The G-5 soldiers stared in absolute shock at the surprise entrance of Kuzan. Doflamingo seemed surprised, himself…but then he smirked and prepared to finish off Smoker, anyway. He flexed his fingers, about to deliver the final blow, but then…
"I warned you, didn't I?" Kuzan asked. "ICE TIME!"
Then…he froze Doflamingo in ice, and nearly froze everyone within the vicinity of the attack!
"WHOA!" the G-5 soldiers cried as they jumped away, just in time!
"YOUNG MASTER~!" Buffalo and Baby-5 cried.
A pause…but then, Doflamingo broke free! Then, he turned and glared at Kuzan, the same menacing grin on his face. However, his breathing came out rather shaky.
"Oh, what a relief!" Buffalo sighed. "He wasn't frozen down to his heart!"
"SMOKEY!" cried the G-5 soldiers.
"Hmph!" Doflamingo scoffed. "I have no desire to fight you…but if I don't have the option of silencing him for good, then I'll just have to change my tactics."
With that, he turned and walked away.
"Oh, wait," Doflamingo said. "Before I go…will tell me just one thing? Where exactly do you stand?"
Kuzan remained quiet.
"Well?!" Doflamingo asked. "What exactly ARE you…Kuzan?!"
Kuzan still didn't answer.
"…The rumors I hear aren't very good, you know," Doflamingo said…before he walked over to Buffalo and Baby-5, unlocked their chains, and then flew off with them.
"Uhh, excuse me?" Kuzan asked as he looked Smoker over. "You might wanna hurry up and help this man before he dies of blood loss or something!"
"Oh! Right away!" cried G-5's medical team.

Doflamingo and Baby-5 sat on Buffalo's back, making their way back to Dressrosa.
"He's no simple wanderer," said Doflamingo. "Only a man who's made up his mind about something…can make a face like that."

Back on Punk Hazard, Kuzan is sitting with Smoker, whose wounds have been treated and bandaged.
"I never thought I'd see the day," Kuzan said, "when the World Government was the be-all, end-all. You don't have to be affiliated the Marines to accomplish things in the world…and there are something you can only see when you remain independent."
"I was a dead man…just now," Smoker said.
Kuzan chuckled at this.
"Then I guess…it was fate that brought me here," he said.
"Why exactly are you here?" Smoker asked. "Last I heard from you, people said you were walking away from that whole Neo Marines fiasco back on Piriodo."
"To see you, of course," Kuzan said.
"How'd you know I'd be here?" Smoker asked. "You wouldn't happen to have connections to the black market…now would you?"
The G-5 men gasped in horror at the thought.
"B…Black Market?!"
"Sir, he's a former Admiral!"
"If you're done bandaging him, give him some damn space!" Kuzan shouted, causing them to back off.
Nearby, Kuzan's new pet penguin, Camel, is sleeping.
"I'm just me…Smoker," Kuzan said.
"…Fine by me," Smoker said.
"Just make sure you keep your eyes on Doflamingo," Kuzan advised as he stood up. "He's one of the Seven Warlords and presiding King of Dressrosa. He's an exceedingly rare class of pirate, unlike even the Snake Princess of the Kuja. Inform Fleet Admiral Sakazuki and have the Admirals mobilized. In a worst-case scenario…the gears will come undone before our eyes…and this will be the greatest challenge yet faced by Sakazuki's new Marine Headquarters."
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Oh, one more thing, men!" he said. "The fact that you saw me is a…umm…well, you know. Ah, whatever…I forget. Who cares?"
"We'll just keep it a secret, anyway!" the G-5 Marines shouted.

Later that night, on the open sea, the Straw Hats are now preparing to take a good, long, well-deserved rest after the events on Punk Hazard, but first, Luffy and Chopper decided to get some fishing done before they turned in. Nami and Aika had gotten out of the bath.
Right now, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Blizzard, and Brook are wearing samurai armor that Kin'emon had made for them.
"It's nightfall and no one's come after us, yet!" Usopp exclaimed. "They won't find us here, right?! How big was the search party? Thousands?! TENS of thousands?! I swear, Law, I haven't a moment's peace of mind ever since I heard you threatened Doflamingo!"
"He speaks the truth, methinks!" Chopper added.
"Ah, don't worry about it," Luffy said as he fished a crab out of the sea. "You'll be perfectly safe wearing Kin's armor!"
"What I wanna know why I why I'm wearing this thing," Blizzard said, his helmet covering his eyes. "I can barely see through the helmet! It keeps slipping over my eyes!"
