Hello everyone. Here it is. It took way too long. I want to thank everyone who submitted a review. I have looked over everyones reviews. I will be adding to the bottom of this later. Thanks again for your patience I hope you enjoy.

It was the morning after the Straw Hats left Drum Kingdom. Vivi and Carue were sleeping in. The night before the straw hats had celebrated another nakama joining the crew. Vivi and Carue were not accustomed to the types of parties the Straw Hats threw and were sleeping it off.

Meanwhile the Straw Hats were heading to the kitchen to talk. They all sat down around the table. At first no one was sure what to say. But the second in command stood up and began talking.

"I think we all know why we are here today." Zoro said. Nobody said anything. "Our captain went and did something crazy. Normally Luffy just acts goofy and ends up getting us into some sort of trouble. Well this time it's a hell of a lot crazier. He traveled into the past. What's worse is that he traveled into the past on a whim. We understand it was to save someone important to you. We all wish we could have saved someone close to us. But just what were you thinking?"

Luffy sat there quietly for a few moments just thinking. Soon enough he spoke up. "I want to apologize for making you guys go through your childhoods again. But knowing what I do. I know that I will be strong enough to prevent Ace from dying this time. Going back into the past was the most selfish thing I have ever done. I did this without any thoughts of the repercussions and what would happen to you. I can't apologize enough for doing something so crazy. I can only hope that you will be able to forgive me. But worst of all is that because of my selfishness you guys have to wait even longer for your dreams to come true."

The rest of the straw hats sat there with their arms crossed and just nodding their heads.

"We can be mad at you for doing something so damn stupid, but you won't get rid of us so easily. You keep life interesting on and off the ship. It wouldn't be any fun without you. I couldn't imagine being on any other crew. I know you picked us for various reasons but if it wasn't for you I would probably have died fighting Kuro. I'm glad that I am on this crew and nothing you do no matter how crazy is going to change that. I can't imagine having anyone else be my captain and my friend."

"Thank you Usopp. I'm so glad I got to meet you all once and I am glad that I will be able to get to enjoy Paradise with you before we head off into the New World."

"But knowing what we are up against we are still going to have a lot of work ahead of us." Sanji said

"But now that I think about I have a question for you guys." Luffy said

The five Straw Hats looked at each other then back to Luffy. They knew what he was going to ask. But they still humored him anyway.

"What would that be Luffy?" Nami asked

"How do you guys even know we have all done this before? And how do you know I did something so crazy?"

"You found a magic lamp with a spirit inside didn't you?" Usopp asked

"Yeah, I did."

"Well, we found and used the same lamp. We talked with the spirit inside for a while. He told us all about what you planned on doing." Usopp said

"Oh, ok. So how do you remember everything?" Luffy asked

"The spirit used his powers to copy our memories and knowledge. He used objects that were precious to us as mediums to transfer the information to the younger versions of ourselves in the past." Usopp said

"Think of it like this Luffy." Nami said "We are our older selves in our younger bodies. We have all of our knowledge of the future up to a point but we don't have the physical experience of taking on all of the enemies we had to fight to get there."

"Ok, I think I get it." Luffy said. "So Robin, Franky and Brook are just like you?" Luffy asked

"Yeah they are. All we will have to do is mention the item that was special to them and their latent memories and knowledge of the future comes flooding back to them." Sanji said

"Do you think your personalities are different from the first time around?" Luffy asked

"I don't think ours have changed too much." Nami said "But some of us might have changed more than others."

"Usopp you are definitely different." Nami said

"I don't feel different."

"I guess we will just have to wait and see if it's true or not."

