Cherreads

Chapter 2703 - Chaos 4

Ah the ocean breeze, the sun in our faces, and a wonderful sight ahead of me.

.

-------->

.

Nojiko is the one to take care of the hard-on the sight brings me. Vivi watching in rapt attention and fighting not to rub her legs together.

"Ah… I confess I'm not used to dancing without music." Carina giggles at that, back in her little back dress with Nami by her side. >

"Oh don't worry Vivi, I can give you a tune with a song while Nami takes care of that not-so little problem of the Captain's so he doesn't interrupt your act. Although the bitch hogged him all last night."

"Not my fault I'm better then you. So then Captain where to next?"

"If we hit the next Island we'll likely die." Robin's grim proclamation drags everyone's attention to her, her shackles replaced with a single cuff around her ankle, Mei having cut the chain to give us two of the things while she figured out how to make more restraints from the hunk of seastone we had. >

"Oh? And what's so dangerous about it?"

"No one is certain, just that most ships don't return. I suspect it has a long reset time for standard Log Poses and either has little in terms of supplies or has something incredibly dangerous on it." Mao Mao perks up.

"Ohh perhaps its some kind of poison in the water? Something new and exciting?" Robin shakes her head.

"I've seen it from a distance and its a jungle, plenty of clean water then so not all of them could be wiped out."

"Could be a fruit on it or something similar still?"

"Perhaps?" Those two get on like a house on fire.

"No matter what it is it's a good thing we have a way to skip past it." There were no Eternal Poses in Whiskey Peak, if one was needed for something it got sent there but Robin had a couple on her as her position saw her needing to move around a lot and waiting on reset times couldn't be allowed. Including one to Drum Island so we could skip Little Garden and still remain on course

"Now there … do you all hear something?" That gets everyone to pause and look at each other to shake their heads… I look up and feel my eyes widen as with far more stealth then I could have expected a large ass plummets down. >

Well this is going to hurt. >

First thought is to shove Nojiko away, before trying to shove back from Valentine's attempted ground pound.

"HAHA!! Caught you with your pants down literAHHH!!!!"

"NGGGHH!!!" >

It does not work entirely, Miss. Valentine's ass coming down and her penetrating my dick at speeds that leave me legitimately surprised that she isn't torn apart or something isn't ripped apart. Everyone looks on in shock as I managet to keep standing up and stumble for a second, arms instinctively grabbing onto the woman on top of me's legs and gripping behind her head. >

"A..HHH!!!!"

"Oh shit!shit!shit!" This is not the most comfortable thing, her dry, only Nojiko's spit as lubrication. Still…

"Oh shit Captain you literally have a woman falling for you." Gritting my teeth I shoot Revy a glare and then with a bit of effort thrust up.

"W..what ar..re you doing!!"

"You tried to ground pound me but this ain't no goomba. Vivi, Robin… ghh. Going by the way you look I assume this bitch is one of Baroque Works?" Vivi nods while Robin chuckles

"Oh yes, Miss Valentine. I always assumed her tendency to fall down towards anything without thinking would be the death of her. I did not expect it to be a bunch of little ones."

"Ah.. good one Robin!" I begin to pound into her, using everything I have even as her weight remains staggering. Valentine babbling in my arms as her eyes roll back into her head and her pussy begins to squirt around my cock like a sprinkler, The intense feelings and the fact Nojiko had been drawing her blowjob out had me cumming faster then I expected after the immense pain from before. >

"GAH!!!!!" The girls on deck all watch as the would be assassin spine bends back as she cums, as her eyes roll back and she grits her teeth. As with every thrust her screams become less pained and her body looses tension and her struggles begin to lessen.

"Just! Fucking! Give! In!"

"NGGGHH!!" >

With one last cry Valentine squirts onto the deck as I deposit another load and goes limp in my arms, her weight dropping down to something more normal.

"PHWWH!!!" Revy whistles at the sight while Nami looks at me with something approaching exasperation.

"Ah..ah. Nami, Nojiko, figure out where she came from, wind patterns, whatever you do. Revy, take the boat she came from. I assume she had to have one nearby for her partner to be on. Robin, Vivi fill the them in on whatever her partner can do." Maomao tilts her head at me.

"And what will you be doing?"

"I'm going to finish breaking this bitch in." Maomao shakes her head and wonders off.

"I'll go get a muscle cream to help the pain you're probably going to feel."

"Good kitty." That gets her to stop dead for a second and turn her head around to stare, my grin only making her shake her head but I spot the slightest blush on her face before I'm heading to my own quarters.

-x-X-x-

"Well now, aren't you quite the lucky penny!!" Valentine can't speak, too out of it as I thrust into her again and again, her clothes in tatters from when I tore them off. >

"Now let me show you just what I think of you interrupting my fun!!"

"ah…ah…"

-x-X-x-

"Looks good Mei, and the anklets on tight, don't want to risk it falling off and her deciding to do something that will wreak the boat."

"Don't you worry Captain, I guarantee she's going nowhere. Thanks again for giving me a test subject." I ruffle Mei's hair and take one last look at the confined Miss. Valentine. >

"I need to go and check in on everyone else, keep up the good work Mei." Mei salute's me before heading back to focus on her machines and I head up top just in time for a giant bird to land on the deck.

"A ROC!!" Vivi cries out and I vaguely remember legends of those. Giant birds with great strength and some level of wind control. The bird quickly shifts into Revy, burned, bruised, and scowling as she tosses the broken remains of a pair of sunglasses

"I want a shower, booze, and your fucking me tonight. Came down on the fucker while he was taking a piss and he blew that up on me."

"Sounds like you earned it, I'll let Erina know to make you something special as well."

"Fuck yeah!" Vivi is looking at me and a small smile on her face.

"We.. we just might have a chance." I don't think she means for me to hear that but I do and walk over; wrapping her up in my arms from behind and feeling up her body as I growl in her ear.

"Don't bet against me Princess."

-x-X-x-

I stare at the sky, watching Moltres fly through the sky, even without actively using it's power the Pokémon is increasing the heat ever so slightly. Most of the crew had grown far to used to the craziness already to question the giant fiery bird that I conjured up, only Vivi and Robin acting completely shocked, Valentine was still in time-out so she didn't get to see it yet. In my hand I held the Hito-Hito no Mi, I had considered waiting for it or trying to use it on a weapon but the thought of Moltres having a human form had called to me.

If Moltres could go human then she could fight indoors more easily and while Pokémon weren't dumb she could gain some of the problem-solving skills that pushed humanity forward even if the Legendary isn't a genius like Chopper. I whistle and Moltres turns one eye to me before flying down and landing before me, cooing and letting me run my hand through the feathers on her head. My hand not even registering heat from the flames, an odd sensation.

