The next day, Yukiko and Pachi woke up bright and early.
"Even though we had been transported to another world, I guess my internal clock hasn't changed. Hm, maybe I should make something for breakfast for everyone." Yukiko spoke to herself as she changed into a silver tank top and black shorts comfortable enough to move in.
Heading to the kitchen, she saw Sanji out and about.
"Hey Sanji, you mind if I help make breakfast?"
"Huh? Oh I'd love that Yuki-chan!" Sanji swooned.
"Alright, time for my partners. Clarabelle, Ruby, time to get to work!" Yukiko said bringing her Miltank and one of her Alcriemes out.
"Whoa, a cow and a creature made of cream?" Sanji asked.
And on cue Sparks popped up.
"Bzzt!
Miltank the Milk Cow Pokémon
Miltank produces up to five gallons of highly nutritious milk, supporting the lives of people and other Pokémon since ancient times. This Pokémon needs to be milked every day, or else it will fall ill. The flavor of Miltank milk changes with the seasons. It is said that kids who drink Miltank's milk grow up to become hearty, healthy adults.
Alcrieme the Cream Pokémon and the Evolved form of Milcery. Ruby Cream Variant.
The moment it evolved, it took on a sweet and tart flavor. This is because of the way its cells spontaneously shifted during evolution."
"Wow, the guys back at Baratie would love you two." Sanji said petting them.
As the two got to work, Yukiko wanted to provide the food from her world.
She made Fluffy Eevee Pancakes, Liligant Floral Tea, Combee Waffles with Honey, Miltank au Lait, Aprijuice and her special Fancy Pokepuffs.
"Alright, Sanji save me some Waffles and Pokepuffs, I need to feed my Pokémon now."
"You got it, my dear Yuki!"
Yukiko got her current 5 other Pokémon out and got their food set just as the others were getting up.
"Whoa, what's that yummy smell? Breakfast already?!" Luffy cheered.
"Wow! I've never seen these kinds of dishes before." Nami said.
"Oh, Yuki-chan helped me. These are dishes from her homeworld." Sanji clarified.
"Wow! These pancakes are so fluffy and chewy!" Usopp said. "And this sweet Aprijuice ain't bad either."
Luffy kept stuffing his face with the Waffles until Sanji took a plate and some Pokepuffs.
"Hey, I was about to eat those!" Luffy said.
"Yukiko asked me to save her some so Bug off!" Sanji growled as Yukiko stepped in.
"Yuki-chan I got the food safe like you wanted!"
"Thanks Sanji." She smiled.
Luffy quietly watched the exchange but blinked as Yukiko offered Sanji a Mocha Puff that he happily accepted.
Puff......oh, another for him to eat!
-----------
After breakfast, the crew got in their positions.
"Gotta admit, Yukiko knows how to cook. She's as good as Sanji." Usopp said patting his full belly.
"Added to the fact she feeds her creatures like this too. No wonder they like her." Zoro layed out on the deck for a nap.
"Nami, when will we reach the Grand Line?" Luffy asked his navigator.
Nami sighed. "We only left Lougetown a couple of days ago. It's going to take a few more before we get to the Grand Line, just be patient okay."
"Okay~"
"I haven't had the chance to ask about where we are going. So what is the Grand Line?" Yukiko asked as Pachi rode on her head.
"The Grand Line Is the sea that separates the other four along with the calm belt, not only is it considered one the most dangerous sea. But it's also never been fully explored. However, the one man that ever did before his execution was late pirate king Gold Rodger. He also started the Great Pirate Era." Nami paused, "The end of the Grand Line Is said to be where he left the greatest treasure known as One Piece, it's said that whomever retrieves One Piece will become the next pirate king."
"And I'll be the one to be the pirate king!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Well, Why do you want to be the pirate king?" She asked.
"The Pirate King is the freest man in the world, I also made a promise to shanks." He took off his hat and held it out in front, "the owner of this Straw Hat to return it to him when I became pirate king."
Yukiko smiled as she could tell Luffy was destined for great things.
"Hey! I see a huge flock of birds on the starboard side!" Usopp called from the crow's nest.
Luffy looked in that direction.
"Huh. A bunch of birds."
"You think they found a bunch of fish or something?" Yukiko asked.
"Pachipa?"
"I'll get it!" Shouted Luffy he jumped off the figure head and clenched his fist Luffy spun his arm around. "GOMU GOMU NO NET CATCH!" He yelled, thrusting his right arm forward sending it out over the railing and out over the sea, it stretched and stretched before twanging, Luffy had caught something. "Oh it's big. Sushi~ sushi~ I'm gonna eat some sushi~." Luffy sang as his arm contracted and started to spring back.
Yukiko and Pachi was surprised of this.
"How, how is his arm?!"
"Pach?!"
"Oh Luffy ate a Devil Fruit, basically fruits that give a superhuman ability but in turn you lose the ability to swim." Nami explained. "He ate the Gum Gum Fruit making him a rubber man.
