Idle Time

"Haaa....so boring" Percy sighed as he and Orange sat on a small dingy boat in paradise heading nowhere in particular. He finally got the courage to confess his feelings to Orange after so many years. To no one's surprise, she said yes, and they became a couple and now are inseparable.

"What's wrong?" Orange smirked as they floated around from island to island. Technically, they were supposed to be tracking down Rouge. However, since Percy knew exactly where she was, he treated this time as a vacation.

"I miss my bed" Percy complained again for the hundredth time again. When he confessed his feelings for her, he also told her about his his second identity, his real agenda. At first, she didn't believe him. How could she? The person she followed the whole time couldn't be a founding member of the revolutionary army. Right? Wrong. He was.

Turns out that the incident at Mary Geoise with the celestial dragons all those years ago not only left a trauma with her but her commanding officer as well. However, he took it a step further and started a organization that wanted to topple the world government. At first, she didn't know what to think. She wanted to report her findings to someone, but, as she thought some more, she realized that she hated the world nobles. Orange had a flashback to a couple a days after she found out Percy's true identity.

************************************

[The worst thing to happen to the world is those damn world nobles] thought Orange as she weighed her options. She contemplated what to do and sat by herself in her room in her bed hugging her legs remembering the those eyes.

[They wanted to make me a sex slave, if it wasn't for Sengoku saving me, I would've become one. They should all burn in hell. Perhaps Percy is on the right path after all]

[What to do, what to do. I love Percy, but I'm still believe that we can do good in the navy. Especially now, with Roger dead and the emperors starting to gain more territory, the world needs the marines now more than ever.]

[But, I don't want to be a puppet for those f*ckin' world nobles forever, especially for those pigs. If what Percy said is true, then it is better the marines detach from the world government altogether.]

[However, to do that, it will take some time, and preparation; I need to make a decision soon or I will risk losing the trust built with Percy].

*******************************************

"It's your fault that you didn't bring a bed silly" Orange chided with a smile on her face as they sailed leisurely throughout the Grand line. They were headed now where in particular and were quite relaxed at the moment.

"I know, I just thought that we could you know-" Percy said while wagging his eyebrows

"What? Have dirty hot sex and steal plunder fool around until we were called back to headquarters?" Orange said sarcastically

"Your words"

"We need a bed first. I refuse to do that until we find a proper bed. Let's head to Water Seven then" Orange suggested then.

Percy ears perked up and he smiled up. He quickly summoned a mini tidal wave with a wave of his hand and urge his boat forward so it can reach his destination as fast as possible.

Five hours later, they were in the harbor, walking amongst the crowd looking for a slightly bigger boat and a king size bed for the both of them to fit.

*****************************

"Well that was fun" Percy said exhaustedly as he panted and laid down in the sheets

"Yeah" Orange said dreamily. The two spent spent spent several hours exhausting themselves with various activities.

They were in the biggest tavern in town and were spending the day going incognito. No one needed to know, that the one of the most powerful person in the world was spending his day with his girlfriend in the town.

"What now?" Orange asked as the lied there.

"I need to check on someone." Percy said in a matter of face tone

"Who?"

"His name is Tom."

"Who's Tom?" asked Orange

"He was the shipwright of Gol D. Roger, hopefully he took my advice and never came back here. With luck he joined the revolutionary army with my recommendation."

"You met him?" she asked."

"Oh yeah" Percy grinned, "I met them all on multiple occasions"

"What were they like?" she asked curiously

"Nothing like the marines make them out to be" Percy explained, "they were simply adventurous, people who were looking for freedom"

"Wow" Orange said with wide eyes "I would have like to meet them"

Percy flicked Orange's head,

"You fought against Roger, remember?"

"Well yeah. But, that was before he became the pirate king. Plus, I never got to really talk with them. We were basically chasing them on Garp's ship all the time" Orange reminisced.

"Good times" Percy chuckled. "Anyways, I got to head out to see if Tom is here or not, if he's here, then that's that. My hand's are tied."

"Ill go with you then" Orange agreed with her lover.

They headed out as they searched for the fisherman. It didn't take long to search for the legendary shipwright. He was handcuffed, surrounded by several marines and cipher pol agents. Percy shakes his head in resignation.

[I told you so] Percy said to himself as he approached the cp agents.

"What is going on here?" he asked.

"Who are you?" a snobby man in a black suit walked up to Percy and asked him. "Interfering with a world government operation can result in your immediate arrest or your death." He the look at Orange, licked his licked lustfully and said, "though we can make ex-"

before he finished his statement his head flew off his head. Silence, fell throughout the street as everyone tried to process the information. Suddenly, Percy broke the silence by calmly telling the rest of the cipher pol agents,

"you can tell your higher ups, that admiral Kurosai killed one one of your men because he tried to take his girlfriend from him."

"S-s-" before another agent could respond could finish his sentence another head flew off.

"I don't need you answer, just nod your head" Percy said slowly while looking and the last of the cipher pol agent

The last cp agent furiously nodded his head and used soru to sprint away.

"Admiral Kurosai!" one of the marines saluted at attention, "may I ask why are you here?"

"Oh you know? Just because. I need to ask him a couple of questions" Percy explained

"Yes sir!" the marine said, "take all the time you need"

They led Percy and Orange to a secluded room for the interrogation and left them alone. When the marine were gone, Orange and Percy uncuffed Tom and finally smiled and one another.

"So you believe me now?" asked the admiral

"Fine you win" said the former pirate, "but it's too late now"

"that's for sure" Percy agreed, "best case scenario, I transfer you over to help construct the sea train to another area and help you disappear altogether."

"Can't" Tom said while shaking his head, "I already struck a deal with the world government, plus, this is life long dream of mine to make a sea train. I know I can make this a reality within 10 years."

Percy rubbed his eyebrows together.

"Orange, pain-relief please"

"Sure thing honey"

A soothing pain entered Percy's temple which eased Percy's growing migraine. Percy gave Orange a gentle smile and looked at Tom while saying,

"as I said, the problem isn't the the world government giving you enough time to finish your project. It's when you do finish, they are bound to backstab you. That's probably what's going to happen."

"So figure out a solution for me, Mr. revolutionary army" Tom said while laughing.

Orange chuckled as well

Percy continued to press his eyebrows together because he could not think of a feasible solution at the moment.

"As of right now, there is no real moment for the revolutionary government to intervene on your behalf, after all, there needs to be motive. This is a world of give and take. We need something in return for saving your ass."

"What do you want?" asked Tom casually. "It's not like I have a lot on me, I' m not worth a lot of belli."

"Talk to Dragon, I'm sure you and him can come to some sort of an arrangement."

"........Fine. Give me his den den mushi and I'll give him a call when I'm about done with the sea train."

Percy handed Dragon's number and he stood up

"We're done here, have fun until then" Percy said

"You really don't care about those cipher pol agents?" Tom asker as they left the building,

"Them?" Orange scoffed, "I'm his girlfriend, they tried to snatch an admiral's girlfriend. What do you think the consequence would be?"

"BUBUBUBUBUBUBU True" Tom laughed.
