With the clothing situation now taken care of (whoever pissed Seth off that week did the laundry) the next issue was food.

This was solved by drawing lots and setting the losers fishing.

Things settled down once they passed the Calm Belt. Mostly because their supplies had more than whatever they could catch.

Conjured food does not a meal make.

Of course the daily issue of food supply wasn't nearly as interesting as what happened when Seth finally ran into the infamous crew of Red Hair Shanks...

Shanks and his crew took one look at the boat that had docked on the island they tended to use and immediately dismissed them as Marines.

No sane Marine would take a ship that shallow into open sea. It would be complete suicide.

However the look of the black haired female did make him perk up a bit. From the way she swore at the older albino and the twin blond boys, she wasn't a prude. And some of those curses he stored for later use.

He grinned and walked up to them.

"Hello!"

She gave him an odd look before she went back to chewing out the trio.

Shanks frowned. Most people in this sea would recognize him on sight. And very few people came here once it became known that Shanks liked to crash here.

He suddenly took notice of a kid, barely five feet tall, walk up to him.

"Please tell me there are some sort of fruit or vegetables on this island," he asked. Shanks nodded carefully.

"Thank god. Another night of Sea King and we might have had to resort to cannibalism," the kid said in relief. He gave the girl a thumbs up, and the rest cheered.

"How long were you at sea?"

"Two long months. I thought we had enough food but we miscalculated. The booze ran out three weeks in," said the black haired beauty sourly. (Seth)

Shanks burst out laughing. That pout of hers was really cute!

"How many on your crew?" asked Shanks.

"Depends on how much one of the idiots aboard pisses me off. I've kicked them off the ship so many times he's learned how to avoid Sea Kings!" said Seth.

Shanks laughed even harder! This was his kind of girl!

"A round of cheers to new friends in unlikely places!" said Shanks, holding up a bottle of rum. The crew cheered and began to chug.

Shanks was astounded at the rate this girl could drink. Not to mention her crew!

"A toast to the crew of Red-Haired Shanks!" she called out.

The crew laughed and tossed back another.

"To the sea!" called out Bakura.

It didn't take long for them to run out of things to toast, but that didn't matter because by that point they were having a real party anyway. Yugi had a ton of fun learning things from Yasopp, Shanks' sniper.

"So where did you get your ship?" asked Shanks.

"Stole it. What does a five-year-old prince need with a ship anyway?" snorted Seth.

Shanks laughed harder. As the two talked, they didn't notice their watchers.

Bakura approached Seth later on.

"You do realize he was flirting with you, right?"

"You do realize I could care less?" said Seth.

"Oh yeah, your the only one of us who isn't with someone. I guess even you need to get a little loose occasionally," said Yugi.

"There's nothing 'loose' about me!" cackled Seth. Bakura cackled with him.

Shanks couldn't help the feeling he had seen the white haired kids before. It wasn't until he went into the room with all the bounties that their faces clicked.

Staring back at him were the faces of 'Thief King' Akefia, his younger brother 'Mystic Eyes' Ryou, and the Logia twins Marik and Malik (one had the metal-metal fruit and the other had the odd mind-mind fruit. No one really knew what they actually did).

Naturally Shanks was irritated, because the girl Seth had claimed they weren't pirates. And last he checked, the group had a much better ship.

So he brought it up when he ran into them.

"WHAT?! That's not us!" she exclaimed.

"Let me see that poster..." said Bakura.

It only took him one second to see a flaw in it.

"Whoever this 'Thief King' is, he doesn't have my distinct scar. And any decent doctor would be able to tell you that this scar is too old to be recently healed," said Bakura flatly.

"Now that you mention it..." said Shanks. He hadn't even thought of that.

"Besides, while Ryou here has a talent at divination, he doesn't have any mystic eyes like the bounty claims. Not to mention neither of those two bone heads have any devil fruit powers," said Seth.

"But why do you look so much like them?" asked Shanks.

"Alternate universe. Where we come from, there are four oceans and seven seas. And the world has seven continents, not a large string of islands. Not to mention Devil Fruits don't exist. Though if there are alternate versions of Bakura, Ryou and the idiots running around, I would hate to meet my double..." said Seth.

"Really? Because you look damn familiar too," said Shanks.

