Wano I

The rest of the crew made their way to the Flower Capital, Viper was carrying a small bag and said "Split up, blend into Wano's society. Keep an eye open and pay attention to the news and little stories. If you hear anything about Kozuki, our our crew, notify everyone with NSICS." they all nodded and Viper added "We'll use samurai themed names, buy Wano clothes as well. O-Nami, Sangoro, Chopperemon, Bonekichi, Carroturu, O-Reiju, and I will be Vinosuke. Use these names in front of other people. Understood?" the group nodded and split up, Viper grabbed Reiju's arm and said "Where are you going?" as he grinned, she turned to him and he said "We're opening a family shop!" he smiled and held her hand as they walked towards a clothing store, Reiju blushed and smiled as he dragged her around.

A while later

Viper walked out of the store with his hair in a samurai top knot and Sotohebi at his waist, he had a traditional black Kimono with pink petals on it and Geta sandals. Standing next to him was Reiju with her hair in a bun, she was wearing a pink kimono with wide sleeves and a black waist band. She was wearing socks and Geta sandals as well.

Viper was completely enamored with her look and he said "You are absolutely stunning..." He sighed and said "I don't think I'm going to be doing very much information gathering..." Reiju giggled and held his arm as she said "Should I wear something else?" she gave him a teasing look and he immediately said "No. This is very good." before mumbling "If I see anyone gawking I might just kill them..." as he gnashed his teeth at the thought. Reiju laughed, Viper listened to her silver bell-like laughter and smiled as they walked down the streets trying to find a shop to rent.

The duo were walking down the street when Viper heard a voice speak to him "Your sword is suffering." Viper turned his head and saw a one-armed old man with a scar over his eye looking at him. Viper walked towards him and said "What do you mean?" The old man said "It's common courtesy to introduce yourself first." Viper said "My name is Vinosuke, and this is my wife O-Reiju." Reiju's face turned completely red.

The old man said "My name is Anenokoji. Pleasure to meet you." Viper said "You said my sword is suffering?" Anenokoji nodded and said "Yes. It was a Ryo Wazamono before was it not?" Viper frowned and said "Maybe we should talk inside old man." Anenokoji gave him a deep look and nodded before getting up and walking inside his house, Viper and Reiju followed him.

Viper and Reiju walked in and sat on their knees at a table, across from Anenokoji. Viper said "I gave Yubashiri new life, and named it Sotohebi" as he placed Sotohebi on the table in front of Anenokoji. He picked it up and looked over it and said "It has quite the spirit. It's a cursed blade as well, but now it's dying. If you continue to use it, it will die and break." as he put it down. Viper frowned and said "His last wish was to die in battle. Afterwards I will bury it in this country." Anenokoji said "He won't make it through a tough battle, maybe against a child. Even if you have Ryou and cover it while you battle it still won't survive."

Viper grabbed Sotohebi and turned it black and said "How could he break while like this?" Anenokoji said "Maybe it won't break physically but it's spirit will perish. I suggest you bury it now." Viper snapped "No! I will honor it's last wish!" Anenokoji said "You are hurting it and putting yourself in danger. If you really wish to fight then I will fight you." the old man stood up and grabbed a katana from a barrel and walked outside to his back yard. Viper stood up and followed after him with Reiju.

Viper was standing across from Anenokoji, and readied Sotohebi. Anenokoji raised his katana and shot forward slashing towards Viper, fully intending to kill. Viper narrowed his eyes and blocked the old man's slash with Sotohebi and felt the sword buzz aggressively. Viper shot forward and slashed Sotohebi sideways, he got blocked and Viper used the momentum to spin around and slash from the other direction. Anenokoji narrowed his eyes and jumped backwards dodging the swing, the fight had turned into a death match.

Anenokoji jumped into the air and slashed down at Viper, who blocked with Sotohebi. Viper heard a crack and winced, as he pushed Anenokoji back. He created a little bit of distance and dug his geta into the ground before shooting forward and slashing upwards.

"Four-Fanged Venom!"

Viper slashed upwards and made the old man take a few steps back, before jumping into the air and flipping. Viper flipped and swung Sotohebi down at Anenokoji's head.

"Doubled-headed Fangs!"

Anenokoji slashed upwards at an incredible speed as his katana turned black. Sotohebi met the strike and a shock wave blew out. Viper heard cracking and then a snap, he kicked the air and landed on the ground. He uncovered Sotohebi and watched as it buzzed happily, he looked up and saw Anenokoji's katana snap in two, he heard another snap and saw Sotohebi split in half while buzzing happily for the last time. Viper caught the half that split before it landed on the ground and stared at both pieces.

Anenokoji said "It was quite the battle. I had expected it to crumble after the first strike. Your sword was very loyal to you and held together long enough to finish my sword off as well. I assume you haven't used it for a while before this correct?" Viper nodded and said "I was afraid it would die." Anenokoji said "It's a sword's honor to die in battle, not sit on a shelf and collect dust." he bowed and said "Thank you for allowing me to be your sword's last battle." Viper nodded and sighed "I need new weapon now.. Hey old man, you know anywhere I can bury him? Also anyone who can make me a new sword?"

