Hot Shot's girl: Yeah sorry I didn't get this chp up sooner . . . I've been depressed ever since Ace . . . kicked the bucked! TT TT Well you know what he's still alive in my story so there! D,X Yeah, anyways I hope you guys enjoy, I had fun writing this chp :D Tell me what you think ;D
"WHAT?!!!" gasped Garp grasping his face.
"Do you mind repeating that?" asked Sengoku wondering if he had heard right.
"Luffy—is—pregnant," said Vegapunk placing his hands on his hips.
"AAAHHHH!!!!" screamed Garp about ready to faint. "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!?!!"
"It's pretty obvious how it happened Garp," Sengoku said with a sigh.
"HEY!!" warned Garp holding up a fist to him. "Are you calling her a wh—?!"
"Now, now, gentlemen could you try calming down about this?" asked Vegapunk not too fond of all the shouting.
"Is it Roronoa's again?" asked Sengoku.
"I don't know," said Vegapunk. "I'll need some of his blood."
"Here," said Sengoku handing Kichiro over to the man.
"Yes, he should do nicely," said the doctor with a smile.
"Hey now, don't you go cutting up my great grandson!" said Garp looking quite concerned that he was in the arms of, what he thought, a madman.
"He'll be fine," assured Vegapunk looking at the Marine. "Since he is your great grandson I shall take good care of him."
At that the man left with the child. Garp still ever concerned. The look plain on his face.
"Will you stop worrying for once Garp," said Sengoku looking outside his window. "You need to have faith in your own men."
"I do," said Garp. "But it's like you said—he's the child of two high class criminals—I don't know if others will still treat him as one or not!"
"Wouldn't you know it there are two," said Sengoku with a sigh. "What is wrong with your family?"
"NOTHING'S WRONG WITH US!!" protested Garp. "It's just other people like knocking my granddaughter up—must be 'cause she's that good looking. I'm not surprised; after all she gets it from me."
"Sure Garp," Sengoku said with an eye twitch.
"Just as I promised," said Vegapunk handing the child over to his great grandfather. "He was well taken care of."
"Uh-huh," groaned Garp seeing the small band aid on his little wrist.
"Well I needed to draw a tiny bit of blood out somewhere you know!" said Vegapunk.
"Well?" asked Sengoku tapping his foot with crossed arms wishing Vegapunk would get on with it.
"Oh," the doctor said coming over to the sedated Straw Hat and taking up his notes. "Well by the blood works and DNA tests they seem to point to Roronoa being the father again."
"Hhh, Luffy what were you thinking?!" asked Garp with a sigh looking at his sleeping granddaughter who lay peacefully on the examination table.
"It appears the two were lovers after all," said Vegapunk checking on Luffy's stats to make sure everything was in order.
"Seems that way," Sengoku said with a grumbling, hating the fact that those two children were bred from such monsters.
"Wait a minute," said Garp noticing something off about Luffy. "She doesn't look pregnant. DID YOU REMOVE THE CHILD?!?!!!"
"What?" said Vegapunk turning to the fuming man. "No, no, I didn't touch it. The child is still there."
"So then it's too early for it to show," said Garp looking at her completely flat belly.
"Actually no," said Vegapunk looking at a sonogram picture. "The child's actually pretty far along."
"How far?" asked Sengoku.
"Far enough for it to be taken out," said Vegapunk with a smile. "If that is what you want."
"I want it out immediately," said Sengoku making Garp's jaw drop to the floor.
"W-Wait just a minute Sengoku!" protested Garp. "You can't kill it!"
"Who said anything about killing it?" said Sengoku turning to the mortified man. "By the looks of it even Luffy didn't know, so I want that child out before she can realize she was pregnant."
"B-But why?" asked Garp scurrying after the man. "That baby will need nutrients passed down by the mother and stuff you know!"
"Vegapunk has the tools necessary to care for the child prematurely," said Sengoku walking back to the office with Garp following.
Da-- it! Garp inwardly cursed. Sengoku's just trying to continue on with her execution!
"What's wrong Garp?" asked Sengoku turning to the man noticing his displeased look. "Does this displease you?"
"Like he-- it does!" said Garp not afraid to speak his mind. "You still want to go on with Luffy's execution!!"
"Of course," Sengoku said with a smirk. "We need hi—her dead as soon as possible."
"How cruel," said Garp shaking his head as he looked down at his great grandchild in his arms. "Denying not only one, but two children their mother."
"Luffy should have thought about that when she slept with Roronoa," said Sengoku going over to the desk's chair and sitting down. "Now if you don't mind I have to make some calls sending out invitations to Straw Hat Luffy's execution that I'm sure a few will want to see."