"Well, regardless of what Luffy has done we have a while before we have to worry about that the War of the Best and Marineford. We have to get the rest of our crew back. We also have to deal with Crocodile, Getting to Sky Island, fighting Eneru, Water 7, Enies Lobby, CP9 and Thriller Bark before we get to Sabaody." Nami said

"I really did something stupid but it should be fun seeing how we stack up against our foes again." Luffy said

"I can't argue with you there." Zoro said

"Are you guys ready?" Luffy asked

"Yeah we are." Usopp, Nami and Chopper said

"Really, you guys are ready to train and fight?" Zoro asked

"Well yes and no. We will fight when we have to but we have another secret." Nami said

"Yeah and what is that?" Luffy asked

"We have our weapons from the future to help us."

"Really?"

"Yeah the older versions of ourselves who are probably still on Raftel were watching all of our adventures. They might still be watching us. But I guess they thought that giving us some help wouldn't be such a bad idea. The other older version of myself sent me two Sorcery Clima-tacts." Nami said

"I have my Kuro Kabuto as well as my Pop Greens."

"I have all that I need to modify my devil fruit and access various transformations. I am going to work hard so I might be able to use Monster Point somewhat effectively."

"Well, I guess we all have some work to do to get ready for our fights." Luffy said "Nami how much time do we have before we get to Alabasta?"

"It should be around six days."

"Alright, lets go outside and get started."

Everyone got up and went to get started working on various things. Usopp went down to the storeroom and got the lumber other stuff he had purchased back in Lougetown. He brought it to the side of the ship that would get enough sunlight and got to work building two gardens. One was for himself and the other for Nami's and her weather balls. Soon enough both were complete and filled with soil. Usopp filled his with the various Pop Greens for all sorts of situations.

"Nami, your garden is done."

"Thanks Usopp."

Zoro, Sanji and Luffy went out onto the main deck to work on their Haki. Last night Nami had told Chopper that their was a bag waiting for him. Since they had already talked with Luffy he went to grab his bag that was hidden in the storeroom. He also went to the guy's room and grabbed anything else he needed to grind up the various plants. He brought all of it to the back of the ship. He laid out the various plants on a tarp and pinned them to the deck so they could dry and wouldn't get blown away. With that done he went to watch Luffy beat up Zoro and Sanji.

"Alright are you ready?" Luffy asked

"Yeah, I'm ready but don't tell me you are going to blindfold us again and whack us with a stick." Zoro said

"We don't have a lot of room and we don't have a lot I can throw at you."

"Fine, whatever."

"Wait a second, what are you talking about?" Sanji asked

"When we were on Usopp's island this is how Luffy introduced haki training to us." Zoro said

"So this is just an excuse to hit us." Sanji said

"As I told them, this is how Rayleigh taught me."

"Fine." Sanji said taking a deep relaxing breath and blowing it out his nose.

"Good, now sit down and put these blindfolds on."

"Hold on, let me in on this." Usopp said

"You sure Usopp?"

"Well the sooner I get my Haki back the better."

"Alright then Usopp, take this and start whacking Sanji. Also don't be afraid to hurt him. It will be easier for him to pick up on your motions if you really intend to hurt him."

Zoro didn't have to say anything. Sanji could tell he was enjoying this. The only thing that would make it better was if he got to beat up Sanji himself.

'I will get to smack curly brow around sooner or later' Zoro thought to himself

'I will get to smack the stray marimo around sooner or later.' Sanji thought to himself

"Usopp, swing at Sanji from all directions and at different speeds."

"Got it." Usopp said and he began attacking Sanji. Luffy began attacking Zoro. Usopp caught Sanji off guard quite a few times and got a few good whacks in. The same was true for Luffy and Zoro. Both Sanji and Zoro did manage to dodge a few. Zoro dodged or got lucky a few more times than Sanji did. He didn't seem to be as effected by the blindfold. All while this was going on Vivi and Carue had woken up. Vivi made her way up from the room she shared with Nami. Carue followed Vivi up to the deck outside of the kitchen and they saw what was going on. They were more than shocked to see Luffy and Usopp standing over Zoro and Sanji. Both of whom had bumps of varying sizes on their heads. At the same time they were a little distraught to see Nami and Chopper not doing anything.

