Chapter 2

When Harry got home, he immediately ran up to his room to get away from his fuming uncle. As he sat down on his bed, he thought about what he learned.

'I need to find a way to contact Apollo, and figure out if he can take care of the Potter family until I learn everything I need to as Head. I wonder where he's been all this time and why no one told me I have family still.' He looked over at the book laying on his bed. 'Speaking of family, I guess I should read up on the members in the other world. Maybe that will help me decide if I really want to go over there. Casper did say that the book would come to me if I needed freedom. So hopefully that's why and not that they family is in trouble.'

He grabbed the book and sat on his bed opening the book to the family section to see what he could learn about his family in the other world. According to what the book said, most people think his family is a myth, as the World Government destroyed all records of the era that Casper lived in. Harry could understand the need to try and forget the era, as if he could do the same with the Dementors, he would. What he didn't like was the fact that the Government was ignoring a lot of the laws and rules that were put into place so that everyone had a chance to live in peace without war. He also didn't like the fact that these so-called Celestial Dragons, were calling themselves descendants of the Potter Family, when they weren't related to him or an of the Potters. They even ordered the execution of Roger. Harry was sad to note that he would have died anyways, but it was still a black mark against the dragons.

'Looks like I should go just to fix the problems and get rid of these so-called dragons. I will not tolerate anyone claiming to be from the family.' Harry put the book down and started to pace in his room to try and get rid of some of the anger that he had at the other world's Government. When he finally calmed down, he opened the book back up.

"Let's not worry about that right now, and just worry about reading the info the book has about the family that I do have there. Right Hedwig?" Hedwig hooted from her place on Harry's desk as if to agree. "Well I have a list of members that are still alive, so I will look at them first. Though it looks like someone did the family ritual I read about to bring someone into the family within the last 10 years in that world. According to the paper I got from Gringotts the youngest of the still alive members blood related, are Luffy and Ace. They are also the ones that did the ritual to bring Sabo into the family. Isn't that interesting?" Hedwig hooted and flew over to Harry's shoulder as if to read the book with him.

As they read about the history of the three boys, Harry was happy to know that Luffy was about to meet Shanks early in his life, but was appalled with how Garp treated all three boys. He was also appalled to know that Garp left Ace and Luffy to be raised by bandits. He read as Ace and Sabo grew up together in the forest, and eventually added Luffy to their group. He laughed at some of the adventures that he read about. He almost threw the book in anger when he read how a Celestial Dragon ordered for his ship to fire and kill Sabo when their ships crossed paths. He was thankful that Dragon was in the area and was able to save him before he died. They read in silence about how Ace and Luffy grew after the "death" of their brother. He laughed when he read about the note that Ace left their foster mother, claiming her as someone he loved. He smiled as he read about how Ace and Shanks met, though he was sad they didn't know they were uncle and nephew. He wanted to smack Ace upside the head when he challenged Whitebeard to a fight and ended up fighting for 5 days straight with the fish man Jimbe. He wanted to smack him again when he read about how Ace constantly tried to kill Whitebeard day after day, but was happy when he finally accepted his place in the crew. He grew in anger when he read about the death of Thatch, and the name of Teach rang a bell in his head. He looked back through some of the things that he read the day before, and found where he had read that name before. Teach was the last living descendant of Arcus Peverell, who was the cause of death for Sebastian Potter. He turned back to the pages about Ace, hoping that nothing was wrong, as that family had declared they would kill off the Potter Line. He closed his eyes in sadness as he read how Teach had captured Ace and handed him over to the Marines. He grew in anger once again when he read about how Ace was going to be executed instead of imprisoned like he should have been.

"Harry calm down. Maybe there is a reason for this like Roger. He might have an illness that I missed while reading." Harry quickly reread everything about Ace trying to find a reason to why Ace was to be executed other than the fact that he was a pirate and Roger's son. He grew angry when he couldn't find one.

"Hedwig, I need you to deliver a letter for me as fast as you can then come right back here. If I'm not here, find my cousin and stay with him till I come back. Got it?" Hedwig hooted and nudged Harry with her beak. Harry quickly wrote down a letter asking Hogfang to allow Harry to communicate with him when he was in the other world. He ripped out a blank page from the financial pages in the Potter book so that Hogfang would have a way to make more of the papers.

