Imagine Katakuri sitting still while his daughters cover him in glitter, nail polish, and hair clips đ Just imagine him having a sweet little bonding moment with his girls
SECRET BONUS/prequel to pocus -- katakuri is busy playing tea party with his daughters when his two sons attempt to party crashâwith a twist. luckily, sir dad is here to save the day.
cw: fluff, comfort, dad katakuri, katakuri is katakuri, the girls are adorable, he is thirty-five, you are thirty-four, soda is eleven, cocoa is eight, the twins are four, chai is two,
"So, tell me, Sir Dad, how goes your work in the Lollipop Court?" Cocoa asked in a British accent, tipping her nose in the air. "I heard you're working on a tough case."
Your large, floppy sun hatâwhich was entirely too bigâsat slightly crooked on her head, shading her face as she took a sip out of her empty, plastic tea cup.
Unsure of what to say, Katakuri hesitated a moment, quickly wracking his brain for something.
He had no idea he worked in the Lollipop Court, much less was currently on a case.
Hell, he didn't even know how Cocoa knew what a court case was.
"It goes... well..." he answered, unsure, as he raised a brow, his two, large fingers completely dwarfing the tiny teacup in their grasp.
"Daddy!" Latte loudly whispered, stealing his attention as she leaned over from her seat next to him, shielding her mouth from her older sister. "You gotta stick your pinky out! S'the tea party rules!"
Glancing down at his hand, he quickly corrected himself, before turning back to her.
"My mistake."
Promptly, Cocoa nodded, before turning to her younger sister.
"Lady Latte, how goes your fashion business?" she asked, fake eating a toy scone. "I must say, I loved your fashion show."
"It goes soooo good!" Latte grinned, her accent coming off more Valley Girl than British. "I just got finished making a new skirt! Look!"
She motioned toward her father, who was sitting in a chair entirely too small for him, his leather-clad knees pressed firmly against his bare chest.
Around his large waist sat an equally large, sparkly, pink tutu, which the young girl had actually managed to sew herselfâwith your assistance, of course.
"His hair! I did Sir Dad's hair!" Frappe chimed in, excitedly, pointing toward his spiky, pink hair, which was now haphazardly filled with all sorts of flowery clips and blows.
Proudly, Cocoa nodded, taking another "sip" of her tea.
"And, of course, I did a splendid job on his makeup."
Together, the girls' gazes shifted toward his face, where his cheeks were adorned with large, circular blotches of blush and matching pink eye shadow.
His usual neutral expression made him look like he'd rather be anywhere but there, but the girls knew their father and knew that wasn't what he meant by it at all.
"Fantastic jobs, everybody! Let's toast!" Cocoa cheered.
"Yeah!" Frappe and Latte agreed, raising their cups in the air.
But, for a moment, the girls paused, quickly realizing that none of them knew how to actually toast.
"Uhhh... nice work?" Cocoa suggested, unsure.
"Yeah, nice work!" the twins played along.
The four of them happily clinked their glasses togetherâKatakuri includedâpromptly taking a large sip.
Expectantly, Latte watched as her father downed his tea, waiting for his commentary.
"Whaddya think, Daddy? Do ya like it?" she whispered, excited. "I made it myself!"
Nodding, he leaned over, giving her soft head pats.
"It's delicious, munchkin," he complimented, heart warming when her eyes turned starry. "You did a very good job."
Cocoa and Frappe hummed in agreement, each pretending to take a bite out of a toy cucumber sandwich.
"Iâ"
Instantly, Katakuri's haki kicked in, showing him a rather tumultuous future.
'Oh, no.'
"RAH!" Soda exclaimed, bursting into the girls' room with a flourish, beginning the assault on his sisters with his two water guns. "TIME TO CRASH!"
"EEEEEEK!" the girls squealed, putting up their hands in defense as their older brother began to soak them.
Glancing around the room, the boy's eyes went wide when they set sights on his father, all princess-ified.
"Jeez! What the hell did you guys do to Dad?!" he grimaced, genuinely concerned.
"Hey! Sir Dad looks great!" Latte defended with a pout.
"Soda! Cut it out! You're ruining our tea party!" Cocoa whined, brows furrowed as she glared at him.
"And my hair!" Frappe chimed.
"And my dresses!" Latte added.
"Pssh! You call this a party?" he scoffed, a devilish grin curling on his lips. "What kinda crummy party has you sit down the whole time?"
"A tea party!" they all shouted together. "And we're not gonna let you ruin ours!"
With a knowing smirk, Cocoa turned to her younger sisters.
"Girls! Code Tea Cake!" she called out.
Confused, Katakuri raised a brow, crossing his arms over his chest.
'Code... Tea Cake?'
"Yeah!" the twins exclaimed, promptly flipping over the table as a shield and snatching up their own personalized BB guns from the underside.
"Let's go! Return fire!"
Without hesitation, each of the them began shooting back at their brother, raining a hail of BB pellets in an attempt to ward him off.
"ACK! HEY, NO FAIR!" he exclaimed, ducking behind a huge stuffed bear. "I'M USING WATER! YOU GUYS ARE USING BULLETS!"
"This is what you get for wetting my dress, ya big jerk!" Frappe called, not letting up.
"Get from behind, Mr. Fuzzykins, you coward!" Cocoa barked. "Don't take him down with you!"
Katakuri watched with a certain pang of prideâand a bit of amusementâas his girls defended themselves quite well, having each other's backs without question, and not running off crying like most girls their age would.
They were prepared for an assaultâwith both formation and weaponsâand fearless in their resolve.
It made him hopeful for the strong, independent women they would grow up to be, all thanks to yours and his tutelage.
"ABORT! ABORT! PHASE ONE IS A FAILURE! TIME FOR PHASE TWO!" Soda shouted into his toy walkie-talkie. "CHAI, YOU'RE UP! BRING IN THE SECRET WEAPON!"
Confused, the girls turned to each other, raising a brow.
"Secret weapon?"
Together, they all watched with anticipation as small footsteps began to pad toward the door, before their youngest brother popped out from behind it.
"Weapon!" Chai giggled, toddling into the room as he held the handle of a jump rope, the other end of it seeming to be attached to something.
Katakuri's eyes narrowed with suspicion.
'What theâ?'
"Someone help me!" you criedâfor pretend, of courseâas your youngest son "dragged" you into the room. "I've been captured!"
You were tied up by the rest of the rope, clad in a regal play-gown and toy crown.
"Oh, no! They got Queen Mommy!" the girls exclaimed, their smiles and giggles quite the contrast from their tone.
Play time was getting good.
At the sight, Katakuri let out a small chuckle, brow raising with intrigue.
Sure, he was nothing but a lowly worker in the Lollipop Court, but he had to say... the queen was quite the looker.
"Hold your fire!" Cocoa ordered, pushing down her sister's guns. "We gotta break her free!"
"But Soda's gonna spray us again!" Frappe glared, blowing raspberry at her brother as he peeked from behind the bear, dragging down his eyelid and sticking out his tongue.
"Sir Daddy! You have to save Queen Mommy!" Latte ran up to her father, frantically tugging at his tutu as she giggled. "Hurry!"
Raising a brow, he fought off a smirk, carefully placing his teacup on the ground.
"I thought I was a lawyer in the Lollipop Court?" he asked, feigning confusion.
"Yeah, well, you're a knight, too! Sir Daddy, remember?" she clarified.
"Ohhh, I see," he nodded, slowly standing from his seat. "Then let me get to work."
Quickly, he pulled off his tutu, wiping off the makeup on the back of his arm before shaking out the clips in his hair, returning to his usual, imposing self.
"Hey, no fair! You guys have Dad on your side!" Soda complained, brows furrowed.
"Sucks to suck, ya big jerk!" Cocoa taunted, amused.
"Quick! Chai! Knock her out and retreat!" Soda ordered, getting ready to run away.
