"Man, our little Anchor sure packs a punch." Shanks groaned, rubbing his cheek.

After Luffy had defeated Blackbeard, Big Mom and Kaido, he had just happened to meet Red-hair pirates. Coincidentally. Shanks hadn't stalked him through his fights, honestly.

Trafalgar D Water Law, having helped them taking out Kaido, had been named as a new Yonko. Exasperatedly, Law had agreed that the Heart Pirates and the Strawhat Pirates were now nakama - the two crews had done so much together and had become so close that it would just be mean to separate them. They were practically nakama by that point. Plus Bepo and the others would probably just whine in his face. Though everyone was sure that they saw a small smile on his face when they celebrated.

No one complained when the Polar Tang and the Thousand Sunny were almost seen together all the time. Just the occassional huff from Law when the newspapers were spilling with theories of how Mugiwara no Luffy had gotten the equally fearsome Yonko, the Surgeon of Death, to participate in the most outragous of situations.

After taking down Big Mom, Capone Bege had been named the other Yonko. Kidd had gotten so mad that he just picked a fight with Bege, which ended with a draw. Soon, almost all the Supernova crews from Sabaody were fighting over that position. No one wanted to fight Blackbeard, for obvious reasons, or Law, since that would incur the wrath of the Fifth Yonko, Mugiwara no Luffy. The position changed so much that the journalists gave up on updating the current Yonko, saying it was "One of them."

Marco had taken Blackbeard's place after his defeat. It was only fitting that he, the former first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, took the place of the traitor that stole his late captains life.

The world had come to fear Monkey D Luffy, the man who had the power to take down three infamous Yonkos. They feared him, and his name brought terror to every island he went to.

Seeing Shanks, he and Luffy started fighting on a nearby island. Their fight lasted days, punches flying and haki flowing all over the place, courtesy of the two captains.

The other members of the crew just sat on the beach after their own matches, watching the ongoing fight, with occasional sleeping and Zoro asking Lucky Roo for more booze.

Usopp was obviously happy when he had beaten his dad at sharpshooting, the duo having some bonding time after their match.

Zoro had fought with Benn Beckman, first mate to unofficial first mate. Lucky Roo had fought Sanji, while Law fought Rockstar.

After the Red Hair Pirates, minus the captain, were defeated, they were all laughing and partying, cheering of how their little Anchor was awesome.

Benn had pulled Robin aside to talk about Raftel.

Robin had already translated the three Poneglyphs from Big Mom, Kaido and the Minks. Based on the coordinates, Nami had already deduced a wide area where Raftel could be. Finding the last set of coordinates was key to finding Raftel.

Except that no one knew where the last Poneglyph was.

Until Luffy struck Shanks hard in the cheek with Gomu Gomu no King Kong Gun, blowing a huge crater in the island.

And there, in all its glory, was the final Road Poneglyph, Shanks lying onto of it, passed out.

Luffy fell to the ground too, wiped out from using so much Haki.

After the duo had recovered, Luffy gave his hat back to Shanks. The older pirate held the hat in his hand, before plopping it back on Luffy's head, saying "Well you can't be the Strawhat pirates without a strawhay, ey Anchor?" Then they had gone to check out the Poneglyph.

Which, to everyone's surprise, was completely blank. They had checked all the sides, even overturning it to check its base.

No marks at all, not even a scratch. Until Luffy closed his eyes, and said, "Alright. We got it."

Soon enough, the Heart Pirates and the Strawhat Pirates sailed away from the island, with the Red Force in hot pursuit and Shanks scratching his head in confusion.

Then Luffy called someone on the Den Den Mushi, "Grandpa! We're going to Raftel! Wanna see too!?"

Of course, Garp had dragged Coby, Fugitora and Sengoku with him. Smoker, who just happened to overhear the conversation, had managed to convince Garp to let him and Tashigi go too.

Dragon, somehow, knew about this, him, Ivankov and Sabo quietly stalking the two ships in a small boat. For some weird reason, Ivankov dragged Crocilodile with him.

Hancock heard the news from Garp, and went to search for her "husband" immediately.

Bartomelo had been invited to be a Shichibukai, on the condition that he "stop bragging about Mugiwara and portraying him as a hero, he's a pirate for gods sake". The man who was known more commonly as the "Crazy Strawhat Fanboy who cries everytime their names are even mentioned" was informed by Sabo, and like Hancock he went after his senpais.

