DISCLAIMER: Ladies and Gentleman, girls and boys!! It is now the long awaited chapter that you have been waiting for...THE BALL!!! clapping and cheering in the background As you know, One Piece does not belong to me. Or anything else in this story for that matter. Anyway, let's start! CH. 10 *Narrator's P.O.V.*
SMACK!! This was the sound that reverberated throughtout the whole dining room.
"Oops, my bad." Someone said, slightly pissed off.
SMACK... KERSPLAT!!
Uh, did I say slightly? I meant REALLY pissed off.
"Kai! I'm so sorry! Please stop." Luffy asked.
Luffy was covered in mashed potatoes and gravy from head-to-toe. Why? Well, let's just say that he pissed of his fiance REALLY badly.
"Hmm, let me think about this...NO!" Kai said angrily.
"What in the world! Luffy, Kai, what is going on here!" King Shanks yelled, looking at his food covered son, and pissed off daughter-in-law.
"Luffy." Kai simply said.
"Sighs...Not again. Luffy, this is like, what...the third time you said something stupid to piss her off?" Ace asked.
"Um, I think it was the fifth...but then again, who's counting?" Luffy said sheepishly.
"Luffy, go take ANOTHER shower and change. Then, come down here for breakfast when your ready." King Shanks said.
"Yes, father." Luffy said as he got out of his chair and went straight to his bedroom.
"How in the hell did you two ever meet and not end up killing each other? Or in your case, end up not killing Luffy?" Ace asked.
"I don't know. Chemistry?" Kai asked.
"Nevermind. I wonder how Luffy's going to react when he sees about 100 men fawning over you." Ace said.
"The same way that your going to react when you see guys fawning over Vivi?" Kai inquired.
"So, have you and Vivi found a dress yet?" King Shanks asked.
"Uh, no. Not yet. We're kinda still looking." Kai said.
"Oh. Well, be sure that you guys find one. The ball IS tonight." King Shanks said.
"I'm not gonnna like this ball." Luffy said, sitting down on his chair next to Kai.
"Yeah. Me neither. The only reason some of the princes come here is so that they can flirt with OUR women." Ace said.
"YOURS?? Since when were we objects?" Vivi asked, just coming in.
"When you agreed to marry me?" Ace asked weakly.
"I...I...AM NOT AN OBJECT THAT YOU MEN CAN FIGHT OVER!! UGH! Tonight, when the ball is over, you are...you are...you're sleeping on the FLOOR!" Vivi said, getting out of her chair and started walking away.
"I'm done. Vivi wait up!" Kai said, trying to catch up with Vivi.
"Women. You can't live with them..." Ace started.
"...You can't live without them." Luffy finished.
"Hm, how poetic of you two." King Shanks said laughing.
"Sighs...I can't wait till this ball is done." Ace said as he got up out of his chair.
"I second that." Luffy agreed.
"I third that." King Shanks said.
The two brothers looked at their dad questioningly.
"Why?" Luffy asked.
"Because I'm never gonna hear the end of it when the Queen's of every kingdom start sending me messages about how they want to be my wife, OR on how they want me to teach you boys some manners because I'm sure that you guys are gonna end up hurting somebody tonight." King Shanks replied.
The boys sheepishly scratched the back of their heads while nervously laughing. King Shanks sighs deeply and motions for them to get ready. Once the two brothers left, King Shanks sits on his throne and sighs deeply again.
"This is gonna be one long night." King Shanks mumbled to himself.
The guard next to him merely nodded his head in agreement.
-Later In the Afternoon-
"Have you found a dress yet, Vivi?" Kai asked, looking around for a dress that she would like.
"No, not yet. How about you?" Vivi asked.
"Sighs...Nothing." Kai said.
Then, something caught her eyes. She went to the corner and pulled out a black chest and opened it. Inside were a whole bunch of jewelry and diamonds and two diffrent colored silks. Kai gently pulled the two silks out and saw that they were dresses.
"Perfect." Kai whispered.
"Kai? What's that?" Vivi asked curiously.
"Our dresses." Kai said, holding the two dresses up in front of her.
"Gasps...They're wonderful!! Wow!! Good idea to look in that chest, Kai!" Vivi said admiring the dresses.
"I'll take this one, and this one is yours." Kai said, showing Vivi which one belonged to who.
Vivi nodded her head and slightly squeeled in excitement.
"Oh, I can't wait until tonight! Wait till Luffy and Ace see us." Vivi said.
Kai smirked and started to get ready.
-THE BALL-
Tonight was the night, where every kingdom from around the world went to an extravagant ball that would be hosted by another kingdom. Tonight, was this night.
"Well, don't you two look nice tonight." King Shanks said, looking at his two sons.
Luffy was wearing a white long sleeved button up collared shirt, a black silk vest over it, black slacks, and black boots over them. Ace was wearing a white long sleeved button up collar shirt, a red silk vest, khaki slacks, and black boots over the pants. King Shanks sweatdropped when he saw the swords strapped on his sons hips.
"Father!" Ace said. "You look nice tonight also. No wonder women always fawn over you." Luffy said teasingly.
King Shanks was wearing a black long sleeved button up collar shirt that was silk, a red vest over the top, and black pants with black boots over it, plus a red cloak to finish everything off.
