"Really, Luffy never ceases to amaze us."
Having seen the soldiers leave the house and return to Garp's ship, Luffy's companions were drinking tea, while their captain was away with Lucy.
"Half of his family are criminals." Gin remarked. "And the other half are Navy! I don't know whether to laugh or be flabbergasted by it."
"Knowing Luffy's character, strangely, it doesn't really surprise me that he had an abusive grandfather, who forced him to become a soldier! However, even if they are stubborn, it is Luffy who had the last word. "
"In any case, he seems happy to see his sister and his friends again." Chopper remarked. "With Lucy, he went to talk to them."
"Why didn't you go with them?" Vivi asked, turning to Zoro and Raynare. "From what I understand, they are also your friends."
"Tsss! Don't talk nonsense." Raynare retorted. "Coby was just a coward when we met him! It was Luffy and Lucy who took care of him until we met Zoro! And it was also Lucy who reasoned with Helmeppo! Yes If I had listened to myself, I would have left Coby with Alvida and I would have killed the second one with his father!
"At first, I thought Coby was Luffy's first companion." Zoro said. "And nothing would have made me guess that he was actually destined to become one of his rivals."
"Rivals?" His companions were surprised.
Simply smiling, Zoro stated.
"If he continues to progress, he could become a high-ranking Navy officer we should be wary of."
"By the way, I heard something interesting." Sanji said.
Showing a mocking smile, he declared.
"It seems you were almost executed before meeting Luffy! Your life as a pirate hunter must have been truly miserable."
" SHUT UP ! "
"Tell us." Gin said.
"Yeah! You must have been ridiculous." Wiper said.
"How could Zoro-aniki be defeated by a guy like him?" Johnny asked.
"I wasn't defeated by that idiot." Zoro roared.
But as the man roared, Vivi couldn't help but laugh. However, a voice surprised her.
"Glad to see you are well, Princess Vivi."
Surprised, Vivi immediately turned around and saw a pale-skinned man in front of the front door, smiling at the young woman and at the pirates.
"It's been a long time." The man said, bowing to them. "I'm glad to have the chance to see the Saviors of Alabasta again."
"YOU?" Most of the pirates were surprised.
"Pell?" Vivi recognized.
"And that's how Grandpa destroyed his own ship, by trying to cook meat in the weapons room." Emma affirmed.
"IT WAS NOT FUNNY." Helmeppo groaned. "because of him, we almost died."
However, starting to laugh, Luffy affirmed.
"HAHAHAHA! Only Grandpa could do something this stupid."
"Don't underestimate your stupidity." Lucy retorted, pulling his cheek. "Apparently, in your family, your brain is not very developed."
"It's true." Emma assured, giving her thumbs up. "With Ace and Luffy, we have brains for three."
"There's nothing to be proud of." The blonde retorted.
Then, sighing, she declared.
"But, seriously, I'm surprised you both made it to the Grand Line! Knowing you, Coby, I would have thought you would have passed out when you found out what Reverse Mountain looked like."
"Have you met Laboon?" Luffy asked.
"Laboon?" Coby repeated. "Sorry, but we didn't go that way."
"What?" Lucy wondered. "But, Nami claimed that it was the only way to get to the Grand Line because of the areas called Calm Belt."
"The truth is, there's another way to get to the Grand Line." Coby said.
"Hey! Say no more." Helmeppo retorted, placing his hands over his mouth. "If Garp finds out about this, he'll kill us."
"Actually, the Navy has a top secret way to cross Calm Belt without attracting the attention of the sea monsters there." Emma assured. "It's thanks to the Seastone."
" EMMA-SAN ! " Shouted Helmeppo.
"Seastone?" Lucy repeated. "The stone that allows you to capture those who have eaten devil fruits."
"That's not its only use! In fact, this stone releases energy similar to the ocean! Therefore, we simply need to cover the hull of our ships with it so that they become invisible to the eyes of monsters sailors. "
"Seriously?" Lucy wondered. "It's like camouflage."
" Exactly. "
"Garp-san is going to kill us." Helmeppo feared.
"HAHAHAHA!" Coby sneered. "They're not brother and sister for nothing."
But while the boy was laughing, he didn't see a person staring at him with a pouty pout.
"Why is Coby having fun without me?" Nakata wondered.
