RT_Strawhat_Ninja: I didn't know what to title the chapter, so I made it a warning instead.

Also, of course Ace and Aoi are in disguise, duh. Can't have them walking around in plain sight. So here's their disguises:

3rd person POV

The man and woman walked through the crowded area, staying close together.

"Holy shit! No way!" The woman suddenly said. She darted over to a stand and was back at the man's side before he knew it.

"Really, babe?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow at her.

"Hey! Don't give me that look! I haven't had Gelato in four years! And the chances of it being Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup flavor? Un. Real." The woman said, digging her spoon in to the frozen confection.

"Everyone get out of the way! It's Straw Hat Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates!" A man said. A giant, tan man with scars all over him, wearing a tattered straw hat, a red vest that didn't quite seem to fit, and blue shorts with a pistol tucked in to them walked through with a short, disproportionate orange haired woman, an unhealthy looking blonde man, and what seemed like a Zoro cosplayer but.... Wrong..

"Luffy really let himself go." The man said.

"Ah! Shut up! Keep your head down and don't make eye contact." The woman said and forced the man's head down. The two kept their eyes down at the bar.

"A fake?" The man whispered. The woman nodded.

"Hey. You. Blue hair." The fake Luffy said. The woman looked up, spoon still in her mouth.

"Why don't you forget about that cowboy hat wearing loser and join me and my crew for some drinks, eh?" He asked. The woman with blue hair blinked.

"Thanks for the offer, but you'd just be waisting your time with me. I'm sure you'd much prefer one of the younger ladies, rather than an old woman like me." The woman said, the voice of an elder woman leaving her mouth. The fake Luffy sneered at her as she turned her head back to the counter.

"Nice acting." The man whispered.

"Thanks." She whispered back.

Aoi's POV

As soon as I finished my gelato, Ace and I left. I'm sorry, but any moment longer in there and I would have done to that fake Luffy what Kaiyo did to Akainu. Ace was also thankful to leave. He really didn't like the idea of someone impersonating his baby brother. Not that I blame him.

We walked to Grove 1 where the Thousand Sunny was docked. Finally, we found the ship.

"Here we are!" I said, staring up at the Sunny. Seeing Bartholomew Kuma sat infront of the ship meant we had beat everyone here.

"This isn't the Merry." Ace said.

"Oh yeah. You never really did know." I said.

"What?" Ace asked.

"The Merry was destroyed. It was improperly built and just started falling apart. So now they have this one. The Thousand Sunny." I said.

"Oh.. Well, it seems nice." Ace said. We slid past Kuma, unnoticed and climbed aboard, setting up our little plan for when everyone was on board.

3rd person POV

Time skip

"The down current should carry us down to the ocean floor." Nami said, only to be ignored, causing her to yell at them all.

"Oi, Luffy. Are you okay? Something seems to be bothering you." Zoro said. Luffy frowned.

"Aoi-chan and a friend of hers were supposed to join us." Luffy said. "I feel bad, leaving with out them."

"Well, Aoi-chan probably saw she wasn't going to make it in time and is probably waiting for us at the Fishman islands." Nami said. Robin have her a curious look.

"Who is-" Robin was cut off by a yell.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

"AAHH! PUT ME DOWN, ASSHOLE! DO I LOOK LIKE A SACK OF FUCKING POTATOES TO YOU?" Suddenly, the cabin door opened and a woman came rolling out on to deck, followed by a pissed off looking Franky. From the looks of it, Franky had thrown the woman.

"What the hell was that for?!" The woman yelled as she sat up, the ribbon she used to hold back her hair in a pony tail tumbling to the deck, sky blue hair draping down her shoulders.

"Wait, is that-?" Nami started and Luffy's face lit up.

"I found a stowaway." Franky said.

"I'm only a stowaway if I'm not supposed to be here!" The woman said.

"It is!" Nami gasped.

"AOI-CHAAAAN!" Luffy stretched his arm and grabbed his older sister and pulled her in to a hug.

"Luffy!" Aoi said and returned the hug.

"Oh? You know this woman, Luffy?" Robin asked. Luffy grinned.

