Why does Uncle Izo wear Make-up?

Request from Roxie14: This is just an idea I thought for a while can you do one where umiko is scared of izo because of his make-up but she eventually gets over it

Umiko was always brave when scary things faced her but she didn't like this at all she didn't like uncle Izo wearing his make up. It was good make-up just as elegant as mummas make up was but it didn't look right.

"Umi sweet heart," Her mothers voice sounded next to her as they sat in the small café silver eyes locked with wider silver eyes, "What's wrong?"

"I don't like it," She whispered softly under her breath.

"Don't like what sweetie?" Her uncle asked her.

"The make up," She whimpered softly under her breath.

"What make up hun?" Her mother asked.

Umiko didn't say anything but down casted her eyes and pointed over at her uncle Izo, "It's weird mummy."

Megumi smiled brightly down at her daughter gently moving her into her lap and wrapping her arms around her daughter before nuzzling her cheek, "Why is it weird sweet heart?"

"Uncle Izo is the only boy I have seen who wears make up," Umiko stated.

"Do you think there is a reason why he wears the make up?" Her mother asked.

"Is their Uncle Izo?" Umiko asked without looking at her uncle.

Izo smiled at his niece the curious stage of childhood was filling her mind with all sort of questions, just like Megumi when she first joined the Whitebeard Pirates. Eyes so bright and full of wonder of the amazing things this world had to offer them. "Why do you wear your favourite dress Umiko?" Izo asked.

"Errr…." Umiko bit her lip and looked up before a large grin spread across her face, "Because it makes me feel comfortable and pretty."

"Why does your mother always keep her back hidden?" He asked.

"Because Mummy doesn't like people seeing the skin on her back…?" Umiko wasn't to sure about this but she had seen the bright pink skin on her mothers back, from were she saved Uncle Luffy.

"Yes that is right sweety," Her mother kissed her cheek.

Izo pulled out a wet wipe from his back and gently wiped some the make up off his cheek, "Umi look sweet heart."

Umiko's eyes widened as she saw the same bright pink skin that was on her mothers back was on her uncles cheek, "What happened?" She questioned.

Izo reached his hand out to his niece and smiled softly, "Not all parents are like mummy, daddy and papa."

"Oh…" Umiko whispered, "I am sorry Uncle Izo."

Izo smiled softly at his niece leaning in slightly and kissing her temple brushing the blonde locks out of her face, "It is alright sweetheart. How about I do your make up when we get back to the ship."

Her eyes widened and sparkled brightly, "Make me pretty like Mummy?" She asked.

"You are just as pretty as your mum, no need for any make up at all my dear," Izo smiled.

Megumi smiled softly at her daughter and best friend, knowing that they will always share a special bound secrets always help bound people.

AN: Izo loves the children so much.
