I just wanted to say thank you to the people reading. I also recived my first review! Thank you guest I know that Tyler got a raw deal last chapter but he will be getting his own fanfic soon. He will meet a chef who happens to be in some major denial. That is all I am going to say about it as I will finish this story before beginning another. Thank you to those that have followed the story so far. I hope you all enjoy, as always I do not own One Piece. I do own Celina my OC. This is still rated M.

I was afraid of Law. I wanted to admit that to myself. Law had walked out of the room. It was a storage room or sorts it seemed. There was the hatch in the ceiling that led out to the deck that you only had access to when the ship was not submerged. Straight ahead of me I could see stairs that led to an open room where Law and the others had gone. I followed there was 3 stairs and then the room opened up wide there was a common area where there was a ping pong table and an air hockey table. There were two couches placed on the sidelines and a couple of bean bag chairs. There was a magnificent cherry bookshelf that was stuffed with books. I was trying to look at the covers without being too obvious about it. I was caught however when I am arm pulled one off the shelve and handed it to me.

The arm belonged to Penguin. "This is a great book, I recommend it. Captain told me to give you the tour. All of the books here are available to us, if you want to read anything just take it. Make sure to put it back when your done though." He placed the book back on the shelve. I noted the name of the book Midnight Is Calling. He gestured to the room that we were in. "This is the common area, the place where we come to have fun and relax. There are some pretty heated games that go on." I noticed that on the wall behind the air hockey table and ping pong table were two charts. One read CHALLENGES on it in big red letters. The other said PUNISHMENTS in big bold blue letters. They were both dry erase. Penguin saw me looking and chuckled. "We get bored, sometimes we are under for weeks at a time. This helps pass the time." He walked over to the CHALLENGES bored and grabbed a marker. He wrote Penguin VS Shachi A.H. first to 50 loser faces punishment. On the punishment board he wrote dress like a woman and sing for the whole crew.

"I am challenging Shachi to air hockey the first to 50 wins and the loser gets the punishment. We have game night every Friday. The first name on the board gets access to what they want. As the week goes on the boards get full." He placed the marker back where it goes. "You can challenge anyone you want?" I asked, he nodded. "What if they refuse?" He grinned back at me, but someone else answered me. "They are shamed the crew comes up with a punishment for them together it is quite fun." Of course Law would think that was fun. He was just leaning against the wall with that smirk of his. I glowered at him, what a creep.

"The only way to avoid the group punishment and still get out of the challenge is to have a valid excuse. Being too ill to compete, fighting with pirates, and having a different punishment are the three excuses that we allow." Penguin was nodding along with what Law was saying. "Do people challenge you?" Penguin shook his head quickly. Law gave me an evil grin. "They are more than welcome to challenge me. They just don't like to as I use all the abilities I have to offer. I make quick work of them with my impressive skills." I felt my eyebrow raise in response outwardly I nodded. In my head I thought you use your devil fruit powers and cheat. I was smart enough not to say that though, I didn't want to die today.

Penguin cleared his throat and linked his arm with mine. "Let me show you the rest of your soon to be temporary home. He walked me over to the other side of the room where a grand mahogany table stood gleaming. It was large and beautiful. "This is obviously the dining area. We like to sit at one table where there is only 8 of us soon to be 9." He said gesturing to me with his other hand. He led me through a door that was behind the table into a stunning stainless steel kitchen. Everything gleamed back at me. I walked over to the refrigerator and opened it. I saw that they were well stocked. I noticed that there was another door on the side of the kitchen. Penguin opened it for me and I looked inside it was a large pantry filled with dry and canned goods. Next to the door was another dry erase board with NEEDED SUPPLIES written on it.

This was a very nice set up I was grateful that it wasn't the dump that I had been envisioning. I was actually kind of excited to use the high tech equipment I saw. Was that a hand mixer?! I giddily pulled it closer to me to examine it. I could feel the drool pool in my mouth at the thought of making divinity. I could always make it by hand but it would be so much nicer to use a mixer. "Should I leave you and the machine alone?" Penguin was looking at me oddly. "It's a mixer, I am excited to make this delicious treat with it. Does anyone dislike sweets?" Penguin rubbed his chin as he leaned against the counter. He snapped his fingers. "Cameron dislikes chocolate." I felt my mouth drop open in horror. "He hates chocolate?!" Penguin shrugged "I didn't say he hated it just dislikes it." I grabbed the dry erase marker and wrote on the board likes and dislikes. "Can you tell me what everyone doesn't eat, or are allergic too. I would also like you to tell me everyone's favorites if you know them." I wrote Cameron under the dislikes and then an equals sign and then chocolate. I also drew a sad face next to that. "Well Cameron's favorite food is curry. Anthony really hates coconut, on anything." I nodded and started writing the information down. He continued on "Anthony's favorite food is shrimp tempura. Captain hates bread, whatever you do don't give him bread. I think his favorite food is just onagri though. Bepo likes fish, and he doesn't dislike anything to my knowledge. Shachi doesn't like tomatoes by themselves but loves Italian food like spaghetti and lasagna. Bryan likes eggs and bacon. He doesn't like mushrooms."

