First is that the end of this chapter will have LEMONS so you have been warned. Do with that what you will. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Second, I want to thank Partsu for mentioning that I forgot a back to the future straw hats snippet. I went back and added that part to the end of the last chapter. So please go back and read it if you are interested. I hope that if you do read the last part of the previous chapter you enjoyed it. Moving forward I want to keep doing these as it is different and adds more to the chapter. I would like your input in who you would like to see appear in these moving forward. I don't know who of you follow the manga or are strictly anime only. But for those of you who follow the manga know that some events have transpired in the past few chapters.
Would you like to see portions of chapters with those characters? Or maybe even separate chapters? They could be any amount of time apart in any part of the One Piece world. These events are separate and the crew in the past will not have any knowledge about what happens.
However I would like to keep the crew from going to the islands they grew up on. I am working on a separate story for that. Maybe you have an idea for an island the future Straw Hats can visit. Or it could even be an island that could be added to the main part of my story to differentiate it from canon.
Leave a comment or send me a PM and let me know what you come up with. I can work to expand on it. Of course you would be given credit for coming up with the idea. But please have an account. I want to give you the credit you deserve.
TLDR: LEMONS, More added to the previous chapter. Ideas for new Islands or characters you want to see in the post Pirate King part of the story. Send me a comment or PM. HAVE AN ACCOUNT FOR THANKS & CREDIT
Now on to the story.
Ace followed the Straw Hat crew into the kitchen so they could sit down and talk. Before she could walk in Ace stopped Nami for a moment. Everyone else was getting situated in the kitchen while Sanji was making tea.
"Sorry, but I have to ask." Ace said "How much do you know?"
"Probably more than you do."
"Really, like what?"
"Can't say. I'm sure Luffy told you all sorts of things?"
"Yeah he did. But you know Luffy. He never goes into too much detail about anything especially when he is excited."
"Yeah, that sounds like Luffy."
"I'm not sure if this is my place to say this but my brother likes you, a lot. He wouldn't stop talking about you. I mean he told me about a bit about everyone but he never said too much about any one topic."
"You're right it's not really your place to tell me that. But I already know. I have feelings for him too. Whether or not I want to tell him yet is something I need to figure out."
"You might as well just tell him. I'm sure he knows exactly what you are thinking. He may say something before you have even given it any thought. He will surprise you more often than not. When it comes to his friends he is always just far enough ahead to get inside your head."
"That sounds like Luffy. He always knows what you need from him often before you even realize it yourself."
"Yeah, so just take your time with him. I'm sure you know he takes everything at…" Nami interrupted him
"You don't have to worry Ace. I know how Luffy thinks and I will take good care of him."
"I appreciate it Nami. But make sure the idiot treats you well. I don't want to see either of you getting hurt over this. The way he talked about you, he talked as if you were already family."
"What kind of family are we talking about? The type of family where he thinks of everyone the same way or the type where he thinks only of me in a more intimate way?"
"Honestly it was a little of both. He cares for you in a way I had never seen Luffy care about someone before. At the same time I know he doesn't want to lose you over something stupid or should something go sideways."
"Don't worry Ace. I'm sure we will figure it out sooner or later. The next time you see all of us together, well you'll just have to wait and see." Nami kept a straight face as she thought about the future that happened once. 'We never did see you again. Here's hoping Luffy can get you out of Marineford safely this time.'
"I guess I will." Ace said
Nami just smiled as Ace walked by her into the kitchen. Nami followed Ace into the kitchen. They found the only empty seats at the table and sat down. Luffy didn't even question why Ace and Nami pretty much walked in together. He just started talking to Ace.
"So I'm curious about something Ace."
"What is that Luffy?"
"I was wondering what you were doing out here towards the beginning of the Grand Line?"
"I've been looking for a man named Marshall D. Teach who also goes by Blackbeard. He broke the one rule on our ship. He killed a crewmate. Over a Devil Fruit of all things and ran away. He was one of my subordinates so it's my job as the Second Division Commander to find him and make him pay for what he did."
"Having any luck?"
"Nope, none yet. I have just been following rumors up to this point. My most solid lead to date was that he went to a winter island named Drum and caused quite a bit of trouble there. But I missed him and he was already in the wind."
The tea had finished while Ace was talking. Sanji walked around and passed out cups full of tea to most of the people present in the room.
Chopper passed on the tea but it was clear that he was thinking. He wasn't going to say anything. He didn't think it would be appropriate to thank Blackbeard for anything. Yes it was a tragedy that Blackbeard showed up and wrecked the former Drum Kingdom. But at the same he thought about how it was a blessing in disguise. Wapol had left the country to protect his own ass after he realized how strong Blackbeard and his crew were.
"So what now Ace?" Nami asked
"I guess I go back to looking and listening. I'm certain I will find him eventually if I just keep looking around. Before I forget, what are you guys doing here aside from restocking?"
"We're here to kick a Shichibukai's ass." Luffy said. Shortly followed by a punch to the back of the head from one fiery red head.
"Don't forget that we came here to help Vivi." Nami said rubbing her fist
"Vivi, where have I heard that name before?" Ace asked no one in particular. He tilted his head to the side before he slammed his fist into his palm. "Oh, I remember now. Vivi is the name of the princess of this country." Ace said. It took a few seconds for everything to click before he spoke up again. "I might be a pirate but it is still cool to meet royalty even if a majority of royals are stuck up assholes."
"Don't assume things idiot." Nami said punching Ace in the back of the head.
"How?" was all Ace could say.
"Luffy you said you didn't teach her Haki, right?" Ace asked
"Nope." Luffy said "Not yet."
"Good, don't teach her." Ace said looking to his little brother who had a finger in his ear. "You didn't hear what I said did you?"
"What did you say Ace?"
"I told you not to teach her Haki you dumbass."
"Even if I did I can still dodge her attacks."
Nami got up out of her seat and walked around the table towards her target. 'Good don't move.' she thought. She walked over to him and instead of punching him in the head she put her arms around his neck and pressed her breasts up against his back. The crew, Vivi and Ace were beyond surprised at the action. Sanji was fuming that his beautiful Nami-swan would do that to the shitty rubber captain. As she was holding onto the captain she whispered something into his ear that turned Luffy bright red. Soon after she let go and walked back to her seat like nothing had happened.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Ace said clearly amused by the turn of events.