"Nami-san, what is going on?" Vivi asked stunned to see the crew beating on each other. "What did they do?" She asked

"Oh, they didn't do anything stupid yet today. This is training."

"What kind of training involves whacking your crew members?"

"Instead of me trying to explain it to you I think a demonstration would be better."

"If you say so." Vivi said unsure of what was going to happen.

"LUFFY."

"Yeah Nami."

"How do you feel about showing Vivi what you are trying to teach to these two?"

"Sure, I can do that. I think these two have had enough for now anyway."

Zoro and Sanji stood up and took off the blindfolds.

"We have a lot of work ahead of us." Zoro said

Sanji didn't say anything. He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled out the lighter and lit it. He took a puff and blew the smoke out in rings. "I hate to say it but I agree. To build up our strength is going to take time." He said

Zoro handed his blindfold to Luffy and he put it on. "We will get to your training after this Usopp." Luffy said

Usopp just nodded and went up to watch with everyone else. Zoro and Sanji stayed down below to help.

"This is what I am trying to teach them Vivi." Luffy said. "Go ahead and don't hold back but just be careful. We don't want to damage the ship."

Zoro took out two of his three swords and began attacking Luffy. But Luffy almost effortlessly dodged every attack Zoro could throw at him. Sanji joined in but didn't do any better. Vivi just stared at them with her mouth open wide. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Luffy was making them look foolish. They couldn't even land one single attack. They soon stopped as they figured they weren't going to be able to hit him. Not yet at least.

"What do you think Vivi?" Nami asked

"That is just incredible."

Carue squacked and continued to squack for a little bit. Chopper translated for everyone.

"Carue said wow over and over. Were you two even trying?"

"Of course we were trying you damn bird." Zoro said

"Luffy has been practicing for years." Nami said

"How many years?" Vivi asked

"More than ten" Luffy said

"That is a long time Luffy-san."

Just to make Zoro and Sanji look even worse he was walking around with the blindfold on. He had no trouble making his way around the ship. He even walked on the banister where the rest of the crew was watching. At this point he was just showing off. As if it wasn't already clear that he didn't need to see to make his way around the ship.

"You know what? This isn't a bad idea." Luffy said

"What are you talking about?" Usopp asked

"Unless Nami says so you are to wear these all the time."

"WHAT" They yelled in unison

"Wait, why me?" Nami asked

"Well, you are the navigator. If the weather is like this it's no problem. But there are three exceptions. If we sail into a storm, when Sanji is cooking and when Zoro is weight training."

"You know that's not such a bad idea." Sanji said "I mean coming from Luffy it's pretty damn intelligent."

"Usopp how about we start your…" Luffy's stomach growled loud enough for everyone to hear. He just rubbed the back of his neck.

"Sounds like it's time for breakfast." Sanji said. He walked up the stairs, into the kitchen and started prepping for breakfast.

"After breakfast sound good Usopp?"

"That's fine with me. It will give me sometime to get used to walking around with a blindfold."

Usopp got another piece of cloth, ripped it and tied it around his head. He started walking around the perimeter of the ship. He extended his arm so his hand would just barely touch the wall. He worked his way around the boat several times. Once he had an idea of how it felt to walk around with a blindfold on he tried to go about his usual business on the boat.

Walking around on the boat blindfolded wasn't easy. But then again he had a pretty good understanding of the layout of the Merry. There were few obstacles on board the ship that would cause them trouble. This training may have worked for Luffy when Rayleigh taught him. But Luffy had a huge island he was unfamiliar with to walk around on. Doing this kind of training on a ship no matter the scale was going to be difficult. There would just never be enough room. For now whacking them over the head would have to suffice.

While Sanji was working in the kitchen the rest of the crew one by one made their way inside. Eventually Usopp made his way in and took off the blindfold. He found an open seat and sat down.

"What did you think Usopp?" Luffy asked

"It wasn't easy, but I know the layout of this ship pretty well."

