Screen 1 — Return to Sabaody (Post–Timeskip)
Two full years pass.
When the Straw Hat Pirates step onto Sabaody again, everything feels different.
They aren't the confused, desperate crew that was scattered here last time — they're sharper, stronger, and carrying the weight of their training.
Rayleigh and Luffy arrive first, walking side by side through the forest paths.
Rayleigh smiles.
"You're ready now."
Luffy adjusts his new vest, calmer than before.
"Yeah. I'm gonna see everyone again."
---
Sans' New Look
Sans steps onto the mangrove roots right behind Luffy.
He's got a darker jacket now — rougher, heavier — with an X mark across the sleeve.
His eye flame flickers brighter than before, sharper, more controlled.
He yawns.
"man… two years went by fast."
Anyone who looks at him can tell he's stronger.
Not louder.
Not flashier.
Just… more dangerous.
---
Papyrus' New Look
Papyrus arrives next, dramatically landing from a tall branch.
He's taller than before, posture straighter, and wearing a single eyepatch over his left socket — not because he lost it, but because he thinks it looks cool.
His new battle scarf whips behind him.
"BEHOLD! THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAS LEVELED UP!"
He flexes proudly.
"I HAVE RETURNED STRONGER, TALLER, AND EVEN MORE AMAZING!"
Sans mutters under his breath:
"he just wanted an excuse to wear an eyepatch."
Papyrus ignores him.
"I AM A MAN OF MYSTERY NOW!"
---
The Reunion Begins
As they walk toward Grove 42, the familiar bubbles drift around them.
Two years ago, this place meant defeat.
Now, it feels like a checkpoint.
Luffy grins.
"Everyone's gonna be so surprised."
Sans nods.
"yeah. hope they're ready for a stronger us."
Papyrus spreads his arms wide.
"STRAW HAT CREW… YOUR SKELETON BROTHERS HAVE RETURNED!"
The new era of the crew is about to begin.
Screen 2 — First Arrivals on Sabaody
Sans and Papyrus step off the small coated boat and onto the familiar mangrove roots of Sabaody.
The air smells the same as before — bubbling resin, salty sea wind, and faint tension.
Papyrus stretches his long arms dramatically.
> Papyrus: "AFTER TWO YEARS… THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAS RETURNED TO THIS BUBBLY LAND!"
Sans looks around with his hands in his pockets.
> Sans: "heh. feels like we never left.
same bubbles… same weird trees… same chaos."
A bubble floats past Papyrus's face.
He grabs it and poses like it's treasure.
> Papyrus: "BEHOLD! THE BUBBLE OF DESTINY!"
Sans sighs.
> Sans: "bro, that's just air."
Before the crew was scattered, this place was their greatest defeat.
Now, the skeleton brothers walk with total confidence — stronger, sharper, and ready for whatever the New World throws at them.
Papyrus slams his foot down proudly.
> Papyrus: "THE STRAW HAT CREW WILL REUNITE! I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES!"
Sans smirks.
> Sans: "that's not a surprise… you are bones."
They start heading toward Grove 42 — their old meeting spot.
Sans glances around quietly.
> Sans: "hope the others didn't run into trouble."
Papyrus flexes.
> Papyrus: "IF THEY DID, WE SHALL SAVE THEM! WE ARE THE FIRST TO ARRIVE!"
Sans nods.
> Sans: "yeah… first ones back on the map."
The reunion has officially begun.
Screen 3 — Fake Straw Hats vs. the Real Skeleton Duo
At Grove 46, the Fake Straw Hat Crew is showing off for a crowd.
Fake Luffy brags loudly.
Fake Zoro swings a dull sword.
Fake Nami poses for money.
And beside them stand two new members:
Fake Sans: Skully Sam — shaking in his boots
Fake Papyrus: Bonejack Bruno — shouting dramatically with his bone staff
Bonejack raises his staff.
> Bonejack: "BEHOLD! I AM THE GREAT PAPYR—"
He freezes mid-sentence.
