Continuing onward with the story, we have reached Enies Lobby. Did I just rhyme? Close enough! I was debating with a skip to the end of all the fighting, but I felt like that would seem too rushed. So not going to do that. Patience with me, please!

Here the Chapter Starts

"They're back!" Sirius announced with a grin, jumping away from the large windows and running towards the door. Jyabura had to grab him by his arm and yank him back to the couch in order to stop him. "What's that for?!"

"They'll get in here on their own time," the wolf zoan pointed out. "Calm down already."

"Yes, it has been five years since all of CP9 has been together," the chief Spandam commented before waving a newspaper in the air in a rage. "But what is up with this story?! The plan was the kill the rebellion leaders, a total of three targets. Yet you three, you killed twenty-three!" The three agents stayed silent, though Sirius stuck his tongue out.

He is not a member of CP9, but if possible, he would tag along on some of Jyabura's missions just for the hell of it. Of course, he always made sure Celosia and Vito would be okay with him gone for a while. He probably could have stopped Fukuro from saying anything, but sometimes the chaos that one causes from talking was too fun to pass up. He regrets so many people dying, but they chose to fight the agents and refused to give up.

"Do you have anything to say for yourselves?!" Spandam continued to rage.

Kumadori dropped his head to the ground so quickly, his feet shot into the air, claiming responsibility. Jyabura yelled at him to stop it and that he'll explain. Of course, as per his usual, Kumadori offered to commit suicide to regain his honor, which only caused more yelling. As Jyabura explained their plan was leaked, Fukuro unzipped his mouth and stated that he told the town.

"See, moments like this," Sirius sighed contently as he watched the chaos unfold. "This is what I live for."

"You're not helping!" the wolf zoan roared at him.

"I'm supposed to?" the Animagus returned. "I thought I was just supposed to sit here, look pretty, and eat popcorn while enjoying the show."

"You are so getting it later," Jyabura growled, though was ginning playfully.

"Feisty alpha," Sirius shot back with a laugh.

A ruckus over the den-den mushi claimed Spandam's attention, informing of an intruder heading towards the front gate. And causing a lot of trouble, by the sounds of it.

"Monkey D Luffy," Sirius chuckled, locking his fingers together then placing his chin on them. "Charging onto an island like this place, probably in search of his friend. Such friendship could be admirable."

"You used to be like that," his lover pointed out with a quirked brow.

"Used to be," he agreed with a sigh. "When my former friends were the same way. Not so much anymore. At least, towards them I'm not."

Nodding, Jyabura turned his attention back to the yelling Spandam that was stressing out over the intruder breaching the front gate. "You don't need to scream like that, Chief," he told the man. "We're here, after all."

"Don't be a fool!" Spandam yelled back at him. "As the front steps of the World Government, Enies Lobby wears a special badge! I would expect any idiot to understand what it means to invade this place!"

"Understand?" Sirius laughed sardonically. "Sure. Give a damn? Probably not in this case. If the rumors are true about Mugiwara Luffy, then everyone here is screwed over. He'll do everything and anything in his power to get his friend back."

Here is a line!

Celosia paused in her steps, looking over her shoulder towards the gates. "The giants are up," she noted, feeling the vibrations of their movements. "We must have intruders. More of them, anyway."

"They will be dealt with in time," Lucci told her, wrapping an arm around her waist and leading her to the tower. "It is not a concern of ours. For now."

"I dunno," Kaku drawled. "Waking up the giants for common intruders seems a bit much. I don't think the Mugiwara Crew has backed down yet."

"With Aqua Laguna still assaulting Water Seven, if it hasn't stopped yet, it would be impossible for anyone to leave that island," Kalifa pointed out.

"What if there was another sea train?" Vito suddenly asked, hanging upside down from his father's shoulders, a pair of earmuffs covering his ears to block out sound after he mentioned it getting loud again. Lucci did not seem to mind the boy hanging off him since he was silent when the child climbed up his back to get there in the first place.

"There's just the Puffing Tom," Kaku replied. "Only one sea track, so only one sea train."

"Prototypes had to be made in order to get the Puffing Tom, though," Celosia stated. "If one of those prototypes still functions, then it is possible for a group to follow along the tracks."

