Chapter 23: Cornered Little Monkey

"Nee-san!" Luffy shouted upon entering the Newgate Mansion.

He needed to tell his sister their current dilemma. If there's anyone that could help his friend without turning to illegal means, it would be his sister.

Especially since Shanks has told him to try and calm their activities for a while.

"She's out, yoi," Marco answered from the kitchen. "She went and talked with one of her friends..." He said in a rather grim tone that Luffy didn't catch.

"Oh, okay!" Luffy nodded and walked towards his brother-figure. "What's for dinner?"

Marco just laughed and answered his question before the front door opened again and you emerged. You smiled and pocketed your phone as you just had a phone call with Mihawk asking about your day and how your talk with Crocodile went.

It went perfectly well which can explain your cherry disposition.

Something that Marco observed and grimly took in.

His sister is not a normal woman.

"Welcome home, Y/N, yoi." 

You smiled and placed your bag down on the table before going to your brother. "I'm home. Thanks, Marco."

"How did your... meeting go?" He hesitated for a second at picking the right word.

This only made you giggle. "Meeting? I just met with Crocodile. He bought a new place and wanted to show me."

"Really..?" 

"Why are you acting so weird? You're so ansty. Lighten up, okay?" You pat his shoulder as you passed him.

You then walked towards Luffy and talked with him about his day--, Luffy forgetting about Robin and Vivi at the moment in your presence--, Marco's eyebrows furrowed. 

He's not stupid.

He may have told you to keep your distance from the whole issue about Marshall D. Teach's betrayal in your presence, he knows you're a protective member of his family with a stubborn head.

His mere words cannot waver your already made mind.

Dinner came then and you were talking to your Dad when Luffy finally remembered the whole ordeal with his friends.

"Nee-san!" Luffy suddenly called loudly which made everybody quiet down. Sabo just shook his head at his brother's antics. 

"Don't shout so loud over dinner, Luffy." Sabo reprimanded.

You just laughed, "It's alright, Sabo. I kinda miss Luffy's silliness." You waved it off then looked at Luffy. "What is it?"

Luffy scratched his cheek with a hesitant look on his face. "Well, my friend has this problem... I was wondering is you could help her."

You tilt your head as your brothers listened in to the conversattion as they continue to eat. "Yeah, sure. I can help. Is it Nami?"

"No... You haven't actually met her yet."

Which made you raise an eyebrow. You were pretty sure you know everyone here but maybe its a person who just moved. Luffy is pretty extroverted and has the ability to befriend literally everyone. "Well? What's her name?" You asked with a smile.

"Vivi!"

"Vivi? Is that a nickname?"

"No- uhh- I think her last name is Nefertiti- Nefera- Neferbini... Uhh-"

Ace knew who his brother was talking about and cut in. "Nefertari? Vivi Nefertari?"

Luffy lightened up and clicked his fingers. "Yeah! Her! Vivi. Can you help her?"
