Tales from Elseworld Vol.1

Rejection

A/N:Shoutout to Victoria Horn for great reviews on my stories, much appreciated. I'm excited to bring this chapter to you all, enjoy.

The former navigator of the straw hats pirate crew strolled down the paved streets of the Goa Kingdom escorted by diplomatic guards. Some carried shopping bags filled with clothes while others expensive jewelry. She spent all morning shopping to her heart desired picking out the latest fashion trends. These were her typical days now, her adventures on the high seas were officially done, she put those days behind her considering them childish adventures.

Nami took a guard's hand being assisted into the carriage that awaited her presence. The missing straw hats created a noticeable void in her life. She sat in the empty carriage with a bored expression replaying the events that happened all those months earlier leading her to this moment.

At the climax of the war: Luffy called a truce with Blackbeard and Akainu to take down the true head of the World Government that the five elders bowed down to, Im Sama—the true greatest swordsman of the world.

Afterwards the three men broke the truce battling to the death in a winner take all to determine the future fate of the world. With fierce determination and will to keep his friends safe the straw hat captain outlasted the two titans weakening them to the point the Revolutionary Army could subdue and imprison them.

The great world war had ended; The tyranny of the World Government had no longer polluted the globe, the previous emperors with the exception of Red haired shanks were dead or imprisoned, and the nations' combined their resources to place the Revolutionary Army in place of the old regime. Due to his efforts during the war the current pirate king Monkey D. Luffy came to agreement with the government; he would remain on the side of good continuing to travel and assist nations at his own leisure. In exchange he and his crew would become exempt from the wanted list. He truly achieved his dream becoming the freest man alive. Being the honorable man that he was, Luffy helped his crew achieve the rest of their dreams in the following months. With the straw hats achieving their goals and being free to sail anywhere there was a peaceful bliss that filled the crew.

Luffy invited various allies to his ship over the passing months whenever they'd been in the nearby area. Nefatari Vivi, Shanks, Raleigh, Bartolommeo with his club, Shirahoshi, and finally Boa Hancock.

The straw hats sat around the main table on the grassy deck entertaining the snake empress with their tales from their fantastic adventures. Finally Luffy told of their amazing escape from the former yonko Big Mom's territory. Sanji started it but couldn't finish, the cook became too enthralled about serving the amazons his fine dined cuisines.

Everything went without a hitch until he mentioned a little too enthusiastically for the empress's liking how Nami saved his life more than a few times. Claiming that without her efforts he most certainly wouldn't have made it to become Pirate King, much less sail anywhere. 

"Yup that's my navigator she's really amazing huh?" Luffy asked rhetorically to the table scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

Nami couldn't help hide blush ducking her head for anyone to notice. She couldn't hide it from the two other women seated at the table. "Thank you Luffy, it was nothing I was just trying to be of use to you." She said humbly offering a warm smile to which he returned with his usual wide grin.

Hancock's eyes darted between the two, a hidden scowl forming on her lips. Her eyes narrowed at the navigator as she grabbed the empty pitcher from the table heading towards the kitchen.

"Sanji dear." Hancock called as he appeared next to her instantaneously with heart eyes and drool practically slobbering from his lips.

"Y-yes Hancock darling." He said with steam jetting out his nostrils.
