Chpater 17: Fire and sand

(y/n) widened her eyes the moment she was kissed by Ace. She look at Ace who waiting for her response "…well?" he asked. While (y/n) trying to comprehend what Ace just did. When she realized Ace just confessed and kissed her, her face turned red a little. Ace noticed the changes and leans closer, he kissed her one more time as their bodies embraced each other and deepen the kiss.

"Ace--…" (y/n) moaned a little.

"hm?"

"is this—is this alright? I mean—"

Ace look at (y/n) for a moment "well, we're not related by blood. I really like you, (y/n). ever since I was a little".

Ace look at her with a serious expression, (y/n) could tell he's not joking. She grabbed Ace's cheeks and pull him for another kiss. Ace melted by the kiss and pull her closer. (y/n) pushed Ace on the ground and look down at him, trapped him between her arms "…(y/n)?" he looked (y/n). She asked him what would their relationship become in the future. Will he stay with her forever? Will (y/n) die first and leave him? They're 'pirates' now. There's no guarantee of happiness. Every place they go, there are always people trying to kill them.

(y/n)'s tears start falling on Ace's cheeks "I'm scared, Ace… to have something precious for me. They are always disappearing in my hands in a blink of an eye because half of the world wants me dead. That's why--…"

Ace wiped some (y/n) tears with his thumb and caressed her cheek "that's why… it's better to be alone" she added, (y/n) can't contain her feelings anymore.

"hey, look at me—" Ace holds (y/n)'s cheeks to make her focus on him "this is your big brother, we're talking about. I'm strong, (y/n). you don't have to worry about losing me"

Ace pulled her down to hug her tightly "I will never leave you, (y/n)"

(y/n) widened her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Ace's neck and hugs him back. She felt comfortable and safe in his arms. They stay hugging each other for a few minutes, Ace stroking (y/n)'s head and giving small circles with his thumb on her back. He could feel something soft pressed on his chest, he knows what exactly that is and trying to calm down. But the more he tried to forget, the more he thinks about it 'c'mon, calm down! I know they're soft but—'

"Ace…?" (y/n) called.

"huh?! Y-yeah?"

"I could hear your heart beating really fast. Are you perhaps--… nervous?"

"can you blame me? you're right on top of me—"

(y/n) now noticed that Ace starting to get excited too under there. Now (y/n) grinned and press herself to Ace more purposely "hmm, I didn't know you're boob lover type, Ace"

Ace flushed a little and looked away, his reaction makes (y/n) want to tease him more "do you want to touch mine?" she offered.

Ace's heart just a skip a beat when he hears the offer, his heart speeding up too. But then they positioned himself in a sitting position while (y/n) sat on his lap. (y/n) grab his right hand and place it on her left breast, Ace gives a squeeze and feels how soft it is. Then (y/n) guided both hands on her breasts, Ace massaged them over the cloth "wow—" he was amazed. (y/n) tried to hold in her moans while moving her hips over Ace's crouch.

"Oh God—" Ace could feel his dick rising.

Then Ace lifted (y/n)'s shirt over her chest to reveal them right in front of Ace's face, he stares at those luscious nipples and (y/n) feel the cold wind over her nipples. When Ace start licking them with his warm tongue, (y/n) moaned and melted by the lick.

"Ace~~" (y/n) moaned his name.

Ace starts biting and licking her nipples which makes her more aroused. Her hips movement speed up and Ace is already pre-cum under his pants. He reached his belt, untied its belt, and unzipped it until he could free his twitching cock.

(y/n) removed her (pants/skirt) and rubbed her bare clit on Ace's boner, it was pretty big and hard. Both of them moaned by so much pleasure they feel "(y/n)… I think I'm going to—" before Ace could finish his words, he already splurged his thick cum on (y/n)'s stomach.

Ace sighed in relief and thought he has finished, but (y/n) grabbed his cock and start stroking it "but I haven't come, Ace. I want you to orgasm again"

"h-hey, but I just—aaAAH!" he could feel he's coming again. Her hands are so good around his throbbing cock.

