Yoruichi yawns in boredom as she stares at her crew mates on top of the balcony with Nami and Usopp.
She enjoyed the rare times they had together when trouble didn't arise out of the blue without the worry of the others dying. So she wasn't going to complain on how bored out of her mind she is currently.
Her amusement of Sanji's and Luffy's theories on the 'mystery chocolate woman' slightly died down because of their arguments on what to call her.
She far preferred Sanji's nickname on calling her the cocoa goddess than being called the mystery chocolate lady. Any one who knew her captain would know the last one deprived from him.
Which directed her amusement to Zoro. The derpy swordsman who couldn't picture a woman described to be a goddess could only see her as someone unattractive.
"No way a goddess would save someone like Luffy" the swordsman huffs, cleaning his sword with a cloth "She's probably just a villager or someone visiting"
Sanji with heart eyes and blood seeping from his noise shakes his head in denial "She isn't. But with a body like that we should definitely drown Luffy more often" he gushes with a giggle, heart eyes returning as the dark skinned girl returned to his mind.
Luffy pouts at the suggestion and shakes his head in disapproval "Drown yourself" he sticks his tongue out "Not being able to breath isn't fun" he pouts with his arms crossed
"You guys didn't even see her" Zoro groans "She could look like a troll for all we know"
'Thanks Zoro' Yoruichi thought sarcastically, a vein appearing on her forehead at the insult 'I'll show him what a troll I can be'
"Excuse me, but I caught a glimpse of her luscious figure underwater" The blonde sighs dreamingly "She definitely wanted me. We would have made love right then and there if it weren't for that fishman"
'What an interesting observation' Yoruichi sweat drops
"Whatever" Zoro sneezes
Sanji grimaces as he backed away from the half asleep man "You're not getting me sick" he scoffs, walking back inside to the kitchen
"Zoro!" An amused Luffy calls out from his sitting spot on the ledge near the head of the Merry "Of course you're going to get sick if you sleep in the open air. I mean, doesn't it get cold at night?"
"I've never been sick, not a day in my life" he replied to his captain, crossing his right leg over his left as he moved around his morning sleeping spot
"You know, I don't remember ever being sick either. Not once" Luffy chimed in as he tried to recall a time he may have fell ill
Zoro turns his head to the side to better comfort his head against his arms behind him "Someone must be talking about me is how the saying goes"
"Ah that's a fake" Luffy waved in dismissal "Yoru! Come down! I caught you some fish!"
Eagerly, the feline jumped down from the balcony and on top of the groaning swordsman's stomach who cursed her out for causing him pain.
Not bothered to give him any apology kisses, she made a beeline to her captain to eat the food he provided for her.
'Raw food is so good as a cat'
OoO
Elsewhere, a certain Pirate captain agreed to work with a beautiful woman whose body went from an apple to an hourglass thanks to a certain fruit she ate.
The two agreed on capturing the 17 year old captain for their own personal gain. One in spite for being defeated and the other to claim the prize money despite also facing defeat thanks to the happy child.
Buggy was more worried about his crew mates who were left captain less thanks to pieces of him going missing. Without him as a leader, he doubted they could survive for long.
An assumption that was slightly right considering his crew were drinking while cheering for whoever went in the ring to fight for the spot as the new captain.
So spotting an island on the next day brought the clown pirate's mood up as he recognised the ship docked.
"Hey! Hey!"
"What is it?" The woman asks slightly annoyed "You don't need to yell. I'm standing right here. Did you find something?" She asks, walking behind the dismantled man
"Look... right there! That's my ship! The grand Flashy Flag ship of the Buggy Pirates!" He exclaims in excitement
Upon arrival, they didn't expect to find a makeshift grave of him.
"So why'd they give you such a big grave?" She asks in amusement
"What? Big?" He repeats in anger, eyes wide and bloodshot "Are you talking about my noise?!" He accused, grabbing the front of her shirt "did you say big?! Huh?! You're dead you hear me! Fucking dead!"
"I said big grave that's all!" She says in defence, anger brewing at the man who took her words out of context
"That's all?! So I'm short?! That's it or do you want to call me stupid too?!" His anger calmed down as he finally processed what she said "Wait, you said grave?"
"Took you long enough" she frowns, watching the man drop on the ground face down.
The beauty couldn't help but slightly regret ever making an offer to capture the 30 million bounty with the clown. She just hoped at the end of it, she wouldn't fail and end up behind bars.
OoO
"Hey, I think I can see an island Luffy" Zoro informs the teen laying down on the deck as he stood up to rest his arms on the railing besides their animal friend.
"Really?! That's great!" He chuckles
He stretches his arms so to the railing to pick himself up off the floor to prop himself on the ledge criss cross next to Yoruichi who sat between the two snoozing off.