Seth reached into her pouch and brings out a piece of laminated plastic. Further inspection reveals it to be a pilot's license, complete with picture.

"Seen anyone who looks like this?"

Shanks pales.

"Captain Potter, head of a third of the Marines. That kid's got a screw loose if you ask me. He has this thing about saving people even if the task itself is suicidal," said Shanks.

Seth face palmed.

"Dear Bast, anything but those damn Marines. Biggest bunch of hypocrites in the world," she muttered.

Shanks grinned.

"I'll drink to that!"

The next morning found Seth and Shanks in the same bed, with everyone drunk around them. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened, as neither of them had any clothes on.

Shanks figured that since she wasn't trying to kill him for breaking her cherry, that she wasn't that pissed about it. Later he found out that she could care less either way. He was just glad she wasn't clingy, like some of the other girls he had relations with.

Since their tiny ship wasn't in any shape to sail to Water Seven, Shanks offered to give them a lift there. In exchange, they shared information and even some tricks.

It surprised everyone to learn Shanks had natural magic much like Seth did, though most people in this world called it 'Haki'. Seth took great pleasure in teaching Shanks and his crew how to use it in exchange for letting them sail on their ship.

"Welcome to Water Seven!" grinned Shanks. The ship did need a few minor repairs, but since Seth had already agreed to pay for it and the magic lessons in exchange for the lift, he didn't mind.

Plus there was the fact that Seth seemed to know what was going to happen in the near future...though why she wanted to know about Crocodile and Ace, he had no idea.

The look in her eyes when he mentioned Luffy didn't even have a proper bounty yet could only be described as predatory. Since she mentioned she merely wanted to prank the kid, he pretended not to see it.

"Eh? You want a ship that can sail the Grand Line and over Reverse Mountain? That's gonna cost a lot girlie," said Paulie.

"How much, and can we deduct the cost of selling our original sailing vessel?"

"Where is it?"

"Dock four," said Bakura.

The long nose surveyor ran off the buildings and came back ten minutes later.

"It's an old style ship in very good condition, minus some cosmetic damages. The ship itself has actual gold enamel and is very...expensive, I suppose I should say. All in all, it looks like some noble's pleasure cruise vessel rather than a proper ship," he said Kaku.

"It should be, we swiped it from some brat who thought he knew what sailing meant. From what I heard he didn't even know the original ship got stolen," snorted Seth.

"He gonna come looking for it?" asked Paulie.

"Not a chance. He's probably forgotten all about it, and no one saw us steal it in the first place. So, are we going to negotiate or what?" asked Seth.

"I'll take you to Iceburg...he'll have Kalifa give you an estimate, depending on the ship you want," said Paulie.

"150,000,000 berries. Just for the ship. And that's not including the amount that will have to go into food among other things," said Bakura wincing.

"Yes, but for that we get quality work and later on we'll have it turned into smaller ships once the Straw Hats get a proper ship instead of the Going Merry," said Seth.

"Besides, at least this way we can actually store more food and not live off whatever fish we catch," said Yugi. All of them winced...they had enough of fish to last them a few months until they ran into Shanks and his crew.

At least Seth convinced them that Bakura, Ryou and the idiot twins weren't the same people on the wanted posters relatively easy.

(She threw them over board, and since the idiot twins didn't sink like stones it had convinced Shanks and his crew.)

Seeing the eyes of the Franky Family (known to moonlight as Bounty Hunters) Seth did the first thing that came to mind. She kicked the twins into the water where they came up cursing her blue. She grinned and nodded towards the ones trying to sneak up on them.

The Franky family was not known for it's intelligence, but even they knew Devil Fruit users couldn't swim. They passed them on without any incident. A month later, they set off on their new ship, which they named the Shadow Spirit.

Originally they wanted to name it Desert Shadow, but apparently their alternate universe selves had already claimed that name.

Now they could properly set off on an adventure. Since they never liked the boat to begin with, Seth was glad to be rid of it.

Even when they left this world, Seth would keep the ship in the same storage as the one they stole from the young Atem. It wouldn't be for many years that he heard about them stealing one of his boats.

"Ugh...I don't feel so good," said Seth. She never got sick, even when they were on Shanks' ship.

"You alright Seth? You've been looking a little off for a few weeks now," said Yugi.

Luna gave Seth one of her mysterious smiles as she cast a small spell on the 'girl'.

