Previously in How a locked box changes everything:
Luffy and his straw hat crew defeated Arlong and his Arlong pirates and in doing so freed a whole island from a tyrannical ruler. After doing that and getting another crewmember in the process they continued their journey to Grand Line and One Piece, approaching the next stage of their trip Loguetown they found out that Luffy was now a wanted man with a 45,000,000 bounty on his head. Reaching Loguetown each crewmember went to buy supply for the next trip, be it swords, food, clothes or medications, In doing so old foes like Buggy and Alvida tried to trap and execute Luffy but thankfully failed, with the intervention of a storm and the navy, the crew was able to escape Loguetown.

Now:
Open sea East Blue approaching Reverse Mountain.
Despite the storm that was still raging on, the Going Merry managed to stay true to the shortest way to the entrance of the Grand Line: Reverse Mountain thanks to the navigator helmswoman team that were the sisters, they almost didn't need to communicate in order to know what to do.
"Can you repeat that please Nami, the entrance is a mountain?!" yelled Usopp in disbelief.
"Yes we need to follow the light coming from that lighthouse to reach the entrance." yelled the navigator to be heard despite the wind as she pointed to a lighthouse that stood over a rock island.
"Hey about we celebrate our going into Grand Line?" asked Sanji as he put a huge barrel in the middle of the deck.
"Despite the storm, are you mad?" asked Usopp not wanting to die.
"Don't worry Usopp, with me and Nami stirring that ship there is no way for any of us to die." stated Noijko.
"To Find All Blue!" yelled Sanji as he put his foot on top of the barrel.
"To Become the Pirate King!" yelled Luffy as he put his foot next to the cook's.
"To Become the Greatest swordsman in the world!" said Zoro.
"To Draw a map of the world!" said Nami.
"To Become a great doctor!" said Kaya.
"To….Become a great warrior of the sea!" said Usopp.
"To Travel all around the world!" said Nojiko.
The crewmembers all slammed their foot on the barrel to celebrate this huge stage in their adventure being over, soon they would leave East Blue to sail on the greatest sea of them all Grand Line.
Soon the crew could see an imposing chain of mountains of a reddish color, it was imposing you couldn't see the top.
"That's Redline it's the landmass that goes all around the globe!" explained the navigator to her clueless crewmates.
"And there it is Reverse Mountain, the entrance to Grand Line." said Nokiko pointing to the huge mountain that was in front of them.
"That's great but I have one question….How does a boat can sail up on a mountain?" asked Kaya, causing all the members to look at each other, they clearly didn't think about it.
"Look there, the water is going up the mountain!" yelled Usopp as he pointed to a canal that was in fact going up the mountain.
"How can that be?!" asked the cook wondering how the hell such a feat was possible.
"I don't know but it's look to be the only way." replied the swordsman to the cook question causing them to start bickering.
"Come on let's go, the longer we wait the longer it will take me to be the pirate king." Said Luffy who knew the path to his goal only started on Grand Line.
So the crew carefully sailed to the entrance of the canal, thanks to the two sisters they managed not to deviate and the ship didn't crash on the sides of the entrance.
The ship then climbed the mountain thanks to the ascending current, all the pirates were laughing as the wind caressed their faces thanks to the speed they were going at.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they were all amazed at what they saw, three other canals were probably connected to the other three seas: North Blue, West Blue and South Blue and then they all merged into one huge canals which went down the mountain to the Grand Line, it seemed that the current wouldn't left them the choice, they didn't have time to blink they were already on the way down.
"We were quite lucky no once decided to come to the Grand Line from the other Blues while we were climbling, that might have caused quite the accident." said Zoro.
"Don't say things like that you idiot, you will scare Nami-swan and Nojiko-chwan! Don't worry my ladies this sea knight will be more than happy to protect you." said the love sick cook.
Suddenly a loud wailing was heard coming from what was likely the end of the canal.
"What was that?" wondered Luffy.
"What is that huge Black wall!?" yelled Usopp having spotted before anyone else the huge wall that seemed to block the way into Grand Line.
"There isn't supposed to be anything blocking the way, at least there is nothing on the map but open sea!" said Nami a little desperate as she knew they couldn't stop the ship in time due to the high speed they were sailing at.
"That's not a wall, it's a whale!" yelled Sanji in disbelief.
"WHAT!" yelled everyone as they never saw a whale that big."
"More important is how we are going to stop, even if we try to switch directions the ship will ver trun in time." said Zoro keeping his head clear.
"I may have an idea….." started Usopp before he went inside the ship.
Suddenly the cannon below the figurehead was fired slowing the ship thanks to the recoil, however it wasn't enough and the sheep figurehead was broken against the whale's skin.
"Where are its eyes?" asked Luffy as they rowed the ship around the huge whale.
"Doesn't matter yet let's get away from that thing!" yelled Nami just as they passed near one of the whale's eyes.
