The Window Maker - (OCXCANON)

Chapter 39 (Alabasta Arc)

Ki stuck out her tongue to the doctor and crossed her legs sassily, "Hmph! Shows you bird brain!"

Ace groaned up at the old man, "Pops! Come on, give her back! Haha! We're just messing with her."

Ki blew a kiss to her boyfriend and mimed a portal with her finger, snatching the bottle and cup from Deuce. She poured herself a shot and flashed Whitebeard a grin, "You wanna do the honors then, Pops?"

Whitebeard grinned wildly, "Well now! Lemme see... Hmmm," He thoughtfully rubbed his chin, "What has been the most fun on your travels so far?"

Ki hummed and swung her legs, "Well, I have fun with them in general but I did manage to start a pretty crazy drinking competition with the swordsman on our crew!" She rubbed the back of her head shyly, "And kind of embarrassed our sniper at darts."

Mihar popped up from the crowd and chuckled, "Poor kid. That's the worst game to play against you!"

Ki nodded to the sniper, "Yeaaah, even Luffy tried to warn him."

The old man slapped his knee with a loud clap, "That swordsman would have to be quite the drinker to keep pace with you! Maybe I'd like to sit down for a drink with him sometime! Gurararara!"

Ki's stomach turned at her own foolish attempt at challenging the mammoth of a man. She blew out air and chuckled to herself, 'I'm just gonna NOT tell Zoro about that... Save him from himself.'

Marco flashed Fire Fist a wry grin as he hollered, "Who's your favorite crewmate! Besides your brother of course!"

Ace grumbled to himself, "I swear if it's that damn flirty cook..."

Ki gave Fire Fist a wink, "Well much to my dear boyfriend's chagrin, it is the cook. We've actually become good buddies. But I love all of them like family."

Ace groaned but Marco slapped his back with a snide laugh, "Haha, someone's jealous! Any of your other crewmates develop a crush on ya yet?"

Fire Fist shot arrows through the doctor but eyed her expectantly. He chuckled in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, any more I have to keep an eye on?"

Ki waved him off and giggled, "Nah... I did kind of catch the attention of a cute princess though."

The crew balked at her, even Whitebeard was taken aback by the admission. Ace stammered, "Uh- A princess? How'd you manage something like that?!"

Ki playfully tossed her hair with a smug grin, "Oh you know, just my incredible personality. Haha!"

Marco scoffed, "Personality? Please! Is she into ankle biters with shitty attitudes?! Hahaha!!"

Kis tapped her finger angrily on Whitebeard's shoulder and the old man chuckled, "Gurarara! You might want to watch it, boy!" He pointed a thumb to her and winked, "Got a ticking time bomb on my shoulder here! Gurararara!"

Skull snagged a piece of cake and called up to her, "Figured out any cool new abilities?"

Ki bit her lip, "Well, not exactly. I did find out by accident that my portal's edges are actually sharp, like cut glass."

Ace raised an eyebrow and tilted his head, "They're sharp? But how? It's just cutting through space, right?"

Ki tossed her hands in the air, "That's what I thought! Honestly I didn't think anything of it until I cut off a dinosaur's leg with one and Luffy cut his palms trying to stretch another."

Izou sputtered on his drink, "I- I'm sorry, did you say dinosaur?!"

Ki nodded and sipped her shot, "Yeah, the last island we were on was Little Garden. The place was crawling with the big ass lizards."
