Crazy trouble with love part 8

Big Mom's Daughters and Luffy part 2

xxxxxxxxxxxx

"So...you're telling me that not only did none of them marry Luffy, but instead have established a new base on the island he's at and are trying to win him over after three months?" Asked Big Mom rubbing her head to try and nurse her headache.

"Yes… on the upside we have a new island."

"That has nothing on it except several wild animals and a rubber pirate my girls are fighting over, it holds no value! Hell we're losing money and resources keeping the base they built there operational!" She roared out making her son Cracker real back and start sweating nervously. "We've gone through all this effort and gotten zilch!"

"Um...we did manage to make contact with Dragon though."

"Yes, and he just laughed and said he would only consider an alliance if Luffy chose to marry one of them and then said he was as dense as his mother so that would never happen!" Groaned Big Mom. "This is taking too long, we need to speed this up immediately."

"Well maybe we could tell them if he can't pick one then you'd decide who marries him?"

"That might work, but then I'll have to deal with the rest of them resenting me for a few months." She grumbled with a frown. "For this to work I need him to decide so there is no hard feelings."

"What should the rest of us do then? Try and persuade him?"

"No, with those lovesick fools obsessing over him I need the rest of you to pull double shifts to keep our territory under control."

"Yes momma." He bowed while inwardly groaning. 'Damn it, like running things on my own territory wasn't annoying enough.' He thought as he walked away. 'Why are they being so pick over this?! It's just a stupid marriage, hell chances are he'll die in the first few months like most of them.'

Big Mom groaned and rubbed her head with a groan. 'I can't take the chance of my own daughters going against me and stirring up trouble, but if I wait too long then this will have been too much work when it'd be faster to find others. Damn that elixir and how potent it was.' She thought as she got up and began to pace. 'It did the job, but they're too indecisive, they should have dragged him back! If only I gave it to someone else…. Wait, maybe that's it!' She thought with a large grin as she got up. "Get me my cooks, immediately!"

"Yes momma." Saluted Cracker before rushing out of the room. 'She must want something sweet to calm her nerves, I don't blame her.' He thought as he ran past a very large woman with blue hair, a yellow coat and a black hat. "Out of the way Mondee, I need to get momma's cooks!"

"Ugh, how rude." She huffed shaking her head. "Even all these years you don't know common manners."

"At least I know how to eat vegetables, so move it!" He called back making her scowl and grip her sword on her waist.

"Oooh, that little brat! Implying I'm unhealthy, he's one to talk with his precious biscuits." She muttered with a frown. "It's not my fault the only thing mother fed me as a child was junk food and candy."

While that went on, we pan out of the castle and spot Amande walking down the street while adjusting her large hat. 'Alright, I can handle myself, it'll be my turn with Luffy in a week, I'm sure he won't choose anyone else while I'm gone...right?'

"Sister Amande!" Called a voice behind her making her stop. "I've come to face you again."

She let out a sigh and turned her head halfway. "Not now Hachee, I'm busy at the moment."

"Don't say that, this time I will beat you!" Called a woman with long legs that rivaled Smoothies who was as thin as a stick along with a long neck, she was wearing a black and white pinstripe suit with a fedora on her long wavy blue hair. She was smoking a cigarette like Amande as she also carried a long sword. "I've been training all last week, and it's time to show you who's the better swordswoman."

"I don't care, I have other things on my mind." She said plainly as she tried to walk, only to find Hachee running past her and quickly blocked her off. "Seriously, step aside."

"No, stop ignoring me, I want to prove who is stronger, you haven't met up for sparring in months!" She said as she bit down on her cigarette. "Right now we're gonna settle this, once and for all."

"Hachee, you don't get it, you're younger than me, which means you haven't had as much time as me to train. It also means that I'll win every time." She remarked while puffing out some smoke. "Besides, you should quit using cigarettes, you'll get wrinkles."

"But you use them all the time big sis! And you aren't that much older than me, I was born after you!" She said with a frown.

"Yes, and that's exactly it. You use a sword, I use a sword. You wear a hat, I wear a bigger hat. You have a long neck, so do I. It shows that all of this? I make it look good." She smirked while blowing smoke out. "Besides, I also have something you don't little sister, a good chance at marriage." She said with a chuckle as she pushed her way past her.

Hachee bit on the cigarette and growled before letting out a battle cry and jumped into the air while unsheathing her sword. "Don't ignore me, I am just as good as you!" She cried as Amande quickly turned around and blocked her in midair with her sword before punching her in the chest, sending her flying back.

"Try again in a few years." She calmly remarked as she resumed walking while adjusting her hat again. 'Dang it, I had it just right too.'

'Damn it, I will beat you one day sister, just you wait!' Thought Hachee before crashing into a tree while we spot Custard walking by and looking at a map with numerous 'X's on it.

'Ok, it took awhile but I finally did it, I finally mapped out Luffy-kun's favorite places to sleep, train and eat!' She thought with a chuckle. 'Now I just need to make sure to be there each time he goes to cut off the other girls, which will land me bonus time with him and leave them in the dust!'

"Custard, what are you holding?" Asked a short woman with bushy yellow hair under a knight's helmet with a spike on it, a green dress over a green shirt, and wore armored gloves and leg wear while riding a horse with it's own knight helmet.

"Oh, hey Joconde, just a map, I finally figured out where I have to go to get my prize." Chuckled the woman with a grin.

"Prize? You mean like treasure?" Asked her sister curiously.

"Not exactly, my future husband." She chuckled as the small woman's horse moved closer as it sniffed the map before taking a bite out of it. "AHHHH! My map! Joconde! Control your horse!"

"Sorry, I forgot to get him breakfast, spit that out right now!" Ordered the woman with her horse munching on the map. The horse just shook its head before swallowing, making Custard cry out in anguish.

"Noooo! It's ruined, it's all ruined!"

"Well you made a copy of it right? After all only a fool would have only one map without a backup just in case."

"No, I just finished it, I haven't had time to copy it yet! Besides, I couldn't risk Poire getting her hands on a copy!"

"Poire? She's husband hunting? I swear, she needs to take more pride in what she does. We need to be on guard and ready to crush anyone who dares come to fight us." Remarked the woman shaking her head before her horse turned and started gnawing on her head without her flinching. "All she thinks about is money and how to swindle it, like some common thief."

"That might be so, but she isn't above selling information as long as it benefits her." She groaned. "And you need to learn how to train that damn horse!"

"He is trained!"

"He's trying to eat your helmet!"

"No he's-HEY! Spit that out!" She yelled as her horse bit harder making her try prying his mouth. "I told you it's not food you idiot!"

"See! I'm telling you that thing should be sent to a glue factory!"

"No, you can't do that, he's still learning!"

"He's six years old, how long is going to keep learning?!"

"Until I say so, that's how long!" She threw back before her horse let go of the helmet, before he bit her cheek. "Hey, stop that Arthur, a knight's horse is supposed to behave itself!"

"Whatever, I have a map to try to repair." Huffed Custard walking away while we see Praline floating into a shop, a clothing one to be exact and went straight for the swimwear section.

"Ok, let's see if I can find something good, I need to show Luffy-kun my good side~" She chuckled as she looked through the selection. "Hmm, no, no, too covering, too colorful, polka dots? Bleck! Who wears those still?"

"Agreed, I personally prefer stripes." Chuckled a voice behind her as Praline turned to see a blonde with long hair and long tribe arms and a pair of large, puffy yellow and green striped pants, brown gloves, yellow top that showed off her ample bosom and boots with a sailor cap on her head.

"Marble, I didn't see you there." Said the shark mermaid with a smile. "What are you doing here, getting some regular pants today or maybe even a dress~?"

"Oh please, dresses aren't for me and you know it." Scoffed the longarm woman crossing her arms. "I just came in to see if they had better hats, this one is getting a bit old."

"Well I think I see a nice sunhat you tomboy." Chuckled Praline as she held up a white and pink colored bikini. "Say, what do you think of this?"

"Looks pretty good, although it might not fit with all the extra weight you look like you've got, or is that just your natural size?" Chuckled Marble pointing at Praline's tail.

"Oh shut up, it's always been like that, and a big tail just means I'm a stronger mermaid." She huffed before looking down and smirked. "Although, I am worried."

"About what?"

"About whether or not you're really a woman with a giant butt like that."

"Oh you take that back, I am all woman! And don't knock the pants until you try them, they're comfortable and you can hide so much in them! And are you sure you aren't just jealous about being smaller than me?" She asked as she gestured to her chest.

"Oh please, my girls are just right. Plenty to show and room to grow, yours? Oh you pure thing." Praline shook her head. "By the time you hit your fifties they'll be drooping."

"Oh yeah? Well at least I don't have to deal with that smelly old fish smell when I get old." Jabbed Marble smugly making Praline scowl.

"That's all natural you wannabe sailor!" She snapped as she floated away with the bikini in hand.

"Ooh, touched a nerve, did I?" Smirked the girl while we pan outside to see Myukuru and Melise.

"Ok, so just so we're clear, we work together and share Luffy, agreed?" Said Melise as Myukuru nodded.

"Right, it's time we face the truth, we may be awesome, but we can't compete against Amande or Smoothie when it comes to….nature's gifts or power." Said Myuruku as they both looked down with frowns.

"Yes, they were blessed while we were...made different." Spoke Melise crossing her arms. "Which means we need to gather everything we have to show Luffy he needs the two of us."

"Right, two heads are better than one." Chuckled the long armed woman with a smile. "We will not be beaten!"

Both high fived, but failed to see where they were going around the corner and crashed into two woman, causing all four to get tangled.

"Ow, watch where you're going!"

"Augh, who the he- Myuruku, Melise?"

"Oooh, oh! Greetings big sisters Mozart, Marnier." spoke Melise.

"Hey, augh, give me a second to get u- come on, you need to stand up!"

"Then quit trying to force it, there's four of us here!"

After a bit of struggling they managed to untangle themselves and stand up.

"So, what were you two rushing off for?" Mozart asked to show a tall woman with maroon hair done to look like a jester with the braids on the end looking like bells, she was wearing a pink pink collared shirt with horizontal purple stripes, a maroon skirt, striped tights, and a light purple cape.

"Yeah, what's got you two sistas in a hurry?" Asked Marnier, who had a pink and purple afro with a black leotard, short pink cape, and violet boots. "You're runnin' around like momma's hot on your heels, what's up?"

"Oh, we were...just...uh…" Spoke Myukuru cautiously.

"Myukuru here is taking etiquette lessons!" Spoke up Melise quickly. "I finally convinced her to do it and I'm trying to get her to go get a good dress, the girl has nothing but t-shirts and short shorts!"

"Y-Yeah! That's it!"

"For real? Damn girl, that's sad." Remarked Marnier in pity.

"It's not so bad, didn't you try it for a bit before punching your last instructor after she insulted your accent?" Chuckled Mozart.

"Damn straight I did! That no good old hag said I was talkin' like some loose slut, so I showed her what else my legs are good for besides lookin' good, kickin' her ass." Smirked Marnier patting her leg.

"Well, as much as I would love to stay and talk about maiming teachers, we must go before the tailor goes on break, right dear sister?" Melise said as Myuruku nodded her head.

"Good luck you two." Smiled Mozart as the two sisters walked away from them. "Hmm, I don't know what, but the tune those two usually give off feel rather in line and smooth, that's a surprise."

"Well, whatcha gonna do, if they wanna get all buddy buddy why should we care?"