After Hedwig took off, he wrote another letter to Apollo explaining why Hedwig was there and if he would take care of her until he returned. He put the letter on his desk by the window, and started to pack his stuff into the trunk that had arrived with the book so that he could go through it when he returned. After he was sure that he had everything he might need, he looked in the book to see if he could shrink it. According to the book, it would shrink and turn into a necklace. He then looked for the directions on how to get to the other world. Apparently, all he had to do, was put a drop of blood onto the ring and tell it to transport him to the location that he needed, or the person he needed to get to. He quickly ran downstairs to grab his wand and broomstick from the cupboard under the stairs in case he needed them. He threw the book and items into the trunk as well and had it shrink. He put it around his neck running back up the stairs to his room.

"BOY WHAT IS THAT RACKET? YOU BETTER NOT BE DOING ANY FREAKY STUFF UP
THERE!" Vernon yelled. Harry quickly looked around the room to make sure he had everything he would need as he could hear his uncle stomping up the stairs. He quickly pricked his thumb and allowed a drop of blood to touch the ring as his bedroom door was burst open.
"Take me to Portages D. Ace!" The world started to spin, and Harry could recognize the feeling of a portkey. Suddenly the spinning stopped, and it felt like he was being dragged through a tunnel made of fire. He could feel his body burning, especially his head, but as soon as the burning started, it stopped. He could then feel a slight breeze as if he was standing on a boat in the middle of the ocean, though he didn't know if that was true or not, as he could hear fighting all around him. He opened his eyes, though he didn't know when he closed them, and looked around him. He saw that he was on top of a wooden plat form on an island with a symbol of a blue bird. On top of the wooden platform, with his back to him and arms in chains, was Ace. There were two other people on the platform with their backs to him.
'Looks like there haven't noticed me yet. Hmm, the one sitting down kind of looks like how the book described Garp. Wonder who the other is though.' Harry looked past them, to the battlefield where he could see a lot of colorful people fighting people dressed in white.

"LUFFY!" Harry turned towards where Ace was looking, and saw that it was a boy in a yellow vest and a straw hat running towards them. 'That must be Luffy'

"Stay away Luffy! I know you know it. Were both Pirates. We both sailed on the sea as we liked. I have my own adventures. I have my own friends. I want to you to keep your hands off them! A wimp like you wants to save me?! You think I'll allow you to do that? It's so humiliating. Go back Luffy! Why did you come here? I beg you Luffy. I don't want you to share my fate. This is all my fault." Harry frowned as he watched Ace put his head to the platform and cried. His head shot back up when he heard Luffy yell.

"I'm your brother! I don't give a damn about the rules of pirates." Harry smiled and decided then was a good time to intervene. He subconsciously made his voice loud.

"Very well said Luffy." The three-people spun their heads around to look at him so fast that it looked like they could have snapped their necks. "I guess I should introduce myself before any of you idiots decide to attack me. My name is Lord Harry Potter." The guy with the afro frowned.

"Prove it." Harry sighed and took out his wand. He pointed his wand at the two men knocked out on the platform.

"Wingardium Leviosa" they were lifted up and he moved them off the platform. "That good enough?" He looked over at Afro guy questionably. The guy nodded.

"Good. Now let me explain why I am here." Harry looked around sadly at the damage that was made to the island in the fighting. "I am here because you idiots are trying to kill a member of the Potter family and go against the treaty that you people made with us 400 years ago.

"Which of these pirates have attacked the Celestial Dragons? We will make sure that they are dealt with quickly." Harry looked at Afro guy in disgust.

"Those people are not members of the Potter clan. I don't know why you people think they are, but your wrong. I am talking about Portagas D. Ace. He is a Potter through both his mother and his father. You people are very lucky that his father was already dying when you killed him, or I would have the right to kill you all where you stand. You are also lucky that Rouge died in childbirth. The only reason that I'm overlooking why she had to carry Ace for 20 months is the fact of it was her choice. Now this execution is over! You have no right to kill Ace unless you want the death of every single Marine here. I do not care about the other pirates, but you will let Portagas D. Ace and Monkey D. Luffy leave without a fight."

"You may have Ace, but Luffy is still a criminal. They are not related by blood, so the boy is not a Potter." Harry looked at him like he was an idiot.

