Galette, Poire, and Luffy

Series: One Piece

"You wanted to see us Momma?" Asked Poire as she and her twin Galette walked into Big Mom's room where said woman was just finishing up her latest snack.

"Yes, I need you two to run an errand for me~" she grinned, which made the two girls get a bad feeling.

"What sort of errand?" asked Poire.

"Just a simple assassination mission, I need you to kill an upstart for me."

"Easy as all the others. Who is it?" asked Galette.

"Monkey D Luffy." She growled angrily.

"That little brat has the balls to tell me he ate MY candy!" She roared, making both girls pale.

'He ate her candy and then told her he did it?! Does that idiot have a death wish?'

'That fool is either cocky or incredibly dense on who he's talking to.'

"To add even more insult he also claimed that he would take fish an island from me!" She growled making the twins pale and sweat even more. "That little shit needs to know what happens when you try to take from ME!"

"G-Got it Momma, we'll make sure he pays!"

"We'll make sure he suffers too!"

"Good, and make sure his crew suffers as well, they'll think twice before messing with me again!"

"Yes Momma!" They both called before running out of the room.

(Later)

"Ok, we have enough men, a big ship, and a poster of this guy. Anything else?" asked Poire.

"Knowledge on where he is? All we know is that he was leaving fishman island, that means we have no idea where he is now!"

"That was your job to find out!"

"And how am I supposed to do that?! He's in the new world, fresh from fish man island, he could be anywhere!"

"You're better at that than me! I got all the rest together so you should pull your own weight!"

"You're the one with the contacts!"

"I got the ship, you get his location, this was the deal!"

Both of them glared at the other while one of the men walked over nervously.

"Um, ma'ams? The ship is ready to go... do we have a heading?"

"NO!" They shouted in annoyance.

"Damn it Poire, how are we supposed to find him now?"

"I don't know!"

"Uh, ma'am?"

"What?" She snapped in anger.

"W-Well I wanted to tell you t-that we recently heard tell of...where the target might be."

"What?! Why didn't you tell us sooner!?"

"Go on, tell us!"

"W-We last saw him making his way towards a small island for supplies, it's in a small area that's always calm this time of the year with no marine ships in sight. It's just on the edge of Big Mom's territory too."

"Really? That's perfect, we're going there immediately!"

"Make sure every one of the cannons are loaded up and ready." Added Poire as the man nodded before running off to alert the crew.

"We'll need to deal with that supernova as quietly as we can." frowned Galette. "If his crew gets involved we won't make any progress, then Momma will want our heads."

"Right, so let's focus on him first then deal with them."

And so the ship began to set sail.

(With the Strawhats)

"Namiiiiii, I'm bored, when are we gonna get to the boring island?" Pouted Luffy with a frown.

"We're almost there, and just because I made you choose the least chaotic one doesn't mean it's boring!" She huffed with her arms crossed. "This one is way more easy going, as long as we don't cause trouble."

"That reminds me, just what is the name of this island again?" Asked Usopp.

"Bartero, it's a decent sized island that isn't affiliated with the world government so there shouldn't be any marines here." She replied leaning against the railing. "We can restock up on supplies and thanks to my budget plan, we have some spare beri on hand to buy some stuff we want."

"Eh? You're actually giving us some of the money we have instead of hoarding it?" Zoro asked as he opened his one eye. "Something smells fishy here."

"Well you need money on this island, and Robin told me to share it." Pouted Nami with a frown. "According to my books this island is centered around trading, bartering, and consumerism. In short the entire island is a giant bazaar, nothing is outlawed her and everything is for sale, even people."

"Nani?" Spoke Chopper with shock. "You mean, like the auction house?"

"Yes, except here it's treated as more normal than there. If you can get your hands on it and find someone who wants it, you can sell it there." She said as she shook her head. "Here you can pay for yourself if you want to avoid the auction block, plus you can get away with beating anyone up who tries to drag you to one."

"Already on my mind if they try that." Smirked Zoro with Brook rubbing his chin.

"I wonder what kind of instruments they sell, I've been meaning to find a replacement for my violin, it's been getting worn down and I can't repair it any further."

"I'm sure you can find a replacement, and before you ask Luffy, yes, they do sell all kinds of meat."

"Yes!" He pumped his fist up. "Maybe this place won't be so boring after all."

"Don't go nuts, last thing we want is someone trying to sell the sunny to pay off your tab."

"Maybe they'll have some parts I could get for it." Smiled Franky. "If they sell anything you need, then I can get this ship going way faster and stronger."

"Yep, this island is going to be a refreshing change from our usual insanity, so just relax." Nami said with a smile.

The ship kept on it's way while unaware of a few other ships several miles away going in their direction.

"Are you positive they'll be here?" Asked Galette as she and Poie began to load themselves into a row boat.

"Yes ma'am, we've triple checked it all. They're going to the island, no doubt."

"Good, you all stay out here, me and my sister will head in on the row boat disguised as traders, the last thing we want is to tip off Strawhat that we're on the island."

"If we need any back up we'll send out a call over the den den mushi."

"Understood, please call us if you run into any trouble."

Poire and Galette waited till the boat was in the water before they began to row across the water while having brown cloaks over their forms.

"So, any ideas on how to torture this guy?" Poire asked casually.

"From what we know his body is made of rubber, so I came to the idea of us tying him to several sea kings by his limbs and seeing just how far he can stretch before he breaks."

"Nice, but then he might end up in the water and die too quickly, I was thinking of tying him to a spit and roasting him over a fire and see if he melts." Grinned Poire. "Imagine how much pain he'd be in with his flesh melting off his bones."

"Ooh, nice, I wonder if he'll just melt off the spit what with his whole body being rubber, maybe we can melt him and pour him into a candy mold and feed him to momma, make a nice piece of gum out of him." Smirked Galette darkly. "We could take pictures and send it out as posters to show just what momma is willing to do with those who anger her."

"That's disgusting, nightmare inducing, and horrifying, perfect." Chuckled Poire. "I could even sell tickets to some of the nastiest bastards in the underworld, they'd pay good money to see that in person."

"Good call, hell let's throw a tea party for it so all the big wigs get to see it personally, driving home the fact that you do not to fuck with Mama."

"Yeah, but what do we do with his crew?"

"Make them watch."

"Then let's kill them all except one so they call tell everyone what they saw."

"Then we have our plan." She said as they got closer and closer to shore. "Now let's go take him out."

(Later)

The sunny finally made it to port where numerous ships surrounded the island of all sizes and shape.

"Whhhoooaaa! This place looks huge! There's so many streets!" Luffy called in amazement, looking at the large town.

"I can't see any houses." Spoke Usopp looking around. "It's like the whole island is one big market."

"That's because it is, the citizens sleep in their stalls, and the streets are just there to help separate the different stalls and shops and make shopping easier." Spoke Nami while looking at a sign with a map on it. "You can use these maps around the island to keep from getting lost and find what you're looking for."

"Are you sure? This thing looks more like a labyrinth than a map." Usopp said with a frown. "Maybe we should go to some other island to get supplies."

"Nonsense, we already docked, let's go and have a SUPER time!" Declared Franky with enthusiasm.

"Besides, with how low we're running on food, who knows how far the next island is." Spoke Sanji. "I kinda wanna see what kind of food they sell, then I can make a dinner worthy of Nami-chwan and Robin-chwan!" He swooned with hearts in his eyes to the two women making Robin chuckle.

"I'm curious to learn what led this island to become a large market, it might be an interesting experience."

"I'll just stay on the ship." Spoke up Chopper nervously. "Y-You never know what kind of pirates are around here wanting to try and snatch a good ship up."

"Aw come on, no ones gonna try to take the sunny, she's too SUPER to be stolen!" Franky cheered.

"Besides, according to my book the people on the island don't try to steal and sell random boats anymore since they once tried to sell whitebeard's ship and he almost destroyed their island in retaliation." Spoke Nami with Luffy looking left and right.

"Where do we start?"

"Well after I give everyone some beri, you can follow the maps to areas on the island with stalls that sell stuff you might be interested in."

"And how much are you going to give us exactly?" Zoro asked as he got up.

"Plenty of course."

"Depends on your definition of plenty." He said with a frown. "We just got money from that navy ship that tried to attack us, I'd say you have enough for about… ten million each at the very least, though I think fifty million would be fair."

Nami felt her eye twitch at that and closed her eyes with a huff. "Yes, but I was gonna give everyone half of that because I don't want us to blow it all at once."

"Why, we're pirates, we all get a share of the treasure, you can't just horde it all for a rainy day, ten percent goes to saving for emergencies and the rest should be split among us."

"Because I'm worried what Luffy is gonna buy with that much."

"...fair point, but as captain he does get more, and would you rather he have to much money or not enough?" Zoro challenged as they glared at each other.

The others were silent as the two stared each other down before Nami huffed and crossed her arms.

"Fine, I'll let us have fifty million each to get what we want, BUT, if Luffy gets a bunch of stuff that takes up so much space it won't fit on the sunny, don't say I didn't warn you."

"This is Luffy we're talking about, anything he'll buy he'll eat." Zoro said with a smirk. "Right Luffy?"

