Hello everyone and welcome to a new chapter of "Reborn: Return of the King"! This chapter will cover the Whiskey Peak Arc! Sorry for not updating recently, big things are happening to me right now (moving to college, which means new city and stuff.) and Sunday did NOT go as I planned.

One Piece is owned by Eiichiro Oda

"And finished!" Said Lucy while completing her final touches on the snowman she was building "The man who fell from the sky, Mr. Snowman!" She proudly announced. It was similar to the common snowmen, except that it had a cape and a barrel on his head.

"What a childish creation..." Muttered Usopp, before presenting his own work "Now behold! The snow queen!". It was a snow sculpture of a woman (who "coincidentally" looked like Kaya) in a sitting position doing a pose of leaning her head on her hand.

"That's amazing!" Said Lucy. She then looked at her creation and put her hand behind one of the sticks, pushing it with enough force to obliterate the queen's head, looking like it was hit by a sniper rifle. "Snowman Punch!"

"Hey what the hell!" Screamed Usopp, before kicking Mr. Snowman in the face, starting a snow fight.

"How can those two be so full of life when it's so cold outside." Muttered Nami while looking at the two children play.

"NAMI-SWAN! HOW MUCH LONGER SHALL I CONTINUE SHOVELING?" Said the slave, I mean, the cook as he was shoveling the deck.

"Until it stops snowing." Said Nami.

"HAI!"

"Hey, don't you have a heating system on this ship? It's freezing!" Complained Mr.9

"SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOT HERE AS GUESTS SO SHUT UP AND GO SHOVEL!" Said Nami with her classic shark teeth.

"Oi Nami, there's a storm coming." Observed Luffy as he looked through the window.

"But the weather was clear a few seconds ago! Crocus was right, the weather of the grand line is messed up." Said Nami, looking through the same window as Luffy.

"MMMPH!"

"What do you want? Asked the navigator as she turn her head towards Miss Wednesday, who was tied up with rope and with duct tape in her mouth, while at the same time glaring at the navigator.

"She probably just wants to remind you to check your rudder." Said Mr.9

"But I've just checked our..." Replied Nami, before noticing something on her log pose.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

"What happened?" Wondered Usopp. He then saw Nami coming through the door.

"TURN THE SHIP 180 DEGREES NOW!" Ordered Nami.

"Oh boy here comes the fun." Thought Luffy, already preparing himself for the chaos.

"Why, did we forget something?" Said Lucy.

"THE SHIP TURNED ITSELF AROUND! But I had just checked our direction a few seconds ago, and the waves were calm..." Said a confused Nami.

"Looks like you've been played by the waves. Do you even know how to navigate?" Mocked Mr.9 before laughing. He stopped laughing when he felt a chill going through his spine. He found the source of it, but he was already regretting to look at it.

"If you insult one of my nakama again I'll throw your ass overboard, got it?" Said the captain while glaring at the Baroque Works' agent, making him nod in fear. Luffy then calmed himself.

"Don't listen to them Nami, you're great at navigating, after all, only the best gets to be the future Pirate King's navigator." Said Luffy while winking at Nami "Now get out of here and help us! You too wannabe prince!" Ordered Luffy.

"MMMPH!" Roared Vivi again as she shot Nami a glare before they left, leaving Vivi alone.

"Alright my friends! Let's get to work!" Said Luffy towards the crew, receiving a roar of approval, except for a certain swordsman, who was probably dreaming about becoming the world's greatest swordsman.

And so, the pirates navigated through the first nautical miles on the grand line, whether it was cold or warm, through icebergs and fog, through hell itself, until it finally started to get peaceful.

"What a great nap!" Groaned Zoro as he stretched his muscles. He then noticed almost everyone laying down on the deck, except for Lucy and Luffy, who were sitting near the railing. "Hey come on guys, I know the weather is calm but don't you think you're being a bit lazy right now?".

"You piece of..." Thought the tired crewmembers.

