Perona screamed after the bug scurried across her face.
She just flailed around, terrified and screaming how gross they were, yet was unable to move due to her left arm being glued to the wall. Ignoring what the long-nosed guy said about it being some kind of bug star.
She started squirming even harder when when she felt them get into her clothes. She just kept crying hysterically, calling out for Kumacy even when she knew he wasn't coming back. Now she was at this weirdo's mercy, and the look in his eyes said he had none.
She flinched as another bug crawled across her exposed midriff, it was the most sensitive part of her body, 'If I knew this would happen I wouldn't have worn this!' She thought.
Usopp had her dead to rights, he was about to use the fake 10 ton hammer, but he saw how she was reacting to the bugs he threw on her, and flashed back to all the crap she put him through during this fight, and how she humiliated his friends. And she just laughed it all off.
"Y'know," he began, his voice strangely low and imposing, "after everything you did to me and my friends since we got here, I thinks it's befitting to let you suffer through this."
Then he just turned and left. This caused her to start panicking even harder, "What!? No! Come back! I'm sorry, get them away! Please!" She flailed and cried, but he just left, and soon he was out of sight.
With Usopp as he walked away, he let out a relieved sigh, "Man, glad I was able to sound cool in that last moment, and I got to save the fake roaches by using those weird ones I found out in the forest! I call that a win." He then left to find the others, whistling with a smile.
Back with Perona, she finally stopped screaming, and was just reduced to whimpering as the bugs crawled all over her body, unable to move with one arm stuck, and wouldn't dare try to touch them with her free hand.
But then she felt one of them actually stop on her skin. Looking down she saw it right underneath her exposed navel. It was pink, and somewhat resembled a stag beatle. Then slowly and almost deliberately, it started to crawl into the surprisingly deep indent of her belly.
She frantically shook her middle, trying to get it off her, but it stood firm. Then it went completely in and despite her pained and disgusted grunts, it pushed through her flesh and soon it was in her.
She couldn't help but scream again, her beautiful body had just been violated. She could feel it crawling under the skin of her belly, and it freaked her out more than the first guy who was immune to her hollows.
But then she soon felt all the other bugs on her stop moving as well. Looking around herself, she saw that they had all rotated, and we're pointed in one direction.
Her navel.
Then they all took off like rockets. Scurrying towards the little hole and crawling in there themselves and entering her body.
More screaming soon followed.
Nearly three whole minutes after, she sat in that same spot, staring afraid at her middle, which had actually expanded slightly to contain her new tormentors.
Her belly, once thought by her to be the most attractive part of her body (hence why she leaves it uncovered) now looked like she had just eaten a rather large meal, sticking out past her clothes quite notably. The bumps and ridges that ran across its still soft and pale surface reminded her of her situation.
But despite her fear, the slight strain on her gut was begging for her to rub it, and so with her free hand she did. But as she did, all movement within just stopped. And when she took her hand off, it resumed with more intensity, as if asking for it to not stop. So she continued, and now instead of pain, she started feeling pleasure from it.
"Oooh, why does this feel good?", Perona asked herself as her hand moved to around her belly button.
'Because you like it'. A voice echoed.
"Who said that?!", Perona called out, head whipping around in shock, and hoping it wasn't Long-nose or anyone she knew.
'Try looking down'. The voice went off again. And reluctantly, she did what it said. And at the top of her belly, looking right at her, was a small basic face sticking out of her skin. She wanted to scream again, but another twitch from the bugs made her stop.
'Good. I hope I have your full attention.' It said, sending shivers down her spine from how her skin moved with the mouth.
"What do you want?" She whimpered out, the sensations she was feeling almost compelling her to rub her belly, and never stop.
'You're already doing it.' Perona grew more confused at this. 'All of us merely wish to help you reach perfection. Look at yourself. You're beautiful, a vision of everything a woman should be. And that's all thanks to me commanding my brethren to make this pleasurable for you. All we want you to do is embrace us.'
The words the voice said into her ears felt like sweet nothings, sending shivers down her spine. And as she looked at her belly now, she didn't see it as disgusting, rather as a thing of beauty. She felt like a mother, and the insects no longer felt like invaders, but now her charges that she would nurture and protect.
By now, the adhesive that held her arm back had dissolved, after checking to make sure nothing was wrong, she brought her hands to the sides of her belly. She felt pressure on the inside towards her hands, the bugs were responding, showing their appreciation.
She smiled like a proud mother and stood up, testing the weight and her new center of gravity. To her surprise, while the weight was there, she had no trouble walking.
She wanted to revel in her feelings for as long as possible, but then she heard footsteps approaching. She grew nervous again, while she had embraced her new role she didn't want others to see and question her.
But almost as if they heard her thoughts, the bugs shifted once more, and suddenly her belly was flat, as if nothing happened. She mentally thanked them before getting back to her previous attitude before this day.
It was the rest of her wild zombies, all worried about their mistress. She informed them of all events, previous and current, and her plan to leave with the Strawhats ship. While they were sad about losing their comrades, they got to work prepping all the supplies and then bringing it to the ship.
Seeing as she was alone now, she gave a command for the insects to return. They did, only instead of all at once, they came slowly, letting Perona feel every sensation. Earlier she was disgusted, now she was on cloud nine, rubbing every bit of it as it stretched from her body, even pulling her shirt up to her breasts to give it more room.
'No thanks is needed for hiding ourselves. They wouldn't understand, not like you do.' The voice went in her head again. She just smiled, it didn't matter to her.
"Don't worry, we're leaving this place for good. No one will ever come between us and we'll be together forever." She said in a slight singsong voice as she swayed, hands rubbing the sides of her belly. She felt her guests wriggle more as she spoke. They wanted this as much as she did.
'And whats better, our family will get bigger, and when that happens, you'll only get more beautiful. More beautiful than anything this world has to offer.'
Perona just imagined it, her glorious belly filled with countless more insects, growing bigger endlessly, that sole part becoming her entirety, her little body simply the organ supporting it, people praising, worshiping her, calling her a goddess.
She would achieve that dream. And her guests would help her.
Sighing in pleasure of the thought, she gave her belly one last proud rub and walked off, she was going to leave this island, and make that dream reality.
(What's next?)