"You gave him a choice between quitting the Warlords and fighting an Emperor," Brook said. "He's bound to come kill us rather than choose either of those! Yohohoho! Sounds rather scary!"
"I SHALL NOT STAND FOR THIS!"
Luffy turned around and saw Kin'emon, trying to slash at Zoro with his flaming blades.
"Oh! They're playing samurai!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Uh, Luffy…I don't think they're playing," Blizzard said.
"Have at thee, you fiend!" Kin'emon shouted.
"I already told you!" Zoro cried as he dodged Kin'emon's attack. "It's a long story!"
"Guys! Don't fight on the deck like this!" Nami cried. "It's dangerous! What if you accidentally burn something?!"
"Yeah! Like me?!" Caesar questioned.
Aika, who is wearing a pink bathrobe that Nami had given her, yelped as she jumped out of the way.
"Watch it!" she cried.
"Hey, be careful, Kin!" Luffy shouted. "You almost hit Aika!"
"You've really grown fond of her, huh, Luffy?" Blizzard asked.
"And what's wrong with that?" Luffy asked, defensively.
"Nothing, I'm just saying," Blizzard replied.
"The grave-robbing of Wano's National Hero traumatized our land!" Kin'emon shouted. "And now I discover that it was YOU?! My disappointment knows no limits!"
"I keep telling you, it wasn't me!" Zoro shouted.
"Speak not such lies!" Kin'emon barked. "I recognize the blade on your waist as Shuusui, the sword of the great Ryuuma!"
"Another noisy night," Sanji mumbled. "So who's eating dinner?"
"Me!" Luffy raised his hand.
"Me, too!" Chopper exclaimed, raising his hoof.
"Me, three!" Aika added, and Kumi raised her paw as well. "What are we having?"
"It's pizza," Sanji said. "I made 4, each with different toppings."
"Ooh! Yummy in tummy!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Peeda?" Kin'emon repeated. "Yet another fine meal concocted by that good fellow, no doubt! Has Momonosuke already retired to bed?"
"No," Nami answered. "He's taking a bath with Robin."
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH?!" Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon cried. "THAT LITTLE BRAT IS IN THE SACRED GARDEN KNOWN AS THE BATHHOUSE?!"
Indeed. Robin and Momonosuke are just now getting out of the tub.
"You and Aika both haven't bathed in days, have you?" Robin asked.
"Indeed," Momonosuke answered.
"How do you feel?" Robin asked. "Nice and warmed up, now?"
"Yes, I am rather comfortable," Momonosuke said.
Soon, the Perverted Trio appeared…and saw Robin, holding Momonosuke, who is wrapped up in a towel…and rubbing his face against her breasts!
"Oh, good, you're here," Robin said. "Kin'emon, can you make Momo a new kimono?"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU PERVERTED LITTLE IMP?!" Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon shouted.
"Hmm?" Robin hummed, inquisitive…but then, she felt Momonosuke, nuzzling her chest, and she gasped and blushed red at the same time. "Oh, my word!"
"Momo!" Nami shouted as she pulled Momonosuke out of Robin's arms. "What do you think you're doing?! That's very naughty for a boy your age!"
Not long after she said this…Momonosuke began to sniffle and fat tears began to form in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Princess…!" he sobbed.
"Oh…I guess as long as you don't do it again," Nami said. "How about a hug?"
"Yes, please!" Momonosuke said.
Soon, Nami pulled the young boy into a hug…but not long after, she felt an odd rubbing motion betwixt her bosom. She looked down at Momonosuke…giving a perverted little grin.
"W-what the-?!" Nami questioned.
"That little horn-puppy is taking advantage of his age!" Sanji barked.
"This shall not be tolerated!" Kin'emon shouted. "I'll have him cut off his topknot in shame for this!"
"GET HIM!" Brook shouted, but then, Luffy pushed his way inside and blocked the Perverted Trio's way.
"Whoa, whoa!" he cried. "Timeout, now! Heavy alert!"
"L-Luffy! What are you doing?!" Sanji questioned. "Why are you defending the kid?!"
"Ah! I got this, all right?" Luffy asked before he grabbed Momonosuke by the hand. "Just let me talk to him for a bit. C'mon, Momo. I'll get you a…get you a big ol' pretzel or something."
Everyone watched as Luffy left with Momonosuke. Soon, they arrived in the Aquarium Bar.
"Were you followed?"
"No," Luffy answered.
"Good."
SLAM! The door slammed shut, revealing Zoro behind it, and needless to say, neither he nor Luffy looked very happy.