"Alright Moltres, this is going to taste nasty but you just got to swallow a tiny piece. You won't be able to swim but it's not like water was ever your favorite thing anyway." Moltres looks at me and then the fruit and after a moment of consideration pecks a chunk of the fruit off and swallows. For a few seconds nothing happens before Moltres rears it's head back and blasts out a stream of fire, thankfully away from the deck or sails but the heat is intense as the flames spew into the sky and has everyone on deck tense.

"MOLT — MIER SNOT AND KOFFING FARTS!! SO NASTY, I'D RATHER EAT RATATATA DROPPINGS!!!' Moltres cry shifts into a human voice, screaming and cursing as her form alters, color changing, flames shifting shape as well and where a Pokémon of legend once was now stood a dark skinned woman wreathed in fire.

"Master this had better have been … oh.. look at these." >

-x-X-x-

"You are the most perverted man to ever.. nnh… live." I chuckle at Robin's insult, probably not entirely accurate but can't really deny it.

"Maybe, but you're the one whose pussy is clenching around my fingers."

"B..bodily r..reaction." >

My laugh comes out once again and I put my head on her shoulder whispering into her ear. It's been hours since I called Robin to my room and began to play with her, edging her the entire time and watching her squirm as I denied her release time and time again.

"Oh Robin I can read you too well, I've smelt your arousal too often already. Ever since you surrendered, you've run from horrible man to horrible man. Hiding away and keeping yourself ready to run at a moments notice in case anyone tried to cash in on the fortune tied to your head. I imagine you have a perfect sense for people that plan to betray you by now." Despite herself Robin nodded in response.

"I.. I had it down by the ti..time I was ten." >

Gripping one breast I take a second to kiss Robin's neck before pulling back.

"Exactly, so you know that I won't do that." Robin tenses in my arms as I take a second, pulling my fingers away and watching the disappointment form on her face for a brief second before it went back to neutral.

"I want you Robin, every bit of you and the marines and Celestial Dragons can fuck off. I am never letting you go." She shivers in my arms at the declaration and my fingers dive back into her dripping quim.

"Y..you…" >

"Bastard, monster, piece of shit, call me all of those and you'd be right but for those I deem mine I'll do whatever it takes to protect them, to care for them." Robin shivered in my arms and I could see tears begin to form in her eyes.

"Fu..fuck why.."

"If its why I want you, I've already said it. You're a smoking hot woman with a amazing brain and you're a survivor. If you're asking why I'm edging you, its because I want you to break…" No real reason to hide it, Robin probably already guessed the answer. "… I'm going to make you mine Robin and I'm not too picky on the methods needed to do so." I back off right as I say that, ruining another potential orgasm for Robin and this time the tears really start to flow and when I go back to start again her legs spread wide on her own accord. >

"I know you want it Robin, just say it nice and loud for me."

"I .. you .. I want to cum." Her head tilts down as she closes her eyes and says the words."

"Robin…"

"I WANT TO CUM CAPTAIN!!!" I grin a hungry grin, fangs probably gleaming as I pull back and she cries out in need.

"Oh don't worry Robin I'm going to let you cum… just need to move around a little."

-x-X-x-

"AHHHH!!!!" >

I grin as Robin's face breaks into a grin of pleasure, her hand gripping the sheets, her head thrown back and her pussy gripping onto my cock like a vice. Toes curled, stomach clenched, everything you could hope for.

"AHHH!! YESSSSS!!!" >

Robin's cries flood the room as her pussy squirts around my cock, her body going limp for a second as she squirts her brains out. Tongue rolling out and eyes rolling back. I laugh as she starts to relax and give her clit a sharp smack.

"Nnh!!"

"Don't drop on me yet Robin, we aren't done yet." My body engulfs hers as i get low and wrap her up in my arms, pinning her to the bed. I can feel her tense as she becomes wrapped in my embrace before a thrust sees her legs clamp around my waist and her arms soon follow around my neck, face buried in my shoulder. >

"I knew you'd give in Robin, deep down you've been far too lonely. And despite never admitting it you've wanted someone that would claim you, protect you, make you their's and no one-elses."

"N..not tr..trrue!"

"Haha, don't try and lie Robin, you don't have to do that here. Just know that you're mine and nothing will ever change that and just to make it clear!!" I shove her down, pinning her to the bed as I cum inside her, marking her cunt as mine.

"AHHH!!" >

As Robin screams out as another chain orgasm on her part happens, her eyes going wide at the sight of my Brand forming over her womb before they roll back into her skull once again.

"Not finished yet Robin! I might have edged you but that just meant I couldn't get off as well, we're not done and won't be done a while!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mmm, so sore. Don't you know some girls like being able to walk afterwards."

"Heh, thats on you for trying to fight it so much." Robin chuckles and gives my pec a kiss as she lazily strokes me as she curls into my side.

"Mmh so this is how that mark was formed, you just grow ever more mysteries captain. I'm not going to used up as a sacrifice in exchange for power am I, I'm afraid you've assured I'm no longer a virgin so I'm not sure I work for that."

"HA! And waste such a wonderfull woman like you, never. Just remember you can't ever run now, If I don't just pop next to you then I'll just pull you right back." Robin goes still at that and my grin stays as I look down at her shocked face.

"Yeah, with that mark on you I can track you, teleport to you, or just pull you back. No one is ever taking you away." Robin says nothing in response, just curls up tighter next to me and lays her head on my chest.

Take Robin's virginity: Gold Familiar Ticket

[Charizard] - |Uncommon Familiar| - Pokemon - An oddly small bipedal salamander with wings(Not a dragon despite appearances), Charizard has considerable physical strength and is capable of unleashing breaths of incredibly hot flames as well as flying at fast speeds. This Charizard is female and capable of laying eggs, do not ask who the father is.

-x-X-x-

The Rokushiki were not an easy art to learn, let alone master. I'd say that with the training I've been putting into them I'd say I can at least consistently use them all. I'd cream Nero for sure but amongst the lower (actual) members of the CP9 I'm not sure how'd I'd rank. Six Powers vs Six Powers Rob Lucci would cream me thats for sure.

Robin had freaked at first upon seeing the powers but once she got time to get use to them she stopped tensing up, after all this would be one hell of a long con if I was actually a CP9 agent myself.

"MMPHHH!!" I look over at the noise and chuckle. Moltres had decided Revy was a baby chick and treated her like one, thankfully without the feeding habits. >

"Don't worry little one, Mama will take you flying soon once Master is done with whatever he wanted." Everyone is either holding back laughs or actively laughing, even Charizard is smirking off to the side.

"Right so most of you won't be coming close to learning these moves so far but the Six Powers are teachable and they can all really help you. Maneuverability, speed, endurance, and offensive power once you know them. Now whose ready for training." The response is … not the most enthusiastic but me shifting into Beast Form and letting my aura leak helps get them fired up.

-x-X-x-

"I don't know but I've been told!"

"I don't know but I've been told!" >

"Exercise make the bod glow!"

