*CLINK*

With the main cause of trouble gone, and thanks to the D-Men at, the Inhumans welcomed them with open arms. They were given what Luffy wanted most.

A banquet.

With tabels of food, Luffy was beside Black Bolt, eating to his hearts content.

Luffy: *munch* I bet I can eat more than you! *Munch*

Black Bolt: [No doubt....]

Having already doubled in size, Luffy continued to eat with the King. Robin and Medusa wandered off together whilst chatting. Quicksilver and Crystal were watching as Luna petered Sanji who was going through withdrawals now that he ran out of cigarettes.

Sanji:(mind) Guido got a harem and I got a brat? It should be the opposite, the ages would line up then!

Luna:(smiles) And that's how Sparkle Lord usurped the Cute Queen.

Sanji: Huh?

Lockjaw: *panting*

Kitty:(smiles) Who's a good boy? You are!

Kitty played with the massive dog, Lockjaw.

Craig and Lila awkwardly eyed Gorgon who "they" beat up significantly before the mind control.

Gorgon:(glares)

Lila:(strums guitar)

Craig:(awkwardly looks around)

As those three awkwardly existed, Laura chugged her beer. Tak was working on blueprints for something whilst Guido was near a balcony saddened that the Stepford Cuckoos were gone. Feeling as if he left Emma Frost again Guido felt someone pull him.

Luffy: Guido! Come and eat! Or can I have you food?

Laura: You better eat before he does it for you. Doubt the cook can make anything in his state...

Sanji:(taps foot) Oi, old man. Run back to earth and get me a pack, would ya?

Quicksilver: Run yourself.

Sanji: Aren't you the fastest man alive? I got the cash.

Luna: Big bro Sanji! Smoking is bad for you!

Quicksilver:(smirks) Listen to her, Blondie.

Sanji:(plays with lighter) Damn Warlord...

(Meanwhile....)

In an elegant lobby, stood a large cube as it's center piece. A Poneglyph which Medusa showed to the curious Robin. She looked at the cube with great interest.

Medusa: When you discribed the Poneglyph, I immediately thought of this. Is it one of those cubes?

Robin: It is.

Medusa: What does it say?

Robin: It speaks of three Celestials coming to earth in ancient times.

Robin: They each conducted an experiment...

Robin: "With three ideals and three methods, the scales of power were tipped three ways upon this planet."

Robin: "Then came the inferior to the Celestials, to mimic what they had done for their own benefit."

Medusa: Anything else...?

Robin: It simply speaks of the location of where all this took place...

Robin:... Hmmmm...

Medusa: Is some wrong?

Robin: Sinister. He claimed to do what he did to defeat someone called Apocalypse.

Medusa: It doesn't justify his actions.

Robin: I'm not saying it does... However, knowing what I do of him... I can confirm he isn't lying.

Robin: And this... Apocalypse is not only real...

(Flashback)

Robin:(mind) This one has nothing about the origin of Mutants.

Robin:(mind) I'm back to square one....

She tossess the cube away.

Robin:(mind) Joyboy... Apocalypse... Their fight doesn't mean anything to me...

(Flashback end)

Robin: He's an ancient threat from the Egyptian era.

Robin: The one who defeated him last time was someone called Joyboy a god of slaves.

Medusa: Fascinating....

Robin:(smiles) Heh.

Robin:(mind) To think... I would have never learned all this if I hadn't chosen to live...

Robin: Excuse me. But I've had enough archeology for today. I'm going to go spend time with my friends.

Medusa: Very well.

Robin rejoined the festivities ti find Guido lifting a table to pour more food into Luffy mouth, making him more obsess.

Luffy: *Munching* MOOREE!! *Munching*

Craig: Twenty bucks says he explods.

Laura: Make it fifty.

Guido: *chuckles* Help! I'm running out of food here!

Sanji:(pulls up sleeves) Already, Get me to the kitchen, or else you won't be able to keep up with his appetite!

Kitty: GUYS! Have some manners! We're literally in front of royalty here!

♪Brummm♪

Lila: You gotta eat, eat, eat!♪

Medusa:.... Urgh...

Robin:(smiles) Aren't they great?

Medusa: Your little king is certainly something.... But I'll stick with mine, thank you very much.

Robin: Your loss.

She crossed her arms.

Robin: "Quattro Fleur; Pull"!!

Blooming arms, Robin pulls Luffy's rubber mouth wide open.

Luffy: Huh? Anks Obin! Ey an eat sooo uch more ike ihs!!!

*Thud*

Guido: Whaaa!? I dropped the table in his mouth!!?!

Luffy: BLEEEEEEAAAAAH!!!

Kitty: Just cover it with spices, he won't know the difference.

*SNAP*

Pulling the table out, Guido and everyone watch the miracle of Luffy's metabolism as he snapped back into his usual lengthy proportions.

