23 Masterpiece

As we sat in a dining hall, waiting for lunch, I sipped a cup of milk tea and played 3d chess with Kizaru. He was still mad he couldnt beat me.

When lunch arrived, I was given a steak with broccoli. I stared at it before looking at everyone else. Sakazuki watched to see what I would do. After the person left, I put a metal plate on the table and cut up the food into tiny pieces. Laid tea infused dough out on the metal plate and added the contents of the plate, dripping sauce and all, then topped it with cheese and closed it. Setting the dough on my plate, I looked toward Sakazuki, "Can I use fire?"

He shook his head, "No. What are you doing?"

"Making it into something I can eat. I need to heat this plate so the bread cooks," I said.

Sakazuki frowned, "Give it to me."

I handed it to him and he used his devil fruit powers to hold the plate without melting it. He held his hand out, "Give me the food."

I handed my plate over and he flipped the food onto the plate, instantly cooking it. After flipping it once, it was done. I met eyes with him, "Thank you."

He didnt respond but handed me the plate with food before throwing the metal at Kuzan. Kuzan froze it and set it to the side.

I let my food cool off before picking it up and eating it. Beef and broccoli calzone with tea bread. Not bad, but not enough tea... Shrugging, I pulled out my tea ranch dipping sauce and poured some right into it.

About to take another bite, I looked up to see all eyes on me... "Want a bite?"

They averted their eyes... I put my food down and cut off the part I bit before cutting the rest into five parts and passing it over, "I have too much. Take it."

Garo snatched a piece and ate it, "Its odd."

The others took a piece quickly before Garp could take them all. Sakazuki was the next to speak, "Did you put tea in this?"

I nodded, "I add tea to everything."

The group nodded. I stayed silent. Silence filled the room as they ate and I sat quietly watching.

After everyone ate, I followed Sakazuki to the apartment where he dropped me off, "Go set up your room. We need to talk later."

I nodded, "Yessir. Is it okay if I paint the walls?"

"Dont make a mess," he sighed and closed the door before locking it.

I smiled a little and went into my room. First, I need to paint. 'How much is paint?'

-Host should organize inventory and use more tickets...-

'I'm sorry... Use all mystery tickets, trinket tickets, skill tickets, and anything else besides evolution and quest tickets.'

-Host has 5,000 mystery tickets, 60,000 trinket tickets, 300 skill tickets, 200 outfit tickets, 3 familiar tickets, and 1 summon ??? ticket. Would host like to use all?-

'Dont use the summon or familiar tickets please.'

-Using all other tickets-

'Alright, clothes first...' I thought and pulled out all outfits. I then proceeded to put them back in. 'Suits first...' 600 suits in all kinds of colors and types appeared. Straightening then out and hanging them on hangers (1 point for 100 pack), I set them in my new portable closet (100 points for infinite hanging space, hangers not included, none hanging things will be lost). I continued to put clothes away until I was finished with clothes and went to daily necessities. Thankfully I had a bottomless bathroom tote...

After setting everything inside, I went onto consumables. Sighing, I pulled out my new pantry door and put food and drinks in it. Opening the collectables door, I put all trinkets and toys in and sighed. Opening the weaponry door, I put all weapons up and even hung up some armor. Opening the greenhouse, I put all tea trees, fruit trees, and plants in. I had a blank door left so I used it as 'storage' for games, tools, supplies, paint and paint brushes, tarps, traps, sewing kit, fabric, stencils, and general odds and ends.

The paints I have include every possible color, every color with sparkles in it, every color with illusory effects, every color that can change depending on temperature, and tardis colored..... I got a paint bucket and painted my room as a realistic tardis that when hot turns into an exploding tardis.

Hung up black out curtains, put a small desk and personally written books on the top. I then put a tea scented candle warmer on the desk and grinned. "I think it's a masterpiece yet," I told my clones.

They grinned as well, one spoke, "Mark it on the calendar. The official beginning of the debauchery tea party starts now."

"I'll be Shiro!" I called out and grabbed my robe and glasses.

"I'll be Chief Nyanta!" three clones said and glared at each other.

"Hey, be your own versions of him. I think Akatsuki was better," another said.

"Uh... She wasnt in it.." I said.

"Now she is," clone got an attitude.

"Dont care. Anyone else?" I asked.

"I'll be Krusty!"

"Bukubukuchagama!" we all looked at that clone and he killed himself.

"Soujiro!"

"William Massachusetts!"

"Eh?!?"

"The elf guy from silver swords..."

