Chapter 3 : Damn it, just wake up
"Promise me you will take good care of your dad and your brothers as well. I know taking care of 14 brothers is asking a lot for a teenage girl but you are a strong independent woman and I need you to do this final request for me after I pass on. And I'm sorry I won't live long enough to see you achieve your dreams"
"No mom, you have nothing to be sorry about. You're going to beat this illness and finally walk on your own 2 feet again and see your sons again without any tubes in your body...and..and...and." Kc said in between pants while she clenched her mother's very pale hand even tighter.
With all of her strength, Kc's mom lifted up her hand and wiped off the tears that were coming down from her only daughter's face. "I love you Kc-"
"Beeeeeeep"
"Quick! Doctor we're losing her." A nearby nurse stated before shoving the girl away from her sick mother.
-x-
Kc shot open her eyes and sat up. "Oh, that dream again." She muttered tiredly as she stretched her arms. After shutting her door, she then felt a sharp pain which made her gritted teeth . When she looked from behind she groaned in annoyance to see her 2 fluffy white tails again. *Why did I ate that stupid fruit.* She thought to herself in annoyance while nursing her 2 sore tails. She then made her way to the galley only to realize she was completely lost. Kc continued down the way she thought she was supposed to go only to find another dead end. *Damn it, I'm lost.* Looking around to see if anyone could help her, in the corner of her eyes she spotted a familiar blonde mask man.
She ran after him. "Hey Killer!" He stopped from where he was walking and looked down at the short woman.
"Do you need something?"
Kc nodded. " I can't find the galley."
"Having problems with your devil fruit abilities again?" Killer asked casually while pointing at her extra body parts.
"Yeah, I still can't control my transformation. And to be honest I wish I never ate that damn fruit." She said with a heavy sigh.
"Nah, you should be grateful you got something cool. I heard a rumor that this one unlucky guy ate a devil fruit that only turns his body into a jacket."
"Ptttt, No way that has to be the lamest super power ever." Kc said with a small giggle, now feeling a lot more lucky and proud of her new powers.
When the 2 finally made their way to the galley, Kc got her tray of food and headed onto the deck to eat alone again. While she was eating, she noticed someone was standing in front of her so she looked up to see Spike, the other new crew member of the Kid Pirates. "What the hell do you want?" Kc questioned, wanting to eat her food in peace. "Cigarette?" He offered which she gladly accepted.
"Hey don't let kids smoke." Wire tease.
"Shut up, I'm freaking 18 years old!" Kc scoffs, knowing full-well just how short and young looking she is in comparison to everyone else in the crew.
Knowing someone was about to grab her butt, she bent down 90 degrees and kicked the pervert right in his balls. Before he could land a hit or even say a small peep, Kc already had him in a Brazilian jiu jitsu position. "Do that again or I'll take away your family jewels." She threatened, which made him nod his head in agreement.
Kid smirks, liking his new crewmate already.
*She has spunk and is pretty skilled even without her devil fruit, not bad for a bitch.* Kid thought to himself in delight.
Having nothing better else to do, she walked back to her room and grabbed her guitar case, a pencil and finally her favorite notebook that she writes songs in . Good thing when she came to this world, her notebook didn't disappear or change in the slightest. Minutes soon turned into hours and throughout most of the day she was cooped up in her room with nothing but a pencil and notebook in her hand.
"Hmmm...I wonder if anyone in this crew knows how to play the drums." Kc mumbled to herself in deep thought.
When dinner came around, everyone was disgusted and disappointed at how the food turned out. "What the hell is this supposed to be?" Kid questioned, not liking how it smelled or looked. "Just eat it, our supplies are running low so I did my best." Heat, the ship's cook stated.
With only a single bite, everyone was spitting out food from left and right while gagging loudly by the taste. Getting out of her chair, Kc grabbed a knife and made her way to the kitchen.
"Wait there, I'll be done in about 40 minutes."Kc stated before tying her hair back into a low ponytail.
Ignoring the men's uncomfortable stares she fires up the stove and does her work.
*We should have only had a gram of ground pork and beef. But how'd she make such a thick hamburger steak?* Heat thought to himself, not knowing how or where she got the meat. "You call those leftovers? Oh please, I had to feed a house of 15 who are also picky eaters with a budget less than 10000 Beri each month. " Kc commented while lighting up a cigarette.
"Holy shit! This is delicious!"
"I've never tasted anything like it!"
"So good!"
