1 PIECE another time travel

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
It was two weeks of continuous planning sent back and forth between the three Queens before the plan was set and ready to be activated. Reiju was given an assignment out near Kaidou's islands so she would pick up Yamato while she was there after their plan activated and then they'd sail two days to Whole Cake Island to grab Galette before they left for Fishman Island using the Eternal Log Pose that Reiju had swiped for it.
One of the best parts? They'll try to have some of the threats, even if they weren't actual threats to the King and his crew anymore, to take each other out long before the King would have to deal with them.
Smirking as she stopped at the meeting place Reiju grinned slightly as she waited. It wouldn't be long now until her wife joined her…and best of all since she was on a spying mission that meant she wasn't using one of the giant snails or anything that could identify the boat or her as being part of Germa.
A day ago with Yamato
"These have arrived for you Yamato-sama." One of the low ranked Beast Pirates said walking over to Yamato with a large box during the feast and making her look up and smirk slightly behind her mask as two other smaller boxes were set down beside her.
"Are you expecting anything son?" Kaidou asked looking at his son who shook his head in the negative.
"No. Does it say who's it from?" Yamato asked as she accepted the large box from the low rank crewmember.
"It says it's from a secret admirer but there's a note with it. I didn't open it." The man said respectfully and Yamato raised an eyebrow, not that anyone saw it.
"Let's see." Yamato moved to open the biggest box first, setting the note aside.
"Wait master!" Ulti's cry of alarm came too late as an explosion ripped through the box and slammed into Yamato full force, two more smaller explosions going off at the same time from the other boxes that had been set near her.
"Yamato!" Kaidou seemed stunned and horrified as he watched his son take the full brunt of all three explosions and collapse to the ground unmoving. The pirates near her that hadn't been sturdy or ranked had been killed almost immediately while those who were stronger or ranked had managed to escape with either major or minor injuries depending on if they had managed to jump away or activate their armament Haki in time.
"Young master!" Ulti rushed to Yamato's side as had Kaidou and they knelt down beside the mask wearer.
"Yamato! Yamato talk to me!" Kaidou demanded as he held his son and felt how weak his Haki had gotten and how it was getting weaker still as he held his son in his arms.
"D…ad?" Yamato managed to weakly gasp out and there was a dribble of blood coming out from under the mask.
"Hang on Yamato! Just hang on for me!" Kaidou said and he was so worried and panicked that Yamato felt guilty for the briefest of moments for the deception she was playing.
"It hurts…who…?" Yamato managed to gasp out, more blood falling from the mask.
"Read that note and find out who dared to do this! And where the hell are the doctors!?" Kaidou demanded as he held his son in his arms and glared up at everyone.
"There might not be much they can do for her sir, her wounds….they're internal…unless someone has a healing Devil Fruit then…" Ulti trailed off making Kaidou curse violently as he held his son closer to his chest.
"Sir…the note…" One of the lower ranked ones who managed to survive the blast, probably because he hadn't been as close as the others, said having opened the note and quickly read it…and his voice was almost disbelieving.
"What about it? Who dared do this to my son?!" Kaidou demanded glaring darkly at the one who read the note.
"It…it says… 'Consider this a warning about what happens when you refuse a God's advances. Maybe next time you'll think before you say no.' And it has a little flamingo drawn on it." The man said wincing at the furious output of Haki from his captain.
"I'm going to slaughter that pathetic worm." Kaidou growled and his large amount of Haki exerted hid how Yamato's was seemingly growing weaker and weaker.
"Da…d…it…it hurts…" Yamato whimpered again and Kaidou immediately reeled in his Haki as he clutched his son tighter. All the damage was internal and none of their doctors could heal that, none of them had any kind of healing abilities just medical knowledge.
"I know it does son. I promise he won't get away with this. Why didn't you tell me he had made advances on you?" Kaidou asked and his voice was surprisingly gentle as he looked down at his son.
"Did…didn't…thi…nk…you….car…ed…" Yamato's words were getting weaker and his breathing more shallow, that backed by his quickly fading Haki showed that he was too far gone.
"Of course I care. I'm sorry I made you think I don't. I love you Yamato." Kaidou said and he was heartbroken as he held his son…his daughter in his arms as she lay dying thanks to one of his own subordinates.
"Lov…" Yamato couldn't finish the word before he fell limp in his fathers arms and his Haki vanished completely.
"Yamato! Yamato wake up!" Kaidou demanded but he knew it was too late, his son was gone.
"Young master…" Ulti was stunned as her hands hovered slightly in the air as if she wanted to help but wasn't sure how.
Kaidou held his deceased son…no his deceased daughter close for a moment or two more before he gently lowered her to the floor.
"Ulti…take him to be prepared for burial. We bury him in three days time." Kaidou ordered making the woman nod and gather Yamato in her arms and leave the room, taking the body to the area where they usually buried the honorable dead of the Beast Pirates.
Back to current time with Reiju
"It's about time. I was starting to get worried." Reiju said smirking as a tall thin but well toned form jumped down from the island and landed in the water next to the ship, swimming over with ease despite the large kanabo on her back.
"Sorry. Had to be careful to avoid anyone's sights after I knocked out the guard. Left enough clues for them to think that DonFlamingo took my body so it'll be a while before they realize that they've been had and I'm alive." Yamato said smiling as she pulled herself up onto the ship.
"That's good. Gives us more time to pick up Galette and then get further away." Reiju said as she quickly steered them away from the island and towards Totto-land to get their other wife.
"It's nice to see you again Rei-chan." Yamato said smiling softly as she looked at her wife who smiled back.
"It's good to see you as well Yamato, and I'm sorry because I know how uncomfortable it is but can you please keep your Haki under lock and key until we're at least to Dressarossa?" Reiju asked making Yamato nod her head.
"Yeah it's no problem. Remind me to thank our husband for showing us how to make our Haki feel as if it's disappeared and not there at all. I wouldn't have been able to fake my own death without that trick." Yamato said making Reiju nod her head in agreement.
"Yeah Galette will have to do the same. With any luck though we'll be seeing our husband and Nakama in less than three months." Reiju said smiling as she set them on the proper course and got ready to relax for a little while.
"Until then we'll just have to settle for each other…not that I'm complaining mind you." Yamato said grinning as she gently wrapped her arms around Reiju who smiled and leaned back into her tall loves body.
"Not at all. After all we married each other just as we did Luffy." Reiju said and then leaned her head back as Yamato leaned down and the two of them shared a gentle kiss.
"I can't wait to be able to call you my wife again and have the ring to prove it." Yamato said smiling and making Reiju laugh lightly.
"Me either love. Do you prefer to be called our husband this time around or wife?" Reiju asked knowing how her love had presented herself as male and disguised herself as such for a long time now and had even in the future after their marriage struggled between whether to present as male or female. Not that it bothered any of the crew, they just wanted to make sure they used the proper pronouns for her.
"I'll be a wife as long as I'm not disguised…most of the Beast Pirates don't even know I'm a woman after all so it'd keep the ruse of me being dead going for a little longer. You'll know when I'm having a 'male' day." Yamato assured and Reiju nodded her head.
"Alright as long as you're comfortable…besides it's funny seeing the Marines heads implode as they tried to figure it out." Reiju said snickering a bit at the end and earning a laugh from Yamato.
"One good thing about being a pirate, as long as you're strong no one gives a damn if you're male, female, both, or neither!"
