One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Three Hundred and Seventeen

-Chapter Three Hundred and Seventeen-

Boarding onto the bird's back, I scooped Chopper up into my arms and tightly hugged the laughing reindeer who happily hugged me back.

"Look at you! You've just gotten cuter these past two years!" I squealed, nuzzling my cheek against his as Luffy happily laughed at the sight.

"Skylar! Stop it—put me down!" Chopper laughed, squirming around in my grasp as I spun the two of us around.

"I can't help it!" I grinned, laughing as well. "You're just so fucking cute—I just want to cuddle you forever and ever!" I cooed before yelping as I was suddenly pulled back into someone's lap, causing me to let go of the reindeer in surprise.

"That's enough smothering Chopper, you can do that after we reunite with the others" Zoro hummed as he pulled me close to his chest—arms wrapping tight around my waist as he rested his chin on top of my shoulder. Crossing my arms, I pouted and nodded before tensing a little as the bird took flight. Softly sighing, I relaxed back into the swordsman as I got used to the sensation of no longer being on the ground.

-Later-

"Hey! Guys!" Luffy shouted down at the crew who was already on board the ship below us—his arm held up high as he and I eagerly waved down at the group. "Hey!" he repeated.

"Told you I would find them!" Chopper brightly smiled as he clung to Zoro's back.

"It's so nice to see you all again! I missed you guys!" I laughed, waving my arms as I sat up straight in Zoro's lap—my fear of heights having died down a bit the last two years. It was still there, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it used to be before.

"Luffy! Zoro! Sanji! Skylar!" Usopp cheered as he jumped, waving back at us.

"Hey!" Nami brightened, waving her arms around as my smile grew upon seeing just how much everyone had changed during these last two years.

"Together again! I've been waiting for this day!" Brook cried as he waved.

"Everyone looks stronger, I like it!" Franky grinned as I owlishly blinked upon seeing his new look before laughing.

"Digging the new style, Franky!" I whistled, causing the cyborg to laugh.

"It feels like it's been forever!" Usopp sniffed as Luffy began to happily laugh.

"Looks like we're the last—" Sanji cut himself off the second he finally spotted Nami and Robin below.

"Hi guys!" the ginger waved.

"Oh no...this isn't going to end well..." I mumbled, noting how the two women had developed quite a lot during these last two years alongside changing their wardrobe—both now showing quite a bit of skin with their new style. Loudly, Chopper screamed in fright as Sanji's body started to be lifted into the air from the large amount of blood that came gushing out of his nose like a waterfall. It was twice as much as the amount that had left his body when he had first caught sight of me. "That can't be healthy" I whistled, watching as the blond went flying off the bird and down into the ocean below—leaving behind a bloody trail.

"Thanks a lot for the ride, tell everyone back in the Birdie Kingdom I said hi" Chopper waved as we climbed off the bird and boarded the ship—smiling as said animal cawed back before taking off. "How is he? Has the bleeding stopped yet?" he asked, now worried for Sanji who we had quickly pulled out of the ocean and back onto the ship.

"Not one, not two, but three beautiful women in front of me..." Sanji weakly mumbled, blood still pouring out his nose and into a puddle underneath him as drool leaked from his mouth.