"How did you even make this? We didn't have any meat." Heat asked after taking another bite of the hamburger steak. She smirks slightly. " I used canned mackerel to make..a Mackerel burger. I added onions and breadcrumbs to the egg then mixed it with the mackerel, added pepper, and lightly salted it. Fry that up, and you get a flaky mackerel-burger steak. Then I added ponzu sauce to the leftover mackerel liquid and thickened it up with some potato starch to make a simple, refreshing sauceā¦. Until I get a record deal, no one on this crew will ever die from hunger or food poisoning either ."
"Not only are you the ship's musician but head cook as well." Kid stated proudly as he wrapped his hand on her waist. Whipping Kid's arm away with her hand, she then walked next to her blond friend. "Can I sit here?" She asked and Killer nodded. After blowing onto her spoon, she realized her food didn't taste right. "Ah... man!" Kc said, realizing she accidentally froze her food and part of the table as well.
"Sorry for freezing your food Killer."
"Hey Heat, can you come here for a second."Killer signals the tall blue hair man over.
Opening his mouth, Heat then defrosted their food.
-x-
After the ship docked, no one on the island didn't seem pirates that much which made Kid kinda disappointed. He wanted to be feared from far and wide and watching the inhabitants not acknowledging his presence made him already hating the island.
A plank was lower down so that the crew could get off the large ship and finally touch solid ground once again. Kc waited for Killer and Eustass to walk down, the fiery red head was in front with his first mate right behind him.
Kid called out for Heat and Wire to go with him, ordering the rest of the crew to stay close and not to cause too much trouble.
Walking into a nearby bar, Kid and Killer took their seats at the corner in the building while Kc just sat by herself at the counter of the tavern.
She turned her gaze ahead, scanning the multiple bottles of alcohol that were on the table for everyone to grab.
Hearing the door slammed open, everyone's attention was focused onto the new people who had entered the bar. "Hey old man, serve us 10 barrels of your finest sake." A tall, large man with a toothy grin demanded. Traveling his gaze around the small building, his eyes locked on a short woman with dark black hair and pale skin. "Well hello beautiful, can I buy you a drink?" He offered.
She just shook her head. "No I'm good." Kc said before tensing up by the new presence that took a seat next to her.
"Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself, Hi I'm Marshall D. Teach, Captain of the Black Beard Pirates."
Teach's hand was now traveling down to Kc's back all the way to her butt. In her animal instincts she bit down onto the gross man's hand, making his hand cold as solid ice.
"Ouch! My hand!" Black Beard yells in pure agony while rolling around on the dirty floor.
"Oh so you are a devil fruit user, how about you join my crew." Teach offered in between pants.
"Like hell she is, she already belongs to me." Kid shouted across the building, already preparing a large metal arm to attack the fat man.
"Piss off, I am a person not some stupid object." Kc retorted which made Kid even more angrier.
Turning her attention back to the large bearded man, she saw one of Blackbeard's crewmates already had her at gunpoint.
Using her ice breath to freeze the bullet and Blackbeard's sniper from coming any closer to her, she got up from her seat and waved her captain bye.
"Hey Kid, I'm going back to the ship." Kc stated.
Teach began to smirk a little too widely, knowing the petite woman is no longer in her Captain's sight.
She was already tired, her eyelids felt heavy and all she wanted to do was to go the ship and sleep. The past week has been extremely crappy as she keeps on having nightmares about her dead mother and the men she killed who were on the marine ship .
But just as she was about to turn to head in the same direction where the ship was docked, she tensed when she heard the faint sound of footsteps. She turned her head while reaching for her bo staff, only to let her guard down when she saw a familiar blue and white mask.. "Oh my god Killer, don't scare me like that? What are you even doing here?" Kc asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I just don't want a little girl to walk in the dark all alone." Killer responded, enjoying the annoyed expression on her face. "Get lost, I don't need a stupid babysitter." She growled which made him chuckle slightly.
The moment between them didn't last too long when they both turned sharply and was just in time to dodge a bullet that was mere inches from their noses. Using their momentum and acrobatic skills, both of them did a backflip and faced their opponent when they righted themselves.
"Zehahahaha!" Not bad girly!" Black Beard stated with a large hardy laugh.
"Get lost, I already said I'm not joining your crew!" Kc scoff.
"Zehahaha! Nah I don't want you anymore. I just came here to give you your punishment for humiliating me. But if you beg on your knees I might consider forgiving your stupidity." Teach said with a wicked smirk.