Because the real Papyrus is standing right behind him.
Seven feet of confident, post-timeskip skeleton, arms crossed, eyepatch gone, scarf blowing dramatically.
> Papyrus: "HELLO, IMPOSTER."
Bonejack shrieks, drops his staff, and instantly falls over.
Sans steps beside Papyrus, eye glowing lightly.
> Sans: "guess we found the discount versions."
Fake Sans tries to copy the glowing eye with a sparkler.
It fizzles out.
He collapses from fear.
> Sans: "yeah… just as weak as they look."
The real Papyrus taps Fake Papyrus with a single finger — not even a punch.
Bonejack goes flying into a mangrove root and blacks out.
The crowd gasps.
> Crowd: "Those weren't the real skeletons… THESE are the real ones!"
Fake Luffy stares at the fallen bodies of his fake "skeleton fighters" and whispers:
> Fake Luffy: "We're doomed…"
Sans yawns.
> Sans: "c'mon, bro. let's find the real crew."
Papyrus strikes a heroic pose.
> Papyrus: "ONWARD! TO FRIENDSHIP AND JUSTICE!"
The fake crew lies defeated in a heap—
not panic, just instant humiliation.
The real skeleton duo walks off calmly, ready for the reunion.
Screen 4 — Nami & Usopp Arrive
A coated ship glides up beside the mangrove roots of Sabaody.
Nami steps off first, wearing her new post–timeskip outfit, glancing around with narrowed eyes.
> Nami: "This place feels… different. Did the bubbles always look this bright?"
Usopp hops off behind her, taller and confident, carrying new gear on his back.
> Usopp: "Two years and the island still smells weird. Good to be back, though."
As they walk deeper into the grove, they spot two familiar figures leaning casually against a mangrove trunk.
Sans gives a small wave, hoodie darker, eye glowing faintly.
> Sans: "yo. long time no see."
Papyrus lifts both arms dramatically.
> Papyrus: "NAMI! USOPP! THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAS RETURNED TO YOU!"
Nami instantly smiles, relieved.
> Nami: "You two look… different. Stronger."
Usopp nods, impressed.
> Usopp: "Sans feels like he leveled up. And Papyrus… you look like someone put a hero filter on you."
Papyrus proudly pats his chest.
> Papyrus: "TWO YEARS OF TRAINING!
MY BONES ARE NOW UNSTOPPABLE!"
Sans nudges him.
> Sans: "he trained. i slept. now i'm stronger. explains a lot, huh?"
Nami laughs softly.
> Nami: "It's really good to see you both."
Usopp takes a deep breath and smiles.
> Usopp: "Feels like the crew is finally coming back together."
The four of them walk toward Grove 42, the old meeting spot — the reunion slowly beginning.
Screen 5 — Sanji's Return (Before Meeting Sans & Papyrus)
Sanji steps onto Sabaody with a cigarette between his lips, shoulders tense.
Two years on Kamabakka Kingdom turned him into a stronger fighter…
and a mentally damaged man.
He shivers just remembering the island.
> Sanji: "I swear… if I see another dress… another wink… another—
No. Don't think about it."
He exhales slowly and looks around.
The place is the same as before, but he isn't.
His observation haki picks up familiar energy signatures across the grove.
He smirks.
> Sanji: "Looks like a few idiots already made it here."
His mind flicks to the two skeletons.
> Sanji (thinking):
Sans better not have gotten lazier…
and Papyrus better not try to hug me again.
A bead of sweat rolls down his face.
> Sanji: "That bonehead nearly crushed my ribs last time…"
Screen 6 — Zoro Gets Lost… Again
Somewhere on the other side of Sabaody, a pirate crew screams as their ship splits cleanly in half.
Zoro stands on the mangrove root, sword resting on his shoulder.
> Zoro: "Tch… wrong grove again.
Thought this was 42."
The surviving pirates paddle away in terror.
> Pirate: "WHY DOES HE ALWAYS CUT FIRST AND ASK LATER?!"
