43 Darling... We're going to be parents soon~

A few weeks later

Hiro and Tom finished the ship and looked at it from outside. Hiro wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, Tom patted his shoulder and said "Good job, kid! You're not too bad!" Hiro chuckled and replied "Your not too bad yourself, Old man. Heheh" Tom laughed and said "We need a name.."

Hiro said immediately "Oro Jackson?" Tom clicked his tongue and said "Perfect." he patted the ship and said "You'll be the Oro Jackson from now on." Hiro could've sworn he heard a buzzing noise from the Oro Jackson.

He said to Tom "Could it be that it has a Klabautermann?" Tom looked shocked and said "No, no, no. That's impossible." Hiro scratched his neck and said "Yeah... For sure..." Tom said "You've seen one?!" Hiro coughed at the glare from Zerotwo and replied "In the future... Anyway, we should get the rest?"

Tom nodded and the duo left to go get the rest of the crew.

Roger was sleeping on top of Strelizia and the rest were looking at the robot. Hiro and Tom walked over, Zerotwo was holding Hiro's hand and walking slowly. Hiro looked at her with a warm smile and she smiled slightly, rubbing her big belly with a painful expression.

He rested his hand on her stomach and felt a kick, he jumped and said "AH!" she giggled and said "Very wild." he said "You can say that again..." she held his arm and said softly "Darling... We're going to be parents soon." Hiro shivered from head to toe and said "I know... I almost can't believe it."

She smiled and hugged his arm tighter, he smiled warmly and kissed her head as they looked at the group, who was excited for the new ship. Hiro grinned and said "Hmph! Bunch of newbies! I made the ship too!" Rayleigh chopped his head saying "Yeah, yeah, bet you did."

Roger jumped down from the head of Strelizia and said "Congrats, brat! You're the new shipwright!" Hiro froze and said "Wait! Wh-" Rayleigh laughed and said "Yeah! Boys! We got a shipwright!" the crew cheered and laughed, as Hiro turned green, waving his hands quickly saying "Wait! Wait! No, no, no!"

Shanks patted his shoulder and said "Thanks, Pervy Oni!" Hiro shouted "Fuck you!" Shanks and the rest laughed, going back to the ship. Hiro was listless and Zerotwo smiled saying "I think you're cute~" he sighed and said "At least..." she laughed and Hiro took Strelizia back before going to the ship.

He introduced the Oro Jackson with Tom and showed everyone around, explaining how everything worked. They didn't understand at all actually, but Hiro didn't care and showed them anyway. He even installed an intercom and TVs in all the rooms with a recording room for announcements.

The crew was awed and Hiro was proud.

Roger invited Tom to join the crew but was refused as Tom said "I like staying here, plus he's probably just as good as me now." Hiro was stunned and pointed at himself saying "Hey... Teach, are you joking? I don't even come close."

Tom laughed and said "Shut up, kid. We've been working on this ship together for a while now, I have eyes. You think I don't see your movements? Stop being humble." Hiro blushed as everybody looked at him, he scratched his neck but his hand was slapped away. He groaned and said "Jeez... What is this?"

Zerotwo pursed her lips into a cute smile and the rest of the crew grinned. Hiro bowed saying "Thank you, Teacher!" Tom chuckled and patted his head saying "No problem, kiddo." Roger laughed and slapped Hiro into the deck saying "Great! HAHAH!"

Tom left and the rest of the crew celebrated the new ship before leaving Water 7.

Hiro continued training with the 3 and be himself, while occasionally checking around the ship. This time he knew where the baths were. Roger kept fucking around with the Intercom system and the TVs, broadcasting himself and laughing.

The crew shook their heads and they arrived at Sabaody.

They got off the ship and Hiro sneered at the island itself. The crew walked around, looking at everything, Hiro and Zerotwo walked around together, going to the amusement park and walking in the groves.

Zerotwo was coming along in her pregnancy, any day now she would give birth, Hiro was extremely excited as he would soon be a father. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he really wanted it to be sooner rather than later.

But no matter how much he wanted it, Zerotwo couldn't just pop a baby out when she wanted. Her breasts swelled and her belly was big, she was in constant pain as the baby was kicking her from the inside frequently.

Hiro treated her amazingly and did everything she asked for, he sometimes just ditched training and stayed with her the entire time. She even had trouble walking, but she had a constant smile on her face, excited beyond belief.

