A/N: So I wanted to add a quick word I forgot in chapter 1, there will be OCs in this story, both as side characters, enemies and Strawhats. This is a long chapter so enjoy! A Warning though, there are adult and vulgar scenes.

Chapter 5: Changes, Feelings and Slaves

Marine Headquarters,

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was not having a good day. He was just informed that the situation in the East Blue had gone wrong in ways nobody could even imagine. Vice Admiral Onigumo had the right idea in intercepting the pirates at their destination but everything else went to shit because of their lack of information and underestimating the pirates.

This pirate crew, the Straw Hat pirates, is something else, the veteran reckoned. The Loguetown base Captain reported back to headquarters and had multiple bad news and Sengoku didn't know what to fret about first.

The first of many facts is that the captain of said crew is called Monkey D. Luffy. Monkey D. Luffy, as in Monkey D. Garp's grandson, and apparently he did take after his grandfather in strength, too much in fact. The Captain said that 200 Marines just got knocked out at the same time, which was foreboding enough.

The next thing was the condition of the Marines there. The Vice Admiral, in critical condition, has three slashes on his upper body, one slash on three of his arms and a mild concussion. Add to that the accompanying Captain who has multiple broken bones on his upper body and the Captain that actually reported back having been sent flying into buildings by a strong shockwave, things weren't too bright.

Furthermore, an orange haired woman, previously spotted with Straw Hat, entered the battleship, stole the devil fruit they had bought along with the encyclopedia and destroyed the ship's main mast.

The Buddha felt a headache coming just processing the information. This was outrageous and humiliating. A crew of only five, from the East Blue no less, taking out a Vice Admiral, looting and destroying his battleship and they don't even know their exact strength.

He could always rely on him to bring the fruit back and maybe even deal with the pirates but that won't bring back the Navy's dignity. He called for a meeting for the Admirals and Tsuru after giving strict orders to all units not to engage with these pirates.

Since the disappearance of his adoptive son almost three years, he has been feeling… off. Like something is about to happen and he won't like it. Ironically enough, Rosinante was World Noble, but he felt like a storm was brewing.

Little did he know, these pirates were going to cause chaos he never saw in his entire career in just a year.

Monkey D.Luffy, he reminded himself.

…

The crew arrived at the first island the next day at dawn. A winter island named Tundra. Lucky for them, Tundra had a prosperous kingdom called the Sovnia Kingdom. The island had many luxuries and was involved in lots of trade in these waters. They had powerful enough military and two devil fruit users to protect them from rookie pirate crews that just entered the Grand Line.

They were lucky because the kingdom's banks and gold exchanges were rich enough for the Strawhats to exchange some of their loot to cash. While Zoro watched the ship, Luffy and Usopp enjoyed the restaurants and taverns in the city and Prince and Brook restocked the supplies that were lost feeding their black hole of a captain. Nami just went on a shopping spree taking the 'I will because I can' approach.

When Nami returned that evening, she had lots of shopping bags with her. As she climbed the gangplank onto the ship she shouted, "Everyone come out here, interesting news."

Zoro opened his eye from his sleeping place as everyone came out from below deck, "What is it Nami?" Luffy asked.

"I bought a newspaper in town, Luffy. It has an article on us and a surprise," Nami said handing the paper to Prince who started reading out loud.

A NEW CONTENDER FOR THE THRONE APPEARS?

Yesterday afternoon, in Loguetown, the pirate crew responsible for the destruction of the Goa Kingdom's palace and the death of its king, the Straw Hat pirates have made themselves known. Their captain, Monkey D. Luffy, declared from atop the execution stand that he will become the Pirate King.

After that, only three of the crew and their captain proceeded to defeat a Marine ambush comprised of over 200 soldiers, two Captains and a Vice Admiral, all in less than 10 minutes while being completely unscathed. After which, his only comment was 'WE'RE COMING!'.

The Straw Hat pirates are a real threat, not only for the East Blue, but for the Grand Line as well.

"There's a picture of us four with Luffy on top of the platform," Prince added, showing them.

"And a bounty poster," Nami pulled it out. It had Luffy holding his spear on top of the platform looking into the distance a grin in place.

"Well, 200 million is a surprise," Usopp said as Luffy cheered.

"No, that's not it," Nami pulled out another bounty poster, it was of a man wearing a white fur hat with black spots holding a large nodachi leaning against his shoulder with a dark smirk on his face. The poster read 'The Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Law.

All the crew smiled without exception at seeing their ally once again. "Tra-guy looks cool!" Luffy remarked with a wide grin.

"Yeah, he does," Nami said softly as the rest nodded.

Everyone without exception in the crew, present and absent, had felt shame at the fact that their allies died right beside them while they could do nothing but watch in despair. They felt guilty of betrayal even though it was out of their hands. Reminding themselves that they were not at fault and it was beyond them didn't make it better, they just felt weaker and more infuriated.

All that was without adding Law to the equation. They felt both bad for letting down the surgeon and sympathetic for his feelings which, no doubt, were no different than their own if not exponentially more. They were all relieved that he looked more like himself and not the haunted man they saw before separating.

Granted, Law was as strong as they come, mentally and physically, but they all knew that his childhood was anything but rosy and experiencing it again was not good. Good thing they got back while he was processing the events, knowing him, he'll have already devised and implemented a plan and protective measures to prevent it from happening again.

"Where is he now?" Zoro asked.

"Probably North Blue, someone like him won't have a 30 million belly bounty in the Grand Line," Usopp contemplated.

"I asked the clerk, he said it's a week old. Think he's entering soon?" Nami speculated.

"Absolutely!" Luffy said in happily, hyped at the prospect of seeing his ally again.

The log set the next day and they were off once again.

…

Three days into this leg of their journey, they encounter a Marine ship and as the ship comes closer, "This is Captain Nobody of Marine HQ, this is my only mission in the story, I will bring yo-," suddenly, a presence appears, no blooms, on the ship and everyone's bodies twist, break and fall on the ground.

