The sun was setting outside of the mist and at that very moment, Whetton who had made it out and onto land was sitting on his ass after being kicked by Sanji. "Y-You scum! Don't think you can attack the man get away with it!" He was shouting at both the cook and doctor. "The city militia will make you pay 90,000,000 beli! You're gonna regret this!"
"I don't give a shit about them." It was then when Sanji destroyed a booth beside him, completely made of stone which his bare legs. "We already kicked their asses."
"What?! Paying taxes is the civilians' duty!" The man seemed completely shocked upon hearing that.
"Why would pirates have a duty to pay taxes!?" That came back as a rhetorical question.
"W-Well..."
"Sanji!" Chopper suddenly shouted out the cooks name, as he was looking off to where the Rainbow Mist was. "The Rainbow Mist... is fading!"
"What?" Or where it had been.
"Luffy and the others... what happens to them?" The reindeer was asking all panicked as their Friends were still inside. It had been then when Whetton bursted into laugher.
"Now they'll never be coming out!" The old man was shouting completely pleased with this. "No matter how hare you try, there is no weakness to my power!" Little did they know that something was appearing above the mountain that sat onlooking the town. However, strange sounds belonging to the wind occurring from behind caught the attention of someone that had sensitive hearings due to being a reindeer,
"Up there!" Chopper shouted after turning around to see what to look like the Rainbow Mist the the sky above the mountain.
"What?!" Sanji turned to be shocked at the sight as well.
"What's going on!?" Whetton was just as shocked, especially when something back emerging from within. It was the Going Merry that began to flying around and around like in a whirlwind or whirlpool, until it had been sent flying at high speed over the top of the town before landing into the ocean where it should belong. But because of that the Merry started falling apart.
"The Merry!" Chopper shouted in both shock of its sudden appearance and the fact that she was coming apart, again.
"Are those guys alright?" Sanji was stunned and worried for the others. Meanwhile, it appeared the the wind was behind pulled back into the mist.
"My mansion!" Whetton was shouting as the wind began sucking up the mansion, that sat at the top, in as well. "It's stealing my wealth!" As the mansion was being lifted, money began flying out and down to the town. The mist had then completely disappeared once again.
"Nami! Iris!" Sanji
"Guys!" And Chopper both were shouting upon noticing that everyone was on the Harbour completely fine.
"No, how can this be!? Our ship..." although, Usopp was crying at the site of the Merry, while Iris was patting him across the back.
"Sanji, long time no see!" Luffy said happily after being dragged out of the water by Zoro as the pair ran towards the group.
"Nami!" Sanji was fanning towards her, but wasn't in the mood as she punch him into the ground.
"Why...!?" Chopper was confused out of his mind.
"Ugh, I'm so pissed off!" She was yelling while stomping away.
"Why, Nami....?" Sanji was completely covered in dirt, but now he was a huge bump on his head where blood was falling from.
"It is probably best to stay away from her." Iris had spoke up to the pair. "All the treasure she gathered on the deck had been blown away due to the explosion." It had been explained to them and Chopper took off running to find behind the woman. However, soon the echoing sounds of a cannon had caused all to turn around.
"That's far enough, Pirates!" Where they found themselves looking at a Marines' ship.
"The Marines?" Sanji was completely confused.
"Those're the guys who were chasing us before!" Usopp said, remembering the ship from before they arrived on the island. That's when an old marine, older man with blond hair started walking over towards us. He possessed great muscles, wearing a common marine uniform, below wearing black tank-top, he was also wearing dark sunglasses
"Save us!" Phillip had run up to the man and fell to one knee. "These villains are trying to steal the citizens' property!" He was extremely ungrateful after the crew had just saved his life.
"This jewel was stolen by pirate 100 years ago and believed to be lost forever. The Ring of Queen Illusia." The marine had grabbed ahold of his waist. "Why do you have it?" The Marine asked Phillip.
"Well, you see..." The man didn't know how to answer.
"I hope you didn't steal it." The man said.
"N-no! That's absurd! This treasure was hidden within Ape's Concert!" Phillip had jumped up.
"Right! Right!" Lake went and defended his father. "We got it out of an old shipwreck!"
"I see. So can I take that to mean it belongs to no one?" And since that were the case, it would be the property of the World Government.
"What!?" They were both shocked,
"Major. We have discovered a large stockpile of treasure we believe to be salvaged." A woman with a somewhat a droopy face, and short purple hair with a Marine headband, saluted to the man. She was wearing a standard Marine coat over a sea green turtle neck with stripes running down it, along with blue pants. Iris' eyes had come to widen as she were looking at them as she felt familiarity.
"Very well. The Marines will confiscate all of it." This had been said by the Major.
"Hold it!" However, Whetton came ranting towards him, with an axe in hand. "I won't let you touch my treasure! It's mine!"
