1 Piece Screwed up Rewind

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
"It's great to see you all again." Amande said when Luffy let her down once they were on the ship, the children cheering at how fast their daddy moved.
"My Queen." Robin gave a small smile as she curtsied.
"Oi, I might be the queen but that doesn't mean you all have to keep calling me that. Zoro does it cause he's a loyal rabid dog for Luffy. The rest of you don't have to-" As one almost as if they had practiced it, the rest of the crew began barking at her.
"I might be the most obvious one but we're all loyal dogs for our master." Zoro said with a grin as Pixie giggled loudly at all the barking, the other three kids looking shy and unsure but smiling slightly at them…aside from Jordan who was laughing loudly and beaming at them.
"Kinky. I thought I was the only one who called him that." Amande didn't skip a beat, making the rest of the crew snort or snicker aside from Nami who wasn't amused and Brook who laughed.
"Not what we meant." Nami said dryly although she knew that Amande was just teasing.
"I know…" Amande trailed off as she looked at her husband, her smile falling when she saw the circle in his stomach again.
"Luffy…do you mind if I ask how that happened? You're certainly strong enough to take out some Admirals…so how…?" Amande asked looking at her husband and gesturing to his stomach, her siblings hadn't told her how he had been hurt just that he had been gravely hurt. They had all been busy with their own fights.
"Ah. I was fighting Kizaru and Aokiji along with Sengoku and occasionally a vice-admiral or commodore that got close enough when I noticed Ace was losing his fight with Akainu cause of his pride and temper. I managed to knock me opponents away and got to Ace in time to knock him away from the magma fist, took a nasty hit to my stomach before I could raise my Armament in time though. The doctor guy said it was surprising that it didn't do as much damage internally as he thought it would but I almost always keep my organs coated in Haki just in case so…" Luffy shrugged it off and Amande sighed and pulled him close to kiss his cheek.
"I'm glad you managed to save your brother but if there's a next time…don't worry me like that again. My siblings came back saying that you took a magma fist through your stomach and didn't look like you'd survive." Amande said making Luffy's face go dead serious.
"I don't know how they got that. While the magma did hurt, I was still able to move and fight until we all got away. Although that was probably because I had Iva-chan pump some numbing hormones into me after I kicked Akainu clear across the island. Besides I'd never leave my crew, my Nakama, and I'd certainly never leave my Pirate Queen and our little prince and princesses." Luffy said pulling a funny face at the kids in his arms as he slowly lowered the toddlers down onto the deck, Pixie already taking off to hug everyone and then show her favorite Uncle her new skills with the sword.
"You'd better not or I'd bring you back to life just so I can kick your ass myself." Amande said wrapping her arms around him while he stretched his legs out again so that he could wrap his arms around her and hold her to his chest where her ear was pressed against the X burn so that she could listen to his heartbeat.
"I'm pretty sure he's into that." Usopp muttered to Franky who snorted loudly and tried to stifle it.
They were both smacked upside the head by Robin.
"Oi! Make sure you have fun rising back to the top you kids!" Rayleigh called from the hill where he and Shakky were standing watching over the Sunny and the group on it.
"Oh Rayleigh! We will! I'll even send you both an invite to the formal wedding! Hey kids say goodbye to Rayleigh and Shakky!" Luffy called back grinning and waving at them with one arm while his other was still wrapped around Yamato's waist.
"Bye Ray-jiji! Bye Shakky-baa-san!" Pixie yelled waving goodbye to the old couple and making Rayleigh nearly lose his footing and slip down the hill a bit. Shakky just laughed and waved goodbye to the kids, the three toddlers yelling their goodbyes as well after their big sister did.
Luffy laughed loudly at Rayleigh slipping a bit and when he regained his footing Rayleigh laughed as well and waved goodbye to the kids.
"Incoming fire!" Usopp warned them from the other side of the ship, spotting a few Marine boats firing cannonballs at them.
None of the original crew made a move to deflect the cannonballs while Amande and her group, who had managed to stay with the Sunny to protect her, began to move as if to deflect the cannonballs. Robin walked over to the children and introduced herself to the youngest ones before growing some extra hands to tickle them all at the same time, the kids laughing loudly and immediately trying to jump onto Robin to tickle her back.
"Slave Arrow!" A voice said and instantly the cannonballs were turned to stone and fell to the ocean long before they hit the Sunny.
"Isn't that the ship of the Kuja pirates?" Brancha asked staring at the flag and noticing how none of the main crew looked surprised.
"Oi Nami! You're on Sanji duty!" Luffy said as he approached the railing and Nami immediately stole Sanji's spyglass from him as he ran over to the railing, and Usopp cheerfully kept his own from the cook.
"Did that goddess just wink at us?!" Daja asked while Jalon turned to stone at the sight of the Pirate Empress.
"Thanks Hancock! See you all later!" Luffy called to the Warlord and even from here the rest of the Straw Hats could see her blushing and falling back into one of her sisters waiting arms. Apparently they had expected that.
"You know the pirate Empress?" Selsa asked in disbelief as she looked at Luffy.
"Yeah. When Kuma sent everyone flying he sent me to Amazon Lily. I ended up making friends with them. Although for some reason Hancock keeps asking me to marry her even when I've already told her I'm happily married." Luffy said and instantly all of the 'side crew' as they called themselves and Amande stared at Luffy in disbelief.
"The man hating Pirate Empress asked you to marry her?" Brancha asked gaping in disbelief at the Straw Hat king.
"Yeah at least once or twice every time she sees me." Luffy said nodding as if it were a common thing and the side crew just felt their jaws drop a little lower, the two fishmen bowing to Luffy while Sanji looked jealous as hell. Robin and Nami were just laughing to themselves.
"What the fuck?" Ela asked in disbelief and Luffy just shrugged.
"Yeah she's kind of weird. She was nice but weird." Luffy said and Amande was putting this aside for the moment to focus on something else.
"Wait…you knew the Warlord Kuma was sending everyone away?" Amande asked making Luffy nod.
"Yeah he explained it after I nearly killed him for sending you and the kids flying. Apparently he worked for the Revolutionary Army and my dad so he sent everyone but Brancha's group away to different islands so that they can train. Unfortunately the government made him into a robot after the fact but I put him out of commission during the War so he doesn't have to suffer anymore. That and as a little bit of revenge for not sending me with you and the kids." Luffy said and Amande rubbed her temples.
"I think I need a nap. All of this is giving me a headache." Amande said while Nami got the ship ready to set sail, their destination Fishman Island.
"Do you want me to join you or…?" Luffy asked honestly torn on whether to join her for the 'nap' or not. After all he did want to spend time with his kids.
"No. You spend time with the children. You can join me tonight." Amande said and the rest of the crew sighed slightly but were mostly fondly amused at her words.
"Not even back together for a day and they're already getting ready for the next kid." Nami said sighing and making Brook laugh.
"Most likely multiple kids. She's from a set of quadruplets and her family is known for having multiple children…" Chopper trailed off as Jordan toddled over to him to play with the reindeer doctor, who was beaming at the fact that the kids weren't scared of him.
"Fufufufufu. Maybe she plans on having so many that her uterus breaks from the strain of it all?" Robin asked as she kept tickling Linlin who seemed to have claimed Robin as her favorite Aunty and was trying to stop squealing in laughter long enough to tickle Robin back.
"Thank you for that lovely mental image." Amande drawled sarcastically to the archaeologist who merely chuckled again.
"My pleasure."
