Crazy trouble with love part 10

Female Beast Pirates and Chopper part 2

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Chopper was not sure how he'd gotten to this point. Sure, he'd thought playing along and pretending to be a Beast pirate might be a good idea. Sure, he might have the chance to learn secret intel that he could give to Luffy, but ever since he'd arrived on Onigashima everything had gone wrong. He'd had the misfortune of running into problem after problem. Most of which came in the form of different women, ones that gave him the chills. To him, they all had it out for him; they wanted to fight him, trap him, one even tried to eat him! They were so weird on this island!

He panted, hiding behind a tree in his normal form as he tried to stop his racing heart due to his most recent escape from his latest tormentor's clutches and trying to not have a breakdown at his run of luck.. 'How is this going wrong so fast?!' He thought, trying his best to stay small. 'All I've done here is get into fights and get chased!'

He took a moment to look and made sure the coast was clear. Taking the chance, he began to head off the opposite way, doing his best not to look suspicious.

'I need a break, I…I need a moment just to sit down and rest, then I can find something that'll help Luffy!' he thought, coming onto a crossroads as he turned left, only to pump into someone's legs and fell on his back. 'Not again…'

"Ow, watch i- oh my kami, I'm so sorry!" He heard a voice say before he felt someone grab him and help him to his feet. "I'm so so sorry sir! I-I didn't see you there!"

Chopper blinked in confusion, unused to someone actually sounding polite or sorry on this island. "Uh… it's ok?" He said, looking at the figure he'd bumped into. It was a woman who had pink hair styled in a bun with the usual horns as the rest of the crew, wearing a black thong, high heeled boots, belts that were going across her chest that were barely covering her nipples, an overly sized cape over her back, with a sword strapped to her thigh.

"Again, I'm sorry, I didn't see you… not that your size is a bad thing!" She said, trying to correct the inadvertent jab at his height. "I was just…uh…oh kami I'm so stupid."

"No you're not, you're not the first person I bumped into." Chopper said, only to lightly flinch as he heard Kunyun's rampage. "Look, I gotta go, uh… nice meeting you?"

"Is there anything I can do for you sir? I can get you anything you need, really." she held her hands together with a pleading look in her eyes with Chopper unsure.

"Uh…well…do you know where I can get some water?"

"Yes! Right this way!" She said with a large smile, guiding him towards a large building that was thankfully away from Kunyun's direction. "What kind can I get you, normal, iced, sparkling, sea water?"

"Normal." He said, looking at her in confusion. "Uh… why are you getting me water? Not that I don't want some, I just… don't get why you want to."

"To be of use sir, it's what I'm good for." she nodded her head quickly.

"Ok." Chopper said as she led him into the building, which looked like a massive castle with what looked like food stalls lining the sides. 'This feels off… she's not acting like a Beast pirate.'

She turned and ran over to a fountain, grabbing a bottle and running back over in record time, handing him it as she panted with him taking the chance to rehydrate. "Do you…need anything else?"

"I'm good, thanks." He said as he began to drink, noticing how her face seemed to drop in disappointment before she went back to smiling, but didn't move from where she stood. He looked around as she stood there, smacking his lips before looking at her. "Did you want a sip?"

"No, I'm fine, thank you for the offer…. " She started before pausing. "I'm so sorry! I don't know your name, please forgive me!"

"I'm Tony." he replied, right before facepalming. 'Gah! I forgot! I should have used some fake name!'

"Thank you for telling me Tony-sama, I'm good for now." She said with a small bow.

'Ok, what is happening here?!' he thought. 'She's not acting like all the others I've met. It's kind of weird.' Chopper glanced at her before he began to slowly walk away, and much to his confusion she began to follow him. 'Ok, seriously, what is going on, does she know I'm a spy, that I'm not actually a Beast pirate?!'

"Do you want anything to eat?" She asked with a smile. "Do you want me to get you anything, or maybe a drink? Drugs? Anything at all?"

"No, I'm fine, really." Chopper said, starting to feel weirded out. "I… think I'm just going to find somewhere to lie down."

"You can sit or lie on me, would that work?" she got on her hands and knees. "Or would you rather use my front? My chest is extra soft and could work well for a pair of pillows."

Chopper's eyes widened as he stared at her in shock. 'Why is she doing this?! Am… am I supposed to accept?!' he thought, feeling lost and confused.

'Oh no, am I going to mess up? I need to make a good impression! If I can't do a good job for a gifter, I might end up dead!' She thought, staring at Chopper nervously. 'I have one shot, I heard that smile production has stopped, so the only fruits left are probably going to go to those close to the gifters!'

"Uh…oh! I never got your name." he quickly changed the subject.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, my name is Maya!" She said quickly. 'What am I thinking? If he doesn't know my name, he can't recommend me for a devil fruit!'

"Well, Maya, thanks again for your help, but I have to head off and…meet up with some friends!" he quickly fibbed.

"Oh, uh, I can come with you, or wait in your quarters? What's your room number?"

"It's…uh…" he looked away before shaking his head. "You don't need to do that. It's…filthy, and I need to clean it."

"No, really, in fact I can go and clean it for you!" She smiled. "Consider me to be your subordinate!"

"No really, it's fine!" he held up his hooves while sweating. "You…You should stay here, grab something to eat."

"I can eat later." She said, shaking her head.

'What am I supposed to do?! She won't leave unless it's to go to my non-existent room, what do I do?!' he thought, backing up before something clicked. "I…I order you to…"

"Yes Tony-sama?" she perked up.

"Uh…go…get me a map!" he ordered with his hoof pointed at her. "I need a map of the island so… I can play a prank on a friend!"

"Yes Tony-sama!" she saluted before rushing off.

'I can't believe that worked! Either she leaves me alone now, or I get a map, perfect!' He thought as he sighed in relief. 'Finally something is going right!' he took a long sip of water, relaxing and sitting down before sighing in relief. 'I wonder if I can find somewhere quiet to sit and rest for a few hours… damn, now I actually wish I had a room here.'

'Map map map map! If I make Tony-sama wait too long, he'll be livid!' Maya thought, rushing as she tried to figure out where to get one. 'Maybe I could get one at records? But how long will that take me?!'

She was mulling over while looking around in a rush, passing by numerous other crew members doing their own thing, biting her fingers as she didn't watch who she bumped into considering they were like her, all waiters. 'Maybe… ok, maybe I could find… damn it, why are there no maps? How am I going to make this up to Tony-sama, I need him to like me so I can finally become a gifter!'

As she looked around the wide spaced area, she noted a half folded map sticking out of a waiter's backpocket, who was casually getting drunk. 'Yes!' She thought as she moved towards them. 'Let's do this! I found a map!' she snatched it up and rushed back to Chopper, who at this point was trying not to nod off and let out a yawn as he laid down in a corner.

'Stay awake. I can't fall asleep yet.' He thought to himself as he smacked his cheeks to try and focus on the sting. 'If I fall asleep here I'll probably wake up in Kaido's room or something horrible!' He thought, trying to stay awake. Unfortunately he was exhausted, he'd been running and fighting all day.

Sadly though, his small body was against him, leading to him falling forward on the floor and started snoring on the spot. As he dozed off, he didn't notice someone spotting him, and making their way towards him.

"Oh my, what do we have here?" they questioned, crouching down to get a closer look to Chopper and rolled him on his side. "Huh, a gifter… a runt of a gifter, but one none the less." They muttered as they stared at him. "I've never seen him before, probably a rookie. Hmm, he's actually cute."

They stared at him before an idea popped into their mind. 'There is an empty room next to mine, and if he's new he hasn't been assigned any quarters yet… I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take him there, worst case scenario he owes me a favor.'

With that in mind, they scooped him into their arms and walked away, not noticing Mako as she ran back to the stands and stopped, panting and leaning on her knees.

"I…I got it Tony-sama… Tony-sama?" She panted, looking around, but not seeing Chopper anywhere. "Oh no! Did he get annoyed and leave? Damn it! I screwed up!"

(Later)

Chopper groaned as he turned over, trying to get more comfortable in his sleep when he realized that the ground underneath him wasn't the hard wood of the building he's fallen asleep in. Instead it was a warm, soft bed with a cozy blanket over his body. Chopper blinked in confusion as his eyes opened to see an opulently decorated room, with walls painted with highly detailed murals, fancy furniture, and he realized he was in some kind of apartment. "Oh no… who's room am I in?"

"Mine of course."

"AH!" he yelped, jumping up from the bed and landing back on it before turning and saw a woman sitting in a chair on the side who smiled in amusement. "H-How did I get here? Who are you?!"

"Well, that's a rude way to greet the woman who took you off the cold ground." She chuckled, shaking her was a woman of average height with pale purple, shoulder-length hair with yellow eyes, light red lipstick, and a small hot-pink flower in her hair. She wore a dark purple kimono adorned with blue floral patterns and an obi with red and dark red stripes while also wearing white tabi.

"I uh… sorry." He said, still hesitant and on his guard.

"It's fine, I suppose this could be jarring. I assure you. You're in safe hands. My name is Sarahebi, and yours is?" She asked, raising an eyebrow expectantly.

