Temporary parents

Let's celebrate!

"Man, I can't believe Yamato didn't join us." Sanji pouts and rests his head and arms on the ships railings. "Cheer up number 3, remember you still have Pudding waiting for you." Zoro laughs and continues lifting his weights. After the brutal fight with King, his entire body is sore and still completely worn out. A good workout would help get it back into shape. "Yeah right." Sanji scoffs and drops his cigarette into the sea. "I'll prepare us lunch. I'm sure mademoiselle is hungry and worn out from all this fighting~" Sanji twirls into the kitchen and blows a kiss to a sleeping Nami. Sanji didn't even realize she sleeping at first glance. Her head is resting on the ships wall and slightly on her shoulder. Her arms and legs are limp on the floor.
"Nami never sleeps randomly like that, she must be super worn out then." Franky points out, "Yeah, she looks like Zoro." Usopp says.
The weather is as beautiful and perfect it could be. It isn't too hot but it isn't too windy, there isn't too much clouds but still some to block the powerful sun. It was the perfect day after such terror to just sit back and relax.

Luffy jumps from Sunny's head and goes to the kitchen. He wanted to bother and provoke Sanji since he was bored. "Hey Luffy, if you're going in the kitchen may as well bring out that barrel of booze. Why don't we all have one last celebration?" Zoro asks- "Sure thing!" Luffy smiles and enters the kitchen. Sanji clearly has a distraught and annoyed look as he cuts up some vegetables watching Luffy come in. "Wait until it's done to eat." "I'm not coming in here to eat right now." He smiles at Sanji and grabs a huge and oddly heavy barrel next to one of the cabinets in the kitchen. He swings open the kitchen door and smiles. Everyone smiles and gathers around it with a glass. Nami still heavily sleeping. But before Luffy could open the top..
"Wha.."
"No way.."
"???"
Everyone's expressions become shocked and confused. Especially Luffy. As they watch Otama bust open the barrels top and show herself. "O...Otama?" Luffy says and helps her out of the barrel. Her eyes slowly start to water until she start's completely crying. "I-I'm sorry! I know I shouldn't h-have came with you all but I couldn't bare to see big bro leave!" Otama cries- "Hey.. Hey! Stop crying, calm down." He smacks the back of her head and causes her to stop crying.

"Tama, do you understand that we are already hours away from Wano? We are in the middle of the ocean." Luffy says to her with a confused expression. He can't even imagine what Sukiyaki is thinking right now. "Hey, Luffy.. what are we gonna do about this.." Usopp sweatdrops and doesn't even know what to say right now. The entire crew is in complete shock.
"I know how far away we are! But I.. I don't care! I wanna stay with you forever, big bro! Ace left too. And I always wished I came with him!" Otama says while trying her in hardest not to cry. Her fists are clenched up to her chest. Luffys expression shows he feels bad.. "Okay, then it's settled. Your staying with us!" Luffy smiles.
"Huh..?"
"We can't take care of a kid.."
"Captain..?"

The entire crew is in absolute shock and left speechless.
Luffy lets go of Otamas shoulders and walks over to Nami. He slaps her face a few times "Hey, Hey, Hey, Nami. Wake up!" After the first slap she already woke up. But she couldn't say anything because of his repetitive slaps. She picks up her fist and punches him in the face across the floor. "What the hell do you want?" She yells, holding his collar and threatening to punch him again. He slowly and shakily points his finger towards Otama sitting on the floor talking to Robin. "..?!" Namis eyes widen and walks towards Otama. "I decided we could keep her on the crew!" "Keep her on the crew..?" "Luffy you're a idiot if you think we could keep her forever"
"I don't see the issue. Tama has a strong devil fruit power too!" He says. Otama smiles and slightly blushes from the compliment.
The entire crew sighs in disbelief. "No. We have to either let Sukiyaki pick her up or go back to Wano." Zoro says. He likes Otama but it's too difficult to take care of a child as pirates. Especially when all of them have dangerous goals.

Luffy sighs, "I guess you're right" The rest of the crew is surprised Luffy gave in so easily. He usually makes sure to always get his way with his authority of being captain. But he realized it was wrong to keep her as a crew member of the  strawhats. "We'll dock at the nearest island, we still have the mini transponder snail from Sukiyaki. We'll call him to pick her up as soon as possible!" As Luffy announced this, Otamas expression changed into a sad look. She felt bad about boarding the crew, but wasn't ready for them to leave. Luffy walks over to otama and places his hand on her shoulder. "Otama, I think it's safest for you to be in wano. I'm sorry." He says and smiles. She smiles back. "I'm sorry, I know this was wrong!" Luffy gets up and walks off from Otama.

"To the next island!"