Normally, people would freak out, scream, cry or just jump in the ocean, but the Straw Hat pirates all cheered. Usopp, who was in the crow's nest, shouted down to them, "1 o'clock, they're just 500 meters ahead."

Prince was already moving the wheel towards them. When they were close enough, Robin and Chopper jumped from their small one cabin ship onto the galleon with a superhuman leap. Chopper, previously in Walking Point, transformed and landed smoothly in his Brain Point.

Luffy was on them in a second, wrapping an arm around Robin's waist and lifting her into a hug while simultaneously grabbing Chopper off the floor and putting him on his head. "Robin! Chopper! I missed you guys!" he said twirling them around in his embrace while laughing.

"Luffyyyyy!" Chopper shouted excitedly in a childish voice. Luffy stopped and put them down and they both got a good look at him. "I missed you! We got your message too!" the reindeer danced

"My, Luffy, you sure have grown into a handsome man. I missed you too," Robin said, a kind smile on her face.

"Shishishishi."

"ROBIIII-" Prince was about to hug Robin too, with a little red trickling from his nose, but someone pushed him out of the way and beat him to it.

"Robin! I missed you so much, big sis. Dealing with these oafs is so hard without you," Nami cried comical tears.

"There, there."

"Chopper! How have you been? You've grown taller haven't you?" Usopp greeted him.

They all took a good look at them now. Chopper looked mainly the same, at least in this form. He has the same hat on, blue shorts and same blue backpack, except he grew taller like Usopp said, growing to 120 cm, a 30 cm improvement.

Robin looked the same as they remembered her, not even a day older, more beautiful even. She was still 188 cm tall and wore a purple long-sleeved V-neck dress displaying a generous cleavage and her long legs that wore black high heel boots. Her sunglasses were on top of her head as usual and she had a pink backpack.

Although, again, Prince saw things differently. It was just B101-W60-H91. And Robin being in Nami's embrace was not helping. Prince's nose erupted in a fountain of red and he took to the air like a rocket.

Chopper sprang into action immediately, transforming into his Human Point, which was the same but taller and had more defined muscles. He jumped and caught Prince and started stopping the blood while getting blood packets from his backpack, having already anticipated his friend's literal outburst.

"Wow, he's much more focused now, right? Before he'd be running around asking for a doctor to come quickly," Usopp said, amazed.

"While our stay at the Revolutionary Army was hospitable, it was far from luxurious. Dragon trained us vigorously in exchange for our services. I was sent on lots of espionage missions and Chopper was assigned to train the medical teams in the army if he wasn't on a mission somewhere. Due to the importance of his role and his somewhat lag in entering his 'Doctor Mode', Dragon had a few words with him. He's… inspiring to say the least, and from then on his shifts into said mode are faster," Robin explained.

"Ahh, looks like father and gramps are really related, working my crew to the bone like that," he shivered at the mention of Garp.

"It is really great to have you back, Miss Robin. Also, would you be so kind as to show me your panties?"

"I refuse," Robin said with blankest face she could muster.

Brook fell face flat on the ground, "Ahh, such a," he turned around, face directly under Robin's skirt, "SHAME!" whatever he planned to see was blocked by two hands covering his eye sockets as a leg materialized next to him and kicked him in what would have once been the groin.

All conscious men winced, even knowing Brook was a skeleton didn't help much. After all greetings were said and Prince was rehabilitated using photos Chopper had compiled previously, they all sat down and explained Luffy's devil fruit situation and their heading.

"Oh yeah, that happened to me too," Chopper said when Luffy finished. Everyone was lost for a second until he elaborated, "Losing your fruit. When I returned I was with the pack again in my Walk Point and the fruit was beside me. Another reindeer almost ate it but I scared him off and ate it myself. Like Luffy, because of this I am also taller, before, only my Walk Point form grew while the others were relatively the same. Now, since I ate the fruit when I'm older, my other forms are bigger also!"

"That is really good, but why does it happen? I mean both of you losing the fruit only to have it pop up next to you," Nami asked.

"I have a theory," Robin said and they all listened closely, acknowledging that it was the best answer they were getting, "Hiyori told us that she couldn't send us back to a time we didn't exist in, but we retain any objects we have with us no matter their original place in the timeline or if they even exist.

"I speculate that what happened is really a technicality more than anything. 'Rubber man' Luffy and 'Human reindeer' Chopper did not exist two years ago, even if Luffy and Chopper themselves did. And since the fruit is something we ingest and stays in our body, therefore, it is on our person, this makes Luffy and Chopper able to travel in time and have their fruits next to them when they arrive," Robin explained her hypothesis.

While most understood and nodded their heads, Luffy and Zoro got lost somewhere and said in unison, "Suuuureeee." They were just ignored.

"That was really smart Robin! You have become even more dazzling in the last two years," Prince said dreamily.

"Prince, how long is the food gonna last us?" Luffy interrupted his thoughts.

"Well, without any night raids, about three months," Prince replied.

"I guess I can go fishing in the ocean sometime," Luffy said, not going to be denied his midnight meat.

Everyone sweat dropped at that, "Anyway, Robin did you get what I asked for in the letter?" Luffy asked.

"Yes, Luffy, I did. Gotta admit, I was surprised you actually thought ahead, but it was a pleasant surprise," Robin pulled out two Eternal Poses from her backpack, one said 'Water 7' and the other said 'Alabasta'. "I brought an extra, too," she pulled out another Pose with 'Drum Island' on it.

"Oh, I forgot to include that one. Thanks, I knew I could count on you Robin. Okay guys, here is the plan I thought of in the last two years." Chopper sprang into action, checking Luffy's temperature, his breathing, monitoring his pulse and looking all over him for any sign of injury.

"Guys, something's wrong with Luffy, but I don't know what, his pulse and breathing are normal, no temperature rise, I can't fix Luffy," Chopper cried, distressed.

