The World Surged after the battle known as the Freedom War.
Many people from all walks of life came to denounce or approve of Galan and Luffy, debating constantly on what they did. These debates continued even after months as the World started changing for the better.
Fish-Men were walking around on Land without fear, Slavers were hunted down like rats.
There was a big shuffle in the Marines and Issho was the new Fleet Admiral after much deliberation.
Borsalino took an extended Vacation and the new Admirals came to be.
Pirates were seen in a different light now, although they were treated with caution at first, after many instances of them being friendly, many people warmed up to them.
Even Marines drinking with them in some special cases.
Luffy and his crew went to Vegapunk and stayed there for a while as he figured out how to cure Sugar as well as build a spaceship!
During the meantime, they sailed around looking for more crew members to go to space with them!
Everyone was shocked, Space?!
What the hell was that!?
In short, Yamato, Hiyori, Pudding, Hancock, Katakuri, Nojiko, Ace, Sabo, Koala, Vivi, Koby, Law, Carrot, Lilith, Rebecca, Shirahoshi, Leo, Kaya, Bentham, and Reiju joined them.
The most surprising was…
Smoker, Tashigi, Rosinante, and Hina also joined them… But for different reasons.
Smoker was angry that Luffy was the savior of the world now and vowed to create a Space Marine force to catch him. Tashigi and Hina tagged along, then eventually invited Kuzan, who couldn't say no and went with them.
Shockingly, Sugar also joined the Marine Camp after she was cured!
Koby was torn between Luffy and Smoker before finally deciding to stay in the Marine camp, Hibari joined him and Maria snuck in as well!
Franky brought the Straw Hat and it turned out to be the Legendary Uranus! He studied it with Vegapunk and they finally modified Sunny into a Space Ship! With the Power of Uranus! While Franky added a few modifications of his own!
A merging between Uranus and Pluton… maybe this was the greatest Spaceship to ever live!
A few years passed like this and everyone was training to go to Space for a new adventure.
One day
A muscular man with white hair at his temples, dragged a seaking onto a small island.
There was only one house on the island, but there were farms with vegetables, fruits, grains, and even some animals.
The island was nearly entirely fertile land since a tragedy happened here a long time ago.
The soil was blessed with the ashes and reborn into completely fertile land, suitable for farming.
The man grabbed the mouth of the huge seaking with one hand and dragged it ashore, his body covered in scars with an explosive scar all over his back and neck…
He walked to the house slowly as a woman said carefully "Dawn, don't make fun of your brother!" The man saw a woman with white hair, a mechanical leg prosthetic admonishing a little girl with white hair and black eyes.
The little girl was about to cry as the boy next to her laughed dumbly "Ah, mommy, it's okay…" the woman held her forehead and sighed "Don't protect your sister, Noctus." Noctus froze and the woman huffed "You're both 6 years old now! Not babies anymore! I don't want to see this anymore, okay?"
The duo bowed their heads and said "Okay…" the woman smiled with satisfaction before the two little ones turned and smiled "Daddy!" as they ran over, hugging the man's legs.
The woman looked over, the man saw her familiar tender and loving smile. He smiled slightly, saying "I got dinner…" before picking up the two kids with his only arm, smiling softly "Are you making trouble for mommy?" the kids started playing with his beard and giggling as the woman walked over.
He looked at her, her face scarred with an explosive scar, much like the one on his back. But hers was on her arms and part of her neck, along with some of her face, covering one of her eyes.
She was currently blind in one eye, but she didn't seem to care at all. She smiled all the same, looking at him with the same loving look he remembered as she leaned over and kissed his lips.
The man kissed her deeply as the kids laughed "Ewie~!" the two adults smiled at each other as the woman said "You need to shave." The man laughed and shook his head, "Maybe tomorrow."
He put the kids down and said with a gentle smile "Go wash your hands, Daddy's gonna teach you how to cut fish today." The woman looked worried, asking "Are you sure, love?" The man nodded with confidence, "My children are excellent."
The woman huffed with annoyance, "OUR children, you mean." Galan looked at her and touched the back of his head, a horrific scar on it as he laughed "Oh yeah… Hahaha…" The woman looked at him and asked gently, "Did you have another attack?"
