"HOLD STILL!!!"
Frank heard it all the way in the street as he headed back to the hospital Zeke was suppose to be resting in. His injuries were very severe from fighting the assassins and it was only 3 days ago. He made his way to the top of the building where Zeke's room was located. As he opened the door-
"I SAID NO!"
*BAM!* *SMACK!* *CRASH!*
"SIR PLEASE!! WE HAVE TO GIVE YOU A SEDITIVE!!"
"DAMN IT BOY! I SAID HOLD STILL!!"
"ZEKE! DO WHAT THE NURSES SAY!!"
Zeke was fighting and doing his best to resist the attempts of the hospital nurses in changing his bandages and treating his wounds with drugs, needles, tubes, alcohol, and other 'scary' medical things and methods. Rika stood beside the nurses and yelled at Zeke to quit resisting them and take the treatments.
Frank could only sweat drop at the display.
"FRANK!" Rika turned to him. His heart stopped in fear and terror, ("But.... what did I do???")
"COME TALK SOME SENSE IN THIS MORON!!! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN!!!"
"NOOOO!!!!" Zeke continued to toss and turn.
Frank sighed with relief. "FRANK! SAVE ME!"
"I SAID STAY STILL!!!!" Rika had enough and kicked him in the place no man should EVER be kicked, as well as a nurse taking the opportunity to inject a sedative into him.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!EEEEEUUUUUUHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!..........................."
"I-is he ok?" Frank was scared and worried again.
Rika waved it off as the nurses finished their work and left. "Oh he'll be fine! You men are such babies." She then turned to Frank with a new look and wicked smile, "So, Frank.... Did you get everything I asked for!?"
Frank smiled fearfully, "Um.... Yes, of course...." (".... I know I'm 4 times her size... But Rika is scary...... She just took down Zeke after all.")
(HA! That was a stupid joke)
~Z~X~Z~X~
*TAP* *TAP*
That noise could be heard as it made its way up the stairs of the hospital.
"Come onnnnn Rikaaaa! I just woke up!"
"You heard the nurse! You have to take these 8 different pills and these 3 different fluids every 2 hours or you'll never heal right!"
*TAP* *TAP*
"I don't want to! I'll heal fine on my own!"
"You don't know that! Now do it!"
*TAP* *TAP*
"NO!"
"YOU TAKE THIS DAMN MEDICINE OR I'LL-!!!"
*Door opens*
"TAKE THE DAMN MEDICINE BOY!"
*WHAM!!!*
Rika and Frank looked at her in shock. "P-.....P-......"
Zeke recovered and looked up to see what- or WHO had just hit him.
Perona Roronoa in all her glory.
"MOM!?!??!?!?!?!"
~Z~X~Z~X~Z~X~Z~X~Z~X~
Episode 15: "A Day with Mom"
~Z~X~Z~X~Z~X~Z~X~Z~X~
Her hair in her signature pig tails, black shirt with a cheery chibi girl on it, tight blue jean, dark black boots, and a SWORD by her waist, Roronoa Perona stood in front of an awe struck group of Zeke, Rika and Frank.
"M-m-m-MOM!?!! What are you doing here!???"
She simply smiled, in a carefree and wicked-like manner, "What? A mom can't see how her baby boy is doing when she hasn't seen him in so long and is moving close to where he's at?"
Zeke felt a little embarrassed at the child name and began rambling, "MOM! Don't call me baby boy! And how long have you been looking for us!? You could have contacted me! That way we could have met up and!- wait, did you say you re moving near here?"
Perona's heart jumped for joy and her face showed it, "You bet!" She winked and had a girly glow about her. "I am moving in with a SPECIAL SOMEONE that I have been waiting to hear from for years! And he finally found me! Oh God I'm so happy!!"
"Wait a minute...." Zeke thought for a moment, "Hey! You're going to live with dad!!??!!"
She shook her head as her whole body went red. "Oh it's been ages! A few months ago he sent someone to come get me, out of now where! And I arrived to his place about 2 weeks ago." She started to radiate off 'heat', "And boy, did we ever..... REMINICE about the good old days! The BEST "MEMORIES" remembered... over... and over... and OVER again..."
Zeke couldn't help but twitch, "Why... why make me think of such a thing???"
*SMACK!*
"IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY TO YOUR MOTHER AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS OF NOT SEEING HER!??! YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!"
