A/N: Unbeta-ed. Can't believe its been almost 2 months since I last posted a chapter u.u From here on its gonna be much slower. Thank you for following this story! Comments are very much welcome :3
The sun finally showed up in the certain part of grand line where the straw hats crew anchored.
"Uhm Luffy, are you even sure on what you're saying?" Usopp questioned. After the big shock, the crew are now seated in the lawn deck. Luffy in the middle of the circle while Chiyo is seated at the bottom of the foremast, looking at the ground.
"Of course I am! Once I become the Pirate King, I'll search the sea for Chiyo and marry her!" Luffy answered proudly. "Search the sea? What do you mean Luffy?" Chopper have to asked. Like him the crew wondered why Luffy would have to search for her instead of going to Chiyo's island.
"Ah, its because Chiyo and his father don't stay in any island. Their home is at sea! They go from one island to another to deliver stocks like food, sake and any thing you can think of. Shishishi!". The crew couldn't believe the revelation that just happened. They always thought that Luffy's only romance is to be the Pirate King. Chiyo suddenly spoke, "Luffy, is it okay to introduce me to these people? What if…." Her tone full of worry. Luffy looked at Chiyo and grinned widely " Eveything is fine because they are my nakama!"
The crew looked at Chiyo questioningly, they wondered why she is so worried about them knowing her. As if Robin can read the their mind, she said, "There is a rule among pirates that they are forbid to tell anyone about their wife, girlfriend or fiancé." "Forbid? Why would they have a rule like that Robin?" Nami asked. "Before, such rule doesn't exist. But as the number of pirates grew, and the search for One Piece became intense, other pirates who would rather use underhand methods to make their enemy surrender to them, would take on the other party's wife or kid. Its the one they consider the pirate's greatest weakness." Sanji came out of the kitchen holding a tray with desserts, "Zeff told me that after the Pirate King's execution, the marines also came in a certain island in search for the possibility of the Pirate King having a wife. That made other pirates more afraid and tightened their lips when it concerns this kind of things." He added as he puffed smoke from his cigars.
"But you know Luffy, Im surprised that you know such rule." Zoro told Luffy. At the moment Luffy pointed at Usopp and said "It was Usopp's father who told me that." " My dad?" Usopp screeched in astonishment. "Well I was just a kid back then. Though he didn't left for that kind of reason, he still told me that its something I should remember always until the right time comes." Usopp then remembered his mom and the event that happened in loguetown. He knows exactly why his dad left
"The pirate flag.. Jolly Roger was calling me!"
The image of his mother showed up
"I was glad that he left for the sea.. It was his dream."
Usopp smiled sadly, he understood Chiyo's hesitant to them. He stood up and approached Chiyo, " Don't worry. Your secret is safe with us. My name is Usopp and Im gonna be the bravest man in the sea!" Chiyo was surprised at the sudden gesture but she also stood up and shook hands with Usopp. Sanji came in next with words "Cant believe our captain had a girl before me but at least I still have Nami san and Robin chwan here with me. I'm Sanji and someday Im gonna find all blue!" Nami punched Sanji on the head while Chiyo laughed "Nami san is so dazzling when she's angry!" "Don't mind him Chiyo. I'm their navigator, Nami and Im going to draw the whole map of the world!" Name said as she winked at Chiyo. Franky came next saying, "Im Franky and I made this supppeeeerr ship that will reach the top of Grand Line!" Little steps are heard and Chiyo looked down and saw an animal that looks like a raccoon dog, "Im Chopper! if you have any injuries you can come to me and I'll heal you!" Chiyo thought that Luffy have very interesting nakamas. She turned to Robin while Robin said her name and lastly, "I'm Zoro and to become the greatest swordsman in the world is my dream."
Chiyo looked at everyone. She was happy that Luffy is already starting living his dream to become the Pirate King. "Since all of this is set. Chiyo lets go to the kitchen. Sanji is the best cook in the world! Sanjiiii Meshiii!"