I finished writing down all the information that he gave me I put a smile next to Bepo's name under this dislikes equals none. I then realized that he forgot to tell me what his favorites were. "What about you?" I wrote Penguin equals and then waited. "Well I don't really dislike anything except the Captains cooking." I laughed as I wrote equals none with another little smiley face. "What is your favorite food?" He was blushing a little bit and then mumbled an answer. "What?" I asked, he sighed and said "your stir fry is my favorite." He was still blushing. I gave him a big grin. "Well I will just have to make it for you some more." He nodded enthusiastically, he was so cute.

I finished writing on the board I would make sure to copy it down on a piece of paper later. Penguin led me out of the kitchen and back through the game room. He took me to the storage room again and pointed out some equipment on the left hand wall. "This is our emergency gear; in case we need to get out in a hurry. There are oxygen tanks in here and they are always kept full. The plan is to make sure Captain is hooked up to an oxygen tank first. That way he can still breath even if he loses power. He might not have the ability to be able to stand once the water gets to him. Then we swim him out doesn't matter who, just as long as we get him out."

I nodded indicating that I understood. He was looking at me wearily "you have a devil fruit powers too right?" I nodded he looked back over to the equipment. "We will have to include you into the escape plan too, I wonder if one of these will fit you." He walked over and pulled one of the hook that it was on and held it against me. "Don't worry about me. I control the water water fruit. I should be able to get us out of danger, well depending on how deep we are. My ability has a fine line of what I can and can't do. I make that line smaller all the time with my training. I still have a long way to go though I wasn't able to even protect myself when those men attacked me" I said bitterly. Penguin pulled me to his chest. I felt my body stiffen, Penguin must have to as he immediately let me go. "Sorry" he was blushing again. I waved my hand, "its fine just unexpected. Anyways if I go beyond my ability like for example if I tried to destroy a whole town. My body would shut down; I would probably knock myself unconscious. An overload to my system you could say. I have to make myself stronger and strengthen my ability. I have come a long way 6 years ago I wouldn't have been able to make a ripple. Now I am confident in the ability of being able to get to the surface with no issue. I should even be able to take Law, unless we were really deep."

Penguin was looking at me oddly "your devil fruit power is weird." I nodded agreeing completely. "I would never change it though." Penguin led me down the hall on the left side of the storage room there was several doors all along the hallway. He stopped at the first one on the left hand side, "this is Bepo's room". He pointed to the one across the hall it had a picture of a Penguin on it. "Yours?" I asked he nodded. We continued walking the next door on the left was Shashi's room. It had a don't come knocking if the boat is rocking sign on it. Next on the right was Anthony's room. "Anthony and Cameron might be in each other's rooms if you need them. They are twin brothers even if they don't look alike they are like freakishly close." He pointed out Cameron's room which was on the left side of the hall. "The last room is Bryan's." It had a go away unless you want to make my day sign on it. "These last rooms are storage." Penguin pointed to the last door on the left side and on the right. "The bathroom is in here." He pushed open the double doors at the very end of the hallway.

