A/N: I don't own any of this. The only reason I'm making this is that it doesn't look like the original author is returning to continue their story. The only thing that I indeed lay claim to is wherever I decide to take the story after chapter six. There will be small changes here and there. There were certain moments I didn't necessarily agree with in the original that I wish to rectify here. I will inform you of these changes when they take place and explain my reasoning behind them. Rest assured, I won't change anything significant about the story, though.
It was a typical day in Remnant, and that typical day was the start of something legendary.
What do you ask? We will see what... "And I said, now that is a Katana! " A red-black-haired girl said happily as she and her team walked into their room at the dormitory of Beacon Academy. The girl's name is Ruby Rose, and she, alongside Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao-Long, and Blake Belladonna, had just finished their preparation for the Vytal Festival, meaning they were all tired.
The window in their room showed that it was late at night, which meant it was time to hit the hay, or their (demonic) teacher would scold them again.
Blake sighed, "Ruby, you need to get better at jokes." She glanced at the blonde girl beside her. "We already have one unfunny person here."
"Hey!" Yang protested while smiling. "My jokes are funny! It's you girls' fault you don't understand my jokes!" Weiss scoffed at hearing that.
The heiress of the Schnee family smirked, "Good comedy?" She asked teasingly. "What about that joke about you Torchwick, and that Ice Cream girl?"
"Oh, come on..." Yang threw her hands in exasperation. "That was different..." She said darkly as her mind drifted back to Neopolitan and Torchwick.
"At least it was better than whatever you said!"
"Why, you little..."
Ruby clapped her hands, "Alright, guys, enough." She said, stopping Yang and Weiss before things could escalate. "Let's just get changed and sleep. We still need a lot of training tomorrow." As her team agreed, she said they immediately changed into their pajamas.
Ruby hummed, walked over to the bunk bed she and Weiss shared, and climbed up to the top. Before she slept, she took a piece of gold coin from her pocket and put it under her pillow. Weiss noticed her leader's strange behavior and asked, "Hey, Dolt. What is that?"
Ruby took the coin from under her pillow."I bought this today from the market. The peddler said that this coin would bring us a great adventure." She happily explained as Weiss looked at her with a blank stare.
"You are getting tricked."
"What!"
"Definitely tricked."
"Oh, I know a good place where we can sell that coin," Yang said with a sparkle in her eyes, not noticing her little sister start to cry. "How much do you think these coins cost?" She asked Weiss, who inspected the coin.
Weiss shrugged, "The short version or the long version?" She asked as Yang gave a gesture for the short version. "A lot of Lien." She answered. "If this coin is made out of pure gold, then you would be surprised at how much people in Atlas are willing to pay for this small piece." She said as she tossed the coin to Yang.
Yang caught it and hooted, "We're rich!" She smiled, but she suddenly noticed something. "If it is that pricey, how much did you spend on it, sis?" She asked her sister as she tossed the coin back to Ruby.
"Nothing," Ruby said as she caught the coin.
"Eh?" Yang, Weiss, and Blake said in unison. Their eyes went wide in disbelief.
"The Peddler just gave it to me," Ruby said as she examined the coin. "She said I will be happy knowing what this coin will give us." She explained, remembering what the old peddler said to her in the marketplace. "But she also said that I need to be careful about what I wished for or else it might be my last..." She said as Blake narrowed her eyes.
"That is suspicious..." Blake muttered as Ruby nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. But think about it. It might bring us to another world." Ruby grinned as Weiss and Yang sighed at their leader's fantasy.
"You are reading too much of that Light Novel, Dolt..." Weiss said as she yawned. "Let us think about it in the morning. I'm beaten..." She laid down on her bed.
"Yeah..." Yang agreed as she hopped onto her bed. "We will think about it tomorrow," she said as Blake and Ruby also jumped onto their beds.
Eventually, they all fell into a deep sleep. Unbeknownst to them, the coin under Ruby's pillow started to glow a golden light.
In another world, particularly in the East Blue, a Pirate Group called the Strawhat Pirates had been traveling for a couple of weeks without finding anything interesting on their way to Logue Town. After saving Nami from the Fishman Pirates, their aim becomes clear: to go to Logue Town and then the Grand Line. However, as of now, there was nothing adventurous for them.