Anenokoji gave Viper a deep look and was silent for a few moments before saying "You want the same design as that one?" Viper was silent and said "No, i'm proficient in any one-sword style. The style I used for Sotohebi will die with him. I want a katana, but a little longer." Anenokoji silently walked past him and into his house before saying "Follow me." Viper followed after him and held Reiju's hand as he walked by, she smiled and caressed his hand with her thumb saying "It's okay don't be upset." Viper smiled at her and said "I'm not, just a little sad." he kissed her cheek and brought her with him to the old man.

Anenokoji was sitting in front of a sword design and said "I used to be a swordsmith myself, until I lost my arm. I was quite well known a long time ago." he sighed and said "I might've not been able to make Saijō Ō Wazamono grade swords but they will be the same quality as Ō Wazamono grade swords." He pushed the design forward and said "This was going to be my greatest creation, I'm giving it to you." Viper said "I assume you are the best swordsmith you know?" he nodded and Viper said "I won't accept this." Anenokoji frowned and said "I can't make swords anymore and our battle gave me the honor of your swords dying spirit. You must take it."

Viper smiled and said "I want you to make it. I will make you a new arm so you can complete your dream." Anenokoji was shocked and said "How?" Viper held up his right arm and knocked on it making a metallic sound and said "Me and my wife were going to set up a prosthetic shop here. You can be my first customer." Reiju pinched his side while blushing, Viper gave her a smile and squeezed her hand.

Anenokoji said "You don't have a store yet do you?" Viper and Reiju shook their heads and he said "I own the buildings next to me, one of them is my forge and the other is a store front, you can have the storefront." he bowed his head and said "I am in your debt." Viper said "You're making me a sword, there's no debt to be had. Though a have a request for the sword." Anenokoji nodded and Viper said "I would like the sheath to have a snake design like this." he drew a snake and said "And for the wrap on the hilt to be pink." Anenokoji smiled and said "Not a problem, those are just decorations." Viper smiled and said "Then thank you, I will wait for it." Anenokoji nodded and said "It won't be long after I have both of my arms, I'll go buy the materials now." he got up and left, Viper and Reiju followed him out before walking to the store front next door.

They walked inside and immediately started to clean up and set up how they wanted their store to be like. Afterwards Viper got to work on the old man's new arm as Reiju made a sign for their shop and listed prices and details about the product.

A while later

Viper was finished and he walked outside, he looked up and saw the sign and smiled. The sign said 'V-R Prosthetics' Viper stared it for a moment and Reiju came outside and said "Do you like it?" Viper mumbled absentmindedly "I love it. I wouldn't mind doing this for the rest of my life with you.." Reiju covered her mouth and teared up, Viper shook his head and went to the old man's house saying "I'll be back home soon, wait for me." Reiju watched him go and held her hands against her chest as she said "I wouldn't mind either.. Idiot.." she turned around and walked back into the shop.

Viper dropped off the new arm for the old man and installed it for him saying "It acts just like your old arm, except it's made of metal. It's heat proof and will never rust, you can stick it in your furnace and grab extremely hot metals with it, though I would leave it in there for hours." he chuckled. Anenokoji said "I don't think, I will be doing that." as he moved his fingers and clenched his fist, Viper said "It will work with Ryou as well. I hope you like it! I'll see you later old man, my wife's waiting at home for me." Anenokoji watched him go and smiled as he said "Thank you Vinosuke." Viper smiled and waved before walking out of the door.

Viper walked back into the shop before making a call to the rest of the crew, they answered and Viper said "Everybody hear me okay?" the crew said "Loud and clear." Viper nodded and said "Cane, look for Luffy's approximate location." Cane said "He is on Wano and not dead, but he's unconscious. He's safe." Viper nodded and said "Good. Alright, I want an update. Anybody find any news?" They all said "No." Viper said "Me and Reiju opened a prosthetics store on the main street, until we find the rest of the crew and our allies this will be our temporary meeting place if necessary."

Sanji said "You're with Reiju?" Viper grinned and said "Opened up a family store." Reiju piped in from the side "You're still on probation." Viper sighed and Sanji said "I opened a Soba shop cart on main street as well. I'll come check in on your 'shop' tomorrow." Viper grumbled "Maybe you should work on getting off probation with Nami..." Nami said "What was that?" Viper made static noises and said "I- can't- hear- call- tomorrow-" and hung up.

Reiju rolled her eyes and said "Static sounds? Really?" Viper chuckled and said "Eh. What do they know?" Reiju giggled and said "I think they're smart enough to realize." Viper pouted and said "Can't you just let me feel like I fooled them?" Reiju laughed and said "That wouldn't even convince a child.." Viper had enough, he picked her up in a princess carry, causing her to yelp in surprise as he walked upstairs to the bed room.

Reiju was in his arms and said "Let me down!" Viper replied childishly "No." Reiju sighed and said "You're an idiot." Viper snickered and said "I know." he walked into the bed room and put her down on the bed. He walked over to the closet and took off his kimono, before going into the sheets in his underwear. Reiju looked at him and crossed her arms as she said "You expect me to sleep here?" Viper grinned and said "There's no other bed room, I can sleep on the floor if you want." he got out of the sheets and Reiju stopped him and said "Idiot, I'm not going to let you sleep on the floor!"

She sighed and got up, before pulling out her hair pin. Viper watched as her hair dropped down, she slid down her kimono revealing her beautiful white shoulders. He gulped and just stared at her, she had her back turned to him as she took off her clothes revealing her bra and panties, Viper had a full view of her smooth white skin. She turned around and saw him just staring at her like she was a perfect treasure, she blushed and said "What?!" He just mumbled "You're perfect.." she was a little stunned and got into bed with him.

