Chapter 16: Off to War
"Are we going at full speed Mister Bart?" Law asked and Kc was surprised he was anxious under his calm mask.
"Yes, we will arrive in about 10 minutes." He answered.
"Make it 5." Law demanded and Bart responded with a 'Yes Captain."
Bepo shifted uncomfortable next to her and she noticed the bear, sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall.
"What's wrong?" Kc gazed at him with a worried expression.
"Sailing underwater gets too hot and stuffy." He whined as he struggled to breathe.
"Aww you poor thing, but don't worry I can fix that problem." Kc said before she made a personal snow cloud just for Bepo.
"Thank you, this is too perfect." Bepo responded as he tried to catch small snowflakes onto his tongue.
"No problem, I always do this when it gets too hot on the Victoria Punk. " Kc responded as she patted Bepo's soft furry head.
"Captain, we finally made it!" A pirate who was sitting at one of the control panels stated.
Law then held on the railing on the small platform where he was standing."Then take us up now!" He ordered and both Bart and the other pirate nodded.
"Any more reports?" Law asked calmly.
"They're saying that Ace and Whitebeard are both dead and that One Piece is real."Shachi answered.
"NO ACE! What about his brother! It's his job as an older sibling to watch over the younger ones at all times! He can't die!" Kc shouted.
"Kc." Penguin called out her name gently as he placed a hand onto her back for comfort.
"I'm sorry, but as being the third oldest out of a family of 15 this information is a little too hard to process, knowing he was also an older sibling just like me. But he will forever have my respect."Kc said with gritted teeth.
"It's fine, we don't blame you." Law reassured her.
"How in the hell did Whitebeard die!" Kc demanded with a clench fist.
"Something about a man named Blackbeard and escapees from Impel Down." Law answered which made both Kc and Jean Bart freeze from what they were doing.
Kc began to shake, before she fell onto her knees as she struggled to breathe. "T-that is the s-strongest man in the world and yet Blackbeard still managed to defeat him. You got to be fucking kidding me! That's it, I can't wait any longer to get this thing off of me.`` She shouted after ripping off her shirt. Before anyone could stop her, she already created a small ice dagger and made 2 large cuts onto her chest so she could cross out the brand mark that the Blackbeard Pirates had given to her.
"What the hell! Are you freaking nuts!" Law shouted in slight worry for either her sanity or from the amount of blood lost.
"I don't care, my new goal in life is to live long enough to watch that fat fuck to be put to death." Kc stated expressionlessly while looking Law dead in the eye.
The submarine shook as it resurfaced, Law then opened the door and stepped through it, Kc, Penguin, Shachi, Jean Bart, and several other crew members followed him.
"Bring Straw Hat here!" Law shouted when he saw a clown carrying the former warlord with Luffy in his arms.
As cannons started to fire at the yellow submarine, Kc used the ice that Aokiji had created to form a large ice wall to shield the submarine from any more attacks.
"Too can play that game," Kc said before she made a tall ice pillar so she could get a better view of the marines that were attacking them.
"Ice Cannon!" Kc shouted after she created a large cannon which was bigger than her own body and started firing at all of the battleships.
Losing her balance after Blackbeard used his new devil fruit powers to create an Earthquake, Kc quickly tranforms into her hybrid form and flew away to safety.
Seeing the marines were still attacking against the pirates who were trying to escape and didn't want to fight anymore, Kc then leaped into action.
When she landed back onto the ground, Kc used her twin tails to push as many people she can to safety before creating a large ice wall to block the oncoming bullets.
"What the hell, who is that chick?" One pirate questioned while pointing at the girl.
"Ffufuufufu, what a brave little girl and such an interesting devil fruit user she is as well ." Doflamingo commented while laughing.
"Curiel!" She heard all of the Whitebeard commanders shouted in worry for their burning friend.
Taking a deep breath, Kc uses her ice breath to immediately extinguish the flames that consume the commander's body.
"Ice Cannon!" Kc shouted after she created another large cannon out of ice and shot directly toward the magma man, in which it barely affected him when the large hole on his chest was gone in only a few seconds.
"Who attacked me and who helped this scumbag?!"Akainu growled in annoyance.
"I did, and I'm not going to let you lay a finger on Straw Hat or any of his friends! Believe it!" Kc retorted while pumping out her fist.
"War isn't a place for little girls, go back home and bake some cookies with your mommy."Akainu scoffed as his body turned into magma once again.