"Yeah, I figured that trying to do this on a ship would be a problem. When I learned this I had a whole island to explore."

"So does that mean we are going to have to resort to us hitting each other with sticks?" Usopp asked

"Probably."

"I really don't like that idea Luffy." Sanji said

"I figured you wouldn't. But that is how it's going to have to be for now."

"It is to help us get stronger, to get us ready for even stronger enemies, ero-cook."

"I know that you stray marimo."

"This may not be the best way but it is all we have room for. So for now that is what we are going to have to do."

"You know now that I really think about it walking around blindfolded on a boat may not be a good use of time. We are going to have to figure something else out."

"How are you guys ok with getting hit?" Vivi asked

"You saw what Luffy could do right Vivi?" Nami asked

"Well, yes I did."

"You don't have to worry about the idiots. They are going to do whatever they want."

"Yes, that seems like it is the case."

"Chopper, you're going to be have to be ready to bandage the idiots up."

"I will do what I can for them. But something tells me they will not keep their bandages on for very long.

"Nami-swan, Vivi-chan your breakfast is done." Sanji said placing plates in front of the ladies. "Here's your breakfast you bastards."

The straw hats didn't say much about the training while they were eating breakfast. They really couldn't they were doing their best to protect their food from Luffy. Sometime later all of the food Sanji cooked was gone. Usopp and Luffy went outside and started training.

"Are you ready Usopp?"

"No, but lets get started."

Usopp sat down and covered his eyes with the piece of cloth.

"Alright, go ahead."

Luffy began swinging randomly at Usopp. He was having just as much trouble as Zoro and Sanji had. Over the course of an hour or so everyone eventually gathered outside of the kitchen to watch Luffy beat the crap out of Usopp. It was far from pretty but Usopp was also able to dodge a few of the whacks.

"What do you think Usopp? Have you had enough?"

"I think I've had enough for now."

Hearing that everyone disbanded and started to head off to do whatever they wanted.

"You did good for only having done this once before."

Usopp walked over to Luffy and put a hand on his shoulder.

He whispered "You know, I'm surprised my Haki isn't working like it was when we made it to the end of the New World. I understand it being weaker but almost non existent is kind of annoying."

"It might be because of the difference in your attitude. You were more confident in your abilities then. You are much more confident than you were the first time around. It has to be all in your head. And possibly making sense of all of the new information."

"That seems as possible as anything else. But if that's the case I'm not sure how long it will take for everything to process."

"I doubt something like this has ever happened. We are just going to have to give it some time. Until then we will continue to practice."

"I'm not going to like it but I agree. The sooner the better."

"I'm curious Usopp."

"About what?"

"What was it on Dressrosa that brought your Haki to the surface?"

"Do you want to know?"

"Yeah, I do want to know."

"Okay. Do you remember when you and Law were in the castle just before you went to fight Doflamingo?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Do you remember when the little girl fell down unconscious?"

Luffy just nodded his head.

"Well her ability would have made everyone forget you."

"Everyone?"

"Yeah, anyone who had ever heard of you wouldn't have been able to remember anything about you."

"That sucks."

"Yeah, that is what helped me get the shot right. I couldn't imagine a life on the sea without you. If you were touched no one on the whole crew would've…" Luffy covered Usopps mouth with his hand.

"I get it Usopp. A lot would have changed."

Usopp nodded.

"So the next-time we are training try thinking of that. Who knows it might work."

After that Usopp walked off and went to do whatever else he had to do to get ready for their fight in Alabasta. Luffy walked up the stairs to the front of the ship and went over and sat on the figurehead of the Merry. The rest of the morning and the early afternoon were rather uneventful. Chopper was working on making his modified rumble balls. Nami and Vivi were relaxing in the sun while Carue was napping. Zoro was training with an absurd amount of weight. Sanji was waiting on the girls. Usopp was working in his garden.