"Huh? What did you say?" He asked looking at him before going back to the map. "Hmm, now where's that food part again?"

"Ugh, just look on the map, here's your cut." Nami said as she tossed him a bag full of cash. "Be back here when you run out or are ready to come back."

"You got it!" He nodded before he went running down one of the paths and past numerous people as Nami handed bags to the others. "Foooood!" he cried as he raced off as the rest of the crew began to disperse.

"I'll be right here!" Called Chopper to the others while sighing in relief and leaned against the railing. 'There's no way I'm taking the chance to get bought like some stuffed animal.' He thought as he shook his head. 'Besides, I need to take inventory, I still have enough medical supplies ...right?' He thought as his mind drifted off to all the bandages he used on Sanji, Zoro and Luffy on their travels. He looked at the island with a nervous gulp before clenching his hooves and ran to the ramp. "Nami wait up!"

Meanwhile the two daughter of Big Mom had landed on shore. They tied the boat off and made their way to the main street while trying to keep from bumping into people as the streets were crowded and lined up with all manner of buyers and sellers.

"Ok, so where do you think Strawhat is gonna be?"

"Hard to say, we'd need to find some kind of map to tell us the main places around this island."

"Fresh sea king! Fresh sea king! Just caught today!"

"Come one come all! You want swords? I can give you swords of all shapes and sizes! Cheap too!"

"Pelts, fresh exotic animal pelts from the far reaches of the world, from all the blues and from the grandline, you won't find finer pelts anywhere else!"

"Ooh! Pelts!" Poire perked up and moved over making Galette stop with annoyance. "What sort of exotic animals?"

"Tigers, lions and strange multi headed animals, why right here I have the pelt from a two headed eight legged green leopard that had twelve tails!" He smiled reaching under the counter and holding the pelt up with Poire looking interested. "Go ahead and give it a feel."

"Poire, come on, we don't have time for this."

"Wow, so smooth and silky soft." She spoke feeling the fur. "How much for it?"

"1.5 million Beri, and if you get it now I'll throw in two smaller more common pelts for free."

"Poire, forget the pelts." Frowned Galette walking over. "We're busy and need to focus."

"Oh come on, you have your stupid herb butter and I have this, besides Strawhat isn't going anywhere." She retorted before pulling out a sac from the cloak and handed it to the man. "I'll take them."

"Great, would you like a bag or sack for them or do you have one?" He asked before a small figure darted towards them from the street and grabbed the bag from Poire's grip.

"Hey!" She yelled seeing the figure rushing through the crowd. "Give that back you little thief!"

"After him!" Galette cried as the shopkeeper sighed.

"I'll put the pelts aside for you in case you come back!" He called as the two woman took off after the figure who chuckled.

"Suckers, waving their purses around like dumbasses." He muttered while glancing back. "They'll never-what the hell?!" He cried out seeing the two jumping over the people and crowd and spotting him.

"You're gonna get it for trying to rip me off!" Roared out Poire with her teeth on clear display before she brought out a sword.

"Holy shit!" The figure cried as he began to fumble around their coat for something as the twins got closer and closer. He managed to hold something in his hand, but the next thing he knew he found his feet falling out from under him, due to butter forming around with him skidding on his face and groaning from the sensation before finding a foot slamming on his back making him cry out.

"Give me my money, or I'll be getting a new pelt here and now." Spoke Poire holding her sword near his face.

"O-Ok, ok! Just give me a second." he groaned as he pulled out what looked like an orange pea pod before throwing it at them with it splitting open mid air as an orange pea with swirls on it flew straight towards them.

The twins had their mouths open as they came over, leading to the peas going down their throats forcing them to swallow and cough before Poire stepped harder on the mads back.

"What the hell was that, what did you just make us eat?!"

"Ugh...devil….fruit… twin monster….albino." He groaned out.

"What the hell, a devil fruit?! You bastard, I already ate one, you just killed me!" Snapped Galette moving over and yanking him up to her face and slammed her fist into his gut, making him cough and wheeze. "A person can't eat more than one!"

The man tried to say something, but went limp and groaned.

"I'm gonna carve his face right off." Growled Poire, only to see two large men in black suits walk over.

"That's enough ma'ams, we'll take it from here."

"Like hell, this thief just killed my sister, he force fed her and me a devil fruit!"

"We understand people like him give others trouble by thinking they can get away with petty thievery, but that's why we're here. We're in charge of punishing anyone who would stir up trouble. But make no mistake, we're no marines. Unlike them, we make sure the problems are taken care of permanently."

"Good, but what about me, I ate a second devil fruit, I'm gonna explode!"

"Hmmm, did he say anything about it, anything special?"

"No! He just said something about albino and monsters and what not!"

"Ah...ok, you two are gonna want to come with us, but you're not in trouble, and you're not dying."

"Bullshit!" Snapped Poire with her sword to the man's neck. "This little midget is gonna know just what we do to thieves, the slow and painful way."

"What my partner means is that we can show you someone on the island who can better explain." Spoke the second man. "All we ask is that you follow us and let us deal with this bastard. It's kind of our job and if we don't instill a little fear around here, it affects our pay."

"Poire… let's go, we have nothing to lose, and if I'm gonna explode I wanna do it in private." Galette said solemnly.

"Agin, not dying, just come with us before you both collapse and the change begins."

Poire looked at them, the man with anger, and her sister with sadness before huffing and threw the man to the two who caught him. "Fine, but make it quick."

"Good, come with us." He said as he began to lead them towards what looked like an old japanese castle in the middle of town.

The twins did so while any of the people in the crowd who stopped and stared went back to their shopping like nothing happened.

Soon they reached the tower as the twins began to feel strange. They saw the castle had numerous guards around it, but kept following the two guards to what looked like an old man with closed eyes, a long beard, and was sipping some tea with tiny glasses.

"Excuse us boss, but we brought so-"

"Hush." Spoke the old man before taking a long sip of the drink and sighed. "Much better. I never talk business without a nice gulp of fresh tea. Now then, you were saying?"

"Yes, well, we caught the thief who stole the albino devil fruits, but not before he used them on these two, and one was already a fruit user."

"Oh really? Well just who are the poor saps who-" The man stopped when he saw the two women before dropping his cup and stood up before clearing his throat and smooth his beard out. "Apologies ladies, I had no idea my guests were two beautiful young women."

'Oh god, he's a pervert.' they both thought with sweat drops.

"Look, these guys said that you can keep me from dying or something, so lets hear it."

"Oh, well are you the devil fruit user?"

"Yes."

"Well then you don't need to worry my dear, you'll be ok." He spoke bluntly. "Would either of you like something to drink?"

"Whoa whoa whoa, back the fuck up, what do you mean I'll be fine, I just ate a second devil fruit! I'm gonna explode!"

"No, you ate an ALBINO devil fruit, one of the rarest types." He spoke walking over to them and looked at her in the eye. "A long time ago, when I was a small lad, these devil fruits, which could be considered a minor category of them, were discovered. They're called albino because they're the only devil fruits that can be eaten by someone with a regular devil fruit, and because they only appear every hundred or so years. In short, you can still eat one and NOT explode, but there's a downside to them. You see these devil fruits give off random powers and abilities that no one can predict. It's why they're rare, and because no one hardly talks about them. To ones wanting great power, they might get the complete opposite and not get anything of note worthy or anything to brag about."

"Really? Like what, even the most useless devil fruit can still be useful."

"Well, sometimes the fruits turn people into monsters, when I was young, I saw a man eat one and turn into a blob of flesh that could barely move, not quite useful if I do say so myself." He chuckled as the sisters paled. "The changes should start soon, would you like to wait here for them to happen?"

"Wait, so there's really no telling what we might get?" Asked Poire. "Don't you have some kind of book that can tell us? I think I saw something on them before I swallowed."

"Well, we do have an old book, but I must warn you the records aren't very scientific, most are classified as 'monsters'." He said as he pulled an old beaten book from his robes. "Have a look see and tell me if you find anything familiar in it."

"Thank you." Galette said as she grabbed the book as she and Poire began to rapidly flip through it, shuddering at some of the illustrations.

"Is this a wagon wheel with an ox's head?!"

"Oh god, a kappa?"

"Wait, this one looks cool, a kitsune."

"Whoa, check out this spider one, do you think I'll turn into that?"

"Pay attention Poire...hey, that one looks like the one I swallowed!"

"Yeah it is!" Said Poire with a grin. "Hey, this says it's one of two, a twin devil fruit, I must have eaten the twin!"

"Hmm, I know the one you mean." Nodded the old man. "Well it's not exactly a truly outstanding pair, but they're not exactly hard and terrible to work with."

"Ok, so what is it? I don't see any pictures or description."

"That twin fruit is known as the Nukekubi and Rokurokubi fruits. Tell me, which of you feels like your head is feeling off, and which one feels like their neck is killing them?"

"Well my head does feel like I'm getting a headache." Pointed out Poire while Galette rubbed her neck.

"Mine feels really sore, why? Is that the devil fruit, sore necks?"

"Well not to worry. It just means your sister here will have her head falling off, and your neck will stretch out." Remarked the old man.

"...WHAT?!" They cried out in horror. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!"

