127 A tan.

Hela was currently acting as a maid for Death in my little mind world. The little spoiled goddess had been kind enough to upgrade all the wedding bands for the girls and give one to rogue and pepper who had no idea what was going on until they were already married off against their will well not completely but you know what I mean.

"If you want them just take them no need to pussyfoot about, your Lord Death you can have anything you want." She explained casually.

This was a fair point. Still I like to woo them on my own.

"You already wooed them." She said going back to watching some anime.

This is also true I doubt they would have declined anything I asked them anyway.

Back to asgard. There was actually a giant feast being held to welcome me as a new prince of Asgard. There was drinking and fighting and fun all around.

It's not very often a new prince is welcomed to the asgard family. I passed out firewhiskey which they all seemed to love and some modern foods they had never seen before. Their main diet was just regular meat, vegetables, and booze. When I brought out things like pizza, nachos and BBQ they nearly shit bricks. I'm not saying asgard food is bland but asgard food is pretty bland.

After the huge feast and the ceremony was done I was given my own asgardian armor, my own bedroom in the castle and some new asgard clothes in black to go with my God Of Death title.

"So what are your plans now Ryan?" Thor asks me as he showed me around the castle.

"Small vacation and go get me a tan. The girls are all busy with stuff and the company is running perfectly so I'm just going to go and take myself a nice little vacation. I never actually did get to take my first one." I tell him.

"Sounds nice. I think I'm going to head off and see Jane." He says with a fond look.

"If I was you man I'd go and look for an item that makes her live forever. You know, show her how much she matters." I say sneakily.

"That's a brilliant idea! But where to start?" He ponders.

"Perhaps the library or ask your mother she is quite wise." I tell him before clapping him on the shoulder and disappearing.

I reappear in a small town that's not too sophisticated there's boats sailing around and people unloading goods from ships. My clothes transform into a pair of shorts and flip flops and I make my way to a nice beach I set up a nice relaxing beach chair an umbrella I can adjust put down a small table and set my phone on it turning on pandora. Gotta listen to the 90s hits station when you want to truly relax.

I get myself a nice coconut from the beach and swiftly make it into a cup pouring out the nasty coconut shit. I hate coconut. But what I don't hate is fresh cold Koolaid. Yeah. I've even got a nice swirly straw.

It was relaxing. The sounds of the waves splashing on the beach the sound of music and the seagulls making noises in the air. Until.

"Ahhhhh a ghost suntanning!" A shout interrupted my fun time.

I look at the person who shouted that was still pointing at me. Well until my coconut cup collided with his face.

"Listen here you little shit I'm not a ghost I'm just really pale for the moment can't you see I'm working on it!?!?" I shout at him

"Ah I'm sorry Mr.Ghost please don't haunt me." He says bowing and pleading.

"I'm not a fucking ghost!" I shout punching him in the head.

"Ow ow ow sorry sorry. Hey I have an idea would you like to join my pirate crew? If I had a ghost as a crew mate I'm sure it would scare away other pirates." The straw hat wearing lad shot up looking at me excitedly.

"What's my cut as your first crew member." I say getting straight to the point.

"10% of the meat." He says seriously.

"70% and the women." I counter.

"30% and I hope you don't eat people that's gross." He says.

"No it's a special kind of eating that's top secret you'll know about it when your older...maybe and 50% of the meat I'll let you have all the fish though." I counter his offer.

"Fine but I'm the captain." He says sternly.

"How about we both be captains?" I say.

"What a ship can't have two captains that's against the rules!" He shouts.

"But isn't a pirate king supposed to make his own rules and live a grand life? Wouldn't this be the perfect way to start the life of a pirate king." I say.

"Hmm you do seem convincing Mr.Ghost." He nods his head. "Alright we can have two captains but I get all the fish! You can have the women." He says holding out his hand.

"Deal!" I happily shake.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy and I'm going to be the pirate king." He shouts with his hands on his hips.

"My name is Ryan and I'm here on vacation to work on my tan. I'll also be a Harem King!" I shout doing the same pose.

"Uhh what's a a harem?"

"You'll find out when you are older."

"But I'm 17?" He says in confusion.

"Yeah you need to atleast be like 30 or something."

"Aww man. A Harem isn't food is it?" He asks drooling slightly.

"No that's a ham completely different." I say

"Oh well I don't want it then. Well let's go to my ship!" He shouts before running off.

It was a ship just a really small dingy with a flag.

"You've got food and water right? You don't want to run out of water on the ocean or be hungry." I point out.

"Yeah I have a few barrels of stuff." He says before hopping in the boat and unfurling the sail.

I just shrug and get in as well to continue my tan.