"Luffy..."
"Hm?"
"Can you stop doing that?"
"What did I do?"
"You know what you did?"
On the deck of the Going Merry, an argument between the crew was occurring. Sanji, the cook, stood before the captain Monkey D. Luffy, who sat cross-legged while whistling. He looked up at Zoro, who was sleeping in the crow's nest with his arms crossed behind his head.
"Hey, why are you looking away?" Sanji said, irritated as he pulled his captain's cheek. "Look at me in the eyes." He said, annoyed.
"Seriously... I don't know what you mean." Luffy looked away while whistling, causing a vein to throb on Sanji's forehead.
"Then let me ask you something..." Sanji said as he took the cigarette from his mouth. "How did enough food for five people that I carefully divided so it could reach Logue Town suddenly vanish in one night?" He asked as Luffy's eyes darted around. "Stop fighting. It's pointless! You've got a horrible poker face!" Sanji said, irritated, but Luffy kept silent.
Sighing, Sanji looked down and made a surprised face, "Hey, you have something around your mouth."
"Ah! Shoot! Food Crumbs!" A kick suddenly planted into Luffy's face.
"Will you two keep it down!" Nami, their ship Navigator, shouted as she slammed openthe door to the ship's quarters. "I'm trying to work here!" She screamed as Sanji looked at the beautiful girl.
"My apologies, Nami, my dear," Sanji said gesturing at Luffy. "It's just that Luffy ate all of our rations." He explained as the vein on his head throbbed again.
"Again!?" Nami immediately stormed down the stairs and made her way to Luffy. She painfully grabbed him by the cheek. "Wasting all our food, do you have a death wish or something? What gave you the idea to eat all our food!?"
"We can always get more," Luffy said, oblivious to the pain that his navigator was going to inflict upon him.
"That's not the point!" Nami shouted as she knocked him on the head. "We'll waste our precious money at this rate." She explained.
"But that's the money you pickpocketed from your village." Usopp, the sniper, said as Nami glared at him as if she was asking, 'Is that a problem?' and the sniper immediately shut his mouth.
At this point, up in the crow nest, Zoro slowly opened his eyes. He looked down and noticed his friends were arguing, but he also heard a faint sound. "Hey..." He called out. Immediately, his crewmates stopped squabbling and turned to him. Luffy had a few bumps on his head but didn't appear to show any signs of being hurt. "Do you guys hear that?" He asked.
"Hear what?" Nami asked, her tone becoming much calmer as she regained her composure.
"It sounds like... Screaming. " Zoro said as the four blinked.
"Sea Ghost? " Sanji and Luffy asked as they got beaten by Nami and Usopp.
"O-Oh, come on, don't say that. we're not in Grand Line yet..." Usopp said clearly, afraid as his body was shivered. "Gyah! I heard it too!?" He screamed as he immediately hid behind Luffy.
"Do you think they'll join us?"
"If we catch them, maybe."
"Can you two please focus!?" Nami shouted at Zoro and Luffy as she spotted something high up. "Something is falling from the sky!" She shouted. "Four shadows!?" The rest of the crew looked up, and true to Nami's words, four blurs were falling from the sky.
Red. White. Black. Yellow.
As the blurs fell and formed vague outlines of human shapes, their voices became much more clear.
"This is a dream! This has got to be a nightmare!"
"How did we end up in the sky!"
"Who cares? We're going to die falling from this height!"
"Not like this! Not like this!"
"Are those people?" Nami shouted with wide eyes. "How did they get up there?"
"Who cares? The fall will kill them if we don't do anything!" Zoro said.
"Ghost can die if they fall?" Luffy asked innocently.
"Enough with the ghost thing!?" Zoro, Usopp, Nami, and Sanji yelled in unison.
"Sanji-Kun, you get the other side! Usopp and Zoro get the others and hold on tight!" Nami instructed as she immediately grabbed Luffy and pulled him.
