Luna sighed as she sat atop the G-8 base, the crew had been separated. Luna wasn't going to change much with this arc, though she did plan to make a play near the end. She was able to swipe some wine from the ship before they split up, opening it she took a sip. All she had to do now was wait, pulling out her journal she started writing. She never had to worry of others reading her journal as she found cursive from her previous world was illegible to people in this world. Maybe she should watch out for Robin, but with her plans it wouldn't matter much longer.


"Hello Vice Admiral," the man tensed up at the voice. Looking over to his window he saw the pirate, Lunar Reaper. She sat on his railing of his balcony. Before he could move she held up her hand, "no don't get up on my account. I'm only here to help you."

"Help me? Help me how?" He questioned as sweat dripped down his forehead. He heard the rumors that Lunar Reaper was spotted with Strawhat, but now he was face to face with her. He'd be an idiot to not be intimidated, her reputation was fearsome.

A smile crossed her face as she stepped down before moving into his office. Her eyes landed on the gold found on the Strawhat's ship. Jonathan couldn't stop his body from tensing, her eyes met his.

"Now, now, no need to fear. I'm not here for the gold. My captain and our navigator will arrive soon to collect it. So let's make this quick." Jonathan reached for his weapon when she held out a piece of paper. Slowly he reached up and took the paper.

"What's this?"

The Reaper smiled with her eyes closed, "your way out of trouble for losing Strawhat and myself."

He looked back at her in confusion, "first you will confirm that I am apart of the Strawhat crew now. Second you will leak my name. Third you will call that number when asked about how you obtain it you will give my name. You will tell this person that you had Strawhat cornered in your underground safe when Major Shepherd came in blasting a bazooka randomly allowing Strawhat to escape. When trying to recapture us, not only did Shepherd once again foil your attempt than I stepped in and aided in our escape. After explaining all that you inform this person you will be going on a two week vacation with your lovely wife." She held out a golden necklace with a large gem in it, "I suggest the East Blue's Baratie. You could use this to pay or gift it to your wife."

Jonathan looked between the necklace and the pirate, "why are you doing any of this? You earned your bounty by attacking Marines."

Luna let out a laugh, "come now Vice Admiral I know you're much smarter than that. You care for your people, even the prisoners. You turned your back on your mentor's absolute justice. You are a master strategist. When we showed up you could have turned this base upside down in a panic, but no you chose to let us run around while gathering intel on us. You can't tell me you don't know Robin wasn't Major Shepherd." She moved over to his chess set, the necklace and her hands behind her back.

"You could have captured me anytime with a simple call," she picked up the king. "But just like a true captain, you were ready to take anything I would do, so not to let your men get hurt."

She looked over her shoulder with a smile, "you know that I only attack corrupt marines."

Jonathan finally relaxed slightly but still stayed on edge, "all the reports say the men under the attacked are left safe and unharmed... what's in it for you?"

Turning she moved closer to him a smile still on her face, "correct." Luna took his hand and placed the necklace into it, "I'm just sick of that moronic name they have giving me."

She moved over to the window looking out it, "my captain will be showing up soon. Don't be too surprised when we escape." She stood on the railing once more, "well Vice Admiral this is my goodbye." She turned to face him, "the name you will give is Monkey D. Luna." With that Luna let herself fall backwards. Jonathan raced to the railing finding her gone. Shortly after his other window smashed open.


Luna appeared back on the ship next to Robin and Zoro, "so what'd I miss?"

"LUNA!"


Jonathan watched as they escaped, Major Shepherd complained how Jonathan would lose his job. Jessica had enough of his mouth and punched him. Everyone was reported safe after Shepherd's failure, Jonathan's eyes fell on the piece of paper Luna had left him. He was sure that them being able to fight off the Strawhat crew would secure them from HQ... but he wouldn't be a good fisherman if he didn't do anything to help his chance and this was a bait even he couldn't refuse. Picking up his Den Den Mushi, he dialed the number. It rang once before picked up, a voice that sounded like they were eating answered, "WHO IS THIS AND HOW'D YOU GET THIS NUMBER?!"

The voice was loud and familiar to Jonathan, "um, Commander Jonathan of the G-8 sir. I was given this number by Monkey D. Luna."

The line went silent for several minutes, before a loud laugh came over the line. "Did she now?! What else did she say? If you're calling then you must have gotten her favor."

