The rest of Luffy's crew were a bit surprised, but they couldn't say they never expected something like this would happen. Vivi, on the other hand, was beyond shocked. and also angry.
"Luffy, you can't be serious!" Vivi shouted while taking a few steps towards Luffy. "They tried to kill us, and now you're offering them a place to be your crew!" Vivi screamed, furious at the idea.
"And what exactly do you mean?" Luffy asked in his usual monotone voice. Before Vivi could answer, Luffy spoke once more.
"Nami committed treason, and she is still part of my crew. Johnny tried to kill me at one point, and he is now part of my crew. So what point are you trying to make here?" Luffy asked, causing Vivi to look at Nami and Johnny, hoping what Luffy said wasn't true, only to see them both nod their heads.
Vivi then looked back at Luffy and was about to try reasoning with him again, but before Vivi could speak, Luffy got ahead of her again.
"And I need to remind you, Princess, that you are a passenger on my ship, not a member of my crew, and you are definitely not the captain," Luffy said somewhat harshly, causing the rest of the crew to look at Vivi with pity for her.
Vivi didn't say anything else; instead, she turned, walked back, stood with the rest of the crew, and tried not to make eye contact with anyone.
"Don't you think that's too loud, Luffy?" Nojiko asked from his position beside Vivi. Luffy didn't answer her; instead, he turned to the Baroque Works group of agents and spoke.
"How?" Luffy asked, causing the three of them to look at each other for a moment before each giving their response.
"I will join you," said Ms. Valentines.
"I'd rather be your ally than your enemy," said Mr. 5, which caused Luffy to nod before looking at Ms. Goldenweek.
He took some time and looked around to see if Mr. 3 was about to return, but after realising he wasn't, he spoke up.
"I'll be joining too," he said, causing Luffy to smile before snapping his fingers, which caused the lightning that bound Ms. Valentine and Mr. 5 to disappear, allowing them to move once again.
"Welcome to the Straw Hat Pirates!" Luffy said, smiling, making them smile and nod their heads. Luffy then turned to the two giants at the side and walked towards them.
"Sorry I didn't release you soon, Brogy; I wanted to make sure the threat was gone," said Luffy before he used his lightning to melt the wax and free Brogy.
"No problem, my young friend!" Brogy spoke brightly before his smile slowly faded as he looked at Dorry's unconscious figure. Luffy, seeing Broggy's behaviour, decides to give him some good news.
"Don't worry about Dorry," Luffy said, getting her attention. "He's still alive," Luffy said, causing everyone's eyes to widen.
"What!?" Brogy shouted in surprise. "Dorry is alive!? But how?" he asked while looking between Luffy and Dorry.
"I can only guess it's because, after fighting for a hundred years, your weapons have become dull." Luffy made everyone look at the two giant weapons and see that their weapons were in very bad condition.
"Of course, even weapons made in Elbaf couldn't survive the use of two giants who duelled for a hundred years," said Usopp happily, glad that Dorry was still alive.
And right after that, they saw Dorry start to wake up. After being helped by Brogy, Dorry and everyone returned to the boulder, where Luffy and Vivi had lunch with Dorry and then sat back and relaxed while Dorry tended to his wounds.
"While we wait here, could someone please tell me where Sanji is?" Luffy asked while summoning his throne. Before anyone could answer, they all heard Sanji's voice coming from behind them.
"Oh, Nami! Vivi! Nojiko! Did you miss me?" Sanji asked with hearts in his eyes, and he ran towards the crew. However, when he saw the two giants and three former agents of Baroque work, he immediately took a protective position in front of Nami and Vivi.
"Okay, who are you guys, and which one of you is Mr. 3?" Sanji shouted back to his normal self.
"And how did you know about Mr. 3?" Nami asked, causing Sanji to turn and look at her.
"Oh, Nami, you look so beautiful in that dress!" Sanji screamed when he saw Nami wearing only a bra.
"Try again!" Nami shouted while clenching her fist.
"Relax, here, take my coat," said Luffy as he took off his coat and handed it over to Nami to cover her body. "You know, I was kind of busy at the time," Sanji said as he sat down on a log nearby.
"I just chatted with Mr. 0 via transponder snail," said Sanji, causing everyone to stare at him with widened eyes.
"You what?" everyone shouted.
"Yes, I found an enemy base in the middle of the forest, and he called," he said before he lit a cigarette. "I answered, and he thought I was a guy called Mr. 3, whom apparently he sent here to kill us and Vivi," said Sanji while exhaling smoke.
"I told him Vivi and the straw hats all died," Sanji said, happy, while everyone looked at him like he had grown a second head.
"So he doesn't need to send others to chase us anymore," Vivi said in a whisper.
"So you said we were killed by the people who were chasing us, but we can't go anywhere now," shouted Usopp.
"We can't go? Is there anything we still have to take care of here?" Sanji asked, still not knowing that the pose log took an entire year to reset.
"Too bad, even though I managed to get hold of this thing," Sanji said as he threw an eternal pose at Alabasta that caused everyone's jaws to drop.
"Eternal Pose for Alabasta!" Johnny shouted.
"Now we can finally set sail!" Yosaku added when they all started dancing.
"Why can't you guys be like Sanji?" Luffy said, causing them all to stop celebrating and start sulking.
"Dorry, Brogy "It was nice to meet you guys, but it is time for us to go now," Luffy said as he rose from his throne and sent him back into the sky.
"Right, too bad you have to go so soon," said Dorry, while Brogy nodded in agreement.
"Take care," said Luffy as he and his crew started walking back to the ship. After walking for about five minutes, the crew arrived back on board and saw three large dead dinosaurs in front of the ship.