Slowly, the toddler turned to his mother, balling up his tiny fist before softly tapping it against her leg.
"Out!" he babbled with a grin.
At his touch, you pretended to flinch, slowly falling backwards.
"Oh, no! I'm hit!"
"Save her, Daddy!" the girls squealed, happily, as they hugged each other.
"RUN, CHAI!"
In an instant, Katakuri was already there, capturing Soda and Chai before swooping in to catch you, bridal-style.
"Yay! He did it!" the girls cheered, jumping up and down.
"Dang it! That's is cheating!" Soda exclaimed, struggling against the jump rope he and Chai were tied up in.
"Yay! Dada!" the smaller boy cheered along.
"No, Chai... no yay."
"Wait! It looks like she's asleep!" Cocoa called out, realizing you had yet to "wake up".
"Oh, no! She's in a deep sleep!" Frappe snickered, turning to her twin. "You know what that means..."
"True love's kiss!" Latte squealed, clasping her hands together. "Sir Daddy! You have to break the spell!"
Disgusted, Soda's eyes bulged out his sockets, as if the idea was utterly absurd.
"No way! Gross!" he scoffed. "Don't do that here!"
Carefully, Katakuri cradled your neck, slightly lifting your head as he examined your face.
You were his queen, his personal princess just waiting to be saved.
Did he dare live out the cliche?
Thinking back on the fairy tales he read as a boy, he'd be a liar if he said he didn't think about being the handsome prince at least once.
But now, he truly was; and you were his fair maiden.
So, yes, he did dare.
Leaning down, he carefully pressed his lips against yours, wary of his sharp teeth at the odd angle as his grip on you shifted to one that held you like a dip.
You were warm and soft, and a sensation he'd missed in the past few hours of playtime.
"Awww!" the girls sighed, dreamily. "How romantic!"
"Barf!" Soda gagged, severely grossed out. "Cut it out! I don't need to see that!"
"Barf!" Chai mimicked, honestly unaware of what was going on.
"Hey, don't be a jerk, you two!" Cocoa scolded, brows furrowed as she rested her hands on her hips.
Slowly, your eyes fluttered open, greeted by the sight of your handsome husband.
You had been saved, andâas per usualâit was by the man you cherished so dearly.
"My, my, Sir Dad... what handsome teeth you have," you teased, arms wrapping around his neck
He let out a faint chuckle, amused, before deciding to play along.
Discreetly, his hand trailed upward to hold your thigh, his other sliding over to grasp the small of your back as he leaned down to whisper in your ear, making sure he was out of earshot of the kids.
"All the better to eat you with, my dear."
So an ask @teenage-mutant-ninja-freak got really has me thinking. So Iâm hoping on the train and giving my own two cents on the guys with an s/o whoâs ovulating and what goes down.
@tmntspidergirl did her own version so give it a looksie and some love!!
Liste my peeps, wow, what yâall getting yourselves into
Donnie KNOWS, ok and itâs not just cause heâs the smarty pants of it. You once told him when you were on your period and boy just made the calculations and knows when the next cycle happens
But hereâs the thing, the little issue. The first time you spend a week with him post menstruation and ovulating?
You know somethings off with him. Heâs acting all off and heâs so grabby with you especially in public (like in front of his brothers) I mean this man is straight up making you sit on his lap, heâs pawing at you and when did he become ok with kissing you like t h a t in front of people?
Donâs a private lad when it comes to you and his alone time
But heâs got you pinned against the sink one night while you were doing the dishes. And heâs so tall like when he leans down and nuzzles your ear and inhales the life out of you when he noses your hair the shivers my dudes
âI wanna put a baby in youâ he whispers against your ear
Well you just broke Leoâs tea mug
âExcuse me??â You try to turn your head but he presses you hard against the sink and his hands slide to your stomach
âYou heard meâ and itâs such a territorial tone like you have to make sure this isnât Raph and some fever dream. But not itâs Donnie, your big lovable nerd and why are you so for this idea all of a sudden?????
Letâs just say when you end up in his bed, Donnie absolutely railing the life out of you. Not once, not twice but an amount that leaves you so close to drunk on your own dopamine that youâve forgotten how to speak properly
You donât question when this large fucking terrapin is holding your legs to your chest after spilling himself in you.
Heâs breathing so hard, sweaty and grinning âDonât move love, keep all of me in youâ
You nod breathlessly not even registering what heâs just said but boy do you not move an inch until he tells you that you can
Drunk Drunk Drunk off your scent
I canât even begin to explain
Heâs in a stupor almost
Mikey.exe has stopped working
Heâs lowkey confused tbh like yes youâre hot but f u c k what is it about today that has you so HOTâąïž
Heâs so transfixed by you that you gotta ask
âOk do I have something on my face? Is there a stain on my shirt??â
Mikey is just eying you up and down and shakes his head
He scoots closer to you and heâs not rocking that goofy smile. Heâs legit studying you. Itâs so bizarre seeing him so hyper focused and serious.
And obviously youâre somewhat alarmed when he straight up starts sniffing you
Your neck, your shoulders, your chest
When he starts trailing down your stomach and youâre alarmingly looking around the living room cause MIKEY PEOPLE
It takes all of your resolve and actual praying when he just straight up buries his face in your clothes crotch and the âholy shiiiiiitâ and full body shudder that leaves him to not moan out into the open living room
The movie is background noise at this point and whatever has taken over your orange clad boyfriend is somewhat worrisome but not at all un welcomed
Especially when you find yourself trying to muffle your noises because Mikey had straight up slide you down the makeshift couch and onto the floor. Crawled over you and begged to be inside of you
Begged, like he was going to die if this didnât take place immediately
Itâs so not you and his usual style, there isnât the usual flirting and playful dirty talk Mikey gives you. He straight up telling you that he will Protect you, if anybody goes near you or tries something against you, omg they gonna be d-e-a-d. This lad has never been this serious.
Heâs promising you everything. Youâre his, and he is yours.
âYour my mate baby, youâre my mate oh godâ and how is such a simple word turning you into actual goo??
My condolences to your cervix seriously bro r.i.p pour one out for that homie
But hereâs the thing and ima do it to yâall
Sub!Leo has entered the chat
This is a time period you must take full advantage that heâs not gonna lowkey embarrassed about his subby tendencies
Heâs ready for you to boss him, use him, make him beg and plead for you
All with the most stupidfied and endearing precious look on his face
So obviously youâre convinced that maybe heâs having one of those daysâąïž cause Leo has days where he needs to to take over (we can delve into that subject later my dudes)
And in this state heâs been all afternoon while visiting you has been weird but naturally yâall end up in the bedroom
And you end up riding him (which he absolutely fucking loves when heâs being a freaking sub)
And god heâs so mesmerized with your hips tonight, grabbing them. Pushing you harder down on him (because heâs allowed per your commands) he wants to bury himself so painfully in you, heâs a man possessed about it
He begs for it, begs for you to allow him to push into you more and more âplease pleaseâ he says and he looks like heâll go mad if he doesnât
So you allow him to switch you guys up
Heâs on top but heâs still not running the show
âYouâre so good baby- fuck Lee yes yesâ and he is hiiiiigh of that and your scent how are you smelling this good, feeling this good? Itâs more than the usual senses that heâs experienced with you
And I hope you donât become a complete puddle when this lad starts pleading
Pleadingâąïž
Fearless Leader himself yes you heard it here first folks
Heâs pleading to cum inside of you, an absolute mess, he wants to mate with you, he wants to make you round with his child. He wants all of this only if only you allow it
He coos just how beautiful and glowing you would look and wow does the very thought of it make his thrust so pathetically sloppy
Youâve never felt so empowered then watching Leo cum completely undone and bury himself so far in you unwilling to pull out because he wants every last drop in you
âIâm yours, Iâm yours...please have meâ he sounds almost drunk
You hold him so close, kiss all up on him and tell his trembling self youâll gladly carry half of him and you inside of yourself
Your legs have left the chat
You donât know what being vertical means
Hi possessive Raphâąïž
Hi territorial Raphâąïž
The only time on the clock is baby making time
He is living, breathing and eating up your scent
Hooked on it, that shit is a drug to him and if you think his sex drive was high before
R.I.P to you my friend
This man isnât letting you leave the bed unless itâs for a bathroom break and some Gatorade and a protein bar
No area is safe in your house. He is going to fuck you in every part, against and/or on any possible surface
Itâs just a primal lightbulb turned on to the brightest setting in his head
All he knows is that he has to mate you, mark you and knock you up
All his dirty talk is focused on knockin you up. He wants to make a mother out of you, he wants you big and round with his child
And it ainât gonna be one đ
Big bara wants a bunch and heâs gonna do everything in his ability to give you a good amount in the first round
Seriously I fear for your well-being
But youâre absolutely OBSSESED with this side of him đ„Ž
I saw opportunity for whacky comedy and memes, and I took it.