It just happened that as they were the closest to the eye, Usopp exited the ship looking quite proud of his accomplishment after all he stopped the ship with just a single shot from a cannon and he single handedly saved every one. However as luck would have it Usopp tripped and he just happened to carry a bottle of hot tabasco sauce, which was sent flying and landed right in the whale's eye (of course!).
Much to the horror of the rest of the crew, the whale grew extremely angry and its eye glared at them, after diving the whale emerged before them and opened its big mouth full of teeth.
Unfortunately the Going Merry was headed straight towards the black hole that was the back of the whale's mouth. There didn't seem to be any kind of way to stop the ship this time, and if that wasn't enough Luffy lost his footing and fell overboard.
Thankfully for the straw hat captain, he knew how to swim, so he swam away from the teeth, finding himself out of the while his ship and his friends were swallowed by the monster whale.
Luffy managed to climb to the top of the whale's head, he did so because he knew he couldn't swim forever and because he wanted to find a way to find his ship and his friends. Strangely he found a hatch on top of the head. He decided to enter the strange hatch despite not knowing what it was because he didn't want to enter the water as he could feel the whale getting ready to dive back under the water.
Inside the Whale.
The rest of the straw hat found themselves inside the whale's stomach, though none of them realized it yet because the sky was blue and not whatever color the inside of a whale's stomach is, there was even some clouds.
"What the hell happened?" wondered Zoro.
"We were swallowed by the whale right?" wondered Kaya.
"I think so..." replied Usopp looking around him.
"Or maybe it was just a dream." said Sanji as he looked at the blue sky.
"Yeah it must have been a dream." said Nami glad to have an explanation that wasn't a scary one.
"Yeah but in that case what is that Island doing here? Where is Luffy? And more importantly where is the mountain we just came from?" asked Nojiko.
Suddenly a giant squid emerged in front of the ship frghtening the less brave members : Usopp, Nami and Kaya.
"A...Giant squid?!" yelled the three in disbelief as such beast didn't exist in East Blue.
The Straw hats were ready to defend the Going Merry when three harpoons struck the squid killing it, it seemed to come from the island with the house on top that Nojiko spotted earlier.
"There is someone on that island." stated the first mate.
"Let's hope its friendly." mumbled the cook.
Slowly the squid's corpse was dragged to the island, an old man with a strange head gear that made him look like a flower was gragging the corpse.
"Oh people." said the old man having seen the pirate ship with the crew on it.
Then the crew and the old man starred at one another for a long time before Sanji snapped "SAY SOMETHING DAMMIT!"
"Calm yoursel young man or it won't end well." stated the old man glaring at Sanji.
"Ah yeah and for who?" asked the cook in an arrogant manner.
"For me." replied the old man in an overly calm manner as he sat in a long chair reading a newspaper.
"Don't mock me!" yelled Sanji as he started to get angry.
"Calm yourself Sanji. We just have to ask him the right question : Hey gramps! Who are you and Where are we?" asked Zoro getting between Sanji and the old man before the cook attacked the old man in anger.
"...Before answering you maybe you should introduce yourselves..." started the old man.
"Ah you are right sorry." said the first mate as he got ready to start with the introduction.
"I am Crocus, I guard the Lighthouse of Twins Peak, I am 71 and I am a gemini." finished the newly introduced Crocus giving a lot of information about himself just like that.
This casual way of handling things made Zoro loose his calm attitude and the swordsman threatened the old man.
"You came here screeching like monkeys and bother me in my second home, and you want me to tell you where you are? You were not swallowed by a mouse you idiots. You can leave by taking that door over there. " said Crocus pointing the door that lead to the outside world.
"Look that door is floating on the sky!" said the navigator in disbelief.
"No look the clouds they aren't moving, they seem to be painted." said the sharpshooter.
"So we really were swallowed..." said the nurse in shock.
Suddenly the whole place shook, revealing the island to be a steel plated ship, the old man seemed to have seen it before and dived into the water.
"The sea isn't made of water, it is stomach fluid it's highly corrosive. That's why the island is coated in steel in order not to be destroyed by the acid, that's why we should leave soon if we don't want to be dissolved." stated Kaya having read about human fluids in her medicine books.
The old man was seen climbing a ladder to reach a door higher in the stomach.
Meanwhile with Luffy.
The straw hat captain was starring a little unnnerved at a cannal build inside the whale, he wondered what use could something like this have.
Then the whole place started to shake causing the pirate captain to loose his footing and run in a random direction on steel ground that ran alongside the canal.
Further down the canal two strange individuals were standing near a door.
"Remember Miss Wednesday we are doing this for the Whale Meat." said a redhead man wearing a crown with the number nine tattoed on both his cheeks.
"Yes I know, we need that meat to save our town." said the blue haired girl next to him.
"In three we will open the doors right Miss Wednesday." stated Mr 9.
"Yes Mr 9, I am ready...What is this Mr 9?" asked Miss Wednesday to her partner, having heard Luffy's footsteps.
"I don't know..." replied the man.
Suddenly these two individuals saw Luffy coming around a corner still running like a madman, it seemed like he was unable to stop himself.
