So here is the second part of the bonus. One is still left. I will probably upload the last part in two weeks because of the football world cup.
To the chapter, it was difficult... I wanted one person to appear had started to write about 2k words before I deleted it because I got to a point that I didn't know how this person to react. Maybe it is just because the person is not an easy character for me to write... It is/was Boa Hancock. I wanted her to come along and find out about Luffy being married and pregnant, but well... my mind didn't really give me an idea how to her visit, just that I wanted to hint at Kingdew's crush on her again xD
But well, since I crossed out Hancock, I had to think about some things which should be in the chapter and I am feeling conflicted slightly. Don't know why... So I'm open for critics:x if not then enjoy the chapter;)
Psycho the Random Vixen: Yes, it is starting~ I just hope it stays interesting. To be true I'm a bit worried about the last part which will come in two weeks.
Natsuyuuki: No problem;) I already hinted it very strongly so. No problem in telling it. Wait and read;) or if you want to guess it read bonus 2 again.^^
CelinaB: Thank you^^ Even if you don't like it, it makes me happy that you still read the bonus^^
yukino76: and a big Luffy and a big Marco run after the little one to keep it safe^^
~Bonus 5.2 - News ~
Koala sighed. She could feel a headache growing. She really could understand why her boyfriend wanted to visit the Moby Dick more often. But he didn't have to start to live there.
Sabo still had duties to fulfil. Duties, which her blonde boyfriend neglected to fight with some commanders and Straw Hat Pirates over the title "Godfather" of Luffy's and Marco's unborn child.
"If it is a girl, I'll be the perfect godfather to treat her like the princess she is."
"Shut it, ero-cook. I doubt the child would like to be treated like that. After all, Luffy and Marco are both more for simple things."
Koala massaged her temple. Now the swordsman and the cook of the Straw Hats were in their typical mood.
"Why don't you wait until Luffy and Marco appoint one of you as the godfather. Maybe no one of you will become a godfather. Maybe the child will grow up with Makino, so it can be safe. Or maybe they asked Dragon-san to hide it. After all, it is the child of two famous pirates", Koala asked. Hoping they would stop now.
"Dragon-san has skills at hiding something are incredible. The government never found our hide-outs as long as he didn't want them to find us", Sabo told the other. But this statement didn't seem to make the others happy.
"When Dragon gets involved, we will never see the little one again. That's not nice and unfair, because you can get involved with the child's life", the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard pirates said and pouted along with some others.
Koala had to suppress a chuckle. It was kinda funny to see a few seasoned pirates pout about the fact that they won't see their niece or nephew. But this led to another discussion.
"What are they arguing about now, yoi?"
Koala turned her head to see Marco and Luffy. The pirate king was wearing a buttoned up shirt which definitely belonged to the blonde first division commander. Slightly hidden behind this loose shirt was a lightly growing belly.
"The usual. The title of the godfather and now they are talking about safe places and that Dragon-san shouldn't get involved", Koala said with a sigh, before she looked curiously at the pair.
Marco had sat down on a chair and Luffy had directly taken the opportunity to sit in the blonde's lap to cuddle.
"Can you feel the baby moving?", Koala asked to change the topic. She wasn't interested in the baby as much as Sabo. But this child would still belong to her family, so she was curious.
"Sometimes in bed when I want to sleep", Luffy said. "He keeps me awake as long as the baby move. It's definitely going to be like Luffy. Just from the energy, yoi", Marco added amused, if she was right, and gave his lover a kiss on the lips, which formed a slight pout. Koala smiled slightly.
Now the others seemed to notice that the future-parents are with them.
"So did you decide for a godfather?" "Do you know a safe place where we could still visit her or him?" The female revolutionary army member wanted to facepalm. They couldn't keep quiet on this topic for a minute.
But Koala studied the couple curious how they would deal with it. There seemed to be a silent communication before Luffy said: "The baby is staying with Marco and me."
This surprised many.
"Luffy, don't take this wrong. But are you sure? You attract a lot of trouble…", Nami said. The navigator of the Straw Hats looked worried.
Koala also noticed worry in the eyes of Ace and Sabo.
