-A few days earlier on a marine ship-
"Tashigi!" Smoker yelled. Tashigi was inside admiring a rare sword until Smoker bellowed "TASHIGI!"
"AH! Yes Captain!" she shrieked as she ran out the door. "You want some coffee?!" she asked before falling down the stairs all over herself.
"I DON'T WANT COFFEE!" he yelled in annoyance. "GET UP HERE YOU SWORD FREAK!"
"Yes Captain Smoker!" she said before joining Smoker and another marine. "What's wrong?"
"We intercepted this phone conversation on the Black Den Den Mushi!" the marine said. "With your permission Ma'am!"
"Go ahead!" Tashigi said. The marine then played the phone conversation back as they listened to it. Most of it was static before the call ended. "Did they say Straw-Hat? Like the Straw-Hat Pirates?!" Tashigi asked.
"Correct." Smoker said. "It was too far away to intercept everything, but we can clearly make out four keywords. 'Princess Vivi. Straw-Hat. Mr. 0.' and 'Orders'."
"Could this Mr. 0 have something to do with this strange man called Mr. 11 we caught yesterday?" Tashigi asked as she pointed at a strange man tied to the mast of the ship.
"Possible." Smoker said. "If that's their codenames and they talk about carrying out orders, we may be dealing with a secret criminal organization."
"What are you talking about?" Mr. 11 said.
"Deny all you want." Smoker said. "The letter we found in your pocket is all the proof we need."
'SHIT! I THOUGHT I BURNED THAT!' Mr. 11 thought as he began to sweat. "Actually, that letter-"
"That letter...doesn't exist." Smoker said, causing Mr. 11 to cry from being fooled. Both he and Tashigi spoke about Princess Vivi and the problem in her country before Smoker decided to see himself. "Contact HQ. Send a request for an Eternal Pose to Alabasta." he said to a marine.
"Yes sir!" said the marine before running off. Smoker looked out at the sea with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Something wrong Captain Smoker?" Tashigi asked.
"Have you ever heard of the Goa Incident?" he asked.
"The Goa Incident?" Tashigi asked. "I've read about it. It seems that the mysterious man who attacked the Kingdom has been identified as Straw-Hat Luffy."
"Correct." Smoker said. "First the Goa Kingdom of Dawn Island in East Blue. Now the Sand Kingdom of Alabasta."
"Do you think Straw-Hat has something against royalty?" Tashigi asked. Smoker just stayed quiet for a moment before looking at her.
"I don't know. But whatever it is, I'll have him tell me after we arrest him and his crew." Smoker said.
-Present-
Nami and Nojiko were awake and standing near the back of the ship as they discussed last night.
"So Luffy kissed you?" Nami asked.
"Yeah." Nojiko said. "I hugged him first after he said he meant it when I asked about if we all were to get sick. He then kept staring at me while blushing. I didn't realize it until our lips touched. After it happened though...it was just like you said. Something clicked and...we didn't stop. Are you angry?" she asked. Nami sighed as she looked out at sea.
"Actually no." she said. "I don't know why though."
"Really?" Nojiko asked. She was surprised to hear that she wasn't angry. Even though they were sisters, anyone would be angry.
"I feel a lot of things, but none of them are anger." Nami said. "And I'm glad." she said with a smile. "I can't explain it, but part of me feels okay with sharing him." Nojiko looked at her before smiling at looking out at sea as well.
"Maybe it's just because he's our Captain." Nojiko said.
"Maybe." Nami said.
"CAPTAIN OVERBOARD!" Gin suddenly shouted as Luffy flopped around in the sea trying miserably to stay afloat. Luffy had woken up and was running into the cabin to get some food, only for Sanji to kick him out of the cabin so hard he flew over the railing and went into the sea.
"Why'd you do that Bro Sanji?!" Johnny yelled as Gin dragged Luffy back onto the deck.
