It had been a couple of days since the honeymoon, and Luffy still treated Yukiko like the queen she is.

Although from the last day, she couldn't walk.....

Let alone stand.......

For a week........

When Luffy insisted being the only one to carry her, no one questioned it. (They already knew....Except Chopper.)

Although Sanji cried tears of blood in his emo corner......

------------------

But this was a different matter....

Yukiko, now able to fully walk again, was with Luffy on the masthead of the Sunny, with Moshi and Pachi too. They spotted an island in sight.

"Is that it?" Luffy asked.

Yukiko looked at the Eternal Pose she gained from Navier and smiled. "No doubt, the Wol Contenent, Western Empire is that way. We'll be docking at Whitemond as the Empire is land-locked." She said excited to see her friend again.

---------------------------

Ahead of time, Yukiko sent Skylar her Pidgeot to the Western Empire, to send a message.

Navier was on the balcony reading when she saw a giant bird coming......with a letter.

"A letter, for me?"

She accepted it and read it.

"Hello, Navier!

I hope you are doing well. My honeymoon with Luffy just ended, and we are just arriving in the Wol Continent. We'll be there soon. Can't wait to see you!

From,

Monkey D. Yukiko"

Navier smiled. It had been a long time since she last saw her dear friend.

Although Yukiko was a pirate, she was a good one, as she learned what she did at Marineford and the outcome.

The Wol Continent was one of the few places not touched by learning about Pokemon, but maybe Yukiko could teach the Western Empire about them.

----------------------------------

A few hours later, the crew made it to the Western Empire, and they were all dressed in formal wear, although Luffy kept his strawhat.

As they made their way to the palace, the knights looked a little uneasy, but Navier arrived at the gates.

"Yukiko! It's been a while! I got your letter!" The blonde smiled.

"I'm glad! It's nice to see you again!" Yukiko said.

"And Luffy, I see you are doing well." Navier nodded.

"Yup! How's Heinley?"

"He's alright. I have lunch being prepared outside, if you would all like to join." Navier offered, and they agreed.

--------------

Navier knew she met the crew a bit at the wedding, but she really didn't have time to get to know them.

They were all different and had their own quirks.

Zoro had the aura of a warrior, and she was convinced if her brother challenged him, he'd lose.

Nami was a very intelligent woman. She even noticed it would rain later before anyone else knew. Did she have magic tied to the weather?

Usopp was very peculiar, and he told stories that sounded unbelievable but they were entertaining.

Sanji was also peculiar as he swooned around Robin and Nami, but he held back on Navier and Yukiko as they were both married.

Chopper was such an adorable thing! And to learn he was a doctor made him even more endearing.

Robin, was a very mature and intelligent woman, especially with her knowledge of history. Navier could tell she would be popular among the nobles.

Franky was eccentric, but he could be popular with kids as he had an uncle aura about him. 

Brook was a surprise as he was a skeleton, but he was a talented musician. 

Jinbei was the most surprising as he was a fish-man but still very friendly.

It was hard to believe that Bonney was only 14, but with her situation, Navier could at least understand why she became a pirate.

Then there was the couple among the crew.

They were opposites in almost every way, but they bonded over their love of adventure.

Luffy and Yukiko seemed to remind Navier of her relationship with Heinley. She smiled at the thought.

---------------------

Navier was happy that her friend and the crew were gonna stick around for a needed vacation after being pursued by Marines. Even giving them rooms in the palace.

When Navier and Yukiko were walking in the gardens......

"Wait, you're pregnant? How far?" Yukiko asked as Countess Jubel accompanied them.

"Two months. Honestly, I thought I wouldn't get this chance." Navier smiled.

"Nonsense! After what you went through, I'd say this makes it all up." Yukiko said. "So, will you host a celebration?"

"Yeah, Heinley insisted, but we'll hold it on a date where it's not close to his birthday coming up."

"We'll be there too." Yukiko smiled.

After the walk, Navier went to have a meeting with Heinley regarding invitations. 

"Jubel. Mind if I chat with you? Alone?" Yukiko asked.

"Sure." Jubel said as they went to a lone room where they would not be disturbed.

"I remember something that a certain woman said as they were newlyweds, of a rumor that Navier being infertile........but it turns out she's not.............how long did Navier and that man try for a child?" Yukiko asked.

"That......oh, Emperor Sovetshu and Navier were married for seven years, but before Empress Rashta came along, he did care about Navier, and loved her......but she was never able to bear a child.......until now." Jubel said, a little nervous about where this was going.

"And how early was Rashta's baby born?"

"If I'm correct, two months early, but she was said to be perfectly healthy, and people thought it was a miracle."

"......Navier was rumored to be infertile, but she's not......She got pregnant as soon as she married Heinley......how did Rashta suddenly get pregnant and have a premature birth with a healthy baby? She doesn't have magic, which would help.......I wonder........"

