Welcome back, everyone! Now, here's the first my first original expansion of the story as we follow-up with Nami's takeover and establish the MO going forward.

Little by little, Robin's mind cleared up. She felt sore all over and was immensely grateful for the comfortable mattress underneath her. She just wish that horrible dream would stop replaying in her mind…

"Hey, Robin? You awake?"

The ravenette looked to the side and saw Nami sitting at her bedside, a kind smile on her friend's face. Robin turned over and saw Carrot gently snoozing under the covers of her own bed.

"Yes, I'm awake," she answered, "I just had the most… Awful dream…"

"Oh? About what?"

And so Robin explained about the nightmare she could still vividly picture. About how Nami had somehow gotten the One Piece, gone completely mental, destroyed the ship and conscripted the entire crew on some insane plot of world domination. Carrot woke up halfway through the retelling, Nami pouring her some water just as she did for the archaeologist. By the end, Robin was almost laughing at it all.

Nami seemed to find it quite amusing as well. "Hehe, wow, what did you eat last night? That sounds crazy!"

Carrot chuckled along and Robin had a small smile. It did sound totally ridiculous, didn't it? Like Nami could or even would do any of that! She'd just check with Sanji to make sure she wasn't given anything too spicy tonight and then it'd be smooth sailing on the…

Robin's eyes suddenly went wide in terror. "Nami?"

"Yes, Robin?"

"This isn't the ship."

"No, it isn't."

"HUH?!" Carrot whipped around and indeed the three ladies were not in the ladies' quarters on the Thousand Sunny. She and Robin were in two iron-frame beds like something out of an old hotel in a dome-shaped room with white and blue tiles lining the walls and bright blue carpet on the floor. The left wall was dominated by a massive glass window several feet wide that let in crystal blue skies and sunshine.

"Where are we?!"

"This is Weatheria, the island I trained on when Kuma separated us all two years ago," Nami explained, still perfectly calm even as Carrot rushed to the window. Sure enough, the Mink saw the ground outside was as white as her coat and the ocean was a distant stretch of blue miles below.

"We're in the sky!"

"Yes, we are. Thanks to my Port-Port Fruit, I can teleport anywhere I've previously been AND I can take people and things with me as long as I touch them! Isn't that convenient?"

Neither Robin nor Carrot could answer as Nami made a clone of herself. "I'm gonna go check on the guys and see if they're still awake. Breakfast should be soon, the guys around here are kind of lazybones!"

As the duplicate walked out the door, that left two terrified ladies with Nami who was all smiles and cheer.

"Nami… You…"

"Yes, Robin, everything you dreamt was real. I'm still Queen of the Pirates and I'm dead serious on my dream. And you are going to help me."

"LIKE HELL I AM!" Robin crossed her arms under her chest and prepared to summon the biggest set of arms she could to crush Nami into paste only for something to wrap around her neck. Robin glanced down and groaned at the irony. Nami had summoned her own arm to throttle her.

"I suggest you cooperate, Robin," Nami said, her voice even but dangerous, "Otherwise, you won't like what happens next. If I could crush Luffy, do you really think you stand a chance?"

"N-N-N-Nami…"

"It's okay, Carrot, I won't hurt you as long as you don't step out of line." As Robin reluctantly put her arms down, the arm sprouting from th top of her spine disappeared and the archaeologist sat herself down on her bed.

"Okay, so let's assume we do follow you," Robin asked, "What do we get out of it?"

"Whatever you want."

The woman and the Mink turned to each other, in shock and disbelief. Robin's glare returned. "I want you to rebuild our ship and let Luffy be captain again."

Nami just chuckled. "Okay, whatever you want as long as you still follow me."

"Is this your idea of a joke?! Do you think we'd ever follow you now?! You betrayed us all, attacked us! What happened to us being obstacles?!"

"You were then, but not anymore. Now you can all be part of my dream!"

Robin had to swallow exactly what Nami could be a part of, but remained calm. "Okay, on the purely hypothetical chance that I would ever listen to you again, what is there to gain by aligning with you?"

Nami answered that by placing her hand on Robin's forehead. The archaeologist was about to order her away when she yelled in pleasure. Power! Unbelievable power flooded through her body!

