Time flies by once more and it finally the year where both her sisters will set sail, with Ann being first and Sabrina following soon after. Ann as a pirate, and then Luna found out through her father that Sabrina joined the revolutionary. It had not shocked her really, Sabrina was always the person that wanted to do something directly to change the way of the world, she was disgusted by what nobles did, and it seems like she wishes to put a stop to all of their doings.
Ann had set to be a pirate, and her goal was the same to Luna was told when they were younger. She wanted to pave a title for herself, she wanted to have her own title rather than be known as the late pirate king's daughter. While Ann doesn't hate her father, or herself, because Luna made sure not to let the opinions of others affect Ann's view of her father, Ann did not want to just depend on her father's name. So, when Luna got a call from Shanks a few months after Ann setting sail, for him to tell her that he got a letter from Makino, saying that Ann was aiming to fight Whitebeard, Luna giggled. Seems like Ann will be joining the Whitebeards soon.
When meanwhile all this happened, Luna met a princess undercover and struck a friendship with her, only to find out that one of the seven warlords has been causing conflict in her kingdom. Luna promised Vivi that she will free her country.
Luna ended up teaming up with Smoker on freeing Alabasta, and their meet up place was on the red line entrance. Smoker had been too exhausted to argue with Luna on the inconvenience it will he to climb the mountain. It was there that they met a whale that kept attacking the Red Line Mountain and this hurt Luna. She could feel the sadness radiating off him, Laboon, the name of the whale that they found out from the man Crocus, who lives on top of the mountain.
When Luna heard the name Crocus, she remembered the name from her Rouge-nee-chan's journals.
"You're Crocus! The doctor that sailed with the pirate king!" Luna exclaimed.
Smoker and Tashigi always thought that her obsession with Gold Roger was weird, but both shoved it aside as a Luna thing, so they didn't question how she knew old man Crocus.
But Crocus was suspicious of the lady, "And how do you know that brat?"
"Shishishi!" She giggled, "You know, I had an older sister," the marines didn't understand why she mentioned the older sister; "She used to tell me stories of the pirate king and his crew. Of his tales. His adventures."
Crocus just got more suspicious, who is this older sister that would know about their adventures? "What's her name, brat?"
"Pink Hibiscus." Luna said, "And she passed away when I was a kid after giving birth to a baby."
Pink Hibiscus? Was that even a name? Well, the marines didn't know anyone by that name. Neither did Crocus, but Pink Hibiscus was ringing bells, not of a name, but of something else. A person who loved this flower.
Luna watched with a smile when Crocus started to realize who she is talking about.
"Oh. So, she died," Crocus was not close to her, but his captain loved her, and from what Luna just said, she had given birth, meaning that his captain's child is living on.
"Now then, as a favour," Luna said, "I will be stopping the whale from trying to kill himself."
Crocus raised an eyebrow, "Alright?"
And she did, he was not sure how exactly, she just talked to a whale, and Laboon had seemed to understand her. And then at the end of the conversation, she promised that she will come back one day.
After that, they went to visit Drum Island before going to Alabasta. And in Drum Island they met a talking reindeer, Tony Tony Chopper, and he's just so adorable in Luna's opinion. It had reminded her of her baby sisters and she kept hugging him all the time, insisting that he joins them. He obviously declined; after all he wanted to become a pirate like how his father figure used to dream of becoming one. After fighting off the former king of the island, and protecting the flag that belonged to his father, a flag with a pirate skull drawn on, that's when it had become clear that Luna wasn't like normal marines, and he ended up joining them.
It was on the way to Alabasta, that Luna heard some interesting information from Tashigi.
"Smokey is dating someone?" Luna asked, making sure what she heard was true.
Tashigi nodded, "Now, normally I wouldn't be telling anyone this, because of who his girlfriend is, but I know that your view on pirates isn't actually bad."
Luna looked shocked, before smiling, "So he's dating a pirate? Oh wow. Smokey and I seem to have some things in common."
"Wait, what?" Tashigi asked, "You're dating a pirate? Who? Does Garp-san know?"
Luna grinned, "Now, I will keep quiet about Smokey dating a pirate, so no one should hear what I'm gonna tell you. And Smokey, you can come out of your hiding spot."
And just like that, Smoker walked out from around the corner, and settled beside his subordinate. Tashigi shifted slightly, knowing that her superior might be mad with her, but she did not expect Smoker's question of "Who is it?"
Luna smiled gently, eyes seemingly softer than before at the thought of her lover, "Marco."
"The Phoenix?" Tashigi hissed, glancing around the deck of the ship.
Luna waved her hand and Tashigi, dismissing her worries, "My crew knows, so no worries, they won't spell. And yes, the phoenix, we've been together for almost five years."
Tashigi looked shocked. Her friend has been dating a pirate for almost five years? That long? And she was clearly very happy too. She couldn't help the smile that grew on her face, "Well, you look happy."
"Then I hope he does make you happy," Smoker said, to which Luna nodded at him with a bright grin. "Does Garp know?"
"Yup!" Luna confirmed, "And he even approved!"
Smoker nodded, "Well, Marco the Phoenix isn't a bad choice of a partner. So, I approve for now too."
Luna smiled mischievously, "Ohhh~ so Smokey does care!"
"Shut it!"
"Sooo~ Who is the lucky girlfriend?"
"She's not actually my-" Smoker sentence was cut of my Tashigi replying with "Portgas D. Ann."
