The weather in Calm Belt, in the isle of women, was never at peace in the last six months. Thunders roared wildly and high tides surrounded the main island. Not to mention the monstrous sea beasts and monsters which tried to inhibit the isle, Isle of women indeed was dangerous place. However, looking at small crowd who was laughing out loud with such strange cards with colorful colors around them, you wouldn't believe how scary the place was.
"Pick blue! Come on, darling boy, pick blue!" Sandersonia cheered the baby, who was rolling in the opposite color. He kept on rolling toward red area, making Hancock smiled wider from cheek to cheek. "Why he couldn't hear me?"
Hancock smirked at her younger sister, "I told you my baby will pick my favorite color. Keep it up son!"
"Well, well, I bet this little baby girl will pick pinyk, I give you 1000 gor, Ran."
"Fine! This girl will pick brown, 2000 gor for that Elder Nyon!" Ran exclaimed happily, watching at the little baby girl. She is adorable and very cute, she thought. "Go! Go! Baby!"
"I don't want to bet, but I'm sure she'll pick purple," Margaret said calmly. She still hardly believed that Hebihime-sama and Luffy were having twins. Luffy must be thrilled to see his babies, she guessed.
The other warriors shared the same feelings with Margaret. They were glad to know their queen had babies from her beloved man. Moreover, it was so amazing to see a baby boy. Hebihime-sama and Luffy were definitely superb!
"Go to the pinyk cards! Get me 3000 gor!"
"No! Even if you will you'll get 2000 gor only!"
"Count me in!" Belladonna raised her eyes. "I think she will pick orange."
"My babies aren't appropriate object for gambling you fool!" Hancock roared angrily. She was so despised and ready to throw Elder Nyon and the rest of Kuja warriors from the window when Mari shouted from the top of the round place.
"The boy picks red! He picked red maple!"
They were having the precious giving name ceremony based on the old Kuja's culture. The babies were put in the big circle within two layers inside. The first layer was filled with the card colors and the second was the cards of flowers and plants. The babies had to roll and pick their own color and plant. Thus, they shall be named according their own choices. The problem was this ceremony needed at least 10-15 persons. Hancock forcefully called her Kuja warriors to perform the ceremony.
Since her children were born, Hancock always tried to hide the fact that she had given birth and completely kept those babies away from anyone as possible. Yet, she had to call them as ceremony participants or the babies would get bad lucks. She didn't buy those superstitious, but she had to. And Elder Nyon was more than enough to convince her how important the ceremony was.
When she gathered all of her Kuja warriors and told them the truth, they reacted as if she had attacked them with Mero-mero Fruits. They were all frozen, didn't able to say any words. Yet she knew they were happy for her. So, here they were, in the Kuja's ballroom.
"Red maple?"
Hancock's blue eyes were suddenly filled with happiness, taking the baby boy with her. The six month infant was smiling to her, hummed few fuzzy words. "Ah, you picked red maple, honey. Shall be it, you'll be Boa Acer…"
Hancock tapped the baby's head lovingly, kissed him. "My little Acer…"
The crowd couldn't believe their eyes. With baby in her arms and those soft eyes, Hancock looked like Virgin Mary. The imaginary red roses gathered around the young mother. How lovely. How beautiful… she even looks more beautiful than before. Her beauty is enough to melt every man's icy heart and cold mountains! Oh, Hebihime-sama, you're the best!
Hancock ignored those fans of her and looked at the baby girl, "what will she pick?"
The crowd moved their attentions toward the baby girl, who was still trying to reach her color. She looked so funny with those pinkish chubby cheeks. The crowd started yelling and screaming.
"Brown!"
"PINYK!"
"Can't you see that she loves red as her brother does?"
"It's yellow!"
"SHUT UP YOU ALL!" Hancock cut in. "You're distracting her focus!"
The crowd kept quite for a while.
However, after 5 minutes of death silence they continued screaming again. This time they even screamed louder. Hancock sighed, giving up. She was too tired to stop all of the ruckus. Besides, she needed some fun too.
It had been six months since Boa Hancock had given birth to beautiful twins, a boy and a girl, for her beloved Luffy. With twin babies who always cried all over day and night, Hancock started to realize how hard motherhood was. Mari and Sonia were always with her and helped her, yet their help wasn't enough. And somehow, looking at all of the madness over there made her smiling. Only this occasion, people… enjoy your time…
"GREEN!" Margaret and Kikyo supported the baby. "PICK GREEN!"