Staring at Coby who was chatting happily with his friends, the young nurse felt murderous jealousy as she felt slighted.
"Mugiwara…" She growled. "Are you a threat too? Why is a pirate pretending to be my Coby's friend? Is this a ruse to kill him? Unforgivable."
Letting out a weary sigh, Helmeppo finally lay down on the ground, grunting as he did so.
"It would have gotten out eventually anyway! Even pirates know that Vegapunk is a true genius."
"I've heard of him." Lucy agreed. "It seems he is able to make objects eat devil fruits."
Remembering his confrontation with Magi, when the man used his hat to attack him. She declared.
"Even the Buggy Pirates have an item like this."
"We don't really know how it works." Coby admitted. "Even while discovering new things every day, this world continues to be surrounded by mystery! And that's why I love my new life! I realized to what extent the world in which I lived before our meeting was insignificant! Luffy, I owe a lot to your family.
"Don't talk nonsense." Helmeppo growled. "Since we have been under Garp's orders, I have never been so close to death! It's as if he wants to kill us."
"Don't be so ungrateful, Helmeppo." Coby retorted. "He does this for our good."
However, remembering the training he knew he had with Garp, he couldn't help but add.
"But it's true that he's severe."
"I know." Luffy affirmed. "When I was little, he tried to kill me thousands of times."
"He had me chained to a tree, which was full of hornets' nests." Emma remembered. "He then shook the tree to annoy them and abandoned me! The only way for me to survive was to free myself! I thought I was going to die."
"Don't complain." Luffy retorted. "He tied me to the end of a fishing rod and used me as bait to catch sea monsters! I really thought he was going to let me get eaten."
"HAHAHAHA!" Helmeppo sneered. "It's worthy of him."
"Still, he's an admirable man who made us what we are." Coby assured. "Without him, we would never be as strong! Even though he is a harsh and selfish person, I really like him."
Finally, when Zoro and the others had decided to go to the Galley Company swimming pool, the pirates heard Luffy start to scream.
"What? Are you immigrants?"
Having waited for Coby to return, Jin and Sakura had the right to be introduced.
"My name is Sakura." The zombie affirmed, bowing to Coby.
"This guy is the pirate who attacked the world government." Jin roared, pointing at Luffy. "We must capture him."
However, he took a step back looking horrified.
"If we attack him, we'll get killed."
"SHUT UP!" Helmeppo ordered him. "For once, make a choice."
Seeing them, Luffy started laughing.
"Hahahaha! They're fun! And also, it seems you have a pokemon."
"Indeed." Coby assured, grabbing his pokeball.
Appearing between Luffy and Coby, Larvitar displayed a pouty pout, while he still seemed angry at having lost.
"Oh?" Luffy said, crouching down in front of him. "He really has a strange face."
Then, having fun poking his finger into the pokemon's cheek, Luffy was surprised to see it staring at him angrily, before attacking it.
Larvitar use POUND.
Hit in the face, Luffy collapsed onto his back. Having seen this, Hatterene immediately began to growl and Larvitar was quick to imitate her.
"Lu...Luffy-san." Coby feared, grabbing his pokeball again.
And before the two pokemon could fight, Coby made Larvitar disappear.
"He's been my teammate for some time! I think we still have room for improvement."
"It's nothing." Luffy said, standing up.
at that moment, a hand appeared in front of him.
"Do you want some help?" Nakata asked, showing a gentle smile on his face.
"Huh? Thanks." Luffy thanked her, taking her hand to get up.
However, putting his face in front of hers, Nakata suddenly showed a dark and frightening look, while whispering.
"He's my Coby! Never forget him! If you go near him again, I'll kill you."
"Huh?" The pirate wondered.
However, displaying her gentle smile again, as if she had said nothing, Nakata introduced herself.
"My name is Nakata, Coby's group nurse! Nice to meet you, Luffy-san."
"Huh?" Luffy could only repeat, wondering if he had just had a hallucination.
"By the way, Luffy-san, I haven't told you yet, but before long I'll be heading to the other half of the Grand Line." Coby said.
"The other half?" Luffy repeated.
"Today, I am still too powerless to be able to defeat you." The boy admitted. "But once there, we will become enemies."
Then displaying a confident face, Coby questioned him.
"Do you know what the second half of the Grand Line is called? People call it: the New World."
