Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece. I just own Sun, Rae, and the kids.
This is the long awaited sequel to the other two pirates. I waited a long time to write this so now I'm so happy to finally have it out. I won't say what to expect cause it'll ruin this hwole chapter.
Sun sat outside on one of the rails on the Merry Go. She ran her hand through her long hair and started thinking about all the past events of her life.
Unfortunately, a majority of them are pretty sad. Being taken away from her mom forcefully, being forced to be with Choo for many years, watching her sister be hurt like her were only the beginning.
She remembered how her and her sister thought about just giving up so many times. Just ending it. But then Nami came into their lives and they couldn't leave her at such a young age. So they kept living on to help her.
They were happy to have made that decision; Nami grew up to be such a wonderful woman. But she grew up to be a woman who felt like she had the whole world on her shoulders. All the deals she made with Arlong were catching up to her. It was all too much for her to bear.
Sun remembers how she, Rae, and Nami were going to try to sail away that one day to get away from everything. But hearing that each one of them were pregnant changed it.
All the events that happened after that were all a blur to her. She remembered that she made herself feel dead on the inside, so that whatever Choo did to her, she wouldn't feel one bit of emotion.
But then HE had to come and ruin it. HE was Zolo. Zolo had to waltz into her life and treat her like an actual person instead of a slave.
"Why am I complaining about that?" She whispered to herself.
"Complaining about what?" She turned to where the voice came from; Zolo was walking towards her with a smile on her face.
"Who said I was complaining?"
"You don't exactly whisper, you know. Your whispers can be compared to Luffy's loud yells."
"Shut up." She crossed her arms over her chest and looked back to the sea. Zolo just shook his head and got closer to her. He mounted the same rail behind her and pulled her to his chest. "Hey, who said you could hold me?"
"Nobody, I just did it. Remember, I'm spontaneous." He wrapped his arms gently around her stomach. She gasped dramatically
"You've never admitted that out loud. Oh my gosh, where are the cameras?" He couldn't help but chuckle at her childlike behavior.
"I'm just happy." She turned her head towards his. "By the way, those 'whispers' of yours was how I found out the truth." He kissed her cheek.
"And here I was, blaming my sister for telling you the secret. Dang it, I already have my revenge planned out."
"Still do it. Your sister gets on my nerves."
"So does my son. But I don't hear you saying I should do bad stuff to him."
"One, he's your son. Even if I asked you to, you would never do anything bad to him. And Second, I can torture him myself." She chuckled at the small joke he made.
"How do you think Kenn and Siria are going to react to the news?"
"I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear they're going to have a younger brother or sister. I'm certainly thrilled."
"Wait a minute. The bounty hunter, the one who still has a dream to defeat that hawk eyed mihawk guy is thrilled that he is going to have a child. Something's wrong here."
"You'd rather I not be happy?"
"Don't twist my words around; what I'm saying is that I'm afraid that now having a family is going to hold you back. And I don't want that."
"So what do you suggest I do?"
"Stay with me and the baby for a year. Then I want Luffy to become King of the Pirates; I want Sanji to find the Great Blue and cook all the fish he wants; I want Usopp to get over his fears, which he's doing a good job of doing; I want Nami to create her world map, that's been her dream since I met her; but most of all, I want you to make your dream come true." Before Zolo got a change to answer her back, an all too familiar laugh echoed out.
"We're almost there." Luffy's arms stretched out to the rail and he launched himself at Zolo.
"LUFFY!" Zolo yelled loudly before he was knocked off the rail and into the water. Luffy had somehow caught himself on the rail, so he didn't fall into the water.
Sun had closed her eyes when she saw Luffy coming towards her, but felt nothing. She opened her eyes to see that Sanji was holding onto her.
"Luffy, you idiot, you need to be careful. She's pregnant now." Sanji helped Sun off the rail. "You weren't hurt, were you, my sweet?" She rolled her eyes. Even though Sanji was with Nami, he couldn't get over his flirting habits.
"You know Sanji, you need to be careful of what you call me."
