Chapter Nineteen

The way the bubbles popped were refreshing... oh so nostalgic. 

"Dad! Look at it go." You grinned, sitting on his shoulders as your mother carried Dragon in her arms. 

He laughed, "it is pretty, isn't it?"  You responded by jumping up and landing on the bubble, "fight me, dad! I'm taller than you!" You grinned, though you were immediately hit to the ground. "Just because you're bigger than your opponent, doesn't mean you have a high ground!" He yelled.

You cried, sobbing as tears slipped down your cheeks. "Suck it up, kiddo. Let's go to the carnival."  He responded to your tears, hitting you upside the head before he picked you up. 

You couldn't help but smile. Even though your dad was a jackass, he still seemed to make you smile.

Your hands were nestled in your dress pant pockets, your black blazer connected by a gold chain that kept your breasts from popping out. Ichigo and Mizuno stood next to you, wearing almost identical outfits, just in purple and pink.

You smiled, "to human auction." You chuckled evilly, and laughed as a Ichigo and Mizuno hit you on your back. 

the three of you began making your way to the HA, many stared in disbelief as you wandered past. Basil Hawkins was one of the very few to approach you. "What is your purpose being here, Heart locket?" He bravely asked, raising an eyebrow to look at you. "I'm here to see my friend, and my little nephew." You smiled.

You ruffled his hair, "I think the cards are in my favor today, yes?" You asked him with a smile, and cracked your neck, "celestials are here today, bitches if you ask me." Hawkins nodded, a small smile on his face, "You have a 100% chance of survival today, and i agree."  The two of you shared a small laugh, and you waved him off, starting to walk inside the auction house.

The employees stared in wonder as this Yonko leveled pirate walked inside, you smiled, and found a seat towards the back, near the exit/entrance.

You cringed as loud men came in, his fur coat giving you a hint on just who that was, "Eustass Kidd." You hummed as you turned to him, "It's fancy seeing you guys again." His head turned to meet your gaze, and began to grumble incoherent sentences that contained some sort of cuss words. Killer happened to wave at you with Heat and Wire.

"What are you here for, fucking hag?" Kidd snarled, and flared his goddamn fangs. "I'm here to see my best friend, and my little nephew." You explained, sweat dropping. We're you going to have to explain this to everyone you met here?

"Who the hell is related to your crazy ass?" He asked, raising a brow as he grinned. "What worst generation has the same last name as me, dumbass?" You sighed, and stood up, stuffing your hands back into your dress pants pockets. 

Kidd thought for a moment, pinching the bridge of his nose as he lost himself in his thoughts about you. Dumbass had a tiny crush because you could crush him like a little bug, killer told you. You loved having children as friends, they're so funny. 

"Wait, your nephew is straw hat?!" He exclaimed, "and your father is the FIST?!" You looked at him and nodded softly. Killer piped up, "didn't you divorce admiral Akain-" 

"Dont finish that sentence, just don't." You physically shivered, and walked over to the four who stood. You glanced at Kidd, and he looked at you. "Uhhh.." he awkwardly began, then began yelling as you picked him up and hugged him to your chest. "I missed your violent dumbass so much!" Everyone laughed at you abused their captain. They knew you didn't mean any harm. They could say that confidently.

You set him down once the lights turned off, and you stood along the back wall with Kidd, poking at his neck. He definitely tried biting you once or twice. He wasn't having it.  And then, you saw him. His black hair lightly bouncing as his strawhat lightly swayed. Shanks' old strawhat.

"Oh my god." You whispered softly, and lightly pushed yourself off the wall. "My luffy." He turned at the call of his name, and the two of you stood in tense silence. "Its been awhile, hasn't it?" You asked, fiddling with your hands, "I've missed you."

His eyes widened, and Luffy's crew watched as he jumped into your arms, his face burrying into the crook of your neck as you fell on your ass. The two of you began laughing. 'Shishishi' was enhanced, as the two of you were both laughing in such a way that it blended together. Zoro raised a brow, he recognized you in a wanted poster, but he couldn't his finger on it.

"I can't believe it's really you!" Luffy laughed, "I've missed you so much!" The two of you rubbed your noses gently together as you hugged in a wholesome, loving tightness. Law and Kidd were both looking over with a confused look in their eye, luffy was related to you. It was shocking, really; but also, it wasn't. 

Side-by-side, the two of you looked identical in many ways. The only difference was your noses, his was small, and upturned, while your nose-bridge was round and curved slightly. You held a strong resemblance to one another, which is why they believed this in the first place. 

You were always known to be a small-crewed captain, but boy were you all strong. Now holding four billion, two hundred million, but that was just you, your two strongest crew members both held a whopping bounty of two billion. Although, this  was definitely over-exaggerating your cool abilities. 

There was something that the world government wanted to learn from you. An ability that would be useful to everyone who faced a yonko, but that wasn't important right now, what was important was that you had your nephew in your arms, and you were finally meeting his crew that was getting famous so quick. His devil fruit was the culprit of that, though. 

As the man called Disco began to yell on stage, every one of you snapped your heads in that direction. When it happened to be the one Luffy wasn't looking for, you began to quietly speak to one another. Sanji was grabbing your hands and fawning over you as the rest of the crew chuckled, they weren't expecting him to fawn of someone with your build. 

"Oh, I just have to know the Mademoiselle's  name." He quietly cooed, hearts in his eyes as you sweat dropped.  "Sanji, I'm 54, and my names Y/n." You patted his head, and laughed when his face became stricken with shock.  Zoro couldn't help but laugh quietly as you began to diss Sanji. 

Nami smiled when you bent down and went back to hugging Luffy, letting him rest in your arms as you watched the human auction. 

You were interesting, and you made Luffy happy, but she couldn't help but wonder how strong you were, she felt faint just by being next to you.
