Who will it be? (One Piece ff)

14. Enlightenment and the morning after

Urgh the 4 don't exactly look thrilled. "I think we should clarify this." Thatch says to me. He receives an approving nod from Killer and the rest of those involved in the drinking game. Of course and who is allowed to clarify this now? Of course me again.

"WHAT TO ENLIGHTEN?" comes at the same time very aggressively from Ace, Marco, Law and Kid. "You know that we sat together in a small group and played bottle turning, right?" I ask slightly hesitantly. "And further?" comes sour from Law. Ok. The guys are definitely angry. Damn. I have to come up with something! I slowly approach the small group. All 4 don't let me out of my sight. "Well.. We combined that with 'truth or dare'." I say. "In short, that was your duty to kiss me?" concludes Marco. I nod to him. "Exactly. I was supposed to create drama in your group and you were the only one who was eligible for it." I say apologetically. "Well, if it's nothing else." says Marco now and sits relaxed next to Whitebeard. Great, that was easy. One is reassured. For this, 3 aggressive and above all strong young men are still looking at me. How do I calm them down now? One kiss? Mhhhhmm a try is worth it. I'm approaching the 3. First, I go to Ace. I gently take his chin and give him a kiss on the cheek. Immediately his aggressiveness is gone and his face is red. I start giggling. Damn, for being one of Whitebeard's commanders, he's extremely cute! Next, I go to Kid. He wanted to say something, but I won't let him come to it. Kid also gets a kiss on the cheek. His cheeks also turn red, but his aggressiveness doesn't evaporate like Ace. But I could imagine. He is aggressive by nature. To do this, he turns his head to the side with a slight pout. I giggle again. Because even that looks really cute. Last but not least, it's Law's turn. He patterned me extensively all the time. I stand slightly on tiptoes, since he is taller than me, and just wants to give his cheek a kiss when he grabs my chin. "Forget it. You can't get away with me as easily as with the two evolutionary brakes!" Law practically commands me. Before I could say anything, I could already feel his lips on mine. His lips are soft and despite the fact that the kiss is slightly demanding, he is still very gentle. Normally, I would kick the guy between his legs now because he kissed me without my consent, but I'm nice for once. After all, I also caused the trouble. I notice how he wants to solve the kiss slowly. I won't let him get away with it that easily now! I return the kiss. Immediately he gets back up with us kissing me a little more demanding. The kiss lasts a few moments. Until it becomes too much. I pinch him in the lower lip. Immediately he releases the kiss, because his lower lip now bleeds slightly. "Next time you'll ask beforehand!" I tell him and walk past him. I am not interested in the fact that everyone has seen this. I don't notice that I'm bright red now. I am pleasantly warm. The result of being red. The kiss was also really damn good! I got almost soft knees and that only from a fucking kiss!

A short time later, Whitebeard starts laughing out loud and the whole celebration continues. But since I have drunk too much alcohol and am not sure whether I will do something stupid or not, I prefer to opt for the safe variant and I already go to bed. "I'm going to sleep. Not that I'm doing anything else that I'll regret later." I tell my vice-president. She nods and I make my way to my ship. When I arrived in my cabin, I take off my clothes. I get a pair of shorts and a loose T-shirt out of my closet and put them on. Then climb into my beautiful bed. The bed is not high, but I am drunk and it is dark, so it is climbing. It doesn't take long for sleep to get me.

The next day I wake up quite early. As usual, I don't have a hangover. This is handy if you have 3 dragon walkers in the crew and they can drink like holes and not get drunk. Slowly I get up and go to my bathroom. There I shower first, then dry myself off and put on fresh clothes. My clothes consist of a short black hot pants, a beautiful, red, tight-fitting top and a black blouse that I wear openly over the top. Add to that my black boots and that's it.

I strap on my weapon belt. On this weapon belt, apart from 2 revolvers and 2 daggers, there are still a few mini transponder snails. I always carry these with me.

Since I'm finally done, go to the kitchen. Typical after a booze party. Nobody is there and annoys you. Unfortunately, there is no one in the kitchen and there is no breakfast. Annoyed, I go to the fridge myself and make myself 2 sandwiches. Why am I annoyed? Quite simply, from my ship's cook the food simply tastes best!

