I do not own One Piece! Just My OC who probably wants to run for the hills in this chapter
(Cackles even harder in the distance)
Is this the last part of this short one-shot prompt, I don't know man…
I should be working right now but my creative DRIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEE COMPELS ME!
Support Oda-Sensei!
"Pinkie?", I then detach myself from my dear 'Uncle' Mihawk, turning around to see one Charlotte Linin looming over us.
I look around to see if I could, I don't know, hide or run away from the situation that I have put myself in. It's then that I notice that I may have led a procession of sorts, as Hancock was behind Kata, Bru, and Cra. Everyone else in the building pretty much either got closer to where they believe the action would happen (i.e. here) or are waiting in the outer rings of the crowd due to not knowing the full extent of what is happening. I don't blame them.
"*Sigh*", I pinch the bridge of my nose, preparing my words towards the massive figure that is my bonded auntie, "Pinkie, long time, no see. I would be lying if I said that I forgive you for those last times we saw each other, but I'm willing to look past it if you don't do it again."
"MAMAMA, but Astrid, having you cook and bake for all of us is something that we love that you do. In fact, I would much rather have you stay with us permanently to have you keep making food for us.", Pinkie is laying it on thick, and I'm not liking it.
"And you already know that I would leave in a heartbeat like last-last time. Seriously," I motioned, "last-last time was hellish cause I only had 1 damn hour of sleep a week in order to accomadate the two fucking months of non-stop food and sweet baking for you, Pinkie."
"Mamama, that time was different. I was going through a horrible hunger pang.", Pinkie trails off, making a dejected face. A once in a blue moon dejected face. Don't make me feel bad, dammit.
"Astrid./ Astrid?"
I shift a bit to behold two other looming figures, both that I most certainly recognize. It has been a long while since I saw the both of them, but seeing that one glare and the other's smile just warms my heart, in a weird, weird way.
"Kaido, Edward, long time no see as well. I must say, to think that the both of you would grow taller than me was bound to happen, but to be that tall. I'm a teeny, tiny bit jealous.", I squeezed out the last part, as Edward then hoists me up to give me a bone-crushing bear hug. Literal bones were popped, saying that right now.
"ASTRID! Where have you been?! You always just come and go as you please, but to think that you would be at the annual get together party hosted by Linin? That is a surprise!," he continues to squeeze, loosening a bit as he continues, "And what do you mean 'Daddy' and 'Uncle Mihawk'? How many people do you know?", Edward then set me down, everyone pretty much staring at me and waiting for my response. I gotta say, they are all a very curious bunch. A nosy, curious bunch.
This is going to be a long, long day indeed.
"Oh dear, well then, introductions are in order then," I then clap my hands, thinking on who I'm going to start on who's who: Astrid hour.
"First person on the list,", I start, "is my dad," I gestured to my father like how Will Smith presented his wife in that one meme. What can I say, I have lost most semblance of shame some time ago with all the shit I've been through.
"Next is my (air quotes) 'Uncle' Mihawk, who is actually my biological brother, but due to reasons I call him Uncle.", I wave my hand towards him, noticing that a good amount of everyone either has their jaw-dropping or just staring at me in total surprise. I may look nothing like my father and look more like my brother, but at least I have my father's eyes and his hair texture.
"Next up is Edward, Pinkie, and Kaido. Edward, you are very much my bonded elder brother, Pinkie, bonded auntie, and Kaido, a dear friend.", each one of them looking at each other, Dad and 'Uncle' looking like they are about to either have a heart attack or is just done with the world. Whoopsie….
"All of Pinkies kiddos are my bonded siblings,", I manage to continue on, "Rocy is my bonded brother. Mingo can go eat shit, especially for what he did last time.", shooting him a glare.
"Fufufufu, you have to admit, you loved it."
"Keep telling yourself that, title of your mixtape.", I flip him the bird and I get a small smack on my hand by good ol' 'Uncle'.
"Continuing-continuing on, there is Hancock and her sisters who are also my bonded siblings. Then there is my dear Sunflower child, Luffy, who I consider very much a son. Then there is my dear Uncles Kuma, Jinbe, and Moria, alongside my very amazing cousin Perona.", If eyes could pop out of sockets, I think a good majority of people in this place would be eyeless at this point.
"Then there are the other rugrats that I have adopted, Law, Kid, Killer, Heat, and Wire, as well as Shachi, Bepo, and Penguin, who I don't see. Law, where are the rest of your bunch, and Rocy, don't you dare light that fucking cancer stick or I'll set you on fire myself.", I look at my rugrat and his designated guardian, signature glare plastered on Law's face and golden eyes trying to search my soul.