Luffy snuggled more into Marco who had his arms protectively around the pirate king. "I know I attract trouble sometimes… but I also know that there is no safe place. Even if the marine didn't know about Ace and me back then… there were still times when we could have died. Also, I don't want the child to be lonely. Because being alone hurts more than anything. I don't want that for my child… also, I… I want to be part of the child's life, even if I don't know how a parent should be like. I don't want to hide it away and let it grow up with thoughts like Ace had…", the pirate king said.
The glances were now fixed on Ace. But only Sabo, Luffy, Marco and Whitebeard seemed to really know what had been around Ace's head.
"Well, I guess I can speak for both crews and for the ships. That the Moby Dick and the Thousand Sunny will bring you to any place you want", the old captain said. Turning the attention away from Ace. Many nodded.
"Like Luffy said there isn't really a safe place. But when we discussed it, we agreed that we both love the sea too much to say on an island for too long. The child will probably be the same, well more hopefully. So there was really only one option and to be true, this option is also the safest place we could think of. The Moby Dick and the Thousand Sunny with their crews present. The places where the child is people who we trust our lives with. So if it is alright with all of you, we would stay mostly on the Moby Dick as my room is big enough and we won't disturb the sleep of many people. But also sometimes travel on the Sunny to be a bit away because so many people could be too much sometimes for the child, yoi."
Koala smiled softly at the blushing and embarrassed face of the people who fought for the godfather-title not even a few minutes ago. She could also see a grin on the pride future-grandpa.
"A family is a great treasure. Something I hope my sons and daughters know", Whitebeard said with a soft and thoughtful smile towards his crew.
"Captain, we may have reached Raftel, but we all made a vow to follow you until the end", Zoro spoke up with a serious voice. The other Straw Hat Pirates nodded with a confident grin.
"I'll …" "You'll be a good uncle who visits sometimes and doesn't forget to fulfil your duties so you can set a good example for the child", Koala finished Sabo's sentence. This got her a shock glance from her blonde boyfriend and laughs from the crew.
The loudest laugh came from Ace.
"Now that is a great atmosphere for a visit."
"Ji-chan?" "What are you doing here, Jiji?"
A surprised shout from Luffy and shocked shouts from Ace and Sabo. Whitebeard laughed over the reactions. It seemed like the old captain had predicted that the vice-admiral would show up.
Most of the crew members looked sceptic at Monkey D Garp who just threw a few rice cracker in his mouth.
"What no hugs for grandpa, you ungrateful brats?" "You will only hit us", Ace and Sabo said in unison. Luffy looked unsure a bit, but then seemed to decide that he was comfy in Marco's lap. This was directly confirmed when the pirate king spoke up: "I would. But I am comfy where I am right now." On Luffy's face was a bright happy smile.
Koala noticed that Marco seemed to change his hold. It looked more protective. Especially around Luffy's belly. This made the revolutionary army member worry.
Garp's eyes were on Luffy. "Oi, Jiji, why are you visiting?", Ace asked.
What was the intention of …
Koala wanted to facepalm. The reason was so easy. It was to get the attention away from Luffy because even if the belly was hidden a bit, it became somehow obvious what was going with the pirate king. And Garp wasn't known for being able to keep secrets.
But it looked like Ace's plan failed. "Luffy, did you eat too much that your body doesn't have the time to burn it, yet, or is there another reason for the belly of yours?"
Koala blinked when Ace and Sabo got into their fighting stance. They didn't expect to fight against the vice-admiral who liked to throw cannonballs after people. Also, could these two be more obvious that something is going on? This made the whole scene only more suspicious.
"I'm not fat… but hungry. Sanji, Thatch, when is the food ready?", Luffy chirped making both cooks sigh before they went to work. This two would probably cook enough to feed a whole island, just for Luffy and the baby.
"So the rumour is true?", Garp asked. The old marine suddenly seemed excited.
"Not directly. It came true with the help of a friend", Whitebeard said.
A bright grin appeared on Garp's face. "I'll buy the best sake the next island to celebrate", the vice-admiral cheered. Shocked faces and Whitebeard laughed. "Damn, I forgot. I can't stay to celebrate, because I have to control Coby and Helmeppo. The idiot will go on my nerves when I'm more than three days late."
