Water Seven and Enies Lobby!
The City of Water, Merry's Final Voyage and Nico Robin Officially Joins!
{No POV}
After turning all their crew's gold into Berris the Straw Hats sans Zoro, Chopper, Mia, Aisa, Robin, Midnight and Sanji all went to the Shipyard to find a shipwright and have someone look at the Merry.
While they did their thing, Mia with the company of Chopper and Aisa headed to a medical store to buy equipment to do ultrasounds so that they could be certain in two weeks' time that she was indeed carrying triplets.
When they bought all the equipment and took it back to the ship they headed back into the city and to a quaint tavern. There they saw the man they learned was called Franky and sat next to him as Mia was intrigued to observe him as she ate and read. The man was certainly interesting, Mia observed, his arms were in a weird shaped and his body carried a lot less water than a normal human body did.
Of course being Mia, they all followed him discretely out to his 'Franky House' and went inside where Mia quickly won him over and got his approval to examine his strange body and write her findings in her research journal. Aisa quickly made friends with the only two females of the Franky House and Chopper quickly won over the men.
When Mia saw Usopp rush in about to kill himself in a fight with a cyborg to get the Merry back Mia stepped in and punched his lights out.
"Chopper, please take him outside to the beach and keep him there. I'll deal with him as soon as I study these lovely people some more. I am getting a lot done and don't need Usopp mucking up my research." Mia said calmly and lazily as she quickly got back to work conversing and observing the people of the Franky House.
After a while, she finished her research on them and smiled gratefully at Franky.
"Thank you so much for your time! These results I gathered are great progress for me! I will be sure to thank you some time soon." Mia said picking up a sleeping Aisa and cradling her as an Aunt would.
"No problem little lady! Franky and The Franky Family are glad to have been able to be of service to such a beautiful young woman, and should you require any assistance from us in the future, do not hesitate to ask." Said Franky.
Mia smiled as she remembered.
"Actually, my crew's ship... From what I gathered from my comrade's memories, it can't be repaired?" Asked Mia.
Franky thought back and remembered the Merry's location guiding the woman to the ship in question and taking her carefully to see the damage that can't be fixed.
"This ship has obviously been loved greatly and cared for wonderfully... but this kind of damage is unfixable. Not even for the greatest shipwright in the world. This is the most important part of a ship's construction, if it breaks, there is no hope for the ship to last much time. I'd say that in all honesty you pirates were lucky to have made it here when you did. Had you gone any further past this place, you could have all ended up stranded out at sea..." Franky said sadly.
Mia frowned but understood it was the unavoidable truth as she herself now saw the damage.
"I took about 200,000,000 Berris from your friends earlier, and I feel bad about doing that now that I know how much love you all have for this ship. Which is why, when I make my dream ship with the wood I purchased with all of that money, it's all yours. You can have my dream ship and fulfill my dream of one day creating the ship that would make it to the end of the GrandLine and more..." Said Frankly gently.
Mia smiled.
"That's not my decision to make... but when the time comes, ask my Captain. In the meantime, I should get back to my comrades. We love the Merry, with all our hearts, but from what you just showed me, it's clear she needs rest... She's done so much for us, the least we can do is let her rest now..." Said Mia gently a couple tears escaping her as she left with an awake but silently crying Aisa.
Franky was then left to look over the ship in questioned silently.
"You have a lot of love... It's a real shame that you're so beaten down..." Franky admitted.
Then Iceburg slowly approached just as the Merry called to them.
They both got to work doing the best they could for her.
Meanwhile Mia, Aisa, Chopper and the others sans Usopp and Robin (who had been taken by CP9 appearantly) conversed and worked out a way to save Robin.
Then... Mayhem struck as Aqua Luna began... and they were forced to use the prototype of the Sea Train to head to Enies Lobby.
After a long train ride and various fights, they reached Enies Lobby and began to take down CP9 with extravagance that only the Straw Hats new to use.
As they stood on the edge of a rooftop across from where Robin stood with Spandam, they all smirked after Luffy said the magic question.
"SAY IT! SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE!" He finished.
Robin cried like she hadn't in years and sobbed before answering.