Viper tuned to her and reached out his arms, wrapping them around her and pulling her close to him. He stroked her head and smiled warmly as he kissed her gently, before pulling her in so that she could rest her head on his chest. Her body collided with his, she blushed and rested her head against his bandages, she touched them with her fingers and said "Does it still hurt?" Viper said "No, I'll take them off tomorrow." Reiju said "Okay, i'll clean it for you after then." Viper smiled and rubbed her back, she smiled and closed her eyes as she slowly fell asleep. He watched her fall asleep and closed his eyes, falling asleep himself, with a smile on his face.

The next morning

Viper and Reiju woke up to a knocking at the door, Viper sighed and got up, he put his Kimono on and said "I'll go get it, stay here. I'll bring you breakfast." she smiled and writhed in bed getting more comfortable, Viper watched as she moved around with only half her body under the covers and his heartbeat accelerated, he grinded his teeth and swore whoever was at his door better have something important. Reiju smiled before falling back asleep, and Viper went downstairs towards the door.

He opened the door and said "What is so fucking important you had to wake me up at this time?" a man stared at Viper and said "Are you new here?" Viper frowned and said "Yes, what do you want?" the man said "I'm here to get to know you and your shop. I'm one of Lord Orochi's subordinates." Viper seethed and said "You couldn't come some other time, I was with my wife you bastard! I love Lord Orochi, I hope he stays in power for another 1000 years. Can you leave now?" the man gave him a look and said "I hope you do. Have a nice day." Viper said "Yeah, when I don't get interrupted by the shogun's subordinates when I'm with my wife, my day will be great. Make an appointment next time." as he closed the door.

Viper grumbled "Stupid tall head, long eared bastard.. Now i'm fully awake.." as he went to make breakfast for Reiju. He made her apple danishes and carried a plate full of them upstairs, while still grumbling about the guy with the long ears. He opened the door and saw that she was still sleeping. He closed the door quietly and silently walked to the bed, he put her breakfast on the table by the bed and leaned over her. He kissed her forehead before covering her up with the blanket again and leaving the room without making a sound.

Viper walked back down stairs and opened the doors before putting up a sign at the counter that said 'Quiet, my wife is sleeping'. He sat down behind the counter and opened up the Flower Capital newspaper.

After a while

A man walked in, he stepped towards Viper and saw the sign. He smiled and said "I heard you can make arms?" Viper nodded, and the man lifted his sleeve and said "Can you give me a price?" Viper looked at the missing arm and said "Right arm, half way down the bicep. Normal arm is 50,000 beri, special arms are more depending on the modification." the man said "What kind of modification?" Viper said "I can make your palm open up and reveal a sword if you'd like, that's an extra 50,000. Most people who lose their arms are swordsmen and have their own swords though." the man was shocked and said "You can do that?"

Viper nodded and said "Only the best quality as well, I can't make you named swords but the sword will cut. I guarantee it, or you can come back and get your money back within 3 days." the man took out 50,000 and said "Normal arm please. When should I come pick it up?" Viper said "I need to take your measurements, after that maybe around 3 hours." the man nodded and Viper took his measurements before he left. Viper put the money under the counter and started working on the man's arm while he was waiting for other customers.

A few minutes later

Reiju walked downstairs in her Kimono with an empty plate in her hands, she saw Viper working on an arm and brought the plate to the kitchen before coming back and saying "Goodmorning!" Viper turned his head and his whole demeanor changed, he brightened up and said "You're awake! Did you sleep well?" She smiled and nodded and Viper said "Did you like your breakfast?" Reiju nodded excitedly "I loved it! It was so good! I ate them all." she blushed a bit, embarrassed. Viper laughed happily and said "That's great! I'll make you something different tomorrow! We can go to Sanji's Soba shop later if you want." She nodded and said "That would be nice. How many customers?"

Viper said "Only one so far, but maybe we'll get more later." she nodded and walked to the counter as Viper got back to work. She saw the sign on the counter and blushed before taking the sign down and putting it under the counter and mumbling "Idiot..."

A while later

Viper finished the man's arm and put it aside, he turned around and saw Reiju talking with a man who was missing both legs. He said "Hello, Can I help you today?" the man said "Ah yes! I was wondering if you made legs as well?" Viper nodded and said "Yes sir. Anything you want, I could even make eyes as well." the man said "Really?!" Viper smiled and nodded, the man said "Wow, that's pretty incredible! How much are the legs by the way?" Viper said "50,000 per limb. Much more for special modifications." The man said "I want two legs and on one of them a reverse crescent moon near the ankle, how much is that?" Viper said "It's only 100,000. The design is free, it's not that hard to make.

The man nodded and pulled out 100,000 and put it on the counter and said "Thank you so much, when should I come back?" Viper took the money and said "Maybe in 4 hours? Both legs take around 2 hours each. What color do you want for the moon?" the man said "Black" Viper nodded and put the money away as he said "Please give my wife your measurements, and come back in 4 hours." he walked out to get more materials as the man gave Reiju his measurements.

