"Yohoho! Yohohoho! Yohoho! Yohohoho! Gather up all of the crew it's time to ship out Bink's brew!" The entire crew except for Mihawk began singing the song as they sailed down the reverse mountain to meet with Crocus and Laboon again. The song kept Laboon from ramming the mountain or Red Line as they sailed down towards him.

"Yohohoho! Laboon! It's me! I'm back!" Brook yelled as loud as he could just as they reached the bottom of the mountain. There was a loud whale horn that was so loud it shook the ship and the crew of Amazons following them were stunned at the sight of the large mountain whale waiting for them.

"Look at you! You've grown so big!" Brook was cooing over Laboon and praising him to high heaven for waiting for them and growing to be so big and strong.

"Hey! You guys! Looks like it worked!" Vivi was standing on top of Laboon in her Baroque Works outfit and with quite a few changes, namely the pale chitin armor that was covering her body and the scorpion tail coming from her backside. The fact that she was able to turn her hands into pincers was also something different but not to the degree of the tail and chitin…and something not many knew about yet. Although when her abilities and changes were noted by the rest of the world it was likely that they'd all assume that the princess ate a Zoan type Devil Fruit, it was more likely than her being a demoness.

"Vivi! It's great to have our Scorpion Demoness back too!" Luffy called waving to the woman who had less enhancements than any of them.

"When did you come back? You didn't come back with the rest of us!" Robin called to the princess who grinned slightly.

"Rebecca, Viola, Shirahoshi and I learned where you guys went about a week after you left and decided to follow after you! You're the reasons we were still alive and besides! We're Nakama right?" Vivi asked and instantly the whole crew grinned and cheered. All four of the princesses were back too? That was awesome. After all while Vivi had less enhancements than the whole crew, Rebecca, Viola, and Shirahoshi had even less enhancements than Vivi with Shirahoshi having the least since she had been the last one caught before they broke out.

As soon as the four princess heard rumors about the time machine and that it was reported no one could find the Demon Crew….well they all met up at a prearranged spot and went to join their nakama, Shirahoshi was the last one to come back because she was asking the sea creatures nearby to destroy all of the time machines but one after they were all through. It wouldn't be good if someone like that zealot Akainu or the bastard Blackbeard came into the past after all. And the last one they hid in a spot where very few knew of, and even fewer could get to.

It's not like they had much to lose anymore after everything that had happened. After they became demons Vivi's country had been destroyed by Akainu with the Former Baroque Works members being how she managed to escape and make it to Shirahoshi on Fishman Island. Rebecca and Viola's island of Dressarosa was attacked by Kaido for daring to get rid of DonFlamingo and no longer pay tribute or work with the old drunk dragon. The Revolutionary Army and a sympathetic Yamato had helped smuggle them to Fishman Island as well where they had learned about what happened to Vivi's home and that all Demons or those who were suspected of having any ties at all to the Straw Hat crew were being systematically eliminated by either pirates or Marines.

Honestly Yamato and Carrot were supposed to come back too since they had become Demons after the crew escaped Kaido in the last time but Yamato had been 'reclaimed' by her father who had once more put the explosives on her to keep her from leaving the island, and the princesses hadn't heard anything from Carrot before they had left the previous future. That's why they had left one of the machines intact and hidden, in case Carrot and Yamato managed to get to it and come back to them as well.

"Damn right!" The rest of the crew cheered as Vivi jumped from the whale over to the Sunny, landing on the railing with ease and grinning at the crew while her partner, Mr. 9, merely gaped at her in disbelief.

He, Mr. 8, and Ms. Monday had been horrified when Vivi had dropped to the ground and screamed while being covered in sand as if she were being buried alive, and had been even more shocked and horrified when she had burst free of the sand with her new attachments and abilities…and had been confused when she took one look at the three of them and began crying.

But even now a week after she had transformed and explained things to Mr. 8 in private, Mr. 9 still couldn't get over how different his partner was…or how monstrously strong she was now.

"Hmph. Scorpion." Hancock said smirking slightly as she looked at Vivi from her own ship, making Vivi turn and grin at Hancock in return.

"Snake." Vivi said cheerfully while Mihawk was merely staring at the new arrival curiously. So Princess Vivi was a 'demon' as well and had come back from the future? Did that mean she needed to den like the others did? She didn't seem as tired and cranky as Hancock had though…although she did arrive later so perhaps not enough time has passed for her to reach that point.

However she named three others that were apparently demons as well and knew the crew, crediting the crew with the reason they were alive and Vivi at least openly calling them Nakama. That meant that there were at least three others that they would come across who would be demons, if not more depending on if they left the machines they came through operational, which would be the height of foolery if they left it where their enemies could get to.

So the crew had a literal princess as their Nakama? That was interesting, Mihawk could only wonder if the princess was going to travel with them as well and be a permanent addition to the crew on the ship.

"I see we also added a Hawk to our little menagerie. How did they get you to join Mihawk?" Vivi asked looking at Mihawk who started slightly out of his thoughts and looked at her for a few seconds.

"I lost a bet." He finally answered and Vivi only blinked once before she snorted and grinned.

"That could only ever happen to this bunch of misfits. Well welcome to the family then! Fair warning, Robin is the mom of the group, Franky is the dad, Jimbei is the uncle, and Brook is the grandpa. They take their roles seriously and heaven help anyone who goes after the baby of the family." Vivi said grinning at Chopper at the last bit and making the reindeer do his blushing happy dance.

"I'm not happy at all being called the baby and doted on you bastard." Despite his words Mihawk thought the reindeer looked very happy.

"Now that that's been said there's one last thing that you need to be told and I'm sure none of them have said it." Vivi said tossing the others a fond look and making Luffy give her an urchin grin.

"And that is?" Mihawk asked honestly curious about what they haven't told him yet.

"Welcome to the Straw Hat family. Leave your sanity at the last island."

Mihawk stared at the princess for a long moment before he snorted loudly and chuckled.

Oh yes he had a feeling he would never be bored again with this crew.
