Lucas: Why did you make us the bad guy?

Me: I didn't. You guys made it on your own.

Matt: She is right. Cat needs that Devil Fruit.

Me: See?

Lucas: Okay. *sulking* But in the next chapter make this up!

Me: Okay~! Now would you two so kind?

The twins together: Yonakaneko doesn't own One Piece, just us, OC characters.

„You did…what?" I whispered.

„We put a Devil Fruit in that salad" answered Matt.

„But…why?"

„We want to protect you. Even we know, that you won't be able to stay with us forever. We needed to make sure, you could protect yourself" explained my brother.

I remained silent. My brothers just put a Devil Fruit into my food. Anybody would be happy, right? Then… why I wasn't?

„You know which is it?" I asked silently.

„Nope" grinned at me Lucas, like it was the most oblivious thing in that world.

„Hey, are you okay?" leaned closer Ace. I stood up from the table and I exploded from the anger.

„ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! You put into my damn food a Devil Fruit? Are you crazy?" I screamed.

„We want to protect you, goddammit!" yelled at me Matt.

„Couldn't you ask me first? It's me, who have to be afraid of the fucking sea stone and I am the one who are not being able to swim anymore! You don't have brains?! Couldn't you do this after it turns out that I'll lose my eye or not?! Now I have to deal with this too! I fucking don't care that you want to protect me! You do this to me and you expect me to sit here and be a fucking good girl? Then let me clear this thing: I am not that innocent little sister whom you remember. You don't know the half of the things about me!" I said sourly.

„Then tell us!" requested Lucas.

„You two just fucked up the chance" I shook my head and went to the door.

„Where are you going?" demanded to know Matt.

„Out."

Nobody's POV

„That was harsh" said Ace.

„She sure has a temperature, yoi" nodded Marco.

„She is right. Even if you two are her brothers, you didn't have the right to do this with her." spoke up Zane.

„What the hell is with her and her things? What is she hiding from us?" whispered Matt.

„Calm down, you know, she just needs some time" encouraged him Lucas.

„I don't know mate. She looked like we betrayed her...just like before" shook his head Matt.

„Where did you two get a Devil Fruit?" asked Zane.

„From the Marines" they said together.

„They'll want to get it back" predicted Zane.

„Then, we should get some weapons" grinned the two slightly.

„What about Cat-chan?" inquired Thatch.

„If we would go after her now, she might just slice off our balls."

Cat POV

I was a jerk, I knew that, but I couldn't help. They didn't even know the Fruit's type! And they said that I was irresponsible. Pff… sure. I started to walk on the beach to keep my mind off the edge. It was hard to take it all. I knew that I should start a bond with the commanders, but I couldn't. It was selfish of me, but I needed to clear this in my head. My brothers want to protect me, but they didn't help with their actions. They just made my life there harder, but they were my brothers and I loved them with all I had. Sometimes I thought I might be too forgiving. That didn't mean I won't let them wait; I called this emotional sadism. I knew I was being a jerk, but please, let me be. I didn't even take in the things with my eye. It was hard, I needed a little more time to adapt than my brothers. They were happy there and I didn't have any reason to go back, but it was too sudden.

While I was thinking, the sun begun to set. I stopped and admired the view. The sea wavered lightly and the lights and the sky were amazing: blue, yellow, and orange, even a little purple too. My eye widened and I admired the wonder. I heard the various noises from the forest: the animals of the night slowly woke up. I grinned at the thought that maybe I'll meet with the big wolf.

I tried to open my right eye, but a sharp pain went through on my face. I forced myself not to panic, breath slowly. In and out, in and out. I opened it again, that time I succeed, but I shouldn't have do it…

Nobody's POV

„Okay, now I am worried about Cat-chan" furrowed his brows Thatch.

„What is with you?" asked Ace.

„I don't know, I have a strange feeling about her" muttered the commander.

„What are you speaking about, yoi?"

„Not in a wrong way" defended Thatch. „More likely, she will cause some surprises."

„I am sure Pops would like all the three" grinned Haruta.

„You just want another girl on the ship" laughed Vista.

„Of course I want! You guys are suck at sometimes" sulked the woman.

„We take it as a compliment" nodded Ace.

„I didn't mean it as" muttered Haruta.

„Where are you going?" asked Jozu when he saw Marco stood up from his seat.

„For a walk, yoi" he waved at them and went out.

He wondered about the siblings. They were sure quite interesting and now that Cat ate a Devil Fruit, she might be strong too, but if she really used swords, she didn't even need that power to protect herself. He grinned when he recalled how she was gawking at them after she realized they were there. That was a scene. But something was off; how she knew that they were all commanders? Why were they so friendly with them? Of course Zane wouldn't hire them if they were on the Marines' side, but the air around them was full with secrets.

Maybe if they could talk openly or make them to meet with Pops, they might be able to figure them out.

He thought back when he first met with Cat. Her eyes were close and just waited for the end. Of course she looked scared, but she accepted the death. She didn't scream, didn't cry just sat there. All of his instincts kicked in and he found himself flying forward.

While he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard quiet sobs. He headed to the direction where the noise came from and he saw Cat on the beach. She was on her knees and her face was hid in her palms.

„Cat? Are you crying because of your brothers, yoi?"

She seemed to freeze for his voice.

„I-It's not my…brothers" she said between sobs.

„Then what?" he went closer and cowered to her.

„Even if you have something before your…eyes…at least you could see the lights through it…right?"

„Yeah, at least if the material isn't block it out fully, yoi" nodded the blond.

„I-I tried to open my right eye" whispered Cat and when she looked at him, he saw how her tears were falling and what she said next, his eyes went wide: „Marco…I didn't see anything with it…"

This chapter ended as well ^^ I am really enjoying writing this story. I have to tell, that I write day after day, so the story just write itself :DI spend my lectures about to note some words in my exercise-book and when I get back to the student hostel, those words show me the main line.

Thanks for following to Devilgirl83 and Benii! ^^

Greawenn: You're so kind! You wrote me again! *give you a big hug* Thank you ^^ After that chapter, I don't tell so big secret, that your expectation/hope came true. I wanted to do this, because this will have some consequences, but mostly they'll make a joke about it. Cat is not that character, who remain sad ;) Again, thank you for your review and I hope you like it as well ^^
