Because the last chapter was so short I'm giving you next. But from now, there will be more time before the updates. Oh, and if you would be so kind and leave some reviews I would be delighted.

Last time:

"In that case, when we get everyone together we'll celebrate and you can't say no." Said the red-haired girl, ending the conversation. And thus Jimbei met Luffy.

Robin's POV

Afterwards I came back on the board of Sunny I informed Zoro, Brook and Franky about current situation. They smiled at the thought of reuniting even Zoro. I smiled as well and left them to themselves. It was long day and much information to go through and I still have even more left.

Luffy's POV (2 days left)

The last few days were boring and left me wishing for earlier depart, but I knew my nakama need some time before leaving. At least I got to talk with Jimbei and Hammock from time to time and training with Arittaka helps too.

I just don't get why someone has problem with fishmen. They are really cool, or Jimbei is and he's good friend. Not to mention that weird karate that allows manipulate with water, my eyes turns into stars only by thinking about it. But now are they are both gone, after all they're Shichibukai and staying here more than needed is not taken too well. (Marines will always be marines. *sigh*)

Finally, the guards continued the patrol and I could focus on the task ahead. Sneaking into the room of an Admiral is normally easy task, but not in the middle of the day. And this time I can't allow myself to be caught, this is different than playing pranks on him, this would get me killed, them killed, and that's not acceptable in the slightest.

I picked the lock and went inside, quietly closing the door. Looking around, I saw it's the same as back then. I forced the memory back and went to search for stash I was sure he had. "Where it could be?" I asked myself.

After few minutes went and I didn't found anything I tried using my DF powers. I was lucky enough. Activating my power helped my senses as well, so when I used my better eyesight I spotted some irregularities and in the end found what I was looking for. Inside were some money and belongings and more importantly folders. I right away took the snail out of my pocket and made pictures of what was inside, then carefully returned everything to it's places and quickly went out of here before someone could find me here.

No one ever spotted me. Thank Nami for teaching me few tricks including pick-locking I should probably give her some jewelry as a 'thank you'.

Time skip

For once I was right, I can really be free. It's reality, Akainu never made copies of that files. I guess he thought having it hidden in Mariejois is good enough, but he underestimated me. The files telling mine and my siblings family ties can be destroyed and then even if he said something… Let's just say he would lose his career and respect of people, because he would have to admit he knew all this year about us.

Sengoku won't blame Garp for never telling him about my dad, Monkey D. Dragon. Yes, he will be little pissed off, but we're family, Monkey D. family, it's expected of us to make mess.

Akainu on the other hand made deal with 13-old girl. Deal, that changed my life, that left me with jarred x-shaped scar on my chest. Deal that left almost everyone thinking I'm dead. Okay, I can't really blame this one on him. I was the one who asked Dadan to tell this lie to others. It was my way to protect, my brothers would never accepted fact their little weak sister sacrificed herself to protect them, they would fought tooth and nail to get me back.

What I'm trying to say here is: Admiral Akainu made a deal he hadn't any right to seal and was keeping it from his superiors. I think if he's given the chance he's going to try and send me, Ace, Sabo and our nakama to the Impel Down, but he won't say anything to save his own neck. That's the kind of person he is.

4 years back:

I went to the Foosha Village to spend some time with Makino, but encountered this weird man I didn't like, so I decided to follow him. He was pretty tall with dark hair and had the aura of someone in command. I asked few people if they know him, but they just shook their head.

When he went to the forest I made decisions and confronted him. "Who are you? And what do you want here?" My harsh tone surprised me a little, I was friendlier even towards Dadan and her bandits when I met them and I hated bandits! That man just looked at me.

"You're Garp's brat and the one living with them." He knew me somehow recognizing me. "The two brats you're living together with. They are criminals." Criminals? I know we beat up some people in Grey Terminal or did dine-and-dish, but it was all three of us and he said it like I didn't do anything. "I don't care what you say old man, but you're not touching my brothers!"

"Brothers, do you even know who are they? One of them has blood of demon in his veins. The other has fled from the life of noble and that's not acceptable. Both of them are going to be executed. You're Garp's granddaughter you should know this and by way of Absolute Justice show me where ate they staying to help me to catch them."

This was making me angry just who is he? To talk like this about my brothers, unacceptable. My nails were drawing blood to keep myself from lashing at him. I may not know who he is, but my senses are telling me he's strong as grandpa, maybe even stronger. There's no way for me to beat him the way I'm now, not even with Ace and Sabo's help. I slowly relaxed.

"They're my brothers no matter what and I'm not letting you hurt them, yet I know I can't beat you! What would make you leave them alone?" I asked the last part gritting my teeth.

Then we made a deal. He's going to leave my brothers alone and I'm going to become marine, but before that, I need to prove myself tough enough and survive his attack. I don't care what he's going to do and then he used his magma fist.

