The will of a D & Poseidon's blood

by tysonhousemovers

What if the Greek society never fell. This is a one piece world where Greek gods found a way to travel across worlds Influencing One Piece. Other than powers and gods, no demigods are crossing not quite Percy Jackson world. Luffy harem. NOT PG. except violence, blood, and lemons.

8. Are you sure you are ready for this?

Arthur notes:

I didn't get many comments so I will be brief. Other than people saying they like my story. Witch I appreciate a lot thanks for that. You're enjoyment is why I post. Hope you enjoy how people work together in this one.

I wish to discuss how I view haki in my story's.On conkerers haki it said in description it can imposes ones will on another. I took it at that as extreme intimidation along with making someone pass out.

Also in observation Luffy saw Mihawk cut his arms off because Mihawk thought it. Koby heard every person on the base during the battle to save Ace when he broke. Asia the little girl from skipea herd people's (voice in her head) only having it quit when they were unconscious.

In my story's I take haki as like a psychic power listening to others if trained and strong enough one is able to read thoughts. Maybe that is taking the concept a little to far but in the Anima at times the way in skypia the enemy knows exactly what move was about to happen, and everything involved, also the being able to call out the plan of action every time the opponent thought of one. In addition Asia, and Kody later talking about voices. Also it would explain how Doflamingo was so powerful and manipulative.

Very few will develop to that level. And it is not on always. Only the main people unfortunately flamingo is one. I did add ways to block it after all Luffy hits Enel because of not thinking about it. Also Rayleigh on his 100 attempt to hit Luffy in the flashback said something about not sending out a signal of his intention so I figured it can be blocked or suppressed. Plus it needs a counter if anyone can have it. If some people don't like or agree then I am sorry to offend you but I think it fits.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or any of it's characters.

This is not a PG world except blood, gore, and lemons.

Action

We wake up around 5 am long before sunrise to go to the beach for around 6:50 am sunrise. As everyone is eating breakfast Kaya has a rifle on her back and the twin revolvers on her belt. Her dress is gone, replaced by blue jean shorts, and dark green flannel shirt hair in a tight braid. A belt over one shoulder has actual bullet shells on it for the rifle. Usopp is beside her eating breakfast in his full gear. Helena is cooking while Kevin is serving. The three Usopp pirates eating with us refusing to go home scared. Nami is talking with Kuina about what clothes she might get now that she doesn't have to steal to keep Arlong from destroying the townspeople and hide what she has from him.

Bachina addressed me asking. "You sure you and your crew can stop them?" I smiled as I answered. "Kuro is in town and thinking he is out of my range getting ready to leave. His men I am not sure. I will fly up high to scout after breakfast right now I assume out at sea. A group like that can't hide in town. Also while there executive officers might be able to hide they can't be in town and keep discipline on the crew so they will be their Also." Helenaspoke immediately. "How can you be sure of that?" I smiled as I answered. "If Kuro needs two ships to carry all of them to town he is like a lot of pirates that value quantity over quality. I am sure we could destroy them with half our numbers."

Bachina still looks worried as she asks another question. "Are you sure you can keep Kaya and Usopp safe?" I looked at the pair, noticing Kuina seemed to be paying attention as I answer. "Nothing is a guarantee in this world, however I can heal, and you said Kaya was great at stabilizing people. I could ask Nami to help protect her exclusively but I believe Nami wants to get into the battle after Kuro insulted her." Bachina huffed as she asked in an annoyed tone. "And my son? " I sigh as I answer. "From what little I have seen Usopp will be big I am sure of that." Bachinagave a sigh then said. "I just worry."

Clearing my throat I get everyone's attention. "All right. Usopp led Kaya, Nami, Zoro, and Kuina through the city towards the coast. I will fly up high and find out the real destination and meet everyone on the other side of town." As we walked onto the front yard I changed into my half form jumping into the air changing into an all black outfit forgoing the armor.

