Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. One Piece is written by Eiichiro Oda and aired as a series by Toei Animation in Japan and by 4Kids Entertainment in 2004 before Funimation took over in 2007 for North America.


A blonde haired male was seen walking towards the throne room where Queen Serenity IV and her allies were holding court. He didn't know why the queen called for him since he was simply an owner to a bar/restaurant. With his teal-blue eyes, he glanced around him just in case he was followed. He knew that Sailor Uranus would not be pleasant if he were to be followed when her instructions was to be discreet. The male straightened his back as he finally got to the throne room and breathed in a deep breath. With a knock on the door, he waited for a response from within. "Come in," called out a female voice.

"You wish to see, Serenity-joōsama," questioned the male as he opened the door.

"Hai," said Queen Serenity, "Come in and introduce yourself, Motoki-kun."

"A-Ah," said the now known Motoki.

Motoki blinked as he saw the full room assembled in front of him. He was surprised that his majesty was in a middle of what looked like a war council. Wincing at the thought of being in war, Motoki looked around the room. He spotted some of the Ace's pirate crew, the Spade Pirates, along with Ace and Sabo. He then turned to see some of the Whitebeard Commanders, the ones who couldn't see how they had hurt Ace as they kidnapped and restricted his freedom long ago. He turned a bit to see Luffy who had an arm wrapped around Serenity-hime, with Hotaru standing vigilantly behind Serenity. He turned some more to see Luffy's pirate crew, the Strawhats, but saw that they were missing their Sniper. Once more, he looked at the assembled Navy officers, Revolutionaries, and other kingdom's royalty before his eyes settled onto one person: Mamoru. "Mamoru-san," questioned Motoki in surprise.

"Hai," said a sheepish Mamoru.

"I am guessing that you know him, young man," questioned Dragon gruffly.

"I… uh," stuttered out Motoki after realizing his mistake.

"It's fine, 'Toki-," said Serenity, "They know that you know."

"Yeah," laughed Luffy, "Relax and let us explain!"

"It's not a laughing matter, Lu," said Sabo.

Motoki could still tell that Sabo wanted to laugh as well. He knew the kids well when he was a teenager on Silver Moon Kingdom Island. He could tell that Ace and Sabo were super overprotective of Luffy back in the day. To this day, he could still see that they were their overprotective selves, especially when you add Serenity and Hotaru into the mix. He could recall that Ace also burnt down a building just because Serenity was almost kidnapped. That was the day that Ace found out he still had fire powers, but with the planet Mars as a power instead of his devil fruit. Shaking mentally, Motoki could see everyone staring at him. "Why are you amused," questioned Nami.

"Well," said Motoki, "I just know these people very well. In fact, I was just recalling to myself how Ace found out that his fire powers were still there, but backed up by a planetary power and not practiced at all."

"I said I was sorry to that bartender," grumbled Ace who flushed a bit.

"We know," said those that knew of the incident.

"This I have GOT to hear," said Sabo in amusement.

"I would tell you," said Motoki, "Demo, I think Serenity-joōsama has called me into this room for something?"

Everyone froze at what Motoki said. They did INDEED ask Motoki to come to the throne room to help with a situation they are facing. Apparently, being an older brother of sorts to the ASL siblings left everyone in wonder and had forgotten why they called him in the first place. Ace and Sabo even looked flustered at forgetting what was going on due to this being their older brother figure and wanting to talk with him like they usually do. They could also remember how they all met Motoki that one time…

- Flashback –

"Where are we going," questioned Sabo.

For the rest of their stay, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy were following Serenity and Hotaru around Serenity and Hotaru's home. They were surprised how peaceful it was. Sabo was also surprised by how the people would greet them all kind like. It was far different from the nobles he grew up in if they ever ventured into town; that was for sure. Ace was even awed by how these people were treating him… like a kid. They didn't even see the shabby clothes his brothers and he were wearing. They just saw a kid walking around with other kids. Luffy, on his part, was bouncing around and taking stock on what they were looking at. He, however, didn't venture that far from his potential fiancée. "Don't worry," said Serenity, "It's a fun surprise!"

"I'm sure you don't even have this kind of thing in Foosha," said Hotaru.

"I'm sure that we do," said a pouting Luffy.

"I bet that you don't," said Hotaru.

"Bet," questioned Ace.

"Un," nodded Hotaru, "I bet that Luffy has never seeing something like where we are going."