Then he stopped and looked thoughtful. "It would be fun to scare the idiot with the child and see his reaction. Only to punch him in the ocean. But that can't wait … How long? And what is with you two? Aren't you thinking about becoming parents, too? Some grand-grandchildren from you, too, and I could die happy", he said and looked at Sabo and Ace during the last questions.
Koala felt a blush on her cheek. Grand-grandchildren for Garp meant … that Sabo and she would also get a little baby. But was she ready for it with all their duties and Sabo's brother-complex?
"Tell it, Sabo. Sabo has a girlfriend", Ace said. "Help Ace. He is single and will need more help."
"Ow."
Both brothers got a taste of Garp's fist. She pitied them a bit. But they deserved it somehow.
The attention of the vice-admiral was then back to Marco and Luffy.
"It's still around four to five months until the baby comes, yoi." "But I can feel it moving sometimes already", Luffy grinned at his grandpa.
"Pity, that she or he will grow up here most likely." Garp looked a bit sad when he made the break before he looked more optimistic. "But it is probably the safest place. But if my grand-grandchild gets a bounty under seventeen and you could have done something to prevent it, I'll use you as cannonball aim training", he threatened.
"Ji-chan", Luffy whined.
"Sorry, Luffy. Just want to look be careful."
The atmosphere was strange since Garp's visit last month.
On one side it was full of excitement for the newest addition to the family. Discussions, how they could babyproof the ship, were already hold even if it would take more than a year before they would need it.
Blamenco and Franky made it their job to design lots of different cribs and other furniture that Marco and Luffy would need for the baby. They glared at anyone who suggested that they could just buy it. This was something for the family so they would design and built it themselves.
Izo chuckled slightly when he imagined what an enemy would think about them if he attacked them during one of the baby phases. A shocked expression would mostly be on his face and then he wouldn't be sure if he could take them seriously or not.
Especially when Oyaji exchanged his sake bottle with a baby book to read about handling one. Looked like this baby already did something for their father figure's health without being born, yet.
Izo smiled softly when he studied his father before he looked down again to continue knitting a cap for the baby to protect the head from the cold weather on the Grand Line.
But his eyes wandered again.
Oyaji was in his chair reading another baby book. Leaning against the back of the chair was Marco. His blonde brother was asleep with Luffy in his arms. The hold was mostly protective around the belly which grew more and more. But Izo couldn't see it very well, as Tess had put a blanket over both of them to keep them warm.
Close by sat Ace. The second division commander watched over his baby brother and also over Marco like a hawk. It was surprising to see how much work Ace could do when he wanted. The piles of paperwork, which were normally found in Marco's room, were now seen very often in the fire user's room.
But Ace's hawk-like behaviour brought Izo's thoughts back to the other side of the strange atmosphere.
For some reason, they expected to be attacked. The reason was Garp's inability to keep a secret. Even if he kept Luffy's and Ace's heritage a secret until it was made public to the world. But still… the crew was tensed slightly.
"Ship sighted, Oyaji. It's the Red Force."
Oh no… Not Akagami. They didn't need the red-haired Yonko. Especially not, if it was clear that one wrong word or one wrong move would piss Marco off when it woke up Luffy.
The Phoenix was scary enough now that there were already bets who would run away just seeing him. The list of the people, who they thought would flee, was long and included some prominent names of vice admirals, Shichibukais and Yonko crew members. Hell, even some commanders of their own crew would run away in fear if the attention of Marco was on them.
"What does the brat want now?" Oyaji seemed annoyed that he couldn't read further in his book. Well, maybe the meeting would be fun. Just judging from his father figure's facial expression.
"Don't know, yet. But he had requested to come on board", a crew member said. "Fine, permission granted. But tell him if he uses even the slightest bit of his Haki, his crew need to fish him out", Oyaji threatened.
That made Izo look at his captain curiously. "Strong Haki expose is not good for a baby when it is still in their mother's womb. I don't know how it damages the child. But I heard enough of it to know that it is not very healthy", Oyaji explained.
Izo nodded. Even if he guessed that the baby would most likely have a strong will and maybe, just maybe, the little one would inherit Haoshoku Haki from Luffy, it would be better to listen to Oyaji.
