Chapter 114
Title: Connections...
….
While that was happening the Strawhats hear Brook's story and Luffy decides to help him get his shadow back. This caused Brook to become extremely happy, and also as they arrived. Not all of the members landed on the ground as some stayed back, only Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Naruto, and Dead Cat did so. Naruto and Dead Cat were okay with staying back, while Nami and Chopper were affected by Usopp's Can't-get-on-this-island disease.
Naruto and Dead cat look at them with narrowed eyes, it is a stupid name, but the disease truly does exist and they do seem to display almost all of the symptoms of it.
…..
….
While that was happening, Mihawk tests the waters and sees that Jaw is no longer paying attention to him. Meaning that he can return back to traversing the Grand Line by himself.
As he is traversing in an unknown part of the Grand Line, he couldn't help but think. 'Damn, that was troublesome. I should be more careful from now on.'
*purupurupurupurupuru*
Suddenly his dendenmushi rings and he goes to pick it up, as he does so he can't help but be a little apprehensive.
*Catcha*
In the end, he opens the transponder snail and a voice comes from the other side. "Yo! Mihawk."
As soon as he hears the voice, he frowns. He knows who this voice belongs to. He doesn't answer or say anything. So… Jaw takes the rains of this and says. "Don't worry about that grudge from before. It's all water under the bridge, I just want your confirmation that you won't interfere in a battle in the future…. Give me your word."
Mihawk doesn't' know what Jaw is talking about as he is not as well informed as Jaw as to know about Ace being captured before the news even announces it. "Yes… I give you my word."
The transponder snail smiles at his. "Good… that is very good."
*Cacha*
….
At the same time in Wano, Queen was preparing some plagues and different chemical weapons when his transponder snail rings.
He opens it and says. "Hello, Queen here,"
As he says that, a certain voice comes from the other side. "Well hello there Queen."
"Hm?" Queen is confused at this. "Jaw? What do you want?"
"I can help you with a problem of yours." Offers Jaw, as he says that, Queen frowns.
"I have no problems." Says Queen as he goes back to doing his experiments. He is also wondering who the hell gave Jaw his personal number.
"Vinsmoke Judge…" As soon as that name is uttered by Jaw, Queen goes silent. The transponder snail's smile widens at that.
….
….
Many hours later and Jaw calls many people and putting certain things in place. The morse calls he makes the more things fall into place. This is Jaw's advantage, he might not be the strongest in a fair fight, but that doesn't matter as he can confidently say that he has the best connections amongst the Yonko.
Jaw finally after finishing all the calls smiles, he beat Kakashi and Kisame in fights. Though Kakashi was quite tricky even for him so the fight lasted longer. But not that long. He gets up from his chair and leaves the dedenmushi back there. With a smile on his face, he gets up and walks away. 'I wonder what Shanks will do.'
As he wonders that, the doors behind him are closed.
….

….
The next day, the news spreads of "Strawhat" Luffy defeated Gecko Moria, one of the seven warlords of the sea. This was quite the big news and Luffy's bounty rose accordingly since the World Government couldn't hide the event.
Luffy's bounty rose to 250,000,000 B… and some of his other crew got bounties to as Bartholomew Kuma was witness to this event and he wasn't able to eliminate the Strawhats. This all influenced the belief that the Shichibukai shouldn't be trusted, they know that someone like Kuma would be able to capture them. But he decided to do this instead and let them go.
"Whiskers" Naruto also got an increase in his bounty and it's now 100,000,000 B
"Pirate Hunter" Zoro also got a bounty of 50,000,000 B
"Black Leg" Sanji got a bounty of 40,000,000 B
This was all of the bounty increases and new bounties they got, since they all were together when they beat Gecko Moria, they were all given/increased bounties.
….
A few days after departing from the Florian Triangle and the ghost ship Thriller Bark, the Straw Hats continued to follow the Log Pose in the direction it had been pointing since it last set on Water 7 After making their way through bizarre weather and fighting massive Sea Kings, they finally arrive directly above the location indicated by the pose, Fishman Island. However, instead of finding the long-sought-after destination, the Strawhats encounter another obstacle: the Red Line, the continent that encircles the Prime Meridian of the world. Having originally entered the Grand Line Reverse Mountain on the other side of the Red Line, this means that the crew has traveled half-way around the Grand Line. With the continent blocking access into the New World, and therefore to both Luffy's dream of becoming Pirate King and new crewmate Brook's dream of getting back to Reverse Mountain and reuniting with Laboon.
Naruto looks at this and swallows hard, soon he will have to inevitably meet his father and so will his crew. He doesn't know how that will play at all. It could either end up good or really… REALLY BAD.
Still in the end they decide to brave through the obstacles and land Sunny in grove number 41…
….
Later they meet the strange man who will coat their ship he is Rayleigh and as they meet him. The old man look at Luffy's straw hat and says. "That strawhat suits you well."
Luffy smiles at that. "Yeah, I got it from Shanks."
Rayleigh then looks at Naruto and smiles again. "Say hello to your father for me."
Naruto is surprised by this and is about to say something, but Rayleigh interrupts him by saying. "Well, I will be coating your ship. I will be done in a couple of hours so you can explore the island till then. I will protect your ship so don't worry."
….
The Strawhats decide to take him on his offer, except Franky who stays back to look after the ship. Rayleigh is just an old man that they just met after all.
….
A couple of hours later and the Strawhats return back, they didn't meet anything dangerous. Due to Jaw killing World Nobels on this island, none of them has ever dared to set foot here ever since then. So no one caused trouble here, not even pirates as they know that this place was Jaw's territory… though unofficially and Jaw didn't send any troops here. But a lot of his businesses are here and only stupid pirates would try and do something here. Especially since the next destination would be… Fishman Island.
And so as the strawhats return back they see Franky and Rayleigh joking around about something and laughing.
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
I am putting an enormous amount of research into these chapters as there are some things that have changed by now. So I am not gonna have to try and force a plot point to happen, something like an Admiral appearing in Seabody… why would he do that?
Hope ya like it~
P.S: Just remember this, Vinsmoke and Queen have a connection, I just wanna prove to you the amount of research I did. This is before anything about them has been written in the manga.
