"You and Dairokkan. . . A member if the Trinity. . . Representing Paramecia?"

"Yes."

"And that's your reason to come after me as a bounty hunter?"

"Yes."

". . . . "

BONK! BANG! SLAP!

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?" I yell at the bounty hunter that's holding her head that contains three swellings on it.

"That's what I've been asking myself that question ever since I was chosen," Crista gets back to her feet. "But I'll explain later when we get you out. Just head back. Any longer in here, and Doflamingo's gonna be suspicious."

"Just let me know when to leave this place," I say with my arms crossed and cheeks puffed. "Jeez, no wonder everything is so complicated."

"Just go already!" I was shoved out the door by the girl called Maze before I hear the giggling of the String Devil.

I know who's with Felix~ Sujimichi sings out.

Did you get hit in the head before you got sealed in the Ito Ito No Mi? I ask while making my way back.

No, I'm always in a good mood, Suji says. I've been this way ever since Doflamingo freed me.

"Sorry for the wait Mr. Donquixote," I sit back down, catching the warlord quickly putting a Mini Denden Mushi in his coat pocket. Dairokkan, you better be right on this one.

"I didn't even notice you leave for the restroom, Miss Mikami," Mingo grins as Felix arrives with dinner plates. "But at least you came back in time to eat."

"Enjoy your meal, madam," Felix smiles before departing.

Unten, you there? I mentally ask.

Loud and clear, the Operation Devil responds. Whatcha needing?

Anything about Felix? I say back.

Yeah, he's working for Shimizu, Unten says. And he's got someone by the name of Raion, Devil of Neko Neko No Mi: Model Lion.

So the waiter can turn into a lion, I lifted my refilled tea only for my hand to freeze when a force grabs my wrist.

Don't drink it, Dairokkan whispers. A Cipher Pol agent that's in the kitchen placed a sleeping drug in it so that way it would be easier to catch you.

Dairooo, why did you do that? Suji whines. I was going to tell her about it.

You have a bad habit at warning people too late other than your Master, a semi-deep voice growls. The only person you would ever care for is the spoiled Dragon.

That is true, but at least I know how to bathe properly without drowning my Master, unlike you, red eyed brute! Suji snaps back. This resulted in an animalistic growl that was heard by everyone in the room, who froze to the sound. Pretty soon there were a few fearful glances in my direction. Even Mingo gave an amused, yet questioning look as Suji giggles at the Devil's mistake of being heard.

"Oh sure, blame the person who turns into a big cat!" I sarcastically say, causing some of the other customers to whip back to their meals.

Way to go Mane Boy, you got everyone to think that Yue did it, Unten muses out.

Urusei, Baka Gekai! the Devil who I figured is Raion says in a threatening tone.

Yamete! Anata no ryōhō! I suddenly hear Crista snap in the conversation. The Cipher Pol are coming!

Let me know when start running, I butt in. I'd like to get out of this outfit before the night ends.

Not just yet, because this night's gonna end with a light show, Crista says. Maze's going to meet you outside with your swords. And yes, she also does have a set of clothes for you.

"Mikami D. Yue!" Someone yells behind me. "You're under arrest!" I turn to see several Cipher Pol agents. Some of them had escorted the crowd out of the building and were coming back in.

"No one from the World Government knows, huh?" I ask the surprised warlord. But he remains silent as an agent walks over to grab an arm. But that was his mistake as I fling him back to the other agents. Soon I dashed and broke through a window in order to escape. I quickly shapeshifted to animal mode in order to have a perfect landing. Thankfully the heels fell off when I did that as I bolted from the restaurant.

Hey, where's that Maze Chick? I asked out of the blue. That's when I hear a whistle in an alley way. I quickly make a turn down there, smiling when I hear the CP agents run by. Soon I find a smirking blueette with a bundle in her arms. Arashi Bureka was in the crook of her right elbow along with my extra katana.

"Thanks for that," I turn to human before stripping and changing into a green shirt and a brown pair of shorts with hiking boots. Soon I had both swords on my left hip. But I kept the necklace, thinking that it would be a waste to toss away. The outfit unfortunately tore when I went through the window, so I used the skirt to wipe off the make-up. Plus the beads fell off when I shifted, so my hair was back to normal.

"There's the famous Kitora Yue I've been hearing about," Maze smiles.

"Not quite," I say to myself. "I need Tora back before I'm truly Kitora again." But I tense up when I hear a roar before an explosion becomes visible in the town as fireworks light up the sky.

"That's what I call a light show right there," I smiled before I followed Maze to the docks where a black ship with rolled up, royal blue sails was waiting on us. When we get on board, a woman with shoulder length brunette hair and red glasses was waiting on us.

"About time you got here," the woman says before shooting a dart in my leg. I yelped before starting to feel drowsy.

"Sparrow! Crista said no on the tranquilizers!" was the last thing I hear before blacking out.

Unten

"Mazushī kodomo," I shake my head while appearing to catch Yue. Even though I'm not psychic like Dairokkan, I could tell this kid's got a long, bumpy road to travel.

"So why did you make Yue fall asleep?" I asked the nerdy girl.

"I need to make sure that Doflamingo didn't do anything suspicious to her while she was knocked out for that week," Sparrow replies.

"Fall dead, brat," I said before letting a blue dome engulf me while I take out a scalpel. "Let the Professional do the magic." Then using my power, I went through Yue's body for any spells Suji might have placed on Yue before summoning the green sleep drug out of her system. However, that resulted in something I didn't expect would happen.