"That's how what is?" Chopper asked innocently enough
"I'm glad I stuck around. I can see that my little brother is in good hands." Ace said finishing off the rest of his tea.
"Do you really have to go Ace?" Luffy asked
"Yeah, I think it's time I head out again."
"Alright, if you think so." Luffy said clearly disappointed.
"Before I go I have something for you little brother."
"What is that?" Luffy asked
Ace tossed a folded up piece of paper to Luffy.
"A vivre card." Luffy said
"That's exactly what that is. I assume you already know what it does."
"Yeah I do." Luffy said
"Well, I better get going. Thanks again for the tea Sanji."
"You're welcome. Hope to see you again sometime soon."
"Oh, don't hope for that. The next time we meet we will be rival pirates again. Next time I'm going to kick all of your asses." Ace said with a humorous smirk
"Yeah, we will see about that." Luffy said.
Ace got up and walked out the door. The crew followed him to where he had tied his boat to the railing of the ship.
"I have to thank you all again. I know he can be more than a handful once he decides he wants to do something. But please look after him for me. His heart is always in the right place even if his head doesn't want to agree." That earned a small chuckle from the crew. Luffy looked to his friends then back to Ace.
"Hey, that's not funny Ace."
While Luffy was talking Ace quickly shot Nami a knowing glance. One that had lots of emotion packed into it. One that said I am going to be counting on you to look after my little brother. Then he looked back to Luffy.
"Oh yes, yes it is. I hope you deal with your Shichibukai problem."
"Thanks Ace. We will, and I hope you take care of Blackbeard."
"Yeah, me too." Ace sighed. "Well until we meet again." Ace said as he untied the rope and jumped over the side of the ship and sailed off.
"Who knew you had such a famous brother." Vivi said
"I know, who would have guessed the Second division commander of the Whitebeard pirates is your older brother." Usopp said playing along with Vivi's comment
"Well, so now that Ace is gone what do we do?" Nami asked
"Well our first stop is Erumalu." Vivi said.
"How far are we away from there?" Usopp asked
"About a half an hour. So get any last things together we may need. It's going to be very hot walking through the desert to Yuba."
"Nami could you sew this onto the ribbon of my hat?" Luffy asked handing Nami the vivre card and his straw hat.
"Yeah, that is no problem." Nami said as she took the two items to her room to quickly get a needle and thread to sew the vivre card onto the inside of the red ribbon.
"So tell me, I what are we going to Yuba for?" Zoro asked
"The reason we are going is so that I can reason with the Rebel leader. I don't want anymore bloodshed."
"There are what, 700,000 rebels there? What makes you think you can convince that many people to stop?"
"I'll convince them to stop. The rebel leader is my childhood friend! I'll stop all of this senseless violence. I won't let Baroque Works have their way with this country anymore."
"Alright then. On to Yuba."
Around the same time Ms. All Sunday and Mr. 0 were at Rain Dinners making final preparations.
"The plan goes into action in just two more days. Have you made all the arrangements?"
"Yes, everything is in place. 150 of the billions are on standby at Nanohana."
"Good, I've recalled Mr. 2 as well. It seems Mr. 3 couldn't be found."
"All of the Officer Agents will gather tonight at Spiders Café at 8 o'clock."
"Hmm… Very good."
"In just a few hours time. It's already 5 o'clock."
In the meantime while the Straw Hats were making their way to Erumalu, Officer Agents from Baroque Works were beginning to gather at a place called Spiders café, which is owned and run by a blue haired woman who goes by the name Paula. The first to show up at Spiders Café were Mrs. Merry Christmas and Mr. 4.
"Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Oh I'm pooped! What a journey! I'm exhausted! My back is killing me! It's all your fault, Mr. 4! You're too slow! Oh, my back! You idiot!"
"S…So…rry…ab…out…that."
"Yes, yes, yes. How's business paula? The place is kind of empty today. That's empty with a capital E!"
"You have the place to yourselves today. Let me guess you will have orange pekoe and for you Mr. 4 you like apple tea, right?"
"I don't want it too hot! I want to be able to drink it right away! Now hurry it up! Bring it out! Bring it."
"You seem well. How's work going?"
"In our business, you fail, you die. I'm doing splendidly, you id-id-idiot!"
"Of course. How silly of me."
A little while later some music could be heard in the distance.
"Huh? What's that weird music you're playing?"
"Music? Oh, that's a sonata. It doesn't have any lyrics."
"Un, deux, oraa, un, duex, kora"
"Huh" Both Paula and Mrs. Merry Christmas said
Outside of Spiders Café.
"This world is made for men and women…But when you're me, you're a man…and a woman. That's why I'm the strongest!"
A few minutes later the door to spider's café opens.
"Hello! How deux you do?"
"Are you crazy?" Paula asked
"I'm not crazy, Paula! I'm just happy! Let me have an octopar." Mr. 2 said smacking the counter.
"An octopar?"
"An octopus parfait! Isn't it obvious? Hee hee hee!" He turned away from Paula to look back to his subordinates "You can all go home now."
"Aye-aye!" Mr. 2's subordinates said
"One must never miss dance practice!"
"Aye-aye!"
Turning back around he spotted some more familiar faces. "Oh! What are you doing here, fatty and the old bat?"
"Shut up! That shrill voice of yours makes my back ache!"
Completely ignoring Ms. Merry Christmas, Mr. 2 turns back to Paula."So I hear that Mr. 1 and his partner are coming. I've never had the chance to meet him before. I'm so excited! But everyone's afraid of him!"
"Oh that doesn't matter to me!"
While Mr. 2 and Paula were talking Mr. 3 was looking in the window. Some time passed and night fell.
"Ahh, night is falling. It's almost time!"
"This is so boring. I'll just keep twirling. I'll do just that."
"Huh…huh…huh…huh"
"Stop doing that you're making me dizzy!"
"WHY DON'T YOU MAKE ME, YOU OLD BAT!?"
"IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT!"
"Stop it you two!"
The clock struck 8 and the front door of the café was broken down. Mr. 2's subordinates came flying through the wall.
"Hey what's the big idea!? Why'd you crash in here like that!?"