Jonathan repeated the story Luna painted, "she also wanted her name leaked, as well as make it known she's officially joined Strawhat Luffy."

The voice laughed again, "I'll take care of everything. Anything else?"

Jonathan cleared his throat, "um yes she suggested my wife and I have a 2 week vacation."

"Of course. Everything will be taken care of, enjoy your vacation Vice Admiral."

The Den Den Mushi was hung up as Jessica looked at him. "Who was that?"

Jonathan leaded back in his chair heavily with a sigh, "I think it was Vice Admiral Garp..."

Jessica's eyes widened, "what?!"

Pinching his nose as he closed his eyes, he sighed again the necklace heavy in his hand. Opening his eyes they landed on the four bounties on his desk. He picked up the one marked "Lunar Reaper," his eyes scanned over the information with the newest information fresh in his head. He let his head fall into his empty hand.

"How did no one ever notice that the Vice Admiral Garp had the same last name as two young pirates?"


"Luna where were you the entire time?" Chopper asked innocently. Luna just smiled at the doctor, "just tying up loss ends."


They floated while Usopp and Chopper repaired the Going Marry, the fire dial ran out of juice and they began to descend. Calling to the sharp shooter and the doctor to come up they waited as they hit the water. Chopper went to work helping the octopus with its burns, before Luffy grabbed it into a hug. Letting the octopus go everyone wished it well, Nami quickly called everyone to get back to work. Luna stared unbothered as the sea under them started to change. Knowing she could feel the currents Usopp eyed her worried, just as a large wave with Sea Moneys appeared.


The next morning was calmer, before Usopp called out seeing another ship. Before they could even do anything about the new ship the Sea Moneys appeared again this time taking out the new ship in their wake. Robin spotted the next island, and reported fog.

Usopp brought up the ship that was without captain or navigator. When Zoro suggested a battle, Usopp shot down that idea mentioning it not being damaged in the slightest. Luna lounge on the railing of the upper deck, "maybe it was a Davy Back Fight?"

"A Davy Back Fight? What's that?" Asked Nami in confusion. Luna sat up as she looked at Nami.

"It's an archaic game that is played between Captains. They compete in games decided between the captains, the prize is members of their crews, their flag, and bragging rights. Not may captain will bother with the stupidity of the game now but there are pirates out there that build a crew just from winning the games."

Nami's face pulled into a scowl, "who would ever participate in these games?!"

"People who are spineless."


They made it to the island through the thick fog, why the older members were disappointed, the younger ones were excited. Luna sighed before turning around, "you all can explore I'm going to go train a bit."

Luna sensed the Foxy pirates hiding in the fog, rolling her eyes she continued to the back of the Marry. She wasn't interested in getting involved with the stupidity of this arch. She ignored the Foxy pirates cornering them, her eyes closed as she focused on her training.

Her eyes twitched when she heard the gunshot, she held in a face palm knowing Foxy tricked Luffy.

Foxy's crew set up a fair, everyone was so loud. They explained the rules, when they called out her missing presence. Sigh Luna moved to the side of the Marry glaring at Foxy's crew. Several members recognized her immediately and flinched in fear. She jumped off the Marry before moving to Luffy, grabbing his cheeks she pulled on them.

"What did I just go over on the ship not 30 minutes ago?! How dare you let yourself be tricked into this stupidity?"

Luffy tried to explain himself but Luna cut him off, "save it I know why you did it! I've told you before you need to stop letting emotions run your mind." She turned her back to him, "you only need seven players. I'm not participating."

It was a statement not a request, she moved to grab something to eat.


Luna watched in boredom as the first race began. She decided, since cheating was allowed she would give her crew a hand. She watched with a chuckle as Zoro shot the bombs back at Foxy's crew. A large wave formed, Luna took control so that her crew wouldn't be harmed. She moved her focused to Nami, Robin, and Usopp's ship as the others fell behind.

The Foxy fishman attacked only for Luna to make a water shield protecting them, as Robin attacked him. One of Foxy's men called out Luna's interference. A quick glare silenced him, as she heard Foxy.

Foxy was riding down to the coral reef and whirlpool, oblivious to the fact Luna was in the water already sitting on the coral reef under the waves. The Foxy pirate that was in charge with watching her no where insight. She watched as the shark moved closer, Luna made her move and grabbed the shark before throwing him into a current that shot him back out.

