Prompt: What if Rob Lucci joined the Straw Hats after Enies Lobby?

Enies Lobby was, in the eyes of the World Government, a certified shit-show.

Not only had the Straw Hat Pirates stormed a bastion of justice, but they had swept through like Aqua Laguna itself, wiping out any resistance that came to halt their progress, succeeded in retrieving Nico Robin and Franky and left the island without a single loss to their own forces.

In fact…

“Monkey D Luffy, WHAT THE FUCK!?!”

Everyone froze when the door slammed open, revealing a furious, sleep-ruffled Hikari to the chaos that was the Thousand Sunny’s main deck.

Sanji was caught with a raised leg, ready to kick Franky over the railing after his flamethrower attack had nearly singed Nami’s tangerine trees, and Chopper was peeking out from around Robin, who was sitting back from her book with an enigmatic smile, Lassoo hidden under her chair.

Opposite them was Gina, her guitar held up like an ax in warning while Usopp cowering behind her, Kabuto loaded, and Nami went silent mid-curse, Perfect Clima-Tact in hand and with Sora safely tucked behind her.

And in the center of this mess, Luffy was frozen with a rubbery arm wrapped around a leopard-form Lucci’s neck, other arm cocked back and caught by a clever tail, and Zoro went very still, Wado and Yubashiri crossed to hold back the Zoan’s claws, though there was no pressure being applied.

“What part of ‘don’t spar on the main deck’ did you three not understand?!” Hikari seethed, and Lucci yelped when she grabbed a feline ear to yank all three down to her level.

“Ow! Sorry! Sorry!”

“We forgot!” Luffy squeaked, trying to tumble away from the angry key-holder and failing thanks to the Zoan’s tail.

“Shit, woman-” Zoro choked out when a hand fisted into his shirt at the collar.

“What did I say I would do if you woke me up?” Hikari growled, pulling all three towards the railing while claws gouging tracks in the wood that had Franky protesting.

“Wait!”

“We didn’t mean to, Kari!”

“Don’t you dare-”

There was a distinct yowl mixed with their screams as Luffy, Lucci and Zoro were neatly keelhauled into the ocean.

The crew watched quietly as she stormed back inside, muttering under her breath in sleep-deprived irritation every step of the way.

“Can’t fucking believe this shit, every adult on this fucking ship is a child…”

…

“HELP!”

“SHIT!”

“SANJI, GET IN THERE!”