"Well I have good news and bad news," said Luna.

"What's the bad?" asked Seth.

"You're banned from liquor for the foreseeable future," said Luna flatly.

Seth paled.

"And the good?"

"You're pregnant."

Seth fainted.

Three hours later, when she woke up, she started to curse the air blue...but none of it was directed at Shanks.

"DAMN THAT HAG! WHY IN THE NAME OF BAST DID SHE HAVE TO MAKE ME FEMALE?!" screamed Seth.

Three washpans slammed onto her head and knocked her out again.

Later they would have to hex her to shut her up, lest she incur the wrath of the Demon (as they had started to call her) again. Bast was too busy laughing to help Seth in this predicament.

Unfortunately for Seth, Luna refused to help her in her new...condition...besides giving her nutrients. According to Luna, accelerating the growth of the infant before the critical period had past was too dangerous. (And by that she meant Seth had to wait a few months to insure the child wasn't a stillborn.)

In order to make the rest of them suffer, she hid the liquor from the crew.

So they were stuck drinking tea, juice, and soda, among other things. Finally they made it to an unmarked island filled with fruit.

"Right, now that we have a spot to stop at, I have news for you all."

"You're giving us back our booze?" said Bakura.

"No. Not unless you lot manage to get what I'm about to show you done correctly," said Seth. She looked very smug.

"What did you steal?" grinned Bakura. He knew that look. It was the one they often wore when they pulled off a great theft.

"You all remember that long nose, the secretary and the guy with the bird back at Water Seven? They're all spies for a group called CP9, and I just swiped their techniques without them knowing," said Seth smugly.

"This isn't like that Tai-Chi crap you've been doing out of boredom is it?" asked Bakura.

"Nope, much worse. There are only six moves, and each of them will make you drool at the potential. Plus it will royally piss off the World Government when they learn of our powers," smirked Seth.

"Well, let's get to it, shall we?" grinned Marik coldly.

Three months later...

After several grueling months, three near deaths at the hand of a hormonal Seth (who was finally cleared to accelerate the gestation period by Luna) and many mistakes, the group boarded their ship again. Though it had been a total nuisance to hide the damn thing from other pirates.

As it stood, only Seth had complete mastery of all Six powers, though that was because she was the one who stole the memories to begin with. Bakura was next, and was on his way to mastering the last power, while Ryou, Marik, Malik, and Yugi all had five. Luna had four, but she was currently training as a healer since it quickly became clear they needed one badly, especially with Seth in that condition.

As it stood, Seth wasn't the only one waiting for this kid to come out. Everyone on the crew couldn't wait to meet the runt, especially since it meant the return of booze on the ship.

Too bad Seth would still be banned from it, since the condition of returning to his original state was that he had to meet Luffy in Alabasta, and the idiot captain wasn't even ON the Grand Line at this point.

And Luna said that he would have to...ugh...breast feed the brat until it was old enough for goat's milk.

They reached an island chain made of ten small islands that were only connected once every ten years when Seth started convulsing. Luna was quick to check on her condition when she paled.

Seth jumped into the Shadow Realm and didn't return for nearly an entire day. When she came out, she had something in her arms.

Whatever it was, it was squalling like nobodies business.

"Everyone, meet the newest addition to the crew," said Seth snarkily. Childbirth was a pain and she swore never to go through that twice!

"What's the kid's name?" asked Ryou.

"I have no idea what to name a girl," replied Seth.

"Umi," said Yugi. Everyone stared at him.

"You have a better idea?" said Yugi defensively.

"Umi it is," said Seth.

"What about her last name?" said Malik. Surprisingly, both of the 'twins' had a soft spot for kids. Even at his most insane, Malik never harmed a child. Mokuba had actually been an accident, and the only reason Malik wasn't upset about almost harming a kid was because the boy in question was more of a teen than child.

"She can pick her own last name for all I care. How many did I have last time we checked?" asked Seth.

"Six, not including the name you took when our family adopted you into it," said Bakura.

"Like I said, she can pick when she's older. That being said, Luna, how old does she have to be before we can skip some of the more unpleasant aspects of child rearing?"

"You can't age her like you did in the womb until she's five years, and by then the worst should already be over. That said, either you place silencing charms in that room or we will," she said flatly.

Not a single person on that ship was a morning person.