"Nothing." Sanji said with a vein on his forehead. He wasn't gonna tell anyone about the nightmare he had in the middle of the night.
-Flashback-
Sanji was sleeping in his hammock, dreaming sweet fantasies about the women on the crew admiring him and his cooking and saying how much they loved him. He smiled a perverted smile as he continued cooking a huge meal for them all. While cooking, he noticed that their voices were slowly fading until they were gone. He placed the finished meal on a table and wondered around the strangely larger ship as he called out there names.
"Nami-swaaaan~! Vivi-chwaaan~!" he called out along with the other names. "Where are they?" he asked himself. He wondered the ship before he heard giggling and splashing coming from the other side of a door. "What are they doing?" he asked as he peered through the keyhole. What he saw caused him to drool and sprout hearts in his eyes. Inside the room were Nami, Alvida, Nojiko, Valerie, Vivi in a hot tub and enjoying themselves. Steam was shooting out of Sanji's ears just as much as the room was making. Sanji couldn't contain the scream of joy when he saw them as they women all stopped and looked at the door.
"Who's there?" Valerie asked with her signature laugh.
"Sounded like Sanji." Alvida cooed.
"It is me!" Sanji said as he wiggled around like a noodle outside the door. "Room for one more?"
"Well we would Sanji." Nojiko started.
"But the men-women ratio is full." Nami said.
"HUH?!" Sanji gasped as he looked inside again through the keyhole. He frantically looked around as he tried to see through the steam. "You mean you have other men in there?!"
"Sorry Sanji. He was here first." Vivi said. Sanji looked ready to cry as he now thought of tearing that other man's head off.
'WHO'S IN THERE?!' Sanji thought before he saw a pair of hands come out through the steam and began to grope Nojiko.
"Ahhhhh!" Nojiko moaned in pleasure as the hands continued to fondle her. Sanji looked ready to kill whoever it was as the hands pulled her towards the dissipating steam. Sanji's jaw hit the ground in horror as the man finally came into view.
"Sorry Sanji. Shishishishi!" laughed Luffy. Sanji couldn't seem to turn away from the keyhole as he watched Luffy do so many things to the women of his life before finally being woken up in a cold sweat in the morning with a look of horror on his face.
-Present-
It was a little later on the deck as Sanji, who was still pissed at Luffy, was now grilling him about the food.
"I'm only going to ask you once Luffy." Sanji said. "Where did all the food that I carefully planned to split to feed all of us on this ship till we reached Alabasta disappear to last night?" Luffy looked around while his lips were move to the side as he sweating a bit.
"Wait? All the food's gone?" Nojiko asked before looking at Luffy. "Did you sneak back into the kitchen last night?"
"No!" Luffy quickly said while Sanji looked ready to kick his ass again. "I left right after you caught me! Really!" Luffy said.
"There where is all the food?" Sanji asked as he squished Luffy's face with his hand.
"Really. I don't know." Luffy said.
"Why don't I believe you?" Sanji said as he breathed out some smoke.
"Maybe you're looking in the wrong place." Nami said as she side-eyed Usopp, Chopper, and Carue who were fishing off the side of the ship while chewing something.
"Well, time to catch something to eat!" Usopp declared as Sanji slowly strolled over towards them with a smile.
"Are the fish biting?" he asked, making them all jump.
"Well...not...now." Usopp said with a forced smile. Sanji just kept smiling before smashing all their heads together and left them to fall over.
"Can't turn my back on you idiots." Sanji said before looking at Nami. "Nami my love, I beg you. Can we please get a fridge with a lock on it?"
"We may need to." Nami said with a frown. "Our lives probably depend on it."
"So no food?" Gin asked, just making sure he heard right. "Just great."
"And it's still a ways off to Alabasta." Vivi said.
"So what now? Just keep fishing and hope for something?" Greg asked.
"Looks like it." Valerie said with a sigh as Johnny and Yosaku got some fishing poles and started fishing on the other side as Zoro slept on the deck.
