towards both sets of twins, Sahir eyed them, assessing each one of them as they stood tall. Beginning his short walk, he stopped in front of his first set: Sayid and Seiji.
Though they were just eight years old, it was obvious to tell the difference between the two, though they were identical.
Though a child, Sayid was very serious about everything he done. He moved with precision, always keeping himself a few steps ahead of everybody, mainly his siblings. He was exactly how his mother was, when she was younger: persistent to do anything he put his mind to. He was determined to be one of the greatest spies, like his parents and grandparents, and to him, to become the greatest spy meant not playing around.
On the other hand, Seiji was a carbon copy of his father. He played around in serious situations, not caring about the repercussions that could come from his actions. He was a trickster, always getting himself out of his own messes. He was quick in learning certain things from his parents, resulting in him having a very confident, or cocky, air about himself.
Humming to himself, Sahir moved to stand in front of his second set of twins: Sekai and Sakari.
The two, seven year old boys were troublesome, for lack of a better word. They were constantly playing tricks on their father, since he always told them how they were suppose to be girls. They would always mess with their father, shaving off all of his facial hair off while he was sleep, or even, placing a certain chemical in his bath, making his skin have a blue tinge for weeks. Though they messed with him, they wouldn't even think about treating their mother in the same regard as him.
"So the mission is very simple." Sahir started once he was sure all four boys had their eyes on him. "Your goal is to sneak into the house and steal something valuable, without getting caught."
"That's easy." Seiji said with a smirk, knowing he could get the job done.
"Since it's so easy, you guys have ten minutes to go and come back undetected. Each of you carrying something valuable in your hand, now go." Sahir finished watching them leave, before he could even finish his words.
Meanwhile, Samia sat in an enclosed room, monitoring the boys as they snuck into the camera filled house. She watched as Sayid went one way, as Seiji went another, and Sakari and Sekai take the top floor together.
"That's Jiji, mommy." Samia heard coming from behind her.
Taking her eyes off of the screen, she placed them on Shakir, her four year old son.
Shakir was conceived during a mission that Sahir and Samia had in Mali, four, almost five years ago. They went to Mali on their own terms, deciding to take down two of the biggest drug lords Africa has ever seen.
The mission lasted four months, and by the time it was over, Samia found out that she was a couple of weeks pregnant with her and Sahir's fifth child.
"Yes it is, baby." Samia cooed to him, watching his cheeks lift up and the sole dimple on his right cheek, deepen.
Watching Shakir go back to playing on his tablet, Samia took her attention off of him, placing it on the sleeping figure on the couch. The figure laying on the couch was Samia and Sahir's sixth child, Semaj.
Two, almost three years ago, Samia had decided to get off of birth control, since she had felt like Sahir would be fine with using condoms and pulling out.

Sahir planted his seed inside of her on the first try, in hopes of getting his daughter, which didn't happen.
Semaj and Shakir were always underneath Samia, due to them being too young to learn the ways of the family business. But any given chance, all of her boys would find themselves cuddling with their mom, appreciating her presence.
Whenever Sahir would go out on missions by himself, he would always come home to find a bed filled by six boys and his wife, resulting in his sleeping in the guest room.
"How are they doing?" Samia heard Sahir ask through the earpiece.
Looking back at the camera, Samia scanned the screens, looking at where each boy was.
"They're all heading towards a room together, so I would advise for you to make your way inside, after them."
Sahir nodded his head, though Samia couldn't see. Checking his surroundings, he began to make his way towards the house, going around the back to enter. Once he was inside, he began to move as if he knew the layout of the dark house.
Not bumping into anything, he began to creep upstairs, heading to where he knew the boys were probably at. Once he came close, he remained still.
"It's easy to open that door, all I need is a pocketknife." Sakari said eyeing the door to what looked like a secret room.
Reaching into his boot, Sekai handed Sakari the pocket knife that he had took from Sahir's back pocket earlier.
"This lil nigga here." Sahir mumbled shaking his head.
"We're being watched." Sayid said looking around their surroundings.
Seiji shrugged his shoulders.
"They can either try to fight us or remain in the shadows, and I doubt that they would try to fight us." He spoke without a worry.
Sayid rolled his eyes, before turning it to the door that Sakari was able to open.
Looking at each other, Sayid and Seiji stepped up to walk first, with Sekai and Sakari close behind them.
Entering the dark room, their trained eyes quickly adjusted, beginning to look around for stuff.
Suddenly the lights in the room turned on, causing the boys to look around with wide eyes.
"You guys failed." Sahir spoke up, shaking his head with a smirk. "I guess you guys aren't as good as you say you are."
"Cause you're not about to start playing my babies." Samia said pressing the button for the room to shift, allowing them to see her.
"Yeah, what mom said." Sekai and Sakari said lowly in unison, sticking their tongue out at Sahir.
"They actually did really well. I like how they came together, using all of their eyes, instead of remaining separated." Samia said standing up, walking towards them to kiss each of their foreheads. "Plus they still had a whole two minutes left, which if in a real situation, they could have used to grab something and make it back to you on time."
Sahir smacked his teeth, following it with an eye roll.