"It never hurts to keep your ear open for new songs and melodies, especially when some of us have rather grating ones." Muttered Mozart looking away with a grin.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh nothing nothing." She chuckled as we pan away to Smoothie skipping down towards the shipping docks with a smile.

'Finally it's my turn to go man the base, I get to see Luffy-kun~' She thought before spotting her sister Brulee and quickly skidded to a stop before she almost went falling over the woman who turned and jumped.

"Oh! Smoothie, sorry, I didn't see you."

"Well that's what happens when you come out of a mirror on the side of the street."

"True, but there's no easier way to travel, I can get from Whole cake island to anywhere else in mom's territory in a blink of an eye." She said with a chuckle.

"Well if you'll excuse me I need to be off somewhere of the utmost importance." She said as she made her way towards the ship as her sisters raced after her.

"Smoothie, don't you dare leave without us again!" Citron called with a frown.

"Yeah, we're not giving you the chance like last time!" Frowned Cinnamon.

"Damn it!" Groaned Smoothie as she began to race towards the ships.

"Get back here!" They yelled before chasing after her while Brulee watched confused.

"Are they actually fighting? They usually get along great together, and where is she going, no one's in our territory, the islands under our jurisdiction paid their tribute, so where is she needed?" Muttered the woman while we pan away from that scene and go to Poire and Galette in their house as they argued.

"No Poire, you are not fucking selling my time with Luffy-kun to someone else!" Hissed the maroon haired woman with a scowl.

"Oh come now, it's worth a lot to the others and would rake in a lot of dough."

"Yeah, for you! And I would be getting screwed over by losing my time with Luffy with nothing to show for it!" She hissed in annoyance before the door slammed open and Poire was tackled by an orange blur.

"Ooph!" Groaned Poire landing on her back with a groan. "Hey, what's the big- Panna?"

"You're back big sis, do you have any new furs for me?" Asked a tall woman who had long orange hair with big eyes and an animal like smile. She had long legs and arms that were covered by giant, bear like gloves with sharp claws in them, and she was wearing a short dark dressed with a large collar and a large bow on the back.

"No Panna, not today." Spoke the girl before grinning. "But I bet Galette might."

"Really?" She asked as she turned to the other twin with a smile as she began to back away.

"No, no Panna, I do-oof!" She groaned as the girl quickly jumped off Poire and wrapped her up in a bear hug, knocking her to the ground.

"Yay, you're the best big sis!"

"Panna, no, I don't have any furs!' She groaned as the excited girl tightened her grip. "Actually, Poire was thinking of giving you her special panda hat, isn't that right?"

"No way!" Yelled the girl holding it with a hiss. "No one takes my hat."

"Really? Not even me? But it would go great with my gloves, please big sis?"

"Never!" She cried as she backed away. "No one but me can have my precious Pan-pan!"

"Ha, I knew you named that stupid hat!" Laughed Galette with a grin.

"It's not stupid!" She snapped with a frown as Panna looked between the two of them with a smile.

"Big sis Poire, come over here, it's not fair if I just hug Big sis Galette."

"I can't, I...uh...have some business to take care of."

"She's lying, she's just shy!" Cried Galette as Poire started to back up. 'You are not leaving me alone with miss hugs a lot!'

"Aw, no need to be shy Big sis Poire." Smiled Panna walking towards her while the claws on her arms gleamed in the light. "Hugs make everyone feel better."

"N-No, I'm fine, I'm fine!" She cried as the younger sister's eyes shined.

"There is no escape from the hug~" She sang before lunging at Poire who sidestepped, causing her sister to crash into the dresser.

"Galette, help!"

"Oh, we need to get her in on the hug too, group hugs are the best~"

'Crap.' Thought Galette who took off running through the door with Poire following.

"Hey, come back big sisters! I wanna hug!" She cried as we cut away to the quintuplets.

"Hmm, what do you think Luffy-kun would like?" Asked Nutmeg as they looked in a store's display window.

"I think he might like the peanut butter filled candy, who doesn't like that?" Suggested Akimeg as she rubbed her chin.

"Oh! Or maybe something with marshmallows, nothing beats those." Spoke Allmeg.

"What about we get him some of the giant novelty candies, I really like those plus he's a big eater." Said Harumeg who was on her knees so she could actually see into the store.

"I say something sour, change of pace is good." Spoke Fuyumeg.

"Well, what if we get him a bit of each, that way we can see what he likes the most!" Suggested Nutmeg as the others grinned.

"Agreed!" They chimed in while moving inside, just as a woman with pink hair and a crown with a white dress and matching elbow length gloves with a sword strapped to her waist came walking by the store.

"Candy, I guess I could use a bite to eat." She mused as she began to make her way towards the store before noticing the quintuplets and groaned. "Of course those five had to be in there already." She muttered as she steeled herself. 'Ok, just go in, avoid them and maybe they won't be annoying.'

She went inside while going down one aisle as the other girls were on the other side. 'When I become the true queen over this land, perhaps I'll banish them. After all, having sisters who annoy me would get in the way of my royal duties.' She thought as she chuckled a bit.

"Come on, we want to get this brand, the other one is gross and bland!"

"Nuh uh, it's delicious, you just have weird tastes!"

"Luffy-kun wouldn't think so! He'd probably agree and think your choice is weird!"

"Well it's her choice, if she wants to get the bad brand and disappoint Luffy-kun it's all up to her."

"Oh like you're one with tastes!"

'Luffy? Who's that? And why would those five be so….oh you have got to be kidding! Those five found someone? Before me?! I'm of ideal royalty and yet those five halfwits managed to find someone? Is he desperate or has no taste?' She thought before the shelf separating her from her sibling began to tip.

"Harumeg, be careful, you're tipping the aisle over!"

"Sorry, but it's not my fault all the candy stores are tiny!" She remarked before the shelf came down before they heard a crash followed by a yelp making them turn. "Sister Broye?"

"You-You idiots! Can you not go five minutes without messing something up?!" Cried the sister as she stood up, covered in various treats. "Look at me! My dress is now all sticky and ruined!"

"Oh! That's it!" Spoke Nutmeg grabbing a jawbreaker from Broye's crown. "We can go with jawbreakers! They last a long time and always taste sweet."

"Right, and let's also grab some chocolate syrup and take a page from sister Broye if we REALLY want to get him excited~"

"Page? What page?" Asked their sister with a frown.

"The covering yourself with candy one, duh."

"Yeah, Luffy-kun will love it~"

"Y-You perverts!" Cried their sister with a blush. 'How did they get a man before me?!'

"Hey, we're not perverts. We're just coming up with great ideas for a gift."

"Yeah, and that's how we're gonna win Luffy-kun's love!"

"Just who IS this Luffy? I've never heard of someone like that." Remarked Broye taking sweets off herself.

"Oh you wouldn't know him, he lives on another island." Said Nutmeg as her siblings nodded.

"Uh huh, sure, the old boyfriend lives on another island excuse, real smooth." She said as she rolled her eyes.

"It's not an excuse, it's the truth."

"Whatever you say, now if you'll excuse me I need to go take a bath." She turn and walked away with a smirk. 'Ha! I knew it was too crazy to be true, they have to make up a boyfriend and share him together? There's no way someone like that would be on mother's radar unless he was extremely powerful and I heard about him.'

"Stupid Broye, wanna fill her house with pudding later?" Muttered Nutmeg as the others agreed as we cut away to Pudding.

Said girl hummed while currently decorating a large cake with numerous strawberries. 'It's almost done, once the others try this it'll put them to sleep for a week, a whole week of alone time with Luffy-kun~' She moved over one of the drawers before hearing gunfire before seeing a bullet go flying around making her yelp and duck as she saw it bouncing around the kitchen. "Augh! I surrender! Who are you?!" She cried before the bullet planted itself right in her cake. "Nooo! My cake!"

"Sorry about that!" Called a voice before the door opened as a blue haired woman who was a snake neck walked in with an open purple jacket, a bandolier across her chest, a square head, purple pants, and a bowler hat with two pistols in her hands. "I was busy trying to work on a trick shot and I missed the target."

"Why were you working on a trick shot near the kitchen, my cake is ruined!" She cried as she crawled out from under the table. "I've been working on it all morning too!"

"I was trying to shoot a bottle through the top, but I missed, by bad, and it's not totally ruined, it just has a bullet in it." She pointed out with Pudding getting up and frowning.

"Yes, it is, it now has lead in it, I can't serve a cake with lead in it, much less one that got shot!"

"Ok ok, relax, I got this." Her sister raised a pistol before firing, causing the bullet to go through the hole and knocked the first one out. "There, taken care of."

"No, it's not! Besides, our sisters are experts when it comes to food, what kind of cook would I be if I served them a cake that you shot?!"

"I really think you're freaking out over nothing."

"It's not nothing!" She frowned while inwardly scowling. 'Fucking trigger happy bitch! I should take those pistols and shove them-'

"Look, I'm sorry, I'll just go, ok, hell if you want I'll take the cake off your hands, I don't mind eating a shot cake."

Pudding sighed just as a girl with a green jacket, and a darker green jacket wrapped around it with a short pink tube top, a short pink fur skirt, and long pink boots walked in with her hair purple and sticking out to the sides.

"Effilee, are we gonna keep going or not?" Asked the new girl before looking at the cake and wiped some frosting off with a finger before tasting. "Mmm, not bad Pudding."

"Ugh, hi Angel, she was just leaving." Muttered Pudding before realizing what she had put in the cake. 'Shit! Wait, did I put the sleeping powder in the actual cake or the frosting?!'

"Well if you're giving it away." Effilee tasted some herself with Angel licking her finger.

"It could use a bit more lemon though."

"Not everything needs lemon Angel." Said Pudding as she rolled all three eyes.

"To me it does, especially when-" She was cut off and let out a yawn. "Ah, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late last night."

"Yeah, here, try drinking this." Said Pudding as she pulled out the antidote quickly. 'Please don't fall asleep for a week, I can't let anyone know I was the one who did it to you two, that was meant for my rivals!'

Angel took it and gave it a sip just as Effilee let out a yawn. "Huh, not bad, tastes a bit like lemon."

"Don't forget to share with Effilee, we don't want to be rude, right?"

"Bleck, I don't want her backwash." Cringed Effilee making her sister frown.

"I don't have backwash."

"Just drink it!" Pudding snapped as the snake neck woman's eyes began to droop.

"Ok ok." Effilee took the drink and started guzzling it and cringed. "Ugh, it does taste like lemon, nasty."

"You take that back, lemon's are amazing!"

"No they aren't, I'd rather take the smell of fresh gunpowder than touch the stuff."

Angel glared and held her pistol up and cocked the hammer. "Say that again, I dare ya!"

"Oh, you really want to start a gunfight with me? You must be crazy from all those lemons!" She called as she quickly held out her pistols.

"Do it outside! I don't want bullet holes everywhere." Frowned Pudding. 'Do it and you'll be eating those bullets!'

"Fine...but you'll regret starting a fight with me bitch." Muttered Angel with a frown.

"I could kick your butt in a gunfight without even looking."

"Oh yeah?!"

"YEAH!"

"OUT! Now!"

Her sisters glared at the other and rushed out with Pudding looking at her cake and made a fist before punching it and huffed in anger. 'Damn it, now I'll have to start from scratch!' she thought before a random cook walked in.

"Miss Pudding, your mother wishes you to bake her a cake immediately."

