Underneath Sabaody Archipelago
Luffy POV
"So, how was your training?" Luffy ask
"It was great!" Coby was the first to speak "I meet the minks and they taught me a lot"
"I don't want to talk about it" said Sanji
"Got my ass kicked by Mikhawk multiple times but I am stronger" said Zoro
"The Revolutionary army teach us a lot" said Vivi, while Robin nodded
"We even meet Sabo, who is Luffy's big brother" said Robin "and we also meet his mom, who was... upset you didn't tell her of many future daughters in law". Luffy blushed a crimson red at those words. 
"Troublesome mother" Luffy mumbled, still blushing
"I learn a lot of the weather" said Nami "feel I am a better navigator thanks to that"
"I learn more medicine" said Chopper "I have better control of my devil fruit"
"I also learned more medicine thanks to doctor Kureha " said Kaya
"You were with doctor Kureha?" Chopper asked, becoming emotional
"Yeah" said Kaya "she is a great teacher but terrifying at the same time"
"I know" said Chopper 
"I have become a better shooter and even created more bullets"  Usopp said 
"I become a better inventor" said Franky
"So, what happened?" Asked Luffy to him
"I don't want to talk about it" Franky said, blushing in embarrassment
"I improved my control ot my devil fruit powers" said Brook "and I can do better amazing things!. Yohoho!!!"
"I already talk to Ace when coming here" said Luffy "and Whitebeard is not feeling very well"
"His sick?" Chopper ask concerned
"Yeah" Luffy answered "and he's old age is not helping"
"So, what's going to happen?" Zoro asks
"Well, he wants me to take over his territories, especially Fishman Island" Luffy answered "they had defeated one of Big mom's sons, Katakuri". That made Pudding look at them with surprise 
"My big brother was defeated?' she said surprised
"It wasn't easy but yes" said Luffy "and Whitebeard, been the guy he is, adopted him as a son"
"Wait, he betrayed my mother???" Pudding surprised
"He did" Luffy answered "and for what I heard, she is pissed off until this day"
"My brother Katakuri is one of the strongest" said Pudding "that sure was a hard blow to her ego" 
"I heard she threw a big temper tantrum while I was training" Luffy said "Rayleigh told me that the marines were so desperate, they almost called Shanks to go and stop her. As Kuzan is the new Fleet admiral, he is trying to fix all the damages that we did but he isn't going to attack"
"That's good" said Robin "Kuzan is terrifying"
"But he isn't a psychopath like Sakasuki was" Luffy said "and he isn't Kizaru, who is a complete loyal dog to the World Government. His justice is the lazy justice"
"We are getting closer" said Nami "getting ready to enter Fishman Island!". Luffy smiled and then they saw as some fishman, took them to the palace. Luffy raised his eyebrows when he saw some destruction "what happened?"
"A crazy fishman try to destroy everything, thinking Whitebeard was too weak to stop him" Jimbie answered, making Luffy smiled "Hody learn the hard way that Whitebeard even in his weaken state can be deadly. Captain Luffy, can I formerly ask if I can join your crew?"
"Jimbie, I was about to ask you if you want to join" Luffy said smiling "you are more than welcome to join and the Sun Pirates, if they want, can join my fleet". Jimbie smiled at that
"Thank you, Luffy-kun" said Jimbie. Soon they were seeing the king and all his children. Luffy blushed when he saw the mermaid princess, while Sanji had a massive nosebleed and losing consciousness seconds later. 
"Sanji!!!" Chopper screamed as he started running in circles "we need a doctor!!!"
"Chopper, you are a doctor" Hancock said, giggling and making Chopper blush.  
"Ohh, right" said Chopper as he went to check on Sanji. 
"Damn it, Sanji-kun" said Pudding "in what kind of hell where you for this to happen to you?"
"Okama Island" Luffy answered, making all the males, including the fishman, shivered at those words "worst hell on earth for a male"
"Luffy!" Said Ace he come to him and hug him "your finally here!"
"Hello brother" said Luffy. He then notice Ace was sad "everything okay?"
"Pops health is getting worst" Ace answered "he is saying that soon there will be only four emperors once more"
"I am sorry" said Luffy
"Big brother!" Said Pudding, hugging who could only be Charlotte Katakuri
"Hello Pudding" said Katakuri "I am glad to see you happy". Luffy notice that Katakuri was in bandages but was smiling. 
"Glad to see you happy as well, big brother" said Pudding
"Come on, pops wants to talk to you" said Ace. Luffy nodded as he follow his brother. Whitebeard was on a bed, many devices connected to him 
"Glad your here, Monkey D. Luffy" said Whitebeard "I want to thank you for helping save Ace and if you could take care of my territories, specially this beautiful place"
"Of course" said Luffy "I will tell the king to put my flag and ask nothing in exchange. I will be happy with a feast though"
"Guarararaa" said Whitebeard"cheeky brat "Ace, I am naming you and Marco co-captains of the Whitebeard pirates. Get stronger and defeat Kaido and Lilith. End their tiranny"
"I will do it, pops" said Ace "I promise. A few hours after Luffy talk to Whitebeard,  he passed away in his sleep. Luffy consoled his brother as he cried and Fishman Island mourned him, as Whitbread had protected them for evil pirates and slavers. But Luffy was going to the same. Katakuri ask Luffy if he could join his fleet and become a commander. Luffy accepted and had one more powerful conqueror's haki user. 
"What will you do, Ace?" Luffy ask him
"I will go to Wano and start planning the fall of Kaido" he answered "don't worry, I  am going to be careful, specially since Teach is still out there..
"We should burn Whiteheads body" Luffy said "Teach is a bastard and can be planning on steal the body"
"Your right" said Ace "and Luffy?"
"Yeah?" Luffy ask
"Take this" said Ace, as he passed him a devil fruit "it's pop's fruit and he ask me to give it to you as soon as it appears" 
"But I can't eat it, I would die" said Luffy confused. 
"I know but that's what he said" Ace answered
"I will see what to do" said Luffy "take care Ace. See you in Wano"
"Don't do anything stupid in the meantime" said Ace. Luffy burst out laughing
"That I can't promise" said Luffy
