Naps

As I sighed, the trio sat near by and checked out Ussop. As he came to, they explained a bit and Ussop turned to thank me. After he did he asked who I was. I smirked, "Vice Admiral Lucifer. Admiral Akainu's son."

"No really, who are you?" Zoro asked.

I chuckled and grinned, "Here a picture. The man in the picture is Akainu. Now look at this one, side by side, you see it now?"

"....What proof do you have that hes the admiral?" Ussop asked.

"Another admirals word? A newspaper with his picture? What do you want?" I asked.

"Prove it," Chopper said.

I pulled out the marine newspaper and showed it to them, "See. That's fleet admiral Sengoku. That's admiral Kizaru. That's admiral Aokiji. and That's my dad, admiral Akainu. And that's vice admiral Garp, hes like a grandpa to me."

"Well damn.... How strong are you?" Zoro asked.

"I can tie with my dad, who is a devil fruit user without having a devil fruit," I said.

"You dont have a devil fruit? Then what is with your cat ears and tail?" Chopper asked.

"My mom was a feline royalty. Only select few can hide their ears and tails," I said and looked at the silent man. Sanji was looking at my watch.

I smirked, pressed the voice only button and got an immediate response, "Luc? What's up?"

"I heard a funny joke today," I said and winked at the chef.

"Yeah tell me?" a tired voice said.

"I was nice to this kid, ya know, explaining stuffs and all, when the straw hats chef asks if I have kids," I said with a chuckle.

"Pfft.... I'm sorry dear, I dont mean to be offensive, but youd kill them. If you want kids.... Then I'll stay with them at the island until they can fend for themselves or something," a laugh and a mans voice rang out.

"That too!" I laughed, "Ah geez. Sorry love, go back to bed. Sweet dreams and have a good night."

"Thanks, night Lucifer. See you soon maybe?" the voice asked sort of sexy like.

"If you didnt sound so tired, I'd come over right now. Soon though," I said and he grumbled before hanging up. Sighing, I looked toward the questioning group, with two new comers, "Ussop, why were you almost beaten to death?"

"Eh?!" all eyes turned on Ussop who froze up.

"That's right!" he yelled and went on to talk to them. As I sat there listening to him explain, I smelled a certain feline. I put my hands on my head and sat Watson on Chopper, "Keep my bebe snail safe."

As they looked at me, I shifted into a crouch and let my ears and tails out, "We are settling this now. No more interruptions. Are you prepared?"

As I seemingly spoke into the shadow, Luffy thought I meant him and was about to get up when a giant cat pounced at me, "This is my territory!"

A bird landed on Choppers head, "Ku kuu.. Lucci doesnt like Lucifer..."

As Lucci and I tumbled on the ground, I pinned him, "Submit or die."

The group was shocked by my words. Lucci tried to pin me but couldnt so he settled for biting my throat. We were heavily breathing, having tossed for a few minutes and growled the entire time. I had him pinned down, hands above his head, legs around my waist, and ear in my mouth. His teeth sank into my throat as he tried to fight me off.

Letting go of his ear, I growled, "Submit. Or. Die."

"LUC!" two voices yelled again.

I growled louder, frustrated, and ripped my throat from his mouth before biting his, making him bleed. He half moaned, half cried in pain and froze up. I let go, "Submit or die."

He raised his hands, staring wide eyed at the ground. I gently laid my body against his and licked the wound with regen potion on my tongue. As he healed, I purred softly, "You will come work for me later. Got it?"

"Y-yessir...." he said quietly. I nodded and let him sit up. I put a bottle of brandy between us and he passed me a pack of cigarettes. I took the smokes and lit one, passing it to him before lighting my own, "Good. Now that's settled, I dont give a fuck what you do in the territory."

I took Watson back and left the group as they are, grumbling to Kuzan, "I told you, I cant sleep."

Kuzan and I went off and spied for the next few days, watching everything that happened. When they pulled out the second train Kuzan waved me off, "Dont be seen."

I grinned and went off to ride the top of the train. It was fun but Watson didnt like it so I had to put him in my jacket. As I observed the entire ordeal, and we soon returned, I was never spotted by them...

One morning, while I slept on the roof, a loud voice yelled, "Luffy! Lucifer!"

I fell off the roof, "Fuck, come on old man!"

"Eh?! What are you doing here?!" luffy said to both of us.

And that's how I was found.... After they talked for a while, I approached Robin, "Yo girl. Teach me."

Garo swung around quick as hell, "You teach him that damn language and I'll skin you both!"

"I was asking her something else, old man," I said and looked at her in the corner of my eye.

Garp got the wrong signal and simply laughed. I grinned, accepting his misunderstanding and pulled her out of the room, "I have an ability to borrow someones mind to learn what they know. It will not affect you in an bit and it you dont trust me then quickly translate this word for word."

She looked at me oddly, and quietly read the pictures I had. After I got the language down, I nodded, "Thank you."

As I walked away, I hummed happily. Purple suit guy came over to me, "You are awful chipper."

"I'll heal you right now if you do me a favor," I said seriously.

"Whaaat do you want?" he asked.

"Help ya boy. He just wants to prove himself to his big bro," I said and glanced at him, "You have a special relationship that most would be jealous of."

"Hn. Okay," he nodded.

I smiled and walked away after tossing him a vial. Ignoring most who talked to me, I went to find something to do. Unable to find anything to do, I strolled and sang Garth Brooks songs. I did arrest some petty thieves and took out a gang.... 'Sigh...'

