Ch.5 Clownin Around

---

As we blinked onto to our new bigger boat, I stepped away from Nami to the tend the sail. Zoro and Kuina, after a moment of surprise from the hiraishin, moved to loose the lines. Nami radiating happiness moved to the tiller to steer. Then we were sailing away from Shells Town.

Once we were clear, I pulled a few big fluffy blankets from the item box. Making a nest to sprawl out in the bottom of the boat. Zoro and Kuina stared for a moment before I threw a bundle at them.

Kuina caught it before it could reach Zoro's arms. Turning to give a teasing remark. "Too Slow like always Zoro!"

His face darkened at the reminder of the recent close call for a moment. Then he shook it off and helped her spread the blankets. They each made a little individual nest. I watched them as they playfully but awkwardly bickered. Damn…they must not have seen each other for a long time before now. That's the only thing, that would explain the jumps and starts to them that I was seeing.

We're about a mile away from shore when Nami calls out. "So where to next captain? I heard what you told Koby about the differences that are happening with your vision. Any changes we need to make?"

I feel her sly curiosity as she tries to trick me into giving more information away. Sending back fondness, I reply giving basic but unhelpful info. "Orange Town, we gotta save a dog's treasure and talk to a clown."

When I say no more, she pouts for a moment but then nods setting the course.

Zoro and Kuina stop their bickering looking over at me with curiosity wanting answers. Looking at each other and seeming to share a mental battle over who is going to ask the question. Zoro seems to lose or is it win? Heh. "So captain, mind explaining a little more about that and these abilities you seem to have?"

My reply is of course a laugh, as I prepare to give them the same basic answers, I'd given Nami and Koby the previous evening. "ShiShiShi, So it goes like this…"

I toggle noisemaker to play (The Coastlands by Yasunori Nishiki.) as ambient music. Everybody likes the addition, but it just makes them more curious.

A few minutes later after answering the basic stuff, unlike Nami and Koby they seem to just accept it and move on. I can't help but feel smug at their casual acceptance of my insanity. Nami pouts at all three of us. Sending love causes the pout to be replaced by a blushing grin. Heh, considering for a moment I continue. "Once we get an actual ship, we'll be able to train. For now I can at least explain Haki and devil fruits to you guys. Once we leave the east blue and reach the grand line, shit's gonna get crazy."

I spend the next little while explaining the basics of Haki and devil fruits. All three of them listen avidly, multiple times I stop to giggle at their reactions. A contemplative quiet sweeps over them. Kuina is the one to break it, speaking with an enlightened tone. "So my sound sight… that's what I've been calling it. Is observation Haki?

Snapping my fingers, I point at her giving a nod. a *peen-pong* echoes as I speak. "Bingo! My guess is that at some point, you were so overwhelmed by something. You managed to awaken it."

A bad memory clouds her face as I finish. Zoro notices placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort. Ahh so it's like that is it? Sigh… Always with the tragic back stories. Oh well, I'll find out in time. Changing the subject to lighten the mood, I decide to reveal my devil gene. The rainbow-colored bat wings fold seamlessly from my back, As I sit cross legged in the bottom of the boat.

I feel Nami's eager curiosity as I reveal yet another ability. Zoro just raises an eyebrow. Kuina jumps on the change of subject. "So do the wings mean, you've eaten a devil fruit Reina?"

Shaking my head in the negative, I elaborate a bit. Beginning an info dump… Argh I hate these… Seeing the shock on all their faces and feeling Nami's awe I laugh. Info dumps are worth the reactions! "ShiShiShi!"

Finished with that, my wings disappear back under my coat. I Lay back in the bottom of the boat, hat shadowing my eyes from the sun. Waiting for them to digest the info dump. Zoro is the one to recover first, his mind latched onto one thing. "You mentioned training? How'd you train to get so strong?"

I nod and explain, the torture I'd put myself through for two years. Once again jaws drop, this time in horror. I have to stand and hold Nami… Shit… I'm so desensitized to it, I spoke without thinking. I have a clone take over steering, as I pull her down into the nest. Sending love and warmth, she calms quickly. The other two sort themselves out, Kuina is grimly understanding. Zoro looks at me in respect.