Summary: A Movie Night turns out in a babysitting challange for the reader. Can they survive 4 adorable turtles before their dad arrives?
Tags: @turtle-babe83 @leosgirl82 @thelaundrybitch @madammuffins @sharpwindow @dilucsflame33 @m1dnyt3-w0lf @scholastic-dragon @pheradream-15
You truly don't know what happened. Probably never will. Probably that's for the best.
One night you were at the lair with Leo, Mikey and Raph watching a movie. It was the latest Fast and Furious, so Raph had to drag anyone he could to watch it. Donnie was at the lab. Splinter... apparently was in Chinatown. Brothers had found little communities across New York that truly accepted them and Splinter had benefitted from it by finding friends to play mahjong with, and judging by some of the more hilarious stories you heard from the brothers, god knows what else. Maybe if he was there that night....
Anyway. You went to the bathroom for maybe 5-10 minutes and when you returned it truly was a pandemonium. The lair looked like a grenade went off. The brothers were missing and your stress shot through the roof as you immediately hid behind the wall looking for hidden enemies.
Then you heard a cry. A child's cry. When you left the room there were no children as far as you knew! Investigating, you slowly re-entered the main area and headed to where....
A small turtle child has been crying sitting in the ocean that was an enormous pair of trousers. Trousers you remembered used to belong to Leo. Now that you looked closer there was his mask. Holy shit. What did Donnie do this time?
The child looked up and sniffled.
"Daddy?"
"Do I lo-" You sputtered, then took a deep breath in. No time to freak out. "Heeey little buddy." You knelt down. "What's your name?"
"Leo"
Fuck. You looked around and noticed similar pairs of trousers and accessories usually worn by the other ninja turtles. Sans the turtles.
"Do you know where are your brothers?" You asked gently. Leo shook his head and stretched his arms out to you. Oh gosh. You picked him up and cuddled the tot. You had no idea how old he was supposed to be. He was small. Truly a shocking discovery considering how large they grew to be as adults. What was Splinter feeding them???
You sat the boy on the sofa and wrapped him in a blanket. You turned to TV and switched channels looking for something more child-appropriate. There was some re-run of a really old cartoon and it had turtle boy as a protagonist named Franklin.
"Here you go." You smiled. "Whatch this while I look for your brothers, ok?"
He nodded. What a good boy. Maybe the others won't be as difficult... Your hopes were crushed as soon as you heard a loud crush coming from the kitchen.
There you found another turtle tot, free of clothes, climbing the cabinets and making a mess while eating peanut butter straight out of the jar. It was everywhere.
"Mikey!!" You called out, running to him. There was no denying who that was.
Unfortunately, as you shouted, the boy lost his balance and it was inevitable he was going to fall! You swan dove for him. The hard shell hitting you over your chest knocking the air out of you.
The turtle tot giggled. His face was fully covered in beanutbutter. You sighed.
"You welcome."
After carrying and bundling up the orange menace with Leo on the sofa you went to look for the other two. You went to check their father's room but found nothing. The gym, the arcade, you were approaching the dojo, when something nyoomed between your legs. You spun around trying to see what it was and the chonkiness of this one gave you an idea. Did he have something in his hand?
"Raph! What do you have there!"
"A ThAI!!" The tot yelled back with a mad cackle, holding a said over his head like a prize.
"NO!" That thing was sharp!!! It shouldn't be but it was!
You sprinted after him but damn he was fast! How was he this fast on those short stubby legs!! You had to outsmart him! Taking a bit of a short cut over the water canal you intercepted the little runner.
"Gotcha!!" You tossed quickly the weapon away. Raph wildly wiggled and loudly protestd on being carried. You held him in front of yourself unsure whether he'd bite you or not. He got grumpy and sulky when you immobilized him with a blanket. Then you noticed your turtle count was back to two.
"Leo, where is Mikey, sweetie?"
Leo pointed to the right and you could see the peanutbutter footprints. He was going to the garage. Oh no. You ran.
"Mikey?" Nothing. "Oooh Miiikeeeeyyy~. Where are you?" Garage and lab were Donnie zones. Power tools, tools that were definitely some sort of sci-fi inventions, sharp objects... Your stomach sunk at what could happen to an energy volcano that was little Mikey tot.
Something fell over and you turned around. Ther- no, that wasn't Mikey.
"Donnie?" You looked at the tall turtle boy with crooked eyeglasses on his head. Then you noticed that in one hand he had a blowtorch and the other hand hiding behind his back.
Your mind went back to the Sai you werestled out of toddler!Raph's hand. What weapon of mass destruction could this child be weilding?!
"What's in your hand?" You asked carefully.
He looked on the floor, taking a step back, looking guilty as fuck. "nOtHiNg".
He threw the blowtorch to the side. The other hand was still behind his back.
"Donnie... Show me what you have."
He shook his head adamantly taking a step back. Oh, he better not be running!
"Come over here!" You lunged forward. Wrestling a child wasn't on your Bingo card tonight but here we are!! Thank God, he didn't have the strenght of his adult self, you'd never win that match! He was still a slippery little fella. It took a lot of determination to pin him down! Soon enough you had him, holding his shell to your chest one arm around him and hand held up.
"What's in your hand?" You demanded to know.
The anwer was so quiet you almost missed it "a boogerâŠ"
Oh noooo. You released him. "Oh, I'm so sorry..." You turned him around. He definitely looked like he was about to cry. "Oh, sweetieee." You fucked up. "Hey, how about, you go to the TV and I'll come back later with an ice cream? And uh... poptarts?"
He reluctantly nodded. "Okay, you're a good boy." You hugged him and released him. You had the orange menace to find. Truly, your respect for Splinter grew.
The next morning you woke up, crushed over the full sized adult turtles sleeping on top of you under the blanket/pillow fort you have build last night. Splinter was staring at your face.
"You don't want to know," you said.
"Then I shan't ask..." he replied, amused.
I like the B team so much
Yup
That one
I want that one right there
"I accept!"

4 slasher bastards
I could feel my heart in my throat as I looked around to see that I was back at the big top. I looked down and I was still wearing the outfit that Buggy had me wear. âLuffy! Nami! Zoro!â I yelled. âTheir gone sweetheart.â Buggy said as he walked out of the shadows. âThey wouldnât do that. Zoro wouldnât do that to me.â I said. âWho do you think was the one to suggest leaving you.â Buggy said. âYouâre lying.â I said. Buggy came over to me putting a hand on my cheek and started to stork it with his thumb. I slapped it away and made a run for it out of the big top. But as soon as I ran out I was back in. So I tried again but just kept coming back inside of the big top. âYou can do that all day sweetheart but youâll never get anywhere but right here with me.â Buggy said. âI donât want to be here with you I want to be with my friends.â I said. âSome friends they are they abandoned you. They left you.â Buggy said. âShut up.â I said. âTheyâre glad that they left you. How long do you think it would have been before they decided leave you here. Come on sweetheart think about look what rubber boy can do, your so called protector fights with three swords, that girl with the tangerine hair is the navigator. What did you bring to that team sweetheart. You were nothing but a liability to them.â Buggy said. âShut up! Shut up! Shut up!â I yelled as I put my hands over my ears falling to the ground crying.