[ Nobody's POV ]

Kaya asked. "Do you ever get used to it?" Nami answered very quickly. "After a week or two it gets easier to accept, but no you don't or at least I haven't. Though skydiving is rather fun I think I can get used to that on a regular basis." Kaya asked very confused. "Skydiving?" Zoro spoke immediately. "Nope, nada, no, never, not happening, not me." Kuina laughed then answered. "Apparently while on the grand line some people went flying with Luffy deciding to fall from great heights by themselves near the ground Luffy catches them."

Usopp got a brave pose and with a shaky voice proclaimed. "I-i will try it." Kaya grabbed his nose and dragged him along making herself known. "Not if I have something to say about it." Making everyone laugh.

[ In the sky ]

[ Luffy's POV ]

As I was flying I noticed Kuro with haki in the forest near the path up the cliff we came ashore at. My eyes showed two ships getting closer to reaching the shore below the cliff, it appears like we have enough time by my calculations. If they don't just start outright, but if they do that they won't cause as much panic because slower filtering in so they probably will wait going at once. Making sure Kuro doesn't see me I dive bombed the forest pulling out after the treeline weaving frantically to avoid the trees as I changed right before landing in a running sprint before I stop in front of my group at the edge of town. I am wearing my belt visible, my sword in its scabbard, blue jeans, black pirate boots, and a nice white button up shirt.

Nami laughed as she asked. "I assume they didn't see you. What am I talking about with the son not even warming the sky and as fast as you fell. Hell I could hardly follow that power dive and I knew what to look for. So where is everyone?" I smiled as I answer. " Kuro is in the woods just off the path above our boat, and two ships are beaching near the path we came up. I would say maby 35 to 45 minutes before they charge up the path."

Kuina spoke next. "What are your orders captain?" I start walking towards the cliff as I answer. "Kuina, Zoro can you two jump down the cliff without being hurt?" Kuina smiled while Zoro laughed while answering. "No problem, we have cleared farther drops." "Good when they get a quarter of the way up, drop down and divide their forces. Nami, Kaya, and Usopp will hold the path up the cliff. I will keep an eye on Kuro and only if necessary add support. This is your time to show what all of you can do." I said while walking into the forest.

Kaya asked in a worried voice. "Not that I mean to speak ill of Nami, but can the three of us stop them on the hill?" Nami was the first to counter. "After what Luffy helped me with last night from my father. Plus the two of you helping with ranged weapons I believe we can hold. I would like more time to grow stronger, but Luffy showed me how to conserve energy on creating a wind blade through skill so even though I am weak in demigod power I can still create a lot of them now." Kaya seems to relax at that.

As we eventually got to the slope as the sun almost came up I noticed Kuro watching us from the woods. I would not have seen him if I was normal. However with haki, and my ears, and smell definitely smell I easily can, ok who am I kidding I definitely would have seen him. Whatever hair products he uses to keep it slick back really stands out. Looking down the last group are leaving the ships getting a pep talk from their acting captain as I called out. "Are you sissies going to wait all morning? I have a lunch date to plan. Maybe a picnic, what do you think Nami?" Nami just laughed at me staff at her side.

As they yelled starting up the slope Zoro asked. "What of our voyeur captain?" I comment back. "I have had prettier in my past but I will keep an eye on him. Continue on as planned." Zoro and Kuina nodded as Kuina approached the edge, Zoro gesturing with his arm and a slight bow. "Ladies first." As Kuina jumped over and down to the beach shocking pirates she taunted. "Try to keep up this time, slow poke!" "Hey!" Zoro exclaimed as he followed her.

As I watched from where they jumped in a clear view of the slope and the place beside the slope where the hunters landed. Nami walked 20 ft from the top while Usopp and Kaya took up positions 13 feet back spaced evenly on either side so that they could easily shoot around her. Feeling Kuro smile I turned my torso around and called out not loud enough to be heard at the bottom. "Want to come out and watch?"

