Goddess of Ice: Going for One Piece

"Usopp is an idiot~"

Nami rolled her eyes as Luffy and Usopp started fighting. She really wondered when these two idiots would understand what was going on. Well, considering that Luffy has only two brain cells, one responsible for looking for food while the other is responsible for eating food, there was a good chance that Luffy would never get it.

Shaking her head while sighing, Nami glanced at the Log Pose before slightly adjusting the ship's course. Seeing that the Merry was back on course, Nami lazily stretched her back.

However, someone suddenly grabbed her hand and lightly pushed her against the nearby wall. Simultaneously, a hand slapped the wall beside her head, preventing her from moving away.

"Now, now, Nami. I believe the two of us still have... commodities to exchange."

A shiver went through Nami's spine as her gaze landed on Yuna's face, which was currently twisted in a predatorial grin.

"Hahaha, cough O-Of course, I still remember. T-Two kissen on the cheek, right?"

"Hehe, it seems like I need to refresh your memory a little. It's one kiss on the cheek and one kiss. You never mentioned the location in your second offer~"

"Eh?"

Nami's face reddened instantly, but before she could say anything, Yuna chuckled in amusement and resumed.

"Now, you wouldn't go pack on your promise, would you?"

"B-But I meant it to be on the cheek."

"Hehe, that you should have said it properly~"

Flushing even harder, Nami gritted her teeth as a look of determination appeared on her face.

'It's just a little kiss! No big deal!'

"F-Fine, one kiss on the cheek, and one on the m-mouth."

"Hehe, there is another place I would love to kiss, but the mouth is fine for now~"

Initially, Nami was confused by that statement, but moments later, she realized what Yuna was talking about, resulting in a glare that looked rather cute due to Nami's still-red cheeks.

Following that, Nami hesitantly leaned forward and approached Yuna's right cheek with her mouth. She hesitated for a second before she placed the kiss.

"Mhh, that was the first one, and now let's get to the main event."

As soon as Yuna stopped speaking, she seized Nami's chin, forcing the duo's eyes to meet.

After quickly scanning Nami's facial expression and the look in her eyes, Yuna couldn't help but smile a little.

'Shame, confusion, and a bit of reluctance, but most importantly: curiosity. If she were utterly against this, I would just give her a kiss on the cheek and tease her a little, but that doesn't seem to be the case, so I'm going in~

Or, I could just kiss her on the cheek anyway and tease her in the aftermath for looking a little disappointed that I didn't go for the mouth. Nah, I'd rather go for the price directly!'

So, having made her decision, Yuna's mouth slowly moved towards Nami's. The longer she took, the more nervous Nami became. Seconds later, the duo's lips met, causing a shiver to go through Nami's spine.

'T-This actually feels kinda nice.'

Yuna briefly considered invading Nami's mouth with her tongue but decided not to do so because she felt that would make Nami's name recoil.

"OHHH!!! IT'S THE ALL BLUE!!!"

Around two seconds after the duo's lips met, Sanji entered the room, looking for Yuna to replace some of the ship's ice supplies. The moment he saw the two women kissing, blood shot out of his nose like a fountain before he simply fainted.

Ignoring Sanji, Yuna decided that she shouldn't push Nami too far and broke apart the kiss, leaving a dazed Nami behind, causing Yuna to smirk.

She gently touched Nami's cheek, getting her out of her daze, but the moment Nami saw Yuna smirking at her, her face flushed crimson all the way to her ears, and steam threatened to come out of them.

"Hehe, it seems like you enjoyed that quite a bit~ Want another~"

Somehow, Nami managed to get even more flustered hearing Yuna's teasing words; however, despite that, she managed to wiggle her way away from Yuna.

"I-I-I won't kiss you for free!"

The moment those words left her mouth, she turned around and left the scene like a startled hare.

'For free, huh? Hehe, that wasn't a no~'

[And just like that, another one falls.]

Minutes later, Sanji woke up, looking around in confusion.

'What am I doing? Why am I sleeping on the ground? RIGHT!!! I SAW IT!!! I SAW PARADISE!!!'

Quickly looking around, he found the room to be empty, so he quickly stood up and looked for Yuna and Nami. Reaching the Merry's deck, Sanji's gaze first landed on Yuna, who was chatting with Luffy about something, and next on Nami, who was currently checking the Log Pose.