"N-no…that's…"
"Friends of yours, Bon Clay? I found them slinking around in the desert. But they aren't dead." Mr. 1 said "You all seem to be getting along. Don't waste your strength in pointless fellowship."
"Those are my henchmen!"
"STOP MR. 2!"
Mr. 2 tried kicking Mr. 1 but didn't land a single kick. Mr. 1 punched and Mr. 2 just barely dodged. They continued this dance for a little while before Paula stepped in to stop them.
"Wait, Mr. 1! Let's all calm down!"
"Don't stop me Ms. Doublefinger. I'm going to kill him!"
"LET GO OF ME FATTY." Mr. 2 said
"Calm down Mr. 2. It's eight o'clock and all the agents are here. And our orders have been delivered to Spiders Café. Now we'll go to Rainbase, the town of dreams. The one we call 'Boss,' whose face we've never seen, is waiting for us there."
In the middle of the desert
"I never dreamed that you were Ms. Doublefinger, Paula!"
"Hee Hee…I never said I wasn't."
Back in Rain Dinners.
"They should be heading for Rainbase about now. Bunchi should get them here by morning."
"Have the Billions in Nanohana been notified? Our usual messengers the unluckies never came back."
"I dispatched the lizard runners as substitutes."
"I see. Good work."
Earlier that afternoon the Straw hats and Vivi docked their ship along the coast of one of the inlets that led back out to sea. They had gotten off the Merry and were getting ready to start their trek across the desert.
"How far is Yuba from here?" Luffy asked
"It's half a day away to the northwest." Vivi said
"Look at the map. We just sailed up the Sandora River and landed her at this inlet. This is the Green City of Erumalu. Or at least it used to be."
"What is that?" Usopp asked not paying any attention to Vivi
"That's a Kung Fu Dugong." Vivi said "Don't go near it Usopp. It's dangerous."
"Luffy beat it." Nami said
"NO, Luffy! It's the code of the Kung Fu Dugong to become the apprentice of anyone who defeats it!"
"A disciple of the Martial Arts, eh?" Zoro said
In the meantime Luffy beat many more and started to teach them.
"LUFFY." Nami yelled. "Stop playing around. We've got to go."
"Alright, fine. Sorry about this guys." Luffy said before he unleashed a wave of Haoshoku Haki and knocked out all of the Dugongs."
"Was that really necessary Luffy?" Vivi asked
"They insisted on following me. I wasn't going to give them my food."
'He's so selfish.' Nami thought. 'At least he didn't hit them.'
'We had to bribe them with food last time. This is better.' Sanji thought
"Do those Dugongs live around here Vivi?"
"No, they live in the sea. The Sandora River used to nourish the land. But in recent years the river has lost much of its strength and is being overcome by the sea."
"Then all that water was sea water?"
"Yes, we can't drink it or use it to water the crops."
"That why this city is all dried up?" Zoro asked
"No there used to be enough rainfall to sustain the city. Until recently, Erumalu was green and full of life. However in the last three years not a drop of rain has fallen in this entire region."
"But the port we were at earlier looked okay." Chopper said
"Nanohana gets its water from the neighboring oasis of Katorea. Throughout its long history, Alabasta never suffered from drought, until recently. But one place got plenty of rain. That was Alubarna, the capital where the King's palace is. The people called it the King's miracle until the day of the incident."
"So, what happened?" Nami asked
"Two years ago in Nanohana some cargo was being off loaded. From what I understand what happened is that a cart broke. It was carrying two large bags. When the cart broke and the bags fell and their contents were spilled on the ground. The people who were delivering the bags said it was supposed to be delivered to the King in Alubarna. The bags were filled with Dance powder."
"Dance powder. They call it the powder that summons rain."
"It can summon rain?"
"Yeah it was developed in a country where it never rained. At first the people rejoiced. But then they discovered a terrible side effect. The countries upwind suffered. The powder creates artificial rain by stealing the moisture from even the smallest clouds." Nami said
"It stole rain that would've normally fallen on surrounding lands!" Usopp said
"That's right. When the neighboring countries realized what happened they attacked and many people lost their lives." Vivi said "After that the World Government banned the production and use of dance powder worldwide."
"That makes sense if the stuff is that dangerous." Sanji said
"After the incident that day the rumors spread like wildfire. It didn't take long for the people to put pieces together. It was around that time when it wasn't raining anywhere but in the capital."
"It's only natural that the people would suspect the king." Zoro said
"The king had no idea. A huge quantity of dance powder had been found inside the palace too. Crocodile had been behind it all. It went just as he planned. Drought ravaged the land. The anger of the people increased with their hunger. Ultimately a rebellion broke out. The people lost faith in the royal family, and the peace of the land was destroyed. He caused all of this misery. I will never forgive that man!"
"I've heard enough. Let's get moving. I'm ready to kick his ass."
Sometime later they were making their way through the desert.
"Damn it's hot out." Luffy said
"How big are some of these sand dunes?" Usopp asked
"Some of them are over one thousand feet high." Vivi said
"That's really high."
"Can we eat now?"
"No you idiot. Not until Vivi says so."
"We are only a fourth of the way to Yuba. When we get to the next crags we will stop and rest."
They continued to trek through the desert. A little while later they saw something in the distance.
"Hey, look over there." Usopp said. "Are those the crags you were talking about Vivi?"
"Yes they are."
Hearing that Luffy took off running for the only likely shade they would find for some time.
"That was a bad idea running in this heat but it was worth it." Luffy said as he looked around and saw some familiar looking birds. "Huh, there is something I should remember about those birds. What was it?" Luffy sat down in the shade as he tilted his head to the side thinking. "Oh, I remember now."
Luffy walked over to the birds he saw lying on the ground. "Man I am hungry. I could really go for some roast… hey what kind of birds are you?" Luffy asked the seemingly injured birds.
It was perfect timing. Luffy's stomach grumbled. The birds got up and ran away as if there was nothing wrong with them. Not long after the birds disappeared Vivi and the rest of the crew made their way to the crags.
"Well don't you look comfortable." Nami said looking at Luffy who was once again sitting in the shade.
"Can we eat now?"
"Yeah, I think now would be a good time." Vivi said
"You know, I saw some birds lying on the ground a few minutes ago. They looked injured but after they heard my stomach growl they got up and ran away."
