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

The Third Snail - Wait?! What?! Oh, OK. The Fourth Snail - The Wedding

"Why?!" Sanji collapsed to the deck pounding his fist on it. "Why'd I have to get married to a prick like him?! If I had to be married why couldn't it be to one of the many beautiful girls on board?!"

"It was done that way as punishment." Tranquility answered coldly. "Not the punishment I would have picked. But if the shoe fits?"

"Easy now." Nami put her hand on her shoulder. She could understand how upset she was after seeing Sanji declaring his love for all women like that. "How's Tempest and Zoro doing?" She looked over at the two to find a dark cloud.

"Married." Two voices whispered from the cloud. "Guess it can't be helped. But what happens if the bride dies soon after? Can it really be called a marriage then?" Wow, dark much?

"Calm down you guys." Nami stepped in front of them. She didn't want them doing anything they might regret. Might being the the iffy apart there. "Let's finish these Snails before coming to any conclusions." She turned back to the snails. Vivi was the closest. "Vivi could you start the next snail?"

"Sure." Vivi's voice shook. She seemed like she wasn't sure if she really wanted to watch any further.

"Don't worry." Current grinned. "Daddy set it up so that we can't leave until the snails are watched. There also seems to be a distortion in the time line so we should have plenty of time if your not ready."

"Why won't anyone get me out of this?!" Ussop screamed. "Don't act like I've fallen out of the story!" Current just pat his head and sighed dreamily.

"Start the snail." Nami instructed. Vivi nodded and hit the button activating the snail. Instead of going dark like the others the snail began glowing brightly.

"What's going on?!" Tempest cried out as the light washed away the dark cloud around her.

"A gift." D's voice eckoed from the light. "Play nice." The glowing snail broke into several pieces of light and each piece of light shot at at the girls on board. And sanji.

"Oh!" Each of them gasped in surprise.

Tears welled up in Vivi's eyes. "Mother." She whispered.

"That idiot." Tempest smiled as she wiped tears from her eyes. She shared a glance with her sisters, they had seen the same thing as her. "Can't leave well enough alone, can you dad?" Then her smile dropped as her countenance darkened. "This changes nothing." Current looked like she wanted to say something but Tempest glared at her quieting her.

"This makes things interesting." Miss All Sundays chuckled causing Nami to blush. They had shared in the same vision. "It seems that certain people saw certain things. Wonder what he saw?" Everyone turned to Sanji.

"Why?" He stared at the floor in shock. "Why does such a world exist?! What did I do wrong?!" The last bit he screamed into the sky.

"What did you see sanji?" Luffy asked.

"You don't know what everyone saw?" Miss All Sundays asked. "You watched the snails before everyone else."

"Yah but the third snail did the same thing and changed Vivi back." Luffy answered. "It seems it only targets the women. Maybe Sanji saw something cause he was in a dress?"

Miss All Sundays chuckled. "It's quite possible." A bold smile grew. "D is the kind of man who loves to laugh and has a slightly twisted sense of humor. It is obvious he showed Blondie here something he found amusing."

"H-how about we start the next snail?" Nami blushed as she spoke. She still couldn't get that image out of her head. Moving quickly she activated the last snail and everything went dark.
