I don't own one Piece

..................................

My bottom lip puckered out into a pout as my hand held the transponder snail up to my face. Even with my pout, the snail continued to glare at me and scold me. Neither Sato nor Makoto were happy with me.

"You didn't contact us when you made it to Sabaody Archipelago!"

"If it wasn't for Arisu we would have thought something happened to you!"

"Hell, you didn't say anything when you met a few of your crew!"

"Even Uncle was worried sick! He was pulling out his hair ready to make me teleport us all there!"

I finally groaned loudly, cutting into their voices. "I'm sorry! You guys know I'm easily distracted. Especially when Zoro became Mr. Hottie." I couldn't stop the giggle that passed through my lips when the snail's jaw dropped then went stone cold.

"Mitsu-chan," Makoto said softly, the snail's expression not changing. "What's your coordinates?"

"Huh?" I blinked, crinkling my nose at the question.

"We need to have a talk with all the males in your crew." Sato said, then added, "Well, mainly the ones you think are attractive now."

I rolled my eyes, placing the snail lower as I squinted my eyes at the painting I was adding the base layer to. "Let's just say most of my crew got hot. Franky got cooler looking, Chopper more adorable, and Luffy..." I crinkled my nose in thought. "Somehow still looks childish. Brook looks the same though."

"At least she doesn't have the hots for Luffy." Sato whispered.

"I never said that." I smirked, picking up the paint brush to add in more to the background.

A loud thud sounded on the other end, then the face changed. Now the snail looked more panicked, three scars on its left eye. "Excuse me?! Look, I'm okay with you being on Luffy's crew, but I don't approve any of those brats to date you!"

Never had I mentioned dating anyone. I snorted, smiling widely. "Hey Uncle."

"Mitsu!" Tears streamed down the snail's eyes. "My adorable niece! You're too young to date! You gotta listen to me!"

"Mmhmm,"I mused, "Makoto, how much has Uncle has to drink today?"

"Him and Sato have been having a competition all day. I've personally lost count."Makoto chuckled, making both males shout out a complaint, each for a different reason. A vein formed on the snail's head at the complaints. "Oh shut up! Eventually Sato's gonna pass out anyway, you always win, Shanks!"

"Hey!" Sato protested loudly as my Uncle's booming laughter echoed in the background.

I smiled silently, listening to them bicker for a moment. Only when i head the door to the workshop open did I finally say something. "Guys, I gotta go. I'll call you all later."

"Aww!" All three voiced whined.

"Just a little longer?" I could hear Sato's pout, "I don't even get to see you."

"I gotta go." I said more firmly, "But I'll call you guys as soon as I can."

They sighed all completely in sync. "Fine, Mitsu. Love you."

My eyes closed for a moment and a warm smile formed on my face. "Ah, love you all too. Bye." Hanging up the snail, I placed it back on my desk then turned around.

Franky and Robin stood at the door patiently waiting with smiles. In Robin's hands were a jacket, which I recognized as one that I had stolen from Makoto from the white base color and the red trimming, as well as a boxed lunch.

"Sorry to interrupt you, Katsu." Robin smiled, walking towards me. "It's going to be getting cold, if you haven't already noticed, so I brought your jacket. Sanji currently can't cook, so Luffy shared his boxed lunches from Amazon Lily. I figured you might be hungry."

The fact that Luffy is willing to share his food made me blink. Was the world coming to an end?

Robin handed me a packed bento box which was wrapped with special care and the jacket I had stolen from Makoto. Of course when I was finally handed the jacket did I finally realize how cold it had become. My poncho didn't do much against the chill that started to seep into my bones.

"Thanks Robin!" I grinned, placing the lunch box on the table then I dropped the jacket in my lap for a moment. I proceeded to take off the poncho, as it would get in the way, and in turn revealed my black bra that tightly went a few inches below my breast for extra support. They type that Nami wore wouldn't work for me, style wise. They always fell off or were blown off during training, this one was considered more heavy duty. Slipping through the jacket which was three sizes too big for me, I zipped it up half way with a grin.

Standing up I tied my poncho around my waist for safe keeping. Already feeling warmer with the jacket, I sighed in content and sat back down.

"You sure did gain some confidence," Robin noted, then elaborated at my blank stare. "You've never showed your stomach before." I paused to look at her, almost worried she would try to scold me as my brothers had as they glared down any passing by person when I first began dressing as such. Sato had gone as far as to release some conquers haki at the few ogling guys. "You'll be giving all the men nosebleeds at this point." Robin giggled.

