When Rayla's boyfriends left her, she wasn't upset nor did she show any emotions that indicated that it had hurted her.

She was always like that, it was like she knew things she shouldn't. She was very hard to surprise, and when she was, it was always something so outrageous and unsuspecting.

The Strawhat crew along with the Grand Fleet had been worried for her, she was acting like herself, but for some odd reason, for the past few days, she had been nauseated every morning.

They were just lucky that there weren't any people they could fight, and when they did, the Commanders of the Strawhat Grand Fleet usually took care of that, deeming them 'unworthy to see the King'.

Yes, Rayla may not be the Pirate King yet, but people had began calling her that, those that had lived past Gol D. Roger's era most importantly called her the Pirate King before she even met them.

One morning, though, Rayla had stumbled and was out of it as she entered the balcony. Zoro was at her side the moment she lost her footing, "Captain, what's wrong?" He asked.

He sat Rayla down on a seat and he couldn't help but notice that something was different with her, not a bad kind of way, but a... Good one.

She took in a sharp breath before shakingly breathing out. "I think this will tell you all." She said and lifted one of her hands to show a test.

A pregnancy test, and the result said that she was positive. Pregnant. The father's were of to no secret to them now, after all, the only people Rayla had ever been sexually active with was her boyfriends.

"Rayla..." Chopper's eyes widened as he quickly stood up and approached her, the rest of the crew following quickly.

"Was that why you were always nauseated?" Sanji asked as he flicked his smoke off, knowing from experience in the Baratie that smoking near pregnant women give birth to weak lunged children.

"Yes... I just found out this morning... And God... Shit..." Rayla began to curse under her breath as she massaged her head, gritting her teeth. She may be at the age of 21 now, but pregnancy was not in her mind. And she wasn't ready for it, either.

Zoro gave her reassuring pats in the back whilst Nami and Robin gave her their support. Brook making a soothing sound that he knew would soothe pregnant women.

Ussop, Franky, Jimbei and Sanji had quickly moved into action, heading to the storage room where they kept most of the metals and woods and anything that were an essential need and had began baby-fying the Ship, not that it already was.

Ussop had entered her room and made sure that her bed was comfortable to sleep in, and Franky had installed a monitor and a Denden Mushi that connects to the whole entirety of the ship in case she needed help. Jimbei had went under the ship and adjusted a few things so that the ship would be a smooth ride and not unsettle her.

Sanji had already began to get rid of some of the food that he knew would deter her pregnancy.

It was also the first time that they had seen her this unsettled, they knew she was an adult now, but actually seeing and believing was two different things. She was unprepared for pregnancy.

Chopper had been inspecting her when he had asked a question that he knows would make her a bit angry, they have known Rayla for over 5 years now, and they can tell the difference between her reactions.

"Rayla... Should we tell them...?" As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Rayla gave out her answer "No! No way in fucking hell! Those two left me, and we're no longer in a relationship. This is now my child, so I should take responsibility, not them!"