"Luffy, those birds you saw were they white with long necks?"
"Actually, that's exactly what they looked like."
Vivi let out a sigh. "Thank goodness your stomach scared them away. If it wasn't already obvious, they were faking. That is what they do. They wait for people traveling through the desert to stop. Then they steal from unsuspecting people leaving them out in the desert with no supplies."
"Well, if nothing else we can thank Luffy's stomach for scaring them away before we all made it here to rest." Usopp said
Chopper got up from the sled they had built for him. There was nothing he could do. He was a reindeer; he wasn't made to handle this kind of heat. They sat around to enjoy they meal. Once they were done they heard a noise broke the silence of them cleaning up.
"What the hell is that sound?" Sanji asked
"Oh no. It's a giant Sandora dragon." Vivi said looking off into the distance.
"Is that a camel running away from it?" Zoro asked
"You ready guys?" Luffy asked Zoro and Sanji
They didn't say anything they just made their way over to the big lizard.
"Gomu Gomu no Muchi/ Tatsumaki/ Epaule Shoot"
The looks on Vivi and the camels face were priceless. Nami, Usopp and Chopper were smirking. They had seen the monster trio take on much bigger but this was still impressive.
"That thing never stood a chance." Nami said
"Let's eat it!" Luffy yelled
"Can we eat this thing Vivi?" Sanji asked
"…Huh…what, um. I think so. I've never seen anyone attack one let alone kill one so I'm not really sure."
"So, what is the deal with this camel?" Zoro asked
"He says he was just walking through the desert when that thing started chasing him. He wants to thank you for saving him. He is willing to give rides but only to women."
"Ungrateful bastard." Sanji said "Who do you think saved your ass?"
"Don't even think about beating on the poor camel you idiots." Nami said "Don't be jealous."
"But Nami-swan."
"Would you be willing to give me a ride?" Nami asked the camel.
The camel nodded and got down to allow Nami to get on.
"Now what's your name?" Nami asked the camel sweetly but just a few seconds later a name popped into her head. "I know, I'll call you Eyelashes." The camel nodded.
"Pervert." Sanji said
"That's funny coming from you." Zoro said
"Hop on Vivi." Nami said
"That's okay. I can walk."
"Come on Vivi. Maybe we'll reach Yuba a little faster now."
Some time passed as the crew continued on towards Yuba. They complained the whole way. Several more hours of walking later they made it Yuba. The town was only in sight for a few moments before something engulfed it.
"Oh no, look at that sandstorm." Vivi said
"It's huge." Sanji said
A little time passed and the sandstorm dissipated. Vivi was speechless at what she saw when she made her way into the once beautiful oasis. "The desert is swallowing Yuba!"
"Travelers?" An old man said not looking up from where he was digging. It looked like he was digging where a river once ran through the town. "You must be exhausted from your journey? I'm sorry but Yuba is all dried up. But you can stop here and rest for the night. The city has many inns and we are famous for our hospitality."
"Old man, we heard that the rebels were here."
The old man snapped when he heard the word rebels.
"What do you want with the rebels? You don't want to join them do you?" The old man said angrily as he started throwing what ever he could find at them.
"What the hell are you doing?"
He stopped throwing things. "Those fools left Yuba."
"What? That can't be. Where did they go?"
"That wasn't the first sandstorm to hit Yuba. Three years ago, the land began to dry up and the sands began to blow in. The desert has been at war with Yuba since. And little by little the oasis has been loosing ground." He said as he continued to dig. "When the city ran out of water the rebels abandoned it. Their base is in Katorea now."
"Katorea!?" Vivi said
"Where is that Vivi? Is it close by?"
"It's an oasis near Nanohana."
"NANOHANA!" They all yelled.
"What? We came all this way for nothing?"
"Wait a second? Did you just say Vivi?" He stopped digging and turned toward the princess who tried to deny it.
"Um, I'm…"
"Is it really you? Are you really princess Vivi?" He took a good look at the young girl before his eyes lit up. "You're alive. Thank goodness. I bet you don't recognize me do you? Well I guess I have lost a little weight."
Vivi thought for a moment before a memory of a much larger man passed through her mind "Toto Oji-san?" Vivi asked
"That's right."
"No!" Vivi said clearly surprised and shocked at the revelation. The once plump old man had lost so much weight. He was quite literally a fraction of his former self.
"Princess, I still believe in the king. He would never betray his people." Toto said as he put his hands on Vivi's shoulders. "Would he?"
Vivi shook her head
He let go of her shoulders as he dropped to the ground. "This rebellion is ridiculous. Those blasted rebels! Please you must stop them. Only you can save us now! So many times… I tried so many times. But it was hopeless. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't talk them out of this rebellion."
"I believe you." Vivi said
"The next battle will decide everything. They've been drive into a corner. They're ready to die fighting for what they believe in. Please, Princess Vivi…Stop those fools."
"Toto Oji-san. Please don't worry." Vivi said handing Toto a handkerchief.
"Vivi"
"I'm going to stop the rebellion."
"Tha…Thank you." Toto said very grateful. "Okay, let me show you where you all can stay for the night." He said as he got up and walked towards an inn.
"Thank you." They all said.
"Now please follow me." The crew followed Toto to one of the inns nearby that wasn't completely covered in sand. Toto opened the door and let them all walk in. "This should work for the night."
"This is perfect. Thank you Toto oji-san."
"I'm sure you're tired after walking through the desert. I will leave you be and let you get some rest, good night everyone." Toto left them to get some rest before the started out in the morning.
With Toto gone everyone picked a bed.
"Why don't we all go to bed and rest up for tomorrow." Usopp said
"You've been sleeping all day." Zoro said
"What do you want from me? I collapsed from exhaustion. I'm only human! I'm not a monster like you!" Usopp said annoyed as he tossed a pillow at Zoro.
Inevitably a pillow fight broke out. Eventually everyone fell asleep after tiring themselves out. Everyone except for Luffy that is, He was outside talking to Toto.
"Is there really water under all that sand?"
"There sure is water still here. The Yuba oasis is still alive. Yuba will never surrender to the sands. I'll dig for as long as it takes. The king himself entrusted this place to me."
"Well then." Luffy said before he jumped into the former waterway. "All right! Let's dig."
