130 cleaning east blue 5 (1/2)
Making my way back to the village, my ears were rapidly assaulted by the sound of music and laugher, the sent of alcohol and food hitting my nose. Looking for him while I was making my way through the thankful villagers, I saw Genzô seated under his parasol. Putting delicately the chest against his house wall, he raises a brow while looking at it.
”Nami wished that the money she had collected the past eight-years was split among the people of the island, it not much, but it should be a welcoming income, after all of this.”
”You are going to take her on your ship right?”
”Yes.”
”Then keep it, you will need it more than us.”
”You don't have to worry about that, We raid Nezumi stash from the bribe, and Arlong Park before destroying it we have more than enough money to last us. Plus, the seas are full of monster that I will be able to hunt easily to feed the girls, there won't be a problem.”
”Girls, are you saying that you are cheating on Nami!”
”Calm down, and no, since she knows. You don't know it but I'm not human.” I let my hears appears long enough to see them.” I m the last male of my kind and it extremely difficult for women of my species to become pregnant.”
”How much difficult?”
”They have only a two chance per years to become pregnant, after that, it a complete year to bear the child to term, another year to recover for the childbirth, so it could only be around a child every 2 years and a half. Add to that than bearing another one immediately after is dangerous, it could cost the mother and child live.”
”How so?”
”The pregnancy his heavily taxing, energy-wise, so much that they wouldn't be able to walk much even in the early period. To carry another one safely, it better to at least wait for some time as long as the entire process.”
”So every five years? I see why you say it difficult, add the fact that women would stop being able to carry child rapidly, that leaves not much chance.”
”It would if we were living as long as you.”
”What do you...” I could see his widen when he understands. ”...How long?”
”Their life spend is based on mine, and for now, 1200 years.”
”What?! Wait, a minute, for now?”
”Yes, it faint put I had to feel my life spend lengthen slowly.”
”That bullshit.”
I chuckle at his sigh, but I was of the said mind, I'm just thankful that they would turn their attention on me, seeing their relative die wouldn't be a pretty sight.
”That why she wanted to speak to her sister.”
I barely hear him say it.
”She didn't know.”
”Oh she may not have told her, but she certainly knows, she is too crafty for that.” Chuckles him, and from his eyes, he was remembering memories. ”You take care of them both, you understand? They are like my daughters, and I don't want to hears about them being heartbroken.”
While he didn't possess the strength to threaten me, I know he means it.
”They are my girl, my wives, I won't allow anyone to make them sad, and they will protect each other, the bond will see to it.”
”good. SO what it like to live that long?”
”For no I can't tell, I'm only 18 but I always wanted a large family. Who knows You may be able to see your grandchildren in a decade or two.”
”won't that be dangerous?”
”If everything turns as planned the marines won't be a problem at that time, and if the need arises, I will prepare a bolthole for them to pass their days without worry.”
”Se to that. How much are you staying?”
”Not too long, the marine know we are here, and they will send troops at us, it wouldn't surprise me that we would found Bounties on our heads soon.”
”Why I could understand for beating Nezuni, but it shouldn't be to the point that Bounty is put on you, right?”
”You don't know of us, right? It not just Nezumi. I have killed Colonel Morgan from shell town, along with twenty of his men, killed the majority of Baggy crewmate before capturing the man, I have found a pirate playing dead with a bounty of 16,000,000B, killed his past crew, and capture the new captain and the two lieutenants. The marine will surely put on my head the hundred of marine that had died from Arlong hand earlier. I had squashed the two hundred men worth base of Nezumi, before wiping out Arlong crew, his lieutenants and shoot Nezumi to death.”

Hearing all of this Genzô start to take the full picture, as no news have been published yet, that means that it happens fast, perhaps in less than a week, and if everything is true, he had taken care of the most problematic pirates of those waters from the past few years.
Add to the deaths and destruction of complete marines base, he was sure to at the very least receive a bounty of 25,000,000B or even more!
Strangely the knowing that his daughter in all but the blood would be with him, ease him, sure it would be dangerous, but Nami would have been tracked down after the deals of Nezumi would have been aired.
It was better that they quit the island, by taking Nojiko with them, it's leverage less against her.
##################################
A few hours later, Genzô and Alex were joined by Nami and Nojiko from their house and Kuina and Tashigi. From the newest girl, he guesses that Nami must have told here some embarrassing stories, as Nojiko sported a slight blush, that flare each time she looked at Alex.
As for Tashigi, she had completely healed from her injury. The change had also get her rid of her glasses, and she was now the replica of Kuina. The only mean to differentiate them was from their different blades and clothes.
The two that were the most familiar with him sitting on his side, with Nami nearly being on his lap, and the two other on their counterpart sides. Enjoying the festivities for a few hours until the sky was pitch black, Kiuna return to the ship to sleep, followed by her refound twins while Alex follows Nami and Nojiko back under Genzô slightly drunk gaze.
##################################
As soon as they enter the house, Nami vanishes in it while Nojiko was left with Alex.
”So, you just bite me?”
”Yes, I just bite you.” Say, Alex, chuckling at her slightly awkward voice. ”The change won't be painful, you may feel a slight tingling sensation or a hitch to scratch but that will be all.”
”Can you, you know...”
”Turn everyone?” Asked him, receiving a nod back.” No, only those that are the more compatible with me. and even then, she must will it, otherwise, it wouldn't completely take.”
”What would happen if she feels hesitation before it completely takes?”
”The change would be suspended. She will be marked as my mate, but other than emitting a strong fragrance that we could only sense, to indicate that she is mine, it will be frozen until she feels sure that she wants it.”
”Would you act differently if one of you girl didn't turn immediately?” Ask her worried, finally making me realise that she wasn't sure of herself.
”No, I won't, the moment you accept to at least being bitten by me and let me bite you, your mine, and I would never reject whose mine.”
