Moby Dick, a couple days away from Sabaody:

"Two years already… I can't wait to see them again!" Luffy said to himself on the figurehead of the Moby Dick. As Luffy looked out over the ocean he reflected over the past two years and at the same time, he sensed two familiar people walk towards him.

"Can't you just join Pops," Ace whined as he pulled Luffy into himself in a tight hug. Luffy smiled and gave him an enthusiastic 'Nope'.

"You tried Ace… now Luffy come give your brother a hug before you go." Sabo said from behind the two.

"Okay!" Luffy said getting out of Ace's hold and jumping onto Sabo, "Luffy! I meant a regular hug, not a tackle!" Sabo yelled trying and failing to keep both of them upright.

"Shishishishi! Sorry, sorry!" Luffy said from on top of Sabo, "But seriously I can't wait to see my Nakama again!" Luffy said with a D-shaped grin and standing up looking at the sky, "I will be the… PIRATE KING!" Luffy yelled and everyone around him smiled at the proclamation.

"So my son, do you want us to drop you off directly at the island or will you go on by yourself from here?" Whitebeard said and Luffy's brothers groaned.

"I'm going to head the rest of the way myself Pops," Luffy said with a grin and then moved to the railing, "Luffy we'll be waiting for you on the other side. Meet us in the new world!" Ace and Sabo yelled as Luffy jumped off the railing.

The pirates would've panicked because he has a devil fruit but they've seen him do it before so they acted indifferent as Luffy ran through the air. "I wonder if they're all there?" Luffy wondered and sped up more excited than ever to see his crew.

Shakky's Rip-off Bar:

"Hey, Shakky toss me another bottle would ya," a familiar green-haired swordsman asked and Shakky was about to oblige but Sanji interrupted her.

"Don't speak to a lady like that, Moss head!" Sanji yelled in an outrage.

Shakky chuckled as the two Straw-Hats fought each other, "They sure are an interesting bunch, aren't they." Rayleigh said. The whole time he had just been relaxing letting some entertainment come from the Straw-Hats. "Definitely, here comes Nami," Shakky said sitting down to watch.

"Why are you two fighting again?" Nami asked dangerously appearing right behind Zoro and Sanji with her fists raised ready to strike.

"Sorry, Nami-Swan!/ you witch." Zoro and Sanji said at once and when Nami saw that they weren't going to fight she backed off and looked around. "Where's Robin, Franky, and brook." She asked Usopp and Chopper who were with her while she was shopping.

Usopp and Chopper looked worried so Nami turned back around to see Sanji laying on the ground with hearts replacing his eyes and a trail of blood streaming from his nose. " He's such an idiot," Nami said exasperated and Zoro murmured an agreement and Sanji snapped out of it.

"What was that Moss-head!" Sanji roared and Zoro smirked, "You heard me swirly brows." Zoro said and they both burst into flames getting ready to fight.

"As I was saying Where's the rest of the crew?" Nami asked successfully shutting Zoro and Sanji up.

"Robin and Franky are at the sunny getting everything ready to go and Brook is having a concert," Usopp said and Nami nodded

"How long until Luffy gets here?" Zoro asked before getting up and stretching. "He should be here today or tomorrow," Rayleigh said and Zoro walked out.

"Zoro, where are you going!? You'll get lost!" Usopp yelled but Zoro ignored him walking on while murmuring about fishing.

"I'm going too. I have to buy the groceries for the trip." Sanji said and left before anyone could talk.

Over the two years the crew all looked somewhat different, Zoro has a new scar running over his left eye and he now has a lot more muscle. His hair is also a bit shaggier so he slicked it back a little bit. Zoro now wears a long, open dark-green coat closed on his waist and is held by a red sash, in which his three swords are now tucked into, and his black bandana is tied around his left forearm. His coat exposes his bare chest, revealing his green haramaki underneath the coat.

Nami's hair has grown rather long, reaching down to her lower back. Her breasts have also grown larger and rounder, but apart from this, her appearance has not changed much, save for the fact that both her body curves and hourglass figure have become more pronounced. Her outfit is a revealing green and white bikini halter top, tight low-rider jeans, orange high-heeled sandals, and a pair of pearl-like earrings that she constantly wears.

Usopp has become much more muscular than before and has grown his hair out. He has become "manlier" and is slightly taller than before. He was wearing a new pair of goggles around his neck and has some headphones or ear protectors on. He also now has a little goatee along with a new white sun cap he wears on his head. He also has a new pair of rolled-up yellow pants with red suspenders and a pair of boots.

Sanji now covers his right eye, shows his left eye, and has grown his hair just slightly longer. He also sports a dark goatee and stubble on his upper lip. He now wears a black double-breasted suit with golden buttons and a yellow dress shirt together with a brown tie.

Robin's hair has grown longer and she now wears a long salmon sari-like skirt with a partially-zipped navy blue leather vest with a V-neck line and a periwinkle rose printed on the left breast near the shoulder that exposed her stomach, sunglasses, pink high heeled pumps, and a pink backpack.

Over the two years, he was on his own, Franky used Vegapunk's blueprints to drastically reconfigure his body, repairing the damage he accidentally caused to himself and replacing some old functions his body used to have with better and more powerful implements. His shoulders, torso, and arms are also much bigger than before, and with studded hands that look almost robotic in appearance.

Brook has now changed to more colorful and high-end clothes, as though to represent a rock star. He has heart-shaped sunglasses, a yellow feather boa, a top hat with a giant crown on the brim and orange-red trousers with a floral design. Despite being a skeleton, he grew to 9'1".