"Exercise makes the bod glow!" >

"We all want to be strong!"

"We all want to be strong!" >

"Kick Marine ass all day long!"

"Kick Marine ass all day long!" >

"Make the Captain Proud!"

"Make the Captain Proud!"

"So we get pounded!

"So we get pounded!"

I watch with a smirk as the girls work out, Revy having started the chant at some point while I was helping Charizard and Moltres work on the actual moves. Neither of them quite there yet and Kami is really hard for Charizard to grasp given the bone structure differences but she's really determined to get Soru down so she can be faster on land. Still….

"What, I'm not cut out for all that. Besides someone has to be up and able if something happens." >

That actually gets a chuckle from me and I ruffle her hair.

"Fine fine… just know I will remember this and so will they."

-x-X-x-

"So what did you need Maomao? Maomao had a goon assigned to her that whose orders were make sure she sleeps, eats, and to shove antidotes and to shove Emetics down her throat as needed and he'll also run messages for her like just now. >

"Oh, I thought you'd want to see this. For you next little hell session, figured it keep the others from keelhauling me." Maomao hands me a vial of red liquid, practically glowing when the light from her window hits it.

"Say hello to my brand new muscle cramp reliever, it breaks down all the toxins that build up much faster. Started off as a straight up relaxant but I had a break through." Oh now this is nice, One Piece people are much stronger but they have limits still and with this they can recover faster and break through them sooner. Wait… I look at Maomao and note how her legs are so limp when you really look.

"Maomao, can you stand up?" Maomao meets my gaze for a second and then looks away pouting.

"It was supposed to wear off by now." I shake my head at the woman.

"Never change Maomao." Deciding to push her a little further I take her chin in hand and kiss her.

"If you can't stand up soon call me, I got to go see what Mei has been getting up to." I leave her be, savoring the blush on her face as I go.

-x-X-x-

The skies were chaos around us, Nami had practically become one with the Sword of Storms and now she was throwing around the winds as she built up a swordstyle of her own, it was rough but with the power of her sword it would work as she refined it. In the skies above fire lashed out as Revy darted around in the sky, my two flying pokémon taking it upon themselves to teach her how to soar.

Judging by the cursing it's not going great but I can see improvements already as she barrel rolls around a blast of flame. I can't wait to see what she can do once we get her to know Rankyaku, if a neck can work her wings will be devestating.

-x-X-x-

"Everyone, someone has something to say." I grin as the girls take in the sight of our newest member.

"Hello, my names Mikita … I look forward to working for you." >

I didn't have to do anything really, when I pulled her off Mei's machine she swore her loyalty and service, she just wanted to never have to go on the machine again and to have her Umbrella back. Still now we have someone to make sweets and Revy can drop her from above.

I'll admit, I almost felt bad about playing on Vivi's need to protect her people. Not enough to not claim my 'pay' from her of course, how could I turn down having a princess dance for me. >

"Ah, Captain is there anything you need?" I turn my focus on Mikita, the former agent looking nervous as she walks over. >

Ever since she got let loose she'd been perfectly submissive, obeying each member of the crew as ordered and doing her best to please everyone. Clearly feeling worried about getting put back on the machine or worse and when she learned that Miss All-Sunday was now mine I could practically see the last shreds of resistance shatter Feeling the tightness in my pants I unbutton and let my cock out, gesturing to it and without hesitation she drops down and begins sucking me off. >

"Ahh… must you?" I grin at Vivi and nod at her outfit, the princess still dancing even as she blushes even more from the sight of her former foe worshiping my cock.

"Mikita is just taking care of this Vivi, I can't help it that your erotic dancing got me raring to go and Mikita is just being a good crewmember, right Mikita."

"MNS SR." Vivi keeps dancing although I can smell the arousal forming from her as she takes in the sight. >

Of course the weather has to ruin everything because then the snow starts to fall and we all have to go put on winter clothes, thankfully we stockpiled over the last few days with the Costume Wardrobe.

-x-X-x-

"Mmh, oh that is warm."

"Don't worry darlings, just gather around me and I'll help keep you warm." Moltres had quickly become the focal point for the deck as the cold affected her not a lick and the heat she put out combined with the winter outfits kept us warm even as the snow picked up and small icebergs began to appear around us. >

"This is somehow more insane then the nightmare that was our first bit of travel." Nami speaks up from her huddle with Nojiko and Carina and Vivi speaks up from her spot buried in Moltres's embrace as the desert princess wasn't used to these temperatures even after years moving around the Grand Line.

"Its a seasonal island, they never shift from their season even if the degree might change and Drum is …"

"A winter island so cold if you piss you have to worry about icicles. Yeah, now someone want to explain the guy walking on water?" I follow Revy's finger and in the distance I can see a small blob and as we get closer features can be made out and I recognize him as that archer of Wapols… Chess I think.

"A bit of fun I'd say. Everyone get ready for battle."

-x-X-x-

Being ready for the battle is the best we can do given Wapol's ship is still underwater but when Chess sees us he raises an alarm of some kind and from beneath the icy depths the ship rises, not out-sizing us as badly as it did the Going Merry but still a huge ship. >

"This looks familiar…" Vivi whispers at the sight of the hippo masthead and let my claws slip out and my fangs grow out. Maomao is the one to fill us all in as she glares at the ship.

"That is the ship of King Wapol of Drum Kingdom, a brutal tyrant who killed or banished all doctors but his own personal force of twenty. I only learned about that when I arrived at Drum and only escaped notice because I was a apothecary and not a doctor and the man was too stupid to realize what that was."

"Wapol, that man. Whats he doing out here?!"

"Last I saw was the coward fleeing while a small band of pirates ripped through Drum, I think there were only five of them but they tore through the kingdom and Wapol couldn't run fast enough. I got on a refugee boat that made to run and then I eventually landed with Edmond."

"Huh, sounds like I owe those pirates a thank you for leading my darling apothecary to me. Still anything you can tell me about this guy?" Maomao shakes her head at my question, I already know enough but you never know what might have changed.

"I know he ate a Devil Fruit but it's exact power I have no clue, I just heard rumors it let him eat anything he pleased but that doesn't narrow it down. Maomao can't say more as soldiers appear on the railing of Wapol's ship and then the fat man himself arrives, munching on a spear with several hams pierced through and sitting on the shaft. Then the Afro guy steps up next to him.

"Oh peasants, the great king Wapol has need of any Eternal Pose to Drum Kingdom, if you have one hand it over immediately." Wapol's eyes greedily zoom over us and while he looks over every one his gaze lingers on Vivi for a moment longer and the princess shivers at the look of interest he sends her.

"Hey, you got a lot of good women on board,I'll be taking at least some of them as well." Oh I am going to enjoy this and from the grins I'm seeing so will the rest.

"Oh you will? I'm afraid that won't be happening!"

