"Honestly, this boy is controversial! Still, he's Garp's grandson, so I wouldn't expect much."
"I'm still curious of how He encountered Rayleigh. It's not like the Dark King to take up the mantle again."
"Now, Jinbei had turned against us, along with Blackbeard's sudden death. Jinbei acting as a warlord was a symbol of intertribal peace. It's a pity to loose him. And with Blackbeard dead, and Moria gone, there's disturbance among the Three Great Powers. From what we can understand, Blackbeard was definitely aiming for Whitebeard's power."
"Not that we want to admit it, but if he got what he wanted, the Three Great Powers would've been completely unbalanced. If he succeed and got away, the New World would've fallen into chaos, not to mention Whitebeard's territories. Still, are we going to take care of the vacancies among the warlords? Are we gonna get rid of them too?"
"No. At least not now. After what happened in the war, we should wait for now. Once the dust has settled, we should be careful and picking the most powerful ones."
"Beast Master made a lot of moves in the war. Strategic, logical, cunning, and unexpected. That's how she works. There's no telling what else she could do."
"From saving Strawhat's brother, she's not only earned respect from Whitebeard, she's possibly acknowledged by him. As a result, Strawhats may have a lead over other pirates to be a new member of the Yonko."
"True, plus no one in history has heard of a creatures that could counter devil fruit powers."
"It's always the D's who stir up in the most trouble. First Roger, Dragon, then Portgas. Now with Monkey D. Luffy, it's being far more exposed to the public than it should be."
As for the incident.......
Luffy, Yukiko and Pachi gained higher bounties.
For Luffy: 550,000,000 berries
For Yukiko: 550,000,000 berries
For Pachi: 450,000,000 berries
--------
Over two years had passed since the Marineford 'Massacre'.
The heat about the Strawhats seemed to be dwindling.
...Except for the fact that there was talk about people claiming to be the crew....
But...
They looked nothing like the Strawhats!
-------------
After a little time away, Luffy sighed as he got his hat back although he did do some crunch time enduring the environments in Yukiko's world, in no less than two months.
He was excited to meet up with his crew, especially Yukiko.
He wondered how she was doing.
"LUFFY!"
'Ah, not again....' Luffy thought as Boa ran up to him.
During the last two years he had been training, Boa had been bringing up the subject of marriage with her.
Honestly, he was happy she kept him away from the Marines, but he was not interested.
If there is anyone he did want to marry, it's Yukiko.
He did say she would be his queen of the pirates one day!
-----------
Yukiko smiled as she rode on Blaise back to Sabaody.
Her hair was somehow whiter than before. Her bangs were now curled into ringlets and reached beneath her backside in a puffy pony tail and her skin took on a glowing complexion.
She also gained some muscle from her training and sported a Jewel pendent in the shape of a lotus from her time on Jewelria.
But she still kept her fit figure and had grown a little......in certain places. Not as much as Nami or Robin, but still.
She also sported a blue headband that had a red hibiscus flower, a bejeweled white tank with blue accents, and dark blue leggings with white platform shoes.
As she flew, she spotted the Sunny, still there and in one piece!
And the others were there too!
"HEY EVERYONE! IM BACK!" Yukiko shouted.
Sanji’s eyes turn to hearts… His nose starts to bleed?! And then, of course, he falls on his face.
Everyone turns their attention to Yukiko as they all looked happy to see her.
Luffy especially!
He has grown slightly taller and is shown to be significantly more muscular due to his training. This can be seen in his slightly thicker neck, more pronounced deltoids, and a better-defined chest, which shows the X-shaped scar he received by ex-Admiral Akainu covering most of it. His usual attire is mostly the same as it was two years ago, but instead of a vest, Luffy wears an open, long-sleeved red cardigan with four buttons, with a yellow sash tied around his waist.
But his attitude didn't change a bit.
"YUKIKO!" He yelled in happiness as he hugged his girl as soon as she got to the deck.
Pachi leapt on his head happy to see him too.
Then one of Yukiko's pokeball opened up to reveal an Umbreon as he licked Luffy's face!
"Whoa! Which Pokémon is he?" Usopp asks.
"Don't you recognize him?" Yukiko smiled.
Then Luffy looked at the Umbreon as it smiled.
"Varian?! Is that you?!" Luffy said in excitement.
"Wait, that's Varian!?" Zoro asked.
"Yeah, he evolved into Umbreon!" Yukiko said.
Cue Sparks.
"Umbreon the Moonlight Pokémon. When exposed to the moon’s aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it gains a mysterious power. When this Pokémon becomes angry, its pores secrete a poisonous sweat, which it sprays at its opponent’s eyes. With its black fur, it blends into the darkness. It bides its time, and when prey appears, this Pokémon goes for its throat, and then eats it."
"So he became a predator of the night." Robin smiled.
"Oi, you are the 10th.” Zoro said.
"Quit it already!" Usopp yelled.
"I really missed you guys. Especially you Luffy." Yukiko said.
"Yeah, I missed you too. I've almost went crazy without you in the last two years. Although not as much as Hancock asking me to marry her. And I keep telling her that I already have you!" Luffy grinned as he kissed her cheek.
Yukiko smiled.
It was nice to be back!