A burning sensation lit my face as I looked away for a moment. Faintly I could hear Robin whisper something along the terms of 'cute' under her breath. Clearing my throat, I quickly recovered and smiled.

"I guess you could say it was part of Arisu's training with me. She apparently didn't like that my confidence was apparently the lowest she had ever seen." I answered shortly.

"I see, and I'm assuming that's why you're also obsessed with beauty now." Robin mused, "You want to make sure we all have more confidence as well."

My face once again burned bright red, and I looked away puffing my cheeks in a pout as I denied it. "I don't know what you mean. I'm just trying to be like Franky and be pervy."

Robin giggled once more in amusement before turning sharply and giving a chilling smile at the cyborg. "Franky, I'll be leaving. Don't offer any influence to Katsu. Ever."

Franky blinked, frowning as Robin walked out the room, leaving just Franky and I.  His sunglasses rested on the top of his head and his arms were crossed. "Eh? What does that even mean?" Shrugging it off, he looked at me, his frown lifting into a grin. "Ow! Katsu! How do you like your space?"

Immediately I grinned, my toes curling around the soft carpet under me. "I love it Franky! It's perfect!" Then my grin faltered a bit as my toes tighten against the carpet and I looked at him almost unsure. "I'm not imposing in your space though, am I?"

"Your the crew's artist!" Franky waved his hand, his grin not faltering. "You should have had your own space sooner. Speaking of, did you see the features I added?" He walked over to the cart that sat at the edge of the carpet.

To answer simply I shook my head in confusion.

"Look," He pointed at a button I had not noticed earlier and pressed it. My mouth dropped when walls expanded out from the cart and sealed off the carpeted area. A door with a built in window stopped my the opposite side of the cart. "When you press this, these walls come out to give you some privacy. It's powered by cola, so you'll need to make sure its stocked if you want it to expand. The walls are soundproof, so you can have either silence or blast it with some music and not have to worry about either me or Usopp."

He shrugged at the bare walls, "I figured you would paint the walls however you wanted too, so I didn't do any decorations on them. Oh, and this button," He pointed to another button bellow the first one. He pressed it and a circular slot slid out. "is a cupholder."

"Wow." I muttered, completely in love with my own little space. Franky really got me.

Franky stroke a pose, pressing his forearms together. "Super! I super knew you would like it!"

"Oi! Katsu!" Both of use paused hearing Luffy's voice. "You gotta see this!" There was a brief pause before a more demanding tone was added in. "Katsu! Now!"

I rolled my eyes, looking to Franky as he pressed the same button and the walls retracted back into the cart. Waiting for him to walk out of the room, I double checked that my canvas was hidden before following after him. They would all see the art after I finished it.

"KATSUUUU!"

I rolled my eyes again, walking up the stairs. "Ah, ah, Luffy. I'm coming."

My eyes widened when an arm stretched out and grabbed my arm. A short squeal escaped me as I was forcefully tugged to stand beside Luffy. Luckily his rubber body stopped me from bursting through the bubble.

"You've gotten worse." I muttered, sighing.

Luffy paid no min and grinned. "Katsu! Look at the waterfall!"

"A waterfall underwater?" I blinked, looking up.

Though I couldn't fully enjoy the beauty of the waterfall before another voice yelled out. "Straw Hats! Turn this ship around right now! You're in trouble!" I looked away from the waterfall to the man shouting with a frown.

"Eh? Who's that?" I looked over at Zoro, who was the closes one beside me as Luffy had run off, he followed my thumb to see who I was pointing at.

"What?" Zoro blinked his eye, "Oh yeah. I forgot he was here. He's some guy that tried to attack us. He failed."

I nodded in understanding, patting his biceps. "Ah, because of your muscles."

Before Zoro could react, the ties up man began shouting again. "Look down there! A monster!"

"Monster?" I muttered, looking over the railing.

"Don't fall over." Zoro muttered, seeing me leaning over the railing.

My eyes widened as I saw the huge monster the man was talking about. It looked like a octopus. "Woah!" I pulled out my sketchbook and quickly began drawing the creature. "So cool!"

"The Kraken!"

"It's a huge monster Octopus!" Chopped foamed at the mouth in terror.

"Please! I don't want to die! Turn the ship around! If you wait a few days then-"

"Shut it, extra." I glared at the man, "Your voice is annoying."

"Shishishi!" Luffy grinned, placing his hands on his hips. "I just got a great idea! Let's tame it!"

I blinked and looked at my Captain with my lip curled in confusion. Is that really a good idea?