Zoro ignores them and starts walking—
straight in the opposite direction of the meeting point.
That's when a tall skeleton suddenly drops from a branch above him.
Papyrus lands with a dramatic pose, scarf flying.
> Papyrus: "ZORO! YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY AGAIN!"
Zoro stops mid-step, annoyed.
> Zoro: "…Papyrus? Where did you come from?"
Papyrus crosses his arms.
> Papyrus: "BRO, YOU'VE BEEN LOST FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES AND YOU JUST ARRIVED."
Zoro grunts.
> Zoro: "I wasn't lost. I was scouting."
Papyrus shakes his head so hard his bones rattle.
> Papyrus: "NO. YOU WERE LOST, DUMB ZORO.
THE MEETING SPOT IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE DIRECTION."
Zoro sighs.
> Zoro: "…Fine. Lead the way, bone tower."
Papyrus salutes proudly.
> Papyrus: "FOLLOW ME! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHALL GUIDE YOU TO GLORY!"
As Papyrus marches off with big dramatic steps, Zoro mutters:
> Zoro: "This is ridiculous… but at least he knows where he's going."
The two head toward Grove 42, where the reunion is building.
He keeps walking, adjusting his jacket.
> Sanji: "Still… it'll be good to see them.
Those two saved Luffy at Marineford.
I owe them a drink."
He kicks a bubble into the air, watching it float.
> Sanji: "Skeleton duo or not…
the crew is coming back together."
He heads toward Grove 42, unaware that Sans and Papyrus are waiting just ahead.
Screen 7 — Franky & Robin Reunite (Papyrus Only)
A loud mechanical stomp echoes through Grove 42.
Everyone turns as Franky walks out of the shadows —
except "walk" isn't the right word.
It's more like a tank strutting proudly.
He's huge.
Metal plates, laser ports, giant shoulders, sunglasses shining.
> Franky: "SUPERRRR!! THE SHIPWRIGHT HAS RETURNED!"
Nami and Usopp stare in shock.
Usopp nearly faints.
> Usopp: "FRANKY?! YOU'RE… YOU'RE A BUILDING NOW!"
Franky flexes both chrome arms.
> Franky: "Two years of Vegapunk's island will do that to you!"
Right behind him, Robin steps forward with calm confidence.
She carries herself differently now —
colder eyes, stronger presence, sharper awareness.
She gives a small smile.
> Robin: "It's been a long time.
You've all grown."
Papyrus appears behind them, waving both arms.
> Papyrus: "ROBIN! FRANKY! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WELCOMES YOU BACK!"
Robin laughs lightly.
> Robin: "Papyrus… you look taller again."
Papyrus flexes proudly.
> Papyrus: "TWO YEARS OF TRAINING! I HAVE EVOLVED!"
Franky pats Papyrus on the back with a metallic clang.
> Franky: "Good to see you, bone-brother!"
Robin looks around.
> Robin: "Where's Sans? He's usually with you."
Papyrus points off toward another grove.
> Papyrus: "MY BROTHER IS TRAVELING ACROSS THE ISLAND!
HE SAID HE WANTED SOME 'QUIET TIME' BEFORE THE REUNION."
Nami snorts.
> Nami: "He's probably sleeping somewhere."
Usopp nods.
> Usopp: "Or stealing snacks.
More likely snacks."
Papyrus puts his hands on his hips proudly.
> Papyrus: "FEAR NOT! SANS ALWAYS RETURNS WHEN IT MATTERS!"
Franky laughs.
> Franky: "Guess the reunion's almost complete."
Robin nods.
> Robin: "Yes. One by one… the Straw Hats are coming home."
They stand together in Grove 42, the crew slowly restoring itself —
awaiting their captain and the last missing members.
Screen 8 — Brook Returns as "Soul King"
The peaceful bubble of Grove 46 suddenly shakes with screams.
Crowds rush aside as a tall skeleton in a black coat walks through, waving politely.