"Uh….it's….Ch…appa. Chappa!" He quickly let out, going with the closest fake name he thought of at the moment. 'At least I'm trying I guess?' He thought as Sarahebi nodded.

"I see. Well, did you have a good rest?" She asked as she began to write his name down.

"Yeah, I did." he nodded, stretching his arms out. "How long was I asleep for?"

"Nine hours." She said, making his eyes widen in surprise. "You must have been exhausted. Then again, you did pass out in a hall full of loud, partying pirates, so I suppose it's not surprising.."

"That's way too long!"

"Well, not many people can control how long they sleep, and on the upside it did give me time to fill out the paperwork." She said, making him pause in confusion.

"Paperwork?"

"Yes, since you're new, I thought I'd go ahead and fill out some forms we have for the others." She said as Chopper paled.

'Oh no, did they realize I'm not on any of the records?!'

"I will admit, it was annoying that I didn't have your name before I started, but it could be worse." She said with a shrug. "Apparently not many people do finish their paperwork on this crew, and the gifters are no exception."

"Is that so?" He asked cautiously. "And what have you put down so far?"

"Just height, weight, the paperwork for your new apartment, details on your smile devil fruit… it is a reindeer, correct?" She asked, pausing. "At first I thought tanuki, but the horns make me think otherwise."

"Yes, it's-wait, apartment?" He asked, looking at her in confusion.

"Yes, you're a gifter, which means you're given luxuries the rest of the crew isn't, and one of those luxuries is your own apartment." She said as he stared at her in amazement. "I imagine that it will be more comfortable than passing out on the ground."

"Well yeah." he nodded as she jotted something else down. 'My own apartment would make things easier in case I have to stay longer.'

"Would you like to see it? It's right next door to mine."

"Yes please." He said quickly. 'This is great, I can just stay in there until Luffy arrives, it's perfect!' He thought with a smile as she stood up and walked not to the front door, but the detailed mural and pressed one of the faces, causing the wall to swing open. "Woah!" he let out in surprise and awe.

The apartment was just as lavishly decorated as Sarahebis, and he couldn't help but look at it in awe.

"It's nice, isn't it?" She asked as Chopper walked towards it in awe. "However, I am afraid there is a small downside to all this." She said, a small smile coming to her face.

"What's that?"

"Well, I'll assume that since you haven't been put officially in the paperwork you've been partying ever since you've come to this island, haven't you? In fact when I found you there was lipstick and lo mein sticking to you." She said as Chopper froze. "That ends now unfortunately."

"Uh, right, partying…" he trailed off rubbing the back of his head while glancing away.

"Among other things I'm sure." She said as his face heated up. "But now your daily jobs will be arriving here in this room, and I'll be here to ensure that you don't just spend all day sleeping and eating in here." She added as Chopper's face paled a bit at this new bit of news.

"Daily jobs?"

"Yes, you're a gifter, you've been given the gift of a devil fruit, and you will not let it go to waste, right?" She said, her neck extending so her head was inches from his head with the last word. "You need to work to earn this room, the privileges, everything."

Chopper went white and jumped back while horns grew from her forehead and her teeth became sharp. 'Why do so many women have the same teeth?!'

"You already got your rest, so I also have your daily jobs right here~" She chuckled as Chopper groaned nervously.

"Is that really necessary right now? Can't I just uh… enjoy the room?"

"No." She remarked, her eyes never leaving his. "You will complete your jobs on time, and immediately. I have them right here, and if you delay I will have to…educate you on what happens to failures." She said, her grin growing even wider, showing more sharp teeth.

"Yes ma'am!" he let out in fear.

"Good boy." She grinned as she retracted her head, and held out a sheet of paper. "Here's your list of jobs, and if you can accomplish all these, I suppose I can congratulate you tonight for a day well spent." She chuckled as he took the paper nervously.

'She's scarier than Nami.' He thought nervously as he looked at the paper. 'And she can even get into my room without using the door!' He thought as he began to read the list. "You want me to scrub the ships clean?"

"Yes, you are still a rookie, you don't get the easy jobs right off the bat." She chuckled.

"I have to polish every single cannon, including the cannonballs?"

"Yep, a clean ship is an efficient ship, and the same goes for the cannons."

"And… you want me to polish the decks as well?" He asked as he looked at her in shock. "You want me to do all this in one day?!"

"Of course."

"I…. I don't know…" He started only to see her neck start to stretch again. "I mean…. Let's say theoretically I can't finish it all… then what happens?"

"Then you'll have to be disciplined of course." She said, the smile still on her face.

"Uh… disciplined?" He asked, getting a bad feeling. "What do you mean exactly….?"

"Well, there are a few things I could do, perhaps public humiliation, I could have some fun with you." She listed, looking at him with a massive grin. "I could even give you harder jobs as well, or even confiscate the apartment."

"I'll get started right away!" He cried out in fear as he rushed out, Sarahebi chuckling as he did so.

'Oh, this is going to be fun~' She thought, watching him leave. 'I haven't had a play thing in so long~'

(Later)

Chopper grunted as he was trying to polish the last cannonball as hard as he could right now, but it wouldn't shine like the rest. "C'mon, shine damn you, shine!" He yelled, shifting into his heavy point in an attempt to gain some leverage over the stubborn ball. He rubbed and rubbed, desperate to make it shine so he could move on. Unfortunately despite his best efforts the ball still remained smudged and dirty. "Damn it!"

He let out a deep sigh, grumbling under his breath before getting a sneaky idea. Looking around, he carried it over the edge and looked at the water. 'I know this is cheating, but it's not like these don't end up in the sea eventually. I'll just pretend they're all polished and this one just 'happened' to end up in the water.' He thought as he 'tripped' and dropped the ball over the side of the ship. 'Besides, I'm the enemy, if I can make them lose a cannon ball, that's one less they can use on me and the samurai!'

With that out of the way, he grabbed the polish to get to work on the decks. 'Alright, once I finish these I can rest, and get more info for Luffy!' he thought as he began to scrub the decks. 'It's not like the others aren't working in their undercover roles.'

And so he spent a long time polishing each and every deck, so much so his knuckles felt like they were going to fall off. But by the time he was done, the decks were practically sparkling, and thus he made his way wearily back to his apartment to rest.

"Ah…ah…too much…polish…" he groaned as he unlocked the door and stumbled in, ready to pass out.

"Hello Chappa."

"WAAAHH!" he screamed in a high pitch tone, falling backwards. Sitting in his apartment, sipping a cup of tea was Sarahebi. "W-What are you doing here?!"

"I came by to see how your chores were coming along." She said as she put the cup down.

"I just finished… everything…" He panted, clutching his heart as it went a million miles an hour. "Couldn't you have checked without scaring me?!"

"It's my job as a teacher to come without warning. I've had to deal with numerous kids trying to get out of their homework if they know when I'm coming." She smiled as he looked at her in confusion.

"Um… I'm not a kid though." he said, confused on what she was talking about.

"Perhaps, but you did try to skip out on your job."

"What? N-No I didn't! I finished it! Really!" He protested, shaking his head. "You can go see, I cleaned the ship, cleaned the docks, polished all the cannons and cannonballs!"

"All of them?"

"All of them!"

"Then what's this?" She asked, reaching behind to pick up a wet, drippy, dirty cannonball.

Chopper went as white as a ghost and opened his mouth in shock. 'How did she get that?!'

"I see you recognize this, don't you?" She asked, elongating her neck as she stared at him. "Really, messing up on your first day? I expected better of you."

"I-It's not my fault! I scrubbed and scrubbed but it wouldn't shine like the rest! I really tried!" Chopper protested, backing up nervously.

"Yet here we are, with me finding out you tried to destroy valuable materials of the beast pirates." She said, horns growing from her head as her teeth sharpened.

"W-W-What else could I do?!"

"Make a report of it, and go onto the next task. Unfortunately, what's done is done, and you leave me no choice." She said, a large smile on her face despite her tone sounding sad.

"N-No choice?" he squeaked in fear.

"Yes, you do remember what I told you would happen if you failed to complete your jobs~" She chuckled as Chopper kept backing up until he hit a wall.

"C-Can't we compromise!?" He asked, looking around frantically. "I-It was just a minor thing, c-can't you just let me off with a warning?!"

"Now now, if I do that, you might not feel motivated the next time. Not to mention if word got out, others might mess up, and then we have a problem all over." She said as she stood up. "Now then, do yourself a favor and don't run, it'll just make the punishment all the worse when I catch you~"

Chopper gulped and looked at the door. 'Time to run, again!' He thought as he turned to run, making it a few steps before he felt something sharp puncture his shoulder. "OW!"

"Bad boy~" she chuckled, her teeth digging into him before pulling back as he grabbed the spot and looked at her as she smiled. "I tried to warn you."

"You didn't say you were going to bite me!" He cried out, rubbing the spot, noting how it didn't hurt, before realizing that he couldn't feel the spot either, a numbness starting to radiate out from where he had been bit. "Wait…poison!"

