Chapter 29: You Want to be a What?

At Tyr's home at the outskirts of the village. He was currently serving some tea. It was his duty as an established gentleman.

Maria and Hancock were glaring at each other though. "I swear to God, I saw lightning come out from their eyes." Tyr sighed.

"Wah, who's the pretty nee-chans, Tyr?" Kuina asked as she partook on his tea cakes with Zoro who doesn't give a flying fuck, just stuffing his face.

"Oh, she's Hancock. She's a treasured friend. And the other two is Sandersonia and Marigold, her sisters." Tyr introduced.

"Gah! Y-yes, friend." Hancock gritted her teeth.

"So, just like Maria then?" Kuina pointed at the blonde and she also received a stray.

"K-Kuina... I prefer companion." Maria gloated at Hancock as Tyr accepted her into his group.

"Hmph, too bad for you. I'm Tyr's 1st mate." Hancock glared at her.

"Oh yeah, when we do start to explore the grand line. Hancock will be my vice-captain. Marigold and Sandersonia can be the chefs." Tyr smiled at them.

Hancock smirked at Maria and she gritted her teeth.

"How about Yamato though, Tyr?" Maria wasn't done yet.

"Yamato?" Hancock raised a brow and Tyr lit up at the riot that was Yamato.

"Ahhh, Kaido's daughter. We met at Wano, Maria came from there too." Tyr chuckled as he remembered their party before he left.

"Kaido's daughter!? T-tell me more." Hancock demanded.

"Yamato has soft, white hair with blue-green tips. She has much more personality than you too." Maria smirked and Hancock glared at Tyr.

Maria busted out a picture of Yamato and Hancock grabbed it with trembling hands.

"Yeah, Yamato's a riot. When we first met, she role played as Kozuki, Oden. Though don't tease Hancock, she's a loyal comrade." Tyr chided Maria.

"Tche, fine." Maria accepted defeat and Hancock looked at him like how Luffy looks at meat.

"D-did he just call me his loyal wife?" Hancock was in cloud nine.

"No, not really." Sandersonia intervened immediately and Hancock deadpanned at her.

"Nee-san, you're having a delusion." Marigold double down.

"She'd make a fine wife though? All of you will." Tyr smiled at them and they froze.

'How terrifying, this guy has us dancing in his fingertips.' The ladies squinted their eyes as they stared at each other.

"We'll need to have a summit later." Hancock suddenly spoke and they nodded.

"A summit? What would you guys even talk about?" Tyr was confused.

"Nothing, nothing. How's Ace and Luffy though? We haven't seen them in a long time." Sandersonia remembered the energetic duo.

"Ohh, how about we visit them?" Tyr suggested and they nodded.

"Ace? Luffy? Your brothers? I did wonder where they are." Maria wanted to win some brownie points with them.

"Oh! Can I come with? I got a taste of adventure in the grand line! And I just can't get enough of exploring!" Kuina raised her hand.

"Perfect, when you get back. I'll beat you!" Zoro smirked as while she was going out adventuring, he will stay to hone his blade.

"Heh, like you will beat me." Kuina grinned, thinking about their little secret training equipment.

"Sure, let's go and meet up with them. I bet you'll like them." Tyr smiled and they sailed towards Dawn island with Hancock's ship.

"How are you at Amazon Lily, Hancock?" Tyr asked her as she followed him around everywhere.

"Amazon Lily huh? I'm supposed to be the next empress. But I think I will refrain." Hancock revealed.

"Wow, the next empress? You're rising through the ranks." Tyr chuckled.

"I don't want to stay there if you're not with me." Hancock said seriously.

"Hmmm, but remember our dream. We will need allies to accomplish that. You being an empress of Amazon Lily will bring us tons of strong people that naturally use haki." Tyr thought about it more logically.

"But... Wait." Hancock went pensive and she looked really conflicted.

"I trust you with leading them too. I think you'll be a just ruler. Unlike the world government." Tyr patted her head with a smile.

"Yes!" Hancock gave in immediately and the Boa sisters rolled their eyes.