They all looked at him blankly, and one by one they all descended into howling laughter, leaving behind only a pouting Luffy.

"Chopper, remember, Luffy trained in thinking, Hahahaha," Nami said between laughs.

"Yohohoho, truly an improvement you should be proud of Luffy, if Chopper thinks this might be an illness," Brook said.

"Fufufufu, indeed. Thank you for trying for us, Luffy," Robin thanked, she received a wide smile, accepting of her praise.

"Anyway, Luffy, plan?" Zoro led him back on track.

"Right. So, my goal in Paradise is to get the Rumble Rumble fruit and then after that a flying ship like earlobes. So earlobes said he made the ship fly, so if he and Franky can build the ship together then then we have a SUPER flying Sunny. At first, I thought we could meet him and if he is a jerk like last time then I take his fruit before him or kill him if he already ate it. If he isn't, we can bring him down with us and they could make it together, but then a lot of things can go wrong, so I thought why not get Franky first, and make him build the ship up in the sky! That way even if earlobes said no, we can find other people to do it for us. That's why we took this big ship too, so Franky can put the things for the ship in it!" Luffy recited his plan leaving several jaws on the floor. Then he continued, "And after that I thought about how we went to Skypiea to begin with, after we beat Crocodile. So we get Franky, beat Crocodile, go to the sky, find the fruit, build our new ship and get down!" he finished excitedly.

Everyone just stared at him. Astonishment would not sum up their feelings. Luffy had a plan. Luffy had a plan. Luffy had a good plan. He was waiting expectantly for any reaction but he was just receiving silence.

Prince coughed, "That is, uh, actually a really good plan Luffy." Luffy beamed with pride when they all nodded.

"Definitely better than the one he had in Goa," Usopp laughed.

"Luffy, I think there's one problem," they all looked at Robin, "Crocodile might be a jerk but he did prevent countless pirate attacks on Alabasta while portraying himself as a hero."

"Well, we still have a lot of time before we meet him, think of a plan and we'll do it when we're there," Luffy smiled at her. Robin reciprocated it, happy for his trust in her.

"What about Laboon?" Brook asked.

"He can stay at Water 7, we'll pick him up when we're done," Luffy answered. He then turned to Chopper, "When do you want us to deal with Wapol?"

"I'm not sure, he's just a prince right now, so maybe a few more years and we can dethrone him," Chopper told him.

Luffy nodded, "Next, we are not going after One Piece immediately, we will wait for Momo and the others, that means we won't get the Road Poneglyph in Wano until 10 years. Until then, we need to find Zou, tell Inu and Neko about what happened Kinn Kanjuro and Hiyori, get their Poneglyph and get Big Mom's while looking for the last one. I want to find an island to make our base somewhere in the New World, and I want us to be the only people who can get to it. Is that okay with everyone? Of course you guys can still accomplish your dreams before that."

"I think this is for the best, we were too rushed last time," Robin spoke and they all nodded.

"An island only for us is neat, somewhere to lay back and have a drink in peace," Zoro said.

"Keep all our treasure!" Nami said with belly eyes.

"That is true, but finding an island like that will be a challenge, Yohoho," Brook chirped.

"And the last Road Poneglyph will be a challenge too, nobody knew its place even 10 years from now," Usopp added, ever the pessimist.

"We have those same 10 years to look," Prince stated.

"I can find lots of herbs on different islands!" Chopper chimed in.

Luffy smiled at his crew. They were indulging in his whims, again. He was truly happy he found them. "We'll have a reunion party when we reach Franky, Nami how long will that take?"

"Two months, probably. I also wanted Robin to take a look at something with all of us here," Nami answered as she pulled out the documents she procured from the battleship back in Loguetown, "In Loguetown, I infiltrated a battleship, took 100 million belly, a devil fruit and these papers," she handed them to Robin.

Robin took them and examined them. When she finished she said, "They're about an auction hosted for devil fruit purchase. The auctions happen in the middle of the sea, the buyers are mainly pirates, Marines and World Government or people with connections to the underworld, sometimes even nobles. They happen on a ship and its captain is called Dan Nutt, he doubles as a devil fruit hunter and a bounty hunter. Some even call him the 'Eighth Warlord'."

"How does that work?" Prince asked.

"He usually goes after devil fruits and users, if the user has a bounty, then he kills him takes the fruit and cashes in the head. He may get requests from the World Government sometimes to go after a certain pirate, hence the Warlord epithet, he also gets pardoned for any law breaking acts for the sake of his merchandise."

"Is he strong? What about a crew?" Zoro interrupted.

"Obviously he is powerful and has the Water Water Logia devil fruit, not much is known about his crew only that they total to four members including him. He appeared two years ago and gathered his three crewmembers sometime after that. He now monopolizes the devil fruit market, if he gets a tip of anyone selling a fruit, he goes and kills them even if the fruit is already sold. If anyone else is selling they sell to him."

"How come we never heard of this guy before?" Nami said.

"My assumption to his lack of existence in our timeline is that it had something to do with Doflamingo, who is in Impel Down at the moment, probably before Dan got his fruit, they are both from the North Blue apparently. This is one of some changes to our timeline."

"You mean there are others?" Usopp asked.

"Just last month Vice Admiral Garp got promoted to the Admiral position, alongside Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Akainu," Chopper responded this time.

They looked at Luffy as he smiled and remembered what his grandfather said to him, 'Now I can keep an eye on that rabid dog we have, BWAHAHAHA.'

"That's weird, never took him for the responsible type," Prince said.

"That's because he's not," Nami stated bluntly, "Just like our idiot captain," Luffy pouted, "Anyway, I don't think this would have been a problem if not for the fact that we have two devil fruits on board and will be getting a Logia hopefully in the near future."

"Exactly, I can imagine the Fleet Admiral informing this hunter of the item we stole by now," Brook stated.

"They are definitely a threat, but if we don't encounter them on the ocean, I doubt they will be that much of a fight with our current strength, but if we do encounter them on open seas, it can go both ways," Robin cautioned.