-x-X-x-

It was a scene of carnage, the soldiers, selected simply because they were drones that would always obey didn't stand a chance.

"FLAMETHROWER!!!"

"CHARA!!!" Twin breaths of intense flame reduce several soldiers to ash and molten armor.

"ROC RECKONING!!" Revy's divebomb, claws first has the afro man screaming as he's torn in half from the momentum. Chess didn't even get to scream as limbs formed from his shoulders and twisted his head 180 degrees. Nami's cutting winds diced men to pieces while Nojiko shot and bashed any that got close to her, Carina scampered up the railing and slit the throats of the few archers that tried to get the high ground while Mei sniped from her perch in our crow's nest. Valentine handled any downed men that still lived, quick stomps splattering blood, bone, and brain across the deck and as for me….

"WAPOL CANNON!!" I tank the cannon blast with Dragon Scales and then dash forward to break Wapol's nose on my fist. He scarfs down a halbred and sword and combines them into a mishmash weapon that none the less looks very sharp. I draw Kitetsu, the blade eager for blood, to slash the hilt in two and then give him a nasty gash in his side. Trick after trick I let him run throguh, powering through them and taking the chance to practice Tekai or Kami-e to dodge. Eventually as the ladies finish up I wrap it up and stab him in the leg to keep him from running and I look down at him coldly, sword to his throat and I think as I tune out his begging, pleading, and threats.

Now the question was to kill him or not? Wapol steel was fireproof, stronger then a lot of competing material and it was impossible to make otherwise as far as I was aware. On the other hand that meant letting this cowardly little worm live, it meant watching over him and keeping an eye on him and risking one wrong move seeing someone eaten. It also would mean keeping him close on hand for the moment and that could cut into things.

Hmm decisions decisions.

-x-X-x-

"We're leaving him alive?!" Maomao was not the one I expected to cry for blood but here we are, bloodlust looks good on her in my opinion. Revy was certainly looking with approval while Vivi was shocked as Maomao stands before me, finger poking into my chest.

"Maomao, I'm shocked Edmond isn't killing Wapol as well but what has you so angry about him living. I assume you plan to ransom him?"

"Hah! Like Drum would … actually they might if they get to hang him. Vivi, Wapol ran from a force of five Pirates and while they were strong if Wapol hadn't taken as much military force with him as possible or locked up the armory I'm sure the people would have had a chance. And that's not considering, again, he monopolized medical care. The death rates jumped a by nearly 15% because of that, would have been higher if not for a few doctors (even if one was a half a quack) hiding out in the woods and doing what they could." Maomao sends a heated glare towards Wapol insensate form as several goons roll him down towards the cells.

"Ah don't worry Maomao. I don't have any plans to let him go or even make him that comfortable." That got her attention. "During our fight Wapol fused items together, I have to wonder what else he could do and how to use it. Could we use him to get stronger metals by making alloys? Or perhaps we create new, unique weapons by having him eat and cough them up." And it's not like he can refuse, I slapped the Collar of Obedience on him after I kicked him in the head till he went to sleep. Maomao stares at me and then grins.

"So from king to living factory, that works. I'll go make something to keep him docile, I've been wanting to try and make this one but haven't had a reason till now." A laugh rippling from her as she heads off to her workshop leaves me on deck.

"HEY CAPTAIN, COME HELP ME AND THE BIG GUY RIP THIS THING APART! I WANT TO SEE IF I CAN USE IT TO GET OUR OWN SHIP SUBMERSIBLE!! ALSO WE GOT TWENTY GUYS USING THIER COATS AS WHITE FLAGS UP HERE AND ERINA WANTS TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!!" Mei cries out from the enemy ship and I hop aboard it, Erina directing a group of goons on where to put several crates.

"This will be a good restock on our own food supplies, Wapol had a lot of high-class food and ingredients, and I found this among the fruit stores and believed you'd want to see it." Erina holds up what I think was a plum before it was transformed, now the smaller fruit is a colorful burst of purples, reds, and blues in small dots all along a white body. Taking the fruit with glee I look it over and grab Erina to give her a deep kiss.

"Great work Erina, I'll leave you too it for now." Another Devil Fruit although I don't rightly have a clue what it was. Now the question was who to give it to?

-x-X-x-

"So … you want one of us to eat it?" Carina poked the fruit set on the table while Erina and Maomao stared at it as well. I leaned back in my seat and nodded.

"You three are the ones with the least combat experience or potential right now, no offense meant. Nojiko at least has Genzo's training and shes our best swimmer so I'd like her to be capable of helping me pull an Anchor out of the water if necessary. So it's your choice, i think all three of you could benefit from one."

"I would prefer to skip it right now, I can practically taste how vile that thing is in the air. Perhaps someday I'll be willing but not yet, now if you need me I'm going to go make sure our new supplies are stored properly and cook up what we can't fit into a feast. Captain." Erina bows to me after stating her reasoning and heads off towards the kitchen leaving Carina and Maomao who look at it and then Carina pushes it towards Maomao.

"I at least know how to gut a man with a knife, little miss medicine here needs it more." Carina flashes me a grin and moves from her seat to my side. "Besides I'm sure my big, strong captain can round up other trinkets to keep helping me." I chuckle and pat her butt as she pecks me on the cheek and heads out leaving just me and Maomao in the room.

"Well, its yours if you want it Maomao." The medicine maker stares at it and then me.

"You're really giving this to me … you realize how valuable this is and the potential strength it could give and you're fine with the one crew member you haven't fucked into servitude eating it." A shrug of my shoulders to that has Maomao shaking her head at me.

"What can I say, I trust you to hold to our deal and besides…" I shoot her a grin, fangs flashing as I look her up and down. "… sometimes I want to savor an experience." A small flush appears on Maomao's face at the implication and she shakes her head before reaching out and picking up the fruit.

"Well then, I never was much of a swimmer anyway." Maomao steels herself and takes a bite, clearly not doing enough as she falls to the ground dry heaving just after she manages to get the mouthful down.

"ACK!!! FUCK!!!! That.. that was worse then the most vile and disgusting medicines I've ever been around." I blink as new appendages begin to slip free while Maomao curses and gags.

"What? What's with that look in your eye?" >

"I want to pet you."

"What?!"

-x-X-x-

Maomao scurried off before I could actually pet her so I decided it was best to go and see the setup for our new factory. Wapol had been tossed into one of the cells, his crown taken and his fancy clothes in tatters and bloodstained. He's lying down on the floor, cheek smushed agains the ground.

"You hippo!!! What did that bitch do to me!?! Why can't I move!?" I grin down at him and lean against the bars.

"Man Maomao must hate you, this kind of living prison she's made your body seems cruel, she'd usually just force you to sleep." Wapol starts ranting, promises of cruel fates that had me chuckling. Just a fat man-child that thought a crown had made him special.