"When it becomes a nuisance for us, then we will handle it," Lucci stated as Vito pulled himself back up, crossing his arms and placing them on the man's head.

"I have to say this," the youngest agent sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "Lucci, do you have any clue how weird it is to see you like that?"

"I do not know what you mean," the older man replied as one of the lesser agents ran into the tower, announcing their return.

"Vito, come here before Spandam has a fit," Celosia said softly, taking her son from Lucci's shoulders.

"Let him, he's mean," Vito grumbled, wrapping his arms around her neck as he pressed his legs to her stomach and back. "Besides, Sirius thinks it's funny."

"You need to stop spending so much time with Sirius," she commented lightly as they entered the room.

Lucci, being his usual respectful self, greeted the Chief first. "It's been a while, sir."

"Ah!" Spandam exclaimed. "You're back! Lucci, Kaku, Blueno, and Kalifa!"

"That's sexual harassment," Kalifa said.

"For saying your name?!"

"So that's where you went, Sia," Sirius chuckled as his goddaughter came to him. "Impatient much?"

"I'm always impatient, I'm just really good at hiding it," Celosia commented as she sat on the arm of the couch, waiting for Lucci to make his report.

He was quick giving his report, informing Spandam of the two criminals they brought in, as well as why they were collected. The other three agents on the couch turned to them, listening to the report before Jyabura suddenly grinned.

"Long time no see, Lucci," he cackled. "Looks like that flat mug of yours hasn't changed much."

"And there it is," Sirius grumbled, earning a nod from Celosia while Vito watched with undivided attention.

"Same goes for your stupid looks, Jyabura," Lucci returned.

Kaku sighed exasperatedly, already tired of the two. "Settle down, you two. We haven't seen each other in a long time."

"Yoyoi! Don't fight you two!" Kumadori threw in as Fukuro unzipped his mouth. "It's been five years! Show some affection!"

"No way," the two zoans scoffed before Fukuro suddenly balled up and threw himself to the group of four. Each took a strike at him, knowing what he was doing.

"Couldn't help yourself, could you, Fukuro?" Kalifa commented, pushing up her glasses.

Fukuro closed his eyes and put his fingertips together. "Rokushiki Ryuugi Teawase." With a low hum, he started speaking. "If a typical armed guardsman is considered to have ten doriki, then… Let's see, let's see… Then your strengths are… Kalifa at six hundred thirty doriki. Blueno at eight hundred twenty doriki. Kaku…Chapapa! Two thousand two hundred doriki! And Lucci… Chapapapa?! Four thousand doriki!"

"Four thousand?!" Jyabura repeated in shock. "Hey, are you messing around?! I've never heard of such a high number!"

"It is surprising," Celosia commented as Vito grinned, proud to have a father that reached heights no one has before. Maybe he will one day, too. "Of course, considering what they did for their undercover work, all that work as shipwrights would increase their physical strength."

"Jyabura's just mad because Kaku scored higher than him by twenty points," Sirius pointed out with a grin, pulling the earmuffs off Vito's head. "You know he's always had a sore spot over Lucci being better than him, despite being younger." Shaking his head, he looked to the arguing agents. "I still think he was bred for this work."

"You worry for Vito," she surmised, earning a confused blink from her child.

"And you," he added, ignoring Jyabura yelling to Kaku about using his zoan form against the younger agent. "You know I worry most over you getting roped into all this and being kept in a gilded cage."

"Lucci would not do that to me," she informed firmly, watching the two carnivorous zoans shift into their hybrid forms, ready for a fight. Vito's attention was back on them. "I won't let anyone put a collar on my child, either. I would rip their arms off then shred their throats should they try."

"Does he know that?" Sirius asked with a quirked brow.

"Lucci told me he would help," she answered, giving him a small shrug.

"Would you all forget about that meaningless ranking!" Spandam yelled out. "When you all completed your training, you all gained super-human strength! You're super-humans even if you achieved only five hundred doriki!"

"Chief is mad because his doriki is nine," Fukuro announced, earning a laugh from Vito.

"Be quiet! That doesn't matter since I'm the one in charge! Plus, I have my sword if I need to fight!"