She began to oddly beat him and hug him at the same time with a smile that was also scary.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! FRANK, RIKA!!! HELP!!!!" ("HOW IS SHE HUGGING ME AND PUNCHING ME AT THE SAME TIME!?!?!!?!?!?!")
Hearing their names, Perona stopped loving/hurting on Zeke, and looked at her other 'children' with a blank face as if she didn't even realize they were there until now.
Rika just smiled cheaply and held up a new skirt she made Frank buy for her. "..... Do you like it???....."
"RIKA!!! FRANK!!!! AWW!! IT'S BEEN FOR EVER SINCE I'VE SEEN ALL MY BABIES!!!" (She is soooo motherly)
She gave them both a simultaneous hug, even hurting FRANK! in her vice-like love grip. "OOOOOOOO!!! I missed you all SOOOO MUCH!"
She finally let go and they all just suddenly became happy and just joyful to see one another again.
Zeke sighed, feeling his tension and heart beat return to normal, and talked to his beloved mother, "So, how did you know we were here?"
Perona smiled and winked, "Oh, don't worry about that, an old friend of your dad's is still a pretty big pirate in his own right now and he asked around and brought me here. He was also the one who brought me to the Grand Line. His ship is VERY fast, thanks to the engineer who is also another old crew mate."
Frank suddenly spoke up, "Huh! You mean... there are two former Strawhat Pirate crew members on this island!?!?! As we speak!!!"
Perona nodded. "Yup!"
This actually excited Zeke. True, he didn't care to SEEK OUT the former crewmates and forever friends of his father's undyingly infamous crew, but who in their right mind would pass up such an opportunities to meet them if they were so close!??
....Plus it beat staying in a dumb hospital.
"WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!?!?! LET'S GO MEET THESE GUYS!!!"
He began to jump out of his hospital bed and put on his normal close and not the hospital gown.
"NO!!!"
*WHAM!*
"G-..g-g-g-..g-g-g........."
Zeke was laid flat out back on the bed, a very annoyed Perona smoldering from the top of her head and a vein on her fist. "I read your medical report! You're not going ANYWHERE! There is no way in hell your wounds are even HALF healed! And I know a thing or two about healing devastating wounds. And MY son is NOT going to go around like his father did, half dead thinking he's ok. I will NOT risk it. You are going to sit RIGHT HERE, while Frank and I go shopping!"
Frank blinked confusingly and pointed at himself, "....Me????"
"HIM!?!?" Rika screamed, she actually really like Perona and they were practically best friends. She didn't understand why she wanted to go with FRANK and not her and it hurt a little inside.
Perona only smiled at this, "I can't take you. Zeke will try to escape and you know Frank wouldn't try to stop him. So us girls will have to separate them for a while."
Rika now realized her plans and smiled, "You got it!" And gave her a thumbs up.
Perona dragged Frank out of the room, "Besides, there are some things I want to talk to you about Frankshirokishi. See you later Zeke, sweetie! Take good care of him Rika-chan!"
"YES MAAM!" Rika practically saluted. "No Zeke! Stay where you are!"
"UGH! I don't wanna!"
"YOU DO AS I SAY!!!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!!!!! DON'T ACT LIKE MY MOTHER! ACT LIKE MY GIRLFRIEND!!!"
~Z~X~Z~X~
Frank and Perona were walking for a while down the streets of the city in silence for a good while, until Perona finally spoke. "How are you Frank?"
It was so sudden that Frank was caught of guard for a moment. "Uh.... I'm fine, Miss Roronoa."
".... Rika too I suppose?"
"Um... Yes ma'am."
".........Zeke as well?"
Frank knew what she was really asking, he could since it. "...... He is becoming very strong. Maybe as strong as his father at this age. He is receiving a lot of attention from the Yonkou."
"......................I see."
She once again said nothing for the longest time. ".... But he'll be fine... right???"
"..... Yes, Miss Roronoa, he will. He is a good fighter and I will stay at his side."
Perona looked up at him with a small sad face, "Frank, I see you as my son, please, at least all me Perona. Miss Roronoa is too much for you. You're family." She smiled the same smile Frank always saw Zeke smile, it made him feel warmer. "Of course.... Miss Perona." She couldn't help but giggle.
"HEY! GIANT! WE KNOW YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HANGS AROUND RORONOA!! WHERE IS HE!!??! WE ALL WANT TO GIVE HIM A PEACE OF OUR MINDS!!! AND REVENGE!!!!"