"On it, Nami dear!" Sanji shouted and grabbed Luffy's other side while Zoro grabbed his left foot and Usopp his right foot. Thanks to his devil fruit powers, they could stretch their captain's body into a life net. Four falling people hit Luffy's body a few seconds later, breaking their fall. They temporarily bounced up and fell back down again, this time on the hardwood floor of the upper deck. All four of them, they noted, were dressed in sleepwear.
"Oww..." The red-haired girl groaned, grabbing her head. "That hurt?"
"Took the words out of my mouth..." The white-haired girl groaned. "Where are we?"
Glancing around, the black-haired girl said, "We appear to be on the ship..." She heard her yellow-haired friend grimace beside her.
"You got that right..." The rough voice startled the four. They quickly turned to see Zoro, who stood with his shipmates. "What are you guys thinking, falling out of the sky?"
"Yeah, while we are on the subject, how did you get up there?"
"Are you ghosts?"
"Stop with the ghost things!? " Usopp and Sanji yelled, but the four girls jumped up and got defensive as Usopp and Nami immediately hid behind Zoro, and Luffy as Zoro clutched his swords. Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy looked at the four girls before them, waiting for one of them to make the first move. The girls seemed to be reaching for something that wasn't there in their person. And when they realized it, they began patting themselves down for something they could use.
The Straw Hats tilted their head in confusion.
"Are they trying to find a weapon?" Usopp asked.
"Looks like it." Nami said.
"Why, though?" Luffy asked.
"Take a guess," Sanji said as he patted Zoro.
"I didn't draw my sword, love cook." Zoro retorted as a thick vein appeared on his forehead from the irritation of having the cook of all people pat him on the head.
"You look like a thug," Sanji said as Zoro and Sanji glared at each other.
"W-Who are you people?" The black-haired girl demanded as Sanji immediately swooned at her beauty.
"Funny you should ask..." Zoro said as his face shifted back to its regular stoic expression. "Because that's what we wanted to know. You're the ones who landed on our ship." He asked before moving just slightly to avoid Sanji's kick.
"Don't mind the moss-head here, ladies." Sanji said in a suave voice. He stepped forward and gave a formal bow. "The name's Sanji. May I have the pleasure of learning your names?" He asked as the four girls looked at him with confused expressions. Nami immediately pushed him to the side and stepped forward.
"Forgive them. They are idiots. My name's Nami, what are your names?" Nami asked gently.
"Ruby Rose, I'm their leader." Ruby introduced herselfas she prostrated before them. "We're sorry that we landed on your ship." She said.
"Don't be," Nami said as she kneeled. "A fall from that height, and you would be dead when you hit the water. You're lucky that we were here when you fell." She smiled.
"Thanks. But what did we land on?" Ruby asked as she got back up. "It felt elastic and rubbery..." The Strawhats immediately turned their heads to their captain. "Eh?"
"Forget about that for now, Dolt; let's continue." Said the girl in white. "My name is Wiess Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company if that means anything." She looked down as Luffy blinked.
"You make dust?" Luffy tilted his head as he sighed. "Must be a poor business."
"Not that kind of dust, you dolt!?" Weiss shrieked. "Dust! Fire, water, lighting, energy! The stuff that powers nearly everything on Remnant?" She explained as Nami's eyes turned into Berri.
"Remnant?"
"Is there any island named Remnant in East Blue?" Zoro asked, much to Weiss' confusion
"What's in the name of the brother gods is the East Blue?" asked Weiss.
"You must be really lost if you don't even know about the East Blue." said Zoro, snickering slightly before bringing up his sword to block Sanji's kick to the head.
"Don't snicker at Weiss-chan, Marimo!" shouted Sanji.
"Piss off Swirly-brows!" shouted Zoro.
"Blake Belladonna." The girl with the black bow interrupted before the argument could escalate. "Pleasure to meet you all." She said as Usopp blinked.
"Is it just me, or did your bow just twitch?" Blake suddenly tensed, causing Usopp to jump back. Right before she could answer, the blonde girl cut in.
"Yang Xiao Long, pleased to meet you all," Yang said, glaring at the Strawhats.
Nami understood that they were probably suspicious of them, and to be fair, she suspected the four girls, so they should get this next part out of the way fast. "My name is Nami. Pleased to meet you all."