"If Luffy loses," questioned Sabo worriedly.

"He has to," started Hotaru before pausing, "Ah… I'll think of something."

Ace and Sabo were worried. Sure, they knew that Luffy grew up in Foosha before living in Mt. Colubo with them. They also didn't know what Foosha has in the village as well. Ace and Sabo, however, could see Serenity and Hotaru having knowing looks as they walked down another street just to get to this so-called place. Once there, the ASL brothers looked at the establishment in front of them. They could tell it was like Makino's bar, but they had a feeling that there was more to it than just a bar and restaurant. As the five stepped into the establishment, Luffy, Ace, and Sabo were floored when they saw what was inside. Just like with Makino's place, there was a bar area for the adults, but there was a family friendly air around the restaurant. The thing that shocked them, however, was another part of the restaurant. "SUGE," shouted Luffy.

"W-What is all of this," questioned Ace.

"Are those machines," questioned Sabo curiously.

"They are indeed machines," said another male voice, "Demo, they are not just any machines. They are game machines for children to play."

When they heard an unfamiliar voice behind them, the ASL brothers quickly turned around and got into defensive stances. There, before them, was a male teen that was slightly older than Ace and Sabo by four years. Luffy could see the kind teal-blue eyes staring at the three, the male teen never stopping his grin. The three weren't quick enough to stop Serenity and Hotaru as the girls passed the boys in speed and barreled into the male teen. Luffy puffed his cheeks out at how happy Serenity was to be with another male that wasn't his brothers and him. He was going to march up there and give this teen a piece of his mind, but Sabo and Ace gripped his shoulders to stop him. His brothers knew him so well that it wasn't hard to restrain Luffy while watching the girls hug the male teen. "'Toki-kun," exclaimed Hotaru.

"Nice to see you too, 'Taru-chan," said this 'Toki, "And you too, Sere-chan."

"Do you have any new games or songs for us, 'Toki-kun," questioned Serenity.

"No new games, I'm afraid," said 'Toki, "Demo, we do have new songs for you and your new friends to try out. And speaking of new friends…?"

"This is Portgas D. Ace," said Hotaru who pointed at Ace, "And this is Sabo."

"Sabo doesn't like his last name, so he's decided to say Ace and he are twins," said a not so whisper from Serenity.

"And this is…," started Hotaru who was interrupted.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy," proclaimed Luffy, "And I am going to be!"

Before Luffy could finish his proclamation, Ace and Sabo jumped on top of Luffy and covered his mouth. They didn't need this male teen to know what their dreams are, which is being pirates in the open seas. They also didn't need Luffy to shout out that he wants to be King of the Pirates to a stranger as well. They, however, all saw how Serenity and Hotaru were being with this 'Toki person, wondering just who he actually was. "Mina," said Serenity, "This is Furahata Motoki."

"He owns this establishment with his family," informed Hotaru.

"He's also the greatest babysitter a girl could ask for," said a happy Serenity.

"Babysitter," chorused the ASL brothers.

"Un," nodded the two girls enthusiastically.

"Especially when we get to hang out at his arcade and karaoke place for free," cheered Serenity.

"So, Luffy," said a coy Hotaru, "Does Foosha have something like this?"

Ace and Sabo could tell that Luffy indeed lost this so-called bet Hotaru had against him. They, as smart 10-year-olds, knew that Luffy didn't stand a chance since they were IN a different home island other than their own. There were always going to be a bunch of differences between the two. Shaking their heads, Ace and Sabo studied this Motoki person and deemed him alright for a teenager. They didn't know how to actually act around a person whose personality is very kind and caring. It wasn't like the Dadan bandits were like this person's personality when they were being watched by them. "So, arcade games," questioned Sabo.

"Yup," said Motoki, "We have all sorts of arcade games, including claw machines and a Dragon Ball Z game."

"What's Dragon Ball Z," questioned a curious Ace.

"Serenity hasn't shown you her manga yet," questioned Motoki in surprise, "I was sure that she would talk your ears off of her favorite manga titles."

"We went here because someone decided that Sere was going to marry him," said ,Hotaru, "She needed to de-stress."

"Who would be bold enough to do that," questioned a surprised Motoki.

"Luffy," said two brothers with deadpanned looks.

"Me," cheered Luffy while he laughed cheerfully.