The man said "How long have you two been married?" Reiju blushed and said "It's been a week so far." the man smiled and said "That's wonderful congratulations! You two look very good together. I can tell he loves you very much." Reiju's face turned red as she said "Thank you. How can you tell?" the man said "The way he looks at you. He might not have looked like it, but he was very hostile when he first spoke to me. hahaha" the man laughed and added "Though I would be too, he really sees you as his treasure. You're a very lucky woman." the man smiled and moved his wheelchair towards the door saying "Thank you for everything! I'll see you later!" and he left.

Reiju watched him go and thought about what he said, as she stood staring at the door absentmindedly. Viper came back with a box and said "He left?" She turned to him and nodded, she watched as he visibly looked more relaxed and said "Alright, give me his measurements, I'll get to work right away. Speaking of which where's that guy who wanted an arm?" he put the box down and frowned, before shrugging and saying "Whatever, he'll come back."

Reiju walked over and gave him the measurements for the man's legs, before she grabbed him and kissed him. Viper was confused but wasn't complaining, he pulled her into his lap as he savored her lips that tasted like apples. She broke off from him and said "That man said that you were hostile towards him at the beginning is that true?" Viper said "Yeah. Who was he to talk to my wi- to you? He could've been a spy of the government." he reddened and caught himself before he said something bad. Reiju, who was obviously not an idiot, knew exactly was he was about to say, she blushed and snapped "You're still on probation! You- You.. You big idiot!" she got off and stomped away, Viper was extremely confused, he said "What's wrong?" Reiju said "Nothing's wrong you idiot! Bastard! Baka! I'm going to make lunch!" Viper watched her go and just said "Um, Okay." he turned around and started working on the man's legs and mumbling to himself "I'll never understand women.." a spoon flew and hit him in the head.

A while later

Viper finished the man's legs and was sitting for both of them to show up. The man for the arms showed up at the same time as the man without legs, they even knew each other the man for the arm said "Hey Ichigo! How you been!" the man without legs said "Kenpachi! Good you?" Kenpachi said "You know living. My wife's pregnant again." Ichigo smiled and said "Congratulations!" they talked as they walked into Viper's shop. Viper watched them and said "You're late." Kenpachi scratched his head and said "I found out my wife was pregnant so I kinda forgot, i'm sorry." Viper said "Congratulations." before he grabbed his arm and pointed to a chair.

Kenpachi walked to the chair and sat down, Viper pulled up a chair and started working on installing his arm. Ichigo said "Finally getting your arm back huh?" Kenpachi said "Yeah. It's been a while, since that fight." Ichigo nodded and sighed "Yeah, it was, wasn't it." as he touched his legs. Viper installed his arm with a neutral face and said "Finished." Kenpachi stood up and moved his new arm around and said "It's just like before! Thank you so much!" Viper said "You paid for it, I don't need thanks. If you want you can tell your friends." Kenpachi nodded and Viper said "You. Come here."

Ichigo chuckled and wheeled his way over, Viper grabbed his new legs and started installing them. While he was installing Reiju brought the food she made over, it was completely black. Viper turned to her and smiled "Thank you." She smiled and put the plate on his desk and said "No problem." she turned to Kenpachi and said "Hello, I'm O-Reiju. Nice to meet you." Kenpachi smiled and said "Kenpachi, nice to meet you as well. You are very beautiful, he's lucky to have you." Reiju smiled and Viper gripped his tools tighter as he kept installing Ichigo's legs, causing Ichigo to laugh and shake his head.

Viper finished and said "Done." before dragging his chair back to his desk and started eating. Ichigo stood up and walked around before tearing up and saying "Amazing! Thank you so much." Viper waved his hand not even turning around. Ichigo chuckled and said to Kenpachi "Let's go get a drink to celebrate it's on me." Kenpachi smiled and the duo left, they got outside and Ichigo laughed and said "Did you have to compliment his wife while he was putting my legs on?" Kenpachi was confused and said "Why?" Ichigo said "I've only seen him smile when his wife's around. He almost stabbed you with his tools just then." Kenpachi sweat a bit and said "Really?" Ichigo nodded and said "Yeah, anyways let's go!" and they left.

Viper finished his food and said "I love when you cook for me." he leaned back and patted his stomach, Reiju smiled and Viper got a call. He tapped his ear piece and said "City morgue." Sanji said "Very funny. Where's your shop?" Viper said "Just walk down the street, there's a shop with a sign that says 'V-R Prosthetics' could you wait a minute though, I'm currently in the middle of something." he winked at Reiju, who rolled her eyes. Sanji snapped "You better fucking not be! I'll be there in 2 minutes!" Viper said "I definitely don't have time then." that only made Sanji angrier and he said "You're gonna need a new prosthetic for yourself you rainbow haired bastard!" and he hung up.

Viper chuckled and Reiju sighed "You're both idiots.." Viper spun her around into his lap and said "Maybe, but I wasn't lying. I am in the middle of something." He gently kissed her lips and said "You still taste like apples." he snickered and licked his lips. Reiju lightly slapped his chest and said "You became a lot more bold after we started sleeping in the same bed." as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Viper smiled and stroked her leg and said "I guess. I know you won't reject my actions, at least you haven't so far." Reiju giggled and said "Maybe i'll start doing that then. I don't recall letting you off probation." Viper chuckled and said "I mean, if I can kiss you and sleep with you in my arms am I really on probation? I'm happy just like this." Reiju smiled and closed her eyes as he stroked her leg.