"We'll kick their asses when they come, for now, we're heading to Water 7!" Luffy commanded.

"YEAH!" they cheered. They all manned their stations and started listening to Nami's orders. Manning a large galleon with only five people was supposed to be impossible, but the five people present for the past 10 days could pull it off. Now, with eight people and one being Robin, things were simpler for them. They made way to Water 7 and everyone started doing their own thing.

By nighttime, everyone started going to sleep bar Zoro who took first watch. He was in the crow's nest when Luffy climbed up to him with his spear. "What's up Luffy?" he asked from where he sat, taking a swig of sake.

Luffy sat next to him and put the spear in front of Zoro on the ground, "When Shanks gave me Hurricane, he told me its quality is not much and it probably won't last in the New World. What do you think?"

Zoro examined it with a scrutinizing gaze, "Well, you are caring for it correctly, it's just that the maker of this blade wasn't a professional and the metal isn't of a high quality. If you remember my fight with Mihawk at the Baratie, he broke two of my swords but Wado Ichimonji survived, the reason being its strength and high quality, here the case is the same."

Luffy nodded his head, "So, where can I find another one like this? Or should we find someone to make a copy of it?"

"Well for the wood, the staff, Franky's your guy, but I don't know about the blade. All my swords were handed to me and I don't really know a shop in the Grand Line, but we definitely can find a blacksmith in Wano, these guys can forge blades even out of seastone," Zoro answered. They sat in silence for a second then looked at each other and blinked, a smile stretched on both their lips.

"That will be the most awesome weapon! We can even make one for you when you return the one you took from Hiyori," Luffy said with stars in his eyes and Zoro nodded.

"Night, Zoro, thanks!" Luffy said as he jumped and took his spear and descended to go sleep.

Zoro kept drinking, watching the cloudless sky, stars and the full moon for two hours or so before he heard someone climbing up again. He was surprised because if he expected anyone to come up, it wasn't her.

Robin finished climbing and closed the latch behind her. He could see her clearly because of the moonlight, she was wearing quite the revealing white night gown under a jacket. Her whole legs were on display and her cleavage clear in the light, he noted absentmindedly that she didn't use the jacket quite correctly if she was showing off this much.

When he reached her face and saw her small smile he realized he was staring and blushed a bit. He turned his head quickly and took another swig.

"Can I join you, Mr. Swordsman?" she asked calmly. He grunted an affirmative and she moved towards him. She sat on his left, leaning towards him a little as she bent her knees on the other side, her right arm supporting her.

"Can't sleep? You still have some time before second watch," he said after a minute of silence.

"Yeah, I can't seem to doze off. Looks like I'll be up all night," she answered, "On the plus side, it is a lovely night." He nodded and kept drinking. They stayed like this for another 15 minutes until his drink was finished. He threw the bottle beside him and opened another one.

He took a large swig from it and then put it down, "I, um, I, uhh, missed you the last couple years you know," he started, angling his head towards her, "I mean, I missed everyone else too, but I missed you the most."

"Thank you, Mr. Swordsman, I missed you too," she smiled sweetly at him, before, "But sorry, I'm Luffy's stepmother now."

He choked on air, and started coughing, all the while Robin laughed at him. When he was done he looked at her with a wide eye and sputtered, she put a finger on his mouth gently and said, "Easy now, I was joking." She smiled when he levelled a glare at her. She noted that he became better at it.

"You and your jokes, woman," he huffed looking away again.

"I missed you too, Zoro, really," she said softly. He looked at her and saw no mirth in her eyes.

He inched a little closer towards her and spoke again, "I never told you this, but I actually liked you since you first came to us, I just acted on my better judgment and didn't trust you just in case. Since you joined, things were just going too fast, it was hard to make time," his voice kept lowering as he leaned closer to her, "But now, Luffy said we're taking our time, so I thought maybe-"

When their faces were close enough, Robin raised her hands and pulled him in for a kiss. He was a little surprised she actually initiated but then he closed his eye and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer.

To him, she tasted like honey and coffee, smelled like flowers and her lips were soft and amazing. To her, she enjoyed being wrapped around his strong body, his scent a mix of alcohol, sweat and salt that should have made her scrunch her nose in disgust but turned her on instead.

Their kiss deepened and became more passionate and he asked for access with his tongue which she granted. He completely took the lead as he let go of common sense and let his instincts control him. He raised his right hand to her neck and squeezed her ass with his left as she let out a moan.

They pulled away for breath, panting, and looked each other in the eye. His one eye held resolve, happiness and lust. Her eyes were hesitant though and he frowned at that.

"A-are you sure?" she asked, he didn't understand the question, just that the Nico Robin stuttered. Robin didn't stutter. "Are you sure you want to do this with me? I'm not exactly young, I'm sure you ca-"

He shut her mouth with his, pulling her even closer. He used his left hand to pull her up and set her his lap so she could straddle him and broke off for breath once more. He looked her dead in the eye, "Absolutely sure," he said before meeting her halfway.

He took off her jacket, throwing it aside and released her mouth in favor of peppering kisses across her jaw and neck while his right hand groped her left boob and noticed the lack of fabric underneath the gown. She let out soft moans as he kissed and felt her body, both hands the back of his head. His left hand pulled up the hem of her gown and pulled it up, undressing her.

When it was off, Zoro felt his restraint thin into a fine thread, just managing to hold onto what was left of common sense and keep his most primal desires that told him to fuck this woman's brains out in check.

She was wearing black lace panties and no bra to speak of. Her body was so enticing with all those curves and her huge breasts and pink nipples, he couldn't believe how turned on he was. When he looked at Robin again, he could see a hint of fear in her eyes, which confused him at first. Then it clicked, Robin had been on the run for 20 years, it was obvious she hadn't had a good time overall but sexual harassment weren't really out of bounds with whoever went after her.