When nothing happens I draw Inazuma and fire a shot 7 ft to the right of Kuro hitting a tree behind him. As he smiled, cracking was heard. When he looked back a branch I nicked started falling, hinging on the spot about to land directly on top of him from behind. When he jumped out of the way he ended up landing in the clearing he couldn't quite be seen from his men yet. As he straightened his glasses with his palm gloves on he walked to the other side of the ramp answering me. "I will watch, apparently there's more to you than I expected. However what I said still stands you are nothing compared to me."

With Nami wanting to kill him I tell Kuro. "The moment you stop being a voyeur I will attack you." "With that pistol?" He asked as I answer. "No I have a more appropriate weapon for our combat." As he looked at my sword hilt he smiled. The other pirates running up the hill stopped calling out. (Kuro.) (It's Kuro.) What is he doing here?) (Why is he with them?) Kuro answered them promptly. "I wanted to see which pirates shall be manning my new ship. The best fighters get on board. And if you disappoint me I will finish you myself after I take care of… Half of them."

As I see Kuro glaring at Nami she started to twirl her staff around her body. Under arms, behind back, from left shoulder to right hip, and just spinning around like a pinwheel. As the men charged again getting closer Nami brought the staff around her back with her left hand grabbing a half foot off the 4 ft staff with her right hand. Continuing the movement in a wide ark around front she created a giant wind blade taking up the whole path. As pirates were all trying to get up first they had the whole path full.

Cutting through the first line cleanly the bodies fell in two pieces at the waist. The second were just barely better, most had fatal wounds, some only lost limbs. The others were stopped in shock 25 feet away with over 28 dead or wounded. Then more fell as Usopp shot lead pellets mixed with exploding pellets at more pirates shooting around a slower still twirling and smiling Nami. Kaya also shot not at the front but at the rear pirates near the ship head shots or shoulder joint chipping bones keeping them pend down. If that wasn't enough Nami sped up her twirling all around sending numerous small one person blades at the front of the crowd as they advanced over the dead bodies. As more advanced more were cut down making it difficult to continue the slope now having an optical course of bodies.

After another minute of the enemy not making much advancement through Usopp's sniping and Nami's blades they finally retreated. Kaya stopped sniping and turned to Kuro, addressing him. "Didn't know about Usopp training me in private, or his pellets being affective did you?" Kuro looks about ready to explode before smiling seeing Jango addressing his troops.

[ earlier down below. ]

I noticed with Zoro and Kuina right after jumping down they were fanning out not doing rock, paper, and scissors. When they attacked I could hear Kuina taunting the men. "Awww scared of a girl? Well you should be none of you could handle me with or without your swords!" The men went ballistic over that, getting very careless. Her cuts went deep, hitting vital organs or arteries. Anyone close enough regretted it immediately, they tried ganging up but she was weaving through them like a ballerina of death. Her fighting style is very similar to what Mihawk wants me to adopt. Though I did notice her shirt buttons open at the top showing cleavage no bra. She must have decided if they are stupid enough to get distracted they deserve to die anyway.

Zoro was also impressive. Personally, I can't imagine fighting with three swords and keeping them in sync. He made it work somehow, if anyone got within reach without blocking they were mincemeat. And if they did block they would have to continue blocking constantly at alarming speed otherwise Zoro will get through their defensive stance ending them. One time he stopped using the move he performed on me barreling through them, sending them flying in a tumble in all directions, most dead or stunned as he attacked the pirates that were still functioning. With close to 50 pirates dead or with tourniquets on an arm or leg, realization on how outmatched they are set in as they retreated.

I hear Kuro speak up right after the men reach Jango and Kaya's comment to him. "What is the meaning of this Jango? Can't you defeat 6 lowly pirates? If you Don't crush them in the next three minutes I will kill everyone myself and get an entire new crew!" Jango yelled to the ship as two people dressed like cats rushed out. He was swinging his chakram like a pendulum. I closed my eyes.