"Whitebeard, what's wrong? Can't take a little Haki any longer?", Akagami said when he came aboard and dragged a sake bottle behind him. The red-haired Yonko seemed amused for some strange reason. He wouldn't know about Luffy being pregnant, would he?
"None of your business, brat. Just tell me the reason for your visit and then leave", Oyaji grumbled. It was clear that even with the big bottle of most likely fine sake, Akagami must have a very good reason for this visit.
Laughter was heard. Izo could understand why Marco was annoyed most of the time with the other Yonko. He didn't seem to know when he was unwanted.
The cross-dresser took a quick side-glance towards the sleeping couple. Both still looked relaxed. Well Marco at least, Luffy's face was hidden a bit. But he could see Luffy's lips which were curled into a little smile.
"I brought some good sake to drink and to tell you a good rumour I heard from some marines who were in my territory. It involves a fight between Akainu and Blackbeard. Rumour said that Akainu has killed many of the crew. Also, it said that Blackbeard is shipped to Impel Down", Akagami said with a grin.
Blackbeard was defeated!? By the marine!?
This words started a whispering between the crew members.
The news sounded strange. Why hadn't they heard about this? Normally, they heard this kind of news were quick. Could this be a trick of the marine?
"So you just want to drink on a rumour?" Oyaji sounded sceptic. "And I want to see Luffy again. When he didn't want to hit me for asking his husband to join my crew or is getting married", Akagami said with a laugh.
"Then you should be quiet. Otherwise, someone will hurt you", Thatch commented with a grin. Izo shook his head. Why couldn't Thatch be quiet? Now it was clear that something was up and Akagami wasn't one to not notice it. Especially not when Luffy was involved. Then the man could be really smart.
It was clear from Akagami's face that he was surprised. "Now this visit becomes a bit more threating the longer I am on board. I somehow miss the insults from your first division commander", the red-haired man said, but still had his grin on his face. "Oh, we can help with that. But only if you have death wishes", Thatch stated. "Be quiet, Thatch. Otherwise, we have to deal with saving you from your death wishes as it seems", Curiel teased.
"Hey, Marco had never tried to kill me seriously except in the short period where he and Luffy had broken up", the cook protested. Izo put a hand on Thatch's mouth. "Just stop talking for a moment", he said and looked at his lover who took the chance to press kisses against his hand.
"Okay, something is going on. Is everything alright?" Akagami sounded suspicious and worried. Maybe he thought the bad mood, which he guess Marco had, was because something was wrong with Luffy. Well if Akagami thought so he was close to the reason but probably wrong reasoning.
"Everything is alright. We just want to keep things calm for some time. Meaning no big party and also keep drinking on low level", Oyaji said.
Shock. Just pure shock was on the red-haired Yonko's face. Well, who wouldn't be shocked if Oyaji turned down an occasion to drink. Normally the man was always seen with a cup of sake or a sake bottle.
"Hold it a moment", Akagami said and went to the side of the deck to communicate with his crew. "Benn, something is not right. Whitebeard turned down a drink. Are we really on the Moby Dick?"
Now that was loud. Too loud for the sleeping couple. A whine from Luffy was the only warning they got.
"We are not under attack. So what is your damn problem to be quiet one time, yoi?"
Marco had a very annoyed expression. More annoyed than usual. "His fault", Thatch said hastily and pointed at Akagami.
Izo would pity the poor man if it wasn't for their own good to put the blame mostly on the other Yonko. Well, it was his fault for coming around and telling them about the rumour and then screaming to his crew.
"Don't go away, Marco. It was so comfy until it got too loud…", Luffy grumbled and appeared next to the blonde.
The blanket was still on his shoulders like a coat and hid the belly. Luffy's arms went around Marco's torso and his brother-in-law buried his face in the first division commander's shoulder. If it wasn't for the Phoenix's angry glare and annoyed expression, Izo would have said that this scene with these two was cute.
"Luffy", Akagami was only able to address the pirate king, before Marco told him to shut up. An arm of the blonde was now around Luffy and kiss, most likely used as a sorry, was pressed into the black hair.
"Maybe you two will get some sleep if you go to your room, Marco", Oyaji suggested with a calm voice. Blue eyes were now fixed on their father figure.