"You're an idiot. You obviously don't know bloodlines as well as you think you do. Luffy is Ace's cousin on his father's side. He is a Potter through his father! If you don't believe me why don't you ask your Vice Admiral here about his sons. Yes, I said sons as in plural." Garp looked like he had swallowed a lemon.

"Garp what is he talking about? Answer now!"

"Before I was married and had Dragon, I had a son with a woman in a bar. I didn't know about the boy until much later when I brought him in for his execution. He had taken his mother's name not mine." Garp looked down as if speaking about this hurt him.

"That man's name was Gol D. Roger. A man you killed. So, you will let me leave here with both Ace and Luffy, and you will do so without trying to stop us. Is that clear?" Harry glared at the Marines in front of him. Afro guy nodded.

"Very well you may leave, but the rest of the pirates are still to die here." Harry nodded. At his nod, Afro guy and ordered for Ace to be free and handed over to Harry. Ace looked like he wanted to yell at Harry when he was handed over, but Harry shook his head quickly.

"Don't worry, I have a plan to get your crew out of here without a problem, but you need to be quiet and work with me for a second." Harry whispered. Ace looked like he wanted to argue, but thought better of it. Harry looked back at Afro guy when he spoke up.

"My name is Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I would like to speak with you as soon as possible to get the names of the true Potter's and to find out if you have any plans for the Dragons. I am sorry that this had to happen for you to come here. I sincerely apologize on behalf of the Marines and welcome you to use one of our ships to use to leave." Harry nodded.

"We shall speak in a few days when this war of yours is over. Though I can give you the names of my family here and now. I just ask that if they have a bounty, it is changed to say captured only as was in the treaty you made with us."

"Very well, what are they?" Harry smirked, and Sengoku got the feeling he wouldn't like what he was about to here.

"Besides the obvious Ace, Luffy, Garp, and Dragon, there is also Nico Robin, Shanks, Trafalgar D. Water Law, and Outlook Sabo. They are the last members of my family, so if anything happens to there, I will come after the killers with the vengeance of the Potter family." Sengoku looked like he swallowed a sour lemon at the names.

"Does this mean that the Outlook family in the Goa Kingdom are Potters?" Garp looked at him questionably.

"No. Just Sabo as he was adopted into the family but a family ritual. That is all I will say on the matter. Now I do believe that it is time to leave. Ace would you like to do the honors?" Ace looked like he caught the cat and smirked.

"Of course." He took a large breath, and as loud as he could, yelled "ALL WHITEBEARD PIRATES RUN TO YOUR SHIPS! WE ARE LEAVING!" Harry laughed and started running towards the large group of pirates with Ace laughing with him. They were eventually joined by a smiling Luffy. As they went, they were joined by more and more pirates as they ran as quickly as they could to the ships. As Potter Luck works though, Luffy tripped and was left behind. Harry looked behind him to see what happened when he heard Luffy curse. He looked like he was having trouble standing up. Harry looked over at Ace.

"Ace keep running, I will get him!"

"I will help him as well. Your safety is all that matters right now so go!" A man in a purple shirt yelled at Ace. Ace looked pained but nodded and ran.

Harry ran back to Luffy and was in the process of lifting him up to help him stand when he felt heat on his back. He turned around to see a man with a red Hawaiian shirt and a marine jacket.

"You are not going anywhere. You are all just filthy pirates that think your above Justice. I shall end your pathetic lives here and now." He turned his arm into lava and held it back before moving it forward in a punch that was intercepted by the guy in the purple jacket. He had turned his arms into giant blue fire wings.

"Can you hold him off for a few minutes? I'll be able to take care of him then." The man looked back at Harry and nodded.

"Just hurry. I'm Marco by the way." Harry nodded and put Luffy down. He took his trunk off his neck and made it back to normal size. As fast as he could, he looked for the Potter book. When he found it, he looked for a spell that he saw that dealt with the devil fruits.

"Got it! Marco move out of the way in three seconds." Marco nodded and moved. Harry turned to the admiral. Holding his hand up. He began to chant a spell he read in the book. A gold thread erupted from his hand, hitting the admiral in the chest. Harry turned his hand palm up as the thread seemed to grow larger, pulling something from him. The golden thread slowly became a ball in Harry's Hand.

"I have taken back the gift stolen. The curse of the sea will remain," Harry, as the last of the thread joined the golden thread in hand. The light vanished to show a devil fruit. He grew angry at Harry and lifted his had trying to use his fruit. The admiral fell forward onto the ground and landed on his knees.

