"What the fuck...." groaning exhaustedly, you could tell that Cracker was showing as much enthusiasm as you were when he just curled up deeper in your throat.

Destroy that phone!

If you were anymore tired, you may have just done that, but unfortunately for the both of you, there were at least two reasonable brain cells still operating in that head of yours.

"It might be an emergency.." crying out in anguish at your logic, the Kiseichu didn't stop whining until the phone was in your hand.

"Somebody better be fucking dying or we will eat you, we swear to god" the other end of the line answered with silence, and for a moment, you felt true fear that whoever it was got the wrong number.

"Wow, somebody had a bad night" deflating at the childish voice, you fought down your inner asshole, knowing Luffy didn't know what you were up to last night or how afraid you were with that delayed reaction.

"Sorry.. and it wasn't a bad night.." blushing softly, you immediately regretted saying that as the inside of your chest began to twist and stir uncomfortably from Cracker's quivers.

Softly squeezing your throat, Cracker seemed to have gotten the message and stilled, but still fidgeted around in your throat.

"Okay..? Anyway, I called to tell you that Ace wants you over at the house at one" squinting your eyes at the living room clock as he said that, you scowled, finding that you only had an hour before the said appointment.

"What the fuck? That's in an hour.."

Luffy boisterously laughed at Cracker's dismay, and you yourself had to stifle a chuckle of fondness at his tone.

"Wait- do you mean at the apartment or at your house?" Deciding that you might as well be getting shit done as you talked, you wandered into the bathroom and prepared the shower.

"The house.. Gramps is out of town on some secret mission or something, so we're taking advantage of it" both you and Cracker did a little fist pump at the news.

"That's great! Take as much advantage as you can of that time Luffy!" The teen answered with a laugh, "alright! See you soon (Y/N)!"

Giving him a short goodbye, you tossed the phone to the side and stepped into the shower.

Once the warm water met your skin, Cracker practically melted in your body, giving you a sloppy, lazy feeling as his body oozed through everything.

"Feel good?" Your Kiseichu answered by triggering a deep moan in your throat, aside from waking up, he's evidently been on cloud nine since last night.

Scrubbing yourself with a loofah, you were too out of it to really notice the way Cracker moved until it was too late, and your body was already pressed into the cool, sweaty wall with a runny Cracker looming over you.

"Cracker! Careful you could go down the drain!" Although you knew that wasn't true, despite the complete lack of solidness, his body was very firm when he wanted it to be.

"Mnnn, you're so beautiful.." with a purr, the Kiseichu whipped out a feeler and smoothed it across the crook of your neck, repeated this motion a few more times, and slowly began sticking you to the wall.

"Auhhh.. Cracker.." leaning into his touch, Cracker shuddered in approval, allowing his feelers to go south as you writhed.

"We deserve another good time, don't we?" Answering him with a content sigh, the Kiseichu hummed pleasantly as he made quick work of you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What..." you and Cracker felt unsure with the sight before you, the last thing you thought to see in Luffy's backyard.

Everyone you've ever met in your life- er, in your school year was there, chatting it up with each other, socializing, and eating what looked like some really damn good food.

"Oh hey! (Y/N)! You made it!" Turning to Luffy as he ran up to greet you, upon his approach, you instinctively raised your arms in welcome to his near forceful hug.

"Luffy.. what's going on?" Smiling awkwardly at what seemed to have been a party, you internally cursed yourself for not deciding to wear anything with more 'big party animal energy'.

"Surprise! It's a potluck!" As the raven said that, Ace took notice of your arrival and waved from his place at the barbecue, which you returned with a smile.

"Potluck? For what?" Luffy grinned more at your confusion, looking like he was about to drop a figurative bomb on you.

And you were right.

"Yesterday, Gild Tesoro announced that he's pro-Kiseichu!" Your jaw dropped.

"No way!" At this time, the teen was leading you deeper into the backyard, allowing you the chance to snag things scattered about the tables to snack on, though this seemed to have been his idea as well, since the boy immediately followed suit with a plate of doughnuts.

"Yeah! Nobody was brave enough to say anything against him after that! And everyone's saying that it's only a matter of time before 'harboring Kiseichus' is legal in the city!" As he said this, both of you stuffed your faces with the best pulled pork you've ever had.

Oh holy fuck, this is divine

Moaning happily with every bite, you and Luffy eventually rooted yourselves to a couple of lawn chairs.

"Oh wow.. do you think that has anything to do with the old man heading out of town.. wait-" jerking upright in your seat, you frowned to yourself as a thought came to you, "how did you guys hear about this? It's not even in the news yet?"

"That would be our doing" from out of nowhere, Crocodile approached the two of you with a girl around your age by his side.

"Your doing?" Tilting your head curiously towards the unnamed teen, the raven gave you a cool but welcoming smile in response.

"I'm Robin, Crocodile's daughter" extending her hand, you reached out and gave it a brisk shake, "we're (Y/N)"

Robin's smirk quirked upwards as she took a step back, "lovely name, and your alter ego is Cracker- am I right?" Sheepishly shrugging in on yourself, the woman allowed a light chuckle.

"How'd you know?"

Robin momentarily glanced at her father with a questioning look but swiftly bounced back, "my father here, told me he had a hunch about you for awhile"

"S-So what were you talking about earlier about this being your doing?" Turning back to Crocodile, the man took a moment to light his cigar and taking a drag out of it before answering, "me and my alter ego have some.. connections to such political matters.." again he took a drag, but you knew he wasn't finished yet.

"Little shit thought it would make a great excuse to gather all the Harborers up and get to know all of you" giving the raven a look, you waited expectantly for him to double over with a grunt of pain, but to your surprise, it never came.

Wow.. he and his Kiseichu must be more used to each other than you previously assumed..

We never caught their name have we?

"Oh, what's your Kis- I mean alter ego's name?" Quickly correcting yourself, you sweated nervously under the adult's narrowed glare, however, thankfully he didn't comment on your near blunder.

"Doflamingo.. but he likes to fancy himself with the code name.. Joker" mouth instantaneously forming a perfect oval, you glanced back at Luffy, only to get more anxious seeing that he was paying zero shits to the conversation and was busying himself with a strange mixture of pulled pork and doughnuts.

That freak? Seriously..? They may be a big shot but there's no way in hell they can compete with us.. let's spar!

Pretending that you didn't hear that, you just shook it all off and decided to make yourself busy with your food as well, "huh, I didn't think you were.. 'that' kinda guy"

Crocodile seemed to have understood what you meant and cringed, huffing out smoke with a snarl, the raven not so discreetly jabbed a thumb into his torso, "tch, that imp is giving you a bad assumption of me, rest assured, all of 'that' is him, not me"

Easily going along with what he said, you just nodded along and let the man change the topic of the conversation.

At some point when you weren't looking, the duo pulled out a pair of lawn chairs and seated themselves with you and Luffy.

Usually you didn't like socializing, but with the abundance of food, Cracker willingly being less of an instigator than usual, and the fact that you were surrounded by loved ones who were all accepting of Kiseichus, you were more than happy to mingle.

The only worry you had was if you'd still feel the same at the end of this..