On land Foxy shot a smoke screen arrow, Luna grabbed the shark again, knowing Nami would be fine using the currents. Sadly Luna didn't make it back to stop Foxy from using his Devil Fruit. Luna pulled the water out of her clothes as Chopper checked in with the others.

Foxy came over to brag about his devil fruit power. He showed off his power, allowing himself to get hit by the cannon. Foxy choose Chopper as his first prize, as expected he yelled and cried. Zoro called up to Chopper from his spot, calling out to not cry.

"A man would suck it up and quietly watch the rest of this game."

While Nami criticized Zoro, Chopper hardened his expression. Usopp pointed out that Chopper was to compete in this game, but was answered that this was how the games work. Zoro and Sanji move to the playing field already starting their arguments. Sanji was made the ball as the coin toss was done. Luna's eyes narrowed at the referee, when Foxy started running his mouth. Luna walked onto the field as they started fighting, and the referee called out to Zoro about his swords. Luna appeared beside him and held out her hands, the swordsman sighed and handed her his blades. Luna moved to the side lines, watching the referee closely.

After almost giving the Foxy pirates a point the boys started to fight again. Foxy stared in shock over the power they showed. The giant fishman attacked the boys while using weapons, which the referee did nothing about. Sanji in his anger attacked the referee with his shoe, while Usopp held him back Sanji yelled about the blatant cheating. The giant continued to cheat without the referee interfering. The other two of Foxy's crew got back up adorned in their own weapons, that were once again ignored by the referee.

They spiked Zoro into the ground while they set up another attack. They attacked Sanji as Luffy cried out for him to move. Both men stood beaten and cut before falling, they were surrounded by the Foxy pirates. Foxy's pirates were cheering, as the Strawhats look on in horror,but Luna saw they were coming to an agreement to finally work together. She'd need to speak to them later.

"One monster burger, please." Foxy ordered. The three on the field produced more weapons. Luna couldn't hide her smirk, they were challenging a cook to a cooking battle. The announcer saw her smirk and pointed it out just as Sanji moved into his kicking attacks, making the one he attacked go flying into the giant's crushing pans, taking out his own teammate.

Zoro stopped the swordsman with just his hands, throwing him into the giant. As he fell back Sanji knocked him back into a standing position, while Zoro ran in for the final attack. Sanji dealt with the remaining Foxy pirates by kicking him into the referee. Nami had stole the man's referee gear leaving him unable to red card Sanji's attack.

Luna couldn't stop her laugh as the announcer thought the boys were turning on each other again. Sanji used his leg to fire Zoro up to the giants face. He used his momentum to plant the giant into the goal.

The crew cheered at the amazing display, even Foxy's pirates were now cheering the Strawhat crew, angering Foxy. Nami tricked the referee into ending the game. Luna stopped Usopp from attacking Zoro as she handed his swords back to him.

"You're lucky you both cooperated in the end there, I was about to come out on the field to make you. We will be having a discussion about your inter fighting later."

The swordsman's mode deflated knowing the talk wasn't going to be about their teamwork. Luna ignored the winning selection, knowing Luffy is choosing the old man's horse. Though she was getting annoyed when they were attacking Nami for making a smart offer.

"Hey! Shut The Hell Up! If you call yourselves pirates then you know better than anyone why it's known as a Davy Back Fight! Davy was a greedy man he would have done this in the first place he could. Just because she saw throw your cheating ways doesn't mean you can tear her down. Anyone with half a brain would take out the captain first and foremost. It's plainly just the smartest option, and no there have been many that have done just that. Maybe not in your slimey times but long ago when this stupid games began it was common place. So if you don't stop harassing our navigator for being smart, I'll end the games here and now by sinking you all into the sea!"

All the Foxy pirates went quiet in horror. Robin pointed out that the decision would make Foxy apart of the Strawhat crew. Everyone immediately shot that idea down, while Luna shrugged.

"Luffy could just kick him off right after, and if he didn't go we could just leave him here."

The announcer went from calling Nami heartless to being shocked at the coldness coming from her. Luna rolled her eyes at the stupidity of the Foxy's crew as Sanji called them out. Luffy made his decision upsetting Nami, Usopp, and Chopper. Usopp and Nami attacked Luffy for his choice, Luna huffed.