"I'll do my best." She gave a happy smile while inwardly facepalming. 'Of fucking course!'

"Also, she wants you to use this." He said as he pulled a large jar of familiar looking jam from his sleeve.

"Right away." She nodded taking it while not noticing and smiled as he left before sticking her tongue out and set the jar on the counter. "I swear it wouldn't kill her to cut down on the sweets." She muttered as we panaway to Prim who was relaxing in a large hot spring.

"Ahhh, nothing like a fresh soak to unwind my legs." She smiled with her legs stretched out on several rocks. "This is nice, no crazy sisters bugging me, no fighting, just some nice, peaceful relaxation~"

"Prim! There you are! I knew I would find you here!" Called a tall woman as she opened the doors to the bath, she had a long neck that was bigger than even Amande's with long light blue hair with a long white towel wrapped around her as she walked towards her sister.

"Huh? Joscarpone? What are you doing here, why are you looking for me?" She asked as she raised her head in surprise.

"I wanted some time alone with a sister I can stand than my brother for once." She said as she slid into the water next to her, making sure to avoid hitting any of her tentacles. "Plus Flampe was on the prowl for an older sister to make fawn over her so I decided to hide here."

'Oh lord, she's moved on to THAT? Maybe I should soak here a bit longer.' Thought Prim, shuddering a bit.

"Yeah, I had the same reaction." Chuckled the blue haired woman as she saw her sister shudder. "So, how have you been, I heard you keep going out to that new base in the calm belt, any reason why?"

"Purely for military reasons." She replied quickly and calmly, thanks to practice.

"Aw come on, there has to be something else there, why else is everyone chomping at the bit to go there?" She asked tilting her neck with Prim sipping some tea using a tentacle.

"It's purely to help raise defenses by making an outpost there."

"Huh, maybe I should take the next boat there and see what all the hubbub is about?"

"Absolutely out of the question, you….were not selected." Remarked Prim quickly.

"Selected? What, you have to be chosen to go there now? I thought you said it was a simple outpost, so why would I have to get permission to go work guard duty for week?"

"Because….mother said so." She answered sipping the tea and averting her eyes.

"Oh really, maybe I should go ask her then, huh?"

"You are free to try." 'Mother wouldn't let her in and bring more sisters near Luffy-kun...right?' She thought as she began to grow nervous. 'It has been a while and we're no closer to winning him over, maybe she's growing impatient? No, I'm just being paranoid, right?'

"Besides, my neck needs a nice soak too." Said Joscarnope with a long sigh as she sunk deeper into the water. "Thank god these islands have hot springs, right?"

"Yes, it helps sooth the muscles with all our responsibilities to keep track of."

"Yeah." She said as we pan away to the brat of the family, Flampe.

"Ugh! Where is Josnarcope? I swore I just saw her." Huffed the teen as she stamped her foot. "Why is everyone disappearing?"

While she was throwing a fit, she didn't notice her oldest sister Compote walking from the opposite street.

'Is that Flampe? Oh dear, did the others ditch her already?' She wondered while seeing her sister stamp and start floating while crossing her arms. 'Can't say I blame them.' She thought as she shook her head. 'I swear, sometime soon she is going to get a cold hard dose of reality and then hopefully she'll mature a bit, at least she isn't stalking her brothers anymore, so that's a plus.'

'I wish I was with Luffy-kun, then maybe I'd finally have the chance to make him see I'm the ideal wife.' She thought with a blush as she sighed happily. 'Oh Luffy-kun, I just know once you get to know me you'll see how much better I am than my stupid sisters, I just know it!'

'Maybe if I speed walk past her she won't notice.'

'I just need something to get the edge on them, anyth- is that Compote?' Thought Flampe seeing her older sister walking her way while looking the other side. "Compote! Hey, over here!"

'Crap! Ok, time to pretend I'm talking to a den den mushi!' She thought while 'reaching' into her pocket and pulling one out before talking. "Huh? What's that?"

Bebe bebe bebe

'Wait, someone is actually calling m- momma!' She thought as she saw which one she had grabbed.

"Hey Compote!"

"Not now Flampe, momma's calling." She hushed the younger sister as she answered the snail.

"Compote, where are you?" Asked the snail with Big Mom's voice with Flampe puffing out her cheeks.

'Don't ignore me!'

"Oh, well I'm just out for a walk momma."

"Good, come to the dining hall immediately, and make sure to grab Mondee too."

"Yes momma." She nodded and put the den den mushi away while Flampe put her hands behind her back with an innocent smile. "Sorry Flampe, I have to go."

"Aw, really? Come on, can't you stay with your favorite little sister~?" She sang as Compote just shook her head no.

"Momma herself called me so I can't ignore it." She said as she began to walk away. 'Thank god for an emergency meeting!'

"What for?"

"I don't know, but I can't ignore her, you know that." She said as Flampe began to follow her.

"I'll come with then."

"No! I mean… she said to come alone, it's very important...you know, I think I saw Pudding by the docks looking for you, why don't you go there?" 'I'm too old to be dealing with her.'

"Wait, the docks?" Flampe went wide eyed before rushing off with a frown. 'I should have expected that backstabbing witch would try something like this!'

'Wow… I can't believe that actually worked!' Thought Compote as she headed off quickly before Flampe could come back. 'I wonder what Momma wants though, I hope it's nothing too serious.'

(Later)

"Compote, do you know why momma told us to come here?" Asked Mariner as she and several more of her sisters sat down at a large table.

"No, but she did say it was very important." She answered with her sisters muttering confused.

"If you say so...also, do you know what happened to Pudding? She was baking a cake earlier and giggling like a schoolgirl, it was pretty weird." Said Angel with a shudder.

"That's nothing, has anyone else noticed how off Smoothie's been?" Asked Brulee. "Earlier today I saw her skipping."

"I swear, it's like they've all come down with some weird disease, hell I swear I saw the quintuplets plotting something that involved a net and a large amount of chocolate." Said Marble as the others nodded.

"This sudden change in attitude is unbecoming of who we are. If they go off and act like that, what will people think of us all in general?" Spoke Joconde while feeding her horse an apple. "They might start thinking we're becoming soft.

"Well, I guess it's been awhile since we razed a island that failed to pay its dues, after this meeting I think there's a relatively expendable island under our control we could make an example of." Said Joscarnope with a laugh before the large doors to the room opened and Big Mom entered followed by numerous chefs and waiters, each carrying a covered platter.

"Hello my daughters, I hope you haven't waited too long."

"Mello momma, it's good to see you." They all said at once as the servants began to set a platter in front of each daughter.

"Now I'll bet you're all wondering why you're here."

"You could say that." Said Mondee as several other daughters nodded.

"Well you'll all find out, after the desert." She said as the chefs lifted the covers away to show a single piece of cake in front of each of them with a familiar jam on it with a few having a small red fruit on top.

"Ooh, thank you momma, they look good." Smiled Panna.

"Thank you momma, but where's your piece?" Asked Effilee as the other daughters noticed this as Compote looked hesitantly at the cake.

"Don't worry about me, you all just enjoy yourselves." She said with a smile. "And make sure to eat every single bite~"

Her daughters went ahead to grab their forks, all expect Compote who seemed to sweat nervously slightly.

'This is the jam I gave Pudding, isn't it? Oh no, momma is upset there isn't any progress, is she trying to make us lovesick too? And what is with these fruit, only some of us have them, momma isn't one for inconsistencies when it comes to food.'

"Compote, why aren't you eating, is there a problem?" Asked Big Mom, giving her eldest daughter a dangerous look.

"N-No momma, nothing at all." She spoke up nervously.

"Then go ahead, dig in, I insist." She said as the large woman gulped nervously.

'I guess I don't have a choice...maybe it won't be so bad, the others seemed happy afterwards.' She thought before she reluctantly began to eat.

"Mmm, the sugar and fruity taste give this cake quite the smooth rhythm." Hummed Mozart.

"Agreed, this fruit also adds a unique sour taste that mixes well with the rest of the dish." Said Brulee between bites.

"Yes, what is this jam made of momma, I can't quite place the taste." Said Hachee as she licked her lips.

"Oh it's a special jam I got as tribute from one of my islands, also when you're done lift up your plates, there's something under there you need to see."

That confused them while most looked at the plates while Compote gripped her fork harder.

'Oh no, I have an idea what it might be. Maybe I can pretend to look at it.' Thought Compote as she finished the dish. 'I really don't want to join the lovesick mob!'

"Huh? What is this, a wanted poster?" Asked Brulee in confusion as she lifted up her plate to see Luffy's wanted poster.

"Say what? Who this?" Asked Marnier looking at her own as the others began doing the same.

'Here goes nothing, just try not to look!' Compote thought as she closed her eyes and lifted it up.

"He looks kind of silly." Remarked Panna.

"I didn't know it was possible for a normal person to smile that widely, why are you showing us this momma?" Asked Mozart as she picked up the poster. "Wait, isn't this the young man who attacked marine headquarters during the war of the best?"

"Yes, that little brat is Monkey D. Luffy."

"He doesn't look that powerful, the chess soldiers here look more worthy of attention than this fool." Remarked Broye waving her hand.

"True, but looks can be deceiving, just look at our family." Remarked Hachee with a shrug. "Besides, momma wouldn't be showing us this if it he wasn't valuable, right?"

"Precisely." Chuckled Big Mom. "I want all of you to pay close attention to this kid, because he's more valuable than you think." She said as they all focused on their posters as they began to feel odd. "His father is especially valuable, the revolutionary Dragon himself."

"Say what?!" Gasped Mondee.

"Yes, and speaking of which I made contact with him and he is willing to consider an alliance if this boy joins the family."

"You mean like gettin' hitched?" Asked Marnier.

"Exactly, and I'm sure you've noticed your sisters acting strange recently too, correct? Originally they were assigned to getting him to agree to marry them, but they've been slow and we can't risk falling out of Dragon's favor by forcing him to marry one of them."

"Wait, you mean to say, that this ONE man is the reason the others are so nutty?" Asked Angel with disbelief.

"Indeed, and I was hoping you would like to take a shot at trying to woo him, now of course I wouldn't make you do this but if you feel like volunteering you have my permission to leave for the island he's at any time you wish." She remarked with her hands up with the girls looking at the poster, minus Compote who kept her eyes closed.

'I knew it! She's getting desperate and wants all of us to go after him like our sisters.' She thought as Big Mom noticed her closed eyes and frowned.

"Compote, are you falling asleep on me? Please, open your eyes, you haven't even looked at the poster yet."

"Sorry momma, I have something in my eye." She said nervously. 'Please, making me like them won't help, I'm too old for him to want to marry!'

"Well open just one then." She ordered with a frown.

"Ah, right, how silly of me.." She said as she slowly opened one eye and saw the smiling straw hat pirate. 'Damn it!'

"Hmm, his smile is dopey, but it's better than when Marscarpone does it." Remarked Joscarpone with a laugh.

"Yeah and his hat isn't all that bad, maybe I could convince him to switch with me?" Mused Marble with a grin.

"If his crew has that old bounty hunter Zoro on it, he must be real tough to keep him in line." Remarked Hachee blowing some smoke out. "Someone with those many swords isn't easy to tame, so that's not so bad."

"Yeah, plus if he's looking right into the camera he obviously doesn't fear the marines, interesting..." Said Joconde as her horse tried to eat the poster. "No! Bad Arthur!"

"So...where did ya say this guy was again?" Mariner asked with a grin.