"PINYK!" Elder Nyon might be old, but her reassuring spirit was super. "GO FOR 2000 GOR!"
"PURPLE! 5000 GOR!" Mari joined from the top of the ladder. The sudden movement made she lost her balance. "Aaah…!"
"HEIII!"
Almost everyone screamed. They were terrified Mari would hit all of them, including the baby girl. Hancock face was pale, didn't know what to do. She was too stupefied. Mari was a good fighter, but handling good balance in the air wasn't her ability. In fact, that was her weakness.
"MARIII!" Hancock shouted, running toward her. She knew she would be late, but it was better than doing nothing. She yelled again, "God! My baby!"
Damn, everything was too late.
With good speed and good reflect, Kikyo and Margaret helped maintaining the ladder. They managed to save everyone—and the baby.
"Be careful, Mari-sama!" both of the girls warned her.
Hancock and the rest were still pale, like blood had been drained from their face. Hancock quickly controlled herself, moving toward her baby girl. She was still struggling to pick her cards. Thank God she is safe.
"Thanks!" Mari cried happily, realizing the stupid accident had passed without any victims.
"Mariii!" Hancock pouted her mouth furiously, walking toward Acer, who was put on the floor by her before. "Stop playing around!"
"I'm very sorry sister!" Mari gulped nervously. "I didn't mean to…"
"Hmmph." Hancock sighed heavily. "That's okay, none gets hurt."
Her sister really has changed into a better person, Mari acknowledged. Her sister had short-tempered personality, so she usually threw tantrums or swearing. Hope she could keep that good spirit with her.
"… Next time you put my baby in danger I'll kill you."
Okay, that was the same old Hancock. She didn't change at all.
The crowd began the hysteria again. The cute baby tried to reach pink, making Elder Nyon screamed louder than before. Unfortunately for her, the baby girl changed the direction halfway. Everyone held their breath when the baby touched purple color.
Mari shouted once more, "the girl picks bright magenta!"
"Damn, I lost my 1000 gor!"
"Same here."
"So, what's the name?" Sonia looked at Hancock curiously. Hancock was busy looking at the old book, searching bright magenta section. Her face changed when she looked at the perfect name for Luffy's daughter.
"Fuchsia. Her name is Boa Fuchsia…"
"That's very beautiful nyame, Hebihime. I guess I must go…," Elder Nyon walked out from the room, but Ran and the rest warriors caught her hands.
"You owe us 2000 gor, Elder Nyon…"
"Please pity this old broke granny." Elder Nyon released the hands of young warriors. "I'm flat broke."
"No kidding! You just bought new dish washer last week!"
"YAY! Tickle Elder Nyon!"
"GYAAAH!"
The whole crowd laughed again and played all night. They were so happy and delighted to spend a wonderful night in the Kuja Castle.
After two crazy hours, everyone dismissed and left the castle. Both Sonia and Mari also went to their rooms. Hancock and her babies went to her chamber, taking a rest. She never felt that happy for the last months.
The pirate empress sighed in the window alone, looking at the bright stars. Perhaps telling her Kuja warriors wasn't a bad option after all. She knew that she couldn't help herself to keep her babies as secret anyway. She needed teachers for her babies. She needed supports, emotionally and physically. She needed to rule her kingdom. She also couldn't ignore the fact that she was one of the shichibukai, so she had to leave her kingdom sometimes.
She believed her Kuja Warriors would never tell anyone. They realized how dangerous the information of the existence of Luffy's children. In the past six months, Luffy had become one of the most prominent persons in the world. Straw Hat Crews had been on the top list of most wanted criminals in the world. No matter how many problems had resolved and bad pirates had been sent to Impel Down, World Government still considered them dangerous with million thousand berries as rewards.
Luffy, how much I miss you. Why this world is so cruel, separating two lovers apart. I really want to see you again, tell you how much I miss you, how much you mean to me…
Meeting Luffy was problem, and she couldn't do that. That's why she could only stay and wait patiently there. Well, she had been always waiting upon Luffy's promise to meet her again. He was so busy to conquer the world, fulfilling his ultimate dream to be the Pirate King. She knew it.