It's Brook —
now famous across the world as Soul King Brook, the musician whose voice fills entire nations.
Fans scream his name.
Cameras flash.
Marine scouts hide, unsure if it's really him or a double.
Brook twirls his cane.
> Brook: "Yohoho! Forgive me, everyone! I didn't expect such a warm welcome! Ah… but I have no flesh to feel warmth!"
Sans steps out from behind a mangrove, hands in pockets.
> Sans: "hey, rockstar. took you long enough."
Brook freezes in delight.
> Brook: "SANS-SAN! MY SHORT SKELETON BROTHER! IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG!"
They give a quick, casual skeleton handshake — perfectly in sync.
A few minutes later, Papyrus arrives with Nami, Usopp, and Franky.
Papyrus raises a hand dramatically.
> Papyrus: "BROOK! YOUR MUSICAL GREATNESS HAS RETURNED!"
Brook bows deeply.
> Brook: "Ah, my magnificent tall skeleton sibling! You look even more heroic!"
Nami sighs.
> Nami: "Three skeletons again… this island is getting strange."
Usopp nods.
> Usopp: "At this point I'm not sure who's the weirdest."
Franky crosses his arms.
> Franky: "It's SUPER weird, but they're family."
While they talk, Sans scans the grove with a small glow in his eye.
> Sans: "by the way… the number of enemies here?
yeah. it's huge."
The crew stiffens.
> Usopp: "H-how huge?"
Sans shrugs lightly.
> Sans: "fakes, bounty hunters, government spies… you name it.
honestly?
this is good for me."
Robin tilts her head.
> Robin: "Good? Why?"
Sans smirks.
> Sans: "perfect test area.
new haki… new tricks…
new skeleton fun."
Papyrus pumps a fist.
> Papyrus: "THEN THE GREAT PAPYRUS SHALL JOIN THE TESTING!"
Brook laughs.
> Brook: "Yohoho! A skeleton training arc!"
The three skeletons stand together —
ready for the chaos about to hit Sabaody.
Screen 10 — Chopper's Big Mistake
Sabaody's markets are louder than ever.
Bubbles float through the air. Pirates shout. Merchants swear.
Sans walks calmly through the crowd, carrying a bag of his favorite snacks.
> Sans: "market food hits different after two years…"
He turns a corner—
and spots a huge crowd cheering and clapping.
> "ZORO-SAMA!!"
"SANJI-SAMA!!"
"ROBIN-SAMA!!"
"STRONGEST PIRATES IN THE WORLD!!"
The cheering draws someone small and excited:
Chopper, bouncing from merchant to merchant.
His eyes sparkle.
> Chopper: "Zoro!! Sanji!! Robin!! You're all here already!!"
He runs toward the center of the crowd with total trust.
But he's completely wrong.
He finds…
Fake Zoro (drunk)
Fake Sanji (ugly, zero charm)
Fake Robin (nothing like her)
Fake Sans (painted face)
Fake Papyrus (Bonejack Bruno, the idiot)
Chopper stares at them, confused.
> Chopper: "Zoro… why is your sword backwards?
Sanji… why are you drooling?
Robin… why are you three times taller?"
The fakes panic.
Fake Zoro yells:
> "IT'S THE REAL CHOPPER! CAPTURE HIM!"
Chopper gasps.
> Chopper: "WHAAAT?! Why are you trying to catch me?!"
Before Chopper can be grabbed—
A familiar blue light flashes.
Sans appears behind the fake Zoro, holding his snack bag.
> Sans: "hey.
i leave you alone for five minutes
and you're already getting kidnapped again."
The fake crew freezes.
Sans glances at each of them.
Fake Sans.
Fake Papyrus (Bonejack Bruno).
Fake Luffy.
Fake Nami.
All trembling.
> Sans: "you know… copying the straw hats is annoying.
copying me is stupid."
A Gaster Blaster forms silently behind him.
Not loud.
Not flashy.
Just threatening enough.