"What island is it?" He asks in curiosity, scratching her chin
"I can't believe you forgot, I just told you" Nami muses as she, Usopp and Sanji made their way to the trio.
"Huh?"
"So that's the island where Lougetown is located" Usopp grins
Sanji puts a cigarette between his lips and lights it in wonderment "I wonder if they have a marketplace" he grumbles out
"The locals have to buy food too" Nami replies
"That's true. It looks like I might have to redo the menu then. Fresh vegetables" he grins
"I hope they have a sword shop. Using three sword style with just one sword is really shit. Think it's time to remedy that" Zoro chimes in
"Oo" the long nosed teen marvel's "I can't wait to check out their equipment shops for some cool stuff"
'And I'll be visiting home while everyone's busy' Yoruichi purred as her captain kept stroking her face 'Maybe I can get a good nights rest since things are calm for now'
"That's it huh" Luffy says sombrely "That's the island where Gold Roger was born and executed, right?"
"Okay, so you did remember" Nami says, leaning over Yoruichi who rested on her forearms since Nami put her there as she rested her arms on the rail.
"Where the king of the pirates met his fate. This place is known as the city of the beginning and end"
As they made it to the deck, Usopp docks it with ease.
They all got off and began their walk off the deck and towards the entrance of the popular island.
"Whoo hoo! This is going to be so fun!" Luffy cheers in glee
Yoruichi decided to walk behind everyone so she can make a quick getaway without any of them noticing as they busied themselves with their own plans.
"Every pirate headed to the grand line stops here to re supply. It has everything you could possibly need!" Nami informs her friends
"If that's the case, then I'm gonna go on a shopping spree. I bet they have all sorts of stuff here" Usopp says in excitement as he looked around
"I'll be able to stock up on fresh produce. And fresh women" Sanji smiles at the thought of having beautiful women swarming him like some kind of celebrity.
"You'd think they'd have a sword-smith around here" Zoro says with his index and thumb on his chin
"I thought you were broke" smiles Nami at the sweating man "are you going to steal a sword?" She asks sarcastically
"Well I'm gonna find out where they kill people" Luffy nonchalantly claims "I gotta see where the King of the Pirates was executed!" He exclaims as he ran forward
"Hey wait! We have to pick a meeting place!" Usopp yells at his departing captain with his arm out in an attempt to stop him "Well that's not good" he frowns, putting his arms behind his head as they watched Luffy disappear.
Yoruichi shakes her head at the teens antics. She decided now to be a good time to make a get away while they were distracted by the straw hat.
Just as she turned around she was picked up a pair of muscular soft hands "Where do you think you're going?"
"Meow" she replies, looking up at the grinning blonde who placed her on his shoulder
"Come on goldy, you're coming with me" he tells her with a mischievous smile "There's no way any lady would be able to resist a cat daddy"
"How come you get Yoruichi" frowns Usopp "Nami and I barely spend any time with her off ship" he pointed out
"Yeah!" Nami nods "You three always hog her!"
"Well maybe get to her first" Zoro suggested with a raised eyebrow
"Whatever" Nami and Usopp mumble in irritation. There was no point in arguing when they know the swordsman is indeed correct.
"Well you two go ahead and pout" Sanji winks "We've got some food and ladies to pick up"
'The last thing I want to do' mewls Yoruichi in protest
"Sorry kitty, you just have to suck it up" smirks Sanji as he walked away from the group and to the main square where food got mainly sold "If it makes you feel any better, I'll cook up some tuna pasta just for you" he promises, making the shape shifter stop her meowing of protest and purr in satisfaction.
"Ahh. Perfect aperitif. Coupled with two mouth watering delicacies" he sighs longingly as he gazed at the many beautiful women on scene "oh so much on the menu I can't decide on where to start. Ahh, I wish this was a buffet" he blushes
Yoruichi just stared at him disapprovingly as he decided it to be a good idea to talk to her about his desires rather than voice them in his mind.
A conversation any normal being would keep to themselves with such pervy thoughts about women.
'Im leaving this doofus as soon as I can' she tells herself, accepting a treat a tan woman gave her
She waved at the two as she departed with a pale brunette man. An action that made Sanji giggle despite the woman being kind.
"Did you see that?!" He screeches lowly "Since she couldn't directly reach out to me she gave you a piece of beef. Oh if only she wasn't tied down"
'Or maybe she thought I'm cute enough for some meat' she sweat drops, eating the small piece gingerly 'and it is one good piece' she purrs, slightly jerking at how quick the blonde turned his head.
'What's wrong with him?! And why does she look familiar?'
The woman the blonde teen focused on wore a white cowboy hat with a pink fluffy accessory cascading down behind her wavy black locks.