I was worried about this room but to my surprise it was nice and clean just like the rest of the sub. It was very large and the option of being very private surprisingly. On the left hand side of the bathroom there was a large sunken in part of the floor that was obviously supposed to be a large group bath. Behind that there was a small wooden room. I felt my cheeks heat up wondering if they bathed together. Penguin walked over to it and pointed "this is our sauna area. It helps relax and heal any injury's after battles and stuff. This bath imitates a hot spring its very nice. Sometimes the crew will come and soak. Behind that is a sauna, if you want to sweat out your problems." He turned around and pointed to the right side of the room. I could see the urinals against one wall and then stalls next to those. On the opposite side of the room were shower stalls. They all had individual shower heads and a curtain and a rod. There were sinks and a giant mirror in between the sauna and the bathroom area. Right smack in the middle of the floor where we were standing was a very large drain and a giant showerhead above us. Penguin saw me looking. "This is where we shower Bepo, poor thing sheds a lot! The smaller drains can't handle the hair they constantly clog we had to make something special." He walked over and opened a small black cupboard "this is where we keep the extra towels." He opened the one underneath of it and it had things like toilet paper and bathroom cleaner. "We all take turns cleaning the bathroom it is a bi-weekly chore you are assigned to clean this one and Captain's personal one. Captain has a chart on his office of rotations for chores. This week my chore is sweeping and the mopping. I sweep and mop all the hallways and the common area and also the dining area oh and the infirmary. We are entrusted to keep our own rooms clean. The navigation room is a chore on its own to clean the windows and do a system check. Captain is the only one allowed to clean the infirmary, besides the floors."

"Since you will be the chef it will be your responsibility to keep the kitchen clean, to prepare the food, and to wash all the dishes. That is a big job so I doubt Captain will give you further chores." I was amazed at how organized everything was and so perfect. I explained this to Penguin he just shrugged "Captain likes us to keep up one everything. We do that and then we have all the free time we want. It is nice to have everything clean though. I couldn't imagine living with men all the time and not having it be clean." He shuddered at the thought. We walked back down the hall. I stopped at his door the little penguin on it smiled happily at me.

"Can I go in?" I said looking at Penguin, he immediately blushed. "Um why would you want to go in there?" I took a step closer to the door. "I just want to see what it looks like. I am assuming that all the rooms are at least the same in shape and size. I don't know where I will be sleeping but, I would still like to know." I gave Penguin my best puppy dog eyes. "Just a minute" he rushed over to the door and opened it and closed it before I saw anything. I could hear him rushing around inside. My curiosity getting the better of me I opened the door to see Penguin picking up some underwear off the floor into his already full arms. The last item of clothing had been too much and made him drop the books that he had been holding. They spread out in front of me. They were porn. I blushed and looked at the wall pretending I didn't see anything. On the wall was a poster of a naked girl she was making a come hither motion with her finger. One of her eyes was closed in a wink and she was puckering her lips for a kiss. She wasn't the only poster, there were several. There was one on the ceiling with a girl bent over wearing thong panties. There was another with a girl holding a wrench in a provocative manner.

I walked over and looked at Penguins bed it seemed clean, it was made at least. I sat on it and waited while Penguin scurried about. He had picked up all the clothing items and the books (porn). He looked back to the doorway and saw that I was no longer there he turned and saw me sitting on his bed and blood came out of his nose. I raised my eyebrow at him "really? Go get a tissue and clean yourself up jeez." I shook my head as he left. The room itself was small but nice. Besides his posters on the walls it was really plain. The bed that I was sitting on was pushed into the corner. Next to the door was a small dresser there were a few photos of him and the crew. There was also a thing of deodorant, a toothbrush in a holder, and a body wash.

He had a small night stand that had a den den mushi on it and a writing desk. Next to the writing desk was a small garbage. I walked over to the writing desk and noticed a small note on a notepad buy shampoo/conditioner was written there. The desk also had a crudely drawn naked woman. The walls were a nice cream color. I smiled in approval it was a nice room. Penguin rushed back in with toilet paper jammed in his nose. "I like it" I gestured my hand around the room. "You really didn't have to clean up. I live with a boy and he is messy. I love him to death but that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't clean."

Penguin was shuffling his feet. "Well you can stop by whenever you want to, if you get lonely and just want to talk, or whatever." He finished obviously embarrassed. "I wouldn't want to have you be teased if the others saw me coming to your room" I replied. "They would just be jealous, after all you're the first female crew member that we have ever had and you're really pretty." I laughed "I would like to visit you. I might be a little lonely leaving the island. Watch out though I like to cuddle and I might just crawl in bed with you." Penguin blushed again causing me to laugh harder.

