The next morning, Luffy said farewell and teleported both Mihawk and Rayleigh back and told his crew to prepare for resume their journey.

Everyone nodded and started preparing for their new adventure. After a while everyone boarded the ship.

" So everyone are you ready? " asked Luffy while standing on the figurehead.

" Yesss!!!!!! " Everyone shouted.

Luffy teleported the Sea Empress back to the water surface and started their journey officially.

Soon they reached the Reverse Mountain and seeing the water flowing upward, except Kaya, Reiju and Zoro everyone else were stunned, especially Yamato who seeks adventure the most.

After crossing the Reverse Mountain, the Devil Dragon Pirates finally made their debut in the Grandline.

...

One week later.

The journey to Whiskey peak took several grueling days. As it was the first time for everyone in the Grandline, the unpredictable weather threw even an expert like Nami off.

But thanks to Kaya, she was cured immediately and it saved Luffy's efforts to treat her.

As they continue nearing the island, they could hear people and see vague shadows through the fog. When their ship finally got out of the fog they could see a bunch of people cheering and welcoming them with open arms to Whiskey Peak.

Seeing all this Luffy grinned while Nami and rest just looked confused, as an island welcoming pirates was definitely a odd thing for any sane person.

They reached up to the dock and disembarked from their ship except Luffy. After landing they were welcomed by a tall man with a hairstyle like an American judge. He introduced himself, " Welcome to Whiskey peak, the island of banquet and music. You all don't have to worry, I'm Igarappoi the mayor of this town. So i invite you to a grand banquet. "

" How much time does it require to record the coordinates on this island. " Nami ignored the invitation and asked him while showing her log pose.

Mayor just dodged the question and gestured the building and said, " Forget about those matters just enjoy the banquet tonight. " Then he faced the crowds, " Everyone prepare the banquet let's enjoy tonight to our heart's content. "

Just as the crowd was preparing to drag them for a banquet, Luffy jumped out of the ship. All of a sudden a man started trembling after seeing Luffy and he hurriedly approached the Mayor.

" Mayor, we shouldn't mess with this crew because.... they are the Devil Dragon Pirates and the man with long hair is their captain Dragon King Luffy. " He whispered. As a result Mayor felt like a thunderbolt struck him.

He gulped down his saliva and asked, " Ar..Are you sure? " That man hurriedly gave him one of the bounty posters. Mayor immediately started sweating and told the man to warn everyone to forget about robbing them. The man nodded and left.

But Luffy and the rest heard the conversation clearly through their haki.

" What should we do? " asked Zoro.

Luffy smiled, " Of course, we will enjoy the banquet but we should also teach them a lesson. " Then he gestured at Nami, " Thief san, go rob their treasure. " Nami punched him on his head instantly.

" Why did you punch me, Nami! " he asked but Nami huffed.

"Just to remind you that i am not a thief, but a talented Navigator. " she shouted with shark teeth.

" Whatever...You punch like a girl! " Luffy mocked her.

" I AM A GIRL! " she shouted and proceeded to punch him, but Reiju interrupted them, " Sorry to stop your bonding, but we have to decide what to do next. "

Nami glared at her where as Luffy faked a cough, " Okay everyone relax. Let's enjoy the banquet. "

Then the crew started walking towards the building, where the banquet was prepared. But the crowd lost their previous enthusiasm.

........

Nonohana, Arabasta Kingdom:-

After docking their ship, Luffy left everyone and directly rushed to the town. There was only one thing going through his head and that was to find Ace.

He walked through the streets and looked around, observing the different buildings. Altrough he wasn't that hungry he still wanted to find the restaurant.

Then he heard a very familiar voice and stopped in his track.

" … Even in this place, your vigilance against Pirates is still as high as ever, Smoker-san! " a female voice told.

" Che.... " Another voice said. " These are wannabee pirates, not real ones, Tashigi. "

Luffy tried to walk away, but it was too late as the owner of the second voice spotted him.

" Monkey D. Luffy...." Smoker shouted. He walked towards Luffy, who stopped in his tracks.

" Why are you here, Monkey D. Luffy? " the captain asked him. Luffy sighed.

" To beat the crap out of Crocodile. " Luffy told him. He knew telling the truth to Smoker would not ruin anything and also since he was one of the most decent marines Luffy knew.

" Crocodile? " Smoker asked with wide-eyes. Luffy sighed and nodded. " Why? " Smoker asked in a confused face.

" Crocodile is the reason this war in Arabasta is happening, Smokey. " Luffy told him. " Now can I go, Smokey? "

" Yes, go away..." Then Smoker started walking away. Luffy shouted in an amused voice, " Hey Smokey, where are you going? Don't you want to capture me? "

Smokey didn't stop and said, " You can even beat an Admiral, so trying to catch you is nothing but a fool's dream. So i won't waste my time in these futile efforts. " Seeing the out of script behaviour of Smoker Luffy was surprised but it was within his expectations so he also left the place.

He soon reached a restaurant which was currently very crowded. He walked to the crowd and asked a nearby man.

" Well, a man seems to have died while eating. He probably ate a desert berry. " the man answered.

Luffy thanked the man and pushed himself past the crowd. Finally he arrived in the front. He smiled when he remembered this funny scene.

On the chair in front of him with his back turned sat none other than Portgas D. Ace, with his Whitebeard Pirates tattoo and his face in his food.

He walked up to the man, ignoring the irritating protests of the onlookers and to the shock of everyone punched him on the head.

" Why are you punching a dead guy? " someone yelled in outrage. Luffy gained a twitch above his eyebrow. Then to everyone's horror the 'dead guy' lifted his head and turned around.

" HE WOKE UP?! " everyone yelled at once. Luffy gained another twitch. Ace glared at him for a moment, but then his expression eased somewhat as he realized who he was.

" Lu? " Ace asked.

" Ace, stop falling asleep in your food! " Luffy told him in an irritated voice.

" HE FELL ASLEEP?! " everyone yelled again as that was the last straw.

" GET LOST, ANNOYING JERKS! " Luffy yelled. They fell on their butts and scrambled out of the restaurant. Ace blinked a few times.

' Is that really Luffy?! ' he asked himself. Then the said man walked up to the counter and sat down. He poked the man in charge a few times.

" Don't just stand their and give me the best food in your restaurant. " he yelled at him. The man bowed and complied. Ace smiled his brother's behaviour.

" Lu, is that really you? " Ace asked. Luffy's eye twitched a little.

" Of course I am. Who do I look like? Or did you forget about your little brother!! " he asked him.

Ace smiled, " Oh finally i can meet you. When I heard the news about your fight against Kizaru, i was really surprised. " He said while looking at Luffy.

" Listen Luffy, would you join the Whitebeard Pirates? Your nakama too, of course." Ace then asked suddenly. He went on, " Pops told me to invite you, when he heard you are my brother. So are you interested? " Ace continued, " Whitebeard is the greatest pirate I have known. I want to make him the Pirate King. "

" No. That's unless he puts me in charge. " Luffy replied and Ace laughed hearing his response.

" Come on, Luffy, at least think about it! " he asked again.

" No, Ace. " Luffy answered with a tone of finality. " My dream is to be the Pirate King not the subordinate of Pirate King. So sorry to disappoint you. "

Ace sighed. " But I would like to talk to him. To thank him for taking you in. " Luffy continued,

" You've found your place, Ace. I need to thank him for that. " Luffy told him.

" If you promise me you won't be a jerk, then i'll give you the Den Den Mushi number. " Ace said after a moment of silence.

" Hmm ok. " Luffy said and continued eating.