"Stop being so loud we will end up with Chopper back."

Luffy turned to Chopper and promised to get him back, this made Chopper to flop back in his chair in defiance.


The next game was about to commence, which needed a the playing field to be built. While the Foxy pirates worked on that, the Strawhat convened behind it. Usopp was working on the roller blades, while Luffy ate a long kiwi. The rules were explained as they moved onto the field. The cheeta guy came over to smell Luffy, Luffy was able to push the guy away. When their lack of numbers were pointed out everyone looked at Luna.

"Still not playing."

Luffy went to agree to Foxy's offer, Sanji was trying to decide the order. Sanji finished the order and handed it in, being unable to change anything Luna spoke up, "so you do know Luffy doesn't know how to skate right?"

It was then that everyone saw that Luna was right and Luffy couldn't even balance on his skates. The Foxy pirates were laughing as Luna pulled Zoro to the side.

"After this race and until his next one just teach him to balance. He can use his devil fruit to pull himself around the ring."

"You sure that will work?"

"Yes."

When they looked back Nami, Usopp, and Robin were using Luffy's Gum Gum Balloon to roll Luffy. Robin pushed Luffy over the wall pirate, but the fishman knocked Luffy out of bounds.

Nami lost her round due to hypnosis, Usopp was next to race. Zoro and Luna focused on teaching Luffy. Everyone was in awe as Luffy finally stood on his skates. He started to skate but because Zoro didn't teach him to turn it didnt' help much. Robin used her devil fruit to slingshot Usopp ahead.

Foxy used his devil fruit power on Robin, as the tree fell onto the track, Luna punched Foxy in the head.

Robin was against the fishman that caught her earlier. Nami and Usopp schemed to mess with Foxy. Luffy was finally able to skate and everyone one shined with their talents letting Robin take the lead. Nami and Usopp started their plan to screw with Foxy. They finished and were up two to one, as they took a break. Luna stood behind the Foxy pirate as they yelled about their plan. As the round began Foxy attacked the others, using earplugs to stop Nami and Usopp's plan. When it was down to Robin she knew she couldn't win and disqualified herself.

Luna knew her plan and smiled softly, the beam wore off as Foxy got over confident. Before Foxy could fire another a Luffy, Robin put her plan into action. When the Foxy pirates figured it out they had to get by not only Sanji and Zoro, but behind them next to Robin was Luna with a water shield surrounded them both.

Robin successfully made Foxy use his own beam on himself, as Luffy passed the finished line. Luffy claimed Chopper back for the crew. Foxy tricked Luffy to another round when it was called a draw. The first game was a dodgeball game, Robin was given the rule book.

Chopper race into the game after eating a rumble ball, both Luffy and Chopper caught the balls. While Foxy's men tried to attack them. Foxy was hit in the face by both balls but was deemed safe. Next to get the balls were Sanji and Zoro who took out eighteen players. Robin tossed the ball back to Chopper and Luffy, who took out ten members. The giant got both balls, only hitting Usopp and twenty two members of Foxy's crew. Robin used her devil fruit to get the guy known as, Hamburg out. When a referee tried to call it a safe, Robin was quick to correct him. Foxy was the only one left on the field. Nami gave the ball to Sanji who was quickly knocked out by his one weakness, women.

Foxy brought out his cannon, which Robin was confirmed was legal. Zoro cut the ball in half getting himself out, and gave Foxy a new ball. Chopper and Luffy were the only ones left. Chopper was hit in the face, so wasn't out. Foxy's crew tried to help him, Chopper was still knocked out of bounds. Luffy thanked the doctor who was happy even being out.

It was down to captain to captain, the outside players had fake balls. Luffy stretched so far out one of Foxy's crew to get a ball and they shuffled them around. While Luffy caught the balls Foxy fired one into Luffy's face but he was disqualified after eating it. Foxy choose Robin to stop her from helping them.


They were playing red light green light, Luna moved over to sit with Robin to talk. Since she wasn't playing she was able to do as she pleased. While they played Luna spoke to Robin, "so when Chopper ends up on their side, please watch out for him. I don't think he'll be able to deal with that woman again."

"So you foresaw this?" Robin asked. Luna waved her hand dismissively, "of course I have. Why did you think I wouldn't play?"

