Draco's Crew: Holiday Surprise
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.
Look at all the Treasure
Malchior lay on his bed as he sigh and shut his eyes, Maybe a lil nap would help me out., he though as he cross his leg, as the horoscope seem to repeat in his head, which was giving him a huge headache.
Draco open his eyes and rolled in bed, trying to take a nap, but for some reason, he feel some wrong in the air, "This feeling.....I know this feeling....but where."
-at the eastern side of town-
"So, should we get one, Rae?", Gar ask as he and the blue hair woman look at different sizes and types of Christmas tree.
"I don't know.", Rae answer as she look at the trees and turn to her childhood friend, "Maybe we should let the captain choose..."
"Aww...are you having trouble picking out a tree?", said almost bald head (had three green hairs in a really bad comb over), overweight man, wearing a brown leather coat, brown mitt, black pants, and a pair of boots, "Maybe I can help, cause here at Crazy Eddy's tree lot, that's me, Crazy Eddy, have a couple of rules." Eddy grin cheesy as he grab a hold of Gar's and Rae's hands, shaking them at the same time, "That one of those rule is always make sure that the customer walk out with a tree at a very low price."
"Let me guess.", Rae let go of the Eddy's hand and glare at him as she cock a brow, "One the other rules are the tried to sale all the tree, trying to make a gain lots of belli?"
"What are you talking about, Rae?", Gar ask as he look at the blue hair woman, who was slightly smirking, as she glare at the man.
"No it's not.", Eddy said as he weakly smile and begin to sweat. How the hell did she figure it out!?, the almost bald man thought as he grin weakly, and glance side to side, noticing many of his customers look at them, I better think of something... , then he gulp as he seen Rae's glove hands started to glow light green, "Umm....How about a tree on the house?"
"Sound good to me.", Rae said as the glow seem to disappear from her hand, making Gar chuckle to himself.
"Alright.", Eddy said as he grin weakly, "Pick anyone tree, except that one.", point to a 20 foot tall evergreen, that's already been decorated with gold, silver, and glass ornaments, tinsel, red ribbons, and on the top of it was a huge star made out of crystal, "That's one is for the town."
"That's fine with us.", Rae said with a grin as she turn to Gar, who just blink, trying to figure out what's going on with the three beard men, dress in red, enter the area, looking at the town's Christmas tree, but decide just forget it and smile at his friend.
"Alright let's go get us a tree.", Gar said with a goofy grin as he took hold of Rae's arm and pulled her toward the huge trees, making a snow fly and cover the overweight, bald man to his neck.
"A bunch of blackmailing brats.", Eddy mutter as he dug himself out of the snow and walk over to the three beard men, "How can Crazy Eddy help you fine gentlemen?"
"You can help us by telling about that tree.", said the tallest out of three men as he stared at the Eddy's eyes.
"Yes....master....", Eddy said as he look into the man's red eyes, almost zombie-like.
-somewhere near the tree lot-
Ayame smile as she look around, listen to the bells around her, passing a few guys dress as Santa, who was asking for donations. She keep moving down the road, looking around the area, but came to a stop, in front of a brown hair man wearing a brown jacket, gray sweater, brown slacks, brown shoes, and a Santa's hat, who was getting set up.
"Hello.", the man said as he lean down, opening up a case, "What bring you here?"
"Just looking around.", she said as she notice a gold cross around his neck, as well as the man, pulled out a golden saxophone, "So are you any good with the sax?"
"I don't know.", he said as he lean against the wall, as he place the saxophone close to his lips, while he smile, "Let's find out.", then without letting the foxgirl said a word, he begin to play a jazz version of 'Jingle Bells'. People begin to circle around them as the musician, as they listen to the sound of the saxophone and begin to clap.
"Guess he show me.", Ayame thought out loud as she smile and turn around, finding more guys dress in Santa suits, moving to the ones with the bell and stare at them, then they all nod in a heavy daze and them the bells, leaving their post, while the new Santa took over.
That's a bit weird....
-inside the baker-
"..Is that solid gold?", Jessie said as she lean against the glass case, looking at a golden gingerbread man, setting on top of a trophy.
"It is.", said a brown hair woman, who pulled her away from the glass and begin to wiped the oil off, "It's all solid gold."
"What is it for?", the cook ask as her eyes change to belli sign.
"It's for the gingerbread house contest.", the woman said as she spray glass cleaner and wiping it again, trying to get the oil off the case.
Jessie blink as she look at the woman, then a mixed of joy and greed appear on her face, "Tell me more about this contest."
"Yes, do tell.", said a bearded man dress in red, making the brown hair woman look at him in his eyes making woman drop the cloth and spray bottle.
"Yes....sir...", she said as she had a zombie-look on her face, making Jessie blink and wonder what's going on but stop as she listen to the woman explain about the contest.
-at the western side town-
"This sort remind me about mom's ornaments." Gwen said as she look at a glass figure of two turtle doves that was in her hand.
"Is that the only reason why you went into that store?", Roy ask as he carried his sister's bags, which covering his vision, wishing the sniper was there to help him.
"Yup."
"The explain why you both other things?"
"Cause...", she blink as she tried to think of something smart, ".....I can!" she stop and turn around, looking at her brother, "Got a problem with that?"
