"Wwaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" The cry of a child rang through a pirate ship.
The entire crew was severely injured, as they'd just recently survived an encounter with the Marine captain Momonga. The pirate captain, having heard the kid cry for long enough, yelled "Shut him up before I throw him into the sea! Where's Emeraude?!"
"Sir." A raspy voice called out. It was a middle-aged man with his left arm missing.
"What?"
"She's dead. She shot herself when she was about to be captured."
"tsk...Useless bitch." the captain muttered but everyone heard.
They were the Kangaroo Pirates, one of the thousands of wishful pirate crews who entered the Grand Line in hopes of finding the late Pirate King's treasure, the One Piece. They, unlike the many other hopefuls, were fortunate enough to have 2 devil fruit wielders, the Captain and Emeraude, who carried them into paradise. However, they were utterly defeated when faced with a competent Marine captain.
Out of the 136 starting crewmates, only 13 were still onboard...14 if you included the kid, but the captain certainly didn't because he was on the verge of killing him, "It's this bastard's fault! If it weren't for him Emeraude wouldn't have been so weakened!"
He tried to get up and kill the little shit, but couldn't due to his legs being crushed, "It's all your fault!!" He cried out, throwing the nearest item at the crying baby, but missed.
His crewmates pitied the sorry state of their captain. The captain and his wife...slave? The relationship between the captain and Emeraude was pretty complicated. Emeraude was a Fishman (Fishwoman?) whom he'd bought from an auction house in the West Blue. Over the course of 13 years, she'd got it beaten and thrust into her that escaping was useless.
They'd sailed in the West Blue since year 1487, 13 years before Roger's execution, collecting a sizeable crew to sail into the Grandline (paradise).
In year 1500, September 17, Roger was executed in Loguetown and during the same day, Émeraude had given birth to her 6th baby. 2 months later, on December 17 at 1 PM they went up Reverse Mountain, having started what they believed to be a start of a new era; their era.
7 hours. That's how long it took for their hopes and dreams to be utterly crushed. Their entire crew was all but killed after pillaging their first town.
On the captain's order, Emeraude, with her devil fruit, Rabbit-Rabbit model: Flemish Giant, dove headfirst into the frontlines to buy enough time for the crew to escape. However, only 13 managed to escape due to the naval tactics of Marine captain Momonga.
The constant cries of the baby made the captain go absolutely mental. All his anger, loss, frustrations, grief, and failure were targeted at the poor little turd (baby). He believed that it was due to the baby that Emeraude wasn't able to fight the Marines at her best, which in turn didn't buy them enough time to escape. However, he couldn't do anything to the turd (baby) due to his crushed legs.
After a few nights, they caught a big wave and crash-landed ashore on an island.

(??? Pov)
I sighed looking at the earnings for the day; 33k Beri. It doesn't sound bad, but the money quickly starts to disappear when you have an organization to run and a family to take care of.
'shit...at this rate we'll get taken over by the Agosti family' I thought. I looked at the clock, it was 8:43 PM.
I was finishing things up for the day when the door to my office opened. It was my right-hand man, Ryan Kendji. He walked in and sat in the chair across from my desk, "Yo, Boss, a pirate ship landed ashore."
"Just send some associates or soldiers to loot it." I said, putting paperwork in the correct folders.
He chuckled, "Already did. 47 million Beri in cash, and 36 gold bars, each weighing 11kg. To top it all off, the crew's bounty is worth 93 million."
"Ryan, I swear to fucking god! Enough with this type of bullshit! Go home, the business is about to be overtaken by those Agosti bastards." I said, generating cinder particles in the air. He's done this too much for me to take him seriously.
He laughed, "Fine, fine, you got me..."
"You're lucky I'm married to your sister or else-" I started saying, but was interrupted.
"There were 37 gold bars and they weighed 13 kg."
I blankly stared at him for a solid minute before throwing a pen at him, but he caught it, "All the loot has already been transported to our treasury."
"This better not be one of your jokes again, because if it is, I'll kill you." I said, clearing the cinder in the air.
"I would never lie about such a big thing, Boss."
"Great job. Did you cash in on their bounty?"