With no real way to slow down the straw hat wearing teen ran into the two individuals and sent them and himself flying into the air, the three of them were flying inside stomach.
"We are falling into the stomach's fluid we are done for." said Mr 9.
"Noooo!" yelled his artner not wanting to die.
"Hey guys, there you are...can someone fish them up?" asked the captain to his crew just before the three flying people fell into the fluid.
Sanji was the one that fished the two idiots that sank inot the fluid, while Luffy swam back to the Going Merry.
While this was going on inside the stomach, Crocus went further inside the whale where a huge syringe was standing near a huge window. The old man used the syringe to calm the whale before it killed itself.
"Oh the whale has calmed down." remarqued Nojiko as the fluid settle down near the ship.
"We are on a pirate ship what should we do?" whispered the blue haired girl to her partner.
"Don't worry I am sure that they would hear what we have to say." whispered back the red haired man.
"I won't let you hurt Laboon!" yelled Crocus having returned from calming down that huge whale.
"Haha Now that we are inside that thing stomach it is easy to pierce it." said Mr 9 as he and his partner fired their handheld cannons to a random part of the stomach.
The old man not wanting his friend to be hurt jumped in the way of the cannonballs.
"Now you can't protect your friend anymore we will have that meat!" said Miss Wednesday as she and her partner got ready to fire once more, however Luffy having enough of this hit them both on their heads sending them into blissfull unconsciousness as they fell head first in the wooden floor.
Having defeated the two strange individuals that wanted the whale's meat the crew went to Crocus' island to have more information about Grand Line and Laboon.
"Thank you for these two, they live in a town near by and they want to kill Laboon for its meat wwhile it is true that the meat could help them survive, I won't let them for you see there is a reason why Laboo stays here and slams its head on Redline." started Crocus as he explained how Laboon came here following a pirate crew from West Blue, how this crew left the young Laboon with Crocus while they sailed the Grand Line 50 years ago.
While the old man told his story he also led the two ships out of Laboon, Luffy stood deep in thoughts while this was going on.
"What are you thinking about captain? That's not healthy to think that much." said Zoro having spotted his captain looking at a point far away.
"That whale...It must be so sad, i wonder what I can do to ease that pain and suffering before leaving." replied te straw hat wearing captain to his green haired first mate.
Soon they were again on normal water near the Twin Peaks.
"What should we do with them?" asked Usopp pointing at the two tied up morons who were still unconscious.
"Throw them over board." said the captain something which the crew happily did.
Once they hit the water they regained conscioussness and for a moment thought they were in the stomach fluid.
"Don't worry Miss Wednesday this is normal water." said Mr 9 to his partner.
"By the way, you never told us who you were." said Luffy as he looked at the two swimming idiots from the ship.
"Shut up that isn't important for you." yelled Miss Wednesday who wasn't happy to have been thrown over board.
"Wait Miss Wednesday they are pirate so they will meet our organisation and rue the day they disrespected us." said Mr 9.
"You are right, our comrades will avendge us you filthy pirates!" yelled Miss Wednesday as she and her partner swam away from the ship and the whale.
"Hm they lost something." stated Luff y as he picked up a leather wristlet with a glass shaped sphere with an arow inside it.
With these two gone the crew and Crocus rested near the Twin Peaks Lighthouse with the old man warning them that prsuing the two thieves wouldn't matter since others would come to try to take the whale meat.
"50 years that' a long time to sail, will we take that long in our own adventure?" wondered Usopp.
"No Usopp, something must hav happened to them. They must be all dead." said Sanji.
"That's right. I myself sailed all over this sea to look for them in my ship doctor days but I didn't find them, only rumors that they left the Grand Line somewhere." said Crocus "When i tried to explain it to Laboon he went mad, That's when he started to hurt himself like that."
"Hmmm I know!" yelled Luffy suddenly before he went before Laboon's enormous head.
"Hey you the whale I declare you to be a member of our crew!" yelled the captain surprising every one.
"Hey Luffy you can't, that whale can't go on Merry!" stuttered Kaya, Nami and Nojiko.
"Unfortunately your size makes it impossible for you to follow us, but I promise we will return some day, after all I will be the pirate king, so I paint our flag on your head to seal our promise." said Luffy to his honorary crewmember the whale Laboon who now had a poorly drawn straw hat flag paint on his head and over his many scars.
This act made the huge whale teary eyed, The crew and Crocus smiled at the action of the pirate captain.
With that done, the starw aht crew got ready to leave the Twin Peaks, however once Nami picked the compas she was shocked.
"The compas it's out of control, it doesn't work any more." said the navigator in shock and panic.
"Ah it's normal You need a special compas called a Log Pose to travel on Grand Line, your captain picked one some time ago,the log pose is drawn to the magnetic field of the islands of Grand Line once it is set on a field he won't reset until you reach that Island and let the pose reset. Be warned however that the pose can reset seven times after what he will set on the last island Raftel." sad Crocus to the crew.
