Chapter 6: Straw Hat Girls Part 1

Laugh Tale Training

2nd Day

As the men and Eugene were out training, the girls and Yamato were bathing in a hot spring further down the path. They had also been training but managed to finish up quicker than the boys- the Haki training seemed to come more naturally to them for some reason.

"This is so nice. Chopper and Luffy helped out when we're in heat.," said Carrot which made most of the girls aside from Olympia, Minerva, and Muffy blush.

"Thank god, they weren't fertilized—those eggs, I mean.," said Nami as she looked to the side.

"It's not a sign of that kind of romance. We're just friends with needs. And they fulfill those needs. I don't think Luffy has those desires yet.," said Nami.

"Am I getting a little more toned?" asked Vivi as Anne massaged her arms.

"What're ya talking about, yer pretty to me.," said the girl as she stared into Vivi's eyes with intimacy.

Nami grabbed Vivi away from Anne out of some childish envy.

Vivi looked to the side embarrassed.

"Sorry, I slip back into it.," said the girl.

"It's ok..," she said as she looked at Muffy.

"Hey what do you know about yourself?" asked Robin.

"Just that I'm his mom and my last name was Rocks, my initial is D, you have knowledge of piracy, and I was away for 16 years in a nameless void...everything else is a blur.," Muffy said.

Robin raised an eyebrow at this statement.

"So you're an amnesiac? And finding your memories is also one of your goals?" asked the archaeologist.

Muffy nodded.

"Finding your memories is important but you're still a valuable comrade.," said Robin as she gave a thumbs up as Muffy blushed.

Vega 40 sunk her head in the water and blew bubbles as she observed the impressive busts.

Suddenly, Eugene flew into the baths much to the confusion of the others as they covered themselves up except for Olympia, Minerva, and Muffy.

Nami looked angrily at the Pixie and was about to clobber them when they said-

"It's too intense. Mygoshmygoshmygosh! Ithoughtitwasjustaonetimethingbutthey'reveryaggressiveandscaryandtheyaskedmeto

"What do you expect, you're a boy after all. You need to toughen up.," said Nami in annoyance, which made Eugene cry for some reason as Nami looked confused.

"Guess I'm being too rough on the guy.," she said quietly.

Yamato sighed as he asked-

"Do the people around you assume what you are?"

Eugene nodded as they looked up.

Yamato then whispered-

"I think Eugene knows she's a girl."

"A girl? You mean like an Okama?" asked Vivi- overhearing this conversation.

"Nonononononononononono. Imagirlbutnotinthatway-," said Eugene before Robin interjected by covering her mouth.

"Slow down. We can take the time to understand this.," said the archaeologist.

A Short Explanation Later...

"Sorry for putting you through that. We didn't know.," said Carrot.

Eugene felt relief as she bathed with the others.

"I'msogoshdarngladaboutthis. Gladyoucouldhelpmeoutwiththis.," said the Pixie at a fast-pitched pace.

"Don't worry about it. We have a lot of oddballs in this crew. A lot more than we initially intended. It's gonna be a hassle to find a port to handle a ship that's big enough.," Nami noted.

Nami then sniffed at Minerva, Olympia, and Muffy and looked annoyed.

"How much do you wash?" asked the orangette.

"Well...," Minerva responded as she looked to the side like Olympia would do though more innocently.

"Once...," Muffy replied as Nami gritted her teeth.

"It's one thing if you're guys but...," said Nami as she looked at Robin and the raven-haired woman smiled back.

Minerva and Olympia started to back away.

"What's the big deal? It's a waste of time...," Minerva said before she grabbed and was scrubbed with soap and Olympia whined as she also was scrubbed. Muffy didn't off as much resistance as she took it comfortably.

All by Robins' other hands.

"This is harassment!," Minerva complained.

"No, it's a ladies' obligation to bathe. The guys can stink as much as they want but hell if there's gonna be stink on the girls side!," Nami yelled.

"You heard her.," Robin said.

After that, Minerva and Olympia grumbled as Muffy cooed.

"I didn't want to say anything but if you're staying with us. Expect to bathe a lot. It's a girl's obligation to keep clean.," said Nami.

"That was nice. Didn't expect it to be so relaxing.," Muffy replied.

Carrot then noticed something on the backs of the girls.

"What's that?," asked the Mink.

"What're you...," said Nami before noticing what it entailed.

She covered her mouth and was unnerved by the sight.

Minerva immediately recognized what it meant and withdrew from the group- hiding her emotions. Olympia was paralyzed with uncertain emotions while Muffy felt unease.

"Don't make a big deal out of it.," said Minerva as her glasses obscured her eyes.

Robin narrowed her eyes.

Vivi was brought to tears.

"You poor things...," she cried.

"What's going on?," asked Carrot.

"C'mon. A crew is supposed to have a common goal to pursue our own objectives. You don't need to be concerned if it doesn't jeopardize anything. It's not a big deal.," said the witch before Nami grabbed her arm.

"Why are you crying then?," asked Nami.

Minerva seemed unsure as she teleported away.

