"Wow," was all Luna could say as she ate Sanji's food, "This is gourmet stuff."

Kuro looked at her, he was sure she was going to say shit.

"Don't look at me like that," Luna waved and savored the food, "This is the best thing I've tasted in my life."

"Thank you, Luna-San!" Sanji swoon.

"No, thank you!" Luna made a thumbs up.

Sanji's soul seemed to leave his body.

"Sanji!" Chopper yelled.

Luffy laughed and devoured his food.

Robin smiled at Luna, "Care to tell us about yourself?"

Luna became still for a moment and fell into thought, she looked at Kuro who was feeding Luffy.

Kuro looked back at her, "Why are you looking at me, I'm not you."

Luna sighed, "You know what I mean, how much have you told them?"

Robin thought sped at what Luna said, there were secrets to be uncovered.

"Just a ton of meme references," Kuro smiled.

"Meme references?" Everyone tilted their head in confusion.

Luna looked at Kuina, "Tell me something weird Kuro has said to you."

Kuina ate a piece of meat, "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"

"SpongeBob SquarePants," Luna replied.

Zoro and Kuina seemed to gasp.

"Prepare for trouble!" Zoro stated.

"Make it double!" Luna replied.

Kuina and Zoro's jaws dropped as everyone wondered what was going on.

Kuina and Zoro looked back and forth between Luna and Kuro with awe.

"Who's SpongeBob SquarePants?" questioned Luffy with a head tilt.

"He's a fictional character," Luna waved.

"A living legend," smiled Kuro.

Luna looked at Kuro with an arched eye.

"Both of them aren't lying," stated Kuina.

"Tell me of this SpongeBob SquarePants," Luffy looked intrigued.

Kuro took a deep breath.

"Please don't," Luna sighed.

And so, Kuro told them the story of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Luffy quickly got bored of the story, "I'm not stupid Kuro, there's no way there's a Sponge Bob under the sea who's friend with Patrick the starfish."

Kuro and Luna glanced at each other knowingly.

"You two are definitely a pair," Robin smiled with slanted eyes.

Kuro fell into thought, "I can't think of an insult for Robin, back me up Luna."

Luna fell into thought, "I feel brain dead, got nothing."

"Noooo!!!" Kuro yelled exaggerating and slump into his chair.

Robin least to say was confused by their reaction.

"Let's talk serious stuff," Luna sighed.

"I don't feel like talking serious stuff," Kuro swiveled in his chair depressed.

"Well I'm going ahead anyway," Luna munched on a fish, "Is Ace ok?"

"Yeah," Kuro swiveled.

Luna seemed surprised, "You succeeded in not," Luna swiped at her neck with her hand.

Everyone wondered why she was doing that.

"You two are strange," uttered Brook.

"Yeah," Franky agreed.

"No," Kuro swiveled, "All I did was gave him a sharp knife and he managed to pull an uno reverse card on Blackbeard."

Shock formed on Luna face, "No way!"

Kuro shrugged, "He's Gold Roger's son, not too surprising honestly."

"I guess," Luna felt lost and relieved.

"What are you two talking about!" Nami shark teethed.

"Ace is Gold Roger's son?!" Usopp choked.

"No way!" Choppers eyes widened.

"Oh my," Robin muttered.

"Ho," Brook sounded.

"Interesting," Franky smiled.

"He had great manners," Sanji got up.

"I wish I had a cat to swivel around with like an evil villain," Kuro sighed.

"Spill," Kuina slapped with the table with a sharp stare.

Luna gulped as everyone stared at her wanting information.

"Don't take them seriously," Kuro swiveled, "We'd probably have to explain more the more we explain and ain't nobody got time for that."

"Everyone's got time for that," Zoro stated determined.

Kuro sighed, "You see, when Roger met a women, the two did the.."

"Stop!" Nami yelled embarrassed.

Everyone sighed at Kuro's explanation.

"Did what?" Luffy questioned confused.

Kuro smiled evilly.

"Don't you dare," Luna stated with a glare.

"I agree," Robin smiled.

"We won't ask you to explain," Kuina sighed.

"Back to the serious stuff," Luna stared at Kuro.

Everyone became curious about the serious stuff.

Kuro swiveled around which started to tick everyone off, "If we talk about serious stuff, they'll ask us to start explaining and I don't wanna."

Luna sighed in understanding and looked at everyone, "No explanation please?"

Everyone nodded with each other.

Luna smiled and turned to Kuro.

Kuro smiled a little at her, "I don't think they'll keep their promise about no explanation but go ahead."

Luna nodded, "What's the game plan?"

"Game plan?" Luffy tilted.

Everyone grabbed Luffy to shut up him up.

Luffy pushed them away and pouted cutely.

Kuro smiled and swiveled, "Well, Cap will have to make his debut at Sabaody as a Supernova. We need to show everyone we're the top dogs. If we're lucky, a celestial dragon will show up, and Cap will punch them. Admiral Kizaru will come after us and we'll have a horrible defeat.

Everyone frowned at the thought of an admiral coming after them and wondered how Kuro would know.

Kuina, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji did not like the words of horrible defeat.

Robin narrowed her eyes with interest.

"Does Luffy have to punch an celestial?" Luna poked her food and ate.

"I will have my ship sail no matter what," Kuro smiled calmly.

Luna stared at Kuro, "If your ship fails, can I try to sail mine?"

Kuro looked at Nami with a smile and Nami felt creeped out.

Kuro turned back to Luna with a confident smile, "I'll bet a billion berri, your ship will never sail."

Luna seemed to grin madly, "Oh, you're giving me a chance, huh, I like that, very well."

Luna stretched out her hand, "Shake on it?"

Kuro shook her hand with a smile.

