-Time Skip-1 Year Later-

I start whistling as I walk towards Shakki's Rip Off Bar passing through the throngs of fallen slave traders who I knocked senseless only a couple seconds ago. I push open the door and spot Shakki behind the bar cleaning a glass.

"Sorry we aren't open at the moment." Shakki says and I walk over to the bar.

"I'm looking for Rayleigh." I say and this causes Shakki's eyebrows to raise.

"Why would you be looking for him?" Shakki asks setting the glass down.

"I want to ask a favor from him." I say.

"What favor would that be?" Rayleigh asks standing up from behind the bar and I blink in surprise.

"Were you just sitting on the ground behind there?" I ask and Rayleigh nods.

"What's the favor you want?" Rayleigh says crossing his arms and looking me over.

"I want you to train me." I say and Rayleigh raises an eyebrow at that.

"Why do you want an old man like me to train you?" Rayleigh asks.

"You were the Vice-Captain of the Pirate King's Crew. That's why I want you to train me."

"Why do you need to be trained? You appear strong enough as is Nefarious Belle." Shakki asks.

"The winds tell me that there's a war coming and I need to be ready for that." I say and Rayleigh raises an eyebrow at that.

"Cryptic, aren't you?" Rayleigh asks and I just smile at him.

"That's all you're getting from me. I'll give you enough money to buy booze year-round." I say and Rayleigh perks up at that.

"Okay you've got a deal." Rayleigh says and we shake hands just as the door is opened again.

"Shakki I need booze." Shanks says walking into the bar and plopping down at one of the stools. A couple others from the crew follow in after taking either stools or sitting at a table. "Hey Rayleigh." Shanks says just noticing his old vice-captain.

"What's making you drink so early today?" Rayleigh asks and Shanks sighs.

"That kid is making me worry too much." Shanks says.

"What kid?" Rayleigh asks.

"Yeah what kid and shouldn't Benn be the one to drink his worry away? He has you for a captain so he probably worries more than you do." I say and Shanks glares at me before realizing who I am.

"That kid." Shanks says pointing at me before he puts me in a choke hold.

"Shanks let go." I say grabbing his arm to try and pull it away from my neck.

"Nope this is for making me worry." He says and I stick my tongue out at him.

"Why are you worrying so much about me? Luffy's going to be a lot worse when he sets sail." I say and Shanks groans.

"Don't remind me." He says and I punch him in the side making him finally release his hold on me.

"Luffy will change the tides though. He's the only one who's crazy enough to do the things he'll do." I say laughing and Shanks shakes his head.

"I don't know how you know a lot of things or how you're so certain about things that you believe will happen in the future." Shanks says shaking his head. "You probably know things about people in this room that I don't."

"You mean like how you and Buggy were cabin boys on Roger's ship? Or how Rayleigh was Vice-Captain on that ship? Or how Rayleigh and Shakki are married? How Yassop's kid is going to become a pirate as well eventually? How you'll be told about Luffy starting his journey by Mihawk who runs into him in the East Blue and he takes an interest in Luffy's swordsman? Or how the hat you gave Luffy was given to you by Roger? Or how there are two people who the government would kill once their heritage is known? You mean like that stuff?" I ask and Shanks nods.

"Just like that." Shanks says. "Wait, you two are married?" Shanks asks looking at Shakki and Rayleigh who nod.

"Have been for a while." Rayleigh says and thewhole bar bursts out in sounds of disbelief.
