The heart pirates little treasure

A new member?

Law's POV!
"Captain! Dinners ready.", Trey says as I sit down at the head of the table. I nod as he hands out plates to the rest of the crew with some help from any unlucky crew members, dinner it seems was roast beef soup with mashed potatoes and gravy.
"I do hope you have some set aside for Taiga-ya.", I say, hopefully reminding Trey about her.
"Yes I did captain, in fact I have Bepo taking it to her now.", he says, smirking at my tease.
"Good, I want Bepo-ya to make sure she eats all of it since she is still recovering from starvation.", I reply, knowing the bear had grabbed his plate and hers and is probably chatting it up with her now.
"I'm sure he will captain but for now please eat before it gets cold.", he says before turning back to handing out plates and portions, making sure he grabs his own as well. I start on my plate, knowing Trey had picked this specifically for Taiga-ya and her condition then tweaking it for us.
"So captain, what are we going to do with her once she recovers?", Penguin asks, he sat to my left after Bepo's navigator seat across from Satchi of course.
"Once she recovers we will drop her off at the next island and give her some clothes then leave.", I answer, taking a spoonful of the mash potatoes.
"What?!? Can't we have her on our crew?! I mean...she's a little girl who just lost her family and mother, she's going to be lost or worse, someone bad could find her and do some not so nice stuff with her...", Penguin exclaims, calming down after a bit.
"Hmm...good point, however we will watch where she will be dropped off at.", I counter, smirking humorously at his blubbering speech.
"B-b-but captain! She's just a kid! We can't just leave her there all high and dry!", some others shout in protest, all of them throwing thumbs down.
"Alright we'll keep her but in exchange you guys need to teach her how to do things once she gets better.", I say, cracking a smirk again.
"I bet captain will let you join. If he doesn't, I'm sorry.", a familiar voice says followed with some giggles as Bepo-ya and Taiga-ya come out from the hallway.
"I b-bet he w-will! Heeheehee!", she says, spotting everyone staring at her.
"What's the matter guys?", Bepo asks, breaking the silence.
"WELCOME TO THE CREW!!", they shout, making Bepo drop her in favor of covering his sensitive ears.
"Room, Shambles.", I say, holding up a fork that wasn't usable in this meal and switching it with Taiga-ya.
"W-what t-the?!", she exclaims as I catch her small frame in my arms.
"I'm a devil fruit user, it's the OP OP fruit.", I explain bluntly, smirking at her blushing face.
"Th-that w-was s-so...COOL!!", she exclaims, not stuttering the C like usual. She hugs my neck and smiles at me, glad she didn't end up on the ground like she had thought then spotting the cheering crew.
"W-what a-are th-they ch-cheering a-bout?", she asks, pointing to my crew who had started dancing and partying without much attention to the person they were celebrating.
"You got accepted to join the crew, they use anything to party.", I say, frowning at their ridiculous reaction.
"I-I d-did? U-uh...", she starts, speechless at their reaction and her predicament.
"C-can y-you g-get th-their a-ttention?", she asks as I switch her to a more comfortable position, sitting on my exposed and tattooed forearm.
"Yeah, guys! She wants to talk!", I shout, keeping my voice low yet loud. They stop whatever they were doing and look my way, some in rather odd positions or in the middle of some obscene competition.
"G-guys, I-I j-just w-wanted t-to th-thank y-you f-for l-letting m-me j-join th-the c-crew...", she says bashfully, blushing darker at the attention and hides her face in my neck like a child would with their parents. Various 'awe's' and 'cute!' resounded from my crew as Taiga-ya hides her face deeper in my neck and grasps my jacket, one of which she was wearing herself.
"I'm sorry captain, I'll be more careful with her!", Bepo says, bowing in resentment.
"It's fine, at least it gave me good practice. In any case she should be resting, why did you bring her out?", I ask, taking another spoonful of the soup which was slightly cold but still warm enough to eat.
"She wanted to see around the sub captain, and I had to take her plates to the sink.", he answers, bowing again and saying sorry once more as my crews cheers die down slightly. I nod and wonder why the crew had quieted down until I hear soft snores from below my chin, so I stand up and head out to her recovery room. This is so unlike me, she did remind me of Lamie but I'm usually never so close to a patient...
I tuck her into the blankets, making sure she wasn't freezing while she slept and walking back to the dinning hall where the racket had grown a bit but was still rather soft.
"Captain, can she really be apart of this crew without getting into trouble?", Trey asks, he looked worriedly about as he asked it.
"I'm not sure but I'm sure my crew can answer that.", I answer, turning towards them as they had quieted down enough to hear the question.
"OF COURSE NOT! BUT WE'LL PROTECT HER!!", they shout before being shushed by Bepo.
"She'll wake up if you guys keep shouting like that!", he says, shouting himself.
"Good, there's your answer Trey-ya. She'll be fine in this crew, especially in the next few islands.", I explain, knowing he understands where we're headed right now.
"Right, that's true captain.", he says, swearing slightly but understanding my point as I sit back down and finish my soup and mash potatoes...
