******

The crew and the Evil Rog- Nice Roger Pirates, partied in the castle with Kuzan and Garp for a few days.

They were all talking and Isabella was happily talking to Roger, then she suddenly ran to the bathroom and threw up. Hiro froze and Ace started to sweat bullets, turning completely white. Rayleigh, Garp, Roger, Oden, Shanks, and Douglas grabbed Hiro and held him back as he clawed at Ace, shouting "I'LL KILL YOU! I'M REALLY GOING TO RIP YOU TO PIECES! MY BABY! YOU FUCKING DAMN BRAT! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Roger and the rest laughed and Ace started running, while the crew laughed.

A while later

Hiro was chained to a chair and blowing out steam, glaring at Isabella and Ace. Isabella said "I was gonna tell you-" Hiro rattled the chair and fell sideways as Zerotwo smiled and said "You girl, really." she sighed and added "This is a very big responsibility, Izzy." Isabella said "I know! I'm ready." Zerotwo held her hand and smiled "I hope so, baby."

Isabella smiled and held Ace's hand.

Ace smiled and gulped saying "Um... I will protect them." Hiro roared "YOU FUCKING BETTER, YOU PIECE OF-" Zerotwo pinched his lips shut and smiled "I'm sure you will, honey." Roger scratched his head and said "I just can't believe this. I'm gonna be a grandpa..." he laughed "Well, not really! Wahahahaha!"

Ace looked sad and Roger patted his shoulder saying "Come with me, kid." before walking away. Ace followed him and the rest of the crew watched them go. Luffy mumbled "I wanted to fight the former King of the Pirates..." Rayleigh smacked his head and said with a chuckle "Yeah, yeah, sure you did."

Luffy chuckled and rubbed his head.

Franky crouched in front of Hiro and said "Hello! I'm Franky! Can I ask you some questions about the ship you made?" Hiro looked at him and said "I know who you are, Cutty Flam. Jeez, Tom really didn't tell anyone, eh? Some teacher he was, HMPH!"

Franky was stunned and Douglas drank from his glass saying "You didn't know? Tom was Hiro's teacher. They even built the Oro Jackson together." Franky's eyes widened and he said "WHAT?! REALLY?!" Hiro nodded and said "You want to know how to make the inside of the ship bigger? I didn't learn that from Tom."

He broke the chains and sat on the ground, making everyone's eyes twitch.

He drew on the ground "It's magic, basically. Enchanting the cabin itself...." then he spouted a bunch of magical knowledge, confusing Franky, who asked "Can I learn magic?" Hiro shook his head and said "No, but! If you get the Space Devil Fruit, you can do the same thing with a lot of practice."

Franky wilted and Hiro said "But! You can do other things..." then he went on a mechanical spiel, Franky was awed and started taking notes.

A while later

They had a tearful goodbye with Roger and Hiro sent him back to the moment he took him along with Oden and Toki after Yamato got an autograph, obviously.

Luffy and the crew were ready to leave and Hiro brought them underground to the two Poneglyphs. He stole Kaido's and took Big Mom's, he gave them to the crew and said "Rub it." before leaving and grabbing Yami.

Hiro brought Yami to the kitchen and sat him down, leaving Yachiru with the rest. Hiro sat across from him and tapped on the table saying "So?" Yami said "So what?" Hiro smiled and said "So you went through some shit, eh? Do you hate me for not helping you?"

Yami was silent for a few moments before shaking his head, saying "You told me you weren't helping me... I just..." his eyes turned red and he looked down "Why is Isabella different? Why do you do everything for her, but not me!" Hiro looked at Yami and said "Kid, look at me."

Yami looked up to see Hiro's soft smile, he added "Yami, you have made me so incredibly proud. I love you more than anything in the world. You're my only son, my little baby. Your mother feels the same way. Every time I see you hurt I wonder if it's worth it to put you through these things instead of giving you everything in life, but then I see your growth and comeback after every set back. The way you break your limits every single time..."

He got up and looked out the window, wiping his eyes as he continued "It makes me happy, so incredibly happy to see you getting stronger. You're 18 years old and hundreds of times stronger than I was at 18. You could say that it's because of me, but I don't think so! All the things you went through during these years... 11 years since I left you on your own... You've gone above and beyond what I expected of you."

He laughed "When you get stronger it's like I'm getting stronger, that's how excited it makes me. As your father, I can't even describe to you how proud I am. You're so amazing. You're so much better than I was at 18..." he looked outside, reminiscing about when he was really 18 before he died, and added "Anyway, anyway, what I wanted to say was that you're my life's greatest work. I love every bit of you."

