"Let's start then. Start asking"

Everyone turned towards the Straw Hat Pirates who looked at the cloaked figure seriously.

"The first question is, where's Luffy right now?!" Usopp asked, pointing his finger at the cloaked figure though it was obvious that he felt fear towards the unknown power this figure held.

Chopper was hiding behind Usopp and stared as the figure fell silent before smiling.

"Luffy...Is burried at the depths of this place. Slowly, his memories and experience was being destroyed. Your purpose is exactly to save him.."

"B-Being destroyed?! What does that mean?!", Nami asked in fear, afraid of the worst case possible.

The figure chuckled, "Is that the second question you're asking?"

"No!" Robin quickly answered. "Our next question is about those orbs. What does the colors means?" She asked in determination.

"O-Oi, Robin. Shouldn't we first asked how to save Luffy?" Nami asked in hesitation, but seeing that Robin shook her head, she waited for an explanation.

"She clearly would explain it." Robin said.

When the figure heard that, she laugh like crazy and grinned widely. "Well, true. First of all, You are all here because you have met Luffy before and the memories you were in probably take a big part. To be honest, not every person in his life was invited, but some were granted entry and everyone here is who I'm referring to."

The figure then pointed at the orbs above, "It's simple, really. If you wanted to get out of here and save him, all you have to do is fixed the broken orbs here."

"And how do we fixed it?" Ace asked.

Zoro placed a hand on his chin, "How about we glue it." He suggested.

"Let's try to piece it together." Sanji said.

"Idiots." The cloaked person said.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" The two straw hats both yelled.

Everyone expect the cloaked figure to be angry, since it seemed like she's quick to anger. However, to their surprise, the cloaked figure just laugh and look up.

"If you noticed, you cannot fight each other in here." Obviously, the person was looking at the side of the Marines before releasing a sigh.

"To answer the next question, each group could picked an orb with this size." The figure said, extending her hand and a one inch size orb appeared floating on her palm. "Every orb contained a memory. And the color signifies what kind of memory it is. Some orb has its color mixed and some were just plain part of the memory." The figure explained before closing her hand, the orb disappearing in her hand. "However, there's a single shattered orb that you also need to piece together. A secret memory none of you that's in here knew. If you managed to piece it in perfection, you will be able to restore half of the broken ones and your job will become more easier."

"A secret memory only Luffy knew?" Sanji muttered, confuse and curious about that said memory.

Chopper blink, "Wait, What does a secret memory mean?" He asked and looked at Robin.

Seeing that Chopper was looking at her which means she's the one being asked, Robin blink. "Perhaps it's a secret of Luffy. After all, his past was something we barely knew so there's probably some kind of dark past he hides."

"Huh? So sh*tty captain knew how to keep a secret?", Sanji asked, raising his eyebrow.

Zoro rolled his eyes, "Says the sh*tty cook." He muttered, which was heard by Sanji of course.

"What was that marimo?!"

"Who are you calling Marimo, swirly brow?!"

*Bam!*

"Shut up, both of you!" Nami yelled.

On the other side, which was Germa who was placed near them and also Sanji's siblings, felt their lips twitched unknowingly. After all, who doesn't know they looked nearly the same as Sanji?

Besides, when the Straw Hats saved Sanji, Zoro wasn't even there and none of this stupid name callings and arguments was witnessed. Every insults related to Sanji's face could also be applied to the three other Princes of Vinsmoke because the four of them were twins.

Usopp, on the other hand, placed his chin on his hand and think out loud. "If you think about it, Luffy actually never talks about his past. We just find it out in luck because his family members appeared and start mentioning it."

"Well, no matter what Luffy-san experience in the past, he's still the Captain of this crew and our friends. Yohohoho." Brook said, causing the members of the Straw Hats and some friends to smile.

Franky nodded, "Well, that sounds just right."

"Well, are you done?" The figure asked boredly, "Yes? Good! Now, each group has to chose one, now."

Everyone stared blankly at the figure when she suddenly asked and answered it herself, not caring whether the people was opposed with her idea. Well, it's not like they could do something about it.

The orbs, like they were being dictated, began to moved. The larger pieces hovered above, sky high, while the smaller ones lower a little. The orbs divide itself and grouped each other based on size.

With this new formation, everyone would be able to choose easily.

"Which one do we choose yoi?" Marco asked, looking at Ace for a certain reason, because clearly, it was his brother's memory.

Ace frowned and look up. His eyes settling into a white orbed.

"Let's settle for this one." Ace said, reaching out for that orb. Before he could touch it, however, a glass suddenly swallowed and surround the orb, covering it.

"E-Eh?!" Ace yelp in surprise and his eyes widen when the glass ball that have the orb inside started to fall.

"Whoops!" Before it could fall completely, Thatch catched it just in time, a sigh escaping his lips. "Whew, that was close." Thatch said.