"W-What is this?! It's incredible!"

"The One Piece allows me to copy and perfectly replicate any and all abilities from anyone touch, alongside their strength, speed, stamina, and the like. And it just so happens, I can grant those same abilities to anyone else."

Nami spawned a hand on Carrot's chest that reached up and touched the Mink's head. The rabbit girl oohed in wonder as her mind tingled with new information. Suddenly she could perform surgery and knew of hundreds of diseases along with their cures and treatments. Then she found an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge on the construction and operation of boats. If she held a violin, Carrot could play a dozen gorgeous melodies without even trying.

"HUH?! You have their knowledge too?!"

"Yep. I'm as good a cook as Sanji. I can build ships as well as Franky. And I can fluently read Poneglyphs."

Robin gaped at her. "You can?! Then that means-!"

"Don't worry, Robin. I won't take your dream, you can still be the one to discover whatever the World Government wants to hide."

She then sat behind the older woman, massaging her shoulders as she whispered in her ear. "And just imagine what it'll be like… We can storm into Marine bases, rob them blind and take any and all fruits we find. We'll go through battleships like they're bath toys. And if I get my hands on an Admiral…"

Robin let out a moan at the thought. Deep down, she could feel the burning hatred she had for the World Government being stoked. The very thought of Aokiji being melted by magma and Akainu frozen solid made a very dark, repressed part of her mind laugh.

A second Nami then appeared next to Carrot, cradling her paws with an eye of wonderment. "And just think! We'll go all the islands of the sea! Across all the Blues, we'll see everything the world has to offer. We'll just take everything of value along the way and claim them as my territory."

Carrot suddenly found the whole idea much more agreeable, plus it wasn't like she wasn't getting what she wanted anyway. Maybe it was all of the new information buzzing in her mind but the Mink was starting to truly see things from a new perspective.

"However, before we move on and do any of that, I'm going to make one thing VERY clear…"

The two Namis placed a hand on each woman's forehead again and both felt their breath being taken away. All the new power Robin possessed was gone in an instant, leaving her muscles feeling horribly weak. Carrot's head pounded as all of that information was siphoned out.

"I am the Queen. You both are my crew. You serve me, you follow my every command, and you let absolutely nothing and no one convince you otherwise. Obey, and you'll be rewarded with powers, riches and maybe an island to call your own. Disobey, and I can take it all away in an instant. And if either of you even consider double-crossing me…"

"We won't!" Carrot piped up, "We'll do anything you say! Honest, Captain!"

The Nami clone gave an approving smile, rewarding Carrot with a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek. "Exactly how it should be."

The original looked at Robin and could see her mind turning. The revenge on the government that hounded her for so long, the answers to the mysteries of the world, and more power than she could ever dream of. It was all there for the taking and yet Nami could sense her doubt. Thankfully, she had just the thing to convince her.

"Robin?"

"Yes, Na-Captain?"

"Already knowing who's in charge. I knew she was smart…"

"That strength I just granted you?"

"Yes?"

"That was about… ten percent of what I'm capable of."

The ravenette's eyes bolted open. That was a tenth of Nami's strength now?! Her mind raced. Just what the hell would it all feel like?! No wonder she changed so much!

"And while I'd never make you as strong as me, I could reward you in… Other ways…"

Now Robin was confused. Why did Nami sound seductive? That confusion morphed into her mind shouting the loudest "WHAT?!" imaginable as Nami kissed her. No warning, no gentle leaning in. The redhead had snatched up her lips and was moaning in delight at the taste.

Robin jerked her head back, baffled. "Nami?! What are you-!?"

"Robin, I think it's pretty obvious what I'm doing. The question is why. And the answer?"

Nami leaned up to Robin's ear. "Because ever since I first saw you on the Going Merry, in that sexy as hell purple corset, I've wondered how big your fat tits are and what your tight little pussy tastes like…"

"N-N-Nami…" Robin couldn't think anymore. The lust in the woman's voice was palpable. Of course, Robin had been complemented by many men and a handful of women. None of them were ever so bold and daring.

"As Queen, I think it's only fair that I have someone take care of my urges. And since men do nothing for me, I need a Bride. But it'll be reserved for only my best subject, or subjects. So, what do you say?"

