A/N: I am really flattered to have received such wonderful responses for this fic. Thank you so much for reviewing my work and I will try my best to keep improving myself. I agree about grammatical mistakes being made at a few places but the thing is, I am more of a lazy guy. I find it hard to go through a chapter all over again just to correct the grammar. That's why I was looking for a beta. And about the issue of Goku being an idiot, he's just acting that way since he's having one hell of a time at the new planet. He will still be the charming and dependable Goku, most of the time. Nuff said, on with the chapter now.

KAKAROTTTT!

Of all the times he has acted stupid, why did this have to be the one. Information is power, specially about potential enemies. And Vegeta wasn't sure what will the crowd surrounding them decide about the two. Surely, their power level was way too low to cause any problems dealing with but even if they beat the crap out of the group and force them into revealing information about this world, it won't be as much informative as the information they will be sharing willingly.

People might have thought that Vegeta was a guy who would pull a punch or two before talking. But, his time, being on earth revealed to him as much that there are instances where battle is not the best course of action. There are times when being smart, cunning, manipulative or even friendly be the most appropriate thing to do.

Well whatever, all he could do now is wait and see. And possibly remind Kakarot that they were not on a vacation here.

1.
2..
3...

Of all the possible reactions he would have expected from the statement, this was not one. A few snickers later and the crowd literally burst into laughing!

"Gurarararara... You two brats are funny." Exclaimed Whitebeard. Well, Goku is fine but don't know what gave him that idea about Vegeta. And wait, Who's he calling a brat?

"They're a couple of freaksters." said one of the guys, trying to control his laughter midway.

"And one of them happens to be a good warrior, maybe both." Added Marco. The first guy will be killed slowly and painfully for making that blunt disrespecting statement about Vegeta. The second? Well, at least he said the truth.

"You sure Marco? They hardly seems to be control their minds, let alone both mind and body, as is required for combats. Maybe that initial defensive stance was nothing but a fluke?" came another voice from among the crew members.

"No, it wasn't." said the old guy with white moustache this time. At least the leader is perceptive.

"What Pops said is true. You can see the truth in their eyes. The moment our crewmember attacked him, his eyes lost the usual uncaring demeanor just for a moment, before reverting to the original. If it would have been a fluke, the change could be reflecting fright or insecurity in those eyes. But instead, there was confidence, a lot of it. Not to forget, the same was in the eyes of his comrade. He knew that the strike wasn't enough to cause any problems to the defender." preached Ace this time. Thank the Gods, they are a sensible bunch. And perceptive beyond the average, it will be fun to be around.

"So, how about you get out with the truth of your appearance now brat." said Whitebeard.

Alright, now he had a couple of best suited options. One, beat the crap out of the group, which they can, mind you and force them into revealing as much information as possible. And possibly upsetting Goku, since he's not a guy for unnecessary violence. Or, reveal the truth. At least most of it and try gaining information through sensible talks. As much as Vegeta would love to have a nice little battle, it wasn't the best course of action here, just as explained earlier.

"Fine. But, I am not willing to share this with everyone present here. How about we talk in privacy and I will tell you everything?" replied Vegeta, in a hope that it will work.

"Are you nuts? We want to know too. Who do you think you are, giving us a choi-" announced a guy from among the 1st division but was cut in between the middle of his rant by a hand raised by Whitebeard. The old guy sure is authoritative here.

"I will agree on seeing you privately. But, judging from the mistrust Ace and Marco are radiating, they would like to stick around for protecting me in the case of an emergency. And what kind of father denies the right to protect him, to their sons. The same goes for my whole crew. If I believe, the information you reveal is potentially important for the crew to know, I will reveal it." said Whitebeard in a voice which left no space for argument. not that Vegeta was even one bit intimidated by this, but he would have to act calm, for now. Besides, both of the guys, who will be staying, seemed insightful.

"Fine. I agree upon your terms and conditions." said Vegeta in half a resigned voice. Besides, somebody has to know the truth, partly, in order to nudge the two travelers towards the right direction. Also, since this man in front of him is the most powerful person on this planet and he didn't hide the fact, he must be influential too. That will just play out in their favour.

"Marco, lead us to my private quarter. We will discuss the matter there." Whitebeard said and Marco was on his heels, almost instantly. Throughout this whole matter, Kakarot was more or less, disinterested. His interest piqued up just a bit, when Vegeta mentioned that they are willing to share the information about their appearance. So, just as expected, he approached Vegeta about this.

