[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Shakky was standing in front of an old building, listening to the distant explosions and feeling the tremors, when the sound of glass falling inside her establishment occurred; she was smoking, ignoring the explosions and looking towards the sound of a bottle being destroyed by the tremor.
"Damn... my 40-year-old whiskey... Someone is going to pay for this. I'll charge 300 million plus interest..." she said, exhaling smoke from her cigarette.
"Shakky!!!" She heard someone calling her from a distance, as Hachi was carrying Camie and Bonney alongside, running towards the woman in front of the building, which had the sign, Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
"Hachi?!" She was surprised to see the fish-man showing up amidst all that chaos.
"Nee... we finally made it, we have to wait for Rayleigh and the others, they were fighting an ex-fleet admiral..." Hachi informed, quite worried.
"Ex-fleet admiral... Kong." She said with a nostalgic tone from her time at sea. "I heard he was here from the navy radio I decrypted and that your captain had fought against Kizaru and defeated him, which scared the marines; now he's directly battling Kong himself." She stated.
"What? Mugiwara defeated Kizaru?" Bonney couldn't be more surprised while Camie was confused and Hachi sighed in relief.
"Anyway, let's go inside; their fight will take a few hours to resolve." Shakky spoke, wanting to return to her bar and protect her bottles before they all got destroyed.
"But what about the others?" Hachi asked, worried about his companions.
"They're already on their way..." Shakky said as the group approached with Geppo, and Rayleigh, being the only one who couldn't use the technique, came running along with them.
Everyone landed in front of them a moment later. "Finally, we arrived..." Nami commented, relieved.
"But what about Luffy?!" Vivi exclaimed as the fight continued with explosions and tremors in the distance.
"The demon will continue fighting the monkey... I hope he wins, otherwise he won't be worthy of making me a god as soon as I defeat him." Enel complained.
"Woollf" Chouchou barked at that.
"Shut up mutt, I'll make you pay later for peeing on me, a man who will become a god!" Enel grumbled.
"A god!!" Camie grimaced as everyone else looked at Enel as if he were an arrogant fool.
"This group is really strange anyway, it's been a few days since I last saw him, Rayleigh..." Shakky commented, taking another drag while Rayleigh scratched his head.
"That's true, I was betting there and I owe some money..." He said in an apologetic tone.
"Let's talk more later, come in now. I need to make sure my bottles don't break." She spoke and everyone followed having no other choices.
"I'll leave this admiral here on the street." Hugo said as he carried Kizaru on his shoulder.
"Guys!" At that moment, new figures began to emerge from both sides.
Chopper, Usopp, Bepo, and Uta appeared on one side and Kuina, Nojiko, and Robin came from the other, landing at the entrance of the bar in front of the others.
"You finally arrived..." Yamato commented.
"What's happening... the whole place is trembling..." Kuina complained.
"Who's fighting Luffy..." Usopp commented, not recognizing who could be battling in the distance transformed into a golden monkey. His attention was drawn to the powerful unknown presence at the scene and he looked at the knocked-out man on the ground. "WHAT?! That's a navy admiral!!" He exclaimed with a grimace!
"Navy admiral!!!" Chopper also shouted while Bepo exclaimed along with terror, Uta, Robin, Kuina, and Nojiko frowned at that.
"It's a long story..." Alvida informed.
"Anyway, I'm going to enter this establishment and prepare a drink for the master!" Baby-5 said starting to enter the place.
The others followed and all stormed into the bar while Shakky served everyone on the other side of the counter.
"So... I've heard a lot about your adventures through the seas, you really know how to draw attention." Shakky commented to them as she rested her hand on her chin and looked at all of them scattered throughout the bar.
"Shakky-Sama knows about our adventures? We've had many!" Shirahoshi commented cheerfully in a chair while swinging her tail.
Shakky smiled at the innocent mermaid, "I've received some rather peculiar information about you all. One of them is that you are the daughter of Neptune who was in her room when she disappeared. How did a mermaid from this side of the world end up in the East Blue?" She asked curiously, having heard some channels talk about the disappearance of the mermaid princess and seen her picture on Luffy's lap sitting on the throne of the Goa Kingdom, so it was easy to connect the dots when her appearance matched the description from the den den mushi.
"I can't really say," she spoke while touching her chin. "I just know I reappeared on a beach by Luffy-Sama and along with Megalo, there was also a prophecy that this would happen, my father was always against it, but then I finally met Luffy-Sama!" She said, still not quite understanding what happened, but it was amazing for her. "After that, I encountered many things I could never have imagined in my life," she concluded.
"Well, it seems the straw hat boy managed to find many incredible companions," Rayleigh commented, looking at the group. "May I know how you all met your captain?" He asked, eager to hear a good story as explosions occurred outside and the bar shook occasionally.
