(Modest female reader. I'm talking about modesty clothes wise. This isn't specifically stated but implied since Paulie didn't flip out half to death over it.
I'm sorry if parts of this seem confusing. I wrote this after the Nami one but something in my brain wasn't cooperating right for some reason. I had to fix A LOT compared to normal.)

In the past few days alone, the city of Water 7 has gone through a lot. The annual Aqua Laguna hit, the mayor Iceburg was almost assassinated, and the leader of the Franky Family ran around the street unpleasantly and more indecently then normal. Even after it's been through a lot the workers of Galley-La Company worked effortlessly to help repair storm damages. You admired this about them. That they'd be more then glad to help the people of Water 7.

For their efforts for the town, you often served them refreshments. This consisted usually of protein filled snacks and lots of water. Everyone was grateful though, it's not exactly what you wanted. You wanted to thank them not feel thanked in return. Maybe all the thanks went to your head though but as one of them lazily responded a thanks, your heart sunk. This specific man was Paulie. He often yelled at his standards of indecency for how some women dressed. At first his yelling words make it sound as if he wishes other perverted men to behave and focus but it is just as said, other perverted men. His words may not hide any lies but it is also the skin of a women he tries to hide from his own perverse thoughts.

You watched as Paulie guzzled his container of water lazily, in a bored fashion and seemingly uninterested in everything going on. No one talked to him that day, apparently his temper was flaring up a bit more as he threatened to tie people up and send them off into the sea.

You'd be the brave soldier stepping up to bat as you confronted the man.

"What do you want?" He asked with a gruff voice.

"Would you like some more water?" You quickly noticed he drunk all of the contents.

Paulie observed the container he drunk from, not previously noting it being empty.

"Actually, I would." His mood seemed to shift a bit more to a less angry one. It didn't last long though as you walked away to get water. "I hope your not trying seduce any of the men here."

His words seem to catch you off guard as you turned around to answer but stayed stuck in thought. It wasn't your intention, no, though it still momentarily stopped your brain from functioning at that moment.

"No, did I give off that feeling? I apologise if so."

"Oh. No no. I was just making sure. Your just too nice is all. Give these men a hard time, toughen them up. They're slacking enough as it is."

"I'll keep that in mind, Paulie." You gave the man a soft smile as he blushed furiously with a groan in return.

Surprisingly you saw him again the next day, same situation. You offered the workers refreshments and he was taking an unwilling break from repairing storm damages.

"Hello again, Paulie." You smiled, holding out water for the man as he smoked his cigar.

"Huh? Oh, hello again lady." He chuckled, grabbing the water you were offering.

"My name is (Y/N)."

"That'll be useful." He smiled, taking a large gulp of water.

"How was work today?" You asked him though, the look in his eyes said he had a lot to tell.

"Where should I start?" Paulie smiled with a small laugh, obviously the day was better then yesterday. "For starters sake, Tilestone's loud mouth made some baby cry and someone else tried to hammer Lulu's so called bed head. Despite all that, we've gotten more work done then all of yesterday and we're only halfway done for the day. Did you do something to make them work harder?"

"Yeah, told them you'd tie them up by their feet and bonk their heads together and hoped you could make them keep hitting each other in a continuous loop."
(Like a Newton's Cradle)

His reaction to your words were utterly priceless, he almost dropped his cigar as his mouth opened wide.

"I hope you know I'm joking."

"How am I supposed to know your joking!? Geez you actually had me there for a second." Paulie scratched his temple as he was embarrassed with a blush that only grew as you laughed at his ways.

A few days went by and Paulie was running from people that yelled at him to pay what he owns. His attention went towards you as you stood outside your house wrapped in a blanket and off in the distance from Paulie himself. At this moment you were his gleaming sparkle of hope as he caught the men off guard, long enough to get to your side.

He surprised you when he came running towards you, no one following him in sight.

"(Y/N), you have to help me hide."

You didn't know why at the time, nor did you question even for a second as you wrapped the blanket around Paulie, the one that you were incased in only moments ago. The blanket hid enough, his upper half and halfway to his knees.

In the corner of your eyes you saw the men that you assumed were chasing him, you made a bold decision as Paulie looked at you questioningly. You grabbed the blanket on each side of his neck as you leaned in to give him kiss.

This worked, as the men ran off in a different direction but, Paulie. He looked as if he ran a fever, tenfold at that. He stared at you for a few moments, likely unable to process what happened.

"Damn, woman. What kind of spell did you cast on me?"

"Didn't know I did. I was going to ask you the same thing."
