Chapter 12
We arrived at the grand line but we haven't found Shanks yet . I was starting getting worried.
Why didn't he arrived yet ?
" Robin did you hear anything about Shanks being here? " I turned towards Robin ,who was our intelligence gatherer .
" They haven't said anything about him being here but I heard there was some conflict between him and Kaido. Not sure what happened " explained Robin.
" Should we continue sailing or should wait somewhere around here? In a neighbor island? "I asked.
" We need to keep moving. It' s dangerous to stay at one place. It increases the chance of getting recognized" she commented and we nodded.
Our next destination was Alabasta. Somehow Robin found an eternal pose and we headed there.
It was different from the anime, it still had some trees.
We were walking when suddenly some kids grabbed us.
They wanted us to join their forces.
They apparently were playing war and had two bases.
The people in each base changed from time to time and I was in Vivi's group.
" I am Vivi and we welcome at our group. This time the war is :girls vs the boys. " she smiled.
" I am Tsukiko, nice to meet you! And we are going to win this war honey.
Our main problem is Ace and Sabo but if you capture Luffy, the one with the Strawhat ,they will both lose their temper and then we will win " I commented .
She nodded, " You should also watch out for Kohza. He is their leader" she warned.
" I will Vivi. Now let's go,we must make them eat our dust "I pumped my fist in the air.
We attacked and it seemed that most boys were attacking me. The others must warned them.
'Sorry boys but we fight Marines frequently, this is easy in comparison'
I used my speed and smacked with my hands some pressure points ,to paralyze them momentarily.
" Shit! Take her out at all costs. She took out half of our forces" yelled Kozha.
I looked at Vivi and she nodded.
She captured Luffy.
" Luffy! " two voices shouted and I went towards them.
They were both distracted, so I quickly attacked Sabo.
" Tsukiko! I should have known! It was your plan. " he spat.
" Now now, don't be a sore loser. You know I am tactician, you should have expected something like this " while putting a sticker on him.
To take someone out, you must put a sticker on them.
We were playing after all,no need to make someone unconscious.
Luffy already had a sticker ,courtesy of Vivi.
The only ones left were Ace and Kozha.
" Vivi you take Kohza, I t will handle Ace" I shouted and she left.
Ace was smirking ,flames coming out from him.
" You think you can take me out ,on a fight Luna? " he mocked.
" Head on, hell no. But I have a plan. " I commented.
" I don't think you can defeat me with your plans" he smirked more.
Well the truth was ,I didn't have a plan but I am not going to admit it.
I had some pride.
So I attacked head on. His eyes widened.
" What are you doing? You know you can't touch me, you will burn yourself " he hissed.
I didn't answer I tried to punch him and he became fire.
My hands burned a little.
I left a hiss of pain and he transformed in human again.
" Tsukiko! You stupid girl! " he yelled.
Suddenly I felt a sticker on me.
I turned around and saw Kohza.
He had defeated Vivi.
"Sorry Tsukiko, I lost" Vivi bowed her head.
"It's okay Vivi, I lost too " I smiled.
She smiled back.
I felt a bump in my head.
"What was that for? " I whined at Ace.
" For being stupid and making me worry. Now go put some ointment to your hands " he instructed.
After being together with Ace for so long, he started being more caring and overprotective.
He probably thinks because he is the older amongst us, the children,he is responsible for us.
He even worries about Robin who is older than him.
But that doesn't mean he isn't cocky.
I treated my hands and now we were sitting in a circle.
" So Tsukiko, how long are you going to stay?" asked a red faced boy.
He was the fifth one who asked me.
" I don't now sweety but I don't think for long " I beamed at him.
He became more red.
Next to me were sitting Ace and Sabo.
Ace was growling but I don't know what made him like that.
Sabo looked wide-eyed.
" As you can see I gained a fan club. Told you I am cute enough. Where is your's? " I whispered while looking smug.
" Shut up. They are just babies" Ace spat.
" I recall red-face boy number 3 was older than you"I teased.
"They are just stupid! " he replied.
"You know Vivi has a crush on Ace. So don't be so smug. Vivi is a princess and your fun club is made from normal people ". whispered Sabo.
Both of our eyes widened.I looked at Vivi and she was looking at Ace and her ears were a little pink.
" I charmed a princess. She is pretty, smart, funny and has guts! Your's on the other hand are plain" he taunted.
" Oh so you like the princess? " I asked a little strained.
" Maybe I do" he smirked looking me in the eyes.
" Vivi ,dear ,do you want to switch seats? I want to speak to Kohza. He seemed like a great leader"I smirked.
" What are you doing? " Ace hissed.
" Helping you, of course. You said that you like the princess and I will create an opportunity to talk with her" I replied.
