————————————————————–

After Brook managed to put Sanji’s soul back in, Sanji coughed up more blood and forced himself to speak.

“Who…is the…father!?”

“Sanji! Don’t ask! You will really die at this rate!”

Though Chopper said that, Nami didn’t really care so she still answered.

“It’s Lucas.”

“Gh-!?”

“Yoho! Sanji-kun’s soul escaped again!”

“…”

This time, not only Zoro but even Nami is staring at him with half-closed eyes.

Does he have to over-exaggerate each time!?

Meanwhile, Luffy and the others heard who the father is and they all smiled.

“I see…Lucas huh?”

“Speaking of which, Kaya told me that he had our close friends and relatives on his base.”

Usopp sighed as he remembered their friend. He has been chatting with Kaya since earlier and he had found out more about what Lucas had done in the time that they were separated before.

Kaya nodded.

“Un, We also picked up Doctor Kureha after I decided to join you guys. They need a doctor on the base after all.”

“Doctor”

Chopper remembered the crazy old woman who took care of him in the past.

Nami also nodded and added.

“Nojiko too…and even those guys from Baratie.”

Hearing this, Sanji stopped overreacting and just quietly laid on the ground.

Zoro spoke as well.

“Even sensei.”

“It seems Bakaberg and the rest from Water 7 are also under his protection too.”

After Franky said that, Nami looked back at Luffy who had remained silent all this time.

She picked up Luna and smiled.

“Back then, when the Pirate King Roger was executed, the government even went as far as to hunt down his unborn son…Luffy, Lucas believes that you will accomplish your dream…which is why he has gathered everyone related to us…when the time comes.”

Luffy remained silent for a while.

He walked over to Luna and patted her on the head. He looked at her with a smile and spoke as if the person he was looking at was Lucas.

“I know…and I promise…I will definitely be the Pirate King!”

Luna didn’t know what’s happening but she could feel that everyone’s sad so she gave them a cute smile.

“Don’t be sad! My daddy is still alive!”

Nami heard that and sighed.

Luna has never met Lucas, but for some reason, she keeps saying that her daddy is still alive. Nami is already helpless and didn’t know what to do.

Luffy was surprised for a moment but grinned soon after.

“Shishishi! That’s right! Lucas is still alive in our hearts!”

“Muuu, I didn’t mean it like that!”

“Hahaha! It’s fine Luna, look! Call me Big Bro Captain!”

Luffy didn’t want to upset the little girl so he quickly changed the subject but Luna just pouted.

“Uncle Captain!”

“Not uncle! Big Bro!”

“Uncle Captain!”

“I said call me Big Bro!”

“Uncle Captain!”

“…This damn brat!”

Nami quickly sent a fist at Luffy when she heard that.

“What are you doing being agitated instead!? Are you a kid!?”

“Gah-!?”

Everyone laughed at them and the heavy atmosphere earlier was gone.

Soon, they began to circle Luna and laughed as they chatted.

Robin smiled as she held the little Luna while thinking of various things.

Sanji was just about to recover when Robin gave him another blow to the heart.

“Luna is so cute. It’s a pity I didn’t get pregnant from that time with Lucas as well.”

“…”

Another silence filled the atmosphere.

Suddenly, a fountain of blood appeared on the side!

“Ah! Sanji!!!”

Zoro, Nami, and Robin looked at him with half-closed eyes once again and no longer bothered to pay attention.

Inwardly, Nami and Robin were thinking.

If he knows that Vivi may also be a part of that guy’s harem, who knows if he’ll really die from jealousy!

Nami and Robin looked at each other and giggled.

Luna didn’t know what was going on but she walked over to Sanji’s side and patted his head with upturned eyes.

“Are you ok…Curly Gramps?”

“Gah-!?”

C-C-C…CURLY.G-G-G…GRAMPS!?

Luffy heard it as well and started laughing his ass off.

Everyone also followed soon after.

“It must be that goatee of yours that made you gramps!”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Then, Usopp paused.

…Goatee? Wait, don’t I also have one!?

Thinking that, Usopp asked Luna hesitantly

“L-Luna-chan…how about me? Can you call me big bro Usopp?”

“Okay, Long Nose Gramps!”

“Gah-!?”

Following Sanji, Usopp collapsed to the ground as well while everyone laughed.