The crowd backs up fast.
> Fake Luffy: "W-we surrender!! Please don't erase us!!"
> Fake Sanji: "We were just pretending!!"
> Fake Zoro: "Please spare us, spooky skeleton man!!"
Sans sighs.
> Sans: "relax.
i'm not gonna erase anyone."
They breathe in relief—
Then Sans taps the ground.
A shockwave of blue bones erupts, launching the entire fake crew into the air like fireworks.
They crash into a bubble tree across the plaza.
The crowd screams and runs.
Chopper rushes to Sans.
> Chopper: "Sans!! You saved me!! I thought they were the real crew!"
Sans pats his head.
> Sans: "don't sweat it, doc.
your heart's big.
your people-reading… not so much."
Chopper pouts.
> Chopper: "Hey! That's mean!! …But true…"
Papyrus arrives seconds later, pointing heroically.
> Papyrus: "WOWIE!! SANS! DID YOU DEFEAT THOSE FAKE FIENDS WITHOUT ME?!"
Sans shrugs.
> Sans: "they weren't worth the team-up."
Papyrus flexes dramatically.
> Papyrus: "THE NEXT FAKE VILLAIN SHALL FACE THE FULL POWER OF THE GREAT PAPYRUS!"
Chopper laughs nervously.
> Chopper: "At least I know who the real ones are now…"
The skeleton trio walks deeper into the grove—
the real reunion finally starting.
Screen 10 — Luffy Finally Arrives
A massive explosion of bubbles shakes Grove 42.
Pirates scream.
Merchants hide behind stalls.
Then—
a giant shadow flies out of the sky, spinning like a missile.
BOOOOM!
Luffy lands head-first in the plaza, smashing a crater into the ground.
He pops up instantly, brushing off dust.
> Luffy: "I'm heeere!
Alright, time to find everyone!"
He looks around—
and freezes.
Chopper runs toward him.
> Chopper: "LUFFY!!"
Papyrus waves both arms like a windmill.
> Papyrus: "CAPTAIN! WE HAVE RETURNED TO THIS ISLAND OF BUBBLY CHAOS!"
Sans stands next to them with a snack in his hand.
He raises a lazy hand.
> Sans: "yo.
you're late."
Luffy's jaw drops.
> Luffy: "HUH?!
How did YOU get here before me?!
I had Hancock's ship! It's super fast!"
Sans shrugs.
> Sans: "teleportation. shortcuts.
also… we didn't stop for meat breaks every five minutes."
Papyrus nods proudly.
> Papyrus: "INDEED! WE ARRIVED WITH SPEED, SKILL, AND—"
Sans interrupts.
> Sans: "—luck. mostly luck."
Chopper clings to Luffy's leg, crying in relief.
> Chopper: "Luffy! Everyone's coming back! We already saw Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Usopp— and the fake crew too!"
Luffy blinks.
> Luffy: "Fake crew?"
Sans points at a group still stuck inside a bubble tree across the plaza, groaning.
> Sans: "handled it."
Luffy laughs, completely impressed.
> Luffy: "HAHAHA! I missed you guys!"
The real energy of the crew starts building again—
just before the ground shakes
and a metallic foot lands behind them.
A cold robotic voice speaks:
> "TARGET: STRAW HAT LUFFY DETECTED."
A Pacifista steps out of the shadows.
Sans cracks his knuckles.
> Sans: "round two, huh?"
Papyrus points dramatically.
> Papyrus: "THEN LET US SHOW THEM THE POWER OF THE REAL SKELETON TRIO!"
Luffy grins.
> Luffy: "Let's go!"
The real reunion fight begins.
Screen 11 — Sentomaru Arrives
Just as the fake Straw Hats and the two fake skeletons are lying in a heap of broken pride and bruises — courtesy of Sans — the crowd suddenly starts screaming.
Heavy footsteps shake the mangrove roots.
A tall man in samurai clothing steps forward, cracking his knuckles.
Sentomaru:
"Oi. Today's been loud.