All of a sudden

The door shot open and Sanji busted in saying "You damn bastard!" Viper turned his head and chuckled saying "Looks like time's up." Reiju giggled and got off his lap. He stood up and walked to an empty table, sat down and said "Would you like a prosthetic sir? Maybe a new brain? Or a new.. you know, down there?" Sanji said "My 'down there' is perfectly fine. You might need a new one after I rip yours off." Viper rolled his eyes and said "Any information for me?" Sanji lit a cigarette and said "I met Robin, she's working as a geisha. Ussop is selling toad oils, Franky is working as a carpenter, and mosshead's a ronin." Viper nodded and said "Where did the rest go?" Sanji exhaled and said "They went to find the samurai and that ninja guy." Viper nodded and said "Next time you see Robin, Ussop, Franky, and Zoro tell them to come here. They need their NSICS." Sanji nodded and said "Sure. How's your shop?"

Reiju said "We already got two customers, we made 150,000 beri." Sanji was shocked and said "150,000?!" Viper said "50,000 a piece, I need to make a living too." Sanji snapped "It's a fake store! We're not going to stay here forever!" Viper sighed and said "I know." Reiju looked at him and Sanji sighed and said "Anyways, I think we'll need to wait for Luffy until we start operations. Or until we find the samurai." Viper nodded and said "Also did you get a morning visit from someone today?" Sanji nodded and said "I did. Why? Did you?" Viper grit his teeth and said "I did. He said he was Orochi's subordinate, he had a tall head and long ears. Fucking bastard woke me up."

Sanji gave Reiju a look and she shook her head, he let out a breath of relief and said "I got visited by the same guy. Maybe everyone gets a visit from him." Viper frowned and said "Maybe but I doubt it, when I closed the door I felt him hide near the building and listen to what I said after wards, I said some nonsense and he just disappeared." Sanji said "Your observation didn't catch him?" Viper shook his head and said "It did. I covered him in it and he literally disappeared out of thin air. Might be a ninja from Orochi's forces." Sanji nodded and said "I'll watch for him. I gotta go open my shop for lunch. Come by later." the duo nodded and Sanji left.

A while later

Viper and Reiju closed up the shop and were walking down the street towards Sanji's Soba cart. Viper was smiling while holding Reiju's hand and humming a song. They reached Sanji's cart and sat at the table next to the cart. Viper said "Hey Soba man! Two bowls." Sanji gave him a look and Reiju giggled. Sanji brought them two bowls and went back to serving the customers. Viper was eating with Reiju and staring at her while smiling, he turned his head and saw all the men staring at her as well. He glared at them and tapped his foot on the ground, sending a wind and blowing them all away. Reiju giggled at Viper and kept eating.

Suddenly

A huge man stood in front of the table, he ignored Viper and said to Reiju "How about you come with me and I show you a good time." Viper and Sanji's eyes widened, before they could do anything Reiju frowned and said "No thank you." the man said "It wasn't a question." he reached out his hand to grab her but Viper grabbed his wrist and said "Excuse me. Mind keeping your disgusting hands away from my wife?" as he squeezed his hand and crushed the man's bones.

Viper stood up as he crushed the bones in the man's wrist, causing the man to fall to his knees. Viper said with a straight face "Here's what's going to happen. You're going to kneel in apology to my wife and i'm not going to kill you in front of all these people. Do you understand?" the man swung his katana at Viper and said "Or you can die!" Viper caught the blade with his fingers and said "Seems like I wasn't clear enough." he threw the katana away, and pulled the man's arm behind him before grabbing his head and saying "I said KNEEL!" as he smashed the man's head into the ground forcing him to kneel.

Viper pulled up his head and said "Did you understand that time?" the man nodded frantically, Viper smiled and said "Well, you should do a few more don't you think?" he slammed his head into the ground again, before pulling him back up and saying "One more for good measure, maybe you'll remember proper manners in the future." he pulled back the man's head and slammed it so hard into the ground, it made cracks. Viper stood up and dusted off his hands he grabbed the man's collar and threw him in the air out of the capital before sitting back down and eating his food.

The crowd stared at him, the men were terrified and the woman were in love. Sanji nodded and smirked, Reiju was looking at Viper with a smile and said "I could've handled it." Viper frowned and said "I didn't want you to dirty your hands with garbage." Reiju really wanted to just kiss him but she held back and said "Maybe you get a surprise later." Viper perked up and said "Really?!" Reiju giggled and nodded. Viper was ecstatic as he hummed happily and kept eating his food.

Sometime later

Robin, Franky, Ussop, and Zoro showed up at the Soba cart and said "Hey, 4 Sobas." Sanji said "Sure thing Mosshead. You just missed the show." Robin said "I knew I heard a noise! What happened?" Sanji smirked and pointed to Viper and Reiju. The four of them turned and saw Viper and Reiju and were stunned, Franky said "He actually did it..." Zoro burst out laughing and said "The love-cooks sister is with the snake! HAHAHAH" Sanji broke his cooking tool in two and grit his teeth before grabbing a new one. Robin smiled and walked over, the other three followed her.

They sat down at the table and said "Hello." Viper turned and said "Hey! What's up?" they deadpanned and Franky snapped "What do you mean 'what's up' Rainbow hair?! You're sitting here with the 'Pink Princess'! That's what's up! Idiot!" Viper chuckled and said "Yeah. Though some of the people here are pretty rude." he grumbled about the guy he just smashed into the ground. Reiju rolled her eyes and said "Hello, I'm Reiju nice to meet you."