"Roronoa Zoro."
"My name's Usopp," The Straw Hat sniper introduced, with a hint of dramatic flair. "I'm the captain of this ship! I've sunk countless warships! People know me as Captain Usopp, Lord of Destruction!"
"Yeah, right," Luffy knocked him on the head. "I'm the captain. You're the liar."
"You're the captain?" Weiss asked dubiously, to which Luffy nodded. 'He certainly doesn't look the part.' She thought looking at his rather simple clothing that consisted of denim shorts, a red vest, sandals, and a straw hat.
"Yep. My name is Monkey D. Luffy! The man that will become the Pirate King! Nice to meet you guys!" He grinned. Ruby's cheeks puffed out at the introduction, and when she couldn't contain it any longer, she burst out laughing. She hugged her sides as she fell to the floor.
The captain of the Straw hats looked confused at her reaction. "What's so funny?" Luffy asked.
"Monkey?" She gasped in between breaths. "Your first name is Monkey?"
Nami sighed, "We call him Luffy," She said. "Some people happen to have their names backward. Last names first, then comes the first name." Ruby nodded.
"Now that we've got that out of the way," Weiss said, nudging Ruby with the tip of her toes. "Can you tell us where on Remnant we are?"
"Remnant?" Nami asked with a raised eyebrow. "What island is that?
"It's not an island," Weiss said, looking at her as if she had grown a second head. "It's the whole world itself. Everyone knows that."
"Hey, that's just like saying the entire East Blue is the whole world," Nami scowled back at her. "I don't know where you were, but you won't last long at sea with an attitude like that!"
"East Blue?" Blake asked. This had been the second time it had been mentioned. She briefly glanced over the edge of the ship. "Is that the name of the sea we're currently in?"
"Yep. There's also the North Blue, the South Blue, the West Blue, and the Grand Line. I haven't heard of an island named Remnant, though."
Team RWBY glanced at each other, shock clear on their faces. Together, they turned to the assembled crew.
"That can't be right," Weiss stammered. "We haven't heard of those seas before!"
"How can you not?" Zoro asked. The four girls looked at each other and moved closer to have a quiet conversation. After a minute, Ruby turned towards them with a slightly worried but amazed look.
"This may sound strange," Ruby said. "But we may have come from another world."
The Straw Hat crew looked at them with disbelief, "Huh?" Luffy's eyes immediately sparkled.
"Alien!?" Luffy said as Usopp went pale.
"What!? Does that mean they are going to probe our brain!?" Usopp said in fear.
"No! we are not Alien!" Ruby desperately said. "I know you think it's crazy, but it's true..." She explained in a panicked tone. "One minute, we were sleeping in the dorm of Beacon Academy. Then we are falling from the sky!?" She desperately explained.
Nami, Zoro, and Usopp looked at them in disbelief. "How can we be sure you're telling the truth?" Zoro asked as he immediately blocked another of Sanji's kicks.
"Moss-Head!" Sanji yelled. "Don't you dare call sweet Ruby a liar!" He shouted as Yang stepped forward.
"I swear, she's not making this up," Yang argued, her eyes flickering red in irritation. "We were just talking about Ruby's gold coin. When we went to sleep with them under our pillows, we ended up here!" Nami's ear perked up.
"Gold coins?" Nami asked. Then she got into Yang's face, with Beli dollar symbols in her eyes. "Do you still have them? It might be worth a fortune in Berries!"
"Berries?" Weiss asked. "You use fruits as a currency?"
"For your information, that's the name of the money here!" Nami shouted. "Also, gold means a lot of them." She shrieked with Beli dollar symbols in her eyes.
"Nami, we're getting off-topic," Zoro said. Nami snapped out of her money frenzy and nodded. "You said that you came from another world. Do you have something that can prove that?"
"Well," Ruby kicked her feet. "We had weapons, but they were stored in our school's lockers. Then there are our scrolls, but we don't have them on us. But we have this thing called 'Aura'."
"Aura?"
