I do not own One Piece

Arriving upon the ship, everyone had come aboard and the young captain started throwing orders to set sail and get ready for the reverse mountain. Upon seeing the lighthouse beyond the mist, Sanji set a barrel in the middle of the deck and smiled. He then put his foot on it.

"To find all Blue!" Usopp Nami, Luffy and Zoro walked up to him in the middle of the storm and followed his lead. They had been together for so long, but they never forgot what had tied them together in the beginning, their dreams.

"To be the worlds greatest swordsman!" Zoro smirked as he said those words. Nojiko, Kaya and Kuina all gathered with them around the barrel and, understanding what they were doing, they decided to join in.

"To make the world recognize my strength as a woman!" Kuina shouted with a grin.

"To save peoples lifes and become a great doctor!" Kaya added proudly.

"To be a brave warrior of the sea!" Usopp added.

"To draw a map of the world!" Nami said sternly.

"To discover the world beyond our sea and find where I belong!" Nojiko said softly. She had never really left East blue since she was young, sure Nami had taken her a few times to travel in the calm sea they were from, but she had always wanted more.

"To be the freest man who as ever sailed the seas!" The captain finally said.

To not be alone in the end...

They all lifted their leg and exploded the barrel. When Zoro looked up to his captain's grinning face, he saw the tears who were carefully hidden in the rain, pouring slowly down his cheeks before he started shouting about paradise and the reverse mountain. Kuina looked up to her rival and followed his gaze in concern. The rest of the veteran had hidden their own concern, seeing their captain wouldn't want to be seen as weak.

The three girls who had known Luffy for the shortest amount of time had all learned from the others some details of the situation when they overheard the veterans and the captain's talk over his lack of sharing and burden, so they already knew what kind of person was Luffy really inside. Kuina saw a man to be respected like Zoro, Nojiko saw a man you could trust and believe in and Kaya saw a man who would put anyone of his friend's safety above his own. They were all right and they wouldn't press on the matter. The three girls, being the newest members by 28 years after the others that it was their place to shut it.

Kuina was actually normally bold in that matter and Nojiko never let anyone walk over her, but Luffy wasn't like the others, so they shut up. They tried to talk to each other about it, throwing quick glances at the rest of the crew to not get heard, Kaya in particular, being the shyest.

"Do you feel threatened by me?" The three girl froze and turned to their captain who was now sitting on the railing right next to them.

"N-No! Captain Luffy, we aren't." Kaya stuttered.

"Don't call me like that, Luffy is fine, you three are my Nakamas!" He smiled softly. It was one of those sincere ear to ear smile that he had a lot less often now in this new life, but it had the wanted effect of calming the girl down to some degree.

"I know you wont open up to any of us, but you should at least talk and let some of this burden with Zoro, he is your first mate after all." Kuina said boldly, letting out what she had been thinking for a while.

Nojiko added a little irritated. "We may have joined your crew only this year, but they deserve to know what is bugging you if it is true that you have known each other for 28 years!"

"I don't think it is our place to ask this kind of request, but as the ships only medical assistant at the time, I strongly believe living alone with a heavy burden is not good for your health..." Kaya said in a lower voice than her two friends.

"You shouldn't feel like your voice and opinion matters less on this ship because you have known me for a shorter amount of time, and what I carry is not too heavy, I don't need to put it all on my first mate."

The three girls watched as Luffy walked away to the front of the ship and started barging orders to the rest of the crew with Nami, since the reverse mountain had come into view. This time, the ship headed straight and hadn't almost crash in the mountain, thanks to the experience ad expertise of the orange-haired navigator. When they started going up, Usopp went to Kaya's side and pulled her close. She wanted to yell, but the sniper's grip on her was somehow really reassuring. Kuina Kept her hands tightly around the railing to prevent herself from falling and kept her composure with Zoro who was looking at her with an amused expression and chuckled as he saw her tense posture and white knuckles gripping the side of the ship. Nojiko was kind of in the same position, but she was laughing seeing she had nothing to worry about with how strong everyone on the ship was.

Passing through the clouds, they finally reached the top of the mountain.

"I don't see Laboon in the way... Why is that?" Usopp asked.

"Look without your eyes, maybe you should ask Brook this question." Luffy retorted and the veterans all started to laugh. Laboon was on the side of the mountain, happily dancing at the sound of a violin. The whale looked a lot better than the first time they had seen her. The scars that once were on her were faint or completely nonexistent. They arrived at the bottom of the mountain, close to the lighthouse, they saw a skeleton playing violin. The veterans cheered at the view while the girl trio was shaking heavily.

"It's a living dead!" Kaya shouted. Usopp walked to her and put his arms protectively around her.