"It's what I meant. How is that so shocking?" He asked he tilted his head. "It's not even that bad, it's just your neck."

"My neck being stretched out is hardly useful! What good is that in a battle? Looking at them from higher up?"

"And my head is gonna fall off!" Cried Poire holding her head with anime tears. "I don't wanna be headless!"

"Well not quite. You can keep your head on with enough focus. And your sister can keep her neck short, but it requires much focus." He said with a shrug. "I never said any of these powers would be useful in battle, did I? Oh, and did I mention the mind warping?"

"Mind what?" Spoke Galette in unease before groaning as she held her neck which began to slowly stretch up with Poire yelping as she held her head.

"Yes, the devil fruits change it's users both mentally and physically, and this fruit is no exception, and I'm afraid your minds might not be the same once the change is complete."

"Ahh!" cried out Poire. "My head! It feels like it's spli-AHHH!" She let out as her head popped off it's body and floated in the air before she blinked and sighed. "Huh, it feels much be-WAAAHHH!" She let out when she turned to her sister and saw Galette's neck was much longer and stretched up in the air with a curve to it.

"Oh no, this doesn't feel right, why does it feel like my neck could stretch out MORE?!" Cried the long necked woman in confusion.

"Because it can, now I'm afraid you can't use your devil fruit when your neck is this long, the fruits don't mix well enough for that to work." Spoke the old man as Poire's head floated there with her body reaching around and grabbed it to try and keep it on her body. "You must focus as hard as you can if you want to keep your bodies from going out of control like that."

"Easy for you to say, how are we supposed to do that?!"

"Well judging by your faces, I would think two of Big Mom's daughters had enough willpower to keep calm in a situation like this." He said, making them both freeze. "What? Did you not think I would realize you were her children?"

Galette let out a sigh and closed her eyes. "We merely came here to find someone for our momma, that's it."

"As long as it doesn't affect the business for everyone else on the island, I don't care who you look for. Although I wouldn't mind if it was me." He chuckled to himself with a smile. "In fact to make up for the trouble that has happened let me offer you two these Kimonos."

The women saw two guards walk over with two kimonos of magenta and lavender color.

"Oh, thank you but we really couldn't…"

"Please, I insist." he nodded. "They're made of some of the finest material around this island."

"Well...I guess it couldn't hurt, right?" Spoke Poire with her sister sighing.

"Fine, we'll accept them."

"Great, and I assure you that your soon to be husband will love them."

"...WHAT?!"

"Hmmm? Is that not why you're here? I guessed it was either to get a man your mother wanted you to marry or to capture them for punishment, did I choose wrong?"

"Yes!" Yelled Galette with her neck bending and making her stumble from the weight. "W-Woah, woah!"

"Watch it!" Spoke Poire stepping back and holding her head. "I don't want my head to go flying, and we're doing it to make the bastard pay!"

"Right, let's get him then figure out these damn fruits."

"Ok, you can change here before leaving if you wish."

"We'll change after we've been successful in making that strawhat suffer." Growled Poire as she and her sister stood up and tried to leave, though with much difficulty with their disembodied head and long neck.

"I give you two the best of luck." Said the man with a nod. 'I hope they don't accidentally kill themselves, though I wonder when the mind change will happen?'

"Damn it, stay on!" Groaned Poire as her head kept gloating up when she let go instead of staying attached.

"Hey, how are you controlling your body with your head not attached?"

"I have no idea! It's like it refuses to stay on!" She groaned. "I really hope my head doesn't float away."

"Well right now it's taking all I have to keep from falling over and tripping over my own neck."

"Ugh, how are we supposed to even find Strawhat like this, let alone torture him?!" Growled Poire as Galette closed her eyes and tried to focus on making her neck shrink. "He'll see us coming a mile away on this island."

"Damn it, you're right, and now that stupid headache is back!" Growled Galette as her neck slowly began to shrink down, but not by much.

"Yeah, I got one too, I mean I got a floating head and your neck is as long as a giraffe, there's no way he'll miss us." Growled Poire as they reached the crowd of the streets and walked down a random direction. "We'd be lucky if he was too busy and didn't see us, but what are the chances of that?"

"MEAAATTTTTT!"

The twins turned their heads and saw someone running down the street before barreling right past them while lugging a big bag on his back and over to a stall before they realized they were in an area with nothing but food stalls.

"Hey….was that…"

"No, it couldn't be…"

Both of them shook their heads while Luffy drooled at the shichkabs being cooked on the grill right on the counter.

"Mmmm, sea king kabobs~"

"Hey there pal, you look like you could go for some." Smiled the man behind the grill.

"Yeah, I'll take them all!"

"You got it, I'll get them ready in a minute."

"Yes! I love this island!" He cheered while Galette and Poire looked at the man in shock.

"THAT is the guy we came here to make suffer?" Poire cried out in disbelief. "This idiot challenged Mama?!"

"At least we were right on one thing, he really is an idiot." Spoke Galette.

"Yeah, but still, he's the reason we're here and ended up eating those fruits?!" Growled the girl. "He looks like someone who'd kill himself diving head first into shark infested waters!"

"Well, either way we have to take him out, so lets get to it." Galette said, only for her to momentarily lose control as her neck grew another two feet. "Damn it!"

"With you all wobbly I better do it." Sighed Poire making her way through the crowd. "I'll just give him a good stab to the back to make him bleed out, that'll make things easier to get him to the ship."

"Right, I'll wait here for you." Galette groaned as she began to focus on making her neck small again. 'Damn it, thank god none of our other siblings are here to see me like this.'

'I have to be quick when I stab him. I'll use one hand to do it and then grab my head before it goes flying up.' She thought as she pulled her knife out as she got closer and closer. She used one hand on her face to push her head down with Luffy's back in sight with him staring at the meat kebabs with hunger. 'This is so easy I almost feel pity for him, almost.' She thought as she plunged down her knife, only for him to shift just a bit so her knife impacted his large sack of meat, ripping a hole in it and causing a few pieces to fly out of the tightly packed bag and land on her, covering her in meat and meat juice. "Blec!"

Galette shook her head while her neck got a more manageable length and made her way over. 'I need to lend a hand or else that rookie will spot her.' She thought as she pushed through the crowd towards her floundering twin who was having difficulty holding her head.

"The damn juice is in my eyes." She hissed as quietly as she could while it was making her fingers having a hard thing gripping the pelt hat on her, thereby making it hard for her to keep a firm grip on it. 'Come on, why won't my head just stay on my body, I have to kill this idiot before he figures out what's going on!'

"Meeeaattt." Muttered Luffy licking his lips.

"Hold on pal, I'm almost done, there's enough for you and your lady friend there."

Luffy looked at him confused by that as Galette reached Poire and had her own sword out.

"I'll take care of him, just be ready to move when I do." She whispered moving to Luffy with Poire growling and tried clenching her hands together over her head, but the juice coming off her made some nearby dogs look and walk over before sniffing her.

'I can't wait until he's dead!' She thought as the dogs looked at her and licked their lips before charging at her. "Huh? Hey, wait no! Stay back!" She cried as they jumped on her, making her finally lose grip of her head. Though due to her unique choice of headwear and the meat juice combined made the head look a lot like a delicious smelling chew toys to the dogs, one of which jumped up and bit the hat before it began to move away.."Hey! Let go of me you mangy mutt!"

"Huh? Wait, Poire! Hold on, I'll help!" Galette cried as she saw her sister's predicament. The sudden change in focus made her neck start to stretch as she ran after her with Poire's body reaching in the direction the head was, with the dogs knocking it down and licking up the juice on it.

"Ah! Hey, stop it!" Cried the head, feeling the tongues on her body. "Galette, help!"

"I'm coming!" She called as the dog took off running with her behind it with Luffy turning his head with confusion.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Looks like your girl's a dog person." Chuckled the cook with the body swarmed by so many dogs they couldn't see the lack of a head.

"Eh? I don't know her, does she need some help?" Asked Luffy before the cook set a large bag of kebabs on the counter making him turn with a smile. "Finally!"

"Enjoy, hope you enjoy some of the other places around here. I know a guy who makes killer udon noodles just a few stalls over, but they're a bit pricey."

"Eh, that's ok, I got plenty of money!" He cheered happily as the dogs smelled the kebabs and the meat sack. "Whooohooo, I love this island!" He cheered. He started jogging away, not noticing the meat falling out from his sac with the dogs running over and started dining in while Poire's body sat there and stood up, causing a few people nearby to go wide eyed and calmly walk away from it while others seemed indifferent.

It brushed itself off before 'looking' down and saw the ruined clothes it was in. It then looked around, not sensing it's head near it and scratched its neck in confusion.

"Hey, something's weird." Spoke Poire feeling the connection to her body feeling tingly. "Galette get me out of this damn dog's mouth!"

"I'm trying, but I'm having my own issues over here!" She called as she tried to keep up with her sister, but her neck just kept growing and growing. She gritted her teeth and focused on not tripping or falling over due to the off balance before holding her hand out and tried to make butter in the way, but the dog easily jumped over a pool of it before turning a corner. "Get back here you mutt!" She cried as she tried to make the butter in front of her move away, but felt her powers waver and ended up slipping on it and fell into it, covering herself in it. "Fuck!"

