This is how life should be

Ian knew. He knew that this time's actions would change the world too much. But he did not care at all, he would gladly embark on such an unknown future.

One of the things changed. Is about Luffy.

Originally he would be saved by Law. And then taken to Amazon Lily.

But now he was actually carried by Ace who had just found out about his condition.

As he did not want to dampen the mood of the war, he discreetly found some doctors to see about Luffy but they were helpless.

They were now on the Moby dick that was moving and was already a distance away from the place the war took place in. With many ships surrounding it. Since they had to enter the new world by coating their ships they had to head to Sabaody archipelago, and now they were just about to reach it. The party that they would have would be there. Pirates could party anywhere at any time.

Ivankov was also there, and he had told Ace about the actions Luffy had done to reach the war. Even Hancock's ship was by the side.

Ace felt it was his fault as he almost teared up, but then Marco who was by the side saw Ace running around frantically searching for a doctor.

"Oi Ace, What happened?" He asked him.

"It's Luffy he needs help. But the doctors can't do anything" Ace said, almost yelling from frustration.

"Oh is that so. Calm down Ace. Tell me do you remember Pops' condition?" Marco said calmly while he looked at Ace.

Ace was confused. What did that have to do with Luffy. But he still gave a nod.

"Well, look at him now! And didn't you think that something was wrong with the way he fought in the war?" Marco asked. He could understand if Ace didn't pay attention, after all, he had been under a lot of stress.

Ace saw the old man laughing as he was walking with Ian-Who had already worn his shirt- and an unknown girl to him who was actually quite good looking.

Shanks had already left saying he has some business and would not be able to join them at the party. Though Shanks did not like how this turned out, it was still the better of the results from the war that could have happened. So he had to be content with this…

But Ace focused on the condition of the old man. He was actually walking normally and appeared healthy. Now that he thought about it the old man fought and dominated everybody at the war, which should have been impossible.

"How is that possible?" He exclaimed.

"It was all thanks to Ian. We all owe him a big one. He healed Pops so that he can save you" Marco said with admiration.

"He healed him? Then we really need to thank him. But wasn't pops condition incurable?" Ace wondered as he said to Marco.

"He just that good a doctor." Marco smiled in reply.

"That good a doctor… ah, that's right he might be able to help Luffy." Ace said as he started running at Ian.

When he reached he called for him. Once Ian was near, he impatiently asked for his help.

"Can you save Luffy? I heard you are a great doctor and healed pops. Luffy is in a critical condition… please save him" Ace said with worry in his voice.

Ian gave a nod. He noticed that they had reached Sabaody archipelago already. He turned to Ace and said.

"Sure lead the way. I'll help him, after all, he is my friend."

Ace smiled happily as he started leading him to a room where Luffy was sleeping on a bed.

Elene had followed him inside and saw Luffy and also Hancock who didn't want to let Luffy out of her sight…

She immediately got excited as she wanted to go greet her. But she calmed down as she knew that she was worried about Luffy.

Just like Ian, when he met Whitebeard, she was a huge fan of Hancock.

Ian grabbed Luffy's arm, and he started channeling his energy through his body.

And after a few minutes, Luffy suddenly opened his eyes as he got up and started coughing blood from his mouth. The others panicked while Ian just went to the side and got him a towel along with a glass of water.

When he drank the water and cleaned his mouth, he turned to look at people present.

He first saw Ian.

"Oh, it's you, Ian." He was happy about this friend of him, as he had fulfilled his promise of saving Ace.

Once he thought of that he turned around hurriedly checking.

"Ace!!" HE saw Ace and jumped at him. The hugged for a bit before Luffy separated from him with a small laugh.

"Hahaha" He was truly happy.

He then saw Hancock by the side staying quite.

"Oh, Hancock you are here too." He said to her happily.

She gave a nod as she started blushing madly.

Ian and Elene shared a look. And then Elene finally got the courage to go chat with her…

****

Whitebeard knew that they would not have enough food, and drinks to have a good enough party. So had his sons take care of that.

And since they were docked at one of the lawless areas at Sabaody archipelago they had to go a distance away to get the supplies.

Meanwhile, the ships had been aligning near each other, so that anyone can move from one ship to the other. The three big ships including the Moby dick were in the middle of the smaller ships.

Soon the others were back and were carrying crates with supplies to the ship. They had brought enough to last them a week of partying.

Then the musicians took their places among each ship after all music was essential to a party. They would play but would also rest to eat and drink from time to time.

Once everything was ready.

The old man waited for everybody to get their cups filled with booze before he began talking.

"You guys, this is to our win!!! Let the party begin!!!!" He yelled with the rest giving a cheer back.

"OOOouuuhhhHH" Then they all downed their drinks, and even Ian who sitting near the old man did so. And Elene who was by the side of the women along with Hancock too downed her drink.

Soon everything turned to chaos.

On every ship, you would find the pirates had made a circle and were doing something.

On some ships, the girls had started dancing for the men. On some others, the men had started brawling, with the women cheering and gambling on who would win.

The fights, of course, were not ones with either Haki or Devil fruits, they were just simple hand to hand combats.

Then some were playing arm wrestling. Others made bets on who would catch the biggest fish, then they would jump to the sea, as it was still day.

The party had just begun.

Ian looked around at the cheering men and women and thought to himself.

'This is how life should be'
