I woke up again just pass noon with Mitzy and Fuū clicking away on visual den dens well giggling. Yawning I rolled over and out of the bed before standing and swiping the snails away from them with a smile. "I don't think yer heads would like ta know that yer disobeying some of tha side rules. Ah course you can give me some blackmail on Ace an Hats so I can uh ignore yer ways." Mitzy and Fuū handed over several photos. With a grin I sent them off and unchained Aokojii from the chair "Come on I'm goin ta thatya to the mess hall." He nodded and stood up. Humming I led him out off the medbay and down a set of narrow steps to the ground all well silently notifying the lookouts. Waving to Gæll, Ander, and Vearen I kicked the tree and grabbed the rope ladder that fell "I hope you can climb with tha cuffs on." He nodded and started to climb up after me. As we got to the top I slipped on a bannana peel falling onto my rear glaring at the peel I picked it up and tossed it onto someone's head. Standing up again I dusted my butt off before pulling Aokojii to the swinging door "In we go!" I grinned and looked at his face well he looked around amazed.
Leo came out of the kitchens and I pointed to the top well tilting my head to Aokojii Leo nodded and went back into the kitchens. Clicking my tounge I gave a light tug on the chain and started up the steps for the top "Its lunch and we both haven't eaten." Sliding to the side I had him sit on the inside. Sitting down I waited as one of the cabinkids came up with a few plates of food and two glasses of juice. "Thanks brat, tell Leo I think you should get a few beri's for working." The kid nodded and raced back down the steps. I started to eat well Aokojii just sat there swallowing I waved a hand in front of his face "What's gots you staren?" He laughed. "Well you said you were pirates and I just don't think your piratey pirates. To kind and cute." I blinked once them twice before falling to stitches. "We are real pirates! The ones who set sail to see the world and for fill their dreams! Those bastards that go and plunder innocent villages are fakes!" He smiled and started to eat. Finishing the plate I stood up and dropped the chain with a snicker I jumped onto one of the beams and slid down leaving him to eat.
I crash landed into a group of cabinkids playing poker "I'm sorry that I'm not sorry, get up! I have work for you to do, yes its because of the new guy." Standing I took the cards and pulled the kids up. With a grin that reached my eyes I started working them "You 3 brats I want a tree limb picked big enough to hold 4! You 2 I want you to take a few thousand beri and get the essentials! And you can go tell the lookouts to get someone to call the search party's back and set a few new ones." They scattered. Giggling I went back to the top and found Aokojii still waiting for me with his plate empty "You just passed a test." He blinked "You didn't run." He opened his mouth and closed it. Quietly motioning for him to fallow I took him back down to ground level before taking his cuffs off and calling Kassy over. "Please get a few outfits for him, I have a box of donate clothes by the back window of the main house go get them out of it." Kassy nodded and ran off. I skipped over to a small boulder and scrambled up it to look out over the clearing I waved Aokojii up to sit next to me.
I hummed and watched as the crew milled about doing odd jobs or working on their skills Aokojii sat a bit farther behind me watching as well. "You don't seem to have a system." I laughed and smiled at him sadly "We have rules and Family Rules to keep everything in order. What you saw at MarineFord was how they stripped the grunts of their individuality so they wouldn't be people to them. Here we work as a family everyone's different in their own special ways. The rules are more like a guideline and only Family Rules can't be disobeyed." He made a strange noise. Looking back at him he was staring at nothing and a few faint tears were slipping away I bit my lip and chewed. "What's wrong?" He sniffed and wiped his face off "I was thinking about how I wish I had met you guys before now." I smiled and hissed out a giggle "Shihihihihi! We are pirates." He nodded and grinned.

I skidded to a stop and looked to the West most lookout just before Aokojii bowled me over "I give points, you at least tryed to stop." He chuckled sheepishly. Pushing him off I hopped up and dashed to the lookout "You said a messenger reported back that the girls were found up at Mid Beach?!" She nodded and shouted back. "Yeah! Sabo is going to Rabbit them back! He said they were just a little beat up but fine other then a few scrapes!" I giggled and bounced in place. Spinning I rocketed into Aokojii and started telling him the good news he groaned as one of my knees hit his ribs. "Get off." I rolled off and kept talking "Which means that voting can take place after the Docs release them!" Aokojii pushed himself up. "How does a voting work anyway?" I cheered and did a backflip as the Rabbit Hole appeared and the party was dumped out. With a smile to Aokojii I climbed up a tree and worked my way to the top braking the tree top layer. That's where I found Ace strumming away on his guitar and writing the notes down.