"That or train." Luffy said.
"Train what?" Nojiko asked.
"I could train you guys how to use haki or the 'Six Powers'." Luffy said.
"What are you talking about?" Grace asked. Luffy just smiled before standing up.
"Simple. First I need someone to spar with. Anyone?" he asked with a smile.
"I'll do it." Sanji said. He was gonna use this chance to kick Luffy's ass up and down the ship after that nightmare.
"Okay. First I'll show you all the two forms of haki that anyone can learn with some training." Luffy said as Gin woke Zoro up.
"Luffy's gonna kick Sanji's ass." Gin said to a grumpy Zoro. Zoro smirked as he sat up to watch the cook get his ass handed to him.
"Alright Sanji. Attack any way you want." Luffy said as he closed his eyes. Everyone watched as Sanji ran towards Luffy before jumping. He aimed a kick towards Luffy's head, only for Luffy to move his head slightly and avoid the kick completely. Sanji looked confused before running at him again and aiming a kick at Luffy's chest, only for Luffy to move out of the way again just slightly. Sanji launched kick after kick at Luffy, who not only dodged them all with little movement, but kept his eyes closed the whole time. Zoro, Nami, and Usopp smiled while the others watched in awe.
"How'd you do that?" Sanji asked as he tried to catch his breath.
"I saw it coming with Observation Haki." Luffy said.
"Observation...Haki?" Alvida asked.
"I don't understand it all, but it let's you hear the voice of a person." Luffy said. "Everyone emits a voice. With Observation Haki, you can hear it and know what's coming in combat, or where someone is. It's also helpful when someone's emitting a strong killing intent."
"So that's how you keep winning in hide-n-seek?" Chopper asked.
"Yes." Luffy said with a grin.
"Cheater." most of them said. Luffy only laughed at them before looking back at Sanji.
"Tired Sanji?" Luffy asked.
"Just getting warmed up." he said before standing up.
"Okay. But first, Armament Haki." he said as he raised a fist before it turned black.
"It's black?!" Vivi asked in shock as they were all now watching.
"With pure willpower, one can make what acts like a suit of armor around yourself." Luffy said before turning all black and shiny. "It also bypasses the defenses of those with Devil Fruit powers."
"Is that why I couldn't slip out of your grasp back in Louge Town?" Alvida asked.
"Yep." Luffy said as he returned to normal before walking towards her. "Can I see your mace?"
"Sure. Here." she said as she gave it to him. Luffy took it and raised it up before it turned black with his arm.
"With enough training, you can also cover your weapons in it." Luffy said before giving it back to Alvida. "Even things like guns or arrows."
"So if someone shot you with a pistol while using that Haki, then it could kill you?" Yosaku asked.
"Yep." Luffy said.
"Wow. That's pretty powerful." Gin said.
"There's also more." Luffy said before turning to Sanji. "Alright. Let's go."
"Alright." he said before running at him and aiming a kick at him. Luffy pulled his hand back while keeping his palm out. Right when Sanji was close enough, Luffy thrust his palm out, causing Sanji to fly back through the air before he fell overboard. "AHH! I hit him too hard!" Luffy yelled as they ran over to the side of the ship.
"You shitty rubber brained moron!" Sanji yelled as he swam on the surface. They pulled him up before Luffy went on.
"Sorry Sanji. Armament Haki can be used like that as well." Luffy said.
"So that's haki?" Greg asked.
"So all those crazy moves you used at Whiskey Peak were the 'Six Powers' then?" Valerie asked.
"Right." Luffy said.
"What's that?" Usopp asked as everyone around were now staring with interest.
"They're six powerful techniques that essentially turn the body into a weapon." Luffy said. "There's Shave, Moonwalk, Finger Pistol, Paper Art, Tempest Kick, and Iron Body."
"Wow." Chopper said with wide eyes. "What do they do?"