(Later.....)

Luna was put to bed, father and mother were left together to their own devices. Pietro poured wine for the two of them, attempting to set the mood.

But it was clear from Crystal's expression that she wasn't having it.

There was something on Crystal's mind distracting her.

Quicksilver: What's wrong?

Crystal: Sinister was it? Isn't he one of the Warlords?

Quicksilver: Yeah...?

Crystal:....

Quicksilver: What are you trying to say? That I had something to do with this?

Crystal:...

Quicksilver: Listen, "Warlord" is just a stupid title they give us. All I am is a freelance agent.

Quicksilver: We ain't coworkers, or anything.

Crystal: Yeah... Right. Sorry.

Quicksilver:.... It's alright...

Crystal: But I have to know... Wanda. How is she?

Quicksilver:....

Quicksilver: It's bad on all fronts... After Nova and that demon took Vision, Billy and Tommy...

Quicksilver: She's been losing it...

Quicksilver: Her powers are going wild. Our so called father is who knows where. Ace is...

Quicksilver: *sigh*

Quicksilver: Things are only getting worse. The governments and the Avengers are no good for her...

Quicksilver: I wish I could run her away somewhere safe, but there's no where to go...

Crystal: Pietro...

(The next day.....)

*SPLASH*

The D-Men having left the moon, returned to earth, splashing their Helicarrier into the sea to float across the sea. They raced to the flight deck to enjoy the fresh air.

Craig: *sigh* Earth! I missed ya!

Kitty: Space was interesting, but home is home.

Laura: Hm. I didn't really mind antigravity.

Sanji: Well with your bone density, that's a given.

Laura: Tryin' to start something child magnet?!

Sanji: I'm just saying... I can make a diet for you.

Laura/Sanji:(glares)

Tak: Enjoy the sun. I shall create an AI to pilot the Carrier for us.

Guido: Yeah... I don't think I wanna crash into something again....

Lila: My good wheelchair bound friend! I would like to put in a request.

Tak: Super....

Robin: I think this spot would be perfect to sunbathe.

Kitty: Let's go find swimsuits... Hopefully there is something...

Sanji:(smirks) I'll prepare beverages for you two.

Laura: With ice? Sparkling, hot, cold? These are very important details, you should ask.

Sanji:... Oh. Am I supposed to laugh? My apologies.

*SPLASH*

D-Men;!!?

Kitty: Noooooo! We JUST got out of trouble!!!

*Chunk*

An anchor hooks onto the side of the carrier. The chain is pulled tight as someone climbs up it. The D-Men get ready to fight. Laura pops her claws, Guido flexes, Tak turns his wheelchair into robot arms, Robin crosses her arms, Sanji taps his shoes against the deck, Lila rests her guitar on her shoulder, as Luffy picks his nose.

A large muscular man with grey hair arose from the side of the ship.

Wearing all white on the outside, he tossed his white to reveal a blue shirt underneath. Loosening his tie he turned to the teens and the two adults.

(The Hero of the Navy; Monkey D. Garp)

Garp: Alright you alien-

Luffy:...

Garp:...

Luffy: Eh?

Garp:(smirks) Luffy...

Luffy:!!??

Dashing past the D-Men with incredible speed that caught them off guard, Garp dropped his fist upon Luffy's head.

*WHAM*

Luffy: GYAAAAA!?!! OW, OW, OW!!!

Holding his as his skull throbbed with pain, Luffy was left rolling on the deck.

Sanji: He hurt Luffy, with a punch!?

Kitty: That shouldn't be possible! He's made of rubber!

Grap: Fools! A fist of love can bypass any power!

Luffy: What the hell gramps!?! Why'd ya hit me!!?

D-Men: "Gramps"?

Grap: Because you ran off and made so much trouble for me!

Luffy: How is that my fault?

Grap: Don't be smart with me, young man!

Kitty/Craig: Luffy? Smart...?

Garp: You were supposed to become a great soldier!

Luffy: Soldiers are lame! I'm an adventurer!

Grap: Why you little!!!

Grabbing him by the scruff of his shirt, Garp shakes Luffy wildly.

Luffy: AAAAAHHHH!??!

Grap: RaaaaaAAAH!

Luffy/Grap: Zzzzzzz...

They both fell asleep.

Craig: My god... They are related.

Grap: Hm? Oh yeah...

*WHAM*

Luffy: GYYAAAAH!?! YOU JERK!

Having knocked his grandson to the ground, Garp sat on the deck, crossing his legs. The D-Men are unsure whether or not to be on guard.

But once Luffy sat up, and crossed his legs too, the vibe indicated that there would no longer be conflict for now.

Robin: This man is familiar... Luffy, is he perchance the Navy hero Garp?