The door burst open Bepo, Law, and Shachi were all standing there. Law eyed me sitting on Penguin's bed and then Penguin himself standing by the door with the toilet paper in his nose. "Penguin-ya I believe I told you to give Celina-ya a tour of the sub in its entirety. I didn't mean stopping at your bedroom." Penguin started to stutter but I interrupted coming to his defense. "My fault" I said standing and walking over to them. "I wanted to see what the dimensions of the bedrooms were like. I asked Penguin to show me his. He accepted but he seemed to have injured himself. I was just calmly waiting for him here, as he got some toilet paper. We were just about to continue the tour." "We all heard you laughing Celina-ya." I raised my eyebrow and thought so what? Is laughing against the rules. "I was laughing Penguin's a really funny, sweet, and nice guy. I am enjoying getting to know him and already am planning on him being my good friend." I gave Penguin a grin and that blush returned and I laughed again. "I like that I can make you blush with a compliment. Its sweet." He turned redder. This just seemed to make Law more upset, "Penguin-ya I will finish conducting the tour." I frowned, but waved to Penguin "I will see you tomorrow" I said to him. "Goodnight Celina" he replied.

I walked out of the room and followed Law. I was calling grumpy grump face in my head for ruining my time with Penguin. Law led me back into main storage room and then down the hallway to the right there were only two doors in this hallway one was to the left and the other on the right. Law opened the door on the left and I followed him inside. "This is my infirmary" it looked like a plain doctor's office. There was the same basic equipment such as a scale and blood pressure cuff. There was the raised bed to sit on and the counters and cupboards that I am sure held a variety of medicines and other tools. He continued walking toward a door on the other side. Inside this room was an operating room.

He let me have a few moments to look around. He then grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the hallway. He opened the other door. This was a very nice office with a huge desk. There were tons of bookshelf's and they were alphabetized. There was also a bookshelf that had my research labeled on it. There was a couch in here and a large window that you could see the ocean. I walked over to it and looked out. I bet this view would be incredible while being submerged. I hoped that he would let me look through it again. "This is obviously my office." He walked over to the other door. He opened it and waited for me to walk inside. This was a bedroom with the main focal point of a very large bed. It had to be a California King if not bigger. The blankets were a silvery blue color and there were 4 pillows. The rest of the room was pretty basic with a dresser and a nightstand on either side of the bed. "My bedroom with my personal bathroom." He nodded to the door to the left of his bed.

"That concludes our tour Celina-ya. I will have the others prepare you a bedroom and we will make some other changes since you are a female you will require your own bathroom. For the time being I offer you the sofa in my study as your bed and I will share my bathroom with you as there is a lock on the door." "Thank you" I replied. He nodded "you may leave now as I am going to sleep." What a jackass I thought. "I am going to visit Tiny Goodnight Law." I watched as Law went to say something and then decided not to. "Goodnight Celina-ya we leave tomorrow at sunset so be prepared to take off." I nodded and left the room. I walked into the entry/storage room. I climbed out on to the little deck and clapped my hands and then waited. There was no response, maybe he went to bed, or found himself a sea queen like I told him to.

I was depressed I really needed my best friend. I heard the waves crash around the sub. "What is wrong Princess?" I jumped into the water and swam over to Tiny climbing on his back. I held onto his neck, "Tiny I am so weak! Mihawk would be so disappointed in me, if he saw what almost happened today." Tiny turned his head to look at me. "What happened?" I let my memory flow out of me and into him and I cried. I wasn't embarrassed or ashamed to cry in front of Tiny anyone else and I wouldn't have been able to. Tiny was my everything though. I let his touch and his calming voice sooth me. I let it comfort me into a sleep. "My Princess, no one will ever be disappointed in you. We all love you and there is no shame in needing someone to help you. There is a comfort in confiding in people." I didn't hear him though as I was already asleep.

I woke up the next day frozen. I had slept on an animal that wasn't warm in a wet sundress and a bikini. The sun had just barley started to rise. I kissed Tiny on his neck carefully so I wouldn't wake him and then jumped into the water and swam to the shore. I walked to my little home that I was sharing with Tyler. I jumped into the shower I let the water warm me until it was cool. I was still cold however. I dressed into a pair of flannel pajama pants and a tank top. I saw that Tyler was still asleep. He looked so sad. Besides Tiny he was my best friend on this island. I had never wanted him to be lonely. I pulled down the covers and climbed in next to him. I felt him throw his leg over mine and lay his head on my shoulder. "Love ya C." "I love you too" I said patting his head. We laid together for a few minutes until we both fell back asleep.

