Luna's P.O.V
I was with the group enjoying ourselves as we travelled and I looked to Robin and saw that she was smiling, this wasn't one of her regular smiles...no this was one that said she was glad the man that saved her was alive even after all these years. The will of her island didn't die...not like it would have, not while she is alive her islands Will lives and burns deeply in her and that's a part of what makes Robin the woman she is today.
"Luna!" I looked to Brogy and Dorry as I jumped from the railing of our ship to theirs landing with ease smiling. "Shanks wasn't wrong, you truly have gotten stronger...and wiser by the look of things."
"Wiser? I'm not so sure about that. But I have definitely gotten stronger even after I left his ship to reunite with my crew here. Thank you for saving us back there; is everyone here alright?" Looking to the brothers and saw their fleet around their boat and ours is a protective manner.
"Of course, Luffy dealt with the enemy much of the time. What is that power that he uses? It's different from the last time we saw him." Dorry spoke curiously.
I looked to Luffy and giggled seeing him eating away and having fun with everyone. "To be truthful we only learnt of it ourselves on Egghead. We have a lot of stuff yet to learn, and we have more questions now then we did before we landed on Egghead." Thinking back to the fighting and played with my necklace and felt reassurance coming from Lucci which relaxed me. "But we also learnt when a devil fruit fully wakes up like Luffy's did then we see the true colours of that person, so even right now I have lots of thinking on a certain subject myself."
"Perhaps you do Luna, but what happens is up to you and that person. Just know that you have very loyal people ready to come to your defence in your fleet...yes Luffy is an emperor but the people in your fleet respect him. Don't tell your crew right now but one of your own declared war on Shanks while you were all in Wano." Brogy spoke seriously.
I frowned softly. "I think I heard something like that do you know who it was?"
"A Bart something...quite the character himself. He burnt some of the flags that marks Shanks territory. We actually asked Shanks if he was going to talk to you's but he said something that surprised us."
I smiled. "It's not yet time, when we meet Shanks it will be when Luffy is a respected pirate and we have brought him this far. I'll go all the way, I want to see Shanks again as well...to show him that his training wasn't wasted on me during the time I sailed with him." Touching Hell Dancer as I smiled confidently and giggled when Luffy bounded over and hugged me playfully giving me a drink and I snickered as myself and Zoro were usually two of the hardest people to get drunk...I took a little longer then Zoro.
I raised a brow seeing the alcohol and looked to group when Nami asked what it was and I took a small drink and coughed softly. "This can't be what I think it is."
One giant chuckled. "Absinthe, it's very strong alcohol."
"How do you know about this stuff Luna?" Nami asked curiously.
I grinned playfully. "Lots of people drank it on my island, but usually it was when we lost a member, claimed a victory, someone joined the ranks of assassins, and when a newbie completed their first solo mission by themselves. But sadly this is not my favourite alcohol, I love tequila much better."
The giant man laughed sitting up. "Hey captains! Luna drinks tequila!"
Dorry laughed and had someone bring out a bottle of tequila and Luna grinned taking the bottle and a glass. "Thank you." Going to sit where she could see everyone and relaxed as she poured her first shot and took her time to drink it and heard Lucci mentally chuckling. 'Yes Lucci?'
'Tequila? Really?' Lucci spoke mentally in amusement.
'Better then the absinthe they're all drinking, at least I won't be hallucinating later on like they will be.'
'No they most you'll have is a migraine and of course I'll feel it as well and hear the normal grumbling you do.' Lucci was teasing me and I playfully flipped him off in my mind as we were all drinking and I sighed relaxing.
Shank's P.O.V
A month prior Shanks had to go back to a nation where his flag had been burnt because of one of Luffy's followers called Bartolomeo. Said pirate was forced to kneel with his crew in front of Shanks and his crew. "You know I cannot look the other way or let this go unpunished, those that trust me for their protection would fall into dangers." He looked to one of his crew mates and the man stepped forward and kneeled in front of Bart.
"This is poison, bring this to Luffy by the end of the month and make sure he is given it." The man spoke and was shocked when Bartolomeo grabbed it with his mouth and drank it.
"This isn't Luffy's fault! We weren't given any orders to attack! I won't kill or harm Luffy cause I won't see Luna loose another family member! I'll take the punishment for Luffy-san!!" Bartolomeo didn't know it had been a trick to test his loyalty to Luffy.
Shanks nodded his head as they freed Bart and his crew and he walked to the railing once Bartolomeo and his crew were so far out but there was a gentle smile on his face.
"What's that smile for?" Ben asked with a small smile on his face having a good idea what it was about.
"It's good to know that they respect Luffy and Luna. They have some good friends and followers." Moving when Yasopp stepped forward with his gun in hand.
"They need all the people they can get on their side." Watching as Yasopp shot towards Bartolomeo's ship and smirked when the ship exploded a few miles away from the island and there was no confirming if there was any survivors.
Luna's P.O.V
Luna woke up a couple days later having one heck of a migraine and she head a commotion as Brook helped her up in a panic. "What's going on?"
"Nami! Luffy! And Thousand Sunny are gone Luna!" Usopp yelled in a panic and I felt all the blood drain from my face and I sent out a flair of my haki and frowned softly.
"Calm down!" Taking command and watched as my nakama calmed down and looked to me as I walked to Robin and Franky. "When was the last time that anyone saw them?"
"When we were drinking for sure, but who could sail the ship?" Franky asked worried.
"Maybe a giant fish ate it." Robin spoke and I shook my head smiling a little when Franky told her not to say that.
"Calm down we'll figure this out." I spoke calmly and getting my nakama's attention as they calmed and joined around us to talk and figure out what happened.
Elsewhere
Nami woke up groaning softly. "I must have drank to much." Shocked when she noticed she wasn't on the ships, No nakama, and dressed as a Viking.