After I have made my food, I go on deck and sit on the railing. It is always a nice spectacle to watch all the drunks as they wake up. At the thought I grin and bite into my sandwich. I notice someone leaning against the railing next to me. I don't need to look to know who it is. "Is there anything new?" I ask. "Except that Kid, Law and Ace were still arguing yesterday or rather the night, because Law kissed you and the 3 then fell asleep on the deck of the Moby Dick and are not yet awake? Then no." Logan replies to me with his typical calmness. Rarely does anything disturb him. I look at the deck of the Moby Dick and indeed. Law, Kid and Ace sleep there. Law sleeps quietly on his side, using his arm as a pillow. Kid and Ace lie on their backs and have both arms and legs stretched out. The two look like starfish. From Ace I hear a soft snoring. It's more like a loud breathing, so no real snoring. Kid, on the other hand, snores loudly. You can't say that this is loud breathing. I could somehow imagine. I giggle and then continue to eat my sandwich. I give my second sandwich to Logan. He certainly hasn't eaten anything yet. "Thank you. There is one thing. Luna didn't sleep in her cabin that night." he says calmly. "Mh? Let me guess, she went into the submarine with Penguin from the Heart Pirates?" I ask. He nods to me in response and eats the sandwich. I thought so. But it's nice that the two of them like each other. At least she had fun.

"Yesterday was pretty nasty." I hear a voice say behind me. Frightened, I easily lose my balance. Thanks to Logan's quick reaction, however, I don't fall into the water with a loud 'splash'. He has a hand on my thigh and keeps me in position. He also eats the sandwich. Yes, of course, I'm also mega light..

Who the hell dares to scare me so early in the morning? Slowly I turn to the culprit. Damn...

"I'm sorry Marco. If I had kissed one of the other 3, then there would not have been so much drama. Ah and good morning." I say guilty. He starts laughing quietly, comes over to my ship and sits down with Logan and me on the railing. "I don't blame you. Thatch, Vista and Haruta explained everything to me afterwards. Izo was also there. Accordingly, I am not angry with you. In addition, you had generally drunk a lot. It's also understandable." Marco tells me. It's good that he's not angry with me, but somehow I still feel guilty. I played along badly with him. "Can I ask you something?" Marco's voice pulls me out of my mind. I nod to him. "It's a question about your past." he says cautiously, looking at me. I tense up automatically. What's going to happen? He heard everything yesterday. I nod to him again. Now it is he who is quiet for quite a while. But then he asks his question. "Were there only warships at that time or were there other ships? You left them out of the statement yesterday." asks Marco. He is very attentive, I have to leave that to him. I sighed and replied, "You're good. No, it wasn't just warships. Until 10 days ago I didn't know what kind of ship it was. But for 10 days I know it.. I found a book on the Sabaody archipelago that lists all the ships. Behind the warships was a single ship, this one was just as big but looked a little different. In addition, this ship was specially protected. That was a ship of a world aristocrat. These dirty sky dragon people think they can afford anything, too." I say bitterly. "I wish I knew what the reason for all this was at the time, why the Navy burned and plundered so much. But as soon as I ask the question, people know that I'm a survivor of that time. Then I'll be even higher up on the hit list than I already am." I add. "I Understand." Marco then says.

He doesn't harass me or drill any further, that's good. I give him and Whitebeard a lot of credit for that. Logan doesn't ask any questions either. He already knows about my past. In addition, Logan is more the quiet and not so the talkative. Marco and I talk about all sorts of things for a while and then watch as the snaps gradually find their way back to life. Logan also amuses himself from time to time about Marco's and my comments on the individual snaps.

After a few hours, everyone is finally awake and also halfway sober. A few people from each crew go about their work and others try to recover from the drunkenness last night. How do you say so beautifully? If you can drink, you can also work! Yes. Rayleigh taught me a lot.

It's just lunchtime. I stand in front of Whitebeard together with Law, his Vice Bepo, Kid, his Vice Killer, my Vice Luna and Marco. The old man sits in his throne. I don't take it badly from him. It is understandable, given his age and also his illness.

We are discussing the next course of action when a mini transponder snail rings on my weapon belt. Immediately my entire crew stops what everyone has just done and everyone looks at me. Everyone in my crew knows that when one of the transponder snails on my weapon belt rings, it usually doesn't mean anything good...