"He's currently on an island we've recently begun work on claiming." She replied making Joscarpone go wide eyed.

"Hey wait, that's the one Prim told me about! Said I wasn't selected when I suggested I go visit it."

"Well she lied, I'm guessing she was trying to limit the number of people trying to get the pirate she's after." Chuckled Big Mom.

"So you want all of us to try and get him to marry one of us?" Asked Effilee.

"That would be ideal, though if some of you would rather not try I understand, just know you can go to the island any time you want, also if you had a piece of fruit on your cake you can thank me later, those were hard to come by."

"What do you mean?" Asked Mondee with the girls looking at the posters longer without realizing it.

"Let's just say you're getting a makeover, a little something extra to help you if you go after Monkey D. Luffy." Big Mom turned and started walking away. "Good luck."

'What were those berries, they weren't on the cake the girls ate the first time, did she just poison us?!' Compote thought as she began to panic.

"Ugh, I don't feel good." Spoke Joconde grabbing her stomach as it growled.

"Ugh, same here." Groaned Brulee. "I think those berries were expired."

"My head feels off." Groaned Effilee rubbing her forehead.

"What were those berries?" Groaned Mondee as she rubbed her stomach.

"What if momma really did poison us?" Spoke up Compote before feeling her stomach growl making her grab it. 'What is going to happen to us, momma wouldn't kill us over this, so what were those berries?'

"No way, she wouldn't, right?" Asked Panna as the others looked at the five with fear.

"Yeah, I mean Compote is the oldest, she wouldn't kill her!" Cried Marble as the girls stepped back nervously.

The five groaned and held themselves with Joconde looking at her hands and felt like her gloves were getting too tight.

"W-What the hell?" She said as she pulled off her gloves only for her eyes to widen as she saw her hands grow larger and thinner, more feminine as the callouses she's accumulated over the years of fighting faded.

"Ahh! My face!" Cried Effilee feeling her cheeks tingling and seemingly squirm making her cover her head and roll around as her body felt the same thing.

"I feel strange, why to I feel so light!?" Cried Mondee as her large bulk began to shrink as her clothes felt too large for her.

Brulee let out a scream while feeling her face tingling all over and covered it while her body frame under her clothes started changing. "No one look at me!"

'Oh god, I knew it, she poisoned us!' Thought Compote before her skin began to tighten, years of wrinkles pulled out of existence in a moment as she felt lighter as her body began to drastically change.

"S-Should we get a doctor?" Asked Marble in panic.

"I don't know, would even doing that be going against Momma?" Replied Mozart in fear as they watched their sisters squirm.

"I don't know about ya'll, but I'm out!" Spoke Marnier before heading for the door. "I ain't being a witness to murder, see ya!"

"Hey wait! Don't be a sniveling coward!" Yelled Broye with Joconda dropping her helmet and groaning with her clothes expanding as she seemingly began to grow.

"Arthur...help!" She groaned as she fell off her horse with a groan.

The horse turned and gave a whimper of concern while the other woman felt the sensation growing more and more.

"Make it stop...make it stop…" Groaned Effilee as she held her face.

"I feel sick…" Brulee spoke while curling up.

"Compote, what do we do?" Cried Joscarpone nervously. "How can we help you all?!"

"I...don't...know!" She groaned as she clutched her head as she felt her body grow thinner and thinner.

'Oh god, are they going to die?!' Thought the girls who were stuck between running out or staying.

Soon the woman were lying on the floor, panting as the changes subsided.

"Is...is it over?" Groaned Joconde.

"I...think...so." Brulee let out.

"I...feel...exhausted." Groaned Mondee.

"And my face is...holy shit!" Cried out Effilee feeling her cheeks.

"What, what is i- oh my…" Said Hachee as her jaw dropped, her cigarette falling to the floor unnoticed.

"Holy shit!" Spoke Angel with wide eyes.

"What did momma give you?!" Cried Panna as they looked at Effilee whose face was more round now and more feminine with her skin being less gray than before.

"I don't know!" She spoke while touching her cheeks and was stunned beyond belief.

"My….my nose, what happened to my nose?!" Cried Brulee as she stood up, her scars greatly faded on her face along with her nose having shrunk, looking normal sized for once as it still stayed pink with her body looking curvier than before.

"Forget your nose, look at me! I've grown big!" Cried Joconda who had a more curved and mature body like them and had seem to grow a foot and a half with the clothing straining against her and the helmet tilting on her head now. "This is amazing, I'm no longer a midget!"

"Well you're still pretty short, you're just not two feet tall anymore." Chuckled Mondee as she stood up, now much, MUCH thinner, so much that you can actually see her neck. She looked at her body with her clothes slipping down while having a body similar to Smoothie, minus the long legs. "My god, I look amazing."

"What was in those berries?" Wondered Compote as she shook her head.

"Daaamn! Look at you sis." Spoke Marnier.

"What do you...oh my." She said as she looked down at herself in shock. Her body looked much younger and thinner, almost mirroring what she used to look like in her twenties. Her clothes were sliding down her and causing her chest to stand out, which looked about bigger than Mondee's which had definitely rounded out. "Well… this is quite the change, isn't it?" 'Momma must really want Luffy if she's doing this, she really is pulling out all the stops.'

"Damn! Those berries really did something." Spoke Angel with a frown. 'Wish I got one, wouldn't mind being a size bigger.'

"Well, I'm just glad we're not dead." Sighed Effilee. "I dunno about you girls but I feel like a million bucks."

"Other than me needing bigger gloves, same." Spoke Joconde.

"Yeah, well… see you girls later, I have a boat to catch." Said Joscarpone as she headed towards the door.

"Woah there, says who?" Spoke up Broye with her arms crossed.

"Says me, momma said we could leave whenever we wanted, and I want to see why Prim was trying to hide this Luffy from me so hard."

"I'll come to." Spoke up Panna. "I don't want to leave you all by yourself on your long trip, you'll get bored!"

"Hold up, I'll come with." Spoke Effilee.

"No, I'm fine on my own, really." Said the snake necked woman with a frown. 'Damn it, I was curious first, stop trying to horn in!'

"I will come too." Said Compote as several others chipped in, making her groan.

"Oh come on, you all can't come, right Joc- hey, where's Joconda?" Asked Joscarpone as she noticed that the small knight and her horse were gone.

"I think she already left." Spoke Mozart.

"...out of my way, I am not letting that midget get there before me!" Called Angel as she raced past the others.

"After her!" Yelled Broye before all of them took off running, minus Compote and Mondee who picked their clothes up.

"Wait all of you! This is a mistake!" Called the oldest. "This is what momma wants!"

"And what we want, if you don't want to come then have fun staying home!" Called Marble with a grin.

"Those idiots." She groaned facepalming. "I need to get better clothes that fit, but those girls can be used as pawns if they want, I'm not going." She said as she looked down at the wanted poster in her hand. "I am stronger than some jelly, I am!"

"I agree, the clothes part I mean." Spoke Mondee looking herself over with a smile. "I need something more snug, with a new body like this I'm gonna show it off for the world to see."

"I...I need to go show Katakuri this immediately." Said Brulee with a smile. She dashed out while the other sisters were currently in a race to the port.

"Come on Arthur, faster! If we get there first I'll buy you all the apples you want!" Yelled Joconda tapping the sides of the horse.

"Get back here you shrimp, you're not getting to that base first!" Yelled Angel firing at her sister who avoided the bullet.

"Hey, what are you trying to do, kill me you crazy bimbo?!"

"I'll get to the first ship, my rhythm is far more elegant!" Yelled Mozart who started skipping and waved her hands while doing a spin and began getting ahead of them. "Your rhythm is all over and doesn't match together."

"What does that even mean?!" Cried Hachee as she drew her sword and tried to take a swing at them. "That ship is mine!"

'I wonder how long until they realize there's multiple ships?' Thought Panna as she followed behind them just out of shooting and stabbing range. She kept her eyes open before splitting off and headed to a smaller ship that could hold one person. 'I can't wait to meet Luffy, I wonder if he likes furs?'

The other girls kept trying to get the others away while over in a clothes store, Compote and Mondee were trying to find smaller clothes.

"Huh, this looks good." Said Compote as she held up a light green blouse and purple overcoat as her fruit bowl hat lay on the ground next to her, her head not large enough to hold it up anymore. 'I wonder if Luffy would like th- NO! Stop it, don't think about him!'

"Hey Compote, how does this look on me?"

"It looks fine." She said as she looked over to see her sister in a yellow coat similar to her last one, except this one was open to show a yellow dress underneath with her snake neck on display.

"Just fine? Because I wanna make sure these are nice and clear." She grinned adjusting the coat around her breasts.

'I wonder if she'll manage to actually keep the weight off or she'll get it back?' Thought Compote looking at her own chest. 'I just can't believe my body's back, I've missed it for years.' She thought as she let out a smile. 'Now I at least don't look like a carbon copy of momma, thank god for that.'

"This should be better." Remarked Mondee who switched out the yellow dress for a white tank top and blue shorts and looked in a mirror. "Oh yeah, I like it."

"Not bad, not bad at all, so what are you going to do now that you're thin?" Asked Compote as she began to put on the clothes she picked out.

"A long run or jog sounds good, it's been a while since I could without getting winded."

'Should I tell her that just being thin doesn't equal strength or stamina?'

"Eh?! Compote, Mondee, is that you?!" Cried a voice as they turned around to see Myukuru gaping at them in shock.

"Hey Myukuru, check me out, I'm smoking hot." Smirked Mondee with her hands on her hips.

"Wha- but, how is thi- how?!" She cried in shock.

"I guess it is quite amazing, huh?" Chuckled Compote as she leaned down and pushed the long armed girl's jaw up. "Let's just say it's a...odd story and leave it at that."

"Yeah, odd… this is crazy, a good crazy though, but still!" She said with a grin.

"That's right, I'm young again and hotter than that pirate empress." Smirked Mondee.

"I see someone's gotten a swelled head already." Sweatdropped Myukuru as Compote chuckled.

"Big time." She remarked while finding a smaller fruit bowl hat on a shelf and tried it on. "Hmm, perfect."

"Yeah, but this is still amazing, does anyone else know about this?"

"A few of our sisters, but I'm afraid you missed them, they headed straight towards the docks."

"Yeah, they went nuts after seeing that wanted poster." Mondee said as Myukuru froze.

"Wait, wanted poster?" She asked as Compote looked down at her in pity.

"Yes, of straw hat Luffy." She said as the long arm girl gulped nervously.

"Which one, Smoothie, Amande, Galette?"

"None."

"None? What do you mean?"

"The ones who ran to the ships haven't gone to the island yet, like Joconda, Joscarpone, Panna, Marble and so on."

Myukuru went wide eyed and gulped. "Oh...I see, sorry, but I just remembered I have to do something, later!"

"I'd run if I were you, they were already near the dock when they ran off." Spoke Mondee as their sister ran out and she slapped her ass. "Ah, you know, I know just the place to show this body off at."

"Really? Where?" Compote asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"That island the others went to, I wanna see what this Luffy is like and how he'll react."

"Then you better hurry, all the ships that can go there will be taken soon." Remarked Compote as her sister moved to pay for the clothes while she shook her head. 'I almost feel bad for them, acting gaga for a man they haven't met, and all for momma's sake of getting him into the family.' She thought as she shook her head. 'Good thing I'm smarter than that.' She thought as we cut to Myuruku running as fast as she could.