I elaborate, reassuring them about what's in store. "Don't worry, your training won't be like mine. I've got some ideas. But that'll have to wait till we have our ship." Zoro is disappointed. Heh, fucking battle junkie,

After a little longer Nami questions me, accepting but also demanding to know my reasoning. "Why? Why would you do that to yourself Reina? Does something happen? Is that it, something you watched in your future vision?"

I give her love, staring into her eyes as I reply. "You're right Nami, something would've happened. So, I put myself through that to protect my nakama and those I love."

She blushes clear down to her shoulders, returning the feeling. I can't resist I lean in, kissing her lovingly. "… Rei…na!" She moans a token protest.

Zoro's respect for me grows. As a fellow Dreamer, He knows exactly where I'm coming from. Kuina is intrigued by the end of my speech, turning her eyes to Zoro. A blush colors her cheeks, Zoro doesn't notice.

After a few moments their both blushing as I continue to kiss Nami.

Once a thoroughly kissed Nami had taken back over the tiller. We'd all settled down for the voyage to Orange Town, making idle chatter. Zoro and Kuina both exclaim in joy at the hot food and cold drink I produce at dinner time. Music playing to liven the mood further. That night when we're not on watch, Nami grinds against me in her sleep. It's all I can do not to ravage the needy kitten then and there. Goddess damn it I hope she's ready soon.

Later on, a boat of buggy pirates comes into my range. The same ones Nami would've played. I hit them with haki… No one interrupts cuddle time. Besides, they'll wake up in a day or so and be on their way.

---

The next evening we're arriving in Orange Town. I stand on the docks as the other three step up beside me.

Resuming my favorite Doucheflamingo like hunch, hands in pockets. I smirk, feeling Nami's focus on my swaying breasts. She blushes at my amusement but continues to stare, as I giggle.

Kuina speaks up about the lack of people. "Captain where is everybody?"

I shrug answering, "Hiding from the clown. His names Buggy, we gotta do something first. Then we'll talk to him."

They all nod in confused agreement. Aww, They were learning to roll with my bullshit! Laughing I finish. "ShiShiShi! follow me guys."

I start walking towards a lone small signature. Time to help a good boy! A short walk later we're looking at the store. The little grey dog sitting vigilant. He tenses for a moment at our approach. I stare into his eyes. He offers a paw… Toe Beans!

Nami looks on as I begin to show ChouChou some love. Feeling amused by my antics. Kuina steps up to pet him as well. Giggling as he licks her face. Zoro blushes at her giggle, she doesn't notice.

Nami joins in on petting the fluff. Zoro is to manly for it though… Heh lame, he leans against the wall trying to look cool.

After a while the mayor show's up explaining the situation. They listen avidly, I'm too busy giving belly rubs.

Zoro upon hearing the story attempts to pet the fluff. *Chomp!* "Oww! You damn dog!"

Nami and Kuina laugh at his misfortune. ChouChou the little shit looks smug. Embarrassed, Zoro stomps back over to lean against the wall. I'm snickering the whole time.

"Serves you right for hesitating Zoro! The fluff tolerates no hesitation!" Zoro huffs at my words, but smiles as Kuina laughs harder. Nami reaches back down to praise the good boy, a hint of melancholy coming from her.

"Good job, guarding the place ChouChou!" *bark!* Is his reply, his tail thumping at the praise.

The mayor is happy at our treatment of the fluff. But before he can speak, the presence I'd been feeling comes around the corner. A voice coming with it. "Just a little further Richie! I know that pet food store was around here somewhere. I swear you dumb cat, I just fed you… like 4? Or was it 5 days ago?"

ChouChou growls as the Lion and it's tamer come into view. My crew tense, readying for a fight. I stand, stepping forward waving a hand for them to calm. As I speak to the fluff. "Don't worry boy your treasure is safe. You aren't losing it cause this jackass is an animal abuser."

Mohji takes offense, his face red in rage. "Who are you calling an ani…" *thud*

He falls unconscious from my haki. Richie freezes in surprise, beginning to shiver in fear.

The crew realize what I've done, Impressed at my precise use of my color of the Queen. Nami is aroused at my prowess.

Stepping up to Richie, I stare him down, He offers a paw… Giant Toe Beans! *squeee!* Before he can react I've flipped him onto his back. Itching his tummy. Seconds later his tongue is lolling and I've got a leg going!

