Chapter 9


The group arrived back at their base and began to call all the leaders of the different groups to have a meeting to discuss current events and future events.

One by one they all started to pile into the designated meeting place taking their seats.

Bartolomeo spoke up first. "Luffy senpai what's the meeting about and where did you guys go I smell blood and what happened to those two?" He asked pointing at Lami and Makino.

Everyone that didn't attend now looked up in shock and looked over to the two crying girls.

Luffy's hat shadowed his eyes as he responded, "Makino was beat by some pirates and bandits that joined forces while Lami ended up being kidnapped by the same group. Don't worry though we took care of it."

The audience gasped at this revelation. Robin spoke up and inquired with a very straight face that had Ussop quiver. "Is there anybody from that group who is still alive?"

Even Zoro backed up a little bit after hearing this.

Luffy nodded his head, "Yes the underlings are still alive. Pops sent one of them flying so probably not him."

Nami spoke up next with shark teeth and a frightening aura. "Frankie build a jail we got some people to punish for what they have done."

Ace whispered to Sabo's ear but was still heard. "From what I can remember isn't Luffy their captain and Zoro the first mate?"

Frankie looked at them and laughed. "It's true that Luffy is our captain but you don't want to cross a mad Nami or a mad Robin."

The rest of the straw hats nodded their heads in agreement.

Luffy looked at Frankie and asked, "How long do you think that the jail will take to build?"

Frankie gave a wide grin and said, "Well you know me I'm super!!! So, it should take half an hour."

Luffy nodded his head and said, "Sounds good! Get started on it as soon as we're done here."

Luffy looked at Lami and put his arms around her and asked, "Can you tell everyone the things that they said to you? You don't have to if you don't want to, we understand?"

Lami sniffed and thought about it for a bit then nodded her hand while saying, "Yes I can do that. They took me to there hideout and said that they wanted to use me to get all the people out. They wanted to be the top dogs of the place. They know that there is a bunch of people here. I don't think that they realize who was here though."

Whitebeard asked, "Granddaughter how did they intend to use you to obtain this?"

With sad eyes Lami replied, "I'm not sure. They just said I was going to be leverage against you guys."

Whitebeard nodded and said, "I see, don't worry you're safe now."

Lami nodded her head in understanding and sighed in relief.

Frankie thought about it and looked over to his captain. "We should build an encircling wall and should post guards. I don't thinks it's the best idea for anybody to come in here. If someone recognizes Shanks or Whitebeard it could spell trouble."

Shanks spoke up, "That's probably a good idea. I mean there's not much that they could do with our combined forces. It's better to just avoid the hassle though."

Around the room there was a bunch of nodding in agreement.

Robin spoke up and said, "People in favour?" Everyone in the building raised their hand in agreement.

Luffy then said, "I think we're going to put a guard for you to keep an eye on you so something like this won't happen again."

Makino was shocked and inquired saying, "Are you sure that you can spare someone. I see everyone here is pretty busy and I'm just one person."

Shanks stood up as fast as he could and said, "I got it Makino. I'll protect you."

Ben with a smirk responded, "Oh I bet you do." That made everyone start to laugh.

Luffy said, "Well it looks like that's settled. I think we should get a judge that hasn't been here for the rest of Higuma's and Bluejam's group."

Nami protested, "We are pirates!!! Why not just take care of them ourselves?"

Luffy looked at his navigator, "I want to make the world a better place for everyone not just us pirates. And to do that everything needs to be fair. We may be pirates but we're going to have a good name."

Nami sat back down and nodded her head in understanding.

Makino asked, "Who are you thinking for this?"

Before Luffy could respond the den den mushi started ringing. Whitebeard who was closest to it answered saying, "What is it brat? We are in the middle of an important meeting."

The den den mushi called out in a panicked voice. "Pops one of big Mom's tart ships has been spotted heading this way!!!"

Whitebeard rubbed his chin and asked, "How many people are aboard?"

"It's only one person. It's Dogtooth Katakuri !!!" They responded back.

Luffy's head shot up with a big smile and he shouted, "He has finally come!!!"

Whitebeard raised an eyebrow and asked, "Were you expecting him brat?"

Luffy nodded his head so fast that it bobbled.

Marco thought about it and said, "Oh yeah! I forgot he came with us to Laugh Tale."

Whitebeard turned to the den den mushi and spoke, "Alright let him in and escort him here for the meeting."

The line was silent for a bit before a response came. "Will do, Pops! See you in a bit."

Flashback*

Katakuri's pov*

Katakuri woke up and thought to himself, "Why am I back at Whole Cake Island? It doesn't make any sense. The last thing I remember is dying on the last island along with everyone else."

He heard a knock on his door and said, "Come in."

The door opened, the head chef walked in and bowed saying ,"My lord Katakuri I almost have your breakfast ready. Is there anything else that you might need?"

Katakuri thought about it for a moment and replied, "Yes bring me today's newspaper."

The chef raised his eyebrow and stated, "My lord you almost never never get a newspaper. Is everything going okay?"

Katakuri nodded his head. "To be honest I'm not sure. I have a strange feeling. Nothing bad but still strange."

The chef gave a blank stare and said, "Well alright. I'll be back."

As soon as Katakuri's food was done the chef went up to Big Mom's throne where the paper was and before he could say anything Big Mom looked at him with an unreadable expression and said, "If that is for Katakuri get him over here immediately. I just saw something interesting in this morning's newspaper."

The chef took a step back in shock and said, "It's funny that you mention that. When I stopped by his room this morning he told me that he wanted this morning's newspaper."

Big mom smiled and said, "Mamamama! That is interesting."

With that the chef bowed and took his leave and went back to inform Katakuri of his meeting.

A few minutes later Katakuri walked in and inquired saying, "Momma, you wished to see me this morning?"

Big Mom nodded her head and said, "Yes, have a look at today's paper. It's very interesting."

Katakuri took the paper and saw the date and thought to himself, "I'm really far in the past! How interesting." Then he read the headline.

"Whitebeard, Red Haired Shanks and Dragon the Revolutionary spotted in the East Blue."*

Katakuri's eyes got wide and looked up at his mom and asked, "So what are we going to do about this?"

Big mom thought about it and responded, "Well it looks like your going to take a trip to the East Blue and see what's going on."

Katakuri nodded in understanding, "I will leave immediately."

End of flashback*

Katakuri arrived in the East Blue and headed towards Dawn Island after a few days he could see the island coming into view.

Time skip*

Luffy with a big smile shouted. "Katakuri you have finally made it here!!!"