Feeling Kuro building more tension reading to strike, I reminded him. "I told you before the moment you take any official action I do also." Sending a concentrated single blast of haki I feel him get nervous then relax his attack posture. Also feeling the murderous intent increases greatly from the black cat pirates I open my eyes.

The two new pirates lead the attack on Zoro and Kuina. More than half however charged the slope, Kaya and Usopp hit them but the pirates ignored the damage. Blood leaks out holes and after exploding pellets hit rocks in their path causing shrapnel to hit them it even looks like bones are sticking through in a few places. However just like the holes they ignore the pain or loss of blood.

Nami goes into a wild twirling fit launching devastating blades. Seeing that light hits do nothing she sends more powerful blades cutting arms or legs off if not totally shredding them leaving them useless. Usopp started using foam or oil pellets at peoples feet to slow them down. Watching Nami getting tired I see her brace herself spinning her staff like she did with me but more sure footing. The gail she created while spinning was stronger than with me pushing all of them back 30 ft or more some over the side. Which was close because they got within 7 ft of Nami.

Watching them get up slowly Nami resting on her staff breathing hard Usopp spoke quickly. "Can you do that again? I have an idea." Nami answered. "Sure one more but I am getting very tired." Usopp moved behind her pulling a pouch out of his bag that resembled one on his belt. Detaching the matching one on his waist one pouch in each hand he spoke up. "Ready. Make sure what I throw goes around you without you hitting them or getting you hit." As the wind started Usopp opened both pouches hurling the contents into the air with the action countless pellets flew by Nami. With them flying down the slope many pirates guarded themselves with their arms.

Nothing happens when they hit all over the pirates on the slope and ground just getting wet as Nami stops breathing even harder. As they first were snickering then everyone busted out laughing getting ready to charge Usopp pulled three pellets smiling back. Letting them fly they hit three different people, fire erupted around them but that wasn't the biggest shock. The fire flew through the crowd, over the ground, up legs, if someone on fire got close to another person most often they erupted in flame. With screaming heard from everyone more than half on fire still spreading non stop some jumped over the edge just to be set on fire at the bottom as some on fire panicking ran over the edge igniting then when they landed on the fleeing pirates. "Let me gess oil pellets right?" Kaya asked as Nami looked on, surprised at what she was witnessing Usopp answered. "Never underestimate the power of oil."

The pirates immobile by the foam could do nothing but look on in horror as the fire races towards them. Now the entire slope on fire with over 80 more pirates dead or severely burned barely crawling back unable to come up because of the flames. They could only wait until the oil burned away. Kuro actually looked furious by this point straightening his glasses with his palm again.

[Earlier with Kuina and Zoro ]

The pirates charged again on Kuina, a thin man dressed as a cat in front. He jumped over striking out at her head as he twisted overhead, pointing down arm outstretched. Kuina, leaning avoiding the blow while striking out at his group, wouldn't do well to let them grapple her. Landing fatal hits on two the third countered but she added a lunge for the throat before he could recover.

Kuina decided to go into her zen state because of noticing them ignoring the pain already inflicted and not wanting to be crowded with restricted movements. The previous wounds are now bleeding with the pirates not adding pressure to stop the bleeding. Once in she decides to not hold back becoming a deliver of death. Apparently whatever hypnotic trance they were under could be overcome by enough pain, because after the initial loss of limbs they started yelling. Well except the headless ones.

It was fun watching her slice off both the hands of the cat dressing pirate. Anyone wearing a tail to imitate a Minkdeserves to have it happen, well maybe it might look cute on Nami. Ok any men doing it as a joke deserves that. Plus watching Kuina kick him hard enough in the balls afterwards to pick his feet a foot off the ground was icing on the cake.