Hearing this, the pirates behind Luffy said again.
" The new World ?"
"Is Raftel supposed to be the American continent?" Bruno asked.
"Or maybe it's Australia." Raynare remarked.
"It is a sea where those who lead the way to the next era gather! No one knows exactly what lies there! However, everyone agrees on one subject! The man who will succeed in taming this sea and to go to the other end of the Grand Line can become the new heir of Gol D. Roger! He can claim to become the new king of pirates!
"King of the Pirates!" Said Luffy, smiling.
"However, it is my job to prevent any pirates from setting foot on Raftel." Coby stated. "In that case, let's meet in the new world! And this time, let's fight for real! Luffy! I'll wait for you and capture you."
Showing a mocking smile, Raynare questioned him.
"Are you sure of what you're saying?"
"Of course." Coby assured. "I'll be able to capture Luffy! Because... Because when we face each other again! I'll be a high-ranking Navy officer! No! I'll be a Navy admiral."
But immediately, he placed his hands in front of his mouth, before losing all his confidence.
"I'm just an idiot."
Falling onto his ass, he retorted.
"How can someone like me pretend to become an admiral? It's ridiculous! Luffy-san, excuse me! Just because I got a little stronger, I start talking stupid things! It's truly pitiful."
"Coby...have you forgotten what I told you when I met you?" Luffy questioned him.
Surprised, Coby saw Luffy grab his straw hat and stare at it, just like he had done when he and Coby met.
"It's not a question of possibility! For a dream to come true, you just have to have the will necessary to achieve your goal."
Then, showing a confident smile, Luffy declared.
"The day I'm about to become the king of pirates, I hope you'll be the last adversary I'll have to defeat to reach Raftel! And for you to stop me, you need to become admiral! Coby, I'm counting on you. "
widening his eyes, Coby thought he was hallucinating.
"That's impossible! He must be joking! How can he believe that a guy like me can become a Navy admiral."
And yet, knowing that he was serious, Coby suddenly got up, before running away.
"LUFFY-SAN!" He shouted, walking away. "SEE YOU IN THE NEW WORLD."
Surprised by his behavior, Helmeppo and the others remained motionless for a few seconds before following him.
"Hey, Coby! Where are you going?"
" Wait. "
Seeing the small group leaving, Emma began to smile, before declaring.
"Luffy, you're going to regret having had the bad idea of saving his life! If this continues, Coby might become admiral before me."
Snickering upon hearing this, Luffy turned to his sister, before declaring.
"Hey, Emma! By the way, if you're interested, you can always join my crew."
Listening to the conversation, his companions began to shout.
"HUUUUUHHHHHHH?"
Yet only smiling, Emma stuck out her tongue, while retorting.
"Baka! If I want to achieve my dream, I have to imitate Coby! And one day, I will become the chief admiral of the Navy. "
Looking up at the sky, Emma stated.
"Luffy, you want to become the freest man in the world! What I want is to establish true justice for you! And for that, I have to fight a group of people that the Navy doesn't dare not attacked."
Suddenly, thinking of a childhood memory, where she had seen a small boat explode, Emma couldn't help but close her fist, while declaring.
"Only in this way can his death have meaning."
Listening to her without saying anything, Luffy ended up nodding, while declaring.
"Yeah! I'm sure he'll be happy to see what you've done for him! But if you ever get into trouble! Don't hesitate! My crew will always be there to help you."
Immediately, Emma pulled her brother's cheeks, before roaring.
"BAKA! Why would I need your help? You're just my stupid little brother! Are you getting arrogant? It's my job to protect you! I forbid you from putting yourself in danger for me."
Then, regaining her smile, she declared.
"But in any case, I'm happy to see that you've made friends."
And finally, letting go of Luffy, she ends up running to join Coby and the others, while declaring.
"Luffy... It doesn't matter if you are pirates, you and Ace will always be part of my precious family! So be careful."
"AYE!" Luffy assured, waving at her with his arms. "BYE!"
Seeing him doing so, Zoro declared.
"Finally, we shouldn't underestimate the Navy! I have the impression that we have just encountered people who will be formidable enemies in the near future."
"Isn't it?" Luffy asked, smiling at him.
However, looking at his friends, Luffy noticed that he missed some people.
" A den-den mushi ? "
Seeing Pell hand her the object, Vivi seemed surprised.