Motoki blinked in surprise by the admission Luffy said. He knew that the queen wasn't even thinking about arranging a marriage to Serenity, but here was a little boy that said differently. No wonder Hotaru brought them all here before Serenity could tell them more about herself. At least, Serenity will have fun with the karaoke machine. Motoki smiled at that thought because he knew that Serenity loves to sing her heart out. He looked at the other children to see that they didn't even know what arcade games were. He hoped that at least they will be kids within his family's restaurant/bar. "How about a round of free arcade games and karaoke," questioned Motoki with a smile.

"Hontō," questioned Luffy with stars in his eyes.

"Ah," said Motoki with a smile, "I'm sure you'll love what we have here."

"Let's do karaoke first," said a happy Serenity.

"Why should we," said Ace with a scrunched up nose.

"Why wouldn't we," questioned Hotaru back, "Besides, karaoke is fun! Unless…"

"Unless," questioned Sabo with trepidation.

"Unless you are too chicken to sing in front of us," said Hotaru with a smug look on her face.

"Who are you calling a coward," scoffed Ace.

With that, Ace and Hotaru were arguing back and forth while unknowingly to Ace, Hotaru was leading him into a karaoke room. Luffy laughed his signature laugh again before rushing into the room to find songs that he would like to sing too. Sabo sighed at how typical Ace was when presented with a challenge. He looked at Motoki sheepishly and cautiously, but Serenity was the one who grabbed Sabo's hand. "Come on, Sabo-kun," said a happy Serenity, "We're going to be the last ones to sing!"

"A-Ah," said Sabo who looked behind him to see Motoki going back to the counter and wiping it down.

"You don't have to be afraid of Motoki-kun," said Serenity to Sabo, "He's very trustworthy. He'll always keep your secrets close to his heart and always look out for you… kind of like an onīchan (older brother)."

"Onīchan, huh," questioned Sabo before…

"Come on, Sabo," said Luffy, "I want to hear Ace sing!"

"L-LUFFY," shouted an embarrassed Ace from within the room.

"Let's go, Sere," said Sabo who subconsciously gave Serenity a nickname, "I can't wait to hear Ace sing!"

- End Flashback –

'Technically,' thought Sabo with amusement, 'It was Sere-imōto that gave me the idea of Motoki as an onīsan.'

"Sabo," whispered Ace in Sabo's ear.

"Eh," whispered Sabo back.

"Pay attention," whispered Ace back with a smug look on his face.

Sabo flushed slightly as he knew that Ace wasn't paying much attention to the meeting as well. It wasn't his fault that he was in memory lane about 'Toki-. It was just a good thing that no one was paying attention to Sabo's far away expression. He was also glad that it was, to his embarrassment, Ace that only saw his look… or so he thought. Serenity and Hotaru sent knowing smiles at Sabo and Ace's back before turning back to the conversation at hand. "Ah, gomen," said Queen Serenity, "We were just surprised that you know Mamoru here."

"Mamoru-kun sometimes visits with Lu and Sere at the restaurant," said Motoki.

"And speaking of your restaurant," said Dragon, "Would we assume that you are Motoki? Furahata Motoki?"

"Uh," said Motoki with curious eyes, "Hai? Did I not introduce myself to you all?"

"Īe," said Robin, "Demo, I am sure that sencho and the others were leading the conversation in a different way."

"A-Ah," said Motoki, "Anyways, boku wa Furahata Motoki (I am Motoki Furahata)."

"Then, Furahata-san," said Sengoku, "We have need of your expertise."

"Ah, hai," said Motoki in a questioning tone.

- A Week Later –

"Silver Moon Kingdom Island," called out Queen Serenity through her microphone, "Are you ready for the final task?!"

"YEAH!"


AN: This chapter is solely on Motoki, the greatest brother figure to grace us in Sailor Moon! (⺣◡⺣) I was always going to have Motoki have a role ever since I introduced him in the Spade Pirates' reunion chapter. Just didn't know how to incorporate into my story… until now! o(^▽^)o I hope that you like this chapter, even though it is surrounded by the ASL brothers meeting Motoki than an actual meeting between Motoki and the others. ┐(´∀`;)┌ But, now we are going into the final task between Mamoru and Luffy. Hopefully, I will bring justice to the climatic part of the story. (〃 ̄ω ̄〃)ゞ Anyways, happy reading and see ya in the next chapter… whenever that would be. |ω・)و ̑̑༉
