"So you gave up being a pirate huh? Good for you, Hatchan! Honesty is the way to go! Camie, is it? It's not often one sees a mermaid wandering above water, are you Hatchan's lover or something? " Shakky asked Camie while they were sitting on a couch in the bar.
"What!! No! We're just running a takoyaki stand! I fancy humans! Hehehe...." Camie laughed nervously and blushed a little while fiddling her fingers. She not so subtly looked at Luffy who was busy chatting away with his crew with Nami, Nojiko and Robin sitting on the same side as him.
Shakky giggled as she got up and approached the Straw Hats. "You're Monkey-chan? Right?" Shakky asked Luffy who grinned and nodded.
"Yeah! I'm also gonna be the Pirate King someday!" Luffy declared confidently. Shakky laughed.
" I'm gonna be rooting for you then! I have to ask, how much of the Enies Lobby incident is true?" Shakky asked while making everyone a cup of tea.
" Well, they left out the Buster Call part in the news. That's the only part that's false. But it'd be too boring to go through the exact details of it all." Luffy grumbled as Shakky set out a cup of tea on the table in front of him.
"Hahahaha! Not the type to boast? Impressive, though you have the same name as Garp of the Marines?" She asked him. Luffy nodded with a smile on his face.
" Yup, he's my gramps. " He answered her.
" Yeah, I thought as much. I was chased by him in the past you know." Shakky revealed while smiling at him.
"What!? You're a pirate?! You must be very strong then, getting chased by gramps and surviving to tell the tale!" Luffy shouted with a grin on his face.
" Hahahaha!! I was pretty strong. But now my strength is only a fragment of what it used to be. These days, I just find my fun in supporting rookies like you guys. And now I think I found someone that I wholeheartedly want to become the Pirate King."
" Who is it? " Luffy asked her. Shakky giggled and pointed at Luffy.
" You, Monkey-chan. From what I saw, you and your crew may have a good chance of reaching the top."
" I believe that knowledge is power, but I also believe that you have to be insane to be able to survive in the world we live in. You and your crew are lunatics, no offense. You do know what you guys did, right?" Shakky asked them. Luffy grinned broadly.
" Yup! And we don't regret any single one of them!" Luffy replied. Shakky nodded.
" So, you and Camie-chan go all this way so you could guide Monkey-chan and his dear friends to get their ship coated, right? " Shakky asked Hatchan. Nami raised her hand.
" Shakky-san. We're actually here just for sightseeing. We aren't ready for the New World yet. It was Luffy's orders. " Nami explained. Shakky nodded.
" I mentioned that knowledge and the lunatic mentality is important in this world. But knowing your limits is the most important out of all of them. Rayleigh knows the most about that rule, you should ask him. Although.... " Shakky smiled sadly at them.
" He's not here you see. But I think I might know where he is. Why don't you go search the bars and gambling houses around here? He's likely to be within Groves 1 to 29. He does like the Sabaody Park too....." Shakky suddenly had a tick mark on her face while she was smiling warmly at them.
" Do you know that he hasn't returned to me, his wife for half a year now? When you do find him, tell him that he's going to get what's coming in bed. " Shakky requested menacingly. Everyone gulped fearfully at her request.
'Holy shit. Rest in peace, Rayleigh. I've never met you before, but you seem like a nice guy. But now you're going to die by snu snu. ' Usopp mused in his mind. Luffy laughed loudly.
"Alright! We were going to go there anyway! And also, we saw in the newspaper that 10 Supernovas are here with us. Including us, that makes 17 Supernovas here in Sabaody Archipelago. Do you have any idea where they are right now? " Luffy asked the beautiful bartender. Shakky nodded and lit up a cigarette.
" Grove 24, every single one of them are all gathered there. But what will you do with this information, Monkey-chan? " Shakky asked curiously. Luffy chuckled darkly as he cracked his knuckles slowly.
" I'm gonna make them know whose boss." Luffy declared. Shakky giggled and nodded.
"I suppose they need a little humbling." Shakky muttered with an amused smile on her face.
"I'm mostly worried about your husband, Shakky-san. Will he be okay?" Robin asked her.
" My man? He'll be fine. He's 100 times stronger than all you boys and girls."
.
.
" See you soon, Shakky-san!! We're off to look for your husband! We'll make sure to tell him your request too!! " Luffy and the group with him waved Shakky goodbye. Shakky nodded and waved back with a gentle smile on her face.