"Raftel huh The island where the one piece is." said Luffy in wonder.
After eating a meal prepared by Sanji the crew gt ready to leave, however the two idiots were now back to reclaim their lost Log Pose.
"Ah you again..." stated Nojiko as she watched the two individuals approach the Going Merry.
"AH you see we seem to have lost our log pose which is the only way to travel on Grand Line so we are here to ask you to give the pose back to us please." said Mr 9 as he and Miss Wednesday got on their knees in front of the crew minus Zoro who went to sleep.
"No It is our log pose now, if you want it back you can try to win it back in a fight, or you can travel with us until we reach your town." proposed the captain knowing the two of them wouldn't try to fight.
"What shall we do Mr 9, we aren't strong enough to defeat a whole crew but I don't want to be in dept with a crew of pirate." whispered the blue haired woman to her partner.
"I understand Miss Wednesday but we don't have a choice, we need to get back to Whiskey Peak." whispered the red haired man.
"We agree to sail with you until our hometown Whiskey Peak." said Miss Wednesday to the captain of the ship.
"Kid are you sure you want to do this?" asked Crocus fearing the crew would get screwed by the two thieves.
"Mah Don't worry Crocus, Luffy here is super strong if they try anything he will kick their asses." bragged the sniper.
With that done the crew plus their two guests left Twin Peaks behind and sailed into Grand Line, leavin their new friend the whale Laboon.
"Is he the one you were speaking of? I can shake the feeling... That kid remind me of you Roger." said Crocus as the Going Merry was getting further and further away.
During the next hours the weather changed at least four times between sunny, then cold and snowing to a storm then back to clear weather. It took the whole crew and the amazing talent of the duo of Nami and Nojiko to understand how to sail in such a changing weather. The two sisters even got the guests to help as Zoro was still sleeping.
Open Sea approaching Whiskey Peak.
Every one laid still on the wooden floor of the ship, they were exhausted Nami and Nojiko didn't let anyone without anything to do, exept the lazy Zoro who slept through the whole thing.
The green haired man finally woke up, stretched and noticed the two guests.
"Ah it's you two, what are your names already?" asked the swordsman.
"I am Mr 9." said the red haired man being scarred of Zoro.
"And I am Miss Wednesday." said the blue haired woman stuttering.
"That's it...It's weird those names sound really familliar as if I had heard of them before. But I can't seem to remember where I heard those kind of names" said Zoro thinking about where could he have heard of that kind of name.
However before the first mate could do anything about it he was hit on the head from behind by the navigator who seemed furious that the green haired man slept through the whole time the others had to work.
"You have quite a deep sleep don't you Zoro?" asked Nammi with an aura of deep rage around her, she then proceeded to beat the crap out of Zoro for daring to sleep that much.
Soon they were in sight of Whiskey Peak and it's huge Cacti, Mr 9 and Miss Wednesday jumped from the ship after thanking the pirate for their help. After that they sailed to the harbor of Whiskey Peak to anchor their ship.
"Welcome friend pirate to our town of Whiskey Peak, I am Igarappoi the mayor of this town, our town is best known for its musicians and it's alcohol distillery. Our tanks are full, so allow us to throw you a party!" said a blond haired man welcoming the crew into the town, all of the villagers seemed to be with him, cheering for the pirates.
"Hey Mr mayor how long des the log pose needs to reset here?" asked the navigator.
"The Log Pose... please leave the boring things for later." said Igarrapoi.
'That's strange, even back home the mayor was scarred at first when Shanks came' thought the captain as he and his crew followed the mayor into the tavern where a party waited for them.
Later Tavern of Whiskey Peak.
The party lasted late into the night, Sanji was flirting with many women who seemed entranced by what the sea cook told them, Usopp and Kaya were having a liitle date though both of them would deny that fact, Nami and Zoro were having a little drinking contest with some of the villagers, Luffy and Nojiko were eating together with the captain getting to know his newest crewmember better, and Nojiko was also giving him blackmail material over her younger sister.
Soon however the pirrates all fell in a deep sleep be it due to exhaustion, alcohol or food comas, Igarrapoi the mayor left the tavern looking quite disturbed looking at a sheet of paper.
"This night again the moon shines brightly over the rock-cacti." said the mayor as he looked at the moon.
"I didn't know you were such a good poet Mr 8!" said Mr 9 as he and his partner sat on the roof of the tavern.
"Ah it's you..." stated the now revealed Mr 8.
"Where are the pirates?" asked Miss Wednesday.
"Those idiots? They fell straight into hell." said Igarrapoi.
"Ah my god! I never saw such heavy drinkers and messy eaters before. Luckily I only had iced tea in my glasses otherwise I would have been in a coma right now." said a nun as she left the tavern "But why did we threw such a party? They are only seven kids after all?"
"Ah Miss Monday." said Mr 8 as he looked at his partner who slowly removed the nun outfit she wore as a disguise revealing a tall, muscled and dark skinned woman.
"Because now our food supply are much lower than before and I guess that we still don't have the whale meat." said Miss Monday to her comrades.