Though they agreed, it was definitely much better for her to develop Amazon Lily.

Everyone there has a natural inclination to haki. Meaning, almost everyone there who can fight can beat the shit out of pirates in the first half of the grand line.

The only reason the navy hasn't tried to conquer them yet is due to them being in the calm belt that's infested with sea kings that can reach five kilometers in length.

"You said that Ace is going to be a part of your crew. What about Luffy?" Marigold asked Tyr and he rubbed his chin.

"I don't know what he would want really. But he's a free spirit. Unpredictable one, that guy." Tyr laughed.

"What are they like, Tyr?" Kuina was excited to meet new friends.

"Hmm, I'd say that Ace is temperemental and impulsive. But he's very loyal and caring. Meanwhile, Luffy's pretty much the same. Though he's kinder, selfish about food though." Tyr chuckled.

They then sailed through east blue leisurely. Hancock's ship arrived at Dawn island and they felt the observation haki of Shanks' crew.

"They're strong." The Boa sisters prepared for battle.

"Are you sure you want to go here, Tyr?" Maria asked him and he nodded.

"Oh, them? They're the Red-hair pirates. Don't worry about them." Tyr shrugged them off.

When they docked on the island, Shanks' crew checked them out immediately.

"What? It's just you, Tyr." Lucky Roo sighed and drank from a barrel.

"Whew, you lucky bastard! Look at all the babes with you!" Yassop whistled.

"Curse you, Tyr. You philandering bastard! I knew you would just play with Uta's heart!" Shanks pointed at him accusingly.

"The things I do for my captain." Benn smacked Shanks.

"Tyr! Where have you been! You just suddenly disappeared!" Uta clung to his leg as she cried.

"Hah, sorry, sorry. You were just sound asleep with Ace and Luffy." Tyr smiled wryly, rubbing her head softly.

"Kuu! Why can't Uta be that kind to me!? What am I? Just a stranger?" Shanks gritted his teeth in jealousy.

"Uta, huh?" Hancock squinted her eyes at her for a bit.

'It's okay, she's young. Just like Luffy and Ace, Tyr's just great so she's attached to him, yeah.' Hancock did mental gymnastics.

'Ahh... They're basically the same age...' She then had a realization and she began to pale.

Even Kuina was older than him. And they were attached to him.

"Good lord, why have you given me so many troubles?" Hancock was shocked at how many girls she would compete with.

"There, there, nee-san." Marigold and Sandersonia patted her back.

"Wow, she's so tall." Uta looked at Maria. The blonde then smiled at her.

"Hmmm, do you want to be tall in the future too, honey? Don't worry, you have a lot of growing to do." Maria smiled at her.

'She's soo... Cool.' Uta had stars in her eyes as she wanted to be like Maria.

"Nee-chan, what's your name!?" Uta asked her.

"Why? Did you perhaps taken a liking to me? I'm Maria, darling." She chuckled and Uta clung to her.

"Please teach me how to be like you!" Uta wanted to be a diva.

And she was looking at multiple ones right now. But what she wanted was Maria's charisma and charm.

"Shanks, I think you'll have a lot of trouble in the future." Yassop whispered to him.

"Hey, Tyr. Did you know? Luffy turned into rubber!" Ace suddenly pulled Luffy's head and it stretched.

"What the actual..." Tyr blinked. "Ahh! It's because of a crappy tasting fruit that Shanks had!" Luffy explained and Tyr immediately stared at Shanks.

"Hehe, he got it in secret?" Shanks scratched his head sheepishly.

'He gave Luffy a devil fruit? Why?' Tyr squinted his eyes.

It was impossible for Shanks and his crew to just forget about something so valuable.

They would either need tons of booze and get wasted to oblivion. Or simply give it to Luffy in the pretense of not noticing him eat it.

"I'm watching you, Shanks." Tyr gave him a side eye.

"Enough about that, teach me how to be as cool as you!" Uta looked at the women in Tyr's group.

They had everything what Uta wanted. "Go on, entertain her." Tyr smiled wryly as Uta was still a bit overbearing.

