I fell to the ground after being glomped by Luffy, Ace, Kakyoin, and Tai Lung.
"Oof... what was that for!?" I shouted at the four.
"You were gone for so long!" Luffy shouted in reply.
"We thought you were gone forever!" Ace shouted alongside Luffy.
"I missed you so much!" Tai Lung wailed.
"I'm just joining in for fun..." Kakyoin said with a playful smile.
"Alright then... how about the five of us go hunting tomorrow, I'll make sure to catch the largest thing out there for the five us to feast on! Like kings!" I said with a grin.
"Yeah! Like Pirate Kings!" Luffy said, stars in his eyes.
"Yeah! Yeah! Pirate Kings!" Ace agreed, stars also in his eyes.
Tai Lung and Kakyoin just grinned happily.
"Now... you two should get to bed early if you want to eat like Pirate Kings," I said to my brothers.
"Alright! Goodnight!" Luffy said he ran to his bed.
"Yeah! Goodnight!" Ace said as he also ran to his bed.
They fell asleep instantly, the snoring coming from them convincing everyone in the house that was currently awake.
"Now you two, follow me," I said as I went to a secluded area in the woods away from Dadan's House.
"What is it, bro?" Tai Lung asked, tail wagging as a dogs would.
"Yeah, what is it? I'm curious" Kakyoin asked as well.
"Well, first things first... I got a new Devil Fruit" I said as I held out the Jinx Jinx Fruit to them.
"It's pretty small, isn't it?" Tai Lung asked, which was a fair question as it was in the shape of a singular grape.
"Yeah, and it looks... menacing" Kakyoin said as he backed away from the Jinx Jinx Fruit.
"It's called the Jinx Jinx Fruit, it causes unluckiness in its wielders while enhancing the user's allies. It can also take away the luck from enemies" I informed my summons/brothers.
"That... doesn't seem that good. What's the use of a Devil Fruit if it could kill you at any time, even when you're not in combat, and how will it know who's an ally and who's an enemy?" Tai Lung said seriously, already seeing the instant flaws in the Devil Fruit.
"And that's precisely why I'm not going to eat this Devil Fruit. Or the Dove Dove Fruit... mostly because of its low [Star], don't get me wrong if I got my hands on a [3 Star] Devil Fruit without any glaring flaws, I'd eat it in a heartbeat... but for now, I've only got two Devil Fruits that I don't know what to do with" I informed my summons/brothers.
"I mean, you could always give the Dove Dove Fruit to Ace," Kakyoin said.
"No, that won't work... he's going to get a better one, later on, wouldn't want to take that away from him... it'd probably be a [4 Star], anyways," I said with a grimace.
"Okay... how about giving it to Dadan? Or handing it to Grandpa Garp?" Tai Lung said.
"I don't really feel comfortable giving a Devil Fruit to a bandit or a random marine... and I would still like to keep it on my person, just in case," I said.
"Alright, that makes sense... anything else, bro?" Kakyoin asked.
"Ah yeah, I got a new Summon. He has the Jacket Jacket Fruit and Apprentice Swordsmanship... he's a [2 Star] at the moment" I informed my summons/brothers.
"Good to know... what's his name?" Tai Lung asked.
"Ah, it's... Jackson" I said hesitantly.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"You're not very good at names are you?" Kakyoin asked rhetorically.
"Shut up," I said, annoyed at my bad naming sense.
"...Anything else you manage to forget telling us?" Tai Lung asked jokingly.
"Ah yeah, the Blank Devil Fruit," I said with realization.
"The What Devil Fruit?" Tai Lung asked.