With Zoro not wanting to be outdone he went immediately into Anigerry cutting through the big cat guys defense. Before the cat's ear, tail, and costume pirate could recover still in the air, Zoro did anigerry again, ending him. Zoro kept slicing and dicing, wearing them down until someone cut Kuina's shirt near her stomach. Zoro unleashed a tornado then at his remaining swordsmen actuality lifting some into the air.

Kuina looked a little put out that some of her kills were stolen by Zoro as he approached her looking at her shirt before she gave a shrug then commented. "It was time for new clothes anyway all well." Zoro shook his head before commenting. "I actually liked it on you especially after you took Luffy's comments to heart." Kuina looked briefly at her chest before she looked back up. Kuina put her left hand on her hip, stuck her chest out more and answered. "Well maybe I should get more revealing clothes to wear around you when we aren't fighting. Now that I actually have your attention that is. I wonder if Nami can help me with finding some to show off for you." Zoro actually stuttered at that. "W-w-what."

With everyone laying in a heap, on fire, or dead Kuro screamed. "Worthless! The lot of you! I will have to get an entirely new crew now, lazy and incompetent. All of you are beneath me! Even you Jango are not fit to work under me any more!" As Kuro tapped his feet swaying his arms I watched feeling the intent directed at Jango. When he disappeared I drew Inazumaand shot near Jango. At the sound of clanging metal Jango looks up to see Kuro standing over him, arm drawn back ready to strike him down. Then there is a sound of something clattering on the deck. Everyone noticed Kuro's pinky claw missing from his glove now on the deck.

Gun smoking still out. I addressed Kuro as he turned to me angry faced. "Don't blame him for your failure to predict the outcome. You are missing so much valuable information their is no other possible end result." Slowly putting away my gun I continue. "I may not care personally if they live or die, however to be killed by your captain because of His incompetence is not acceptable to me. Besides the fact you have threatened taking my future mate, this act alone has signed the most painful death I can conceive." The rumble in my voice making everyone but Kuro on edge.

Watching him smile and sway I grew my claws out 3 inches transforming just my hands watching them get bigger like gloves, my pinkies and ring fingers merging into one having 3 fingers and a thumb each hand. Feeling him going after Nami I jumped near her and blocked claw for claw saying to her. While Koro is still basically invisible. "Dance with me Nami. " I tell her in a calm voice while I hear. (So you have a set of claw gauntlet also.)

As Nami smiled completely confident in my ability I was pivoting her like a dance. away from the edge and the eyes below. With the constant sound of metal meeting claws we danced on, spinning, twirling, and a dip. Seeing us over the top of the cliff away from the edge and Zoro and Kuina joining us up there I overextended giving him an opportunity. Seeing my neck exposed he lunged as I spun Nami out of harm's way.

Pulling my fingers in interlocking the tips close to my palm I blocked his right hand lunge locking his tips with mine through strength alone. Right hand caught, he lunged for my stomach left underhanded, catching it the same way. Altering the mist I put on my mask while dropping it on my armor.

His face goes from shock to horror seeing Redhair Shanks prodigy that takes out a fleet of ships alone on the new world here in the East Blue. Then he glanced at Nami Glaring at him. Before he can speak I thrust my left hand open forcing him to do the same. Recovering first I stabbed my claws into each finger tip to bone, pulling inward raking the bones all the way to his palm I ended up shredding the entire palm muscle, tendons, and nerves. At the same time I coat my right hand in haki, grabbing just the blades of his other hand snapping them like twigs. Before the pain reaches his brain I move back kicking his knee bending it opposite how it is supposed to work.

Falling to the ground on his stump then his but clutching his hand all the events came together as he let out a primal howl. When he finally recovered he looked on in horror at us as I knelt in front of him. Speaking in a Shaky voice, Kuro talked. "Y-you you're not supposed to..to be in the East Blue." I answer back. "Just starting a career of my own where I originally began like my brothers from scratch. The new world was just training. Now about you trying to claim the head of my pride and future mate before me without her consent."