"And what are you doing here?" Asked the swordsman to Mr.9

"We're giving them a ride to their island." Said Lucy, trying to spot it.

"Is that so? By the way, I feel like I've heard your names before-" Said Zoro until he was interrupted by a punch to the head.

"How was the nap Zoro? You wouldn't wake up no matter how hard we tried." Said a scary Nami, looking ready to punch him again. Zoro, trying to be manly, did the most stupid thing ever. He tried to fight back.

"Don't let your guards down everyone! I've finally understand how terrifying the grand line is. I understand because ALL of my navigation skills have failed to work!" Proudly said Nami, as Zoro was lying down with three lumps on his head.

"Are you sure we're going to be fine?" Said Usopp.

"We'll be fine! Look, we made it to our first island!" Said the navigator, looking towards the sea, where an island that looked like giant cacti was standing there.

"I appreciate that you took us here, in fact, I'm going to the island right now to make you a feast! Bye bye baby!" Said Mr.9, who was standing on the railing. He then did a backflip and jumped in the ocean.

"So he just leaves us like that? Oh well, at least Miss Wednesday is with us!" Said Sanji.

"Forget him, let's get ready to dock!" Said Luffy, already preparing to leave. They then entered the river where some thick fog was situated. As the fog cleared, it also revealed a town, where the people were celebrating the arrival of the pirates.

"I guess that guy didn't lie to us." Said Usopp, before receiving the praise with open arms.

"THERE'S A BUNCH OF LOVELY LADIES TOO!" Swooned Sanji, as he looked at the women celebrating.

"Well then, let's drop off! Zoro, carry her." Said Luffy, before addressing Zoro to carry the tied-up agent. As they landed on land, they noticed a man with a massive amount of curly hair. The man was preparing to greet them, until he noticed the princess. Before he could outrage he noticed the captain and started to connect some dots.

"So, Mr.9 wasn't lying." Thought Igaram, as he prepared a syringe.

"Welcome pirates to our humble town! As I can see one of our members is in a predicament, so let me take care of that." Said Igaram, before shoving the syringe in Vivi's arm. After a while Vivi started to slump. "You can free her now."

After freeing Vivi, Igaram then took her and spoke "Sorry about that, she has always been a fan of yours Mr. Luffy. Now, how about we start the party!" he said, getting a cheer from the crowd.

Later on, at nighttime

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Asked Luffy while leaning against a wall. In front of him was Igaram.

"I'm here to request your help. My name is Igaram and I'm the head of Alabasta's royal guards."

"And what do you want?" Asked Luffy, however on the inside he was quite confused by how things are turning out. Igaram then took a deep breath.

"For the past 2 years Princess Vivi and I have been in this agency to try to figure out who was the Baroque Works' president, since the association was the one who was starting the rebellion in Alabasta. And we've managed to figure it out who he was. Mr. Luffy, you're a famous pirate who has incredible strength and we'll reward you immensely, so we ask you if you could help us defeat him? COULD YOU HELP US DEFEAT ONE OF THE SHICHIBUKAI, CROCODILE!" Shouted Igaram, while bowing towards Luffy, whose hat was shadowing his eyes.

"If you pay well, then fine we'll do it." Said Luffy in a cool manner. He would deny the reward later on since Vivi was his friend.

"So, you were the ones who found out about the Boss's secret huh?" Said a new voice. Looking Behind Igaram Luffy noticed that it was Mr.5 and his partner whose name he couldn't remember.

"Kyahahaha! How unfortunate of you Mr.8, too bad that we have to kill you." Said the woman while laughing.

"Who are you?" Asked Luffy.

"You want to know my name? Well my dear, my name is Miss Valentine and this is Mr.5." Miss. Valentine introduced.

"Nice to meet you, now bye." Said Luffy, before knocking them out with Conqueror's Haki. "Now, shall we present the news to the others?"

"No need Luffy, most of us are already here." Said a voice from above. Looking up he saw Nami and Zoro, with a sleeping Lucy between them.

