Back at the Going Merry after you and Robin left
"Is (First Name) going to be okay?" Nami asked worriedly.
"Of course, she's gonna be okay. She just needs personal space" Luffy replied as he turned to Vivi who flinched in guilt.
"You shouldn't have called her that. She wouldn't have refused for no reason"
Vivi looked down in shame. "I'm sorry. It's just that all the things happening in my kingdom and what Crocodile will be planning makes me so frustrated that I snapped at her without thinking. I thought she was turning a blind eye to all the things he had done"
"Still, you shouldn't have lashed out your anger at (First Name)" Ghin remarked.
"(First Name)?" Vivi inquired.
"It's her real name. She didn't reveal herself to you because she didn't trust you yet or because of your loose lips" Zoro answered.
An invisible arrow has been shot through her chest because it's true. (First Name) . . .that name suits her.
"What happened earlier?" Usopp asked.
"(First Name) always had nightmares related to her missing memories after Jii-chan took her in so she always wakes up in the middle of the night. We slept with her to comfort her sleep but now she always sleeps during the day even though she has enough sleep at night"
"So that's why she always sleeps during training back then" Zoro groaned, remembering the times while training with swords, you always fell asleep even though you had enough sleep at night.
"What do you mean by missing memories?" Nami questioned.
"Before Jii-chan took her in, she told me that she woke up on an unknown island and couldn't remember anything before that which is one of the reasons why she set out to sea. To regain her memories and see the world"
Everyone on the ship looked down with sadness. Now Vivi felt even more guilty for snapping at you and wanted to apologize for what she did but decided to give you some space. You looked so calm and cheeky that they didn't realize you were suffering.
"What was the condition called for her oversleeping in the day?" Usopp asked curiously.
"It's called Hypersomnia. It is similar to Insomnia and Narcolepsy but it might be one of the other two" Nami answered while placing her chin on her hands.
"I see. Is that why she didn't sleep that night while she was on night watch?" Sanji lit up his cigarette.
Things are starting to make more sense for your weird sleeping behavior and they couldn't help but sigh. Things won't be the same without you around but it's for the best. Not with your current condition.

At Alabasta~
When the Travel Turtle reached the docks, Robin wanted to shake you awake but you were sleeping so soundly so she left you here and went to inform Crocodile about your arrival.
When you woke up, you got up and looked around to realize that you were on a soft bed. Hang on, why are you on a bed? You look around to find a luxurious room with expensive furniture. You look down to find your clothes are still there but your face mask has been removed.
"You're awake"
You turned to the source of the voice and found Robin by the door. "Did Crocodile bring me here?"
She nodded in response and you chuckled. "I feel like we swap places now that I'm in bed and he's not"
She wanted to ask you what you meant but didn't press any further. Instead, she said, "Your new clothes are in the closet and Sir Crocodile would like you to be at his office"
You hummed in response as she left the room and closed the door. You yawned as you got out of bed and opened the closet where the clothes were. You're not very picky in fashion but that doesn't mean your fashion sense is bad.
You decided to pick this outfit for the hot temperature of Alabasta. In particular, you will change to a different proper attire but for now, you'll wear this.
Once you're done changing, you left the room without your weapons and hat to find Crocodile's office. When you found it, you knocked on the door and the other side revealed a growled voice.
"Who is it"
"It's me, Crocodile"
"Come in"
You opened the door to see Crocodile doing some paperwork as you walked in and sat on one of the armchairs in the office.
There was an awkward silence and both of you were anxious about the atmosphere.
'Say something, damn it!!' are both your thoughts.
You decided to break the silence as you coughed. "So . . .you knew that I was with the Straw Hats at the time with the princess??"
"Yes, I do. May I know why you're with them when you could just use your ship??"
Your face distorted into humiliation and turned away to avoid eye contact. There's no way you're telling him that your ship got destroyed and sunk by the rookies. Especially from East Blue.
When he didn't get a reply, he stopped his work and looked at you. "Why aren't you answering my question?"