The dog was one thing, but the others are shocked at my desire for the fluff! It will not be denied! Nami, laughs in joy at my antics, joining in shortly after. Zoro's wondering how the hell he got here. Kuina joins in too. Ahh, allies in the quest for the fluff.

After we're satisfied, I send Richie on his way, he's fed and happy from the item box. He leaves with a smile, carrying the unconscious Mohji like a sack of rocks. Refreshed I dust my hands off, a job well done. Placing them on my hips I turn to the others. The mayor confused but glad to avoid a fight, offers us a place to stay for the night.

---

The mayor had taken us to an abandoned house. Letting us in and telling us to make ourselves at home. We'd had an item box provided meal. The cold booze, pleasing Zoro greatly. Kuina had been introspective after dinner and made her excuses, turning in early. The mayor had left, promising to find us again in the morning.

Zoro had stumbled off drunk, to claim a room.

Leaving me and Nami, wordlessly we choose to share.

*plop* "finally a bed! ShiShiShi! It's been way to long…" I trail off smirking into the pillow, where my hunter can't see. Feeling her frustration start to peek, I roll over. As I do, a thought has my coat and sandals disappearing. I'm flat on my back.

Nami is standing by the door, devouring me with her eyes. My eyes hood, I place my hat on the nightstand. Then I pop up on to an elbow. Arching my back off the bed and thrusting my tits out. I feel her arousal spike even higher. I give a husky chuckle as mine does the same. "Like what you see kitten? Come on over here and you can touch all you wanttt~~."

Nami's eyes snap from my tits to my eyes. Her breath catches and she begins to make her way over to bed. Kicking her shoes off as she does. Placing a knee on the bed, she crawls up to straddle me. Swaying like a stalking cat as she does. Her cleavage on display, her shirt hangs lose.

We're face to face, our hot breaths mixing. The anticipation palpable,

As she leans down to kiss me, I dart up biting her lower lip. Pulling back on it lightly. Then we're devouring each other's lips. It's a messy, sloppy kiss of desperation. We both moan into it.

I grab her ass with both hands. Groping roughly, pure want coming from both of us. I use my grip to pull her hips down, raising my knee to grind into her panty clad pussy. Skirts made for such easy access! She shudders as we both moan at the contact. Her pussy is soaking wet. I'm not any better.

Nami pulls away from the kiss, out of breath. Sitting up to grind herself down on to my knee. Her hands come up and rip my top open. My large perky breasts bouncing free. Nipples hard. She gives a wicked smirk, as she moans through a teasing remark. "I've been wanting to get my hands on these all day!"

Putting actions to words, her hands roughly fondle my tit's. I let out a giggle as I moan through the feeling. A hand coming away from her ass to smack back down as I reply. "You could've grabbed a handful, any time Kitten~."

Nami growls in response leaning down and starting to nip at my neck. "Damn it Reina, why do you have to be so fucking Hot!"

Tilting my head to give her better access, I giggle. Then my hand rips her skirt off.

That's the last straw, she pulls back and stares into my eyes panting overwhelmed. "Reina... Captain… Please… Fuck me"

Critical hit! My breath catches, I buck my hips and spin us, reversing our positions. My hand flashes up ripping her shirt off. Her amazing perky tits bounce free. Her nipples rock hard. I grope her with a hand, while the other squeeze's her hip. My knee grinding up into her pussy. Leaning down as she gasps a panting moan. Our tongues battle until she's out of breath. Pulling back a string of saliva holding out for a second.

Moving my head to the side I latch onto her neck. Sucking a hickey into it as she groans. As her legs hook around me, pulling me in. My fingers finding her nipple, rolling and tugging it.

One her hands fists into my hair, pulling me into her neck. The nails of the other dig into my back. My hand moves from her hip, teasingly stroking her abdomen, above her panties. Asking for permission. Her eyes meet mine, love and lust shared between us. She nods.

I rip her panties off, I'll get her ne.. I don't have any heh.

Her breath hitches, as my fingers find her bare soaking pussy. Stroking across it, she mewls pleading. "Captain… pleaassee~."

I shiver, as I smirk answering. "Your beautiful when you beg, Nami."

Feeling her embarrassment. I'm smug as I plunge my middle and ring fingers into her pussy. My thumb going to her clit. I'm rewarded with an obscene squelch, as her toes curl. "Ahh~~ Reina!"

