The Lunarian (Slow updates)(AU)

Chapter 21: Arrival To Eostia (reworked) (🍋)

Arc One, Part One

(Crow POV) Location: Wano, Onigashima

Tomorrow was when I set off to Eostia, and the journey to the island would be long, even with one of our better ships. Eostia was on the other side of the world, so it would likely take two months to get there and back. That was problematic because, on top of that, my stay on Eostia would probably be longer than I'd like due to the Shield Alliances war with that Olga bitch. It's due to that I worry about as there's a high possibility of missing not only Uta's due date but also Ulti's, which was something I didn't want to happen because duh.

So I expressed my worries to Kaido, and he, fortunately, allowed me to take Uta and Ulti with me, but Page One would have to come with us so that he could watch over them whenever I was busy. I quickly agreed to this as he and I were on good terms.

Unfortunately, we can't take Yamato with us, and I feel shitty about that, but at least I don't have to worry about her giving any time soon. Still, I'll have to find a way to get those damn chains off sooner or later because they're pissing me off. I'll have to rob Kaido when we return and wait until he's super wasted.

"Do you have everything packed up?" I asked Uta and Ulti.

"Yup," Uta chirped.

"Yeah, but I still can't believe Kaido is allowing us to come with you. You'd think he'd put up more of a fuss," Ulti commented.

I shrugged. "The old man probably knew it was better to compromise than to start an argument with me or beat me into submission," I said with an amused tone.

Both girls giggled at that because it's well-known across Wano that despite our significant power difference, I'm not afraid to speak my mind to Kaido, nor do I fear getting beaten to a pulp or possibly dying. Kaido would have better luck befriending an Admiral than breaking my spirit.

"One of these days, he's going to beat your ass," Mikasa chimed into the conversation.

I shrugged and said. "I'll just walk it off."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head in amusement. "You're impossible."

"But you still love me," I teased, causing her to turn red and steam to come out of her ears.

"F-Fuck o-off!" Mikasa stammered before leaving the room in a hurry.

We all chuckled at that.

"She's too easy," Uta said.

"I'm still surprised she's resisted you for this long. That woman has some incredible willpower to do that," Ulti remarked with an amused tone.

I shrugged. "Mikasa will eventually fold. Anyways, how are you guys holding up," I walked up to them and gently placed my hands on their bellies. "You guys aren't in too much pain, are you?" I asked, my voice filled with concern.

They looked at me lovingly and held my hands. "We're doing alright," Uta replied.

"Other than our backs killing us, having weird food cravings, and puking said food out, we're pretty good," Ulti joked, making everyone slightly laugh.

"That's good to hear..." I said with a distant voice.

They looked at me with concern. "Is everything alright, Crow?" Uta asked.

"Yeah...everything is good," they frowned.

"Bullshit," Ulti said sternly. "You can't lie to us; You're like an open book, so what's wrong?"

I sighed. "Even though I wanted you guys to come with me, part of me is debating whether I should still bring you. Where we're going isn't exactly safe, you know."