This time Luffy didn't toss sand back into the hole Toto was digging. He managed to dig out a considerable amount of sand before he fell asleep in said hole. Toto pulled him out of the hole and brought to the inn where the rest of the crew was sleeping.
The next morning at the Rain Dinners Casino the officer agents had gathered to meet their boss in person for the first time.
"How long must we wait?" Mr. 2 said while he continued to spin.
"Quiet, you fool! Your jabbering makes my back hurt!" Ms. Merry Christmas said
"I guess it was too much to expect you all to get along. Not that you need to…"
"Oh, Ms. All Sunday, how deux you do?"
"I know it was a long trip. But I'm glad you all made it. It's wonderful to see your faces."
"Where are we Ms. All Sunday?" Mr. 1 asked
"Bunchi brought you here. But I am sure you've all heard of this place. People come here to get rich quick. This is Rainbase, the city of dreams. The building we're in right now towers over the rest of the center of Rainbase. It's the city's biggest casino. You're in Rain Dinners right now. Now if there are no more questions we'll get down to business."
"Please do! Just start!" Ms. Merry Christmas said
"But first allow me to introduce someone whose face you've never seen. The President of Baroque Works."
"The time has come. Operation Utopia. Baroque Works' ultimate plan." The voice said as the chair turned around to reveal a certain Shichibukai.
There was a resounding what that swept across the room. Along with their own comments to the person who had been pulling their strings the entire time.
"Sir Crocodile, one of the Oka Shichibukai?" Ms. Doublefinger said
"Disappointed?"
"No. Not disappointed, just confused. Why would you create an organization like this?"
"I'm not interested in money or status, I want military might."
"Military might?" Mr. 2 asked
Crocodile went over his plan and told the Officer Agents present about the ancient weapon Pluton and what he planned to do with it once he found it.
"The time has come for Alabasta to disappear."
The agents were given pieces of paper. Once they read them they were burnt per regular orders.
"This is Baroque Works' ultimate plan. Failure is not an option. We begin at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Right." They all said
"I pray for your success."
The meeting was about to adjourn when someone walked in. "Can you wait a minute? Operation Utopia?" Mr. 3 said as he walked in through the doors at the top of the stairs.
"Mr. 3! How did you get into this secret underground base?" Ms. All Sunday asked
"Mr. 3! How did you sneak up on us? I was instructed to get rid of you!" Mr. 2 said
"Wait, Mr. 2!" Crocodile said
"I didn't sneak up on anybody. I just hitched a ride on Bunchi and followed you here from Spiders café. That aside Boss, I've come to ask you to give me another chance since I wasn't able to complete my mission. It was only natural that Mr. 2 would be sent after me. So I changed course and headed for the rendezvous point instead."
"What are you talking about? You weren't able to complete your mission?"
"The Straw Hat crew and Princess Vivi got away."
"They got away! You mean they're still alive?" Crocodile was very clearly furious hearing this revelation. "Didn't you tell me on the Den Den mushi that you took care of those pirates and princess Vivi?" Crocodile asked clearly still very annoyed and agitated.
"I never used the Den Den mushi on Little Garden."
Crocodile had to sit down to think for a moment. "So that's why the unluckies never returned."
"At least you got rid of a couple of them… didn't you?"
"Well…No. But the information was wrong. There were four pirates, not three."
"Why, you…"
"Zero-chan, what's all this about? I don't understand what's going on!" Mr. 2 said
Ms. All Sunday pulled out the photo of Vivi and the sketches of Nami, Luffy and Zoro and handed them to Mr. 2 to look at.
"While I was on my way here I met these pirates." Mr. 2 proceeded to use his powers to change into the pirates he touched on the way to look for Mr. 3. "So you're telling me they are our enemies and Ms. Wednesday is Princess Vivi?"
"Yes, they know my identity. They must be dealt with before they can interfere in our plans."
"So you were correct Mr. 3, there's one more pirate than previously reported. Plus Princess Vivi and minus the pet makes five people who we must assume are already here in Alabasta somewhere. Mr. 2 take pictures of those faces."
"But Boss! I can deal with those five and Vivi."
"Obviously you can't because they wouldn't be here now if you could." Crocodile said as he walked over Mr. 3. He picked him up by the neck and started sucking the moisture out of his body. "I gave you the position of Mr. 3 not because you were strong but because what you lacked in strength you made up for in ruthlessness. There's nothing more pathetic than someone who fails at a crucial moment."
Crocodile put him down after absorbing most of the water out of his body. He walked over to the table and pushed a button. That button opened a trap door and Mr. 3 fell through it. Crocodile proceeded to tap on the glass. "Time to eat." He said. A bananagator swam into the huge glass tube through a metal pipe and proceeded to swallow Mr. 3.
"Burn those faces into your memory. They want to stop the rebellion. They will be coming no matter what. We can't allow Vivi and Kohza the leader of the rebellion to meet. Ms. All Sunday."
"Yes."
"Contact the Billions in Nanohana. Order them to find and eliminate those pirates immediately. Vivi must not make it to Katorea."
"As you wish."
"Now go, all of you. You'll be late for the party. It's the eve of our Utopia. Nothing must stop us now that we are so close."
"Leave it to us, Boss."
"Have fun."
In the former Oasis of Yuba, the same morning as Crocodiles meeting.
"Here Luffy. Take this with you?"
"Thank you."
"I was able to get some water out of the damp sand you hit before you fell asleep."
They said their goodbyes and started to walk away.
A little while later Luffy just sat down "I quit. We need to rethink our plan before we go anywhere." Luffy said sitting down in the desert.
"What are you talking about Luffy?" Vivi asked
"I mean we aren't going to go to Katorea. We're pirates. It would be better if we avoided that city all together. We can't stop the rebels. We can't stop a million people who are itching to fight. Vivi, you expect everybody to live? That's naïve."
"What's so wrong with not wanting anyone to die? Why should they die?
"People Die." Luffy said and Vivi slapped him.
"Don't say things like that. Say that again and you'll be sorry. I'm trying to prevent blood shed. I'm trying to save the Rebels and the Royal Army. No one is to blame. None of this is their fault. It's all Crocodile's fault."
"But yet you're risking your own life! You can't do it all by yourself."