She always knew it.
That's why she couldn't disturb him or tell him about their children. Their children, Fuchsia and Acer. Luffy must be happy to know that his children grows as well and he will propose me in the end. We'll live together until the end of the world. I believe that day will come. I always believe that. Am I right, Luffy?
.

Hot weather was quite a problem in the sea, especially in the New World. The Straw Hats still had to fix some problems with the some rocky pirates who wanted to take their head away. It was lucky for Sanji since he got no poster exposed out there, but still he helped others.
Everything was going well. The Straw Hats were all in the Thousand Sunny, ready to sail anytime to another island. The log post that Nami had shown was a hot temperature island, so most of them had piled bunch of frozen ice and food.
Luffy had just finished from his three monthly shower when Usopp was waiting for him in front of the door. He smiled cheerfully, "want to have bath? Go ahead!"
"No I won't! Luffy, can I ask you something?" Usopp whispered so slowly, didn't want anyone to catch his words. "Tell me, who is this very attractive woman?"
Luffy was quite shocked when he looked at the picture of sexy Hancock which Usopp had handed to him. She was half-naked there, and Luffy recognized a piece of penne gorgonzola behind her.
"What? Hancock!"
"STTT!" Usopp covered Luffy's mouth with his hand. "Be quiet! I don't want Sanji hear about… about Hancock… eh? This is Hancock the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"Of course! I spent two years in one of her isle!"
"I SAID BE QUIET YOU MORON! I KNEW YOU SPENT TWO YEARS IN HER ISLE!" Usopp was so angry he didn't realize he was the loud one. He quickly put the photo inside his pocket. "By the way this is your camera. Thanks!"
"Huh? Did you get the photo from my camera?"
Usopp laughed slyly. He explained, "you always keep it, Luffy. I have wondered for months and when you took a bath I took it and printed out. Never guess you have that precious thing… You should tell me before…"
"Did you get the photo from my camera?"
Usopp smiled, "I told you before dammit. Yes I did! Can you tell me how to get her? EEH…! How can you have her in that camera?"
Suddenly, the blonde cook appeared behind them. "I smell small conspiracy here! What are you talking about, huh?"
"Damn! Sanji!" Usopp was stunned. "There's nothing!"
"Liar! I saw you fighting for a photo. Let me take a look at the… WHAT? WHOOOAAA!"
Just by looking at the photo, Sanji got another nosebleed attack. Blood rushed from his nose, making him lose his consciousness in no time. Actually, his nosebleed attack had been cured in the Fishman Island. However, the woman in the photo was Hancock after all.
"SANJI!" Both of Luffy and Usopp quickly get Chopper to help Sanji. "CHOPPER! SANJI GOT NOSEBLEED ATTACK!"
Chopper and Nami entered the room. Chopper face was blank when he looked at the amount of blood on the floor.
"What's wrong with him?" cried Chopper, feeling worried. "Help me to move him! Why did this happen again? We need to find blood as soon as possible!"
Nami shook her head, wondering. "Which woman this time? I saw no one here?"
Luffy and Usopp didn't say anything and helped Chopper to bring Sanji to his room.
"I thought his nosebleed had been cured," Chopper said.
Usopp answered without slightest guilt in his voice. "Naah, I guess he just returns to his old habit."
.
.
That day, all of the Straw Hats quickly managed to sail in the island nearby, looking for blood transfusion. Chopper was worried. He decided Sanji had to get another therapy session. He often asked himself how that could happen again to Sanji. It was near midnight when all situation was under control. They were so lucky to find blood for Sanji in the Cabanera Island.
After a while, Luffy asked Usopp. "Did you get the photo from my camera?"
That was the last straw for Usopp. "YOU HAD ASKED THAT THREE TIMES, LUFFY! YES, I TOOK IT AND I'M NOT THE IDIOT HERE! YOU ARE!"
Luffy hit his forehead, "Ah! That wasn't dream after all! I did that to her!"
Nami and Franky, who were standing near to the boys, quickly noticed something interesting was taking place there.
"What's not a dream?" Franky asked, wanted to know the situation. "You did what, Luffy?"
Luffy answered straight away, "guess I spent a night with Hancock."
