One Piece: Next Chapter
Author's note:
I didn't do this last chpt because I forgot, but I don't own the One Piece franchise. If I did do you think I would have the free time to even bother writing this sort of thing? While I'm here, I will take the time to say that I don't own any of the franchises of which I write these fics for.
And now on with the story
Destined Birth
Just a few short weeks after the events of the first chapter, the country of Alabasta is in suspense of the birth of the new prince. That's right, the current queen of Alabasta, Queen Nefertari Vivi, was bearing a child though she mysteriously was never wed to any man on record. The former king, Nefertari Cobra, was by her side in her chambers with the royal physician looking her over to make sure of a safe birth for both sides. Along with Chaka, Pell, Igaram and his wife who were in the same room while she was in labor.
The doctor guiding Vivi though it knew it would come soon and said "Keep up your breathing, you're doing fine. So far there are no abnormal signs, soon enough your baby boy or girl will be born into the world."
Cobra watched on while he held his daughter's hand, "Has 'you-know-who' been informed yet?" the retired king asked. "The father could not be contacted so he would the next best person to tell about this."
"We sent the call and he should arrive in about four hours," Pell answered. "But due to his position and possible wire typing he doesn't know the real circumstances and thinks he is being called here for bodyguard purposes."
"That would be for the best, we shouldn't tell anyone who the real father is," Chaka replied, thinking of the outcome, "Who knows what might happen during his/her childhood should anybody find out."
"We will say that the father is a soldier who fell in battle, if anybody questions we will bring up a fake file," Igaram suggested.
"Or we could just say the father is Michael Jackson, I doubt he would mind right now," Pell explained.
Igaram turned to him with a stern face and said "Ok, first of all not cool, and I mean that. Second, we shouldn't be making a joke like that as MJ doesn't exist in this reality and to make a joke like that just makes this fan fic just like all the other crappy, random ones."
"Well then maybe you shouldn't be breaking the fourth wall like that then."
"Yeah, well maybe you should stop while you're ahead before I shove my foot right up your ass."
"Oh that's just making this story better, making a That 70's Show reference."
"You know what will make this entire story better? You explaining how you didn't die in that explosion," Igaram queried. "I mean, you made this huge decision to willingly sacrifice yourself and there should be no humanly possible way that you could have escaped that and then afterwards-- *poof*--you just appeared out of nowhere with just injuries that didn't even deform you—NOT EVEN LEAVE A FREAKIN' SCAR. You should explain that one to me."
Pell just looked at him and said "Ok here's how it happened: I—"
"AAAHHHHH…*huff* *huff*…AHHH-AAAHH"
Just as he was explaining how he survived, Vivi screams drowned him out as her contractions were happening in closer intervals.
Igaram and Pell were still carrying on the conversation, "Wow, I didn't know you were double jointed and you could use it that way," Igaram said in a fascinated tone.
"CAN YOU TWO DISCUSS THIS SOME OTHER TIME?! MY DAUGHTER IS GIVING BIRTH RIGHT NOW!!!!" Cobra commanded, annoyed by their arguing.
The breathing of the queen was holding up and the doctor kept encouraging her and saying that she's doing fine until a baby's cry could be heard.
Meanwhile…
Marine ships were heading towards Alabasta at the request of the Alabastan royal court. The Vice Admiral on the head ship was perplexed as to the nature of the call. Sure the birth of a prince is great news, but why would they call for him specifically.
"Vice Admiral Garp, we're nearing the shore of Alabasta, estimated time of arrival is half an hour," a soldier reported.
Vice Admiral Garp, who was still strong enough to stay on duty for a good five or more years, responded with acknowledgement and dismissed him. Garp knew something was amiss as they were really desperate to call him over.
As the ship settled at shore, Garp headed for Queen Vivi herself to show that he has arrived. By the time he reached the royal bed chamber of her majesty, she was in her bed holding her newborn son.
"I take it the birth went well," Garp said as he entered. "Now that I'm here and without my men, I wish to know the real reason I was called here. Though I could probably make a good guess right now."
Vivi just looked at her baby, smiled, and said "You're the only relative of this child from the father's side who we can contact with as little suspicion."
"I knew it," Garp said upon realizing who the father was. "To think I would be able to see my great-grandchild, I didn't even think Luffy had it in him."
"Vivi knew of the consequences that would follow should this get out," Cobra stated.
"And you yourself are ok with this knowing Luffy is the father?" Garp asked Cobra.
"Vivi is a full grown woman and the queen, she can make her own decisions. Besides, he is an admirable man who saved our country from falling," Cobra responded. "I will be satisfied with this turn of events no matter what."
"So what is the name of my new great-grandchild?"
Vivi simply responded "Damian, Nefertari D. Damian"