"What does that mean!" yelled the Mr 9 pair looking a little angry.
"Calm down every one, I took the time to look up our visitors and here is what I found." said the blond haired man showing a wanted posters to his comrades.
"45,000,000 Berries!" yelled the three of them in shock at the bounty given to a newby pirate.
"Yes so you see we just have to tie them up and search their ship for any treasures and then hand them over to the Navy. We can't kill them as the governement likes its public executions." said Igarrapoi to his comrades.
"I am afraid I can't let you do that. You see my friends had a pretty rough day and so they need the rest." said a voice coming from the roof of the nearby church.
"Mr 8! Miss Monday! One of the pirates managed to wake up." yelled a random villager.
"That can't be they were dead drunk!" yelled Mr 8 in shock.
"A swordsman never let himself trap by the booze." said the swordsman as he slowly unsheathed one of his new swords.
"I think I get it now, this town is a bounty hunter place, you lure the pirates here and then collect the bounties while they are not being able to defend themselves." observed the green haired man grinning at th thought of the good fight that will surely happen between himself and the bounty hunters. "I will be your opponent Baroque Works!"
"How do you know the name of our organisation!"yelled the members of Baroque Works in shock as the name of the organisation is supposed to be one of the greatest secret in the world.
"I have a past of bounty hunter behind me and so I was approached by your organisation, but since the members are called by codename and the members don't know each other's identity even the name of the boss is unknown I declined. And despite your organisation being a criminal organisation that is well organised I was able to dispatch the recuiter easily enough." explained the first mate.
The 100 bounty hunters glared at Zoro who glared back at them, the two groups were in a mexican stand off when the captain showed himself.
"Oh Zoro you were awake too?" said Luffy as he just left the tavern.
"Ah Luffy, you are awake but how did you know?" asked the first mate.
"I just knew, besides I thought it was strange about how we were welcomed like that in the town I mean in my hometown there was unease when pirates came until their goals were known." replied the captain.
"Nice! Say how about you leave them all to me, I need to see what my new swords are capable of in a fight." said the swordsman.
"Help yourself, I won't interfere but I will defend myself." said Luffy as he jumped to the tavern roof to see the battle that would begin soon enough.
"Kill him! but don't touch the straw hat boy, he needs to be taken alive." ordered Mr 8 to all the bounty hunters.
The bounty hunters were aiming at where Zoro was, only to find him missing.
"Hello can we begin this now." said the swordsman from the middle of the bounty hunters.
Some bounty hunters tried to shoot the man but he dodged causing the bounty hunters that fired at him to be taken out by their own allies shoots.
"What speed!" said Igarrapoi just as a blade cold be seen comig from his hair, in fact the green haired man was standing back to back with the fake mayor and had one of his sword planted in the blond man's hair.
"Here he is I got him." said one random bounty hunter as he aimed at Zoro.
"No don't shoot! Igarappa!" yelled Mr 8 to keep his men from firing as he knew the swordsman would dodge causing him to be the one injured. The fake mayor then used his saxophone who is really a fire arm to shot a good amount of bullets at Zoro.
The green haired man was still able to dodge the thing and only unimportant bounty hunters were hurt.
"That man is strong, we will need to be serious against him." stated Mr 9.
Despite what Mr 9 said the swordsman easily took care of the cannonfodders that were the 100 bounty hunters. In the end only the four real members of Baroque Works were left standing.
"Nittoryu Taka Nami!" said Zoro as he took down the last of the unimportant bounty hunters.
Miss Monday tried to catch the swordsman by surprise, she used a ladder as a bat showing her physical strenght but, the swordsman dodged the attack by ducking on the ground.
"Kairiki Meriken!" said Miss Monday as she punched Zoro who was laying on the ground after dodging the previous attack. The attack hit the swordsman in the face but while the brass knuckles made him bleed a little the attack didn't do any real damage.
The green haired swordsman defeated the dark skinned woman by slowly crushing her skull with only one hand, the pirate let go before he killed her therefore the woman was only unconsciouss.
"Dammit he took down Miss Monday! Igarrappa!" said Mr 8 as he fired once more at Zoro but as usual the swordsman dodged easily.
"Come On Carue!" yelled Miss Wednesday as her pet duck appeared, she choose to ride the thing like a horse but the dukc obeyed the order like a dog would and even then not as good as a genuine one.
"You are easily distracted aren't you. Nekketsu Nine Konjo Bat!" yelled Mr 9 from above Zoro as he jumped and did some accrobatics things before striking the swordsman with his bat.
The first mate blocked the strike with his sword and engaged in a sword vs bat fight, slowly walking his foe to the edge of the roof they were standing on.
"So You don't do your accrobatics anymore?" taunted the pirate.
"You will see!" yelled Mr 9 as jumped back only to fall as he leapt where they were no roof to land on.
"They are all idiots or what..." grumbled the green haired man.
After that Miss Wednesday tried to attack Zoro too only for her duck to miss entirely. In the end Zoro dispatched the remaining agent just as easily as he did the cannonfodders.
