"I am not going to ask" - old tongue
chapter 22
-luffy's p.o.v-
i looked up as the others walked into the room i've clamed as my own on the seventh floor behind the tapestry of the wolf and the full moon in one of the dead end corridors. Halloween is in a week, i watched as they all found chairs matching their colours, over stuffed sink into and don't want to get out of chairs, i looked to my sisters as Robin pulled out a book on runes "Wind, Water i have a job for you" i said going back to my paper work "yes Darkness" Nami asked, i signed my name before moving the finished work to a box "there is the philosopher stone at the end of the third floor, i want it before Halloween" i replied.
That got the others attention "why" Usopp asked, i looked over to the earth element and grinned "if it's a fake leave it, if not i know an old man who will want his stone back, Death your job is to search the old goats office see if it's there" i replied. that got some raised brows "why not check the Dark and shadows yourself" Franky asked, i sat up linking my fingers placing them in front of my mouth "i know my elements still answer to my call, i know how the jobs i'm giving will end, i just want to test you can still call upon your powers" i replied. i looked to my sisters getting a nod before going back to my paperwork but not before seeing Nami's devil like smirk, do i want to know, nope i'll wait and see.
i sat in the grate hall three days later with the pack at the yellow table as Nami walked in with that smirk, i raised a brow at her before she placed a rune covered box the size of my hand by my plate. what has she done i watched as she crossed her arms "not even going to say thank you after all the work i did to get you that" she asked loudly, the other brow joined it's brother as the hall went nearly silent and turned to watch us "realy now, well then thanks" i said. that grin came back so i narrowed my eyes at the water mistress "what you do" i asked, she moved her hands to her hips "the copy i left there has nuclear strength inching power that attacked the privets if used, just holding the stone will turned whoevers skin a lovely shade of neon orange" she replied to the group only. i couldn't stop it if i tried i barked out laughing before standing grabbing Nami around the middle swinging her around "put me down you suicidal moron" she yelped. i put her down hopping back a few steps as she took a swing at me "i'm not suicidal" i said crossing my arms looking down at my navigator.
she rolled her eyes "you broke into a prison that only one other person escaped" she said, narrowing my eyes at her "to save my stupid brother, i got back out" i pointed out. she huffed "Enies lobby" she said, i grinned darkly at that one "they stole one of ours, you lot followed me so that makes you just as bad" i replied. she narrowed her eyes before hissing "marine HQ alone", now which time is she thinking about now, i blinked she can't be thinking about that time i snarled at her "revenge" i growled making her step back knowing she pushed it with that last one. the hall watched as this strong willed women Nami has shown herself to be since her sorting, she lowered her eyes before bearing her neck to me. i saw her eyes change from their burnt orange to a bright fire orange as she closed them to hide the change, i sighed moving over to her bring my hand up to place it on her neck before bending to place a kiss on her brow "forgiven" i said against her skin.
-Severus' p.o.v-
i watched my godson move away from his sister who opened her eyes, i saw her lock eyes with her captain she must have seen what she was looking for because her moved to stand close to him almost touching before standing on her toes placing a kiss on his jaw, i saw her lips move as if whispering something. Luffy blinked looking down at her before huffing then his eyes moved over to the box she placed in front of him, he looked to her and wink "Yami {darkness}" he called.
i wasn't the only one to jump as a burst of shadows appeared at his shoulder before forming into a swan sized bird who let out a haunting like song, i stared at the jet black and dark silver phoenix that sat on Luffy's shoulder, i saw Pandora and Diablo lift their heads from where their lead under their masters chair curled up. looking to the dark phoenix i can see it's larger then Fawkes far larger a head and half a neck taller then the fire bird that lives in Albus' office. Luffy grinned at Nami as his eye slide across the rest of his crew, wait that is a challenging grin, Zoro huffed "we're playing that are we captain" he asked, the wolf chuckled "only if your game" he replied what are they playing at now.
Zoro sat back crossing his arms with a smirk "raitoningu {lightning}" he called only for a burst of lightning came to life before a phoenix just a little smaller then 'Yami' appeared on the back of his chair, it feathers a blinding white/blue/purple/red like lightning bolts, a bird of living lightning, the very air around the bird crackled. Sanji chuckled placing a new lollipop in his mouth "Goka {hell fire}" he said only for a bird that looked like living fire appear on his shoulder the same size as the lightning phoenix.
Nami held her arm out "Junsui {pure water} if you please" she said only for a bird a tiny bit bigger then Fawkes to appear out of a swirl of water, it's feathers like pure untouched clean water. Usopp threw his head back and laughed "chikyu {earth}" this phoenix like the earth browns and greens feathers like stone, leaves and plants, larger then Junsui smaller then Goka. Robin held out her arm "kuki {air}" she said softly, this bird looked like solid wind forever shifting colours the size of Junsui. Chopper giggled before calling out "seikatsu {life}" a pure white and pink bird the size of Fawkes landed on his shoulder giving off the feeling of life, Franky leaned back in his chair with a smirk of his own "come Kinzoku {metal}" he said eyeing the other birds as one that looked like a robot or cyborg landed on the back of his chair before peening his hair, this bird near Raitoningu in size, Brook had an impossibly wide grin as he threw his head back "yohohohoho Shi {death}" he called before the feeling of death it's self made our skin crawl as a jet black bird landed on his out stretched arm, it had markings like a skeleton over it's body, it was just a little bigger then kuki.
Luffy laughed looking around the hall as he placed a hand on Yami's breast smoothing the feathers down "i have a job for you old friend" he told the bird who trilled at the boy. the human grinned picking up the box left on the table he went to give it to the bird but i saw the brat JJ stand "give me those birds" he demanded.
His older brother looked to him before snorted "piss off runt these are our bonded familiars, we are not just going to hand them over" he told the boy. the crew snorted as their captain held the box to the dark phoenix "take this to Crimson he'll know what to do" he told the bird, the bird thrilled as it took the box and vanishing in a bust of darkness.
Luffy sat down as Pandora sat up placing her head on her masters lap as the male hound huffed moving to place his head on his master feet "you already have two familiar so give me the bird" JJ growled, Luffy huffed locking eyes with the brat king "no, i have three familiars there is no rule as to how many one can have and why should i give up what is mine" he asked. i saw the younger puff up "because i am your king, every one knows you are reborn and all pirate reborns have to listen to their king" he replied. all nine of them threw back their heads and laughed some of them holding on to the one next them so not to fall "you the king the man named pirate-god, if so i was a bloody marine" Luffy said. He stood moving over to his brother before bending to his height "i bow to no man and i sure as hell wont bow to a snot nose brat like you, you are not the king" he told the boy. He moved back to the rest of his crew "how the hell do you know that" JJ growled.
Luffy barked out laughing before turning once again to his ex-brother "answer me these then boy 1) the order the king found and had his crew join him, 2) their names and positions in the crew 3) who trained the king after the first war, 4) how old was the king when he set out to sail, 5) what was the name of the ships and how many did he have, 6) how old was the king when he was crowed 7) who was his mate, 8) what age did he marry, 9) the kings fruit powers, 10) the kings name and living family" he asked. the boy-who-lived-to-be-a-brat blinked so Luffy huffed making a signal with his hand that had all his crew get to their feet and follow him out of the hall just as Yami appeared on his shoulder.