Neither of them showed much of a reaction, confusing Sanji a little.

'Shouldn't they be at least a little flustered due to me seeing them together? I'm not so sure about Yuna, but Nami surely would show a reaction.'

Of course, what Sanji didn't know was that Nami didn't even notice him because she was too dazed by Yuna kissing her. So, she was fully unaware that Sanji witnessed her and Yuna kissing.

'What's going on? Was that just a dream? NO! THE ALL BLUE IS REAL!!!'

While Sanji was having a bit of a mental breakdown, Yuna faced one of the biggest challenges in her entire existence.

"Say, Luffy, what role do you think our next crewmate should fulfill?"

She tried to make Luffy think ahead.

Obviously, that was basically an impossible task, but Yuna was someone who liked to be challenged.

Anyway, Luffy had already answered that he wanted a musician, but Yuna had said that there was a much more important role that needed to be filled and suggested to him to think about it a little more.

So, Luffy was currently sitting cross-legged in his favorite spot, eyes closed, while steam was about to come out of his ears due to his two existing brain cells rubbing together fiercely, trying their best to come up with an answer.

Around a minute later, Luffy opened his eyes, wisdom shining through them as he made it look like he was just enlightened.

"A robot!"

Luffy's answer was filled with nothing but confidence, causing Yuna to sigh deeply.

"That's not a role, Luffy. I mean something like Nami being our navigator, Sanji being our cook, or Usopp being our coward."

"Oioi."

"Just kidding, Usopp."

"Hehe, in that case, I wonder what your role is, Yuna~"

Hearing Nami's playful question, indirectly implying that Yuna was jobless, a perverted smile on Yuna's face.

"Hehe, I'm the crew's pervert!"

Making that statement, Yuna briefly felt someone in the distance taking a pose while saying something along the lines of "AU! THAT'S MY JOB!" but she was sure that was just her imagination.

"That's right! Yuna is our pervert!"

This statement was made by Luffy, clearly having no idea what that word meant, but Yuna decided to leave the explanation for later. She already had a monumental task in front of her, and she didn't want an even harder quest of explaining sex to Luffy added to the pile. She liked a challenge, but she wasn't a masochist.

"Anyway, Luffy, what do you think?"

Another five minutes passed, in which Luffy requested Sanji to give him some meat to replenish the energy he had used thinking twice. However, yet again, Luffy was enlightened as he came up with an answer.

"A ninja! WE NEED A NINJA, SHISHISHI!!!"

Yet again, Yuna facepalmed while ignoring Usopp, who was nodding his head in agreement.

"Sigh What are you talking about? Don't you already have a ninja on your crew?"

"Mhh? I do?"

Seeing the confusion in Luffy's eyes, Yuna realized that although she had told the crew a little about her two previous lives, she never went into much detail.

"Yup, in my second life, I was born in a Ninja village called Konohagakure, where, in my later days, I became the matriarch of the Uzumaki clan, the most powerful ninja clan in the world."

The moment Yuna mentioned being a ninja in her past life, silence reigned over the deck as every male on the ship looked at her with stars in their eyes. Surprisingly, even Zoro had that kind of facial expression, although he was more subtle than the others.

"SO COOOOOOL!!!"

"CAN YOU DO JUTSU!?"

"I want to see a shadow clone."

"IF YOU ARE A NINJA, WHY DON'T YOU END YOUR SENTENCES WITH NIN~ NIN~"

Suddenly, a barrage of questions was directed at her from Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp in that order, causing Yuna's smile to stiffen as she raised her arms to pacify the crowd.

"Well, first of all, Ninja say 'you know' and not Nin~ nin~"

"""""You know?""""

"Cough

 Forget about that one. Anyway, there is no chakra in this world, which I would need to perform jutsu, limiting me quite a bit, but I can still show you a few tricks."

"OHHH!!! LET'S GOOO!!!"

Hearing Luffy yelling with enthusiasm, Yuna nodded her head as her gaze landed on Usopp.

"Please prepare a few targets and spread them all over a deck. If I make a show of my skills, I might as well show off."

Usopp, eyes beaming with motivation, instantly got up, got a few pieces of wood, and painted targets on them before spreading them all over the deck.

Yuna quickly memorized the position of every target, and then she calculated how exactly she was going to hit them.