The man looked away, saying "No…" The woman held his face and smiled tenderly, "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid." The man said with pain in his eyes, "Last time I hurt you…" she smiled at him, saying carelessly "I'm not hurt am I? Look." as she flexed her arm.
The man smiled warmly and she squinted in happiness, "I know many people who would run from my face." The man fell silent and she said with a laugh "It's not your fault! How many times do I have to tell you…" the man touched her facial scars and she flinched, looking away in shame.
He stroked her cheek with his thumb, "I think you're beautiful." she looked at him and pouted cutely, her eyes welling up with happy tears. He pulled her head close and kissed her forehead as she hugged him tight.
He stroked her hair and the kids came back, laughing "All clean!" as they showed the man their hands. The duo separated and the woman fixed her hair to how she usually wore it, a long lock of soft white hair, covering her scars, revealing only one eye.
The man sighed sadly, feeling guilty, but she smiled at him, her one revealed eye squinting in a happy crescent.
The man decided to talk about it later as he smiled at the children, "Alright, did you bring daddy's tools?" they held up a black bag and the man grabbed it, nodding "Good!" the woman looked at the black bag and covered her mouth, giggling as the man opened it to find toys inside.
He looked at the toys and the kids giggled happily, he sighed, saying sadly "No fish today…" The kids froze in shock, this prank…
THIS PRANK WENT TOO FAR!
The man laughed and pulled out a set of tools from behind him, saying "I have them here, crisis averted." the kids patted their chests and said angrily "Daddy! Why are you fooling us all the time! But I remember that being in the kitchen…"
The man grinned, "Daddy is very fast. Alright, come on…"
A little bit later, the man frowned and said "Stay here… Ah ah ah! Don't do anything or the fish will explode!" the kids laughed and said "Exploding fish? There's no such things!" The man looked at them lovingly "When did you two get so smart?" before walking to the shore a ways away.
The man stood on the shore expressionlessly as a ship sailed over, raising a pirate flag.
The man could hear, 'I see a beauty and a little girl! Yeahahahah! We're having fun tonight, boys!'
The man muttered "There's still these kinds of people…?" before sighing as he raised a fist.
The ship came close to shore as someone shouted "There's a man here! Look he's missing an arm! Who cares! Kill him!" the man punched out slowly and the entire ship along with everyone on it, disappeared as though they were never there.
It was as though someone left an invisible pillar on the sea for a few moments as the man turned around and left, the sea water rushing back to fill the gaps.
The man returned to his children and laughed "Daddy saw a giant bird! It was bigger than our house." The kids looked at him suspiciously, "Bigger than our house? A bird? Impossible."
The man was exasperated "What do you mean impossible?! I saw it! I even saw a Dragon!" the kids laughed, "You're so stupid, daddy! Dragons don't exist!" The man smiled warmly "You're right, how did you know?" as he started teaching them again, very slowly and carefully, making sure they didn't hurt themselves.
The woman sat on a chair outside the farmhouse, reading the newspaper, smiling "They're really going to Space… Unbelievable."
A while later
During the night, the woman walked out of the farmhouse and looked in the distance, hearing soft banging.
She walked over slowly, sighing to herself.
As she got closer, there was loud shouting and bangs everywhere.
She came to see the man, holding his head and screaming in terror, crying as he smashed the ground around a giant bloodstained cracked block.
He shouted while crying "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" as he smashed his head into the ground over and over again, waving his fist wildly as though fighting off some imaginary enemy.
The woman only felt sadness watching him, she walked over, saying softly "Love…" the man waved at her, shouting "Don't hurt me, please! You hurt my mommy already! Leave me alone!" The woman felt terrible, as though someone was stabbing her with a knife in the heart.
She caught his wrist, hugging him gently, humming a song in a soft voice. The man started calming down as she held him, "It's okay… I'm here…" the man hugged her gently and shivered.
She rubbed the scar at the back of his head and sighed sadly.
Most of the time he was normal, nothing seemingly wrong with him… but every now and then since the incident… he would lose his mind and hallucinate living nightmares. It took her a long time to figure out that her singing calmed him down.
She held him and kissed his head, singing softly as he slowly came back to his senses, separating from her, looking away in shame. She held him and smiled "It's nothing to be ashamed about, love… We'll work through it together… Just like we always have."