"Close, venom~" She chuckled as he noted a hint of green on her fangs, making his eyes go wide. "Just relax, make this easy on yourself~"

Chopper opened to respond, but tensed up as he fell back and started to feel his body go stiff. His eyes looked around wildly, unable to to turn his neck as he saw Sarahebi walk into his field of vision, a grin on her face.

"Now then, now that you can't play hookey, it's time to start your punishment~"

'Oh no! What else could she have in store?!' Chopper thought as she reached down, picking him up. 'Please, please let it not be so bad! Please don't let this be permanent!'

She hummed and carried him with ease over to the bed, plopping him on his back. He stared up at her, eyes pleading that she not do whatever she planned to do.

"Just relax… well, I suppose that part is taken care of for you, isn't it?" She chuckled with a devious grin. "The venom will keep you this way for a while, plenty of time for the next part."

'Next part?! What's the next part?!' He thought fearfully. 'What does she mean by that?!'

"I'm feeling a bit tired myself, so you'll make due as my pillow." She said as she began to lie down, making Chopper's thoughts pause in confusion.

'A…pillow? That… isn't as bad as I thought.' He thought. 'In fact…. Is it weird this is the second time this has happened on this island? I thought she was going to impale me or something! Did she really have to bite me for this?!'

She moved her body, repositioning it to where she was sitting on his chest with a smile. "Ah, there we go."

Chopper's eyes widened a fraction at this, thoughts racing through his head as his face heated up. 'W-W-What?! Why…wha…why…huh?!'

"I must say, you're quite soft, much better than my usual pillow~" she hummed, rubbing against him which just made his face burn more when he registered the shape of her rear. "Play your cards right and you might have a new set of jobs in the future~"

'Is she enjoying this?!' he thought, his face bright red.

"Consider yourself lucky, most fools usually find themselves receiving a lashing or a demotion, you could say I'm letting you off lightly~" she tapped his nose while staying on top of him. "Just keep in mind, I can be VERY harsh when I want to be."

'Understood, but when does this end?!' He thought, forced to stare upwards at his tormentor. 'Maybe…. Can I make myself shift forms like this? Maybe it'll go through my system faster like that?' he pondered on it while trying hard NOT to ponder on how soft her butt fe-NO! NO! None of that! He could get out of this, he was a strawhat pirate, and he would not enjoy this!

Chopper concentrated,, trying his best to imagine his human point, trying his best to get bigger. 'C'mon, I just need to be able to throw her off, surprise her so I can escape!'

Sarahebi sighed, relaxing when suddenly, she felt something… off. She noted her 'pillow' felt softer and less muscular. She gasped as she felt herself even moving a bit, as if her pillow was growing. She looked down in confusion, her eyes widening at what she saw. She saw Chopper become a giant fluff ball right then and there. "Wha… what on earth…Chappa?! What is this?!" She cried out, standing up in surprise. To her relief, Chopper didn't respond, nor did he seem able to move either.

'Ok, so I can shift forms, but will it actually wear off quicker?' he thought, still paralyzed. 'Also… wasn't I trying to turn into my heavy point? Why am I in guard point?'

"My my, this is quite the surprise Chappa." chuckled the woman, feeling his fur up. "I've never seen a gifter who could shift like that, you might be a rare one.'

'That's because I don't have a normal fruit!' he thought as she poked her hand into her fur, watching in amazement as it sunk in up to her shoulder.

"I think I'm going to take this as you wanting to make my sitting experience more pleasant, and not a bad attempt at escape, am I right?" She said, her teeth sharp as she grinned at him. "Looks like someone's a naughty little boy~"

'Damn it! A-Also don't say it like that!' he thought as Sarahebi tentatively lowered herself onto him, sighing as she sunk in, like the world's furriest bean bag.

"I think I'll take a little nap." She sighed happily, closing her eyes as she relaxed. "See you in the morning Chappa~"

'Wait, this is going to last all night?!' he thought in worry. 'Her venom can't be THAT potent…right?'

(Later)

"Morning~" Sang Sarahebi, sitting up and rubbing her eye with Chopper wide awake with bags under his eyes.

'It is…'

"I must say, you were amazing last night, I haven't slept that soundly in ages." She sighed happily. She climbed off him and stretched out her arms. "I might make that your new chore, helping me get enough sleep.'

'What?!'

"I have to admit, usually I would have given you some anti-venom to unfreeze you." She said, glancing at him with a wicked grin. "But… say, can you change back to your smaller form quick?"

He internally groaned while noting how his body under the thick coat was starting to feel less numb than yesterday.

"C'mon, can you do it or not?" She asked, raising an eyebrow expectantly. "Try and focus like you did yesterday."

Chopper rolled his eyes before focusing, doing his best to try and change. After a minute he was lying on her bed, back to his normal form.

"See? That wasn't so bad." She smiled as she reached down and picked him up. "Now then, where was I? Oh yes, normally I'd give you the anti-venom." She said, looking him over as an idea came to her mind. "But, given how you tried to weasel out of your punishment last night, I have another idea~"

'What?!' he thought while one of his legs twitched, not that she noticed.

"Yes, I think I have a new job for you~" She chuckled as she walked to one corner of the apartment, where a small fountain was sitting. She gently placed Chopper on a small pedestal on the top of it, moving his arms and legs so he was posing. "You can just stay there as a decoration for today, how about that? Or would you rather I put you on display outside?"

'I'm not a statue!' he thought in annoyance as she grinned.

"Now you just stay right there until I come back, if you do then I'll have a reward for you~" She chuckled as she stretched her neck out before planting a soft kiss on his cheek. "I'll have you know I can be VERY generous, almost as much as I can be demanding~"

Chopper's face lit up again as he watched her make her way out of the room. 'I…what..wha…what was that?!'

"See you in eight hours~"

'EH!?' he thought as the door closed. 'How much longer!?' He thought, his eye twitching in annoyance before he paused, realizing that he could twitch his eye, he was starting to get control again! He looked at his left hoof and started to feel it twitch along with his other leg. 'It's wearing off! FINALLY!' He thought with glee as he tried his best to make the rest of his body move. 'Maybe changing forms did work? Then again I was frozen all night…'

After almost half an hour he was finally able to move his body, albeit a bit sluggishly. He let out a victory groan while dragging himself to the door, he had to get out of here before she came back. 'Ok, as nice as it was to get an apartment, I can't stay here anymore! Alright, new plan, I find a nice supply closet and stay in there until I hear Luffy yelling!'

With some extra effort, he got the door open and shifted into his walk point before he started trodding down the hall, exhausted and unable to run. Luckily, not too many people gave him odd looks or tried to stop him as he made his way down the hall. 'Closet, closet, closet…' He chanted, eyes darting around while nodding on and off, nearly tripping up due to exhaustion. Unfortunately, almost all the doors looked the same, making him groan in annoyance. 'How hard is it to find one closet?'

In his groggy state, he failed to notice he was running up a steep flight of stairs that was leading to an area that had no other waiters or gifters and gave off an ominous feel to it. All he knew was that he was tired, exhausted, and he needed somewhere dark, and void of any crazy pirates so he could rest.

'Closet…closet…clos….et….' he thought, slowing down and panting as he went back to his normal form, forcing himself to keep walking while his body was running on fumes. 'Just…one…closet..' he thought as he looked around, trying to find a single door, any door, his body about to give out. His eyes caught sight of a folded screen with a large shadow behind it, but in his sleepy state, he took it as a door and walked towards it, not noticing the shadow was enormous compared to his size. He grasped the frame, trying to move it open, trying to open what he thought was a door.

But his attempt made it shake a little, making the shadow turn their head and notice with curiosity.

"Open…open…" Groaned Chopper. As he tried he noticed the shadow, groaning as he did so. "Damn it… the room is occupied."

"Who's there?"

"Chopper…sorry…" Chopper groaned as he turned to leave, not bothering to give a fake name. As he walked, the person pushed the screen aside and looked down, surprised at the tiny animal walking wearing clothes of the crew. Before he could get farther, he stopped and fell facedown, groaning as his body gave out. 'Stupid legs… stupid… soft floor…'

The figure stared at him, trying to process what they were looking at. They reached down and picked him up for a closer look, intrigued while noting the reindeer snoring away. "Hmm, this one looks interesting to play with."

(Later)

Chopper groaned as his eyes began to open, feeling sore, yet slightly more rested than when he had passed out. 'At least I'm not poisoned…' he flexed his hooves and felt his body back to normal while nice and warm all over. He opened his eyes and looked around, trying to remember where he had ended up when he went to sleep. 'Did I find a closet? Last thing I remember is that everything was dark and blurry.'

"Looks like someone's awake." came a seductive voice directly above him, feeling his body shift slightly for some reason. "Have a nice nap?"

Chopper nodded, yawning as he looked around. "Where am I?"

"I've had some describe it as heaven, some as hell, I wonder which you'll find it as, not many make it up here~" the voice replied as he tilted his head back, but the shadows from the room obscured the face.

"Mmmm, who are you?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes. 'She sounds nice… maybe I finally found someone who's not crazy, maybe she brought me to an infirmary or something?'