'Mhh, it's been a while since I pulled this trick off, but I think I should be able to get it done well enough ~'

Following those thoughts, Yuna flicked her wrists, causing a few ice kunai and shuriken to appear in her hands, instantly rousing the crowd of boys, while Nami and Vivi only watched the show with empty eyes.

"Are you ready, boys!?"

"""OHHH!!!""""

As soon as she got the confirmation, Yuna smirked and ran toward the Merry's mast and, without hesitation, put her foot on it. Just like previously inside the Marine Base, she proceeded to freeze and unfreeze her foot from the mast, allowing her to run up on it.

When she reached the top of the mast, she jumped even higher and spun around in mid-air. While spinning, she tossed out kunai and shuriken continuously and seemingly at random, as none of them were headed at any targets.

However, suddenly, some kunai and shuriken collided in mid-air, changing each other's trajectory and sending them flying in different directions, where they yet again collided. Following that chain reaction, multiple loud "thuds" could be heard as every single target on the deck was precisely hit in the middle by either a kunai or a shuriken.

Despite her success, Yuna wasn't done yet. Her hands continued moving, but this time, instead of throwing weapons, she went through a complex array of hand seals, which she pretty much made up on the fly. Then, after taking a deep breath, she exhaled.

"[Ice Style: Ice Dragon Jutsu]"

[That's a surprisingly short name.]

'It's just a fake technique, after all.'

Anyway, Yuna spat out a long Chinese dragon entirely made of ice, which flew underneath her which allowed her to land on its head. Ending the demonstration, she stood ramrod straight, with her hands making a ram seal.

Surprisingly, there was no tumult after her demonstration. She didn't expect Nami, Vivi, or Zoro to make much noise, but the other three surely would, right?

However, glancing at the trio, Yuna quickly realized what was going on. Luffy and Usopp stood next to each other, their eyes shining brighter than the sun, while tears and mucus constantly flowed down their faces. Frankly, they were too impressed to react.

Next to them stood Sanji, blood slowly trickling out of his nose, with his eyes turned into hearts. However, he got turned into stone for some reason.

Zoro, on the other hand, had a wide grin on his face, clearly satisfied with the show, while even Nami and Vivi showed an impressed expression. Although they didn't care about all the ninja business, they were simply impressed by Yuna's skillful display.

Suddenly, Luffy fell to his knees with a sad expression on his face, surprising Yuna a little.

"What a failure! There was a ninja on my ship all this time, and I didn't invite her into my crew."

Seeing Luffy in a weird state of depression, Yuna raised her eyebrow before chuckling in amusement.

"But I'm part of your crew, so isn't it fine?"

"It's not! You asked to join, but I failed to notice a ninja sailing on my ship and did not invite the ninja to my crew!"

'So basically, he is sad that he didn't notice that I'm a ninja and didn't invite me to the crew? What a weird mindset, but I can work with that.'

"I see; in that case, I'm leaving the crew."

""""WHAT!?""""

Naturally, everyone exclaimed in surprise at that sudden declaration, not understanding what was going on at all. Seeing those reactions, Yuna couldn't help but smile a little at how attached some people on this ship were already to her presence.

"That's right, I'm no longer part of the crew, so what will you do now, Luffy?"

Luffy's instincts told him that things weren't as simple, so he started thinking hard about what Yuna's actions might mean. And suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, the two brain cells in Luffy's head were, for a mere split second of a split second, not thinking about meat, allowing Luffy to understand what Yuna was aiming for.

"YUNA!!! JOIN MY CREW!!!"

"Hehe, sure~"

"YOSH!!! TIME FOR A BANQUET!!!"

While everyone else was dumbfounded due to the interaction they had just watched, Yuna couldn't help but smile a little.

'Well, that was pretty much pointless, but since it makes him happy, it's fine. No need to leave a kind soul like Luffy all depressed.'

[Plus, you got him to use his brain.]

'Indeed, the first step in this impossible task is done!'

"LAND AHEAD!!!"

During Yuna's brief conversation with her inner fox, Nami suddenly exclaimed that she noticed a new island ahead, drawing everyone's attention.

'Oh? What a massive jungle! Let's see what we find this time~'

[Trouble, probably.]

'Oh yeah, there is no doubt about that; it's just a question of what kind of trouble awaits us.'
