The Arabasta Kingdom is a desert kingdom in Paradise. The Straw Hats Pirates anchored at the port town of Nanohana. Luffy, hungry from the long journey, stormed off into town without waiting for his crew. At a bar, he interrupted a confrontation between a man named Portgas D. Ace and Captain Smoker of the Marines, knocking both through the wall without his noticing. Smoker stood up and gave chase when Luffy realized who he was and ran away, leading the Marines directly to his crewmates that were purchasing provisions and water in the town. Just as Smoker was about catch them, Ace interrupted and secured an escape route for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Meanwhile, in Smoker's ship, Mr. 11, who had been previously captured at Renaisse, attempted to free himself from the Marines' custody. A group of Billions then boarded the Marine ship, with one of them killing Mr. 11 in order to open up a spot among the Baroque Works' Frontier Agents.

Back on the Going Merry, Luffy told the crew the man who saved them was his brother. Ace then hopped onto the ship and met the crew, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Tony Tony Chopper. There is also Nefeltari Vivi and Karoo Vivi's pet super-spot billed duck who are traveling with her to save her kingdom.

"Ace, Luffy," Vampire said appearing on the railing of the ship.

"Sis!" both brothers shouted seeing their older sister.

"Sis?" the other Straw Hat pirates asked staring at the tall and powerful dark skin woman who just appeared.

"You're their sister?" Nami asked looking at Vampire and her brothers.

"I take after mom more than dad," Vampire said.

"What brings you here?" Luffy ask.

"And what can I bring for you?" Sanji asked eyeing the beauty before him.

"Lay off, I'm not interested or into men," Vampire said waving him off.

"What?" Sanji asked.

"I mean like this," Vampire said as she steps up to Nefeltari and grabbing her shoulders and bringing her close to her. Vampire being much taller looked down at the desert princess, staring into her eyes. "I only have eyes for women."

"Ohhhh," Nefeltari said blushing.

"Vampire the bounty huntress, known as the greatest bounty hunter of the age. Who is so strong that she is able to fight against the strongest pirates. She's the one who tore off one of the horns of Kaido one of the four emperors, and fought the other three," Zoro said.

"I heard of you Zoro and how you tried to fight Hawkeye. Which you really shouldn't had tried, he's way stronger than you are right now," Vampire said.

"Whitebeard standing order is not to set Vampire off," Ace said.

"Yeah but mostly any Whitebeard allied ships just send the female crew to distract me by having sex with me," Vampire said.

"What?" the Straw Hat pirates all asked stunned.

"It's the only way to keep Vampire busy long enough so that she doesn't go and try to catch anyone," Ace said.

"From what, I heard she's one of the strongest around," Nami said having heard of Vampire in her travels.

"Nope the strongest around. I haven't met anyone who has been a threat to me in years. Well up until my run in with the undead pirate Joke," Vampire said.

"Oh yeah, I read about that," Nami said who is the only member of the crew who reads the paper daily.

"I never had to fight a undead pirate before," Vampire said. "But otherwise there is no pirate who can keep me down for long. Which is why they usually throw women at me to stop me."

"Why not just give you food?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy really?" Vampire asked. "I would have thought you would had gotten... no forget it. That's just asking way too much."

"Luffy is still as dense as he as ever been," Ace said.

"He did hit his head alot as a baby," Vampire said remembering how Luffy crawled around head first into things.

"Vampire, I would like to hire you," Nefeltari said.

"Hire me?" Vampire asked.

"To stop the the warlord of the sea, Sir Crocodile," Nefeltari said.

"Oh him," Vampire said having run into each member of the pirates who allied themselves with the Navy, in exchange having their bounties frozen, along with a share of the loot. The warlords would be called to give aid to the navy.

"He is trying to takeover my country," Nefeltari said.

"Sure," Vampire said.

"Really just like that?" Nefeltari ask.

"Yes just like that," Vampire said smiling as she stares lustfully at Nefeltari. "And as for my reward, it's been awhile since, I bedded a princess."

"What?" Nefeltari asked blushing.

"Too late no backies!" Vampire said.

"Sorry to cut things short but looks like Baroque Works are after us," Chopper shouted pointing to a large number of boats heading for them.

"I'll handle this," Vampire said as she stands on the railing of Go Merry making sure everyone could see her.

"It's Vampire!" the lead ship captain shouted out, with word spreading to the other ships.

"Get!" Vampire said thumbing over her shoulders.

"RUN!" the cry rang out and the Baroque Works agents all turn their ships around and fled. (1)

"Wow," Usopp said finding his voice as the other crew all stared in shock with big eyes and their jaws dropping.

"That's my sister," Luffy said.

"Yup people who seen me in action or heard enough about me knows better than to fight me," Vampire said. "Now I'm taking the wheel of this ship and we can meet up with my crew."

"You have a crew?" Ace asked.

"Yeah, I got a new ship and picked up a crew as I came looking for Luffy. And yes they're all women and yes, I'm sleeping with all of them expect for one," Vampire said.

"Hey wait this is my ship," Luffy said.

"And I'm your older sister," Vampire said flicking his forehead with her index finger and sending him falling onto his back.

"That hurt," Luffy said holding his forehead.

"Quite, you're just as bad as Sabo," Vampire said.

"Who's Sabo?" Chopper asked.

"Our other brother," Ace said.

"Took a heck of a time to find him after he disappeared," Vampire said.

"You have a strange family, Luffy," Nami said to him.

"Yeah, isn't it great," Luffy said.