"If you are worried about my dear Nami, she knows my nature. Plus, I only have eyes for that beautiful woman." His eyes turned into that heart shape as he thought about Nami.
"I'm not talking about Nami." She pointed to Zolo, who was climbing back onto the ship, with Usopp's help. Although with his strength, he almost made Usopp fall into the water.
"Did you just call Sun your sweet?" He growled as he climbed over the rails and stood fully on the ship. Usopp moved away, hoping to avoid the fight that might develop.
"I never took you to be the jealous type, Zolo. You know I don't like your wife like that." Sanji tried to assure him.
"Then don't call her your sweet. Call her by her name."
"Zolo, calm down. You're just upset that Luffy knocked you off the ship. If you don't calm down, I'll knock you over the ship myself." She threatened him with a smirk on her face.
"Ok, calm down you guys. I came to say we're almost at the island." Luffy pointed at the small island coming into view.
That is the island that they have taking refuge on. The guys thought that it would be better to have the girls living somewhere then traveling on a boat all of their lives. And since Zolo is legally married to Sun, he needed a place to settle down with her.
That's when they found that abandoned island. Before they settled on it, the girls sent the boys to search all over it, to make sure that there was nothing that would kill them in the middle of the night.
After that, the guys, including Kenn, started building homes for the families. It didn't take long for them to be finished. Of course, when your son is half mermen, they don't get tired easily. So Kenn did a majority of the work.
"Home. I hope everyone's Ok." Sun said with a bigger smile on her face. "I feel bad though. Since we did take the only good cook they have." As the boat got closer, they could see everybody waiting on the shore for them.
Rae stood next to her daughter, Bliss, who was waving her hand like crazy. Nami and Mariko were just staring at the boat, with their hands on their hips. Kenn and Siria stood with worried looks on their faces.
The ship came to a halt near the shore, the ramp came crashing down on the land. Kenn ran up the ramp to get to his mom.
"Mom, are you ok? What did the doctor say?" She placed her hand up to stop him from asking anymore questions.
"Kenn, sweetie, can we get inside first? I'm tired. Help Zolo get the supplies. We got more food." Kenn glared over at Zolo, who in turn glared at him.
"No thanks. I can do this myself." Zolo lifted three boxes into his hand, leaving about seven other ones.
"By the time you finish, you'll be dead. I'll do it." Kenn walked over to the rest of the pile and lifted the boxes up into his arms with ease. Sun groaned. Those two are always so competitive in everything.
"Hey mom, you want something to drink?" Siria helped her mom down the rest of the ramp.
"No thanks. I'm good."
"I'm getting you some water anyway." Siria raced off to their house to get the water.
"SIS! YOU'RE BACK!" Rae jumped onto her sister's back. "What's up with Zolo? He looks very angry."
"Luffy knocked him off the ship."
"Oh, and I missed it? Dang it. I knew I should have gone." Sun giggled as her sister climbed off her back.
"Hey, so what did the doctor say?" Nami came over to them.
"Uh….yeah, everybody's gonna wanna know, so let's go inside my house and discuss it." Sun left the two girls and started walking towards her house.
"You don't think…."
"No way, it can't be. They've only been married for a few months."
"Nami, a few months is all it takes. Except with mermen, that took years." The rest of the group went inside right after Sun did. She took a seat in the kitchen, where Siria had her glass of water waiting.
Kenn and Zolo placed the supplies right on top of the table. Whenever they got supplies, they would distribute it evenly among everybody.
"You sure you're ok there, Zolo. My father did tell me that humans are fragile compared to mermen."
"Since when did you ever listen to your father?"
"I use to think he was awesome. So I always listened to him."
"Hey, no more complaning. Now it's time to make my announcement." Sun stood from her chair in the kitchen. "Guys, me and Zolo have some wonderful news. We're going to have a baby."
Nami, Rae, Bliss, and Mariko started to jump up and down with excitement. All the guys smiled and once again congratulated Zolo. They had done so before at the doctor's office.
Sun was so caught up with the other girls surrounding her that she didn't know both Kenn and Siria sneak out of the house.
