Chapter Text
-Meanwhile on Sunny Go-
"Achoooo!!" Luffy sneezed. "What's wrong luffy?? ARE YOU SICK?! OH NO SOMEBODY CALL A DOCTOR!!" screamed Chopper. Sanji, who’s already finished cooking in the kitchen, opened the kitchen door. "Aren't you the doctor chopper?" "AH.. I forgot" said Sanji and Chopper, respectively. "Come on guys, lets eat. I bet you guys haven't eaten proper food since I was away." Sanji said while lighting his cigarette. "NAMI-SWANNNN, CARROT-CHWANNN, I HAVE PREPARED YOU A SPECIAL DISH. ONLY FOR YOU, mademoiselle~” ''Yes.. yes, thank you very much sanji-kun. I appreciate it” said Nami while entering the kitchen area.
In the kitchen, everyone already took a seat and enjoyed their meal, especially luffy who has been eating uncontrollably. “MEAT!!!! SO DELICIOUS!!” The mountain of food in front of Luffy disappeared immediately and he was starting to steal from another plate. The other members who were also eating started to have tears shed from their eyes. “ UWAAAA! Sanji’s cooking is da best ever!! I’m so glad we didn’t have to eat another poisoned fish now.” “That is very true, chopper-san! YOHOHOHO I’m very happy that sanji-san is already with us again! I definitely could cry in tears now. Even though I don’t have eyes YOHOHOHO” said chopper and Brook, respectively.
While enjoying their food, Luffy suddenly asked Nami, “Nami, how long till we reach wano? I can't wait to meet the others!!” “well, it should be around a week and half for us to reach wano.” “EHHHHH, it's too long!! I want to get there quickly and beat up Kaido!!!” whined luffy. “Just be patient luffy! We have just finished our business with big mom and currently we are also sailing towards it.” said Nami sternly. “Ah, nami-san, may I suggest something?” said Sanji while smoking his cigarette. “Sure sanji-kun, what are you suggesting?” “I believe we should stop at some island first before continuing our journey to wano. Our food supplies are almost finished and with our captain’s appetite, it’s not enough. Also, I think we should repair several parts of Sunny too.” “Hem.. let me see the map first. If I remember correctly, there is a small island called Carigby Island near our current position.” said Nami while pointing the small dot on the map. “That sounds good Nami-san, I have no problem with that. OI LUFFY!! Are you listening? Nami-san said there is a small island near here and I want to restock our supplies first. What do you think?” said Sanji while kicking Luffy's back in order to get his attention. “Ehhh?? But I want to go to Wano as soon as possible” whined luffy. “Oi luffy we are only visiting that island for restocking, It would not take long” said sanji. “Then that's okay! LETS GO TO THE NEW ISLAND FIRST!!” said Luffy excitedly.
-Back to Moby-
“Wha..what??! Look at this! Luffy’s bounty is bigger than mine now!!!” said Ace with shock. Marco, Thatch, and other commanders that saw his reaction thought that this event was a funny moment where Ace loses his cool. Thatch thought that this could be the newest material for teasing Ace. “Oho… Look at that, now your little brother has a bounty higher than yours eh?” thatch said with a smirk painted on his face. “Maybe he is already stronger than you, Ace! So now luffy is the one that's gonna protect his big brother huh” thatch said laughingly. Thatch’s laughter was followed by the other commanders who were also watching their bickery. Hearing this, Ace, who’s right now has a very red face, immediately refuted Thatch. “NONSENSE! I’M THE BIG BROTHER! I’M THE ONE WHO WILL PROTECT HIM!” screamed Ace. “Are you sure, big brother? I am very sure that Luffy is stronger than you now~ and maybe he is not your cute little brother anymore that needs your protection” said Thatch jokingly with tears in his eyes. “As long as I live, I'll be the one who protects him and not the other way around!!!” Ace said with determination that could be seen through his eyes.
“~whistle~ look at that ladies and gentlemen. Right now, we have witnessed Ace’s protective sides to his cute little brother,” said thatch. “Anyway, Marco!! What should I do to be able to meet him?? We already visited Dressrosa and now the newspaper said he is just from the totto land…” said Ace dejectedly. Marco, who was silent throughout the bickering between Thatch and Ace, actually thinks about what island that Strawhat will visit next. Throughout the bickering, he has been talking to the whitebeard to discuss what step to be taken next in order to be able to catch up to the Strawhat group. “Pops, I am thinking that we should visit the island after Totto land. I am pretty sure the fight between Big mom and Strawhat was big. They have to restock and repair their ship before continuing their journey yoi” Marco said while looking at the whitebeard. “That is a really good idea, son. Looking at their action in Dressrosa, we could determine that Ace’s little brother is going to fight kaido. I don’t know why he was in Linlin's area but I am pretty sure he is after Kaido” said whitebeard. “I also think so, pops. Then, I’m sure they are going to Carigby Island -the island between Totto land and wano-” “Marco! immediately set the course for that land.” said whitebeard. “Affirmative pops. OI ACE! We are going to Carigby Island. I am pretty sure we can catch up to your little brother now!” Smiled Marco.