"Don't worry, that's our musician. I promise you get used to it after a while. We pretty much had the same reaction the first time we saw him." Kaya seemed reassured. If Usopp was fine with this skeleton than it would be alright.

"Yohohohoho! What lovely ladies we got here! May I see your pant-"

"HELL NO!" Usopp and Nami shouted as they brought their foot down on the latter's head.

"How harsh!" Brook let out with a laugh. "Luffy-san, it is so good to see you again!"

"How come you are here anyway?" Asked Sanji with a hint of curiosity as he lit a cigarette.

"Franky-san came in the Florian triangle with the ship a few years ago, he dropped me here with Crocus-san, who is still on his tiny island in Laboon's stomach, and Laboon while he went and did his things. I think Franky-san wanted to work more on Sunny. He said he will meet us at Jaya."

"Jaya? Isn't Jaya the island just before Water 7? His island? Whay wait one island earlier?" Zoro asked with a brow raised.

Brook sighted. "Zoro-san, You have to understand we heard a lot of tales from Usopp abo-"

"DIDN'T YOU BOTH LEARN BY NOW TO NOT LISTEN EVERYTHING USOPP SAYS?" Nami yelled outraged.

"WE JUST WANTED TO SEE SKY ISLAND!" Kaya yelped as she heard the skeleton shout before she calmed as the veterans were all giggling. Yes, Usopp had talked a lot about Skypea and out of all the tales, the floating island was one they were really happy that it was true.

As they were talking, Luffy felt a boat coming their way. Two passenger jumped near them with their weapons first one was a man with ginger hair and a crown on his head with a 9 drawn on each cheek. He was dressed in red and black in a look that could look refined if it wasn't for the fake crown on his head that made him look a little childish. He was carrying around a long staff as a weapon and the staff was clearly made of sea-stone, as the veterans had come to notice after all the traps they had been involved in that involved sea-stone.

The woman had relatively short and sharp trimmed blue hair that didn't go past her shoulders. She had a dark red flower in her hair and a red tank top with a light blue vest over it with white fur on it. She wore also white shorts and a white pair of boots. Her weapons of choice were a Kama made of sea-stone attached with a chain of the same material.

"So you are the one we call Mugiwara." The blue haired girl said as she swung her chain, walking slowly toward them. Luffy nodded with a smirk.

"Or you can just call me Luffy." The captain shrugged. The Four people who had never met her in their past life were a little reluctant, but relaxed when they eyed their five grinning crew-mates. "What are your names?" The two didn't respond.

They all looked at their captain and decided to follow in his little game. "Since you won't respond Mister... I am going to call you mister nine, with the scribble on your face and Miss..."

"Nami-swan, what day is it today?" Sanji asked nonchalantly.

"Wednesday."

"That's good lets call her Miss Wednesday. So, since we are in the presence of royalty, lets just hear them out." The blue-haired shifted and the man frowned.

"R-Royalty you say?" Miss Wednesday asked.

"Well, your friend is wearing a crown." Usopp implied, pointing the object as if he was pointing out an obvious fact.

The blue haired woman continued walking to them in a similar manner she stopped two feet in front of the captain. "I have come for your head." The woman took her kama in one hand and threw something at the ground, lifting a ton of reddish sand and smoke. She enrolled the chain around the straw-hatted teen's leg and pulled to make him fall. She than planted her kama in the ground next to his face and went to pin him down. when the smoke lifted, Mister nine was out cold and she was surrounded. Looking down, the captain was grinning and in a few seconds, she found herself tied to her partner with her own weapon.

"Vivi, you are good with this thing!" The raven haired captain dissipated just to reappear a feet from her. "But you still have a long way to go." He than started untying the chain.

"What- why- how do you know my name?"

"Because we are Nakama and I will help you save your country."

Hey so here you have the chapter nine.

I left the Alabasta arc because I think Robin is the kind of person who would change the past really.

One important thing. Lately I had been kind of down for personal reasons, but I read the reviews I had for this story and it made my day. I am just saying that I wouldn't have finished this chapter without your comments and that I was really happy to read them.

I am thinking of writing a third fanfiction soon and I wanted to know what you guys would have wanted to see more. I want to make a story with Luffy if he had been born blind. I have two ideas. Or I do one in the One piece universe (with a different devil fruit) and other stuff you will learn later or one in a modern universe. Let me know what you guys would like to read.

I am also sorry, I think this is the largest amount of time I went by without posting a new chapter of either Headache or The freest man in thew world and I have good reasons since I didn't have much access to the Internet during the last few weeks and a bit of a block.

Thank you again for your support!