Yamato nodded and decided to speak first. "Luffy also made me appear on that beach, so I owe a lot to him for being free from my father's clutches and the collar he had placed on me," Yamato commented.
BOOOM
Kuina spoke up next, being the first to be summoned by Luffy. "Luffy gave me another chance to live. So I owe a lot to him and am pursuing my dream," she said, holding her sword firmly.
"Well, I didn't like that guy at the beginning, but I don't hate him anymore..." Lami commented, crossing her arms, also remembering her summoning on the East Blue beach.
Earthquake
"The captain is incredible, he also summoned me," exclaimed Bepo while Lami had some wrinkles on her forehead, after all, Luffy had practically kidnapped her and Lami had been beaten that day.
"Well, Luffy helped me and also gave me the chance to become stronger by opening my eyes to the true strength I would find in the sea," Zoro commented.
Soon after, Chouchou barked, "Woof Woof!"
BOOOM
Earthquake
Nobody understood, only Yamato who decided to speak. "Luffy also gave Chouchou a chance to become stronger and protect what he loves," Yamato translated Chouchou's barking.
"Luffy also helped me in my hometown. Since then, I am becoming a brave warrior of the sea," Usopp replied with some pride.
Earthquake
"Well, that guy hit on me, but in the end, I am at sea doing something I never expected to do and I don't regret it," Reiju spoke.
BOOOM
"Well, the captain saved me when I was a slave at a Marine base," said Hugo. "He gave me strength and a chance to avenge my enemies. I've been following him since," Hugo responded firmly.
BOOOM
Earthquake
"Luffy gave me the opportunity to protect my island, which was being terrorized by Arlong and the others, with the very power I received, I was able to fight them," Nami said.
"Luffy invited me to go to sea with him and helped my sister become strong. I accepted and today we are married," Nojiko commented.
Earthquake
"Well, I was doing wrong things," Hachi said embarrassed and scratching his head, not wanting to face Nami. "But Luffy gave me a chance and spared many of my companions' lives. So, I've been sailing since then, trying to atone for my sins," Hachi concluded.
BOOOM
Camie looked surprised at Hachi while Bonney was silent the whole time, listening to each person's story.
"My husband had known me before everyone else, he punched me saying I was the love of his life, and I met him again in Loguetown... Like a love story, and we have been together ever since..." Alvida said, while many found what she told there bizarre.
BOOOM
"Luffy saved my country from a terrible enemy and gave me strength. Well, we got married and now we are sailing together, I hope to have a family soon," Vivi said since Luffy was going to be a father, she wanted to have his child as well.
"Luffy came to my land. He said we could be friends, even though I was a monster, and told me we could face great adventures at sea. I didn't believe him at first but in the end, I accepted and I don't regret it. Today, I have many friends and many adventures," Chopper said, eating cotton candy that Shakky had given him.
BOOOM
Earthquake
"Luffy gave me a new chance at life, and thanks to him, I'm actually living my dream..." Robin said, her hand on her chin, but there was a hint of a woman in love in her tone.
"The demon came to my house and beat me. He made me realize that I was not a true God. Now, I'm on the path to becoming one, once I win," Enel spoke in an arrogant tone.
"Well, Luffy is my childhood friend. When he came to see me..." Uta said in an embarrassed tone, thinking about the night they spent together. "He invited me to have a life with him... I accepted, since we have a promise, and I don't regret it," she said, also sounding like another woman in love.
"Well, master knows very well how to punish this servant," Baby 5 spoke while preparing a drink next to Shakky, while everyone looked at her strangely.
BOOOM
Earthquake
"Well, it seems there are many conquests here, but really a good crew," Rayleigh made his final comment after hearing each of their stories.
The explosions were still continuing outside.
Rayleigh decided to continue. "And are you entering the New World?" he asked, but Zoro shook his head.
"It doesn't seem like the captain wants to do anything more, he said something big is going to happen," he said.
"It's true, Luffy isn't planning to go to the New World now," Nami spoke up right after, confirming what Zoro said.
"Something big is going to happen?" Rayleigh murmured, looking at Shakky at that moment, wondering if she knew anything, but she just shook her head.
"I want to know more about you all... but I also want to talk more with your captain about your adventures and this strange motivation..." Shakky commented.
"Anyway... We'll know soon," Rayleigh said, as it had been 2 hours since they entered the bar and they were still drinking while the fight continued outside.
It was after 3 hours that things finally began to calm down. The sound of footsteps finally came from the door, as Luffy finally appeared at that moment. He was only wearing his pants, which had many tears and burns.
He had blood all over his body but kept a smile on his face as he looked around at everyone. "It's finally over," he declared.