Frank and Perona turned around to see 7 men standing behind them.
~Z~X~
Zeke quickly sat up from his bed. "What is it?" Rika looked up and saw him as he jumped out of his bed.
"Something's wrong!" Zeke began to dress quickly in his black pants and gray and maroon shirt. He grabbed his 4 swords and started to head out the door but was caught off by Rika.
"Oh-ho no you don't! I'm here to keep you from going ANYWHERE."
"RIKA MOVE! I THINK MOM'S IN TROUBLE!!"
Rika looked confused at him, "A-are you serious???"
"I swear..... I would NEVER joke about THIS."
~Z~X~
"Hmph.... and WHO wants to know where Zeke is???" Perona looked un-impressed and not at all scared at the men in front of her. Frank, however, already had his sword drawn out.
"Look lady, I don't know who you are, but I don't care. Just tell us where Zeke is and we won't kill you." A tall man with short blond hair told her.
"NOT KILL HER!?! Oh no! I'm going to kill EVERYBODY who has ever come in contact with that little bastard!" The large bald man said.
"I agree.... Roronoa and all he knows will DIE this day! EEHEEHEEHAHA!!" A small skinny bald man with pointy ears, gray toned skin and blue marking on his body told them.
"Miss Perona, please." Frank pleaded, "These are men we have faced in the past. Taeko and some of his men, Duke Qluita, his men Juntai and Yajurobi,"
Juntai: "Yeah! Told you we'd get back on this show!!"
Yajuobi: "Shut up moron!!"
"and then there's....... I'm sorry, who are you?" He looked at the gray man, who was only warring a loincloth and shoes with a sword in each hand.
"WHAT!?!? I am Okei! We fought on the Winter Island of LogoTai! How can you not remember me!!??!?!"
Frank now felt a little embarrassed. "Uh.... I'm sorry... I still don't remember you."
"DAMN YOU YOU BASTARD! YOU SHALL PAY!!"
"Now now Okei, we'll ALL get our revenge." Taeko assured him. "Now, if you would be a good boy Dekata.... Tell us where Roronoa is and or we kill EVERYONE IN THE DISTANCE OF MY VOICE!!!"
People heard this, and started to panic.
"Heh.... You're looking at HER."
Taeko blinked, all the enemies of Zeke looked at the woman challenging them. "Excuse me???"
Perona smiled, "You said you're looking for Roronoa right? That's me... Perona Roronoa.... I'm his mother. Why don't you fight me?"
Frank was now really worried, "Miss Perona!"
Taeko smirked wickedly, "You don't say... Look at that boys. We get the chance to finally kill Zeke.... and his mother."
Perona only grinned back, "Bring it on.... big boy."
"NO! I WILL KILL THIS BITCH!" Okei stepped to the front lines.
A vein appeared on Perona's forehead. "WHAT did you call me."
Okei grinned confidently, "Hehehehe, you heard me, you-" he began to charge at her with his now unsheathed swords, "BIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTCH!!!!!"
*SWIPE!*
"HUH!?" Okei now had a 'crapped my pants' look on his face and Perona side stepped him without one glance at him or even a try.
"What just happened!!???" He turned around angrily at her... and was met with a back hand.
*SMACK!!!*
Okei went flying and landed unconsciously on the ground.
Juntai: "HOLY CRAP! SHE JUST PIMP SMACKED THAT GRAY DUDE!!!"
Yajurobi: "Shut up you dumbass! Don't compliment the enemy!"
Duke: "Technically, that wasn't a compliment."
They were all shocked.
Duke snapped out of the shock first, "QUICK! Juntai! Yajurobi! Attack her!!"
Suddenly Juntai and Yajurobi got a boost of confidence, "He's right! Let's get her!"
"Yeah! We can take her! She's just an old lady!!"
"WHAT...." (Shit, Perona just got another vein on her head!)
"DDDIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"
The bald brothers jumped at her with swords... then-
*SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE*
The brother fell to the ground, also unconscious.
"MOM! Are you ok!?!?" Zeke struck them before they could attack his mother and where now out for the count.
Perona only shook her head, "Boy, you should now these morons couldn't hurt me even if they had 100 years of sword practice. I can take care of myself."
"I know but-" the Zeke saw all the men he had once defeated. "TAEKO!?! DUKE!?!?" he then looked at Okei, "......... Who is this guy??"
Frank shrugged his shoulders.