"I have to. I don't care what it costs me."
"Then let us help you! We're here. We're your friends aren't we?"
Vivi broke down and started crying.
"Tears, even princesses cry."
Vivi didn't say anything. She just nodded.
"You want to kick his ass more than anyone, don't you?"
Again Vivi nodded.
"All right guys. We know what we need to do. We are going to take this fight to Crocodile."
Back to the future Straw Hats (Beware of LEMONS)
While the Straw Hats were making their way out of the cave Luffy and Nami were talking and started to get intimate.
"You idiot, I was so worried about you. I was scared I would never see you again."
"I'm sorry Nami. I'm sorry I didn't say anything."
"That doesn't matter anymore. Yes, I am mad at you but you're back and that is all that matters now."
"I'm sorry to make you worry. I promise I won't do anything that crazy again."
"Yes, yes you will. Don't try and lie to yourself you suck at it, you will always do something that crazy. You will probably never do something that involves time travel again but you will always act on whatever crazy whim pops into your head. I wouldn't expect you to do anything different. I love that about you. I love you and what finally got me to realize that was the thought of never seeing you again."
Luffy hesitated for a moment hearing that. "You know, while I was in the past…was I in the past?" Luffy thought aloud. "Doesn't matter. While I was in the past there were a few things that kept me going aside. One was getting to see Ace alive again. The second was that I would get to see all of my friends again. Finally there was you. I thought about you every night. I couldn't help but feel terrible about what I forced you to live through again. I couldn't stop thinking about the day I would get to see you again. So when I did see you again I couldn't help myself. I reached out and grabbed you."
"You mean like this?" Nami said grabbing Luffy's hand and placing it on her breast.
"Nami, what are you doing?"
"Well you said you couldn't stop thinking about me. And after hearing what you just told me it seems like we both have feelings for each other. And no they aren't the feelings you have for the rest of the crew. Those are different than these feelings. These are feelings that only we will have for each other and no one else."
"I get it. When Makino was talking to Ace about those sorts of feelings I understood what she was talking about. I thought about it for a while and the only person I could ever associate those feelings with was you."
"Well that seems obvious. I moved my hand a while ago but your hand is still where I put it."
It was then that Luffy realized he still had his hand on Nami's breast. "Sorry Nami" Luffy squeaked out before he moved his hand.
"No, it's fine. You can do that. But I am the only person you can do that to. Unless we decide we want to try something a little more, naughty."
"What are you talking about?"
"Forget it and don't worry about the possibilities of the future. Only worry about what is in front of you right now."
"Ok, I can do that."
"Good now close your eyes."
"Why wou…" Nami just put a finger against Luffy's lips and he stopped talking.
"Just do what I say, ok." Luffy nodded. "Now close your eyes."
Once more Luffy nodded and closed his eyes. Nami lifted up the back of her shirt and unbuckled the clasps holding her bra together. She moved her hands to remove the straps from her shoulders. She let the straps fall so now the only thing holding her bra on was her shirt. But the bra didn't stay for long. She pulled the front of her shirt forward so that the cups would fall off of her breasts. With her bra off she tossed it to the side and started talking again.
"Okay Luffy, I am going to move your arms so don't resist."
Luffy nodded again.
"You know you can talk. I only want you to keep your eyes closed."
"Okay, so what are you doing now?"
"Hold on one second." Nami grabbed the backs of Luffy's hands and put both of his hands on her breasts.
"You put my hands on your breasts again but it feels… different this time. It feels like something is missing."
"Bingo. I took my bra off. So now the only thing separating your hands from my breasts is a thin piece of fabric."
"No, well it's not just that. I can feel something in the middle of your breasts."
"Yeah, those are my nipples."
"I know but why are they stiff?"
"They get like that when I'm aroused. Try giving them a squeeze and see what happens."
So Luffy did as he was told and squeezed Nami nipples. Out of Nami's mouth came a sound Luffy had never heard before. It wasn't exactly a mystery noise as he knew where it came from but he didn't understand why it was happening.
"Oh, that feels good." Nami said
"Really, that feels good. It doesn't just hurt?"
"No it doesn't hurt. I don't want to explain it to you so let's move on." Nami said "Move your hands away for a few seconds."
Luffy took his hands off of Nami's chest and waited. While he was sitting there Nami took off her shirt. So now there was nothing left between them.
"Okay I'm going to move your hands again."
Luffy didn't say anything he was just curious to see or in this case feel what was next. He didn't have to wait long. Nami moved his hands and put them under her breasts.
"They are big, warm and so heavy."
"Yes they are but they are so nice to have. I'm going to do something to you now. You trust me don't you?"
"Of course."
"Good because things might start moving fast from here."
Nami reached down and unzipped the fly to his shorts. She put her hand inside his shorts and grabbed hold of Luffy's penis. It was only once she pulled it out of his shorts did she realize that it was actually kind of impressive even flaccid. Nami started stroking Luffy's penis. Not enough for release but enough to get him hard so she could do something with him involving her breasts.
"What do you think so far?"
"It feels weird but at the same time it feels so good. I didn't know you could do this. I have never even thought of trying this."
"Well that's because you don't know what happens at the end."
"What happens at the end?"
"Oh you will know. It will be like something you have never felt before."
"Alright Nami, I believe you." Nami stopped stroking his penis up and down. She tapped on his shoulder and whispered into his ear. He stood up and she guided him to a place where he could sit down. Once in a seat she began talking again.
"You know how you said that my breasts were so big."
"Yeah, I remember."
"Well if they weren't as big as they are I wouldn't be able to do this." Nami put one hand on each breast. She moved them so that she could envelop Luffy's penis up in between her large breasts.
"Now open your eyes."
When Luffy opened his eyes he was surprised to see what Nami was doing with his penis.
"Are you ready to experience that feeling I told you about?"
"Yeah." Luffy said. This was the first time since this started that he had been able to look at her. It was then that he noticed how red her face actually was.
She started rubbing her breasts up and down on Luffy's penis. She started out going slow and gradually picking up some speed. She wasn't going to tell Luffy that this was the first time she had ever done this. She leaned forward and stuck her tongue out and started licking the head of his penis. It must have felt strange as Luffy jumped a little when he felt her tongue touch his penis. She kept rubbing his penis with her bare breasts. She tried leaning forward just a little more. She was surprised when she was actually able to get Luffy in her mouth. She didn't think she would have been able to do that.