"They went to get food.", he mutters, turning his eyes away as he knows who will win in a damn glaring contest. Smart kid, like usual.
"I see other, recognizable faces here, who I consider friends, such as X Drake or Bonney. Hi by the way.", I waved towards them, with the both of them shooting glares at me when the attention shifts from me to them and back to me, and then some. I notice the other Supernovas, and they also look a bit whelmed alongside everyone else who is processing the whole truth bomb I have unleashed on the land.
Oh wow, is that who I think it is?
"Wasn't expecting marines to be here, especially you," I looked towards the greying man with that signature D smile, "Old man Garp."
The rest of the marines had made it to the front of the crowd with Garp leading the way, many who I have helped and some that I recognize as family, friends.
"BWHAHAHAHAHAHA, why are you here, runt?", it was then that I noticed that he was winding back his fist, and I really, really wanted to shuffle away, "Unfilial GRAND-DAUGHTER! TASTE THIS, FIST OF LOVE!"
If I wasn't a bit concussed before with all the man-handling done by the Newgate boys, I for sure was now. The floor cracked a bit, heard something snap (was it my skull, sure hope not), felt the presence of many people pretty much holding Garp back and someone picking me up in an effort to help me stand.
My glasses slightly cracked, my hat no longer on my head, and some people looking at me with a bit of worry or others looking at Garp with murder, never thought that I would be in a situation like this.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," I tried to assure them, wobbling a bit as 'Uncle' holds me steady, "a little bit dizzy and jostled, but I'll live."
"Lastly, since I know they are here, there is my Ol' Grandpa Garp and Sengoku."
"I'M NOT OLD!"
"KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT!", I screeched back, "alongside my dear friend Kuzan and Tsuru, my adorable bonded siblings Tashigi and Smoker, my good friend Hina, among others.", I manage to get out without slurring my words, a headache most certainly present in my skull right now. I don't even acknowledge Borsalino or that damn Sakazuki, those two have been on my shit list for days since last time.
"What about us?"
I lay my eyes on Lucci, accompanied by Kaku and the rest of CP-0. They have grown, and still hold a place in my heart. How it saddens me that I couldn't save them like how they saved me.
"It's nice to see all of y'all again," I chuckle a little, head throbbing a bit more, "all of you are also my adopted rugrats. Always have and always will be my rugrats."
Lucci smirks a bit, Kaku has a small smile, and the rest I can't really discern their faces. I either really need new glasses, or I am indeed very, very concussed.
"Now that that's settled, I have to head out.", I try to take a step only to stumble a little bit, being caught by the scruff of my jacket by my 'Uncle'.
"But you could be concussed -", started Dad, looking the most worried out of the bunch as he met my eyes.
"I'm not concussed Dad, I can't be concussed cause I have to go. You know, duty calls.", I manage to get out, once again trying and failing to walk. Damn it Garp.
"STOP HER YOI!"
Fucking Pineapple.
"SHE'S A TIME TRAVELER!"
Fuck you too, Pompadour.
"SHE CAN DO OTHER SHIT RELATED TO TIME TOO!"
You are now on my shit list Freckles.
"WE HAVE IT ALL RECORDED, WE HAVE EVIDENCE!"
I shall strangle Scarbo, my one imposing rule of not murdering anyone be damned.
The people that all know me, the strangers that have steadily gotten closer to see the action, and the people that are in the outer rings make way for the four nim-rods that are the Newgate boys.
"What do you mean, my sons?", Edward looked to each, clearly bewildered as he soon faced me.
"Edward, everyone," I am keeping myself together, even though I feel very nauseous and want to pass out right now, " all of y'all know that Time Travelers are a damn myth. A legend that has gone extinct since a long-ass time ago -"
"Yup, time traveler through and through. My mom was a time traveler, my grandma was, and her mom and her grandma as well, it's in the genes.", replayed the tiny device, amplified by the speaker, wait, where did they get a damn speaker? These little shits were not kidding when they said they had evidence.
Yup, I'm fucked.
A/N: I'll probably write more tomorrow, I really need to be productive and do some work.
Someone, please, please tell me that I am doing something, somewhat right?
Give me a sign from the heavens, a review, or just comment so I can laugh too.
Any-ways, I think the conclusion of this one-shot mini-series will be tomorrow's write more.
To think that this would be more fleshed out and finished than my main One Piece fanfiction that I'm writing, how the turn tables.
Peace out with a FIST OF LOVE,
-DH