Poire groaned and tried to turn to the dog with a glare. "If you don't let me go right now and get your slimy teeth OFF my favorite pelt, I'm gonna make you into one!"

This made the dog stop in confusion before it decided it was far enough away from the others and began to shake the 'chew toy' around.

"Waaaaaaaa!" Poire cried out from the shaking. "Stoooopppp!"

"Poire!" Galette cried as she pushed herself up before lunging at the dog, managing to get both it and her sisters head. "Haha! Got you!" She laughed only for the dog to start sliding out of her grip due to the butter. "No no no! Stop sliding!"

"Get this dog off me!"

"I'm trying!" She cried as she used both hands to grab her sisters head, leading to a tug of war between her and the dog.

The dog growled and get it's grip on the ear of the pelt and shook its head while tugging.

"Hey! If I have to sew that back on I'm gonna let my little sister turn you into a pincushion!" Yelled Poire.

"Poire, that stupid hat has tears, meat juice, and dog slobber on it, it's already ruined, now hold still!"

"Screw you it's my favorite!" snapped Poire before hearing a tear and went wide eyed before the ear was torn off, leading to her head flying into Galette's arms who nearly stumbled back and fell over. "Ah...ah...ah.."

"There, now scram." Slared Galette to the dog while using a bit of haki that made the dog whimper and run away. "Much better, now we can-"

"AHHHHHH!" Cried Poire as she began to struggle in her sister's grip. "It has my ear, MY EAR! Go after it and make it PAY!"

"Poire, calm down!"

"I'll calm down when I get that ear back!" She yelled as the butter on Galette's hands made her sister's head start to slip away. "Come on, we have to get back to hunting down Straw Hat and...oh shit, your body! I left it there with him!"

"YOU WHAT?!" Screamed Poire as her head came loose and rolled in the air before righting itself and growled. "Damn it! Who knows what could be happening!" She groaned before stiffening. "...I feel wet...and not my head, why is my body wet?!"

With said body it was lowering itself into a bath in order to get off the meat juices.

"I don't know!" Frowned Galette whose neck had gotten longer and was dangling over a little making her grab it and try to lift it up. "We need to go back and get it!"

"Right, and then you need to change, you're soaked in butter." Muttered Poire with a frown.

"Shut up chew toy, just lead us to your body." Huffed the redhead.

"...how?"

"What do you mean how? Just float back to it."

"I mean HOW?" asked Poire floating over. "I can barely feel it."

"You just said it felt wet."

"Yeah, I can feel that, but what I mean is that I can't feel where it is. It feels like I'm trying to speak in through a den den mushi with bad reception and just getting back bits and pieces without a clear idea on it's exact location."

"... then how are we supposed to find it?!"

"I don't know, just uh… just try taking me back to where straw hat was, maybe it's close to there?"

Galette groaned and would have facepalmed if her head was close. "Fine, just try not to float away."

"Shut up long neck, I'm doing my best here." She growled. "Let's just get back before a creep tries to do something weird with my body."

The two turned and went back the way they came while over at a weapon stall showed Zoro currently looking over some of the items. "Hmmm, not bad, do you have any other sword maintenance kits?"

"Sure, here is our delux one with several sword polishers, each guaranteed to remove all blood on the blade." Smiled the man putting a case on the counter and opened it up. "And when I mean all blood, I mean ALL kind."

"Hmmm, good, good, how much?" He asked as the sisters wandered out of ear shot. As they kept walking Poire's body exited the bath house, now clad in the kimono that the old man had given her earlier.

It 'looked' down at itself and felt refreshed and clean before it went the opposite direction. It 'looked' around as it kept walking, unknowingly getting farther from it's head. As such it walked past Brook who was looking at some of the instruments behind glass casing in one stall with intrigue.

"Interesting, I haven't seen workmanship like this since I had eyes. Skull joke, yohohohoho!"

"Yes sir, these here are some of the finest instruments this side of the grand line." Remarked the man behind the counter. "The only kind that could come close are locked up in boring museums for all to see, for free. Now that just ain't right."

"Yes, instruments were made to be used, not stared at like art." Remarked Brook looking at a guitar in another case. "How much are some of these?"

"Twenty million each, do you have the money for it?"

"Of course, it's a bit embarrassing to go shopping without any money, I'm just trying to see which one really speaks to me."

"Great, I'll get it for you once you pay me." He said with a smile as the body kept moving. It wandered past a stall that had numerous books on shelves with Robin already holding some in her arms while looking at another one.

"Hmmm, very interesting, so the founders first bought the island on a loan and began to sell things to make their money back, interesting." She remarked before walking over to the lady and put the books down. "I'd like to purchase these."

"Of course, and did you know about the buy three get two three deal?" She asked as Robin's eyes lit up.

"No, but please tell me more."

"Well it's simple, buy three books and you get two books of equal or lesser price for free." She said as the body crossed the street and kept walking away, passing by a long nosed man looking at the items in a toy store.

"Sir, why do you need so many metal marbles?"

"I'm in need of new ammunition, and it's gonna be awhile before I can grow my regular kind. Not to mention they're very useful in quick escapes." He said as she rolled her eyes.

"Uh-huh, sure, whatever you say sir." She said as he frowned.

"Hey, they're serious weapons!"

"It's not my place to judge sir, I just sell items."

"You are so judging me, stop it!"

"It's not that obvious is it?" She remarked in a dry drawl tone with a deadpan expression.

"It so is! Just stop it and let me pay for the marbles!"

"Of course sir. Would you like anything else with those?" She asked as she began to put the marbles into bags. "Maybe a teddy bear?"

Usopp growled with annoyance and embarrassment while Franky was getting shown around a huge stall with all manner of parts for ships.

"Come here sir, here we have this new thing called a mortar, you can hit ships from super far away with it!" He smiled showing off a metallic cylinder pointed up. "With great force and it won't be heard by the target until it's too late."

"Pretty good, but I already got something even more SUPER than that."

"Not a taker? Ok, well how about this? A super deluxe cannon that functions like a gatling gun?" the man pointed to six cannon barrels connected together. "You can fire one cannonball at a time, one after the other, or give them a real hit and shoot six at once!"

"Hmmm, not bad, not bad, but can you make it look more SUPER?"

"Ah, a man of style I see. But of course, for a little bit extra, this beauty can be given a fine custom job while you wait."

"Sounds good, how much will it cost?"

"Well adding that all up together is gonna be about...30 million beri."

"Sweet, I got some designs here, mind changing the cannon to fit them?"

"Of course! We'll have this baby bright and shiny and looking good as new. Which it technically is! Any rumors that it's old or used is nothing but fake news."

"Wait, what?"

"Fake news!" He cheered with one eye twitching.

Franky raised an eyebrow while we cut over to Galette and Poire trying to look around.

"Come on, don't you feel anything yet?" Groaned Galette as she rubbed her head. 'Ugh, I feel a migraine coming on.'

"No, it feels like when I'm close it just leaves me."

"So your body is avoiding you? What the hell?!"

"Don't blame me! For all we know someone's stolen it and might be trying to sell it! Of course with my body they'll probably get a big amount." She groaned.

"Really, someone is trying to buy your headless body?"

"They might! A headless body can't say no!" Growled Poire while Galette was having difficulty moving around fast as her neck wiggled a bit in the air which stood up while she tried to focus on shrinking it.

"Ugh, fine, fine, I just hope it's in some place we can sit down and change, I'm still covered in fucking butter!"

"I swear if someone touches my beautiful body I'm gonna-"

"Skin them alive, we get it!" Groaned Galette. "Yes, I've heard you for the fifth time already."

Poire puffed out her cheeks while they moved through the crowd with Galette's neck getting bumped into.

"Hey, move it long neck, I'm walking here!"

"Ma'am, please keep your neck off my husband."

"Watch it, someone could trip over this neck."

"I KNOW!" She shouted, a tick mark forming on her forehead. She forced her head to lift her neck up and tried to use all her concentration on it while Poire grumbled.

"This is all that stupid strawhat's fault. If we didn't come here for him, this never would have happened."

"Yeah, why did he have to piss off Mama, did he think he was strong enough to beat her or something?" Grumbled Galette as her neck shrunk down to a more manageable size while we cut over to Nami and Chopper with Nami holding several shopping bags and Chopper sticking close to her while keeping his eyes peeled.

"Chopper, you're being paranoid, no one is trying to kidnap you." Nami said as she shook her head.

"Nuh-uh, I just know something bad is gonna happen to me!" He gulped. "Look at me, I'm small, furry, and walking around shops that sell who knows what kind of horrible stuff."

"Chopper, you can grow into a creature larger than most ships, what are you scared of?" Nami asked in confusion. "Exactly what shop do you think is gonna try and kidnap you?"

"Any that sell exotic animals." He shivered as they walked past a stall that sold exactly that.

"Come one come all, get the finest animals this side of the grandline!"

"Or maybe a store that sells toys, I'm cute and small like a stuffed animal!"

"Calm down Chopper, as long as you're by me I'll keep anyone from snatching you." Smiled Nami as they passed by what looked like a doctor's office in a stall before a short man dressed up like a doctor jumped on the desk and pointed at her.