Hiro was also excited, they walked down the street before hearing a shout "Hey! Stop!" the voice was annoying and disgusting, Hiro knew exactly what it was and ignored it, not wanting to spill blood and ruin his good mood.

The man with a bubble helmet shouted angrily "Oi! Are you fucking deaf!? I said stop! You, go grab them and bring that woman to me!" the marine next to him said "Sir?" the man said "Are you deaf too!?" as he pointed at gun to the marine's head.

Hiro ignored them but he was getting really angry. Zerotwo hummed and they walked away, ignoring the man and the marine, who followed them.

Hiro and Zerotwo walked to the rest of the crew with the man, his slaves, and a group of marines chasing them from behind. Hiro grinded his teeth and spat "Captain. Can I kill this waste of life?" Roger looked over and said "World noble?"

The man in the bubbled suit said "Hand over the woman with the horns, I'm in need of a sex slave." The entire crew became ice cold and Hiro unleashed endless killing intent along with Conqueror's Haki.

He clenched his fist and said "Captain." Roger frowned and said "You don't need permission." Hiro turned around and ice spread from his feet, freezing everyone except for their heads. He walked forward and tapped the bubble on the World Nobel's head, shattering it as he said "You know what the worst way to die is?"

A bubble of water appeared in the air and submerged the World noble's entire head, slowly drowning him. The man said "Stop! You'll be wanted by the Admirals!" Hiro spun out Sun into the Boomstick and blew the marine that just talked's head off.

He looked at the rest and said "Anybody else?" the marines were petrified and the World Noble was drowning, Hiro said "Good." Sun turned into Muramasa and he slashed out, cutting off all the Marines' heads.

He looked at the slaves and froze their collars into ice crystals, freeing them.

He looked at the World Nobel and took the water bubble away, the man gasped for air and said "You dare to-" the water bubble went back and started drowning him again. The crew shivered and Rayleigh said "Kid, kill him already."

Hiro hooked his finger and the water was forced into the world noble's mouth, going into his skull and freezing his brain from the inside out, turning it to mush before red, white, and pink goop gushed from the World Noble's nose.

Buggy said "He! He smashed his brains from the inside!?" the crew sucked in a cold breath of air and Hiro grinded his teeth before smashing the world noble over and over again with Sun in staff form.

He was breathing heavily and glaring at the meat paste. Rayleigh dragged him away and sighed, the crew left after that display of violence. Hiro was still mad and Rayleigh said "What are you going to do? Kill all the World Nobles?" Hiro seethed "If I could, I would." Rayleigh shook his head and Zerotwo squeezed Hiro's hand saying "Hey, calm down, okay?"

Hiro let out a breath and reached for his neck, she grabbed his hand and smiled. He sighed and they went to a bar, Hiro sat at the bar and ordered a drink, a woman served him saying "Hm? Blue Oni? Heard you killed a World Noble."

Hiro spat out his drink and said "Fuck, you know already? Hais... I wonder how strong Admirals are... You have intel on that? Shakuyaku?" Shakuyaku said in surprise "Oh? Oni-san knows me?" Hiro chuckled and drank silently, Zerotwo asked "Do you have any cola?"

Shakuyaku smiled and said "Sure, you look amazing by the way!" Zerotwo smiled sweetly and said "Any day now..." as she rubbed her belly, Shakuyaku smiled and replied "If it looks anything like you, congratulations." Zerotwo giggled and said "We can only hope."

Hiro was confused, where did these shots come from!? He was drinking peacefully here... Rayleigh chuckled on the side and Hiro felt his mouth twitch as he said "What are you looking at, 'Uncle'?" Rayleigh choked on his laugh and said badly "You want another beating!?"

Hiro sneered "From you!? Hah! I'd like to see it!" Rayleigh seethed and grabbed his collar, Shakuyaku cleared her throat and Rayleigh let go with a sheepish smile "Not in your bar, of course. Haha!"

Hiro coughed saying "Whipped!" Rayleigh turned green and Shakuyaku laughed, Zerotwo patted Hiro's thigh saying "What was that, Darling?" Hiro said "Hm? Nothing, Angel. I didn't say anything." she hummed sweetly "That's what I thought."

Hiro laughed dryly and sipped his drink, while Zerotwo giggled.