"My my, I haven't found many who haven't heard of me." Chuckled the voice. "My name is Black Maria, make sure you remember it Chopper~"

He blinked before stiffening up. 'She knows my real name!'

"I will say, it's been awhile since anyone has made it up to my room, let alone give me their name before passing out." The figure chuckled as Chopper tried his best to see who he was looking at, to try and move to get a better position. All he did was note the softness surrounding him before he felt lifted up and noted just how high up he was.

'Deja vu.' he thought before he found himself held up in front of a woman with long blonde hair styled like a geisha's with two swords notably being part of its arrangement. Her eyes were sky blue with a strand of hair dangling in front of her left eye. She had a pair of long, slightly curved red horns atop her head, wearing prominent red lipstick, and was holding him up by the back of his cape with a smile that made his face heat up with steam leaving his ears. "I-I-I…"

"Speechless now? I will admit, I do have that effect with men~" she tilted her head while closing her eyes, Chopper feeling himself at a loss for words.

"I….uh…" He started, trying to figure out what to say next. "I… thanks for uh… taking care of me while I slept?"

"I just let you rest since you looked like you needed it, did you have any sweet dreams?" She asked, staring at him with a smile as he nodded.

"I uh… yeah, I had a nice dream, it was peaceful." He said, feeling slightly confused. 'This… is a bit strange, she seems so nice, is she really one of the beast pirates?'

"Well since we know each other's names, why don't we get to know one another?" She asked as he gulped nervously.

"Um… you mean just talk about our lives?"

"Of course." She smiled as Chopper let out a sigh of relief.

'Finally, someone who isn't crazy! She might be tall, but she might be one of the nicest people I've met here!' he smiled. "Well, what would you like to know?"

"How about how you became a pirate?" She smiled. "You don't seem like the type, or at least like the kind we usually recruit."

"Oh! Well…I wanted to be helpful." he quickly came up. "See, I'm actually a doctor, even if I don't look it."

"Really?" She asked, her eyebrow raising in surprise. 'An actually competent pirate instead of a musclehead idiot? This gets more and more interesting.'

"I studied medicine for a long time and wanted to help people with it." He smiled. "I'm going to find a way to cure all diseases some day!"

"I see, but that doesn't explain how you ended up here, in fact it sounds like you had a whole future available to you that didn't have anything to do with pirates." She remarked curiously.

"Well ya see…I…figured I'd be helpful around here." He answered while glancing away briefly. "I mean, with how rowdy everyone here is, they might need someone to patch them up."

"I see what you mean." She nodded, setting Chopper down in the palm of her hand. "That's quite generous of you, not many people join the wildest crew in the grand line to nurse them back to health."

"Hehe, what can I say, it's who I am." He blushed while poking his hooves together. "So… what about you? You seem a lot nicer than the other pirates I've met here, how did you end up here?"

"Because of Kaido of course." She smiled. "After all, it only makes sense to be around those who are strong, and I was one of the lucky few he accepted when he was starting out." She smiled, sighing happily. "I have no regrets since then, ever since I joined I've become powerful as well, I've done amazing, I even own my own business here~"

"What sort of business?" He asked curiously, laying against her palm.

"Why, my own brothel of course." She grinned as Chopper paused. "I have so many wonderful girls and boys working under me, it's perfect~"

"Brothel?" He repeated to himself, gulping at the brief reminder and tried smiling. "That sounds…great."

"Yes, it's wonderful, I can make my own rules, I couldn't ask for a better place." She grinned as Chopper began to feel very small and not as safe as he once had a few moments ago.

"I-I see….do you mean… the girls and guys there only do what you tell them too?" Chopper asked, feeling more nervous. 'Like tell them to attack rookies?!'

"Only if it's something I personally need to see too. Most of the time I let them make their choices since I can trust in them to do a good job. I prefer not to micromanage every little thing." She shrugged as Chopper nodded.

'Ok… maybe she just didn't know what they were doing?' He thought as he began to relax a bit. "I see, I ask because I uh… heard it gets a bit wild there."

"Well of course it does, it's a brothel." She giggled which made Chopper swoon a little as he failed to notice a wire going through his cape and leading near her neck. "Did you go there? Is that why you seemed so tired~?" She asked with a wink.

"N-No, not at all!" He said quickly, his face red. "I-I was just working really hard yesterday, and I didn't get any sleep and… it's complicated."

"Well you can rest easy with me, you're safe."

"Thank you." He smiled. "Thank you for looking after me, I really appreciate it."

"It's fine, and my aren't you quite the charmer." Black Maria chuckled as she reached next to her and retrieved a long pipe. "You're going to make me blush~"

Chopper chuckled and looked away bashfully. 'Wow, this isn't so bad. Maybe I….wait!' "Uh, I have a question. Do you happen to know where I could find a map around here?"

"A map? Why would you want or need something like that?" She asked, looking at him curiously before taking a puff on the pipe.

"I….have a bad habit of getting lost." He came up with. "Yeah, sometimes I get spun around even when someone tells me the exact directions I need to go, so I thought if I had a map it'd be less hard."

"Really? Well, I can't imagine you'll have to worry about that anymore." She said, blowing out the smoke at him with a smile.

"Does that me- ack!" Chopper coughed as he tried to wave the smoke away. "D-Do you have one I can borrow then?"

"Mmm, well not ON me right now." She chuckled as she looked at him, a small glint in her eyes. "Besides, you don't need one right now, you're not going anywhere soon."

"Oh no, I don't mean right now!" He waved his hooves quickly. "I meant for the future is all."

"Mmmm, we'll see." She grinned, chuckling a bit, as if she was in on a joke he didn't know about.

"Great!" He grinned. He leaned back on the palm and sighed while she internally chuckled.

'So innocent, he hasn't even realized he's already tangled in my web~' She licked her lips before taking another puff and blew it into the air. 'I wouldn't mind keeping him as my new pet, I won't even need to 'persuade' him.' She thought as she lowered her pipe, putting it down to grab a large saucer of sake. 'He's all but given in to staying here, he might be my first pet who's given himself to me willingly~'

'Ah, this is perfect. I can finally relax with someone who's willing to help me get a map, and is an angel!' he thought, trying to keep from cheering out and looking weird, he didn't want to start acting like Sanji.

"Chopper, would you care for a taste?" Black Maria asked, jarring him out of his thoughts as she held out the large saucer. "It's good, trust me~"

"Don't mind if I do." he moved over near it, holding onto it as she gently tilted it and started sipping from the sake. His eyes widened as he tasted it, the drink stronger than he even knew sake could be. He pulled back and coughed as she smiled.

"What do you think?"

"S-Strong!" He coughed, his mind feeling a bit blurry.

"Of course it is, nothing weak interests me… or at least, almost nothing weak does~" She chuckled before taking a long drink from the saucer.

Chopper let out a hiccup, patting his chest at the burning sensation. 'Wow, that…that was really strong!' he thought, trying to take a step back only to fall down on her palm, his sense of balance off.

"I take it you don't drink much?" She asked innocently, trying not to grin from ear to ear. 'Just like I guessed~'

"N-No…need ta…ta stay sober…for the crew in case…" He got out, shaking his head. "In case….uh…what?"

"In case they need a doctor?" She guessed, trying not to laugh at her new pet. 'Oh he is just a delight, I think I'll take my time with him~'

"Yeah that!" he let out with a raised hoof. "O-or if they need me…ta fight!"

"You, a fighter?" She laughed, shaking her head. "Just because the beast pirates love a good fight doesn't mean everyone can silly~"

"I-I can fight!" he pouted while swaying. "I can fight…a lot…sooo much!"

"I'm sure you can." She chuckled, shaking her head. 'He really can't handle his liquor, can he?'

"I can!" he repeated while trying to stand up, but stumbled back and nearly fell over her palm before falling down on his face.

"Uh-huh, sure, how about you show me after you learn how to stand up straight?" She chuckled as Chopper groaned.

"I-I'm….real good…" he grumbled, trying to get back up, but rolled over the side and yelped when he felt the cape tug on his neck, it being held by the wire as he grabbed at it with a choke. A second later gravity finally took hold and he found himself slamming against Black Maria's chest. "W-What is this?!"

"Oh, sorry about that. I put you on some wire while you slept." she held it up with a finger as it glinted in the light. "I didn't want you to get hurt and wanted to keep an eye on you."

Chopper just caught as he desperately held at her chest, trying to relieve the pressure on his cape. "W-Why? C-Couldn't you just… let me on the floor?"

"Because you seemed to enjoy yourself while sleeping on my breasts." she replied with an innocent smile. "Besides, it paid off just now, didn't it? Imagine if you had landed on the floor instead."

Chopper opened his mouth, but glancing down at the orbs he was sitting between made him shut up with his face going more warmer, which didn't help his drunken stupor. "Soft…"

"See? It was a softer landing, wasn't it?" She smiled, realizing he was agreeing with her. "I wouldn't want you to get hurt, this was all to protect you Chopper~"

"Ahh…you're so nice~" he sighed, relaxing as he made himself comfy between the large mounds.