"You there young lady!"

"Huh? Are you talking to me?" She asked in confusion.

"Yes!" He smiled. "Tell me, are you happy with yourself?"

"Well, yeah, why?"

"Because I can tell from your young and curvy physique that you have the potential to be far greater than ever!" He declared striking a pose.

"...were you staring at my breasts and ass? Perv!" she frowned.

"I am no perv ma'am, but a doctor! That is why I am here to offer you something to truly make you stand out!" he declared striking another pose. "It's something that will ensure that any man or woman that comes in your way will be stunned by your charm!"

"...go on." She said hesitantly, not buying what he was selling but curious on what he was talking about.

"If you come over and take a seat, I shall explain it all to you in great detail!" He said as he gestured to his shop, making her sigh.

"Fine, but just because I could use a rest." She said as she walked towards him.

"Wait up Nami!" Chopper cried as he tried to follow, only for the doctor to push him away.

"Sorry sir, just one customer at a time, plus I don't deal in animals."

"But if I stay out here, I'll be in danger!"

"Not my problem." He said, making Chopper groan and look at Nami pleadingly.

"It'll be ok Chopper, I'll be done here shortly."

"Bu- bu…" He started only for the door to close on his face. "...ok Chopper, keep it together, y-you're a strong, tough pirate!" He spoke puffing out his chest. "You've been pushed to the brink of death and had to fight against some of the scariest pirates around, think of this like one of those. A test of your endurance."

"Oh, hello there, and who are you little guy?"

"AAAAAHHHH! PLEASE DON'T SELL ME!" He cried out in impulse while flailing his arms around. "I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE MADE INTO A COAT!"

"Uh, I was just curious on why there's a talking reindeer standing in front of the surgery stall." Said the figure who was a tall woman in a yakata.

"I'm a rei- wait, you don't think I'm a racoon dog?" Asked Chopper as he began to calm down.

"No, why? The horns are obvious." She said as he began to smile. "So what are you doing here, are you some kind of patient or experiment?"

"No, but finally! Finally someone actually bothered to see what I really am!" He laughed happily. "It's been so long, I thought no one would ever guess it right!"

"Well that and I can tell you have hooves instead of paws."

"Thanks...so, who are you?" He asked with a smile, all worry now gone. "And how do you know so much about reindeer? Most people haven't seen them before."

"There's a lot of them on my home island." Smiled the woman who had lightish blue hair with a snowflake hairpin. "I even use to help take care of some when I was little."

"Really? Oh, sorry, my names Chopper, what's you?"

"Whitey Bay." She said as we cut back to Poire's body which was walking aimlessly down the street towards a familiar captain. Said captain was munching away at numerous meat with the dogs gone away due to having their fill.

"Mmmm, meat meat meat~" He sang as the body kept stumbling forward before bumping into him. "Huh?" He turned and went wide eyed looking at the headless body and let some of the meat in his mouth to fall out when it dropped open in shock. "EHHH?! Headless body!" He cried as the body felt around before feeling his arm and latched on. He jumped up with the body holding on. "What are you doing? Who are you?!"

The body just 'looked' at him before going back to holding onto his arm and tried to sit next to him. This caused Luffy to look at it confused while calming down considering he had seen way more scarier stuff. "...do you want my meat?"

The body did nothing except try to get closer to him.

"...ok, as long as you don't try to eat my food you can stay." He remarked before biting into a steak casually while Poire stiffened up wherever she was.

"Wait, I feel something. It feels like...my body's holding on to somebody!"

"Shit, that can't be good, can you feel your clothes still on you at least?"

"I.. I think so, but it feels different! I'm wearing something else, what is happening to my body?!"

"Which way do you feel a stronger connection?"

"Um… that way, follow me!" She cried as she began to float down the nearest street. "I'm close, I can feel it!"

Galette followed after her with her managing to keep from stumbling as she ran.

"I can feel it, it's just around this corner!" Poire cried with a smile. "There you a- what the hell?!" she stopped floating causing Galette to bump into her head.

"Why did you suddenly stop? I ...what...?" Galette trailed off as she saw her sister's body clinging to Luffy like a school girl would her boyfriend. "What is your body doing?"

"I don't know! Hey, stop that!" She cried as she flew towards her body. She felt the connection growing stronger with her making the body let go of Luffy and stand up with her floating over the spot and sighed. 'It's good to be back together, in a weird way that is.'

"Hmmm? Hey, you have a head now." Luffy said as he looked over to her.

"No duh." She frowned, but as she stared at him her head started acting up again, along with Galette. "Augh, fuck!" She cried as she held her head with a groan. "Not now!"

"Eh? Are you ok?" He asked as Galette moved to help her sister only to get hit with a headache as well.

"I..I'm just…" Poire trailed off when she saw his eyes and started to feel like she was mesmerized and didn't finish. "I...I...I…."

"Poire, snap...outta…." Galette started before spotting Luffy as well. She saw him look at her too and felt her face feel warm while her train of thought trailed off.

"Um ... are you two ok? Also what smells like butter?" Asked Luffy with the two blinking and snapping out of it with Galette feeling embarrassed.

"I-It's not my fault. It was a stupid dog." She grumbled looking away annoyed.

"Oh, ok… so...I'm gonna go now or…" He said as he picked up his bag of meat and began to slowly move away, not knowing what exactly to do in this situation.

"Yeah, bye bye." Waved Poire who felt her head floating up with a blush with Galette's neck growing as Luffy didn't see before Poire shook her head and blinked. 'What the heck just happened?'

"Huh? I...I don't know." Said Galette as she snapped back to reality. "What the hell was that? We acted like schoolgirls!"

"We? You're the one who looked away over butter." Poire frowned.

"Well your body sure seemed quite attached to him." She said as Poire blushed.

"I had no control over it!" She frowned. "You think I'd LET my body do something like that if I could have helped it?"

"I don't know, you looked pretty red and your body was obviously liking it."

"S-Shut up butterface!" She snapped making Galette frown. "You had the shot to cut his neck open and blew it!"

"Shit happened, mainly you and those dogs, and speaking of which now that you have your damn body I'm changing." She muttered as she looked around before spotting a clothes store. 'Perfect, I can change in there.'

"Fine! But I'm gonna go off and make use of this floating head thing. All I need to do is cut into his throat with my teeth and drag him to the ship." Grumbled Poire, only to find her body yanked by Galette toward the store. "Hey, what are you doing? I need that!"

"Oh no, I just found your body, I am not going to be looking around for it again once I change, and it has my kimono."

"But we'll lose strawhat!"

"We'll find him again AFTER I'm done." She growled in annoyance. "You can follow him if you want, but the body's staying with me."

"But I don't wanna be a floating head on my own!"

"Then stay with it and if you're lucky we can find a pelt that doesn't stink."

"But ...I… augh, this is kidnapping!"

"Yeah, yeah, just come along headless."

"Butterface."

(Later)

"Ok, so where do you think he is now?"

"Gee, let me tell you when I find him. Oh wait! I had him, but you made me stick with you while you went to get all dressed up."

"Your body did that while I was chasing your head and I think it also got a fucking bath, you can't complain!" Growled Galette currently wearing a purple yukata, the one given to them by the old man with her looking cleaned up. "Just be glad I got all the butter off me or else I would have punted you back to the ship like a soccer ball."

"Oh please, it's not that bad, and don't you control butter?"

"I can make and control it a bit, but I can't make it disappear." She huffed before walking. "Now come on, let's find him."

"Hold up! My pelt is still torn up and stinks!"

"And that's my problem how?" She asked with a frown. "Just throw it away, your body got rid of your other clothes."

"Yeah, but I didn't get a choice and now it won't let me take off this stupid kimono!" She growled with her body crossing its arms. "It's like it got another mind while I was away!"

"Well that's a you problem now, at least it's not running away, right?"

"Yeah, but it got rid of most of my weapons too!" She groaned in annoyance. "I hate this stupid devil fruit!"

"Oh please, try keeping your neck from winding up as long as rope." Groaned her sister. "Let's just find Luffy and then get out of here so we can get home and figure this out."

"Yeah, let's...wait, did you just use strawhat's real name?"

"Huh? Oh, I guess I did, my bad." She said quickly, shaking her head. "Why, does it matter?"

"No, no it doesn't." Replied Poire feeling a little irked for some reason.

"Good, then let's go, I want to find him as soon as possible."

"AFTER we fix my pelt."

"No, we don't have time."

"If we have time for you to clean up, we have time for my pelt." She challenged with a frown.

"Poire, what do you think is gonna happen? That thing is covered in meat juice, dog slobber, butter and has numerous tears and is missing an ear!" Frowned Galette.

"I'm not gonna float around smelling and looking like this."

"Then you should have washed your head in a sink or something while I was busy, or just throw it away, you can't wear it anymore anyways, right?"

"I'd rather DIE than give up my favorite pelt."

"Poire, it's gone, all that's on your head is some black and white rags at this point." Her sister said with a frown. "Now you can either get rid of it and get a new one so we can get going, or I'm leaving you here."

"But...I… I don't want to give it up, it was my first!" Sniffled Poire looking at it fondly. "It was the first pelt I ever wore on my head after I learned how to sew."