"What is a Kid Pirate doing at Marineford." One marine asked in confusion.
"Thank you, I owe you one." The 10th commander of the Whitebeard Pirates that was almost burnt into a living crisp thanked her.
"No need, all of you guys have suffered enough today." Was all Kc said before she did a backflip and flew into the sky again.
"Listen here, no child should ever bear the sins of their parents. Would you call children as heroes just because their parents are heroes? Would you worship a hero's children even if they murdered innocent citizens? Caused havoc? Destroyed lives!"
When she was met with silence, she yelled. "YOU WOULD! THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF MY POINT! I MEAN, WE'RE NOT THE NICEST GUYS BUT AT LEAST WE'RE HONEST ABOUT IT! AND IF FIRE FIST ACE WAS THE MOST SWEETEST AND HEROIC MAN IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD, YOU WOULD STILL EXECUTE HIM FOR AS YOU WILL SAY 'HAVING A BAD BLOODLINE!' "
She said the last part with quotations.
Sengoku suddenly wished the broadcasting wasn't live, what she had stated might sway the public opinion.
"Damn she has spunk, I like her." Izo, the 16th commander of the Whitebeard Pirates commented.
But before she left the area from where all of the commanders were facing the magma man, Kc then signaled to the pirates to cover their ears.
*SILVER HOWL!*
A new large burst of noise could be heard across Marineford, and maybe some neighboring islands, which made the admiral cover his ears and move back a few feet as Kc kept on howling.
But sadly the attack didn't work that much on Akainu and after he managed to collect himself, he shot out multiple magma fist toward the flying woman. Kc tried her best to dodge the raining magma but sadly, some magma managed to get on one of her tails and part of her shoulder as well.
She yelp in pain and immediately fell onto the ground with a loud thud.
"Hey Twin Tails, are you alright?" Marco asked after he bent down and looked over the girl's injuries.
She nodded slightly. "Yeah, but I can't fly anymore if one of my tails is damaged."
Kc then got back up but with slight difficulty, transformed into her beast form , and ran as fast as she could with 4 legs until the yellow submarine was in her sight.
"YOU DONE ENOUGH!" Someone's voice cried loudly over the roaring of people, causing Kc to turn back.
After Cody was done with his speech, Akainu's arm soon turned into magma and was going to kill the young marine right then and there.
It all happened very quickly, Akainu was seconds away from killing Cody and the next second someone had blocked the hot, blistering magma with a sabre.
Shank picked up the hat from the ground and declared. "I'm here to end this war!"
Marines far and wide gasped in shock, some even commenting about how he had a fight with Kaido and yet made it just in the nic of time.
"Hey Twin Tails, give this back to one of my old friends." Shank said before throwing Luffy's hat toward her. After Kc easily caught the straw hat with her mouth, she made a mad dash back to the sub.
"Come on captain!" Bepo pleaded. "I know it's rare to see one of the Emperors but we're almost underwater." "Hang on!" Law said as he saw a figure of a fox up onto the deck.
The submarine went fully under just after she hopped inside.
Noticing the submarine had stopped shaking from Aokiji's ice attack, Kc slumped down onto the metal ground only to yell in pure agony when she felt a sharp pain in her right arm.
"Kc!"John, one of the medics, yelled in worry and rushed toward her.
"I-I'm okay." She said with gritted teeth.
The medic pulled away her hand from her shoulder and grimaced at the burning red skin. "You have third degree burns all over your shoulder and a broken arm as well. Come on, I will take you to the infirmary." He said.
"Just leave me alone and go take care of Straw Hat, his injuries are 10 times worse than mine. " Kc stated as she inches away from the medic.
Before she could protest, John lifted her and started carrying her.
"What the?!" She shrieked.
"You may not be one of us, but I'm not going to let a little girl suffer like this." John stated.
"I'm freaking 18, you don't look that much older than me." She retorted.
After John opens the infirmary door, he immediately places Kc onto one of the beds.
"What is her status?" Another medic asked.
"She has third degree burns on her shoulder and her right arm is broken as well." John reported.
Not able to keep her eyes open, Kc then soon fell into a deep slumber as John and the other medic treated her.
-x-
When Kc woke up, she saw some of her shoulder and arms completely bandaged with a small note attached onto her cast.
The note said: "Stay here and rest."