Luffy then jumped to where Zoro was and together they cleared the roof they were standing on.
Suddenly both of them jumped bac to their feet and looked down on the street where Mr 8 was slowly getting up.
"Mr 5?! Miss Valentine?! Are you here to help us?" asked Mr 9 as he too got up.
"Who do you take us for?! We aren't here to help such weaklings we are here under orders from the boss, he said and I quote ''My secret was uncovered'' so here we are, we investigated and found that two members of a special kingdom infiltrated us." explained Mr 5 as he looked down on the lower agents.
"Hey It isn't because I wore a crown that I really am a king you know." said Mr 9 trying to defend himself while Mr 8 and Miss Wednesday were looking as if they were afraid.
"It isn't you that we are looking for the guilty one are the princess Nefertari Vivi and captainof the guard Igaram!" said Miss Valentine as she dismissed Mr 9.
"Run Milady...Igarrappappa!" yelled Mr 8 as he used his bowtie to fire guns that hid in his hair at Mr 5.
Miss Valentine floated to Miss Wednesday and tried to kick her in the head however she was sent flying into the wall as Luffy hit her with a well placed Assakuuki Cannon as if he knew where she was before she was there.
"What..." said Mr 9 and Miss Wednesday.
"Zoro leave the new guys to me you had your fun." ordered the captain as he jumped down on the street.
Mr 8 fell on the ground looking as if he got to close to a bomb, Mr 9 looked lost and Miss Wednesday starred at her friend and also at Luffy before she ran away with Carue.
"Dammit Miss Valentine You let the girl escape!" yelled the dark skinned man that was Mr 5 to his partner.
"Don't worry Mr 5 I won't let that kid surprise me again!" said Miss Valentine as she opened her umbrella and floated away in pursuit of the blue haired girl.
Luffy left in pursuit, with Mr 5 following him after he dealt with Mr 9 who tried to protect his former partner.
Zoro was left standing there as he wondered what to do.
"Please you are strong I beg you protect the princess! I will give you anything you want!" pleaded the downed Igaram.
"Wait Zoro don't accept yet, I need to negociate our fees." said a smiling Nami as she showed she was awake since the beginning.
"You you were awake this whole time?!"
"Why yes I used your fight as the distraction it was in order to loot the town, I didn't find much but don't distract me I need to negociate how much will we be given to protect this princess." said the navigator smiling as she thought of how much money they would make.
"Don't bother Luffy already left to protect this pirncess."
"What! That idiot." yelled the greedy girl.
With Miss Wednesday.
The blue haired girl rode her pet duck as if the fires of hell were after her, wich wasn't far from the truth.
Suddenly a heavy thing fell before them destrowing the road.
"You won't go anywhere Your Majesty, you know the boss' secret and so you need to die." said the blonde woman that was Miss Valentine.
"Please Miss Valentine don't do it you don't know what kind of man you are working for, you don't know what Crocodile is really capable of...Shit!" said the princess before realising she blurted the very secret the woman wanted her dead for.
"...Crocodile..." said Miss Valentine as she looked shocked, she seemed to froze looking deep in thoughs.
Luffy and Mr 5 who just arrived near them also heard the name of the boss and while Luffy wondered who the hell this Crocodile was, Mr 5 looked angry at his partner for some reason.
"You really can't do anything can you? Miss Valentine you should know that the boss gave me additional orders, if you were to be found useless I was to execute on the spot, I will gladly do so since I can't stand your laugh any longer." stated the Baroque Works member.
"What...!?" said both Luffy and Vivi looking shocked at the orders and that Mr 5 would execute them so casually.
"Nose Fancy Cannon!" said Mr 5 as he calmly flicked a boggey at Miss Valentine who was still frozen in shock.
Luffy using his superior speed got in the way of the boggey, as soon as the thing hit his skin it exploded.
Thinking the both of them dead, the dark skinned man turned his sight on the blue haired teenaged girl. "You really should have stayed home princess."
"Hey you How dare you try to hurt your Nakama?" asked Luffy who was definitely not dead.
"You...I gues that means my former partner isn't dead too..."
"Mr 5 You... despite the years we worked together you tried to kill me that easily, you really feel nothing don't you?" asked Miss Valentine to her now former partner.
"Blame your silly laugh, and besides your Kilo Kilo no mi is useless compared to my Bomu Bomu no mi, the boss had high hope for you Miss Valentine or shoul I call you by your birth name D..." started Mr 5.
"SHUT UP!" roared the blonde haire woman as she jumped in the air "Nobody get to say that name! Die 10,000 kilos Guillotine!"
Mr 5 didn't even tried to move, he knew he just had to wait for his former partner to get close then he would blow himself up, which wouldn't kill him and as Miss Valentine wouldn't have time to react she would die.
"Assakuuki Cannon!" said Luffy as he used his technique to move Mr 5 from where he was saving Miss Valentine's life.
