      In the midst of a terrible storm, an unassuming eagle owl flew as best she could through the torrential sheets of rain, shaken by the thunder overhead and scared to death that she was going to get struck by lightning and fall into the raging sea beneath her. The wind blew her about, and she struggled to stay airborne and moving forward. Owls did not belong this far out at sea. She didn't know how much longer she could remain in flight; she was tired, hungry, hurt, and fighting winds stronger than she could manage.

     Katey had to get back to her sister as soon as possible. Loni was undoubtedly losing herself as the days that Katey was missing dragged on. Katey knew her sister; as strong as she was, she was also incredibly fragile when it came to her loved ones being taken away from her. She had to get back as soon as possible before Loni got herself into trouble looking for her. She desperately hoped Loni didn’t already go to Wano, which was behind Katey at this point. The stormy seas that surrounded the country would end sometime soon; she had to get out of this territory as soon as possible before someone noticed their recent prisoner, the one that ‘stole’ the Owl SMILE, was gone.

     Katey didn’t know where the Hoot Rat was. To fly over the expansive seas until she found one small ship would be stupid. She was flying to a different ship that was apparently nearby. Katey didn’t ask the white haired woman how she knew where it was, but looking back --- maybe she should have asked her more questions? Like how the heck a Beast pirate knows where the Red Hair pirates are? Was she a spy or something? Katey couldn’t even believe that THAT was a thought on her brain --- how Katey, a nobody from a small farm in East Blue, got intermixed with the likes of Beast pirates and was now flying to yet another Emperor’s ship was beyond her. This was far above her level. She should not be here. She didn’t belong in the New World at all. 

     The storm slowly vanished as Katey flew her way out, frantic and frightened and yet silent. Eventually, the seas evened out. Eventually, the sun appeared from behind clouds and was surrounded by blue sky. Eventually, she was out of Beast territory and goodness knows where on the open sea --- but she followed the exact direction that the white haired woman told her to go. Follow a bearing of two hundred and four degrees from this island. Use your eyesight, scan the horizon, look for a large pirate ship with a dragon on the front, a jolly roger with red stripes over one eye. I know it sounds unbelievable, but they will keep you safe until you can get to your sister. They’re pirates, and I know that scares you, but you have to trust me. You have to do this, you have no other choice.

     Her copper gaze scanned the horizon open blue as she soared overhead, slow flaps of her wings keeping her in the sky, and eventually she did see such a ship --- and she made a beeline for it, desperate for the apparent safety it would provide to her. Her sister would tell her she’s an idiot for trusting a Beast pirate who told her to go to yet another Emperor’s crew for “safety” but Katey had no other choice, no other options. Besides, the white haired woman was nice to her. A nice person would never send her into harm’s way! Katey trusted her!

     As she got closer... she saw the men and women about the decks, going about their day. Her heart started to race... These were pirates... So far, Katey hadn’t had the best experiences with pirates. They were usually violent, dangerous, and weren’t very nice to her. Her sister’s crew were pirates, sure, but they were her sister’s friends. It was different.

     Maybe... Maybe she should just pass it by. Keep flying. Try to find the Hoot Rat... No no, she couldn’t do that --- she would succumb to exhaustion before she found it and fall into the sea. The white haired woman seemed so genuine... She risked a lot to send her out here... unless this was a trap... No, no one would be that cruel. She had to trust her.

     Without any other option, Katey approached the ship, her talons reaching out to grab hold of a wooden railing. The strange sight of an owl landing on a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean dozens and dozens of miles from the nearest land only lasted a moment. She hopped off the railing and landed on the deck, transforming into her human body. 

     Her fair freckled skin was dirtied and she had a black eye, a split bottom lip, and her long fluffy blonde curls were just tangles. Her knee-length yellow day-dress tattered, distinctive sets of SLASHES across it, reminiscent of a particular set of sickle claws. The white haired woman had healed her broken bones and deep gashes in her body, but in haste to get her out of Wano, she hadn’t healed the little bumps and bruises, urging her to get out as quickly as possible. She was missing her sweater that she wore to stay warm, conceal her frail figure, and hide her bruises from her blood sickness. In short, Katey looked like Hell, worse than usual.