Luffy and the others arrive at Sabaody Park and start to enjoy the amusements there. The couples enjoyed themselves. Usopp and Luffy received a lot of kisses from their respective partners.
But there was no sign of Rayleigh anywhere, they simply gave up on finding him there and searched for him somewhere else.
It has been two hours. And as promised, everyone gathered back at the Thousand Sunny after having lots of fun in Sabaody Archipelago.
"Alright, I just found out where all of the Supernovas ate gathering at. Let's go to Grove 24. Hatchan, Camie, Pappag, you guys stay here. Don't come with us, it's dangerous." Luffy requested. Hatchan nodded back.
" Roger that!" He replied to Luffy. Luffy grinned and looked back at his beloved crew
"Alright, everyone! Let's go to Grove 24 and show them who's the boss!! "
" Aye Aye Captain!!!! "
.
.
" And here we are. Grove 24." Kaya whispered. Luffy smirked.
" I sense a group of strong people gathering around a restaurant. That must be them, but one of the 'voices' is familiar. Huh, wonder who that could be?" Luffy hummed while wondering about this familiar 'voice'.
The Straw Hats started following their captain to the restaurant he mentioned. The civilians watched them with fear in their eyes.
"O-oh crap! It's Mugiwara no Luffy and hie crew, the Straw Hat Pirates!"
" W-we better get out of here before they destroy this place!"
The civilians all stayed away from the Straw Hats. They entered the restaurant and walked around to find a table big enough to let all of them eat together.
They heard someone eating extremely vulgarly and looked at where it came from. They were looking at a woman sitting on the table while piles and piles of plates were surrounding her.
"Still no food!? It's almost gone!!" The woman shouted while munching on a pizza and a chicken wing at the same time.
"It looks like they're making more as fast as they can captain." A person besides her said.
"They're not working fast enough!! GIVE ME MORE PIZZA!!!! " She shouted angrily.
Her name is Jewelry Bonney also known as the 'Big Eater'. She is one of the Supernovas with a bounty of 140,000,000 Belly and the captain of the Bonney Pirates, a pirate crew from the South Blue.
Bonney typically appears to be a slim, curvaceous young woman, despite the enormous amount of food she consumes regularly, with long light pink hair and brown eyes.
Her outfit consists of a white low-cut tank top that exposes both her midriff and cleavage, along with a pair of orange-and-black striped buckled shorts with long, thin suspenders.
She also wears black high-heeled boots which reach up to her calves, with large laces coming from the openings, and a pair of hot pink and dark red stockings with a yellow sun-like motif on them.
The hat she wears is a green Furażerka with a light-green lining. She has an anti-eyebrow below her right eye, bright red lipstick on her lips. Her brown furred jacket is on the ground right now.
"She is Jewelry Bonney, she has a bounty of 140 Million Belly. She has eaten the Toshi Toshi no Mi, a Paramecia-type that allows her to freely manipulate the aging process of anything, including herself, other people, and objects." Robin explained to Luffy by whispering it to him.
(Toshi Toshi no Mi = Age Age Fruit)
"What about that other guy that looks like a mafia-don?" Luffy asked while pointing at another person eating. He had people wearing suits and carrying rifles around him.
"Capone 'Gang' Bege, a mafia don-turned-pirate and the captain of the Fire Tank Pirates. Bege and his crew are from West Blue, where Bege was one of the heads of the Five Families of the West." Robin explained while Luffy nodded and hummed while studying Bege.
Bege is a short man with a stocky build whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of a Mafia boss. He sports an oiled-up and slicked-back hairstyle befitting that of a crime don.
His facial features have a very stern look to them further accentuated by his rather sharp but hooking beak-like nose. He also has five o'clock stubble on his upper lip.
He wears a black-and-white pinstriped attire, complete with a green scarf around his neck, with the excess tucked inside the suit, making it look like a cravat.
Like Crocodile, Bege wears very expensive golden rings with precious stones mounted on them, all his fingers including the thumbs, have them.
As for his personal effects, he has a pirate captain's coat with red and gold trimmings and a fedora hat, both of which he only seems to wear for traveling purposes. He is often seen smoking a cigar, except when eating.
"He has a bounty of 138,000,000 Belly and ate the Shiro Shiro no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that effectively makes him a miniature fortress." Robin added. Luffy smiled warmly at her.
"Thanks Robin. And you guys go ahead and sit down. Order what you want but don't order for me. I wanna talk to these guys for a while."