"Why did you do that, He was mine to kill!" said Miss Valentine after she got up from where she landed.
"He would have exploded once you were close to him killing you in the process, Being blinded by rage you didn't consider this possibility, had I not acted when I did you would have been dead." said the pirate captain.
"Why...How..." said the confused formr Baroque Works agent.
"Why : Because I think that your fruit power could be usefull in so many ways and for that I want you to join my crew to help train the weaest member. And How: I don't really know, I git a weird sense of deja-vu." said Luffy as he tried to explain himself.
Before Miss Valentine or Vivi could really say anything about this statement, Mr 5 returned form where he was sent.
"You... You straw hat boy, you are someone I ought to kill now before you become to strong." said Mr 5.
"You shut up Soru!" said Luffy using his superior speed to appear next to Mr 5 he then proceeded to give him the ass kicking of the century.
After that Mr 5 laid down on the ground unconsciouss, that done Luffy and the two girls returned to the street leading to the harbor where Zoro was.
Once reunited Luffy introduced Miss Valentine to Zoro and Nami, who by now were used to their captain weird thoughts about the crewmembers.
Igaram and Vivi decided that the princess would sail with the pirates taking the long road while he would sail straight to Alabasta disguised as the princess.
After some tearfull goodbyes, the pirates were identified by some members of Baroque Works as knowing the identity of the boss thanks to Vivi who blurted the secret again.
Suddenly the ship Igaram used blew up, shocking the straw hats.
"Let's go we need to take the others and leave as soon as possible." ordered the captain taking a shocked Vivi to the ship.
Soon Zoro, Nami and Miss Valentine returned with the others crewmembers, while Nami and Valentine took the time to wake Kaya and Nojiko, the swordsman simply threw Sanji over his shoulder and grabbed Usopp by the foot and caried them to the Going Merry.
"Let's go we don't have much time!" said the straw hat wearing captain worried over the explosion that took out Vivi's friend and caretaker.
"If you were looking to flee from me, I assure you its much too late." said a voice coming from behind them.
A black haired woman wearing a white cowboy hat and some black clothes was sitting on the barrier of the Going Merry.
"I just saw Mr 8, Miss Wednesday, Miss Valentine." said this woman to he shocked girls.
"You...Killed Igaram/that guy!" chorused the former member of Baroque Works "And what are you doing here Miss Allsunday?!"
"Another one, whose partner is she?" said Nami lookin a little afraid that another agent found them so quickly.
"She is Mr 0, the boss' partner." said the blond haired woman.
"It's by following her that we managed to discover Crocodile's identity." added the princess.
"Or to be more precise, I allowed your men to tail me." corrected Miss Allsunday.
"Don't laught at us, I also know that it is you that told Crocodile that we found out about him."
"Of course I had to, besides a little princess and her little pet couldn't hope to win against Baroque Works, but since your efforts are at least entertaining I will help you." said the black haired woman before stopping as she saw who was standing at her sides.
"Hey Usopp did you understand what she talked about?" asked the cook to his fellow crewmate as he aimed a gun at Miss Allsunday.
"No I didn't, but she feels like a bad guy." replied the sniper while he too aimed his slingshot at the intruder.
Suddenly both of them were sent over the barrier shocking all of the pirates and showing the agent's devil fruits power.
"I would like not having any kind of weapon aimed at me, please." stated Miss Allsunday.
The blonde haored woman starred fearfully at her former boss' partner, this display proved the fact that all pairs above the Mr 6's had devil fruit powers.
"You...have an ability...Why aren't you killing us, we know you could do it." asked the former Miss Valentine.
"I am not here to kill any of you, I am here to help you as I said before I was so rudely interupted. The nest Island on your way is called Little Garden, and trust me you don't want to go there unless you wish to die an extremely slow and painful death. So here is an eternal pose to Alabasta, at least with that you will live and keep things interesting." explained the intruder. "So will you accept my help?"
Luffy starred at the eternal pose for what seemed like eternity, as captain of the ship it was his role to keep his crewmembers safe from harm or at least not make rash decision that could endanger their safety even more than just being pirate. Normally taking that eternal pose would be a great idea but the fact that the deal was proposed by an enemy made this offer a lot less interesting, in fact it may even be a trap.
"Don't take that offer Luffy, it must be a trap." stated the first mate frowning at the intruder.
Hearing these words made the captain think back to his tortu...hum...training.
Flashback
Dawn Island 7 years ago.
A younger Luffy could be seen sitting down on a chair in front of table, he was starring at what could only be battle tactics or something like that.
His Grand father was looking fondly over his working grandson.
"Good keep going Luffy, If you know how some battles were lost then when the same thing will happen to you, you won't make the same mistake and therefore you won't loose the battle." shouted the old man.
"But Gramps I don't get it, Why do I have to learn what the navy soldiers did?" asked the frustrated ten years old.
"Because I said so! And also because imagine you are a captain you have two choice before you, one that will lead to parts unknown and where your crewmembers could get hurt, and the other given to you by someone you know is a foe but is surely shorter and safer, then what will you do?" replied the old navy soldier.
