CH.7 RAIN AND GROVE?
By the time Luffy and Nami had gotten into town they already had meet up with Kad , Will , Ussop ,and Zoro who had little trouble getting up. Forest hadn't moved a bit making rain feel more and more worried. When they got to the town it seemed like normal except for that everyone was on edge. Luffy looked around with forest on his back while Nami was comforting Rain and explaining to Holly what had happened. The rest of the crew had come with Zoro and Ussop except Robin who stayed behind with Brook and Chopper.
"So how is my month pregnant wife doing?" Asked Luffy playfully , a huge grin on his face.
"One month I thought it was two weeks." Said Zoro puzzled look.
"Luffy you nit wit!" Exclaimed Nami as she punched Luffy on the back of his head. The whole crew burst out laughing .
" come on guys let's find some where to eat I want MEAT!" Yelled Luffy as he recovered from Nami. Once they found a pub that had a familiar jolly roger. The bartender had a beany that covered his eyes over light purple. He was cleaning glasses behind the bar. Another man had a notebook and pencil and deep in thought . he was wearing a yellow shirt with a blue vest over it. One other man was sitting at the bar with a block of wood and a knife carving the wood. He had on a green shirt and blue pants.
"We don't serve pirates here. "said the Bartender as he put down the glass he was cleaning.
" good point Carrot we still haven't served those circa de fooys that have forced kaya out of her house." Added the man with the knife .
" Hey pepper , Carrot why don't we give the welcome we gave the other pirates." Said the third man looking up from his notebook.
" Please leave I don't want to make the wraith of one hundred thousand men come down on you." Said Carrot as he pulled pistol out from under the bar.
"you boys never learn that bluff never works and if it did a real pirate would fight that many." Said a Lady that had come down the spiral staircase. She had blonde hair that went down to her mid back. She had on a simple light blue dress. "hello ussop it has been too long." Said the lady as she walked to stand between the two groups.
" Kaya you look as beautiful as ever." Replied Ussop as he walked up to front of his group.
"Well if it isn't our old captain how's it been? "Asked Carrot as he put down his gun.
"good Carrot man you got taller." Replied Ussop shaking Carrot and the other former Ussop pirates .
" Uhmm miss kaya can you please look at my friend he needs help?" Asked Rain quietly.
" Uhmm what do you mean I don oh that is what you meant Luffy can you please take your friend up stairs first door on the right is the bedroom.
"ok" Replied Luffy as he and Rain went upstairs followed by kaya.
Once they got upstairs luffy put forest on the bed and left to back to Nami. " don't get any ideas or you get no food for a week or does he." Said Luffy as he closed the door his trade mark hat on his head.
" Man what did he do?" Asked Kaya looked at forests sleeping body . His breaths were shallow but what he needed .
"He was protecting me." Answered Rain as he gave Kaya a roll of bandages.
" Thanks So you're Nami's little Girl ? "Questioned Kaya trying to calm Rain Down.
" Ya but I'm nothing like my mom or dad I can't use devil fruit powers or use a staff." Replied Rain as Kaya bandaged forests last wound.
" Well you still have that staff right you can always get better." Said Kaya as she turned to face Rain smiling.
"nope it got slashed by that jerk jingo ." Replied Rain anger lining her voice.
" don't be mad at him he really is a nice guy . he is protecting this village." Said Kaya as she went over to the window. Outside luffy and the others were playing catch while Zoro and Kad were taking a nap .he had gotten into the habit form Zoro after training with him.
"What do you mean Kaya I thought he was part of those pirates ?" Puzzled rain confused at what Kaya had just said.
" Jingo is a boy form and was force to eat that devil fruit by those pirates .He is with them so they won't raid us . He is a hero here and is the only reason that I am still free." Explained Kaya Crying.
"uggh Man it has been a long time since I have felt pain and man where am I." Mumbled forest as he woke up . Rain knew it hasn't Forest his eyes were Cobalt blue but not this time filled with anger but calm punky feel.
" So I guess you and forest switched because he didn't want feel pain ." Teased Rain as Grove pulled himself up against the head broad.
