Missy

Miss Hallows Eve

Laboon whooped with joy, showing off his new paint job courtesy of Luffy.

You cocked your head to the side.

"I suppose it potentially might look like the Straw-hat Jolly Roger..."

'If you really squint, sure...'

"And that poor whale can't even see that monstrosity on his face..."

You stood by Crocus as he watched the excited whale with the eyes of a proud father. Turning over your shoulder, you raised your eyebrows at the flustered navigator, "But seriously Nami, you mean to tell me that you've never even heard of a log pose?"

She shook her head.

You tapped the old man's shoulder, "You wouldn't happen to have a book on Grand Line navigation would you?"

He pointed inside the lighthouse, never taking his eyes off Laboon, "You can take it with you if you want, it's the least I could do." His eyes crinkled, "I haven't seen him this happy for 50 years."

"Thanks." It was easy enough to find, and you slammed down the thick book in front of your navigator, "Read it. Memorise it. Worship it. And fast." You squeezed the bridge of your nose, "Otherwise I'm not sure we'd be able to survive before you get to the first island. I only survived by travelling on a tiny raft and only worrying about myself; something the size of the Merry is harder for me to work with."

Nami recoiled, "We still don't have a..." She trailed off as you gently tossed something to her.

"Nicked it from that Mr 9 guy. Make sure you keep it safe, those are fragile. I also have a hunch that Luffy and Sanji might break it soon, so if they start arguing keep away."

She ran over to you and hugged you, and started to rub her cheek all over you, "I LOVE YOU BIG SIS!"

"CAREFUL WITH THAT POSE!"

"Food is ready Nami-swan, (y/n)-chwan~<3" Sanji was doing a very good job balancing four massive dishes and climbing up a rope ladder.

"So this is the power of lust. Very impressive."

You smiled, "I see you won that cooking contest!"

He grinned, "Well of course!" He handed you a plate with a large cake on, "This is for you, after all you were the one who encouraged me to enter!"

"Hell yeah!" You glowered at Luffy whose arm was inching ever closer to your food, "If you so much as touch this...I swear to Kronos that I will tie you in knots so tight you'd have problems digesting."

He gulped and retracted his arm.

Sanji stared at you with hearts in his eyes, "I've made that threat to him multiple times and he never listened. YOU'RE AMAZING, (y/n)-CHWAN~<3"

"Mmmmmm..." You took another bite of the tuna meat, "This is good!"

Crocus walked over, "At least you have one person on this crew who knows what they're doing."

You choked on a piece of tuna meat.

"You would have been stuck without a pose." The old man started to explain about the log poses and about Raftel to the enraptured crew minus Zoro.

You already knew about log poses, so you took the time to enjoy the meal. Just as well, because after Crocus had explained everything, one very satisfied rubber boy had eaten it all.

You smiled broadly as you took another mouthful of cake.

Usopp sighed as he looked at the empty plates, "That monster even ate all the bones..." He looked slyly at your cake.