"Ace the others were found! Plus we need ta hold ah voting!" With that I grabbed his ankle and jumped down to land on a branch. Snickering at his face I jump down a few more before tossing him over the edge and leaping the rest of the way down onto Luffy. Luffy groaned as his head the ground and a few ribs cracked "I'm still not made of rubber El. If you want me not to die because you landed on me get me ah devilfruit." I nodded. "Its added to my list Lu!" Cartwheeling off of him I went over to where Ace was twitching on the ground "Have a nice fall?" He was up and trying to take my head off with his baton in a millisecond.
I ducked and weaved around the swings well looking at the new people that were still trying to stand up. "Hey Hats! Do you think I can do some experiments with yer hat!" He narrowed his eyes "Its for the good of the crew!" He visibly became depressed. I smirked and grabbed the baton end swinging my weight to the left it knocked Ace off of his feet.
Walking over to Sabo and the arrivals I took his hat and pictured a devilfruit I had seen in a book awhile back. Well I pictured everything about the fruit Ace got up and joined us next to the finally steady girls "When should we hold the voting?" I ignored him instead shoving my hand into the hat. My hand closed around a small object and I pulled falling back as the fruit didn't seem to be quite happy about being pulled out of the hat. I started to laugh hysterically as I brought the fruit up to my eyes and showing the confused people around me. "Is that a Devilfruit?" I nodded and tossed it to Ace "It seems that my experiment worked! You can have it Ace its the Mera-Mera no mi." He stared. Sabo took his hat back and looked into it with wonder well Ace stared at the fruit amazed with the levels my insanity had hit. I stuck my tounge out and took the fruit before shoving it down his throat "Stop gawking and eat yah dolt!" He swallowed. I nodded as his face went green from the terrible taste "Good job. By the way that's a Logia the rarest category of DFs and a good power to have. Just don't get a big head." Ace glared just before his hair caught fire.
I was joined in laughter by most everyone well someone tossed a bucket of seawater over his head. Snapping my fingers I looked at Jamma with a devils smile "I think when I learn more about DFs yer going ta get one." He trembled and ran. Blowing a raspberry after his fleeing back I turned back to the girls "Now then which of you 3 is Azri?" A girl with black hair and purple eyes scooted forward. Patting her head I smiled "We can either let you be in the voting or we can set you up for transport to the next island." She shook her head and made a few symbol with her hands. I blinked and nodded "So you want ta stay?" She nodded well her friends looked at me in surprise. "What?" The blondle one answered "You can understand her?" I giggled "Of course! In fact we have a mute that I'm teaching sign language around here." They smiled and glomped me. "Ah Aokojii can you get them off?" He snickered and pulled them off one by one.
As the last one was off of me I whistled a shrill pitch making a group of people join us around the 4. "The voting is to began right now!" Everyone not us and strangers left the clearing leaving us to stand in the center. "As the 2nd co-captain of the Laughing Pirates I call to session the voting of Azri!" I raised my hand and Luffy fallowed with Ace and Sabo. "The voting of Azri is full, welcome to the family. Now for the voting of Mina!" I held my hand up well only Sabo and Luffy joined in. "The voting of Mina is complete 3/4, welcome to the family. The voting of Injii!" Only me and Luffy. Humphing I played Rock, Wave, Boat against Sabo winning "The vote goes to Mina, welcome to the family. An Yer Aokojii!" I was the only one to have my hand up. Ace started to pull his baton out I wasn't having that "I call First Mate! By Family Rules I can pick my first mate even against the will of the other captains! I chose Aokojii." Ace froze and caught on fire again. Sabo backed away with Luffy guiding the 4 away from the clearing as soon as they were out Ace attacked.