"You came all this way to give me this?"
"Truly, your father asked me to take you home." The hawk-man admitted. "But I doubt you would be willing to leave your friends."
"Why does he want...?"
Keeping quiet, she asked.
"Is it because of Enies Lobby?"
"Indeed! Your father is worried to death now that he knows that you have declared war on the World Government! And since Alabasta is now an independent country, he is hoping that you could take refuge there for safety."
"I understand." Vivi said. "Nevertheless, I refuse this."
Thinking of her friends, she retorted.
"They saved my life and we saved Alabasta when we needed their help! And after a long journey, I finally feel capable of being strong enough to help them! I refuse to abandon them, at the first sign of danger! Pell, sorry to ask you this, but I would like you to go away leaving me here! "I will return to Alabasta after Luffy becomes the pirate king. "
Not being at all shocked, Pell assured.
"Your father had planned this! That's why he entrusted me with this den-den mushi! With this device, you will be able to contact him in case of danger! And no matter where you find yourself in this world, know that Alabasta will deploy the necessary forces to help you.
Grabbing the object, Vivi thanked him.
" Merci, Pell. "
However, seeing that the man seemed thoughtful, she questioned him.
" Are you okay ? "
Not ignoring the fact that Luffy had declared war on the World Government, Pelle wondered why they did this to save a former member of the Baroque Works.
Getting ready to ask this question, the man fell silent, while the door of habituation opened.
" HEY, HAWK-GUY ! "
Surprised, Pell saw Luffy coming towards him.
" It's been a while.
And before he could react, he felt Luffy hit his back several times while smiling.
"HAHAHAHAHA! I'm so happy to see you! How are you? And Vivi's father? And Neni? Are you staying for dinner? Sanji is having a barbecue! I invite you."
And before Pell could say anything, Luffy pulled him out of the house, before going to the swimming pool.
Having already changed into her swimsuit, Lucy joined Nami and the others at the pool.
"We can say that today was quite surprising! I never thought I would see Coby and the others again."
"Me! I would like to forget all that." Retorted Raynare, in a bikini. "For once, let's forget our problems! Let's forget that we're pirates! And let's try to relax."
"Good idea." A voice assured.
lying on an air mattress, which floated on the water, Aquarius held out an empty glass towards Lucy, before ordering her.
"I'm thirsty! Go get me a drink."
"What are you doing here?" Lucy wondered.
"The pool is fun." Virgo said, floating on a buoy.
"Are you there too?"
" Excuses-nous, Lucy-san. "
lying on a deck chair, with a swimsuit and sunglasses, Loke was sunbathing, while enjoying a mojito.
"We also decided to relax a little."
"You're too relaxed." Lucy retorted.
In response, Loke grabbed a bell to attract the attention of Sanji, who was tending the barbecue.
"Slave, I'm hungry."
"Do you want to taste my kick in your teeth, or do you just want me to stuff your ass with it?" Sanji roared.
Finally, Luffy and the others arrived.
"Sanji, something to eat."
Hearing a cry of fear, Sakura and Emma made out Garp's voice, while his granddaughter noticed.
"Coby and the others get caught by Garp."
Seeing her in a good mood, the zombie declared.
"It's obvious that you really like your little brother."
"It is." Sakura affirmed. "But actually, I care most about him."
" Why ? "
"Because he's an idiot." Sakura assured. "He would be capable of making the stupidest and most dangerous choices! He was like that when we were children! But unfortunately, I could never be there to constantly watch over him! That's why I'm reassured to knowing that he has friends, who are ready to follow him, no matter what he decides.
"I admit I have difficulty understanding your relationship." Sakura confessed. "It's strange knowing that you're a Vice Admiral of the Navy, while your brothers are pirates."
"No matter what they are, they will always be my brothers." Emma retorted.
Then, showing a serious face, she declared.
"Sakura, I want you to understand something! Whether it's Luffy or Ace...if one of my two brothers found themselves in mortal danger, you can trust me that I would drop everything to go immediately save them! Even if the danger is a Shichibukai or a Yonko and even if that would make me an enemy of the Navy, I would never hesitate to go and save them, even if it meant dying in their place.
Thinking of a blond child with a top hat, she assured.
"I've already lost a little brother! There's no way another one will be killed."