"Aye, aye, sir," said Garp with a bow as he left clenching his teeth so hard together he swore he could hear cracking.
"WHAT?!?!!" gasped everyone.
"Luffy's been captured?!" asked Marco looking at Ace with wide eyes.
"Yeah," said Ace glancing downward. "Now do you see the seriousness of this situation?!"
"I had heard about that," said Whitebeard touching his chin. "I didn't think it could be true though—apparently I was wrong."
"What's the matter with you Ace?!" a few others shouted. "Couldn't you protect him?!"
"I'm sorry alright?!" shouted Ace clenching his fists. "I would have—but—but we need to save him no matter what! He did the same for me!"
"Aye, and I am thankful for him because of so," said Whitebeard with a nod. "But I had heard another thing about his capture."
All turned and looked at the large man wondering what it was. His eyes ever kept on the fire fist as he let a pause hang in the air.
"I heard something about a child . . ." he started making everyone gasp and whisper to one another. "Is it true he has a child?"
Ace bit his lip and glanced down. He had never intended to tell them about Kichiro, but he had no choice—a family shouldn't keep secrets.
"Yeah," Ace mumbled out.
"What?!" everyone gasped looking to one another and then towards Ace. "Ace has a nephew?!"
"Yeah alright!" Ace shouted. "Another reason why he needs to be saved—my god Impel Down is no place for kids . . . Luffy's already a kid himself, but Kichiro . . . my god he was just introduced to this world!!"
"Kichiro is it?" said Whitebeard acknowledging the name.
"Yeah, that's right," said Ace looking at him. "His name's Roronoa D. Kichiro and he needs our help along with Luffy!"
"So he is the Pirate Hunter's too," said Whitebeard with a nod. "Well then he should be a strong enough child to hold out until we get there."
"You mean you'll help?!" asked Ace with wide eyes.
"Oh course!" said Marco with a smile. "We need to repay our debt to him anyways."
"Marco's right," said Whitebeard standing up from where he sat. "This'll give us a chance to get even."
Ace couldn't help but smile at everyone's willingness. He bowed and said—
"Thanks pops, thanks so much!"
"It's expected," said Whitebeard. "It's the only thing we can do."
"Alright then I'm off," said Ace with a smile jumping off the side of the ship.
"Where are you going Ace?!" asked Marco leaning over the railing and watching as Ace sped off.
"I need to ask a few others for assistance!" he shouted back. "Then I'll meet you guys at Impel Down with the Straw Hats!"
"Heh, he's getting an army," Marco said with a smirk.
"We'll need it," said Whitebeard. "I'm sure they've tripled their security since their last defeat."
"I'll bet they have," said Marco with a sigh knowing it was going to be another he-- of a fight.
"Oh no!" gasped Shanks reading the article in the newspaper. "They've got Luffy!!"
"Who boss?" asked Yasopp as he and the others came up to their Captain.
"The Marines!" said Shanks making everyone gasp.
"No!" gasped Yasopp. "What'll we do?! They'll kill her!"
"I know that!" said Shanks rereading every line making sure he got every detail about the capture. "Da-- it! I think Kichiro was with him!"
"How can you tell?" asked Lucky Roo leaning down over his shoulder to read the article as well.
"It says here he was carrying something with him," said Shanks. "No one knows what it was, but I'll bet my left arm it was Kichiro!"
There he goes again . . . betting something he doesn't have, Ben thought with a sigh and roll of his eyes.
"If it was then that pretty much means they're bringing that kid to hell!" said Rockstar.
"Da-- it!" Shanks cursed again, jumping to his feet and pacing around frantically.
"What are we going to do then Captain?" asked Ben looking at the man.
"We have to do something!" said Shanks holding out his fist. "This is Luffy we're talking about here—not only him, but Kichiro—my godson! He-- what kind of a godfather would I be if I didn't do something?"
"Then I take it we set sail?" asked Ben with a smirk.
"Da-- right we do!" pointed Shanks. "And I'm pretty sure we don't need to vote on this. Right men?"
"RIGHT!!" they all shouted pounding their fists into the air.
"Then let's set sail to Impel Down!" exclaimed Shanks raising his fist.
"AAAHHHH! WAAAHHHH!!!" Kichiro cried no matter how much Garp rocked him.
"Sorry little one," said Garp with a sad sigh as he placed a bottle up to his mouth. "Your mother can't be here right now. I know it's as good as her milk, but it'll have to do for now."
Kichiro made no complaints. He placed his hands on the bottle and closed his eyes enjoying his meal. Garp let out another sigh wondering if it would be this easy to make him forget his mother . . . well it was for Luffy to forget her father . . . Hhh, what was he going to do?