'Crap crap crap, they finally saw how great Luffy-kun is!' She thought as she looked around for Prim. 'We have to go, now!'

Said sister was currently getting a massage on her tentacles while Praline was getting the same, but for her tail.

"This is nice, right Prim?" Sighed Praline with a smile.

"You said it, and this time, there's no interruptions." She said before Myuruku burst in.

"PRIM! Let's go, the others know about Luffy-kun!"

"Ugh! Myukuru! We're busy here." She groaned before registering what she said. "Wait, what did you just say?"

"The other's who haven't been to the island know about him and are running to get there!"

"What?!" Praline sat up. "That's awful! As if dealing with each other wasn't hard enough, now the others are wanting Luffy-kun now? Why can't things just work out like they should!"

"Yeah, and they're not part of the agreement, they might drag him back to get married or worse, marry him on the spot!" She cried as both mermaids shot up.

"The massage will have to wait, we need to get the others and stop them!"

"Right, and we can't let anyone else know or there will be even more competition!"

While they rushed to get the others, the sisters who ran to the port had managed to get on a ship, except Panna who was on her own small ship.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to go now!" Called Hachee.

"We are going." Spoke Broye sitting on a chair with a groan. 'I can't believe we have to share this ship.'

"Not fast enough, Effilee already got on her own ship, I can't lose to her!"

"You forgot so did Panna."

"She has a small ship, odds are she'll get there last, it's not as fast as ours."

"If only you could swim Arthur." Sighed Joconda while managing to find a bigger pair of gloves on the ship. "Oh well, at least I can still ride you, right?" She said as her horse chomped down on her head. "Good horse."

"Even when you're no longer a midget that horse still bites anything it finds." Remarked Angel while biting into a lemon. "Though four feet tall is still pretty short."

'God down how many people snuck onto my ship?' Broye thought with a groan as we cut to Panna who was sailing out with a smile.

"Wow, sailing on my own is free feeling, and feeling that wind is ticklish." She giggled with a grin. "Wave wave wave, waves all around as I sail off to find my Luffy~" She sang happily.

"Ya'll mean mine!" Called out Marnier from the bigger ship.

"Ours dear sister, you must listen to harmony." Said Mozart as she stepped next to her as the ship began to slowly pass Panna. "It would make sense if the two of us were to share him instead of fighting."

"Say wha? You for real sis, you wanna go and share that fine ass?"

"Would you prefer to have him taken by all the others in a mishmash of chaos?"

"...fair enough, but I get dibs on the first night, get it?"

"Fair enough." She nodded while internally chuckling. 'Provided I don't make him come to me first.'

"Hey, you don't mind if I have him, right?" Called Panna as she tilted her head.

"Yeah I mind!" Marnier called with a frown. "You can't have him!"

"Really? You don't mind, right sister Effilee?" She called as the twins looked confused before turning around to see said sister.

"Sorry, my ship now." She said before pushing them over the railing.

"Waaah!" They cried out before hitting the water.

"Don't worry, you're close enough to the docks you'll be fine." She called with a grin.

"You sneaky bitch!" Sputtered Marnier as she and Mozart flailed to stay afloat.

"Hey, get back here! This is quite the disruption of our harmonious progress!" Mozart cried with a frown.

"Sure looks like it's going alright for me!" She called back while Panna's boat sailed past the twins.

"Wait, Panna! Pull us onboard, please!" Cried Marnier as she tried to swim after the little ship.

"Huh? Why, didn't you have your own ship and say I couldn't have Luffy?"

"She was kidding!" Called Mozart.

"Don't you want to be on your own ship though?"

"No! We uh, we got off so we could….snuggle with you?"

"Oh! Then come aboard!" Panna called happily as she easily plucked them out of the water and plopped them on her lap. "Yay! Hugs for sisters!"

'This is a big price to pay if it means getting us there.' Thought the twins as Panna pulled them into a tight bear hug as she hummed happily. Meanwhile we cut to Marble on her own ship as it started to leave the harbor.

"Damn it, I can't believe all of them got a head start of me!" She groaned as she shook her head. "I swear, I'm going to get there last after they already find Luffy!"

"Hey, wait up!" Called a voice before Mondee jumped aboard.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Coming with, you fools took all the seastone coated boats!" Said the woman with a frown. "I think Compote is coming later, but all the other ships were taken, you almost left me behind!"

"I didn't know you were coming, and even if I did I would have left you behind." She growled. "I'm going to be the one to get Luffy, not you!"

"Oh I don't want him, I just want to see him gape when he sees my perfect body~" She smirked posing making her sister sweatdrop.

'Ok, so she's just delusional...I can work with that.' She thought as she shook her head.

(Later)

"There it is!" Called Effilee looking ahead and spotted the island. "There's Rusukaina! Wait...is it snowing?" She wondered in surprise. 'I don't remember them telling me about that… ah, right, forty eight seasons.'

"And where I'll be!" Spoke Hachee before taking a running start and started sprinting before jumping off the railing and towards the island.

"Hey! What are you doing you idiot, we're not close enough for you to land there!" She yelled out as her sister crashed into the water, but she started to swim as soon as she did. "Oh you bitch! No fair!"

"All's fair in love and war!" She called as we cut to Luffy eating a large hunk of meat.

'I wonder if they're done building that weird base?' He wondered while doing a one handed stand with push ups to keep his muscle working. 'They've been at it for weeks, or was it days? I forgot.' He thought as he took another bite. 'It's been a few days since they've come to see me though, at least I've been able to train in peace.'

As he ate, the large gorilla looked at him with a glare and clenched his fists before he came charging out of the brush. Luffy shot it a look before letting out a small wave of conqueror's haki, making it freeze.

Luffy grinned and chuckled while finishing off the meat and tossed the bone to the side before swallowing. "Well, now that I'm full, I can spar a little bit." He said as the gorilla began to take a step back. "Aw come on, you're not upset I beat you last time, right?"

The large ape sweated nervously and gulped before seeing Luffy walk towards him which made him turn and take off running.

"Hey! Get back here!" He shouted as he started to chase after it. "Don't be a cry baby, fight me!"

The gorilla let out a scared cry while we cut back to Hachee who climbed on land and sighed.

"Damn it, my last cigarette went out." She tossed it away and shook some water off. "Oh well, I'll get more later, but first, time to hunt me a man." She chuckled as she dashed into the woods. "Luffy, oh Luffy, where are you?" She called as several of the ships made their way towards the docks by the base.

"I can't believe you let that stubborn sister of ours get the lead." Frowned Broye.

"You think I had the chance? She just jumped overboard!"

"You should have shot her." Frowned Angel finishing her lemon.

"As much as I want Luffy I don't want to kill my sister!"

"I didn't say kill her, I meant like shoot a leg or both, slow her down."

"In the calm belt?! I would have brought a sea king upon us you lemon headed idiot!" She growled as the ship lowered it's anchor before she jumps off onto the island.

"Out of the way!" Jelled Joconde riding after her and nearly knocking Broye into the water.

"Watch it you knight wannabe!" She cried angrily. 'I'm surrounded by brutes and idiots!'

"Get back here!" Yelled Effilee who was about to follow, but a nearby mirror, which was installed on the side of the cabin of the ship, seemed to ripple before Brulee came popping out and ran by her, knocking her overboard.

"Sorry sister, but work smarter, not harder!" She called as Katakuri followed her.

'This isn't Whole cake island...I should have been more specific with her on where to put me out when she left.' He thought as he watched his sisters run into the forest. '...I don't even want to know what's going on here, all I do know is that Flampe isn't here.'

"And here we are." Smiled Panna as her ship reached the island while still holding the twins.

"Oh thank god, now let me go!" Cried Marnier as she struggled to get free.

"No need, we'll all go together." She said with a smile.

"But if you're hugging us, then how will you be able to hug Luffy?" Mozart asked quickly before Marnier could attempt to kill their younger sister.

"Hmmmm, good point." She said as she stood up before dropping them in the boat. "I better go get him, don't try to steal him please!" She jumped off and went running with Marnier rolling her eyes.

"I swear that nut is way to innocent for her own good." She muttered with a frown as she stood up. "Come on Mozart, let's go nab us a pirate!"

"We will be singing a symphony when we find him."

"Oh he'll be singing my name alright~" She chuckled as we cut to Luffy who was lying on the ground in boredom.

"Ugh, this sucks, why won't anything fight me anymore?" e grumbled with a pout. "I can't get any stronger if they don't spar with me."

"-uffy, Luffy, where are you?" Called a female's voice, making him perk up.

'Are they back already? Yes, I hope it's Smoothie, she likes to spar with me, though she keeps putting me in wrestling holds for some reason and likes to grapple.' He thought sitting up and stood up. "Oi! Over here!"

"Huh? Luffy, is that you?!" Asked a female's voice hopefully as he nodded.

'Who is that, I don't recognize their voice… though maybe they're sick?' He wondered before hearing bushes get pushed aside. To his surprise Hachee walks forward with a grin. "Eh?! Who are you?"

"The name's Charlotte Hachee, but you can just call me Hachee."

"Ok...huh, your neck is really long like Amande, you even look like her, are you her sister?"

"Yes, I'm her little sister, but make no mistake, that doesn't make her the better sister." She said as her smile dropped a bit. "Either way here I am, and I found you first!"

"Found me? You were looking for me?" He asked in surprise. "And what do you mean by found? Wait...are you like the others?"

"Oh please, I'm way better than them." She scoffed walking towards him. "And I will show you how I am better than my siblings in all ways, especially as a wife."

"A WIFE?! I'm not getting married!" He spoke up jumping back. "I already told the others!"

"Well I'm not the others, so you should reconsider that immediately." She said as she began to feel impatient.

"Uh uh! No!" He crossed his arms. "I told them and they listened, so I'm not gonna get married."

"Well I'm not them, I wasn't here for that so I don't care, now come here!" She snapped as she pointed at the ground in front of her.

"...nope!" He said before turning and running off. "Sorry!"

"Hey!" She growled before pulling out her sword and started running. "You're not getting away!"

'No no no no no! It's like the first time all over again! Well this time I'm ready, I made my spots to hide just in case!' He thought with a grin while he was heading towards a large tree and reeled his arms back, then launched them up to grab the branches and went flying up. He looked around before grinning as he grabbed another one and headed towards what looked like a small treehouse hidden in a large bunch of branches.

"Hey! Come down!" Yelled Hachee reaching the tree and saw him disappear behind some leaves. "You can't hide forever! If you won't come down I'll bring you down!" She cried as she raised her sword before swinging it at the tree, cutting through it in one fell swoop.

Luffy blinked and felt the tree tilting making him run on a branch and jump off, and go flying down towards a lake with a waterfall. 'Crap! Not the water!' He thought as he looked around quickly for something to grab.

Hachee looked around as the tree crashed into the lake and growled. "Come on out! I know you're there!"

'Oh god, she's crazier than the last ones!' He thought as he managed to grab a tree on the other side of the lake. He moved up and hid around behind it while sighing in relief. 'I just hope she'll go away.'

"LUFFY! You can't hide forever, I will find you!" She cried as he ran away, making sure she didn't see him.

'Ok, maybe I can go hide in that bunker Pudding told me to make, what was it called...ah! The nest something or other, they won't find me there, it's underground!' He thought with a smile before hearing a tree come crashing down. 'Oh boy, she's really going nuts.' He thought as he kept running before seeing someone up ahead and skidded to a stop before hiding behind another tree.