She's to perfect, I lean in muffling her voice. My tongue wrestling hers. In no time, she's coming around my fingers. Her eyes rolling back slightly. She slumps back down onto the bed panting. Covered in sweat. I smugly look down at my handy work.

As her eyes refocus, I pull my fingers out of her pussy slowly. She shivers, then blushes cutely as I bring my fingers to my mouth. Covered in her juices. Giving a devious smirk, I loudly suck them clean. Releasing them with a pop, she's mortified. Hands covering her face as I giggle. "You taste as good as you look, kitten~."

A hand shoves my face, as she whines. "Reina!"

I grab her hand, Interlacing our fingers. I lean down kissing her sweetly. Her arousal spikes a little at her own taste in my mouth. A thought has my shorts gone. My soaked pussy exposed, I don't wear panties. Sitting back up, I guide her hand down.

She plunges her fingers into me, watching transfixed as I come undone on her hand. I moan throwing my head back. Gyrating my hips to hit all the best spots. Looking back at her, I lean down. Our tongues wrestling yet again. It doesn't take long at all before I'm shuddering as I cum. I rest my forehead against her's. Our breath mixing, I twitch as she pulls her fingers free.

Nami stares at her hand, covered in my juices. Hungrily she brings it to her mouth. Licking it clean, like a kitten lapping cream. She pauses, feeling my amusement. Raising an eyebrow, she smirks. "What can I say captain~ You taste as good as you look too!"

I shudder as I laugh in joy. "ShiShiShi!"

A little while later we're cuddling naked, luxuriating in our warmth. She's laying on my chest, using my tits as a pillow. Her hand makes idle circles on my collar bone. My hand carding through her hair, as sleep begins to take us both. I speak the words, the ones we've both been feeling. "I love you, Nami."

She tenses for a moment shocked, then raises slightly to look into my eyes. We stare, then she speaks them too. "I love you to, Reina."

We meet in the middle, in a loving kiss.

Heh, we taste good together.

Kuina's Pov.

Someone stumbled into her room… Zoro? He was drunk. He walked over to the bed, where she'd sat up in shock. Her alarm quickly faded when he slumped to his knees. His head was facing her.

He stared for a moment as she took him in with her… haki. Mentally correcting herself before, focusing on him.

After a moment he spoke, a drunk slur to his words. "I'm Sorry… I should have said something… My biggest regret."

Her breath caught at his words. Knowing what he was talking about. Even through the slur. Before she could reply he stood stumbling for a moment. Then turned and left the room, she followed him with her haki. He stumbled into the room next to her's. Falling into bed, a snore starting a moment later.

Kuina started to cry, for years she'd wanted to hear those words. Even if he was drunk, she could tell he meant them. She had some of her own to tell him… She'd do it tomorrow… yeah.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a noise. Focusing for a moment she blushed. Turning over in bed, she tried to ignore the mortifying sounds of the captain and navigator.

---

The next morning we headed out to talk to a clown. The mayor had shown up, we'd thanked him for his kindness. But I'd knocked him out with haki. After he started to huff about fighting the pirates himself.

The others just shrugged as they followed me out. Knowing that all that would have gotten him was a quick death. Nami was to blissed out still to care about much.

Falling into my hunch hands in pockets, I led the crew towards the circus tent in the distance. Tits swaying with every step, much to Nami's delight. As we arrive at the tent, where in plain sight. I motioned the crew to wait a moment. Stepping forward I send smug to Nami. A grin splitting my face as I yell out. "BIG NOSEEEE!"

A moment of silence. "WHAT FLASHY BASTARD SAID THAT!"

Buggy runs out of the tent, his crew following in a panic at his rage. He spots me, his eyes lock onto my hat. He gets even more angry. "How dare you say that, you flashy straw hat wearing bitch! I'm Buggy the clown! And I'll kill you for that! Men ready the buggy ball!"

They begin wheeling out the canon. My crew is alarmed, Nami is scared. Turning I reassure them. "Don't worry it'll be fine! Just watch. ShiShiShi!"

I wait, hands in pockets.

"Die! Straw-hat! HaHaHaHa!!!" *boom*

The canon fires, as the buggy ball reaches me, I catch it. Using haki to reinforce the outer shell. Containing the explosion to a dull whoomph. As it shakes in my hand. Dropping it to the ground, my hand goes back into my pocket.