Kc only rolls her eyes at the fat man's arrogance. "Like hell I will even beg for your forgiveness fatass. Here's some advice: don't try to grab a girl's butts without asking."
Taking a deep breath she then blasted Teach and most of his crew in a cold breeze of a below freezing temperature.
"Come on Killer, let's go back to the ship now."Kc said as she walked ahead from the mask man. Killer and Kc's eyes widened in shock and fear to see the ice had completely disappeared and was replaced by a black substance.
"Zehahahaha! Nice try but that trick won't work on me. I ate the Dark-Dark fruit, a Logia type. I've become a man made of darkness." Black Beard stated.
Seeing how tense Killer's body was, Kc activated the full power of her devil fruit by completely transforming into an arctic fox-like creature . Her teeth got sharper, her black hair turned into the same color as snow and 2 fluffy tails popped out.
In her full transformation she was now standing on 4 legs and grew 3 times bigger than her normal size.
Kc lunged at her opponent with her fang sticking out and bit down onto the fat, curly hair man's neck. *Ice Fang.*
"Wait Kc, those types of attacks don't work on Logi- '' Killer stopped in mid sentence when blood and ice showed up on Teach's shoulder.
Teach grabbed Kc by her tails and threw her like a football to the blond mask man before clenching his injured shoulder.
"Unlike normal Logia types, I don't get the option of letting stuff pass through me! My body feels far worse pain than the average person in every way possible! But in exchange for accepting that risk, there is one other thing...that I am able to absorb."
"Vortex!" Black beard called out after his hand turned completely black.
Black Beard now had Kc by the throat before landing a bone breaking punch right in her gut.
"Kc!" Killer called out in worry while trying to rush to her aid, only to be stuck from where he was standing with a black substance consuming his legs.
Feeling like all of her energy has been drained, Kc then transforms back to normal before all she could see was darkness.
When Killer and Kc finally woke up after easily being defeated by Marshall D. Teach, both of them had chains restraining their wrists and legs. "Zehahahaha!"
The 2 Kid Pirates then turned their heads to find where the familiar laugh was coming from.
Black Beard then bent down to Kc's height and cupped her chin. "Ah, it looks like the little fox is finally awake."
"Don't touch her!" Killer demanded as he thrashed around in his restraints.
"Aw, don't be that way "Massacre Soldier Killer you're really going to like the show."
" Doc Q, can you strip her down and tie her up onto the pole. We're going to have a little fun." Black Beard stated as he reached in his bag and pulled out a branding iron and long nails.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Kc yelled in pure agony.
After nailing down both her arms and feet, Teach brought out the branding iron and placed it right on top of her chest. The hot steel being pressed against her exposed skin was the worst pain she had ever felt or imagined before in her entire life .
"Ahhhhhh! Killer, help!" She cried out with tears running down her face.
"No! Stop it, take me instead just let her go!" Killer beg, as he has been forced to watch the newest crew member being torture, nailed down, and finally branded and can't do anything about it. Killer didn't know what to do, he has never felt so helpless and weak before, the only thing he can do is watch as Teach beat the poor girl into nothing more than a bloody pulp.
Feeling a sharp pain on his neck, Killer Looked down and saw a long needle.
"Sorry for leaving so soon. " Black Beard stated, leaving the mask man chain onto a tree.
-x-
"Killer, Killer, wake up!" Kid shouted as he tried to shake his buddy awake.
"Where is K-Kc?" Killer asked, remembering all the events the night before he black out.
"We still haven't found her yet, the crew has been searching for you guys when neither one of you wasn't on the ship this morning." Kid explained.
Kid and his first mate turned their heads when they heard Wire's voice. "Captain Kid, we found her but you're not going to like it."
"Get the fuck out of my way!" Kid demanded, wanting to kill anything and anyone at this point.
Scaring away the crowd of people that surrounded a tall pole, Kid and Killer gritted their teeth in anger to see Kc wearing nothing but her underwear and was covered in blood and dark bruises.
"Who did this!?" Kid asked.
"I said who the fuck did this!?" Kid asked again, but a lot more louder but no one still answered.
"Who ever did this, step up or everyone on this fucking island is going to died. So I ask again, who the fuck did this to my crewmate?!" Kid demanded, now becoming more frustrated by the silence.
Cradling the barely alive woman protectively to his chest, Kid and the rest of his crew walked back to the ship, leaving the island completely destroyed in the process.
