If I continue with my pacing like this, we might start book 2, aka the time skip a lot earlier than I initially thought...

After what seemed like an eternity, the Straw Hats, Rayleigh, Caimie, Hachi, and Pappagg were safe on Duval's bison as the man led them to Grove 13. (Y/n) drowned out the sounds of the others talking as she held on to Chopper.
"Thanks for helping us, Duval-san. This is really kind of you, especially when the marines could have seen you."The blonde turned to look at her and winked before answering.
"Anything for you, my sweet-"
"Eyes on the road!" Sanji and Nami interrupted Duval before he could go any further, which made him in return huff a little.
"You guys never let me finish."
Duval grumbled under his breath before looking at the road ahead of them."Aren't you two being a little mean? He didn't do anything this time." (Y/n) looked back at Sanji and Nami, who simultaneously shook their heads.
"We are being very reasonable."
Caimie, who was quiet for the most part, looked at (Y/n) as she recalled the shooting from earlier."Are you alright, (Y/n)-san? You aren't seriously injured, right?"
Smiling over at Caimie, she shook her head and chuckled a little.
"I am fine, no worries."
Rayleigh looked between the two before his attention got stolen by a bar that was further ahead of them.
"You can stop over there. We can walk the rest."
The old man's words caught the attention of the others, and they looked at the bar he was pointing at."Hey! We were at the bar earlier!" Luffy cheered as he recognized the place, which made Sanji look at Nami and Robin.
"You two were?"
"Yeah, we kind of stopped by to look for Rayleigh-san. But, he wasn't there at the time." Robin nodded while answering the question as the bull came to a stop."Alright then! Here you go!" Duval said as he came to a stop, allowing the pirates to hop off of his bison.
"Let's go up that bridge." Rayleigh said as he pointed in the direction of it.
"Alright, sure!" Chopper quickly ran after him, Hachi, Caimie, and Pappagg.
"I hope that they have some nice sake or beer." Zoro said while following right behind him."Weren't you already drinking, Zoro?" Brook asked in concern, but it was quickly dismissed by Usopp.
"He can drink like a true sailor. Don't worry about him."
"I really don't think there is anyone with a higher alcohol tolerance than Zoro." Franky added in, but Robin was the one to quickly disagree with the cyborg."Nami could easily beat him."
"Shakky, I am home!" Rayleigh called out as a black haired woman walked out of the bar.
"Already? You are home earlier than I expected. You really found him, Monkey-chan." Shakky said in amusement as Luffy laughed.
"Of course I did."(Y/n) meanwhile, looked at the woman in a stunned silence when she saw her as her face flushed in excitement.
'She is so beautiful! I wonder how Rayleigh-san knows her. Maybe he is her father or something.' She thought to herself.🦋🦋🦋🦋
When the crew had finally settled in their spots in the bar, Rayleigh introduced himself formally to the crew. The usual was said, his name, age, occupation, and the fact that he was the first mate of the Pirate King Roger himself. The crew, minus Robin and (Y/n) looked at him in shock as he said that last bit while Shakky gave them their drinks."What?! You were on board with the Pirate king?!" Luffy's face morphed into an excited one as (Y/n) pulled him back in his seat once she realized how close he had gotten to Rayleigh.
"Here you go."
"Ah? Thank you, Shakky-san." The girl smiled and took the orange juice to take a sip."You didn't tell them this, Hacchan?" The woman looked at the Fishman who sheepishly smiled.
"No.... All they wanted was some coating, anyway."
"It would have been nice if you had told us this!" Zoro and Sanji exclaimed at the same time.
"You guys didn't notice it earlier?" Robin raised an eyebrow at the crying and bewildered faces.
