The Dreaded puff puff fruit

The party had settled down, but still, someone had made the mistake of calling the local Marines to come in and try and make the rainbow merc's leave.
"Listen, we understand you think you're big shots, but you just need to get back to your ship, and get off our island."
the man talking was two hit Malcore, a semi famous Marine captain know for, you guessed it,
Dropping the bad guys in two hits.
It took John many more hits to drop the cocky captain, But since he was moving so fast the 500 punches to Malcore face that left him disfigured and with no teeth only took all of 3 seconds.
"Most of my men are drunk and need to sleep it off for a bit. we'll leave when we're ready to." John said, talking to Malcore second in command.
"M-Makes sense to me..' he gulped and ordered the rest of them to back off, and they dragged the body of their captain with them.
"fucking prick. " John growled softly.
"Don't tell me we're about to get anther speech about how we're not getting the respect we deserve.." Sarah sighed, sipping her drink.
John glared at her, and she trembled.
"I..I Mean..." she stammered.
"What she means is that she's had one too many, and the booze sends her togue ahead of her reason." Gerard said quickly.
"Why don't you come sit down, and we'll talk. you have to be starving after using your speed to get here, get us together and take him out."
John slowly relaxed and walked over to Gerard, cracking knuckles covered in blood.
"Yeah..."

"what if we used sea stone?"
Sanji was standing by the window in Nami's room, trying to to look over.
a small cot was set up, and Robin was dressed in a night gown covered with a fussy black blanket.
"How much would you try to use?" She asked.
"I..I don't know...how much where in those handcuffs used on you?"
"Now that was a pleasant experience." she said scowling a little.
"..right, I don't like reminding you of it, but still, just enough of it, and she'd be able to function but her 'powers' would be nullified correct?"
"It's a idea, but sea stone causes major depression even if you're able to keep moving. It took a lot of will power, and the support of everyone to get back the will to live.." Robin said.
"...OK sea stone is out." He said with a sweat drop.
Nami muttered something, shifting about in her sleep and whining.
the sheets crinkled, having been turned to plastic water proof ones under the soft silk ones, and she ended up on her knees and chest, face turned to the side and suckling softly again, butt in the air.
"..She really is too cute." he said with a sigh, and took her purple blanket and put it back over the padded girl.
"I -did- already mention that's her power." robin said, looking though one of her books.
"what are you looking at, a cure for her?" Sanji asked.
"No. I'm reading up on some texts. There is No cure for devil fruit powers. at current rate, there's not going to be a cure for devil fruit powers. they only way of canceling them out causes the user discomfort and I'm not going to subject little Nami to that." Robin said looking annoyed.
"The sooner you accept that this is what she's stuck like now, and that there's no quick solution, all the better.
"maybe in time, and with carful practice, so might gain control of it, so many she won't look like a complete baby, but if you want her to master her powers,you're going to have to back off and let her get used to them, and stop trying to quick fix this."
"I..I ."
"Was just leaving, correct?" Robin asked, pointing to the door.
red faced, Sanji walked out.
"heh...you got served." Giggled Nami.
robin turned quickly, to find Nami rolling over and sitting up, paci in her hand.
"And how long have you been awake?"
"Long enough." she said with a little wink.

Gerard sighed, and sipped a nice light wine.
low in alcohol but rich in taste, he knew he could enjoy it without messing with his power.
the most annoying part of his job, wasn't the bad guys, or the marines..it was putting up with his own team mates.
Gary, who was drunkenly hitting on Sarah at the moment was alright, once you learned to deal with the berserker part of him.
Sarah, was a spoiled brat who he'd like to teach some manners, but one didn't simply assault you're team mates without good reason.
Ryan was a drunk, but always worse a few chuckles, though he learned the hard way not to try and read his mind.
Ron was alright depending on where they were. once it got even a little too cold, he turned into a whiner, but as long as it was hot, he was fun.
Lance..Hell even thinking of that leech of a man made him frown. the leech was with out a doubt the sorry excuse of a man around, and if it wasn't for John, Gerard would of sliced him to bits long ago.
between the nature of his powers, and how he acted..
John, was a interesting case.
Level headed, able to take a joke most of the time...
John came from a well off family, that had shunned him because of his devil fruit power.
taught to expect a level of respect when it was earned, John fought hard not for money, but to be respected.
when cases like Malcore came around, it always riled him up.
"penny for your thoughts." John said.
"Just thinking about my wonderful team." Gerard said dryly.
"heh. Bull. You hate almost all of us."
"Well alright, true. but the pay is good, and some of the company is alright."
At that moment, a Ryan clone stumbled over, and Gerard was hard pressed to move out of the way before it vomited.
"Of course others could stand to improve their manners.." He added dryly
