I took longer than I expected on this second chapter, but I have finished it! I feel so accomplished…

Oh well! Red and review, please! I'll be taking OC's for a while now, so you can submit anytime! There's no limit to how many you can submit, and I forgot to mention to add winter clothes, beach clothes, and sleep clothes! My bad...

Anyway, enjoy!

Akira woke with a jolt when his small boat ran into the shore of the next island.

"So, I have no idea where I am, but I can always just go look around." Akira thought aloud to himself. He shrank down into his cat form before setting off further inland.

My computer is a jerk... Enjoy this random double page break.

Roughly half an hour later, he approached a town bustling with life. He glanced around in curiosity before weaving through the throng of people. To his surprise, he spotted a small group of felines, all varying breeds, mewing softly. Akira frowned—or at least frowned as much as a cat could, before he began making his way over to the group.

Are they following someone? Or maybe something… Akira pondered to himself. He jumped when he got kicked by some stranger in the streets, hissing with displeasure, before darting over to the group. When he got close enough, he slowed to a stop, counting the cats. 3 why are they here anyway?

Akira chuckled mentally when the cats made noises of displeasure. His eyes caught sight of a girl standing at the front, who was now looking at him curiously.

She had black hair with blonde streaks in it, coming down to the back of her neck while her bangs reach her past her chin on both sides of her face. She has shorter bangs that cover her forehead cut roughly. She had dark green eyes and was about an inch shorter than him. Akira took in her outfit next; short, faded jean shorts and a white tube top, with a leather jacket over that, reaching her waist and zipping up to about halfway. Her socks differed in length, one being up to her thigh while the other only reached her knee. She wore combat boots.

Akira took notice of a cloth choker around her neck. She didn't look like the typical cat-woman, but he decided t keep that opinion to himself, just in case she was violent.

He supposed it was because of his coloring; after all, a neon green cat wasn't exactly normal to see. He meowed, before growing and morphing into his human form once more.

Laila had been having a pretty normal day, and was currently out looking for some groceries. She loved cats, but sometimes they could eat you out of house and home.

As she was walking, she noticed that she had about 3 cats following her. She stopped and smiled at them as they meowed softly, looking for attention. Laila brushed a few strands of hair out of her face before turning and continuing on her way, pausing to look at a few necklaces in the window of a store.

Laila frowned as she heard the cats meowing with displeasure; perhaps there was a dog nearby? So she turned to scare it off, but was instead met with green. No0t just any green, either. Friggin' neon green. And it was a little shorthair cat that was sitting calmly as the other cats stared at it. It mewed softly before growing in size, its paws growing out and its legs getting longer.

It eventually turned into a guy; with pale skin and neon green wavy hair and he had hazel eyes with cat-like pupils. He was wearing a red cardigan sweater over a grey t-shirt and had on dark blue jeans. For shoes he had red converse with grey laces.

What's with this guy…

Laila couldn't say she had ever seen a cat turn into a guy until that day.

Akira watched calmly as the girl just blinked at him, looking utterly shocked. Then again, that would be the standard reaction for the situation they were in.

"Oi, you just gonna stand there?" He asked, amusement twinkling in his eyes.

"Well, it's not like I get to see a neon-frickin'-green cat turn into a guy every day, now do I?" Laila huffed, frowning at the male.

He just smiled, before offering a hand. "I'm Akira; how about you?" He asked.

Leila grabbed the newly dubbed Akira's hand and introduced herself.

"Well, I'm Laila; how did you turn into a cat anyways?" She asked, curiosity driving her. She supposed being around cats spiked her curiosity to new levels. But honestly, who wouldn't want to know how he did that?

"Oh, well I ate a devil fruit; it turns me into a cat whenever I feel like it." He stated matter-of-factly, grinning at Laila.

"Oh, I've heard of devil fruits, but I thought they were a myth…" Laila trailed off, looking thoughtful.

"Nope, they definitely exist; I've met another person with devil fruit powers, too." Akira stated.

The duo's lovely conversation was disturbed by the sound of a man being thrown out the doors of a nearby bar. They both turned their attention to the groaning middle-aged man, who was glaring at a red haired man who stepped out of the bar.

The man was stocky and muscular, with short dark red hair and beady black eyes. He was wearing a brown shirt and dirty blue jeans with brown work boots. He was currently shouting some nonsense about not disrespecting your superiors, and that he was the captain of a respected band of notorious pirates. Akira barely paid any attention to the rant.

Laila frowned; she didn't like those types of people, arrogant and conceited. Just as she was about to go forward to see what was going on, she noticed Akira was already half-way there. Laila decided to just stay and watch for the time being.