I felt hands gently remove mine from over my ears. But my eyes were still fixated on the ground. âSweetheart I want you to look at me.â Buggy said. But I didnât listen. âSweetheart please I would like to see those beautiful eyes of yours.â Buggy said. As tears rolled down my face I looked up at Buggy. Buggy put his hands on my face wiping away my tears with his thumbs. âDonât waste your tears over them sweetheart they donât deserve them.â Buggy said. âWhy wasnât I enough for them?â I asked. âYou were too good for them it was them that wasnât enough to have someone like you to be a part of their crew. My crew and I will never make you feel like that. We will never make you feel like a liability.â Buggy said. I just collapsed into his chest crying and clinging on to him as if my life depended on it.
I let out a gasp as I shot up. âYou okay there?â a voiced asked. I looked to see Nami. âJust a bad dream.â I said. âDo you want to talk about it?â Nami asked as she gave me a concerned look. âNot exactly right now but later.â I said. âWas it at least about that clown? You really went through it with him.â Nami said. âYeah. Can you not tell Zoro please I know heâs still pissed about all that happened.â I said. âDonât worry your secret is safe with me.â Nami said. âThanks Nami.â I said giving her a small smile. âWhy donât you go get some fresh air yeah.â Nami suggested. I nodded as I got up from where I was laying. But as I did I could see some water. âUh are we taking on water?â I asked. âZoro said that the toilet so I came to check it out.â Nami said. âBut we donât have a toilet.â I said. âThis is why youâre my favorite. Youâre smarter than the two idiots out there.â Nami said. I smiled as I walked passed her and went outside.
âHey Y/n look.â Luffy said showing me a jolly roger flag. Honestly it didnât look to bad. âIt looks really nice Luffy.â I said. âCan you help me convince Nami to let me hang it?â Luffy asked. âIf were going to need a new ship it would be kind of pointless to hang it up right now. But I will when we get a new ship.â I said. âYou mean it?â Luffy asked. I smiled and laughed a little. Luffy pulled me into a hug and lift me off the ground. âOkay. Okay. Put me down.â I said. Luffy did as I asked and I walked over sitting down next to Zoro. âDid you sleep okay?â Zoro asked. âIt was decent.â I said. âYou had a bad dream didnât you.â Zoro said. âI canât hide anything for you can I.â I said. âNo. No you canât. Did you want to talk about it.â Zoro said. âNami just asked me the same thing. I told her that I will later just not now.â I said. âYou better talk to me first when you do.â Zoro said. âNo I think Iâll talk to Nami first.â I said. Zoro gave me a playful glare. âYou know that I tell you anything first.â I said.
Then I saw Nami rush back out. âWeâre taking in water. What did you do?â Nami asked Zoro. âI didnât do anything.â Zoro said. âThe way youâre clanging those swords around all the time you must have broken something.â Nami said, âIf youâre such a good thief maybe you shouldâve stolen a better boat.â Zoro said. âGuys. Guys. Guys. Okay crew meeting.â Luffy said. âNot a crew.â Both Nami and Zoro said. âWell Iâm all ears.â I said. âWeâre going to need a better ship to make it to the grand line. A real pirate ship. Worthy of the straw hat crew.â Luffy said. âWait. Straw hat crew? Really?â Nami asked. âYeah I thought it had a nice ring to it.â Luffy said smiling. âDemon has a nice ring to it. Headgear? Not scary.â Zoro said. âWhoâs says pirates have to be scary?â Luffy asked. âUh just about everyone apparently.â I said. âThe point is we need a new ship. So where do we get one?â Luffy asked. Nami let out a sigh as she grabbed a near by book and started to look through it. âOur closest bet is the Gecko Islands. We can probably make it there before our ship sinks. Ditch this one and get a better one.â Nami said. âGood. With a working toilet.â Zoro said. âGreat job navigator.â Luffy said to Nami. My mind went immediately to the dream I just had. âThe girl with the tangerine hair is the navigator. What did you bring to the team sweetheart.â Buggys words echoed in my head. I felt someone nudge me. âIâm sorry what?â I asked. âYou okay there?â Zoro asked. I forced a smile and nodded. âIâm fine.â I said.
By some sort of miracle we made it Gecko Island. Nami went ahead of us to start looking for a ship. While Zoro, Luffy and I took care of the old one. We made sure that no trace of us was left incase someone found it. But I notice that Luffy didnât grab the flag he wanted to hang up. âUm Luffy you made sure to get rid or grabbed that jolly roger flag right?â I asked. âI think I might have left on the ship why?â Luffy asked. âLetâs just hope no one weâve ran into finds it because it might lead them straight to us. Come on we got to go wait for Nami.â I said as we both went to catch up with Zoro.
We found him in the town square. I started to look at one of the marqueeâs when I saw a wanted poster for Buggy. Luffy planted himself on the ground with his legs up on the marquee. I smiled as I looked down at him. âIâm going to laugh when someone steps on you.â I said. âYou got to be kidding me. That clown was worth 15 millions berry. I shouldâve stuffed his head in a bag and brought it with us.â Zoro said. âWhat marine would pay you that bounty anyway? Youâre kind of a wanted man yourself now.â Luffy said. âHmm. Didnât think of that.â Zoro said. Then Luffy flipped himself around and stood up. âAll the more reason to get to the grand line. Fresh start!â Luffy said patting Zoro on the shoulder. âRight.â Zoro said. I looked to the side to see Nami coming towards us. âHey! You got us a ship?â Luffy said. âWorking on it. Did you push the sloop out to sea like I told you?â Nami asked. âYeah. No marines are gonna be following us here.â Luffy said. âWell weâre not gonna be here very long. Turns out syrup village is known for their ship building. Lots of options.â Nami said. âWell what are we waiting for then?â Luffy asked rushing off as Nami and Zoro followed him. I sat back as I took the wanted poster for Buggy down. âY/n you coming or what.â Zoro said. âComing.â I said as I quickly folded the poster up hiding it in the waistband my shorts.
I rushed as I caught up to Zoro as we followed Nami and Luffy to the ship yard. âLook at them all.â Luffy said. âHow much do these cost?â Zoro asked. âIf you have to ask you canât afford it.â Nami said. âI can show this. Iâm sure someone will be scared enough and give us a ship.â I said motioning to where Buggy claimed me. âAbsolutely not. Iâm going to find a way to get that covered up.â Zoro said. âI was joking Zoro geesh.â I said. âOkay so we need to get one with a very very impressive figurehead. At least two. No No three masts! And a really high crowâs nest.â Luffy said. âWe are not gonna be able to sail a ship anywhere near that size. Thereâs only four of us.â Nami said. âFour of us right now.â Luffy said. âWell unless you can find another weird desperate soul to help us.â Nami said. âSpeak for yourself.â Zoro said. âListen. We are going to need something a little less flashy if we want to sneak out of here.â Nami said making Luffy stop. âYou want to steal a ship?â Luffy asked. âHow else did you expect us to get one?â Nami asked crossing her arms in front of her. âI donât know. But we canât steal one.â Luffy said. âWhat kind of pirate are you?â Nami asked. âA ship is not just a ship. Itâs a part of our crew. We need to find the perfect one. And weâre gonna get it the right way.â Luffy said. âOkay pitch that to the salesman. Iâm sure thatâll win him over.â Nami said. âExactly.â Luffy said. I let out a small groan as I put my face in my hands. âThis kid is going to kill us.â I said. âSo what are we actually gonna do?â Zoro asked. âFind a ship and see how lax the security is around here.â Nami said. âGot it.â Zoro said. âWe should catch up to Luffy before he offends the wrong person on accident.â I said. âThat honestly sounds like something he will do.â Nami said.