"Ugh, why is this damn island so cold?!" Broye complained with a frown. She shivered and rubbed her arms while looking around. "Thank god the islands I'll come to rule are nice and warm, I'd rather give up my crown than live in a kingdom covered in snow and ice." She groaned. "That's why I swear when I find him I am getting us the hell out of this icy hellhole!"

'Find him? Oh! Is she looking for someone?'

"Luffy, if you're here come out right now!"

'Oh god she's looking for me! Why me?' He thought with a groan before a branch on the tree let some snow fall next to him making her turn.

"Who's there?! Panna I swear to god I will stuff you if that's you." She growled as she moved towards the spot of snow.

'Oh no, she stuffs people!' He thought in fear. 'Wait, she's wearing a big dress, people can't move fast in those, right?'

Broye grabbed her sword and began to pull it out, but when she looked, she didn't find anyone behind the tree. "Huh? I could have sworn...was it just snow dropping?" She muttered as she shook her head. "I swear, I'm becoming paranoid."

Luffy held on to the tree branch above her and watched her walk away. 'Whew, that was close.' He thought as he looked around. 'Why are there so many crazy woman around? I thought I made a deal with the others, right?' He thought as he quietly dropped down. 'I just need to keep moving, at least my hat is safe, they know not to touch it...right?'

"Luffy! Luffy! Where are you?"

'Oh no, another!' He thought as he pulled himself up into the trees once one.

Broye turned and frowned before seeing Brulee appear. "Brulee, begone! I will be the one to find him."

"Like hell, besides, I want to see what he thinks of me, I need to know if people can actually stand to look at me now!" She frowned while looking around. "Unlike you, I can be quite charming if given the chance."

"Ha! We both know I got all the looks when we were born, along with grace, elegance, the list goes on."

"Yeah, and it ends with you being a giant blowhard and bitch, why would Luffy want to be with you?"

'Are they fighting over me? Ok, new plan, I should just sneak by them, that will work, right?'

"Because unlike you, I didn't need some fruit to look good, I can swim without drowning, and oh right, I can still defeat you in a battle with or without devil fruit powers. After all, what good is your ability without a mirror around for miles?"

"You- you! I swear, you need a good kick in the ass to knock you off your high horse, you might be beautiful, but you are no queen, you're not royalty, you're just a bratty little sister like Flampe!"

"You take that back!" She snapped while drawing her blade. "I'm the rightful heir to mother's land, and once I claim it, I'll make sure annoyances like you AND her are sent far far away for good!"

"HA! You, heir to any of momma's land is a joke all by itself, you have no claim, hell the closest thing you'll ever have to owning land is looking after your shitty island for momma!" She laughed making Broye scowl and grit her teeth.

"Why you insufferable little WITCH!" She lunged, but that was the moment Panna came bursting into the scene making them and Luffy turn towards her. "Panna, what are you doing here?! Go away!"

"Hi sisters, how are you doing?" she asked with a smile.

'Huh, she….seems kinda nice.'

Brulee opened her mouth before getting an idea and grinned deviously and gasped. "Oh no! Our dear sister Broye is freezing from the cold and needs a hug to warm her up!"

"Wait, what?! No no no, I'm warm, really!" She cried as Panna turned to her with a smile.

"Don't worry big sister, I will warm you up until you are nice and happy!" She ran at her sister with her arms held out making Broye turn and start running with Brulee snickering.

"Go away, I'm fine, I'm warm! Just go away, in fact run away, Luffy went that way and he's really REALLY cold, he wants your hugs!"

"That's just the cold messing with her Panna!" Called out Brulee before feeling some snow drift on her shoulder from above. She looked up curiously before grinning as she saw Luffy watching Panna chase her sister, not realizing he had been found.

"Wow, she really wants to help her sister, that's nice." He said to himself with a nod. He made a move on the branch, only to feel a hand grab his ankle making him yelp and nearly fall down if he didn't grab the tree. "Eh?! Who's doing that?" He cried as he looked down to see Brulee grinning at him.

"Hello Luffy-san, could you come down, I want to talk!" She spoke up loud enough to get Broye and Panna's attention.

"Luffy?! Hey, don't you touch him!" Cried Broye with a frown as Panna perked up.

"Hi Luffy!" She called before running over. "Do you need some help, are you cold?"

"Yes and kinda?" He said, not completely focusing on what she said as he tried to free his leg..

"Then you need a nice big warm hug!" She cried as she lunged at him, tackling him down and freeing his arm from Brulee's grasp. "Ooh, you're so huggable! I love it!"

Luffy blinked as her grip was tight with the gloves being warm as she rubbed her cheek against his. 'Huh...she's not so bad, I think I like her!'

"Panna, give him back right now!" Ordered Brulee with a glare.

"No." She replied while tightening her hug. "I'm leaving now, bye bye!' She called as she began to quickly jump away, easily outpacing her older sisters.

"Hey!" They yelled out before giving chase.

"Hi Luffy, my name's Panna, how are you doing?"

"Kinda hungry." He answered bluntly while she jumped without letting go. "Are you like all the others?"

"No, I'm Panna, why do you ask?"

"I mean about wanting me, are you gonna ask me to marry you too?"

"Do you want to get married?" She asked as she kept running.

"Nope."

"Ok, can we snuggle and hug though, you're cute and feel nice." She asked with a faint blush.

"Wait...you don't want to marry me?" He asked in surprise.

"I do but you said no so I can wait."

He blinked and was surprised and relaxed a little. "Huh, that's the first time someone's listened."

"Panna! Is that Luffy?!" Cried Joconde as she rode up them as fast as she could. "Give him here!"

"Nuh uh!" She called before she turned and ran the other way with Joconda following while holding out her lance.

"After them Arthur, don't you dare lose them!"

"Hey, who's that?" Asked Luffy.

"My sister and her horse, she's a knight, but I don't want to share you right now so we're running." Answered Panna before spotting Hachee up ahead cutting trees down. "Hey, there's another, hi Hachee!"

"Not now Panna, I'm looking for my Luffy...kun?" She said as she looked up before seeing said object of her desires. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

"Away, bye sister!" She called as she tried to run past her only for her arm to shoot out and grab her leg, making her fall. This also caused Luffy to get pinned under her who groaned.

"Oh no you don't, not with MY Luffy-kun."

"I don't belong to anyone!" Protested the pirate with a groan.

"Now then, you'll have to be punished for running from me." Hachee licked her lips. "Not to worry, I'll be nice and gentle~"

"Ah! Help, the crazy woman's going to kill me!" Luffy cried as he struggled to gre free from Panna's grasp.

"I'm not crazy, I'm-" She was cut off when she felt a sudden pain behind her head and groaned before falling down to show Marnier standing there with a rock.

"Damn bitch acting all high and mighty with mah man, that'll show her." She huffed dropping it and smiled seeing she had Luffy's attention. "Sup, looks like I found ya."

"Who are you?" He asked as Panna sat up, maintaining her hold on him.

"Name's Charlotte Marnier, but you can just call me Marnier baby." She grinned with a hand on her hip.

"Why would I call you a baby?" He asked as he and Panna tilted their heads in confusion.

"Are you not potty trained yet sister?"

Marnier reeled back before righting herself with a frown. "That ain't what I'm sayin'."

"Marnier, you need to be more clear." Spoke Mozart walking over. "Excuse my twin, her accent can get confusing at times."

"Ah, ok, I get it." He said with a nod. "Well, nice meeting you, thanks for dealing with the crazy woman." He said as Panna got up to leave.

"Whoa there Panna, can you let him go for a bit?"

"Why? He seems like he needs a nice hug to stay warm."

"The hugs ARE pretty warm." He said with a nod, making her smile.

"Really? Well that's to bad, Marnier here is really cold, I think she got a cold during the ride here and needs a nice long hug to feel better." Spoke up Mozart casually perking Panna up.

"She needs my hugs? Yes, me and Luffy-kun can hug her together!"

"No, if you do that then he might get sick, you have to let him go."

"But I feel fine." He spoke up.

"Right, and we don't want to get him sick, so you should let him go so you can heal Marnier with you hugs!"

"Mmmm, oh! I know! If I hug both, we'll all stay warm!" She smiled.

"Damn it Mozart, your plan isn't working." Hissed Marnier as Panna began to approach her.

"Group hug!"

"No!" Cried Marnier as Mozart rushed forward and hit Panna on the head, stunning her.

"Quick grab him!"

"Right!" Said Marnier as she grabbed Luffy from Panna before they began to run off.

"Ow! Hey, that's not nice!" Called Panna rubbing her head with a frown. 'I didn't even get to hug them, so mean!'

"Hey, where are you taking me, let go!" Spoke Luffy as he squirmed in her grip.

"To the ship, we have to get the fuck out of here before someone else tries to take you!" yelled Marnier while trying to keep from dropping him.

"No way!" He reeled his arm out and grabbed a rock before reeling it back, causing Mariner to suddenly stop and let go, letting him get away while she fell on her back.

"Ow, what was that for ya dick?"

"I'm not getting married, and I'm not leaving, I have nine months left before I meet my crew!" He called before he took off running with Mozart following. "Just leave me alone!" He cried, unaware of the multiple ships heading towards the island.

"Hurry it up, those bitches could have kidnapped him by now!" Smoothie shouted angrily.

"We're going as fast as possible." Spoke Amande calmly while tapping her foot. "The only ones who can go ahead are Prim and Praline, and even then they wouldn't be able to stop all of them."

"Damn it how did this happen, they never showed any interest before now." Cinnamon said with a frown.

"Maybe they've always but didn't say a thing." suggested Citron.

"So they all decide to go there as one suddenly? Sounds like a conspiracy."

"Either way, as soon as we get there, we're going to make it clear that Luffy is OURS."

"Right, they can't just show up, decide they want him after all the work we put in, he's ours damn it, so he should at least chose one of us!"

'This much chaos will work perfect for me.' Thought Flampe with a grin. 'As they fight I'll go and show him why I'm superior, he will be mine!'

'I'm going to make them pay for ruining my cake!' Thought Pudding with a frown.

'Damn it, Panna better not have him, that ass is mine!' Thought Poire as they got closer to the island.

"They better not do anything to Luffy-kun, I was gonna show off my new bikini." Spoke Praline to Prim as they swam.

"I doubt they'll get him, I mean if we couldn't get him the first time what are the chances they will?"

"Fair point." She said as they got closer before noticing the ships docked. "Damn, I was really hoping they got lost."

"Yeah, a- hey, is that...Katakuri? What's he doing here?"

"Brulee must have brought him through his mirrors, why else would he be here, right?"

"Wait...you don't think…."

"What, that he's gay? No, he couldn't be….right?"

"If he is...then we'd never get Luffy-kun back!"

"Then let's hurry, we can fight Amande, we can fight Smoothie, but we can't beat him!" They spoke as they rushed off, while not noticing the ship Marble had sailed dock as well.

"God damn it, why the hell did we have to stop?! Now I'm behind everyone else!" She cried as she jumped off her ship. 'It's alright though, I mean it's not like they've stolen him away from the time they got here and I just did, right?' She thought only to watch in horror as Joconda rode out to the dock, Luffy tied up on the back or Arthur. "Hey!"

"Hey Marble, look who I found, now he's mine!" Laughed the knight as Luffy struggled to get free.

"The hell he is!" she pulled out her pistols and started firing at her.