This seemed to bring Okei back, "WHAT!?!? HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER ME!!! WE FOUGHT ON THE WINTER ISLAND OF-"
"Yeah yeah ok, I don't care about your life story."
"IT'S NOT A LIFE'S STORY!!! IT'S THE ORIGIN OF MY HATRED OF YOU!!!!"
"Whatever man." Zeke just rolled his eyes, today was once again, not going to be a relaxing day.
"Hehehehe, you are all moron." Duke said as he looked at Taeko, "Guess we have to do everything ourselves Taeko."
Taeko shook his head and grinned, "I guess so."
Duke looked at them, "Prepare yourselves.... For my BLACK HOLE!!!!"
He put out his hand and it suddenly turned into a black hole in the middle of his hand. Everything started to be sucked in.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! TRY AND DEFEAT ME NOW!!! YOU LOSERS!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA-!!!"
*SHOOT* *DING* *THUD*
Somewhere, Duke was shot in the head and fell to the ground. However it was not a fatal shot, just a quick and small blunt rock nicking him in the skull.
Everyone looked to the direction in which the shot came from.
Up atop a building, stood a man in a RED CAPE and a golden yellow MASK.
Perona smiled, "There he is. I was wondering when he would pop up."
Frank dropped his jaw, "I-i-is that..... SOGEKING!?!?"
"Yup."
"I.... I can't believe this!! The 200,088 bounty and now captain of his own Pirate Crew, Sogeking is here before us!!!!" (That's right, Usopp is badass, and is only took him TWENTY years to do it. Also he is buff and no longer fat. I'm guessing he'll stay fat for a while from his mini arc (SPOILER ALERT! hahaha))
"Perona!" He yelled from the top of the building, "Are you and your son ok? Is this something you can handle?"
Perona shook her head with a smile, "Yes! And you know it is."
Sogeking smiled, "Alright, it seems to be only one left."
They all looked at Taeko. He looked at Zeke, then Frank, then Perona, then Sogeking. Zeke. Frank. Perona. Sogeking. Zeke. Frank. Perona. Sogeking. Zeke. Frank. Perona. Sogeking.
He then took the two lackeys he brought with him and threw them at Zeke and ran off as fast as he could, "Screw this!"
Okei couldn't believe it, he was now left all alone. ("Crap!")
Rika finally made it, Zeke ran so fast a head of her. "There you guys all are... *pant* *pant* *pant*...."
She looked around and noticed everyone... but Okei, "Who are you?"
"grrrrrrrRRRRRRRR AAAHHHH!!!! I AM OKEI! I FOUGHT YOUR LOVER ZEKE RORONOA ON THE WINTER ISLAND OF LOGOTAI!!!!"
Rika looked at him doubtly, ".... Are you sure???"
"YES DAMN IT!!!!!"
"Enough of that Okei...." Duke got up, "Let's finish this, starting with Zeke MOTHER!"
He formed a black hole in his hand and ran at Perona. Okei agreed, "RIGHT!!" He began to attack her as well.
"MOM!!!" Zeke was about to 'save' her, when he felt some one stop him. "Don't worry bout your mom kid. She can DEFFINATELY take care of herself." Sogeking was now next to him and was keeping him back.
As the two men approached her, Perona finally pulled out the sword by her side and- "DRAGON TWISTER!!!!" Tossing Duke and Okei into the air with slashes all over their bodies. They fell to the ground.... and stayed there.
"Wow....." Zeke now remembered how powerful his mom really was. "That... was the same move.... she did before. One time, when I was a child.... She's amazing."
~Z~X~
"Well, I'm going back to the ship. I guess you're going to stay for a few days Perona?" Sogeking asked her as the sun began to set on the day.
Perona nodded, "Yeah, I'll be staying for as long as Zeke does. We'll just catch up."
Zeke smiled back at her, "Yeah."
Sogeking bid them a farewell, "Ok, I'll tell Franky we'll be docked here for a while then."
"Ok." Perona waved him off.
Frank became shocked again (What is he? A fan boy??) "THE Franky!?!"
Perona nodded, "Uh-huh, we can go see him and Soge tomorrow."
Frank was very ecstatic. Zeke was just happy to see his mother again.
"AND YOU YOUNG MAN!! I BELIEVE I TOLD YOU TO STAY IN THE HOSPITAL!!!"
*WHAM!*
"MOM!!!! STOP!!!!!!"
To Be Continued......