"Yes, and so are you." She smiled, looking down at her new pet. 'He is just so innocent, I love it~' She thought, grinning as she stared at him. 'He just accepts things at face value, at this rate he may become my favorite~'

Chopper closed his eyes as he felt like falling back to sleep, but he started to hear several voices, ones that made him sit up as his drunken mind found them familiar, but why? "Who dat?"

"Shh, it's fine Chopper, its just some of my girls." Black Maria smiled.

"Big sis? Who are you talking too?" called one of them as several shadows could be seen entering the room via the entrance on the right side of the large woman.

"Oh, just a new…. Companion I found." Black Maria said carefully, winking to her girls who giggled. "Say hello Chopper~"

Chopper turned and blinked several times as she angled down to where he could see before his eyes bugged out of his head with his jaw dropping. Staring back at him, in equal shock was Tenjo-Sagari, Sarahebi, and Nure-Onna, their jaws dropped as they recognized the familiar reindeer pirate. Now, if this was any other situation, maybe he would have tried to plead his case to Black Maria, he was her guest, she may have listened and protected him. Unfortunately, this was not a normal situation, Chopper was drunk, and his clouded mind recognized the two women, and part of him, the part that had existed before he had ever eaten the human-human fruit kicked in, sending his fight or flight instincts into overdrive, and unfortunately, flight won.

"YOU!" the two let out before Chopper let out a high pitched scream and jumped off the breasts, briefly choking due to the wire tugging on the cape before he tore it off, dropped down, and zipped past them in a cloud before they had a moment to react.

Black Maria, meanwhile, stared in shock, taking a moment to process that a, her girls apparently knew Chopper, and b, her newest pet had just run away. With that, just as fast as Chopper had run away, her surprise turned to fury. She stood up, clenching her hand before looking down at the girls who looked where he went. "Do you three already know about my pet?"

"Y-Yes, I know Tony, I met him at the pleasure hall, I-I was trying to have fun, rookie breaking like you taught me!" Tenjo-Sagari let out. "He got away before I could catch him though!"

"I wanted to break him in too!" Nure-Onna nodded while hiding behind the first.

"I was trying to show him the proper ropes like every rookie, but he must have gotten away from his punishment." Gulped Sarahebi as Black Maria narrowed her eyes. "Wait….Tony? He said his name was Chappa."

Black Maria took a slow puff from her pipe and blew it out while crossing her other arm under her chest as she looked at them with a serious look. "Good, you know what to expect then. Now go get him and bring him back to me, NOW."

"Y-Yes ma'am!" All three cried out in fear before turning and rushing away.

"Do it fast and I may forgive you three!" She called. 'Damn it…. Those three, sure I told them to do all that… and yes, they had every right to do so…. Wait, this isn't their fault.' She realized, a thought coming to her head as her anger found a new target. 'Chopper…. He's at fault, he's the one who ran, he should have known he was safe with me! How dare he try to leave me!'

Back with the reindeer, his panicked mind was making him run as fast as possible, going so fast he was kicking up a dust stream behind him, taking random turns, albeit stumbling a little and nearly falling over. Turns out running on all four legs while drunk isn't easy.

'T-This island is a nightmare! Everywhere I turn things get crazier and crazier, even the crazy geisha came back!' He thought, looking around crazily as he tried to find somewhere to run to, somewhere to hide. Right as he turned left, skidding on the floor and pulling off a crazy drift, he bolted forward, but in his panic he didn't see the figure in blue standing with their back turned towards him, not seeing him in their blindspot. Within an instant however, they were very forcefully made aware of each other's existence as Chopper accidentally plowed right into her, taking her off her feet as he kept running. 'What was that…wait, was that a person?!' He thought, feeling a new weight on his horns.

"Hey! What the fuck are you doing?!" they cried out, trying to look under them as Chopper kept running.

'Damn it, that's a person!' he thought, glancing up to see a leg and some blue cloth, the rest hidden on the top of his head, out of his sight. 'I can't stop though, the others might be after me right now!'

"Put me down you bastard!" They cried out as Chopper felt someone slapping the sides of his neck.

'Damn it! Ok, they think I'm a Beast pirate, maybe I can get away with being rude just this once?' He thought as he began to lower his head.

"What are you-eeek!" The figure cried as Chopper bucked his head back, trying to dislodge the person, which kind of worked, except he felt them land on his back instead.

"Oi! Get off me you punk!" he tried to bark back. "I'm in a rush!"

"Wha- you can talk?!" They cried as he felt them shift on his back until he could feel that they were riding him, like one would a horse. "Hey…. this is kinda fun, faster!"

"Off!" he let out, trying to run sporadically, trying to shake them off.

"Nope, you put me on, you take responsibility, now faster!" They declared before Chopper felt them kick their legs into his side. "Faster!"

He gritted his teeth and started to go faster on impulse. "S-Stop that!"

The figure just cackled in glee as he ran. "This is great! Fast- oh, take a left up here!"

"What do you- gah!" Chopper started to ask before he felt the figure grab his mane and yank left, making him instinctively turn left as they came to a crossroad in the hall.

"Now a right!"

"Ok-gah!" Chopper cried as they yanked once more. "Stop that!"

"Nope~"

Chopper sped down various halls, crashing past several Beast pirates as a result, the alcohol in his system getting burned down from the constant running, making him more mindful. "I think I'm going to stop now!" He called, realizing that with the erratic way this person had been steering him, he didn't hear anyone after them. 'Ok, new plan, get this crazy person off me, then I'm hiding underneath the castle, or in a barrel, or in a box or somewhere solitary until Luffy comes here!'

"I didn't say to stop!" they yelled while kicking his side. "Don't you dare quit on me!"

"OW! Would you stop kicking me?! Also, yes, I should stop!" Chopper shouted, annoyed how he instinctively sped up with the kick.

"Nuh-uh, don't you dare!"

"Yuh-huh!" Chopper protested. "I'm not a horse damn it!"

"You are now!"

"No! I'm! NOT!" he suddenly dug his hooves against the floor, slowing down as the sudden stop sent the person flying off him and landed in front of him.

"Hey! That was mean!" They roared as they spun around, putting their hands on their hips. They were a young woman of middling height, with a light complexion. Her hair reaches near her mid-back and forms rounded locks mainly blue in coloration, but with thin, pink-colored streaks running through, plus a single white one over her left eye.. Blunt bangs fell on her forehead, split near the left, and an ahoge stood up on her head. Characteristically (as with many of the crew), She had horns, a sharp, upward-curving pair emerging from the sides of her head, white in color, that resembled a bull's. Her eyes were large, round, fringed by long lashes, and encompassed violet irises. Her lower face up to the nose was covered by a pink mask with a scalloped edge, trimmed with a white stripe.

"I'm not some horse you can get a free ride off of!" he snapped, changing his form back to his normal form before she could jump on or anything crazy like that. "I'm a normal person damn it!"

"You…huh?" The figure blinked, her eyes widening in wonder. "You…are a horse and a stuffed animal?!"

"Reindeer! I'm a reindeer!" he snapped while flailing his arms. "Look at the antlers!"

"I am, they're so tiny and cute!" She practically squealed.

"Yes- I mean no, they're not cute!" he fumed while blushing and forced himself to not get flattered at the praise.

"Yes they are, in fact you're adorable!" She cried before her hands struck out, grabbing him before he could react. "You're coming with me!"

"Huh? Wait, no, why would I?!" he let out as she picked him up with him trying to pry her hands free. "I don't know you, you're just some crazy person I accidentally ran into!"

"Crazy?!" her eyes darkened before she started shaking. "Who are you calling crazy, you pipsqueak!?"

"Pipsqueak?!" He shot back incredulously. "At least I'm not…uh… damn it!" He growled, unable to think of a proper insult. "At least I don't ride random people like a horse!"

"You practically forced me to ride!"

"I….uh…. Sorry?!" He shouted back, not having a comeback for that one either. 'Damn it, am I on the wrong side of this argument?!'

"You should be!" she held him right in front of her face. "Just who do you think you are?!"

"I'm Chopper!" He snapped at her before pausing. 'Damn it, not again!'

"Well Chopper, you're just a gifter! That means I'm your boss!" She remarked smugly.

He let out a groan as she put him under her arm and began walking down a hall. "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see~" She chuckled.

"Ugh….so, uh… who are you again?" He asked as he stopped struggling. 'She said she was my boss? Just how much stronger is she compared to a regular gifter?'

"You've got some spunk to you, I like it! But don't go giving me lip!" she yelled while giving his cheek a pinch before her tone went upbeat. "You can call me big sis though~!"

"Uh… ok….big sis?" He said, still feeling lost. 'If she is important, then if I tried to run away…. She could beat me up, couldn't she!' he thought, gulping as he realized how lucky he was to only get scolded for essentially running her over.

"Great! I'm sure you can be better behaved in the future, but then again we are beast pirates, we do what we want!" she cheered while rubbing her head on top of his, making him sweatdrop at her sudden change in tone.

"Is it a long walk?" He asked with a small groan. "I can walk by myself you know…"

"Forget it, let your big sis carry you, you did it to me after all." She grinned. "Besides, we're nearly there!"