"She's my big sister!" Luffy laughed. Aoi pulled herself from Luffy's hug. She looked up at the crew. Franky and Brook appeared shocked to discover Luffy had a sister and Robin only appeared mildly surprised. Everyone else seemed happy to see Aoi again.

"Oi! Zoro! Nami! Usopp! Sanji! Chopper! You're all looking well! And damn, Nami, I thought you were sexy before, but DAMN girl!" Aoi said with a laugh. Chopper jumped into Aoi's arms.

"Aoi-chan!" The tiny reindeer cheered.

"Chopper! Oh my god you got cuter!" Aoi nuzzled the furry creature lovingly.

"So, your Aoi-chan. It's nice to meet you, I'm-" Robin started.

"Nico Robin." Aoi cut off. Robin looked surprised. Aoi turned her attention to the males.

"And you two must be Franky and Brook. It's nice to finally meet you three." Aoi said as she set Chopper down.

"My name is Portgas D Aoi. I'm Luffy's older sister and the wife of Portgas D Ace. Former head doctor of the Whitebeard Pirtaes." Aoi said.

"So, then they truely have disbanded?" Robin asked.

"Under separation for now. I figured I should spend what time I can with Luffy, so I decided to join the crew." Aoi said. Luffy hugged Aoi again.

"My big sister is now nakama!" He cheered. Aoi grinned.

"Aaahh, sweet Aoi-chwan! You've oy grown more beautiful since I've last seen you!" Sanji squealed, going on a knee before Aoi again. Suddenly, a shovel made of water smacked Sanji in the face.

"Yeah, cool it before you get a nosebleed, ero-cook." Aoi said, holding the shovel. Zoro laughed.

"Oi, sorry for SUPER throwing you around earlier." Franky said.

"It's alright. Water under the bridge." Aoi said.

"Yohohohoho! May I see your panties?" Brook asked, met by a smack from Nami.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" She yelled. Aoi laughed.

"Sorry, Brook, only one man can see my panties." Aoi said. Robin and Zoro gave Aoi a sorrowful look.

"How have you been doing since..." Zoro trailed off. Aoi faced him a sweet smile.

"There's no need to worry about it." She said.

"Hey, Aoi-chan! Were you able to get the baby to Dadan?" Luffy asked.

"BABY?!" The entire crew (minus Nami) asked.

"Oh, yeah, I may have had a baby or two in the past two years. And yeah, they're safely with Dadan, Luffy. Thanks." Aoi said.

"You guys really couldn't tell she was pregnant when we met her back in Alabasta? I mean, come on, she didn't drink any alcohol, she gagged at fish, and she was barfing every morning. Not to mention the slight bump." Nami said. Aoi shrugged.

"Hey, Aoi... Where's your friend?" Luffy asked.

"Oh, right! You can come out now! No need to be shy!" Aoi called towards the open door. Footsteps were heard as a man exited the cabin. Luffy's heart pounded in his chest.

"No way..." Sanji breathed.

"It's been a while, Luffy." The man said.

"Y-you are..." (A/N: JOHN CENA! *plays music until brick hits me in the head.* ok, sorry XD)

"How..?" Nami asked.

"ACE!" Luffy cried and launched himself at in to Ace.

"Hey..." Ace said softly as he effortlessly caught Luffy. Luffy was sobbing with relief and disbelief.

"But how? The entire world saw Ace die." Zoro asked.

"That would be my doing." Aoi said. Once Luffy had calmed a bit, Aoi explained to the Strawhats what happened.

"That truely is amazing." Robin said.

"Huh, looks like you've got a bigger crew now, Luffy." Ace said. Luffy merely hugged Ace again, still unable to find his words. Ace smiled and hugged Luffy again.

"Hey... I promised I wouldn't die, right? You know I'd never break a promise to you." Ace said.

"I just... I just..." Luffy cried. Aoi wrapped her arms around Luffy and Ace, sandwiching the younger boy between the two. The crew around them smiled.

"We're by your side, Luffy. Till the end." Aoi said.

Luffy felt only joy and relief. His brother was alive and was now part of his crew. Aoi was right by his side, ready to fight and heal.

He had a family again.