"Hey, stop it! He's mine, you're gonna hit Arthur!" She yelled while trying to use her lance to block the bullets.

"Let me go, I can't leave, I can't!" He spoke while trying to bite her hands.

"Hey, stop it now, Arthur bites me enough as it is." She said with a frown as she began to reach her ship. But that's when someone came running off Marbel's ship and she found herself knocked off her horse from a tackle. "Augh, what the hell?!"

"Yes!" Spoke Luffy as he sat up with a smile and looked at the woman who tackled Joconda. "Thanks for that."

"No problem, though could you do me a favor and tell me how amazing I look~?" Called Mondee with a grin.

He looked at her confused as she posed several times. "Um...you look good?" He said as she grinned.

"Come now, don't be shy, go ahead and be completely honest about this beautiful body."

"Um...it's very...nice?" He said scratching his head. "Kinda looks like Hancock's."

"So you're saying I'm more beautiful than the pirate empress? Perfect, absolutely perfect!" She smiled with a laugh. "They might as well call me the new empress!"

"Alright you blowhard, go rave like a lunatic elsewhere, I have business here with Luffy-kun~" Marble said with a grin. She walked over and put her hands on her hips and looked him over. "Wow, a bit shorter than your poster shows, but I can work with that."

"What do you mean by work with, who are you, and where did you get those awesome pants?"

"Oh these? From a nifty little shop, they help emphasize my good points, if you know what I mean~"

"Do you carry meat in them, or food? I bet you could hold a lot of stuff in there!" He remarked making her fall down anime style and made Monee burst out laughing.

"No...I don't carry food in them…" She groaned as she got back up. "I can hide stuff in them though."

"Cool...well, I gotta go back to training and hiding, there's a lot of crazy people out today."

"Well then you won't mind if I join you, right?"

"Huh? Why?" He asked as he turned to Marble. "I'm just going to my hiding spot, it won't be that much fun."

"Oh, I wouldn't know about that~" She winked while draping an arm around his shoulder. "I'll bet I could help make it much MUCH more fun."

"Um, ok, if you say so." Luffy said with a shrug, not quite getting what she was saying. "Well, we better go, I don't want to get married!"

'Marriage can wait, we'll just get straight to the fun~' She thought with a grin right as several more ships sailed into the harbor.

"LUFFY-KUN!"

His head perked up before turning with Marble frowning.

'Not these bitches, I was just about to get him!' She thought as she saw Amande and Smoothie jump onto the dock as the others lowered their anchors and began to lower the ramp. "We should go now Luffy, come on!"

"Good call." He said with a nod. "See you later Amande, Smoothie!"

"Luffy-kun, get back here right now!" Called Smoothie before he took off running with Marble following. "Damn it, the others might be here already, making him skittish."

"Well, then it seems we must go on the hunt as well, the only difference is that we are familiar with how this island works, and they left their tracks in the snow."

"We'll take them out like pigs to the slaughter." Spoke Amande with a cold tone.

"Right, I can't let them take Luffy, especially since he was about to agree to marry ME." Said Smoothie cockily before she began to chase after them.

"He was not!" Pudding called as she walked off the ship as the others began to race after Luffy. 'Damn it, this couldn't get worse!'

"Big Bro katakuri, is that you?!" Flampe called as the older brother groaned.

'...at least it can't get worse for ME.'

"Hello Flampe." He greeted calmly.

"Why are you here, wait, are you after Luffy-kun too?!" She cried in shock.

'I want to say no...but if I say yes she might leave me alone?' He thought as he pondered his answer.

'If he is then my chances to be Luffy-kun's wife will be impossible!' Thought Pudding in fear as they made eye contact as he shook his head no. 'No, he isn't gay, he couldn't be...either way I need to find him now!'

While they scattered off, Compote herself poked her head off the ship and looked around. 'I can't believe I actually came...ok, just play it cool, you're only here to see if you're affected by the jelly then leaving immediately, right?'

Effilee and Angel looked around the forest while keeping their guns ready.

"Alright, so we find Luffy, get to the ship and DON'T shoot each other, got it?" Angel said as Effilee nodded.

"Yeah, then we can work out the minor details later." She said as they shot glares at each other

'I'm going to shoot her to get Luffy!' They both thought before hearing movement in the brush. "Show yourself!" They called as they aimed towards the bush where the movement increased a bit until a flushed Marble came out.

"Woah there, put those things down." She said as she raised her arms. "No need to shoot me, ok?"

"Marble? When did you get here?"

"Just a bit ago, Mondee made me stop to pick up some new clothes so I was late." She grumbled with a frown. "Any luck finding Luffy?"

"No, we haven't seen him anywhere." Groaned Angel. "What about you, any luck?"

"No! I got here late, remember? Though I did see Joscarnope carrying a large bag to the docks."

"Damn it! That cow is gonna get filled with lead." Frowned Effilee.

"I don't think she had him but you can go look, I'm not giving up until I find him!" Marble said with a glare as she mentally grinned.

"Try it and you'll join her." Glared Angel before the two took off running.

'Damn idiots, thinking I'd tell them where he is...well jokes on them, I got him to go into my pant's first~' She thought before yelping when she felt Luffy move around.

"Hey! When are you gonna let me out of here?"

"N-Not yet Luffy-kun, just stay in there and keep close, which way to your safe place again?" She asked with a blush.

"I don't know, it's too dark in here to see." He remarked looking around and poked his head out from the front to look around making Marble blush brighter. "There's hardly any room to move."

"J-Just get back in there, ok? Soon we'll be somewhere they won't find us, ok?" 'Oh man, if I wasn't in such a rush I'd let him go ahead and do oh so much right now~'

"Luffy-kun, Luffy-kun, where are you?" Praline called as Luffy perked up and Marble frowned.

"Oh great, fish butt's here now." She muttered as she tried to shove Luffy's head back in her pants. "Stay quiet Luffy, I'll get rid of her."

"Why? She's pretty nice, she can help us!" He smiled making Marble pale.

"Luffy-"

"Oi Praline!"

"Luffy, stop it, shut up!" She hissed as Praline turned towards them.

"But why?"

"Because….I said so!" She hissed as Praline headed towards them.

"Eh? But that doesn't make any-hey!" He spoke as she tried pushing his head back down.

"Just listen!" She frowned just as Praline reached the area and right as Luffy disappeared in her pants. "Hey Praline, what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing, now where's Luffy-kun?"

"What? Luffy who?" She asked feigning ignorance as Praline floated over with a frown.

"Don't act like an idiot, I heard him over here." She said with a frown. "Luffy-kun, if you show yourself to me I'll give you some jerky~"

"Ooh, I'm here!" He spoke up from the pants, making Marble stiffen up with Praline going wide eyed as time seemed to slow down as her mind put this together.

Her dear Luffy, inside the big pants of her sister, who insulted her earlier, along with her ass and chest, and now being on the same island? All this together lead to one scary reaction.

"YOU BIIIIIITCH!" Roared out Praline so loud her eyes seemingly went completely white as the bubble ring popped and she landed on the ground, only to wind up launching herself at her sister using her tail and knocked her down. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Augh! Calm down you craz- ow! Let go!" She cried as she was knocked down, pinning Luffy as her sister tried her best to kill the blonde. "Shut up you idiot before everyone else h- augh, are you trying to bite me in my jugular?!"

Praline was so focused on her anger she didn't stop and tried clawing at her sister's face, leading to Luffy groaning with the weight on top of him under the pants.

"Hey! What's going on?" He called pushing against it while moving around more making Marble gasp and get flustered.

"L-Luffy, don't push there, at least not right now!" She cried, making her sister roar out in rage once more.

"LUFFY! GET OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE NEXT!" She yelled grabbing the pant and ripped it, exposing the male whose hand wound up grabbing at her crotch and made both girls freeze up with Luffy oblivious.

"I tried, but it was really tight and hard to move." He answered while moving his hand off as Marble's face turned crimson and Praline felt like she just took a huge loss.

"I-It's ok Luffy-kun, they were a bit tight...though now I'm pantsless." She said with a blush.

"Oh, sorry…" he said sheepishly.

"L-Luffy….do you love her more than me?" Praline asked quietly.

"Huh? What do you mean?" He asked before she grabbed him by the vest and started shaking him.

"Do you love this blonde slut more than me, did our time together mean nothing to you?!" She yelled with anger and sadness. "If you were that eager to experiment, you should have told me!"

"I-I do like you though, what did I do wrong?!"

"You touched her spot!"

"On accident, and what spot are you talking about?!" He cried in confusion as Marble frowned.

"Luffy… you know of the birds and the bees, right?"

"What do those have to do with anything?"

"Damn it, calm down Praline, he has no idea what he's doing, no one explained sex to him." She groaned in disappointment as Praline perked up.

"Wait, Luffy-kun, is that true?"

"Um… what exactly is sex?"

'Perfect!' Thought Praline with a grin which Marble saw and frowned.

"Hey, don't go getting any ideas."

"If that's the case Luffy, then I'll show you EVERYTHING that involves it."

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!" Shouted Marble before they heard someone clear their throat behind them.

"Oh Marble, Praline?"

"WHAT?!" They shouted as they turned before paling. 'Oh….shit.'

"Care to explain WHAT you're doing?" Asked Pudding with her arms crossed as all their other sisters were there and around them with frowns, including Compote who tried hiding behind a tree, and Katakuri who stood there calmly, confused, but also irked.

"Um… we can explain?" Said Praline nervously.

'Why were they talking about having sex with that pirate?'

"You lying bitch!" Glared Effilee aiming her pistols. "You were trying to sneak off with that handsome hunk!"

"Really, who?" Asked Luffy in confusion.

"You!" All of them let out, Compote herself which made her eyes widen.

'Oh no, he's hot! Come on, control yourself Compote!'

"Eh?! Me?!"

"Marble, for trying to sneak off with Luffy and seduce him with your...rear, you will be executed." Spoke Amande pulling her sword out.

"W-What?! You're going to kill me for that?!"

"Yes."

"How dare you seduce my future husband!" Yelled Flampe.

"I'm not getting married, and you shouldn't kill your sister!" Luffy said with a frown.

"But Luffy-kun, she doesn't have any pants!"

"Praline tore them off." He said as they face planted.

"Oh god, we're getting another Flampe."

"Hey, it was just because his voice was coming from them, I am not a Siscon!"

"She's right, she's nothing like big butt." Smiled Nutmeg.

"I do not have a big butt, and I am not a siscon!"

"Sorry, should we say Brocon?" Chuckled Akimeg.

"I'm going to make all five of you suffer for that!" She growled.

"I think we're getting off topic, I think we should address the elephant in the room." Said Smoothie with a frown.

"Yeah, like how SOME of us apparently have the hots for the same guy." Spoke Cinnamon while glaring at Brulee. "And how some of them got real dolled up too."

"Um… I might have the answer for that." Compote said with a cough.

"And who are you?" Asked Melise.

"It's me, Compote, and this is technically Momma's doing." She said nervously.

"Compote?!" They all spoke up in surprise, the sisters who weren't there along with Katakuri.

"Yes...she gave me, Montee, Joconde, Effilee, and Brulee berries to make us look better and as for we like Luffy, that is part her fault and part Pudding's."

"Hey! What did I do?" Frowned Pudding.

"You put the jelly I gave you on a cake, you were supposed to eat it on your own." She groaned as Pudding looked confused. "The Jelly was laced with a lust and love drug that would take effect after you saw the first person of the opposite gender, or at least that's what Momma said."