Chopper now wears a blue cap that has a ring of dots around the circle, while the cap has buckles hanging from it. He wears this over his old pink hat. He also wears a white and yellow vertical-striped tank top, and an orange pair of shorts.

And finally, Luffy now has a scar courtesy of Akainu and his attempted escape from Impel Down, and he wears an open, long-sleeved red cardigan with four buttons, with a yellow sash tied around his waist. He has grown slightly taller and is shown to be significantly more muscular due to his training. Right now he is wearing a cloak to not get recognized.

With Luffy:

"Well, now I feel bad… I'm the last one here." Luffy murmured to himself as he stepped onto the island. Luffy took in his surroundings and started walking down a path.

As he was walking down the path he noticed some damage and smirked, 'is that damage from lightning? And what is that plant?' Luffy thought and continued walking until he found a crowd.

"Hey you, what's going on here?" Luffy asked a random guy after he moved his straw hat so that it was hanging on his back. "Huh? Oh that Bastard Straw-Hat Luffy just shot a long-nosed man and a girl with red hair." the man said and Luffy ran forward panicking.

"Why can't I sense them!?" Luffy ran into the middle of the group and observed the fake. He saw the gun in his hands and the two on the ground, he let out a relieved sigh when he saw that it wasn't Usopp or Nami.

"Who're you." Fake Luffy said in disgust while he looked at Luffy. Finally, he raised his gun and shot the bullet straight for Luffy's head. Luffy moved his head slightly to the side letting the bullet pass and then he sent a concentrated blast of haki towards the fake.

He fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, "Well that wasn't much fun." Luffy said and continued on with an amused face. "I wonder if there are any other fakes." Luffy wondered lost in his thoughts so he didn't know where he was going.

"Hey who are you? You kinda look like that…" A man said but Luffy covered his mouth before he could say anything else.

"Shhhhhh, Do you have any cloaks I can get," Luffy said nodding at his plan.

"Uh y-yeah sure you can have this one f-free of c-charge." the man said holding out a perfectly black cloak. Luffy smiled his D-shaped grin and took it out of his hand and tried it on.

"Hmmm, just my fit! Thanks, old man!" Luffy said and ran away while waving back at the old man. "Where am I?" Luffy said wandering around and was about to use his Haki when he saw something interesting.

"Isn't that the fake from earlier? There's a fake for all of them. I gotta go see this." Luffy said now heading over there.

"It's the guy who knocked me out! Get him and kill him!" the fake Luffy said and a whole group of people which looked like pirates attacked Luffy.

Luffy just swerved slightly so that he was out of the attacks range. He then made a clone and used Shave to get out of the group and up to where the fake Straw-Hats were.

"Soooo what are you guys planning?" Luffy said from behind the fake crew, "AHHHHH!" The crew screamed in fear.

"Stop screaming you imbeciles and kill-" Fake Luffy started but was cut off by a marine, "Straw Hat… Luffy. So you and your crew aren't dead after all. It's time for a demon like you to get back to prison. PX-7!" the Marine said and a robot that looked a lot like Kuma stepped forward along with two more.

"Analyzing complete, Pirate Demaro Black 26 million Berri." the PX-7 said and then started analyzing all the pirates until he came across Luffy. "Monkey D. Luffy, 500 million Berri, Attacking now," PX-7 said and shot forward shooting yellow lasers out of his mouth.

Luffy stood there calmly while everyone around him fled for their lives, and dodged the lasers coming towards his head with haki. "If you want to hit me you are going to have to be faster than that," Luffy said with a big smirk on his face.

"Water-Water Bullet," Luffy murmured and with an accuracy never seen by him he shot the Kuma wannabes in the head with his attack. They exploded and Luffy proceeded to knock the remaining marines unconscious.

"The rest of you can just scram!" Luffy yelled as he used his hands in a 'shoo' motion. Once everyone was gone he started walking again until he came across someone familiar.

"Hey, Luffy! Long time no see!" Rayleigh could be seen standing a little bit away from Luffy. "I see that you've gotten stronger," He said once Luffy had caught up to him.

"I know! It's great!" Luffy said with a huge sunny grin, "now bring me to them?" Luffy said dramatically. Rayleigh just chuckled and nodded leading the way to the bar. "So is everyone is here already, right?" Luffy said and Rayleigh nodded.

"So what did you do on that old man's ship? I notice that you have more muscle now and your scar is looking nice." Rayleigh asked with a smirk.

"Oh you know I just sparred with pops and the commanders every day and made everything into tip-top shape," Luffy said with a thumbs up and a smirk.

"Oi Rayleigh! Who's that?" Zoro and Sanji yelled as they ran. Luffy's grin widened impossibly wide and he disappeared and reappeared behind the two and followed silently hiding his presence from them.

"Huh? I swear there was someone there." Sanji said with an eyebrow arched in confusion.

"For once I agree with dart brow over there," Zoro said and was about to say something else when he felt a weight on his back. "What the-" he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Hey, guys! It's been a while!" Luffy yelled out finally reunited with some of his Nakama. "Shishishishi! You should've seen your reactions," he said giggling a little bit after. And after Luffy said that it sunk in that Luffy was back.

"When'd you get here, Luffy!?" Sanji and Zoro yelled in unison after getting over their shock. The two looked at each other before shaking their head and speeding up. "I'm sure the others will want to see you as soon as possible," Sanji said and Luffy grinned in excitement.

After they got to the bar Luffy jumped off of Zoro's back and greeted all of his nakama. "Phew, I can finally take that heavy thing off," Luffy said and took his cloak off to reveal his scar to the world.

Upon seeing everyone staring at the scar he marched over to the fridge and devoured any food he could find. "So are you guys ready to set sail?" Luffy asked expertly while his mouth was filled with food.
