1 Piece SOUL SONGs

"Mama." Amande for once looked a bit nervous as she approached her mothers throne, causing the woman to look at her and laugh.
"Did Straw Hat squeal already Amande?" Big Mom asked with a laugh and earning a frown and shake of the head from her daughter.
"Then what brings you here?" Big Mom asked frowning now as she stared at her daughter who hid her face behind her hat.
"I…I've met him mama…I've met my soul-mate." Amande finally said after a moment and making her mothers head snap from the pastry she had been reaching for to her daughter in an instant.
"Everyone but Amande leave now!" Big Mom ordered and instantly the Chess Peacekeepers and Homies all left, as did the few of her siblings loitering around at the moment.
"Come here sweetheart and tell Mama about him." Big Mom's voice was a lot softer now as she patted her leg for her daughter to sit on her lap. No matter how old or strong her babies got they were still her babies and she was very protective of them, especially her daughters. She wasn't the best mother, she knew it and she admitted it, but when it came to things like Soul-mates she was certainly one of the best mothers to talk with their children about it.
"Mama…you hate him. I know as soon as the soul song was over that you'd probably deny that it ever happened." Amande said her voice soft and she wanted to go find comfort with her mother but right now…she wasn't sure if it was a good idea. Not with who her mate was.
"It's impossible to deny a soul bond, especially one with a song. Besides…haven't you learned by now that I dislike most people who are soul bonded to my children? I don't like having to give my babies away for good." Big Mom said smiling as she reached forward and picked her daughter up gently, hugging her lightly and knocking Amande's hat off but Amande didn't care about that at the moment as she buried her face in her mothers dress. She was a full grown woman yes…but she had also just had a life altering thing happen and she needed the comfort her mother only ever provided when there was no one around to see the feared Emperor's 'soft' side.
"Mama…my other half is Straw Hat." Amande finally whispered that out and winced slightly when she felt her mother stiffen. The large finger that had been softly stroking her hair and back had paused before Big Mom let out a heavy sigh and resumed comforting her daughter who relaxed a bit when she felt her mother relax.
"Then we should get him out of the cells and start planning your wedding shouldn't we? If he promises to behave and get his crew to behave tell him I'll give him back his cook after Puddings wedding. We'll have to alter the plans a bit but it's nothing we can't handle." Big Mom said causing Amande's eyes to widen a bit before she beamed brightly up at her mother, smiling brighter than she had since she was a child.
"Thank you mama." Amande said gratefully while Big Mom merely smiled and cuddled her daughter as much as she could without accidentally squishing her.
"Anything for one of my babies." Big Mom said smiling softly.
Two months later and Straw Hat Luffy was wearing a deep red and black suit as he stood at the alter waiting on his soon to be wife, having been labeled a Yonko after beating the crap out of Kaido with Amande right by his side.
After the fight and after he was done healing from it, the two of them had come back to Whole Cake Island for their wedding and right now the marines were probably panicking at the thought of two Yonko being in an alliance due to a Soul Bond.
Luffy had gotten the approval of all of his soon to be in laws the very first time he had attended a meal with them and had somehow made Amande laugh out loud. Anyone who could make their closed off and distant sister laugh, was someone who they would welcome to the family with open arms soul bond or no soul bond.
"Wow…I'd say you were beautiful…but that's an understatement." Luffy said wide eyed and grinning as Amande walked down to the alter in a blue and green wedding dress, although her sword was at her side like always. They were pirates after all and none of them would put it past the marines to try and attack them during the wedding.
"Charmer." Amande said her cheeks a bit darker behind her veil as she stood at the alter with him, his legs having been stretched so that he was as tall as her now.
"Only for you." Luffy said cheerfully and making her cheeks go a slightly darker shade.
"Does that make him a Snake Charmer o-" Cracker's joke was cut off by Amande spinning around and slamming her sheathed sword into the top of his head, knocking him to the floor with a slew of curses leaving his mouth while Luffy laughed.
"I've…felt cold and distant…numb…to almost everything ever since I was little…when I met you though…being around you makes me feel…warm…happy. I feel warm not just on the outside but also on the inside with you around- and I swear that if I hear one joke about that I'm going to neuter the one responsible with the flat of my sword!" Amande began saying her vows before shooting a glare at her siblings, some of whom had started snickering at her chosen words to say.
"If it makes you feel better…I didn't know what love was until I met you! I thought it was some kind of sickness or something you eat, but then I met you and I realized what it was. To me…you're love because I love you so much!" Luffy said trying to calm her down a bit and instead making her blush slightly as she looked back at him.
"Romantic idiot." Amande said with a small heartfelt smile on her face.
"Your romantic idiot!" Luffy said cheerfully and making Amande's smile widen even though her blush deepened.
"Damn right you are." Amande said pulling Luffy into a kiss and causing the others to sweat drop.
"Well I guess this counts as the 'I do's. May I present Mr. and Mrs. Monkey!" The priest said causing there to be clapping, some cheers, and even a few wolf whistles from the audience.
"Wow…look at em go. It must've been at least two minutes now." Compote said with a whistle at how long the kiss was going on for. Most kisses at weddings for the family were just small swift pecks, this was a full on kiss that was now lasting three minutes.
"Shishishishi. That was fun." Luffy said when they finally separated at the five minute mark, him resting his forehead against hers.
"I agree, my Pirate King." Amande said knowing full well that her husband was going to be the king of pirates, she was able to tell that much from the fights against Kaido.
"Let's do it again, my Queen." Luffy said causing her to smile and blush a bit harder but move in for another kiss.
"Okay you two! Save it for the honeymoon." Cracker said laughing as he sprayed the two with champagne, causing Amande to hiss as she chased after him with her sword.
"What's a honey moon?" Luffy asked curiously.
"You're going to find out. Sister Amande will have fun teaching you all about married life." Smoothie said with a snicker, making Amande blush furiously and try to whack Smoothie with her sheathed sword.
"Who knows? I might get some grandchildren out of you two soon." Big Mom said with a laugh while Amande blushed furiously and looked at Luffy who was confused.
"What does a honey moon have to do with the mystery bird that delivers babies?" Luffy asked honestly confused and causing everyone to stop and stare at him for a full moment of silence. Then some of the guys started hooting in laughter.
"Oh Sister do you have your work cut out for you!" One laughed loudly while Amande blushed brightly and slipped over to Luffy's side again where he wrapped his arm around her without thinking about it.
"The look on his face when he finds out is going to be priceless!" Citron was laughing as well and Luffy smirked a bit as he leaned close to Amande so that only she could hear his next words.
"Think we should them that I'm just trolling the hell out of em now?" Luffy asked quietly making Amande look at him surprised for a moment, causing him to smile and wink at her, before she began giggling a bit.
"Let em believe that you're clueless and innocent for a while longer. More fun for us that way." Amande whispered back making him grin wider at her.
"She's trying to tell him already! Wait till you can give him a demonstration of the process sis." One of the ones further back called earning more laughter from everyone while Luffy blinked innocent eyes at him that did not fool Big Mom or the two oldest Charlotte siblings.
Amande was trying her best to hide her laughter from them all. Her husband was trolling them and they wouldn't know it for a while yet.
More than a few of the Charlottes with children of their own already or even those who were more prudish was blushing brightly and looking horrified at Luffy's next 'innocent' question.
"There's a process to summon the mystery baby bird? How does it work?"