Crumbling the note and throwing it into the trash, Kc got up despite how much pain she was in and made her way to the door.
Using her good hand to cover her eyes from the bright light, Kc stepped onto the deck and saw most of the Heart Pirates already there.
"You're supposed to be resting." A voice she knows too well stated from behind.
"Got bored." Kc responded.
Not caring when Law glared at her, Kc looked around in her surroundings and realized the submarine was surrounded with nothing but women.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"The Island of Women." Shachi answered with drool coming from his mouth.
"They can stay on the bay so they won't be attacked by sea kings."Lady Nyon said then her eyes landed on the only female on the Heart Pirates submarine. "But that girl over there is welcome to the village."
"Girl?" The native women began to chatter again when they finally noticed Kc amongst the men on the deck of the sub.
"There is a girl."
"Why is she with those men?"
"Is she a prisoner among them?"
Then one of the native women showed them where they will be staying until Straw Hat Luffy wakes up.
"Bye Trafalgar, I really need to get back to my crew." Kc said before she tried to take off into the sky but soon face planted onto the sand.
"Hey Kc, are you alright?" Most of the Heart Pirates asked as they crowded her.
"Oh yeah I forgot, I can't fly anymore. Aww man this really sucks. " Kc muttered while her face was still in the sand.
Taking off her shoes, Kc tried the next best thing in order to escape from the Island of Women, which was turning the ocean into her icey pathway.
Not even 5 minutes into her walk, multiple Sea Kings popped up and tried to eat her in one big gulp.
"Shit!" Kc cursed her luck, not able to protect herself properly since one of her arms was still in a cast.
"Room, shambles!" Law called out his room and she was immediately in his arms.
"Looks like you're stuck with us." Law stated with a small smirk.
"Shut up, you don't know that. " Kc retorted as she ran onto the sea, only to stop when the same thing happened again.
After 17th tries later, Kc gave up and was now sulking under a tree with both of her knees curled up close to her chest.
"If it makes you feel any better, you got pretty close with your 9th try," Penguin said while patting her back in a comforting way .
"Yeah, creating that ice ramp and raft wasn't a bad idea. Or how in your 14th try you managed to take down a couple of Sea Kings. " Shachi added while patting her back as well.
"Shut up, I don't need your guys stupid pity." Kc said with a small pout which made everyone blush slightly on just how cute she looked.
"Leave her alone." A deep feminine voice demanded which made Kc looked up from where she was sitting.
"Come with me so I can take you away from these disgusting men. " Kikyo, one of the native women in Amazon Lily said while holding out her hand.
A woman with short blond hair then walked toward her. "Hi there, my name is Margaret. That's Kikyo, Sweet Pea and Aphelandra." She gestured to the women when she said their names.
They all, but Kikyo, waved happily when their names were spoken. Then Margaret turned back to Kc. "What's yours?"
"Kc, but some people also call me Twin Tails." Kc replied.
"Well, Kc, it is very nice to meet you. We would really like it if you would join us so we can show you our home. " Kc then stared at the young woman's outstretched hand. Margaret's snake eyed at Kc's ferret like it was a piece of food which made Kenzo growl and light his tail on fire in response .
Law and the Heart Pirates silently watched to see what Kc's choice would be.
"Fine with me." Kc said after she grabbed Margaret's hand and pulled herself up.
"You're just going to leave us like that." Penguin said with a small frown.
"Yeah, I thought we were getting along just fine." Shachi said with a frown as well.
"Did you guys forget I already belong to a different crew?" Kc asked with a raised eyebrow which made everyone sigh in defeat.
"We know." They all said in disappointment.
"First things first," Kikyo said with authority. "She must be fitted into more proper clothing. Come, child."
The small group of women walked inside a clothing store. And , within a few minutes, Kc found herself dressed in one of the island's traditional outfits. It was a solid orangish and red open bikini top, matching bikini bottoms with a light brown, frill on the hips.
"Aphelandra clapped sweetly. "She's so cute, I really like this one on her."
Looking at herself in the mirror, Kc wasn't much of a fan with the color so with one flick with her wrist, she turned her outfit to have more of a winter theme.
Her top and bottom had completely turned white and light blue color with small snowflake patterns to go with it.
"How did you do that?" Kikyo asked in slight amazement as she and the rest of the women checked out Kc's new snowy outfit.
"My devil fruit allows me to change the style of my clothing sometimes,"She explained casually.