Garp didn't like how Sengoku was handling things. No matter if it was for justice he didn't like it. Forcing Kichiro to do something he might not want to, and then the thing with Luffy. He was going to remove that child just so they could carry on with the execution! How could he?! Doesn't he know children need their mother for a time being as well?! No matter if Vegapunk has the 'tools' to nourish the child it still doesn't beat the care and love of a mother.
"Oh Luffy," Garp sighed out as he bowed his head. "What have you done?"
First off by getting pregnant and deciding to keep it onboard a pirate ship, and then getting pregnant again and not knowing!! How careless could she be?!
Hhh, I don't want to be here when the others get here, Garp thought knowing the invitees should be arriving shortly—if they'd come. I'd rather take him somewhere safe for the time being.
With that thought in mind Garp got up and headed to where Sengoku was talking with the Warden. Garp came up to him in silence and waited until he was finished talking before being noticed.
"Garp?" said Sengoku noticing his strangely quiet atmosphere. "What is it that you want now?"
"To leave," said Garp.
"Leave, why?" asked Sengoku raising a brow. "The others will be here soon, and Dr. Vegapunk is just about ready to extract that child."
"I know," said Garp with a nod. "But I want to drop Kichiro off somewhere."
"Will you be returning?" asked Sengoku.
"Yes, I will," said Garp with a nod. "I'll be here in time for Luffy's execution."
"Good," said Sengoku. "I wouldn't want you to miss that. Hurry back then."
Garp gave out a sigh and then turned and headed off, back to his ship. He wished he could stay, deep down inside, but he knew he couldn't. He had to leave while he still kept his sanity about the whole thing. No grandparent should have to go through something like this.
Garp only closed his eyes and headed straight for the exit. He had to get out of there fast—not only for his sake, but for his great grandson's as well. Just when he was about to head towards the door though—he had ran into someone.
"Uh! Next time open your eyes so you don't run into people," came the person's voice.
"Oh, my apologies," said Garp opening his eyes to see a strange lot. "Wait a minute—you guys were invited?!!"
"Why of course," the man he had ran into said with a feline grin. "We wouldn't miss the execution of Straw Hat Luffy for the world."
"Though we must say we were a little disappointed that the whole crew wasn't to be executed as well," came another up beside him.
"CP9 huh," said Garp with a chuckle. "Oh I'm sure you'll all enjoy this seeing how the Straw Hats made fools out of you all."
Lucci's grin vanished in an instant. Everyone seemed not to like that remark from Garp, but Garp wasn't afraid of them. After all they were only a bunch of kids compared him. Lucci then looked down and noticed the strange being in Garp's arms.
"That right there," Lucci motioned with a nod. "Is that the child of Straw Hat?"
"Oh—uh, yeah," said Garp not knowing how they knew. "How did you know?"
"Sengoku told us," said Lucci.
"He looks quite healthy," said Kaku seeing the resemblance of his father in him.
"He looks delectable," said Jyabura licking his lips.
"You try it wolf man and I'll make sure all your canines come out!" said Garp holding up a threatening fist.
"We don't want any trouble here," said Kaku butting in. "We were just on our way, as we see so were you."
"Yes I was," said Garp with a nod noticing Lucci's strange stare at the child that seemed to last a little too long for his liking.
Garp eyed the leopard knowing nothing good could come out of him and if he even thought about touching Kichiro he had another thing coming to him! Cats, to Garp, were always too untrustworthy.
"Will the child be as strong as his parents?" asked Lucci ever keeping his eyes on the child like some predator would its prey.
"It's to be expected with parents as strong as his," said Garp tightening his grip on the child as precaution.
Lucci didn't say anything else, just continued staring at the child. Garp was so uneasy about it he was thinking about just punching the guy and running for it. The atmosphere wasn't towards his best liking.
"Lucci let's go," said Kaku as everyone walked past Garp except for the black-haired man. "Sengoku is waiting for us."
Lucci just nodded signaling he'd be along. Again he continued to stare at the child without a word. Garp had had enough of this delay and so grumbled to himself and asked—
"Can I help you with anything Rob?"
Lucci only gave him a cold stare before walking around Garp and past him with only a few words.
"Straw Hat Luffy breeds well wouldn't you say—Vice Admiral?"
Garp grumbled to himself again wondering what was up with that guy. He couldn't think of a stranger person on the face of the earth. Oh well, best he was out of the way anyways. So Garp turned and readied to head outside when he was stopped by yet another obstacle.
