Hello! Guess what? We've reached thirty story alerts! Great, right?! Anyway, like I said, I will consider doing the Punk Hazard Arc, but I WON'T do Dressrosa (just because I would have to read over the chapters and do all the writing while looking it over and how I'm going to have to find ways of putting Chas into it…it's hard enough with PH). There are a couple of concerns I have if I do that arc: One being I would have to add another character to this already large list of characters; and two, I wouldn't know where to end it so I can get back onto the main plot of this fanfic and without having to do Dressrosa. Actually, the second I can do, but it's the first one that's my concern.
Anyway, I'm still considering it and I'm currently writing those chapters out now so I don't have to do it later (if I do the Arc which will most likely happen)
This chapter is short, and I apologize for that. It's also very pointless… Enjoy anyway!
"Kaki Kaki no Pistol!"
Nothing happened, absolutely nothing. No matter how hard Zoro tried, he couldn't use Chas's Kaki Kaki no Mi, which aggravated him beyond explanation. If he wasn't able to use it, then he'd feel useless when battle came, not that he didn't feel that way now.
"I told ya," Chas said, crossing her legs with a sigh. "Yer not imagin' the change or anythin'." Chas scratched her head. "At this rate ya won't be able to do anythin'."
"Says the girl who can't even hold a sword properly," Zoro said, collapsing into the seat next to Chas. With Chas's body being so weak, he gets tired more easily and can't do much of his intensive. He even had body aches that he hadn't felt in a long time.
"It's not my fault that I was never raised to be a swordsman!" Chas snarled at him.
Zoro took a deep breath, leaning back on in the bench and resting his arms on the backs of it. "I've been wondering… How did you learn how to use your Kaki Kaki no Mi?"
Chas turned her head to look at Zoro. He was looking right at her, head tilted to the side in curiosity.
"When I was younger," Chas began, leaning forward, resting her elbows on her knees, "Ojiki took me to an island. He told me it was vacation, but I later found out he was workin'. Point is, I got lost. I was hungry, thirsty, and when I found the first thin' that looked edible I didn't hesitate... When Ojiki found the next day, my arm had changed into a large gun." Chas laughed. "When I look back on it now, it's rather funny the way we over reacted and panicked for no reason." Chas looked back to Zoro with a smile. "It took me two years to fully control it."
"Two years?" Zoro questioned.
Chas nodded. "But you've gotten farther then I had in one year." Chas laughed to show she wasn't depressed or anything. But even with the laugh, Zoro still knew she wasn't comfortable admitting that.
Zoro sighed and stood to his feet, holding out his hand towards Chas. "All right, back to work."
Chas raised an eyebrow at Zoro. "What are we doin'?"
"Sparing," Zoro answered.
"Oi, Luffy!" Sanji shouted, walking out onto deck. Luffy looked up from his game of cards with Usopp and over to Sanji. "Lunch is ready!"
"Really?" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper shouted, quickly getting up and running towards the kitchen.
"About time," Franky said, stretching as he walked after the three.
Nami smiled and began walking into the kitchen with Robin, until she remember the two that were missing. She turned around and looked to Brook who was still making his way over. "Brook? Do you think you can tell Chas and Zoro?" Nami pointed towards the gym above.
"Of course," Brook said with a smile.
Brook climbed up the rope ladder and then climbed the ladder towards the hatch. He opened the hatch and peaked into the room only to see a rather amusing picture in front of him.
Chas's body had Zoro's body pined to the ground, hands clasped over the male's wrist, pinning them to the ground, and the female straddling the male. What made this position even more awkward for Brook to see was that the female was topless (with only a bra on) and the male didn't have a shirt either.
Chas and Zoro looked up, faces flushing red when they saw Brook looking at them rather strangely.
"Sorry for disturbing…" Brook said, ducking out of the hatch and heading down to the kitchen as quickly as possible, not hearing Zoro and Chas shouting that it was all a mistake. But even with that said, Brook had a feeling he just couldn't keep quiet about this recent discovery.