Instead of thinking about it anymore she kept going. She continued moving her breasts up and down along Luffy's shaft. On top of that she had started using her tongue to lick the part of his penis that wasn't surrounded by her breasts. Eventually Luffy felt a strange feeling. It felt like a pressure was building up in his penis. After just a little more stimulation from Nami, Luffy exploded in her mouth. Nami wasn't really expecting it and wasn't ready for it. So she was only able to swallow a little. The rest of it fell out onto and between her breasts.
Nami looked up at Luffy with a pout "Next time warn me when you are about to do that." Nami said a little annoyed.
"Sorry, I wasn't sure what to say."
"Only when you have that feeling again say, I'm gonna cum."
Luffy didn't say anything. He just nodded as if he was taking a mental note of what to say.
"You were right, that did feel strange."
"But did it feel good?"
"I don't know, I think so. I mean it seems like you got it to do what you wanted. But no one has ever done that for me before. I have nothing to compare it to."
"Well, I guess we will have to do that again some more so I can practice." Nami said with a sultry smile.
"Okay, now let me do that to you."
"What?" Nami said
"I want to make you feel good too. I probably won't be any good at it but I want to try." Now Nami was embarrassed. She had flashed everyone before but she was pretty sure they could barely only see more than a silhouette in the steam of the bath house in Alubarna. This time she would be completely bare. There would be no steam to protect her.
Nami took a deep breath and exhaled through her nose before started talking. "Okay, I will let you try doing that to me. I mean if we are going to be going beyond this I am going to have to get naked anyway. So now would be as good a time as any."
"What is after this?" Luffy asked innocently.
Nami was kind of shocked. "You mean Makino didn't tell you about this?"
"Nope, she told me I was too young to be talking about stuff like this. So I went to do something else while she talked to Ace about it. When he came back his face was all red like yours is now. He didn't say anything and I didn't ask. Some time passed and I forgot all about that."
"Wow, wow oh wow." Nami said. But she shouldn't be surprised. That was just how he was for, well pretty much as long as she has known him. "Well I'm not going to tell you anything. Just tell me what you think once it is done."
"Once what is done?"
"Just wait and see. I'm sure we'll both enjoy it. Now close your eyes."
"Why?"
"Because, I said so that's why!"
"Alright, but next time I am keeping my eyes open." Luffy said sticking his tongue out at Nami.
Nami didn't say anything she just waved him off. It wasn't so much the fact that she was embarrassed to show her body. It's the idea of having someone watch her while she took her clothes off that really embarrassed her. She wanted to wait until she was better at it to do a sexy strip tease for Luffy. There would be nothing close to sexy about this. But at the same time Luffy wouldn't know the difference either way. So while all these thoughts were floating around in her head she had taken the rest of her clothes off. They were off to the side sitting in a pile.
"Okay Luffy, you can open your eyes now." Nami said. She had put her arms under her breasts in a way that would make them look bigger. She wanted to cover herself but she resisted as Luffy's penis was still hanging out of his shorts.
When Luffy looked at the completely naked woman before him, well he was speechless. He had only seen two women naked before. One was Nami and he really couldn't see anything back then. The other was Boa Hancock. He saw all of her but couldn't appreciate the sight that was before him. In the end his simple mindedness saved his life. But now all that he could think about was Nami. He looked at her up and down, from head to toe.
As far as he knew, what he saw before him was perfection. The way her hair framed her face. The way her breasts looked when they were lifted up just a bit, her hourglass frame, her large chest, skinny waist & wide hips. All the way down to the small, perfectly trimmed tuft of hair just above, well he didn't know what to call that part of the female body. Her thighs were just big enough to go well with her wide hips and her legs looked long even for her frame.
"Could you stop staring?" Nami asked
"Sorry…I couldn't help myself. You look amazing."
"Damn it."
"What, did I do something wrong?"
"No, nothing like that. I almost wanted you to not complement me this just makes me want to skip over this next part and go straight to the finale."
"Well if the finale is as good as you say it is I want to hold off just a little longer."
"Alright, we will wait just a little longer." Nami said kind of disappointed. But she slapped her cheeks and focused herself. "Okay, we have three more things to take care of before we get to the finale."
"What are they?"
"One, you need to get naked. Two, we need find somewhere for me to sit. I can't sit on that pile of metal. And finally Three, you have to make me cum by licking my pussy." 'Oh I can't believe I just said that.' Nami thought to herself as the blush on her face grew.
'So that's what it's called.' Luffy thought making another mental note. "Well if I have to be naked, then I will be naked." Luffy said as he took off his shirt, he wasted no time in untying the yellow sash from around his waist. Finally he unbuttoned his shorts and let them fall to the ground. Now both Nami and Luffy were completely naked aside from their shoes. Luffy still had his Straw hat around his neck.
Luffy looked around and a saw a treasure chest. He went over and grabbed the wooden box, which not surprisingly enough was actually pretty heavy.
"Will this be ok Nami?"
"Yeah…that…should be fine."
'How can he walk around with it all just hanging out there? Well I guess I am the only other person down here and come to think of it I'm just as naked as he is.' Nami again was thinking things as she walked towards the wood and metal box. She tried to position her self so she could avoid as much metal as possible. But she sat directly on a piece of metal. She jumped a little when the cold metal touched her bare ass.
"You alright?"
"Yeah, I am good. The box is a little cold." Nami said but she quickly got used to the cold and once she did she spread her legs. "Come over here Luffy and kneel down."
Luffy walked over to her and knelt down. Soon all he saw in front of him was Nami's pink pussy. He leaned forward and started licking her. He was just as clumsy at it as she was when she first tried doing this to him. He kept licking. He moved all over, trying to lick every little bit. During his searching he discovered a little button that had been hidden beneath other pink folds. When he licked that he got another reaction similar to when he pinched Nami's nipples. So he kept going. He licked up and down Nami's pussy. But his focus would always go back to the little button. No matter how much he licked Nami he couldn't quite get the same reaction out of her as he did when he licked the little button. So he continued licking there.