I woke up to Tyler wiggling he was apparently trying to get out of bed without waking me. "Sorry Celina but its way to hot I am sweating like a pig." I laughed and pushed him on the floor, "that is because you are a pig." He threw a pillow back at me and that resulted in a pillow fight. I won "I give I give" He yelled at me. "And the crowd goes wild for the undefeated champion Celina!" I raised my hands like I was in front of a giant crowd. Tyler was sitting on his bed. I walked over and sat down next to him. "We need to talk." He seemed to cower from me. "Are you still angry with me?" I nodded "but not for taking my underwear that was just whatever. I am mad that you were lonely enough to want to so that and didn't tell me. I would have done something we could have found you someone to go on a date with. You just needed to tell me. I would have at least been there for you. I feel like a shitty friend. I didn't even know that you felt that way." My eyes were downcast so I didn't see Tyler raise his hand. I sure felt it though when he slapped my face. "Stop it" he yelled. "I was dumb I know I should have told you. I was just a little embarrassed about it. Then I was ashamed, I am not ashamed of wanting to be with men. I am ashamed of how I went about it. Don't ever blame yourself I love you. You are my best friend.

"If I am your best friend don't ever slap me again, it really hurt" I rubbed my face. He laughed "well then don't be dumb." I stuck my tongue out at him. He did the same to me. "Are we okay?" He asked in a small voice. "We are more than okay we are great." I hugged him. He smiled "I am getting off this island. I need to get away from these homophobes. Before it was different with you here but since you are off to go on great adventures I think I am going to go to Momorio Island. I think I need to spend some time trying to love myself." I nodded "that sounds like a good idea. I am sure we will meet again someday." He helped me finish packing. There wasn't much to do as I had originally been planning to leave today with Justin anyway.

It was still pretty early when we had finished our small task. I wanted to say goodbye to Bernadette. After all she was my employer and the person that had been entrusted to watch over me the last two years. I knew practically no one would be at the bar. I opened the door and was shocked to see all the employees there (besides Alicia). "SURPRISE!" I was almost knocked over by the shout. I found myself being passed from arms to arms as I was hugged by everyone. I was told over and over again how much I was loved and how I was going to be missed. I was starting to get a little emotional. I was finally passed to Bernadette who immediately pressed my face into her chest. "Oh my baby girl! I am going to miss you so much! You better make sure you find yourself a sexy man. I want you to pick the right one."

She pulled me away from her chest to look at my face. "Sing us one more song Celina." I nodded enthusiastically I walked up to the stage a hush fell on the room. I cleared my throat. "I am going to miss you all. I want to share one more song with you before I leave." "Tomorrow I will be gone. The day might be long but don't get me wrong. I will be happy. I will be in the sun learning how to run. Each step I take with remind me of the time I had in the meadow. We watched each other grow and I know you remember the meadow. Are you there now? Are you thinking of me?

Law point of view:

I woke up and went into my office and there was no chef on my couch. I frowned and hurriedly walked to Penguin's room they had seemed to be very close. I knocked once "Penguin open the door." I waited a moment and then the door opened I looked at a very tired looking Penguin. I pushed past him and looked around the room. I didn't see Celina. "Captain?" Penguin was looking at me opened mouthed. "I can't find Celina-ya and I wanted to see if she came to visit you." Penguin shook his head. I left and checked the kitchen she wasn't there either. She must be back at the bar.

I woke up my tired crew and made them get ready we had to collect our chef after all. I pushed the door of the bar open and I heard the angelic voice of Celina. It was beautiful hauntingly so. I knew that I would be thinking about her singing for some time. "Are you thinking of me?" She ended the song with that question and Law was wondering if she happened to be reading his mind. He then heard the clapping and the cheering. He noticed that his crew had clapped and cheered with everyone else. The loudest person in the bar though was Penguin. He was yelling at Celina. "That was beautiful! You will have to sing some more for us!" He was telling her. She was blushing that beautiful shade of red was on her cheeks. I felt my mood which had been lifted by her voice starting to turn sour. Why was he the one making her blush? I am her Captain at least for the time being.

I walked forward to the very front of the room right in front of the stage. "Celina-ya you will sing for me whenever I request it of you as I am your captain." I didn't get a blush as I was hoping for but instead I got a raised eyebrow and a look of confusion. "Okay" she said. I tried not to be disappointed about her blasé attitude about it. "We will be waiting back on the sub for you. Please come when you have finished saying your goodbyes. We are all hungry and I know we were disappointed when we weren't able to eat the cooking of our chef." This time I got a blush. I smirked at her, "I will prepare something soon. I was almost done saying goodbye." I nodded and gestured to the crew to follow me back to the sub.
