I Don't Share!!

(Flashback to Skypiea Trip)

Luke and the his small group sailed through the sky, making excellent speed given the fact they didn't have someone to boost their speed to rocket aircraft levels.

Just as they thought, the trip took a bit more time than before, arriving on the eighth day since their departure. Soran had gone a little mad with excitement as soon as they reached the white sea, causing Makino to step in to calm her down.

Soran didn't want to wait to let her body adjust to the altitude, but she wouldn't argue the topic knowing just how important it was to be healthy. She especially had to relent when she saw that even Luke agreed to wait it out, and he was the most impatient person she had ever met.

The next day when they approached the Heaven's Gate, instead of answering a bunch of questions and whatnot, Nojiko threw $1.6million berries to the old gate keeper, as well as a picture of everyone on board the ship.

"We're here for sight seeing this time!" She shouted to Amazon, who smiled widely at them. "Do have a pleasant trip!" The old bat shouted to them as a giant lobster-like thing grabbed hold of the ship and rushed them up the water-way.

They never got to do this last time because Jack refused to let this thing touch his ship, and given how there were now a few cracks in their current ship from the things strength, Luke figured Jack made the right call.

Honestly speaking, for how obsessed he was with the Pearl, he might have destroyed the sky islands as recompense for the damages.

In no time at all, they reached Skypiea, where Nojiko floated a small deserted island they had come across in their journey over to the city of Angel Island.

The people of the city all came to see the odd spectacle, and once they learned the island was theirs to do with as they wished for a large selection of dials, they were more than pleased.

They actually built a statue of Nojiko and thanked her for her benevolence, which just seemed to irritate the others.

"I know! I'm great!" Nojiko said, loving the praise for all of 5 minutes before she was tired of it. There was only three people whose opinions she cared about, and none of these people were them. Two of the three people were on the ship with her, but they didn't care much for the glory either.

Genzo loved the view of Skypiea, and made sure to take pictures every chance he got. He even got pictures of the people, who for some reason had beautiful white angelic wings.

While everyone was off seeing the sights and exploring, Luke didn't waste anytime in hitting on the beautiful women, and to no one's surprise, he managed to get a woman named Raki, a tall, black-haired woman, with two large bangs parted to either side of her face on the front, and a long and elaborate ponytail on the back.

Surprisingly it was her who told him that she was just looking for a fling because a certain someone couldn't take a hint, and that if he was looking for a commitment, then they could just forget about it.

Needless to say, he wasn't heartbroken and the both of them went off to her restaurant she had owned with her friend Conis.

"Why does it feel like he's starting a Harem?" Nami asked, wondering how it was that women seemed to throw themselves at Luke. "Cause he probably is." Nojiko said, then went about shopping.

They had as long as they wanted to be here, but the sooner she could get back home, the sooner she could continue her promise with Jack. It had only been something she had talked with him recently about, and at first he was hesitant, but now that he was up for it, she wouldn't stop until she got it.

(A.N. Revealed next chapter)

For the next week they all stayed and explored Skypiea, seeing the different sights and what not. They all even got a turn to ring the large golden bell, the only piece of gold Jack had spared the once golden city.

The people were super excited to show them around, especially Raki whenever Luke was involved. It would apparently be more than a one time thing if the way she acted around him was anything to go by, but he didn't care.

For the most part all he did was train and workout. The loss against Hawkeye had rekindled his drive to train, and he was making great strides.

Everyone was still taking in the sights when eventually they were all told about the other Sky islands, and Soran just had to see them, so they all gathered together before deciding to make the trip to see new sights.

They had just gotten back to the White Sea when Luke's Transponder Snail started ringing. "Hello." He said casually, but his face blanked at the panicked voice.

"LUKE! THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE EMPERORS CREW ATTACKING DRESSROSA!!" Viola shouted in distress.

He didn't even need to think about it before he replied, "I'll be there in a few minutes!! Just hold on!" Saying that, he looked to Garp who in turn nodded at his unasked question. Garp would make sure no one hurt them no matter what.

Knowing they would be safe, Luke grabbed the Eternal Pose to Dressrosa from his bag, then shot off at lightning speed, only stopping every few seconds to make sure he was still on the right course.

It took less than 10 minutes to get there, and by the looks of it he arrived just in time for the pirates to dock their ships. Out in the water, 3 ships belonging to the Dressrosa military were in pieces, with a few bodies floating in the wreckage.

'So they tried to defend themselves and were beaten...' Luke mentally apologized to the fallen soldiers for not having got here sooner, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

His gaze then locked onto the 4 large pirate ships that had just docked at the harbor, and he wasn't very surprised to see both Big Mom's and Kaido's ships together. He was however surprised to see just who it was that was here.