"Don't worry, sir," Kalifa chimed in. "We already know you're weak."

"What?" Spandam whined, frowning to the blonde woman with a fallen expression. "Do you have to be so blunt about it?"

"That's sexual harassment."

"I was just responding to what you said!"

Kalifa stared at him for a moment, Sirius snickering behind his hand in anticipation as Celosia lowered Vito to sit next to her godfather. "Sir," Kalifa called as Celosia stood up.

"What?" Spandam returned.

"That's sexual harassment," she informed, readjusting her glasses as Sirius started laughing loudly, Vito with him.

"Just being here?!" Spandam yelled.

As the agents went on with their antics, she placed a hand on Lucci's shoulder, earning his attention. "He has a reward for two," she informed. "They look like devil fruits."

"I see," he chuckled lowly. "It would be interesting to see what powers they gain should they accept."

"You will make sure they do, won't you?" Celosia asked, tilting her head.

"Kaku is powerful enough to handle one, while Kalifa could use one to increase her strength, depending on the power," the zoan explained. "How quickly they learn these powers would only prove how dedicated they are, and how quickly they can think on their feet if those intruders come any closer."

Humming softly, she laid her head on his shoulder. He tilted his head to rest on hers in return. "Any tries for a daughter will have to wait for a while, then," she commented.

"For now," he answered, subtly nuzzling her head.

Spandam ordered for the two prisoners to be escorted in. Each agent took a chair, Sirius sitting with his back to Jyabura's side, staring at the two prisoners, while Celosia sat on the backrest of Lucci's chair, running her fingers through his curly dark hair in an effort to groom. His eyes closed as he leaned back, letting her do as she wished with Vito sitting on his legs in cub form. The chief blathered on and on about how happy he is and how important the day is.

Of course, someone had to get enough of the man. Franky, even bound, bit down on Spandam's head after being reminded of his master's arrest, only to be removed by Kumadori using his hair to get him off.

"Hope it left a scar," Celosia muttered, gently removing a tangle of curls trying to knot. "He does talk too much, and his foot seems to have found its home in his mouth."

"Well, what do expect of a spoiled little git?" Sirius chuckled, shaking his head then nudging the snickering Jyabura's side. "Think he's realized the receiver is hanging off the snail yet?"

Here is a line!

Even with the news of intruders, though it was brushed off because Spandam's stupidity basically got rid of all incoming information, the Chief took his time taunting Robin and Franky before rewarding Kalifa and Kaku with devil fruits. Jyabura, ever the superstitious one, yelled about tiny devils in the fruits and the one in him fighting those little devils if the fruits came near him, which Blueno and Lucci pointed out that he is wrong. Lucci, tired of all the yelling already, grabbed the two younger agents and led them to a different room.

Celosia followed after them while Sirius tried to calm his lover down. Lucci would no doubt encourage the two to eat their fruits, even though they don't know what the powers are. He sees no problem with them gaining the powers stored inside, and he wouldn't. He's had his since he was thirteen, shortly after gaining his scars. It has been years of training before he could mix his Rokushiki and zoan abilities perfectly. But if intruders are heading their way, the two will be thrown into battle with powers they are still learning to use.

Kaku and Kalifa placed their fruits on the table in front of them, staring at the strangely colored and designed items in front of them as they debated with themselves. Lucci, after pouring himself a glass of bourbon, dropped himself onto the chair, soon joined by Celosia sitting on the arm. Vito, still in cub form, bounced around the room, skidding on the floor as he tried to turn when going too fast.

As she expected, Lucci did encourage them to eat it. To disregard the fact that they will no longer be able to swim. That there was no way to become weaker with a devil fruit.

"Stop pushing them," she sighed, flicking the back of his head. "Kaku. Kalifa." The two looked up at her, as did some others from the doorway that she had no doubt were going to try and discourage. "You are skilled assassins in your own right. A powerful swordsman that can use his own legs as blades. A woman swift on her feet and uses whips like no other. You both are good at your work and at what you do. Devil fruits may give you more power, or they may give you an embarrassing one. Lucci is right in one regard, you won't get weaker.

