A/N. Ok! Time for review replies, and thanks for the review everyone!
To xXBorn-A-PirateXx: Isn't that a wonderful song, one of the best Christmas Carols by far! Thanks for the review and glad you liked it, enjoy the rest.
To Alexsasha: Unfortunately, Ace and Sabo will never be heard singing as far as we know, but if you go onto youtube and look for Bink's Sake, you'll find a version where you can hear Luffy singing quite loudly, to the point of sticking out quite a bit. He can sing though, he just sticks out a lot. It's unfortunate though that we will never get to hear Ace and Sabo singing...Anyways, enjoy! and thanks for the review!
To Rell: Glad you thought it was so cute. You're welcome, and please enjoy the rest, thanks for the review!
To TheBlackSeaReaper: Thanks and enjoy! I will!
To Aoi Usa: Thanks and enjoy!
To Naomi-nami16: That's fine, and welcome back! And ssh! You'll give the plotline for this chapter away! It seems to actually be common belief that Ace, Luffy, and Sabo can sing, or at least Ace and Luffy can. It has been proven that Luffy can sing though, unlike Ace or Sabo, to my knowledge. Look up Bink's Sake on youtube, you'll eventually come across a version where you can hear Luffy singing. He just sticks out. Thanks for the review and enjoy!
Ok! Now that that's finished, thanks for reading this everybody! Now time for summary and disclaimer!
Summary: Day 4 of Luffy and Sabo's time aboard the Moby Dick!
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece!
Day 4: Pillow related confusion...
On deck-
Marco had been talking with Thatch over Christmas dinner and what they would be eating. They had four huge mouths to feed, meaning they would need even more food then they usually would. It didn't help that Ace, Luffy, and Sabo had become nortorious food thieves in the small amount of time they were on board. Luffy had been the most merciful of the two, as she had actually bothered to be a bit more polit ethen her brothers. She actually stole a lot less then her brothers, and then actually bothered to ask if she could take some food on occasion.
She even had the decency to apologize for stealing Pops' food and then completely left his plate alone.
So Luffy had become a small blessing among her rowdy and out of control brothers.
What was nice was that she had at some point started referring to all of the Whitebeard Pirates as either nii-kun' or 'nee-chan' depending on the gender. The serious confusion came when Luffy had called Izou 'nee-chan', which had led to a confusing and disorientating explanation of the fact that yes, despite that Izou dressed like a lady, he was in fact a guy. But that was a story for another time.
Marco had discovered that they'd need to do some extra shopping to get the necessary food supplies to make as spectacular a dinner as possible for their visitors and Ace. And so Marco had of course, volunteered to do just that.
He had not expected helpful company.
This is what had led to their current situation. Luffy wanted to come with him and help gather supplies, while her brothers were dead set against it, at that very moment trying to disuade their sister from accompanying him to the next island. Luffy could not persuaded otherwise and was succeeding at proving once again, that she was indeed, and without a doubt, Ace and Sabo's little sister. She was, if not even more so, stubborn then them, and was not to be moved in her decision.
So at some point, Ace and Sabo finally broke, and submitted to their sister's request of letting her go with the Phoenix.
To say that Marco and the others were thoroughly confused was understatement. That is, the argument had left everybody severly confused.
Warning: The subsequent replay of Luffy's verbal arguement with her brothers will probably and quite easily confuse you. Read at your own risk.
(This is the key for the upcoming conversation, please read. L=Luffy A=Ace S=Sabo)
If Marco and the others remembered it correctly, it had gone something along the lines of this:
"You are not going with Marco, Luffy!" (A)
"Yes I am!" (L)
"No you're not!" (S & A)
"Chicken butts!" (L)
"What does that have to do with-" (S)
"I'm going!" (L)
"Luffy! No you are NOT!" (S)
"Meanie poopie faces! I'm going, and there isn't a fishstick you can do about it!" (L)
"Fishstick?" (A)
"Why do you want fishsticks? I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as Christmas Dinner Food." (L)
"What? That's not!" (A)
"That's not what?" (L)
"Now I'm confused..." (S)
"What's there to be confused about, Turkey or roasr or chicken, maybe Christmas Dinner Food, but Fish probably isn't." (L)
"Huh...When did we get on what is and is not Christmas Dinner Food?" (A)
"I don't kn-" (S)
"FRUITCAKE!" (L)
"Wait what?" (A & S)
"1+1= 1 on a bun!" (L)
"Wh? Luffy stop it" (S)
"The answer to everything in the universe is Cow Fish!" (L)
"...What the HELL!"(S)
"So I'm going bye!"
"Uh...Bye? Wait wh?" (a now very disoriented A)
"Forget it Ace, Luffy won, again..." (S)
So now Marco and Luffy were waving at everybody as they both changed into their animal forms, and took off in full flight in the direction of the island.
"I hate it when she does that..."
"Ooh, don't you though..."
Willapa Town-
Luffy yawned as she rubbed at her tired eyes. Their little adventure had been more or less fun, but Luffy was getting sleepy and bored. Which was never a good combination. They were almost done though, with only one more stop before they would make the flight back to the Moby Dick.
That is, when some idiot decided to try and intimidate Luffy. Marco was not about to let that happen though.
To be short and sweet, the fight ended with the man not being able to move to much, and to this day, he is still in the hospital recovering.
Back on the Moby Dick-
All the supplies had been put up, and nobody was allowed to touch any of it at all, (coughAcecouch) so that left Marco to just relaxing while they finished up decorations. All that was left was the Christmas Tree, and some other ornaments and decorations here and there, and then they would be done.
So Marco had resigned himself to napping on the Deck. He was almost completely gone when he felt a small weight on his stomach. He opened one eye, and then looked down, blinking slightly as he spoke up,
"Hey Luffy..."
"Yeah?"
"...What are you doing?"
"I'm tired."
"I can see that...Why are you using me as a pillow?"
"Why does Ace turn into fire?"
"What does that have to do with you using me for a pillow?"
"The same way of why you follow the Old Man does."
"That made no sense..."
"Neither does the fact that Devil Fruits exist...But they do."
"So wait...Huh?" The practical side of Marco's brain that he was using to find the logic in this situation had been outrun and outmatched by Luffy's own sense of logic, so to say he wasn't thinking quite clearly was justified.
"Just go back to sleep." Marco was silent for a while. Long enough for Luffy to completely conk out with her head securely rested on his stomach. Marco sighed in defeat, and layed back down, deciding that it was indeed pointless to argue with Luffy over any matter, as physically you might be able to beat her, but in any verbal arguement, she always won.
"Night." He sighed as slowly the world around them drifted in the numbing hum that followed when you fell asleep and began to dream.
With Thatch, Ace, and Sabo-
Thatch and Ace were cackling evilly as Sabo could only shake his head, not willing to stop them either. They were busy taking pictures of the current scene before them, from a safe and non-lethal distance just incase.
Truly it was an adorable picture. To the point where neither brothers could find it in them to ruin it.
Marco the Phoenix, feared 1st division commander of the infamous Whitebeard Pirates, was sleeping, sprawled out on the figurehead with Luffy curled up like a cat with her head resting comfortably on said commander's stomach.
It would be criminal to not take pictures while they had the chance.
Marco would kill them of course, and there was no telling what Luffy would do if somebody made fun of Marco for becoming Luffy's newest "pillow". But dang it if it wasn't worth it.
It was just too cute!
A/N. Hope you enjoy, and sorry if that was kinda crappy. It is 1: 15 in the morning as I am writing this. And boy if I don't feel sleepy and my brain ain't working right.
So anyways, please review and thanks for reading. See ya!
