"May I have some milk?" She purred shyly.
"Of course, my Lina sweetheart!", Sanji whistled and brought her a large, full glass with milk.
"May I get some milk too? Yohohoho!" Brook asked effusively.
"Get it yourself!" The blonde countered hard.
"Here," replied Robin, using her devil powers to bring the skeleton a glass of milk.
"Thank you, Robin! Long live the calcium! Yohohoho!", The musician said happily. "Come on, let's toast, Lina! Then you could show me your panties right away!"
"What's the shit?", Nami and Sanji shouted at the same time, while the orange-haired woman gave the skeleton a juicy head-butt and the boy gave him a powerful kick.
"It's really going through the bone, even though I'm a skeleton! Yohohoho!"
"The guy is killing me!" The navigator groaned nervously at the end.
"I'm also surprised that Lina doesn't mind at all," the archaeologist marveled while eyeing her new crew member.
Everyone had to get used to the sight of Lina. Gray cat ears peeked out through her shoulder-length, shimmering silver hair. She also had a gray cat's tail. The eyes, which were bright blue in the brightness so that even the sea could be jealous, turned slightly green in the night. But Lina had neither fur nor whiskers, nor did she meow or clean herself. The silver-haired cat girl preferred to wear dresses. At the moment she was wearing a longer, light blue dress, which brought out her eyes even more.
You'd think she was a cat person. Still, there was no devil fruit involved. She even liked the water. The silver-haired woman actually behaved like a cat sometimes.
Positive as well as negative.
"Lina? Are you going to play with us again?", Chopper and Luffy eyed the cat girl.
"Gladly!" She agreed, wagging her tail.
"Then we play cat and mouse!" Said Usopp gleefully.
"Nothing there!", Lina hissed and her tail stood up.
"Take it easy, Lina. You know, the long nose doesn't mean it like that!"
Her ears drooped in shame.
"Just look at what you've done,greenheads! You don't make a lady unhappy!", Sanji snapped at the swordsman and pulled a shark's face.
"Stop arguing!" Grumbled Franky, who was styling his blue hair.
Lina hung her ears a little and beamed at the black-haired woman with sad, yet hopeful eyes.
"Robin? How far are you with the book? Can you help me?" She purred.
Even the hardened archaeologist felt painful to put the little one off.
"Not very far yet. I just translated the legend.", She replied tiredly.
"What a shame.", The silver-haired woman lowered her ears again."Don't worry! Robin is the best, she'll make it, believe me!" The straw hat protested with his mouth full.
"Luffy, that was my meal!" Whined the long nose.
The captain stretched his arm dangerously long again.
"Stop that!", Lina hissed threateningly and slapped her long arm away with her tail.
"That hurts!" Pouted the straw hat.
"Be glad I didn't use my claws!" She warned him and opened her hand so that the claws could be seen clearly.
"I wish I could help you! But I don't have anything like that in any of my medicine books!" The moose regretted meekly.
"Against this, no medicine can help either!" The cat girl wailed.
"But some of them had no ears and stuff like that! Your mother didn't either, why didn't she tell you how to get rid of them?", Luffy asked naively.
Rum. Bang. Bang.
The straw hat was lying on the ground with quite a few bumps and next to him was the angry navigator who had her hands clenched into fists as a precaution.
"You stupid!Think aboutherfeelings!", the orange-haired woman snapped at Luffy.
The silver-haired woman's eyes stared into the air. After a while, those expressionless eyes took on a wet shape. With one jump she was with the green-haired man and sat on his lap. Lina always did that when she was injured. The cat girl literally crept into the swordsman's chest.
"Can't you both control each other? You can see that she's not doing well!" Zorro grumbled and stroked her head lightly.
"You know that her mother was murdered before she could tell the truth!" Robin whispered to her captain.
"Really?"
"You missed the guy! Don't you say you can't remember Gregorian?", The black-haired woman tried to help the straw hat on.
"Sure! That was the guy who only spread terror! He insulted Lina too!" Luffy scolded angrily, because he remembered again.
"Only the parents are allowed to pass it on to the next generation, because it's a kind of tradition," said the silver-haired woman and wiped her eyes dry. "We just want to be normal people so that others don't think we're monsters. On nearby islands, people even believe that the parts of a cat, that is, the tail and the ears, bring eternal life."
Actually she had already explained it to her comrades, but once again Luffy hadn't listened. Gregorian wanted to destroy Kitty Island to extend his power. But the straw hat gang was able to prevent this at the last second, unfortunately they could no longer save Sakura, the girl's mother. She died in the arms of her daughter and Lina became an orphan because her father was murdered by pirates 15 years ago.