When they got outside, they noticed it was already pretty dark. They took a seat near the edge of the sea and looked up at the sky, noticing all the stars that were starting to show.
"How do you feel about this, bro?"
"Weird. I mean, this baby is actually going to be full human. What if mom likes this baby more than us?"
"I could never." They heard a voice behind them and looked to see their mom standing there.
"Come on mom, it'll be human. You're having it with somebody you love. You had us with somebody you despised." Siria started to get emotional and was getting ready to cry. Sun went to sit in the middle of them and put her arms around her daughter.
"Yes, your father is someone I despised. But that doesn't mean I don't love you two." She pulled Kenn into the small family hug. "I loved you two from the moment you were born. You two got me through a lot of hard times. Just knowing that I had my babies made me smile every day."
"You smiled? Even though we have a lot of dad's resemblance." Kenn asked.
"It was expected. But I don't care. Your father never cared for you two like I did. And still do. This baby is going to require a lot of love and attention. But that won't mean I love it more than you two. I'm going to love each and every one of you equally."
"Thanks mom." The two gave her a slight squeeze.
"I love you guys. So any questions?"
"Yeah, boy or girl?" Siria asked.
"Good question. We won't know until it's born. What do you think it will be?"
"A girl." Siria squealed
"A boy." Kenn said
"Or twins." The two said.
"Whatever I get is what I will get." 'But I don't wanna carry twins again. Too heavy.' She laughed at her own thought.
"What's so funny?" Her son asked her.
"Nothing. Just tired. I'm going to sleep now. I advise you two to do the same."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Are they ok?" Zolo asked her when she entered their room.
"Yeah, they're good now. How about you? Has the feeling of being a dad sunk in yet?" She sat on their bed, next to him.
"Nope. Not yet."
"It will soon, although, the feeling of being a mom didn't hit me until my kids were actually born." Zolo sighed as he lay down fully on his back on the bed. Sun crawled over to him and lay down on his side.
He put one arm under her body and pulled her closed to him. Her head rested on his chest.
In a few minutes, she was fast asleep on his. Zolo looked down at her face, smiling at how peaceful she looked. His face turned to sadness though, was he really ready to step up and be a dad?
He gently lifted Sun off his arm and placed her back down on the bed. She groaned at the sudden movement and turned her body to face the other way. Zolo lifted himself off the bed, grabbed onto his swords, and left the room.
He passed by Siria's room and looked in there to check up on her. She was fast asleep. He continued to walk down the hall until he came to the Kenn's door.
"All right, what's wrong?" Kenn exited his room and joined Zolo. The two walked outside and felt the cool breeze hit them. Kenn realized that Zolo wasn't in the mood to talk about problems, so he just let the silence slide by.
They separated and stood about ten feet away from each other. Zolo got in his battle stance and stood ready; while Kenn just stood still.
Zolo launched himself at Kenn, running as fast as he could. Kenn timed it to where he jumped into the air before Zolo hit him.
The two battled for what seemed like hours, neither one of them showing signs of slowing down. Until finally, Zolo stood at the same place he started. His heartbeat was racing to what seemed like 100 mph and was sweating everywhere. Kenn had barely broken a sweat.
Zolo put his swords away. "You're a worthy opponent, Kenn."
"I try." He answered back. Kenn looked out to the ocean and narrowed his eyes at the distance.
"Hey, are you coming back inside? If your mother finds out that you and I have been having sparring matches in the middle of the night to take out our anger, she'll take her anger out on me." Kenn hadn't noticed Zolo was already at the door to his house.
Kenn ignored the comment and pushed past Zolo to get into the house. He then hurried off to his room and locked the door behind him. That feeling he had was a feeling of anger. He could feel the anger that was being given off from somewhere else. And he knew who it was giving off that anger vibe.
"Crud, for sure I thought they were dead. For sure. Arlong, Kuroobi, and Dad-how'd did you survive?"
That's the beginning. Zolo and Sun are going to have a baby. how exciting is that? but then again, Kenn feels that his dad is still alive. What will happen next? Thank you for reading. Please leave a review on your way out.