'Jack the Drought, one of Kaido's three disasters.' Luke guessed, based on everything he had read about the man and his appearance. Then he looked to Big Mom's crew, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. The last time he fought Cracker, he left him in a pretty bad state, but now he would make sure to end him for sure.

No one had yet to notice his arrival, and he actually preferred to keep it that way for now. He watched as Kyros and the strongest members of the King's army blocked the path of the pirates, telling them they were no longer welcome in Dressrosa.

"You are nothing but ants!! How dare you puny insects stand in our way!!" Jack roared angrily. Cracker was watching from inside one of his biscuit constructs, not able to walk and all, given the fact that he no longer had legs, and trying to create new ones out of his power ended up in failure.

With the help of his Devil Fruit, he was still a monster, keeping his rank among the world, as no one besides his family and now Jack and that asshole Luke knew what he actually looked like.

His biscuit constructs could easily go toe to toe with a Vice-Admiral, so not many people would dare to challenge him in the first place, but he dreaded going up against Luke again in the future.

He was here with Jack because they were tasked with getting some Devil Fruit users on their side, but Jack was going about it all wrong. He would have said something, but he didn't care one way or the other if they got these people.

Family were the only ones he trusted, and not even Kaido and his group of beasts were that. He watched as the very people they came to recruit stepped forward to protect their city, but against him and Jack, they were doomed.

His thoughts were brought short when he saw a beautiful woman run up to the lead defender and shout something to him, that made him tense up in fear.

"Brother Kyros!! Luke is on his way!" The woman shouted, bringing back the image of a demon that haunted his memories. At that moment he wanted nothing more than to run, but Jack was having none of it.

"You insolent bitch!! I'll make you mine!!" Jack shouted, which was probably one of the worst things he could have said at that moment.

Luke, having listened to the Drought's proclamation, practically seethed with rage. 'Make her, his?!! HIS?!! Oh Bullshit!!' He screamed in his mind before he unleashed a Kamehameha on the ships, turning them and the majority of the pirates that came here into nothingness.

Done with the pirates only way of retreat, he landed a few feet in front of Jack with his swords drawn as he shouted, "I DON'T SHARE!!!"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded at the declaration, but Luke didn't care. In the blink of an eye he was already in his Ultra mode, knowing he would need it for both Jack and Cracker.

With a burst of speed, he descended upon the pirates, forcing Jack on the defensive, which was no small feat. Arcs of lightning split off from him, electrocuting the few remaining pirates and paralyzing them.

Cracker on the other hand wanted to run away, wanting to be anywhere but here. The biggest nightmare he had faced so far had returned, and now he was pissed off.

He started to create his biscuit soldiers as fast as he could, but a bolt of lightning ended them just as fast as they were made. Meanwhile, Luke was using his superior speed and agility to run circles around Jack, slicing him anywhere he was given the chance, but the guy had thick skin for sure, most likely part of his Devil Fruit.

Luke had also taken the opportunity to stab a few Sea Stone daggers into Jack's shoulders and back, because she guy had a metal mouth guard of some sort, making so he couldn't shove the beads down his throat.

Cracker wasn't so lucky though. With the help of Kyros keeping Jack distracted, Luke quickly destroyed the biscuit construct that he was sitting in and pinned him to the cliffside with one of his swords, which brought on some screaming.

Luke naturally took advantage of the open mouth and stuffed a handful of small beads into Crackers mouth, forcing them inside. "You should have stayed home with that bitch you call a mother!!" Luke hissed out, then diverted his attention back to the walking calamity that was Jack.

Kyros was on the defensive at this point, but Jack's attention was still on Luke, and the Sea Stone was still in his back. He couldn't reach it, and his underlings were all either unconscious or dead, so they were pretty useless.

Jack got a lucky hit on Kyros, sending him flying back towards his men, leaving just him and Luke standing, both with their weapons drawn. "Why are you defending them?!" Jack shouted, gesturing with one of his swords towards the people of Dressrosa as he tried to get his breathing under control.

The fight was so one sided it wasn't even funny, and even with all of his strength, it didn't matter because Luke was always gone before his strike could connect with him.

He was hoping to buy himself a few moments of time to come up with a plan, but Luke wasn't having any of it. Luke started charging a ball of lightning in his left hand, while he rushed Jack, who swung a heavy sword at him.

Luke narrowly dodged the first sword, then deflected Jack's other sword with his own. Still keeping his speed, Luke used Moonwalk to gain the height to be face to face with Jack, who stood at Whitebeard's height, then unleashed a point blank attack right into Jack's face.

