Something's Stirring

Location: Somewhere in the New World

Object: Red Haired Pirates

Timeline: A week after the whole Dressrosa incident.

As the newspaper flew towards the ship, the slightly tipsy Capitan grinned widely and raised his remaining hand to catch it.

"Something's stirring….stirring something is…", he hummed and flipped the pages lazily.

"Yeah, tonight's soup…", came the voice of Lucky Roux, the cook of the crew and incidentally, the one who ate most. Though, he couldn't rival a certain seven year old back in Foosha…the kid was a bottomless pit! And Roux needed his revenge when they met.

Ben rolled his eyes and peered over his Capitan's shoulder to read.

"Oy, oy…."

Slowly Shank's eyes widened and his eyebrows rose so high that there was a risk of them disappearing into his hair. After rereading whatever it was written in the newspaper two more times, he broke down laughing uncontrollably.

The rest of the crew slowly gathered to see what their wayward leader had done. To their surprise, even the stoic Ben Beckman was smiling!

"What's going on!", demanded Yasopp as he climbed down from the Crow's Nest.

"Oooooh, you're going to love it!", cooed Shanks and threw the newspaper at the man who, frowning, caught it with ease and opened at a random page.

"What am I supposed to be looking for?"

"Oh, you'll see."

Ben was smirking. Roux and the others who didn't know gathered around their sniper, who was flicking the pages for something significant.

And the demon duo (well at least Shanks) was anticipating the reaction that was going to be spectacular!

"Hm…oh, showdown in Dressrosa? The formed alliance between Straw Hat Luffy and the Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law has made its move". He sneaked a peak at Shanks, who was smirking hugely.

Oukeeeey. Moving on.

"So Luffy beat the living shit out of old Doffy..not bad", he summarized, reading on. "Knowing that Law, they destroyed the factory you were telling us about, ne Capitan?"

Shanks was still smirking. What the hell was wrong? This wasn't the information he was looking for? Bleeeh.

"They probably got new bounties!", exclaimed Roux as he tried to pry the newspaper from Yasopp's hands.

The rest agreed. The sniped turned a few pages with a sigh and peered. Sure enough, new bounties.

"Oh, Luffy's increased! Not bad for a kid…Law too, since he's not a shichibukai after all the shit they pulled, hm? Sogeking's..identity revealed?"

"Stirr..tirring something up it is…"Shanks was smirking so hard now that a little bit more and his face would snap in two. "Stir stir…we'll do this like a …tirrr"

Yasopp winced at the singing and shook his head. Sogeking was revealed after the incident in Enies Lobby and he had been curious after that. Just who was the little brat's sniper? He had promised to get a crew stronger than theirs after all…

He took a swing of his sake and peered at the poster.

"Sogeking 'God' Usopp, 120k beri…"

Shanks started the countdown.

"Three…Two…One…BAM!"

Yasopp spit out his beer on the poster and stared at it bug eyed.

"Wha..wa…Usopp? My Usopp? My little boy that's supposed to be in Syrup Village with Bachina? Wait Sogeking? So he was with Luffy all this time!"

The Red Haired pirates witnessed their sniper having a breakdown.

And Shanks, Shanks was having the time of his life.

"Stir stirl..we will, love drill we fill…something's stirring in Yasoppuuu…". He crawled to where his sniper was still gawking at the poor wanted poster and slung his arm over his shoulder."You", a poke in the cheek, "… are DIVINE, my friend!", he announced to the shell shocked Yasopp, who was still clutching the wanted poster. "Something's…things stir…bir!"

"Huh?", came the unintelligent response.

"Well, since your son is 'God'…." Ben interjected with a smile.

They shared a hearty laugh.

"That's right! You all should worship the ground I walk on! Stupid imbeciles…and the father of 'God' demands…sake and food!

The day ended up with a grand party, singing, dancing, nearly ripping the poor newspaper to shreds, Yasopp telling everyone, again (which was a usual occurrence when he was drunk) of his son and their adventures, Roux wolfing down the meat, Ben polishing his guns…the usual. All, except their beloved Redhead.

Shanks was simply observing them, his family after the Roger pirates disbanded. He could see clearly that his sniper was proud of his son, even if worry for his safety was his first priority when it came to feelings. And he understood it completely. Luffy was the closest thing to a son he had and he was extremely proud of him.

"Dahahahaha! Little Anchooooor…hurry up and give me my hat baaaaaaa~ck brat!"

The new wanted poster of Straw Hat Luffy started back at him.

"Stirring….ring, something is in a biiing, stir, stir, bring me somethi-.."

"Capitan! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

R&R :)

Bah, I just couldn't keep this idea off my mind after the recent chappie and the troll Oda pulled. xD Seriously, i am expecting for Usopp to have a new wanted poster! Fujitora will sure as hell see to it lol. And i bet his name will be 'God' Usopp too... xD

So yeah, I know it's not the best, I cant write humor :/ But hope whoever read this enjoyed it at least!

Thanks for your attention!
