Chapter 13: The Legend Has Started! Head For The Grand Line!
"WOW!! What a huge town!!"
The crew had landed at a large town called Loguetown. You look around the town, seeing how busy it really was. "I heard this place used to be filled with pirates on their way to the Grand Line." Usopp grins. "All right! I'm gonna go get some equipment for our upcoming adventure!"
Sanji giggles watching the women pass. "Looks like I can get some good ingredients here. Good women too!" "I got something I want to buy, too." Zoro says, only for Nami to jump immediately on it. "Oh? How are you going to do that? You're flat broke as I recall!"
Zoro starts to sweat nervously as Nami has backed him into a corner. "Yosh! I'm going to check out the execution platform!" Luffy says before grabbing your wrist and dragging you along. "Let's go Y/n!!!"
"O-Oi! Luffy!!!!! Big brother help me- oops!"
Nami looks at you confused, eyes wide. "Big Brother?? Who are you calling "Brother"?"
"Oh, looks like the secret's out." Zoro replies cooly, only for the other three crew members to scream the normal, "EHHHHHHHHH?!?!??!?!" "Well I'm off." Zoro runs off after you and Luffy, while you are still being dragged along with your captain. "Let's go see where the King of Pirates was executed!!"
"Zoroooo do something.........." You feel a tug on your other wrist, and see none other than Zoro. "Let's go Y/n." Suddenly you feel a tug on your other wrist, and it's Luffy. "Zoro let go!! I want Y/n to come with meeeeee!!" your captain whines, making you groan.
The two boys start to tug on your wrists, and you go back and forth like a rag doll. "ENOUGH YOU TWO!!!" you yell. The boys jumped, letting go of your wrists. "Thank you! Now, Luffy, I am going with-"
"NO! I want you to go with me Y/n!!"
Zoro looks exasperatedly at the straw hat male. "But why?"
"I just want her to!" He crosses his arms, making a pouty face. "Captain's orders!!" he declares. Zoro sighs in defeat, giving you one last smirk. "Sorry Y/n. Can't go against the captain." With that, Zoro walks off, leaving a very flustered you. "Yay!!! Let's go now Y/n!!!"
You sigh, unable to deny the fact you had been defeated. "Fine, you win." Luffy runs ahead, with you following close behind him. But as you keep running, you end up at the port somehow. "How did I wind up at the port?" he looks around confused. You deadpan. "Do you even know which way you're going?!??!"
You and Luffy look around, trying to find someone when your eyes land on a tall man. He has two cigars in his mouth and many in his pocket. His jacket exposes his chest and he has dark blue pants and brown heavy boots. You cover your mouth and nose in disgust. "Luffy, I don't like this guy. Not even for his smoking." you say muffled.
But Luffy ignores you, as he drags your free wrist toward the man. You can smell the smoke coming from the cigars, burning your lungs, and you turned your head away in disgust. "Perfect timing! Do you know how to get to the execution platform?" Luffy asks. "The execution platform?" the male replies. "Yeah, we got lost on our way."
"I've never seen you before....."
"Hold on sir! Look! That girl!" one soldier yells.
Smoker turns his attention to you. You slowly lift head to look up at him, but look down when he blows smoke in your face. "Sorry. You must not like the smoke. But why are you looking for the execution platform?"
"I wanna see where the King of Pirates died!" he says proudly. "Follow the smoke." You look over at the long trail of smoke. You deadpan. 'There is no escape!' However, as you look closer at his uniform you realize, he's a Navy Officer. You gasp and quickly grab Luffy wrist. "So that's the way? Thank you sir!"
You drag Luffy in the direction of the smoke, trying your best to keep it from entering your nose and mouth. Smoker narrows his eyes at you. "What's with that girl?" He turns to the soldier, holding up a wanted poster with your name on it. "It's y/f/n with a bounty of 100 million!"
Smoker's eyes widen. "Don't tell me! That's the Navy's Weapon! And more than likely Straw Hat Luffy!"
Back to you..................
The two of you had wound up in alley behind some buildings. "Oh man!" Luffy whines. "I wanted to go to the execution platform but now we're somewhere else completely......"
"Oh this is ridiculous!" you exclaim, walking off in another direction, leaving Luffy. "Where are you going y/n?!!?" You continue to walk off. "To find some directions!"