-x-X-x-

"Right as fascinating as it is to hear about how you'll fuse me with a chamber pot or Maomao with your bed so that you can… hehehe well quite frankly you really shouldn't be surprised at what comes next." I open the cell door, ignoring Wapol's threats and walk over, kicking him onto his back and then stomping down.

Pop… Pop

I stare down at the screaming man-child, Maomao's drug so potent he can't even writhe on the ground in the agony he feels. Letting Royal Aura and Despair Aura out as I lay out the facts of life for him going forward.

"Now then let me lay out the way things will work. You live because your devil fruit gives you value, letting you produce items and fuse them, your continued survival and standard of living going forward will depend on you doing your job well and willing and remember we just need you to have a mouth. Give me a reason and I'll slice your limbs off and finish the job down south and then Maomao will get to test out all her new concoctions on you." Wapol just screams in agony but his eyes, oh the light in them dies to a mere sliver and I know he understands.

"Good, I'll leave you to get used to your new quarters in peace."

-x-X-x-

It took hard work, cunning, and persistence as we navigated the icy waters towards Drum Island but my persistence paid off and eventually I managed to lock down Maomao. >

"Hmmh, you're a weird one captain."

"What can I say, you're just too adorable not to pet. Aren't you Maomao." Maomao's eyes might try to lie but her tail waves around behind her as I scratch her chin. >

"Hmmph" I chuckle as Maomao's devil fruit just enhances what's already there, her act of total disinterest even as she head bumps further against my hand.

"Captian we arrived!" Revy's cry carries out and I sigh as I retract my hand only to stop as Maomao pouts. >

Five more minutes.

-x-X-x-

Ten minutes later I was up on the deck and looking at the villagers of Drum Island staring up at our ship, guns pointed and Dalton up front. I can make out horns starting to poke up through his hair. While my crew is nonchalant about it Vivi is giving me a glare that I note for later.

"You, are you the captain they spoke of?!" I lean over the railing, all guns now trained on me.

"Yeah that's me."

"What kept you then, we demanded answers and for you to leave."

"Spoken like a man with no appreciation for the finer things in live." Maomao petting is now sacred.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Hehehe, leverage!' >

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"But still what has you so ready to fight? We haven't made any threats yet have we?" I look over at Revy just to confirm and she shakes her head.

"Nah, had to shoot one trigger-happy's gun out of his hands but he didn't even lose any fingers." I can see you she's talking about from the scowl on his face and laugh.

"See, look I'm just hear to talk to a doctor about an arrangement I hope to make. Besides I brought gifts." I hold out my hand and Nojiko chucks Wapol's crown over and I toss it down to Dalton who fumbles it in shock but keeps it from landing on the ground.

"This is…"

"Yeah we ran into the fat bastard on the way here. He picked a fight, we won. I think these are yours as well." Twenty goons bring the Isshi Twenty over, bound and gagged and toss them down onto the snow.

"One of my crew spent some time here when Wapol was in charge so we knew you needed doctors and these guys wanted to not be hogtied and left of a glacier we set a fire on to melt." Oh those are some nasty glares heading their way. Dalton stares at the crown and shakes his head with a frown before turning back to the crowd.

"EVERYONE! WAPOL WILL NO LONGER TROUBLE US AGAIN!!! WE ARE FREE!!!!" Cheers rose up from the crowd and I took it all in. Hopefully this makes them a bit less likely to try and shoot me if my wanted poster arrives. Now then lets go see about hiring an old doctor.

-x-X-x-

"HSSS!!!" Maomao hissed as Moltres dipped down though the air towards the castle, not liking the speed we picked up, and she burrowed into my chest while Nami squealed in glee and held on tightly from behind.

"Mol!!" With a cry Moltres lands down in the courtyard and then slips into her human form after we disembark. I call Charizard out and pass Moltres the Sponge.

"Alright Moltres can you two go melt some ice and work on filling this sponge up for me."

"Of course Master, it will be a breeze with the two of us. It will also be interesting to fly under another's power." Charizard shakes her head and bends down, letting the legendary pokémon climb on her back and then takes off, Moltres' cries of joy ringing out.

"Alright doesn't look like anyone's home, guess we'll have to wait for the doctor to get back. Nami remember that we want them to like us so no stealing."

"Hmmph, so mean. Fine I'm going to go see if I can hunt down some maps to copy though." Nami pout drops off at the thought of new maps and she wanders off leaving me and Maomao to wander inside and out of the cold. We eventually find a sitting room of some kind

"Right so Maomao anything you want to do while …." I stop and look at Maomao who's taken up a pose, hands hidden by her sleves and a knowing, smug smirk on her face as her ears and tail slip into existence. >

"Something wrong Captain or do you prefer Meow-ster." Oh someone wants to play with fire.

-x-X-x-

"Whose a good girl, whose my pretty little kitty." I was enjoying taking my time, teasing and playing with Maomao as she slowly sunk into the quagmire of lust and depravity that was my crew but if she want's to speedrun it who am I to disagree. >

"Me..Meow.."

"Hmm, that's right, your my adorable little Xiaomao. Hmm, oh too bad we'll have to end here. Looks like the doctor's are returning." I can hear them coming up and so I let Maomao go, taking in her disappointment. Her bitting her bottom lip, legs pressed together, red cheeks and heavy breath.

"Y..yes that would be for the best." Maomao gets out and we go to meet the doctors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well if it isn't little Maomao, never thought I'd see you again. Chopper meet Maomao one of the best medicine makers this side of the Grand Line." >>

"H..hello." Maomao actually looked pleased at the praise.

"It's been a while Kureha, this is my new Captain, Edmond." I nod at her.

"Pleasure to meet you, Maomao mentioned your skills and I was hoping to come to an agreement."

"Oh, someone on your crew need treatment? Because I don't take any less then what I'm worth so either pay up or move on." I shake my head and note Chopper looking at me in interest.

"No, no one's injured right now. What I was hoping to do was put you on retainer." Kureha looks at me with a stern look and her tone turns cold.

"I hope you don't plan on trying to sail back for every injury, thats one of the stupidest ideas I've heard of and you'll more likely lose every member that you want so to save."

"Oh I agree that would be a horrible idea, but no I'd bring you to us and then send you back as needed."

"Oh and how would you do that." I smirk at her and reach out with Branding, finding my connection to Revy and tugging.

"Another bottle Ba… Oh man Captain that felt weird." Kureha looks on in comprehension while Chopper has shifted back to his base form with stars in his eyes.

"Sorry about that Revy, I'll make it up to you later but I needed a demonstration." Revy waves it off and shifts into full-beast form and taking off to make her way back to the village. "As you see I can easily bring you to me and I have ways to send you back. On top of that I heard a group of pirates gave you a lot of trouble before, I can come back here in a flash with a single call and help out if such a thing happens again."

"And you got the muscle to back that up?"

"I watched him beat Guile, Kureha and he's only gotten stronger. Plus he keeps his word, my captain is many things but an oath breaker is not one of them."