Earlier after Usopp finished his training with Luffy, Chopper asked him to make a small garden for his plants. He had enough material to left over to make a small garden for Chopper's plants. Lunch and dinner were equally uneventful except for the fact that was Luffy stealing food from whoever wasn't paying attention.

Once dinner was done the straw hats were out on the front deck of Merry. They were telling Vivi of their adventures up to this point or more specifically only the ones leading up to Alabasta. One by one the crew began to call it a night. Chopper, Vivi, Carue, Usopp, Sanji and Finally Zoro. That just left Nami and Luffy alone. Nami was up in the crow's nest for her shift on night watch while Luffy was still sitting on the figurehead looking out into the darkness. Some time passed and Nami made her way down from the crow's nest. She walked over to Luffy who was still sitting there.

"You still awake Luffy?"

"Huh…Yeah I'm still awake. Just thinking." Luffy said turning around and getting off of the figurehead.

"I can only imagine what you are thinking about."

"Just if this was a good idea or not."

"Well, either way we are here and there is no way to change it. So we have to make the best of it. But being back here in Paradise isn't so bad is it?"

"No, it's not so bad. Going back gave me plenty of time to think."

"Well yeah. You had ten years to think about all of the things we are going to do. Do you regret going back into the past?"

"No, but it's going to be weird doing everything again. I didn't want to have a boring adventure. Do remember when we met Rayleigh and we went to Shakky's bar? Usopp asked if the One Piece was real. I wasn't too happy about that. But know that I know its real I just have to follow the path from before. It may not be as fun as the first time but who knows. We might find new ways to entertain ourselves. But there is one thing I know. We will be stronger going into Sabaody this time."

"That may be true but what are we going to do about being separated and spending two years apart?"

"As much as I hated being away from everyone it was and will likely be for the best. We all trained very hard to so that we would be as strong as possible. We are going to need that time just as much to prepare. The New World is going to be just as unforgiving maybe more so. We won't know until we get there. We are going to have to be ready."

"Being apart for so long was awful. But you are right. I just hope everyone agrees. But because we were separated you were able to make it there. You were able to gather so many allies from just showing up there."

"Yeah, some who became more important than others. I wonder how Jinbe and Iva-chan are doing?"

"Didn't Ivankov escape with you from Impel Down?"

"Yeah he did. But I think that's enough about that for now."

"Yeah we can't really be talking about something that's yet to happen especially with someone who doesn't know about any of it in ear shot."

"Agreed. What did you come down here for any way Nami?"

Nami didn't say anything she just stood there for a moment before she began talking. "I had to stretch. I couldn't just sit up there for too long. I would have fallen asleep."

"You know I have been having a tough time sleeping at night. I keep thinking about everything we have to do, all the enemies we have to face. But at the same time I keep thinking of all of the people we might or might not meet. But I guess I have already changed the future. I guess we can't worry about what hasn't happened yet. We can only deal with the consequences of what changes when it does."

"You really have thought about this haven't you?" Nami asked

"Oh come on, did you really think I was that stupid?" Luffy said pouting.

"No…" Nami said as she covered her mouth with the back of her hand to prevent a laugh from escaping. "You're too cute."

"Come on Nami, I'm not cute. I'm a man."

"Whatever you say Captain."

Luffy yawned and rubbed his eye. "I'm going to try and get some sleep, Goodnight Nami."

"Goodnight."

Luffy just started walked over toward Nami and kissed her on the cheek. He wasn't exactly sure why he did it but he did it. He was about to continue walking but he didn't make it anywhere before Nami grabbed him. Nami kissed him on the lips, chuckled and walked away with her fingers intertwined behind her. She turned her head, stuck her tongue out and walked away to head back up to the crow's nest for the next few hours. Luffy walked down to the guy's room and went to bed.

Just a few moments ago in the guys room Sanji stirred in his sleep. "shitty rubber." Sanji mumbled before he rolled over and started getting into an argument with Zoro while the two were still asleep.