All Jack could do was coat his face in Haki, but even then he was still badly wounded. His eyes were fried, forever taking away his sight, but Luke didn't seem to think the guy had enough pain.

Keeping with his usual theme, Luke took his legs first, then sliced each arm lengthwise, making it look like Jack had four oddly shaped arms.

Now that he was in the clear, Luke proceeded to bash Jack's skull with a Haki coated fist, all the while he screamed, "NO ONE TAKES FROM ME!! NOT YOU!! NOT YOUR BITCH OF BOSS!! NOT THOSE CUNTS IN THE GOVERNMENT!! NOBODY!!!"

Time went by like that, with people just watching Luke mercilessly bash the man's head in. It wasn't until a soft hand touched Luke's should before he was brought out of his daze, snapping his eyes to the one who dared touch him.

It was then he finally noticed Viola looking down at him with tears in her eyes. "It's okay... I'm okay..." She said softly, running her soft hands across his face.

He didn't know how long he had stayed like that, just staring into her eyes, but it must have been awhile because someone finally mustered the courage to interrupt their little moment.

"U-Um e-e-excuse me, b-but the other guy bled out." The guy said, pointing towards where Cracker's corpse was still pinned to the cliffside. Seeing that the fight was over, Luke let go of his transformation and collapsed into Viola's arms.

"I'm probably not gonna be able to move for a few hours." He told her, but she didn't care. "That's fine. I'll take care of you." She whispered in his ear as she ran her hands through his hair. He stayed like that until he eventually closed his eyes and let himself sleep.

It wasn't until a few hours later that he opened his eyes, having a perfect angel be the first thing he saw. "Am I in heaven?" He asked as he raised his hand to touch her face. Viola only laughed softly at him as she pulled his hand to her, savoring his touch.

"You can say the most wonderful things sometimes." She said, not wanting to move from her spot. They both stared into each others eyes for what felt like an eternity, but somehow not long enough before the door opened, breaking their eyes away from each other.

Looking at the door, they saw King Riku and Kyros standing in the doorway, and behind them Rebecca was trying to peek inside to see what was going on. "I'm glad you're awake!" The king said, making Luke groan as he pulled himself up to a sitting position.

"How long was I out?" He asked as he looked around for his belongings. Both his swords were leaning against the wall beside his bed, while his clothes were cleaned and folded on the table close by, and the few small items he carried in his pockets were next to them as well.

"You have been sleeping for a little over 10 hours. Viola hasn't left your side, and we were gonna try and convince her to eat some food and get some rest, but now that you're awake, I don't think that will be a problem." The king said with a slight grin on his face.

"I'm quite hungry, but I need to call in and let everyone know I'm safe, otherwise there might be an early war!" Luke said, getting a nod from everyone before they left the room, leaving him alone with Viola.

Once they were alone, Luke reached over and grabbed his Transponder Snail and called Nojiko. "How are things?" Nojiko asked once Luke told him he was alright.

"I'm not too sure, but better than could be expected. I'll fill you in on the details later, but just know that I'm safe and everyone's fine." Luke said, getting a scoff from Nojiko. "Of course you would be alright! We were worried about Dressrosa!" Nojiko stated before she ended the call.

Even though she said that, Luke knew that she cared. They all cared about each other, although not many of them bothered to admit it. Now that he didn't need to worry about Jack bringing an army to check up on him, Luke fell back into the bed, continuing to gaze up at Viola.

She too stared at him for a few minutes before she decided to speak. "So... I'm yours?" She asked, a hint of a smile making it's way onto her face. He wasn't sure what she was talking about until he remembered his little outburst with the Drought.

"Yup! All mine!" He said, stealing a kiss from her. They laughed and joked with each other until they got word that the food was ready, then they got dressed. The king and everyone else in the palace thanked Luke profusely, but at that moment all he wanted was food.

After nearly eating himself into a food coma, Luke went back to sleep with Viola wrapped in his embrace. He thought about taking her with him, but she had only just gotten her family back together, and it wouldn't be fair to her to ask her to leave with him.

He also realized this wasn't just an intimate relationship like he thought, knowing he would have fought an Emperor to save her if he had too.

In the morning, he fooled around with Viola in the early hours before the sun came up, then he had to be on his way. "I'll be here anytime you need me, alright? And call sooner! I don't want you to cut it so close like that again." Luke said as he and Viola said their goodbyes.

"I won't." She said with a warm smile. She loved how he worried about her, and as long as he was in her life, she was happy. She still didn't like how he had multiple women in his life, but she wasn't about to tell him to stop just yet.