Robin couldn't think, couldn't speak. All she could think about was the fingers cradling the back of her head, and how they could easily snap her neck. About how Nami was so far above her and that somehow turned her on like nothing else. All she could do was nod, Nami's smile only growing wider.

"Excellent. Now then, breakfast should be ready and the boys should be joining us shortly."

(Break)

Within fifteen minutes, what used to be the Straw Hat Pirates were assembled in the house's main dining hall. Nami sat at the head of the massive table with Robin and Carrot to her sides. While the ladies were happily eating the pancakes and eggs prepared for them, the men were in much worse spirits. All of them were dead silent. The only exceptions were Sanji who complimented the chef and Usopp asking why all of the girls were suddenly acting like best friends.

"That's because we've come to an understanding," Robin answered, "A shame you didn't see it the same way."

"You mean betraying everything we've worked for?" Zoro snarled, on his eighth tankard of booze already, "I don't know what the hell she told you, but I'm not buying it."

"Yeah, guys, what happened to being friends?!" Chopper yelled, "We were supposed to find the One Piece together!"

"Well, Chopper, things change," Nami said nonchalantly, "But you can all still do great things! For one, you can still pursue curing all the diseases in the world. You'll just be doing it as the head of my R&D department!"

"And if he refuses?" Jinbe asked.

"Then we'll eventually find him, seize his research and he'll have to work that much harder to prove his loyalty to me."

"The hell is wrong with you, lady?!" Franky blurted, "We aren't just gonna be mooks in your crazy scheme!"

"Oh, you will, Franky. After all, you built the second-ever ship to sail the entirety of the Grand Line. And I only want the best for my new vessel. I'm thinking a battleship, plenty of gold leaf, about a hundred cannons on each side… It'll be the perfect flagship for my battalion."

"What, do you want to wage war with the Marines?!"

"Them and everyone else who opposes me. That is my right as Queen of the Pirates."

"Bullshit…"

Everyone's glance jerked towards Luffy, his arms crossed and refusing to even touch the food in front of him. He glared so deeply that he might end up breaking his eyebrows. The very air around him shimmered in rage.

"Now Luffy, that's no way to talk to someone…" Robin admonished only for the ex-captain to snort in anger.

"I can't believe you, Robin. You and Carrot were my friends too! And now you're just gonna ditch me for Nami and hurt tons of people?! Why?!"

"Watch your tone, Luffy," Carrot warned, "You don't want to make Captain Nami upset."

"SHE'S NOT THE CAPTAIN! I AM!"

"You were," the redhead corrected, "And I defeated you. Trial by combat and all that."

"More like mutiny," Brook glowered, "It's such a shame when a band of brothers turns on itself…"

"Tomato, to-mah-to," she shrugged, pissing the others off more, "And now that you guys have had some time to think it all over, let me try this again: join my crew and be rewarded."

"No," they all answered, making Nami shake her head.

"I didn't need Observation to see how that was going. Well then, perhaps you all need a little more coercion. Robin. Carrot."

Both women stood immediately, turning to her with a bow. "Yes, Captain?"

"I've decided what my first act of piracy will be. Come here and I'll equip you both properly."

Both women obliged and Nami let different skills flows into them. The men were all baffled only for Robin to quickly grab Soul Solid from Brook and make a few masterful practice swings. Carrot's legs caught fire as she triggered the Diable Jambe.

"What the…?!"

"How?!"

"You little thief!"

"Oh, gee, it's not like that's how I made my living beforehand," Nami rolled her eyes, "Now then, my crew, let us begin our first operation as… Huh, I never thought of a name for us."

"What, you aren't the Nami Pirates?" joked Zoro.

"No, I always hated crews that just named themselves after their captain. It's just so lazy…"

"The Goddess Pirates?" Robin proffered.

"Excellent idea! Simple, but very telling." Nami rewarded her underling with a long, sensual kiss on the lips that made Robin moan and the guys all drop their jaws in shock.

"Alright, Goddess Pirates! Move out and capture any and all weather mages! I want this island under my control within the hour!"

They both bowed and left out of one of two doorways out of opposite walls, Robin to the left and Carrot the right. Nami, for her worth, simply sat down back at her seat and resumed her breakfast. The men wondered what she was doing only for screams of panic and shockwaves to rock the walls.

