Chapter Text
It rained on the pirate kings' ship decks. The waves crashed against the boats causing them to shake with enough force to launch barrels of gunpowder and sake overboard. As the crews' respective helmsmen began to steer away, a meeting between the captains start.
"Damn weather" Captain Eustass Kid, The Pirate King of Steel, yelled as his cup of booze spilled on him "I just bought this coat". "Language, Kid" Captain Trafalgar D. Water Law, The Pirate King of Medicine, scolded. "Well sorry, but i didn't expect our ships to sail into a storm" Kid snapped "Besides, Luffy hasn't explained why we are hear?".
"Yeah, did you call us" asked Captain Scratchmen Apoo, The Pirate King of Tunes. Luffy, THE Pirate King, moved his hat so it can reveal a face of annoyance. "We have been chased by the navy ever since we formed. Even when we think they are gone, they come back for round 2" Luffy says in an annoyed tone "So i asked Jinbe to guide the other ships into this storm. Nami said it should be fine as long as we don't split up".
"Wow, look at Mr. Mature here" Kid said in a sarcastic tone "Why the hell didn't you tell us". "Because i knew you would flip out" Luffy responded. "Wow, Luffy said something smart for once" Captain Urouge, The Pirate King of The Sky, said in surprise. "The cards told me that something surprising would happen today and, if what i heard was true, this is it" Said Captain Basil Hawkins, The Pirate King of Magic, in a monotone yet surprised voice.
"Shut up" Luffy yelled causing Urouge and Kid to laugh. "Is this all we are gonna do?" Asked Captain Capone Bege, The Pirate King of Castles. "No, we need to find a way to not constantly be on the navy's radar. We can't land on an island without them destroying it so they can kill us" Luffy said. The Captains that weren't laughing nodded in agreement. "Drake," Luffy said to Captain X Drake, The Pirate King of Militia, who raised his head from his book "Do you have any ideas? Being an ex-navy soldier, you should have any ideas".
Drake stared into space for a bit and then said "We can try to make our movement less traceable. Before i became a member of SWORD, i used to track pirate movement patterns. If we can make our patterns more random, we can at least make it harder for them to track us". Luffy nodded and then asked if anyone had any objections. Law raised his hand and asked "How can we be sure if this works?". Drake, wanting to get back to his book, just said "It's our only option".
Law nodded and decided to retract his objection. Drake's plan would be used after they leave the storm that had increased in intensity. "Zoro, Killer." Luffy yelled "You can unlock the door now, the meeting has concluded". A click came from the door and it opens. Zoro and Killer are on other sides of the door as the captains begin to leave and head to their respective ship.
As Luffy gathered his stuff(a log book for meetings and a stack of plates with the top one having a half eaten steak), he noticed that Jewelry Bonney, The Pirate Queen of Age, still sitting in her chair. "Hey," Luffy said "Why are you still here?".
Bonney stared down before speaking "Do you think i'm useless?". Luffy tilted his head in confusion. "What?" he asked. "DO YOU THINK I'M USELESS?!?!" she yelled at him with tears in her eyes. "Where is this coming from?" Luffy asked as his stuff down. "Kid said that i was the runt of the litter when comes to the alliance. That my devil fruit power is 'useless' and 'completely pathetic'. I tried to get it out of my head but it keep thinking about the tone of voice he used." she then grabbed the steak from the top plate then asked "Do you think i am useless?".
Luffy clenched his fist out of rage and then told Bonney "No, there are other reasons i chose you guys other than kindness and bounties". He grabbed Bonneys free hand, causing her to blush. "I chose you guys because you are all powerful. I chose you for the fact of your fruit. It's an amazing ability". Bonneys eyes widened as she blush harder. "Kid was being an idiot for telling you that and was probably jealous. I mean why would he tell such idiotic things to-" Luffy stopped himself from saying something he might regret.
"What" Bonney said with her face as red as a tomato. "To a strong and beautiful woman like you" Luffy said in an embarrassed tone. He had developed feeling for her since he saw her wanted poster on Sabaody and it was reinforced when he actually met her. He wanted to express his feelings to her after they get off the navy's radar but after seeing her cry, he couldn't hold his feelings anymore.
Bonney dropped the, now cold as ice, steak and stared at Luffy in surprise. Luffy turned around and tried walk away due to embarrassment. Bonney grabbed his shoulder, turned his shoulder, and kissed him. She had developed feeling for him after his participation in the destruction of Enies Lobby, The Impel Down Breakout, The Paramount War, and the defeat of Kaido. Then she met him and she wanted him since then. Now here she is, kissing the man she had a crush on for 3 years.
Luffy was surprised, but he kissed back and hugged her. They break away from the kiss and Luffy then asked "Feeling any better?". She nodded and they walked out the room together. They jumped off the ship they where on(a giant intimidating ship called Rex Nave) and on to the Thousand Sunny.
"Sanji," Luffy yelled "Dinner". "Okay, Captain" Sanji said without looking out of the door. Luffy walked into the kitchen/mess hall with Bonney. Sanji noticed this and realized what was going on. He made them both a large meal for an entire crew and, in less than a hour, it was gone. Luffy then guided her to his room where they fell asleep together.
The next day, they announced that they were dating, much to their crews and other captains with their respective crews surprise. Hawkin yells at himself for thinking Luffy acting smart was the surprise that his cards told him.
