The Lunarian (Slow updates)(AU)

Chapter 19: Crow's New Position (reworked)

(Crow POV) Location: Wano

I was never one to complain much, as I had a pretty high tolerance for bullshit, and I can let most things go pretty quickly.

However, it's also because I don't want to come off as a whiny little bitch as nobody likes those, so I mostly internally complain about whatever inconveniences me.

However, after my conversation with Kaido earlier, let's just say these upcoming months will be long and annoying.

(Flashback)

"You wanted to see me, Kaido?" I asked, and he nodded with a ghost of a smile.

I mentally shuddered that. A smiling Kaido is just fucking creepy.

"I heard you're expecting to be a father of five. That's going to be quite the handful," he chuckled.

I still can't get over how weird his laugh is. It kinda sounded like someone starting up an engine.

I also heard that Big Mom and Whitebeard had weird laughs as well.

Is having a strange laugh a Yonko thing or something? 

I smiled proudly. "Yeah, but thankfully, I won't be alone to raise the kids."

Kaido nodded at that. "There's not many things that are more difficult than raising kids as a single parent," he said with barely noticeable sadness in his tone. "You're lucky you won't have to deal with that. Raising a child alone can be...difficult."

It wasn't a secret that his and Yamato's relationship, if anyone could call it that, was jack-shit, and it was easy to understand why.

If my daughter proclaimed herself the person that nearly killed me in battle and was left with a big ass scar by that individual as a reminder of that near-death experience, I'd be pretty pissed, too.

However, in Kaido's case, his ass fucking deserves it, as he was a pretty shitty dad and an even shittier person. It wasn't much of a wonder why she'd prefer to be someone else than to be his kid.

I know I sure as fuck would.

"I know I am, sir...why am I here?" I asked bluntly, wanting to get this conversation over with so I could go home and be with my family.

Kaido chuckle. "Always straight to the point. You're here because we need to talk about your position in the Beast Pirates," I quirked an eyebrow at that.

"I thought I was just going to be a glorified man whore" I joked, earning a laugh from Kaido.

"Well, you still will be, but you'll have another role in the crew that'll be essential to our success."

"And that is?" I asked curiously.

"I initially thought of putting you in the Flying Six, but after some thinking, I came up with something else. You're going to be an envoy of the Beast Pirates," he revealed, shocking me.

"You want me to be an envoy? Since when the fuck do you do diplomacy?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow.

Kaido snorted. "I may enjoy using more...aggressive ways of persuasion, but I'm not entirely unreasonable."

Yeah ok...

"Right..." not gonna even get into that debate. "So me out of all people? Wouldn't King be more suited for this shit?"

"He would, but I need him here currently..." he didn't elaborate further and continued. "I chose you because, besides King, you're one of the few reasonable and amicable people on the crew."
I mean, he's not entirely wrong about that. Compared to everyone within the Beast Pirates, Uta, King, and Kaido are the only ones besides me who can be tactful when needed.