"Can you change mine?" One woman asked excitedly.
"Me too." Another woman said excitedly as well.
"Sure, everyone get into an orderly line and wait your turn." Kc said with a small shrug.
For the past week and a half Kc spent all of her time with the Kuja tribe, learning their culture, how they fight, and most importantly what type of food they ate.
Knowing where she would meet up with her crew by using the island's main Transponder Snail, Kc enjoyed her time with the Kuja tribe to the fullest.
After both her arm and tails were fully healed, she was finally able to fly and fight again to the fullest.
On her last day with the Kuja tribe, Kc performed for the Pirates Empress herself and all the women at Amazon Lily as thanks for having and being so kind to her.
Carrying the large bag of goodies that the women from Amazon Lily had given to her, Kc made her way back to the beach so she could say goodbye to the Heart Pirates as well.
"Kc." All of the male pirates greeted her happily.
"So tell us, what was it like in the village." Penguin asked with a small tint of pink on his face.
"It was wonderful, especially their bathhouses. But sadly I don't have time to chat, my crew needs me back. " Kc said as she got ready for take off.
"You know Kc-ya, it is still not too late to become a part of my crew." Law offered again with a small smirk while he lied back onto a tree.
"Nah I'm good , but tell Luffy I wish him well." Kc said to all of the Heart Pirates before she transformed into her full beast form and took to the sky with the bag of goodies in her mouth.
-x-
After a few days of flying while taking breaks in between by creating a mini boat out of ice, Kc finally saw the Victoria Punk.
Dropping her bag where it would landed on Kid's head, everyone on the deck was silent before they looked up and smiled.
"Did you guys miss me?" Kc asked as she landed onto the deck.
"Hell no, 2 weeks without you was the best 2 weeks of my damn life." Kid shouted as he nursed his sore head. Then he and everyone else started examine Kc's new and quite revealing outfit.
"And what the fuck are you wearing!" Kid demanded as he tried to hide his blushing face and the tightness around his pants.
"My new outfit I got from Amazon Lily, which is also known as the Island of Women." She answered smugly.
Kid growl from the lustfill stares that his crewmates were giving her, so he took off his jacket and then threw it at Kc.
"Stop hoeing around, bitch!" Kid demanded with gritted teeth.
"I'm not hoeing around, the women from Amazon Lily told me as a warrior I should show off my body with pride. " Kc declared loudly with her fists high in the air.
"Whatever, get rape for all I care. Our next designation is the New World!" Kid yelled which made everyone cheer loudly.
"We should have a party, for the new chapter in our lives and for Kc's new bounty as well!" Killer exclaimed excitedly while holding up a piece of paper that had a picture of Kc on it.
The bounty poster said: Wanted Dead or Alive Twin Tails Kc with a bounty of 201,000,000 beri.
"Holy crap, my bounty had double!" Kc stated with wide unbelieving eyes.
"Of course it did, first you kicked a Celestial Dragon in the nuts, second you went to Marineford and participated in the 'War of the Best' and finally you attacked Akainu and even went so far as telling him off while he was being broadcasted live. Not only that but you are also accomplices for helping Straw Hat Luffy escape, a man worth 400,000,000 beri and is the only biological son of the most wanted man in the whole entire world. I'm surprised it didn't triple." Heat stated with pride written all over his voice.
"Yeah, you shoulda seen Killer when you stood up against Akainu, he was about to have a damn panic attack." Wire said then all of the men started laughing which made him blush under his mask.
"Well, sorry for caring if she dies! I didn't want Akainu to donutted her like he did to Fire Fist Ace ." Killer defended as he threw his hands in the air dramatically.
"Killer, I promise you I'm not going to die until my new goal is achieved."Kc stated with a small smirk.
"And what is your new goal exactly?" This time it was Kid who asked.
"Live long enough to watch Blackbeard be put to death." Kc said seriously.
"Good, so you're not going to die on me anytime soon." Kid stated with a wide grin.
"Eustass Kid, I swear on my life I'm not going to die until my new dream comes true. Believe it!" She said while pumping out her fist.
Kid only ruffled her hair in response. "Then you need to get stronger because the New World is 10 times worse than the Grand Line."
If you want me to continue this story, then please help me achieve my goal of getting a 100 favorites or followers for this story. And let me know who do you ship Kc with, there are a lot of good choices for her. Date- 2/2/21 Thank you for reading.