Izo bit his lip. It was surprising to see how Marco's face became calm after these words. Well, Luffy snuggling more into the blonde seemed to help, too.
"Carry me~", was a whispered demand from the pirate king and he snaked his arms higher so that they were around Marco's neck. The blonde sighed before he carefully lifted Luffy up in his arms. The blanket fell to the ground
"Byebye", they heard the pirate king chirp as Marco carried him away.
Shanks had gone quiet. Very quiet. Izo turned to look at the red-haired Yonko.
The eyes of the man were fixed on the point were Marco and Luffy had disappeared inside the ship.
"Why does Luffy have a belly?"
So he had noticed. Every eye pair was now on their father figure. Should they really tell him what exactly was going on?
"The reason why we want to lay low."
The next sound was shocking. But only because they hadn't expected it. It was a squeal. A squeal from the Yonko Akagami no Shanks.
Now Izo regretted that he wasn't able to record this sound for some blackmail material.
Luffy was divided in his opinion on the pregnancy.
On the one side, he wanted the baby to be finally born. He was curious about how this child would look like. More like him or more like Marco. Secretly he hoped the baby would look more like his husband because he liked his lover's look. Also, he would be able to play with the baby and sleep a little more without being excited to feel the little one move inside him.
But on the other side… well, he did like to have Thatch and Sanji as his private cooks on call. Even if the food was carefully selected, it tasted really good and would be a shame to not have this any longer. Maybe if the little one was bigger, they could think about a second baby. So there was another child around and these two could then maybe share the same bound as Ace, Sabo and Luffy.
This reminded the pirate king of the good times in his childhood. Hunting and fighting with his big brothers. Dine and dash.
Something poked his lip. "Finished already, yoi?" Marco's voice sounded surprised. Luffy looked down a bit to see some fruit which he quickly took in his mouth. "Never", the black-haired man said with a grin and pecked the blonde's cheek.
Luffy was quite happy that Marco let him to do things his way. Meaning he could get the blonde to fed him while being able to cuddle with him.
At the moment, he was seated between Marco's legs as they ate lunch together with Ace, Thatch, Izo, his crew and some other commanders outside on the deck.
"Ah, there are you two. I have some news for you."
Tess appeared behind them. She had a strange look on her face. Luffy didn't know if it was positive or negative.
"Positive or negative, yoi?", Marco asked. He felt the Phoenix's arms around him and heard the worry in his voice. This made Luffy chew on his lip. If his lover was worried, should he be, too?
"Depends on you", Tess said. A slight grin appeared on her face. "You know when I took the sonograms that everything was fine. Except that there were some little things that were out of place? Well, I finally found the reason for it after I compared all of them and read the documents again." The nurse made a break.
"What is going on?" "Is the baby alright?" "Do you know the gender know?"
His crew and the others got more excited about this than Marco and Luffy. The pirate king only wanted to hear that the baby is fine and Marco probably, too.
"Don't worry, the babies are fine", Tess said and calmed the atmosphere.
But Luffy felt Marco tensed and he turned his head to look at his lover. The blue eyes were widened slightly and his mouth hung open. "Marco?", Luffy asked and poked him slightly.
"Tess, did you just said babies? Meaning more than one, yoi?" Marco sounded strange. Like he didn't believe what he heard.
"Yes. One always behind his or her sibling so it was hard to notice it. But congratulations, you are having twins."
Luffy blinked at Tess in surprise. Twins? That meant two babies. There were two babies growing inside him?
"They're having twins? That means we must edit our plans of the crib", Blamenco said. Luffy wanted to open his mouth and protest because he liked the designs he had seen for the crib. "No protest, Luffy. We promised you some SUPER crib for the baby. So now we design one or two for your SUPER twins", Franky said posing.
The others were mostly shocked. Jiru even fainted. Poor piggy-nose.
"Looks like the child isn't going to be lonely on a boat full of adults who want to spoil it", Ace said with a grin. His brother got over the shock faster than the others. He studied his big brother. The older one looked happy for the babies.
"Don't even think about spoiling them rotten, yoi!", Marco warned. "We all know, you are going to spoil them, Marco, if they get Luffy's eyes and Oyaji will spoil them, too", Thatch piped up. Luffy laughed and kissed his lover when Marco opened the mouth to say something.
