"Stubborn girl!" Dr. Nako scolded. "I told you that you need to stay in bed and rest!"

"I'm fine, Dr. Nako," Bellemere assured. "Besides, Roci's brother wants me and the girls to come over to their ship for lunch. I'm going to punch that bastard in the face for abandoning Roci all those years ago,"

Dr. Nako shook his head. "One day you're gonna get yourself killed,"

On the El Flamenco, Bellemere indeed punched Doflamingo in the face. Immediately, the rest of the Donquixote Pirates were pissed and prepared to attack her. Corazon got ready to defend his girlfriend and the kids were ready to protect their mother. "Fufufu, no need for violence here," Doflamingo said. "Your girlfriend has guts, Corazon,"

"Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm weak!" Bellemere claimed. "And that was for leaving Roci all alone when he was a kid! What kind of older brother does that!?"

As everyone settled down and took a seat, lunch began. "So, Bellemere was it?" Doflamingo asked. "Any stories about you and Roci in Marineford? I'm interested in the embarrassing ones,"

"Doffy!" Corazon yelled.

Speedy crawled out of Corazon's pocket. "Ooh! Bellemere, let's tell them about the time Roci started a Den-Den Mushi revolution!"

The entire crew stared at Corazon. "You started a Den-Den Mushi revolution!?"

Prince crawled onto the table. "Speedy, what idiotic thing did you take part in?"

"It wasn't idiotic!" Speedy claimed. "It was justice for all of snailkind! Justice I tell you! JUSTICE!"

"Please stop saying 'justice' before it summons Sakazuki or his snail," Corazon mumbled.

"So what's this about a Den-Den Mushi revolution?" Doflamingo asked.

At ages eight and nine, Rocinante and Bellemere were both chore boys. For the first time, they were going to feed the Den-Den Mushi. They each carried two buckets of lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and tomatoes. Rocinante's buckets had covers so that the contents wouldn't spill out whenever he tripped.

Bellemere opened the door to the place where the snails were kept. Both of the kids were shocked at how small the place was. All of the snails were cramped into one large glass container. There was hardly any place for the Den-Den Mushi to move! The snails' heads looked up to the two kids. "Food!"

As the two began to spread the food around the place, Rocinante asked, "Isn't it too tight for you guys in there?"

"Uh-huh," One of the smaller baby Den-Den Mushi climbed onto the glass wall. "But we can't do anything about it,"

"Why not?" Bellemere asked.

"We're afraid of talking to Volcano,"

"If all Den-Den Mushi band together, we can overpower Volcano!" Rocinante suggested before pausing. "Who's Volcano?"

"Bakazuki's snail," Bellemere informed. "He's probably as bad as Bakazuki himself,"

"You all should go on strike until they give you guys suitable living conditions!" Rocinante said.

The small Den-Den Mushi agreed. "Let's start a revolution! Don't serve those bastard humans! We have our own free will!"

"Roci," Bellemere sighed. "What the hell did you do?"

"This is justice!" Rocinante claimed. "It's unfair that these Den-Den Mushi work hard but have to live in these conditions!"

Doflamingo was snickering. "I never thought that my baby brother of all people would have the guts to start a revolution against the Marines,"

"Neither did I," Bellemere agreed. "I thought he was a weakling since he always tripped over his own two feet,"

"There's more!" Speedy continued.

All of Marineford was thoroughly confused as to why they weren't able to use any Den-Den Mushi. They were all slithering away. If they were forced to stay put, then they refused to comply to the Marines' commands. Instead of connecting to the desired destination, they connected to random places. There were only a few Den-Den Mushi that didn't try to rebel.

"Prayus," Sengoku asked his Den-Den Mushi. "What is going on?"

"It's a Den-Den Revolution sir," Prayus answered. "Rocinante and Bellemere are responsible. Also, Charger and Garp are inside the food supply storage again,"

"We need to deal with Garp and Charger first," Sengoku stood up. "Prayus, can you deal with the revolution?"

"Yes sir," The snail nodded. "Just worry about headquarters still having food left,"

Prayus made his way to where all the Den-Den Mushi had gathered. "Rocinante, Bellemere, why did you start a revolution?"

"Do you know how cramped the tank that the Den-Den are kept in is?" Rocinante pointed out.

"I do not understand," Prayus tilted his head in confusion. "Each Den-Den Mushi has their own tank and at most there are only three sharing a tank,"

"Lies!" The Den-Den Mushi on Rocinante's shoulder, Speedy, shouted. "We were all kept in a single tank, shell to shell!"

"That's how things should be kept," Volcano approached the revolution. "So get back into the damn tank!"

"Volcano!" Prayus scolded.

"If these weaklings can't handle being in a tight space then they aren't worthy of being Marine Den-Den Mushi!" Volcano argued.

Sakazuki was behind Volcano and glared down at Rocinante. "Are you the brat that started this stupid revolution?"

Rocinante paled and started to back away, only to end up falling backwards and hitting a mop which sent a bucket of dirty water at Sakazuki, soaking the rear admiral.

"After that Rocinante had to run for his life," Speedy finished. "He only managed to escape because he bought time by accidentally causing a shelf to collapse on Bakazuki. Volcano got in trouble for assisting Bakazuki,"

"Roci also caused a lot more damage that Bakazuki did, and Bakazuki was using his Magma-Magma Fruit!" Bellemere added.


I don't really have any more ideas for Parenthood. Suggestions are always welcomed.
I kinda forgot about April Fool's Day so I might make a future chapter celebrating that even though the holiday will be over.
