Draco's Crew: Holiday's Surprises

Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece.


A ship, with a raven figurehead and a black flag with a Jolly Roger being held by a golden dragon, was sailing through the open sea. This ship was of course the one and only, Azarath, the ship that was own by Malchior, who is the Captain of Draco's Crew. Speaking of Draco, we find him leaning against his tree, looking at the crest moon, sigh to himself, then he glance over his shoulder as he heard something moving toward him.

"What do you want, ero-bird?", Malchior said as he pulled out a pocket a silver pocket watch.

"Just though I should tell you that it five more days till Christmas Eve.", Jack said as he landed on top of his Captain's shoulder.

"Yay.", Malchior said with a sigh, rolling his eyes and look at his watch, checking the time, then put the time piece away, "So what the need of telling me that information?", he ask dryly as he look at the parrot.

"Just thought you should know.", Jack answer as he look at the moon, "I mean, I know you used to like that holiday."

"The right words are 'used to'.", Malchior said as he slowly rise from his spot, causing the bird to lost his spot, and headed toward his room, "Now if you don't mind, I like to get some sleep, before we head out to the next island."

"Why do you act like this around this time of you?", Jack ask as he stare at Draco as he head down the hallway and open the door to their room.

"That's my business.", Malchior said as he turn his head, glaring at the macaw, "Now are you coming in or not?"

"I'm coming.", Jack mutter as he flew into the room, right before the door shut.

-The next day-

After everyone, but Malchior, woken up and raise anchor, just like the last couple of days, and begin to sail the ship.

"So what the deal with Mal?", Roy said as he pulled the rope, tighten the main sail, well he was wearing a black coat, with the a flame design around his sleeves, and a pair of leather gloves, that keep him warm from the cold weather.

"Who knows, dude.", Gar answer as he rubbed his pointy ear with a sigh, well he was wearing a bright green jacket and a red scarf, that hang loosely around his neck, "He just seem to act like this all the time."

"No.", said a voice behind the spiky, black hair teen, making him turn his head to find a grayish skin, violet-blue hair, slim young woman. She was about 5'5", had violet eyes, and wearing a blue cloak white white fur around edges that look like it would keep her warm, a blue skirt, a pair of dark blue boots, that's almost touch her knees. "Malchior, seem more depress about something,", the violet-blue hair woman said as the wind blow throw her hair, "But no one knows the reason, why."

"Maybe we should ask him, Rae?", Gar said as he rubbed his other ear.

"No.", Karai said as she enter the area, sipping on her morning cocoa, wearing a pair of jeans, a long white coat with a crest moon on each shoulders and a lotus on the back of said jacket, a pair of white shoes, a peach color hat, and a pair of white, fingerless gloves, "It's not right to ask him that."

"She has a point.", Ken said as he lean against the mass, wearing a brown duster jacket and his normal clothes, lighting a cigarette, "A man have the right to keep things to himself.", then he took a long drag on his cigarette, "However, if this could effect the crew."

"True.", Roy said as he look at the sniper, who was busy enjoy his morning cigarette, "But maybe his mood will change once we hit the next island."

"Maybe.", Karai said as she rubbed her chin and head toward her boyfriend, who was just walk out of his room, holding a maps. The navigator was wearing his normal clothes, but he also was wearing a pair of white gloves and a long, dark blue trench coat(think "The Question"), that cover most of his body. "Morning Harry.", she said as she lean down and kiss his cheek.

"Morning Lotus.", Harry said as he return the kiss, then return to the map.

"So, when will we reach the next island?"

"Well, if I'm right...", he rubbed his tired eyes "We should reach there in three hours."

"That's good.", the blind girl said with a smile and begin to walk away, "Do you want me to send your breakfast to you?"

"Please do.", Harry said as he yawn and lean back, closing his eyes while he yawn, "Make sure Jessie don't put anything in my coffee."

"Well do.", Karai said as she move away from him, "Oh, before I go I wanted to ask you a question."

"You can ask me anything.", Harry said as he take hold of the wheel.

"What's the name of the island?"

"Oh....the island name is Cuitlaxochitl."


Malchior: And I'm going to stop the chapter here. I know, this chapter is a bit short then my normal ones, but this how I'm going to writing this fic. Now, I'm making this prefectly clear, this fic isn't going to stop me writing my other one, cause I'm planning to finish this arc before the end of this years.

Malchior: To those of you wondering who the hell is Rae and why she's in the story? Well, you have to find out in my next arc of 'The Path of Love and War".

Jack: Oh, and to those of you wondering where I got the name of the island. It's Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, meaning "star flower", but we call these flowers, "Poinsettia", though I wish the name the island after my favorite plant this time of the year.

Malchior: I told you that I'm not naming that island, Mistletoe!

Jack: I know. -rolled his eyes and sigh- At less I'll be standing under it.

Malchior: -shake his head and sigh- Anyhoo, I hope everyone like how this Christmas fic going so far, but please note I would like reviews, to see if you guys like where things are going so far. So please do, or I'll make sure all the bells will be took down before Christmas Eve.