"It's the manifestation of the soul," Weiss explained (she pointedly ignored Luffy calling it a mystery power. While not technically incorrect, Aura was so much more than just a mystery power). "It functions like a forcefield, though we still feel the pain. We primarily use it for defense, sometimes for offense. Eventually, it develops into a semblance."
"A semblance?"
"Think of it as a unique power," Yang said. "I can draw strength from hits, Blake can create shadow clones, Weiss has her glyphs, and Ruby can go super-fast."
"Those sound pretty cool!" Luffy said with sparkling eyes. "Can we see?"
"Ugh, sure," Weiss said. She thought it would be a waste of aura, but they needed to prove their sanity. She held out a palm and created a minor glyph. Luffy looked at it for a moment and frowned.
"Is that all you can do... Lame." Luffy sighed.
"Hey, you wanted to know!" Weiss shrieked. "And for your information, I can do a whole lot more with my semblance. I just need my Myrtenaster!"
"Myrtenaster?" Luffy tilted his head. "What's that?"
"It's a white rapier." said Weiss as Usopp bumped his fist into his open palm.
"You mean this?" Usopp asked as he took a white rapier with tubes attached to it. "Luffy bought four weird weapons in Kokoyashi village." He said, pointing out a crimson scythe, black sword, and pair of golden gloves on the side of the deck.
"My Crescent Rose!" Ruby said, crying as she immediately hugged the crimson scythe. "I thought we would never meet again." She said happily. "As thanks, I will show mine?" Ruby asked. Instantly, she vanished and reappeared on top of the helm, leaving a trail of rose petals in her wake. Then zipped back to the original position. The straw hats stared at her in awe.
"Is...that proof enough?" Ruby asked awkwardly.
"Not quite," Usopp said. He pulled out a slingshot and loaded one of his stars. He drew back the sling and aimed it at her. "Let's test this forcefield of yours."
He let it loose. The star flew straight at Ruby, who just stood there. The star hit the girl...and fell to the ground. "Huh?" Usopp lowered the slingshot and stared at where he aimed. He was sure that he hit, but it looked like it bounced off her. She didn't even look wounded. "Guess they weren't kidding."
"One question..." Sanji said. "Can all four of you swim?"
"Huh?" Ruby looked confused at that question. She turned to the rest of her teammates. "Umm...we might have covered it a while back. Why?"
"I guess that rules out the possibility of devil fruit powers," Sanji said. "Told you they're telling the truth." He turned to his crewmates.
Nami put her hand on her head, "It looks like they are from another world," Nami said. "With a world as crazy as ours, I wouldn't be surprised." She said as Luffy's eyes sparkled.
"That was so cool!" Luffy ran up to them. "Wanna join my crew?"
"What?"
"Luffy!" His crewmates, minus Sanji, shouted. The cook looking rather welcome to the idea.
Nami walked up to him and pinched him on the cheek. "You can't just ask them to join our crew! You don't even know if they want to!"
"She has a point there," Blake said. "We need to find a way back to our world. You can drop us off at the next island."
"But where will you go?" Zoro asked. "Do you even know where to start looking for your home?"
"Uh..."
"He has a point," Nami said as she let go of Luffy's cheek. "As much as I want to argue about the living conditions, he has a point. There isn't a navigator who has ever heard of 'Remnant'. Not to mention we can't just leave you guys by yourselves."
"With our weapons, we can take care of ourselves..." Weiss tried to insist, but she didn't sound convinced herself.
"I agree with Nami," Sanji said, lighting his cigarette. "We can't just leave four lovely ladies by themselves. Something bad can happen to them."
The RWBY team looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement. Right now, these people may be the only people who would be willing to help them. They also haven't covered any classes relating to sea expeditions, aside from fighting sea Grimm like a Sea Feilong.
"We agree... But, you better not try to flirt with my sister," Yang said, cracking her knuckles threateningly. "Otherwise, you and I will have problems."
"Yang-chan, you're so lovely when you're threatening people." said Sanji getting a weird look from Yang.
"Okay," Ruby said. "We'll go with you guys."
"For now," Weiss added. "This only lasts until we get home."
"AWESOME! SANJI, LET'S MAKE A BANQUET FOR OUR NEW CREWMEMBERS!"