"N-no...", Roy said as he sweat dropped and sigh as he push one of the bag up with his knee, before it drop to the ground, but then he begin to lean back, loosing his balance, then fall to the ground, making all the things fall over him.
"Oh...What's that?", Gwen shouted as she run off, leaving her brother to get and pick her bags up, muttering to himself. When he finally caught up to his sister, he just blink as he found an angel with a perfect smile, but then he got a clear look of said angel, finding it was made out of ice.
"Where did she go now?", Roy mutter as he glance too the side noticing Gwen, holding a small wooden hammer and a chisel, but what really made him angry was an overweight man, wearing thick green coat, was holding her arms, showing her how to hit the tool just right on the block of ice. The sight of this made Roy sick, and wanted to grab the guy by the hair and used his head on the ice block, but instead he roared out loud, "GWEN!!!!!"
"Oh, hi bro.", Gwen said as she drop the tools and look at her brother, as his face begin to turn red, while stream seem to come out of his ears, "Look what I'm help making.", she then move away from the ice block, showing a beautiful ice sculpture of a dove, setting on a tree.
"Whoa....beautiful...", Roy said looking at the sculpture, but not the man who move toward him, with a sweet smile.
"That's not the only thing that's beautiful.", the man said as he look into Roy's eyes, "Say you won't like to go to a dance."
Roy sweat dropped as he grin weakly, "Sorry, but I play for the other team.", then he glance at his sister, who was giggling to herself.
"Figures.", the man mutter as he walk back to Gwen, with a disappointed look on his face and sigh, "Anyhoo, your sister have some skills with ice."
"Thanks.", Gwen said with a smile as she pick up the tools, "I did have some reading on ice sculptures."
"Really?", the man said as he rubbed his chin, "Maybe you should enter the Ice Art Championships?"
"Hmm...why should I?"
"Well, it for fun.", the man said as he shut his eyes as think, Plus, it give me a chance to get your brother drunk and see what happen from there.
"Is there a prize?", Gwen ask as she smile sweetly, glancing at her brother, who was wave his arms, telling her not a good idea.
"Yes.", the man said as he glance at Roy who quickly folded his arms behind him, before the other man can see, and return to look at Gwen, "It's called the snowflake reward, which is basically a snowflake made out of small diamonds."
"Oh no...", Roy mutter as he smack his head, while watching his sister's eyes start to sparkle and smile widely, then he turn around and quickly move away from the two, carried the things, thinking, Where's that damn sniper when you need him! just then, 'The Blaze' crush into someone, making both of them fall to the ground. Roy shouted as he rubbed his forehead and growl, "Watch where you going, dumbass!"
"You watch it, burro!", Ken growl as he stand up, glaring at Roy, who glare back at the sniper. They both glare at each other, but stop as both were hit against the heads.
"Will you two stop it!", Gwen shouted as she stand over the two men, with both of her fists rising above the two.
"Ken.", Roy mutter as he look at the sniper while he rubbed the new forming lump on her head.
"Si?"
"Remind me to push Jessie overboard.", Roy said as the sniper stare at him. Normally Ken would just stare at him and try to shoot him, but this one time, he nod in agreement, as he want revenge for what the cook taught the scout how to hit like that.
Gwen sigh as she rolled her eyes and pick up some of the bags up, while the two males stand, then hand them to Ken, "You may carried these for me."
"Si, Angel!", the sniper said as eyes form into hearts, holding the bags close to him, while he look at her eyes, "My bonito Angel."
Roy shake his head and sigh for the sniper to fall for a simple trick, but he happy that his load was lighter, then he look at his sister, "So, what happen with your new friend?"
"Oh....some rude guy dress in a Santa suit walk into on us and begin to ask weird question.", she said as she shut her eyes and yawn, "It's was a really weird with those talking like that. So, I decide to get out of there, before the fat man start asking me things, like how much money I have on me."
"Sound like the same senor I run into.", Ken said and glance around the area, while carried his load, "The red man keep asking question about how much gunpowder and chargers, then ask about things that I don't understand."
"That's a bit weird.", Roy said as they begin to walk back to the ship and look at the sniper, "Where were you?"
"Let's just say I found people were like me, in some way."
-a two hour later at the Azarath-
Malchior yawn as he set up and got out of bed, rubbing his eyes with a sigh as he couldn't fall to sleep, thanks to horoscope goes in his head, over and over. He then hear his crew moving around on the ship, so he decide to see what their doing. He move toward and open the door, then blink at what he find, "What the hell!!!"
Malchior : And we're going to end it right there. Why?
Jack: Cause he like to torture you all. -the bird said as he set on the author's shoulder-
Malchior : True.-grin as he did a V sign, while the parrot rolled his eyes- Anyhoo, that's another chapter done, and hopeful I'll be finish with the next two to three, for those are the ones that will end this holiday fic.
Jack: Though it depends if he stop playing MK vs DC and get to work, as well as he finish the other fic. -glare at the author as he laugh weakly-
Malchior : That may never happen.-he said as he chuckle- Anyhoo, what with all those Santa want-to-bes? That's a secret only me and one Mr. Neville Nedd known of.
Jack: -the bird shake his head and yelled out- Look for the guy who yelled "Spoon!" before a fight.
Malchior : Baka. -rolled his eyes and sigh- Anyways, that's the end of the chapter, which mean it that time, where I ask you to review this chapter.
