(Third Person POV)
"What's with all the fodder converging as of late?" Brynden said as he walked down the street, "Why're they all riled up about the crew?"
Luna was shrugging, "Beats me, I just got back." She said as the group approached the docks, "But I have heard that there have been several Pirate ships sinking out in the waters."
Myriam sighed, "I can't believe the day has finally come...." She said, "It's been an anxious year...."
"Did you really leave your clinic?" Brynden asked, "Seems rather rude to leave your patients."
"Oh, the clinic isn't mine, haha." Myriam said, "The actual doctors have it under control, it's okay."
"I see." Brynden said as they heard a bit of a commotion
"Besides, they were harboring a criminal, so I really couldn't stay there, haha...." Myriam twirled her hair in her finger, "They were so nice to me...."
Luna stopped and looked at the water, "Oh my...." She said, "She's as beautiful as the last time we saw her."
Brynden and Myriam looked over to where she was gesturing at, seeing the massive Brig Sloop docked, flying the flag of the White-Haired Pirates.
Myriam widened her eyes, "The Seliana....!!" She said, tears forming in her eyes, "It's been a long time.....oh, I'm getting emotional..."
Brynden crossed his arms, "Seems she was taken care of." he said with a nod, "Grey must've guarded her well."
"Oh, Grey!!" Myriam said, "I missed him!"
Luna nodded, "Who wouldn't miss that old fart." She said with a smile, "She's right there, but I do think some Pirate Crews would try and target our Seliana."
Before Brynden and Myriam could respond to this, they heard a loud commotion at a building to the side.
"Hm?" Brynden frowned and looked over
They saw a crowd of Guards gathered at the front of the building.
"The King himself has stated that he doesn't want you White-Haired members, to cause too much trouble, so leave the Pirates to us!" one of them said, "There's no need for violence."
"Hm?" Luna said, "Who could they be speaking to-"
There was a massive shockwave, and most of the guards were sent flying, the sound of an angry yell was heard.
"TELL YOUR KING HE CAN KISS MY ASS!!!" The figure of a red-haired woman was seen swinging her legs at them, "Fuck off!!!"
Myriam widened her eyes, "It's....!!"
The woman was beautiful, with a curvy body, short wavy hair, and blue eyes. She was wearing black pants and a red tank top, which still revealed some of her cleavage. She straightened up and scowled, giving everyone a mean glare.
"Gabriella...." Luna said, "It is as if fate itself is bringing us back together."
Brynden frowned, "Still a hothead, it seems."
Gabriella noticed the group, "Hm?" She said, "Ohhh!!"
Myriam ran up to her, "Gabbie!!!"
"Myriam!" Gabriella caught her in a hug and threw her in the air, "Oh, I've missed youuu!"
Myriam yelped in surprise, "Kya!" She said, "G-Gabie, stop it!"
Gabriella caught her in a hug and spun around, laughing, "Hahahaha!" her angry expression disappeared immediately, "I heard you were here, so I came to see if it were true! Bunch of pirates have gathered, looking for us to take our heads."
She set her down and Myriam stepped back, a bright smile on her face.
"Yea!" Myriam said, "Look who I ran into!"
Luna walked over to her, "Good to see you, Gabriella." She said, "You look well."
Gabriella smiled, "As do you." She said, "We're all gathered here, eh? The Seliana is right over yonder, so I reckon Grey is manning it. Let's go back, no?"
"Yes!" Myriam said
Luna nodded, "That is a good idea."
Luna and Gabriella are members of the White-Haired Pirates, having joined before Brynden and Myriam.
Gabriella was saved by Dante during a Pirate attack on her home island. Dante fought off the Pirate and killed the Captain who was targeting a Legendary Beast Zoan Devil Fruit. Gabriella ate the Devil Fruit during the incident and used its power to kill the rest of the crew. It was a bloody and brutal incident, one that caused the Government to treat the White-Haired Crew as a real threat.
Luna was hired shortly after as a Traveling Doctor to tend to Dante and Gabriella's wounds. After a few weeks of spending time with them, she decided to become a permanent member. She had eaten a Legendary Beast Zoan as well after the crew attacked a Government Outpost in Paradise. Dante had used his "charms" to convince her to stay after she was shaken up by the entire ordeal.
Gabriella looked over at the ship, "All this time...." she said, "To think we can finally see our Seliana...."
Myriam let out a sigh, "Yea....."
Brynden had his arms crossed, "Hm...."
Gabriella looked at him, "What's with you?"
"Nothing." He said, "I can't help but get a feeling of unease. With the Crew getting back together, are things going to be the same? Dante was at Marineford, fighting alongside Whitebeard and Straw Hat.....what is going to happen?"
"Man, don't worry about it." Gabriella said with a slight smirk, "With all of us together, we'll be fine!"
"Ohhh!!" a voice boomed, "Well, I'll be damned!!"
They all turned to see Grey walking up to them, his imposing figure was intimidating. Besides him, a young woman with blonde hair and green eyes was seeing, carrying a large suitcase.
Myriam smiled, "Grey!!" She said, "You're here!"
Grey reached them, giving them a slight smirk, "Yea, seems we all are." He said, "Been a while, ladies.....and Brynden."
Brynden gave him a nod, "You look well, Grey." He said, "You took care of the Seliana?"
"Of course I did." Grey said, "That's my child right there, I build her from the ground up. Hell, this is her birthplace at that. I had come to see the Old Boss, if you didn't mind."
"It's fine." Luna said, "But if you're here, who's guarding the ship?"
"Hehe.....well, the First Mate, of course." Grey said, "He's there, practically daring anyone to try something, asleep at the deck."
"Ryoma....." Myriam said with a smile, "I missed him so much...."
Gabriella looked at the young woman, "And who is this? A friend?"
Grey nodded, "Something like that." He said, "She's my apprentice. I am going to recommend her to join the crew."
"A recruit?" Brynden narrowed his eyes, "Can she be trusted?"
The young woman bowed slightly, "It is a pleasure to meet all of you." She said, "My name is Eleanor, I am a mere amateur when it comes to being a Shipwright, but I will try my best."
"She has other talents that the Boss will appreciate," Grey said
Luna and Gabriella frowned in unison, "Ughh...." they said, "Talents.....?"
Grey immediately caught their meaning, "Oh, shit." he laughed, "Not that! No, no. I meant in combat! Hahahaha! You ladies, are funny as hell!!"
"Hm...." Brynden said, "It'll take more than talents to gain our trust."
"I am aware." Eleanor said, "I will prove myself, I promise."
"Well, if Grey trusts her...." Myriam said, "I don't see an issue."
"Yea...." Luna said, "I guess so...."
"Forget all of this." Grey said, "We keep causing trouble, His Majesty will descend upon us, and you know how grumpy he can get, hahaha!"
"Let's go back!!"