Foxy was announced the winner, Foxy was trying to rub in Luffy's face that he couldn't get back both members he lost. Foxy denied Luffy another match. Why everyone was trying to figure it out, Nami and Luna had the same idea. Offering the entire crew, Foxy eyed the crew, his eyes falling on Luna.

"Deal!"


Luna sat next to Robin and Chopper to watch, instead she had her journal. Robin watched the woman write in a strange script, "what is that?"

Luna peeked at her from the corner of her eye, "I'll tell you when it comes time."

Luna lost herself in her writing that she was able to ignore the whole fight. She had little doubt in Luffy so didn't see the need to watch knowing there wouldn't be much to see. When she snapped back to reality the celebration was underway. Sighing she closed her journal as she stood and moved from the stands with Robin and Chopper. Everyone surrounded Luffy after Chopper wrapped him up, as they were happy that Luffy won.

Foxy tried to attack Luffy only for his arm to stretch. Picking Robin and Chopper wasn't a shock, he claimed their flag. Luffy was annoyed to pick more, when Zoro reminded him that a crew has to follow their captain's orders. The ex-Foxy's were making fun of Foxy, only for Luffy disbanded them.

"Captain's orders are absolutely. So I don't want to hear anyone complaining."


They moved to say goodbye to the old man and his horse. Luffy gifted the flag to him, an earthquake interrupted them. It was his grandson who was delighted to see his grandfather again. They had a dinner before sending them off.


Luna knew what was coming today as they were in the middle of a small storm. Everyone was trying to keep the Marry safe, when they heard a familiar voice. Seeing Foxy fighting the storm, Luffy took gave them a life line, and that's how Foxy ended up on the Marry.

Foxy was having a pity party and begged Luffy for help. Sanji fed the Foxy crew, Foxy complained earning Sanji's ire. When the stormed ended the boys were fishing, while Chopper tried to escape the girl. Their old ship was seen and the Strawhat crew were more than happy to boat them off. Hearing the drama going on Luna had no intention on watching the stupidity again. She went to plan for the real fight... Kuzan Aokiji.

She went back to the kitchen writing out plans, and thinking to herself. She doesn't think she'll be able to stop Robin's freezing, she passed Robin and Chopper as she gathered supplies. She was going to need all the warm clothes, maybe some bandages to wrap her hands and fingers with for added warmth.

Sighing she heard the cheering from the ship next door. Luna moved out of the bedroom, "Robin, Chopper, stay here. I'll be back."

Luna appeared on the Foxy's ship, "where are my captain and crewmates?"

Her voice made everyone freeze, they got away from dealing with her before but now they didn't seem so lucky. Turning they found her standing on the railing looking down out them, but was truly terrifying was the scythe in her hand.

Foxy tried to placate her, "they are ju-just looking at our ship more thoroughly."

She was before him in an instant, with a quick swipe of her blade the points on his head was cut. They fell to the floor as Foxy joined them in fear. Her eyes were pitch black, "I don't like liars!"

A voice came from the hole beside them, "LUNA?!"

Her eyes faded back into their normal blue color, "Luffy?" She turned to look down the hole, "there you guys are. Give me a second I'll get you all out in a moment."

With her back turned Foxy decided it was a good idea to attack her. Quickly he went to kick her into the hole but all that happened was a hole appeared in her body. Around Foxy's foot was a ring of water. Everyone's eyes widened seeing this, Luna's body stood up straight. Her hair seemed to gain a life of its own floating around her, her fist tightened around her scythe. Her head jerked towards Foxy, her eyes now pure glowing white. Turning fully she place her scythe into both her hands before breaking it in half with a jerk. The broken piece grew a blade, so now she had two smaller scythes, as she walked towards Foxy slowly.

Her crew could only hear screams from above them. Nami and Usopp were horrified holding each other in fear. Once Luffy confirmed it was Luna up there, they knew it wasn't her screams. Suddenly a ladder was thrown down to them. They reached the top to see the Foxy pirates were in a pile and Luna stood by with her arms crossed an angry look on her face. Luna's eyes opened still not looking pleased she pointed back to the Marry.

"Now."


Once everyone was back on the Marry they carried on to the next island. Chopper noticed Luna rubbing her head, "are you okay Luna?"