Soon, Luna had finished naming the crew.

Luffy, Uncle Captain.

Usopp, Long Nose Gramps.

Sanji, Curly Gramps.

Zoro, Uncle Green.

Brook, Uncle Dead.

Franky, Uncle Robot.

Chopper, Choppie.

Robin, Big Sis Robin.

Kaya, Big Sis Kaya.

Hanc.o.c.k, Aunty Snake.

Nami, Mommy.

Sunny, Lion-chan.

Merry, Sheep-chan.

Out of everyone, the only ones who had no reaction were Zoro, Franky, Robin, Kaya, and of course, Nami.

As for the rest

“I’m still young…why am I uncle”

“…I wanna shave”

“Curly gramps…curly gramps…curly gramps”

“Luna-chan…I may be all bones…but I’m not dead. Yohohoho.”

“Choppie…Uuuu…I-I’m a man too!”

“Ku-!? A-auntya kid is calling me…aunty!”

“…”

Nami pulled her daughter away from the group, to wait for them to calm down.

She carried Luna to the side and looked at the ocean outside the bubble.

Seeing the endless water around them only made her be reminded of Lucas.

Luna felt the hand holding her tighten so she looked up at Nami.

“Don’t worry mommy! Daddy is still alive!”

Nami smiled and patted on her head.

After some time, everyone calmed down and began to play with Luna.

As time passed, they slowly descended further down the ocean.

Once everyone had more or less settled in, Franky told the crew about Kuma who had stood guard in front of their ship for the past 2 years.

Everyone was surprised to hear it but weren’t too surprised. After all, they had already known that Lucas somehow knew Kuma would be helping them to escape the situation back then.

They just didn’t think that Kuma would let himself be hurt to such an extent just to protect their ship.

What was even more saddening was the fact that despite being the savior of their crew, Kuma is now no more than a heartless machine.

Meanwhile, as the ship continued to descend, another ship was following them as well.

It was none other than the ship of Wet-Haired Caribou.

Luna was busy looking at the fishes outside their bubble when her nose suddenly felt itchy.

“Chu-!”

Nami saw Luna sneezed so she came over and passed a handkerchief.

“Are you okay? Did you catch a cold?”

“Nnn, it’s just a sneeze.”

“Alright, but that’s enough playing. Come on, it’s time to eat.”

“But mommy, I want to look at the fish more!”

“No buts. You can look at them later. Later, we will go to a place where there are people with fish tails!”

“Waa!”

Luna’s eyes sparkled and became even more excited.

Nami smiled as she held her hand and led her to eat dinner.

As they left, no one noticed a small movement in the ocean.

The current suddenly changed direction outside of the ship and like pieces of dominoes, the current grew bigger and bigger until it reached another ship that was following them.

Over at Caribou’s ship, a large sea cow was pulling on the ship and suddenly felt chills down its spine.

Without a word…it suddenly turned towards another direction and fled!

“W-what’s the deal with this sea cow!?”

“Get back there dammit! We’re going to crush those Strawhat!”

“MOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!”

Despite Caribou and his men scolding it, the sea cow ignored them and simply ran away!

At this moment, in the area where they were from, a sudden whirlpool had formed which sucked everything in its path and destroyed it!

A rather large sea monster happened to have been passing by when it happened. The next moment…it was minced into countless pieces!

Back on the Sunny.

Nami looked behind and tilted her head.

“What a weird current”

Still, it did not affect them at all so there was no use worrying about it. At most, she would be more vigilant now.

Time passed, they had reached a gigantic undersea waterfall.

However, before they could pass through it…a huge figure was blocking their path.

“AAAHHHHHHH!!!”

“IT’S THE KRAKEN!!!!!”

Seeing the enormous size of the kraken, everyone paled in fright!

Well, except for a few of them.

Luffy grinned seeing the kraken.

“I’ve just had a great idea! Let’s make that thing our pet!”

“Mommy! Mommy! Can we please keep it!?”

Luna’s eyes sparkled as well when she saw the huge kraken which made Nami sweat.

Before they could do anything, the kraken had already started to stretch its tentacles over to them!

Zoro held his sword and prepared to slash when a little figure stepped forward with her little arm stretched out.

“Stop!”

“!?”

Luna pouted while the rest were looking at her dumbfoundedly.