"But keep this in mind. You have been training since you were children to master Rokushiki. If you eat those fruits, depending on the power, you may be handicapped for a while due to adjusting to the new power and how to blend it with your Rokushiki. If Spandam was not so idiotic to leave the den-den an open line, we would know whether or not you would have time to learn. They could be useful, or they could be a hindrance if you are unable to master them properly."

"And they taste like shit," Jyabura added. "Shit, I tell you!"

"Jyabura just doesn't want Kaku getting any stronger, chapapapa," Fukuro announced.

"Shut up!"

"It is your choice," Celosia pointed out as she rose from the chair and approached them. "Just make sure that this is something you want, and nothing you will regret."

"We understand," Kalifa accepted with a nod, picking up her fruit.

"Don't worry about us, Celosia," Kaku told her with a small smile as he picked up his own. "Like Lucci said, this would be fun."

"These powers are not given for fun," she growled, earning wide eyes from the two. "They are given to be used for a purpose. If you choose to eat those fruits, makes sure your purpose is just and regret is absent."

They nodded to her before both took a bite of their fruits. Swallowing their bites, the duo made faces of disgust, which were interpreted as faces of a different emotion. The agents exclaimed in disgust, much to the amusement of the other members.

"So they ate the fruits," Sirius sighed, shaking his head as he entered the room, patting Jyabura on the shoulder playfully. "Poor alpha. Guess the pup will just keep getting stronger."

"Watch it," Jyabura snarled back.

"You will realize the change in due time," Lucci informed the two agents. "I'm looking forward to it. So get a handle on your powers for now. Depending on our orders, you may be using them in battle soon. Blueno couldn't wait, so he went on ahead." Placing his glass down, he stood and walked to stand behind Celosia. "Have fun."

The agents plus Sirius filed out of the room until it was only Lucci, Celosia, and their child. Once the door was closed, she turned to him and crossed her arms. "Are you sure this was a good idea that couldn't wait?" she inquired.

"Admit it, you are just as curious as the rest of us as to what powers they hold," he pointed out, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her to him, burying his nose into her neck before inhaling deeply. "I have missed you these past few years. One reason why I hated Water Seven so much was because it took me from you. And I missed so much with Vito."

"You could have denied the mission, passed it to someone else," she stated.

"No, I could not. Anyone else would have ruined the mission," the zoan argued before looking down as Vito ran into his legs.

"You have much to make up for," Celosia teased, rubbing her nose against his chin before shifting into her cheetah form. She sat in front of him, purring loudly as her tail swept over the floor, chased by their cub.

He smirked at him as he removed his shirt and tossed it to the chair, changing into his full animal form. Vito, curious to his current form, left his mother's tail and approached him, sniffing cautiously. He lowered his head and butted his nose to the cub's forehead. Celosia, letting the two interact, raced to the door and crashed into it, throwing the doors wide open.

Lucci calmly walked up behind her, Vito twisting around his legs while occasionally swatting at his tail. Seeing the playful glint in his lover's eyes, he was prepared for her to pounce on him, grabbing Vito in her jaws and darting off. He easily gave chase, a rumbling chuckle emerging from his chest.

Around the corner, Sirius smirked as he watched the large felines return to their old game. "Glad to see being away for five years hasn't changed him that much," he commented as Jyabura planted his chin on the wizard's shoulder to stare down the hall as well, seeing the trio of cats sharply turn a corner.

"You know what?" the wolf zoan asked. "I think he only does this when she's around."

"Well, it is good for both of them," Sirius chuckled, nipping at the younger man's ear. "Come on. I want to see what Kaku and Kalifa can do now."

Here is a line!

Kaku stared down at the trio with a held-back snicker itching at his lips. Lucci, full leopard form, is laying sternal with Vito curled into his side, the cub's paws covering his nose and eyes closed. Celosia was draped over his shoulders, licking the back of his head. Lucci himself had his head down and eyes closed, a rumbling purr echoing into the air blending with a slightly higher pitch purr.

"Blackmail," he chimed, earning a lazy glare from the leopard. "Lucci purrs!"

"Say a word and I will end you," Lucci warned as he stood, changing back into his human form. Celosia easily slid off his back when he stood while Vito's head shot up from his feign sleep. "Did you need something, Kaku?"