" no he wanted to ask some things to Ash and he said that would be more help this time." Replied Grove angrily . "And for your info I can feel pain but I just don't say it." Added Grove as he pouted.
" ok than what about this !' yelled Rain as she slapped Grove on the back.
"uhhhhuhuhuh!" Screamed Grove as he jumped out of the bed , out the window and on to kad and Zoro.
"What the Hell!" Exclaimed Zoro and kad as they pointed Swords at Grove.
"hey Guys no harm done I mean don't hurt the injured right." Said Grove smiling worriedly with his hands up.
"That was So cool! "Shouted Luffy as he stared in amazement at Grove.
" Grove can I have word with you? "asked nami as she stood up for the bench that her and Luffy were sitting on.
"Sure Nami what do you want?" Asked Grove after they were out of ear shot of the others. Sanji and Zoro had gotten in a fight.
"look I want you to take Rain and go shopping ." Whispered Nami as she shoved some money in his hands.
"so why do I have to do this I'm always willing to take a girl a with a big pair on her like Rain but come on she has no interest in me or Forest ." Laughed Grove throwing his head back.
" SLAPP!'' Echo form groves face as he fell to the ground after Nami slapped his face.
" What the hell was that for bitch I was just kidding about her." Growled Grove holding his check. Anger laced his eyes.
"One if you ever talk about my daughter like that again you'll be lucky to be walking for a year!" threatened Nami shaking her fist. " She does like the both of you more than you will ever know so get cleaned up and tell her about what you are doing." Ordered Nami as Grove went off to do as he was told .
"That was easy ." Said name as she walked over to the rest of the crew.
" So did you get him to do it? "Asked Luffy as Nami sat down beside him.
" Yep and he fell for the threat all the way ,hook , line , and sinker and he is now Grove so he is already on it ." Replied Nami smirking knowing she just set her daughter with someone who had attacked them not but one month ago. Nami smiled looking up at the sky in the thought of her daughter at a wedding of her on and trying to control luffy.
Back inside Rain was sitting alone with head on a table sleeping. Grove came down stairs after borrowing some of carrots old clothes. Namis money in hand he went over to Rain and tapped her shoulder.
" Uhhuh." Mumbled Rain as she woke up sleep still clinging to her eyes. " Oh Grove what do you want?" Asked Rain as she rubbed her eyes .
" Look I got some money why don't we go and get you another staff? "Questioned Grove lips puckered and head turned staring out the windows .
"sure and can we get lunch I'm starved." Replied Rain excitedly as she pulled Grove out the door a trail of dust following them as grove flapped in the wind like a sock .
" RAIN SLOW DOWN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WERE WE ARE GOING !" Screamed Grove as Rain halted her charge putting her finger to her month.
"Coome Oon rain can't we please just walk ." Said Grove dazed his eyes swirling.
"Sure Grove but I think that we are here." Replied Rain as she and Grove turned to look at the store that Rain had stop in front of. It had a sign reading Jing the store for all needs except pirates.
" Well let's see what this place is." Said Rain as he and Grove went into the store. On one wall it had weapons of every kind sitting around and on the other side it had musical instruments on it ,while the back of the store was a bar.
"Look at this grove." Exclaimed rain as she picked up a saxophone. It was black on the bell and the lower half while the upper half was silver. "Can you play? "Asked Rain as she handed it to Grove.
"A little it has been years since I played last." Replied Grove as he put the neck strap . he put his mouth to the mouthpiece and started play a jazz piece that moved Rain in ways he never knew could be done. She swayed along with the music. When the song ended Grove put the Saxophone back and smirked in memory of his mom teaching him that.
" My god man you are amazing I didn't know that you do that so can forest do that/" Questioned Rain excitedly clapping at Groves performance.
" Nope but he can make pretty good blade .Actually he is the one who made Kads Sabers." Replied Grove as he put the saxophone back on the stand.
" Well that was unexpected to say the least!" Exclaimed a familiar voice form behind not he good kind of familiar.
" JINGO!" Screamed Grove as he drew the knife .
"Well nice to see you too let's talk." Said Jingo nonchalantly.
" ok And I hope you know I'm not Forest." Said Grove as the two stared each other down.
