User:Kaido King of the Beasts/Sandbox

Throughout the series new crewmates have joined, some of them heavily hinted while others come out of nowhere. People of all ages, shapes, and sizes have joined, with Chopper not even being human. Even former antagonists have joined the crew, like Robin and Franky, while close allies have decided to decline, like Vivi. Thus, it is incredibly difficult to determine whether or not a character will join the crew.

However, Oda has established a set pattern for crewmates. Each crewmate's past will be explored, and they will have a dream that they wish to achieve. This does not necessarily mean that everyone whose past is explored and has a dream will join the crew. Luffy has stated that he would like to have a crew of 10 members, but it is unknown if that number will be achieved.

During the Fishman Island Arc, Luffy asked Jinbe to join his crew, and Jinbe accepted, although he still had business to do elsewhere.

Sabo's Memories
Sabo walks up a hill toward Ace's and Whitebeard's graves. He sits in front of Ace's grave and talks to his deceased brother, saying how Luffy and his crew had just come back. He then pours three cups of sake on the gravestone and remembers his adventures with Ace and Luffy. Twelve years ago, they ran through the forest as children, with Luffy struggling to keep up. They came to a cliff by the sea, and Sabo expressed his wish to leave Goa Kingdom and be free. Ace swore to beat everyone and become the most notorious pirate in the world, and Luffy also made a declaration. Later, Ace poured three cups of sake, and said that if the three of them exchanged these cups they would become brothers, and they did so. They continued running, with Luffy still falling behind.

A flashback of the Battle of Marineford is then shown, with Luffy having just landed on Marineford along with the other Impel Down escapees. Luffy yelled that he would save Ace as he ran through Marineford, defeating any Marines that attempted to stop him. After evading a blast from Kizaru, Ace attempted to degrade Luffy's will by telling him he was too weak in order to save Luffy. However, Luffy said Ace was his brother and he would save him no matter what as he took down a giant and ran up the platform leading to the execution platform. However, Garp got in his way, saying he had to stop Luffy. Luffy remembered Garp dragging him through Goa ten years earlier, saying he had to become a powerful Marine officer. Garp then introduced Luffy to Ace, telling his grandson to be nice to him.

At Marineford, Garp declared that Luffy's and Ace's life choices made them his enemy as he readied a punch. However, Luffy managed to knock Garp off the platform and he reached the top. Sengoku then used his Devil Fruit powers to attack Luffy, destroying the platform in the process. However, a ball of fire rose up, with Luffy and a freed Ace inside it. Ace berated Luffy for risking his life to rescue him as he attacked a Marine, ready to protect his brother. Ace then took out several Marines with Hiken, and was then attacked by Aokiji. However, their abilities canceled out. Whitebeard then ordered his men to retreat while he provided a sacrificial distraction, and Ace followed his orders. However, Akainu insulted Whitebeard's tactic, calling him and his crew weak. This caused Ace to become enraged and attack Akainu, but Akainu's magma overpowered his fire and he was sent flying back. Luffy then stared at Ace's Vivre Card with a shock, causing Akainu to take advantage of this and go after him. However, Ace threw himself in front of Akainu and took his magma fist, collapsing. A dying Ace told Luffy that without him and Sabo he would have lost the will to live. He thanked Luffy and his crew for loving him before dying in Luffy's arms, causing Luffy to collapse in anguish. In the present, Sabo reveals that Ivankov told him all about what happened at Marineford, and expresses his regret that he couldn't go save Ace. Sabo begins to cry as he wishes that he could have seen Ace one more time, and he drinks out one of the sake cups, promising to inherit Ace's will.

Arrival on Dressrosa
Sabo heads to Dressrosa on a Revolutionary mission. Disguising himself, he eats at a restaurant served by a toy that repeatedly scares him due to body parts unexpectedly popping off. Koala tells Sabo about how Doflamingo became king ten years ago after saving the county from the previous king, Riku Dold III, who had acted like a tyrant. However, Koala and Sabo know that suspicious activity has happened during Doflamingo's reign, and Koala reveals the abilities of Doflamingo's subordinates, the most important of which was the unknown Sugar's ability to turn people into toys. Sabo then realizes that that must mean all the toys on the streets were once human and that they must be suffering. On the street, a toy robot tugs on the arm of his son Antonio, trying to get him to remember who he is. However, Antonio cries, and his mother Maria pulls her husband off him. The robot is then dragged away by police, begging his wife and son to remember him. Inside the restaurant, Koala reveals that she noticed ships heading to and from somewhere, meaning there was an underground port somewhere. She also states that the only other places she hasn't checked are the palace and the Corrida Colosseum due to tight security. Sensing something is up, Sabo decides to investigate the Colosseum, but Rebecca just laughs and says Hack has already gone undercover there. Just then, Koala gets a Den Den Mushi call from Hack, who reveals the prize for winning the Colosseum tournament, which shocks Sabo and causes him to tip over his glass.