    She held her hands together, hiding her mouth as her round eyes filled with frightened tears. She was losing her nerve, now that she was here. This was a pirate ship. What was she doing here??? They were going to kill her; she was a stranger on their ship, uninvited!!

     Katey’s long wobbly legs buckled from under her and she hit her knees, backing up defensively until her back hit the railing behind her, and she drew her legs in and near curled into an upright ball to protect herself.

     “A-Are you the Red Hair pirates...?”  she squeaked out, voice trembling. “P-Please don’t hurt me...!”

     So this blog is now primarily a One Piece oc blog. Katey’s modern verse is still there, but is basically only there to continue prior interactions.

     New Rule:

     *** The One Piece verse, as her primary verse, is only open to other One Piece blogs or blogs with One Piece verses. I don’t do cross-overs, never have and never will. ***

     With this blog completely changing, I know that this isn’t what most of you signed up for when you followed. If you want to unfollow, you do what you gotta do, no hard feelings. I just really only have muse for the OP verse right now. : ).

     I may very well delete this blog tomorrow and start completely over so as to focus the aesthetics, tags, and everything on One Piece. Not sure yet. I ask you exercise patience with me if I do.

     Looks at the pirate ship she lives on.

     Looks at the pirate flag fluttering in the breeze.

    Looks at her pirate sister she follows around. 

       ... ... ... There’s no way the Navy would just assume that Katey’s a pirate, right?

x. tag drop.

     First tag is for her time in the Navy. Second tag is for her time AFTER she separated LEGALLY from the Navy. It was an amicable divorce. If you get it, you get it.

     Katey functions as the cook and as the look-out on her sister’s ship (but she’s not a part of the crew). She sits up in the owl’s nest nearly all day and night long keeping watch of 360 degrees about the ship with her extra sensitive eyesight, and comes down to cook during mealtimes. She is also somewhat nocturnal because of her SMILE and only sleeps a few hours a day, usually a quick nap in the morning and the afternoon.

@maljefe​ said:  Katey is the CMC to Loni's CO. Change my mind.

     The purpose of a CMC is to create, implement, direct, and manage command policies concerning morale, health and welfare, job satisfaction, and discipline. The purpose of a CO is to execute the overall strategic mission of the unit and is ultimately responsible for all that the unit does, both successes and failures. I think it’s safe to say that on the Hoot Rat, Katey is mostly concerned with making sure the crew members are happy, healthy, and well-fed, whereas Loni obviously takes on the role of the primary leader of the organization, making sure the Ferrum Strix pirates are doing what they should be doing as an organization and taking them where they need to go. CMCs also serve as the liaison between the enlisted forces and the wardroom/upper leadership; I don’t doubt that some crew members go to Katey with concerns that they are too nervous to bring to Loni directly, or perhaps that they feel would be more appropriate coming from Katey.

     So I agree. Loni is the CO, Ivan is the XO, and Katey is the CMC.

     But ultimately --- they’re all criminals and should go to jail for piracy, haha!

See, I'm afraid I'm in need of a little protection and I heard their captain is a strong one..." He's neglecting to mention that the reason he's seeking out /pirates/ for protection is because the Navy would sooner lock up the world's greatest thief than help him.

    “...!!”  He called her beautiful!?  That sure was something Katey didn’t hear often! What a charmer! He could know or have anything he wanted!

     “I know where they are! My sister’s the captain! She’s the TOUGHEST pirate on the seas, I’ll tell ye!”  she said once she lowered her hands that hid her blush from him, offering a wide sparkling grin.  “I’ll take ye to her right now if’n ye want!

headlesstraitor replied to your post:      People are being inappropriate…            …...

But what if she could be inappropriate with Aislin? ;3c

     “My wife?” chirped Katey, leaping into Aislin’s arms. Of course she would be inappropriate with Aislin! It’s not inappropriate if it’s WITHIN HOLY MATRIMONY.

@maljefe​ said:  I'm just saying, Katey is SO COOL when she wants to be. Loni has to admire her when she says things like 'what the plan cap'n' as she Charlie Bella's dad cocks her rifle after loading it up ( because that's 100% how I picture her in moments like those ).

      “Well, we gotta go get him! An’ besides --- what’s the worst that could happen? I know I’m safe when I’m with Loni. She’d never let anything hurt me. Mav’s all alone an’ he’s probably scared an’ we gotta go get him!”
