The Devil's Grin - A One Piece Fanfic (Snail-like Updates)

Sneezes Can Be Deadly

Hey guys here is the next chapter. Hope you guys enjoy. Also I was thinking of putting this story into the Watty awards. What do you think. If you think DG can make it then vote and comment. Also we get to meet another new character! Well we met her before but now we get to meet her in person. Yay! Enjoy and also, haven't done this in a while.

Oda owns the wonderful world of One Piece. I just own D and his daughters and any other original characters I come up with.

"Hey?!" Tempest shouts out in anger.

*Clears throat* I mean, I own The Devil. And his daughters are nice enough to join the adventure.

"How come your scared of them and not me?" D whined.

Dude, chicks are scarier than any guy I will ever go up against. Got to give ten respect to cause without them us guys would never exist. First they carry us for nine months then they go through the pain of birth. Then the feed and cloth us until they can find another chick that is willing to put up with us. Then that chick carries our kid for nine months and the cycle continues. Man girls go through a lot for us.

"I've got to hand that one to you." D agrees. "For all you ladies out there, Thank You. Whether you be wives mothers or sisters or all of the above. You mean the world to us guys and we don't say it enough."

Well he said it all. So I'm out. Enjoy!

Zoro stood on the center deck lifting the anchor with his left arm. It had taken him an extra three days to recover. Not because he had been injured that bad, but because of Tempest. She had insisted on taking care of him since it was her fault. That had been his first mistake, accepting her offer. Somehow during the first day he had upset her causing her to put him in a choke hold. She didn't let go till he lost consciousness. It had been the closest he had been to dying, Zoro switch the anchor to his other arm. Closer than when Luffy had saved his life. He had even started hallucinating. He could have sworn he saw a girl in the corner with a lantern, and she was laughing her head off. There was no way he was going to tell anyone about that though. They would all think he was crazy.

"You know," Zoro flinched slightly when he heard a voice he was quickly coming to fear. "Lifting an anchor isn't that impressive."

He looked at her before continuing. After about five minutes he threw the anchor in the air and did a hand stand. Catching it on his feet and began to do no-leg push ups.

"That's a bit better." Tempest sighed before walking over and taking the anchor away from him.

"Hey!" Zoro stood up. "Can't you let me train in peace?"

"I was just gunna help." She huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. "If you really want to do some weight training use this." She pulled a goldish ball from a pouch that she pulled from her shirt.

"That thing?" Zoro looked at the marble sized ball. "Now your just plain insulting me."

"Just pick it up." She rolled her eyes.

Zoro hesitantly reached for it, unsure if she was going to get mad at him for some random reason.

"Hurry and grab it before I throw it at you!" Zoro flinched and grabbed it quickly, only he ended up grabbing her whole hand. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he prepare himself to be hospitalized again. "The ball dumby." He looked at her confused. She looked angry but seemed to be holding it in.

"Sorry." He mumbled as he let go of her hand and picked up the ball. At least he tried to. The thing wouldn't budge an inch. He tried using his whole hand, then both hands. The harder he tried the smugger she became.
