Do you know my favourite part of October? Its also the perfect note to end our time with the Buggy pirates. I even get to embrace my 'demonic nature'.
"How do I look, Alvida?" Mitsuki asked, spinning around in her sexy devil's outfit that she had coincedentally put in with her things (AN: . ) . She had topped it off with a devil horn headband she'd had laying around, some fishnets, and shiny red lipstick that brought out her beautiful crimson hair color which she had hanging loose in natural waves.
"You look devious" Alvida chuckled
"Thanks." She gave herself one final twirl in her mirror.
God Alvida's room is so pink that it puts the inside of Strawberry Shortcakes house to shame; I'm serious its kinda hursts your eyes to stare at the walls for too long
Alvida on the other side had dressed up as a witch (AN: . ?main_page=product_info&products_id=13774) . Her skin looked paler, and she had dark makeup on. She also had stockings on, and high heeled boots. She looked totally unlike herself, but she looked good. "You look amazing Alvida. It's awesome!"
"Thank you." she smiled sweetly grabbing a broom she had obtained
Mitsuki took one last look in the mirror and gave a satisfactory grin. 'If this doesn't drive Ace up the wall then I don't know what will'
"What takes girls so long to change?" Cabaji moaned, he was dressed like a zombie with greyed skin and darkened eyes, he had just cut up some of his old clothes and had left it at that - he wasn't the most enthralled crew member at dressing up unlike someone else.
"Chill out man!" Mohji grinned striking a disco pose, mohji had utterly thrown himself into it; he had a rainbow coloured afro wig (that was so huge that it had to be fake) balanced on his head with a sparkly purple jumpsuit, bell bottoms and everything, then white platform shoes on his feet and even a pair of sun glasses - if he was only only been a skeleton you would of mistaken him for brook.
Richie was also dressed up in the same attire striking the same pose.
Cabaji groaned. "You look like a idiot"
"Shut it brainless" Mohji snapped
Cabaji grunted like a true zombie in response.
"This was still a great idea from the captain" Mohji continued
"Halloween is his favourite time of the year" Cabaji muttered
"You guys look great" Ace chuckled looking at them, leaning on the doorway. He was dressed in a 1920's gangster style costume; a white pinstrip suit with black tie, black dress shoes and a black fedora hat though you could still see his muscles rippling through the fabric. "Where's the girls though? Mits never takes long to change" Ace strode into the room looking round for her.
"Alvida can take hours though" Cabaji counter argued "So we could be in for a wait"
"What are you flashy guys talking about?" Buggy soon followed into the room; the weird thing was that he didn't look any different "Do you like my costume?" Buggy beamed
"..." the three men didn't know what to say since he looked exactly the same
"You look great" Ace smiled through it; nudging the other two who just nodded.
Buggy grinned in delight "Thank you...you don't look bad yourselves though you seem to be missing something Ace"
"oh?" Ace raised a eyebrow "Hell no!" when he saw buggy with a thick black fake mustache
"Do you think the eyeshadows too much?" Alvida asked as the two walked to the deck
"No" Mitsuki smiled "You look great" 'and I ain't going back in that room again' she thought to herself
"Really? sometimes more is less and this only comes once a year so I want to look perfect" Alvida looked at herself quickly in the glass of the port windows "But I don't want to look like a cheap hooker at the same time"
Mitsuki pretended to listen to Alvida's insecure rants, nodding and smiling all the way; she pushed open the door.
"I guess this will have to do" Alvida cut herself short as the two women saw the scene before them as Buggy was trying to pin Ace down using his devil fruit powers to try and glue a mustache to Ace...
"Whats the hell are you two doing?" Alvida snapped making the two freeze, she turned to the swords man and lion man for a explanation
"Well..." Cabaji tried to think of something that didn't make the captain sound like an idiot
At that moment Buggy used a sneak attack on Ace "VICTORY!" he exclaimed standing up
Ace was not happy to say the least.
Mitsuki walked over and leaned over "Aww you suit a mustache" that earned her a glare though she managed to laugh over it
Ace just wanted to scream and burn the place to the ground...sea...ground once they docked in a few minutes.
Mitsuki was just wanting to hug buggy (though she wouldn't) for this opportunity.
"Get. It. Off" Ace snarled
With a roll of the eyes she tugged at the thing but it stayed o his skin, no matter how hard or what technique she used it wasn't comming off "Ummm..Ace, hate to be the bearer of bad news but its not coming off"
Ace twitched "What?"
"Its not coming off" she repeated
He twitched again
Mitsuki looked over at the buggy pirates "You best get your butts out of here" she gave them clear warning which they did. "Wow they sure move fast with faced with Ace is gonna kill you look" she noted watching them surge out of the door. She turned towards her fiance, before walking round him, her finger tracing round his shoulder as she went, then spreading her whole hand and sliding it down his chest from over his shoulder. "It's kinda hot though" she teased in his ear.
He turned to stare at her "Not know"
Mitsuki sighed "Do you want to talk about it or not?"