Robin smiled and said "Hello, I'm Robin, nice to meet you as well." the other three introduced themselves and Zoro said "You're a lot nicer than that shitty cook over there." Sanji snapped another tool and sighed before getting a new one. Reiju giggled and said "Thank you." they started bombarding her with questions. Reiju was a little overwhelmed and tried answering them all, Zoro said "Do you know about the other girls?" Reiju glared at Viper and said "Unfortunately yes." Zoro laughed and Robin said "What was the sound from before?" Reiju laughed and explained what happened.

The group just looked at Viper, who shrugged and said "He was trash anyway, I hope he died." Ussop choked on his saliva and Zoro laughed again. Viper sneered and said "I don't know what your laughing about Mosshead, the cook's bounty is higher than yours now." Zoro choked and said "What?! By how much?" Viper said "10 million" Zoro flared up and said "I should've came with you guys." Robin said "What happened there anyway?" Viper was about to explain when Reiju said "I can tell you. If you want we can eat at our shop and talk there." Robin and the rest smiled and nodded, they ate and went towards Viper and Reiju's shop. Viper said "Shit-cook, meet us at the shop later." Sanji nodded.

The group was sitting in the shop and Reiju was explaining what happened on Whole Cake Island. Viper nudged Zoro and pointed his chin in a certain direction and walked off, Zoro got up and followed him. Usopp and Franky were looking at the arms and legs that Viper made for the customers who were coming in the next day, leaving Robin and Reiju sitting at the table. Robin said "Could you tell me how you two met? I've seen him with every other girl but never so gentle like this." Reiju giggled and said "Sure, but you have to tell me about the other girls." Robin smiled and nodded. Reiju started telling Robin about how her and Viper met and what happened afterwards, and soon the two girls started giggling.

Viper brought Zoro to the bed room and pulled out Sotohebi. He said "I didn't want to bury him without you so I kept him around. I want you to know he died in battle while taking out the other person's sword. I'm sorry." Zoro sighed and said "It's not your fault. I think it was quite happy with you. Where are you going to bury it?" Viper frowned and said "I don't know. I was thinking in this backyard or something." Zoro said "I got a better place. Follow me." Viper nodded and the duo left.

Zoro brought Viper to a graveyard and said "Here's the spot." Viper nodded and made a hole, before wrapping Sotohebi in cloth and laying it in the dirt. He picked up some dirt and handed it to Zoro, who took it and sprinkled it on top of Sotohebi. Viper then filled in the hole and made a wooden cross, the duo stood in silence for a moment before walking back. Zoro said "What are you going to do now?" Viper said "I got a master swordsmith to make me his dream katana. I fought him with Sotohebi until it broke, I also made him a new arm. He said he wanted to thank me for the arm and the honor of being Sotohebi's final battle by making me a katana."

Zoro nodded and said "Your style doesn't work with Katanas though." Viper said "I trained in all one-sword styles with Vista from the old man's crew. My previous style died along with Sotohebi, it deserves that much respect. I made a new one already combining all the experience over two years." Zoro grinned and said "We never finished our battle on Fishman Island." Viper grinned and said "Getting itchy?" Zoro chuckled and said "Extremely." Viper laughed and said "I think my sword will be done soon, try not to get into too much trouble. Oh yeah! I almost forgot! The old man said that if you fight with armament on your swords long enough for it to turn black permanently, your sword will increase a rank!"

Zoro was incredulous and said "Really?! So Shusui has increased already." Viper nodded and said "Yeah, maybe Wado Ichimonji will become a supreme rank!" Zoro chuckled and said "That would be perfect wouldn't it?" Viper laughed and said "It would, anyways I have some stuff for you guys." Zoro said "What kind of things?" Viper said "Really great things! You'll see, you might have a hard time understanding because the only thing that runs through your mind is cut." Zoro snapped and said "I'll 'cut' you!" Viper laughed and said "See?! Hahahaha!" as they made their way back.

The duo walked back into the shop and saw the group was there, Reiju was glaring at Viper for some reason, he was confused and said "Um, are you okay?" she said "I don't know. Why don't you ask yourself?" Viper was truly stunned, he really had no answer for that. He mumbled to himself "Is it because I left without telling you? I'm sorry, I went out with Zoro to bury Sotohebi." Reiju sighed and said "Later." Viper nodded, worried, before turning to the rest of the group and seeing their teasing looks, he grit his teeth and said "I will replace all your limbs I swear.." they quickly returned to normal looks and Ussop mumbled "He's like a puppy that turns into a giant monster..."

Viper took a deep breath and pulled out 4 more NSICS, passing them to each of the crew according to their colors while saying "This is NSICS. You put it in like this.." he demonstrated and then started to explain how it worked, he said "those of you who don't have observation haki say 'lifesign'" Robin and Franky said "Lifesign" and glasses formed on their faces, Viper explained how it worked and how you can mark someone as a friendly so that they're green aswell. He passed them all little booklets and told them to read it, they read the booklets and started familiarizing themselves with the earpieces. Viper sighed and tapped his earpiece, causing the glasses to form as he said "Cane, Luffy status check." Cane said "Same as before." Viper tapped his glasses, sending them back before saying "I need to put a location tracker on Luffys.."