'I will survive and make sure this deal will bite him in the ass in the future.' I thought as the searing pain went through my whole body. I could feel my body falling and hitting the ground, yet I stubbornly refused to scream or cry, I wouldn't give him that satisfaction. The last I heard were his steps going away and I smiled before passing out.

Dadan's POV

I was going back to the 'house' when I smelt burning flesh, normally I would ignore this, but for some reason I found myself looking for the source. After I found her I felt sense of dread washing over me. It was Luffy, she had hole in her chest, but somehow still breathing and when I looked more closely I noticed the wound was slowly closing itself.

I didn't waste any more time and quickly run for the hut with Luffy in my arms. "Oi, Dadan. You shouldn't run it just may kill you!" Ace exclaimed laughing. I didn't notice either of them until Ace said it, but unlike normal I didn't yell at him to shut up, just continued on my well and went fast inside door shouting for Magra to bring first-aid.

Ace and Sabo must have followed, because they started panic when they saw Luffy all bloody. I ushered them out, they shouldn't see her like this, not on the brink of dying.

"Dadan? Where are Ace and Sabo?" Asked really weak voice and I looked at Luffy by some miracle conscious. Magra did patch her up, but that was not even 5 minutes ago. She shouldn't be up! 'The brats are all monsters' I thought, only this time fondly.

"They are out. I didn't want them to see you like. They were in hysterics enough. I didn't feel like adding to the fire. But what happe-"

"I need to ask you a favor." The brat said interrupting me. "You need to tell them I died." "What? Why would-" I started to ask, but she cut in.

"They know about them, someone was here to take them away and execute them. I cut a deal with him. But I know my brothers wouldn't accept, so you need to tell them, no to everyone I died. It will be better this way." She said to me and I couldn't help but gape her. What she's asking of me, it's a lot, especially with family like hers.

"What deal?" Depending on this answer I'm going to do as she asks. "Become marine, become his dog. That's it." She said in light weighted tone and I knew I couldn't really stop her, but tried. "Even if I told them you died, you can't leave, and you're still hurt. It's wonder your conscious." I pulled my last card and she stood up and started taking off the bandages. "What do you think you're doin', foolish girl?" She looked me in the eyes and then gestured to her injury, but to my shock the only left was scar. "I already healed. Thank you Dadan for everything and please look after them. They will be in bad mood and I don't want them do anything stupid while they're like that." I nodded and watched as she silently disappeared.

"And now, how the hell am I supposed to say them this?!" Yeah, the brats won't like this. This is going to be hell.

Present

I whistled happily as I was getting farther and farther away from him and closer to my nakama. This is great day. Now only meet with Robin, she's to tell me what she found out about Shirohige and his crew. I hope they're as impressive as the rumors make them.

Robin's POV (last day at Marineford)

"…I already told you about 14 commanders. The only left are 1st and 2nd division commanders and 2 other guys that you should know about." Robin was almost at the end of explanation and my head felt like it's going to burst from all the informations.

"I can't tell you much about 2nd division commander. It seems marines couldn't find anything on him. I know he's fairly strong, he's one of the commanders after all, and has eaten mera mera no mi. That's where his epitome comes from. Firefist-san is very mysterious character." Luffy narrowed her eyes at this, it's not exactly common for marines to know so little.

"1st division commander, Marco the Pheonix, on the other hand is well known. Whole Whitebeard's crew is loyal to him, but Phoenix-san is probably the most. Messing with his captain is very good way how to get very pissed of Marco on your case. He also eaten Mythical Zoan fruit, to be exact he turns into Phoenix and has rare ability to heal himself. And according to the files he's skilled user of Armament and Observation Haki." Luffy looked lost in thoughts, probably thinking how it would be, fighting against this opponent. I chuckled.

"Like I said there are two more people I'm concerned about. First came on board of Moby Dick as Firefist-san and the information on him are missing as well. The second is Marshall D. Teach. His movements were considered suspicious by marines. He was seen in black-market searching for one certain devil fruit and meeting with shaddy individuals. For some reasons marines seem to think, he's doing it on Shirohige-san's order. I, however don't think so. Shirohige and his crew wouldn't deal with such people, makes one wonder why Teach is." I said to Luffy, not really liking this person behavior. He smells like trouble. "I try to find more about his past and I found someone with name Marshall Teach, but this person was drug dealer and killer. Whitebeard-san wouldn't accept someone like that as his son."

"No, he wouldn't. If he knew, he definitely wouldn't accept him. More like throw him to sharks. How high are the chances of those two being the same person?" She asked me and quickly replied. "I don't have anything that could prove those two are one and the same person, but my instincts are telling me I'm right and it's him."

"If you think so, then I'm going to trust you Robin. I don't like this. It's feels like trouble and worse than I ever made." Luffy said and I couldn't help but agree with her.
