Draco's Crew: Holiday Surprise

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.

Things get Harder Before the Holidays

Malchior blink as he find the whole ship cover in ivy, holly, red and green ribbon over the railing and a pine wreath on every door on the ship, "What's going on?"

"It's called Christmas, dude.", Gar said as he move pass him as he move pass him, wearing a Santa hat, carry a bag, full with bells and garlands hanging out of it.

Draco blink as he blink and took a deep calming breath, then move toward his sakura tree, but stop with his jaw drop, finding not only his tree been cover in strains of popcorn, but also find silver and gold paper cranes(origami) on the branches of said tree, then took a deep clearing breath as he shut his eyes while he think, Karai and Harry did this...but just calm down.

"Heads up!"

"Huh?", he thought as glance up and his eyes widen, as he find a paint can fall over his head, covering him head and toe in red paint, before the can hit his head, making him fall down on the deck with his eyes spinning and mutter, "...oro...."

-Somewhere on the other side of Cuitlaxochitl-

A group of fake Santa run through the forest, after they were doing their jobs in town, making little to now sound at all, till they come to a huge ship. The ship was a galleon with a large reindeer, with fangs and a large red nose, was the figurehead and their was a Jolly Roger, which was a skull, with a narrow eyes and an evil looking grin, wearing a Santa hat and have two candy cane cross behind the skull. The Santa came to a stop and in one move they all jump on top of the deck of the ship.

"It's about time you guys show up.", said a fit man, wearing a Santa suit, but unlike the other Santa, he had no beard and his suit look more gothic then Christmas.

"Sorry, captain.", said one of them as they all bow, "The snow was getting to us again."

The man growl to himself and yelled out loud, "Jerrie! Get your ass out here!"

"Coming.", said a voice from below deck as foot steps was heard, but then the sound of a man tripping over his own feet and fall down the staircase, till hitting the wall.

"I should of killed that man.", the caption of the ship mutter as he shake his head.

"But then you won't have the army you had now, Nickie.", said a voice, making the man turn around, to find a woman with pointing ears, blond hair in a bun, and was wearing a pair of glasses and a tight red dress. She smile at the man and she bite into an apple.

"True, Sasha", he said with a smile and then turn his head to find a man, dress in green, with pointed ears, standing their with a goofy grin.

"What wrong, sir?", he ask as he stand there, watching Nickie's face turn somewhat demonic.

"Didn't I told you to weather proof them!", he ask in a deadly tone.

"Yes sir,", the man said with that stupid grin, painted on his face, "But you didn't give me another time..", he was cough off as a mitten cover fist hit him in the face.

"Don't give me that.", the captain growl as he glare at the small man, still smiling up at him, with a bloody nose, "You had two months! That's more then enough time!", then he punch him again, sending Jerrie down on the deck. The little man just look up at the gothic looking Santa, as he slowly rise, with the same goofy grin, showing a left black eye, "Stop smiling!", Nickie shouted as he kick Jerrie in the stomach and punch him one more time, sending him into the group of Santa want-be.

Sasha sigh as she watch her captain beat up the pointy ear man and shake her head, then look up at the moon, Moron should know that Jerrie can't dead.

-back with the Azarath-

"I think he coming to.", said Kardra as she held up smelling salt to the somewhat knock out Draco.

"What just happen?", Draco said as he slowly set up and rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh...ummm...a can of paint hit you on your head.", Rae said with a sheepish look.

"Why?", the captain ask as he open his eyes and glance at the violet blue hair woman, who was setting in the crews nest, making sure the Zoan user couldn't get a hold of her.

"Well....you see...umm...", Rae was cut off as Malchior eyes widen, then narrow as he found what she did.

"Oh, come on!", Malchior roar out loud, making all his crewmates looking at him, as he glare at the Jolly Roger, then at Rae, "You have to messed with the flag!" The crew look at the flag, not really thinking anything was wrong with it. It was just the same Jolly Roger as before, only the dragon that was holding the skull was wearing a Santa hat.

"What?", Rae glare down at the captain, who just got up and head toward the kitchen "You don't like my artwork?"

"Everyone! Meeting!", Draco shouted as he move toward his room as he growl to himself.