Galette groaned and facepalmed. "Look, how about this. We get the mission done, and bring it back on the ship where it can get cleaned and fixed. For now though we make due with these outfits to blend in easier." She said as she held up a small sack. "So for now… you have to put it away, I'm sorry."

Poire growled and let out an incoherent growl with her head rolling in the air before huffing. "Fine, but if you try to throw it out, I'm gonna make sure you get a debt so big you won't be able to pay it off even if you sold your body off until you're an old bag."

"Ok, ok, hell you can hold onto the bag, you just have to look like you're part of the crowd, ok?" She said as Poire nodded with a frown and slowly took off the panda hat. It dropped down into the sack with Poire sighing and her hair flowing free.

"I don't like this, I feel naked."

"Well you'll have to make due with what you have. Now we can get back to hunting Luffy down." She said, Poire frowning when she heard her sister use the captain's name again.

'Why does that agitate me, it's just a stupid name!' She thought as the two made their way to where Luffy was while we cut over to the strawhat's cook himself who was looking over some kitchen knives.

"Hmmmm, not bad but I have better ones on the ship." He muttered setting one down while holding a bag of several ingredients. "Maybe I can find some new cutting boards, my old one's starting to get worn down."

"No, please, let go of me, I can pay, I can pay for my freedom!"

"Shut up! You lost everything at the poker tables!"

"I'm too young to be sold!"

"Well guess what? You aren't!" Laughed a females voice, making Sanji freeze.

'Wait, that sounds like a distressed lady.' He thought turning his head and going wide eyed. He saw a large stall where several women from various races were being lined up, each in chains. "That must be what Nami-chan mentioned, the one about selling people."

"Alright, let's get you ladies ready for the sale." Laughed a large overweight woman as several female workers began to hang wooden signs from the necks of the slave women, each with a different price and some details. "We're gonna want to get you plenty of owners who are gonna pay big."

"Oi oi oi, what are you doing? You can't sell them!"

The woman turned and saw Sanji walking over making her raise an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Says who?"

"Says me, I refuse to let such wonderful women get sold like animals!"

"Oh? And how, are you gonna try and take them from me?"

"No, I can't go off and use violence against a woman." He spoke firmly while shaking his head. "But I'm willing to keep them from dealing with sick bastards who might do who knows what to them. I'll pay for them."

"Eh? Really, you have enough money for all of them?" She asked doubtfully. She grabbed one blonde haired woman and held her up. "This one alone is worth five million, and I have about fifteen women here, can you afford that?"

"I've got a sac of beri that says plenty. You can check what I have left if you still doubt me." He said as he tossed the bag at her. "I want them all. NOW."

The woman frowned and looked inside the bag before nodding. "Alright, if you're willing to buy this many girls, you must be one eager fella. They're all yours." She said as the women in chains paled. "I'll get the paperwork, enjoy your new harem."

Sanji blushed hearing that as the larger woman walked away before he coughed and looked at the women who looked at him nervously before he held a hand up. "Don't worry, I'm not like some of the guys who would buy you. I just feel it's my duty as a man to help lovely ladies such as yourselves from ending up like toys to guys who wouldn't know manners if it hit them in the face." He said as a few of them began to slowly nod as we cut back to Poire and Galette.

"Any sign of him?"

"No, not yet, damn it did he leave already?! What are we gonna tell Momma, that we lost him because we ate devil fruits?!"

"Get it together! If he did leave, our men would have told us over the den den mushi!"

"Right, right, what am I thinking, he has to still be here." Muttered Poire as she shook her head. 'Damn that strawhat! Damn him for causing this! Damn him for making me lose my pelt! And damn him for having a cute face while he ate...wait what?!' She thought as her face heated up as her head almost popped off her body. 'Where did that come from, why would I even think that?!'

'I swear when we get that man I'm going to tie him down, strip him naked, and use my own body to make him pay, after some-WOAH!' Galette stopped herself and felt her neck stretch while she blushed. "Why would I even consider that?!"

"Why would you think what?" Poire asked, pushing her head back onto her neck.

Galette looked at her sister and was about to say something, but stopped and looked away with a frown. "Nothing."

"Oh… good, good." She said, shooting her sister a suspicious glare. 'What was she thinking about?'

'I need to keep it together and find that-' Galette spotted a strawhat in the crowd and Luffy's face passing by and narrowed her eyes. 'Him.' She thought before clearing his throat. "Maybe we'll have more luck if we split up Poire."

"Are you kidding?"

"No. If we can split up we can cover more ground. Especially since with the two of us sticking together we stick out so badly either he or one of his crewmates might get on to us and leave early. We can only hope they haven't seen our faces, then we'll be sure to grab him." She said as she began to walk towards the direction she saw Luffy going. "You start heading back the way we came, see if he looped back, ok?"

Poire raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Fine, if you see him call me."

"Sure, sure, I might, see you soon." She said before taking off. 'I need to make sure to keep him in my sights!'

'Something's not right, why would she want me to loop all the way back now, it just seems random… or is she trying to make me leave for some reason?' Wondered Poire with narrowed eyes. 'I'll make her think I'm listening and see what she finds.' She thought as she popped her head off before turning to her body. "Ok, listen, I want you to stay close to me. No more running off, got it?"

The body gave a nod and thumbs up.

"Good, now let's find out what she's up to."

Galette willed herself to keep her neck as normal to keep from being spotted and moved through the crowd to try and catch up to Luffy. 'Ok, stay calm Galette, you got this, maybe this time though forgo the stabbing and see if you can lure him to your ship.'

With Luffy he sighed and felt full of meat and was trying to find a stall for something else to eat. "No...no...no… come on, where's the meat?" He groaned.

"Sir, this is a vegan stand, there's no meat here."

"Well what do you have?"

"I have a meat substitute made out of ground up carrots, cabbage and beets."

"Is it good?"

"It's ok, here, try some." Said the stall owner as a piece of brown, burned food was offered to the pirate.

Luffy took it and sniffed it before giving it a bite, and turned green before dropping it and felt his taste buds exploding, but not in a good way. "P-Poison!" He croaked out in pain.

"Oh shut up drama queen, it's good!"

Luffy grabbed at his neck and coughed while Galette spotted him and smirked.

'There you are Luffy-kun~ Wait, what did I just call him?!' She thought in horror before seeing the pirate take off running and barreling through the crowd like a mad man. "Wait!" she took off after him while the stall owner huffed and looked at the crowd.

"Come and get your vegan flavored dishes! Guaranteed to top any raw or cooked meat!"

"W-Water, water!" Luffy cried out as Galette tried to keep up.

'He won't get away from me!' She thought as she got closer and closer before Luffy dived into a nearby barrel full of rain water. She skidded to a stop and managed to keep from falling over and sighed in relief before turning to him. 'Now he's trapped.' She thought as she began to approach him at a normal pace as he gulped down water greedily in an attempt to get rid of the taste.

"Bah! That wasn't meat! It wasn't even veggies!" He groaned before feeling someone tap him on the back. He pulled his head out and turned to see Galette, whose neck was slightly stretched out. "Yes?"

"Sorry, I couldn't help but notice your hat, you're straw hat Luffy, right?"

"That's my nickname, my real name is Monkey D. Luffy." He introduced with a smile while pointing to himself with a thumb.

"Wow, the big shot pirate, right?" She asked feigning the truth.

"Yep, and the next Pirate King." He said proudly. "Welp, see you later long necked lady, I gotta go find some more meat to buy."

"Mind if I come with? You look like you could use a companion to walk with in such a large and crowded area."

"Eh? Why?" He asked as he tilted his head curiously.

"Well, wouldn't you like to have a beautiful woman accompany you~?" She gave a wink with Luffy grabbing his chin in thought.

"Hmmm, well Nami DID give me all this money to buy whatever I wanted...sure!"

"Great! Then let me show you to the best place to get food." She said as she wrapped her arms around one of his. "Maybe we could get you something a bit sweet for dessert."

"Well I could go for something a bit different..."

"I passed by a stall that was selling tarts." She said as he perked up before spotting a certain floating head out of the corner of her eye.

'That backstabbing bitch! She spotted him!' Growled Poire. 'She was trying to steal him for herself!'

'Crap, what is she doing here, I sent her the other way!' Thought Galette before finding herself yanked by Luffy down the street with the woman blushing as she nearly fell into him.

"So, what way to the tarts? I'm starving!"

"Oh, i-it's just down the street, and we'll get there after a few left turns." She said as she held onto him tighter as he ept moving. 'Ok, maybe I can trick her into leaving and getting the boat ready… wait, if her heads there where's her body?'

"Oh, hey, it's you again, where's your head?" Luffy asked as Poire's body lunged out of the crowd and grabbed onto his other arm possessively.

'Oh, never mind.' She thought with a deadpan. 'Stupid thing must have gotten away from Poire again.'

The body pointed at Galette and shook a fist before gesturing for her to leave.

"What? No, go away, I got this." She hissed, hoping Luffy wasn't paying attention to their 'conversation'.

"Hey, you can understand her. Do you two know each other?"