" I thought you liked Ace! Shouldn't you hate Vivi? Be jealous? Or something like that? " asked Sabo.
" Of course I like Ace. But I can't force him to like me.
And if he likes someone else I am not going to be petty and try to seperate them.
Plus I like Vivi, if it was someone who I didn't like on the other hand, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty " I winked and they stared dumbfounded.
I sitted next to Kohza and we started talking but his eyes kept flickering towards Vivi .
Vivi was talking to Ace and was blushing a little.
Ace seemed uncomfortable and tried to put Sabo in the middle but Sabo didn't want to meddle.
" You know Kohza, I know you like Vivi. I like Ace too " I whispered.
" How can you be so calm then? "he asked.
" Vivi is just fascinated by Ace, it will go away. Plus we will leave in some days .Also I have a feeling Ace doesn't like Vivi. " I whispered in his ear.
The temperature started rising.
" Tsukiko let's change seats! " yelled Sabo.
I nodded a little confused and sat next to Ace and Vivi.
Vivi turned towards me and asked
" So you like Kohza? "
I suddenly felt really hot, I looked around and saw everyone was sweating.
it must be the temperature of the desert '
" Well he certainly is charming! But I already love someone else. " I laughed and looked at Ace .
" Really? Who? Sabo" she kept asking.
" Like hell! And Sabo likes Robin, you know the big black haired girl" I chuckled.
" No way, she is old " said Vivi in disbelief.
"She is 18 and he is 12 . When they are older, age won't really matter." I commented.
Ace didn't comment on it nor he looked surprised, that meant that Sabo had told him.
" So vivi, one day you should come travel with us. We will always welcome you"I commented and hoped that if Vivi has the same problem again with Arabasta , she will come to us for help.
"Thank you, I would love to. But as a princess I can't really travel sadly" she frowned.
" I will sent you letters from our adventures, that way you will know about the sea and all those different places. And if you ever have trouble, we can try come to help" I said.
" Really? Thank you! " she hugged me.
" That's what friends are for" I beamed at her.
We were preparing to leave.
" Do you really have to leave, so early? " pouted Vivi.
" It's dangerous to stay more! We are wanted after all" I laughed.
" But no one, would dare to search at the palace" she argued.
"We will cause you trouble if we are seen at the palace" I reminded her.
She stopped arguing, after all she knew I was right.
We said goodbye and left.
When we were far enough from Alabasta anymore Ace shouted " Finally! We left! "
" I thought you liked Vivi"I teased.
" She was a good girl but really clingy. And Kohza glared at me all the time, along with your fanclub" he shouted .
"You are exaggerating! " I chuckled.
" I am not! Sabo tell her! "he yelled.
" He is saying the truth. When you weren't there ,she was saying something about babies"Sabo shivered.
" It is a fact that Ace will have cute babies, especially if they inherit his freckles! But I think she would be terrified if she saw your appetite!
Can you imagine if the children of the three of you inherit your apetite? The rest of us will starve" I jocked.
"I would be more afraid if Luffy ' s kids inherit his stupidity " Ace laughed.
"I would be really scared of your kids Tsukiko. You are terrifying when you are mad! Thank god you are usually calm" Sabo said.
" But if Tsukiko has kids with Ace and they inherit his temper, it would be a sight to behold " chuckled Robin.
Sabo thought about it a little and suddenly paled " I think if that happens, you should kill me"
" You are my brother, they won't kill you, If I don't tell them at least" smirked Ace.
"Don't worry Sabo, I will teach them everything I know" I said with a glint in my eyes.
" That doesn't make me feel any better, in fact I feel worse" he whined.
" Scaredy - cat. You are afraid of little children. Don't you have any pride? " I mocked.
" Don't care that much about my pride. I prefer my life and sanity. If I am right you are supposed to be a cute child? Right? But in reality you are a demon! " he yelled.
" I can't deny it. I sold a soul to the devil. But I sold yours" I said with a spooky voice or tried to.
" See? That's not a cute child! "he shook his head.
"By the way, where is our next stop? " I asked.
"At a small island called Langria " he informed me.
"I hope there won't be any marines" I said .
" It is a pretty small island, I don't think we will find anything there " he shrugged
"I hope so" I replied.
And I really was hoping that all of our stops would be like Alabasta.
A/N: This chapter was more fluffy.
Someone asked me if I liked to write One piece stories. The truth is that I love to write generally. When I write I listen to music and I imagine the people, the dialogues etc, like the storie is real life. Sadly I usually don't have much time or I don't have inspiration ( when I am tired) to write. I have many ideas but I don't have the talent and the time to write them. So I hope you liked this. Thanks for reading!