'It's not like that ride was something I meant to do, and you wouldn't get off!' He thought with an eye twitch as he was feeling mentally exhausted more so than anything physical. 'She almost seems like a crazier Luffy, maybe if I just play along for now she'll get bored and find something else to do or someone else to bother?'

"You're pretty lucky Chopper, not many get to be carried by big sis Ulti!" she smiled while squeezing him against her. "Usually it's my darling Pay-Pay, but he snuck off without telling me! Ahhh, he's so mean!" She suddenly sounded upset and started hugging him tighter against her body. "When I find him I'm gonna give him such a bad headbutt! GAH!" She cried, turning and hitting the wall next to them, creating a massive hole as the wall practically disintegrated under her blow, making Chopper pale in shock.

'Crazier! Definitely crazier!' He paled as she panted before holding him up, looking at him before tilting her head to the side.

"But now I have a new friend to keep me company, and you won't sneak off like Pay-Pay did, riiiiight?" She asked, Chopper fearfully nodding his head in agreement.

"N-N-Nope, not at all." he tried to give a smile while sweating bullets. 'She's dangerous! How did I end up finding one of the monster members of this crew?!'

"Great!" She smiled, rubbing the top of his head against hers happily. "Oh! We're here!"

"W-Where are we?" Chopper asked, looking around nervously.

"My room~" She smiled, practically kicking in a large door. She walked inside with the inside looking bright pink and numerous girly accessories and items hanging up on shelves after shelves with a bed that looked a bit too big for her. Atop the bed and next to it were piles of different sized and shaped stuffed animals, giving Chopper a very good idea on why she was so determined to keep him with her. "What do you think?"

"It's….really bright." he said, looking around with a small grimace on his face. 'I…have a bad feeling about this.' he thought before shaking his head. 'Maybe it won't be so bad? At least she seems like she just wants to cuddle me and play?'

"I thought the color looked cute, which it is!" She grinned as she slammed the door shut behind them. "It's the brightest color I could find, and it's so pretty~"

"Yeah…. So, uh, since we're here could you put me down?"

"Not a chance!" She snapped, holding him tighter. "You'll stay right here in my arms, got it?"

"Crystal." he replied with a quick nod.

"Great!" She cheered, her mood doing a full 180.

"S-So… what did you want to do in here?" Chopper asked hesitantly.

"Pamper you of course, it's what a big sis does~"

"P-Pamper?" He asked, gulping nervously. "J-Just a heads up, I'm a guy…"

"So?" She asked as he paled.

"I uh… well I uh… never mind?" He said, looking around the room, seeing the pink walls, the girly objects and had a strong feeling on how this 'pampering' would go.

"Great! Let's get started."

"Yay…." Chopper let out. 'Ok, maybe it won't be so bad? If I can bear with it, I can just stay here till Luffy comes, if she's a high ranking member no one would barge in to get me, right?'

(Later)

'I was right, this is a nightmare!' Chopper thought, trying to suppress a large groan.

"More tea Choppy?"

"Yes… big sis." he let out, stiffly holding out a tea cup. "It's…..it's Chopper."

"Not anymore, remember silly?" She giggled while filling up the cup with him wearing a sailor suit and feeling mortified. "Choppy fits soooo much better."

"Yeah…" He said, taking a sip. "I uh… it's getting a bit late, when do you think I should head out?"

"Well, here's the thing." She said happily, setting the tea pot now. "I have some great news!"

'Oh no.' he thought. "What's that?"

"Well, I've had so much fun with you today, that I had a great idea!" She cheered. "Some of the other Tobiroppo members have their own personal groups, yet me and Pay-Pay don't have any members, or at least I didn't until now!" she pulled him over against her chest, pressing his face between her breasts. "You get to be my first member!"

"What?!" He cried out in shock.

"Yep! I bet I can even have your room moved next to mine… actually, you can just live here with me!" she gushed before holding him up to her face as she rubbed her nose against his own, making him blush harder.

"I-Is that really such a good idea?" He got out as she paused and narrowed her eyes at him. "I-I mean, what if you wanted some privacy and I'm in here?"

"Then you cover your eyes of course." She smiled, relaxing.

"W-What if… I want privacy?" he asked hesitantly. 'Please, please let there be an excuse she buys, I can't stay here indefinitely!'

She looked shocked and started tearing up. "Y-Y-You don't want big sis here?" She suddenly glared and started pinching his cheeks. "It's my duty to keep an eye on you at all times! It's what big sisters do!"

"Gah! Stop it, stop it!" He cried, trying to pull her hands off his cheeks. 'How do I tell her she's not my big sister if this is how she reacts to the idea of me wanting privacy?!'

"Apologize or I'll cry!"

"Gah, fine, fine! I'm sorry!" He cried out as she smiled and let go. 'Ow….wait, I think I have it!'

"Glad to hear!"

"Yeah…but uh…. What should I do when Pay-Pay comes back, wouldn't you want to spend time just with him and not have to share with him?" He asked, trying his best to try and use her insanity to make her see reason.

She gasped and covered her mask, wide eyed at the question. "I…I…I never considered that!"

"See? So it would make sense for me to have my own room, we can uh… still spend time together, but it gives you the opportunity to have me be somewhere else that's safe?" he explained slowly as she looked down in thought. 'Yes, it's working, it's working, she's actually seeing reason!'

"You're right…. I can't always be with you… and you need to be safe…" She muttered as her mind worked this out before closing her eyes and sighed. "It does make sense."

'Yes!' he thought, barely holding back the urge to cheer. "I'm glad you see it that way."

"But Pay-Pay isn't here yet, which means we can still play longer!"

"Yay…" He said, his eye twitching. 'Ok, you can put up with it, just a bit longer, right?' he thought as Ulti poured him another cup of tea.

'Damn, if only I could keep him hidden in here so Pay-Pay wouldn't have to see him, that way I could spend time with both of them.' she thought before hearing a knock at her door, making both turn to it with her frowning. "Who is it? I'm busy!"

"Ma'am, can I come in please? I have a report. I need you to go over with me." Called a voice as Chopper's eyes went wide.

'Wait…. I know that voice! I can't let anyone see me like this, let alone her!' he thought before quickly ducking under the table with Ulti growling.

"I don't give two shits about it! I SAID I'M BUSY!" She roared as Chopper looked around fearfully.

"I'm sorry, but King-sama ordered me to get you to go over it, and he said 'you better do this Ulti, or I'll order Pay-Pay to go to paradise for a month'."

"That bastard!" she snapped, her hand gaining scales and claws as she dug into the table, barely missing Chopper on accident who paled as she stood up. "Fine, hurry!"

Chopper paled as he saw the door begin to open and Ginrummy open the door. He looked around desperately for a new place to hide, some place that didn't have a giant hole in the center before spotting the giant piles of stuffed animals. He scrambled towards them like a speedy cockroach, diving right in. He sighed in relief as he buried himself, confident that he was safe now.

Ginrummy kept a composed expression, even with Ulti looking like she wanted to rip her to shreds. "I'm sorry ma'am, but King-sama is making me do this just like you."

"Let's just get it over with! I'm spending time with my Choppy!" she snapped. She then turned to stare at her new subordinate, only to see him gone. "Choppy? Choppy?!"

Ginrummy watched as Ulti started looking around with worry while tossing the table aside and suddenly turned mad.

"Choppy! Where are you!? If you wanted to play hide n seek you should have said so! That's cheating!"

"Ma'am, can this wait till after we're done?" Ginrummy asked, shaking her head. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner you can find…Choppy."

With said reindeer, he was slowly moving through the plushies, keeping his voice down as he spotted the open door. 'Ok, maybe this is my chance to run. I don't want to go around outside wearing this… but do I have a choice?' he thought, looking at his sailor uniform he'd been forced into. 'Good thing the regular uniform is under this… ugh, am I really excited to be wearing that again?'

"Choppy! You're making big sis cry!" yelled Ulti as she looked under her bed with Ginrummy taking the moment to think.

'Ahhh, I can't believe I got stuck with this. I should be out there looking for Tonny. A whole week and no sight of him. If I knew this would have happened, I would have just told him to take me then and there before it was too late.' she thought as she walked over to the stuffed animal pile and sat down, noting that the other chairs in the room were at a tea table, and she'd rather fight Whitebeard than sit there. 'I finally find someone who could beat me and-'

She suddenly felt something poke her, making her look down and spot a small reindeer 'plushie' wearing a sailor suit that seemed to look at her, but it looked familiar to her. 'Huh, kinda reminds me of Tonny, it's the same color as him.' She thought, staring at it.

'Don't twitch, don't breathe, don't even sweat.' He thought, staring at Ginrummy, feeling like he was looking death in the eye. 'If I move, she'll know I'm real, she'll tell Ulti, then I'm stuck here!' He thought, the idea terrifying him. 'I'm not staying with Ulti anymore, she's crazy, she's almost worse than the geisha!'

Ginrummy leaned down closer, narrowing her eyes as she thought she saw the nose twitch. 'This plushy is oddly warm…no, it's not real, is it?'

