Somewhere in the East Blue
Luffy POV
"So, what is our first destination?" Hancock ask
"Well, we could go to where Hachi is but I feel like we will...." Luffy started until he notice something coming to them
"What is that?" Robin ask "it looks like an octopus"
"Octopus?" Luffy repeated and knew immediately who it was. He saw his crewmate jumped to the Sunny
"Luffy-san!" He said happily "how nice to see you!". Luffy notice that Hachi was worried and tired
"Is something wrong, Hachi?" Luffy ask with seriousness
"Arlong knows your here" said Hachi "and he isn't happy"
"What did you told him to come here?" Luffy asked him
"Actually, he told me to look for Nami" said Hachi "that he needs her to make maps". Luffy clenched his fists hearing that "I know it makes you angry but I help when I can"
"I know" said Luffy. Just then, he felt someone sneaking in his ship. He smiled, knowing who it was "I found her. Hey, Sonia, would you mind grabbing our uninvited guest?"
"Sure thing" she said as she went to where Nami was hiding
"Ekkk!!!!" Luffy heard Nami screamed. When he look at her, she was beaten up. Looks like she had a hell of a day. Considering she was only twelve, she was one brave kid to steal money from pirates, specially one with the highest bounty on East Blue right now
"You should know better than sneaking on my ship, kiddo" Luffy said. A tick mark appeared on her forehead. Luffy smirked as apparently she didn't like been called a kid like that but she then look at Hachi
"Hachi?" She said instead "what are you doing here?". Luffy and Hachi look at each other and sighted. Well, they have been caught together and it was better to explain before Arlong finds out
"Hachi is working for me" Luffy answered "he is my crewmate. The name is Monkey D Luffy"
"You are Monkey D Luffy!" She said a bit scared "the pirate wanted for eighty five million Berris!"
"That's right" said Luffy smiling proudly
"So, you are the one Hachi works for" said Nami gulping "he said his real captain was not joke but I never thought it was you. I guess that's how you knew my name". Luffy nodded at her. That was true, Hachi told him about Nami and how he barely managed to save her mother from been murdered by Arlong
"Calm down" said Luffy "I won't hurt you but I can help you, if you want. Arlong needs to be put down"
"You can't defeat him!" Nami said "he is too strong!". She started crying as fall down
"Nami, I used to wipe Arlong's ass with the floor every day when I was with the Sun Pirates" Luffy said "he didn't like me and I didn't like him. The only reason we didn't kill each other was because of Tiger Fisher, our Captain. I won't force you to accept my help but know this, whatever Arlong promise you, he will not fulfill it. He hates humans and for him, you are nothing more than a tool"
"Nee, Nami, Luffy is right" Hachi said "Arlong said he was going to rat you out with Capitan Nezumi as soon as you told him you have the money"
"I know" said Nami "I always knew he lied to me and was never going to free me"
"I can give you the money you need" Luffy said "just to let him think you have it"
"He will suspect" Nami said "I know he will". Luffy then saw Hancock approach her and help her stood up
"Nami, right?" Hancock ask nicely
"Yeah" she said cleaning her tears
"I want to talk to you" said Hancock "about something in private"
"Okay" she said. Luffy saw as Hancock took Nami elsewhere to talk privately
"She will tell her about her past" Luffy said
"It's that wise?" Sonia ask "talking about it with just anyone can be dangerous"
"She has her own mark" Hachi said then with sadness "Arlong's mark"
Hancock POV
"This is my room" said Hancock as she started to undress. Showing her that horrible mark can have consequences but she needs to know that she isn't the only one with a mark.
"It looks great" Nami said "What are you doing!"
"I want to show you something" said Hancock, as she turn around and show her that horrendous mark
"That's....." Nami started
"The hook of the Celestian Dragons" Hancock said "I was a slave until three years ago. The one who save me is Luffy and he did it for reasons I don't know until this day but I fell in love with him anyway. He is an amazing person"
"I know" said Nami "his offer to help me without even knowing me, makes me realize he is not the typical pirate"
"He is not" said Hancock "he attack the Holy Land for a total stranger. He killed a World Noble for strangers, he killed that Vice-admiral for his Captain that was ambushed and he cut off the arm of an admiral because he was provoke. He freed slaves and burn slave houses because that is what he fells right"
"But I don't know what to do" Nami start crying again "I just can't watch him been killed. He is what?. Two years older than me?"
"And he is very powerful" Hancock said. A knock make them turn to the door "yes?"
"It's me" said Robin
"Come in" said Hancock
"Hello there" Robin said "I wanted to con here to tell you my story"
"Are you like Hancock?" Nami ask curious
"No quite" said Robin "my story is much more different". Hancock already knew about it but hearing it again was painful "and then, when I was about to me capture, Luffy appeared like a hero and rescue me from the marines. Until this day, just like Hancock, I don't know why. He said it was because it was the right thing to do but I feel like he did it for another reason"
"You love him too, don't you?" Nami ask curious. Both Hancock and Robin blushed a crimson red at those words
"We do" they answered "and we already ask permission from his honorable mother to marry him. He kind of passed out for a few minutes because of it"
"I want his help" Nami said then "I don't even know him but I.... don't know why but I feel like I can trust him. But first, I want to go adventuring with him
"Then go ask him if you can come with us for the time being" Hancock said. Nami nodded and the girls went outside. Luffy was there, trying to see what can they do on the meantime or where they should go
"Luffy, can I go adventuring with you?" Nami ask
"Sure" said Luffy smiling and Hancock saw the twelve year old blushing at that
"So, do you know how to navigate?" Nami ask
"We do but we aren't experts" Luffy ask "I am looking for the best navigator in the East Blue. Do you know anyone?"
"You are looking at her" said Nami "I am the best one!. My dream is to draw the map of the world!"
"My dream is to become an emperor and king of the pirates" Luffy said smiling
"Mine is to find the true history of the World" Robin said
"Mine is to help Luffy reach Raftel!" Said Hancock
"Ours is to become the strongest warriors" said Sandersonia and Marigold at the same time
"So, where are we going, captain?" Nami ask, making Luffy eyes widened "well, I did ask if I can go adventuring with you and so, you are my Captain for now"
"I guess I am" said Luffy "we are going to the Gecko islands, to a village called Syrup. There we are going to recruit the son of someone I know"
"Who?" Nami ask curious
"Usopp, the son of Yassop. Sniper of the red pirates" Luffy answered "who's captain is Yonko Red Hair Shanks or as like a call him, tomato head". Hancock, her sisters, Robin, Franky and Nami burst out laughing at that nickname
Meanwhile somewhere in the New World
Shanks POV
"Achuuuuu!!!!!" Sneezed Shanks
"You okay, captain?" Yassop ask him
"I am good" Shanks answered "but I have the urge to kill Luffy for some reason"
"Why would you want to kill Luffy?" Ben ask him but he was laughing
"I feel like he just call me Tomato head" Shanks answered. Much to his annoyance and embarrassment, his entire crew burst out laughing
Next on the pirate king is back and it's here to conquer: Luffy goes to visit Ussop and at the same time hunt down a certain kitty cat