"W-what's going on?" Momonosuke asked.
"You know exactly what's going on here, you little turd," Luffy hissed.
"Yeah, what kind of dumb-asses do you take us for?!" Zoro asked.
"W-what?" Momonosuke asked.
"Don't play dumb!" Luffy said. "If you think you're gonna pull that little 'I'm-young-so-I-can-rub-my-face-in-other-girls-boobs-all-I-want' shit, you've got another thing coming!"
"So let's make something clear," Zoro said before he pointed Kitetsu III in Momonosuke's face, making him gasp. "Robin is MY GIRLFRIEND, so the next you try any funny business, you're gonna find my sword up your ass!"
"Same with Nami," Luffy said. "If I so much as even HEAR you rubbing your face against her melons, you're gonna find my fist in your nose! COMPRENDE?!"
"C-c…c…com…compre…yes, sir…!" Momonosuke answered.
"Good," Luffy said before he saw Zoro leaving. "Hey, wait, where are you going Zoro?"
"Uhh…Robin and I have to…talk," Zoro answered before he left.
"Ohh~!" Luffy said…but then he spotted Momonosuke, trying to sneak away. "Hey! Not so fast, you little punk!"
"EEP!" Momonosuke yelped.
"I've got plans for you," Luffy said…before he began to laugh in a sinister manner.

Later, a pouting Momonosuke is in the Men's Quarters…lying in Blizzard's dog bed with the already snoozing wolf-dog. At first, there is nothing but silence…until…
PFFFFOOOOOOTT! A familiar air-ripping noise is heard…coming from Blizzard's backside, causing Momonosuke to gag and cough at the horrible stench.
Before he went to sleep, Blizzard happened to eat a plate of boiled eggs, but there was one problem: eggs made Blizzard very gassy.
XXX
Meanwhile, in the bathhouse…Zoro had just entered, and saw Robin about to get in.
"Well, hello," Robin greeted with bedroom eyes.
"Hello, yourself," Zoro greeted back as he began to strip. "Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all," Robin said as she got in the tub, and soon, Zoro, who had stripped down to his birthday suit. "So, where's Momonosuke?"
"I think Luffy's making him sleep with Blizzard," Zoro said. "The dog ate a lot of eggs, so…yeah…"
"Oh, dear," Robin said. "Don't you think that's a bit extreme."
"Ah, he'll be fine," Zoro reassured as he got in the tub with Robin. "If he survived Punk Hazard, he can survive wolf-dog farts. So…shall we?"
(A/N: WARNING: LEMON AHEAD!)
Robin smiled…before she and Zoro began to kiss. Zoro moaned in her mouth, his tongue exploring the wet cavern that was her mouth, his hands roaming around her back and her nice, plush, apple-shaped ass.
"Mm…ahh…!" Robin moaned. "Oh, Zoro…!"
"Mmm…you taste real good, Robin," he said as he kept kissing her, causing her to moan pleasantly. It was music to his ears. "Mmm…yeah, lemme hear that voice of yours some more."
Then, he began squeeze on one her breasts, causing her to moan even more. He even began to tweak her erect nipples, which only continued to excite her.
"Oh…oh, Zoro, yes…yes~!" Robin moaned. "Oh, I love you so much!"
"I love you, too, Robin," Zoro said as he kept massaging her chest.
XXX
Concurrently, Luffy happened to hear the moans going on inside the bathhouse, and all he could do was sigh.
"Seriously?" Nami asked. "Don't they know that we've got kids on board, now?"
"Can you blame them?" Luffy asked.
"…I guess not," Nami said.
At that moment, Luffy noticed that the pink "HEAT" tank top she was wearing.
"'HEAT', huh?" Luffy repeated.
"Yep," Nami answered, sticking her tongue out in her usual playful manner. "You like it?"
"Sure do," Luffy said. "In fact…I think I wanna do some heated things myself."
Then, he began to kiss on Nami's neck and collarbone, but as quickly as he did so, Nami gently pushed him away.
"Luffy, no," she said.
"Huh?" Luffy muttered. "W-why not?!"
"We can't on account of you-know-who," Nami whispered, pointing to Aika, who is sitting by the mast with Kumi.
"…Oh, yeah," Luffy pouted. "I hate it when you're right, sometimes."
Nami smiled before she whispered in his ear, "I'll make it up to you in a few days."
Hearing this made Luffy feel a little bit better, for he smiled and kissed Nami on the lips before pulling away.
"Sometimes, I think you're too good to me," Luffy said.