"Why is Lucy with you?" Asked Luffy.

"We thought that you wouldn't want to leave her with other guys." Shrugged Nami.

"You're god damn right." Muttered Luffy. "Well, let's get ready to leave then.".

At the dock

"So, I guess I'll see you later princess, don't forget your medication." Said a disguised Igaram, making him look like a woman. Or at least trying to.

"Don't worry Igaram, I will. Now my friends, let's leave this place." Said a very calm Vivi, mainly because of the effects of the medicine. Carue was by her side with tears.

"Thank god for that thing, my ears were going to blow up if she fangirled over Luffy during our trip." Said Zoro, already cringing at the memory of Vivi's screams.

"Don't remind me about that." Said a pissed off Nami. They watched Igaram sail away, until the ship exploded, shocking the pirates.

"Don't worry, I still sense him so he's still alive. Let's leave!" Ordered Luffy, as he was heading towards the ship while carrying a sleeping Lucy on his back. As they were reaching the ship they noticed the bounty hunters in front of it.

"Don't think you can escape traitors!" Screamed one of them, although you could see their legs shaking. Luffy just sighed. "I need better names for my attacks."

"Yami Yami no Whirlpool" Attacked Luffy, creating a whirlpool of darkness, dragging everyone to the middle and getting sucked in. "Reverse" He said, before shooting everyone outside, but with injuries.

"Luffy? Where are we?" Groaned Lucy as she was waking up.

"We're going to leave, but don't worry, because we're going to fight bad guys." Affectionally said Luffy.

"Will you let me fight one of them?" Cutely asked Lucy.

"Of course." Said Luffy while looking over his shoulder. Lucy smiled and then cuddled closer to her brother, falling asleep again.

"C-cute." Thought Vivi and Nami. As they reached the ship Zoro dropped Sanji and Usopp, while Luffy was heading towards the women's quarters to drop off Lucy. However, he sensed one of his old but at the same time future crewmembers. "Robin!"

"So Mr.13 and Miss Friday were telling the truth about him being here." She thought."What a cute display. Almost as amusing as watching a princess thinking that she can take on the entire Baroque Works organization and save her kingdom." Said Nico Robin, putting her evil persona, while sitting on the railing.

"What are you doing here, Miss All-Sunday." Asked Vivi.

"I would think that you would get more riled up after seeing me, but never mind that. Besides you shouldn't worry since I haven't come here on any orders" Robin said. "However, you've gained a strong ally, and we can't allow that. So, Mr. Luffy, how about you leave this girl alone and we'll pay you the double of whatever the reward Mr.8 promised you." Proposed Robin. Vivi got slightly scared right now, since her chance at saving her country was starting to disappear.

"Not interested. Besides, it gives my crewmembers some experience in fighting rather than sit all day doing nothing." Said Luffy while ignoring the glares he was receiving. Robin frowned.

"I see. You are an experienced pirate despite being so young, so you've probably already know about Little Garden, right?" She said, before throwing him a log pose. "Well I'm letting you have a chance to ignore that island. This points to Vacant Islands located right before Alabasta. You can skip Little Garden with this." Explained Robin. Luffy looked at the eternal pose and smirked.

CRUSH!

"Sorry, but I'm the one who decides the route. Now could you please leave this ship." He said. Robin noticed how his shoulders were trembling a bit, making her eyes narrow

"Interesting. Then I guess I wish you good luck and maybe we'll meet again." She said, before jumping over the boat and landing on a sea turtle, leaving the Going Merry alone.

"Ok guys, get ready to sail, I'm just going to Leave Lucy in bed." Quickly said Luffy before entering the Women's quarters. Laying Lucy down he figured she wouldn't hear him and so he started to cry. After calming down, he left the room, not noticing how Lucy's eyes were wide open.

And a sudden turn of events appears! Thank you for bearing with the wait and this chapter whom I'm still not happy about how it turned out, but my belly feels like it has a fire inside and I really don't want you guys to wait any longer. See you next chapter!