We found him talking with a boy that seemed to be about his age. âThere you are.â Nami said. âGuys! I found it. I found our ship and this guy will sell it to us.â Luffy said as he came back to join us. âUh wait. What? Uh.â The boy said as he too came to join us. âYeah! The ship weâll take it.â Luffy said. âTechnically sheâs not for sale.â The boy said. âHuh?â Luffy said looking confused. âAnd technically Iâm not a salesman.â The boy said. âOh this just keeps getting better and better.â I said. âDo you even work here?â Nami asked. âOf course I do. Iâm chief technician in charge of encrustation removal and aviary waste eradication.â The boy said. I brought a hand to my mouth holding back laughter. âEncru what?â Luffy asked. âHe scrubs barnacles and cleans bird shit.â Zoro said. âHe canât help us.â Nami said. âWait! Wait! Wait! I can help you. The owner of this ship just happens to be my closest friend in the world.â The boy said. âYour friend owns this ship?â Nami asked. âNot just this one. She owns the whole shipyard. Sheâs rich rich.â The boy said. âOh.â Luffy said as he looked at us. âIâm sure you can strike a deal with her.â The boy said. âSee.â Luffy said. âWell I guess it couldnât hurt to say hello.â Nami said.
The boy introduced himself as Usopp as he lead us to where his friend lived. If this girl was even is his friend. Usopp brought us to a very big house. âIâve never seen a house this big before.â Luffy said. âImpressive right? Kayaâs given me an open invitation to drop by anytime I want.â Usopp said. âWow. All of this just for one person?â Luffy said. âWell she lives here with her butler and a few other staff.â Usopp said. As Luffy looked down the well that was in front of us. âMoney really shows you who people truly really are. Most people only care about themselves and whatâs theirs.â Nami said. âSounds like someone I know.â Zoro said. âAnd a small staff makes for easy pickings.â Nami said. âWhy? Gonna rob the blind?â Zorro asked. âAt least a little blurry.â Nami said.
I found it odd that Usopp seemed to be leading us from the back. âSo if you have an open invitation why are we going around the back way?â Luffy asked. âOh I never use the front entrance. This is more of a VIP entrance reserved for special guests.â Usopp said. âThis guyâs full of shit.â Zoro said. âYeah. But as long as he gets us inside the house who cares?â Nami said. Then I could see two people one of which noticed us. âOops. You know thereâs actually a more exclusive entrance this way.â Usopp said turning around. But a knife was thrown landing in between Usopps feet. âThe hell are you doing here Usopp?â The male asked as he made his way over to us. âBuchi buddy uh Kayaâs expecting me.â Usopp said. âAnother one of your lies.â Buchi said as he grabbed Usopp. I watched this unfold with the others. âYou ainât welcome here and you know it.â Buchi said. âI know nothing of the sort. Iâm here to give Kaya an extra special gift.â Usopp said. âUsopp!â A female voice said. I looked to see a girl who honestly looked very sick slowly walking towards us with a butler. But he looked very familiar like Iâve seen him somewhere before. I looked to Zoro who had the same expression as me. âWhat a wonderful surprise.â She said as she carefully walked down a few steps. âKaya.â Usopp said as he got out of Buchi grip and walked towards her. So he was telling the truth. âHappy birthday.â Usopp said. âYou remembered.â Kaya said. âOf course I did.â Usopp said. The butler cleared his throat pushing up his glasses with the palm of his hand. Which I found to be extremely weird. âUsopp. Weâve had this discussion. You mustnât show up unannounced.â The butler said. âNonsense Klahadore. Have you come to tell me another story? I do love hearing about your adventures.â Kaya said. Oh this poor poor girl. âOh Iâll do you one better. I brought some of my crew.â Usopp said as he motioned to us. âIs he talking about us?â Luffy asked. âPlay along Luffy. Look at the girl itâs obvious that sheâs really sick. Just please play along.â I whisper. Luffy quickly nodded. âYes we are part of Usoppâs crew.â Luffy said. âItâs so nice to meet you. You all must stay for dinner.â Kaya said as she smiled sweetly at us. âMiss Kaya it is a bit last minute. Iâm afraid the kitchen hasnât prepared for any extra guests.â Klahadore said. âPlease Klahdore. Itâs my birthday. Canât be too much trouble can it?â Kaya asked. âOf course Miss Kaya. Anything for you.â Klahdore said. âAll right! When do we eat?â Luffy asked clapping his hands together. âYou donât. Not dressed like that. Sham kindly show Usopp and his friends to the guest suites. You will bathe and change before dinner.â Klahadore said. âA bath does sound nice.â Nami said. âTell me about it.â I said. âMy friend here has a wound that I would like to get cleaned up properly if I can get some supplies I can do it.â Zoro said as he motioned to me. âOh well I can do that for her. She can just come to me after her bath.â Kaya said. âItâs quite alright you have already done enough for us as it is. I really donât mind if Zoro does it. Happy birthday by the way.â I said. âOh okay only if youâre sure and thank you. Klahadore can you make sure her friend gets the supplies to clean her wound?â Kaya said. âOf course.â Klahadore said as we walked passed them.
As we followed behind the others Zoro looked behind us. âTell me that you donât think he looks familiar.â Zoro said quietly to me. âYeah he does but I canât put it together. But I canât help but shake this bad feeling. We need to be careful around him and the two others. You saw how sick Kayaâs looks what if they have something to do with it.â I said. âHow can you be sure about that she could be just some sick girl.â Zoro said. âI donât know how to explain it. It just all seems off. You trust me on this right?â I asked. âWhen have I never trusted you. If Iâm being honest youâve been right on things like this more than youâve been wrong. Itâs kinda scary.â Zoro said. âThat canât be true.â I said smiling a little. âWait I take that back youâve actually never been wrong.â Zoro said. I laughed a little.
I was shown to my room and honestly it was a nice room. I took the poster of Buggy out and hid it under one of the pillows then headed to the bathroom that was attached. I started to run the water in the tub getting it to the right temperature. As the tub filled I found the towels and a robe. I set them to the side for after I was done. I took off the clothes I was wearing the top and shorts from the outfit that buggy had me wear still was under them. I pulled the right side of the bra to the side to check on the wound. It wasnât bleeding anymore so at least that was good. I gently ran my finger tips over it wincing slightly. Oddly enough I actually started to miss him. âStop it. Stop it. You donât miss him. You canât miss him. Look what he did to you. That dream you had meant nothing. They care about you. You are not a liability to them.â I said as I looked at myself in the mirror. I took off the bra and the shorts then slipped into the water. I let out a sigh of relief as I sunk in the water. I let myself relax for a bit before I started to clean off my body. But I made sure to gently clean around where Buggy carved his initial on me. The last thing I did was wash my hair. I heard a knock at the bathroom door. âHey did you drown in there? Come on I want to find a cute dress for dinner and youâll the only who would give good advice to what looks good and not good on me.â Nami said. âIâm just about done. But you got to be the one to explain to Zoro why I didnât wait for him to clean my wound first.â I said standing up ringing the excess water from my hair grabbing one of the towels wrapping it around my body and grabbed another to finish drying my hair. âThe stuff is already out here I can do it once you get out here.â Nami said. I finished drying off and put the robe on. I grabbed my clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
I saw that Nami too was wearing a robe. âI donât know about you but I feel so much better.â Nami said. âI feel better too.â I said setting my clothes to the side. âHowâs the wound looking?â Nami said as she started to get the stuff ready. âWell it stopped bleeding so at least thatâs a good thing.â I said. âAfter we clean it we should take whatâs left it could come in handy.â Nami said. I nodded. I slightly moved my robe so Nami can clean my wound. âDid you want to find something that will cover this?â Nami asked. âIâm not sure honestly. Might as well get questions out of the way sooner rather than later. If I canât be comfortable with being able to show it now than I might never be.â I said. âI like that. You might have no problem with showing it but we both know Zoro will because he hates that he wasnât able to stop it from happening.â Nami said. âI know. But he would have stopped me from protecting the kid.â I said. âYou surprise me do you know that.â Nami said. âHow so?â I asked. âWell Zoro makes it seem like that you need to be locked away just to keep you safe. But you will put your life on the line to protect others. Youâre smart a lot smarter than most people I met. But you can be too sweet for your own good.â Nami said. âMaybe thatâs why Buggy called me sweetheart.â I joked. Nami laughed a little. âIf you ask me I would have to say that he maybe developed a crush on you. He treated you very differently than he treated us. There finished.â Nami said. âThanks Nami. Come on letâs go find something to wear.â I said standing up fixing the robe.