Since then, Lina traveled with them and she had already become a real crew member.Not only was she cool in the black-haired man's eyes, but she also knew a thing or two about magic. According to legend, the goddess Bastet was also able to use spells.
Meanwhile, Zorro took off his shirt and wrung it dry. A small puddle had finally formed.
"I'm glad you don't wash cats!" He grumbled in exaggeration.
"Sorry!" She sniffed.
"It's okay. But you mustn't be so squeamish. After all, you're a pirate now!" Warned the green-haired man.
Lina nodded vigorously to agree with him.
"What does she like about theSchwerterheini?", Sanji asked himself, while he drew on his cigarette and pouted.
"Hey, Nico Robin! You said earlier that you could already decipher the legend. What does it contain?" Franky asked curiously after he had drunk his Coke.
"It's about the origins of the cat people," replied the archaeologist seriously. "According to legend, a cat goddess named Bastet was the ruler of this island, Kitty Island, and fell in love with a mortal, that is, a person. The man was also taken with her and the two started a family. Since then, all children have been with her These cat ears are born and have the ability to talk to cats. ", explained Robin.
"You can talk to cats? That's socool!" Beamed the straw hat and his eyes had turned into little stars.
"I don't think that's supposed to be our captain!" The orange-haired woman whined again.
"You should have thought about that earlier!" Instructed the gunner.
"I know!", Nami snapped at the long nose.
"We'll see what the future brings. I will in any case continue to translate the book. We'll help you!" Assured the devil girl.
"Sure! Robin is an expert, you can fully rely on her!" The swordsman confirmed with a grin.
"Thank you for wanting to help me!", The silver-haired woman said happily and her tail formed into a heart.
"Of course! I, your devoted servant Sanji, will find the cure for you so that you can finally fall into my arms!"
The hair on Lina's neck stood up and with one jump she landed back at Zorro.
"I'm scared!", She explained her reaction to the perplexed green-haired man.
"The wooden spoon just can't help it!" He confirmed with a sigh.
"What did you just give of yourself? Youhowler monkey?"
"Do you want something from me, Schnitzelklopfer[/i]?"
"Leave itjungle baby, otherwise I'll fillet you!"
"I would love to be there!" Hissed the swordsman.
"Stop arguing!" The cat girl intervened.
"Do you want to be exempt from Nami? She can do it with Sanji, but not with Zorro!", Lina grumbled.
"I just don't understand the girl!" Replied the navigator, shaking her head.
"She just devoured Zorro!", Usopp defended her.
"Sure, just because she met him first! If that idiot hadn't got lost again!", Nami growled.


'Shit, have the others got lost again? 'Zorro thought as he did his laps on Kitty Island.
Deep in thought, the green-haired man didn't even notice how he bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I didn't see you!" The swordsman apologized politely.
"Nothing happened!" Replied the young woman shyly in front of him.
She had shoulder length silver hair and he could see cat ears on her head. He also wondered why she wore a gray tail that could peek out despite the red dress she wore. But many residents wore cat ears and tails. Maybe that's a fashion phenomenon on this island.
"Can you tell me where I can find my crew members again? They seem to have lost their way!" Asked Zorro.
"You are a pirate ?!", she asked uncertainly with her big, blue eyes looking at him.
"How do you know this?"
"Because I know almost everyone on this island and you don't have cat ears either!" Explained the silver-haired cat girl.
"I see. My name is Zorro. What's your name?"
She hesitated. "Lina."

"5,273, 5,274, 5,275 ..." the green-haired man counted while lifting weights.
In a flash he only felt a small breeze scurry past him, which had a gray tail.
"Lina, what are you doing here?", Zorro replied, startled because he could have met her.
"Hide me!" Was the quick reply.
"Before Sanji?"
"No! It's Usop's turn to search!", She explained angrily.
"Oh. You play hide and seek again."
The silver-haired woman nodded excitedly.
"Yes, and he won't find me up here!"
"Don't be too early!" Warned the swordsman.
"Why?" She asked with her googly blue eyes.
"Because the microphone is on."
The door to the training room opened and Usopp's nose gave him away.
"I've found you! Now it's your turn!" Said the gunner happily.
"Och,nö!", The cat girl moaned and her eyes got wet.
"Come on, Lina! A 17 year old girl doesn't cry, does she?" Asked Zorro.