"PLEASE! SAVE ME! SAVE ME LUFFY! I WANT TO LIVE! TAKE ME WITH YOU!" She shouted.
The others smiled.
"WE'RE ON OUR WAY! HANG ON TIGHT!" Mia shouted back in unison with Zoro.
~As The Fighting Happens~
Mia smirked as she and Luffy ran into Rob Lucci.
"Captain. I'll give you and Franky an opening to go get our nakama back! I'll handle this guy. No killing right?"
"My orders from when you told us you're pregnant still stands! If needed do so." Said Luffy as him and Franky burst out the otherside while Mia toyed with Lucci.
So after they were gone she took off her jacket.
"So you're pregnant?" Asked Lucci coldly.
"Yes... But even pregnant, I'm more than capable of easily taking you down... So please, don't hold back on my account... I've been itching for a good fight, and I hope you can provide it." Mia said sweetly enough that it chilled Lucci to the bone.
'Just what is this woman? How is she so confident when she's pregnant?' He thought to himself as he tried and tried over and over again to attack her, particularly where her child was at only for his attacks to either faze through her as if he was attacking water or dodged effortlessly.
Then after about an hour she yawned as he finally bent down and panted in exhaustion.
'This woman... She's more of a monster than I am!' He thought fearfully to himself.
She then smirked coldly as she curled her finger towards herself.
Then he felt it, over whelming pain, his organs constricting and his body threatening to tear itself inside out. Her smirk only widened as he suddenly coughed up a large puddle of blood and collapsed onto his knees. She then approached her body now water.
"I heard you hurt my friends back on Water Seven... Big Mistake. I've reduced the amount of water in your body by only 5%. Consider that your mercy." She said coldly enough it made him fear his life.
Then everything faded to black as her water fist connected with his face.
He was alive, he could still tell that much from her words resounding in his mind as he blacked out, but he was aware that he had been defeated painfully easily by the pregnant woman.
When she was sure he was out cold she used the ocean water to cross over to the bridge and catch up with her Nakama, taking down Marines left and right until finally, they all heard her.
The Going Merry...
They listened and joined her soon sailing away with the Merry, ending up on a boat across from her as she finally broke and began to sink. They then finally sent her off.
After being taken by Iceberg and the shipwrights to water seven after the entire Buster Call and CP9 Debacle, they all celebrated like there was no tomorrow except for Mia who couldn't party much more than swimming a bit and conversing with the wallflowers.
She was now about two weeks along and her slight baby bump was more noticeable in her swimsuit. Her swimsuit being a bikini that showed off her curves, her hair loose and framing her face and body. Her bikini being a beautiful purple color with red and blue flowers on it, it was no surprised that her beauty attracted a lot of attention from everyone else there.
-And So!-
After 7 days of recovering...
With all the partying, fighting and an ultrasound for Mia everyone was taking the time to explore the city and get the things they needed.
Mia however was currently seated at the table in their room next to Luffy eating and reading. Luffy was eating a lot of food and bandaged up a lot, because of injuries from his fight with Spandam.
Then Garp The Hero Arrived.
"GRANDPA?!" Exclaimed Luffy in pain shocking everyone except for Mia.
After some interaction between Luffy and Garp, the former turned to the only quiet and disinterested person in the room in shock.
"You have a pregnant woman in your crew?! You damn brat! Why do you endanger their lives?!" Garps exclaimed scolding his grandson with his fist of love.
"Relax Garp-san...I decided to stay in the crew after I found out I was pregnant. It was my own personal choice to continue being a pirate. So please..." She said calmly before turning suddenly into demon doctor and somehow beating up Garp to be the same condition Luffy now was.
"DON'T HIT ONE OF MY PATIENTS! HE IS RECOVERING YOU IMBECILE!" Demon Doctor Mia.
"Y-yes Ma'am..." Said Garp apologetically.
"Good..." Mia replied turning back to calm reader mode.
'Pregnant Women... are not to be messed with..' Everyone else including Garp and Luffy thought grimly.
After a while Luffy and Zoro fought Helmeppo and Coby and Mia was smiling at the sight while Garp turned to her.
"So who's the father girly?" Asked Garp picking his nose.
Mia smiled.