"What's with the-," Carrot asked Olympia as she flew away.

"I'm not sure why it is...but maybe give a little bit of time to think it over.," said Muffy.

After that, it led to Luffy and Chopper seeing the girls after they felt the need to relieve their "heat"...

4 Days Later...

Vivi sat down next to Minerva as the others relaxed in a hot spring- Eugene's situation was explained away- leading to her no longer needing to train in the same way as the boys. Still, the atmosphere was tense from the last time they had free time.

Muffy and Olympia had isolated themselves in corners away from the groups.

It was very awkward to say anything pleasant that would be skewed into something negative so she was direct.

"I saw them on other slaves.," said the princess, making the witch look to the side.

"You know about Fullalead Island?" asked Minerva.

"It's the base of the Blackbeard Pirates. Why?" Vivi replied- learning that from Morgans.

Minerva grabbed and clenched the back of her right palm intensely before relaxing the grip.

She stared at Vivi for what seemed to be a very, very long time before taking a deep breath.

"You're not going to use it against me right?" asked the purple-haired woman.

"Why would you-," Vivi asked before Minerva glared at her.

Vivi nodded.

"Fullalead Island...was not originally the designated island for pirates by the W.G. before 400 years ago. It was called Avalon. My race lived there.," she said.

"Your race? You're not a human being?" asked the princess.

Carrot attempted to peak in but Nami stopped her.

"She's better at talking without pissing her off.," the navigator said.

"I'm a Mage.," said Minerva.

"A what?," asked Vivi.

"We look like you lot. But we're more in tune in what's in fairy tales and fantasy- Magic I mean...you know why Poneglyphs are really banned?," asked the witch.

Vivi shook her head.

"The public says it's for relearning about the past but that's not the full story...there's more to Haki than just exerting your will. The entire world is filled with everything having its own wills and desires but the people forget that and assume that only they have Haki.," explained Minerva.

"You were talking about magic just now. Does that mean?" asked Vivi.

Minerva raised out her palm as odd symbols appeared on her skin.

Robin's eyes widened with astonishment- being the most surprised at the familiarity of the symbols.

From the witch's palm, it sparked flickers bit by bit until it generated a brilliant fire that turned blue, purple, gold, pink, white, etc. before she closed it.

"That was the Fire Spell. Normally, you need to chant but I'm special.," said Minerva before Robin rushed towards her.

"Hey Robin!," Nami yelled as she looked confused.

"What was that?" asked the archaeologist.

"The reason why I got the mark on my back. Being what I am is why I got it.," Minerva replied.

"No, I mean...t-that was Poneglyph writing.," she said.

"So, you're more adept than many of the Ohara researchers HE got acquainted with. You do take after Olvia than HIM.," said the witch to herself in a quieter tone.

"You know my dad?" asked Robin.

"I know he's not dead. In fact, you'll probably meet him one day.," she said.

"But what does that have to do with anything?" asked Robin.

"Robin...," said Vivi.

"It means you have a natural affinity to Sorcery Haki.," said the witch.

"Sorcery Haki?" asked Robin.

"You wouldn't know. What the World Government doesn't want others to know while keeping the information to itself to have the upper hand. And when they do know- they purge it.," she explained.

Robin thought back to Ohara.

"So you're like me?" asked Robin.

"Except...," Minerva said as she felt her back and tensed up.

"After a long time, I was rescued by a Giant named Bor and he took me to Elbaf. I met Odin. And after Bor died in battle, I took his place in raising him in spite of all of the negative backlash into a wise king even if no one respected knowledge over raw power.," she explained after taking a deep breath.

"And?" asked Vivi.

"A lot of things happened and I'm now I'm with you guys.," replied Minerva.

"So Odin...was he like Saul?," asked Robin.

Minerva shrugged as she answered-

"I guess..."

After a brief pause, she stood up and looked at Robin and said-

"Then I'll teach what Poneglyphs really means."

Robin looked in amazement.

Minerva then realized her erection and immediately blushed.

Nami then generated cat whiskers.

During the training, she picked up a weird cat-like vegetable that sparked her curiosity as she then ate it. It was rather bland and since then her feline mannerisms had become more prominent.

Vivi, Muffy, Anne, Olympia, Vega 40, Robin, and Yamato all randomly generated parts of their Zoan/Theo forms.

Nami generated two cat tails as she blushed.

She then sighed as she replied-

"Damn it. Not me too..."

"Why don't you go off for a little bit? There's some..umm...mushrooms for a meal tonight.," said Nami to Eugene.

The Pixie looked confused and flew away after getting dressed again.

She then looked at the girls in heat and said-

"Go right ahead..."

Robin generated manhoods for each of them as the girls and Yamato thrust into each other until dawn.

The Next Day...

Nami felt tired as she purred before realizing it.

"I really am a cat girl."

Muffy and Olympia still kept their distance.

Author Notes: This was more of a lemon x low-key conversation to get the girls to understand each other as well as flesh out Eugene as her own character- yes she is a transgirl and I'm all on board for more representation.