You start to look around town for your crew. You pass a couple sitting on the bench, and wind up in a part of town with no people. You pant, trying to catch your breath. "Man, is it this hard to find everyone?!" Suddenly, you hear an oh so familiar voice, but can't place where it's coming from.
"LOOK OUT Y/N!!!!!"
"Huh?!?! Luffy?!"
You look up and see Luffy was falling toward you, and fast. Luffy comes crashing down on you. The two of you slam down into the concrete below. "O-O-ouch......" you wince.
"I sure flew a long way......... what was with that guy?? Oh! Sorry y/n!!"
The second he gets off of you, you grab the back of his head, slamming him face first into the ground, then kick him in the back a couple of times. When you are done, Luffy rises. He has three new lumps on his forehead, and his lip and eye are puffed up and have turned purple. "I thait thaht I wath sowy"
(I said that I was sorry)
"NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!" Luffy suddenly lets out a long yawn. He lays back on the floor. "I'm tired. Guess I'll go to sleep now." You groan, bending down to try and pick him up. "Get up!!!"
Luffy pulls you down with him, and presses your face to his chest, wrapping his arms tightly around your waist. Your whole body is no pressed against Luffy's. You feel your face burning, as you try to move, but one thing was for sure; Luffy may look weak, but he sure as hell had a good grip. You were going to have her try to pry Luffy off, but you doubt that it was going to work. People start to gather round, worried. "Is he okay?"
"Is he dead?"
"Are you two all right?"
"U-U-Um yeah!! We're good!"
The people take one last look at you, before leaving. You sigh, listening to the sound of Luffy's heartbeat.
Thump Thump
Thump Thump
You smile. You don't know why, but it put you at ease. You snuggle in, accepting Luffy's warmth, giggling at his snoring.
"Y/n's a big teddy bear........." You blush, but decide to take it as a compliment. Slowly, you close your eyes, drifting into deep sleep. What you don't notice is the two Navy officers heading your way.
Zoro sighs with relief, now having three swords with him. "I feel a lot better with three swords...." he mutters. 'I wonder how Y/n's holding up....' And with that, Zoro decides to try and find you. Unfortunately, this results into him being completely lost around the town. Finally though, he manages to make it to the square where Luffy was located.
However, it's only Luffy sleeping still. Luffy groans, stretching and yawning as he wakes up. "What a nice nap! Huh? Y/n?" he suddenly says, looking around. Zoro grabs Luffy's vest, bringing him face to face. "Luffy! Where's Y/n?!" he yells.
Luffy hums, not that worried surprisingly. "Hmmm I know! She probably went to the execution platform!" Zoro sweatdrops. "That y/n! No way I'm letting her beat me! Bye Zoro!" Luffy runs off leaving a confused Zoro. 'There is no way she would.' And so, Zoro begins to chase after Luffy, worried about your whereabouts.
"LET GO OF ME!" you scream, thrashing in the Navy officer's grasp. "Hold her down!" one man yells. "She's a lot tougher than we thought!!" You punch the male holding you in the gut, making him wheeze as he lets go of you. However another sneaks up behind you and slams you into the ground.
"TIE HER DOWN OR SOMETHING! THE NAVY NEEDS HER ALIVE!!" One soldier puts pressure on your back while the other, on your shoulders. You try to escape, not wanting to use your Devil Fruit powers if necessary, but this was getting out of hand.
"Oi. What do you think you're doing?!"
The weight from the soldier is gone, as you see him skid across the concrete, the gun skidding away from the navy man. You feel yourself being lifted up gently, so you are standing. When you turn to look at the person, you get smoke blown directly to your face again. You cough before recognizing the blonde. "Sanji -san!!"
"Y/n!"
"You okay?!"
You turn around and notice that Nami and Usopp were also there. "Yeah! Thanks you guys." "Y/n-chaaaaan!! She praised me! She praised me!!!" Sanji cries in bliss. You all sweatdrop at Sanji. Nami shakes her head. "Ignore Sanji-kun. But y/n, what happened?! I thought you were with Luffy!" "Well I was sleeping with Luffy an-"
"EHHHHHHHH?!?!?!" Sanji screeches, followed by Nami and Usopp in unison. "YOU SLEPT TOGETHER!?!"