"Um… well…" the swordsman said nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

Celosia shifted back to her human form, her body covered by a white tank top and black silk skirt reaching to her knees. "Are you having complications with your new powers?" she inquired curiously, wrapping her arms around her lover's neck.

"Kind of," Kaku admitted with a shrug. "The devil fruit I ate is zoan class. The Ushi-Ushi no Mi, Model… Giraffe."

"Giraffe?" Vito repeated after he shifted into his human form. "That's the really tall animal with the big brown spots, right?"

"Yeah," he sighed, rolling his eyes and looking like he was bracing himself for teasing.

"Are you having difficulty controlling your forms or using Rokushiki while in a certain form?" Lucci asked.

"I'm having a little difficulty controlling my shifting," he admitted, lowering his head. "I try to change into my full or hybrid form and I go into the other by accident. And I can figure out some ways of merging my zoan power with my Rokushiki. It's just… First of all, I do not regret eating that fruit. I'm glad I did! It's just… Jyabura and Sirius won't stop teasing me!"

Lucci sighed, pressing his palm to his forehead. "Like a child," he muttered, earning a small laugh from the woman behind him.

"Kaku, do you know why you may end up being one of the strongest zoan types?" Celosia asked with a smirk, earning a confused blink from the younger man. "A giraffe is a powerful animal. So powerful, they will not kick each other, or they risk serious injury, potentially death. Instead, they fight with their necks. Their kicks can kill predators that hunt them, and their long legs give them great speed. In fact, the only reason their population hasn't completely exploded is partially due to predators working in large groups to bring down an adult, or the newborns dying from the birth fall.

"Lucci and Jyabura may be carnivores, but a giraffe is no pushover." Her smirk grew more as she tucked her chin down into Lucci's shoulder. "You should ignore that teasing and be proud of your new power. Like I told you earlier, it will take you time to learn full control. But listen not to those who wish to upset you. After all, what power does a wolf hold over a giraffe?"

Kaku stared at her for a moment before nodding his head in acceptance. "Thanks," he said, giving her a respectful bow. "I'm still working on my changes and getting used to the longer limbs. But I will learn and I will not waver."

"Good," Lucci chuckled lowly. "I hope you do not disappoint, Kaku. I have high hopes for you and would be very upset should you prove unable to adjust."

"I will keep working on it," he promised as another man ran into the room.

Panting with his hand pointing down the hall, he said, "Forgive the intrusion, sirs and madam! Chief Spandam has ordered all of CP9 to his office immediately!"

Sighing with an anticipating smirk on his lips, Lucci stood as Celosia released her grip on him. "Very well," he returned. "We will be heading there momentarily."

"The Chief was adamant that all members come immediately," the man informed.

"Momentarily," he repeated coldly, causing the man to shrink back in fear before apologizing profusely then running from the room. "Celosia, it appears the intruders are strong enough to move through our forces. Take Vito then go find Sirius. The three of you should find someplace to remain until everything settles down."

"Aw, but I want to watch," Vito protested with a huff.

"Vito, if the intruders have reached this far, then that means they fought through the ten thousand force of soldiers on this island, as well as the special forces," Celosia explained as she grasped his hand and helped him up to his feet. "It is best we remain out of the way."

"But-!"

"Listen to your mother," Lucci told him firmly.

Putting, Vito kicked the ground. "Okay…"

"For the record, we will be watching the opening act," Celosia pointed out calmly, walking by the man without a glance.

He glared lightly at the back of her head, but knew arguing with her would be pointless. Kaku snickered behind his hand, causing the leopard zoan to shift his glare to the younger agent. "You try talking her out of it," he challenged.

"I know better," Kaku answered.

"So do I."

Here the Chapter Ends

So because of things happening being canon anyway, we're basically going to skip most of that. We will see Celosia's POV during the moment before the bridge is dropped, but fights will not be taken into. We might just skip all that because it will still be canon. Hopefully, by the end of next chapter, we will get to a fun part.

With luck, we will return to the HP world in another chapter or two. Yay! Now please stop asking. They will get there after the arc, but they will get there.

Let me know what you all think! ^^ Seriously, thanks for your support! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