She sighed, "just a headache Chopper. I'll be fine once we are far away from that idiotic man."

Chopper nodded before he could go back to his medicine making Luna stopped him.

"Chopper do you have something to help with severe hypothermia?" When the reindeer nodded she continue, "make extra. We're going to need it."


They landed on an island for lunch as they looked for ingredients. Robin was reading while everyone was eating Chopper saying for her to not read too much or she'll become an icky bug known as a 'bookworm.' This made Luna and Robin laugh at how cute he was, Foxy showed up again but was made quick work of by Luffy. After they left they decided the stock up on supplies.

Chopper pointed out the line in the trail they were on, they came to a clearing where Luna spotted Aokiji's head. Chopper rushed ahead seeing the man as a mushroom, only to fall back when he ran into him. Luna stayed near Robin putting herself between the two. The others rounded the rock seeing Aokiji for themselves.

"Huh a raccoon dog?"

Chopper angrily corrected him, "I'm a reindeer! Can't you see the antlers!"

Everyone rounded the rock, when Robin saw him. In her shock she fell back, her fear triggered everyone. Luna had already summoned her scythe glaring the man down, standing firmly between Robin and Aokiji.

"Who is he?" Questioned Luffy.

"He's a Admiral for the marines, Kuzan Aokiji!" Luna answered her glare unwavering.

"Hey I'm not here on official business. I'm just out for a stroll. My how you've grown, Nico Robin."

"Don't talk to her!" Luna yelled, it shocked everyone for a minute.

"Admiral?! That's the one of the high potions!" Sanji explained. Robin nodded her eyes unmoving from Aokiji, "yes there a three who currently hold that rank; Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru. The only one who outranks them is fleet admiral Sengoku the navy's top official. The man you see before you is one of the three men known as the world government's ultimate powerhouse."

Aokiji ignored Usopp's question as he saw Nami and was none too gentlemanly to her. While Aokiji went on a mindless rant, making the others doubt Robin and her reaction. He laid down as he explained he was only confirming Robin's whereabouts. Luffy went to attack him only to be stopped by Usopp and Sanji.

Luna straightened, her weapon disappearing, "we got company. Chopper be ready." Turning to the bushes behind them she called out. "It's fine come out."

Everyone watched in confusion, including Aokiji. Before shipwreck civilians came out of the bushes. The crew worked to help the castaways, making sure nothing too serious was wrong. Luna stood near Aokiji to watch him, while the others were distracted Luna spoke low to Aokiji.

"You will not leave here with Robin and we are ready to put our lives on the line for her."

Aokiji didn't acknowledge her as he gave information out to the others. Luna took this moment to kick him in the head, "do your job and help them."

Aokiji did nothing about her attack but did get up instructing the castaways to pack up their stuff. Everyone moved to the shore as Aokiji showed off his power, making a frozen bridge to the next island and freezing a sea monster.

After saying goodbye to the castaways they moved up the shore only to see Aokiji once more. Luna body tensed, not going unnoticed by Zoro, who followed her example.

"How should I put this? You're the spitting image of your grandfather Monkey D. Luffy."

It was now Luffy's turn to tense. "Or maybe I should say you're as reckless and as hard to figure out."

"You know... my grandpa?"

"Seriously Luffy and Luna's?" Usopp questioned.

"Your grandfather helped me out once a long time ago. That's why I'm here. I wanted to see you, Luna, and Nico Robin together with my own eyes. On second thought maybe I should just kill you. The government still don't consider you a threat, but I know enough of your history to see you're a formidable crew. You maybe few in number, but with the shrewd rouges gathered here this crew will likely be a problem later on. Considering the circumstances regarding your initial bounty, the numerous daring actions you've taken, and the speed of your overall progress. I've fought outlaws for most of my life but thinking about how you'll turn out scares the hell out of me."

"Hey Wait! You said you were here to check things out not to kill anyone." Usopp yelled.

"One among you I consider the most dangerous, that would be you; Nico Robin."

"So despite everything you are here for Robin! Now I'm really gonna kick your ass!" Luffy yelled.

"The size of her bounty isn't merely a reflection of her strength and power. It also represents something else. That's the level of threat and danger she pose to the world government. That's why a 79 million berry bounty was placed on her head at the tender young age of eight. I'm impressed you were able to survive especially as a child, you managed to betray, side step, and escape from everyone in your past and found a new partner to make use of. You survived in the underworld by being quick to switch sides. And now you've chosen this crew as your next haven."