"Just get this thing off me" He growled
"I told you it won't come off so deal with it for now" she spoke in her deadly serious voice "I'll get some stuff tonight that should react with the glue to free you so put up with it for tonight"
Ace still wasn't happy, He did this when he was a kid to get candy at Halloween (though luffy usually ate it all) but Buggy saw it as completely normal for grown adults to go 'trick or treating' and not one of his crew complained - Alvida was finding it fun to flirt with the single dads, not bothered about the candy as he had 'convinced' some crew members to collect for her. This had to be the worst day of his life. Mits wasn't around since she was looking for something to get rid of this damn glue. He couldn't even look his reflection in the glass.
Though he didn't know it, mitsuki was watching from afar - she had to say she was a little disapointed.
I love Ace. I can put up with his narcopelpsy, the teasing, the over protectiveness, the machoism - I put up with Ace as a kid as well. What I don't like is just how he finds it so hard to accept his parentage. I never liked the governor growing up, I knew he wasn't my dad and I knew that he hated me; even before he smashed me against a wall that made me leave, I obtained a good few bruises here and there from 'walking into things' or 'falling off trees'. My mother used to tell me stories before I went to bed about this brave pirate captain and a beautiful yet fierce princess, I asked if the pirate captain was my dad and my mother changed the subject so thats what I believed because I couldn't accept a cruel cold man like the governor to be my dad. When I ran away and finally met my real dad, I didn't care if he was some infamous pirate; he was the brace pirate captain my mother described to me in stories - adventurous, fun loving, loving, fatherly and just everything I had wanted since I could remember, he was everything the governor wasn't. So I never once denied who my parents were (not like I could), they sacrificed so much for me so the least I could do was make them proud; I'm proud of my hair colour now, it's part of who I am which I would never change.
I never cared if Ace was Gol D. Rogers son, I knew when we were kids and I never treated him any differently cause thats how I was raised to be with the Red hair crew. I was told stories about my dads time on the Oro Jackson and it sounded amazing. Yes the pirate king wasn't a saint but he was a good man and a good captain - there was a whole era dedicated to him - if it was me I wouldn't be ashamed, I wouldn't shout it from the rooftops but I wouldn't deny or hide away.
People call me a demon too but I embrace it. I've been called a bastard, a brat, a bitch, more names than I remember. But I don't care what people think of me and I proberly never will.
I love Ace with all my heart but he can't hide away from himself.
Mitsuki returned near the end of the night with a plastic bag in her hand.
"Sorry it took me a while to find some stores that were open and had the things I needed" she explained quickly "did you get any candy then sweetie?"
He grunted lifting a plastic bag of candy
"and I got you the solution to your facial problem" she grinned holding up her own plastic bag before kissing him lightly on the cheek "please smile, for me" she pleaded
He just turned and walked away from the group giving a wave goodbye. Looks like he wasn't in a good mood
"I guess we're leaving then" Mitsuki sighed turning back to the buggy pirates "Thanks and all but we are gonna have to part here, I already took all our stuff to a hotel so we'll be on our way"
Alvida gave pout "But then I'll be stuck with these morons again"
Mitsuki laughed as the two hugged, she then gave fist pumps to Cabaji, Mohji and even Richie.
She then turned to Buggy "Well its been nice seen ya again buggy but Chow" she turned and ran off after her fiance
"bye then brat" he muttered before realising something "HEY WHERES MY TREASURE MAP YOU PROMISED?!"
"sorry don't remember that" she didn't even look back before she disapeared in the blink of an eye; buggy swearing his head off.
"oww" Ace nearly jumped off the hotel bed
"Stay still" mitsuki instructed him as she applied the nail polish remover to his face "the Acetone in the nail polish should dissolve the glue"
"Good to know" he mutter sarcastically
She stopped to look at him "Don't give me that or I won't take it off and you'll be stuck with it"
Ace sighed "I'm sorry but you know why I'm in such a bad mood"
"Of course I do" Mitsuki started gently applying the nail polish remover again "Now stay still"
Ace obeyed since she was using that tone "You seem upset too"
"just disapoint" she replied bluntly
"Of me?"
"No" she sighed "I don't know why. Do you remember that halloween that we decided to scare Luffy by convincing him that there was ghosts in the forrest and we dressed up like ghosts, I've never seen Luffy wet his pants and run at the same time before"
"Well you did get Yassop, Roo and your dad to play along as well" Ace pointed out flatly
"It was worth being hung upside down by the mast" she smiled "I can say Benn wasn't happy"
"I can guess that"
"Just a sec" she carefully pealed the fake mustache away from his upper lip "And wal la. Done" she smiled in triumph handing him the mustache
"Why did you give it to me?" he asked not even looking at it
She shrugged "Why would I?" with that she got up and headed for the bathroom
Ace took a deep breath looking at the thick black mustache in his hand yet after a few seconds he threw it against the wall in fustration. He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts "You aren't changing out of the costume are you"
Mitsuki's head appeared from out the door "Why?"
He smirked "You know why"
She grinned having her Ace back, she stepped out of the bathroom swaying her hips as she stalked over to her fiance; she crawled onto the bed and straddled onto his lap "Great to have you back Ace, now welcome to hell" she gave her devilous smile before pulling him to a passionate kiss.
And that is the end of the trip with the Buggy pirates, who will they meet next? hmmmm...
Please keep commenting and leaving your thoughts - the assassin stuff will be adressessed a little later in the story in a bit more depth and so will the mysterious man trying to contact them but thats all I'm gonna say.