"I try," Nami said.
Aika just blinked, innocently.

"Ahh…ahh…ahh…!" Robin cried as Zoro had finished massaging her melons and teased her by slipping two fingers in and out of her womanhood. "Oh…oh, Zoro…I think I'm about to…!"
Before long, she gave in and came all over Zoro's hand. The green-haired swordsman smirked before he began to lick it up while looking at Robin with a seductive glint in his eyes.
"I think it's time we got down to business," he said.
"I couldn't agree more," Robin agreed before she turned her backside to Zoro, who soon grabbed a hold of her waist…and entered her, causing her to cry out in pleasure. As soon as he did so, Zoro began to make moderate thrusts, in which Robin cried out in rhythm as tears of pleasure fell from her face.
"Oh…oh, yes! Yes!" Robin cried.
"You like that, huh?" Zoro asked.
"Yes…yes, I do…!" Robin moaned.
"Well…you're gonna love this!" Zoro answered…before he began to grind, causing Robin to moan, even more.
"Zoro~!" she cried. "Oh, god, this feels SO GOOD~!"
XXX
"Are you freaking serious, right now?" Usopp asked, sitting on the railing with Chopper.
"Hey, Usopp?" Chopper asked. "There was something you were gonna tell me before the whole mess on Punk Hazard, right? So what was it?"
"Oh, yeah," Usopp answered. "Well, Chopper, I think it's time you knew the truth as to what Luffy and Nami and Zoro and Robin do around here. You see, they…"
The sniper then whispered something into the little reindeer's ear.
"…Wait," Chopper said. "THAT'S what they're doing?"
"Yep," Usopp answered. "I know it sounds gross, but-"
"Well, why didn't anybody just say so?!" Chopper asked, causing everyone to look at him with bugged-out eyes.
"You mean…you know what it is?" Usopp asked.
"Of course I know what sexual intercourse is!" Chopper answered. "I am a doctor, you know! I've been learning about that stuff when Doctorine taught me about medicine!"
A pause…but then, everyone except Aika and Kumi face-faulted into the deck!
"We were worried about nothing?!" Usopp questioned.
"You've gotta be kidding me…!" Sanji groaned. "All this time, he knew and we acted like he didn't!"
"Well…that's one thing off our minds, at least," Luffy said.
"…What's-" Aika began, but then Luffy covered her mouth.
"We'll tell you when you're older!" he cried.
XXX
"UH~! Yes…yes! Faster! DEEPER!" Robin cried as Zoro kept thrusting inside her. "Oh, god, Zoro! I want this so badly!"
"You're gonna get it," Zoro said as he thrust deeper and faster into Robin, who practically screamed at this point.
"AAAAH…AAAAH….AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Robin screamed. "YES! YES! YEEEEEEES~!"
"That's right! I wanna hear you scream, baby!" Zoro shouted as he went in, harder and harder, driving Robin completely up the wall!
"Oh…Z…Zoro!" Robin cried. "I…I think…I'm about to…"
"I know! So am I!" Zoro shouted. "BIG FINISH~!"
Soon, they both screamed as they climaxed. Robin panted heavily, as did Zoro.
"Damn…that was great…!" Zoro said before he slowly pulled out of Robin. "Good thing we were in the bath, huh?"
"Yes," Robin answered before she got out, too, unplugging the tub and letting the water run down the drain. "We should do this more often, you know."
"My thoughts exactly," Zoro said before he yawned and began to get dressed. "Well…it's about that time, isn't it?"
"Yes," Robin said as she got dressed, too. "That did wear me out, a little."
Soon, the two headed out of the bathhouse, where everyone was waiting.
"Well…10 o'clock," Luffy said as he yawned and stretched. "And man, am I beat."
"Me, too," Nami agreed as she yawned, as well. "All that mess on Punk Hazard really tired me out. I guess it's time for us to hit the sack."
"We're staying out here," Usopp said. "Chopper and I have watch duty with Franky."
"Yeah!" Chopper said. "We gotta be prepared in case Doflamingo attacks!"
"I doubt he'll show up now," Law said. "Even someone like him needs to sleep."
Soon, he sat down against Jupiter, who is already in deep slumber.
"And I'm going to do the same," he said. "So…goodnight."
"'Night, Traffy," Luffy said. "'Night, everyone!"
"Goodnight," everyone said.
"Um…Luffy?" Aika asked. "Where are Kumi and I gonna sleep?"
"Oh, yeah," Luffy said. "Well…we don't really have any rooms, so…I guess you'll have to sleep with Nami and me."
