"Captain says we're wearing pink today." Sanji said as he passed by Nami and Robin on his way to the kitchen. He was wearing a pink button-up under his jacket.

The ladies looked at each other and headed back to their room to change. Nami threw a pink shirt over her bikini top, and Robin replaced hers with a pink blouse along with a matching ribbon to pull up her hair. When they made it out to the deck, they saw everyone else was also wearing pink somewhere. Brook switched back to one of his more classical suits with a pink ascot, and Usopp had on a pink hat. Franky had gone all out, dying his hair pink and finding a speedo that was a bright neon shade of the color.

"So why are we wearing pink?" Nami asked sitting next Usopp on the lawn.

"For breast cancer." Chopper said. Chopper already wore a lot of pink so he didn't look that different.

"Um, what is that exactly?"

"Cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth. Normally cells die and our replaced by new ones. Cancer cells, instead of dying, just keep growing, and can even spread throughout your body." Chopper explained. "There are actually several types of cancer."

Nami nodded. "Ok, still doesn't explain why we're wearing pink."

Suddenly Luffy was flung back from where he had been trying to force Zoro into a too bright pink shirt. He landed a few feet away, shirt still in hand. He huffed and looked up at the sky.

"Do you want me to put it on him, Captain?" Robin offered.

"Nah," Luffy sat up. His red shirt had been replaced by with a pink one. He sighed and let his hat slide off to hang around his neck.

"Hey, Luffy?" Nami called. "What's up with today?"

Luffy looked up with a smile. "It's actually the whole month." He stood up. "Back in Foosha, the whole village celebrated this month by wearing pink. Everyone wore it, at least once a week."

"That's where you grew up, right?" Robin asked.

Luffy nodded. "Thirty years ago, a lot of women died because of cancer. Then this really awesome doctor stopped by and started helping. There wasn't a cure for cancer, but he helped ease a lot of the pain and taught our local doctors how to watch for signs and how to help prevent it."

"Oh, that's amazing! Do you remember his name Luffy?" Chopper asked.

"Nope!" The little reindeer sighed. "But the point is that today we're all wearing pink." He marched back over to Zoro.

"Hey! Nice to see everyone's in the spirit of things!" Shachi said as he hopped over the railing. Penguin followed up after him. A flash of pink peeked from under their sleeves.

"You guys too?" Usopp asked. He took Penguin's hand to look at the bracelet. "Boobies make me smile…" He read. Nami faced palmed and Franky laughed.

Shachi plopped down next the sniper. "The captains apparently got together about this. And well, you know, he just can't tell Straw Hat no." The group nodded with a few laughs. "I don't mind it at all. My brother had cancer. That's how I met the Captain actually. He healed him in exchange for my service on the sub."

Chopper's eyes immediately sparkled. "Because of his Devil Fruit, he can just remove the cancer cells from the body… That's Amazing!"

"Or something…" Penguin shook his head. "I would love for the Marines and a news reporter to attack us now. 'Straw-Heart Alliance showing off their support for cancer awareness by wearing pink as the plunder the New World!'" He said in a fake authoritative voice. "We'd be on every newspaper." The whole group chuckled over the thought.

"So, where is Traffy?" Robin asked.

"Probably looking for something pink. I think ninety percent of his clothes are black and yellow." Penguin sighed.

There was a sudden thump and Bepo pulled himself up on to the Sunny. Shachi had powered his ears pink. Robin lightly blushed and internally squealed at the sight. "Where's Luffy? Captain wants to see him."

Nami called Luffy over. "Traffy wants to see you." He sighed and handed her the shirt Zoro was still refusing to wear. Patting Bepo on the shoulder, he hopped down to the sub floating beside the ship. Nami and Robin excused themselves to go corner Zoro. "It's the shirt or you hair…"

Down in the sub Luffy made his way to Law's bedroom. "Traffy? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." The doctor was sitting on his bed looking down at something in his hands.

"What's that?"

"The only thing I own that has pink on it." He waved it. It looked like a hat. Luffy sat beside him and took it. "Maybe it's because of Doflamingo, but I've never been fond of the color." He took the hat back. "I bought this on a whim several years ago. Because it reminded me of something Cora-san wore. But I've never worn it myself." Luffy looked at the red cap with two pink flat tassels to hang down pass the ears.

"Everyone else is wearing pink… well, Zoro wasn't, but I bet he will be when we get up there." Luffy hummed. "I'll wear it and you can wear my shirt."

Law laughed. "I don't think it'll fit." He took a deep breath and pulled the cap on. He held it there, as though it might just hop off his head if he didn't hold it down. Luffy's laughter finally made him look up and loosen his hold.

"It looks good on you." Luffy grinned.

"I'm only wearing this for you." Law said as his hands dropped.

"You only have to wear it today. And maybe next October, if you still don't have anything pink." He took Law's hand. They stood and headed out of the sub.

"What about a pin? Something we could attach to the clothes we already wear."

"Hey, yeah, even Zoro would be ok with that." Luffy stretched his arm up the railing and pulled Law up with him.

Both captains paused in wonderment and slight horror. Zoro was wearing pink; in fact, he was covered in it. Bepo's fur and Brook's bones were also smothered in pink. And the Sunny's lawn… and everyone else.

"What happened?"

Some pointed to Zoro, some to Franky. Before anyone could say anything though, cannon fire rang through the air. The crews turned to see three Marine Battleships heading their way.

"Hey, maybe we'll get that front page after all…"