Sanji had enough of Aokiji's talk, "that's enough jerk. I'm not gonna stand here and speak to a lady like that. What kind of ridiculous grudge do you have against Robin?!"

Usopp tried to quiet him as Aokiji answered, "I don't have any against her. The only connection we have between us is I let her escape from me one time, but that's about it. And it was a long time ago. You will all learn soon enough that protecting this troublesome woman leads to nothing but regret. You need proof consider this, every organization that she's had something to do with in the past has been annihilated, not one single solitary member has escaped but her. Why is that, Nico Robin?"

"SHUT UP YOU JERK THE PAST DOESN'T MATTER!"

Everyone else defended her while Zoro and Luna stood as her bodyguards.

"I see. So these poor fools don't suspect a thing?"

Robin snapped, "what's the point? If you're gonna arrest me just do it already!"

She launched an attack on Aokiji, Luna taking her stance.

"AHH! HE SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES!"

"He's not down yet! Don't let your guard down!" Luna yelled as Aokiji began to reform. He turned grass into a blade with his ice. He swung to cut her when Zoro stopped his blade. Sanji jumped forward to kicked it out of his hands. Aokiji grabbed Zoro's shoulder and Sanji's leg as Luffy punch him in the gut. Aokiji let his ice freeze the parts of their body he was touching. All three fell to the ground in pain, leaving Robin open for attack.

"You have some very loyal friends, but you will never change Nico Robin."

"No that's not true."

Aokiji let himself fall forward catching Robin and freezing her. Luffy was angered by that and yelled at him. Aokiji moved to shatter her but Luna was faster. She caught his arm as it froze hers. Luffy set her aside while Luna shattered her own arms to grow those back. Nami attacked the Admiral, only to be knocked down. Luffy called out that this was his fight, Luna nodded.

"Nami let's go Chopper's gonna need help!" The four race back to the ship. Once there she kicked Usopp out, "Usopp get the clothes I have set out for after. Nami come help me and Chopper."

The three worked on defrosting Robin, they diligently to work the ice off her body. "Chopper I'm gonna try something. You and Nami keep up with the water and I'm going to try to make her blood pumps out to her extremities."

Luna placed her hands over Robin's heart, forcing it to pump. It took sometime but they got to the point where Chopper could watch after them.


Night fall came and everyone but Luna was asleep. Robin awoke to find all the crew surrounding her but one. She made her way on deck to see a familiar scene, Luna watching the night sky from the back of the ship.

"You should be resting." The voice called out to Robin. She moved to the woman's side. The two stood in silence for several moments before Robin spoke, "you knew he was there."

"Yes."

Another pause filled the air, "and he was going to attack us."

"Yes."

"Would you do anything have changed those out comes?"

"No, you and Luffy were going to be frozen either way I handled it."

"Thank you."

"Come on, let me make you a warm drink." Luna pulled Robin into the kitchen, she fixed some tea. She set the cup in front of the woman, "sorry I know you prefer coffee but I'm not sure how to work the coffee press."

"No this is fine." Robin sipped the tea, "green tea?"

Luna gave a smile, "yeah I know, but I'm a sucker for green tea and mochi." She placed a plate with several mochi on it. Robin couldn't stop the smile cross her face, she sometimes forgets how young her crew mate was. Taking one of the pink mochi she bit into it and found no filling.

"These are my special full mochi ones."

"They're good." Silence filled the kitchen as the two women ate. After eating their treat Luna set a hand on Robin's own. This caught her attention, meeting her eyes Luna spoke.

"I told you before Robin... you're not in this alone anymore."


Nami had them stay four days for the two to recover fully, they had summer weather for three of the day. Which Luna and Chopper all but forced Luffy and Robin to lay in. Luna called a meeting in the kitchen as Sanji served coffee for Robin and tea for Luna.

Luna pulled out her journal and pulled out several pages, "I was planning everyone's haki training."

She handed the papers to the ones who were going to train with observation haki. Usopp, Nami, and Sanji, looked over their papers. Luffy spoke up, "Hey! Where's Mine?!"

Luna ruffled his hair, "I'll be training you personally Lu. You don't need a paper."