Everyone wondered what kind of deal they were making as Robin's brain went overdrive trying to dissect things.

Luna looked at Robin curiously, "What if Robin manages to sail the ship?"

Kuro swiveled with a grin and looked at Robin, "That's going to be quite an upset, but I'll accept."

"An upset?" Robin arched an eye curious and confused.

Luna waved her hand with a smile, "Don't worry about it, I don't think you're the type that'll try to sail the ship."

"What ship?" Luffy tilted his head.

"Maybe one day I'll tell you, Cap, though you'll probably laugh and think I'm stupid," Kuro smiled.

Luna suddenly had a thought, "What if no ship sails?"

Kuro's eyes widened and looked at Luffy sadly, "Let's hope that doesn't happen, I don't want Cap to end up a depressed pirate king."

"Yeah, me too," Luna stared.

Luffy wondered why they seemed sad for him.

Everyone simply wondered what the fuck they were talking about.

Luna turned back to Kuro, "How soon will we enter the New World?"

Kuro swiveled and a fake cat appeared in his arm, he patted the cat, and it purred.

Usopp and Chopper's eyes shot out but kept quiet.

Another mystery of Kuro's devil fruit, everyone thought.

"If Cap doesn't punch a celestial dragon, we're entering the New World immediately," Kuro stated.

Robin and Nami frowned, punching a celestial dragon was not a good idea but Luffy could definitely do it.

"Celestial dragon?" Luffy tilted his head curiously.

Luna waved her hand, "They're people you'll hate a lot."

"Oh!" Luffy enlightened.

Everyone's sweat dropped.

Luna turned back to Kuro, "With the current strength of the crew, you do know how bad of an idea it is to enter the New World right?"

Kuro swiveled and smiled, "Yep."

"Explain," Luna ate and stared.

Kuro hummed, "I don't set the course of the Sunny, if Cap wants to sail us into certain death, I"ll follow."

Luna slapped the table, "Alright you're crazy, the crew should have a democratic vote then. Raise your hand if you agree," Luna raised her hand.

Nami, Robin, Chopper, Usopp, Kuina, Sanji, and Franky raised their hand.

Zoro and Brook stayed silent.

Luna smiled, "Well, would you look at that."

Kuro turned to Luffy, "What says you Cap?"

Luffy frowned at Kuro, "I don't want to sail us into certain death if I know."

Kuro's eyes shot out as if Luffy said the craziest thing ever.

Luffy seemed shocked offended, "What do you think of me Kuro!?"

The crew sweat dropped as they felt both of them were crazy.

Kuro laughed, "Sorry I miss judged you Cap, I thought you were all about adventure and certain death."

"Adventure, but not certain death," Luffy stated adamantly.

Luna seemed genuinely shocked at Luffy's attitude and Robin noted it.

"Well Cap, if you're not seeking certain death, then I wish for the crew to sail and train in Paradise for two years. After two years, we'll bring a storm into the new world," Kuro grinned.

Luffy grinned, "That's fine with me."

"Also I want to join the seven warlords," Kuro stated.

"What!" Everyone yelled.

"You're gonna have to explain this one," Luna stared.


Arriving at Sabaody, crowds of people back away from the strawhats in fear.

"Looks like we're famous," Nami sighed.

"Very famous," Usopp looked around.

"More like infamous," Kuro stretched his arms.

"So what should we do?" Chopper tilted his head.

"I guess have fun at the amusement park," Luna looked around.

Kuro looked at Zoro and Kuina, "Got any flashback?"

Kuina and Zoro nodded with a smile.

"Flashback?" Luna tilted her head.

Kuina shrugged, "Back when we were kids, there were slavers at a fair we visited. We found them out and beat them up."

Kuro looked around with narrowed eyes, "You guys have fun, I'll keep watch, there are many slavers around here. Don't get caught."

Kuro disappeared into the ground.

Usopp, Chopper, and Nami gulped and stuck to Kuina.

Sanji looked around carefully, "Everyone stick with someone strong."

Everyone nodded with agreement.


Seeing Kizaru fly around kicking Supernovas, Kuro smiled.

"Hey admiral Kizaru," Kuro waved.

"Stop!" Chopper and Nami cried whisper yelling from a hidden corner.

Kizaru turned his attention to Kuro, "Ooo, you look scary."

"Thanks," Kuro wiggled.

Kizaru's face seemed to falter at the sight for a moment.

"They say you're the smartest admiral, no wonder you're so bright," Kuro smiled.

"I'll take that as a compliment," Kizaru studied Kuro lazily.

"Say, how do I join the warlords?" questioned Kuro.

Kizaru looked at Kuro strangely, "You don't think you can join the warlords after what your captain did can you?"

"Perhaps this will change your mind?" Kuro held out a banana.

Kizaru arched an eye, "You're really daring."

Kuro ate the banana and looked at Kizaru dully, his finger lit up with a yellow light, "Can I join now?"

Kizaru's eyes widened and he narrowed, "Let me call the five elders."


The strawhats sailed away from Sabaody.

"That was scary!" Chopper cried.

"Yeah," Usopp took a deep breath.

Nami nodded shaking.

Luffy, Zoro, Kuina, and Sanji looked grim.

Brook and Franky felt lost.

Luna and Robin seemed calm but their eyes were in turmoil.

Kuro yawned, "Don't worry too much, once you're all stronger, we can do whatever we want."

Luna looked at Luffy and then Kuro, "Are you going to honor your deal with them?"

Kuro shrugged, "Wiping out most pirates from Paradise shouldn't be too hard for me. I like to think of it as a little training."

Luna smiled, "You're quite confident in your devil fruit."

Kuro laid back and smiled, "Yeah, it likes me a lot."