I ducked and punched him cursing as my hand went through him flipping back I released Jo a dodged the flaming baton. As the first traces of green smoke came off of me I pulled a card out and swipped at his torso cutting a long line from his front to back. Flicking the card back into my sleeve I jumped over his head and kicked his back knocking him to the ground where he rolled into a crouch. Growling I barred my teeth at him and charged sliding at the last minute to get behind him pouncing onto his back I latched my teeth onto the back of his neck. He froze knowing I wouldn't hesitant to bite down and rip his throat open "I concede." I let go and rolled away with a bloody smile I laughed and nodded to Ace showing him it was a good fight. He limped out of the clearing to go get medical help well I wiped the blood away and looked at everyone waiting around the edge of the clearing. "Aokojii is my First Mate and I want everyone to treat him as such. Jamma! Take him to your bunks and drop the girls off with Sann, Fass is still in the medbay from his in counter with the Tiger Lord." Jamma nodded and led them off. Sighing I went to the main house before flopping in bed asleep.

I cursed as Jamma woke me up "What!" He jumped back "Its that day!" I shot up with a smile and scrambled out of bed. "Come on we have to get ready!" Jamma chuckled well I rifled through my clothes with excitement. Pulling out a dark blue cloak I grabbed a pair of jeans and a white t shirt setting them out for later. Twisting around I picked Jamma up and jumped out thew window howling out in happiness about the day. You see it was the Birthday since we have so many people on the crew we just put all of the B-Days together. Dropping Jamma off on one of the rare platforms I swung down to my personal storage shed and pulled all of the gifts out. Carrying them all down to the big boulder I dropped them off and hurried back to my room to get dressed for the occasion. Ace came in just as I clipped the cloak closed "I hope Azri like the gift I got her." I snickered "When are you going to ask her out?" He blushed and looked to the side "When Sabo asks Mina out and Injii sees Luffys attraction." I laughed. Pulling out a chest from under my bed I lifted it and went back outside with a smile and happiness radiating off of me.
The entire crew was out sitting here and there waiting for us to come out, sitting the chest down I laughed and picked the first gift up. "Number 12!" A cook got up and took the gift this went on until all of the gifts were given and only the 4 captain chests were left. Jamma, Jullie, Quinnzy, Sweeney, Azri, Aokojii, Mina, and Injii came and sat down close to us waiting. Sabo opened his chest and handed a gift to Sweeney and Mina, I watched as they opened the gifts. Sweeney smiled at his new set of throwing knives well Mina blushed at the powder blue dress that looked like what Alice had worn. Smiling I took my gift well Ace and Luffy took theirs well they tore into the paper I peeled it away carefully giggling as I held the pocket watch up. Ace clicked his 2 spoons together well Luffy played with his bell necklace Sabo scratched the back of his head "Sorry my powers acted up." I snickered.
Ace popped open his chest and tossed a gift to Quinnzy well handing Azri's over gently I bit my lip well Quinnzy glared at the rainbow scarf and Azri put on the fire designed bracelet. Taking Aces gift I waited until Sabo and Luffy had opened theirs. Sabo raised a eyebrow well looking at the pincushion ring Luffy giggled well tying the new ribbon onto his hat. Laughing I opened mine only to choke at the note "Because." I moved the tissue paper only to grin at the gift. Taking the neon green hat out of the package I giggled well playing with the ears sown to the top slipping it on I nodded. Luffy grinned and pried open his chest before passing out all of the gifts at the same time.
Jullie sighed as she picked up the weights well Sabo snickered at the orange hair dye in inside off his own package. Ace pulled the red beaded necklace out and glared at Luffy before putting it on I snickered well Injii opened her gift. She blinked and pulled a gold mess out of the wrapping paper I tilted my head and poked it only to snap my hand back as it wiggled and let loose a squeak. I looked at Luffy deadpan "You got her a cat." He shook his head "I got her a lion cub!" I blinked and nodded before opening my gift. It was a blob of white and black pokadots from what I could tell until it moved "Luffy?" He snickered "Its a hyena pup!" I grinned. Setting the pup on my lap I opened my chest and tossed Jamma his gift first he grimaced at the pink paper.