But then Yukiko noticed something off.
Not only was it heading their direction, it looked like it would hit them!
"Ah!" Yukiko, Pachi, and Sanji got out of the way in time, but the rubber arm proceeded to crash into the sleeping Zoro sending him flying overboard.
"Ah! Sorry Zoro." Luffy said not sounding that sorry at all.
"Luffy! Be careful!" Sanji and Yukiko yelled. The latter redirected her attention to what they found. "It's a little girl."
------------
Usopp was just replacing the wet cloth on the girls head when she sprung awake with a start, head butting him and knocking him to the floor. "OUCH!" She said.
"Wow, you woke up earlier than we thought." Nami said as they were all in the kitchen.
"Bet your hungry, just stay right there and I'll whip something right up." Sanji called over his shoulder from the small stove.
"What's your name?" Yukiko asked her.
The girl frowned. "Before asking a person's name you should state your own first."
"Oh right. Well, I'm Nami," Nami started. "The cook is called Sanji. The one you knocked out is Usopp. The guy with the frown and green hair is Zoro."
"Shut it."
"I'm Yukiko, and this is Pachi." Yukiko pointed to her partner.
"Papach!"
"And I'm Luffy the captain of this pirate crew." He smiled. The girls jaw hit the ground and she froze in place with a look of terror. "Where heading to the Grand Line."
"Uh, you okay hun?" Yukiko asked in concern.
"Hello~" Luffy called but the girl still didn't budge, "She's not answering." He said.
-----------------
The little girl had the blanket they'd given her wrapped around her tightly and she was trembling. But Yukiko volunteered to stay with her and she placed her hand on the girls shoulder and the girl practically jumped a mile in the air and shot backwards.
"You, you come to finish me off pirate!" The girl trembled.
"No of course not I just came to see how you were doing." She said.
"You scared I'll run off or something?!." The girl accused glaring at her.
"Not at all, but we did help you from drifting in the ocean, you were about to sink. Plus they helped me before I joined them too." Yukiko said. "Not to mention the chef won't poison you either. He's too kind for that. He may be a pirate but he's a chef first, that would be an insult to him."
--------
After talking with Apis and even giving her Pokepuffs.
"So you're on the run from Marines? Why would they target you?" Yukiko asked in concern as the others were in the room too.
But Apis wouldn't reveal why.
"What's with that." Usopp complained.
Sanji turned around from where he was washing the dishes. "What's the big deal. She must have her reasons."
"That's true, can you at least tell us where it is you live." Yukiko asked.
"What? Oh, yes... I'm from Warship Island." Apis told them .
"Warship Island?" Nami questioned.
"Do you know the island Nami?" Sanji inquired.
"No I'll check it out." Nami told him.
"Why is it called Warship Island?" Luffy asked.
"It's because the shape of the island looks exactly like a Warship." Apis said.
"Oh, that's interesting." Luffy said.
"Ahh!" Nami exclaimed. "This is the one!" She pointed to a small island on the map in front of her. "It's an island close to the Redline
"What's the Redline?" Yukiko asked tracing her hand over the words on the map.
"Its that the formation of rock that separates the Grand Line from the other seas. It got its name because apparently the rock it's self is red." Usopp told her repeating what he'd heard before from Nami.
"I see."
"It's cool right?" Luffy said a huge smile on his face, "Beyond those rocks lies the sea that the pirate king once sailed. I can't wait to see it!" He was practically bouncing in his seat.
"So where not that far from the Grand Line." Zoro said looking at the island Nami was pointing at.
"That's right. We're around here right now, so it's not that far." Nami explained pointing to a part of the map that was even close to the redline than the island.
"What do you wanna do?" Nami asked Apis.
"What?" Apis look up confused.
"Do you want to go back to Warship island?" Nami clarified, "if we keep sailing like this we are going to enter the Grand Line."
"You were nice enough to save me and I feel bad burdening you further... but I want to go back to the island! I'm sorry. I'm selfish, aren't I?" Apis apologized . "If you hand me to a ship heading west on your way if possible, I'll work things out on my own."
"There's no way a pirate ship can get close to another ship so easily." Scoffed Nami.
Apis sighed. "Yeah, your right."
"Doesn't matter either way to me. What should write do captain?" Nami said everyone looked at Luffy.
"Yeah that's fine with me." He smiled.
Usopp from his right said. "The Grand Line isn't that far away, either, so..." He trailed off.
"I see so the island looks like a war ship, huh?" Luffy asked no one in particular .
"Looks to me like everyone's made up their minds." Sanji told Apis.
"We'll make sure you get home safely." Yukiko said with Pachi nodding.
"Yeah." Luffy also said.
Apis jumped to her feet and threw her hands in the air. "All right! Thank you Luffy, everyone! All right! All right! I'm so happy!"

And I plan to have Yukiko face Erik in the final showdown.
And to those asking, Yes, Luffy and Yukiko will be a couple but it'll be a slow burn.

But she won't have a bounty until after Alabasta.