The group talked for a while before leaving, Viper said "Always keep the NSICS on, and don't lose them. I don't know where the Sunny is and I don't have the necessary tools to make more, also everyone on the crew already has them so you can contact the rest." they nodded and left the shop. Viper closed the door and locked it before turning around and saying "Did you like them?" Reiju nodded and said "Yeah, they're really nice. I like Robin a lot!" Viper smiled and said "That's good, i'm glad." he yawned and walked towards the stairs, Reiju stopped him and said "Weren't we gonna talk?" Viper nodded and picked her up as he said "In bed."

Viper got undressed and took off his bandage as he stood in front of a mirror, staring at his new scar. Reiju wrapping her arms around his back touching his chest, while she looked in the mirror and said "You're an idiot." Viper chuckled and turned around, catching her off guard. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss, she was already in her underwear and he picked her up and started walking towards the bed. He held her with one hand and blew the covers open with his other, he laid her down and pulled the covers over them before he broke off from her lips.

Viper chuckled and said "Why were you upset before?" she trailed her finger over his scar as she said "Robin told me about the other girls." Viper sighed and Reiju said "I just don't want to be like that, if that's what it is then i-" Viper cut her off and said seriously "Never. Seriously, you are nowhere near the same as anyone else. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, no matter how short or long it may be. Maybe i'm being too fast with my feelings but I love you Reiju" he smiled at her stunned look and said "Seeing that were pirates and can die at any time, I will just say it." he chuckled and said jokingly "If I die tomorrow, at least you'll know that I loved you."

Reiju laughed and started crying as she said "I love you too you idiot." Viper was shocked now, he said "W-W-WHAT?!" Reiju giggled and kissed him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, Viper closed his eyes and kissed her back. Before he took his head back and realized "Does that mean I'm off probation?!" Reiju touched her chin and made a look of contemplation, Viper swore that was the cutest thing he had ever seen, he tapped his earpiece and said "Cane take a picture fast." Cane took the picture and said "Got it." Viper tapped his glasses reverting them, and laughing at Reiju's embarrassed face.

Reiju sighed and said "I guess so.." Viper was so happy, he grabbed Reiju and kissed her before laughing like a child. Reiju giggled and said "Nothing's different." Viper said "So? I don't have to wait for the cook now!" he hugged her tightly and said "This is the best." Reiju shook her head and said "I almost forgot your surprise!" Viper blinked and said "That wasn't it?" Reiju lightly slapped him and removed her bra, Viper almost died, he fell backwards off the bed and smashed into the ground. She looked over and saw he was bleeding from his nose and his eyes turned to swirls as he mumbled "I'm in heaven, this is a dream.." She laughed and said "You're not it's real."

He got back on to the bed and she smirked at him and dropped a bomb "I'm on my period." Viper said "It happened today didn't it?" she nodded and he said "I'll make you something for it tomorrow, I think the cook has some recipes for that..." he called Sanji and started asking him about period foods. Reiju was stunned at where his thoughts went, he didn't even care that he couldn't have sex with her, he immediately asked for foods that will help her alleviate her pain. Viper got the recipes after promising Sanji not to touch Reiju and hung up before saying "Idiot you're not here heheh" he looked up and saw Reiju crying.

Viper wiped her tears away and said "What's wrong? Does it hurt? I can go make you something right now it won't take lon-" she kissed him and said "Idiot, it doesn't hurt. I'm happy." Viper said "Then why were you crying? Don't lie to me, you don't have to act tough if you're really in pain." Reiju said "Because you're an idiot. I'm basically naked in front of you and tell you i'm on my period and your first thought is about my well being. You weren't upset you couldn't have sex with me, you immediately called Sanji for food to make me feel less pain! If you're not an idiot, who is?"

Viper smiled and said "I'm just happy to be with you. I will do it later anyway, what's the rush?" Reiju almost cried again, Viper wrapped his arms around her body and pressed her against his body before saying "But you're actually quite the witch eh? You get naked and tell me I can't have sex with you, what am I supposed to do with this?" he moved her hand to his dick, she gasped and said "So big?!" before giggling and saying "You're just gonna have to deal with it as she rubbed her hand against it.

Viper grit his teeth and said "You really are a witch! This is almost torture!" Reiju giggled and felt it get bigger, she paled and said "It gets bigger?!" Viper laughed and said "Yep, I know i'm pretty amazing." Reiju rolled her eyes and squeezed, he winced and she said "How amazing are you?" Viper started to sweat as he said "I'm not amazing! Not amazing at all!" Reiju giggled and she removed her hand, before sitting on top of him. She felt a shock run through her body and she said "I really wish I wasn't on my period now..." Viper mumbled "Same here.." she laughed and moved her body on top of it and said "Really.." Viper really wanted nothing more than to just do it now but he closed his eyes and said "Really." she kept moving around before getting off and saying "I'll be right back." Viper looked at her and noticed her panties were drenched, he smirked and said "You're not going to finish the job?"

She stopped and turned around before nibbling on her lips and running back saying "Only this one time. Then you have to wait." Viper nodded and she pulled down his pants, revealing his huge dick she said "That's not going to fit in my mouth..." she put it in her mouth anyway, she moved her head up and down while she stroked at the same time. Viper was in heaven as she licked his dick with her tongue, circling around it and forcing it into her throat. She took it out of her mouth and stroked it with her hand as she sucked on his balls, before going back to sucking on his shaft.