"Hmm, well Maomao's clearly behind you and Guile was a tough one. Only reason I think he ran was because he knew the numbers were too much against him with Wapol and his men fleeing like cowards. What else you offering since this already sounds too good to be true? The fountain of youth?" I pull out a small bag of pills and grin.

"More like the Pills of Youth, one pill turns the clock back one year." Kureha looks at me like I'm insane and looks at Maomao who shrugs.

"I never tried one, all of our crew is pretty young so none of us wish to test it but I did a few tests and it doesn't seem poisonous at least." Kureha looks at Maomao and then looks at me.

"Just because I'm an old lady doesn't mean I want to relive my youth that badly."

"Perhaps, but what about Drum? Right now from what I hear the only medical care they have is you and Chopper here."

"You know … "

"I can smell the disinfectant, medicine, and a lot of other stuff coming off you kid. You're clearly a doctor or at least in training."

"But… but you don't think I'm a monster." In a flash fur and fangs come out and I'm looming over Chopper.

"Trust me kid, I see a monster in the mirror every day. You aren't one." Chopper looks up at me with tears in his eyes and nods as I shift back into human form.

"Right so thats two doctors and we gave the Isshi-20 back when we arrived…"

"Wait those cowards! Does that mean?"

"Wapol is never going to be a threat to you again."

"Dad.." Chopper lets out and I Kureha grins

"… Now If I can finish, that means this island has two good doctors and twenty cowards that will probably never be trusted again. Not to mention the legacy of this island could die out as a place of medical knowledge. Extra years could give you time to build that back up again." Kureha looks at me and sighs.

"Alright give me a pill, I'm going to do my own tests and if I'm satisfied I'll try it. If it works or not I'm willing to go on retainer as well, just know I'll expect some payment for each call. Got to make ends meet after all."

-x-X-x-

"Wow, I actually forgot how it felt to move about when I was this young. Hehe you're going to have to call me Big Sis Kureha now Chopper." >

"Doctorine!!!" Chopper launched himself at the doc and she cradled him to her chest.

"Now then what's it take for you to teleport?" I hold out a hand and she takes it, I get a little cheeky and give her the brand as a tramp stamp but from the look in her eyes she finds it humorous as well. >

"Now I can jump to you or bring you to me and I have one of our flyers fly you back home."

"I can work with that… now Maomao you've eaten a zoan fruit haven't you?"

"Yes, I haven't had a lot of time to work with it though."

"Hmm, and you have that bird woman as well. Alright time for a quick lesson then, Zoans metabolisms mean they can burn through drugs quickly so lets make sure your up to date on dosages for those circumstances. As for you Edmond since you seem to have all the answers think you can open up some heavy duty doors for me?"

"We also brought our lockpick expert with us, she's our navigator so she's currently roaming around looking for maps."

"Ahh I'll show her the ones I have if she hasn't found them yet."

-x-X-x-

It was late when we got back, Nami with several copies of various maps the kingdom had collected over the years and Maomao with a notebook full of information on proper dosages and things that went over my head. The celebrations of the villagers had calmed down to a steady thrum now, still ongoing but not insane. The Isshi-20 were no where to be seen but they weren't dangling from nooses so I suppose they lived for now.

Moltres and Charizard had apparently hit multiple mountains and melted tons of ice and snow to give a nice amount of water in the sponge and now Moltres was out there enjoying the celebration while Charizard was rewarded with a plate of meat from Erina. Once that was done my focus then turned on Vivi, the blue-haired princess watching the celebrations from the deck, completely unaware that I was right behind her till my arm was around her shoulder.

"What's got … ah I get it. Don't worry princess, we'll give your people a similar reason to celebrate." Vivi stares at me in shock and then gives me a smile as she shakes her head.

"You really are more intelligent then I give you credit for at times. My people, I doubt it's changed since i left but they haven't had a reason to celebrate for a while. For a time I was worried the next time they celebrated it would be over my family being overthrown with how things were going but now.. now I feel we have a chance." I grin and then let my hand drift down her back, stopping at her ass and palming it, her face growing red as I lowered my head to her ear.

"Don't forget though, I don't work for free. Not to mention you gave me a pretty nasty glare earlier, don't forget this is my ship princess and I take discipline seriously." Vivi trembles in my arms but I can smell the arousal starting to leak from her and with a laugh I throw her over my shoulder and head to my quarters.

-x-X-x-

"Mmmh."

"That's it, keep sucking on that cock. You got to get deeper though."

"YS CPTN MGGH!" >

As Vivi mumbles around my cock I push her head down more and take a lap at her dripping cunt, the princess tasting sweeter then I expected. Vivi shivers on top of me and I sigh as she start to pull back again.

'SMACK' 'SMACK'

"HMM!!" >

"Come on Vivi, you can do better then that. I know you can." As one hand spanks the other reaches up and toys with her slit, stimulating her without pushing her too close to release. Vivi redoubles her efforts, not able to get further down she picks up the pace on her ministrations, sucking harder and her tongue circling what she can swallow even as I edged and spanked her. >

"Come on Vivi, you don't want to fail in making a payment do you."

"N SR!" Vivi's response was swift and she began to practically hump my body, tits smushed and rubbing against my legs, smooth stomach against my abs, the princess put everything into it as she suckled at my cock. My cock twitched at the effort and vigor and soon Vivi's hard work was rewarded with both my own release and one hard lap up her pussy letting her have her own release.

"Don't swallow yet Vivi!" >

Picking her up I set her down on the floor on her knees, taking in the sight before me. The strong and steel-spined Princess Nefertari Vivi, panting in arousal, a small puddle forming beneath her as she visibly savored my cum. >

"Alright Vivi, you can swallow now"

"GLP!" Vivi swallowed the load, never wavering and in one smooth motion. Then without prompting she opened her mouth to show only faint remenants and what ever leaked onto her face remained. >

"Ahh, thank you Sir. May this grateful princess do anything more for you?"

-x-X-x-

A small creak catches my attention before I can respond and I move to the door, pulling it open to find a small green cat looking up at me. Well looks like curiosity hit the cat hard. Snatching Maomao by the scruff I walk back over to Vivi and un-cuff her, handing her a towel as she takes off her blindfold.

"You'll be staying with me tonight Vivi." Vivi nods as she wipes her face off, eagerness pooling off her.

"I..if that is what you…" Her response dies off as she removes the towel and stares at the cat in my hands.

"Well, come on Vivi."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hmm, thats perfect pillows." Said pillows squirm as Vivi wiggles in embarrassment. Maomao, having quickly stopped trying to escape, curled up between us.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I … I am crumbling. I was prepared for the humiliation and embarrassment, I was prepared … okay I thought I could bear the sexual payment that would be claimed of me by a monster who saw me a piece of meat. My biggest worry should have been would his word be kept.