"I've already sent Jonny to Mt. Baymore to do that. More importantly," He said, his face turning a bit more serious, "we found something that could prove to be very interesting."
"Alright? Go on..."
"We found a baby." He said, instantly killing all the mystery and my curiosity.
"Ok." I said as I tidied things up to leave, "He's probably one of the pirates' spawn. Just throw him in the sea or something; I'm sure there are some hungry sea dwellers who'd appreciate our gesture"
I put on my coat and headed out to my house.
Ryan followed suit, "That's the thing, we did throw him in the sea...!"
I stopped walking, "What? Then why are you telling me about him?"
His face lit up, it was the biggest smile I'd ever seen him have, "haha...they brought him back, Boss."
I look at him suspiciously, "Who is 'they'?"
"The ocean creatures!" He said ecstatically, widening his arms, "It was the craziest fucking thing I'd ever seen! I even saw sharks kill an octopus because it was in the baby's way!"
All that mystery and curiosity came back like a tidal wave, "Wait what!? How's that even possible?"
The tidal wave faded away very quickly as I came to a realization, "He's just a fishman."
"I know, I know; he's just a fishman, but think about it, Boss! We can groom him to be whatever we want!" He said, blocking my path, "How much easier would it be if we had a fishman fighting within our ranks?"
I walked past him, 'I can't lie, having a fishman amongst our men would be beneficial in terms of manpower. However, he IS a fishman; they're all filthy slimy stinky...things. Is it even safe to own one? Will it make my men and my family sick? What if it goes wild, after all, it IS an animal. Actually, is it even smart enough to know how to go wild? It's a fucking fish for crying out loud!'
I continued to walk to my house while having the displeasure of thinking about a disgusting fishman, 'How much would I benefit from a fishman anyway? What can they do that we, the superior humans, cannot? If it weren't for that fucking Stefano Agosti, I wouldn't even have to consider such an idea...fuck!'
"Boss, are you even listening?" I was brought back by Ryan's question.
"Yea, " I lied, "I was just thinking about something"
"Sooo, what do you think? Can you do it?" He asked
"Yea sure, whatever." I brushed him off as I was in front of my house. I walked up the stairs and got my key out of my back pocket...except it wasn't there. I probably forgot it at the office; I knocked on the door.
I didn't have to wait long as the door opened and I saw my daughter, Hanae. I had her during my 4th marriage, I'm currently on my 6th. I went for a hug, but she went past me and hugged Ryan yelling, "Uncle Ryan!!"
"Niece Hanae!" He said mimicking the way she said it. He picked her up and threw her in the air.
I'M supposed to be doing that...he's a dead man walking. One of these days, I'll punch a hole through him, even if he is the 'ACE' of the Kendji family.
"Oh is papa back already~?" I heard my wife's voice from inside. I walked inside and said, "I'm home!"
"Welcome back, dear!" She replied, "How was work?"
"You want me to be honest or lie?" I joked
"Oh no, what happened this time. Don't tell me it's Ryan again." She rambled on about something, but I stopped paying attention. When done with her rambling, she washed her hands, dried them by patting them against her sides, and came over to where I was.
"I'm making Seafood Paella and Lobster, with pineapple risotto...your favorite." She said, nearing her face towards mine.
I grabbed her waist and kissed her. It lasted a while but was interrupted by Hanae, "Ewww, stop kissing. You're spreading your bad germs on Mrs. Harumi, Papa!"
"right...?" Ryan agreed. Harumi threw something at him, "ow....rude."
"Honey, go take a shower and change clothes. I'll call you when dinner's ready."
She's just the best.
Thank god I divorced those other whores while I still could, or else I would have never met my current wife. The others didn't cheat or anything like that, they wouldn't even dream of doing such, but they were just lacking in areas where a woman should excel. They lacked basic cooking and cleaning knowledge; they didn't have the best bodies either. They were just steppingstones that I used due to their families or connections to help my organization.
Harumi has it all. She is a great cook, makes sure the house is squeaky clean, is incredibly beautiful, and her family is very rich. The only downside is that she's very plain and a bit boring, she isn't very adventurous in bed, but that can be worked around.
I put my shoe in the shoe rack and headed upstairs to take a shower. I brought the clothes I'll wear after and placed the ones I was wearing in the laundry basket. While I was midway through the bath, I heard a knock on the door, "Who is it?" I asked.