Seeing that Thatch managed to catched it, Ace grinned. "Nice catch, Thatch."

Thatch grinned and gave a thumbs up while the Whitebeard Pirates laugh in delight, feeling that everything was the same as before.

About two minutes have passed and everyone has chosen one each.

Ace picked for the Whitebeard Pirates. Garp, obviously, picked in stands for the Marines; After all, it was his biological Grandson's memories.

Law, Kidd and Bege were the ones to picked for their own crew since they were the Captains, the same for Red Hair Pirates who let Shanks decide on what to picked.

The Vinsmoke siblings let Ichiji decide, while the group of Three (Bartolomeo, Cavendish and Bon Clay) let Bartolomeo chose reluctantly because he kept glaring at them saying they can't just picked randomly in his 'Senpai's memories.

The revolutionaries obviously let Sabo decide, while Sabo asked for Dragon's permission, considering that his Boss was Luffy's own father. Dragon just grinned and let Sabo picked, since he knew how close his son is to Sabo.

As for the Warlords which only have six members (because Law and Jinbe was either on their crew or wasn't part of the shichibukai anymore) they started an argument and it ended up with Mihawk choosing for the group instead.

It's just that Buggy wanted to picked an orb because it looked like a gem and Boa Hancock just had to kicked him so he couldn't placed his hands at any orb of the orbs, claiming the she's the only one who could chose which one to picked because it was her 'Beloved's memory. Then, Moria just have to comment how stupid this is and for Crocodile to state he wanted to destroy this orbs, which resulted for an Angry Boa Hancock and then four of them, actually three, excluding Buggy who quickly lost, started a fight.

Because of the commotion, the Cloaked Figure has to bound the four of them and let Mihawk chose instead.

This left the straw hat, who let Zoro decide which to picked since he's the acting Vice-Captain of the crew.

"Now that all of you has picked one each, let's start with Luffy's own crew, shall we?"

Everyone focus their attention at the crew. But it seemed like something was going on and everyone listened to their conversation.

"Do you think it's alright to just watched Luffy's memory like this? Isn't this supposed to be private?" Usopp asked uncertain, rubbing the back of his head as he felt guilty for a reason.

Brook tilt his head, "Well, if you think about it, we were indeed doing this without Luffy-san's permission."

Jinbe frowned, "Well, it's not like we can do something about it." He stated, causing Sanji to sigh.

"If we don't do this, something bad will happen to Luffy." He said, causing the others to stiffen.

"You have a point but...what if that secret Luffy never told anyone was something he doesn't wanted anyone to know?" Usopp asked. He really felt guilty about this.

Franky click his tongue and thinked, "Now that you talked about it, I would be mad if someone actually invades my memory without permission."

Listening to their words, the people around also started to think about it and, indeed, they feel guilty but some remained uncaring...*ahem* obviously it's Germa......

Having enough of the useless discussion they were having, which he clearly think to be stupid since it doesn't helped the situation, Zoro just glared at his crew mates quickly before speaking.

"Stop with this useless talk! Didn't you all heard that Luffy's memories was being destroyed? Besides, it's not like we could so something because the only person who could tell us where Luffy is and how to bring him back was exactly that person sitting right there." Zoro harshly said, pointing at the figure who grinned at them. "If we wanted this to be done and to get Luffy back, then all we have to do was to listen to what this person has to say. The moment you feel that she's telling us something ridiculous then just attacked her!"

Everyone was fascinated by the Straw Hats Vice-Captain's speech but Usopp, who has a sense of high guilt, has a blank face along with some people.

"But, Zoro, everything she's telling us sounded ridiculous to me." Usopp said, causing Zoro to glare at him.

"Well, Zoro's right. Besides, that person has a full control in this place." Robin stated, causing Usopp to sigh and reluctantly nodded.

The figure, seeing that their small issue was already done, laugh, once again gaining the full attention of everyone.

"You know, allow me to inform you that even if you don't choose one, I'll gladly do so in your place. Even if you doesn't want to, you all have to watched his memories if you wanted to save him."

"Then what If we doesn't want to save him?" Niji suddenly asked, causing some to glare at him while some (some Marine's who doesn't seem to like the idea of saving a Pirate) nodded.

"Niji, you bastard!" Sanji yelled, attempting to walked towards his brother and beat him up. Fortunately, Usopp and Chopper managed to hold him to prevent him from doing something.

Niji just glance at Sanji and looked at the figure, who doesn't seemed bother by the question.

"You will, if you wanted to leave."

That remarked cause everyone to remember that this matter wasn't only about Saving the captain of the Straw Hats, but also for their own because they couldn't leave.

Realizing that, everyone who doesn't want to save Luffy accepted their fate and reluctantly agree to helped in saving the Pirate King.
