Power (One Piece FanFiction)

Twenty-one

"You gave him a choice between quitting the Warlords or fighting an emperor! He's bound to come here and kill us rather than choosing either of those! Yohoho! Scary!" Brook shouted. Chopper and Usopp were also on high alert, but they felt slightly protected wearing the armor that Kin'emon's devil fruit abilities conjured up.

"I won't stand for this! Have at thee!" The samurai shouted as he swung his sword down again.

"I told you! It's a long story! Knock it off!" Zoro shouted, irritated that the samurai kept attacking him.

"I refuse! The grave robbing of Wano's national hero traumatized our lands! And now I know it was you?! How disappointing!!"

"I told you, it wasn't me!!" Zoro received the offending sword from the dead hero himself, after fighting him on Thriller Bark two years ago.

"Speak not such lies! I recognize that sword on your waist as Shusui! A blade belonging to the Great Ryuma!" Kin'emon swung again, living up to his name as fire traveled along his blade.

"Another noisy night. Who's eating dinner?" At the cooks words, everyone cooled down. "We're having pizza," Sanji stated.

The reclusive samurai had no idea what pizza was, but he knew the cook only produced delicious food. "That must be another fine meal concocted by that good fellow, no doubt. Has Momonosuke already retired to bed?" The boy would probably want to try this meal as well.

"He's taking a bath with Robin," Nami informed him.

Brook, Sanji, and Kin'emon ran up with a fiery rage in their hearts. "What?!?!" The scene was exactly as they imagined, and they all ran off towards the bath with Nami following soon after.

After a noisy dinner, most of the others went to bed.

I stayed up on deck with Usopp and Chopper to keep watch. Law slept nearby, and I could hear and feel Sanji and Kin'emon muttering in the kitchen because Momonosuke was allowed to sleep in the girls room.

They had the wrong idea that he was thinking indecently about being allowed to nestle within the ladies bosoms, but I could feel that it was all innocent.

But he was thoroughly enjoying the reactions he got from the boys, so I didn't correct their idea of him.

As for me, I was too riled up to even think about going to bed. The only reason I haven't taken to the skies yet is because the destination is the same as my crews. I would've gone anyways, but...

"Whoever they are, they can wait."

I spun around angrily, "how can you say that?! They're my mate! Would you be fine waiting?!" I shouted.

Ren stared at me calmly, "I would." His confidence startled me, and he sent waves of reassurance down our link.

I groaned, feeling that he had more to say. "What?"

"Did you forget where your mate probably is?"

I blinked up at him. My eyes shifted slightly to the side, too ashamed to admit that I did forget. I smiled lightly when I felt his amusement.

"Dressrosa," he reminded me.

My eyes lightened in recognition, "oh, right! Wait, isn't that where we're going?"

He hummed in confirmation, "and who is the King of Dressrosa?"

"It's Doflamingo..." I chewed on my lips. "I can see why you want me to wait, but the fact that my mate is there, makes it much more important that I go."