"I'll be the one to ask the obvious questions, since everyone else wants to act like this is a regular thing." Seiji said catching everybody's eyes. "Whose house are we in, and why were you already in it?"
"We're in our house, surprise." Sahir said with fake excitement, waving his hands around lazily.
Samia shook her head, smirking at Sahir.
"We've decided that we're going to stay in New Orleans for a while. So for now, this is our home." Samia said clearing up the confusion that rested on each of her son's face.

"Out of all places, why here?" Sayid said shaking his head.
He would rather stay in any other state.
"You're only saying that because you don't want to see Tiana." Seiji said causing Sayid to punch him in his shoulder.
Sahir quickly pulled Seiji away, already knowing that Seiji would of swing at Sayid, causing a fight between the two. It wouldn't of been the first time it happened.
"You lucky he's holding me back!" Seiji shouted at Sayid who rolled his eyes, walking towards the couch to sit next to Semaj's sleeping figure.
Sekai and Sakari looked between the two, before bursting out laughing.
"I'd beat y'all thing one and thing two selves too, if he'd let me go." Seiji said causing Sekai and Sakari to pause in laughter, looking at each other.
Doing the Conceited face at Seiji's comment, towards each other, they both fell into even more laughter.
"If I had brothers, they wouldn't pull my card like they do yours." Sahir said laughing, causing Seiji to lift his leg up and stomp on his father's feet.
"You son of a-" Sahir began to yell, but stopped when Samia's curious eyes landed on his.
Taking his eyes off of her, he placed them on his foot in his hands, rubbing it through his boots.
Once released, Seiji began to stalk towards his younger twin brothers, who were a laughing mess on the ground.
"Come over here." Samia said to Seiji, causing him to change his path of walking.
Shooting a death glare the twins way, Seiji stepped into his mother's arms, that squeezed him as much as they could.
Seeing his mother hugging someone else other than him, didn't sit right in Shakir's stomach. Standing up, he dropped his tablet, running towards his mother. Once he stood close to her, he began to incessantly tap her leg.
"Hug me, mommy." He whined out, causing Samia to attempt to bend over and pick him up.
As soon as she picked him up in her hands, he was swiped by Sahir.
"Why are you always doing something you're not suppose to be doing." Sahir said holding Shakir for a few, then placing him right back down on the ground.
Samia rolled her eyes.
"I'm allowed to pick up things, I'm not physically impaired." Samia said wrapping her arms back around Seiji.
"You're right, you're not physically impaired," Sahir said agreeing with her. "but you are nine months pregnant with twins and you aren't able to do certain things."
Blowing out a breathe, Samia decided to leave that conversation at that.
"Anyways, come on boys. Let me show y'all how I decorated y'all rooms." Samia said unwrapping her arms from around Seiji, walking out of the room, after she roughly brushed her shoulder against Sahir's.
Rolling his eyes at Samia's dramatics, Sahir turned, only to met by the face of five boys, sending death glares his way.
"Y'all be ready to go to war, after that woman, but never have the same energy with me." Sahir said shaking his head.
Feeling something roughly brush against him again, he looked to see that it was Samia. Eyeing her, he watched her pick up a sleeping Semaj, holding him in her arms.
"You don't-" Sahir began, but stopped when he seen Samia hold her hand up in his face, before walking out.
Each of his sons followed out, holding their hand up and laughing at him.
"Sons are great, they said. They're your pride and joy." Sahir spoke sarcastically.
"Shittt!" Sahir heard Samia scream.
Quickly moving to where she was, Sahir had to break through her bodyguards, to get to her. He began to walk closer, but stopped when he noticed that the ground was wet by a huge puddle of what appeared to be water.
Quickly scanning everyone's face, Sahir could guess where the wetness came from.
Grabbing Semaj from Samia, he quickly handed him off to Sayid.
"Sayid and Seiji, you're in charge of watching your brothers." Looking at a groaning Samia, Sahir shook his head with a smirk on his face. "I told you that you couldn't do certain things now look at you, about to give birth."
Samia cut her eyes at him, before grabbing her stomach, slightly bending over.
"I've been having contractions all day, i just didn't think this would come so soon. Last time, it didn't happen until three days later." Samia spoke as she remained bent over, now holding onto the wall.
Walking around the puddle, Sahir took Samia in his arms, holding her like he did when they first got married.
"I'm going to take your mother to the hospital, so the two little gremlins inside of her will get out." Sahir said turning towards the boys. "I'll come back to get y'all as soon as they're out."
Each boy nodded their head, except Shakir who wasn't paying attention and Semaj who was still asleep.
"Bring our brothers in safely, ma." Seiji yelled out causing Samia to smile.
They didn't know the genders of the fraternal babies inside of her, but with Samia's luck and Sahir's bad luck, she was most likely having boys.
"If you have another boy, I'm leaving you this time, seriously." Sahir said as brought her to the bathroom, to change out of her wet bottoms, before they headed to the hospital.
*
Sahir entered the room, followed by his six sons. As he looked around, he seen Samia sitting up, speaking to Milan.
