MIho immediately started gagging, almost coughing up the bite of fruit in the process, but for some reason, ended up swallowing it anyway.
"You really are trying to kill me, aren't you?" she screamed at Rayleigh.
"I apologize for the bad taste; however, I advise you to finish the fruit," he replied calmly, "You don't know how you could be affected if you eat only part of it. And I promise that you will not regret eating it."
"Yeah you're right," she glared, "because I'll be fucking dead."
She received no response from both Shakky and Rayleigh, and gave up. After a few minutes of forcing down the "fruit" and gagging, Miho managed to finish it.
"How do you feel?" Shakky asked.
"My taste buds want to murder me. So when do I die?" she snapped, still slightly gagging.
"Hopefully you'll stay alive for quite a while," Rayleigh responded, "Now let's go somewhere quiet and start your-"
"Start my what?"
"So this was the Legendary Zoan you had…" Shakky mused, taking a look at Miho, and Rayleigh nodded, looking almost a little proud.
"Stop staring at me and tell me what's going on!"
"Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kitsune," Rayleigh smiled, "it seems that Miho has activated its powers already."
"Inu Inu no… what? Can I get a fucking explanation?"
"Don't worry, Moreau-chan," Shakky patted Miho gently, "This is one of the best hybrid Zoan forms I've seen in my life. You look beautiful."
"You do rival Alexa in terms of looks," Rayleigh conceded, "Now we shall see if your power does as well."
"I'm not even gonna try anymore," Miho grumbled, and tried to sit on the couch, when she felt something on her ass that hadn't been there before, "What the…"
She stood up, and tried brushing whatever was on her butt off, but it didn't quite work the way she expected it to. She felt something furry near her hand, and when she tried grabbing it, she yelped in pain.
"Moreau-chan, I think you should follow me," Shakky grabbed her other hand and dragged her into another room, "Now look in the mirror."
Miho's eyes widened. She didn't look too different, except for two silver and white furry ears near the top of her head. And of course, the white silver-tipped tails that were floating behind her as well.
1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9…
"I… I… what happened to me?" she whispered, "What did you do to me?"
"Inu Inu no MI, Model: Kitsune," Rayleigh repeated, "You make a lovely nine-tailed fox. Now, I'd appreciate if you stopped staring at your reflection. We have a lot of training to do."
"Fuck you, old bastard, fuck you."
OoOoO
"So uh Law, we were wondering…" Bepo murmured quietly, as Shachi and Penguin hid behind his fluffy body, "Could we spend only a couple days at Sabaody?"
"And a couple days is how long?" Law asked nonchalantly, taking a bite out of an apple.
"I've heard that 3 days is the minimum amount of time to get a ship coated so maybe 4 days?" three faces looked at Law eagerly.
Law sighed and stood up, as the three crewmates immediately took a step backward.
"I"m sorry," Bepo quickly apologized, about to cry.
"Getting somebody to coat our ship safely in 3 days will be difficult," Law mused, "and I'm not planning on leaving our ship to get coated on the first day."
"What? Why?" Penguin and Shachi squeaked in unison.
"I need to find a coating mechanic I can trust first. And I have some things I want to do there before we leave. After all, Sabaody is quite an… interesting place to go."
"But it's dangerous, you realize that right? And it's even more dangerous with the… The…" Penguin gulped.
"The Supernovas are no big deal," Law replied dismissively, "If we do run into them, we just have to make sure to not cross them. Even if we do cross them," he smirked, "They probably aren't that strong," with that, he took another bite of apple and walked out of the room, "We're going to have dinner soon, so get ready!"
"Prepare to die, guys," Shachi cried miserably.
The three crewmates immediately burst into tears, and Bepo was too busy crying to even apologize.
OoOoO
It was twilight when Rayleigh and Miho reached an abandoned beach. MIho immediately collapsed on the sand, as her tails popped out again.
"I'm afraid I can only give you 5 minutes to rest. Then we have to start your training."
"Bastard," Miho spat, breathing heavily, and unable to say anything more.
"We took too long getting here," Rayleigh explained, "So though I am sorry, I cannot go back on my word. We have too much to cover in a short amount of time."
"It wasn't my fault that these fucking tails kept popping up randomly," she snapped, pointing at them, "Honestly these better go away soon. They're a huge pain."
"There's no method of reversing the fruit at the moment. You'll just have to hope that Vegapunk comes up with something later. I'll also try my best to help you control them more easily. Get up now, we have to start."
"You said five minutes!"
"Since you're throwing out comprehensible insults, I think you're fine now."
Miho opened her mouth to argue, but thought better of it. Glaring at Rayleigh, she got up onto her feet, crossing her arms. Her tails floated behind her, constantly waving though there was no wind. They almost seemed to glow in the dim dusk light of the beach.
"What are you going to teach me, anyway?"
"Since we only have a week, I can only teach you the extreme basics of the nature of your fruit, and perhaps if you learn well, at least one form of Haki," Rayleigh responded, "I do have a fairly large amount of knowledge on your particular fruit, which will make both of lives much easier."
"I have no clue about half of what you just said, but let's just get started. I wanna get this over with."
"Roger that," Rayleigh smiled, and immediately lunged forward to attack her.
One Week Later
"Guys, we're here…" Shachi sighed, "Sabaody Archipelago."
"Why does this Land of Doom have to be so pretty?" Penguin asked miserably.
"I'm sorry…" Bepo burst into tears.
"Now now, don't cry, Bepo-ya. Nobody's going to die here. At least, not in our crew," Law smirked, "Let's just have a good time on this beautiful island, get our ship coated, and set off into the New World."
"Please Law, can we just stay inconspicuous while we're here? No fighting, no stealing, no killing, no mutilating random people? Please?" Penguin begged, "Let's just go into the New World as safely as possible, yes?" Penguin begged.
Law simply smirked, and walked off the submarine and toward the archipelago, "Those who want to see one of the most beautiful islands on the Grand Line, come with me."
Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin looked at each other sadly.
"Looks like we have no choice," Shachi sniffed.
"Let's die together," Penguin agreed.
"I'm sorry!" Bepo wailed, "I don't want to die!"
OoOoO
"Law has just arrived on the island. Are you ready, Moreau-chan?" Shakky asked, taking a breath from her cigarette.
"Very ready," Miho grinned, "I wanna see if my week in hell was actually worth it."
"You did quite well. We got much more done than I thought we would."
"Yeah I think I did really well too," Miho smirked, "After all, I managed to pretty much master my fruit, and learn the 3 types of Haki. You should be proud, old fucker."
We're both proud, don't worry Moreau-chan," Shakky smiled at her, "You'll do well in the New World."
"Ready to leave?" Rayleigh clapped Miho on her back, "You'll finally get to meet Law today."
"Yeah the one that I know everything, yet nothing about," Miho glared at him, "You need to work on your explanation skills, bastard."
Rayleigh chuckled a little, as Shakky opened the door outside. Miho grabbed her backpack and stepped outside.
"Thanks for the backpack, Shakky," she gave her a hug, "and for helping me survive with this old fucker."
"You're quite welcome. I wish you luck in the New World. It'll be nothing like you've ever experience before."
"I know, I know. You two have told me a shit ton of times. I'll be fine.'
"Ready to go?" Rayleigh asked.
"I already said I was," Miho sneered, "I'll come visit you someday, Shakky. Just don't tell old fucker since I don't ever wanna see him again."
"Alright. I'll make sure to not tell him," Shakky laughed, "Good luck, Moreau-chan."
MIho gave her a little salute before Shakky closed the door.
"Let's go meet Mystery Man, shall we?" Miho began her descent down the long stairs.