"WHY DID THAT IDIOT GET TO SLEEP WITH A LADY BEFORE MEEEEE???!?!"
You shake your head furiously as your face was already starting to heat up, remembering your girl talk with Nami from earlier and what that meant. "It's not like that!!! He just took a nap and I was there with him!!" But they ignore you, still freaking out. It's then you notice Nami and Usopp carrying a large blue fish."What's that?""Hm? Oh yeah! Sanji-kun won it at a cooking contest!" Nami explains.
"I see....By the way, have any of you seen Luffy or Zoro?" you ask worried about the two. Usopp shakes his head. "No, in fact we were just heading to the ship until we saw you getting attacked."
"Oh...Yeah sorry bout that. Guess I can't really live up to my bounty huh?" you chuckle softly. Sanji frowns. "In any case, you're stronger in the water, so let's head back to the ship." You nod. "Y-Y-yeah."
You offer to hold the fish for Usopp, but Sanji doesn't let you, since you're a lady. Instead Nami hands you some of her clothes to carry. On the way though, Sanji asks you a question. "Say y/n-chan?"
"Yeah?"
"You ate the Mizu Mizu fruit right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"That's supposed to be a Logia type of fruit, yet why didn't you change into water to avoid those guys from catching you?" Usopp overhears this and nods. "You have a point. You should've been able to get out of that quite easily." Nami also overhears this, remembering what happened earlier on the ship. "Y/n, is there something you're not telling us?"
You stop walking. They notice and stop and turn to face you. "Y/n........chan?" You take a deep breath, wondering if you should tell the crew. "It's because I-"
"Hey!"
The three of you look to see Zoro running towards you. "Zoro!" you exclaim only for the male to smack you in the head. "Where the hell were you?!? I leave you alone with Luffy for a few minutes and when I come back you're gone!"
You chuckle nervously. "Yeah...Sorry! I ran into some Navy trouble!" Zoro narrows his eyes, "Also," he walks over to you, and smacks your head with the sheath of his katana.
"Ouch!"
"Idiot. What's this nonsense about sleeping with Luffy?"
Sanji cries, "I KNEW IT!!" Usopp gasps in horror, "B-B-but that means........."
"Y/n has lost her virginity!!!!" Nami finishes. Everyone starts screaming and panicking. You are growing more and more irritated. Until you finally break. "SHUT UP!!!!!"
There is a large wave that comes crashing down at the port. When the crew turns to it, they look back at you. You have a deathly glare on your face, and an evil smile tugs at the corner of your lips. "It wasn't like that. Right, everyone?" Nami swallows hard, nodding her head fiercely. Usopp is sweating golf balls, his legs shaking. Zoro has backed away from you and Sanji..........well, he's Sanji.
"Whoa, I hope you didn't kill Luffy." Zoro says with a shrug. Your expression instantly turns panicked. "EHHH?!?! NO WAY!!!! Wait a minute......." It takes you a second to realize Zoro was lying. "You jerk. Anyways where is Luffy?"
"Yeah..We got separated. Plus, I feel something strange. Like something bad's about to happen.........." You could feel it too, but decided not to say anything. Then a crowd of people run by you and the crew.
"Pirates are here!"
"It's Buggy The Clown!!!"
Nami gasps. "What?!" You face the female. "You know him??" Zoro sweat drops at the memory. "Yeah, Luffy beat him up a while back."
"An execution!"
"An execution is about to start! Buggy the Clown will be executing Straw Hat Luffy!"
Now it was Usopp's turn to panic. "Luffy's going to be executed?!" You grab the man and shake him around a bit. You don't know why, but something in you snapped and you felt a strong urge to find Luffy. "Where?! Where is the execution?!" you demand, and scaring the man. "O-O-Over there!"
You run ahead, sprinting with Sanji and Zoro following behind you. "You guys! Go to the harbor!" you yell. You look up at the sky, now filled with dark clouds. 'A storm is coming....' You smirk. "Perfect."
You finally reach the large crowd of people surrounding the execution platform. You grab one of the swords from a Navy Officer,and Zoro ties his bandana on his head. "Stop the execution!" the three of you yell in unison.