"Oh.." x5

"Round table meeting," I smirked and put a round table in the middle of the room. I created a clone, "Greyfia, please pass out tea."

The clone changed, "Right away, sir."

As we sat on the floor, the maid passed out tea and bowed before killing herself.

I picked up my tea, "To a night of debauchery."

"Here, here." x 7.

"Onto business. Are we agreed on protocol?" I asked.

"Nyow wait a moment," a tabby Nyanta said.

We all stared at him. Tabby Nyanta shrunk down, "I was going to ask which protocol.."

"Oh. Excellent question. Protocol for our meetings," I stated and sipped my tea, "As I'm sure you know, nobody can speak of this outside of this room to anybody. Are we agreed?"

"Yes," x6.

"What is the issue tabby?" I asked the tabby Nyanta.

"Nyat even to each other?" tabby asked.

"Nyow wait a minute, Tabby. Are you asking to let our identities be known?" Persian Nyanta asked.

"Nyeo. Nyat at all. I wanted to confirm it," Tabby said.

"Good. Are we agreed to...," I was interrupted.

"Neow wait a second. What is the clone protocol?!" Lion Nyanta asked.

We all stared at Lion who abruptly killed himself.

"Are we agreed to secrecy?" I asked again.

"Yes," x6.

"Good. Now, I want to wish you all a grand thank you for helping me. As thanks, I'll give you a gift later on that you will like. For now, the festivities," I grinned.

"Woo!" x6.

I passed out snacks and drinks, "To a night of debauchery!"

My clone put our phone into the wall mounted speaker disguised as the call buttons of the tardis and played My House. As we danced and drank tea, the door flew open, "What do you think your doing?!"

I looked at Akatsuki, "You said you soundproofed!"

Akatsuki looked at Persian, "Did you screw it in?!"

"Nyeo I didnt!" Persian said and killed himself.

I shut off the music and told my clones, "Tea party over!"

I looked at Sakazuki, "It wont happen again! I'm sorry!"

"Where did you get wall paper from?" he ignored me and looked at my room.

I quickly cleaned up and put the round table up, "I painted it. Wait until the room heats up!"

He frowned and looked at me, "Its been four hours, you couldnt have done all of this."

"I had thirty clones at the start but once they got frustrated, they killed themselves.... Its color changing, come on! Isnt it great?!" I asked excitedly.

As he frowned more, he emitted heat and the tardis exploded. I grinned, "See!"

He stared at the changing picture but stayed silent. I grinned more and laughed, "Bwahahaha! It's a masterpiece!"

He looked at me and frowned, "Its time we talked."

"What do you wish to know?" I asked as I turned serious and sent a clone to finish installing the soundproofing.

"Where did you learn all of those things? Are you a devil fruit user? Can you really not have anything without tea? What is your true identity?" he asked quickly.

"First, some history on my bloodlines. I told you I was shinigami and ghoul. I'm also part feline. As a shinigami, we live until out life force is dry and can steal others life force by killing someone before their destined time. There are rules to it, so I wont kill just anybody. As a ghoul, they have the normal strength of a haki user without trying while fighters are equal to a vice admirals strength. To live, ghouls eat human flesh. Since I'm a mixed breed, I cant stand eating anything unless it has a strong tea taste. I've never eaten human, so dont look at me like I'm a monster.... I mutated due to the mixed blood and somehow became part cat," I said and took a sip of tea.

He stayed silent. My clones killed itself. I looked him in the eyes, "While inside that stupid tree, I somehow made it to my mindscape and was able to practice everything I read. I am not a devil fruit user. To not eat human, I was able to replace it with tea so tea is the only thing not poisonous to me. My true identity was long forgotten, now I'm just a being trapped in a childs body being renamed every rebirth I've had. Now I'm Lucifer," I said seriously.

"And I let you loose into the world?" he asked with a frown.

"Sort of. The death of the tree is the end of my imprisonment. The people on the island wanted the tree to live, so I doubted I would get out," I said with a sigh.

"I see...," he sighed, "So what now?"

"I dont know. I want to grow up and I'd do anything to ensure it," I said and sighed, "Well almost anything. I dont want to kill unless there is absolutely no other way without crossing morals. And I wont backstab someone who helped me."

He made a face as if thinking then frowned, "So what you're saying is that I should keep an eye on you from now on?"

I grinned, "Cant do that if you leave me alone."

"....I already regret this," he sighed.

I grinned and stepped right in front of him, smiling up toward him, "You have no idea."
