The Knight in Shining Armor [One Piece X OC]

You wanna bet that was a good idea

Aphrodite's POV

"Aphrodite! Get up it's time for your anticipated match against-" Maria said opening the door to my room, but stopped mid sentence when she realized I wasn't there. "Honestly where could she have gone now?" she sighed annoyed "Honey! Have you seen Aphrodite!" she shouted

"No. Why?'' his head appeared in the doorway

"Because she's not in her room" she said worriedly "Where could she have gone? Maybe she didn't get enough recovery time, or maybe she's scared or-"

She was cut off by her husband trying to calm her down "Honey, calm down. Aphrodite's not the type to cower away in fear because of this she might be going to the store. Yes." he said as if reassuring himself

"When did we send her to the store?!" Maria shouted

"Maybe when she finished all those sweets last night! I honestly don't know!" Gale shouted back

Maria was about to shout another comment until they both heard the door slam from downstairs. They both quickly ran downstairs to see a calm Aphrodite with her hands filled with cake ingredients.

"Morning, Gale, Maria" she greeted walking by their shocked expressions

"Where have you been young lady?!" Maria shouted

"Oh last night after I slept I went to jog and train for about 5, no 6 hours. Then I realized we ran out of cake ingredients so I took the liberty to buy some more after my victory today" I answered truthfully

They both held a deadpanned with a sweat drop and said in unison:

"How long do you sleep?!'' Maria exclaimed

"Your more worried about cake then the actual competition" Gale question or more like stated

"First of all I normally sleep 2 hours a day anyway" shrugging it off, Maria was going to say something, "and yes, why? Because cake is important to our everyday lives. In a cake equation it holds a balanced equation of: 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O and energy. Also fun fact about cake: According to an old English superstition, putting a fruit cake under your pillow would make you dream about the person you will marry. Also did you know that our word "cake" is from the Old Norse term kaka and has no link to "cook". The Latin for a cake is placenta and comes from the Greek plakos meaning "flat". In modern Romania, plačintă is a cakeish circle with a cheese or fruit filling. The anatomical term "placenta" was first used by the 16th-century Italian anatomist Realdo Colombo. He was stressing its flat shape (although it does nourish the foetus in utero). Until the 15th century, the English word "cake" meant a flat, round loaf of bread. Indeed, as the food historian Alan Davidson points out, "the frontiers between cake, bread, biscuit and bun remain indistinct"

Before I could speak about any more facts I was cut off by two different hands clasping over my mouth by an annoyed Maria and deadpanned Gale "Aphrodite, you know so much information it almost makes me sound dumb compared to you. You know so much about cake I'm starting to feel like your brain is actually an encyclopedia of weapon, cake and science related things ." Gale complimented

"You could possibly be a scientist if you put that brain of yours to do tasks of the world these days" Maria thought out loud while putting a suggestive finger under her chin

"Really? That sounds nice. I never really considered about becoming a scientist since Luffy always thought it was cool - me being a weapon master in his crew. Normally he would think being a scientist is boring-" I was cut off my deep thought by Maria's teasing

"ohhhh, Who's Luffy?" she asked

"My future captain" I said red hues threatening to appear on my face