Everyone turns to look at the three of you, and Luffy's face lights up. "Oooh! Sanji! Zoro! Y/n!" Zoro tched. "Shame on you. There's a limit to how much you can fool around, Luffy." "Luffy! You bastard! Sleeping with y/n!!" Sanji yells. "Drop it already!!" you hiss.
"Y/n"?! Zoro?!" one woman repeats in fear. "It's Pirate Hunter Zoro and Water Bearer Y/n!!!" the crowd screams in realization. The large crowd of people run away, leaving Buggy's crew. "So you finally came Roronoa Zoro! But you're a little too late!" Buggy cackles as he raises the sword. You, Sanji and Zoro sprint to the platform.
"Guys, get them!" The men charge at you, and Zoro starts cutting them, one by one, Sanji kicking them all down. You use your sword, cutting the men down. "Good to see you can sword fight." he says, somewhat impressed. "Of course I can, Marimo!" you respond grinning.
Buggy became a bit worried at first seeing this, but seeing as you weren't going to make it in time, he proceeded to boast. "Not even Water Bearer or Roronoa Zoro can stop me! Say goodbye to your captain!!" You proceed to cut down the men, but Luffy starts to speak. Zoro! Sanji! Y/n! Nami! Usopp!" the three of you present, look up at your captain. "Sorry............I'm dead."
Luffy has a huge smile on his face as Buggy brings down the sword. Your eyes widen in horror. "LUFFY!!!!!!" you scream. Suddenly a large lightning bolt appears in the sky, striking the the platform, as the metal creaks and the platform sets on fire and falls. It is then the rain starts pouring down. Luffy's straw hat comes flying down onto the ground and lands in front of none other than Luffy.
He picks up the hat, placing it on his head, letting out a long laugh. His clothes are a little burnt, but other than that, he is not injured. Buggy, on the other hand is scorched, and on the ground, not moving. "Shishsihsi! I'm still alive after all. I got lucky."
Everyone is in total shock. The Buggy pirates and Alvida are not moving. Zoro puts away his swords and Sanji's cigarette falls out of his mouth. You, on the other hand run up to Luffy and pull him into a tight hug. "LUFFY!!!!" "Y/n!!" He hugs you back, Luffy tries to ignore how his heart is practically jumping out of his chest, but can't as he ends up letting go. you make a pouty face, remembering the warmth you felt, longing for it again. "Why did you leave me when I was taking a nap? I thought you liked sleeping with me!"
"When did I ever say that?! Besides, I was kidnapped by the Navy you idiot!" you huff. Zoro mutters under his breath. "To think he slept while that happened." Luffy's eyes widen. "Really?! I'm gonna kick their asses!!"
"Now! Corner the pirates!"
A large crowd of Navy soldiers launch into battle with the Buggy Pirates. You grab Luffy's wrist and drag him along, with Sanji and Zoro following. "We have to head back to the ship!" "Yeah, we won't be able to go to the Grand Line if we don't hurry!" Sanji warns. "What?! That's not good! Hurry Y/n! Run faster!" Luffy says, being that you were the one leading him.
"This is how fast I can run!! If you want me to go faster do something about it!!"
"Hm, Okay!"
So he does. Luffy picks you up, throwing you over his left shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "W-What are you doing?!" you stutter, now feeling all flustered. Zoro's eye twitches in annoyance. "Oi Luffy! Put her down!" "You let go of Y/n-chan right now!!!" Sanji hisses.
"No time!!" Luffy sprints with you, holding you tightly so you don't fall off. "Oi! The Straw Hat gang is getting away!" Navy soldiers try to block your way, but Zoro and Sanji quickly dispose of them. You can't help but think how well this is all going for you guys. How much luck you are having. Then you remember it's raining. You let it fall down your h/c h/l hair, taking in the new strength you feel. You let out a small sigh. "This feels nice."
Zoro flicks you in the forehead. "How can you say that at a time like this?! We're gonna be in trouble if we don't make it!" he says in between breaths as the two of them were sprinting just to keep up with you and Luffy. "Grand Line! Grand Line! We gotta go to the Grand Line!" Luffy chants.