Kuro gulped as he looked at Nami with a pale face as I told my crew. "Everyone, especially Nami, and Kaya pay close attention to this. It will affect you more." Pulling out a piece of ambrosia I continue. "This is the food of the gods. Only a God or demigod can eat it. It heals and will replenish your energy, but eat too much or be a mortal this will happen."

Kuro clamped his mouth shut as I used haki I said. "Open." He shook his head no as I impose my will over him. I repeat myself. "Open." He opened his mouth trying to fight it scared to death as I placed it inside I command. "Swallow." As he swallowed it took a few seconds before he let out a more primal scream than before. As the scream continued for close to thirty seconds he started to smoke then he stopped yelling bursting into flames. As everyone backs up he continued until a pile of ash was all that remained. Nami walked up then twirled her staff blowing the ash into the forest leaving just a burnt patch of ground.

I turn to Kaya addressing her. "I will give you some ambrosia for emergencies in case Nami and I are incompasitated for only demigods. But be careful you see what accidentally giving it to a mortal can cause." Kaya nodded with a stern face. Walking over to the edge changing back my clothes I look over at the scared pirates addressing them. "Kuro is dead. You have two choices take that ship." Pointing to the one with the least treasures on board that I can smell. "Leave and never return. If I ever hear you come back to this island I will hunt you down myself. This is your only warning you heard Kuro. Want what he got?"

Jango and the rest grabbed the wounded, boarded the ship and left. I tell the rest. "Nami cleaned the ship out. Kaya helped find medical supplies and valuables. The rest of us will gather the bodies, placing them on the deck. We need to clean up." Everyone got busy, no complaints. After all the parts were loaded and Nami with Kaya's help had everything of value in her pouch. I pushed the ship out to sea. Telling everyone to go to the top I commanded the water to rise up, washing the blood away as it sank back into the sea.

Breathing hard, Nami came up, placing a hand on my shoulder. Looking at her with a sad face I tell her before I walk to the water. "I wish this world was not so dark, and there was no need for that but it is what it is. I wish to sink the ship giving them a proper burial and hide the remains. I will come back to the mansion later for lunch if you will still have us Kaya? Also do you still want to join knowing what to expect from joining me now? " Kaya spoke immediately. "I am more than willing to have all of you as my guest. And yes I still want to join your crew. The lives you saved not only in this town but all the rest Kuro would have taken in the future by far outweigh the dead hear today." With Usopp behind her nodding, I look at Kuina and Zoro who also nodded. Nami grabbed my arm asking. "Can I come with you for the swim and company? After all I am in your pride for life remember?"

Kissing her I nodded telling everyone. "We will be back for lunch. Let our friends know the danger has passed." Taking Nami's hand we go to the water.

Swimming to the boat I control and guide it over the trench. Nami was quiet until we get there. Piercing three entry and exit points through the hull we watched as it fills with water Nami spoke. 'Is that why you try give people a chance? Because you are hoping they will change?' I look at her as I answer. 'Nami if we had not rescued Koby he would have eventually became a pirate. I don't like killing people. Ending a life should never be the first choice to end a conflict,but sometimes they don't give you a choice. Mostly the Marines help people and save large scale lives. However some join just for the power to command people. Also there leaders promote slavery, drugs, illegal experts, weapons, and kill entire islands to keep secrets hidden. I don't want to kill Because of who someone is or because someone pointed me at someone they say is evil . I only want to kill a person Because they are evil at their heart.'

As the ship gets lower Nami spoke. "When I told you Fishmen left Arlong. One stayed I would not expect, a swordsman with a kind heart. Once when Arlong was away and he was bringing me food I asked why he stayed. He still did cruel things but not to my family but I could tell he hated it. He told me he couldn't say it was a promise he made, but he could tell me one thing he prayed one day he could tell me why he did it and hoped I could forgive him. It was one of the few and only times he opened up.' As we watched the ship sink, Nami continued. 'That happened a few months after you saved Otohime. I don't hate all Fishmen, However we can't run away or ignore the evil otherwise it will grow. I saw that with how Arlong took over.'