Fake pirates, fake skeletons…
and now someone flattened them."
A dozen Pacifistas march in behind him, their eyes glowing.
The crowd panics instantly.
Citizens:
"Sentomaru?! The Pacifistas?! We're doomed!"
"Everyone run! Today's the worst day to be here!"
Sans stands calmly in the middle of the chaos, hands in his pockets.
He looks at the beaten fakes, then at Sentomaru.
Sans:
"well…
this got complicated."
Papyrus stumbles over, still annoyed.
Papyrus:
"SANS! DID YOU HAVE TO HIT THEM THAT HARD?!
NOW THE MARINES THINK WE'RE TROUBLE!"
Sans shrugs.
Sans:
"bro, they were pretending to be us.
and they sucked at it.
i did the world a favor."
Sentomaru points his axe right at Sans.
Sentomaru:
"You.
The short skeleton with the weird aura.
You must be the real one."
Pacifistas lock onto him instantly.
PX-5:
"TARGET CONFIRMED:
SANS—350,000,000 BERRIES.
EXTREME THREAT."
PX-6:
"TARGET CONFIRMED:
PAPYRUS—180,000,000 BERRIES.
CAUTION ADVISED."
Papyrus lifts his hands nervously.
Papyrus:
"EASY EASY!
NO NEED TO SHOOT LASERS AT US!"
Sans sighs.
Sans:
"welp.
guess today is the worst day."
The Marines begin charging their beams as the real Straw Hat reunion moment closes in…
Screen 12 — The New Power Levels Revealed
Everything freezes for a moment.
Sentomaru shouts his order. Pacifista beams charge.
Then—
Luffy rockets forward.
A burst of steam. A blackened arm.
Gear 2 + Armament.
He lands one punch.
BOOM.
A Pacifista — a weapon that once pushed the entire crew to the limit — collapses in a single hit.
Everyone watching goes silent.
Crowd:
"…He one-shot it."
"Straw Hat Luffy is on another level…"
Sentomaru's jaw tightens.
Sentomaru:
"Tch… this isn't the same pirate from two years ago."
---
Zoro & Sanji Follow Suit
Zoro cuts a Pacifista clean in half.
Sanji shatters another with a single flaming kick.
The entire island realizes the truth:
The Straw Hats have become monsters.
---
Sans Steps In
Sans lifts one hand, eyelight glowing.
A crisp sound like tearing air.
TEN Pacifistas vanish into blue light — disintegrated by a single line of Gaster Blaster fire.
Quick. Efficient. No wasted movement.
Marines freeze in terror.
Sentomaru takes half a step back despite himself.
Sentomaru:
"…That wasn't haki.
That wasn't laser tech.
What was that?"
A nearby Marine stammers.
Marine:
"He wiped out a whole unit… with one move…"
---
Papyrus Joins the Fight
Papyrus slams his foot down.
A wave of mini bone soldiers erupts from the ground, swarming and overwhelming four Pacifistas at once, tearing through their metal frames.
When the dust clears, Papyrus throws a proud pose.
Papyrus:
"BEHOLD! THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAS RETURNED STRONGER THAN EVER!"
Sentomaru stares like he's witnessing a fever dream.
Sentomaru:
"…One small skeleton destroys ten.
The tall idiot destroys four.
And they're on the SAME CREW?"
He groans.
Sentomaru:
"This generation is a nightmare."
Even the Marines whisper among themselves.
Marine 1:
"Sans is on par with an Admiral's destructive power…"
Marine 2:
"Papyrus is… weirdly terrifying."
Marine 3:
"Why did they get stronger too?!"
---
Luffy steps beside Sans and Papyrus, grin wide.
Luffy:
"Alright! Everyone's here.
Let's set sail."
This time, the Marines can't stop them.
The new era begins.
Screen 13 — After the Battle
The last Pacifista hits the ground.
The smoke finally clears.