"We don't have any food ingredients."
"What? Why?"
"""""BECAUSE OF YOU!""""" Nami sighed. "We need to get into the next island ASAP, and we should also buy necessities for Ruby and the others." She said as she glanced at the girls. "We can't have you running around in your pajamas. Fortunately, we're headed to Loguetown. It's the last stop in the East Blue to get supplies before entering the Grand Line. It's a popular hangout for pirates like us."
"That's splendid," Weiss said. Then she stopped when the rest of their words sank in. Her teammates also stopped moving to stare at them. "Wait...what did you say...?"
"Oh yeah, I guess we forgot to mention," Luffy said with a carefree grin. "We're pirates!"
The four huntresses-in-training gaped at them, "WHAT?!"
THUD
"KYAAAAAHHH! Yang, Luffy, I can't swim!?"
"W-Wait, don't hold me down too tight, Blake. You will re-open my wounds..." Yang said as she looked around. Immediately she recognized the room that she was in. It was their dorm room back at Beacon Academy.
Ruby yawned as she rubbed her eyes. "Why so loud, de gozaru?" she said as she noticed Yang and Blake on the ground. "Yang, Blake, you came to Wano. Wait, what are you doing in Shinobu's house?" she asked, half asleep.
"Has breakfast already come to the hall Otoko..." Weiss said, half asleep as she noticed her surroundings, her room in Beacon. "Eh? We're back at Beacon... How?"
"I don't know..." Ruby muttered as her eyes widened. "Eh? I became smaller!"
"Me too!" Blake said as she noticed something from Yang. "Yang, your right arm!?" Yang moved her right arm; it was not mechanical but organic. "We have become younger..."
"No..." The three girls turned toward Weiss. "We just woke up."
"Huh?" Ruby said as Weiss showed her scroll. "It's the day after tomorrow, two years ago..." Yang immediately grabbed Weiss's scroll and narrowed her eyes.
"I-It's impossible!?" Yang shouted. "All of those things couldn't happen in just one night of dreaming... I mean, I lost my arm to Kizaru, and it's freaking hurt..." She said with trembling hands while looking at the date on Weiss's scroll.
"Does this mean it was all a dream?" Blake asked in disbelief. "All of our adventures... Our Nakama-"
"It's not a dream!" Yang shouted as her eyes turned red, her teeth grinding against each other as he rage continued to build. "All those are real, and I won't believe it otherwise."
"But where is the proof."
"Huh?"
"That adventure. Where is the proof?"
"You mean you don't believe our adventure with our Nakama is real."
"No, I just ask for proof."
"We remember all our adventures. It can't be a coincidence."
"Then where-"
"ENOUGH!" Ruby shouted as the three girls flinched, and they turned toward their leader. "It's real." She said calmly as Weiss rolled her eyes.
"If it's real, where is the proof-" She looked at Ruby's blackened arm. "Busoshoku Haki..." Weiss immediately turned toward Yang, and Yang instantly blackened her arms. She started to laugh and then grimaced in pain.
"Yang, what's wrong?" Weiss asked, and Yang immediately rolled up her shirt to expose her midriff. There were bandages wrapped on her belly, and there was a burn mark and several other wounds that seemed to have come from sharp weapons.
"Isn't that the bruise you got from Oven?" Blake asked as the four began to smile and cry. "That means that everything that happened—"
"Wasn't a dream," Ruby whispered. Her silver eyes widened with the others. "Which means... We need to sleep immediately!?"
"Eh?"
"We slept, and we got taken to the new world, which means we need to sleep again. We need to do it now!" Ruby reasoned as the others blinked and nodded.
"R-Right! We can't waste any more time! The preparation should start now!?" Weiss said, agreeing as she and the others hopped into their bed.
"Then what?" Blake said as everyone stopped. We don't know if we go to sleep that we'll end up in Wano," she said as everyone became crestfallen. The members of Team RWBY felt tears trickling down their cheeks.
"Zoro...Usopp...Sanji...Nami...Chopper...Robin...Franky...Brook...Luffy..." Ruby spoke the names of their crewmates and their captain.