But now my biggest worry is the fact I crave more, the fact this monster isn't one to his own, the fact that I'm angry at Maomao for preventing us from possibly going further.

My virginity, already promised to this man and instead of dread I feel excited for the moment to come. Not just because it will mean Crocodile is no longer a threat to my people but because the thought excites me and if he had told me to spread my legs so he could claim his prize early I don't think I could have done anything but obey.

And now this monster, this predator that carves through men and claims any woman he fancies, is sleeping like a light using me as a pillow and snuggling a cat (even if it's Maomao, someone I thought managed to escape his pull only for this to prove me wrong) and it only makes him more appealing because if it wasn't for the cat I could be the one held closely and ….

My thought process catches up to me and realize just what Edmond is like. He's a sand pit, hidden in plain sight until you step too close and he pulls you in, even worse he manages to make it so you struggle not to escape but so you're pulled in even deeper.

And I'm not sure if someone came along and threw me a rope I'd grab it.

-x-X-x-

I woke up to a several knocks on the door and got up, placing Maomao on Vivi and opening the door to find Mikita at the door.

"Captain, I saw something while on watch, it headed up the coast a little and I couldn't make it out but it wasn't any iceberg or something natural." Her eyes drift downwards as we speak and I grin as I turn around to go get dressed.

"All right, sounds like Drum has more visitors. I'll go check it out; you get the others awake and ready just in case more show up." Putting on my clothes I shake Vivi awake.

"Mmh.. ysss?"

"Someone just showed up, possibly nothing but they made a point of not docking here. Going to go and check it out but you all should get ready just in case."

"Mkay." Vivi starts getting up as I walk out the door, Maomao hissing as she's dumped on the bed. >

-x-X-x-

White Tiger Form blended into my beast form, Adept Stealth telling me now to move to avoid the moonlight hitting me, and the Wraith keeping an eye out in front of me ensured I was all but invisible as I crept towards where the vessel was supposed to have been heading. Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek's presence confirmed by the smell of paint in the air growing stronger as I creep forward, a statue of a Lapahn mid roar out in the open a good reminder of how dangerous the Wax-Wax Fruit can be. Eventually voices carry towards me on the wind.

"… must have paid them or something. The ships just sitting there but no corpses or burning buildings."

"Indeed, given the damage Drum's supposed to have occurred recently I suppose they aren't picky about where their gold is coming from. Perhaps we can use that ourselves, I know I saw Miss Valentine aboard the ship, either she's gone traitor as well or…"

"Devil Fruit, something like my paint, or perhaps the rare doppleganger." I slow to a crawl and the scent of cooking meat hits my nose as I find a little clearing in the woods, not to far from the shore with a gutted deer hanging from a tree, an impressive rack and a scar on its forehead visible. Heh, little bonus to my day then. I tense up, calling upon Fire Claws and Infernal Engine and let the flames and flash into existence as I lunge.

Mr. 3 saw me coming at the last second, the fire making my form far more distinct but his hastily thrown up wax shield melted in seconds and my claws took him in the throat, cleaving their way through and sending his head falling to the ground beside his feet in seconds. Calling off the flames I lash out and smack the pallet of paint away from Miss Goldenweek, the young woman staring at me wide eyed before her eyes jump to the corpse beside me and back to me. Her hands raise up in surrender and I shift back to something more human.

"Baroque works correct, consider this your invitation to jump …."

"I agree." I pause and tilt my head at her, she picks up the cue and keeps talking.

"I joined for protection, if you can keep me safe then I have no qualm putting myself under your control so long as I can still paint."

"Oh good, I'm a pirate through and through but killing kids isn't something I want to do."

"I'm not a kid, I'm 18 I just haven't grown much." A hint of anger leaks into her voice and just as quickly leaves as she realizes who she's directing it at.

"Oh, well then guess the initiation is still on then."

"Initiation?" The tremor in her voice at my grin gets me just a bit more excited for whats to come.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hmm, Mei really does good work."

.

To say I went to town on Miss Goldenweek was an understatement. After an hour on the wooden horse I let her go and slammed into her soaking cunt, claiming her virginity and filling letting her screams ring out. Her small, light body a treat as she clenched down on my cock, her small body extra tight and eager to milk my seed out. >

From there I just allowed myself to run wild, barely mindful of Goldenweek's relative fragility. >>>

When the thought to brand her came to mind any trace of resistance was gone. Her body limp in my arms as she leaked onto the floor. >

"Welcome to the crew, now whats your real name."

"M..marianne."

Thankfully once we set sail from Drum Island the weather quickly got back to it's unpredictable nature but it wasn't always freezing! I've always been a shirtless kind of guy in this life and whenever possible I'm sticking to that.

It also meant that Vivi could preform her dancing duties once again and a change was noticeable now. Her embarrassment was still noticeable but it no longer colored her every movement, she was almost eager in her dancing, her movements far more fluid and sensual.

"You've gotten ever better since we started Vivi. It's going to be a shame to lose this sight once we've dealt with Crocodile." Vivi doesn't respond her eyes down on my erection bulging against my pants. I can smell the arousal that forms and watch as she dances forward till she's right in front of me. Something in her eyes changing as she spread her legs and her fingers reaching down to show off her pink, untouched pussy. Embarrassment coming back across her face even as her lust is clear. >

"Ah Captain Edmond, in light of your already preformed service in depriving Baroque works of their officer agents and therefore reducing their threat to my people. I would be open to a d..down payment." Oh it's tempting, oh so tempting but we made a deal and quite frankly I like watching Vivi squirm.

"As much as I'd love to accept Princess our deal was just for Crocodile's head and honestly I've gotten my reward with each agent brought under my control." I get up and pull her close, placing my mouth right next to her ear.

"But don't you worry, once we skin a croc I'll take everything you're offering and more." Vivi's face turns bright red, and she bites her lip in an adorable manner.

"Ah… I was thinking about that.. our deal was for Crocodile only, the rest of his men were implied only… I was hoping to negotiate an extension of our deal to include aiding in the subjugation of at least the majority of his forces." I was honestly curious about where she was taking this.

"Oh, and what are you offering?"

-x-X-x-

Vivi was a horny girl, she didn't outright say what she was offering and instead got down on her knees and began sucking on my cock. Getting it lubed up before she stood back up and performed a standing split to show off her winking backdoor.

"In exchange for your guaranteed aid in ensuring the majority of Baroque works falls I can give you my other hole now. I.. I know this appeals to many and I'm not opposed so ..AHH!!!" >

"Deal accepted!" Vivi doesn't respond, her starting to roll back into her head as she claws at the wall. My own skill making sure I keep this pleasurable for her as I took her from behind.

"W..wonderful no..w FUCK ME!!" Vivi's control leaves as I begin to move, plundering her backdoor as she shakes. >

"Ah.. yes!! I.. I must give it all for my kingdom, it's just an added benefit to enjoy this."