"Lady Yukiko?.......What are you saying?"

"If Navier was not infertile........then there's only one answer......"

Jubel's eyes widened as she began to realize it too. "....Oh my! You mean....?!"

"Can you keep an eye on the activities of the Eastern Empire? By now, that man must know too. He may have doubts. I have a good idea what this could mean. If I'm right..................The Wol Contenent will witness a scandal that will go down in history!" Yukiko frowned.

----------------------

Soon, the party for Navier's pregnancy arrived.

The Strawhats all dressed in formal wear, as they talked with the nobles and such. Luffy and Yukiko stayed next to Navier the whole time as nobles congratulated them.

Some nobles see the exchange between Luffy and Yukiko and never thought they'd see a couple so much in love. Some nobles from the Eastern Empire even start comparing them to Sovietshu and Rashta.

"My, Strawhat really loves Lady Yukiko. He hasn't left as far as five feet since they came here." One lady said.

"I heard that an attack separated them, so he's stuck to her as if he's afraid she'll disappear." A duke adds.

"Luffy may be a king, but he's so carefree, friendly, and accepting. He also made this party more fun! It is usually so boring. I even heard he saved entire kingdoms!" A viscount inputs.

"Yukiko is so sweet, caring, and compassionate. I heard she even went out of her way to help some commoners with some luggage and stuff." A dutchess smiles.

"They are very different from Emperor Sovietshu and Empress Rashta. Since the Emperor divorced Empress Navier and they married, bad rumors rose one after another." 

"I agree. Why can't they act more like Luffy and Yukiko?"

Then Circe looked up in surprise. "I didn't think she'd be here."

Hm?

Yukiko looked and had a face that looked like she had swallowed something sour.

Rashta was here.

Luffy saw Rashta as well, and whispered to his wife. "Is that her? The bad woman you told us about?" 

"Yeah. Robin, let the others know. " Yukiko then whispered to Robin, who used her power to let her nakama know.

They got the message and kept a distance. Even though Sanji was told to respect women, he did not like Rashta for some reason.

------------------------

As Rashta arrived and gave Navier her sword back as a gift, she spotted a familiar face.

It was Yukiko.

She remembered when Yukiko became Navier's temporary bodyguard when Rashta was still a mistress. After two years, she had to leave to reunite with her family.

She was also annoyed when Yukiko caught Sovetshu's eye and feared he would ask her to be a second mistress, but he was turned down.

Yukiko even made it clear that she already had a lover.

Looking at Yukiko's side, was Luffy. He appeared to be a little older than her. He was significantly more muscular than other men Rashta met. This can be seen in his slightly thicker neck, more pronounced deltoids, and a better-defined chest, hidden by his suit. 

She saw Yukiko and Luffy had wedding bands on their fingers, which meant they were married.

"Ah, Lady Yukiko.....it's been a while.....I see you got married. If I knew, I would have brought a gift for you too." Rashta said.

"Ah, yes, we married a few weeks ago. And your thanks is gift enough." Yukiko held back the venom in her voice.

Then Rashta walked off, Yukiko seeing that she was looking for Heinrey. And spotted him with Ergi.

But Heinrey went back to his wife, Yukiko, and Luffy for a chat.

However, Rashta had to ask Ergi something.

"Ergi, who exactly is the man Heinley is talking too?"

"Hm? Oh, that's Monkey D. Luffy. Sure his name is strange, but he is the current Pirate King."

"! Pirate.....King?"

"Yeah, not too long ago, he and his crew obtained the legendary treasure, the One Piece, which the first late Pirate King Gol D. Roger left behind. Although Yukiko is already wealthy enough to cover their expenses. She's the current Pokemon Monarch of her homeland and is the strongest Pokemon trainer. I recently heard of them myself, but there is still so much about them we don't know. And there is the fact of what happened two years ago."

"Two years ago?"

Ergi then told Rashta of the Marineford Incident and the day known as the Judgement of the Gods, or the Celestial Dragon's/Government's Judgement Day.

She was shocked that Yukiko had toppled the Government's centuries of power abuse in little time, and had slavery outlawed.......but wait, if she had stopped it about two years ago, then the time when she was still a slave......it was illegal as slavery became outlawed! As she became Empress, word got around slavery became a crime overnight, due to the Marineford Incident.

Then Ergi told her that Luffy and Yukiko were discovered to be the Avatars of Nika and Kazuya, the Sun God and the Moon Goddess. 

As the respective Warrior of Liberation and Maiden of Peace, they were friends to slaves and endorsers of freedom.

Rashta thought this over.

They may be wanted pirates, but many civilians praise them for exposing the lies of the government and purging their corrupt marine officers. They were also said to have saved entire kingdoms!

Their actions also inspired new Marines to be better and worthier enforcers of Justice for the people and not for those of the upper class. 

"Hm. It was a good idea to come." She thought to herself.