"Treasures without an owner all belong to the World Government. If you continue on this course of action, you will be considered a pirate." He had informed him
"That's just dandy! I used to be a pirate anyway!" That have been shouted out, without hesitation. "I take whatever I want through force!" Whetton pulled back the axe and swung it at the Major.
"Look out!" Luffy and Usopp yelled. But there wasn't a need to.
"I must act accordingly with this situation. I hope you don't mind, Pirate Whetton." The Major lifted his hand in a flicking position. With just one flick, Whetton was sent flying.
"Could it be? Are you...?" Professor Henzo question himself, looking at the Major in shock. The old marines had then removed his sunglasses. "Rapanui!"
"No way!" Of course the rest of the crew was in disbelief.
"Didn't I say we'd come back?" The woman walked up behind Rapanui.
"Isoka!" Professor Henzo yelled, and she nodded.
"Arrest Whetton And his gang!" Rapanui ordered.
"Aye!" The once small little boy called Longo, was now taller, with muscles and longer blonde hair. Pukau was still slightly wider, but now he was a tanned, rotund man with curly dark brown hair. Akibi who was once tall but thin, was now man of average height, with his still black hair, but now he had a small black mustache. As was ordered, they started talking Whetton and his group into the ship.
"You guys are still alive?" Usopp still couldn't believe it.
"I'm so glad." Iris had slight tears of joy in her eyes.
"After the explosion, we were thrown out too. But it was the world from 50 years ago." Rapanui had answered.
"As I thought." Robin was still trying to grasp the whole situation but she least understood what had happened. "The Mist was able to completely bend the flow of time."
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner!?" Professor Henzo yelled, wanting to know about all this sooner.
"To defeat Whetton with all the power he amassed, we need a greater power. Yea, we need the power of the Marines. That's what we realised. But getting that power sure took a long time" Rapanui came to explain this to them..
"I see."
"But even wearing this Marine uniform, here and now, I'm a Pumpkin Pirate. Henzo, your friend. Now and forever." It sure was a touching Reunion, so touching that Professor Henzo not only in tears, but the crew happily watching them. But that soon changed, fast. "And... I forgot to mention, the Straw Hat Pirates are also under arrest!" Rapanui had turned to glare at them.
"What!?" And that shocked everyone, even Robin, but Luna was didn't seem to care
"You cold-hearted fiend!" Usopp shouted to him. "And after I gave you lunch, you jerk!" From behind Zoro, who had a blunt face looking at him.
"Oh my." And Iris that was touching her cheek, surprised.
"The Marines have made it their sworn duty to uphold justice, and will not allow wanted men to escape." Rapanui told him, "But... what a bind!" He started yelling grabbing his head. "We have to transport Whetton and his gang to the Marine Headquarters! The Straw Hat Pirates may escape under our very noses! We just don't have enough people! But by the time we can make a round trip it could be one or two days before we can return! And if they've escaped in that time, there's nothing we can do! AHH, I GIVE UP! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" He started running to the ship.
"You did that on purpose..." The entire group said watching him run.
"That's right." However, Isoka turned back to the crew and began rummaging through her coat as she headed towards Iris. "This belongs to you." A book had been held out towards her.
"So I wasn't mistaken." Iris took the book while looking at the woman. "I felt like you looked familiar. It was because of one of mother's picture in her Journal."
"That's right." Isoka had began to speak. "We meet when Lily first joined the Marines. No mater how we looked at her, there was no mistake that she was your mother." This was being explained and the crew was pretty surprised at this. "Hearing of our story, she figured that we would meet again. She told me to pass you that before she left the marines. I hope that it helps you." And with that, she left to follow the others.

The next day had come and with a little repairs, not exactly great ones but it would at least prevent the Going Merry to take on water, the ship took off setting sail. Henzo saw them off as they left, when the Marines ship passed by the Going Merry, the kids, or should it be said adults were saluting at them while they were waving in return. The rest of the crew were now at vol of the Going Merry, expected Zoro, who was training.
"Well, That was a cool place!" Luffy said happily as he was stilling of Merry's head.
"Really? That ship's graveyard was a terrible place!" Nami disagreed with him.
"Nah, it was terrible and all, but...I'd like to go back something!" The Captain did agree with her on that part.
"Was it really that cool?" Chopper asked curious.
"It's definitely something interesting to write." This had been said by Iris

down to him. That was then when something began to fall from above. However, it wasn't long till whatever it was began raining down.
"Rain?" Zoro thought looking around.
"This... ain't rain." Sanji had said after looking at it a bit closely.
"Hail?" Usopp said, we all looked up.
"I don't think so." Iris stated as she grabbed ahold of one the falling pieces in her hand and looked down at it. "It looks like..." She came to say a bit confused and looked up with the rest of the crew, who all turned pale before...
"AHHH..."