However…the kraken did indeed stop!

The kraken looked at the little girl curiously but did not make any attempt to attack anymore.

Luna placed both her hands on her hip and shouted.

“Your name is now Takoyaki!”

“…”

Ta…Takoyaki!?

Is that really a name for an octopus!? Or rather, did she just give the kraken a name!?

Everyone looked back at the kraken only to find it smiling with a happy expression.

“…”

She really tamed it!? Just like that!?

Luffy was stunned for a few seconds then started to laugh.

“Shishishi! Nice going, Luna!”

“…This girl…in the end, just how powerful”

Nami sighed seeing the scene in front of her.

Actually, she already knew that her daughter Luna had some sort of unique power.

It didn’t appear to be a devil fruit as she never saw her eat one and she is also fine in seawater.

The only thing she can think of was that this was because she is that man’s child…Lucas. The man from another world with amazing powers.

When Luna was a baby, the skies would be filled with unexplained thunder and lightning when she cries.

A stormy day would clear when she laughs.

One day, when she tripped trying to walk and bled, the ground trembled as if a powerful earthquake had occurred! Maybe it can be said to be a coincidence if there were on a normal island…but they were on a sky island!

How can an island that floats in the sky have an earthquake!?

There was also another time when Luna had a nightmare. The moon suddenly turned red and caused everyone to panic!

In fact, the island below them which they only happened to pass by was suddenly engulfed in chaos!

Fires started without any signs and burned the houses. The earth shook and the waves roared.

In a single night, the island was reduced to nothing!

Since then, Nami would be by Luna’s side, embracing her as she sleeps so as to comfort her and reduce any chance of her having a nightmare

This was why Nami felt that it was better for her to bring Luna rather than leaving her on the sky island.

As for staying behind herself…though that did cross her mind, she felt like Lucas’ death would mean nothing if she gave up her dream now.

Nami sighed again and shook her head.

While everyone felt surprised by what just happened, they still celebrated the fact that their lives were no longer in danger at the moment.

Nami didn’t dare tell everyone about Luna’s abilities just yet as she felt this isn’t a good time.

With the kraken, now known as Takoyaki, they were able to have a smoother ride to Fishman Island.

After passing the undersea waterfall, they came across some undersea volcanoes which were about to erupt.

They also encountered Vander Decken’s ship on the way but as they were both too busy running away from a volcano explosion, the two sides weren’t able to fight just yet.

Soon after fleeing from the volcano, they finally arrived at their destination.

“This is…Fishman Island!”

But before they could enjoy the view, several sea monsters appeared and blocked their path.

On top of them were the New Fishman Pirates who wanted to recruit Luffy to join them.

Luna saw the sea monsters and looked back at Nami.

“Mommy! I want!”

“…”

Nami can only sigh and nod weakly.

The New Fishman Pirates tried to order the sea monsters to attack but none of them budged and they only looked at each other hesitantly.

“What are you standing around for! I said attack! Do you want to face the wrath of Hody!?”

As soon as the sea monsters heard that name, their faces paled and no longer dared to ignore their orders!

Seeing the sea monsters trying to attack them, Luna became scared and a tear started to form at the corner of her eyes.

This time, it was Nami’s turn to become pale!

Not only because she was worried about her daughter’s safety…but also because of what disaster might happen if Luna cries!

“L-Luna!”

“Uuu”

“!!!”

Before she could cry, an invisible force suddenly swept the entire area!

The only ones who could feel it was Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.

They all looked up and saw a shark fishman in full armor.

The next moment, the sea monsters who were about to attack suddenly fell to the seabed with their eyes rolled back and foams on their mouth!

“Emperor’s Haki!”

“Who…is that!?”

The armored shark fishman slowly descended and turned to face the New Fishman Pirates which were purposely not targeted with the Emperor’s Haki.

He lifted his hand on his helmet and removed it, revealing a white-haired man.

The New Fishman Pirates felt his murderous glare. They all shivered and unable to move in fright!

On the other hand, the Strawhats were also unable to move but not in fright…no.

They were surprised…shocked…confused…disbelief…happy…excited…joyfulrelieved!

The armored shark…no, the white-haired man gritted his teeth and spoke to the New Fishman Pirates in a cold voice.

“Which one of you bastards made my daughter cry!?”