He gently hugged her and felt her tension slowly go away, "I'm sorry, you're just so beautiful it's hard to hold back."

"It's alright," she spoke softly, hugging him back.

"Rough past experience?" he asked.

"You could say that. You?" She had her right hand tracing his left arm in the area where she was sure he received a scar protecting her from Kaido, a faint smile pulled at her lips at the memory.

"A couple o' one night stands when I was a bounty hunter." He pulled back and gently lowered her head, he placed a kiss on her forehead, "Not to coddle you, but we can take it slow, just to avoid bringing up unwanted memories."

She lifted her head and smiled at him before kissing him again, her mind free of doubts. This time she started stripping him. She started with his sash then his coat and haramaki. Zoro then surprised her by standing up with her still straddling him, opened the latch and started descending from the mast as if he wasn't carrying a human.

Zoro wandered across the ship as they continued to make out, Robin wondered if he was lost again when he opened a door, she looked back and saw they were in the Royal bedroom. She was sure Zoro didn't know his way there because of the many halls you cross to reach it, but she wasn't complaining if Zoro's misdirection actually helped. One look at him told her he wasn't expecting to be here either.

He carried her till the bed then dropped her on it, took off his boots and pants and followed. Robin couldn't believe how big he was when he took off his pants. She wasn't really the expert on dick sizes but she was sure that a dick wasn't meant to be this thick, shouldn't be at least. It was huge and it was rock hard, which gave Robin a weird sense of pride.

She was waiting with open arms, literally, and they embraced again kissing each other vigorously, all the while touching and feeling their lover's body. He grunted when she squeezed cock and started stroking it.

Zoro broke off again, looking at the woman under him, waiting to be his woman. He flicked both her nipples and was satisfied with the moan he got. He brought his mouth to her right nipple and started sucking and teasing it softly, still fondling her other tit. He lowered his right hand under her last piece of clothing and started rubbing the wet pussy he found there. She let go of his cock in favor of pulling him closer as she moaned loudly at his teasing.

She gasped when he put a rough finger in and moaned even louder, "Ahh, yes, Zoro, more, more!" she screamed.

Making such a beautiful, intelligent and educated woman moan like that for him turned Zoro on like nothing ever before. He was pretty sure his fourth sword would explode if it got any harder. He put another finger in and thrust faster as he kept teasing her nipples. He felt her walls squeeze at his fingers as she screamed and squirted.

He pulled out his fingers and looked at her. Seeing the usually prim woman this out of sorts and in pleasure was about to erase any restraint he had left. He knew if he didn't fuck the brains out of her soon he would go crazy and do it roughly anyway, so he held her and flipped around, switching their positions.

Her eyes focused on him and she realized how much he was holding back for her. Her heart fluttered a bit and she leaned downwards to kiss him as she reached for the hard cock poking her ass, and slid it in.

When he raised his hips to go all the way to the end of her pussy, she jerked upwards and screamed. She wasn't sure if she came again or not but she was in bliss. She started moving her hips up and down, increasing her pace quickly and moaning with every collision their bodies made.

He started moving in sync with her, driving his dick deeper inside her and eliciting more screams. She stopped moving and fell down on him, her pussy squeezed him tighter than before, panting for air after she came. Zoro wasn't done though, he grabbed her and turned to be on top once again.

She yelped at the sudden movement and moaned when he started thrusting. Robin had never felt this excited and happy before, she reached out with her hand and lowered Zoro's face and kissed deeply. They started panting as he was close to releasing, "I'm cumming," he said in between gasps for air.

"Me too, inside," she breathed out.

He grunted and exploded deep inside her and she bit into his neck to muffle a scream. When the feeling of orgasm passed, Zoro let go and flopped on his back beside her and sighed contently. He looked at her and saw her looking at him too, he pulled her in for one more kiss and kept his arms around her.

"That was amazing," he said quietly. All he received was a sleepy hum as Robin fell asleep. He followed not long after her.

…

Zoro woke up an hour before sunrise. It was the best night sleep he had in his 23 years of life. He felt so lucky right now he couldn't help but smile. His childhood friend was alive, he had his dream ahead of him and his friends with him.

Wait. Night's sleep? 'Holy shit, I was on watch!' He gently removed Robin from his arms and scrambled to put on his pants and shoes as he reached out with his Haki. He calmed down a little when he felt Luffy on deck. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Robin, she was sleeping peacefully on the bed and decided to head out to Luffy.

When he arrived on deck he saw Luffy doing vertical pushups with a boulder balanced on his feet. "7,936, 7,937, 7,938…." Luffy was muttering. Zoro climbed the crow's nest to put on his coat and swords, he then took Robin's clothes to the room she slept in after 15 minutes of being lost and returned to deck as Luffy said "10,000!" and dropped the boulder.

"Why are you up Luffy?" Zoro asked.

"Your and Robin's emotions were spiking so I woke up, but then you were fine so I stayed for watch. It was really weird though, I never felt that emotion before," Luffy said.

"Of course you haven't," Zoro muttered .

"I was also confused, because you and Robin aren't married, so how can you have sex? Don't tell me you were married all this time and didn't tell us!" Luffy shot him a hurt look.

Zoro paled, "What? No. We aren't married." 'Luffy knows what sex is?! We're screwed.' "Um, Luffy, can you keep it a secret? That me and Robin had sex?"

Luffy smiled and nodded, "Sure! But how are you not married but have sex?" he tilted his head in confusion.

"Look, Luffy, you're right, only married people should do that, but sometimes people do it without being married."

"Oh, ok. Wanna spar?" Luffy smiled and Zoro returned it, unsheathing his one sword as Luffy grabbed his spear from the floor, and they charged at each other.

They kept at it until breakfast and everyone was up. Everything was normal bar Robin being late, which only Zoro noticed. They had a rowdy meal like always but they enjoyed the luxury of eating without rubbery hands getting in their way, something they still weren't that used to when Luffy was stuffing his face.