Then a bright idea popped into his head. He moved his head and went back to licking her up and down. He gently placed his thumb and index finger on the button. While he was doing that he stumbled across a small hole. So while he lightly twisted the button, he stuck his tongue inside her. He moved it around inside of her and pulled it back out. As Nami felt like she was about to cum she grabbed his hair with one hand, arched her back, twisted her nipple with the other and curled her toes as she let the wave of pleasure pass through her. Luffy had been hoping this would happen. Instead of shying away from a challenge he went headfirst and tried to drink all of the fluid that came from Nami. He did a better job than she did. When he looked up at her she saw him licking his lips. 'He just licked his lips clean after drinking all of my love juices. If I wasn't already I must be as red as his shirt.'
Nami couldn't say anything. She could barely look at him, she was so nervous. She had been nervous when this all started but this was way beyond that now. She was about to give away her virginity. 'At least he is a virgin as well.' She thought.
Nami took one last breath before speaking. "Now, it's time for the finale." Nami said. "Lay down." Luffy did as he was told and laid down on the ground. When he looked up at Nami, her nervous expression was gone. It had been replaced with one of solid determination mixed with well, quite a bit of something else. He would soon learn the word, but the expression on Nami's face was one of a very horny woman who was looking to ride Luffy for who knows how long. Their love making session, would likely end when one or both of them passed out.
"We made it to the finale." Nami said
"What do we do now?"
"Now you stick that.' Nami said pointing to Luffy's penis. "In here." Nami said pointing to her glistening vagina.
"Who would've figured you were better at giving oral sex."
'So that's what that's called.' Luffy thought to himself.
Nami kneeled down and started stroking Luffy's penis to get him hard again. It didn't take that much considering the beauty he was looking at. Her cheeks were still red, her nipples still standing up and he saw that Nami's vagina still was wet. Luffy may have been an as dense as a pile of bricks but something understood what was going to happen. While Nami was stroking him, he was growing on his own. With their combined effort Luffy was completely erect. She stopped stroking him. She put her legs on either side of Luffy and inched forward so that her vagina was hovering above Luffy's erect penis.
"Ready?" she asked
"Yeah"
Nami positioned his penis below her entrance. She slowly lowered herself down onto him. It didn't take much for the head of his penis to make its way into her vagina. But before they could get too far she stopped. Luffy could feel something pushing back against the head of his penis.
"Luffy, there is going to be some blood and I am going to be in some pain when you first stick it inside."
"Nami..." One more time Nami put a finger to his lips silencing him. "Don't worry. I want this. I want you to be my first time. I hope I will be your first as well."
Luffy nodded. He understood.
"Good. Now you are going to push through and rip my hymen. After that give me a few minutes for the pain to subside. Once the pain goes away well… I don't think you are going to want to stop."
"If this is what you want." Luffy said before he grabbed onto her hips, pushed himself through and ripped open Nami's hymen. As she said there was going to be some blood, and there was. Nami was in pain but Luffy remained motionless for a few minutes.
"I'm gonna start." Nami said. She started bouncing up and down on Luffy's penis. 'This feels incredible.' Nami thought as she was gyrating her hips in different directions to see what felt better. 'To think I would've missed out on this had Luffy not come back.'
At that point tears started to fall from the corners of Nami's eyes. Luffy could very easily see that Nami started to cry from his where he was positioned.
"Don't cry."
"They're tears of joy, idiot. I'm so happy that I get to do this with you. I couldn't imagine giving my first time to anyone but you." Nami said as she gyrated her hips forward and back with her hands on his chest for support.
"If it makes you feel better I'm glad I'm giving you my first time."
"Much. Now shut up and let me make you cum."
Nami continued bouncing up and down using her legs to propel herself upwards. She rocked her hips side to side, front and back and in circles. She alternated going around clockwise and counterclockwise. Once she got into a rhythm while she had been bouncing on Luffy's penis she moved her hands and started rubbing herself. She was furiously rubbing her clit in all directions. At one point she even started squeezing her own nipple. "I'm gonna cum." Luffy said as he released everything inside of her. The feeling of his hot semen fill her up combined with her own efforts made her cum. Even after they both came Nami continued bouncing up and down.
Eventually Nami stopped for a second to catch her breath. In that brief moment Luffy decided on something as he stood up, wrapping his arms around Nami's legs, and walked over to something sturdy. Not sure as to what was going to happen next Nami wrapped her arms around his neck so she wouldn't fall. Once her back was up against a solid object Luffy asked her a question.
"Do you trust me?" He asked
Nami nodded and he began thrusting his hips. The speed he was thrusting his hips was well beyond the pace Nami had set. As he continued to thrust, all Nami could feel was happiness and pleasure as her mind started to fade a little. The man she loved was making love to her. He kept a fast pace as he continued thrusting. Nami had done all the work while he was lying down. Now it was his turn to make sure he did his part. As he was thrusting into her, he made her scream his name as loud as she could. The sound traveled through the cave and out into the open for the world or at least their crew to hear. They both came a few more times before they stopped. Luffy pulled out, released his grasp on Nami and eased her to the ground and leaned her up against a wall. Luffy walked around to find something they could rest on. He turned his head to the right and saw a fully made king sized bed surrounded by large piles of gold.
"You pervert." Luffy said "Did you watch us the whole time?" Luffy shook his head.
Luffy walked back over to Nami, picked her up and carried her to the bed. He quickly covered her up then he covered himself. He turned on his right side and pulled her close to him. Luffy would learn that this was called spooning. He would also learn that he loved doing this. It wasn't long before he fell asleep with his beautiful, sweaty partner cuddled up in front of him.
A little while ago. Back outside the cave.
"Damn it." Zoro said
"I can't believe Nami-san's voice would carry that far." Robin said
"We are going to have to grab even more gold to pay for all the extras we are going to need for their room." Franky said
The rest of the crew nodded. Everyone except for Sanji that is, who was crying.
"You better not hurt her you rubber bastard."
SeanHicks4: Thanks. The time travel mechanics are wonky. I thought it might be fun having them watch themselves. But it does get repetitive. What changes do you like? What don't you like?
TheHeartsPath: How was that?
Partsu: Fixed and Fixed.
sachin6291: While that is true it seems like many fruits allow for some type of flight. I think I was referencing the time when Pell mentioned that their were only 5 devil fruits that allow flight.
