-I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE OR ANY OF THE IMAGES-

(Happy birthday to our favourite rubber man! Hopefully by the time I finish writing this it's may 5th as I planned lol) (for me it's still may 5th! I made it! >:D)

(Btw: F.Marco = Future Marco)

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

"What in the name of Oda is going on yoi?" Future Marco turned to Luffy

"I did tell you about going to that weird crossing island, didn't I?" Luffy tilted his head

"No, you didn't" F.Marco sighs

"Oops! I forgot!"

F.Marco rubs his temples and took in the situation in silence for a few seconds

He tried his hardest to look unbothered but still couldn't help tear up a bit seeing Whitebeard, Ace and Thatch

"It's good to see you all yoi" F.Marco fixes his glasses

Whitebeard laughs

"Never expected to see you when the brat said to follow the vivre card, how are you doing, son?" 

F.Marco looks at his late adoptive father, holding back tears, doing his best to look completely fine 

"I'm doing great, pops!" 

"We have 2 chickens now! wooo!" Thatch threw both of his arms in the air

"Shut it yoi!" Marco hit him over the head

"Haha! Yep! double the chickens now yoi!" F.Marco joked back

There was silence

"IT'S AN IMPOSTOR! THAT'S NOT MARCO! NO WAY!"

"MARCO JOKED BACK! WHAT!? IS THE SKY COMING DOWN?!"

"AAAAAA!"

F.Marco chuckles as his family overreacted 

"Everyone shut it!" Past Marco glared at his future self

F.Marco simply shrugged, completely unbothered

"Anyways, I'm assuming you want me to contact your crew and tell them your fine yoi?" F.Marco nudged the straw hatted man

"Yep! Pineapple man is always so smart!" Luffy grinned

"It's Marco yoi" Both Marco's said with a sigh

The only response from the rubber boy was a giggle (A shishishi if you will)

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

"They said that they're sailing towards an inhabited island to meet up with us, I've explained the situation to them" F.Marco came out to the deck to inform everyone

"Man, I miss them!" Luffy laughed

"You'll see them soon enough" Ace knocked the straw hat back and ruffled the wearer's head

"Ace!" Luffy whinned

"We should arrive a bit earlier than them if we set sail tomorrow" F.Marco said

"I'll go set the route yoi" Marco walked off to the navigation room

"It's still kinda weird having 2 Marco's" Ace spoke 

"You'll get used to it yoi" 

"Oh yeah! how are the rest of the crew?" Ace turned to the phoenix 

F.Marco was stunned by the question, trying to come up with a believable answer

He had gotten the memo when he first arrived that he shouldn't mention anything from the future when Luffy gave him a look

"I'm sure they're doing fine" F.Marco responded with a smile

Ace looked suspiciously at the man for a few seconds

A loud splash was heard in the distance

"Whoa!" Ace barely managed to not tumble to the ground by grabbing onto the railing and nabbing Luffy by the back of his cardigan

"What's going on yoi?" F.Marco looked towards the sea

"There's sea kings!" 

"What?" F.Marco ran towards the railing "That's not normal, there shouldn't be any sea king around this area"

A booming voice cut through the murmur "What's going on my children?" 

"Sea kings pops! giant ones!"

"Crap! they're going for Zunesha yoi!"

The sea kings approached aggressively towards the giant elephant

Zunesha made no move to defend themselves, unable to do anything but keep advancing forwards

"Frikin-!" F.Marco called for his flames 

"Don't pineapple, you can't deal with so many" Luffy stopped F.Marco before he could go off flying

"Luf! we can't just leave Zunesha yoi" 

"I know, I wasn't going to" Luffy watched as the sea kings started attacking the poor elephant

The straw-hatted man took a big gulp of air

"RUN! ELEPHANT!"

"Luffy what are you doing?!" Ace looked incredulously at his younger brother

"RUN!"

"YOU GOTTA RUN!" 

Luffy kept yelling

"ZUNESHA! I'M TELLING YOU TO RUN UNTIL YOU'RE SAFE!" 

The ancient creature's eyes seemed to light up ever so slightly

The waves moved back and forth

With a howl

Zunesha began running

The Moby shook violently for a few minutes as the waves calmed down from the force of the creatures movement

"What the hell"

"SHISHISHI!"