The man grit his teeth and teared up, "Sometimes I think it's just better that I had died." The woman tightened her grip and said "Please don't say that." the man fell silent as she continued "I really don't like hearing that… It really scares me, you know? It's a miracle that we're alive."
The man looked up at the night sky and muttered "A miracle… or am I cursed…" she kissed him deeply, pushing him down on the soft grass, sitting on his lap. She smiled tenderly, saying firmly with a loving look in her eye, "A miracle. I go to sleep everyday, hoping that I wake up tomorrow and it's not a dream. Every day I get to be with you like this is a dream come true for me. We have 2 beautiful children and we're only a little banged up."
She slid her fingertips on his cheek, saying softly "I love everything about you, even these attacks… You did a great thing, something nobody else has ever dreamed of doing, but you did it. You're the greatest hero this world has ever seen and I know that in my heart. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks-"
The man cut her off, saying slowly "I don't care what anybody else thinks…" she paused and smiled gently "I know, baby. I know you're happy, I can see it… I don't want you to throw away this happiness because of these attacks. I'm here for you, let me help you." he looked at her and she leaned over, kissing his lips softly, "I won't abandon you."
She continued kissing him as he closed his eyes, running his hand up her back, she shivered and took her clothes off, kissing him while pulling him on top of her.
The next morning
The man was tending to the crops and taking care of the animals with a gentle smile on his face. Afterwards, he went inside and the kids yawned, "Morning… Daddy…" the man smiled happily, saying "Wanna go fishing with Daddy?"
The kids looked at him and giggled "Are we gonna fish up a dragon?" The man blinked before smiling tenderly "If you want to, sure." the duo laughed, "Dragon's don't exist, daddy!" The man paused and smacked his head, "Ah! I forgot!" as the kids laughed happily, pulling him to the table.
He sat down and the woman smiled, putting food on the plate as she said "Eat before it gets cold, my little lovelies~" Dawn and Noctus cheered before eating everything on the plate.
The man laughed gently, watching them with happy eyes as he sipped a coffee.
A newsgull landed in the open window and landed a newspaper to the man, before saluting and flying off before the man could even pay.
The man sighed and said "Free Newspapers now?" The woman rolled her eyes, didn't you see that newsgull salute and bow deeply before leaving??
The man opened the newspaper and saw the front page, 'Pirates?! IN SPACE!? An Interview with Monkey D. Luffy on becoming a Space pirate. More on Page 4.'
The man shook his head and laughed "Space Pirates? Gehahahaha!" the woman smiled sweetly and the kids said "Oh! That's the Pirate King! Wow! So cool! He's going to space?! What's space!? I don't know, probably somewhere warm."
The man ignored them, flipping past the story to more recent news. Some things about Marines taking more action across the Blues… Apparently, spreading to the New World, something about exploring the Outer Seas.
The man didn't really think it was such a good idea, but hey… Who was he? Just some guy.
The newspaper continued to say that since the Straw Hat Pirates were taking a few members of royalty with them, their countries were in turmoil…
Another thing about Marines forming a Space Marine corps…
The man sighed, "A lot of things about Space, recently…" the woman laughed happily, "Maybe it's really nice there? Someone didn't take me!" The man put down the paper, saying with exasperation "How am I supposed to take you to space! Come on… Jump? Give me a break, jeez…"
The woman mocked him "jUmP? GivE Me a bReAk, jEeZ." before adding "Mimimimi, I don't love my lovely and beautiful and perfect and virtuous wife, mimimimi~" The man chuckled and raised the newspaper, looking over the edge as the woman looked at him, sticking her tongue out at him cutely, winking as she ate breakfast.
The man smiled lovingly with a bit of amusement before turning back to the newspaper, reading in silence.
A while later
The man and his family were all at the shore, the woman was laying in the sun, while the man was teaching the children to fish better, "You have to chum the water, Dawn… You didn't even put bait, Noctus… I thought you guys were smart, we're neve gonna catch a dragon like this!"
The woman looked over at the funny interaction and smiled sweetly, "Honey~" The man looked over and tilted his head, she said "I love you~" He smiled and said "I love you too, annoying woman." before turning back and saying in shock "You pulled a fish with your hands!? Are you Kaido?!"
The woman laughed happily and felt that her life was perfect.
If she could do it all over again, she would!
This is the happiest life she could ever hope for.
The End (Again)
(Maybe Canon?! O.o)
Who knows~