To the left was Robin, utilizing Brook's sword fighting to strike down any and all mages she came across. She made sure her cuts were only surface level, knowing her captain wanted any and all captors alive. They begged for mercy, wondering how one of Nami's own friends could attack them like this but Robin never answered their pleas.

"I knew the world was cruel, cold place for so long," she thought, casually strolling through the halls to seek out any other prisoners, "I remember that Alabastan tomb where I surrendered myself to death. I felt so powerless then…"

Her new Observation Haki could feel the pair of bearded men in cloaks sneaking behind her. She chuckled at how easy this was, rushing forward as a dozen slices cut down the wall and left the two Weatherians shivering fear.

"I will never be weak again… I'll uncover this world's secrets and give the rest to my Queen…"

In the other half of the palace, Carrot was taking a much more violent path as she barreled down walls. With her new mastery of the Black Leg, the solid stone fell like pieces of paper. The rabbit girl felt all restrictions leave her mind, it felt so good to wield this power. The mages were pathetic opponents, at best activating some Wind Knots to try and slow her down. But thanks to the additional strength and speed Nami granted her (about fifteen percent of her own), she could rush against the squalls and slice the ropes with her gauntlets.

"I'm so strong like this! It's like I'm invincible! What will happen on the next full moon?!"

And all the while, Nami calmly sat back and waited until twenty minutes later when Robin and Carrot returned to the main dining hall. Behind each of them were dozens upon dozens of islanders, all of them trembling in fear and many sporting bruises and scratches.

"Nami?! What is the meaning of this?!" an elderly wizard in blue demanded, "When we agreed to house your friends, that didn't give them free reign to attack us!"

"Oh, Haredas, you were too kind to me when I needed you all. And that's why I've granted you all a prestigious honor…"

An arm sprung along every mage's body and tapped their forehead, Nami relishing as a wave of new knowledge entered her mind. Her already prodigious understanding of weather evolved into completely mastery, along with the knowledge of all the various properties of the fabled Weather Balls.

"From this day forward, this island is my domain! Weatheria shall serve as the base of the Goddess Pirates, and all of its citizens are now under my control! Anyone who crosses me will be killed!"

"Nami… Why are you doing this?" her tutor asked tearfully, "What could possibly be worth all of this?"

"Don't take it too personally, old man. The rest of the world will follow in time…" Nami stood from her seat and turned to her new crewmates, "Carrot, there's a large antechamber on the lowest floor of this building. Escort the mages down there and guard them. Punish anyone who escapes with impunity."

The Mink bowed before leashing a mighty burning kick, forcing the mages to run towards their new dungeon or face her wrath.

"Robin, gather up all of the Weather Ball plants and any other inventions they have lying around. I want a full stock of our arsenal."

"At once, Captain." The archaeologist left to follow her orders, leaving the men of the disbanded Straw Hat Pirates gawping in terror.

"You… Just conquered an island…"

"Well, to be fair, Jinbe, these guys are one-trick ponies when it comes to their society. They literally have no infrastructure, currency, legal system or even any form of military. Taking over this place would have probably been doable by myself without the One Piece. But oh well, that's in the past. I'm looking towards the future! And all of you will have a role to play in it…"

First she approached the whale shark-man. "You shall act as an enforcer of mine. If an island steps out of line, you'll be dispatched to correct any issues."

"I have but one request…"

"I will be taking Fish-Man Island. Consider this a blessing. If any other morons like Hody Jones show up, you'll be the one to filet them."

The fishmen bowed, appreciating that at least his home wouldn't ever have to worry about slavers again even if they might have to pay exorbitant taxes. Nami moved on to Franky, the cyborg glaring over his shades.

"You will be my shipwright, of course. Once we have the materials, you will construct me a ship worthy of my stature. A shame you still don't have the Pluton blueprints."

"That ship… Should never be built." He was silenced by a sucker punch to the gut that forced him to the floor.

"Watch your tone. I can easily have you scrapped and just conquer Water 7."

Next, she moved onto Sanji. A part of her did appreciate that he wasn't twirling around like a lovesick idiot singing her praises anymore. He even flinched as she approached, holding a hand to the gauze covering his chest.