The Buggy pirates are stunned. Buggy trembles in rage, Shaking it off he calls out. "I Don't know what you just did, you flashy bitch! But if the Buggy balls won't work, we'll do things the hard way! Get them men!"

They hesitate for a second. But his glare kicks them into gear, they yell as they charge. Cabaji at the head of the pack. "Arghhh!"

I call the shots over my shoulder. "Nami, loot their crap. Zoro, Kuina, the mooks. Careful, of the one riding a unicycle. I'll handle Buggy, Go!"

Nami is feeling excited at getting more loot, as she pulls her staff from under her skirt. I take the chance to admire her gorgeous thighs. Next time I'm gonna eat her out, till she passes out heh. She positions herself behind me for safety.

Zoro answers in the affirmative, cutting himself off as Kuina charges ahead. "Got it, capta… Kuina! Wait for me!" Kuina had charged in. Getting the good fight.

I follow shortly behind, starting (Clownin' by Victory Kid.) at a medium volume.

Zoro, starts tearing through the mooks. Kuina, is darting in and out. Her and Cabaji trying to out nasty each other. Brutal! She gets him with a toss of her folded umbrella. Cabaji goes down.

Nami sticks to me, as we approach the staircase. Mohji is nowhere to be seen. Heh, I wonder what the fluff did with him? Unfortunately, the fluff isn't here either.

As I begin to climb the stairs, Nami slips away to loot. A clone fading in to help her carry it.

Then I'm at the top of the stairs across from Buggy, he's watching in rage and fear as his crew goes down. His eyes turn back to me filled with fury as he speaks. "Straw-hat! You'll pay for this! Why is it always flashy bastards with Straw-hats that ruin things! And where is the damn music coming from!"

I smirk, giving a laugh and playing dumb as I reply. "ShiShiShi! So you know shanks to huh? He gave me this hat! I'm gonna give it back to him, when I become Queen of the Pirates!"

His pupils narrow to pinpricks at my words, yelling out with his attack in blind rage. "It's the same hat! When your dead I'm gonna destroy that hat once and for all! Chop-Chop Cannon!"

His hands full of knives streak out, off his body.

I assume a battle stance, arms up and spread. A modified number from Yujiro Hanma. As they approach I decide to get flashy. The kunai darts in my gauntlets swing out on the ends of their cables. Dangling low to the ground. Seals channeling water chakra into them. Bringing my arms out, then in, results in a crossing whip effect. Hitting the hands with the blunt sides of the darts, as they slam into them. Buggy's hands are mangled as they're launched away. He screams in pain. "Argh what the flashy he*gurkh*"

He's cut off as I slam him into the ground, gripping his jaw. Channeling, haki and water nature chakra through my palm. Leaning down my hat shadows my eyes, as I speak a grin on my face. "I'll properly introduce myself. I'm Monkey D. Reina. The woman who is gonna be Queen of the Pirates. Now… this is gonna hurt but enjoy the flight!"

As I finish, I start to run forward, dragging him along the ground. Then I launch him into the air, as he falls I hit him with an uppercut. Lightning sparking along my fist's path. He flies over the horizon, managing to let out a yell. "STRAW-HAT!!!!!!!"

The still conscious buggy pirates give up grabbing their friends, fleeing back to their ship. I signal Zoro and Kuina to let them go. As they relax Zoro looks at her in contemplative silence. A few moments later, Nami blinks as the clone fades away. She's beaming ear to ear, as she grabs hold of my arm leaning into me. "There was so much loot Reina! Hehehe!"

I returned her joy with a fond smile, then turn. Ohh so that still happened huh. The villagers having found the unconscious mayor. Are attempting to make their way towards us, pitchforks and torches at the ready. I ignore their yells and focus on our savior. The fluff rewards all. I yell out in glee. "Thanks Chou-Chou! You're a good boy! Take care of your treasure! ShiShiShi!"

The others turn to look, Nami giggling at the sight of our fluffy savior. Zorro huffing in amusement as Kuina giggles. A clone fading in to grab them. Nothing left behind but our echoing laughs.

In no time at all we're slicing through the waves again, making idle chatter. In between our turns on the watch. Nami and I make out a bit, luxuriating in our new closeness. Looking up at the stars as we sail along through the night. Course set for syrup village.