Several hours later, the Straw Hat Pirates, Trafalgar Law, Kin'emon, and Momonosuke sail towards Dressrosa. They prepare to activate their plan, where Law, Usopp, and Robin will take Caesar Clown to Green Bit to hand him over to Doflamingo. During this, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, and Kin'emon will invade Dressrosa and destroy the SMILE Factory. Meanwhile, at the Corrida Colosseum, Gatz the announcer gets the crowd riled up and announces that Doflamingo has a special prize waiting as Doflamingo comes on screens all around Dressrosa. Doflamingo then announces to the cheering citizens that the prize for winning the tournament would be the Mera Mera no Mi, the Devil Fruit eaten by Ace, and Luffy is shocked to hear the news. Inside the colosseum, the gladiators clamor and announce their intentions to win the fruit. At this time, Sabo makes his way toward them, wearing a cloak to disguise himself. He makes eye contact with Hack, as Doflamingo warns everyone that Diamante, the Hero of the Colosseum, would also be fighting for the fruit. As Doflamingo's broadcast ends, he walks back to the throne and laughs about how stupid the people are. Knowing Luffy would certainly show up, Doflamingo tells Diamante he is relying on him to dispose of Luffy, which Diamante gleefully affirms. At the Colosseum, Sabo is angry at Doflamingo for turning Ace's fruit into a spectacle.

Straw Hat Grand Fleet Navibox
The Tenryubito Incident was an event that took place on Sabaody Archipelago. After Monkey D. Luffy punched a member of the Tenryubito, an Admiral was called in as well as Bartholomew Kuma and several Pacifista. The end results were the swift defeat of nearly all of the Eleven Supernovas and the annihilation of the Straw Hat Pirates, who with the exception of Luffy would not be seen again for two years.

Prelude
At the Human Auctioning House, an auction is taking place, with Keimi being one of the "items." The Straw Hat Pirates attend the auction with the intention of buying Keimi's freedom, and the Kid Pirates and Heart Pirates show up as well. Halfway through, Saint Charloss and his family arrive, with Charloss wanting to buy a mermaid, although Roswald warns him of the unlikeliness. Soon, Disco decides to bring out Keimi.

Keimi's appearance astonishes the audience, and the Straw Hats get ready to bid for her. However, Charloss makes his first bid of 500,000,000, shocking the audience as no one could afford to outbid that. The Straw Hats and Hatchan get angry and frustrated at this turn of events, debating whether to get her out by force. Suddenly, Luffy, Zoro, and Franky come crashing through the roof on a Flying Fish. Luffy's arrival shocks the audience, and Luffy runs toward Keimi when he sees her. Hatchan tries to chase Luffy, but the crowd expresses shock and disgust due to him being a Fishman. While Luffy continues running, he suddenly hears a gunshot, and turns around to see that Charloss has shot Hatchan in the back. Charloss celebrates at his capture, and an enraged Luffy walks up the stairs toward him. Hatchan tries to stop Luffy, saying that Luffy promised not to enrage the Tenryubito. Charloss tries to shoot Hatchan again to stop him from talking, but Luffy goes up to him and punches him in the face.

The Chaos Starts
Everyone in the building is mortified to see what Luffy has done, although his crew members forgive him. An enraged Roswald tries to shoot Luffy, but Sanji kicks his gun out of his hand. A guard attacks Sanji, but he easily shatters the guard's armor. More guards are sent after the Straw Hats, who fight to get to Keimi's tank. Roswald finally reaches his breaking point and yells to call an Admiral and his battleships immediately. Hearing this causes many of the citizens to run outside in fear, and Zoro cuts apart Keimi's tank, freeing her. Right then, more Flying Fish break into the building, and Brook, Robin, and Usopp enter. Disco and Roswald attempt to keep Keimi and the other slaves under their control, when suddenly Usopp falls on Roswald, slamming him into the ground.