K 'I hate the silence...'

L 'Hey Balthazar, what's the problem?'

B 'I forgot how much I miss having a partner in crime.'

K 'Smoker right?'

B 'Yeah... sigh...'

L 'He has pretty eyes.'

K and B '.....yup.'

'Sigh...' x3

"Sigh.... oh, that looks like a good spot to sit at," I said after finding a waterfall. I hummed and went to sit on the bridge nearby it, my toes in the water. Opening my phone, I played Neon Moon by Brooks and Dunn, and sang along quietly while looking at the sky.

"Rough day, huh?" someone asked.

"Mm," I grumbled.

"Didnt you want to ride the sea train?" he asked.

"Its busy..." I sighed.

"So we can help rebuild the town until it's ready," he said.

"....Okay," I sighed and got up, looking at the brown haired male.

As he approached me, he smiled, "I missed you."

I noticed the eyes looking at us but ignored them, hugging him and touching his butt, "I missed you."

I put my chin on his head, squeezing him against me. He put his arms around my neck and laid his cheek on my chest. As we shared a quiet moment together, he looked up at me and smiled that damn smile.

Leaning down a bit, I kissed him and lifted him up, wrapping his legs around my waist. He hid his face in my neck and mumbled, "You let your hair grow out... It looks good."

I chuckled and brought my marine jacket to my front, covering him like it was a blanket, "You look exhausted, get some sleep for now."

He hummed softly and was soon passed out. I smiled a bit and sat back down, holding him in a princess carry. A voice quietly asked, "Who is that?"

I smiled a bit, whispering, "Hey chef... Dont you have a party to deal with?"

"I do but I have a little bit to chat. I know what you did... So I want to thank you," he said quietly.

"Dont know what your talking about," I said and shifted a bit to better cover Ryu.

"Okay. Do you need anything before I go back?" Sanji asked with a small smile.

"No. We are fine," I said and glanced at Ryu's sleeping face, "We're great, really. Go get salt from the roofs."

He looked at me oddly and I just smiled. Seeming realizing what I meant he dashed like a bat out of hell. And then the next person came, "Who is that?"

They were loud and caused Ryu to twitch in his sleep. I grumbled, "Shh, sleeping."

He frowned, "I just wanted to ask you why you didnt like Lucci."

"I dont like you either. I didnt like him because he was a male cat, even if it was a devil fruit. You? You stink," I said and looked away.

"Asshole," the blond rope user grumbled and walked off.

And then there was one....trio.... "I thought you would be with that girl," Garp said with confused look. The two boys, one pink haired the other blond, looked at me curiously to find out who I was.

I turned to face them, "Why would I be with her? Shes cute and all but not my type."

Garo raised an eyebrow, "You have a type?"

"Yes," I said and nodded a bit. Ryu shivered, so I fixed the jacket blanket, "Shh.... Sleep...."

The trio looked at me oddly so I quietly said, "What?"

"What's your type?" Garp asked.

"You still have no clue. It amazes me how little attention you pay to some things," I said in wonder.

"What's that supposed to mean?" the blond asked not so quietly.

I looked the kid in his eyes, "I dont like you."

"Eh? What did I do?" he asked confused.

Ryu twitched again, so I glared, "Be quieter. Sleeping..."

Blondey shut his mouth. Pink hair quietly asked, "What were you doing here Vice admiral Lucifer?"

"I went on a short vacation. I came to ride the train and instead met Lucci, then that chef and a few people calling themselves pirates just to go adventure... Sigh..." I said and listened to Ryu go back to a deep sleep.

Garp asked again, "What's your type?"

"Take a nap and you'll find out when you get up," I joked.

Garp shrugged and leaned his back on mine, "Where is MY blanket?"

I sighed and handed a blanket over to him, "And you two?"

"Er... I don't think it would be proper if we did," pink hair said.

"Is Garp asleep?" I asked.

The boy nodded, "Great, I'm in charge. Sit the fuck down and take a nap, marine."

"Y-yessir..." the said scared and sat a bit away from me.

"I wont bite you if you dont challenge my pride. Seriously, what kind of monster do you think I am?" I questioned.

"....," the duo didnt respond so I set two pillows down, adjusted Ryu and moved my arm a bit, "Sit on the pillows and lean against my arm and shoulder. I dont know what you've heard about me but it's probably what I've done drunk or enraged. This one in my arms, is my precious. You hurt this one, I'll kill you. You become friends without motives, a friend of a friend is a friend to me."

The pink haired one nodded a bit and sat on the front pillow. I handed him a blanket and looked at the last one, "You were loud. This one twitched. I shouldnt judge you off of that but like I said, this one is my precious and my weakness. Now come."

He reluctantly sat down and I covered him as well. I smiled and they were all soon asleep. We were joined by an injured giant feline, without human features. I gave him a regen potion, "Lucci."

"I have nowhere else to go... Please help me... My friends... please, I'll do whatever you want..." he said quietly to not wake anyone up.

A bag appeared next to him, "Clothes and medicine. Read the letter and do as it says."

He nodded, "Thank you..."

"Dont thank me yet," I grinned to him, "I have a napping party on me. Otherwise I'd beat your ass for being cocky in front of an opponent. I'll let it slide since it's my friends grandson who kicked your ass."

He bowed down before running off. I purred very quietly, causing stray cats to swarm us and nap.... L 'Damn...'

L 'This is not helping... I want them... all of them...'
