Alexander came to the sea restaurant Baratie before leaving for conquering Paradise. He needed to deliver Sanji's sister to him.
The sea restaurant had become quite famous in just a short time. It had 4 floors and 5 chefs. Sanji had started learning from Zeff diligently.
"Boy, I brought someone for you." Alexander landed on the deck.
Sanji happily came out to greet him, "What is it, Grandpa?"
Alexander brought out his sister Reiju. Sanji's face grew a big smile the moment he saw her and ran to hug her.
"Reiju, how? What happened?" He asked.
"Grandpa here saved me. Father was punished by him and brothers were sent with someone to be his bodyguards. I decided to come to you." She said.
"Yeah, she has nowhere to go. She can either live on Dawn Island or here." Alexandre explained.
Sanji repeatedly nodded, "Yes-yes, you can live here with me. This ship has a lot of rooms."
Soon Zeff also came and gave his permission. He knew about Sanji's past and was happy that he could have some family.
With that, Alexander left for the Grand Line. He was starting from the island closest to the Reverse Mountain. But first, he appeared at the Twin Cape.
"How are you, Crocus?" Alexander asked the lighthouse keeper.
"Haha, old man, so you've decided to finally take over." He asked. Crocus was an informant of Alexander. He kept an eye on the ships that enter the Grand Line.
"Haha, yeah, finally. Where is Laboon?" he asked.
"Ah, he must be somewhere close. LABOOON!" He called for the giant whale.
Soon a big cute whale poked its head out of the water. It started making cute noises when it saw Alexander.
Alexander knew about the story of Laboon and the first time he saw him he had many scars on his head. Alexander treated his injuries and slowly they built a friendship.
"Laboon, I brought your favorite food." He said and took out a huge piece of deep-fried fish.
"Eaaaaaa"
Alexander turned around and noticed Noodles also looking at Laboon's food longingly. "Haha, I got some for you too. Here"
...
Meanwhile, a small group of young and ambitious boys and girls decided to set sail and make a name for themselves. Though the most excited one of them was Luffy.
Franky alone built a ship from scratch for his group. It needed to be big because so many of them were going. The crew had Luffy, Law, Robin, Sabo, Franky, Gina(Baby 5). Not to mention Rina and Gali also tagged along for fun. Their group already was strong enough to beat any Yonko with Rina and Gali.
They first came to Shells Town where they found a man named Zoro. He quickly joined their already big Pirate group after a good beating from Rina.
But in their way, they were attacked by the giant goldfish.
"Eaoooaaaa" Noodles said something.
"Haha, okay, you fight this time." Alexander let him.
Noodles bravely went ahead and confronted the giant foe. Though it did take a little help from Alexander. But still, Noodles had his first victory in a battle that day.
Alexander let Noodles roam around the shores of the island and went to Alabasta with Dobby.
Dobby was reading something from his notebook, "So, this Alabasta kingdom is said to be more than 6000 years old. Its royal family, Nefertari, were one of the twenty kingdoms but they refused to live in Mary Geoise and stayed back. And they seem to have a poneglyph."
"Haha, they seem like a respectable family. Let's meet them," Alexander interjected.
...
Meanwhile, Luffy and his big group had now reached Alabasta's shores where they met Vivi.
But they all stopped and looked at the sea near them. They saw a huge Seaking playing in the water with a big inflated ball.
Luffy and the people who lived in the Goa Kingdom recognized him.
"Oye, Noodles. What are you doing here?" Luffy asked. He was always able to talk to him somehow.
"Eaaaa Ooo" Noodles replied and got back to his playing session.
"Haha, Grandpa is here, Vivi. You don't have to worry one bit now." Luffy assured her.
Vivi was confused, including Ussop, Zoro, Nami, and Chopper.
"Who is your grandpa?" they asked.
"Ah, I didn't tell you? That man in the photo." Luffy pointed to the backside of the newspaper Robin was reading.
It took a moment for everyone to digest it before they loudly exclaimed with jaws dropping and eyes popping.
[A/N: If you feel that Strawhats' progress is too fast then keep in mind that between the beginning of Luffy's adventure till the Marineford war, only 6-9 months went by. Meanwhile, for us, 11 years had passed.]