"You will henceforth be my personal chef, preparing the best cuisine for me and my crewmates only."

"But… The others…"

"They'll be served gruel and like it. They should be grateful they don't starve. And I won't tolerate you sneaking them anything, understand?"

The blonde laid his head down on the table and cried, now cursing his inability to fight back against women even more than in Enies Lobby. Nami paid him no mind and walked up Zoro and Luffy, the two giving her stares so severe they would've made a lesser person keel over.

"You two with both be instructors to my army. Luffy will teach them about close quarters combat while Zoro will specialize in swordplay. You'll also jointly teach them the usage of Haki."

Luffy raised his fists while Zoro readied his blades. Nami just casually went Gear Second and laid both pirates flat in a moment.

"You both will learn your place soon enough," she warned before stomping over to Usopp, the sniper clearly shaking in his chair.

"You will be the head of my weapons development team. Your first job is to make me a replacement Clima-Tact, one that can properly utilize the Weather Balls since I no longer have Zeus."

"Ehm, aren't you, ya know, super powerful enough?"

"There is no such thing as too much power, Usopp. I'll have your things brought to a spare workshop to use."

The long nose groveled for a bit as Nami strolled over to Chopper, the reindeer sneaking pancakes off of other plates.

"You will eventually head my medical ward and heal my soldiers. Along the way, I want you to look into the panacea you've dreamed of. In fact, Robin told me about a lead in Dressrosa I'll look into."

"R-Really? That… Doesn't sound too bad…"

"Oh, you will find life to be very easy as long as you remember my main policy: I reward competence and punish failure. Serve me well, and you'll be rewarded. The same goes for Robin and Carrot. I am many things, but a hypocrite is not one of them."

She then turned to the one person she hadn't addressed: Brook. The skeleton crossed his arms and for once had nothing to laugh about. "I'm not playing anything."

"Good, because I don't need a musician. I do have somewhere for you to go…" Nami then placed a hand on Brook's skull and ported away.

"BROOK, NO!" Luffy tried to rush forward, heedless of the thrashing he'd just gotten. Zoro and Sanji both held him back, insisting that he can't do anything now that she's already gone. Nami jumped back a moment later.

"Where is he?! Where'd you take him?!"

"Twin Cape, so he could reunite with Laboon."

The others all paused. She gave Brook exactly what he wanted? What was the catch? Nami could see their skepticism and scoffed.

"He and Laboon will act as a toll booth, charging ships a fee for passage into the Grand Line down the road. For now, he'll simply have some downtime. I may be powerful but I don't practice wanton cruelty. And I hope all of you remember that. Usopp, follow me to your new workspace. The rest of you, return to your room."

The long-nose did as told and followed Nami through the now deserted halls of Weatheria, creeped out by how quiet the place has become. She opened what had clearly been a laboratory for a weather mage, a few Weather Ball plants sitting in pots near a desk with all of his tools salvaged from the Thousand Sunny.

"I'll be checking on your progress daily," Nami warned, "Who knows? I might even pay you if the results are satisfactory."

Nami then shut the door behind him, leaving Usopp with little option but to start figuring out these plants. At least he did notice several books and scrolls to start reading first.

The queen herself then strode back up to her room where Robin was standing in front of a pile of the mage's research and inventions.

"So, what do we have here?"

"An exceptional stock of work, my captain. We could make an entire meteorological arsenal with all of this."

"An excellent first step, I would say," Nami agreed as she sauntered over, blatantly staring at Robin's chest the whole time, "But obviously just the three of us isn't enough. We need a proper crew, I need commanders… among other things.

"Say no more, captain…" Robin reached up and unbuttoned her blouse, "I will be your first Bride. Please, use my body however you want."

Nami wasted no time, exploring the body of her secret crush of many years. And after many hours of asserting her will in another, addicted to how Robin's voice hitched and the taste of her nectar, Nami thought one thing when she went to bed that night.

"It's good to be the queen…"

So, who will end up joining the newly named Goddess Pirates? Well, obviously the ones the original author listed but who says I can't sprinkle a few more in? Stay tuned!

Thank you all so much for reading! Feel free to leave a review along with any questions or comments.