We walked into the very large closet. âHow much time do we have again?â I joked. âYouâre telling me.â Nami said. We started looking through the many dresses. âHere try this.â Nami said handing me a navy blue dress. I took the dress from her going behind one of the curtains and changed into the dress. It was velvet. Which felt a little weird against my skin. It was also off the shoulder with long sleeves and a slit down the side. I walked out from behind the curtain to shown Nami. âWell?â I asked. âItâs cute. Itâs tight in the right places.â Nami said. âThe velvet feels a bit weird on my skin though.â I said. âSo a maybe if you can deal with it for however long this dinner will last. Iâm going to try this one.â Nami said showing me a dark purple dress with a shaw. I started to look through other dresses. I found a red dress with straps that look that might cover Buggy initial but it couldnât tell unless I tried it on. âWell?â Nami asked posing. It honestly looked good on her. âIt looks really good. Maybe lose the shaw.â I said. âI really would like to keep my shoulders covered.â Nami said. âOh okay let me try this one on then Iâll help you find something.â I said showing her the red dress. âOh thatâs cute.â Nami said. I smiled as I went to try it on. The straps actually rested on my arms. But I liked it. I walked out to show Nami. âWow that looks great on you.â Nami said. âThere you two are.â Luffy said as he walked into the room. âWhat do you think Luffy?â Nami asked motioning to my dress. âItâs a nice color.â Luffy said. âReally thatâs all you have to say. Youâre not going to say anything about how great it looks on her.â Nami said. âItâs okay Nami I kinda figure that getting opinions on how the dresses look would be easier said than done. Here try this.â I said as I found a dress with short sleeves and handed it to her. âItâs not that bad.â Nami said taking the dress from me and went to try it on. âLuffy try to be of more help to us please. Us girls actually donât mind hearing that something looks good on us every now and then especially if itâs a dress.â I said. âGot it.â Luffy said as he laid down on a bench and looked up.
I went back to looking through the dresses as I waited on Nami to try on the one I gave her. âWhy would anyone even need this many clothes?â Luffy asked. âItâs not about need with these people. Itâs about want.â Nami said. âWhat are we even supposed to wear?â Luffy asked. âAnything you want. When are you going to get the opportunity to wear things this nice? Well. What do you think?â Nami asked as she came out to show us the dress. âI like it way better than the other one.â I said as I went behind the curtain to try on another dress. âYou look like Nami.â Luffy said. âLuffy want did I say.â I said as I took the dress off. I heard Nami let out a sigh. âHey Zoro! What are you going to wear?â Luffy asked. âSomething black.â Zoro said. âYou know I just might wear a black dress just to be mean.â I said. âI thought I told you to wait on me.â Zoro said walking over to where I was. âUm not the best time Zoro my boobs are out.â I said. I could hear Nami and Luffy laughing. âHow edgy you two.â Nami said. I finished putting on the next dress. It was a tight fitting dress that was black and red with a see through part at the bottom that started at my knees. âHey does that butler seem familiar to you guys?â Zoro asked. âYeah I think he was at the last dinner party I attended.â Nami said. âI swear Y/n and I seen him somewhere.â Zoro said. âHow about this one?â I said walking out to show them. âItâs too tight.â Zoro said. âZoroâs right it is a little to tight.â Luffy said. âHowâs this?â Nami asked coming out in a black dress with a jacket. âStill Nami.â Luffy said. âI said Iâm wearing black.â Zoro said. âSheâs wearing black too.â Nami said. âSheâs not going to wear that one itâs too tight.â Zoro said. âWell I think it looks great on you Y/n.â Nami said. âThanks Nami at least youâre being helpful.â I said. âI can think of someone else who would have been helpful too.â Nami said smirking at me. I went back to looking for another dress to try on. I found another black dress that look a bit more revealing than the one I was wearing. I smirked as I went to try it on. âI feel kind of bad for Kaya. All this stuff. All this space. Itâs gotta make a person feel lonely.â Luffy said. âRich people donât have to same emotion we do. This stuff doesn't make her feel lonely. It makes her feel important.â Nami said. âWell Usopp likes her. And she invited us to dinner. Iâm sure we can work out a way to get that ship.â Luffy said. I finished putting on the dress and it was more revealing. âHow about this one?â I asked walking out to show the others. âYes. No.â Both Nami and Zoro said. âCome on whatâs wrong with this one?â Nami asked. âItâs to revealing.â Zoro said. âMaybe Nami was right Buggy would have been more helpful than you two are being.â I said grabbing a random dress and storming off to try it on. I wiped away tears that started to form in my eyes. âYou two need to find something to wear so you can leave us to it.â Nami said. It wasnât long before I heard Zoro and Luffy leaving the room.
âYou okay back there?â Nami asked. âIâm fine.â I said as I finished trying on the next dress which was a sliver color. âDonât let Mr. Moody get to you. Iâm guessing that heâs never seen you get this dressed up. I happened to love that last dress on you.â Nami said. I smiled as I came out to show her the sliver dress. âThanks Nami. How do this one look.â I asked. âIt looks okay. But the last one looked better.â Nami said. âYou really got the boys to leave quick.â I said looking through the dresses. âWell I figure if Zoro stayed any longer you would give up and not go to dinner making Luffy and I drag you out when itâs time to leave.â Nami said. âYouâre probably right.â I said. I grabbed a Chinese style dress and handed it to Nami. âHere try this one.â I said handing her the dress. âIf you try this one.â Nami said handed me a lightish purple one. We both went to try on the dresses. âI actually really like this one.â Nami said. âIâm glad this one isnât that bad either.â I said. I finished putting on the dress and went out to show Nami who was also done. The dress Nami was wearing did really look good on her. âNami that looks amazing on you. You have to wear it.â I said. âYou really think so?â Nami asked. âYes I do.â I said. âWhat about you. Found something you really like yet? Ignore what Zoro said. Youâve looked good in all of them so far.â Nami said. âI really like the red one but maybe I should try on few more before I make a decision.â I said.
Nami helped me find three other blue dresses that were a different shades of dark blue. One of the dark blue dresses had a large slit on one side, another was tied at the side and showed a lot of skin, the last one had sleeves that hung loosely on my arms and also had a slit in it. The last one was a black dress that had an opening on the stomach and a slit in it. I honestly really loved the last blue dress I tried on so I put that one back one. âI was hoping that you pick that one. It really does look beautiful on you.â Nami said. âThanks Nami.â I said. âUs girls have to stick together.â Nami said.
We finished getting ready together. I let Nami do my hair she put it into a single braid. âThere now look at you. Arenât you beautiful.â Nami said. âLetâs go down stairs before Zoro says something.â I said. âLetâs go.â Nami said as we left my room. We walked down the stairs thankfully Zoro wasnât down yet but Luffy and Usopp were. âWell donât you ladies look beautiful.â Usopp said. We both started to laugh a little. âThanks.â I said. âAt least someone is telling her that she looks beautiful.â Nami said. âOh now thatâs a tragedy. Who told her that she didnât look beautiful.â Usopp said. âZoro.â Nami said. âDonât worry Iâll have some words with him.â Usopp said walking away to find Zoro. âZoro is going to kill him isnât he.â I said. âYep.â Nami said.