Just as they were finishing breakfast they all felt a wave of power that was familiar to all of them, it was unfocused and weak but it was undoubtedly Conquerors Haki. They all went into high alert and exited to deck, searching for the source and any danger.

"There," Usopp pointed at the starboard side. They could see a submarine next to a ship and they were both stationary just close enough for them to see their details, and they were the source of the power.

"Oh no," Robin whispered.

"Robin?" Luffy asked, but she just closed her eyes and sprouted some on both vessels.

"That flag, Luffy," Chopper said, now in his hulking human form, pointing at a black flag with a Jolly Roger that had a brand on the forehead of the skull, a brand made of a red circle and three triangles over and one triangle under it and instead of crossbones, there were two shackles. "This is a slaver's ship, and they are under the Slaving pirates."

Robin opened her eyes and nodded to Luffy whose eyes were shadowed by his straw hat. He raised his head, one eye still shadowed, and spoke, "Robin, make sure whoever operates the sub can't go underwater, Zoro, Prince with me, the rest steer the ship and bring it next to that one," he ordered and when they nodded he jumped on the railing, "Laboon!"

As the whale surfaced the three Strawhats jumped on the head of the whale, "Laboon, get us to this ship as fast as you can!" he ordered and the whale complied. Keeping his head up Laboon was in front of the ship in seconds, surprising everyone on board, creating small wave that unbalanced them.

The deck of the ship had about 50 people on it, 20 of them looked like slaves and the other 30 slavers. Of them, the only people conscious were about 10 slavers and two slaves.

The situation made all three Strawhats' blood boil. The two slaves were women, one a fully developed lady with her clothes clearly torn off forcibly, laying on the ground crying and trying to cover herself up.

The other was a young teen with blonde hair, standing in between the woman and what appeared to be the captain of the ship who was pointing a gun at her head. Only Luffy noticed her familiar attire of warrior style clothing resembling bikinis and high boots.

Prince rushed to the woman's side, freaking both females out, his coat already off and covering her body as she looked at him with unbelieving eyes. "It's alright, princess, it's over now. You're safe," he smiled his sweetest, non-pervy smile.

Zoro, on the other hand, released an unbelievable amount of bloodlust and unsheathed Kitetsu, "Captain?" he asked and Luffy nodded. Zoro was onto them before the leader could switch aim, he cut his hand off. The man started screaming and fell on the ground clutching his hands as Zoro took out his subordinates.

Luffy approached the little girl and wrapped his coat around her and smiled his goofy grin as she fainted, he caught her just before she hit the floor, "Sleep tight."

He looked around, some slavers were waking up, but they were being put down by Zoro. Prince had already left the woman and he could sense him below deck and taking out the still conscious slavers just as he could sense Robin doing on the sub.

When they were done they started freeing the slaves and bringing them on deck. Half an hour later all the living slavers were on deck in chains and the slaves were cooped up to the side, wary of the pirates even if they saved their life, and the Strawhats' ship setting anchor next to them.

Chopper was the first to cross and he started checking the slaves right away. Nami and Usopp were bringing out proper clothes for them and Robin was doing her best to comfort any frightened women. Prince already returned to his ship to make a meal for the starving people while Brook brought them water, spooking them out.

The ship contained 36 more slaves and the submarine had none, making it 56 slaves in total, all of whom were bruised and starved. Robin approached Luffy and Zoro, who were standing over the still knocked out aggressors and spoke in a chilling voice, "There are nine men, 21 women, three boys and six girls here. Out of all the women 20 were raped, repeatedly. The only exception being the one that was on deck, the blonde girl saved her, I think she's the one who had Haki. Moreover, they even raped one of the girls and she's a wreck that's even scared to look at men, even fellow slaves."

"I was going to burn them like the king, but you look like you have a better idea," Luffy said gravely.

"I do. It's called castration," she said coldly and Zoro paled as white as paper but the intention went over Luffy's head.

"Do whatever you want after we know what was going on," Luffy said.

Zoro brought a barrel of water and threw it them, "Wake up!" he shouted at them.

They were all roused and once they acknowledged their position, they started shouting.

"Do you know who we are?!"

"You're messing with the wrong people!"

"Boss is going to make you pay!"

Luffy glared at them, adding a bit of Conquerors Haki, "Who is that boss?" they all quieted down, scared a little. Then the handless captain spoke up.

"The 'White Slaver' Hanz Eric, captain of the Slaving pirates and Warlord of the sea. He will torture you and then sell you to the highest bidder," he smiled confidently, or tried at least.

Luffy returned it and then turned to Robin, "I don't know what castration is, but I think it will be horrible, take them down and do it, we don't want to scare our new friends," he said, smile still there, "Oh, if they survive, we'll burn them alive." Robin nodded as the crew understood that they were going to be tortured and most probably die.

Robin took them under deck and started 30 minutes of turning men into women. 30 minutes of blood curdling screams that definitely did not belong to men. But for the men inside, it was watching a Demon Child castrating man after man as you watched until your turn came. Naturally, the captain came last.

Robin walked on deck when she was done, bloody scalpel in her hand, she reached the railing and dropped it at sea. When she turned around, every woman was looking at her in admiration and every man was hiding his junk except for Luffy.

"38 unconscious, captain, two are dead," Robin reported and Luffy nodded.

Prince chose this perfect moment to come out with the food. He gave Luffy a plate of steak, "That's all you get," he said firmly, "If you even touch their food, it's vegetables for a month. They don't have anything you'd like anyway, right now their stomachs are delicate." Luffy nodded quickly under the threat of vegetables.

As Prince laid down the plates of food he made, none of the slaves moved to eat, distrust evident in their eyes. After a few moments of hesitation, the woman that they saved earlier walked up to the table, Prince's coat still around her. Prince poured her a bowl of soup, a smile on his face. She took it and ate a spoonful and gulped, then she dropped the spoon. All the slaves flinched, thinking she was poisoned, but her mouth was in a wide smile and she was tearing up, she grabbed the bowl with both hands and put it to her mouth and started drinking. She finished and stretched the bowl to Prince and made a gesture indicating more.

