Third Person POV

It had been two weeks since King began training Crow, and it was safe to say that it was incredibly intense for the younger Lunarian.

Thanks to their race's physiology, the teen could deal with physical punishment that would outright kill most people and train extensively for incredibly long periods without rest, food, or water.

So far, he has been shot to oblivion by high-caliber weapons, taken non and Haki-coated strikes from King, lifted objects so heavy that he was nearly crushed under the weight, and been stabbed and slashed in numerous areas when training with swords with King.

However, today was a rest day for the teen, so taking advantage of his day off, he went to grab a drink on the fourth floor. When he entered the establishment, everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the teen.

Some looked at him with curiosity, some with awe, some with lust, and some with outright hostility. However, he ignored the looks he was receiving and sat at the bar.

"You look like shit," Who's Who said bluntly.

"Really? What gave that away?" he sarcastically asked with a roll of his eyes.

The Sabercat fruit user snorted. "Smartass. So what can I get you?"

"Something alcoholic but sweet."

"One Pina Colada coming right up," he quickly made the drink and slid it toward the teen.

"Thanks, and keep them coming," Crow handed the man a generous amount of Berries.

He grinned. "You got it."

The teen took a sip of the drink and sighed with satisfaction. "Thats some good shit."

"Hey, Crow!" he turns to see Ulti and Page One sitting on his left side.

"Hey," Crow greeted with a small smile before returning to his drink.

So far, Ulti, Page, and Saski are the only people he likes within the Beast Pirates besides King; everyone else was on his shit list, especially Queen.

"Day off?" Until asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Cause I was gonna ask if you wanted to hang out with me and Pay-Pay," she chirped.

Her brother groaned. "I said to stop calling me that!"

"So, what do you say?!" she asked again, ignoring her sibling's plea.

Crow thought for a moment and shrugged. "Sure, why not?" he needed to make allies, and Ulti seemed like a perfect candidate.

Plus, he wasn't ignorant of her little crush on him, which he could use to gain her complete loyalty because, realistically, if one had to choose between their boss and loved ones, nine times out of ten, they would choose the latter. And Crow knew she was heavily family-oriented if her babying her brother was an indication of anything.

"YAY!!" she cheered and started to drag both males out of the establishment, much to their dismay.

"My drink!" Crow yelled in horror.

"QUIT YOUR WHINING!! WE CAN MAKE YOU ANOTHER ONE AT OUR PLACE!!" Ulti shrieked.

Crow sighed.

It was going to be a long day.

(Timeskip)

"There you go!" Ulti handed Crow another drink.

"Thanks," he took a sip of it. "Huh, this is better than Who's Who's. It looks like I'll have to get my drinks from you from now on," he joked, making the girl beam with joy.

"I wouldn't mind that~"

Wanting to stop the flirting before it's too late, Page chimed in. "Hey Crow, how's the training with King been going?"

Crow groaned. "Painful but incredibly beneficial. I'm three times stronger than I used to be," he said proudly.

"Really?" Ulti asked, and Crow nodded. An idea came to her mind. "Hey Crow, wanna arm wrestle me?"

He looked at her with a quirked eyebrow and then shrugged. "Sure, I'm down."

Ulti grinned. "Yay!" she then sat on the other side of the table. Both of them rested their elbows on the table and locked hands. "Ready to lose, pretty boy?"

Crow scoffed and smirked. "In your dreams. Ready?"

"Yeah."

"Then one, two, three!"

They then started to try and force each other's hands down. After a few moments, Crow slowly but surely brought her hand down, winning in the contest of strength.

"Fuck!!" Ulti yelled. Page snickered at his sister's loss, which earned him her ire, and she glared daggers at him. "DON'T FUCKING LAUGH AT ME!!"

"I wasn't calm down!"

"YES, YOU DID!" she tackled and began to throttle her younger brother, much to the Lunarian's amusement. "AND DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!"

(Timeskip)

"Well, I'm gonna head out."

"Aw, are you sure you can't stay a little longer?" Ulti whined and looked at Crow with puppy dog eyes.

Crow chuckled. "Yeah, I'm tired as shit and don't want Uta worrying about me more than she already does."

Ulti pouted and crossed her arms. "Fine...see you later."

"Aw, don't be sad now. You're too cute for that," Crow said with a smile, making Ulti's cheeks turn Pink.

"Y-You think I'm cute?" she asked shyly.

"Well, duh," he chuckled. "Anyways, if you wanna hang out, just come over to our place after two, and I'll be down to do anything."

She perked up. "Really?!"

"Yeah."

"YAY!!" She kissed his cheek with her mask still on. "See you tomorrow!"

Crow placed his hand on the spot she kissed and smiled. "Yeah, see ya."

End.