"Choppy! C'mon, where are you?! You're making me mad!" Growled Ulti, her hands gaining scales and claws showing as Chopper felt his nose tickle.

'No no no no no!' He thought, trying his best not to react. 'No no no no! Not now, please not now, don't betray me body, don't!'

Ginrummy pulled back and shrugged, right before Chopper let out a sneeze, making her turn in surprise as Chopper covered his nose with wide eyes. "What the he-"

"Choppy?"

'Screw it, it's now or never!' he thought, making a mad dash for the door as he shifted into his running form, making both girls spot him as he tried to escape. Ulti's eyes widened as she saw this, then narrowing in anger as she saw her sailor uniform tear off his body as he ran, falling to the floor in tatters, revealing his beast pirate uniform underneath.

"CHOPPY!" She roared, her legs and arms expanding due to muscle, scales forming over said legs with a tail sprouting from her behind as he charged, making Ginrummy get barreled over as the unhinged woman took chase.

"Ow….wait, that thing can shape shift?" Ginrummy groaned before a light went off in her head. 'If he can change…then that was Tonny!' jumping to her feet, she went after them herself. "Tonny wait!"

Meanwhile, Chopper was just running for his life, he'd abandoned any plan, and reason, the only thing on his mind was to escape the monster that was hot on his heels.

"CHOPPY! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Roared Ulti, looking livid and similar to a rampaging beast as she didn't care who she knocked aside as he tried taking random turns, but she just crashed through a wall and came out the other side, keeping him in her sights. "YOU'VE BEEN BAD!"

'Why did I ever come to this island?!' Chopper thought, glancing back in fear. 'Ok, I can lose her, I lost all the other people who've chased me here!' He thought, turning another corner, only to quickly screech to a halt as he saw Sarahebi, Nure-Onna, and Tenjo-Sagari walking down the hall, talking to each other.

"We need to find him or else big sis will punish us!" Nure-Onna said, not noticing the figure staring at them in shock and fear.

"Yeah!" Tenjo-Sagari piped up before holding a finger to her chin. "Hey, do you think we could convince her to give us a turn with him?"

"Given how livid she was? We'd be lucky if she didn't string us up for a month straight." Sarahebi groaned as she turned away, only to pause in shock as she stared at Chopper. "I… you!"

Chopper gulped, looking at them, then glancing back at Ulti who was getting nearer and nearer, with Ginrummy hot on her heels. He just turned toward a long flight of stairs leading to the left, and began galloping down them.

"Wait, stop, come back!" Tenjo-Sagari cried out, racing after him. "Stop damn it!"

"Big sis wants you!" Sarahebi let out as the three tried giving chase, but went flying when Ulti barreled into them while jumping down the steps. The dinosaur fruit user blinked in surprise, losing her footing as she and the other three began to tumble down the stairs with Ginrummy running after them. The result was crashing down at the bottom, which Chopper had avoided as he made a semi-decent landing and went down a narrow alleyway.

'Ok, this might be good, I might be able to lose them here!' he thought desperately, doing his best to not think about how he now had five very powerful and dangerous women chasing him. 'Maybe once I lose them I can dig a nice hole while in horn point and just stay there until Luffy comes and saves me from this nightmare island!'

He took a few more turns, staying low and didn't overhear them behind him, so he shifted his form and was about to try digging into a spot, but noted something getting stuck to his hoof. He looked down in confusion, trying to see what the problem was a long white strand of something that led down the pathway and turned the corner. He tried tugging on it, hoping his hoof would come free, but once he did that the strand snapped, as if sensing it had caught something, and began to quickly drag him towards the corner.

Letting out a yelp, he tried to tear it off, but it led to his other hoof getting stuck as his horns crashed against the sides. "Why me?!"

"Fufufu, it seems I've caught something~" Came a familiar voice as Chopper was pulled around the corner to see Black Maria playfully tugging on the white strand. He noted that she was wearing a low-cut, black kimono that left her right shoulder exposed and a turquoise obi around her waist, both with blue and yellow floral patterns, but the most shocking thing to him was that her lower half was different, it was now that of a giant brown spider. The strand was coming from her fingertip, receding into her body as she lifted him up and smiled. "Well well well, look who it is~"

"B-Black Maria?! Wha- how, why, what is going on?!" Chopper cried out, his image of the kind, gentle woman who had helped him before now shattered and replaced by the spider woman who grinned at him like a cat who had just caught the canary.

"It's simple, after you ran off so rudely, I just had to get you back. It's not nice to leave a lady without warning, young man." She lightly teased while wagging her finger as she looked him over. "Oh? Looks like you're full of surprises, care to tell me~?"

"I-I-I uh…. It's part of my devil fruit. Could you please let me go?" He asked nervously, hoping she would be as accommodating as the first time he had met her, ideally before the others arrived.

"CHOPPY!"

Unfortunately, he seemed to have run out of time.

Black Maria turned to see Ulti, huffing and puffing, and didn't seem bothered. "Ulti, what brings you here? Are you looking for your darling brother?"

"No! I'm here for my Choppy!" She snapped, growling as the other girls appeared behind her, the three geisha freezing as they saw their boss. "Give him back!"

Black Maria gave an amused giggle before setting Chopper in between her breasts, cutting the thread. "Sorry, but he's mine, he's just too adorable to let go."

'Did she just say that I belong to her?!' Chopper thought in confusion and dread as Ulti stamped her left foot down in frustration, creating a small crater.

"No, he's mine! Mine mine mine mine mine!" she repeated, stamping her foot with each word, crushing the wood to pieces as she looked more angry. "Give him to me you old hag before I tear your head off!"

"Oh? You think you can take ME?" Black Maria asked, narrowing her eyes as she glared at Ulti. "You're punching above your weight!" She stated as her geisha edged away from Ulti.

Chopper looked left and right as Ulti let out a roar and charged at Black Maria, who jumped over her, swinging her hand and let spider strands out, wrapping them around Ulti as she landed and giggled.

"What were you using him for? A plushy to get some sleep? I don't blame you, seeing him sleep is precious." She chuckled as Ulti roared and stamped forward, starting to snap the threads holding her down.

"I was gonna, he's perfect as a plush, but I was also riding him, and I got to play with him! He's gonna be my perfect little follower damn it!"

Black Maria looked at Chopper. "She rode you? Naughty naughty." She teased while patting his head, making him blush and Ulti get so mad steam was coming out of her ears. "I suppose I'll have to make you pay later for not only running away, but for cheating on me as well~"

"I-I-It's not like that!" He cried out, his face red. "S-She rode me when I was in my running point!"

"Keeping secrets from me as well? You're such a bad boy Chopper." She chuckled before wheezing as Ulti managed to break free and lunge herself at her gut, headbutting her so hard she doubled over from the impact.

"HIS NAME IS CHOPPY!" She roared, grabbing the taller woman's waist, tackling her and crashing her against a wall as the impact dislodged Chopper who fell down and rolled across the floor.

The reindeer groaned as he started to pick himself, only to see the three geisha and Ginrummy slowly approaching him. He glanced at them nervously and then back at the two fighting Tobiroppo. "I-I'll let you all figure this out!"

"Grab him!" Sarahebi cried before he slammed his horns into the ground and jumped down the hole he made, trying to escape to another floor.

"Idiot!" Ginrummy glared at the geisha before she ran and dove down after him. The other Geisha looked at her before groaning and doing the same as Black Maria and Ulti began to realize that the person they were fighting over was missing.

"CHOPPY!" Ulti got decked to the side, Black Maria brandishing brass knuckles now.

"You bitch, you let him escape!" She growled. 'Running from me again Chopper? Oh, you're getting punished so bad when I find you!'

On the lower floor, Mako, who had run into Maya when she was looking for Chopper, was enjoying a fresh bottle of sake as said waiter stood close by.

"Will you need anything else Mako-sama?"

"Yeah, I'm definitely gonna need more booze, and I'm gonna need that little reindeer gifter, sucker never arrived in my room." She complained, shaking her head. "He owes me big time!"

"Oh! You mean Tony-sama?"

"Ah, you ran into him?" Mako looked intrigued. "Did he see you in the nude too?"

"W-What? No, I was supposed to help him, but he disappeared on me!"

"Ah, gotcha. Well, I'll say this much, if you see him and get him to me, I'll owe you big." She chuckled as Maya froze.

"Big enough… to help me get a smile fruit?"

"Sure, whatever ya want." She shrugged as Maya nodded, right for a piece of ceiling to fall between them, followed by a very familiar reindeer. "Tony?!"

"Tony-sama!?"

"Huh? Wait…Mako?!" He cried as the pink-haired woman rose to her feet, only to get decked across the face. "Ow!"

"That's for backing out of our deal! You still owe me damn it! That fucking giant dish costed me three months pay!" She raged while shaking her fist. "You're gonna be my pillow for a month straight, got it?"

"Huh?!" He cried out in confusion, right as Ginrummy landed on his back. "OW!"

"Damn it Tonny! Stop running!" she let out, only to see where she landed and moved off as he groaned. "Do you have any idea how long I've been searching for you?"

