A Mysterious Island

A few days later, an island rose from the mist that morning. It was hard to see at first but as the mist cleared, it was easier to see. It wasn't like anything that we had explored before. It gave off an almost eerie feeling. Much more so than Usopp's home. I joined Nami on the deck as she was standing on the balcony. "What's going on, Nami? Can you see anything?"

She shook her head. "No. The fog is way too thick. Once it clears up, I'll be able to see more clearly."

I nodded. "Fair enough. Have you seen the boys lately?"

Nami nodded. "They're in the kitchen. Fighting over food as always. Typical boy stuff."

I giggled. "Sounds about right. If they're not fighting the Marines or other enemies."

"Do you think we should stop them from destroying each other?"

"And risk a misscarrige? No thanks."

A couple of hours later, the fog cleared to show a realistically large island with a large skull of some kind. By this point, the boys had joined Nami and me on the deck. Nami glanced at them. "It's about you stopped acting like kids and joined us. You're not very quiet."

Zoro smiled. "Sorry." He kissed my neck. "How's our little Henry?"

I bite my lip. "Hmm, Daddy. He's moving. I put his hand on my stomach. "Feel it for yourself." As if on instinct, my hand moved towards his dick.

Zoro smirked. "Hey, now. Does Momma want something?"

Henry kicked against Zoro's hand, reassuring his father that he was strong. 

Zoro smirked. "That's right, bud. Daddy's here to protect you and your mother."

Usopp noticed the romance between Zoro and me. He shuddered at the sight. He looked at Nami. "Are they always this mushy?"

Nami nodded. "Sadly, yes. Zoro can't leave Kat alone for more than 10 minutes."

Luffy finally spotted the island. "I say we explore the island once we arrive at it. We might be able to see if people live on it."

Sanji looked at Luffy like he had lost his mind. "That sounds like like a terrible idea. But now that you mention it, we can see if its possible to stock up on new ingredients to try some new recipes."

Nami smiled. "Then carry onwards."

Luffy took his normal spot on top of the sheep's head. "Here we come. Forward."

Nami giggled. "Yes, sir!"

Once the ship finally arrived at the island, we all disembarked so that we could explore. Luffy, Zoro, I and Sanji went one way while Chopper, Nami, and Usopp explored the other side of the island. It was much bigger than any of us could ever expect. Almost primitive. 

All around us were the calls of strange birds and the roars of bizarre animals. Something dark is calling from the depths of the small lake in the center of this strange place. Like a spell out of a witch's gimore. 

Luffy was far ahead of the group and was up in a tree. "Hey, Zoro, you have come here."

Zoro glanced up at the tree where Luffy was standing. "What do you see, Luffy?" He came over to where Luffy was standing.

Luffy pointed at a strange structure. "Do you think someone lives there?"

Zoro shrugged. "I'm not sure. It's possible. What are you thinking?"

"What do you think? I want to explore it, of course?"

Sanji set his bag down, giving his shoulder time to rest. He looked around and noticed that I had gone missing while Luffy and Zoro were too busy staring at the building that lay before them. "Hey, guy. Where'd Kat go?"

Zoro looked at him. "What do you mean? Pretty Kitty was just with us." He turned around and finally noticed that I had gone missing, as did Luffy. "I have to go find her. I'm not losing her."

Sanji blinked. "YOU'RE NOW REALIZING THAT KAT'S GONE MISSING! IF YOU HADN'T BEEN LOOKING AT THE BUILDING, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT SOONER.

I woke up a few hours later. "Where am I?" I looked down to see myself covered in some kind of waxy substance, making it impossible to move. 

My kidnapper walked over to me and bent down to look me in the face. "You're finally awake. Now that I have you, I can use you as bait for Zoro. He'll have no choice but to rescue you and his son."

I looked at him. "You're a lunatic. What do you want from me?"

My kidnapper smiled. "You're the world's greatest assassin, right? I want your skills. Your kind carries out their missions without question."

"I'm not gonna kill the man I love if that's what you're asking."

The man gave a creepy smile. "I don't want you to kill Zoro. I want him to see you suffer. It's perfect. He'll come and play hero just in time to see become a human candle."

"What are you talking about? Human candle?"

"That's right. As the wax that you're encased in gets hard, the flame that's right behind you will become lit, killing you instantly. All I have to do is take your form just to lure him into my trap."

"Zoro wouldn't fall for something like that."

The man lifted my head to see eyes with an evil look. "Oh, I think he will. Now, excuse me, I have a bounty hunter to seduce." He assumed my form before going off to see Zoro and the others. 

I started crying thinking that this might be the last time I'd see Zoro and the others for the last time. Don't worry, Henry. Your father will be here. He promised that he'd be here.

As Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji searched for me when they ran into Usopp, Chopper, and Nami. "Hey. You three haven't seen Pretty Kitty, have you?"

Nami shook her head. "Nope. It seemed so odd that she'd just up and leave."

The man called for Zoro using my voice. "ZORO, HELP ME!"

Zoro stopped moving for a moment. "Did you guys hear that?"

Luffy stopped as well. "Yeah, I did. Sounds like Kat but isn't."

The man called out again, almost like the wind. "Zoro..."

Immediately, Zoro's hand went to the hilt of one of his swords, drawing it towards the man who had taken on my form. "Tell me, what you've done with Pretty Kitty and my son?"

"Why would I tell you? When I can just show you. The bounty hunter turned father-to-be and pirate. You think that you can play hero."

Luffy's face hardened when he saw the man. "You're the one who made that house. You kidnapped Kat in hopes of separating her from Zoro. Tell me where you're hiding her. We might be willing to talk in terms of peace."

Zoro looked at Luffy. "Are you insane? This man took Pretty Kitty. I'm not interested in talking peace terms."

Luffy looked at him. "Zoro, I don't want to talk peace with this crazy man. But it might be the only way for us to save Kat and Henry. Plus he wasn't given to us a name. I'm not interested in learning it anyway." 

The man laughed. "You're captain is a smart one. But enough talk. Come and see what's become of your finacè." He showed Luffy, Zoro, and the others what had become of me.

The smoke of the flame of the fire started getting even worse. I couldn't see. The smoke had started getting into my lungs. I knew that I had to stay strong for my son. I blinked. "Zoro.. where are you? I.. love you." I passed out before thinking that I saw the outline of him or Luffy. My eyes started closing, and I started to fade. 

Zoro ran forward and caught me as I fell. "Hey, Pretty Kitty. Don't leave me. I'm here." 

The man smirked. "It was so easy to lure her away from you. All I had to do was disguise myself as you."