"You sure, we should tell them these things Vegeta? And even if we do, what are the odds that they will believe us?" said Goku. So, Kakarot finally decided to use his brains. Well, the thought of belief did cross Vegeta's mind, but he disregarded it assuming that it wouldn't even matter in the end. They still have that last option of beating the crap out of everyone. So, if it does comes to that, at least they would be able to say that they tried. Besides, Vegeta had a feeling that these three guys weren't naive people.

"That's a risk we will have to take Kakarot." Vegeta muttered under his breath. Meanwhile, they were walking alongside Whitebeard and his two other comrades towards the decided location. They will just have to wait and see.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

They entered through the gate and the first thing that entered Vegeta's mind was, this man doesn't hold love for materialistic wealth. The room looked anything but poor, mind you. It was a nice little relaxing area with just a bed and a couple of chairs around along with a table with several fruits(not devil fruits) kept over it for snacks maybe. The room was plain and simple. Not what one would expect from someone who could command so many people. Then again, Kakarot was no less a fighter as compared to whitebeard and he lived in a hut within a forest.

Also, the room was located close to the steering wheel for the gigantic ship. That explained that the man was the one to take command in most of the situations, rather than leaving everything to the crew and relaxing somewhere in a corner.

"You should take your seats." Whitebeard suggested. Vegeta and Goku sat on the couple of chairs and Ace/Marco stood by Whitebeard side while he himself sat on the bed in a comfortable position.

"The first thing I will ask of you is to frankly reply to a single question. Did you have any hostile intentions towards me or any member of my crew." asked Whitebeard leaking some of his Haoshuko no Haki. It would have worked well for the intimidation if it were for anyone but Goku and Vegeta. But these guys have faced so many galaxy overlords, it's hardly any intimidating to stand in front of someone who would rather talk than attacking with planet buster attacks.

"For a straight forward answer, No. But we might have had if there would have been another attack on any of us." Vegeta replied calmly. Instead of the usual chill people feel when attacked by Haoshuko no Haki, he did feel slight tickle down his spine but disregarded it as a small nuisance.

Whitebeard was a little surprised when even a strong and concentrated wave of his Haki did nothing to the strangers. If their reply would have been a yes, it might have slightly unnerved Whitebeard. But they were willing to talk and that was a good thing.

"Fine, you should start from the beginning then." Whitebeard suggested again. Meanwhile, Ace and Marco too felt the wave of Haki washing over the room. And, unlike Whitebeard, the fact that it hardly caused any visible reactions from the strangers, did put the two on the edge.

"What do you know about Planets, Solar Systems and Galaxy?" Asked Vegeta. It would be better to explain the basics first and then go into the personal details.

"If I remember correctly, Dr. Vegapunk did give a statement about possible existence of planets like ours. But most of the public straight away declined the possibility, including pirates. But we aren't like those naive crowd. We do believe in strange things like this." Marco explained his own opinion with which, Whitebeard agreed readily with a grunt and Ace with a nod of his head.

Pirates! Now it was all clear to Vegeta. These were pirates. That explains why they were sailing the seas on a huge boat and obeyed a single person, who would happen to be the captain. And since, they didn't have a uniform on, they couldn't belong to a military body either.

"That's good for you. Because, if I were to put it bluntly, this Vegapunk guy is right. I am confirming the possibility. In fact, we both are, by just being here." This time, Goku said. And the way Whitebeard himself showed some surprise, it just confirmed that he got the big picture.

Whitebeard just couldn't control his emotions and did visibly show some amount of surprise. He might have seen and did things that were considered a myth to common man. He might have gone to places where nobody else did. He might have seen creatures who weren't even believed to exist. But, it was the first time he was meeting someone who could reflect the possibility of another world, in fact, a tons of another worlds, just like theirs. These two were Aliens.

"That's quite a surprise. So, where are you two originally from? What's this 'Planet' like?" Whitebeard asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice. This was a new experience, even for someone as experienced as him.

"We are the residents of now destroyed planet Vegeta. We people are called Saiyans. Our race was known to be the mightiest in the whole universe. Our people's primary job was to capture planets and selling it to the highest bidders. So, the right way to put it would be, We were Space Pirates." Vegeta said proudly. This was his personal favorite part. Preaching about his own planet and its once proud residents. He could go on for hours about how they were the mighty saiyans of the universe.