"How," whispered the man, shock written on his face. Harry smirked as the admiral realized that he no longer had his devil fruit power.

"These fruits are creations of the Potter. Any fruit that has caused anyone to lose the ability to swim has been stolen from the Potter family at some point in time. It is the cursed placed on the fruit to get revenge as they were originally used to help fight against the beings that were trying to kill all humans. If I find anyone is abusing the gift created from my family, they will lose their fruit, but will keep the curse. You are lucky that is all I am doing to you for threatening my family." said Harry "Now we will be leaving, and we will be taking the pirates that are here with us. Sengoku, I will meet with you in a few days. Expect me to have a few pirates with me as body guards, as someone of the things I've heard have made me weary of the World Government. This war is over." Harry put the fruit and the book back into his trunk and shrunk it. He placed it around his neck and started walking with Luffy towards Ace. They all turned and walked the rest of the way until they stood in front of Whitebeard himself.

"So, you are the one they call Whitebeard. From what I understand, Ace calls you father. Is this true?" Whitebeard looked at Harry for a moment as if judging him.

"Yes I am. All of my crew are my children." Harry nodded.

"Very well then. I declare you part of the Potter family, but you will not be full members. This means you do not have the same protection as Ace and Luffy."

"Fine with me. We are pirates, we live for the fight and freedom that comes from sailing the seas." Harry smiled.

"Nicely put. Now, I believe we should leave before some of the marines get it into their head to do a suicide attempt and attack us." He glanced around at the marines as he said this. Whitebeard seemed to understand and called out to his crew.

"Children! We are leaving. Head to the boats now." He turned to Harry. "When we sent sail, you will be visiting our doctor, as you look too skinny to be healthy." Harry shrugged.

"Sure. I already know I'm not in a healthy position. Comes with growing up without being giving a lot of food to eat." Whitebeards eyes darkened as he said this. As they reached the boats, they turned to hear someone yelling for them to wait. They saw Sengoku running towards them with a young marine with pink hair.

"Lord Potter, I ask that you take this young Marine here with you so that we may keep in contact. His name is Coby, and he has been trained by Garp himself." Harry glanced at him as if trying to see any ulterior motives.

"I'm not the one you should be asking." Sengoku nodded and turned to Whitebeard.

"Will you all this Marine onto your ship for communication reasons. I swear that we will not use him to attack your crew. It is just so that we have a way to communicate and keep watch incase Lord Potter needs use." Whitebeard gave him a long look.

"Very well, but if he harms any of my family. I will kill him."

"I understand." He turned to the Marines. "As Lord Potter he said, this war is over. I will personally fight any marine here who wishes to continue fighting."

"And we will help." Everyone turned towards the voice that spoke. It was a man with red hair, three scars over left eye, and a black cloak.

"Brat, it's about time you showed up." Whitebeard said amused at the same time Sengoku asked

"Red Haired Shanks, why are you here?" Shanks looked over at them and then at Harry, Ace, and Luffy.

"I am here because I was planning to stop the fighting, though it seems that I missed all the fun. Whitebeard, I offer use of my ship to help transport any of your men that you cannot find a ship for." Whitebeard nodded.

"May I suggest that we leave soon? I feel like I am going to collapse in exhaustion, and Luffy and Ace need medical attention." Harry spoke up. Shanks looked over at the boy and saw that he was barley standing and was close to passing out. Which he did a few seconds after he spoke. He rushed towards the boy to try and catch him before he hit the ground only for Izo to catch him first. Izo looked him over when he did.

"He's fine, he just needs rest. I can't find any injuries on him, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone watching over him." Whitebeard walked over and pick Harry and Luffy, who had also passed out at this point, up and carried them towards Shank's ship.

"Let's go!" The pirates cheered and all scrambled to get on one of the ships in the bay. As soon everyone was on a ship they set a course for one of the islands under the protection of Whitebeard. They were eventually joined by Law who had been heading towards the battle intending to meet Harry after hearing him claim him as family. Law took over as doctor to Harry and Luffy. Luffy eventually woke up after about a week, and a lot of people wanted to cry when hearing about some of the stunts that his crew had down. Shanks and Ace just smirked and laughed at the stories. The whitebeard crew enjoyed hearing about some of the stories from when Luffy and Ace were growing up.

A week later, Harry opened his eyes.