"Because my ship got destroyed and sunk but I can't tell you how because it's humiliating and you might find it amusing to my embarrassment" you replied with a sweatdrop.
He raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Was it them that destroyed your ship? No wonder you didn't answer and you're right, I do find it amusing"
You turned to him with a scowl on your face. "Very funny, Crocodile"
After that embarrassing moment, the both of you talked like you usually do plus you both enjoyed each other's company.
"I've heard from Ms. All Sunday that you came together with her because you refused to help the princess and the both of you got into an argument leading to 'that'"
". . ."
After the short silence, you snorted. "So what? We're pirates so taking lives is expected. I don't see the point in talking about it. Monster? I already knew that so there's no need for you to worry about it"
His eyebrows furrowed into a frown. Did the princess call you that? It seems that I'm not letting her go with enough reason other than interfering with my plans.
Crocodile's one of the few people you were comfortable with telling your flashbacks. He didn't say anything and just listened while doing his paperwork. He may look like he didn't care but you know that he's listening which is one of the things you liked about him.
You stared at him for a moment then asked, "Do you mind if I can . . .?"
He sighed roughly and grumbled. "As long as you don't interrupt my work then I suppose you can"
You smiled as you got up and walked over to Crocodile. You sit in front of him as you wrap your arms and legs around his torso and nuzzle your face into his chest, making yourself comfortable. He may look annoyed with you wrapped around him but inside he loves the close contact you're giving and this kind of thing is normal when alone because of two reasons. One is because he has a reputation to uphold and two, he doesn't like other people knowing that the both of you are very close.
It's been a few hours and you're now asleep, still wrapped around Crocodile. It was now nighttime and he was finally done with the paperwork. As he was about to get up with you wrapped like a koala, he smelled something suffocating but at the same time . . .it felt pleasurable. Crocodile was confused until he found out the source of this weird smell.
It was from you so he woke you up. "Hmm, what is it, Crocodile??"
"That smell. Why is it coming out of you?? It's so fucking suffocating"
Now it's your turn to be confused. "What do you mean?? I don't smell anything"
(Ahahaha, I'm so fucked, am I?? I should have put this book under mature. The next chapter might be a smut chap. Yep, I totally jinxed myself. You can skip that chapter if you're uncomfortable or you could just suffer my poor writing in smut cuz this is the first time I'm writing it)
"I smelled it and it's suffocating but at the same time, it felt pleasurable. I don't know why I felt that way" Crocodile grumbled.
It took you a moment to realize what he was talking about and you quickly tried to get up but were stopped by his grip on your shoulder.
"It seems you know something that I don't so you better tell me what this fucking smell is or . . ." he placed his cold golden hook near your neck while beads of sweat were dripping down on your forehead.
"Since you're already in this state, I guess I have no choice . . .While I may have parts of the characteristics of a Mako Shark, I also somehow inherited their habits. Their hormones were combined with my human hormones so I could only get this kind of thing once every year. At first, it only attracted male sharks so I could avoid them on land but over the years, the pheromones slowly evolved and grew stronger so now it's attracting both male sharks and humans which is why I always locked myself in my room or house until the mating season's over" you groaned as you explained this embarrassing but important information to your fellow Shichibukai.
"I'm sorry for not telling you but I didn't think it would happen today so for the sake of the both of us, I will have to leave now and lock myself in the room" You tried to get up but Crocodile's grip tightened. You looked up to see beads of sweat dripping down on his forehead and the cigar almost fell out of his mouth, most likely trying to not give in to the pleasure but it seemed he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"You're not going anywhere, little shark. Now that it has come to this, I'm not letting you go" he groaned and then smirked. "It's your fault that you got us into this mess so now you have to pay the price" You could see in his eyes that it was filled with lust.
You clicked your tongue and grumbled in annoyance. I know he's trying to get me to his pants but now's not the time to resist because in truth . . .
I wanted to see what he was capable of and it's not like this is the first time I fucked someone.
