Chapter 17: A new face

The Next day…

Nothing to big was happening. The marks appeared again. But nothing really happened. So everyone was just hanging back and relaxing. Zolo was doing some hard-core training. Sanji was busy making Nami some chocolate chip cookies. So her heart would be filled with joy. While Nami was discussing where to go next to stop at to maybe relax for a bit. Since the holidays were coming up fast and they wanted to relax at some place cozy and cute. For a romantic feel. Yet, Robin just wants to go somewhere to relax and a place that had a great café to read books. Usopp and Chopper were talking to Kina about things to do and what not. While Luffy was daydreaming about how to tell Minnie. While Minnie was practicing for tonight's music night and Robin was in the same room. Yet, she was to busy reading to even listen to Minnie that much.

This seemed fine. Well…that's what it was… "seemed" fine. Yet, no one actually knew what was going to take place at that night. That many things were going to happen.

Minnie strolled out of the kitchen wearing a regular white t-shirt, a pair of denim shorts with flower embroidery, and white sneakers. Minnie didn't think that nothing truly bad was going to happen. So as she casually trotted out without a care in the world. That's when it happened.

Oddly a letter fell from the sky and landed in front of the young girl. She picked up the oddly scented envelope. On the front of the blue colored envelope was something written. To Minnie. Turning it over to open the paper encasement there was a heart. Confused from the decoration of it. She opened it slowly. Intent to find out who wrote the letter. Inside it read something that she knew to well.

Dear my beloved Minnie,

I missed you so. Yet, I have finally found you. You are truly a beauty. The most beautiful girl I have seen to this day. I have searched far for you. So very far. So I could place my lips onto your soft sweet ones. The ones that could comfort the wildest beast. You must know who I am. Since I am of course your lover. The person that would make you mine no matter the cost. I'm finally here. I finally will have you.

Love,

Tadao

P.S. Look up to find me...

"Oh God...not Tadao...not him," Minnie groaned in horror. She felt utterly sick to her stomach. She couldn't believe he found her. She hoped that he would never get to close. But now he was back. Looking around she wondered where the letter came from. That's when she remebered the P.S. Looking up she saw him. Looking down on her. Her face fixed into terror and disgust. He jumped down and went infront of her with a smirk.

"Hello my love..." Tadao said as he took her hand and kissed it.

Tadao had short faded deep maroon red shaggy hair. His bangs were long, they went up to the tip of his nose. Yet they were parted in a way that presented mystery. Since it covered parts of his eluminate evergreen eyes. His skin was pale with a tint of tan. He wore a black vest jacket and a aggy grey t-shirt underneath it. His jeans were ripped up yet, the chains of it shined and glowed. His black boots had silver chains to match as well.

"Oh god...how the hell did you get here?!" Minnie asked Tadao in frustration.

"Well...I ate a cursed devil fruit and now I am able to transform into a bird. It helped me be able to find you must faster my lovely..." Tadao smirked as he moved closer to Minnie. Holding her firmly by her shoulders and embracing her in a hug. Minnie felt like she was going to gag. Even though he was quite handsome and very nice he was kind of...well...

" You know...I missed being able to be near you," Tadao said as his hands began to travel done her back.

"EW! PERVERT!" Minnie pushed away quickly and smack him on his face. The smack was hard enough that he went tumbling backwards. Yet, he quickly composed himself in an instance.

Yeah...he is a pervert. A very persistant pervert to top it off.

"What's going on?" Zolo said as he came rushing towards the two.

"Yeah...we heard a yell," Nami said as she and Sanji ran out.

"Minnie you okay?" Luffy said as he rushed up the stairs from his spot ontop of the Merry Go's mast.

"What in the world is happening...my book was getting rather interesting," Robin said as she came out holding both her glasses and book.

Usopp, Chopper, and Kuna came last. When everyone spotted the new face everyone was curious...except Kuna.

"Oh no...it's Tadao! Don't you dare already put a hand on Minnie! You sick pervert!" Kuna growled at him as she went infront of Minnie as protection.

"I wasn't doing anything..." Tadao said as he looked at the catish fox like creature.

"WASN'T DOING ANYTHING?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! YOU WERE TOUCHING ME!" Minnie yelled.

"What?" Luffy's heart sank. Then his anger rose. He couldn't believe someone was touching his Minnie. The Minnie he loved and wanted as his own.

"Well, we are boyfriend and girlfriend. So it wouldn't matter," Tadao said with a look of satisfaction.

"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled in unison except for Chopper and Usopp of course.

" NO WE ARE NOT!" Minnie shouted with fury.

"We might as well be. You don't have a boyfriend anyway. Isn't that right?" Tadao asked.

"Well..." Minnie couldn't say anything to that.

"So who would mind if I go out with you? It's not like you love anyone on this ship...or if anyone likes you back," Tadao said with a smirk.

"Well...actually...I kind of...like someone Tadao," Minnie said as a blush began to appear.

"Well then who?" Tadao retorted.

"Luffy! Tell Minnie you love her. If not...that Tadao guy is going to take her away...and I think she is to scared to say something. Do it Luffy! Or you will lose her!" Zolo and Sanji whispered together into Luffy's ear.

Luffy didn't know what to do. If he said he loved her and she didn't love him back. His heart would be broken. Yet, if she did love him. Then his heart would fill with joy. What am I going to do?! Luffy thought in his mind.

OH NO! What is going to happen? Will Luffy step up to the plate? Or will Minnie confess her feelings to someone? OR will Tadao take her from Luffy? What's going to happen next? Who is going to win? And why is Usopp's nose so darn long when his father's nose was normal?! Tune in next chapter! Yet, tell em what you think should happen. So I can see what others think about this situation. Tell me please. AND REVEIW!