"(y/n), you're making me—Ngggh—!"

(y/n) keep cutting him by stroking harder and tightly. then without warning, (y/n) just pushed her wet clit onto Ace's hard cock. Ace gasped and groaned in pleasure by how wet and her walls squeezing him "(y/n), I'm cumming--!! Wait! You feel too good--!"

Ace grabbed (y/n)'s breasts again and squeeze them, his thumbs circling her nipples which makes her more aroused "Ace, those are sensitive—I—aah! Ah ah!"

This time, Ace couldn't hold it anymore. So he grabbed (y/n)'s arms behind her back and start humping her harder "A-Ace?! Aah ahn--! Aah! Wait—" the tip of Ace's cock hits her g-spot every time he thrust.

"sorry, (y/n). but I really need—" Ace thrust faster.

"wait, Ace--! I'm cumming too! AH AH AAHN!!"

Ace quickly pulled out his cock and shot his cum, while (y/n) spurge her juices on Ace's cock.

Both of them panted heavily, Ace lay on the ground and (y/n) resting on his chest. After calming themselves down, they look at each other again and kiss once more. It feels like both of them do not want to let go, but they have a mission to fulfill. They fixed their outfit as (y/n) told him that she has to go since the sun had almost risen "it was fun spending my night with you, Ace. It was… amazing" she said with a little blush.

Ace grinned in confidence and kissed her neck "I want to continue, but we have duties right now" he placed his forehead on (y/n)'s "but next time we meet. I definitely won't let you go"

"mhmm" (y/n) kissed him "good luck with that" she giggles.

(y/n) get up on her feet and spread her wings as she prepares to leave. Ace grabbed her waist and pulled her close to give (y/n) one last kiss. It was pretty deep and full of love. Then he finally let her go and watch (y/n) fly away from him for the second time.

'we'll meet again, (y/n). once I get my revenge'

The morning has risen and Crocodile is still in his office alone while reading some paper works. While focus reading, he heard something from outside his window. He turned to see someone enter his office through the window. It was (y/n) with her wings still spreading out beckoning the sunlight. Crocodile stare at her beauty with the touch of warm sunlight, he thought she looked so beautiful "you have returned, my jewel. come here" he extended his hand to her.

She look at it for a moment until she stepped on the floor. (y/n) accepted Crocodile's hand as he gently pulled her closer to him "…you're not worried I might have escaped?" (y/n) asked.

"why would I? I may know you could talk sweet lies with those lips, but I know… you're the person keeping deals" Crocodile pulled (y/n) closer to his face "and now that you're mine, there's nothing to worried about"

"your hands, your lips, every inch of your body… is all mine" he whispered in her ears.

"how do you know that I'm the person keeping my contract?"

Crocodile smirk "I've called someone that once acquaintance with you or at least know about your personality. All I have to do is do his favor and I'll do the same as return"

(y/n) grabbed Crocodile's collar "who is it? who tells you information about me?" she glared at Crocodile with death eyes.

Her glare gives Crocodile pleasuring chills on his back, he loved it "it's a business secret, my jewel. surely you know about that" he chuckled.

"…"

"but since you're my woman now, I'll make an exception" he leans closer to (y/n)'s ear "…it's one of Seven Warlords of The Sea. Can you guess who was it?"

"…?!!" (y/n)'s widened and loosened her grip on Crocodile's collar. There are only three men who know about (y/n)'s identity, but which one?

"you looked puzzled, my dear. Have you guessed it?" Crocodile look at (y/n)'s troubled expression "well, it doesn't matter who. What's matter right now— you're finally mine and no one… will take you away from me"

Crocodile placed (y/n) on his lap and embraced her, enjoying his reward in his arms. Meanwhile, (y/n) trying to figure out who's the person spreading information about her.