-back with the holiday rejects-

"Ok...I think that's enough, Nickie.", said Sasha as she was her captain beaten up the grinning man, who was cover in cuts and blouses.

"Find with me.", the gothic looking Santa said with a sigh and look at Jerrie, "How long will you take to finish weather proofing them?"

"Four more months.", the pointy ear man said as he look at the army of Santa and sigh.

"Damn.", Nickie mutter as he rubbed his chin and shut his eyes with a sigh, turning to the army "then just give me the report."

"What do you wish to know?", ask one of them, well all of them were still bowing.

"You know what I want!", he roar our loud as he growl, "Now tell me how much will this town going to cost us!"

"....about three hundred million belli....", said another Santa as it look up at him.

"Hmmm....so it was worth coming here", Sasha said as he said as she finish the apple and throw the core into the water.

"Look like it.", Nickie said as he rubbed his chin and sigh, "Let's just hope we don't messed up like we did in that shipwright yard."

"Yes...that was pretty bad.", Sasha mutter as they watch the pointy ear man, who was busy checking the clock and move back to his room, "We lost most of the crew thank to one man."

-back with the Azarath-

After putting on a new pair of clothes, Draco walk into the kitchen, looking very angry, carry a black duffle bag, over his shoulder. Everyone look at their captain and run the question throw their head, What's going on?

Malchior put down his bag and set down, looking at his crewmates, then he glance at a large pine, that haven't been touch, after they put it up.

"Alright, what this about?", Roy said as he glare at Melchior, who slowly turn his head, looking at him.

"It's not like you haven't been hit on the head before.", Kardra said as she watch the captain look at the group, "So, what's the problem?"

Draco shut his eyes as he pick up his bag while he begin to get up, "I'm leaving for a few days."

"What?", everyone said in shock as he slide the bag on his shoulder.

"You heard me.", Draco said as he head toward the door, "I'm taking sometimes off.", then he stop and put on a fake smile while he turn around, "Have a Merry Christmas."

He then took hold of the doorhandle and was about to turn it, "What the hell are you running from, Draco!?" Malchior blink as he heard Jessie voice roar and remove his hand from say door, squeezing it and turn around.

"What are you talking about?", he said with a calm look on his face as he tried to calm down himself, watch the cook as she move toward him.

"You heard me.", Jessie said as she narrow her eyes, glaring at him, "What are you running away from? For that matter, what the hell is your problem?"

"Nothing!", he growl as he glare at the cook, who glare back, which seem to last over an hour but it more like a minute.

"Draco, we know.", Karai said, making Malchior look at her, blinking, then turn his head, glare at Jack.

"Hehe....", quickly fly behind Gwen, hiding from Draco's glare.

"Don't get mad at Ero-bird.", Harry said as he cross his arms, "We were going to ask this question sooner or later."

"I would of like it, if you ask later, then sooner.", Malchior mutter and look at them, then he drop the bag, "There's no way of getting out of this, is there?"

"Well, you could just leave.", Jessie said as she walk away, checking on a soup pot, that been simmering on the stove for the last two days, "But you could loose a ship and a crew."

Malchior hate the thought I been left on island, alone. True, Cuitlaxochitl have people on the island and it was bigger then the one that he was left on, but he rather being around people trust, then people, who would turn him in for his bounty. "Alright....I'll tell a story, but after telling it, you drop it and let me do what I believe is right. Got it?", Draco said as he watch all his crewmates give a nod, "Good...but before I start, can I get something to eat?"

Everyone blink and sweat dropped at their captain, who begin to smile slightly, as Jessie move behind him, holding a pan and smack him in the head, sending him to the table, "No soup for you!"

Malchior : Hehehe....and I'll stop there. First off, I'm sorry it's taking me forever....-sigh and sweat dropped- I been a bit in a funk. And not the good kind. -yawn and lean back- Hopeful I'll finish this story before Christmas, but I a bad feeling I'll most likely finish it the day after Christmas....Anyhoo, I hope you guys like this chapter and just to let you know, the next chapter will show the reason why Draco dislike the holiday. So, that's it. So please review and give me some feedback, or I will used the holiday's most dangerous weapon! -took a deep breath and loud- FRUITCAKE!!!!!!!!!