"Mihawk . . . Kuma," Garp sighed out slumping his shoulders wondering why everyone had decided to pick times to come in one after another.
"Admiral Garp," said Mihawk coming up to him, Kuma beside him. "Preparing to leave?"
"Yes, I am actually," said Garp with a nod. "But it's strange how I keep running into people . . . or they keep running into me," The last part he mumbled to himself.
Mihawk's eyes then came to the child in his arms and a grin appeared on his face.
"That's Luffy's I presume," he said looking at the babe who just curiously stared at the new faces.
"And that Roronoa's," Garp grumbled.
"Yes, I can see that," said Mihawk with a grin seeing the striking resemblance. "He's going to grow up to be quite a warrior—I can't wait to see that."
"Yeah, yeah," said Garp with a sigh. "Now if you don't mind I'll be going now."
Garp darted past the two and managed to make it outside, but yet again ran into another person—or two.
"Oh my!" gasped a woman. "It's true."
Garp turned with a sigh and saw Boa Hancock and Donquixote Donflamingo. Once again he was grumbling to himself.
"Is that—?" started Hancock pointing to the being in his arms.
"Yes alright," said Garp wishing he could just make it to his ship in peace. "This is Luffy's child alright!"
"Oh I didn't hear that!" Hancock said covering her ears and sticking her face in the air.
"Fuffuffuffu, how funny, how funny indeed," Donflamingo laughed seeing it.
"Yeah, yeah, you've seen him, I'm leaving," grumbled Garp stomping over to where his ship awaited.
"A boy huh," said Donflamingo with that crazy smile of his. "Is there any change him turning out like his parents? Fuffuffu."
"Who can really say," said Garp coming onboard his ship.
"Vice Admiral Garp sir, you're back!" Coby and Helmeppo saluted.
"Yeah, hurry up and set sail," said Garp with a sigh as he headed towards his corridors. "I need a break from this place."
"Yes sir!" they said running off.
Fuffuffuffuffu!" Donflamingo laughed just at the mere sight. "I've never seen him as a girl before! It's totally different!"
"Hmph, serves him right," Gecko Moria crossing his arms and looking away.
"Oh you poor dear," Hancock said touching the side of her face. "What monster would do such a thing?!"
"Why do you care?" asked Donflamingo.
"That's none of your business!" she spat casting her face upwards.
"So did you call us all here just to see Luffy as a girl?" asked Admiral Kizaru.
"Oh no," said Sengoku. "I wanted you all to see his—her execution."
"Are you going to kill him by needle?" asked Admiral Aokiji.
"No, before we need to remove something," said Sengoku.
"Like what?!" gasped Hancock afraid for Luffy.
"A child," said Dr. Vegapunk coming in with his tools. "So if you don't mind leaving the room—or if you want to watch, be my guest."
"I will stand next to him, I mean her!" volunteered Hancock coming right next to Luffy and holding her limp hand.
"Oh I'm not missin' this," said Donflamingo with a grin as he found and took a seat to watch.
"Well it looks like everyone wants to watch," said Sengoku. "Fine, is that alright with you doctor?"
"Whatever," said Vegapunk. "Just warning you . . . it can get a bit messy."
And so the procedure began. Dr. Vegapunk immediately began the c-section in Luffy to extract the child. Poor Hancock nearly fainted seeing all this, but she remained strong and continued to hold onto Luffy's hand for no reason really.
All watched with equal attention as Vegapunk pulled out a screaming child. It was pretty much then when Hancock fainted—no one could tell if it was because of the sight of the bloody newborn, or just the fact that Luffy had just had a child . . . and it wasn't hers.
"Heh, would you look at that," said Donflamingo with a grin. "For being a preemie that kid sure is a fighter."
Lucci looked at the smaller than normal child. He heard how loud it scream signaling it had fairly developed lungs, and he saw how much it flailed its arms and legs around signaling the child was stronger than it seemed and would keep on fighting to live. It was as expected from the child of Straw Hat Luffy though—this Lucci knew.
"Ah," said Vegapunk cutting off the umbilical cord. "It's another boy."
"Roronoa's I presume?" asked Mihawk wondering about it this time seeing how the bade didn't as much resemble him.
"Yes, how could you tell?" asked Vegapunk giving the child to a nurse to clean up.
"Just a hunch," said Mihawk with a smirk and roll of his shoulders.
"Ooohhh," groaned Hancock getting back up from where she had collapsed on the floor, but still managed to keep a hold on Luffy's hand, strangely. "What did I miss?"
"Congratulations Boa, it's a boy!" Donflamingo said sticking out his tongue holding up two peace signs.
"What, I had a son?!" gasped Hancock turning red.