A few minutes later Usopp was dragging Zoro over to me âWell Iâll let you two talk it out.â Nami said as she walked away. âNami.â I said. âYou two need to talk. I donât want to have to deal with you two mad at each other.â Nami said. Usopp shoved Zoro to me. It was honestly awkward between us and it was never awkward between us. âYou look nice.â Zoro said. âAre you sure itâs not to revealing?â I asked. âI didnât mean to make you upset. I just never seen you wearing anything like that before. I guess I just didnât know how to react.â Zoro said. âItâs okay I forgive you.â I said. âWhy donât you take a seat and Iâll get you a drink.â Zoro said. âActing like a gentleman I see.â I said. âDonât get use to it.â Zoro said as I took a seat on a couch while he went to go get drinks. Zoro came back handed me a drink as he sat down next to me. Just then Kaya came down with the stairs with the butler. âI think I figure out where Iâve seen him.â Zoro whispered to me. âYou hunted him didnât you?â I asked. âStay here.â Zoro said. I nodded. Zoro got up and went to talk to Klahadore. It was only a few minutes before he came back. âWell?â I asked. âHe swore it wasnât him.â Zoro said. âYou donât believe him.â I said. âI donât.â Zoro said. âShall we all move to the dining room.â Klahadore said. âYes.â Luffy yelled excitedly. I laughed shaking my head. Zoro got up grabbing his swords with one hand and held out the other to me. I put my hand in his as he helped me up.
Kaya smiled as she walked up to me. âY/n donât you look beautiful.â Kaya said. âThank you. You look beautiful too.â I said. âThank you. When my mom was your age that was my dadâs favorite dress on her. Iâm sure I can say to same about Zoro.â Kaya said. âOh. We.â I said before Zoro interrupted. âYes I do. I donât get to see her wear a dress that often but this has to be my favorite.â Zoro said. âIâm sure that you two will have the same love has my parents once had.â Kaya said has she walked passed us. âWhat was that?â I asked quietly. âLike you said sheâs sick play along. Now come lets go eat.â Zoro said. âHate you.â I said. âNo you donât.â Zoro said.
I sat on one side of the table with Zoro on my right and Usopp on my left. The female staff member was about to pour me a glass of wine. âOh no wine for me please.â I said. âDo you not like wine Y/n? Iâm sure we can get you something else.â Kaya asked. âIâm just not a big alcohol drinker. I never really like the taste rather it be wine or beer.â I said. âWell thereâs nothing wrong with that.â Kaya said. âBesides who else will take care of Zoro when he has too many.â I said laughing a little. Which made Kaya laugh a little.
At first it was nothing but small talk. âIâd love to try the fish tonight.â Kaya said. âIâm sorry Miss Kaya but that is not possible.â Klahadore said. âMaybe just a small piece?â Kaya asked hopefully. âNow you know that certain foods can affect your constitution. Here Buchi has prepared your special soup.â Klahadore said as Buchi placed a bowl infront of Kaya. âKaya itâs your birthday. You should be able to eat what you want.â Nami said. âMiss Kayaâs medical condition necessitates that I closely monitor her dietary needs.â Klahadore said. âDoes it mean you also speak for her?â Nami asked. âBut youâre not a doctor. You can grow out of some medical conditions. Kaya will never know unless she tries foods that she hasnât eaten since she was told about the medical condition.â I said. Klahadore glared at both Nami and I. âIâll take her fish.â Luffy said raising his hand. âLuffy isnât there something that you wanted to talk to Kaya about?â Usopp asked. âOh yes! Usopp told me that you own the whole shipyard.â Luffy said. âWell actually my parents founded the shipyard and Merryâs been running the business since well since they passed. But all of thatâs about to change. Tonight at midnight I will become the sole owner.â Kaya said. I happened to look at Klahadore and the two other staff members their expression slightly change. âAh. Well thatâs great because we want to buy a ship from you.â Luffy said taking a drink. âI see. Usopp mentioned that youâre sailors.â Kaya said smiling at Usopp. âNope not sailors.â Luffy said. âLuffy.â I said motioning for him to stop. âWeâre pirates.â Luffy said. I put my head in my hands. I hear Usopp choke on his drink. âThis ought to be good.â Zoro said. âI swear this kid is going to put me in an early grave.â I said. âPirates?â Kaya asked. âYep. We havenât sailed together for very long but we have already defeated an evil clown who was strangely fond of Y/n, raided a marine base, and taken down a captain with an axe for a hand.â Luffy said. âThese sound a lot like your adventures Usopp.â Kaya said looking to Usopp. âYeah thatâs. Thatâs crazy.â Usopp said. âOh yeah. And weâre just getting started.â Luffy said as he stood up getting on top of the table. âLuffy get down now.â I said. âOhhh you made her get at the mom voice.â Zoro said. I glared over at Zoro. âI do not have a mom voice.â I said. âYeah you do.â Zoro said. âWhat are you doing? Get down from there at once!â Klahadore said. âBeing a pirate has been my dream for as long as I can remember. And Iâm finally making it a reality. Weâre heading out to the grand line where even more adventures await us. And at the end of the journey Iâm gonna find the ultimate treasure the one piece and become king of the pirates.â Luffy said walking across the table to Kaya. âMonkey D Luffy I swear to god if you donât get down from this table right now I will take away your hat for a week.â I said. âSee mom voice.â Zoro said. âNot. The. Time.â I said. âYouâre serious.â Kaya said. Luffy handed Klahadore his drink as he bent down putting his hands on Kayaâs shoulders. âKaya you have a beautiful ship out there. A caravel with sheep figurehead. It spoke to me. Thatâs the ship we need to follow our dreams. I promise you weâll take care of it. Maintain it. Treat it like any other member of our crew because a ship is also a home.â Luffy said. âThat will be quite enough! I shouldâve known Usopp would bring riffraff to our doorstep.â Klahadore itâs okay. I.â Kaya said as she started to cough. âNow look what youâve done. Youâve upset Miss Kaya. All of you out of this house at once!â Klahadore yelled. âActually she was just fine until you started to yell.â I pointed out. Which made Klahadore glare at me more. âNo. Itâs late. Let them stay the night.â Kaya said. âAs you wish Miss Kaya but they are out first thing in the morning.â Klahadore said as he helped Kaya up and out of the dining room.
âThat went pretty well. Donât you think?â Luffy said. âGet down now.â I said. âAlright. Alright.â Luffy said getting down from the table taking off his hat hiding it behind his back. âI wonât take it away this time but you better listen to me next time.â I said. Luffy nodded as he put his hat back on with a smile. âSee mom voice told you.â Zoro said. âI donât have a mom voice.â I said. âYeah you do.â Everyone agreed. âI hate all of you.â I said getting up and made my way back to my room.
I took off my dress gently setting it to the side as I put my clothes back on. I heard a knock at my door. âAm I good to come in or do you have your boobs out.â Nami said jokily. âYouâre good their put away.â I said. Nami opened the door and walked in. I noticed that she had a pillowcase. âIâm going to go find stuff to steal wanna come?â Nami asked. âSure. Nothing better to do. Iâm afraid if I sleep I might have another dream about him.â I said. âCome on then we can talk about the first one or if youâre still not ready we do have to.â Nami said. âThanks Nami.â I said smiling. I followed Nami out of my room as we made our way around the mansion as Nami picked random things and put them in the pillowcase. Once we heard footsteps getting close we went into the closest room.
