Extra 13: We are Pirates ~! (18)

"I think I can fix it" - Kurama said as he narrowed his eyes.

Kalifa swallowed saliva as she felt a slight tremor run through her body.

"Relax, I promise I won't cause you pain" - Kurama said as he took the woman and put her over his shoulder - "In fact, I'm sure you'll soon be screaming for me to continue, though that's where the punishment will begin."

"He will do that?" - Alvida asked as she looked at Hancock.

"I have no idea" - replied Hancock as he shook his head, only to be met after a few seconds by Kalifa's cry of despair.

"No ~! Ah ~!"

* * * * *

An hour later, Kalifa could resist no longer and began to sing like a canary.

"It's a bit annoying that the [World Government] knows that I can create anything just by wishing it, but it's something that would soon come to light, so I'm not too worried" - Kurama said while using a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Did you do what I think you did?" - Alvida asked while giving him a blank look.

"It's the best way to torture a woman" - answered Kurama calmly - "At least for me".

"I feel a little sorry for that woman, but at the same time I know she deserved it" - Alvida said as she shrugged - "Now that we know what they wanted with you, what do we do?"

"Disappear, we have no business getting in the middle of that group's adventures" - Kurama replied while shaking his head - "This is something they have to overcome by themselves"

"I guess we'd better go to the old man's and wait until our ship is finished" - Alvida said while noticing how Hancock was scowling at the albino - "What's wrong with you, Hancock?"

"It's nothing" - Hancock replied as she folded her arms.

Kurama slowly walked over to the [Pirate Empress] and whispered something in her ear.

"Really?" - Hancock asked in surprise.

"I gain nothing by lying to you" - replied Kurama with a smile, only to feel the woman hug him with a smitten smile.

"We have a deal" - said Hancock with a seductive smile - "And there's no turning back".

"What was it you promised her?" - Alvida asked curiously.

"It's our secret" - snorted Hancock with a frown as he hugged Kurama.

"Tch, I didn't even want to know" - snorted Alvida in response.

Kurama just kept silent as he looked closely at Hancock.

He had managed to detect something during his walks through the streets of [Water 7], and that was that Hancock watched the children play with each other with a loving smile on her face.

Kurama immediately understood what was going through Hancock's mind, after all, it wasn't the first time he had seen such emotions in a woman's eyes.

"Hancock wants to start a family" - that was what Kurama thought almost immediately, and from the woman's expression after hearing his promise, it was obvious that he had been right in his deduction.

"By the way, what shall we do with that woman?" - Alvida asked as she cocked her head to one side.

"She is unconscious, but I put a seal around her to prevent anything from happening to her while we are gone" - Kurama answered calmly - "It will be deactivated in a day, or until she leaves the protection perimeter."

"I feel like this won't be the last time we see her" - said Hancock while shaking her head.

"Never mind, it's not like it will affect us" - Kurama answered as he took the two women by the hand, and disappeared from the place, not noticing how Kalifa was watching them with a look full of hostility.

She never thought she would suffer this kind of humiliation, only to blush as she remembered everything she had happened during the last hour - "I swear I'm going to get revenge, Kurama"

Kalifa quickly adjusted her clothes and looked around, only to frown as she noticed how everything looked desolate - "Right, that wave is about to return, and those bastards of my companions left me behind."

The blonde woman slowly looked around and noticed that it wasn't that far from the shipyards, so she slowly walked in that direction because she knew that there would be the safest place, after all, that was the place where Iceburg was working on Kurama's ship.

"Revenge will be mine" - muttered Kalifa as her eyes glowed with feminine fury and a few more emotions that were hard to describe.

* * * * *

"Shit, stop doing that!" - Iceburg exclaimed as he grabbed his heart after seeing the trio appear out of nowhere.

"Sorry, it's an innate ability of my power" - replied Kurama sarcastically - "How's the ship's construction coming along?"

"It just needs a few finishing touches, and it'll be done" - Iceburg said excitedly - "This is my greatest creation, my Magnus Opus!"

"Impressive," said Kurama as he walked around the bow of the ship with a huge grin.

"I won't go into technicalities because I know you won't understand, so I'll just say that this ship can double the speed of the best ship of the [Marines] without wind, and in favorable conditions, this speed is doubled" - said Iceburg as he took a cigarette and started smoking - "Its 36-pound cannons can reach a maximum distance of 6000 meters, and its material is so resistant that they can launch up to a maximum of 3 shots in a row."

"Designed to hold 3 cannonballs inside them?" - Alvida asked curiously as she whistled in appreciation - "I assume these are also insulated by the same outer cannon material?"

"Exactly" - nodded Iceburg as he caressed the cannons - "I know they're not necessary with your powers, but I decided to put 4 in for emergencies"

"That's perfect" - said Kurama as he nodded.

"The exterior of the ship was built with the strongest wood in the world, and was coated with a special coating compound that has been passed down by my master" - continued Iceburg as he explained how wonderful his invention was - "The base was reinforced with [Kairoseki] to prevent the [Sea Kings]. It has rooms for up to 100 people, a fully equipped kitchen with the best attachments, a cellar is stocked with supplies, it has a room with a safe to be able to protect your most precious items, as well as an area to be able to grow crops, also an area to place animals."

"This looks more like a pirate ship, I like it" - Alvida said as she started to walk around the ship - "Wow, even the helm looks fancy."

"Well, it had to match everything else" - replied Iceburg as the group continued chatting, not noticing how a shadow climbed onto the ship from the bow and hid in the cargo hold.

"Anyway, there are more attachments, but those are best discovered by yourselves" - Iceburg said as he walked to the helm and stroked it affectionately - "With this, I finally managed to fulfill my dream of creating the ship I always wanted, although it's not finished yet, in fact, it lacks the most important thing"

"What?" - Alvida asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

"The name" - replied Iceburg with a huge smile - "This little one needs a name worthy of her glory".

"What name do you have in mind?" - Kurama asked calmly as he waited for the man's answer.

"I'm not sure" - replied Iceburg as he shook his head - "Before, I had hundreds of names to call my ultimate creation, but now that I'm on top of her, I don't know what to call her."

After himself, he had thought of calling her [Yukihime (Ice Princess)], but felt that name would be an insult to his baby.

"Let's call it [Tsukuyomi]" - Kurama said as he looked up at the moon that was high in the sky. He quickly snapped his fingers, and the outside of the ship began to change color to a pure white like the moon - "The moon god."

"[Tsukuyomi]" - Iceburg muttered as he looked closely at Kurama, only to feel a strange tremor inside him at the sight of the albino's hair - "Are you?"

"I'm just a traveler looking to enjoy his journey to an unknown destination" - replied Kurama as he shook his head.

"I understand" - nodded Iceburg skeptically, but said nothing to return to the subject - "With this, my work and my dream is over, now I just have to see how far my little girl will take you."

"Relax, she will take us to the end of the world if necessary" - replied Kurama calmly while thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea to travel towards Laugh Tale Island, and see what that whole [One Piece] thing is all about.

"I thought you weren't looking to become the [Pirate King]" - Alvida said while raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not looking for the [One Piece], neither am I looking to become the [Pirate King], I'm just looking to travel and see the world" - replied Kurama as he glanced at the woman - "I don't need the riches because I can create them just by snapping my fingers, I don't need the glory because I can get it just by spreading my hands, what I'm looking for, is the thrill of the journey."