"Technically yes, this is the body of my twin, she ate a devil fruit and now she can detatch her head, but her body keeps wandering around and doing stupid stuff." Frowned Galette with said body seemingly cuddling against Luffy's arm which irked her. "In fact she should be leaving right now and go find her head, right Poire?"

The body shook its neck and made the gesture again for Galette to leave.

"No, why would I leave, I was just about to show Strawhat here where we can find some tarts, though I can see we already found one." She muttered under her breath.

The body flipped her the bird as Galette lead Luffy down the street, making the body forced to follow.

'Where is she taking him, the ship is the other way!' Thought Poire as the head followed them from a distance. 'And I told my body to stay by me! Have I lost control of it completely?'

(Later)

"Here we are." Sighed Galette and glared at the body, which hadn't let go of Luffy once.

"Ooh, nice, they're so huge!" Cried Luffy as he looked at the tarts which were the size of an encyclopedia.

"Why don't you go ahead and get one while I 'talk' to my sister's body here?"

"Sure!" He said as he happily bounded towards the stall as Galette grabbed Poire's body before she could follow him.

"You're going back to your head, now." She growled as the body crossed its arms and shook its neck no. "Yes, you are, I can handle this!"

It flipped her off and gestured for her to leave while putting its hands together as it looked at Luffy.

"Either go now, or else." Frowned Galette with her neck stretching out.

The body just looked at her before pointing to Luffy, then her and then made a hole with one hand and began to stick a finger in and out of it with the other.

"You bitch!" She scowled at the body without seeing Poire's head floating over. "I'm gonna send you to the bottom of the water!"

"Really, you'd kill me over a misbehaving body?" She said, startling the twin.

"Poire! When did you show up?"

"I've been following you, waiting for you to call the ship or me and tell us that you found Luffy." She said with a frown. "Any reason you didn't?"

"I...was merely making sure he wasn't suspicious of me yet."

"Really, and you couldn't have called before approaching him?"

"If I did he might have made a run for it."

"Uh-huh… and is it coincidence you found him right after you sent me away, less than a minute later in fact?" Frowned Poire with Galette looking away.

"Pure coincidence."

"Well then it won't be a 'coincidence' if I get back with my body and you head to the ship to make sure the men are ready."

"That would be silly, I already led him here and he trusts me, why would I leave so suddenly?"

"Tell him you have to powder your nose or something, he'll fall for it."

"No… it's too risky, you go take your body and go back to the ship."

"I got a better one." Poire narrowed her eyes before making her head fly down to the back of Galette's yukata and bite into it before tugging on it making her twin jump.

"Hey, what are you-"

RIP!

"YOU BITCH!" Galette cried as the back off her Yukata was torn off, making her quickly grab it in an effort to cover up. "What is your problem?!"

"Oops, my bad~" She sang with a chuckle making her body give two thumbs up.

"Like hell, why would you do that?! That was very much on purpose!"

"Guess you better go get that fixed, otherwise Luffy will see and start laughing."

"AUGH! Damn it! Fine, it I have to be humiliated then so will you!" She growled before she tried to create butter, only to find her butt kicked by Poire's body making her yelp and crash down on the ground with a groan while Poire laughed. "You bitch! Why are you doing this?!"

"Because he's mine damn it, mine!" Snapped Poire floating over to her body and on the neck making her smirk. "You just wanted an excuse to get all alone with him and seduce him."

"Damn it, no! I just wanted him to lower his guard!"

"Uh-huh, by clinging to him like that? No way."

"Your body was no different!" Growled Galette picking her head up with her neck stretched out looking like a snake by length. "It was implying it was going to...do something with him."

"Well sorry for not having any control! But now I do and he'll be mine~" Snickered Poire. "Of course, I COULD offer you a deal…"

"What kind of deal?"

"If I let you two alone for say five minutes and NOT take him, it'll cost you a measly 10 million beri."

"...Do I look like a dumbass? That is the stupidest deal you've ever tried to make!"

"First, yes. Second, you either take it and get SOME time with him, or get squat and I get him completely."

"Bitch, you are delusional, why would he want to be with a headless body, and you need to pay me for a new yukata!"

"Hey! As long as I'm near it, it's not delusional! As for the yukata? That implies I did something, but how can you prove it?" She smirked as Luffy came back munching on several tarts.

"Mmm, sho good." He let out before looking at Poire and Galette on the ground while surprised. "Who are you?"

"Oh, well you're well known with my body, but you can call me Poire." Smiled the girl while managing to keep her head from floating away. "Excuse my twin here, she must have gotten light headed from having such a high opinion of herself and it makes her very clumsy."

"You attacked me! You even have a piece of my yukata stuck between your teeth!"

Luffy gulped down the tarts and saw Poire quickly put it in her own while smiling innocently before she wrapped her arms around his arm.

"Say Luffy-kun, you look like a man with taste. I'll bet all that meat and sweets has gotten you filled up for a little walk around here. I know some stalls that sell stuff that would be great and useful for you."

"Eh, I could eat a bit more, but I should head back to my ship so Sanji can cook the rest of my meat."

'Shit!' Thought the twins with Galette trying to get her neck shrunk down while Poire kept smiling.

"Well if you're still hungry, I know this one stall that has some sweet cotton candy. I'd even be willing to pay for it. I'm a lady who can get a job done, and who has money to spare. I don't like to tell others this, but my twin is terrible with money." She whispered to him while pointing to Galette. "She has a bit of a spending problem."

"What?! No, that's not true, you keep stealing it to keep buying more pelts!"

"As you can tell she likes to blame it on others." Spoke Poire with a shake of her head and sigh. "It's hard being the older twin sometimes."

"I'm the older twin! I'm also more responsible, that's why I'm the Minister of Butter!"

"Ah, she's also delusional, always talking about butter."

Luffy was utterly baffled here, but he felt his stomach growl with him finishing off the tarts before Poire grabbed his hand.

"Come on!" She started leading him away while Galette rushed to get on her feet and having trouble getting her neck to shrink.

'Damn it, why now?!'

(Later)

"Wow!" Spoke Luffy looking at the cotton candy stall that was taller than normal with all manner of tall stacks of the fluffy treat on sticks on display.

"See something you like?" asked Poire with a giggle.

"Yeah, this stuff looks awesome, I bet Chopper would love this place!"

"Go ahead and go for any size you want." She said with a smile. "It's on me Luffy."

"Wow, thanks!" he smiled going to the counter while Poire silently snickered.

'This is gonna get me brownie points with him. After a little bit of some fun around here, I'll get him back to the ship easy.' She thought smugly. 'And Galette should be having some trouble finding some new clothes seeing how I managed to steal her purse after I tore her dress, I won't see her until Luffy is all mine~'

"I'll take the biggest size you got!"

"Well if you mean the sea king sized one, that one's gonna be about 200 beri."

"Awesome! Let's do it!" He laughed as Poire sweatdropped.

'How much food can he eat?' She wondered while not noticing a figure marching straight towards her.

'Oh that bitch is going to get it now, where does she get off acting like a spoiled brat?!' Thought the figure who reached out and grabbed Poire's head before popping it right off before rearing their arms back.

"Hey! What's g-AHHHHH!" Cried Poire as her head went flying over the Stand. "WHAT'S GOING O-MPH!" and crashed into the machine that was making the cotton candy, leading to the head getting rolled around and getting coated in the treat. "Waaaaaa! Get me out of this thing!"

"Huh? What was that?" Luffy said as the figure grabbed Poire's body and shoved it in a nearby barrel.

"Must be the wind." Smiled the figure as it was Galette with her neck back to normal. She was also in a new yukata. "So, is that cotton candy just for you or both of us?"

"Huh? But wasn't Poire just here?" He asked looking around. "She said she was paying, but I don't see her."

"Oh, she decided to go somewhere else, and I got this." She said, holding up Poire's purse.

"You biiiiiitch!" Came Poire's voice making Luffy rub his ear as Galette paid for the cotton candy, which was almost as tall as the stall itself.

"Whoa, this is huge!" Luffy cried out as he barely managed to hold up the large desert.

"Why don't we sit down somewhere?"

"Sure!" He said as he began to walk away as Chopper and Whitey Bay began to approach the stand.

"Whoa, this place looks awesome! One cotton candy please!"

"Make that two." Spoke the woman pulling her purse out.

"Sure thing." The stall manager said as he began to get the cotton candy ready, unknowingly catching a candy covered Poire's head on one of the cones. "Here you two go."

"Thanks." She said as she handed Chopper one of the cones, which he happily took.

"Thank you." He licked his lips and started to lick up some of the treat. "Mmmm, so good!" He cried only for it to suddenly start rising up in the air.

"GALETTE!"

"AAAAHHHH! Haunted cotton candy!" Screamed Chopper ducking behind Whitey Bay's legs as Poire's head looked around.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" She roared as she shook her head, only managing to get some of the candy off, making it look like she had a fluffy pink afro. That's when she looked and saw her body squirming and trying to get out of the barrel. "Oh that bitch wants to play rough? I can play rough." She growled in anger. She flew down while we cut back over to Luffy and Galette sitting on a bench.

"How… how did you eat that so fast?"

"I always eat fast, I learned that if I didn't I wouldn't get any food." He remarked licking his lips of any leftover cotton candy.