The light turned on scaring both Nami and I. âNami? Y/n?â Kaya asked. Nami hid the pillowcase behind her back. âWhat are you doing? Is everything all right?â Kaya asked. âSorry this house is so massive. We were just trying to find the bathroom.â Nami said. âWith a pillowcase?â Kaya said. Nami brought the pillowcase out and set it to the side. âSo you two are pirates after all.â Kaya said getting up from bed and sitting in a nearby chair. âI hate pirates. But I am who I am. And I wonât apologize for that. Y/n didnât take anything it was all me. She just wanted to avoid sleeping.â Nami said. âTo be honest I find some of the dĂ©cor to be a bit gaudy. Iâd prefer to donate it to charity.â Kaya said. âIâm not charity.â Nami said. âNo of course not. I simply meant whatâs the point in having so much if you canât share it with others. Like those in need. Family. Friends.â Kaya said. âSo weâre friends now? You donât even know us?â Nami said. âUsopp does and thatâs a start.â Kaya said motioning for us to sit down. Nami sat down on the couch and I sat down on another chair next to the couch. âSo what do we do now? Have a sleepover? Do each otherâs makeup?â Nami asked. Kaya laughed a little before having another coughing fit. âKaya are you okay?â Nami asked. Kaya shook her head as she looked at us sadly. âNot you both too.â Kaya said. âWhat?â Nami asked. âEveryoneâs so careful around me. Like one wrong move and Iâll break. I donât want your pity.â Kaya said. âWell you wonât get it then.â Nami said. Kaya smiled at us.
âY/n why did Nami said you wanted to avoid sleeping?â Kaya asked. âOh I guess that the events that went down between me and the clown Luffy mention is still effecting me.â I said. âWhat happened?â Kaya asked. âTo start he held us hostages for a bit. But he treated me very different than he did the others. He and his crew used a smoke cloud that made us passed out. The other three woke up in a wooden box. But I woke up on his lap to him poking me asking me to see my beautiful eyes. Like Luffy said he was fond of me for some reason. He or at least someone in his crew changed me into this revealing jester outfit. He wanted me to become apart of his crew but Zoro is protective of me.â I said. âHe was going to kill him where he stood. Zoro was pissed when he saw the clown put his hands all over her.â Nami said. âI can tell. Zoro loves you so much.â Kaya said. âZoro doesnât love me in that way but he does love me.â I said. âOh Iâm sorry I just thought that you two were together.â Kaya said. âNo itâs okay. I just remind him of a friend that he knew. Something bad happened and he lost her so he thinks protecting me in the way he couldnât for his friend will make up for it.â I said. âThatâs actually a very sweet thing to hear. What else happened with this clown?â Kaya asked. âHe was very dead set on keeping me. He tried to get Luffy to tell him where he had hid the map to the grand line. But when Luffy didnât he was going to hurt someone in the crowd that he was holding hostage. I couldnât live with myself if that happened so I suggested to him to crave his initial on me if I could handle the pain without making a sound then he wouldnât hurt anyone.â I said as I move my shirt so Kaya can see it. âThatâs awful.â Kaya said. âI donât see it that way. I would rather it be who got hurt before one of them. The reason Iâm avoiding sleep is a had a dream where I was back there with him. He told me that the others left me because I was just a liability to them. That I brought nothing to the team.â I said as I wiped tears from my eyes. âThat not true you know that right Y/n.â Nami said. âI donât even know what I bring to the team Nami. So tell me what I bring to the team.â I said. âYou protect people. You protected that kid and the towns people.â Nami said. âItâs not like Zoro would let me do something like that again.â I said. âThat might be true for right now but maybe if you prove to him that he doesnât need to protect you as much. I know that I havenât known you too for long but I thinks he knows that protecting you has much as he is now wonât do you any good.â Nami said. âIt does make me feel trapped but I know he doesnât mean to do it on purpose.â I said. âThen you should tell him Y/n. Making you feel trap might do more harm than good.â Kaya said. âI will I promise.â I said. âDonât worry Iâll make sure the two of them talk.â Nami said. âWhy do we talk about a different boy now.â I said. âWe already talked about all the boys.â Kaya said. âNot all of them theres one that we have talked about yet.â Nami said. âWho havenât we talked about?â Kaya asked. âUsopp.â Nami and I both said smiling. âOh.â Kaya said smiling a little. âSo are you and Usopp a thing?â I asked. âOh. Um. Usopp and me? No. No. Weâve know each other for years. Ever since his mother died. He didnât have anybody so my parents gave him a job at the shipyard. He likes to come around and tell me all about his brave exploits and his grand adventures. And truth is they make me feel better.â Kaya said. âYour parents what happened to them?â Nami asked. âThey um. They died at sea. All these years and it still takes my breath away. I couldnât even go though their belongings. Just locked up the memories in the east wing where their bedroom was.â Kaya said. âIâm sorry.â Nami said. âHave you lost anyone close to you?â Kaya asked. âNo.â Nami said. âIâm jealous.â Kaya said. âSaid the rich girl.â Nami said. âYouâre not very good at this friends thing are you?â Kaya asked. Then all three of us started to laugh. âNo I guess Iâm not.â Nami said.
The three of us talked of a bit longer. I told them about how I met Zoro and what my life was like before I met Luffy and Nami. I really didnât talk much about my life before Zoro. âWhy donât you two join me for breakfast tomorrow? Zoro and Luffy too. We can discuss a deal for the caravel.â Kaya asked as the three of us got up. âIâd like that. This may not be my place but donât let Klahadore or anyone for that matter run life. Youâre stronger than you think.â Nami said. âYeah. I know I donât know him like you do Kaya but I donât trust him and I think heâs hiding something. You can even ask Zoro yourself Iâm never wrong when it comes to being able to tell a personâs character.â I said. âI appreciate that. Good night Nami. Good night Y/n.â Kaya said. âGood night.â Nami said. âGood night Kaya.â I said. âDonât forget your pillow Nami.â Kaya said with a small smile. Nami grabbed the pillowcase as we walked out.
âWell I might try to get some sleep what about you?â I asked. âIâm going to put the stuff back.â Nami said. I gave her a small smile and then made my way back to my room. âHey Y/n.â Nami said making me stop. I turned to look at her. âYeah Nami.â I said. âI think I know of another thing that you bring to the team.â Nami said. âWhat is it?â I asked. âYouâll be able to tell if someone be helpful or not. I donât think Iâve met many people who can tell a persons character like the way you said you can.â Nami said. âI guess I found my own way of being able to tell when youâve been with a pirate hunter as long as Iâve been with Zoro.â I said. âYeah. If you want to learn a bit about on how to defend yourself I can teach you.â Nami said. âAs long as youâre the one to tell Zoro heâs out of the job I would love that.â I said. Making both of us laugh a little. âYeah even I donât think he would stop.â Nami said. âYeah he wonât. Night Nami.â I said. âNight Y/n.â Nami said. I walked back to my room and went to lay down. I put my hand under the pillows to see if the wanted poster of Buggy was still there. Thankfully it was. I unfolded it as I looked at his face. âMaybe that dream was wrong. Maybe I can prove Iâm not a liability. But I. Iâm just not ready to admit to the others that I miss you just yet.â I said. Then I frantic knock was at my door. I quickly put the poster back under the pillow and Nami rushed in. âNami whatâs wrong?â I asked as I sat up. âYou were right. You were right about Klahadore.â Nami said. âHow did you find this out?â I asked. âI went to find Zoro and Luffy. I found Luffy in the kitchen passed out. I tried to wake him but I heard Klahadore and the other two coming so I hid. I overheard that Klahadore and the other two have been poisoning Kaya and they plan to kill her after midnight so they can have her money.â Nami said. I jumped up from bed and rushed to Nami. âWe need to get to Kaya first. We need to get her out of here and into somewhere safe.â I said. We both rushed out of my room and ran to Kayaâs room without trying to make much noise to alert Klahadore that we were on to him.

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.
We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