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

"I see the island" Thatch stretched

"I can't wait for Ace to meet my crew!" Luffy munched on some meat

Ace simply smiled and patted Luffy on the head

The Moby Dick approached docked near the beach beside a thick forest

"Land ho!" Luffy cheered

The Whitebeard pirates settled down on the inhabited island

 The chefs started were getting ready to prepare lunch when someone shouted

"Ship incoming!" 

"Are they marines!?" 

"Doesn't look like it! It's got a black flag!"

"What does the ship look like yoi?" Marco took some binoculars

"Is that...a lion yoi?"

"A lion?" Luffy looked up from the roasting meat

"Ah! That's Sunny!" Luffy happily ran towards the shore

"Sunny?" Ace came up to stand beside his brother

"Yep! My ship's name is the Thousand Sunny!" 

"It sure looks like a fun ship" Thatch whistled as he looked towards the bright smiling lion headed ship approaching the island

"Whoa what is that light at the back for?" Haruta asked

"It's not a light! it's an engine!" Luffy happily replied

"Engine? on a ship yoi?" 

"For a coup-"

"COUP DE BURST!!" 

"GOD DAMN IT FRANKY! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO WARN US FIRST!" 

"OOPS! I'M SUUUUPER SORRYY!"

Jaws were dropped as the Thousand Sunny fricking flew towards them

"It can fly!?" Ace picked up his jaw after a few seconds

Luffy laughed at everyone's faces

"Luffy!" A high pitched voice was heard and suddenly the rubber man got a face full of fur and fell onto the sand

A muffled "Chopper!" came from said man as he sat up

"Are you okay!? you aren't hurt anywhere? you've been gone for forever!!" Chopper ran circles around his captain, checking for any wounds

"I'm fine! Chopper!" Luffy insisted

"Whoa! he really is a fluffy one!" Ace crouched down beside Luffy

Chopper squeaked

"Ace!" Chopper teared up

The fire man also got a face full of fur

"Pah!" Ace pulled the little reindeer off

"It's nice to meet you too, I'm assuming you're one of Luffy's friends?" Ace grinned

"Mhm!" Chopper composed himself "I'm Tony Tony Chopper! I'm the doctor!"

"Chopper!" A long nosed man in overalls came running

"Usopp!" Luffy shouted

"Luffy!" The man shouted back

The Whitebeard's watched as the rest of the straw hat pirates soon unboarded

"You haven't caused any trouble have you?" An orange haired woman scolded the young captain

"Nope! I promise I didn't!" 

"Fufufu, don't you think we should introduce ourselves, Nami?" 

"Oh yeah!"

"I'm Nami, the navigator for these idiots"

"The scary one?" A few Whitebeards asked, earning them a glare from the red head

"I'm the great Usopp!"

"Oh you're the liar!" Haruta quipped

"Wha! liar?!"

"I'm superrrr Franky!" Franky struck his iconic pose

"A robot!" Starry eyed pirates looked towards Franky in admiration

"Sanji, I'm the cook" The man lit a cigarette "Oh my! Mellorine!" He wiggled his way to White Bay, who looked at the man weirded out

"Yohohoho! I'm Brook! The musician for the straw hat pirates. Nice to meet you all!" 

"AAAA! AN ACTUAL SKELETON!"

"I THOUGHT ACE'S LIL BROTHER WAS JOKING!"

"Yohohoho!" The musician laughed amused

"My name's Nico Robin, I'm the archeologist"

"Thank god! a normal human!" said pirate then screamed when two hands popped up from his head 

"fufufu!"

"It's nice to see you all again, I'm the helmsman for the straw hats" Jimbei greeted

"Jimbei! old friend! how've you been?" Whitebeard laughed

"It's been great, Whitebeard-san"

"I'm Roronoa Zoro, the man who'll become the greatest swordsman" The green haired man introduced himself

"The greatest swordsman, huh? Up for a spar later on?" Vista stroked his mustache

Zoro grinned and nodded

"Shishishi! I've missed you guys!" Luffy wrapped his rubbery limbs around the straw hat's for a group hug

Ace looked on with soft eyes

"Now that we're all here" Luffy grinned "Let's have a party!"

"Aye!"