Prince beamed at her and poured her another bowl which she drank in the same manner, her tears flowing. One by one, the former slaves started approaching Prince and he fed them all. They all had similar reactions and bombarded the chef with praise.

Of course Luffy tried stealing some food but was stopped by almost every crewmember until everyone had their fill. When everyone was done and Luffy finished any remaining food, they gathered with Luffy standing in front of them and the crew behind him.

"Hey! My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm gonna be king of the pirates!" he beamed at them excitedly as they all stared at him blankly, "I am so sorry for what happened to you, but I want to know how you were kidnapped and where do you want to go from here."

A man cleared his throat and stood up, he had average height and was quite up in the years if the white at the edge of his black hair was any indication. "We're either from one of the Blues and ended up here after our village was pillaged and we kidnapped, or a submarine like that one knocked us out with sleeping gas and abducted us from the Grand Line. They said they work for a Warlord so that's why they probably do it in the form of disappearances here, to avoid the Marines stripping him of the title."

Luffy nodded, "Do you know how many submarines they have?" They all shook their heads.

"One of them fainted before I castrated him, Captain, we can ask him when he wakes up," Robin said helpfully as all the males hid their family jewels again.

"Ehhh, it's that scary? That sounds even worse than Gramps' Fist of Love," Luffy shivered.

"Sometimes, I envy his gullibility," Usopp deadpanned as the male crew members nodded.

"Anyway," Nami resumed, "Show of hands for people headed for the Grand Line." 31 of the present 55 raised their hands, "Alright, East Blue," 7 this time, "West?" 6, "North?" 4, "South?" 6. Nami frowned and looked at the woman that had Prince's coat.

She was quite short but had a well-endowed figure, dark green hair resembling Makino from Fusha Vilage, and wide brown eyes. She also hadn't spoken a word since they saw her, even if she did make some noises.

"What about you?" Nami asked her. The only answer she got back were a multitude of gestures and hand signs. Zoro caught them and cocked an eyebrow.

"She's saying she has nowhere to return to," he said surprising them all, "She's using sign language." He approached her and squatted down and signed a question of his own and said when she signed back, "She's deaf but can read lips, fortunately. She said she was alone at her home and doesn't know where to go anyway, wants to stay with us."

"Wow, you know sign language?" Nami asked, surprised and he nodded.

"Can't say I expected that, Zoro," Brook said.

"Yeah, the shitty marimo was surprisingly helpful in his village," Prince admitted begrudgingly, "I thought he'd drink and sleep all day but he actually helped around."

"She can stay with us until she makes up her mind, we still don't know how to deal with the rest anyway," Nami concluded, "And we still don't know anything about the young girl."

"She's a Kuja," Luffy told her.

They all looked at him, "Are you certain Luffy?" Robin questioned and he nodded.

"I think meeting Hancock is possible, if we do then well, if not then Rayleigh can get her home."

"So, how are these people going to return to their homes?" Usopp said, "We can't exactly just go to each of their islands and I think they can't on their own either, so how do we return them without returning them?"

They looked at the former slaves in total sync and shook their heads, "They won't last till the next island," Zoro said, "Luffy?"

"Jinbe. He can take them back," Luffy decided.

"What?!" shouted another ex-slave, a large man with a black beard and a bald head, "You want to take us from one Warlord to another?"

"Jinbe is a man of honor and he is our friend, alas, feel free to take this ship and head home. North Blue was it? Good luck surviving the journey, because it's either that or another Warlord. Of course you ladies will be dropped off at your doorsteps personally by me if need be," Prince said, coldly at first but finished with heart eyes.

"Can't you just give us to the Marines, they'll return us to our homes," a woman spoke up from her seat, others around her nodded their heads in agreement.

"And say what? We found these people on one of your Warlord's ship but please take them home?" Zoro scoffed, "That is if we found a Marine who'll actually listen to us, some will kill you for even associating with us."

"I apologize for the inconvenience but Zoro is correct, unless Luffy can get ahold of Garp, your best chance is Jinbe," Brook tried to assure them.

"Garp? You mean Vice Admiral Garp the hero?" a boy, a teenager about 15 years old asked, a little excited. Garp was probably his role model.

Robin frowned, "How long have you been captive?"

"Most of the people who came with me in the sub a month or less," one woman said helpfully.

"We lost track of time, but definitely more than a month," a man said, talking about the ship's former captives.

"Well, I say your ordeal ended prematurely luckily. Anyway, he's Admiral Garp now, he was promoted last month," Robin supplied, "Can you reach him Luffy?"

"No, one of Gramps' conditions to training me was that on the open sea we're enemies. He said its fine to have a drink once in a while though," he said dismissively while picking his nose. All the freed slaves looked at him with their jaws hanging.

They all looked at the crew and pointed at Luffy, "He's Garp the Fist's grandson?!" they shouted comically. The crew nodded as Luffy laughed at them.

Chopper came out from inside the Strawhats' ship and shouted across, "Luffy! She's awake."

Luffy nodded, "Nami, Robin come with me, bring her too," he pointed at the mute.

Zoro signed her the order and she nodded and signed something back, "Her name's Fay, by the way."

The four of them crossed to the pirate ship and entered the infirmary, the saw the blonde girl on a bed. When they entered, Fay ran towards her and hugged her, crying a little. The girl hugged her back and smiled, "I'm ok, don't worry."

They got a good look at her now, she had long blonde hair and big blue eyes. She looked about 16 because of her tall height though her body wasn't mature yet. Her face was beautiful however with her long eyelashes and high forehead. She had light skin and long legs, her hair was tall enough to reach her waist and her bangs were partly concealing her left eye.

When she let go of Fay and saw Luffy, the girl took a scalpel from a trolley next to her and turned black with Haki.