With the goodbye dragging out, Luke felt it was time to take his leave. He waved to the few people who came to see him off, then he shot off into the sky, although he didn't head back to the sky islands. Instead he headed towards the Emperor's territories, a cruel smile on his face.

'I'll teach you what happens when you try to take what's mine!' Luke thought darkly. He traveled to 5 different islands, three in Kaido's territory and 2 in Big Mom's.

Every pirate associated with either of the two Emperor's were violently killed without mercy, with their corpses on display, spelling a message just as Jack had done all those years ago.

"THIS IS THE BEGINNING!!"

He hoped that both Emperor's would be a lot more cautious in the future, but he didn't hold high hopes for it. He made a mental note to come to the New World every few weeks and harass their crews and allies, so they would have far less people when it was time to rally for the war.

He was just finishing up his business when he noticed a small group of marine ships approaching his position, but the odd thing was that they were flying the white flag.

"A trap....?" Luke mumbled, stretching his Haki out to the max, but there was no one else. He decided he would hear them out before he killed them, otherwise he might miss something important.

Instead of waiting for them to dock their ship and come to the island, he appeared on the largest ship, crouched down and ready to attack if this was a set-up. The marines noticed him right away, and after a few shouts, all of the ships came to a halt and three people, who Luke assumed were in charge came forward to talk to him.

"Greetings Mr. Strauss!!" One of them said, sounding respectful, but Luke could feel the terror the man felt with his Haki. "What do you want?!" Luke asked, not caring for niceties. After all, the marines weren't exactly his favorite people.

"Right to the point! I like that! The Fleet-Admiral wishes to have a word with you!" The same marine said, making Luke furrow his brows. 'The Crimson Puppy?' He thought, wondering what he would have to say to him.

"I don't care what he wants! Now you have 20 minutes to get the fuck out of my sight before I start tearing you apart!" Luke shouted, letting lightning dance across his body as a show of power.

"IT'S ABOUT YOUR CAPTAIN!!" The man shouted, fearing that Luke would attack them before they could accomplish their goal.

'About Jack?!' Luke thought, his mind racing through possibilities, but in the end he couldn't come up with anything.

"You have 5 minutes to explain!" Luke said, pointing his sword at the man who had been the speaker thus far. The guy didn't speak anything else, instead he pulled a Transponder Snail from his pocket and placed it in front of Luke.

"Luke Straus!!" A deep gravelly voice bellowed, pulling Luke's attention to the Transponder Snail in question. "Crimson Puppy!!" Luke shot back, making the man on the Transponder Snail get visibly angry.

It took Akainu a few seconds to calm himself down before he said, "A man who is being fooled shouldn't act all haughty to the people trying to help him!" Akainu said, making Luke frown.

"What bullshit are you barking about now?!" Luke asked, tired of talking to the Puppy already. "You are being fooled by Jack Sparrow!! He just wants to use your power to get what he wants!! He wants to rule the world, but he knows he isn't strong enough, so he is feeding you full of lies!! He kills anyone who isn't useful to him!!" Akainu roared, making Luke's lips curve up into a smile.

"Not one person in the world, let alone in the Association would believe a word you said, Puppy!! And the next time you feel like telling your lies, tell someone who gives a damn!" Luke said, completely brushing off Akainu's claims.

"You know... There are consequences to every action, and I don't think you'll like what this stupid little plan of yours will bring." Luke added quickly, not wanting to hear anymore than he absolutely needed to from the marines.

He left them with a finally message, that to anyone who heard it sounded like multiple voices speaking at once. "I'LL MAKE SURE YOU DIE SCREAMING ALONG WITH SCUM YOU CALL MASTERS!!" Luke shouted as he grabbed the Transponder Snail and ended the call.

"I won't kill you all today, but if I ever see any of you again, I'll end you!!" Luke stated to the now terrified marines around him. No matter how badly he wanted to kill them, they came under the white flag, and that was something not even he would desecrate, even if they were trying to feed him some bullshit lie.

With his good mood all but ruined, Luke shot off into the sky until he was staring down at a crescent island, the very one which was the origin of fear to most pirates. Luke could sense a lot of powerful people inside the the large building, but he came for something else.

Looking to the harbor, he saw dozens of large battleships with marines walking all around. There was also an extremely fancy looking ship, and if he wasn't wrong, it belonged to a Celestial Dragon.

'It's like he wanted me to kill his master!!' Luke thought with a dark chuckle. He didn't bother letting his presence be known, instead he charged up massive amount of power in his hand before he let bolts of lightning rain down of the ships, igniting most of the grand fleet in a matter of seconds.