"I will take the path that will lead to the unknown parts because it is the one that could have the most adventures." replied Luffy.
"No that isn't a good answer wht you should have done is that : take your foe offer so that they will think they will catch you offguard, then go the other way." stated Garp.
"But that's lame!"
"No it isn't!"
And this ended this particular tortu...hum...training session.
Flashback end.
"We will take that pose." stated the captain relieving some of his weaker crewmates.
"Do as you wish, I just hope you will keep things lively." stated the woman as she went down to the turtle he rode to come here.
The turtle and its mysterious rider left over the horizon, and the Going Merry was left alone in the Whiskey Peak's harbor.
"Are you sure you want to do that kid?" asked the newcomer Miss Valentine.
"Psh No I just said that so that she would leave that thing here, but I am the captain of this ship not her and since the log pose we have is set on another island we will go there first, that way they will think their trap worked while we will bypass all of their men." stated the captain.
"But let's talk about you for a moment there, why were you in Baroque Works tp begin with and why were you so shocked once you learned of the Mr 0's real identity?" wondered the first mate.
"I don't like to talk about my past because it is my past, but I guess I can tell you this much. I was in Baroque Works because of the secrecy it endorsed and I don't like Shichibukai since some of them only used the position to hide their nefarious deeds, one such as this destroyed my family but I know I can't kill him since I am nowhere near strong enough." explained the former Baroque Works agent.
Luffy seemed to ponder her words for a minute before reaching a conclusion "Allright you can go with us, besides I don't think you can go back with Baroque Works and sailing alone isn't something I would recommend."
"Yeah that idiot is right, in any of the four Blues you could have sailed alone but in this sea forget it." added the navigator.
"Allright once every one is up and ready we ill sail away from here and head to the next island by following the log pose." ordered the captain as Kaya and Nojiko were still asleep inside the ship.
Usopp and Nami who were the most familiar with the sleepers were charged with waking them up. Once done, Luffy explained what they missed and how they got a new crewmember out of it, then the crew prepared to sail to Little Garden.
Some days later open sea somewhere between Whiskey Peak and Alabasta.
Two ships were sailing next to one another, one had the number three on its sail and the other looked to be powered by some king of engine.
Inside the ship with the three on it a young looking girl was painting on a canvas while two men were discussing something. One of the men was tall had black curly hair and wore a brown trenchcoat it was Mr 5, the other a pale skine black hair in the shape of a three and he wore grey pants, a grey and blue shirt and glasses he was also sipping tea.
"So Mr 5, what are you doing in my presence?" asked Mr 3.
"Well Mr 3 I hae a bone to pick with some pirates that humiliated me lately and I know for a fact that this way is where I have the most chance of catching them since I know they were headed to Alabasta." replied Mr 5 to his superior.
"Mhhh maybe but you are quite lucky in some aspects. It just happened that the boss modified the orders he gave us, at first we were to go to Little Garden to catch one of the Giant that live there but now we are to patrol on the way to Alabasta looking for a pirate ship with a straw hat on its flag and a sheep as a figurehead." stated the man with the three shaped hair.
"Great those are just the pirates I am looking for Mr 3, Miss Goldenweek let me help you catch them! There are two or three traitors that must sail with them : the former Miss Wednesday and my former partner Miss Valentine!" said Mr 5 to his two superiors.
"Very well I have no objection as long as you don't let me down Mr 5!" stated the superior officer. "What about you Miss Goldenweek?"
"I guess he can stay..." said Miss Goldenweek in a monotonous tone of voice.
"Thank you you won't regret it!"
Mr 5 having convinced his superiors that he could help them decided to wait for Luffy and his crew here, however the straw hat crew didn't take that path and so they waited for two weeks before an order from Mr 0 made them leave for Alabasta.
Open seas leaving Little Garden one week later.
The straw hat crew had just keft Little Garden where they met two giants Broggy and Dorry who were locked in a fight of a 100 years because of a stupid reason that both forgot, during their stay Luffy, Vivi and Miss Valentine got cloe to Dorry, while Nami, Nojiko, Usopp and Kaya got close to Broggy, while Zoro and Sanji both went hunting for some food.
In the end the first mate and the cook unknowingly reproduced the accident that caused the duel between the giants, witnessing that fact made the giants aware that they fought for a stupid reason but still their honor dictated that they fought until there was a victor.
In thanks for the help the straw hat crew gave them the giants help them leave the Little Garden by killing the humongous fish called the island eater destroying their weapons in the process.
Two days after leaving the Island Nami collapsed in the kitchen, Kaya immediatl went to help her but the nursed couldn't do a thing, to make matter worse rumors that a civil war was brewing in Alabasta was all over the papers this made Vivi, the princess of the country vee stressed.
"We need to go to Alabasta as fast as possible and that is by curing Nami, We need to get a doctor." stated the princess.
And thus the Going Merry sailed to the next Island with the crew hoping to find a doctor that could help their sick navigator.
