-Chapter Two Hundred and Three-

"Boss, no!" Hamburg, Jacob, and Porche cried.

"So you think he's faking it?" Nami questioned.

"In my expert opinion, I'd say yes" Usopp nodded.

"Crocodile tears will get you nowhere" I rolled my eyes, boredly leaning forward and resting my chin on the palm of my hand. I didn't care much for people like him—people who spoke about taking their own life so lightly because they knew it would get them a reaction. Knew that it made people pity and worry for them. I couldn't stop the way my lips twitched downwards as my eyes narrowed for but a moment...

No, I certainly didn't appreciate this cheap tactic of his to garner sympathy.

"Take pity on me! At this point, I have nowhere to go and no one else to turn to" Foxy tearfully sniffed. "Let me stay on your ship, I'm begging you!" he desperately pleaded.

"Sure, why not" Luffy shrugged. "You don't have your own and you got to go somewhere."

"How kind of you, captain" I softly smiled as Nami and Usopp exchanged wary glances.

"Here, have a little soup" Sanji offered, handing Porche a fresh bowl of soup. "We wouldn't want you catching a cold" he smiled.

"Wow! That looks great—I think I'll share some with my Choppy!" Porche happily chirped, taking the offered bowl as she stood—quick to leave the room in search of the doctor who had gone into hiding as soon as he had heard the four's voices earlier.

"Hey, Sanji! Me too!" Luffy eagerly grinned.

"This is all I have left, I'll cook you some more tomorrow" Sanji frowned as he handed Foxy and his remaining crewmembers a bowl of soup as well. "Something wrong?" he curiously asked when he noticed that Foxy was the only one out of the three who wasn't downing his soup. "You can help yourself" he said in annoyance as he assumed that the man was expecting him to feed him or something.

"What are you trying to pull?" Foxy glared. "It's not really soup if there's nothing in it!" he childishly huffed.

"How about I put you in the soup—would you like that?!" Sanji snapped. "Huh?! You ingrate!" he sneered as Usopp hastily stood and started to hold him back before he could do anything rash.

"Foxy! Apologize before he murders you!" the sharpshooter frantically shouted, pleading for the other man to take back his rude behavior.

"He's not lying—you're not a pretty lady, so blondie here's not going to take any pity on you" I hummed. "But then again, why should he take pity on someone so ungrateful?" I grumbled, feeling the blonde's anger was rather justified.

"What?" Foxy questioned, his men now laughing in amusement.

-Later-

"Where's boss?" Hamburg tiredly yawned as he busied himself fishing alongside Luffy and Usopp. Blankly, I stared at the raven-haired man in front of me—foot pressed against his chest as I attempted to hold him back, not really comfortable with his attempts at invading my personal space. It's as if he had never heard of a personal bubble before with how intent he was to stand as close as he could to me. I'm sure there were some women who possibly found such a domineering presence to be attractive in some minuscule way, but I found it more or less annoying and discomforting.

"Look, buddy, I ain't interested" I bluntly said, seeing no reason to sugarcoat my rejection.

"Come on, don't be like that" Jacob cooed as he straightened out and posed as if he was proudly showing off something amazing and not just himself. "I mean, no woman can resist my devilishly good-looking charms" he cockily grinned, confident in what he said.

"Oh, those poor women—they must have been brain-dead" I deadpanned.

"Funny" he snorted.

"Nah, funny would be what you just said about your looks" I shook my head. "You'd make for a great comedian, you know that?" I innocently smiled as he rolled his eyes, unbothered by the jab.

"Come back, Choppy!" Porche whined, chasing after the reindeer who was desperately trying to get away from her.

"They honestly don't expect me to fish, do they? That's not how you treat the guests..." Foxy irritably grumbled as he took shelter behind one of Nami's tangerine trees. "Besides, if I want something to eat, I could grab one of these oranges" I giggled as he unintentionally grabbed the top of Nami's head, causing the ginger to lash out and hit him.

"She told you to back off—can't you take a hint?!" Zoro snapped, finally grabbing the back of Jacob's shirt and harshly tossing him aside once he noticed him pestering me. "What are you? Deaf or something?" he irritably huffed as he took his spot right next to me, wrapping a protective arm around me.

"No, I think he's just stupid" I sighed, crossing my arms.

"Hey! Who the hell said you could interrupt our con—what happened to your neck?" Jacob owlishly blinked, only just now noticing the faded hickey on my neck as if it hadn't been there this entire time...then again, he did seem pretty self-centered...

"What do you think?" Zoro cockily grinned.

"Don't act so proud!" I embarrassingly snapped as I grabbed my collarbone, flustering at the way his grin only grew as Jacob frowned before giving an irritable huff.