"No you dumba-- Luffy did!" said Donflamingo dropping his arms back to his sides.
"O-Oh, right," said Hancock looking back down at Luffy to find to her surprise that her eyes were slightly open and staring at the child. "L-luffy? Are you awake?"
"What?!" said Sengoku turning to her wanting her to stay unaware of everything.
"She can't be!" said Vegapunk turning to see it was partially true. "I gave her enough sedatives to knock out a giraffe!"
"Hey," warned Kaku.
"Eh, sorry," said Vegapunk with a bow.
All looked at Luffy who looked half conscious . . . in a way she was. Sengoku growled to himself seeing her staring at the still crying babe that was now getting wrapped up in a blue blanket. He did NOT want her to even know about the second child.
"Doctor hurry up and knock him out!" ordered Sengoku.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," said Vegapunk talking a syringe and filling it with a sedative to give to the rubber woman. "Here you go Straw Hat, go back to sleep so I can stitch you up."
All watched as Luffy slowly fell back unconscious. Boa only squeezing her hand more hoping she was safe and well.
"Do you think she noticed?" asked Kaku.
"I doubt it," said Vegapunk preparing to stitch her back up. "She was half conscious, probably couldn't tell who was who in all the commotion."
"Well that was fun," said Donflamingo getting up. "What's next?"
"The execution I hope!" said Moria crossing his arms.
Sengoku didn't say a word this time though. He only stared at the new born still crying. He saw it was a fairly strong child for it being born so early and knew it was going to be strong just like his parents and brother.
"Heh, this one looks more like Straw Hat," Donflamingo giggled coming up next to it and wiggling his index finger at it making it slowly quiet its cries.
"Don't come near him!" snapped Sengoku.
"Okay, sheesh, what's gotten into you?" asked Donflamingo backing up.
"You see him as a potential Marine warrior, don't you?" asked Mihawk knowing just what he was thinking.
"Trying to make up for his parents' sins I see," sneered Moria looking at the child in disgust. "I say kill him with his—mother."
Sengoku glanced back at Luffy who was now being patched up by Vegapunk and then looked at all his guests. One last glance at Luffy before he closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead wondering if this was a bad idea . . . keeping Luffy alive.
"I want to see all of you in the next room, except the women," he said walking off.
"Ugh, that's sexual harassment," said Califa crossing her arms.
"I don't mind," said Hancock rubbing Luffy's hand on the side of her face and just swaying over her.
"Fuffuffuffuffu!" Donflamingo laughed. "Now there's a crazy idea, but I like crazy!"
"So you're not killing him?" asked Mihawk looking at Sengoku who still looked somewhat still in thought himself.
"It's against my better judgment to just be rid of him, but I've decided to change his sentence," said Sengoku.
"You're going to make him serve the World Government I see," said Mihawk crossing his arms. "How so?"
"I figure he is too far gone to even try to turn into a soldier, but . . ." started Sengoku.
"He's given you two fine Marine soldiers!" finished Donflamingo.
"Uh, yes," said Sengoku wishing he could finish his own sentences. "The way I see it is he is a superb mother. That child was still some months away from being born naturally and still Dr. Vegapunk said the child was exceptionally healthy."
"As I said, he's a good breeder," said Lucci crossing his arms.
"So what, your plan is to make him have children for the Government?" asked Kaku.
"I see it as the best way she can serve us," said Sengoku with a smirk. "The Government could always use a few more good soldiers."
"And Straw Hat Luffy's just the one to bare them right?" asked Donflamingo with a giggle.
"Exactly," said Sengoku.
"Have you told Vice Admiral Garp about this?" asked Moria. "Isn't that his grandchild?"
"I'll tell him about this later," said Sengoku. "But what I'm saying right now is I need donors."
The room had gone quite then as everyone began to stare at one another. Lucci just stared straight at Sengoku though keeping only his gaze. Before anyone could say anything about this Lucci spoke up saying—
"Will our children be as strong as Roronoa's?"
"Oh I can assure you they will," said Sengoku with a nod. "With a mother like Straw Hat Luffy you can be sure they'll all be just as strong, if not stronger."
"If I agree will you give me a strong son just like the ones he just bore?" asked Lucci.
"I assure you they will be the finest warriors," Sengoku nodded.
"Then I shall be the first," said Lucci standing up.
"Good," said Sengoku with a smile knowing indeed Lucci and Luffy's child will be a magnificent breed on its own. "Anyone else?"
Yes this will be Monkey D. Luffy's new sentence . . . her death sentence has been pardoned, she is now sentenced to being a breeder for the World Government . . . how fitting for Straw Hat Luffy.
