It was a long fight with Arlong, but Luffy had still won Luffy had practically destroyed the whole part of the island that Arlong had claimed, nearly drowning, but in the end, claiming Nami as her one and only navigator and her precious friend. Th village had organized a party for the crew and Nami, so Luffy was sitting up that night, yawning along with Zoro. Sanji was helping cook, Usopp was partying, Nami was with her sister.

"And then they're were five." He said.

"Yep. And more to come." Luffy pointed out. Usopp, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and her. They were a crew, a team, a family. The village was still partying.

"Luffy-chan!" two excited voices yelled. Luffy smiled.

"Johnny-Niisan! Yosaku-Niisan!" Luffy smiled and stood. Zoro stood as well.

"What's with you two?" he asked when he saw they're excited faces.

"Family photo before you guys go!" They cheered.

"We're not a family." Zoro groaned.

"Aw, come on Zoro! Let's take a picture!" Luffy tugged on his shirt. Zoro sighed, why couldn't he say no to Luffy?

"Fine fine." He said, walking with Luffy, Johnny, and Yosaku.

The picture was nicely sitting on Luffy's desk near her bed the next day. She was sitting in the middle of Johnny and Yosaku, the three of them smiling brightly and Zoro stood behind Luffy, smiling slightly at the camera. She smiled, moving it so it faced her bed, then she ran out to the deck where Cocoyashi Village had came to see them all off.

"Come on Nami!" Luffy waved when she saw her at the back of the crowd. The villagers were silent, then Nami began running, pushing through them, bumping them and pushing them. She jumped up onto the ship near Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji. Zoro smirked, Sanji swooned at her 'grace' and Usopp cheered with Luffy about a new member. Nami opened her shirt and multiple wallets fell out, making the crews eyes go wide.

"HEY!" The villagers all screamed when they check their pockets to discover that their wallets were gone.

"Let's sail Luffy!" Nami smiled.

"Aye aye!" Luffy smiled. "Usopp! Set sail!" She yelled.

And the crew sailed away, waving to the island that laughed and yelled at Nami and her farewell antics. The ship was now equipped with a orange tree garden, just for Nami. Luffy proposed a celebration and the crew partied though the day. Then at night, Luffy waved to Sanji and Usopp as they went off to bed and Nami called 'Goodnight' from her and Luffy's room and Luffy sat up with Zoro. She yawed.

"Go to sleep." Zoro yawned after her. Luffy smiled at him.

"I guess I should." She stood, hugging Zoro. "Night!" She said, running off to her room.

"Night." Zoro called after her, staring out at the sea so he could keep watch.

Luffy took one last look at the picture of her make-shift family before she went to sleep. Meanwhile, Zoro noticed a small ship trailing quickly after them in the night. He stood and looked at it closely.

"What is that?" He squinted, the figure on the boat was wearing what looked like a suit and a top hat. It waved at him. The man connected the boats and hopped up to face Zoro. The swords man instinctively went to his swords, but he could make the man out clearly now. He had neck length dirty blonde hair and a chip in his front tooth, blue, deep, eyes and a blue tuxedo and top hat.

"Who're you?" Zoro asked.

"I'm Sabo, you must be Zoro, right?" he asked.

"Who's asking." Zoro glared.

"I'm Luffy's brother, is your captain around?" Sabo asked the younger boy.

Sabo looked at the boy in front of him, he was in a protective stance, ready to attack if needed.

"Luffy's brother?" Zoro said, searching his face. Sabo nodded. Zoro back up. "Wait here then. I'll be back." Zoro walked off to Luffy and Nami's room. Sabo smiled, he had finally found his sister. Zoro shook Luffy.

"Hm? Zoro?" Luffy gripped his arm. "What's up?" She asked.

"Some guy's here, he said he's your brother." Zoro whispered.

"Yosaku-Niisan? Johnny-Niisan?" Luffy asked.