"Vivi, you don't have to lie to me." She tenses up as I stop moving for a second.

"Oh I'm sure you'd have done this for anyone if it saved your people, you're far too kind like that, but you know I'd have fought the rest of Baroque just for the thrill if Crocodile didn't use them all as meatshields. You made this deal as an excuse to get fucked. You wanted this personally, so how about you just admit it Princess." Vivi stares at me and the nnods.

"Ye..yes I wanted your cock inside me! I wanted you to fuck me; I don't care if I'm playing out some bodice ripper stereotype; just fuck me and stop this heat that's constantly building up in me!" >

Watching Vivi let go of all control is more then enough to have me cum, the princess squirting as my load is packed inside her, scrabbling at the wall to stay upright until I push forward more to keep her pinned.

"Ah..ah.. another round Edmond?"

-x-X-x-

"Why am I here?" I look down at Maomao in my lap and pet her head, her ears not out but the motion already so built in.

"Don't cats like fish?"

"I will scratch you." I laugh and keep petting Maomao as my Super Rod (it even came with a Misty lure like the anime) rests in a stand next to us.

"Ahh, is someone upset they don't get access to their favorite pillows all the time." That gets a blush from Maomao as she recalls how I found her after I came back with with Marianne. >

"Hey no judgement, the royal pillows are hard to resist."

"Please stop talking." I do as the line starts to twitch and I grab onto it.

"Oh looks like we got a bite." Maomao sighs and crawls off my lap as I stand up and start to pull. Whatever's on the end putting up quite a fight before I mange to get it to surface.

"What the hell?" Okay I know Sea Beasts are a thing here but seeing them in person… look a Sea Mouse just looks off.. or is it a Sea Rat? Either way Maomao is now clutching the railing and looking down with interest.

-x-X-x-

The Sea Rat, because those teeth just scream rat, put up a fight but I managed to haul it up and out of the water. MaoMao was actually the one to pin it down on the deck, leaping on it and forcing it down so that I could lash out and sever it's jugular… which it has. Fuck these things biology is a nightmare to try and puzzle out.

-x-X-x-

Despite my hedonism I usually try to keep from getting distracted from some duties, such as when I take a shift in the crow's nest. Sometimes you just want a couple hours to yourself after all. Still when Revy flew up, bent over and pulled her shorts down I didn't exactly fight it when she went ahead and voiced her desire.

"Fuck, come on Captain! I've been waiting for a good fuck for a bit now." Revy growled at me >

"Ah! Oh fuck that's what i needed! I… SHIT!FUCKMOTHERING!!!" Revy's sting of cursing has me stop as she pulls forward off my cock and starts fixing her clothes. Looking in the direction she was I quickly make out what she saw.

A ship was floating nearby, a skull with crossed rapiers on the flag, starting to turn in our direction.

"Well then, looks like we got company." I hit the bell hanging nearby and drop down to the deck, using the rigging to slow my fall as I go. Revy gliding down alongside me.

"Alright people, we bogies of the port side and they've spotted us. Vivi, Robin you mentioned that Crocodile should have around two thousand millions and billions put together. How do you think he's deployed them if they've all been recalled by now?" Because Robin was certain of one thing, a general recall was in the works before everything started to go sideways for them, now a hurried recall would have been put into effect and each remaining member should be if not already in Alabasta then making their way there as quickly as possible.

"I imagine he'd put a mix of billions and millions on a blockade, a half dozen ships or so that remain close enough to signal one another with flares like so…" Robin gesturing to the red flares that shot up in a pattern off the ship that's now in sight of even those with normal vision. "But most will be focused on being ready to support, hamper, or eliminate anyone that Crocodile desires." I nod and Vivi bites her lip, Robin had given us what she knew of Crocodile's most likely plans including Mr. 2's devil fruit and her suspicions of a massive bomb. The thought of a few thousand of Crocodile's minions running around was another complication to the matter, especially given how crews that size weren't usually thought of outside of Emperors.

"Right then. Revy, how do you feel about orbital bombardments." Revy grins and after going full beast takes two cannonballs and flies up into the sky.

"Hey Captain, we got another two ships coming this way from the starboard side." Mei's cry gets my attention and I look that way, noting another starting to trail us from behind. as well. Croc clearly planned this out well, far enough that most wouldn't see them all at once but close enough that they can converge quickly and a naval battle can cancel out the advantage of a great number of Devil Fruits

Sadly for him that doesn't work for us

-x-X-x-

"F..fuck! WHAT IS TH GHCK!!" The Baroque works members on the ship trailing us fell like wheat to the scythe, I had dived overboard and put waterbreathing to work to sneak up on them, climbing up thier ship and tearing through them. In the distance I can see the two ships Mei spotted burning, a roar and screach of victory from my two fire-types reaching all the way back here. Revy's huge Roc form clearly visible as her inital bombardment destroyed the mast and several canons and now she was divebombing the ship, snatching up any member that stuck their head out and dropping them into the sea.

"HA LEFT YOURSELF WIDE MMMPHH!!" I let a splash of web cover the idiot's face and leave him to suffocate as he futiley tried to rip the webbing off.

"Alright lets try this combination out." Shooting webbing all over the ship, pinning multiple Millions and Billions down as I do so I call upon Infernal Engine and jump off the deck as I toss a ball of flame, the webbing going up quickly and carrying the fire all over the ship, screams ringing out as those still alive get caught in it reaching my ears before I hit the water. When I surface the ship is in flames and then Charizard swoops down to grab me.

Destroy Crocodile's Blockade: Silver Trait Ticket

[Mysterious Stranger] - |Rare Trait| - A guardian angel with a revolver and a fedora, always just slightly out of reach. Sometimes, in moments the stranger will come and offer you his brief assistance, maybe he shoots your enemy in the ankle to cripple them or disables a trap you need him to. (Once the functionality of a skilled man with a gun becomes useless for the MC, the mysterious stranger will drop by one last time and give them a gold rarity trait ticket as a refund before the trait disappears.)

Mysterious Stranger already lacking; Gold Trait Ticket Refunded

[Dark Resistance] - |Rare Trait| - You are naturally resistant against Darkness and Darkness based effects. Such as shadow blasts, darkness chains, clouds of darkness, shadow blades, etc. This resistance scales with your base stats.

Huh, does this make me think I'd automatically win against Teach, no it does not. Does this give me a better chance down the line, yes.

I take the bucket Robin offers and wash the saltwater off before taking a towel and drying off.

"Okay then, that's the blockade down but we need to assume they had check ins scheduled if they didn't automatically report us as soon as we were spotted. Way I see it we have three options, one is for us to make a lightning blitz on Crocodile's base and take him out quickly, we could also stick to the plan and go meet up with King Cobra, splitting up and doing both is also an option at this point. I'm willing to hear opinions on this because we need to make the decision now."