"Stay back, man!" her voice was dripping venom and the way she uttered the word 'man' like it was the most vile thing on Earth. Luffy felt like he was facing Hancock once more, only younger and less regal.

He put his hands up in the universal 'I come in peace' sign and smiled, "Wow, Armament too. That is impressive for such a young age, even for a Kuja."

Her eyes widened in surprise and was going to say something but stopped when Nami hit Luffy on the head, "She's a freaked out young girl and the first thing you say is about Haki?!" she shouted at him, and then turned to the girl and approached her calmly with a smile, "I'm sorry about him, don't worry he won't hurt you, not all men are bad. My name is Nami, what's yours?" as she was talking she slowly lowered the girls hand and smiled.

The girl frowned, "No, the Empress said all men were evil and I saw it with my own eyes, men are definitely evil!" she raised her hand towards him again.

Robin decided to speak up, "Can you tell us your name first?"

The girl directed a scowl onto Luffy, then looked at Robin and slowly said, "Hera."

"Hello Hera, my name is Robin and this is-"

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, I'm gonna be king of the pirates!" he said with a stupid grin.

Robin continued undeterred though, "- our captain, I promise you he is not going to hurt you." The girl didn't budge until Fay smiled at her and nodded her head. She lowered her hand slowly and the obsidian color disappeared. Luffy grabbed a chair and sat in front of her a distance away, Robin stood next to him and Nami sat next to Hera.

"So Hera, how old are you?" Luffy asked friendlily.

"14," she said with a scowl.

"Really? You look older," Nami said.

"The Empress said I would grow tall," she answered, smiling for a millisecond before scowling again.

"So how did you end up here?" Robin asked.

"I was on watch duty on our ship and then something came from the water, I approached it but then someone threw a can to me. When I caught it sleeping gas came out and I woke up on the submarine. That was two weeks ago, I think."

"Hm? Ship you say? You mean Hancock took you to out of Amazon Lily when you're so young?" Luffy asked.

Hera's face turned red in anger and she raised her scalpel once more, "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THE EMPRESS' NAME YOU FILTHY MAN!"

"Ok, ok sorry, what do I call her?" he tried to placate her.

"You will not even mention the Snake Princess or I'll kill you!" she shouted, less but still angry.

"Uh, ok?" he glanced at Nami and Robin for help.

"So Hera, do you know the way back home?" Robin came to his rescue. Hera shook her head a no.

"Then do you want to travel with us until we run into your crew? We're pirates too. We are going to be in the first half of the Grand Line for a while, we may run into them, knowing your, uh, captain, she will be looking for you. If we don't run into her we know a man who can definitely get you home," Luffy said, smile on his face.

"Your friend, Fay, decided to stay with us because she doesn't have somewhere to return to," Robin informed her.

Hera was about to shout at him again but then Nami said, "It's alright. Not all men are bad, just like not all women are good, you can trust us."

Hera looked into Nami's eyes, her gaze full of scrutiny, searching for a hint of maliciousness or deceit. When she found none she did the same for Robin and then Luffy. She looked at Fay for her opinion and received a thumbs up.

She sighed dejectedly, "Fine, but I don't want anything to do with any men!"

"Alrig-" Nami was saying but Luffy cut her off.

"No," Luffy said sternly and they all looked at him. Hera was certain her worst fears became real and this man was going to hurt her but then he continued, "Do you know what you did today before you passed out?" he asked.

Hera tilted her head cutely then shook it, and Luffy blinked, "You don't? Well, when all those people passed out, that was because of you. It's called Conquerors Haki, Hancock has it too. You have a power that allows you to hit people weaker than you with just your will, if you can't control it, you'll hurt others and yourself. So I need to train you in it." He left no room for debate and Hera, with all her hate against men, felt compelled to listen to him. She wasn't going to obey so easily though.

"What makes a man like you think he can teach me a power the Snake Princess possesses? I bet you're even weaker than me, her majesty's apprentice," she taunted.

Luffy grinned, "Apprentice? You are strong enough. Okay, let's make a deal then," he said with his signature grin, "If I can beat you in a spar without moving from my place, then you'll let us train you. Not just me, everyone on the crew!"

Her eyes widened and then she smirked, "What about when I beat you?"

"If I even move from my place one bit we'll do whatever you want, you will order us all around until you leave."

"You have a deal, man."

"Okay then, Chopper, when will she be cleared?" Luffy asked his doctor.

"She'll be fine when she eats," replied the reindeer.

Luffy looked at Hera again, "Do you want any weapons?"

"My snake, Kaa, was left behind on the ship, but they took my sword, it will be on the submarine." Luffy nodded his head and looked at Robin who sprouted eyes and hands on the sub without doing her pose.

One hour later, a full Hera was on deck holding her sword at the ready, staring down Luffy. The other pirates and former slaves were watching on with amusement.

'Foolish man, he underestimates me because I am young. All of you will do my bidding,' she smirked and charged him. In the next 15 minutes Hera discovered that Luffy, even standing still, could beat her with one finger. His Haki was stronger and blocked any of her attacks, he was faster than her and could dodge all her attempts, even the kicks and techniques her Empress passed onto her were not enough to make him budge an inch. She honestly thought about him being as strong as Hancock.

She also felt humiliation for the first time in her life. Hera learned early on that she was more talented than anyone her age, even in distinguished tribe as the Kuja. By the age of eight she could beat teenagers that have gone through puberty with her sharp battle instincts and her powerful Armament Haki. The Empress took her on at the age of 11 after she bested a warrior on the crew. Suffice it to say, to Hera this was an experience she was ashamed of.

When Luffy was done showing her how outmatched she was, he blasted her with a wave of Conquerors Haki that brought her to her knees but didn't knock her out. "I win," he smiled at her and stopped his Haki assault, "And you will train under us until you go home!"

Hera cursed herself and this man inwardly. If she knew what was to come, she would have cursed herself for making such a deal in the first place.