DOOOONG!
Everyone was amazed hearing their captain had shared a night with woman. And that woman was the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock. However, spending a night could be anything, right? Luffy was an idiot after all.
Franky smiled naughtily, making provocative signals with his hands. "Did you mean this?"
Luffy nodded.
"NOOOO WAAAAY!" Nami and Usopp screamed, making sleeping Zoro wake up for a while, then he closed his eyes again. Robin only smiled from her room, continuing her novel.
"Come on!" Usopp hit Luffy's back, grinning. "No way man! You still need one hundred years to do such things!"
Franky took a small video from his panties, showing a porn shot. There, you could see the actress and actor fully naked with their genitals clearly shown to the camera. They moaned suggestively and passionately.
Usopp and Nami sighed. What a narcissist and pervert cyborg!
"Did you spend the night to commit this thing?"
In Luffy's head, he could see Hancock's naked body, hot and ready for him. It was like video, popped into his head. Hancock smiled when he kissed her, rolling on the top of her. He tried to join her, thrusting her. She moaned, calling his names many times. He enjoyed it, kissing her again.
Yes, he did that thing. And that wasn't dream.
"FRANKY! Could you turn off that and keep that inside your panties?" Nami warned him strongly. "He's Luffy! He couldn't possibly do any…"
"I did. That's not as painful as it seems."
Once again, everyone stared at Luffy with blank eyes.
"You can't be… with her?" Usopp showed the photo to everyone. Franky and Nami saw the most beautiful woman ever in the photo, smiling half-naked. Both of them never thought their jaws could drop to the floor, but their jaws really dropped and hit the floor.
"EEEEHHHH—?"
.
.
In the Kuja Castle, Hancock received a letter from World Government. They asked her to come at the meeting in the Holy Land of Mariejoa. She felt something fishy there. They never assembled any meetings there. She was so worried about that. They usually had meeting in Marineford. Everything was too strange for her.
Elder Nyon showed herself out of nowhere, as usual, read the letter carefully. She asked Hancock about her last activities in the Impel Down. She asked her about everything and Hancock answered those questions furiously.
"What have you done there, Hebihime-sama? Do they suspect you?"
Hancock raised her hand, "Don't be ridiculous! If they did, they would have attacked us in the last two and half years! They would have caught Luffy long time ago!"
"Hmmm."
There was a long pause.
Hancock hoped the meeting was only talking about the next shichibukai or something. Since Whitebeard died, the situation in the sea was getting worse than ever. She was trying to think positively. Come down, Hancock…
Mari and Sonia quickly entered Hancock chamber, "I must report something, sister! One of our ships is missing! None could see who the one who took it is, but Margaret and Kikyo are attacked."
Hancock face was getting paler. Her worst thought came straight into her brain. Traitors…
There are traitors between them… How long it has been happened?
Why?
What should I do?
"I must—I must… Elder Nyon, what must I do?" Hancock was surely confused. She was in danger. Her isle was in danger. Her twins… her babies' safety…
"What must I do?" she repeated. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
Elder Nyon shook her head, staring at those innocent babies and her queen. They were in great danger. They had to go and hide somewhere. Sonia and Mari were confused. Yet, they didn't say anything.
Hancock bit her lips exasperatedly. Luffy, what must I do?
Elder Nyon spoke slowly, "the best way is answering them that you have gone sailing somewhere. You have to leave this kingdom, Hebihime. You and your twins must leave as soon as possible. Sonia and I will take care the rest of kingdom here…"
"Leaving?"
There was another long pause.
"Yeah, guess I must go…"
"Meet Rayleigh and tell him everything. He'll do anything to save you. He'll make sure everything all right," Elder Nyon told her grimly. "Quick, prepare everything and leave. Ask our warriors to accompany you, Hebihime."
Hancock nodded, crying. "Please, guard this kingdom, Sonia, Mari… Elder Nyon…"
Then, with those words, Hancock was ready to leave with her babies. She had to save her life, and her babies' life. Luffy… If only you're here with me… oh, never been this scared…
In another place, in the middle of the ocean, Luffy was looking at Hancock's photo, which he had taken it with force from Usopp. He sighed, "I'm not marrying you, Hancock. Not now…"
In the sky, the stars kept on shining brightly.