Yang laughed weakly, "You know I will gladly fight that Hag again if we can meet our Nakama again..." She said as she punched the wall angrily. "And when I can brag to Zoro that I finally defeated his bounty, this happened... Damn it!?" She shouted with a voice mixed with anger and grief. She punched an unbroken wall to vent. "Damn it! Damn it all!"
"I am sure Sanji will try to find us..." Weiss said, her body trembling, remembering her crewmate's worried face. "Damn it..." She started to cry.
Blake said nothing. Her black bangs fell over her eyes, shielding them from the outside world. Nobody moved or said anything except for Yang, who continued destroying the wall.
10 minutes later, Professor Goodwitch came to their wrecked dorm room. After the teacher got Yang to stop demolishing the rest of their dorm, she proceeded to lecture them about 'damaging school property and 'consequences'. But team RWBY wasn't even listening.
Who could blame them?
Ignoring Goodwitch, Ruby glanced in worry to Weiss.
"So, it's eight of us, huh?" Luffy asked as 20-years-old Yang beside him nodded.
"Yep, and I'm glad you're going with us too, Pedro," Yang said, smiling at Pedro.
"Be careful, Nami."
"Thanks! You too, Wanda."
"Listen... We know how he is. There's a pretty good chance that he is perving with his wife now." Zoro said as 20-year-old Weiss nodded in agreement.
"I'm sure that pervert must be loving the idea of getting married." Weiss sighed.
"The sad thing is I can't deny that," Usopp said.
"Come on, I believe in Sanji. He will return to us." 18-year-old Ruby said while smiling.
"Sanji will return." Luffy grinned.
"So Long, Sir. Luffy."
"We will meet again in Wano."
"Ruby and I will work on Anti-Kaido's weapon!"
"If anything happens, please tell us."
"Are you worried, Weiss?"
"N-No, who is worried!?"
"And now, should I assist you with my drawing?"
"No need, Kanjuro," Luffy said as his hands circled his friends.
"Eh?" Blake said as Luffy jumped alongside them, shocking everyone.
"What!?" The Samurai, Pirate, Ninja, and Mink Alliance yelled in disbelief, except for The Straw hats.
"See ya guys in Wano."
"Take care, Luffy."
"You bet."
"Try not to agitate Big Mom, Luffy. She is one of Four Emperors."
"Got it, Weiss!" Luffy said, and Weiss smiled a little, though she also blushed a bit at Luffy's smile, which didn't go unnoticed by Ruby. "Oh, little Weiss cares about our captain..." Ruby said in a sing-song tone that made Weiss blush even harder.
"You should just tell him, or he will never understand..." Zoro sighed.
"Luffy is not the sharpest." Franky agreed.
"I'm sure Luffy will answer your feelings." Robin said with a faint smile.
"Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be all right," Usopp said.
"It reminds me of Lady Toki and Lord Oden..." Nekomamushi and Inuarashi chuckled.
"You better confess your feelings fast. This is the Four Emperors we are talking about." Law said before walking away.
"Why are you all suddenly becoming love doctors!?" Weiss screamed in desperation, but she couldn't quite stop her blushing face. "I will tell him when the time is right. I don't want to burden him with unnecessary thoughts." She smiled when she remembered how Luffy protected her from Enel.
Zoro sighed and patted Weiss's head, "You better do it fast then because we don't know when you will return to your world?" He said as the two-huntress looked at him weirdly. "What? Don't you want to go back to your world?"
"No!" Ruby said and grinned. "The Pirate King should have the greatest huntress as his crewmate. I will go with him until the end of the time!?" She smiled and slung her arm around Weiss. "I'm sure Weiss also doesn't want to go back."
"Y-Yeah, I mean, who else will help Sanji with the cooking? As his Sous Chef, it's my duty to help him." Weiss said in tsundere manner. From the looks she received, the others clearly didn't buy it. "It's not because of Luffy or anything!?" She screamed. "I'm sure Yang and Blake also think alike." She said, diverting the topic.
"Then we better gear up because our enemy is the Four Emperors," Zoro said, getting loud cheers as Weiss looked down with a smile.
She will surely meet him again and tell him her feelings... She would make sure of it.