"My husband Ace, we also have two adopted wolf pups. Midnight here and her twin Comet. Comet is currently with him..." Mia said.
Nami then scolded her for being too blunt.
Garp laughed.
"So Ace finally got married did he?! Good for him! It took my own son forever to do so! It'll probably take Luffy even longer!" Garp said.
"I'm already married!" Luffy said with a laugh.
"In that case you should've invited me and your father to the wedding idiot!" Garp scolded verbally.
"S-sorry!"
"Any other news you've neglected to tell me, Idiot Grandson?" Questioned Garp.
"My wife and I are expecting twins!" Luffy admitted.
Garp didnt respond for a while before he started gushing over Nami and Luffy and Nami's stomach.
Then they worked on repairing the wall the two of them while Garp talked.
"Oh! Your father said he saw you off at Loguetown some time back..." Garp said.
"I don't remember ever meeting him." Luffy admitted.
"Really? That's odd.. But then again Dragon was always very odd." Garp said.
"DRAGON?!" Exclaimed everyone except for Mia and Robin.
They began to sweat a bit.
"Who is that?" Asked Nami.
"Revolutionary Dragon. He's the big boss of the Revolutionary Army. He's very powerful and very mysterious! It's hard to believe he's our idiot captain's father... But now that I look closely there is no doubt." Mia admitted.
"Yes. He's a fearsome man, and Captain-san's grandfather is no one to sneeze at either. Garp The Hero. A very powerful and established Marine. He's a Marine Admiral." Robin admitted in agreement.
Everyone thought grimly about it.
"Oops... I probably shouldn't have told you about that." Garp said suddenly.
Everyone except Mia and Nami fell over in shock.
"Well... Our captain is no one to sneeze at either.. So I guess now we know where he gets it from." Mia said.
"His mother wasn't anyone to sneeze at either. She was a beautiful woman, but very terrifyingly powerful.. She gave me the creeps when she got angry. Sadly she died upon giving birth to Luffy. Poor Luna... She really didn't deserve the fate she got.." Garp admitted sadly as if it had been his own son that he lost.
"Grandpa?" Luffy spoke up hesitantly and sadly.
"Hn?" Answered Garp.
"Could you... tell me about Mom and Dad? You never tell me anything about them... I never met either of them... When Dad helped me out in Loguetown, I didn't really see him or anything like that..." Said Luffy sadly.
Garp noting his Grandson's point sighed and spoke.
"Your father and mother loved each other a lot... They met back on Dawn Island as kids and grew up together but fell in love as they grew. Luna had black hair and brown eyes along with your grin. You got your fathers eyes and nose. Your facial structure comes from your mom too for the most part. They were very happy together and when your mother was your age she became a pirate too, your father became a revolutionary at the same time. But soon, she left the pirate life behind and joined his slowly growing Army as his second in command. They married and invited me in secret, soon after Luna got pregnant, but she became very sick during the last stretch of her pregnancy. She fought strongly against the sickness, but she still died right after giving birth. She died happily, but your dad grew more and more depressed. He still held firm to his belief and continued to try and be a good father to you.. But then one of his enemies came after you, so for your safety he gave you to me and got rid of that enemy for good. So I took you to the Island after you were old enough to be on your own for long periods of time. It's not as though I could take you with me on my jobs as a Marine... You were really young, I only took you under my care because you needed to be taken somewhere safe. So I took you to Dawn Island since it's under my Protection. I tried to make you into a Marine over the years but you're too hard headed." Garp said.
Luffy smiled and hugged his grandfather.
"Hey Grandpa! After I become King of the Pirates, come to my wife and I's official ceremony! With Dad!" Said Luffy.
Garp smiled and then him and the Marines all left soon after that.
With that, they all got back to resting until the women from the Franky Family came in calling them to the shore for a surprise from Franky.
After seeing the ship they got to work.
"Thousand...Sunny?" Suggested Mia.
They all thought it over and agreed, soon spending the rest of the day gathering their things and resupplying anything they still had to resupply on.
The next day, they made a plan with the Franky Family to get Franky to join their crew as their shipwright.
They put into motion and soon Franky was on the ship with them as they sailed away!
Soon finding themselves in a Ghost Ship (?) face to face with a funny musical skeleton.
