Part 2
A second jump in time, while not a major event, contains a good bit of fluff and some exposition of things that happened since the Payback War. This will also be last part taking place on Great Blue, so expect a return to the Boiling Isles coming next
About a year and a half had passed since the events of the Payback War and Luz found herself in a rather rare occasion of calm and relaxation on a Summer island. She was currently relaxing on the beach of the island Soleil, a rather nice resort-like island that was under the crew’s protection, due to its own resources being a usual target for pirates and the World Government. The island locals didn’t want to be part of the WG, much to the government’s own annoyance, and thus had originally looked to Whitebeard’s Crew for protection from most outside forces. With the old man dead and his crew long since disbanded after the war, Jaune had made the choice to try and claim as much of Whitebeard’s old territory as they could. Before Others could get to it. 
They hadn’t been able to get to everything, Luz had some regret that they let Big Mom get to Fishman Island before they could, but regardless, they had been able to claim quite a bit. This had been the reason why things had been so busy for the last year or so. Not only was the crew starting to grow, as needed to make sure they could protect the islands they’d claimed, but the main crew had been turned into Commanders for divisions of the crew itself. Each now held their own ship to command and direct, normally operating in areas close to their territory to insure they could get to them if an attack should happen. Luz herself had been named the Fifth Division Commander and given a mass of pirates to command herself. It was nice to know that she was trusted, but man was it a lot of work to keep things running smoothly when she was away from the flagship and on her own. While her ship the “Owl Lady”, being a Galleon, was nice and spacious, it was just nice to be able to kick up her feet and relax for once. “Ah, so this is where you’ve been hiding.” Came a voice from behind her and a swift slap of a newspaper onto her face. “Been looking all over for you Luzy.” The voice continued as it made itself even more known by sitting right into her lap. Luz grunted from the sudden weight and pulled the newspaper down from her face with a bit of a disgruntled look. “Usagi… I’m relaxing here, it’s my day off.” She grumbled good naturedly, not at all unhappy to see her blond haired fellow commander and head navigator in her lap.
Even among most of the other members of the main crew, Usagi was an enigma of her own.
She was the Third Division Commander of the crew and currently stood at a bounty of 1.6 billion. A young blond woman, about the same age as Luz was now, her hair was cut much shorter than when they had first met 6 and half years ago. It now being cut to just past her shoulder blades, rather than being almost as long as the ship’s main mast. She may have only been half joking about that. She also liked to dress much more casually, wearing a simple silver tube top underneath a light blue jacket that was cut off at the midsection along with a pair of long jeans normally. At the moment of sitting on Luz’s lap, she was only wearing her jacket from her normal attire, the rest replaced with a silver swimsuit, not that she could go deep in the water, being a devil fruit user herself. She held a rather powerful Logia devil fruit called the Crystal Crystal Fruit, it’s powers allowing her to create, control, and become crystal itself. A power that made her effectively intangible to anyone that couldn’t use Haki or didn’t know her weakness. 
Of course, none of that was the strange part about Usagi herself. No, the strange thing was that unlike the rest of the main crew, she hadn’t been pulled here by some strange force or power. Rather, she had been reborn here after previously being a princess of some far off kingdom known as the Moon Kingdom, and having gone by the name Serenity until this lifetime where she had been given the name Usagi. Some galaxy spanning kingdom that covered all but one planet in the system and fell because of an outside force. A spell had been cast on the princesses of the kingdom to have them reincarnated on a single planet, but had somehow messed up and had her reincarnated on Great Blue instead. It was nearly unbelievable, if she wasn’t also able to use some magic of her own and been on a crew of equally odd individuals. 
“So, what’s this about exactly, Princesa?” Luz asked, moving the paper to the side instinctively as she knew the blond was going to snuggle her in the beach chair they now shared. As Usagi made herself comfortable next to Luz, she held the other side of the paper open for them both to read. “Well, Jaune thought you’d be interested to see today’s big news.” She grinned. The darker haired woman blinked as she looked up to the headline and couldn’t help but laugh. The headline read: Donflamingo Falls!! It then went into an article about how it was the alliance formed between “Straw Hat” Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates and “Surgeon of Death” Law of the Heart Pirates, that had taken down the powerful warlord and freed a country that he had taken over and declared himself king. At least that’s the information that was on the surface of the situation. “So they’re targeting Kaido, huh? Man the Worst Generation really does love to make noise.” Luz grinned as she read over the article. Like most higher level pirate crews, Luz and hers knew of Donflamingo’s black market activities. The man went by Joker, selling weapons, slaves, the works, all with protection from the government and one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, “King of Beasts” Kaido. “Seems that way,” Usagi giggled “but that’s not it, there’s word that back on Fishman Island, Straw Hat caused a bit of a ruckus there. He practically declared war with Big Mom to take Fishman Island as his territory instead. That was like a week ago” Luz let out another laugh and shook her head. “Straw Hat really does know how to start things doesn’t he? Next thing you know, he may come after us.” She grinned, continuing to read the article. It was fairly recent, but Jaune had been named the fourth Emperor of the Sea, taking the place Whitebeard had once held due to their increased territory in not only the second half of the Grand line, but even a few in the first half as well. This meant that he was considered on the same level as the likes of Kaido, Charlotte “Big Mom” Linlin, and “Red-haired” Shanks in terms of threat to the World Government. Usagi shrugged at that. “You never know, that could be his goal honestly, the guy is nuts.” She said honestly. “That he is, that whole crew is pretty nuts from the stories you hear. They’re gonna turn this whole world on its head, no doubt about it. And I for one hope I get to be there when it happens.” Luz grinned as she set the paper aside and went back to relaxing in the sun.
