Two years have passed since the war of the best unfolded at Marineford, after Kuma's actions during the first arrival at Sabaody, the Straw-Hats were sent all over the world with prior intent to meet back in two days. After an event caused by Luffy, his Nakama received a message behind his actions to meet again at the promised place in two years time rather than three days. After these years of training and absence from the world the Straw-Hats venture to reunite at the Sabaody with new experiences and skills under their belts, ready to put them to the test and explore the New World as the Straw-Hat pirates! As the continuation of their adventure awaits them with this first step! A certain straw hatted pirates makes his way to the island with strong expectations and new-found strength in himself after these two years, arriving the island aboard a warlords ship with hope and eagerness to see his Nakama boiling and ready to explode!

'Oioi! Hancock! How long now?'
'It's just coming into view my loooove!~'
'I don't see anything!'
'Oooh!~ You're so oblivious its adorable!'
A large sigh followed the Warlord to fall to her knees, the directionally confused individual turning to see the woman fall as the tree-line of Sabaody was noticed at the front of the ship rather than at the side. 'Oh, thank you Hancock.' he moved to the front of the ship patting the keeled woman on the back as she passed, her entire body jolting as if she had been shocked with joy, launching her head up into the air with a scream as she fell backwards with her hand on her forehead mumbling to herself. The teen's attention was locked however, the Grooves he had once been to two years ago drew closer and closer towards the vessel, the speed of their arrival leaving the straw-hatted pirate with a larger and larger grin on his face. 'I wonder if the others are already there... Oooh~ I wonder how strong they've gotten these past two years?' Luffy's verbalised curiosities were leaving him impatient, his eagerness to reunite with his crew was unfathomable, not to mention their next adventure was right around the corner! The New world was so close now! 'Luffeeee!~' The alluring voice beckoned once most from behind him, turning in confusion only to be met with a gigantic bag displayed before him. 'That thing is huge!' His natural urge to test himself came into play, it seemed Hancock was listing things she had placed inside it though Luffy was honestly more interested in trying to lift it, an easy task but none the less a nuisance to hold onto. 'Idiot! Its too large!' A smaller woman yelled from beside them as she pointed her stick at the bag. The other female warriors began to pull bits and bobs from out of the bags large openings, closing it up as Luffy wiggled back into the straps.
'Yosh! This is fine.' He voiced as he wobbled from side to side getting a feel for the bag, he stopped for a moment, sniffing around the air like a dog before looking to the bag he was wearing. 'Thank you for all the meat.' He bowed as the smaller woman's mouth opened in giant proportions in shock 'He smelt it through the bag!' Luffy's attention was once again turned, a tap on the should spinning him on the spot as he was handed a hooded cape and something else, which was instead held by Boa with a serious look on her face. Luffy put on the cape, trying to peer around her hands as she suddenly burst into a demonstration. 'And use this! Like this!' She said with a concerned tone, placing the large not and moustache to her face in example. 'Haha, I won't be needing that!' He was handed it regardless, taking it with a subtle nod and typical grin. 'Take it just in case, the Sabaody has become very dangerous since you were last here.' Boa was continued by her sisters, as they approached from her side.
'Marines are keeping a constant watch on the area for suspicious activity.'
'Keep hidden, people still think that you are dead.'
'Yupyup, thank you.' He repeated to each of the Kuja warriors words of advice while Hancock adjusted his hood. 'You will have to go by yourself from here, in case we are noticed.' A nod and grin of acceptance and he was off, dragging the bag and throwing down to the boat forcing it to fall much faster as Luffy fell from the main vessel right behind his belongings and onto the rather stylish smaller row boat. 'Oooi!~ Thanks for everything Hancock!' He yelled to the ship as it slowly began to drift into the Sabaody's waves. Numerous shouts and waves coming from the ship in return. 'I'll see you again soon!' There wasn't any response for that however, simply a large scream as a older woman's voice cursed Boa's actions. Luffy waves for a little longer before climbing up onto his bag which rested in the center of the ship, crossing his legs and sitting upon it as he folded his arms and stared at the approaching island, attempting to look patient to people even though there was no one watching. But he found it hard to contain himself after all, only the words of the Kuja moments ago steering him away from simply screaming around the Grooves the moment he landed. 'I could be the first one... I should go visit Rayleigh first then, I haven't seen him in months.' He contemplated to himself to burn time, he silenced his many questions which he was more than happy to ask thing air, adjusting his hat underneath his hood and pulling his disguise closer around his body. 'Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook.' He clenched his fist, his large grin revealing itself once again as he laughed quietly to himself.
'I can't wait to see you all again!'_________________________________
For the sake of so many changes I decided it was wise to simply reboot the thread and get it rolling much faster than before in hopes to lure others to the open positions we have left. If you wan't to make use of your previous posts here if they were still accurate and you don't want to generally waste words, simply paste them into this thread instead. Sorry for the inconvenience!