"Are you sure?" Aika asked.
"Of course, Aika!" Nami said. "Come on! It's okay!"
Aika yawned before she and Kumi tiredly walked over to Luffy, who picked the former up and held her in his arms while Nami picked up the latter.
Soon, everyone retired to bed. Well, almost everyone. Usopp, Chopper, and Franky are the only ones who remained awake.
"H-he's bound to show up, sooner or later," Usopp said. "Come and do your worst, Doflamingo! …Then again, please don't!"
"Must…not…sleep…!" Chopper said, his eyes wide yet tired.
"Nothing on the horizon," Franky yawned.
Even Caesar had found himself fast asleep on the Sunny's deck. However…Law is actually wide awake right now. Why?
It was because he had something on his mind…something he felt that had to be said, and soon.
'I know it has nothing to do with the plan,' Law thought, 'but still…I think it's best to just get it out of the way.'
XXX
It was around 2 o'clock in the morning. Nami is sound asleep in hers and Luffy's bedroom. Sleeping between them is Aika, who unwittingly transformed into her wolf form in her sleep, and Kumi, who is sleeping at the foot of the bed.
Just then, a hand reached down and gently shook Nami awake.
"Nami…" a familiar voice called, softly. "Nami…wake up, Nami…!"
Nami moaned in annoyance for a moment before she opened her eyes and saw Robin.
"Robin…?" Nami muttered. "W…what's going on?"
"Get out of bed," Robin replied.
"Huh?" Nami asked before she looked at the clock. "R-right now? But it's 2 in the morning. What is it?"
"Law said he wants to talk to us," Robin said.
"But why?" Nami asked, now very irritable in knowing that it was Law who actually forced her from her sleep. "Can't it wait until morning?"
"He said it's urgent," Robin said.
Nami groaned before she got out of bed, leaving Luffy, Aika, and Kumi in bed.
"What about Luffy?" Robin asked.
"I doubt he'll wake up," Nami answered. "Just leave him. Whatever Law has to say, I'll tell it to Luffy in the morning."
With that, the girls headed upstairs and outside to the deck…where they saw Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Blizzard, Brook, even Kin'emon and Momonosuke, wide awake and sitting a circle around Law and Jupiter.
"He woke you guys up, too?" Nami asked.
"Yup," Zoro answered.
"Uh-huh," Sanji said.
"Yes," Brook replied.
"We were already awake," Usopp, Chopper, and Franky said, dark circles underneath their eyes.
Nami groaned in annoyance before she came and sat in the group circle.
"Alright, Law," the navigator said. "You've managed to rouse us from our sleep, so please, enlighten as to what you're going to say so we can go back to bed."
"Just so you know, what I'm about to tell you has nothing to do with the plan," Law said. "I just thought I'd get it out of the way."
"Fine," Nami said. "What is it?"
"And it had better be good," Zoro added.
"Earlier today," Law began, "I was running a test on the children we rescued from Caesar to check and see if they had any NHC10 in their bloodstream. Almost all of them did…except Aika."
"So Aika didn't take any of the drug," Sanji said. "Big deal."
"I'm not finished," Law said. "I also took a blood sample from Straw Hat-ya to check and see if what Raccoon Dog-ya said about him having anti-toxins in his bloodstream was true…and he was right."
"See? I told you," Chopper answered. "Hey, wait a second! I'm not a raccoon dog!"
"So what?" Franky asked. "You did a blood test of the kids and Luffy. Big whoop."
"Can we go back to bed, now?" Blizzard asked.
"Will you PLEASE let me finish?!" Law asked. "Now…when I did the blood test…I found something odd."
"Odd?" Robin repeated.
"Can you be any more vague?" Usopp asked.
"I looked back and forth between Straw Hat-ya and Aika's blood samples," Law continued, "and I saw…that their DNA structure is unusually similar."
Nami's eyes went wide before she looked at Law, almost in shock.
"…What exactly are you trying to say?" Nami asked.
"What I'm saying is," Law said, "Aika…is the younger sister of Straw Hat-ya."
Everyone gasped in absolute shock and surprise at this revelation…while down in Luffy and Nami's room, Luffy is snoring away on the bed…with Aika lying asleep next to him.
TO BE CONTINUED…
There you have it folks, Punk Hazard is officially over...and the big reveal is...well, revealed!
Up next, the Story of Aika, which I will start in a couple of days. Right now, I'm very tired. It's half-passed midnight where I live.
Thank you all for your support.
Review, please!