You guys were completely lost due to the rain. And a large crowd of Marine Soldiers had formed and were following you. "Which direction is the sea?! Oi y/n! Can't you do something?!" Zoro asks. "Yeah! But Luffy, you need to put me down!!" "No!" Luffy says instantly. "EH?! I'm trying to save our lives!!"
"No! I don't want the Navy to take you again!"
"So what?! It's not gonna matter if we all get killed!"
"I said no! Captain's orders!"
You let out an irritated sigh, causing one large wave appear over the buildings. "Oh look! You did help after all!" Zoro points in surprise. Sanji has hearts in his eyes as he praises you. "Thanks y/n-cha OHHH!! Who is that lovely lady ahead?!"
"You....You lied to me Roronoa Zoro!"
Luffy and the guys stop running. "WHAT?! What did you do to her Zoro?!" Sanji yells ready to beat the living crap out of the moss head. You try to turn around and see who it is. "Luffy I can't see! Who is it?!" Luffy turns around, so you can see the girl and you gasp. The dark blue hair, her voice, even her expression. ".....Kuina? Is that you?!"
The female looks in surprise. "Kuina?!" she repeats. "Y/n, that's not her. I met this girl a while back. I never lied to her, she just never asked my name." Zoro clarifies. "A rogue like you can't be allowed to own a renowned sword! I'll collect your sword, the Wado Ichimonji!" Tashigi yells, drawing her katana.
You were at first taken back by this before glaring at the female. "What?! No way! That's Kuina's! If anything a filthy Navy woman like you shouldn't have it!" Tashigi gasped. "What?! How dare you Water Bearer! You're worse than Roronoa Zoro! You're Navy property!"
"Why you......." you growl. "Luffy! Let me down already!"
"No. Let Zoro take care of this."
"Huh?" You look over at Zoro. He unsheathes his sword from Kuina, and his smirk from earlier is gone, and is replaced with an angry smug look. "It's one thing to call me a liar, but it's another to call Y/n navy property. Just you try to take this sword." Zoro and Tashigi charge, and the swords clash. Every time Zoro goes to strike, he is met with a block. He smirks, causing Tashigi to get even more mad.
"You jerk! How dare you attack a lady!" Sanji was just about ready to join the fight until the Kuina doppleganger spoke up. "Please don't interfere! This is a fight between Roronoa and I! There's no need to step in!" "You heard her. Go. Y/n." Zoro says, "And stop trying to kill her."
"Huh?" Tashigi turns around and lets out a terrified yelp. Right next to her neck was a sharp sword made of water. You roll your eyes in irritation. "Tch. Fine." You drop the sword and Luffy and Sanji go on ahead. "Hey Zoro! If you hurt a lady I'll never forgive you!" Sanji raises his fist, shaking it around before continuing to run.
"I see the exit! The harbor is up there!" Luffy points ahead. "Thank goodness." But your relief is washed away, at Sanji's' next words. "Hey, who's that up there?" "You're finally here.......Straw Hat Luffy.........Water Bearer." you instantly recognize the person, despite being unable to see. "Luffy, is that who I think it is?"
"Yeah." Smoker walks forward, now standing in the way of the three of you. "Didn't I tell you, you can't enter the Grand Line without beating me first?" Luffy blinks in confusion a few times before remembering. "Oh yeah! I forgot about it!" Smoker sighs. "You're such an airhead."
"Sanji, go ahead. I'll be right there. Y/n. Go with him." Luffy finally sets you down. Smoker narrows his eyes at you. "Well I don't know about that. Water Bearer. You are coming with me." You scoff at this. "As if!" "You know, your father wants you back."
Hearing those words. Your legs feel wobbly all over again, the thought of seeing you father again, made your stomach churn. "N-No......." Luffy sees you in this state and instantly becomes angered. "Hey, you said I have to beat you! You're not going to touch Y/n!"
"W-What?!" you stutter, breaking out of your weak state. Sanji nods in agreement. "That's right! Come with me y/n-chan~" You appreciated it, but you didn't want to endanger Luffy. "But Luffy-"
"Remember what we told Makino? If that's true, then I'm not going to let anything happen to you! But you have to promise me; don't you ever go back to that man!"
"......Y-Yeah!"
Luffy grins hearing this. "Now GO!"
To Be Continued.............