"Should have figured" Luffy sighed, shaking his head as Nami continued to beat up Foxy, causing Hamburg to burst out into a fit of laughter.

"It can't be!" the primate suddenly gasped as his laughter came to an abrupt halt. "Boss, I see the Sexy Foxy!" he shouted.

"You what?" Foxy asked as Hamburg stood and started to wave at the ship in the distance.

"Does that mean you're getting off our ship?" Usopp hopefully asked as Foxy and his three crewmembers now stood on the ship's railing and started to wave in an attempt to catch the crew of the Sexy Foxy's attention.

"Did someone say they're leaving?" Sanji perked up, peeking out of the kitchen before hastily joining Usopp and Luffy in waving down the Sexy Foxy.

It wasn't long before we were pulled up beside the larger ship, watching as they dropped their ladder—silently inviting us to climb aboard. I softly chuckled as Robin and I slipped away from the others, going off to find Chopper who was still in hiding.

"I think he's in this one" I grinned, motioning toward the barrel in front of me as I could already hear low murmuring coming from inside it. Robin nodded, smiling as she gently rasped her knuckle against the top of the barrel.

"Sodium" came the reindeer's muffled voice from inside.

"Hydrogen Phosphate" Robin and I responded as Chopper instantly popped right out of the barrel now that he had confirmation that it was just us.

"She still looking for me?" he nervously asked, warily looking around for Porche.

"Nope" I shook my head as I leaned back against the cabin wall.

"They all went back to their old ship" Robin smiled.

"So you're safe now, little buddy" I assured the reindeer, comfortingly patting the top of his head as he sighed in relief.

"Huh? Fang Frog?" Zoro questioned, examining the Sexy Foxy's Jolly Roger as I snuck up behind him upon rejoining him and the others. "Who are they?" he asked, barely flinching as I grabbed his shoulders and hopped up onto his back.

"Don't know, name sounds familiar though" I shrugged as I rested my chin atop his shoulder.

"Oh!" Nami exclaimed as if she had just remembered something. "They're those pirates we ran into who lost half of their crew to Foxy in a Davy Back Fight!" she recalled.

"But this time, Foxy's the one that lost all his stuff to them" Usopp said.

"Karma's a bitch, isn't it?" I whistled.

"Wow! That must suck for Split Head" Luffy said.

"That's what he gets for winning all his crewmembers from a stupid game" Zoro scoffed.

"Well, for a stupid game, I clearly remember you getting pretty into it" I teased, chuckling at the light blush that dusted over his cheeks as he turned his head away from me and began to grumble.

"Whoa! Is it just me or is Foxy kind of cool all of a sudden?" Usopp asked from where he and Luffy hung off of the railing of the Sexy Foxy—curiously watching whatever was happening up on the deck between Foxy and the new captain of the ship.

"He's okay for a Split Head" Luffy shrugged.

"Uh-oh! He's going to accept!" Usopp frowned.

"Hey! Come over here and check this out, quick!" Luffy shouted down at us. "Split Head is on fire over there!"

"He's on fire?" Sanji questioned.

"That sounds dangerous" Nami remarked.

"Sounds painful to me" I said.

-Later-

"You want to prove you are stronger than me? Then why don't we start this game off with a little duel?" Foxy mockingly laughed as he faced down the captain of the Fang Frog Pirates. "Strictly between us captains, of course—I trust you have no objections to that" he said.

"He's pretty confident" Nami remarked, seated alongside the rest of us on the large staircase of the Sexy Foxy.

"Can you blame him?" I hummed as I gently ran my fingers through Zoro's hair while he rested his head on my lap.

"Yeah" Usopp nodded. "With his powers, I would be too."

"That and he's also pretty sly, so he at least has something else going for him besides that silly power of his" I said, recalling the man's love for trickery. No doubt he was going to do everything in his power to win no matter how slimy or frustrating it may be.

"So you think he's going to use them?" Luffy curiously asked.

"Well yeah, what else would he do?" Sanji questioned.

"Fight fairly with his bare hands?" I suggested.

"Like that's ever going to happen" the blond scoffed.

"Here I come—Slow Slow Beam!" Foxy wasted no time in shooting his beam toward the opposing captain...only for some of the crew to quickly reflect it back at him with their swords.

"Now's your chance men—take him out!" the Fang Frog Pirates captain grinned.

"This is supposed to be a match between captains only, isn't it?" I frowned. "For him to already have his crew doing all the work is proof that his nothing but a coward who lacks the balls of a man" I glared. Despite how annoyingly conniving Foxy had been during the Davy Back fight, he at the very least still abided by the rules of the matches. Not only that, but he never once relied on his to help him during his match with Luffy.

"No need to get riled up, darling" Zoro yawned, grinning in silent amusement as he listened to the way I huffed and continued to run my fingers through his hair.