Not knowing if the Noble was aboard the ship or not, Luke made sure to leave nothing of that ship standing, incinerating it with everyone on it. With the marine ships, he watched as kegs of gun powder exploded, causing waves of chaos to unfold.

As the marines ran for their lives, Luke's gaze was locked onto a group of people who stood atop the HQ building, mainly the man dressed in the Fleet-Admiral uniform. With a mock-salute and a cruel grin, Luke mouthed the word "CONSEQUENCES!!" before he disappeared from everyone's view.

Akainu had tried sending Kizaru after him, but the man refused, saying it was most likely a trap, but it probably had more to do with his laziness than anything.

The marines agreed they would keep this information from the public, otherwise it would turn the masses against them even more than they already were, especially the death of the World Noble. Although the Five Elders had been outraged at the call, they too declared that the public could not know about this.

Luke meanwhile rushed all over Paradise, throwing anyone who might be on his trail off, then made his way back to Nojiko and the others. Finding them was a bit trickier than he thought because they were no longer in the sky islands, but were in paradise.

When he found them, they were all having a shopping trip in Water 7, but the odd thing was that Makino wasn't with the group. "Hey ladies! What did I miss?" Luke said as he appeared in front of everyone.

"Luke!! It's about time you showed up!!" Selene said, running over to him. Rubbing her ears the way she liked, Luke asked, "Where's Makino?" Everyone shot each other weird looks, but that just made Luke even more curious. "She's with her boyfriend!" Soran finally said, although she seemed a little too happy about it.

"Boyfriend? Makino?!! Who?!!" Luke asked all at once, never having heard about this before. "Don't worry about it! They've been together for a long time, and she finally got to see him, so calm down!" Nojiko said, not sounding nearly as shocked as Luke thought she would be.

"Who is it?! And how come you don't seem so shocked?!!" Luke asked disbelievingly as he pointed a finger at Nojiko. "Makino told us girls about it over a year ago. It didn't seem like something you needed to know, so we didn't tell you. As for who he is.... he's Shanks." Nojiko answered, causing Luke's jaw to almost hit the floor.

He knew who Shanks was, and he also knew Nojiko wouldn't joke about something like that. Looking around, he saw Garp with a pissed off look on his face, and he wasn't even touching the food in front of him. "What's his deal?" Luke asked, signaling to Garp.

Looking over to Garp, then back to Luke, Nojiko answered, "He took the news a little too hard, and Makino had to plead with him to not kill Shanks." Luke let them tell him the story, and by the end of it he was speechless.

"You think you know somebody and then you find out something like this." Luke said as he shook his head. Nojiko didn't bother telling him that he of all people shouldn't be saying that, instead she continued reading a magazine.

Makino didn't show up for a few more hours, but when she did she was by herself. Shanks was already gone from the island, and Luke was a little bummed out. He wanted to talk with him, but that was apparently one of the reasons Makino didn't let Shanks bring her back.

That and she didn't know if Garp would hold himself back from trying to strangle him again like an overprotective father. Once they got everything sorted out, they decided they had seen enough for one trip and decided to head back to East Blue.

(End of Flashback)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Literally nothing else exciting happened on the way back." Luke said, making a few people wonder just what the hell was wrong with him. Jack was the only one who seemed to brush past the whole situation, somehow always making it look like these sort of things were nothing.

"I can work with this!! Although I'll need you to help me attack a few more of the Emperor's islands before we're in the clear." Jack said, bringing music to Luke's ears. "Just give me a time and place!" Luke said, already wanting to go kill even more of them.

"Wait!! You're not interested in Makino and Shanks?!" Smoker asked, looking to Jack who had brushed past a topic that was no small matter. It was actually a huge matter if one knew who Shanks was.

"I've known about it for awhile. And unless she tells me he did something to hurt her, it's none of my business. Just like yours and Robin's relationship isn't any of our business." Jack said, making Smoker stop, then give a nod of approval.

"I still don't like it!!" Garp said, popping his head through the doorway, having eavesdropped the entire time. "Of course you wouldn't!!" Jack said with a laugh.

Now that he had the full story, he figured he could go and weaken the Emperors hold on the New World a bit. Just because the date for the war was set for two years from now, did not mean everyone was just gonna keep to themselves for the time being.

Jack was broken out of his thoughts as Nami walked into the room and said, "Hey Jack. There is a guy outside, saying he has an order you put in with him."

Jack stood up immediately and rushed out of the room, getting a few confused looks from everyone else before they too rushed out to see what all the excitement was about.

Jack on the other-hand was more than excited, he was thrilled. 'I can't believe he finished so far ahead of schedule!!' He thought as he rushed outside.