I watched as he opened the gift and froze a bright smile lighting his face I chuckled as he pulled the black catsuit out. With a nod I passed Luffy his gift once the confetti of paper was gone he pulled the Heart shaped pendant out I pointed to his hat. Handing Ace and Sabo their gifts at the same time I smirked well they blushed solid red. Sabo held up the copy of Alice in Wonderland well Ace held up the fireproof suit with wings on the back. Ace sighed and pouted well Sabo read the inside of the book I pulled the last present out and handed it over to Aokojii. I watched as he pulled it out and looked at it I chewed on my lip waiting "What is it?" I giggled well he spun it around "Its ah sample of my latest success I call it Frost Flash 3 or FF-3. If you ever get in trouble just use it, it will freeze everything in a 5 mile radius for 3 minutes well unless their made of fire, magma, or ice." He nodded and clipped the necklace on. With a smile I stood only to be dragged down by Jamma "We haven't given you your presents!" I blinked and had a gift shoved into my hands.
I looked at Ace, Sabo, and Luffy only to see the same thing shrugging I opened the gift to see a case of glass orbs. Smiling I looked at the others Ace was holding a pair of goggles well Sabo had a teacup charm Luffy held a baseball bat. I groaned just as second gift was passed to me by Aokojii opening it I blinked then blushed then laughed. I pulled the sleeping mask out and looked at Aokojii "Are ya tellin me something?" He nodded. "You fall asleep so often I figured that you needed something to block the sun out." I snickered and stuck the mask to sit just under my hats brim and above my eyes. He shook his head and mumbled something "What was that?" He chuckled "You look amusing." Shaking my head I turned to the 3 stooges that were my brothers. Ace and Sabo held up the same gift just in different colors Ace had a red armband with the Laughing Pirates symbol well Sabo had a blue one. Luffy giggled well slipping the orange vest on over the dark purple long sleeve shirt he wore I snickered.
Standing up I held the pup to my chest and saluted Aokojii "Have luck! By the by Bud will be added into the training program." Jamma whimpered well Aokojii sighed already feeling the ghost bites.

I ducked under Bud he leapt at me only to knock Jamma over from where he had been trying to get a hit on Aokojii. I shot my hand out and grabbed Bud before he got away "Hold Still! You need the bath!" At that moment Jamma turned the hose onto us and drenched me and the pup. Sitting down I held Bud in a headlock well Jamma continued to spray us with the hose after a few minutes he stopped. Catching the soap that Jamma had tossed I squirted half the bottle onto him and scrubbed before closing my eyes just as Jamma hit us with the hose again. Spitting out the soapy water I held onto Bud and waited until a towel was tossed over us whipping it around I tied Bud up inside. I fell back and groaned as every cut, bite, and bruise ached in sync "That's now a job for tha brats." Jamma groaned and fell next to me well Aokojii dried Bud off. Rolling over I wrestled Buds collar on and falling back over "Hey uh Elwood? I thought that you would like some info on MF. What ya say?" I raised my head and blinked well a smile crept onto my face.
Jumping up I tackled him and smiled "I could kiss ya!" He blushed well Jamma covered his eyes and a collum of flames shot up somewhere to the South. I blinked confused as I was held up by Sabo well Ace tried to kill Aokojii Luffy was holding Jamma and Bud away from the flames. "Ummm, what's goin on?" Sabo held me tight well glaring at the fleeing Aokojii "Rule of Family 9." I frowned. Then it hit me "He's not uh perv! I said I 'could' kiss! Plus he has info on MF! Think of the possibilities!" Sabo didn't stop glaring at Aokojii. Wiggling out of the cloak I shot across the ground and bowled Aokojii over just before Ace sent a firey fist at us. I curled up on his chest and glared at Ace "Get yer firey ass away." He backed up well I stayed as Aokojii's human shield. After a few minutes of the stalemate Ace sighed and deflated well I held onto Aokojii's shoulders well I told him to get up.
Once he was up I dropped down and placed my hands on my hips and glared at Ace and Sabo well standing straight in my full 5'2 glory. "Don't try an kill my firstmate again!" They nodded and sulked off back to the main house. Giggling I straightened myshirt and spun around grinning "Now then you where going to tell me about MF!" Aokojii just laughed well Jamma mumbled something and left.