"Heh. Guess so. Anyway, where are your "women"?" King Shanks asked, doing the quotation marks with his hands when he said "women".
"Uh, I don't know. Getting ready?" Luffy asked.
"Um, actually, they're over there." King Shanks said, grinning and pointing to where he doors were.
Luffy and Ace immediately shot their heads up to where their father was pointing. The two brothers eyes were wide in shock.
"Please tell me that I'm married to one of 'em."Ace said.
"Me too." Luffy said agreeingly.
Near the doors were two beautiful women in their early twenties. One of them had midnight black eyes and midnight black hair up in a bun held by two metal chopsticks. The other one had sky blue eyes and baby blue hair held up in the same fashion as the other girl. The one with black hair was obviously none other than Kai, while the one with blue hair was Vivi. Kai had on black eyeliner, mascara and black eyeshadow. She was wearing a tight black silk Quipao with two mid-thigh length slits on either side of the dress, thin black elbow length fingerless gloves, tight black mid-thigh length shorts underneath the dress, and black skin tight knee length combat boots.
Vivi was wearing a knee length ocean blue kimono where the top was tight and the bottom had two thigh length slits on either side of the kimono, and the bottom part looked like the bottom half of a chinese dress. Vivi had on black 3/4 length tights underneath the kimono, and navy blue knee length boots (A/N: they look just like the one that Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne wears) and thin black elbow length fingerless gloves.
"Vivi? Wow! You look amazing!" Ace said, hugging Vivi from behind.
Vivi giggles and whispers a thank you.
"I'm so happy that you agreed to marry me! I love you!" Luffy said happily, affectionately nuzzling his head on Kai's neck.
"Hahaha, me too." Kai said, softly laughing at Luffy's antics.
"My, my, my! How you ladies look like beautiful swans this evening." King Shanks said, kissing both of the back of the girls hands.
"DAD!!" Luffy and Ace said together angrily.
"Don't worry, Luffy. Your dad is a little OLD for my taste." Kai said, winking at Luffy.
This made Luffy blush, but he went back to nuzzling Kai's neck.
"Come on now, Ace! I'm married to you. Relax, I'm not leaving you anytime soon." Vivi siad.
Ace slightly smiled before gently kissing Vivi on the lips.
"AHEM!! As mushy as this is getting, you two girls need to mingle with the guests. Have fun." King Shanks said, as he watched to the two girls kiss their fiance/husband on the cheek and went to talk to the guests.
"Now what?" Ace asked.
"Let's go eat. I'm hungry." Luffy said.
"Since when are you NEVER hungry?" King Shanks asked.
Ace nodded his head in agreement. Before the two boys could head for the food, they were pulled by the collar by none other than their dad.
"Not yet. Queen Samara and her two daughters are making their way here right now." King Shanks said, shuddering in disgust when he saw the three women stop in front of them.
"SHANKS!! Oh, how you look so HANDSOME!!" Queen Samara said.
"LUFFY-KUN!! You look so cool! SEITEKI (A/N: Is this how you say sexy in Jap.?)" one of the girls said.
"Uh, thanks, Aiko." Luffy said, sweatdropping at Aiko and trying to get away.
Aiko had shoulder length light brown hair and golden yellow eyes. She was wearing a tight white thigh length dress where from the top, it starts out white, and then turns pink when it gets to the hem of the dress, and white open toe one in. heels.
"Oh, Ace! You look sexy also!" Aiko's sister said.
"Thanks, Yumi." Ace said.
Yumi had waist length blonde hair and baby pink eyes. Yumi was wearing a tight pink off-the-shoulder thigh length dress and pink open toe two in. heels.
"So, Ace, Luffy, have you guys thought about marrying my daughters yet?" Queen Samara asked.
"I'm already married and Luffy has a fiance." Ace said.
"Who? That whore, Kai? Please, she's nothing but a money grabbing bitch that doesn't know her place in society." Aiko said.
"Vivi, well, she's WAY too naive and she's SO idiotic. Plus, I think her hair is fake. I mean, who has NATURAL blue hair?" Yumi siad.
"As you know, she is my WIFE!! Plus, look at you, Yumi. You look like a certified whore who works in a corner somewhere near the market and a tavern." Ace said.
Yumi scoffed in surprise and was close to tears. "Aiko, I just hate you. YOUR the bitch. Not Kai. You know nothing about her. Plus, she's more rich than you. So, maybe YOU should shut up and learn YOUR place. This conversation is over. Goodbye." Luffy said.
King Shanks smirked before bowing and left with sons, leaving three surprised, crying women.
"Wow, Luffy! Who knew you had it in you. I mean...Luffy?" Ace asked.
Luffy stopped and growled.
"Son, what's wrong?" King Shanks asked.
"Grrr...Rox!!" Luffy said angrily.
"Uh-oh!" Ace said.
Right in front of them was a very annoyed Kai and a handsome man. The man had short brown hair and deep purple eyes. He was wearing a black silk shirt, khaki slacks, and black boots over the pants.
"HE IS SO DEAD!!" Luffy said angrily.
Dun,dun,dun,dun!!!! Oh no! Luffy might kill someone! What's gonna happen? Well, I don't know yet, but tune in next time and wait for the next chapter of "To Love or Not to Love". Please R and R and I might post another chapter quickly!! Bye-Bye!