She grinned rather alluringly as her green eyes were locked somewhere else, completely unaware of the gawking young man before her.
"Yoruichi, I just found the main course!" He guffawed in amazement "Look at her!"
'Yeah I'm looking' she rolls her eyes 'You horny chef' she paws his face 'Let's hurry and get whatever you need'
"Now, now" he pats her paw away from his face "Food is there forever, beautiful women however" he giggles "aren't! Which is why we need to buy her some roses to show her how appreciated she is"
Yoruichi just grunts in response as he hurried away in an attempt to locate a flower shop within the many stalls.
'Ive never seen anyone go to such lengths just to get a lay'
OoO
Luffy stared at the high platform known for its legacy of executing the Pirate King, Roger.
'The place where the greatest Pirate ever lived died. And the place where the great pirate age began. I want to see exactly what he saw then. Before he died. Well, here goes!' The straw hat teen beams in excitement
He jumps on the metal and began the slow climb up to the stand with no regard to the stares he received.
The people at the town square stared at him in surprise as they watched him recklessly climb without anything to hold on to for support if he were to fall.
Something that nearly happened if it weren't for the boys quick reflexes to wrap his arms and legs around the pole.
Luffy's eyes avert to the man who called out to him.
"I'm kinda busy right now can it wait a minute?"
"You're him? The guy with the East Blue's biggest bounty?" The man with two cigarettes in his mouth asks in slight surprise
"Yeah that's me, Monkey D. Luffy" he clarified, slipping off slightly
"I'm Captain Smoker of the Marines and I'm in charge of keeping the peace of this town" he introduced "You're under arrest"
"Huh? Arrest?" He repeats as he looked down at the man with a displeased frown "Forget that" he smiles "See, I'm going to the Grand Line so I can become King of the pirates!"
"King of the pirates?"
"And I refuse to get arrested in this town!" Luffy tells him
"Then you'll have to go through me. You don't get to enter the Grand Line unless you're able to beat me first. That's the rule of this town" he cracks his knuckles in preparation "Course, that's assuming you'll be stupid enough to fight me"
"So you're saying I can't get into the grand line unless I beat you first?" He asks to clarify the mans words "Well, then I guess I'll have to beat you"
"Let's get started" Smoker Challenged, watching the boy pull his fist back and fail his attack.
"No fair my legs are all tangled up!" Luffy complains, lifting his upper body up to try untangle himself "I'm stuck!" He tells the man tells the man yelling for him to get down "I'm free!"
"Gum-Gum Pistol!"
OoO
"I finally found you! My soul mate!"
'Wrong person dumb ass' Yoruichi muses as the blonde got down on one knee with an extended arm towards the woman with a rose between his teeth.
Upon realisation, Sanji apologised to the freckled woman who wore round lenses.
He got up with a blush at the memory of the woman who caught his eyes out of the many around the market.
He was more than eager to meet her. But with a lot of the ladies stopping by him to pet the cat on his shoulder made him forget his objection until he got pawed by the inpatient feline.
'Why can't he just focus on getting food instead? There are better things to do than to gawk...' the shape shifters train of thought stopped at what she saw.
Her and Sanji stare at a soaring Luffy who screamed as he kept moving through the clear sky as if someone used a cannon to fire him.
"Well that was new. Sort of" Sanji says to an equally confused feline
"Meow" she meows repeatedly, pawing at his face to move it.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm moving" muses Sanji, who barely got any steps since a woman called out his name.
"I've searched for you!" She claims as she spins "For ten years!"
Yoruichi mentally groans as she faces a beautiful woman with pink hair akin to a Lions mane wearing a beautiful red dress and holding a yellow fan with fur at the tips to match the details of her dress.
"Behold, the amazing Carmen" a man to her left introduced
"The greatest cook in the East Blue" a man to her right with an accent adds
"I am passion. Some have called me fiery Carmen" she grins "Ole!" The trio say, changing positions
"I am the first apprentice of Carmen and my name is Leo!" A blonde with an extremely large head introduces himself to her left wearing a blue suit with light yellow on it
"And I am her second, Jose!" A round brunette tan man with large nostrils introduced in a lime suit with light yellow on it.
Yoruichi couldn't be bothered waiting for the perfect time to leave the sous chef and decided to to so while his attention was on the weird trio.
If she was lucky, he wouldn't even realise thanks to the beauty behind him.
'I'm wasting time'
OoO
Did I stay up till 3 to write my last two chapters? Yes, yes I did. This one included but i got too tired to finish it :P
I'm still unsure on whether for Yoruichi to reveal herself to the group really soon or to wait until later during the arc they help the Princess.
Comment what you guys think