"Ok…" She said as she saw a few bits of cotton candy on his face and got an idea. "Hold on, you missed some, let me get them."

"Huh? Why?" He asked only for her to kiss him on the cheek. He blinked and was momentarily caught off guard before she pulled back with a smile.

"There, got it." She said with a smile as he looked at her in shock as his face began to heat up a bit. "All clean."

"O-ok, thanks." He said with a blush.

'Is he blushing? YES! Nice! Take that Poire!' Thought Galette with an inward laugh of victory.

"S-So… are you pregnant now? What do we do?"

"...what?" She asked in confusion.

"Don't girls get pregnant after you kiss them?"

"...what?" She said as she shook her head. "No, who told you that?"

"My grandpa, so you're not pregnant?"

"No, no, don't worry about it." She said as she shook her head. "Just know that girls don't get pregnant by a kiss." She said as she shook her head. "Here, lets try that again~"

"YOU BITCH!"

Both of them turned with Galette cursing as Poire was heading towards them.

"Eh? Flying cotton candy?" Luffy asked in confusion.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" She roared only for Galette to reach her arm out and grab the head with ease.

"How are you going to do that?" She asked with a chuckle.

"Eh? Poire, is that you? Where's your body?"

"BLAME HER!" She roared in anger. "She threw my head into a cotton candy machine then stuck my body in a pickle barrel!"

"Me?" Spoke Galette with innocence. "Why would I do that to my own sister?"

"BECAUSE YOU'RE A BITCH!"

"Says the one saying she's going to kill me." Galette hugged Luffy's arm close and looked at him with a worried expression. "You won't let her do that to me, will you Luffy?"

"OH NO, NO WAY YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME THE VILLAIN HERE!"

"Uh ...I'm…." Luffy stammered, very confused on what was going on right now.

"Leave us be, you're clearly making Luffy-kun uncomfortable." Galette said as she pulled Luffy closer and planted another kiss on his cheek, infuriating Poire.

"THAT'S IT!" She lunged out with her teeth bared, making Galette duck down, only to get some of her hair caught on the teeth.

"Ow ow ow ow! Hey, watch it!"

"Imma kill you!"

"...What is going on?!" Cried out Luffy as Galette tried to rip off her sister's hair, only to push her off too hard, causing the head to go flying and crashed head first on Luffy's own head, causing him to fall back with Poire's head floating down with swirls in her head.

"Oooh… make it stop spinning…" She groaned as Galette got up and glared at her sister's head.

"That's it, time to die sister." She said before noticing that Luffy was knocked out. "Luffy-kun?"

Silence

"L-Luffy-kun, are you ok?" Poire stuttered as she shook her head. 'Ugh, I'm gonna feel that later.'

Galette reached down and felt his pulse before sighing and glared at her twin. "Hope you're happy, he's knocked out."

"Well, honestly… wait, isn't that good? Weren't we trying to kidnap him?" She asked, making her sister freeze. "This actually makes our job much easier."

"Oh… I guess it does…." She said. "So… should we get a bag to carry him in or….should we go get your body?"

"No need." She replied as her body came running over before spotting Luffy and made what looked like a horrified expression with its hands. "Calm down, he's not dead, just knocked out."

The body 'sighed' in relief before moving over and began to slowly pull down his pants.

"N-Not now! Stop that, we have to take him to the ship!" Yelled Poire with a blush while Galette pushed the hands away with a frown.

"If you try that I'm going to throw you into the ocean."

"Hey, no control, remember?" Frowned Poire. "Ok, we need to figure this out later, we've been trying to kill each other over this guy, it's insane."

"We'll drag him back there, just get control over your body before it tries to run off with him."

"Fine, fine." She said as she put her head back on her body. "I'll get his legs if you get his arms."

With that the twins picked him up and began to carry him away, anyone who saw this figured either they were selling him or he was drunk.

(Later)

"Ugh, where are they, did Luffy drag Sanji somewhere?" Nami groaned with the rest of the crew relaxing on the thousand sunny.

"I don't know, but if we have to wait, we can tell what we bought. This kit was worth it." Spoke Zoro looking through the kit and was using some on his blade, which seemed to shine more than before.

"I got many new books, there were many, many, deals and different book keepers on this island." Robin said as she thumbed through a large novel as she sat on a large crate of books.

"I bought this SUPER weapon for the sunny." Smiled Franky gesturing to the gatling cannon that was colored blue with flames on the side.

"I got some new bandages, a few books, some cotton candy and I made a new friend!" Smiled Chopper looking pleased. "Apparently she knows someone really strong, but she wouldn't say who and seemed a bit down about it, so I told her she didn't need to say who if it bothered her, but she was still really nice before she had to leave."

"That's cool, I got some new ammo, but I also got into a feud with a store keep." Mumbled Usopp.

"I purchased a few instruments and old music sheet to help liven things up. I can't wait to hear the melody with my ears. Oh! I don't have any ears, skull joke! Yohohoho!" Let out Brook while looking a violin over. "What did you get Nami-san, was it that new sweater you're wearing?"

"Um… not exactly…" She spoke with a chuckle and rubbing the back of her head with a light blush. "I sorta ...bought something a bit more…"

"Really? What was it, the last time I saw you was when you were in that weird doctor's office." Spoke Chopper while Nami took a deep breath.

"Well he did say it was something to help out with my natural ability to sway people, but it might be something that'll take some getting used to." She muttered as she began to take off the sweater. "I also kind of misunderstood what exactly he was talking about and only realized after I paid him and he put me under with anesthesia."

"What? It can't be that ..." Zoro stopped as all their eyes widened slightly when they saw Nami's bikini top bounce out, along with the second pair below it. "... I stand corrected."

"Yeah, my thoughts exactly." She muttered with a frown.

"You ...you...have more breasts?!" screamed out Chopper with his jaw hitting the deck. "Why?! Oh no, do you need a back brace?! Your previous pair were already heavy, does it hurt to stand up?!"

"I didn't think he meant this!" She yelled with annoyance. "If I did I would have walked out of there!"

"So did you get your money back?"

"No, when I woke up he was gone and he stole the rest of my money!"

"Do… Do you want me to see if I can fix you?"

She sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Maybe, I doubt more breasts are gonna work. These things are just gonna be awkward to cover. People would just look at them in shock and NOT be distracted for the same reason."

"Says you. I saw some pretty weird looking people here." Spoke Usopp trying to keep from staring. "I think I saw one guy with four arms and two heads."

"Well, maybe it won't be so bad, worse comes to worse you can get Chopper to fix it." Zoro said with a shrug.

"So, where's Sanji then?"

"I think I see him." Spoke Robin looking over the side before rubbing her eyes. "But I think I'm seeing things."

"Huh? Why?" Usopp asked in confusion.

"There's a crowd of women following him closely."

"... are they chasing him angrily?"

"No, they look... happy?"

The others looked over and saw the cook heading to the ship with about fifteen women behind him, catching the crew off guard.

"Whoa, what's going on, and does Sanji look… embarrassed?" Chopper asked in confusion.

"Embarrassed? Near so many women?" Blinked Usopp before screaming. "It's unnatural! Chopper! Get every medicine you have! He might have some weird infection!"

"You're right, I'll go get everything I can!" He called as Sanji got closer and closer to the ship.

"Hey guys!" Called Sanji as he headed up the gangplank with the women following.

"Shitty cook, what did you do?" asked Zoro right away.

"Hey, where do you get off talking to master like that?!"

"Yeah, you wanna fight?!"

"So... it's a long story, I tried to save them from slavery…" He trailed off rubbing the back of his head with the women nodding. "So...I guess that means they'll be hitching a ride with us for the time being."

"...no, no way." Nami said with a frown. "You are not bringing a slave harem onto the ship!"

Sanji turned to respond, but when his eyes laid on Nami's second pair of breasts, his eyes nearly shot out of his head before going flying back and through the wall to the room due to a nosebleed, right into Chopper's office.

"Master Sanji!" Cried the woman as they raced after him.

"So Sanji saved a bunch of women, who are his harem?" Spoke Brook before rubbing his chin. "I wonder if they would let me see their panties."

"Absolutely not!" Nami cried, chopping his head before stopping. "Wait, if Luffy wasn't with him, then where is he?"

All of them were silent while we cut back over to the other ship with Galette and Poire putting Luffy, with a seastone bracelet, in their room.

"Ok, so we have him now… what are we going to do?" Poire asked as she rubbed the back of her head. "We were supposed to torture him once we caught him…"

"We will, when he wakes up." Spoke Galette with a serious tone.

"Oh...ok, so...I'm just gonna lie next to him while he sleeps so he doesn't run away."

"You'll lay in your own bed and I'll lay in my own, that way if he does wake up and try to escape we'll both be rested enough to stop him."

"Right... I'll just move him to mine quick, that way he can't sneak out if we doze off."

"Wrong, he will lay on the floor." She said as she crossed her arms. "And he will stay there, got it, he is our prisoner, not a body pillow."

"...fine, but I better not see you cuddling up with him while I'm sleeping." She said with a frown.

"Fine, fine, but the same goes for you, got it?"

Poire nodded as the twins went to their beds and glanced at the other before turning the lights off.