"Well look who it is." Milan said looking at Sahir, rolling her eyes, then smiling at the boys.
Each boy walked over to Samia, giving her a hug and planting a kiss on her cheek. Seiji and Sayid placed Shakir and Semaj on her bed, allowing them to smother her face with kisses from not seeing her for so long.
Sayid, Seiji, Sekai, and Sakari walked over to a sitting Titan, sitting down in the chairs near him.
"That's what I'm saying." Sahir said placing a kiss on Samia's forehead. "I didn't think they allowed animals in here."
Laughter could be heard from the boys, who stopped once Milan eyed them.
"You're the only animal in here, jackass." Milan said mumbling the last part.
"Where's Tyson, he finally left you?" Sahir asked sitting on the edge of the bed with a smirk on his face.
"Hahaha." Milan said with a fake laugh. "He actually took Tiana to her dance class, but he'll be by here later."
As soon as Tiana's name left Milan's mouth, Seiji's eyes turned towards Sayid, wiggling his eyebrows.
Rolling his eyes at Seiji, Sayid turned towards his mother.
"Where's the babies, ma?" He asked curiously, wanting to see the two newest additions to the family.
"They're actually-" Samia began, but stopped once she heard a knock on the door. "Come in."
In walked Samia's nurse, Judy, rolling in two separate bassinets. Sitting them by the bed, she scanned the semi-packed room.
"You weren't lying when you said you had a big family." Nurse Judy said causing Samia to laugh.
"I have six, well eight now." Samia said looking at the two babies, cradled in white blankets.
"I'm going to leave you guys to it, you know how to page me." She said to Samia, before she exited out of the room.
"I'll be right back." Milan said rushing to the bathroom, so that she could wash her hands.
Sahir trailed behind her, followed by Seiji, Sayid, Sakari, Sekai, and Titan.
"Baby!" Semaj said clapping his hands, as Samia brought one of the twins into her arms.
Shakir sat with his eyes wide, in awe of how small and beautiful a baby could look.
"You're both big brothers of two-" Samia started, but stopped once she heard Milan start to squeal, as she walked out of the bathroom.
"I'm all clean, so hand TiTi Milan one of her babies." Milan said holding her arms out.
Shaking her head, with a smile on her face, Samia placed the baby into Milan's arms. Sitting there, she watched Milan stare at the baby in awe.
Exiting out of the bathroom, once he seen each boy thoroughly wash their hands, Sahir walked over to the baby still in the bassinet, picking them up. As soon as the baby felt his touch, their eyes opened, allowing Sahir to stare his one of his newest babies, in their eyes.
"Can I see the baby real quick, I want to introduce them to their older brothers." Samia said to Milan, who gently handed the baby back to her, pulling out her phone to record the moment.
Locking eyes with Sahir, Samia couldn't help the smile that crossed her face. As they stared at each other with stood grins on their face, they both thought of the same thing: How worth it this moment was being surrounded by their children, who stared at them with eagerness and love in their eyes for their newest siblings.
Stepping closer to Samia, Sahir bent down, placing a kiss on her lips, before standing back up.
"We'd like to introduce you guys to your newest siblings." Sahir started with a wide smile on his face.
"This is one of your twin sisters, Sadé." Sahir said earning gasps of shock from the boys.
"And this is your other sister, Saida." Samia quickly followed up with.
Uncovering the babies face, that was partially covered by the blanket, Samia and Sahir allowed them to see their sisters. Sadé and Saida, were truly fraternal with Saida having a lighter pigment than a darker Sadé, but they both had Samia's remarkable beauty, already.
"I want to hold her!" Was all Sahir and Samia heard from the boys.
If their eagerness wasn't enough for her heart to begin to fill with even more love, then seeing Shakir and Semaj lay gentle kisses on both of the baby's foreheads did.
"I finally got my girls." Sahir cooed to Samia, who watched her son's cautiously hold their younger sisters.
Samia nodded, grabbing his hand and squeezing it.
"Now that you got your girls, that means that you can stop shooting up my club." Samia said causing Sahir to nod his head. "That's why I came to the conclusion that I'm getting my tubes tied because I'm done pushing out babies."
Bending down, Sahir grabbed Samia's face, pulling her lips towards his. The kiss was filled with pure love, that they both held in their hearts for each other.
They both broke away from their kiss, looking at Milan's phone which clicked loudly, after she tried to discretely take a picture of them.
"Y'all can go back to having a cute moment, I'm just gonna take some more pictures of them." She said turning towards the boys. "Seeing these two pretty babies is making me want another, but we all know that's not happening."
Samia let out a small laugh, then looking at Sahir who stared at her with eyes filled with awe.
"Why you looking at me like that?" Samia asked raising her eyebrow.
"I'm allowed to look at my fine ass wife, who birthed out all eight of my kids, the way I want to. Now give me a kiss." Sahir demanded inching his face closer to hers.
Leaning in, Samia gave into his demands, delivering a sweet kiss onto his lips.
"I love you so much." Samia said smiling at Sahir, as she pulled away.
"That's impossible," He said with his famous dimpled smirk. "because I love you like a fat boy loves his chocolate cake."

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