"PUT HER BACK THE WAY SHE WAS, AHO GEKAI!" a fist whacks my head, making my eyes bulge out a little. Sparrow and Maze had their eyes wide by shock as a soccer sized swelling immediately grew on my head. But I do what Devil says as I put Yue's body back together, but she dropped the moment I release my 'Room'. Then after that, severe pain shot in between my legs before I let out a squeal that was a little high pitched. That causes Yue to automatically wake up.

"You kicked me in the junk," I squeaked after falling to the deck. "Why? Why did you kick me in the junk?"

"Don't treat my Master like a doll," Tora growls, a dark aura surrounding her as her eyes glow a bright red. But that all disappears when Yue tackles the Tigress Devil in a hug.

"What the hell happened to you?!" the blue eyed girl cries tears of joy. "I thought I wasn't going to hear from you again!"

"Let's just say it was meditation," Tora smiles before hugging back. "You see, I wasn't exactly in a coma. I had to rest up from Dairo's attack before I could wake up again. Sorry for worrying you, it won't happen again."

"Hey, Gekai Akuma," I look up to see Maze's hand in front of me. "Let's get ya some ice." I take it as she helps me get up.

"Thank you," I say before she leads me to the kitchen.

Yue

"Well, isn't that a happy reunion or what?" I turn to see a lion hybrid version of Felix coming on the ship. The former waiter had amber red eyes with a lion's head and tail as his hands had black claws. His mane was also colored red instead of brown hair that Felix had in his human form.

"Hey Sparrow," Felix walks over before locking the woman in a head lock. "What part of no tranquilizers don't you understand?!"

"It was for Yue's good that she should be knocked out!" Sparrow struggles in the hybrid's grip. "I don't know if she has a fear of any medical equipment that I have!"

"You could've asked instead of knocking me out," I said with everyone but the lion man and the nerdy girl was staring at them like they were too awkward to not look away from. But then another Devil appears, causing Felix to be human again. His hair was over shoulder length as it was colored bright red. His eyes were the same amber red that Felix had in his hybrid form. But I know who he is as he inspects me over.

"Nīsan, don't make her uncomfortable," Tora says.

"Hold up, how can Raion be your brother?" Felix asks.

"We were created by Zoan from the souls of Neko, the Mistress of Cats," Tora explained. "Before she died, she gave consent to Zoan to split her soul into individual Devils during the Devil Wars. So far, there's me, Raion, and the Model Leopard Devil Hyō."

"That makes sense," Sparrow says after she went through Felix's torture hold. But Raion ignores everyone as he tips my chin for my eyes to meet his, as if he was looking for something.

"Tenth Generation D," Raion says. "Full of courage, rebellious with no fear. Willing to help friends and family in need. Always seeks out adventure. Guided by your own choices."

"Past and Personalities," Tora smirks. "That's Raion's inner power."

"SET SAIL, SET SAIL!" We all look over the side of the ship to see Crista running from a large group of Marines and CP Agents. "WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"

"ALL HANDS ON DECK!" Felix yells, causing many crew members to come bursting out of hiding. A third of them let the sails loose while the rest were either arming themselves, or ready themselves to help their captain.

"It's the rest of the Harmony Pirates!" a Marine shouts. "Get them!"

"Let me get this," I jump off the ship the same moment Crista took a leap on. At one second, we both shared a look before we went our separate ways temporarily. She landed on the ship the same time I land on the docks. That causes the World Government group to stop at their tracks.

"What's the matter, boys?" I ask, the night shadowing my face to give a creepy aura as I shift to my hybrid form. "Cat got your tongue and feet?" However, Tora had a different idea in mind as I felt only cat ears and tail pop out as my skin turn into a dark shade of blue while white stripes decorated my arms and legs. My teeth grew until they were cat like fangs. My vision grew five times sharper than normal.

"Don't just stand there, you fools!" the same Marine yells. "Get her!" The group charges once more as I ready my swords.

"What a bunch of dorks," I quietly say while speeding through the group, all of them looking confused as they stop again. But they don't stand for long as I perform a technique that was new to me.

"Nitōryū Iai: Kage ryūsō," I say before sheathing my swords. When the syncing clinks were heard, the group falls over the docks as if they were hit by an invisible force. When I turn around, I get a cheer from the Harmony Pirates with their captain and commanders smiling at me.

That was as interesting as this new form, I smile while looking at my arms.

This is my gift to you for being absent and making you feel lost, Tora says in reply. This is one of your Gaikan forms.

Gaikan forms? I said as I become confused while walking back. What's Gaikan?

I was going to explain it to you first woke up your Fury Gaikan, but you were too busy taking care of Law at that time, Tora explains. Anyway, besides your normal hybrid form, your Gaikan are forms that represent your energy moods. For example, back at the storm incident, your Fury Gaikan was awaken when you saw Law about to die.

So I can activate more than one hybrid form?

Yeah, something like that, but you have to be careful when you do go through a new form. Otherwise it's a good chance that we both would lose control over that form.

I'll remember that, I smiled before walking back on board Crista's ship. In less than half an hour, we were sailing on the Grand Line and away from the island.

"Hey Yue," I look from the sea from leaning on the starboard side to see Felix and Maze.

"I don't know about you, but that was awesome on what you did," Maze says.

"How much do you think your bounty's gonna be when those morons turn in the report?" Felix asks.

"Beats me," I replied. "Because this cat sure gave them a purrfect comeback." We all laughed as the ship known as the Sailing Comet speeds on through the waters of the sea.