Luna blinked multiple times, trying to understand that Ann, her baby sister Ann, is dating one of Luna's friends. Ann is dating Smoker.
Tashigi took Luna's silence as confusion, "Portgas D. Ann is a pirate that seems to be under the government protection, there has been order that no bounties for her or her sister, which is surprisingly a revolutionary member, Sabrina. So, I'm not surprised you might not recognize her."
Luna nodded, "Uh-yeah. No, I recognize her. It's just... Surprising?"
Smoker sighed, "Tell me about it."
Tashigi giggled, "It's actually cute. Ann-san was actually the one to pursue Smoker-san. She told him since the beginning that she was interested in him."
Luna nodded, yeah, Ann would do that. I mean, Luna did the same thing, she literally asked our Marco in their first meeting. Sabrina most likely will do the same with whoever she fancies, if she hasn't already.
Then Luna finally took in everything, "Wait, Smokey, you said she isn't actually your girlfriend? I really hope you're not leading her on." She said, voice threatening.
Smoker rolled his eyes, "No, I told her when she asked me out that it won't work out, not only with our position, but as I don't want to do anything to a young girl."
"Ann-san said she doesn't care, and age shouldn't really be an issue as long as she consents and she isn't too young." Tashigi added.
Luna nodded, then a grin started growing on her face, "Congrats Smokey!" Luna can't wait for the day that this deal with the government is finished; she wants to tease Smokey for being her future brother-in-law.
That conversation had put Luna in a great mode. One of her sisters was in good hands, now Sabrina was left. She will need to check with her father soon for any developments with Sab.
After freeing Alabasta, Vivi had decided to stay in her kingdom, but not before Luna told her that Vivi will not be able to stay in contact with them for too long, as one day, Luna will be wanted.
Luna and Smoker got separated, each set on different missions. And that's when Luna and co. found out that Nico Robin, the devil child, had snuck aboard their ship. With one glance into her eyes, Luna had decided that Robin will join them, but this is to be kept a secret from the government for as long as they can.
They left and went to Skypea, since she had uncovered all of Crocodile's doings, she and her crew we rewarded by a short vacation, that she took that chance to go on an adventure. She had not expected to end up beating up a wannabe 'God' but she at least had enjoyed her stay there. Robin had ended up hearing tales of the. Sun God from the inhabitants of the sky island.
"Captain-san," Robin called out, "Do you know why you are called by the title Fenrir, after the god of wolves?"
Luna had looked up from her letter; she was writing a letter to Marco regarding her newest adventure. "They named me that as to show to the public that I am loyal to the government, or at least that's what Nii-chan thinks."
Robin blinked in surprise, she had already suspected that something was wrong with Luna since the crew was hiding Robin from the world government (Robin didn't care if she was found either way, she had lost her will to live, and the only reason she's with Luna is because she saved her, and if she was found and killed, it wouldn't matter to her. Not that Luna would allow that.) But Robin didn't know what Luna is to the government, and from her phrasing, Luna wasn't actually loyal to the world government.
"Captain-san. What do you mean to show to the public? Are you not actually loyal to the government?"
Luna stared in confusion at Robin, noticing that Chopper's attention was also drawn to their conversation, before realizing, "Oh! I never told you two why I joined the marines in the first place!"
The two newest members stared in confusion, while the rest sent them smiles or grins. "My loyalty was never with the marines; it has only been for my family. I have two sisters, both wanted by the government, so in exchange for their freedom, I work for them."
Robin's eyes widened in shock, it's no wonder Luna so willingly let Robin join since she doesn't actually follow the government's rules, but it also didn't make sense, "Won't me joining your crew affect your deal with them?"
Luna shrugged, "Well, all they would do is order me to kill you, I can refuse saying that I consider you as family, since those who are family to me are under protection of the world government."
Chopper moved to sit into Luna's lap, "So, will we stay with the marines forever?"
Luna shook her head, "Nah, this is just temporary. Nii-chan said that the government won't keep their deal for long."
"Then why make the deal in the first place?" Robin asked, her voice had a trace of anger. "You sold your freedom for what reason of your sisters won't stay under the protection of the government?"
Luna sent a grin towards Robin, one filled with determination, "To give them time to get stronger."
Robin blinked a few times, and then smiled gently at Luna, "I see. Well then, I have to add, that your older brother is most likely correct. With the name they gave you."
Luna frowned, hugging Chopper to herself, while the rest sat up in alert to look at Robin. "Isn't the name just to show the public I'm loyal?"
Robin shook her head, "That might not be the only reason. Did you know captain, that Fenrir is considered as a beast, and due to a prophecy regarding his attacking Odin, who is considered as the god of everything. Fenrir was chained up, not only due to the prophecy, but also due to his linage, as he is the child of Loki, the god of mischief and chaos. After trying to attack Odin, he had been beheaded."
Nami's face paled, "You're saying that in this situation, the government is Odin, and they set up Luna to be Fenrir, so that when they end their deal, and Luna attacks them, they would kill her, just like Odin did to Fenrir?!"
Robin nodded, "That is what I believe."
"Captain..." Zoro spoke, looking at Luna. She just smiled in return, "Well, I never really liked the title of Fenrir." She shrugged, "I am no Fenrir, and the government is no God."
Robin stared, not speaking after that, not saying that there were other titles, other gods that symbolize wolves... One of them being Apollo, the god of the sun.