After that, (y/n) still sitting on Crocodile's laps and watching him do his work. It looks like he's in a very good mood. She looked at him for a while "…even an evil pirate are working diligently" (y/n) said. Crococdile chuckled and told her that he's working hard to make sure his plan goes well and so far everything goes according to his plan. (y/n) asked him, what is he going to do with her? Is he just wanted to make her a spouse or something else?

"…as you read in the letter I give you the other day, you were looking for the Poneglyph, correct? Your strength, intelligence, and beauty are fit for my perfect partner" he said while continuing work.

"I don't think the last one is necessary. Although, I'm almost flattered"

"that's good to hear"

(y/n) stretched her limbs upward and yawned, Crocodile noticed that and asked her if she wanted to get some sleep. But (y/n) shakes her head and says no. Crocodile sighs and stops working. He picked her up and carry her into a different room.

(y/n) wondered where Crocodile taking her. They entered into a room where there's a large bed in it. He placed (y/n) in there and he lay beside her. Crocodile embraced her from the side, his right arm where (y/n) use it as her pillow and his left on her stomach "if you're tired then say you're tired, if you're hungry says you're hungry. I don't have time to figure out what's in your mind. so just say what you want and I'll give it to you" he said.

(y/n) look at him with curious eyes, is Crocodile being affectionate to her she wonders "…I guess I also need a little nap too" he said with a very low and tired voice. It looks like last night he didn't sleep either and waiting for (y/n) return.

(y/n) look around the room, it was pretty dark and the curtains are closed. Only dim light enters the room but she could still see her surrounding clearly. She thought this bedroom is where Crocodile could rest. It was very silent and all she could hear is the sound of Crocodile's breathing right next to her hear. (y/n) could even smell his cologne and cigar scent. She looked at Crocodile who already closed his eyes, she looked at the scar across his face and traced his face with her fingers. Crocodile could feel her warmth and comfort through her touch, it was very gentle.

Then (y/n) traced her fingers to his left golden hook, it was cold and hard. She stared at it for a while "…something caught your interest?" Crocodile asked.

"this golden hook… will I die if it stabbed me in the chest?"

Crocodile didn't expect such a question, then he removed his golden hook to the counter next to their bed and revealed his missing left hand "what a strange question. Of course, it will. Why do you ask?"

"…just curiosity"

Crocodile hit (y/n)'s forehead with his left wrist "then don't ever that kind of question ever again, I don't like it. especially that your life is in my hand now, I won't let you die"

(y/n) widened her eyes, for a second her heart skipped a beat. She turned her back at Crocodile "fool--…" she said.

"mhmm" Crocodile wrapped his arms around (y/n) stomach and embraced her tightly, he buried his nose in (y/n)'s neck and inhaled her scent "…I could hear your heartbeat though. It's beating very fast" he teased.

"…" (y/n) didn't say anything.

Then Crocodile noticed (y/n)'s ear turned red a little, he smirked a little "is my jewel feeling a little nervous? Don't worry, I won't break you. well… just a little bit" he said as he kissed (y/n)'s ear.

(y/n) surprised a little when Crocodile kissed her ear through her neck. His body pushing to her down and trapped her between his arm. While kissing (y/n)'s neck, Crocodile's right hand caressed her stomach to her chest. He gave a light squeeze as his thumb circled her left nipple. (y/n) covering her mouth, she's trying hard not to moan "you don't have to hold it in" Crocodile removed (y/n)'s hands from her mouth "let me hear your voice—" he kissed her in the lips.

Their kiss was pretty deep and passionate. This time, (y/n) couldn't help but moan. Crocodile's leg went between (y/n)'s legs and pressed in. Crocodile starts removing (y/n)'s clothes one by one until her bare body is fully visible. Crocodile ravishing every part of her body and mumbling the words 'mine' and 'beautiful'. He wanted to mark all over (y/n)'s body. He start removing his shirt and unzipped his pants "turn around" he ordered.

(y/n) turned her body where Crocodile could see her back, he leans down and rubbed his boner under his pants on (y/n)'s wet clit. Without a warning, he started inserting his hard cock inside (y/n) and thrusting her.