"Simple. First one's Shave." Luffy said before disappearing. Everyone looked around before they saw Luffy on the Merry's head before disappearing again.
"Where'd he go?" Yosaku asked before yelling as Luffy appeared right in front of him. "AH!"
"Shave allows you to move so fast it's like you disappeared." Luffy said. "Watch my feet carefully." Luffy said before moving around left and right a few times. Everyone watched before Zoro spoke up.
"You kick the ground ten times in an instant." he said.
"Right." Luffy said. "What do you guys want to see next?"
"Hmmm. How about Moonwalk?" Nojiko asked.
"Alright." Luffy said. He just stood there with a grin before waving at her. "Bye." he said before jumping over the side of the ship.
"THAT IDIOT!" they all yelled as they ran towards the side of the ship, only for some of them to fall back in surprise as Luffy jumped up into the air. He kept going higher and higher until he was now standing up on top of the mast.
"Moonwalk allows you to jump in the air!" Luffy called down to them before jumping down to the deck alongside them all.
"That's amazing!" Nami said.
"What's Paper Art?" Sanji asked as he ran towards Luffy. He planned to get Luffy with a surprise attack as he aimed a kick at Luffy's chest. Luffy grinned as he bent backwards like a blade of grass in the wind.
"It's when your body goes limp and lets you avoid attacks like that." Luffy said before standing up again.
"That's three of them." Alvida said. "What are the other three?"
"Watch. Zoro, you attack me this time." Luffy said.
"Alright." Zoro said as he stood up and unsheathed his white sword. "But don't complain if it hurts!" he said as he brought his sword down towards Luffy's head.
"Iron Body!" Luffy said as he raised an arm above his head. Zoro's sword didn't even leave a scratch as it connected with Luffy's arm. "Iron Body is a technique where you toughen your muscles up to the point of mimicking steel."
"That'd be perfect for defense." Usopp said.
"Yeah. Now for some offense." Luffy said. "I need a barrel."
"Got one." Gin said as he stood up off the empty barrel he was sitting on. "What do want with it?"
"Chuck it into the air." Luffy said.
"Alright." Gin said before taking the barrel and flinging it into the air.
"Watch! TEMPEST KICK!" Luffy shouted as he used his legs to shoot out what looked like a flying blade attack at the barrel. Everyone watched as the barrel was cleaved in two before landing back on the deck. "A kick so hard that the gust of wind behind it acts like a blade." Everyone watched in awe while Chopper screamed. These techniques were starting to scare him.
"And...the last one?" he croaked out.
"That one I don't use a lot." Luffy said. "It's the Finger Pistol."
"Let me guess. You shoot someone with your finger?" Greg asked with a smirk.
"Nope." Luffy said as he took a piece of wood from the barrel before and shot a hole in it with his finger.
"You don't need a gun with this technique." he said as they all saw the perfect hole in the wood before putting more holes in it at blinding speed. Half of them were in awe while the other half felt a bit of fear in them. "And those make up the 'Six Powers'." Luffy said.
"And you want us to train to use them?" Nami asked.
"Yes." Luffy said with a smile.
"Uh...Luffy?" Usopp said. "Not everyone here has monstrous strength like you."
"I know. But you don't need that to do all this stuff." Luffy said.
"Who taught you all this?" Grace asked.
"I can't say." Luffy said. Zoro listened closely as he knew why.
"Why not?" Vivi asked.
"I can't say about the haki because it would break a promise I made." Luffy said.
"And what about the 'Six Powers'?" Johnny asked. Everyone was waiting for an answer, only to watch Luffy turn a little blue before curling up into a ball.
"My Grandpa taught me." he said in a meek voice.
'What kind of Grandpa does he have?' they all thought after seeing him look so scared.
"So, when do we start?" Zoro asked with a grin. Luffy looked at him before grinning.
"Right now."
A/N: Here's where we'll stop for now. I forgot to have Sanji unknowingly react last chapter. Hope you like it.