30 minutes later

Reiju put his entire dick in her mouth and Viper came, she swallowed everything and took her mouth away licking her lips. Viper watched her and really wanted to push her down but stopped himself, she said "I'm going to take a shower, wanna come with me?" Viper hesitated and said "I think I might lose control.." she winked and said "Can't control yourself? It's a shame I need someone to wash my back.." as she sauntered out of the room, Viper immediately threw the covers off and followed her.

The next morning Viper woke up to another knocking at the door, he seethed and looked at a half naked Reiju next to him. He smiled warmly and gently kissed her lips before grabbing his kimono and draping it over his shoulders and walking out the door, silently closing the door.

He walked downstairs and opened the door and said "Why are you here." Sanji sneered and said "Why? Busy?" Viper sneered back and said "Yeah, hugging your sister in my bed." Sanji snapped and was about to yell, when Viper put his hand over his mouth and said "She's still sleeping, if you wake her up I will kill you." Sanji seethed and said "You better have not-" Viper said "Relax, she's on her period anyway. I got good news though, I'm off probation!" Sanji said "Were you supposed to be on until I was?" as they walked to the kitchen.

Viper got in the kitchen and said "Well, I told her I loved her last night and she said the same so.." Sanji sighed and said "As long as she's happy I guess." Viper smiled and said "Maybe you can try that with Nami, I haven't seen you swoon over another girl since we got here." Sanji put down the bag of food and said "I don't know, maybe she doesn't feel the same way. She was pretty pissed when she slapped me at Whole Cake Island." Viper waved his hand and said "You won't know until you try right? Also she looked pretty jealous when you flew off with Pudding to make a cake, what happened with Pudding by the way?"

Sanji said "I think she did something and then erased my memories of it, anyways make sure you cook them exactly how I told you. I'll see you later." Viper nodded and waved at Sanji before getting to cooking.

A while later

Viper brought a tray full of breakfast for Reiju, he put it on the table before covering her with the blanket and kissing her again and leaving the room. He walked back downstairs, opened the shop door, picked up the newspaper before walking back to his chair, putting up his 'my wife is sleeping' sign and leaning back. He lit a cigarette and started to read the newspaper in shorts and a kimono, that was draped over his shoulders, waiting for customers.

A few days went by just like that

Viper and Reiju were sitting in the shop and Anenokoji came by with a huge box on his back. Viper looked over and smiled before saying "Your finished already?" Anenokoji grinned and said "They don't call me a master swordsmith for nothing kid! And this arm of yours helped a lot!" Viper smiled and said "Happy to be of service old man, now show me!" Anenokoji said "Alright, alright, don't get your panties in a bunch!" Viper rolled his eyes and Anenokoji placed the box on the table before saying "This is my greatest creation! I named it Yumeoibito!" he opened the box revealing a sword shaped cloth, he unwrapped the cloth and slowly revealed Yumeoibito.

Viper stared it the sword and said "It's beautiful!" he saw a beautiful sword, it had a black lacquered sheathe with a snake and a pink cord on it, the tsuba was shaped like a cloud and was completely flat, and the hilt was pink with black accents. It was 110 cm long. Anenokoji said "It is the same as Ō Wazamono grade, and can be blackened to Saijō Ō Wazamono grade!" he pulled on the sheathe and revealed a part of the sword, showing the layered wave-like hamon on a silver blade and a pure black back. Anenokoji sheathed it again and held it with two hands towards Viper saying "Please accept my sword!"

Viper put the cigarette in his mouth and stood up, he silently took the sword with two hands and walked past Anenokoji out the door, Reiju and Anenokoji followed him outside. Viper stood in the middle of the street standing in front of a tree, he had his geta on and was wearing shorts, with no shirt and his kimono was draped over his shoulders with his tri-colored hair tied into a top knot. Reiju looked at his back and saw his kimono flutter in the wind, her heartbeat accelerated as she looked at him.

Viper held Yumeoibito by his left hip and slowly moved his right hand towards the hilt. He grabbed the hilt tightly and felt the sword buzz, he closed his eyes and slashed towards the tree before putting the sword back in it's sheathe in the time it took to blink. Viper turned around and walked away before clicking the sword back into place, as soon as the clicking sound rang the tree suddenly slid off and stuck itself into the ground right next to the stump.

Anenokoji was wild with joy and laughed as he said "Excellent! Thank you so much! Vinosuke, I know you will make Yumeoibito happy!" Viper exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said "Thanks old man. It's perfect, you did an amazing job." Anenokoji laughed and said "Don't mention it, a sword is only as good as the one who wields it." as he walked back to his house. Viper smiled and turned to a blushing Reiju and said "Handsome?" Reiju nodded dumbly and Viper laughed as he kissed her and said "Let's go for dinner at Sanji's" he grabbed her hand and locked the door to the shop and walked towards Sanji's cart.

(Author's Note)

Hey guys! Phew took me like 7 hours to write this! It's still pre-Wano start and there's a lot of Reiju-Viper stuff but I think it was really good! Kinda cheesy sometimes but still good.

A new sword! Unfortunately Sotohebi didn't last but Yumeoibito is here to stay! If you want to know Yumeoibito means 'Dream Chaser' in Japanese (courtesy of google translate)

Also Viper is going to use his new style for Wano, probably less monster point transformations and more tremor fruit powers. Still going to use hybrid form though. I want to keep the 'Swordsman' theme for Wano, because I think it's better that way.