"No, someone else. Come on." Zoro helped her sleepy form up, Luffy grabbed the picture from her desk and let Zoro lead her out of the room.

"Oi, Marimo, who's this?" Sanji, who was now awake, was facing up to Sabo, Usopp was hiding behind him. Nami had waken up too.

"What's going on?" She asked. Sabo smiled, opening his arms.

"Luffy-chan!" He smiled. Luffy clutched the picture, looking at him with confusion.

"Luffy? Do you know him?" Nami asked. Sabo smiled, kneeling near Luffy.

"Of course she knows me! I'm her big brother. Right? Luffy-chan?" Sabo smiled, Luffy backed up, clutching the picture with one hand and Zoro's hand in the other. Sabo tilted his head in confusion. "Luffy-chan?"

"Who... who are you?" Luffy asked.

Sabo stared blankly at the fourteen year old girl. Zoro pushed her behind him.

"Exactly. Who are you?" the 16 year old glared.

"Did he come to hurt Luffy?" Nami, the fifteen year old glared.

"I won't let him lay a finger on her." Sanji, the 16 year old cook glared as well.

"Come on Luffy, we can take him!" Usopp puffed out his 14 year old chest. Luffy still searched Sabo's blank face.

"Luffy-chan? Come on, it's me, it's Sabo onii-chan!" Sabo smiled. "Stop joking around, it's me!" he said desperately. Luffy shook her head, stepping in front of her crew, she held out the picture with her, Johnny, Yosaku and Zoro. She pointed at Johnny and Yosaku.

"That's Johnny-Niisan and that's Yosaku-Niisan. Those are my brothers." She said. Sabo felt a shock of pain.

"Luffy..." He muttered. Zoro stepped in.

"Luffy has amnesia. I've been taking care of her since as long as I can remember. She's never remembered you." He glared a bit.

"Can I stay? Until she remembers?" Sabo pleaded. The crew looked at one another. Sanji looked back.

"Let's go into the kitchen. I'll make some tea." He said. Luffy nodded and the crew and Sabo went into the kitchen.

Sanji presented everyone with tea while Sabo explained what happened the day Luffy went missing. Zoro would mutter something to her every now and then. When Sabo finished everyone was quiet. Nami and Usopp nodded.

"Zoro..." Luffy tugged on his shirt and yawned.

"Yeah, I know, we're all tired. But do you remember anything he said." Zoro asked. Luffy shrugged.

"I remember the storm. But nothing else..." Luffy said. Zoro looked over to Sabo.

"She doesn't remember you." He shrugged. Sabo sighed.

"But you can stay. In case I remember." Luffy said. Sabo smiled at her.

"Thank you, Luffy-chan." he said. Nami stood and stretched.

"Come on Luffy." she said. Luffy shook her head.

"I'll sleep with Zoro tonight." She said, walking off with her first mate. Sanji gave Sabo a blanket for the extra bed in the boys cabin.

"And don't try anything." Usopp warned shakily.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Sabo bowed and the crew went to sleep.

Sabo stayed awake for a bit longer, the pain was still there. The pain that Luffy didn't remember him. The pain of the fact that she found new brothers. The pain of the fact that she found a new person to watch over her. Sabo sighed, slipping into sleep.

Luffy had her back pressed to Zoro's, the same way they used to sleep when they traveled all those years before.

"Zoro?" Luffy called.

"Yeah?" Zoro said back.

"What if that Sabo guy wasn't lying, and everything he said was true?" She asked. "Am I still your friend?" she said, turning to look at his back.

"Yeah. I guess so. If he is lying though, I'll slice him to piece for you, okay?" Zoro yawned. Luffy giggled, turning around again.

"Ok!" she moved closer before falling asleep. Zoro yawned, turning over and wrapping a protective arm around her, having to remind himself that Luffy was a fourteen year old amnesiac.

"Didn't I already say I'd always be here." Zoro yawned before falling asleep himself.
