The Shinobi of Straw Hats

Brook and Laboon are having a happy reunion as everyone expected. They hold yet another party here. The Straw Hats just love party too much. They never get tired of it.

Of course, Brook plays a lot of songs while they hold the party. Everyone else dances to the music including Laboon that stirs the sea with its dance. The whale is just too happy seeing the one it has been waiting for for years has finally come.

After the party, Brook is riding Laboon and go around the sea. They plan to go quite far and long because Brook wants to tell Laboon his story while also taking Laboon on a small adventure. So Sanji packs a lot of food for Brook & Laboon before they leave.

Then while riding on Laboon's head, Brook waves his bone hands. Luffy wants to join them, but everyone else stopped him because they wanted to give Brook and Laboon some time alone. So now the Straw Hats are waiting for them on Twin Cape.

While waiting for the Brook & Laboon, the Straw Hats are having fun playing with the rookies coming from Reverse Mountain. They do pranks or make drama by acting as benevolent gatekeepers of Grandline. Of course, they are using disguises so no one recognizes them.

The skeleton and whale finally return after a whole week. They've gone to some places that are quite close to Twin Cape to have fun. Now it's finally time for the Straw Hat Pirates to leave again and go to the next destinations.

Laboon decides to stay at Twin Cape with Crocus even though it missed Brook so much. But Crocus has been taking care of the whale for a few decades and it gets attached to him. Brook has also fulfilled his crew's promise, so now Laboon can finally move on.

Well, now they can come anytime they want, so there's really no problem. The Straw Hat Pirates also can't really take care of a whale. They are now the most wanted pirate crew in the world and will face the greatest danger as well, so it's dangerous for Laboon to follow them.

The crew then leaves Twin Cape and continues their adventure. They are done visiting everyone's home, so now they will start going to places they haven't visited yet. Only Robin doesn't visit her home as it has been destroyed, but they will still go to West Blue in the future.

For now, they are going to explore South Blue by crossing the Calm Belt again like when they went to East Blue. They plan to explore all 4 Blue Seas which are much more peaceful than Grandline before they explore Grandline again.

Their adventure on the 4 Blue Seas is more exciting than they thought. There are strange places that they thought wouldn't exist out of Grandline. But there aren't that many of these strange places in Blue Seas compared to the normal ones, so they're still better than Grandline.

The crew takes their time exploring Blue Seas for 3 years before going back to Grandline. They have gotten even stronger now because they never neglect their training and keep striving to get stronger even a little because their enemies and rivals are getting stronger too.

Now they are going to explore Grandline, starting from Paradise. There are many places they haven't visited in Grandline because they were only following 1 line. There are still some lines which have many islands even in Paradise.

The news of their return to Grandline alerts many big forces like the Marines. All of them know that the Grandline will be restless again now. After all, the strongest crew has finally returned to the Sea of Strongest.

As predicted, the Straw Hat Pirates start to get involved with dangerous situations. They often fight different organizations from other pirate crews, Marines, underground organizations, or even Countries & Kingdoms.

Anywhere they go, they always get involved with any ruckus happening there. It's not that they are some sort of walking natural disasters. They are just busybodies who can't just do nothing when there are big problems happening in those places.

Also, they mostly really just want to fight. But they make sure to investigate everything thoroughly to choose the correct side. Even if they are pirates, they still have humanity and don't want to hurt innocents because they make the wrong decision by helping the wrong side.

Their involvement in these things makes them appear in the news very often. People even start speculating they want to conquer the world by getting involved with every Nation they visit. But those who know them are laughing at such a rumor.

It takes a little more than 2 years for them to finish exploring Paradise. They could finish faster if not for the Marines, Pirate Crews, Bounty Hunters, and criminal organizations that kept chasing them everywhere.

Now they will explore the New World that has become even more dangerous since they left. Most of the pirate crews here really want to reach the top now since Luffy became the Pirate King. The Pirate King's appearance has inspired the pirates to get even stronger and now New World's danger level has increased a lot.

But because of that, the Marines are also getting stronger because many people are joining as they want to capture the Pirate King. The New World Government has also formed the new Cipher Pol agency. So both justice and evil sides are getting stronger now.

When the Straw Hat Pirates show up in the New World, everyone can feel the tide is changing. They all know the hierarchy in Grandline will finally get established. After all, it looks like the King has returned to finally rule his Kingdom.

But it's just what it looks like from outsiders' eyes. The Straw Hats themselves are not interested in ruling the sea or whatnot. They just want to explore the New World because there are still so many places they haven't gone to.

Now as the Pirate King crew, they are more feared and have more freedom. They now can go into other pirate crews' territories easier because most pirates don't want to fight the Straw Hats and allow them to explore those territories.

As for the territories owned by big pirate crews like Red Hair and former Big Mom Pirates that now become Charlotte Pirates, they can easily get approval to explore because they have a good relationship with those crews.

Still, although they are feared by many, many more people still dare to challenge them. If these people don't even dare to challenge them for the Pirate King title, then they shouldn't even dream of being one in the first place.

They meet lots of acquaintances in the New World and get into a lot of fights. The New World is obviously much more dangerous than any other seas but it's also the most exciting. And they are having a good adventure in the New World as they visit a lot of islands.

Then finally after visiting many places, they are going to Elbaf again. It's time to meet Dorry & Brogy after so long. Jon is grinning widely. He can't wait to tell the 2 old men his great adventure and tells them his next plan in life.