"d-don't suddenly just—a-aaah!!" (y/n) moaned while feeling Crocodile thrusting her fast.

The sound of skin slapping was pretty loud and (y/n) couldn't think of anything except the pleasure she feels right now. She could feel herself starting to get orgasm "Crocodile! I'm almost—"

"great. I will make you feel so good, my jewel" he grinned and thrusting faster.

"I—ah ah AAH!"

Crocodile also could feel himself about to come as well. He quickly pulls out his cock and cumming on (y/n)'s ass. His thick cum spread all over her back.

Both of them panted heavily as they relaxed together side by side. Crocodile raised (y/n)'s hand and kissed it affectionately "…my jewel, now we'll never be seperated" he whispered. (y/n) look at him for a while, she thought maybe Crocodile did love her. But she can't accept his love… (y/n) get up a little and kiss him. When she pulled back, she grabbed his chin and make him look her in the eyes.

"if someday death comes and end my fate… what would you do?"

Crocodile kissed her back "then I'll punch that son of a bitch for taking my woman away" he pulled (y/n) down and embrace her tight "nothing will separate us, not even death"

(y/n) went silent for a moment and then chuckled "you're indeed a strange man, Crocodile"

Later, Mrs. All-Sunday came and informed Crocodile from outside the room that the Straw Hat pirates and Marines are heading toward their base right now. Crocodile groaned and get up from bed, he turned to (y/n) who's still sleeping "get up, my jewel. your friends are here" he said. (y/n) get up and stretch her body. Both of them dressed back up and walk out of the room. Mrs. All-Sunday blinked and stare at Crocodile and (y/n) "you two must have fun together last night" she giggled and walk ahead.

Crocodile and (y/n) look at each other, both of them still a little mess up. There are scratch and bite marks on each other bodies. (y/n) embarrassed a little that Mrs. All-Sunday noticed what have they done in the bedroom while Crocodile feels pretty proud of himself.

Back to Straw Hat pirates, the crew continue their walk and set their destination at the Rainbase. Vivi told everyone that is Crocrodiles will be. A town were famous for its gambling games. When they finally reach the Rainbase, the crew split up and were told to find a water supply for their travels. Usopp and Luffy are the ones who will grab it in a nearby bar and order a glass of water for them as well. They quickly chugged the whole glass and relieved the dry sensation in their throat.

Usopp noticed something beside Luffy, his face turned pale as he told Luffy to look at where he was pointing at. Luffy turned and his face went pale as well. What they're looking at was… Smoker and Tashigi staring back at them.

Usopp and Luffy were so surprised to see them that they spout the water in their mouth toward Smoker's face. They panicked and runs away with their water supply without even paying.

Thus, Smoker and his troupe are chasing after The Straw Hat crew. He thought (y/n) was telling the truth when they're arriving at Rainbase. The crew is splitting into a few teams and Smoker is focusing to catch Luffy which is heading toward Crocodile's place now. Unfortunately, the moment Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Smoker entered the building. A trap captured them and locked them in a thick bar cell "that was a clever trap" complimented Luffy.

"We played right into his hands! How could you not see it! idiots!!" Nami scolds.

Strangely, Luffy started to feel weak. He said he can't use his rubber power and feels like he's drowning underwater. Smoker explained that the cell is made from sea prim stone. A special stone that only found one place in the ocean, its specialty is weakened the devil-fruit user. "he's right, give it a rest. Since you're going to be together you might as well be friends" said a man's voice.

Everyone turned to see Crocodile walk into the room "Crocodile!" Smoker growled.

"oh-ho! You're a mad dog. Just like they say, Smoker. You don't even consider me an ally. Even your once trusted ex-Marine has become mine too"

"What..?!"

Crocodile offered his hand to the person behind him, a hand accepted his hand and revealed who's the person it. The crew, including Smoker, widened their eyes to the figure standing next right to Crocodile.

"(Y/N)?!!"