Luffy: I dunno.... His name is Garp. And he's my grandpa.

Kitty: Your grandpa is a navy hero?!

Craig: What brings you here, sir?

Garp:(picks nose)

Garp: Well since Luffy's trail went cold, I was back on patrol. Then me and my men saw this ship land in the water...

Garp: Assumed it was aliens, and I swam over since the ship was too slow to beat everyone up.

Robin: Luffy's trail went cold?

Garp: I've been following this byproduct of my seed ever since he ran away.

Garp: I was right on your tail till that Spider-fella got in my way. Then I almost caught up at that S.W.O.R.D incident.

Garp: But of course, when I'm not looking, I find him immediately.

Luffy: Hmph!

Garp: Anyway... Have you see your dad, Luffy? I heard you were both in Germany.

Luffy: Dad? I have a Dad?

Garp: So you didn't see him? Fair enough, he would have only wrecked your chances of becoming a soldier even more....

Garp: Since he's the notorious leader of the mutant Revolution, Dragon.

Garp: I'm lucky no one knows about Red Hair and you...

Robin: Dragon? Red Hair? Those two are Emperor's!

Luffy: Emperor's?

Sanji: Robin told us before our surprise trip to Germany.

Craig: He was sleeping...

Sanji: Oh yeah...

Robin: The Emperors are the mutants with the biggest factions with Mutants.

Robin: Professor X wants peace between all. Magneto fights for mutant supremacy....

Robin: Dragon wishes for equality but does so with violence and is willing to abolish governments to get what he wants.

Robin: And Red Hair Shanks is just a big mystery.

Luffy:(smiles) Shanks is cool! He gave me this hat!

Robin: I see...

Guido: Jeez, Luffy, you sure do know a lot of powerful people...

Laura: Oi, old man.

Garp: Hm?

Laura: What's your plan then? To capture Luffy?

Garp: Hmmmm...

Garp: Not today. Things are too wild at the moment. I'd only put Luffy in as much danger as Ace is in...

Luffy: Hm? What's wrong with Ace?

Garp: He's been captured and put into the Raft.

D-Men:!?

Laura: Looks like we're going to go bust him out.

Luffy: No. Ace would get super mad if I came to rescue him.

Luffy:(smiles) He's beat me up and yell at me for getting in the way of his adventure!

Kitty: Are you sure?

Luffy: Ace will be fine.

Garp: Good. As long as you aren't getting involved... I can leave you alone for now.

Walking over to his jacket, he picks it up, before taking his anchor and tossing it over his shoulder like a handbag.

Grap: Remember what I taught you, Luffy!

Luffy: You taught me something?

Garp: Heh... Little twirp...

*Splooosh*

Garp swam off as a Quinjet arose from below.

The Stepford Cuckoos then revealed themselves after sneaking abored the D-Carrier.

Cuckoos: Thought he'd never leave.

Guido: Huh!?

Sanji: What are they doing here?

Phoebe: Taking one of your jets.

Sophie: We appreciate the ride.

Guido: But... Wait... I thought...

Sophie: To answer your questions in order....

Cuckoos: No. No. Yes. Maybe next time.

Guido: Aww...

The sisters stopped in front of Guido, they waved at him to lower himself to their level. They each then laid a kiss upon his cheek.

Celeste: Thanks for believing in us...

Esme: You were completely wrong about us...

Irma: But you're sweet as candy. Too sweet for us....

Phoebe: So we'll take this chance and figure out who we want to be.

Sophie: If you see mother, tell her we all the said hi.

Cuckoos: Toodles ~

They take the Quinjet and fly off.

Sanji was kneeling on the ground, smacking his fist against the deck.

Sanji: Why!? Why does he get the harem!? He's only twelve!

Laura: Pft. Guess we know who the actual player is....

Guido:(rubs cheek) Ew....

(Elsewhere......)

*WOOOOOSHHHH*

Quicksilver arrived in a dark room. Through the bars of this dungeon-esq prison area, Ace was chained to the walls with a mutant power dampening collar.

Ace: Get out of here...

Quicksilver: I made a deal to get here. And what I had to do pisses me off...

Ace:...

Quicksilver: I think I met that little brother of yours... Luffy.

Ace: And?

Quicksilver: He's something....

Ace:(smiles) I know, right? Did you tell him...?

Quicksilver: Nah... He might be yours, but that doesn't make him mine.

....

....

....

Quicksilver: Ace... They're going to....

Quicksilver: I don't have the power to stop it.

Ace: I don't mind... I just need to make sure Nova doesn't get away with what she did...!

Quicksilver: Damn it Ace...!

*KACHUNK*

*Step*

*Step*

*Step*

Ace/Quicksilver:!?

Ace: What are you doing here cuffed...

Ace: Jinbe!?
