Next chapter here. Enjoy.

Spoiler alarm for those who just watch the anime.

Zoro didn't like her at all, nor did Perona. The endured her presence and kept an eye on her. Lucinda didn't care. Neither of them held her interest. She had seen the determination in the eyes of Zoro and knew he was a good nakama to Luffy. That was all she needed to know. That Luffy would be fine in two years. She talked with Mihawk and read the letters he got from the government. To find out if the woman at the war was the same woman who supposedly were dead or if she was another woman who had eating the Devil's Fruit Lucinda possessed.

"So did you tell Shanks?" asked Mihawk, as they lied on his bed.

"I told Shanks, Rayleigh, Benn, Roo, Yasopp, Whitebeard and his commanders. Sooner or later they will find out, so better to tell them this," she said.

"All of his commanders?" Mihawk raised an eyebrow.

"They all know who and what I am, so I find it naturally that they knew. Besides I couldn't just tell one of his commanders this."

"I see."

Mihawk didn't know what to do. He now knew who she was. Should he tell the government? Or at least make it sound like he did as the government told him. Mostly he didn't care. It was not like they would take his title as Shichibukai from him if he didn't search for her. The government had CP to do this kind of stuff. Therefor he wasn't worried for himself, but for her. She had changed. Slightly, but she had changed. It could be dangerous to her.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I have some unfinished business to do," she said.

"Sorry to hear that, love," he said.

"It's not like I told I would stay forever Mihawk. I don't have much time and there is something I need to do first," she sighed and kissed him slightly.

"Why do I get a feeling you might want to die?" he asked.

"I don't have the time to die yet. Don't worry my dear. And I will leave tomorrow, so …"

Mihawk gazed after the boat, as she sailed. It had been a night to remember. He smirked a bit by the thought of her naked in his bed, moaning and trying not to scream too much. She didn't want to wake the kids, as she had said. This had turned him more on and he had tried to see how far he could go, without her screaming as high as he knew she could. She had at last begged him, which she rarely did and so he had followed her begging. She sure knew how to make one remember her.

Lucinda gave the Island one more last gaze, before concentrating on sailing. Grand Line wasn't a child's sea like the four seas. She had been sailing on this sea so many times and she knew how dangerous it was, especially for a Devil's Fruit user like herself. However she wasn't afraid to sail on it on her own any more. One thing she could thank her age for. Experience was good to have.

She thought about Shanks, Rayleigh and Mihawk. Their reaction on her story. All three had not taken distance to her, which she had feared a bit. This had shown her that she had chosen wisely. They weren't like her previous lovers. And she loved them, but not like they wanted her to love them. Her thoughts wandered to Marco. She couldn't really read that man, but at the same time she felt safe around him. She had to go back to Whitebeard, just to find out why she felt like this around Marco. But now she had to go to Dragon. It had been 3 months since the war and she knew he wanted information about it.

She anchored the ship at the harbor and was stopped by a man, as she tried to enter the Island. It didn't surprise her at all, since Dragon really had a high security standard. She showed the man a card and he let her enter. She walked straight to the big castle, showed her card and got in. It was big and filled with people working. Most stopped as she came in and starting to walk straight to the commander's room. A young man with blond hair was guarding the room, where Dragon was.

"Dragon has a meeting right now. You can't enter and with that old card of yours, I can't give you permission to enter, even if he wasn't in a meeting," he said.

"Old card? Has it really been that long since I last was here? I didn't realize. Well, young man, please tell me where I can get a new one," she smiled.

"I can't do that either," he said.

Lucinda tilted her head lightly. Somewhere had she seen this young man. His hair was slight messy and as long as Ace's. In fact it reminded her of a blond version of Ace's messy hair. His eyes reminded her of Luffy's and he had a burn scar covering his left eye. He wore a blue coat and long black trousers. He also had a top hat with goggles. Suddenly realization hit her. Now she knew who that young man was, but she was quite surprised.

"Can you at least let Dragon know that Lucinda is here?" she asked.

The man nodded automatically and walked in the room. She waited patiently outside. After a few minutes, the man came out and gave her a sign to follow him. She walked beside him and saw that all men in the room went silent and stared at her. The man brought her into another room, where Dragon sat by a table. His wife to his left, Ivankov to his right, a commander next to Ivankov and Nico Robin. All looked at her, Dragon and his wife with a smile, the rest with suspicious looks. Lucinda smiled and as the young man were about to go, she grabbed his wrist.

"I want you to stay for a while, Sabo," she said smiling at him.