The next few days for the Straw Hats were uneventful. Luffy continued to beat the crap out of Usopp, Sanji and Zoro. They trained in both Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki. The morning they were to finally get to Alabasta all of the Straw Hats were awake and going about their own business while they were sailing. Everyone was outside except for Sanji who was working in the kitchen. Luffy and Usopp were fishing using Carue as bait. Off in the distance they could see what looked like fog. Luffy was silently excited when he remembered who should be on the other side of the fog. As they continued to sail through the fog the weight on the fishing rods suddenly increased. Once they were out of the fog they could see Bon Clay holding onto Carue.

"Why am I holding onto this spot billed duck?"

"Who the hell are you?" Luffy and Usopp asked

Mr. 2 let go of Carue and fell into the water below.

"Help me! Please! I'm a hammer and I can't swim." Bon Clay said as he sank

Luffy stretched his arm and found the semi-unconscious ballerina in the water. He retracted his arm and pulled the soaked ballerina onto the deck of the Merry. After a moment or two Bon Clay coughed up the water he had swallowed and sat up.

"Oh…I thought it was all over. I can't believe that my life has been saved by pirates that I don't even know. I will never forget this kindness."

"You can't swim can you?" Luffy asked already knowing the answer

"You're right I ate a Devil Fruit."

"Really which one?" Usopp asked again already knowing very well what his power could do.

"I suppose there's no need to rush while I wait for my ship to come get me. I might as well put on a show! Prepare to witness my ability." Bon Clay got up and walked over to Luffy and proceeded to hit him in the face sending him back into the wall.

Zoro drew his swords more habitually than to prepare for a fight. He knew they weren't in any real danger.

"Waaaaait, Waaaaait, Waaaaait! I told you I was putting on a show."

"It's me." He looked exactly like Luffy.

"Surprised you! Surprised you! Surprised you!" Bon Clay said laughing.

"When I touch myself with my left hand I change back to normal. This is the ability I gained from eating the Mane Mane no mi!"

"He was an exact copy!" Usopp said

Bon Clay walked by and touched everyone's faces. Their was no harm in allowing this to happen so the crew just watched.

"Well, there really is no need to hit anybody though. Hi! Look at me! If I touch my fac …with my right hand (Zoro)…I can imitate aaanyone(Chopper)…Just like this! Even the body!"(Nami) Mr. 2 said as he opened his robe and flashed Usopp, Chopper and Luffy. Usopp and Chopper were surprised. This actually earned a real response from Luffy this time. It was just a little nose bleed and it wasn't just because Usopp was near him.

"Knock it off." Nami hit him leaving a large bump.

"Ouch! Well, now…I'm sorry to say that I shouldn't show you any more of my ability than…"

"You're awesome! Do some more!"

"Ah! Really, I guess I have no choice! Wanna see some more?"

"Show us! Show us!"

"How can they just go along with this?" Nami asked Zoro who was sitting against the side of the ship.

"Show us! Show us!"

"Very well! I'm gonna show you something special! My memory ability!"

Bon Clay touched his face three times and he picked three random faces. The fourth time is what got Vivi's attention. It was her father's face. She was more than shocked to see that the face of the king of a country was in the hands of this ballerina. He touched his face once more to a random face then back to normal. All the while Usopp, Chopper and Luffy were cheering him on and acting like idiots.

"How can they be entertained by this?" Zoro asked

"So what did you think of my performance? I don't usually show this to people."

Usopp, Chopper, Luffy and Bon Clay started doing the can-can. They were once again acting like the idiots they were. "There's my ship" Bon Clay jumped on to the railing of the Merry. "The time has come for us to part. How tragic"

"Please don't go!" Usopp said

"Don't be sad! Journeys and partings go hand in hand. But remember this. To true friendship…how long you've known each other means nothing! Don't cry for me!" Bon Clay said as he jumped from the Merry to the Swanda

"We'll see you again!" Luffy yelled. 'It was good seeing Bon-chan again even though he is an enemy. I never did find out what happened to him after we escaped from Impel Down. I hope he was ok.' Luffy thought

"Let's go men!"