"Hold on, you mean we've all been effected?" Asked Custard with shock. "Is that the whole reason we…"

"Started going after Luffy in the first place? Yes, momma decided having a connection to the revolutionary Dragon was too tempting to pass up, and one of the requirements for him to even think about allying himself with us was for hit to choose one of us willingly."

"Does that mean what we feel for Luffy-kun is...fake?" Asked Prim.

"Well, not exactly, you see the effects should have worn off after two weeks, but as you can see, you're still coming back to the island again and again."

"Which means...what?" Asked Hachee. "You mean to say they're all actually in love? Without that stuff?"

"Yep, and after all this time and no marriage Momma's been getting impatient, she wants the alliance now and decided you weren't up for the task so...she turned to us."

"If I knew it was like that, I would have volunteered willingly." Spoke up Mondee while crossing her arms. "I've been around longer than most of these girls and I never once was considered marriage material, but now I've got a body that'll land me any man."

"Yeah, well look elsewhere, you're drugged and what we feel is real." Said Smoothie with a frown.

"Agreed, I don't like the idea of mother using us like that, but if we all still feel this way, I refuse to give up so easily."Spoke Melise.

"Yeah, and at least now you guys can back off, right? After two weeks you'll be back to normal!" Said Myukuru with a smile.

"...I don't want to go back to normal, I like Luffy." Panna said with a frown. "He's nice, doesn't try to trick me like everyone else and is nice to hug."

"Wait what?" Spoke up Poire in surprise. "Oh come on Panna, you'd like anyone if they let you hug them."

"Yes, but he actually likes them and doesn't use me, and he's cute." She said with a blush.

"Ok, so that's one who is certain, not too bad." Whispered Amande. "And out of all of the potential rivals she's not to bad."

"I want to win Luffy-kun too!" Said Hachee as she stepped forward. "Any pirate who can get a powerful swordsman into his crew shows he's tough, and I like a challenge."

"Hachee, no, this is just an attempt at challenging me again, now stand down." Amande said as she glared at her younger sister.

"Forget it, I'm not quitting and you can't make me."

"Same sister, I personally like the idea of a challenge, drugs or not, a chance to win where you couldn't." Said Effilee with a grin.

"Hell yeah, besides, maybe then I'll have someone who enjoys lemon as much as me." Spoke Angel while looking at Luffy. "You DO like lemons, don't ya?"

"Yeah, Sanji makes lots of stuff with it in them."

"Yes! Oh we are gonna have fun!"

"Hey, don't leave me out of this!" Broye said with a frown. "I will not lose to any of you!"

"Yes you will, unlike you I can actually prove to be an equal, maybe even better." Laughed Brulee.

"Hey hey hey, I don't know what you're talking about drugs and shit, but all I do know is that I want a piece of that fine ass, understand?" Marnier called with a grin.

"Yes, I do feel during this experience me and Luffy's harmonies were synchronized, it would be folly of me to turn away now." Spoke Mozart with Joconde scoffing.

"Please, unlike you two I'm a true warrior." Joconde called with a nod. "If anyone will get Luffy it is me."

"Ha! I'd like to see that shorty." Laughed Joscarnope. "What kind of woman would I be to run away now, I might as well see what he has to offer."

"He already got my pants off, and my hips have a statement to make, so I'm not leaving until he's hooked on them." Spoke up Marble adjusting her hat.

"Damn...so you all intend to vy for him against us?" Prim asked with a frown.

"N-Not me!" spoke up Compote with a blush. "C-Count me out!"

"Works for me, Luffy wouldn't need an old hag anyway." Flampe shrugged, making her older sister stiffen up and turn to her.

"What was that?"

"I mean, why would Luffy-san want to get with an old hag that's probably older than his mother?"

"I'm not even fifty you brat!"

"49 is pretty close though." Said Flampe with a grin.

"Oh please, at least I have breasts!" She grabbed her chest. "Your butt is so big I'm amazed your head hasn't grown with it."

"Told you it was big." Spoke the quintuplets with snickers.

"MY BUTT IS NOT BIG!" She shouted before Katakuri cleared his throat.

"Excuse me, but I think you're all getting distracted, from what I've heard Momma wants this pirate in the family, and if she doesn't see results soon she's just going to keep sending more people, and she's almost out of daughters." He said as they all stiffened. "Now I don't know about you, but I'd rather he doesn't become Momma's next husband or worse, Momma tries to use this jam or jelly you were talking about on me or any of my brothers."

That made all of them pale with horror and cringe before Katakuri turned to Luffy with seriousness.

"You there, I may not know just what kind of pirate you are, but it's clear you'll be part of the family, so pick one of my sisters to marry and end all this."

"Ugh! I can't!" He groaned standing up with a frown. "I can't marry any of them, not while I still have to be ready to meet my nakama back up." He said as he scratched his head. "Also if I marry them then I won't be captain of my ship, I'll be one of Big Mom's pirates, right? I can't be the pirate king if someone is my boss!"

"Then I'll have to fix that." He walked towards Luffy making his sisters break into a nervous sweat.

'Oh god, this won't end well, what is he going to do to Luffy-kun?!'

Luffy found himself picked up by the male who looked him in the eyes.

"You will solve this, now."

"I told you already, no marrying." He frowned.

"I don't care, either chose now or else, this has gone on for THREE months, I am not waiting three more before I am drugged and suddenly want you, I am not going to let that happen!"

He crossed his arms and seemed to think before opening his eyes. "I got it! A contest."

"A contest?" They all said at once in confusion.

"Yeah, and the winner is who I'll choose, but if none win, then no marriage."

Katakuri felt his eye twitch and clenched his free hand. 'Maybe knocking this pirate around until he passes out would be easier, it won't take much effort.' He thought as he shook his head. 'I doubt anyone would be mad, he is truly stupid if he thinks anyone is going to agree to this idea.'

"Brother Katakuri wait!" Spoke up Custard. "Let's just hear this out."

"Yeah, what kind of contest Luffy-kun, maybe a cooking one?" Pudding asked with a grin.

"Stamina." He remarked bluntly.

"S-Stamina?" Asked Galette as she began to blush.

"Yeah, I'm always training and you all come by, so maybe we can see which of us can outlast the others the most." He remarked with most of them getting blushes and images in their heads with Katakuri getting annoyed.

"I'm going to hit you now." He said as he reared back his fist only for Smoothie to grab it.

"Wait brother, I say we give this a try, none of us here seem to be opposed."

"Smoothie. You and I both know what you're thinking regarding stamina and what he's thinking are two very different things." He remarked bluntly with annoyance with Smoothie blushing. "Doing something like that before marriage will-"

"I don't mind, if that's what Luffy wants to do to decide then it's ok!" Called Amande as she cleared her throat. "Besides, it might also make the fact that the others will lose horribly easier to take and reduce the chances of affairs/kidnappings after the marriage?"

Katakuri let out a sigh seeing several of them nod. "Alright fine, but just be careful, otherwise momma won't be happy."

"Ok, dibs on going first!" Joconde called with a grin.

"I'm going back to the ship." Muttered Katakuri walking away while the sisters argued over who would go first. 'I better go build a soundproof room soon, hearing their 'endurance contest' is the last thing I want to do.'

Luffy himself was confused and tilted their head as they argued while some even shoving others away before finding himself tackled by Mondee.

"I'm gonna show you what this body can do big boy~" She purred removing her clothes.

"Eh?" He blinked confused.

(Later)

'Ah, this is better.' Thought Katakuri sitting on a chair while surrounded by a house of mochi. 'I can't hear a single thing going on.'

Knock knock

'Oh god, please don't let it be Pudding asking for mochi for the contest.' He thought as he opened it up to see Luffy panting with several bite marks, hickies and lipstick marks on his face only wearing a very torn pair of shorts.

"Hey...can I hide here?"

"...I can't answer that." He remarked before closing the door. 'Oh god, the images!'

"Please, they're relentless, they never give up, I just want to sleep and eat something that hasn't been on them!"

'Crap, if the door isn't sound proof then it's not perfect.' Thought Katakuri with a sigh before opening the door. "Fine, but if you breath one word of what happened, I'm throwing you in the sea."

"Deal!" He said as he rushed in as Katakuri closed the door. "Wooh, that's a relief, night." He spoke before falling on his stomach and passed out making Katakuri sweatdrop.

'I feel like strangling him even more so now.' He thought as he made a hammock of mochi and lied down in it. 'I can't believe this idiot is going to marry into the family.

"Come on, he went this way, Luffy-kun, where are you?!"

"I can still go for another round, so don't count me out!"

"Luffy-kun, where are you, we just want to continue the contest~"

"I can outlast all these plebeians, now come out!"

"Hey, is that big bro's mochi house, maybe he knows where Luffy-kun is!"

Katakuri tried to ignore the pounding on the door while glaring at the sleeping Luffy. 'This pirate is more annoying than Flampe.'

(Omake)

Eventually after that big 'contest', things seemed to return to normal as Big Mom herself was in the dark about what happened, but when one of her informants mentioned a possible 'early honeymoon', she took it as a good sign.

"Good, good, I better tell Dragon that his son chose one of my daughters, for a second I was thinking I'd have to send in my boys." She chuckled before a news coo flew in and dropped off a paper and a letter. "Ah, seems like he read my mind." She chuckled before opening the letter. "Huh, it's from Smoothie?" She said as she began to read it.

Dear Momma, I've written to you to tell you that we've made our choice about Luffy-kun, I know it is a bit weird, but we all love him and we decided that we're not leaving him. We held a contest to see who should get the rights to marry him and somehow Luffy-kun lost, so after a few days of fighting we settled that we were all winners and would marry him. We also realized that he would never agree to marry us if we were part of your crew so it is with heavy hearts that we all formally resign from your crew to Join Luffy-kun's.

Big Mom was silent with her hair shadowing her eyes as the camera panned away before a loud roar that shook the islands was heard making the citizens turn with fear before promptly seeing the yonko burst out of her castle and looking LIVID. "THAT SON OF A BITCH, HE'S STOLEN HALF MY FAMILY FROM ME!"

"Oh god, Big Mom's gone on a rampage again!"

"Quick! Someone get the chefs baking!"

"Run for the hills!" They cried as we pan over to one of Big mom's ships heading to sabaody archipelago.

"So let me get this straight….Luffy passed out first so you all decided YOU were the winners and now you're leaving the crew to marry him?"

"Yup." Spoke Panna hugging Luffy while all the girls surrounded the man who was still sleeping.

Katakuri let out a groan and dropped his head down. "I know this is gonna be pointless to try and stop, so I'm just going to go with it."

"You want to Marry Luffy-kun to?" Asked Panna as she tilted her head.

"God no, but someone has to remain their sanity here and obviously none of you will, plus if I go home now things will be in chaos and I'd rather avoid that."

"So you're going to leave momma too?" Asked Brulee.

"Yes, because I can guarantee you she's going to try to send people to either bring you back to be killed or just kill you for this and I'd rather not hunt down my family." He answered crossing his arms. "That, and I want to see just what this guy can really do and see if he's really worth all the trouble."

"Yay, thank you big bro Katakuri!" Cried Flampe as she tried to tackle hug him only for him to catch her with one hand.

"No hugging or touching me until you all clean yourselves off."

That got some of them to chuckle embarrassed while Luffy grumbled in his sleep while hugging Panna and Praline closer.