Suddenly!

He was hugged from behind.

Hiro smiled and patted Yami's arms saying "Come on, what is this? Don't get sentimental on me, kid." Yami said "I'm not! I'm trying to hurt you!" Hiro smiled softly and said "You're 1000 years too young to do that..." Yami cried silently and whispered "You're leaving aren't you."

Hiro froze and said "Wha-" Yami cut him off, saying "I can tell. Dad... You don't-" Hiro said "Yami." Yami stopped speaking and Hiro said "You're not a kid anymore. Eventually, you're going to have your own adventures in places that even I can't come help you in. You know that I don't like staying in the same place for too long."

Yami said "But Izzy's pregnant! You're not gonna-" Hiro said "No, I'm not." Yami was stunned and Hiro added "I talked about it with your mother. We're not staying. Seeing the baby is only going to make us want to stay. We've already decided."

Yami said "But what about-" Hiro patted his shoulder and said "Don't worry about it. I already have a plan. The island is going to the both of them, I'm unsealing Izzy. There won't be any problems. With her Magic, Ninjutsu, Etc, she won't have any issues. Even if the planet explodes."

Yami was silent and looked at Hiro before asking "Dad. Then what about me." Hiro looked at him and smiled "I told you, I was proud of you. You think I just toss that word around casually? I have something for you..."

He walked to the table and put down 2 glowing balls of light, there was a big one and a smaller one they were attached with a light string.

Hiro looked at Yami and said "The big one is for you, the smaller one is for you little wife." Yami blushed and said "Dad..." Hiro laughed and said "Don't worry about it. This is what you earned with your efforts." he snapped his fingers and Yachiru appeared, looking confused.

Yami smiled and said "What is it?" Hiro smiled mysteriously and said "Why don't you take it and find out?" Yami said "Ruru, grab the small one." as he grabbed the big ball of light. Yachiru did the same and they both touched the balls at the same time.

The balls disappeared and Yami was stunned. Hiro smiled and walked away, leaving Yami and Yachiru to their devices. He got that from Muzan's death anyway. It belonged to Yami in the first place.

He smiled to himself and prepared a gift for Isabella. Zerotwo came and smiled, helping him and putting in things of her own. They made a big gift bag and left it on the kitchen table with a note, they saw the crew off and said "Isabella! Ace! You're leaving?" Ace was confused and Isabella said "Eh?"

Hiro smiled and said "There's a gift for you on the kitchen table." Zerotwo added "Baby... Maybe you shouldn't go... Since you're pregnant and all..." Ace looked at Izzy, who looked troubled, Luffy said "I've decided! You have to stay!"

Ace was stunned and said "Luf!?" Luffy said "Your dad is gone, your kid doesn't need to be the same. Stay here." Ace was stunned and smiled "Thanks, Lu." Luffy smirked and said "Let's go!" The 4 waved at the leaving crew, Hiro gave Yami a thumbs up and a warm smile.

Yami teared up and waved before turning away.

Hiro smiled and said "Get in that castle, you damn brats." Isabella and Ace smiled and Hiro said "Izzy! Daddy loves you." Isabella froze and Zerotwo smiled "Mommy too." she turned around and said "Please don't!" they just smiled and shook their heads.

She started crying "Please!" Hiro hugged her, saying "Baby. We'll be here as Shadow clones." he patted her back and unsealed her, she hugged him tight and said "But why! You don't want to see the baby?!" Zerotwo kissed her head and smiled gently, saying "Baby, we can't or else we will stay here. We can't be here your entire life."

Isabella started crying hard and Hiro rubbed her back gently before looking at Zerotwo and saying "I told you we should've left before." Zerotwo sighed "I wanted to say good bye..." Hiro shook his head and kissed Isabella's forehead as he said "We love you, baby. We'll see each other again. I promise."

Isabella backed off and sniffed, holding out her pink saying "Pinky promise?" Hiro teared up and hooked her pinky saying "Pinky promise." she wiped her eyes and walked away, Zerotwo wiped her eyes and Hiro said "You better take good care of her... Or else." Ace said "Of course!" Hiro nodded and said "Good."

He and Zerotwo left Shadow Clones and flew away.

They came to Mariejoie and said "What do you think, love?" Zerotwo said "Last gift." as she stretched out her hand and clenched her fist.

The 5 elders and IM exploded out of nowhere and died.

Hiro looked and saw the light screen before saying "Done." Zerotwo smiled and said "Let's go, Darling." Hiro nodded and smiled "Yeah." before he held her hand and crushed a token, they both flashed and disappeared from the world.