When Kc woke up, her whole body ached in pain. She slowly opens her eyes, analysing what was around her. She was in the ship's infirmary. Kc winced when she felt a sharp pain in both of her arms, only to find them completely bandaged. She passed her legs on the side, and set one foot on the ground. Swinging her other leg across the bed, she lifted herself off her bed before face planting onto the hard wooden floor. Loud footsteps resound in the hallway and the door slams open to reveal a piss off Kid and his first mate.
Her eyes widening slightly as the shock started to kick in. "Oh no... I'm still dreaming ." Her brown eyes quickly observe the 2 men before her. "I'm still in a coma after jumping off that cliff and I'm going to wake up any time." She said in a hysterical voice.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up, damn it just wake up!" Kc chants as she bangs her head onto the ground, making a small pool of blood form on her bandaged head..
Feeling someone's hand across her head, she then looked up to face the mask man. Killer brought her body close to him and gave her a big hug as he gently stroked her black hair. "I'm sorry, but you're not dreaming. I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to stop those people, could you ever forgive me?"Killer whispered softly into her ear as she kept on sobbing silently in his lean chest .
"All right Romeo, fun time is over. She needs rest." Kid stated as he picked up the injured girl and placed her back onto her bed.
"Thank you, and sorry." Kc muttered in slight gratitude but mostly in guilt as she drifted back into another deep slumber.
"Just don't ever fucking do that again." With that last comment, both Kid and Killer walked out and closed the door.
Kc groaned when she felt someone gently nudging her awake, when she cracked open her eyes she locked sight at a familiar white and blue mask.
"Um, Kc, I brought you your dinner." Killer said while laying down a tray of food.
"Thank you."
Glancing at Kc's bandaged arms that look like little nubs than actual hands, he then looked back up to face the woman's face.
"If you don't mind, I could feed you." Killer offered.
She only shrugged. "Sure, better than starving to death." She closed her eyes and let the spoon travel in her mouth, and to her surprise he was doing it pretty gentle.
KC's eyes widened as she felt a soft hand cup her cheeks. "Killer?!" She said in a confused tone. Then out of nowhere the infirmary's door suddenly slammed open.
"Hey bitch, have you seen Kill-" Before Kid could finish the rest of his sentence he was already bursting in anger at the scene in front of him.
"What the FUCK!" Kid shouted along with some other swear words under his breath.
"Wait Kid, it's not what it looks like." Killer tried to defend himself after getting out of his seat.
"Then what the fuck were you 2 doing alone?!" Kid questioned with cross arms .
"You tried to eat with these things." Kc retorted, shoving her bandage nubs in the red head's face to emphasize her point.
"Fine, then I will feed you." Kid declared.
Before Kc could protest, Kid already shoveled a spoon full of food which made her gag and spit it out all over herself. She panted while Kid held open her mouth with one hand and held the spoon in his other.
"Screw you , I would rather starve." Kc scoffs in annoyance.
"Okay, I guess you won't mind me if I put your food here then?" Kid said sadistically as he moved the tray farther from her reach.
With twitching eyes, Kc called forth her devil fruit power by letting her 2 tails popped out. Extending her fluffy tails to where the tray of food was located, she dragged it back to her and carefully picked up the spoon with one of her tails then started feeding herself while enjoying Kid's expression.
"I didn't know you could do that." Kid stated with widened eyes.
She only shrugged. "Me neither, I guess my hatred toward you motivated me to discover new tricks with my devil fruit ability."
Kid wanted to punch her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it since she is in such a horrible state that she can't even feed herself properly. Usually when he sees people in pain or suffering it always brings him joy, especially to see a woman who has disrespected and talked back to him so much. But for some weird reason he doesn't feel any joy at all to see Kc like this, it made him feel angry either at her but mostly at himself for letting this happen. "Whatever, I hate you too." Kid retorted.
"Ha, I would give you the middle finger but you know my arms were nailed down to a freaking pole." Kc said with the same amount of aggression in her voice.
Sparks started emitted from the pirate captain and the fox-woman by just how deadly they were glaring at each other with pure venom in their eyes.
Zoan-type Devil Fruits grant the user the ability to transform into another species. The three basic form are:
Human Form: The user's natural form before consuming the fruit.
Hybrid Form: A combining the characteristics of both the user's original species and the fruit-bestowed species into an unusual form.
Beast Form : A form in which the user is fully transformed into the fruit-bestowed species.