Marco was informed by Robin, and he banded the remaining former commanders together to visit their late little brother's little brother.

The rest of the Supernovas, they decided to follow the Strawhats to Raftel and fight them for the position, after hearing Bartomelo somewhere yelling to no one with tears running down his face, "Luffy-senpai will be the King of the Pirates! He has found Raftel! And I am so blessed to be able to witness his accent to power!"

All of them, upon reaching the island, were only met with a dark fog. The Strawhats and four Heart Pirates were standing there, Shank and Benn beside them. Hancock and Bartomelo were arguing about who was the bigger Luffy fan, with Crocodile making snide remarks and getting beaten up by the duo. Dragon was restraining Garp from punching his grandson for "becoming a dirty pirate just like Red Hair". Sengoku and Law were talking about the late Roinante, while the rest of the crew was fooling around with the less mature Strawhats. Marco was talking to Sabo and Robin, while his ship brothers caught up with Jinbe. Ivankov and Izo were discussing about makeup, until Ivankov brought Fugitora into their conversation about healing his eyes. Coby was talking to Smoker about who knew what and Tashigi and Zoro were arguing over their swords.

The Supernovas just stared at the huge batch of big-shots, all of them seemingly friendly and non-hostile.

There were four supposed Yonkos (Luffy, Law, Marco and Shanks), two rear admirals (Coby and Smoker were promoted), a former fleet admiral, admiral and vice-admiral(Sengoku, Fugitora, Garp), three revolutionaries (Dragon, Ivankov, Sabo), and four Shichibukai, two former and two current (Jinbe, Crocodile, Hancock, Bartomelo)

All of them in the same area with no hostility radiating off any of them. Except maybe a bit from Smoker and Garp at Luffy and almost all the pirates and the revolutionaries at said duo.

The Supernovas stared as Smoker attempted to jab Luffy with his jutte, only for the pirate to dodge it and wrap the logia in a hug, before dragging him towards his group, "Come on Smokey! Come play with us!"

They decided that nothing could be weirder then that.

Until Princess Shirahoshi arrived, with two passangers, Rebecca from Dressrosa and Vivi from Alabasta.

And their minds snapped.

Shirahoshi was apparently informed by Jinbe, who went on and contacted her friends from the Reverie, picking them up and returning to where Jinbe said they would be.

The marines were flabbergasted. Nothing more had to be said.

And in the commotion, no onr noticed that Mugiwara no Luffy had disappeared into the fog, until Vivi spoke up, "Ne, where's Luffy? I don't see him anywhere."

Zoro mumbled, "Shit head captain probaby got lost." Sanji insulted back,"That's you, moss head!"and the duo started fighting.

Smoker looked around, sure that the rubber boy had wrapped himself around him.

Until Chopper asked, "Was this rock always here?" Everyone went over to investigate it, and Robin translated the Poneglyph-like handwritting on the rock, "It says 'The past which makes who he is has been forgotten, the humble beginnings lost to time's origin.' "

"Whazzat supposed to mean?" Kidd asked, bringing the attention to the Supetnovas.

"Hm.. Raftel means 'The rough telling'. There could be a connection.." Robin mused.

"Our SUPER archeologist can figure it out for sure!"

No one seemed to care that the remaining eight pirates were there. That was normal.

"Ne, Robin, the words changed." Chopper tugged on Robin's sleeve.

"Hm.. 'There is no future without present, and no present without past. The forgotten still linger strong'."

The fog dispersed, showing a peaceful village. Garp and Dragon tensed up, the latter not so obvious.

"Ne... Where is this?" Coby asked.

"This... was Luffy's home.." Dragon said.

"This doesn't look like Dawn Island or Goa Kingdom!" Sabo questioned his superior.

"No, it's not. It's before that. Way before that." Garp lowered his head, being cryptic in his answer. Dragon also didn't add any information, leaving everyone confused.

Until they saw a small boy with an oversized shirt, clinging to a woman. He was so small, but everyone knew - that was Luffy.

"Oh dear," Robin realised, "This is Luffy's past. We're watching his life."

Alright, this story will be somewhat canon with some addional scenes that aren't canon courtesy of me. Some scenes may seem weird and a bit too farfetched, but hey, it's a fanfic!