"Aye! Mr. 2, Bon Clay-sama!" The crew of the Swanda said as they sailed away.

"That was… Mr. 2, Bon Clay!" Vivi said

"Vivi! Didn't you recognize him?"

"No…I've never met Mr. 2 or the Mr. 1 pair before…I don't even know their abilities."

'We know their abilities.' Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji thought.

"But I did hear the rumors. They said he is a flamboyant ballerina with a loud voice…who wears a swan coat…with the words Bon Clay written on the back."

"You should have noticed." Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy said

"What's wrong Vivi?" Luffy asked

"Just then…among those faces he showed from his memory… My father's face was in his memory! The face of the King of Alabasta, Nefertari Cobra."

"That's quite a handy ability, being able to impersonate a King. You could pull off and get away with some pretty nasty things." Zoro said

"After he discovers that we are his enemies he can use that memory of his to impersonate any one of us. We won't be able to trust our own nakama." Nami said

"Well then it's a good thing we met him when we did. I've got an idea. Oi, love cook get your ass out here." Zoro said

"What the hell was that you shitty swordsman?"

With everyone outside Zoro went over the plan for Vivi. The rest of the crew knew what he was planning. It worked last time so why not let him have the glory again. Sanji was steaming for not coming up with it sooner but he stayed inside so that they would once again have an ace. Just like last time they all put an X on their arms and wrapped it in a white piece of cloth. By the time they were done with that they ran into a large, white Sea Cat. Vivi told them they couldn't eat it and whacked the monster trio. After a few more hours of sailing they could finally see Alabasta off in the distance.

"Look at all the ships." Usopp said "Do they all belong to Baroque Work!"

"The employees have started to gather. Those are probably the Billions. They are the subordinates of the numbered officer agents. Moreover, They are 200 of Baroque Works' elite. They are on a different level from the bounty hunters on Whiskey Peak."

"200? That's our first real challenge since we got to the Grand Line." Nami said

"That's all." Zoro said "They are the small fries."

"We can't lose sight of our true goal. We can't waste time there are only eight of us." Sanji said

They continued on sailing past the ships. They continued to get closer to the island. "Our first stop is going to be at a port called Nanohana. We are going to have to hide the ship." Vivi said

'Ace, I get to see you again.' Luffy thought

"From now on what ever happens remember that the mark on our left arms is the mark of a nakama." Luffy said

Back to the future Straw Hats watching through the portal

"Alright, I've had enough. I can't stand watching anymore." Zoro said

"I agree, it was fun watching for a while but we have done this all once before. It's bad enough that they have to live it again. But that doesn't mean we have to watch it all again." Usopp said

"I want to continue our journey as much as anyone here. But what do we do about Luffy?" Nami asked

"Oh I thought you would never ask." The ghost said

"What does that mean?" Sanji asked

"It means it's about time we get your captain out of the rift."

"WHAT THE FUCK!" The Straw Hats yelled

"I thought you sent Luffy-san back in time." Brook said

"Well, technically I did. His real body is suspended in between time. Think of it this way. It's a more direct and effective route than what you guys had me do for you." The ghost snapped his fingers and a portal opened. A moment later Luffy walked out of the portal and scratched the back of his neck.

"Well, that was interesting." Luffy said "I thought I was sent back in time. The second I walked in time froze and another me walked through the portal to the past. I saw everything that happened on both sides. It looks like I have…" Luffy was interrupted. Nami ran over to him, jumped into his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She finally got a chance to kiss him and she wasn't going to let the idiot go again. Luffy grabbed her ass pushed her up and deepened the kiss.

"It's about time." Robin said laughing

"I think I am going to have some work to do to remodel the Sunny." Franky said
