New Life (Katakuri X OC) ✓

First Mission

Croissant was squirming in her bed, she was drenched in sweat, finally opening her eyes panting. Nightmare never appear much anymore, but sometimes it did. Way to start a day. On a day she wake up from her nightmare, she will have quite a bad mood for the rest of the day.

She curse a bit. When growing up, Oven and Daifuku curse a lot. Croissant heard a lot too, but she didn't really curse, it left a foul taste on her mouth. One day, when the siblings were gathering, the 13th year old Cracker curse loudly after Oven and Daifuku made fun of him.

Croissant looked saddened at what had happened to her cute little brother. Then she glared at Daifuku and Oven, sending a wave of water to them instantly. They were then scolded by Perospero for being a bad example to the younger ones while still drenched.

Cracker immediately apologizes to Croissant, and say he will never say does again. Croissant told him it was okay, she felt that he was bound to use them a lot more in the future.

Still with a bad mood, Croissant prepares herself, then headed outside with a bag. She realizes she didn't have much. She walk to Katakuri's room and knock. He was also looking like he was ready to head out. They greeted each other then went to Big Mom before leaving, but not after calling Oven who was still snoring. Then a punch on the head from Katakuri woke him up immediately.

After going to Big Mom, the three of them went to the dock to set sail. The three of you set sail with a ship with the name KATAKURI on the sail, meaning it belongs to Katakuri. Croissant wasn't surprised if he has his own, she knew Katakuri was one of Big Mom's best fighter, and she often ordered him to go out starting 2 years ago. It was quite a change as Croissant didn't see him quite often anymore.

Once she went to hug him who has just come back, but he immediately avoided and didn't say anything. Only when Daifuku told Croissant that she understand that Katakuri was only like that because he didn't like her hugging him when he had just return from killing.

Before Croissant know, they were already setting sail, after she put her stuff, she went outside the dock. The breeze was nice. Katakuri and Oven was deciding the route, Croissant was only told to 'get rid of' not decide, so it was fine, she did talk to them and ask about their destination

The first thing in sight was a marine ship, Katakuri told Croissant to get ready, she tied her blindfold on after getting her spear. Before she launched off the ship, unexpectedly Katakuri pull Croissant for a hug, "Be careful" he whispered. "*thump" 'what was that feeling' Croissant thought placing her hand on her chest. Oven was grinning from ear to ear seeing the scene.

Croissant launched herself up, floating on air. She sense some off the marine already realize she was there. Because of that, she launched toward the ship, disappearing for a moment before she landed on the ship, a little low because she soften the landing using her other arm touching the wooden floor.

She could sense they had form a circle around her, pointing gun, just about ready to shoot, but before any shooting could be done, Croissant spin her spear and use it to cut the marine ship in half, chaos was the word. When she felt she could no longer stand there, she fly herself up, she place her hand just above the ship, then a whirlpool form under it, drowning them all.

Guessing that was enough, Croissant head back to Katakuri's ship. Croissant landed on deck then pull her blindfold down, she could she the proud look on Katakuri' face. Oven's face was also smiling. They gave her pat, and Katakuri open his arm for her, today was just full of surprises, Croissant didn't expect Katakuri to initiated a hug first, but Croissant didn't mind, it was the opposite, she was extremely happy to hug him. Nuzzling herself into his scarf.

She killed a person, not just one, but many, still she didn't feel anything, why was that, was it because she didn't have anything to lose anymore.. After the fight, Croissant went to her quarter, she sat down on the side of the bed then looked outside the window.

--

The rest of the mission was quite normal, once when Croissant didn't felt any need for movement, she stand near the railing and held her hand up then down to the pirate ship in front, some of the crew were confused, Katakuri and Oven looked at her pleased.

The confusing then become admiration, Croissant had made a big wave to sweep the pirate ship

"Its not drowning, Cro" Oven commented.

Croissant expected much, the wave was big, but it lack force. Croissant looked at the pirate ship and then raise her hand in front of her chest then put it together slowly to the center. It actually created wind pressure on each side of ship, then destroying it completely.

"Good job, we are docking on an island to claim it as our territory and restocking supplies, we will arrive about 3 hours from now, get some rest, Croissant" Katakuri said petting Croissant's head.

The island wasn't that friendly. It was maybe because of the pirate ship from before, they did take care of it, but they were still pirates themselves. But after Katakuri told the mayor about taking this island as part of Totto land, he happily accepted.

Before Croissant realize, they had to leave already. Katakuri knew what was Big Mom expecting, and he was trying hard to help Croissant complete it. She looked at the route and told Katakuri she can finish faster, she suggest going airborne and just destroy any ship in sight, but was immediately rejected by Katakuri.

"You will just get lost" Katakuri said

"Ugh"

"No helping you there, Cro" Oven said

"Then don't say anything." Croissant glared at Oven

It was a nice change of pace from just being at Whole Cake Island, Croissant could feel the outside world of non-sweet air. When she began reading books, she couldn't wait to see the sea where they called the Grand Line was, only being surprised by Katakuri saying that, this is the sea. 

Making her surprise even more, that she is already on the second half of the Grand Line, which is the New World.