"No way, you too are pirates." Ace put it bluntly ,this time. Considering how much information was being revealed to them, this wasn't really an odd thing.

"But you were a greedy lot. I have a vision about how you might 'Capture' a planet and it's not a merciful one." Whitebeard said. He wasn't sure about the short guy but the tall guy sure didn't seem to be the one for unnecessary violence. But, looks might be deceiving. Normally, he would have been confident in his own judgment of a person, but he wasn't prepared to judge aliens.

"I myself, being the Prince of all Saiyan, am admitting that the way of living for our people wasn't an honorable one. But, that was all in the past. There isn't even a planet Vegeta anymore." Vegeta proclaimed sadly. Damn that bitch Frieza one more time.

Seeing the questioning looks on people's faces, Vegeta continued.

"Our planet was destroyed by a galaxy overlord named Frieza. He was spreading destruction and chaos all around. It's a good thing he was defeated by a Saiyan." Vegeta exclaimed. He would have preferred to do the job himself, but in the end, the winner was a full blooded Super Saiyan. So, no regrets.

"Destroyed, as in?" Marco asked, not believing what he was hearing. How could someone destroy a planet? Maybe the way the world government is destroying this world. But then, why did the short guy mention as if the planet doesn't even exist anymore. That could only mean... No, these things were beyond comprehension.

"Destroy as in, he charged a big yellow ball of pure Ki and threw it towards the planet. The ball had enough power to destroy several planets at a time. Saiyans were a sensitive topic even for Frieza, a legend called Super Saiyan ensured this." Goku explained. Sometimes, he too wondered, how could their life had been at their own home planet. Maybe they could wish the planet back through the Dragon Balls, but Vegeta straight away declined the prospect for some reason.

WHAT? They destroyed the world just like that? Wait, not the world, a planet. Still, this was a whole planet they were talking about. These were the thoughts going on in Whitebeard's mind right now. Sure, he was said to have the power to destroy the whole world. But, there is a difference in saying and actually doing it. And even if he did have the power, which had a good probability, he couldn't just do it with a single attack. This was beyond anything real. And if what they were saying indeed was true, at least one of the guys standing in front of him had the power to destroy this world right now and not even break a sweat. He did defeat this tyrant they call Frieza after all.

"Assuming that your whole race is destroyed, what do you guys do these days, for a living?" Ace asked. This whole idea of destroying a whole planet still was farfetched to him.

"Well, we arrived at planet earth at different points of time and now we live there 'peacefully'." Goku replied. Even though, the stay was anything but peaceful most of the times, he did enjoy the stay.

"The way you put emphasis on peacuful, I believe it's the other way around?" Whitebeard asked curiously.

This just proved to be the trigger as this led the two saiyans to dive into their past and explain their battles with various evil entities as well as their way of living on earth. A few good hours of retelling and they explained how they arrived here towards the end.

The atmosphere was calm and relaxing by now. The whole life story of the two, even though seemed unreal, was inspiring. All that was needed to be done was for Whitebeard to give his final verdict.

"Your honesty in retelling about your past and lineage as well as the fact that you two brats are clueless about this planet has helped me a lot in making this decision. I, Edward Newgate, Captain of the Whitebeard's Pirate Crew, declare you two as a part of the Whitebeard's family. You two are free to stay aboard. And do not, in any way, think that I want you to work for me. You will be sailing as an ally, not someone under my command. Enjoy your stay, as long as you wish." Whitebeard declared with finality.

"This calls for a celebration, doesn't it?" Ace asked hopefully.

"Sure it does, Declare a feast tonight, in the honor of our new guests." Whitebeard announced. It sure will be exciting to travel with the two.

"Hell Yeah, Foooooooood!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs, punching his fist into the air but controlling the power behind, otherwise the thrust itself would have blew apart the roof of the ship and it's not a good thing to destroy the cabin for the captain of the ship, you will be staying aboard.

It sure will be exciting, were Vegeta's thoughts before they were dragged out for some celebration.

A/N: A bit longer chapter this time. I will try and keep increasing the length of the chapters. And no action this time around. Well, it will have to be recuperated in the next chapter, wouldn't it? I sure do have plans about that. Also, SH crew will meet the two saiyans within the next two chapters. Thank you very much again for reading the fic and please review.