"You're lucky Tyr ordered me to hang out with you, little girl." Hancock pointed at her while bending backwards.

"Why does she do that anyway?" Tyr asked Sandersonia and Marigold.

"Ahhh... That's her extremely looking down on someone pose." Sandersonia laughed.

"It's when she looks down on someone so much she doesn't even look at them." Marigold shrugged.

"Oi! Is my daughter not good enough for you!?" Shanks was about to pick a fight.

"Hmph, shut up mongrel. Tyr is the only one who can tell me what to do. Now, girl. Remember that to be beautiful, is to keep mongrels like that one in check." Hancock pointed at Shanks.

"Ahhh, like this? Shanks, you're annoying." Uta harrumphed at him and he was sent reeling.

"Gah! M-my heart!" Shanks did an orz. "Captain!" Roo and Yassop immediately helped him up.

"Uta, nice job." Benn gave her a thumbs up as the vice-captain grinned.

"Why is she obsessed in getting pretty? It's obviously better to beat people up." Kuina shook her head.

"Right?" Ace grinned at her and they immediately became friends.

"Shishishi, I'll become stronger than all of you! Because I'm gonna be the king of the pirates!" Luffy proclaimed.

"You what?" Tyr raised a brow as he thought that Luffy would be an adventurer instead.

Well, they would be wanted still, due to Tyr. But they're not pirates.

"Roo and Yassop tells me that they always go to cool places! And I want to find the One Piece!" Luffy had a massive grin on his face.

"The One Piece huh?" Shanks chuckled as he looked at Luffy.

"You've been having big dreams eh? We've only been away for a month." Benn snorted, but he had a smile on his face.

"Why though?" Tyr asked and Luffy smirked. "Because they're free!"

"I see... Then go get em tiger." Tyr rubbed his head and Luffy giggled.

"Yeah... Sabo would've wanted that too." Ace smiled softly, but he had a melancholic tone.

"Sabo?" Tyr was confused. "He was our brother... We even shared some sake, Tyr. Too bad you weren't there." Luffy got downcast.

"What happened to him?" Tyr crouched and patted their heads.

"He... He was killed by a celestial dragon." Ace explained.

'Wait a minute...' Tyr almost smiled at the coincidence.

'Should I tell them?' Tyr looked at Maria and she shrugged.

"I'm sure he's in a better place." Tyr ruffled their hair and they nodded.

"Now, tell me how you met this little guy." Tyr smiled and the two sat down.

"Well, I was robbing some pirates at Gray terminal." Ace admitted and Tyr furrowed his brows.

"Yeah! I distracted them. It was a dump, so I had a lot of places to hide in." Luffy laughed.

"He was also stealing from bad guys. And we bumped into him while he was hiding it." Ace smiled as he remembered.

"Then he waved a pipe at us! So we beat him up real good!" Luffy flexed his bicep and Tyr laughed.

"We then interrogated him while he was tied up. He was a noble and he hated his family. They tried to burn Gray terminal, Tyr." Ace frowned.

"Did they?" He looked towards the direction of the Goa kingdom.

"You sure you wanna blow your cover like that?" The Boa sisters held his shoulders.

"Maybe later... Did the place get razed?" Tyr asked and the boys nodded.

"We got distracted by pirates that were hired by them and we couldn't beat them fast enough." Ace looked down on the ground.

"It's fine, you did what you could. You're just a kid. You shouldn't have intervened in the first place. I'm proud of you two." Tyr hugged them.

"That sucked, it happened while we were gathering supplies at other islands." Shanks sighed.

"Makes sense." Maria nodded and they got quiet.

"We shouldn't mope around for Ace and Luffy's friend. Come on, let's celebrate. He's surely doing good at another place." Tyr carried them and Uta climbed his neck.

"Un." Ace and Luffy sniffled. "Don't worry, Luffy, Ace. You'll get payback someday." Hancock almost hissed as the celestial dragons caused another incident.

"Grow strong, we'll beat up one of those pricks later for sure." Tyr squinted his eyes at the direction of Mary Geoise.