He didn't notice how Tess shooed the others away so that he and the blonde were alone on the deck because the Phoenix had deepened the kiss a bit.
When their lips separate from each other, Luffy had fully turned around and had his legs left and right from Marco's waist. Their foreheads touched now.
"You know that having twins mean more work than we already thought of, yoi", Marco said softly. "Don't care. That means they would never be alone like Ace or I was before we became brothers", Luffy mumbled. A sigh left Marco's lips. It worried Luffy. "One child would be okay on the Moby Dick or the Thousand Sunny, but can we really take care of two babies at the same time, yoi?" "We can. We have friends and family. Stop worrying, Marco. I told you years ago that I want to live without regrets. I never regret one thing in my life. Especially not the things connected with you. These babies are ours. I don't want to give them away", Luffy said and pouted.
He kept the eye-contact until the other closed his eyes. "I feel like this is going to be a pointless discussion as you are too stubborn to quit, yoi." A grin ghosted over his face. "Why did I decided again that it was a good idea to go out with, yoi?" "Meanie!" Luffy heard Marco chuckle before their lips were connected again in a soft but loving kiss.
Whitebeard looked up at the night sky while he nipped at his sake. The first cup he drank in a week or so. He wasn't sure. But his daughters and sons couldn't be mad, he had done everything they wanted with this stupid medicine and so on. Just for his grandchild, pardon, grandchildren as he now knew.
A word that made him smile. His family was expanding. Two little brats would join it and the best was he get to see them grow up. It also filled him with some pride that one of his sons would start a little family on his own.
He closed his eyes and listen to the silence before he focused slightly to be able to check on his brats.
Thatch and Izo were in different rooms again. So his cross-dressing son was making more clothes for the little ones now. Poor Thatch was getting a little less attention than he probably liked. But Whitebeard had seen it in the eyes of his fourth division commander that the man was very excited to become an uncle finally, so he was probably okay with it as long as it was for the little ones.
Ace seemed to walk around. A behaviour normally usual for Marco. Looked like the proud big brother of the pirate king took over more work from the first division commander as it seemed at first.
He then concentrated on Marco and Luffy. Their presences were in Marco's room. It seemed that Luffy was very close to the blonde as their presences nearly became one if Whitebeard didn't know his son's well enough. So maybe, they were already in bed and the younger one had cuddled up to the older one.
He lifted his sake cup in a silent toast to these two for becoming parents but stopped when he noticed a new presence.
A presence that suddenly just appeared on the deck. He opened his eyes and looked at a cloaked figure.
His first instinct was to grab his bisento. But then the person took careful steps towards him and showed his face.
He should have expected this person one day, but at the same time, it was the last person he expected to just appear.
Monkey D Dragon. Luffy's father. One of the most wanted man in the world for his plans to overthrow the World Government.
"Good evening, Whitebeard. I'm sorry for not calling ahead that I would visit. But I thought this way it would be safer", Dragon apologized, before he presented a box. "It's for the child. Well, Luffy's child. Also, I'm here to give you a message from Ivankov. He will come when the childbirth is near and that you should in contact with Trafalgar Law because his devil fruit could come in handy."
The most wanted man in the world put the box down and nodded at him again before he turned to leave again.
"Not going to say hello to your son?", Whitebeard asked and studied the man's back. "Not now. Maybe someday I'll stay a bit to see him and the child. But not now, he will need his sleep and it's safer when my visit here stays short", Dragon said and pulled his hood over his head.
"Children. They are having twins", Whitebeard corrected and he could hear a chuckled from the hooded figure. "Well, I think I'm not going to tell Sabo so you can surprise him the next time he visits which will probably in three days."
Then he just vanished like he hadn't been there before.
Whitebeard just shook his head. He wasn't able to figure Dragon out. The man was more secret about his thoughts than Garp and Luffy.
His yellow eyes were then fixed on the box, the man had brought along. Whitebeard carefully lifted it up and opened it.
Just to be sure it was something safe. Not that he thought that Dragon would do something to Luffy. But at the moment, they couldn't be careful enough.
Inside the box was mobile with the sun, the moon and lots of stars.
A smile ghosted over his lips. Now that's something no one of the crew had thought of, yet.