I look at Nami as I answer. 'I agree. But not always do people agree with us. The first time I met Kaya a year ago I doubt she would want to come with me to sea or actually her firing a gun on another person. Sure she was strong, but it was a stern iron will still non aggression. I suppose she could grow up or maybe she opened her eyes to the world.'

Nami scoffed at that, shaking her head commenting back. 'Possibly some of it. Or you are looking to deap captain. She loves Usopp and I believe would hate to lose him either to death, the adventure, or another woman. Also I believe you saving her parents helped to prove where your heart is and the good you do.'

I shake my head and chuckle before I ask. 'It is still early for lunch, want to fly for a while?' As Nami smiled, answering 'yes.' I changed into my full form with her getting on. We blast out of the water taking to the sky.

Later we landed on Kaya's estate. We are greeted at the door by the Usopp pirates running out tackling us. As they hug me Nami is laughing they say in unison. "Thank you for saving us from Kuro pirates captain!"

I glared at Usopp and Kaya at the door snickering as I asked. "What gave you the idea it was me?" One of them spoke immediately. "Usopp, and Kaya said you got rid of Kuro. Plus he called you captain so you must be in charge." I glared at Kaya speaking up. "You know I don't want to be a hero. I mainly did it because of Nami and I don't like strong people picking on the weak." The three pull us inside talking together. "Yes captain, whatever you say. Tell us some stories./ Show us a trick. / tell us what happened. PLEASE. They have food for you and Nami with lots of meat. " I glared at Kaya, Usopp, and Nami laughing as I was pulled inside telling them. "I will get you for this someday."

[ Time skip around 4 pm ]

[ Luffy's POV ]

I hate to admit it but having the kids, Kevin, Helena, and Bachina with uswas a good change for lunch. I forget how nice and unspoiled kids can be. We talked a lot about some of my less bloody adventures. I even told them a few general things about Neptune and Shanks. They ate it up like candy. More than once I saw Nami, Kuina, and Bachinasmiling at me, one with a dreamy look, the other two pride or maybe respect?

Eventually they left and Kaya went with Marry to prepare for tomorrow and I assumed making sure the mansion would be OK with her absence. Leaving just Nami, Kuina, Usopp, and Zoro with me at present Kuina spoke first. "So we are heading to the Baratie next. For the chef or the girl?" I heard a snickering tone in the voice as I was choking on my drink. Nami was glaring at me waiting for my answer as I cleared my throat. "I never have tried to lead people on, it just happens. Honest. I promised if they wanted to come to the grand line I would take them. As far as her being in my pride, that will be up to Nami and Nojiko." As I say that Nami seems to calm down a little and look smug. I can't help but think I will have to help convince her to be more relaxed by letting some people in. After all I have waited for Nami but I have ladies. I know that if I meet again I definitely want in the pride and I already care for them emotionally and told them that they would have to wait for Nami or Nojiko. Some I am sure are looking for me on the grand line having Shanks tell everyone on his crew I must start alone. Many Minks joined his crew just because I was there even if not all were wanting to be my mate.

Looking at Nami I decided that I would have to get her to open up to allowing people that I feel are worthy or people that I already have feelings for a chance to enter. Yes Nami deserves to be in charge and I except that, however there are two other ladies I already know of three lf what Helena said about Lanju is correct that deserve a chance to enter. Noticing my stern face looking at her Nami seems nervous as I then smiled back. This shall be a very interesting night.

Zoro spoke, breaking the tension oblivious to the issue. "Think we could get some sparring in before supper?" While I was looking at Zoro, Kuina shook her head as I answer. "Sure. No problem."