The Marines stand frozen, still processing the damage — ten Pacifistas erased by Sans, four crushed by Papyrus, and the others defeated by the real Straw Hats.
Sentomaru raises a hand.
Sentomaru:
"Arrest the fake Straw Hats.
All of them."
The impostors collapse instantly, crying and begging as Marines drag them away.
They never stood a chance.
---
Sans' Warning
Sans steps forward, hoodie still down, eye dim but cold.
He looks at the Marines — not angry, just… done.
Sans:
"listen…
we're not here to start trouble.
but if you chase us in the New World…
you better send someone who can keep up."
A few Marines swallow hard.
Some try not to stare at the crater where ten Pacifistas used to be.
Sentomaru grits his teeth.
He knows it isn't a threat — it's a fact.
---
Papyrus' Tone Shift
Papyrus wipes dust off his armor and strikes a relaxed pose.
Papyrus:
"YES, WE ARE FINISHED HERE!
NO NEED FOR MORE FIGHTING!
THE GREAT PAPYRUS DECLARES THIS BATTLE…
OVER!"
Marines don't argue.
They just slowly step back.
---
Reunion Mood
The real Straw Hats gather around Luffy.
Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook — and now Sans and Papyrus — all standing together again.
But this time there's no fear, no panic, no running.
Just calm confidence.
Luffy:
"Alright! We're going to Fish-Man Island!"
Sans cracks his neck.
Sans:
"heh. feels good to be back."
Papyrus nods firmly.
Papyrus:
"THE SKELETON BROTHERS HAVE RETURNED STRONGER THAN EVER!"
The entire Marine squad watches them walk away…
completely powerless to stop them this time.
Screen 14 — The Reunion at Shakky's Bar
The whole crew steps into Shakky's bar together for the first time in two years.
The atmosphere instantly shifts — warm, loud, chaotic, familiar.
Usopp brags about his muscles.
Brook asks if anyone wants to see his new "soul tricks."
Sanji cries over how beautiful Nami and Robin look now.
Zoro ignores him.
Chopper spins around showing his new horns.
Franky proudly flexes a laser, almost hitting the ceiling.
Papyrus bursts in dramatically.
Papyrus:
"AFTER TWO YEARS… THE GREAT PAPYRUS RETURNS! EVERYONE CLAP!"
Brook claps politely.
Sanji sighs.
Luffy laughs anyway.
And Sans just stands by the door, hands in pockets, watching everyone with a small grin.
Sans:
"yeah… this feels right."
---
Rayleigh's Welcome
Rayleigh sits at the counter, arms folded, smiling like a proud mentor.
Rayleigh:
"You've all grown.
And the world isn't ready for you."
Luffy slams down into a seat beside him.
Sans sits on the bar stool next to that one.
Papyrus sits on three stools because he can't balance.
Shakky hands out drinks.
Shakky:
"Your ship's almost ready.
Coating's done.
You're heading to Fish-Man Island."
---
Luffy's Thanks
Before leaving, Luffy pauses.
He turns to Rayleigh, Shakky… then in his mind, to Hancock too.
He bows his head deeply.
Luffy:
"Thank you…
for saving my life.
For helping me get strong enough to protect everyone."
The room goes quiet for a moment.
Rayleigh smiles gently.
Rayleigh:
"That strength was always yours, Luffy."
---
Sans and Papyrus' Thanks
Sans steps forward, unusually serious.
Sans:
"yeah.
thanks…
for not letting him break."
Papyrus salutes with dramatic respect.
Papyrus:
"WE SHALL NEVER FORGET YOUR HELP!
THE SKELETON BROTHERS OWE YOU A GREAT DEBT!"
Rayleigh laughs.
Rayleigh:
"You two… really are something."
---
Moving On
They all walk back to the Thousand Sunny together.
No fear.
No hurry.
Just the confidence of a crew who survived hell and came back stronger.
Luffy:
"Alright, everyone!
To Fish-Man Island!"
The entire crew cheers — the real Straw Hat Pirates, reunited at last.
Be continued