"It's me." It was Harumi, "Dinner's ready, come down when you're ready."
THAT'S how a woman should act.
"I'll be there in a minute." I said, getting out of the bathtub. I walked into the shower and swiftly washed my body and hair.
I finished showering in 3 minutes. I dried myself and put on clothes. I walked downstairs and sat down for dinner, "Thanks for the food" we all said before we started eating.
We talked about many things, but when we were almost finished, Hanae asked about something which completed bewildered both me and Harumi, "So when am I meeting my baby brother?"
Harumi and I looked at each other, confused, "Baby brother?" Harumi asked.
"Yea! Uncle Ryan said that papa has a baby boy that is going to live with us!" She said, causing Harumi to give me a strong glare.
'Stop looking at me like that before I bitch slap you.' I wanted to say but didn't because Hanae was there. Instead, I said, "No, I do not have another baby. Ryan is just..."
I paused as I realized who Ryan was talking about; that filthy pirate fishman spawn, "Ryan is just confused because there is no way I'm taking care of that disgusting fishman!" I said a little louder than I probably should have.
The table went quiet, before Ryan said, "...so you going to eat that risotto oorrrr...?"
Harumi was the next to speak, "What fishman, Eneo."
"It's nothing," I clarified, "We just found a pirate ship that landed ashore and when we looted it Ryan found a fishman baby. I told Ryan that I'm not going to raise no filthy fishma-"
"He doesn't even look like a fishman!" Ryan interjected, "The only thing that even resembles fishman quality is his teeth, which are akin to a shark..."
This fucking guy. I should have never accepted your father's request, "My problem isn't that he looks like a fishman, but that he IS a fishman."
"What's wrong with fishmen, uncle?" Hanae asked
"They're all filthy disgusting creatures that should all be kil-" I didn't get to finish as Ryan spoke over me.
"Nothing's wrong with them." He said, loudly enough to make me stop, "Your papa is just scared of them."
I collected myself, "No, I'm not. I just don't want them to harm any of you. "
"Are they bad guys?" She asked
Before I could even answer, Ryan said, "No. They're not bad at all. In fact, the baby can control little fishies!"
"Wow! Really!?" She asked star-eyed, "Papa, Papa, can we have him?"
"I don't see a problem with adopting him." Harumi added, "It'll be fine~! Our family owned a fishman before, they're very strong and helpful."
Ryan, Harumi, and I argued about it for what felt like forever, but they ended up winning. I tried everything, but when Hanae said, "Papa if you don't adopot him, I'll never give you a goodbye kiss." That was the moment I conceded from the battle.
Ryan said that he'll bring the baby over tomorrow morning and left, giving Hanae a high five and a hug? He's for sure dead...
Harumi and I tucked Hanae to bed, "You promise he'll live with us?" She asked.
"Of course, I never break my promises!" I said, kissing her forehead.
Harumi and I went to our room after saying goodbye and turning off the light.
"Why do you hate fishmen so much?" She asked
I took off my clothes and laid on the bed, "Because they're disgusting."
She changed into her pajamas and came to bed, "Surely that's not the only reason. It sounded like they hurt you personally or something."
I sighed out loud, "Can we stop talking about fishmen? I've heard the word so much today that I don't ever want to hear it again!" I said, to which she giggled.
We just laid in bed, without saying anything, for a while. I guess it was too long because when I turned over to her, she was facing away from me and looked like was already asleep.
Looking at her sleeping body got me feeling a certain way and before I knew it, I was fully erect.
I slipped my right hand past her pajama and fondled her chest, "...honey, stop," she said, "go to sleep..."
I ignored her, sliding my left hand under her waist and caressed her clit, "Eneo, stop it!" she said, louder than last time, "Go to sleep!"
I continued to do both and she eventually gave up, "One round." she said weakly, her face flushed, "Ok? I'm willing to go one round, but you have to promise me that we'll stop after!"
I grabbed her and went for a kiss, but she stopped me, "Promise me first!" She said meekly, turning her face away.
I chuckled, "I promise."
I lied. We went for much more than 1 round, well past 2 pm.