Luffy smiled widely remembering their training as kids. While Luffy was lost in his memories Zoro spoke up, "and mine?"

Luna turned her head to look at Zoro, "you're in charge of training Sanji. You have the basics down from your swordsmanship has you farther than everyone else. Once we get these four trained on the basics we can move to group training. Nami you will help Usopp with his training today. Chopper and Robin if I could ask you to not be out on deck, I'd appreciate it."

The two nodded at the woman as Sanji spoke up, "hey why do I have to train under Mosshead?"

Luna gave him a blank look, "I think it's time the three of us had that talk. Usopp, Nami I'll come to you both soon. Lu, I'll meet you at the front of the ship. You two come with me."

Luna made her way to the back on the ship with Zoro and Sanji. Once at the back she turned to them her eyes closed and pinching her nose.

"We are going to deal with this before it becomes a mountain. Sanji, Zoro you two need to step it up."

Both looked offended but was stopped by Luna, "what you both pulled at the Davy Back Fight was my tipping point. I thought the beat down you took would have knocked some sense into you both, but it seems I was incorrect. The two of you play important piece as Luffy's right and left wings. Zoro, obviously as the first mate, and Sanji as the third of the monster trio."

Both men stayed silent as she continued, "I thought you could figure out the hierarchy without me Sanji. It's simple, it goes; Luffy as captain, Zoro as first mate, you are third, then me, Robin, Nami, and Chopper and Usopp are interchangeable. This is based on how they can handle an emergency, and their skills. You both are a representation of Luffy, you fighting like you do is disgraceful. A health rivalry is fine but not how you both preformed. I know you both are going to be great and help Luffy succeed, but we are nipping this in the butt now. From now on you are both going to help each other improve, and I won't hear any complaints."

She moved past them before calling over her shoulder, "start your training. I expect you both to make ample progress by the end of the day."

She left them as she moved to Usopp and Nami. Acting like she didn't just lecture two parts of the monster trio she stood next to Usopp

"Usopp, I want you to focus on the horizon, Nami will be sneaking up on you. Not every minute but periodically your job is to sense her before she touches you." She looked back at Nami, "you understand your job?"

Nami nodded as Luna continued, "Nami your training will be trying to sense everyone else as they train. Try to visualize their presence, during your rest time."

With those two given their orders Luna moved to the front of Marry to Luffy. She pulled out a blind fold as she handed it to Luffy. A smirk crossed her face as she pulled out a bamboo practice sword coating it in armament haki.

"Ready Lu?" There was no answer beside a loud yell of pain from Luffy.


It took longer than Luna hoped, mainly because she forgot to tell Chopper to ignore Luffy's cries in pain. Once everyone reconvened, Luna congratulated them on their progress.

"And as a surprise I made a favorite training dinner of Luffy." The boy, covered in bruises, cheered "REALLY?!"

A smile played over her face as Sanji looked shocked, "of course and come now Sanji you didn't expect me to make you cook after training."

She sat large bowls of roast beef stew in front of them. Everyone's mouth watered at the smell, "this smell amazing Luna-swan!" Sanji complemented. Luffy had already downed his bowl before Luna slid hers in front of him.

"Thank you Sanji. I left the bone so we could use it for more broth later." The cook nodded as Luna inquired on the others training.

"Usopp was able to catch me about fifty percent of the time near the end, and I was only able to sense Usopp and Chopper." Nami sounded discouraged. Luna smiled at her, "Nami that's amazing. Chopper wasn't even on deck so that's an improvement, don't sell yourself short. Usopp good job I had only been hoping for twenty five percent."

The pair couldn't stop the smiles on their faces at her praise. She turned to Zoro to hear about Sanji's training, the swordsman didn't hold back.

"After you left it wasn't easy start..." Sanji began to sweat remembering her dress down she gave them. "But he made decent progress, was able to dodge my attacks when he wasn't sensing you girls."

Sanji eyed Luna as she nodded, a sigh escaped him. "Sanji you need to be able to block us out and focus on the fight. Your next task will be sensing everyone but Nami, Robin, and I."

Sanji happily replied, "of course Luna-swan."

Luna gave Luffy another bowl without comment when Chopper spoke up, "Luna aren't you gonna eat."

Luna smiled, "I ate while I trained Lu."

"I KNEW I SMELLED FOOD!!!"