"Ow… no?" He groaned as he tried to move away, right in time for Sarahebi to land right where he had been.

"You know, it's bad to keep our mistress waiting too long, so why don't you make it easier and come along nicely?" She smiled, making him pale and crawl backwards behind Mako's legs. "If you're nice we can also finally finish our session you ran out on~"

"Oi, fuck off, he's mine damn it!" Snapped the woman with a glare. "Go take some other reindeer if you're desperate."

"Hey, know your place, this one is Black Maria's newest toy!" Nure-Onna called as she fell from the ceiling, heading towards Chopper.

Said reindeer dove to the side, barely avoiding her outstretched neck before seeing Maya. "Maya! Get me out of here!"

"Yes Tony-sama!" She cried out as he shifted into his normal point, allowing her to grab him and start running away.

"Oi, wait, bring him back here damn it!" Mako shouted in annoyance, long curved blades coming out of her arms.

"Don't listen!" Chopper ordered Maya who ran as fast as she could go while he himself reached in his pants, fishing out a rumble ball. "I'll have to use this when I REALLY need it."

"Yes Tony-Sama!" She cried out, racing forward as the ceiling behind them exploded as Black Maria and Ulti crashed through it. Both large women made a huge impact on the floor, knocking her off her legs as she dropped Chopper who fell from her hands. He scrambled to his feet as soon as he landed, looking for anywhere he could slip away, hide, run, anything to escape his pursuers. But he noted he was in a more open area close to the shore, leaving him out in the open.

"Could this day get any worse!?" He let out in exasperation.

As if the universe was listening, right on cue the wall next to him exploded outwards as Kunyun barged in, looking around wildly.

"CHOPPER! ARE YOU IN HERE?!" She cried out as the reindeer paled.

"DAMN IT!" he let out, catching her attention and making her perk up with a smile. "Oh crap."

"Found you~"

"Kunyun, no, he's mine!" cried Black Maria as she pinned Ulti, using her lower legs to restrain her.

"But Maria-sama, he's my ideal man!"

"No, you can't have him!" She called, rubbing her forehead with one hand. 'Damn it, how does he know all these women? Also, I really wish Kunyun could speak actual sentences instead of just her name.'

Chopper looked between the giantess, the spider woman, and let out a tired groan before popping the rumble ball in his mouth and chewed it up. "You want me so bad? Then try and take me!" He let out, his body burning up before his tiny form started to expand and grow. Long fur like a mane began to grow around his shoulders as his horns branched out like a mighty tree, the once small creature turning into a lumbering, bestial creature.

All the women who had chased him stared in surprise as he let out a loud roar, the uniform SOMEHOW having stuck to him, barely, as Kunyun's jaw dropped before she let out a squeal with her eyes turning into hearts.

"You really could get bigger! Eeeeh! You're perfect!"

"I'm not perfect! Leave me alone!" He roared as he began to lumber forward. "I'll say this once, let me leave and no one gets hurt!"

"Kyaaah! Even your voice is so manly!" gushed the large woman as Ulti shoved Black Maria off and looked at Chopper.

"You kept that from your big sis?!"

Chopper turned to Ulti, bracing himself as he straightened himself. "You never asked, and you won't keep me like a plush toy."

"Oi, don't talk back to your sis like that!" Ulti snapped, narrowing her eyes as Black Maria looked at Chopper in amazement, a grin growing on her face.

"My my Chopper, with so many surprises, you've become quite the ladies man, it just makes it all the more sweeter when you become mine~" She licked her lips, making Chopper nearly blush.

"MINE!" Kunyun ran over, latching onto his back and rubbing her face against his fur. "My man~"

"Kunyun, get off of him!" Black Maria called, her eye twitching in frustration as she saw one of her subordinates clinging to what she saw as her property. Unknown to her, her other followers were staring at Chopper in amazement.

"...Is it bad that this just makes me want him even more?" Tenjo-Sagari asked curiously.

"If I knew he could do that, maybe I would have offered a reward."

'I'm just happy he didn't use that form when I poisoned him… but knowing that I had control over someone who could do that…' Sarahebi thought, licking her lips. 'It makes me want him to be mine even more~'

"Tony-sama is amazing!" Gasped Maya in awe.

"I'll admit, he is pretty interesting." Mako nodded. "Good thing he still owes me."

"I'll show you for being rude to your big sis!" roared Ulti, about to lunge at Chopper before another large form crashed down in the clearing. "What the hell is it now?!"

The dust cleared quickly, revealing the figure, and everyone except Chopper froze as the form of King appeared, with his arms crossed as he glared at them all.

"What. Is. Going. On?"

"K-King-sama!?" gasped Maya before bowing as the other geisha's did the same, Mako bowing her head with Kunyun not noticing, with Ulti and Black Maria not phased.

"Hello King." Black Maria said carefully, looking at him curiously. "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you all the same." He asked, practically radiating rage, fury, and annoyance. "There's been too much noise heard all over the island, and it's not from senseless partying." He looked at Chopper who felt the hairs on his body stand up. "Who is this?"

"Tony Chopper." Black Maria responded. "He's new and-"

"He's caused nothing but chaos." King finished. "I'd wager he's the reason Kunyun has been on a rampage, and there's been new holes in the walls and floors of the castle?"

"He's Ulti's!" Ulti let out quickly.

"No, he's mine." Black Maria snapped, right as Kunyun let out a cry of protest and denial.

"Neither!" he let out indignant before King flew at him in the blink of an eye, his sword held out right in front of his chest with a cold look.

"The next words will be your breath leaving you if you don't tell me who you are and where you came from. I've never seen your face before, so logically you must be a spy." He said, eyes narrowing as Chopper nervously shook his head in denial.

"No wait, don't, he's just new!" Ginrummy called out nervously. "H-He's just a rookie who came here! I saw it with my own eyes, he came here on the boat like the others!"

King shifted his attention to her, his eyes narrowing as he noted the other women who were quiet, yet staring at him pleadingly. "You care about him? Enough to vouch for him?"

Ginrummy nodded, too nervous to speak up with Maya and Mako doing the same, the three geishas bowing their heads in sync. He glanced at Black Maria and Ulti who simply nodded along with them, with him noting that Kunyun was all but attached to Chopper as she hugged him tightly.

"..." he pulled his sword away and looked at Black Maria. "If anymore commotion happens, I'll kill him and everyone who vouched for him, remember that." he said as he began to walk away before pausing. "That includes any commotion you all cause by fighting over him. You're on the same crew damn it, you're not enemies."

"Don't worry, we'll play nice." smiled Black Maria as they watched him leave them be, all eyes turning to Chopper who felt mortified, Kunyun still rubbing against his fur. "So Chopper, it seems you're tied to all of us now, aren't you?"

"Ah…ah…" He let out, too stumped as he dropped to his knees and felt his resolve fall apart, for the moment that is. It was at that time he remembered that there was a time limit on monster point, and that the side effects would be hitting hard and fast as he began to feel weaker. 'Oh no.' he turn and was about to try and leave, but was stuck as Ulti had grabbed onto his leg, pulling him down and causing him to land on his face, barely avoiding crushing the other women.

"No running from your big sis!"

"Not…big…sis…" He groaned.

"And you!" She looked at Kunyun who sat up. "Get off him! Only I get to play with him!" before jumping up on his back too.

"That…That's not exactly true." Mako spoke up. "King-sama said we all had a responsibility for him, so… maybe we have to share? All I know is that if we start fighting, he's gonna kill us and Tony here."

Black Maria walked over as Chopper groaned and took a puff from her pipe as she leaned near his face. "Well Chopper, aren't you the lucky one? You get so many girls after you, but just remember, you're mine." she tapped his nose before his body tensed up and let out a yell, making all of them watch before his body started to shrink. They stared in amazement as he shrank to his normal size, with Kunyun and Ulti falling to the ground, and he just kept shrinking.

"Tony-sama!" cried Maya in worry. She and the others hesitantly moved forward as they saw his clothes in a pile, before Chopper stood up, now barely a fourth of his normal size as he groaned weakly.

"Stupid…side effects." he let out before freezing as he noticed everyone staring at him in shock.

"C…C…Chopper?" Mako let out in disbelief.

"You're…so small." Tenjo-Sagari let out in shock.

"It's…temporary." he squeaked out, starting to feel nervous.

"For how long?" asked Nure-Onna.

"Maybe an hour?" He let out before suddenly getting picked up and squeezed against Ulti's chest, said woman her arms and limbs back to normal as she let out a happy squeal.

"HE'S SO CUTE! I'll love him, and squeeze him, and hug him, and love him!" She let out happily.

"And kill him." muttered Mako as Kunyun frowned.

"Why are you so small? I can't have fun with you like this! I'd squash you!"

"Don't try it you tramp!" Glared Ulti, making Kunyun stiffen up before Black Maria chuckled.

"Well well, it seems we'll all be having fun with you Chopper, you're just full of fun surprises~"

He let out a low squeak of exhaustion while Ulti rubbed her head against his. 'Luffy can't come here soon enough…'
