One Piece

Chapter 13 - Loguetown

——————
(Y/N)'s POV

"There's a famous city on this island, Loguetown." Nami said.

"Loguetown? Is it famous for its meat?" Luffy asked.

"Also known as the city of beginning and the end. I'm pretty sure I've heard that before." Zoro uttered.

"It's the town where Gol D. Roger, the old King of the Pirates was born and executed." Nami added.

I froze when I heard what she said.

"E-excuse me, everyone. I-I need to get inside." I said and left them.

I'm not ready yet. I don't want to see something that can remind me of HIM.

•••

"Can I stay here? I'm not really in the mood to walk right now." I said to my friends.

"Are you sure, (Y/N)? We can go shop for new clothes here." Nami said.

"Y-yeah. I'm sure." I said in a dismissal tone.

"Okay. But do you want anything? I'll just buy it for you."

"Nothing. I'm good, thanks."

Sanji was still encouraging me to go with them but in the end he gave up.

They all left except for Zoro.

"Aren't you going with them?" I asked him.

"You will be alone here." He said.

"I'll be fine Zoro." I said and flashed him a big smile hoping he wouldn't notice it was fake.

"I'll stay."

"I actually want a soda. Can you buy it for me?" I asked him. I feel guilty because I feel like I'm the one who's stopping him to enjoy visiting this town.

"We can buy it together."

"But I really don't want to walk. My legs are tired." I told him that even though my legs are capable of walking.

"Fine. We'll be back shortly." He said.

"Okay! Thank you!"

•••

I spent my time cleaning the deck and training the power I have discovered. I found out that it doesn't work if I didn't touch someone who has a devil fruit. So I touched Luffy in the shoulder before they went to the town. Luffy and the others still doesn't know about this tho. Only Usopp.

I checked the time.

I've decided to go to Loguetown. I need to overcome whatever is this so that I can move forward.

I brought only a few coins so I will not be tempted to spend a lot.

I decided to go straight.

I saw that there are many people crowding some area so I went there to check. I saw a tall platform and Luffy was standing at the top of it.

"Why is he standing there? It's too dangerous!/That's where the King of the Pirates was executed, right?" Murmured by the people around me.

So that's where HE died.

The people who wear cloaks revealed themselves. It was the Circus Pirates! (A/N: Buggy Pirates, not Circus Pirates but since (Y/N) is just like her brother who loves to give nicknames to people instead of just saying their actual name, she decided to call them Clown Fraternity or Circus Pirates, lol)

Oh sh*t. They put locked up Luffy in a wooden thingy.

"I'm the man who will be the King of the Pirates!" Luffy shouted.

Everyone was silent.

I sneaked to the back part of the building behind the platform.

I stretched my arms to grab to something so that I can climb to the top of the building.

I am now at the top. The sword is nearing Luffy's neck. I hold my shoulder and stretched my arms, aiming for Red Nose.

I didn't manage to attack because a sudden flash of light blinded our eyes.

After the light disappeared, I immediately checked on Luffy. He's still alive!

"I'm still alive after all. I got lucky." Luffy said while smiling wide.

Red Nose is unconscious on the ground. He looks like he was burned? Toasted? Whatever, I couldn't care less.

I jumped and fell on the ground. Luffy's powers saved me from dying. I used his technique on where he sometimes use whenever we want to play him as a ball when we were younger (It's like inflating your body to be bouncy.).

The men already took care of the marines and pirates that wants to attack.

"Come on guys!" I said. The three of them are really shocked. They didn't expect me to be here since I told them I will stay on the Merry.

We all ran towards to where our boat is docked.

We are stopped by a short-haired woman.

"I'll collect your sword, the legendary Wado Ichimonji!" She said to Zoro.

"Try it." Zoro teased her and he smirked. I can't help but feel a small painful throb in my heart (A/N: oh really?🤓)

They pulled their swords and started to duel.

"You jerk! How dare you attack a lady!" Sanji commented.

"Please don't interfere! This is the fight between Roronoa Zoro and me! There's no need to step in!" The short-haired woman said.

"You heard her. Go on ahead." Zoro said.

"Let's go." Luffy told us and he pulled me while running.

But again, someone stopped us. This time it was a man who has a white hair. (A/N: Smoker! 😍)

"Didn't I tell you that you can't enter the Grandline unless you beat me first? You're such and airhead." He said.

"Go on, Sanji. Bring (Y/N) with you. Keep her safe." Luffy commanded Sanji.

Sanji did his part. He kept me safe by fighting all the marine that was on our way. I've also helped him but he insists that he can manage.

But he was overpowered by the marines when we arrived on the dock. Good thing Luffy held my hand while we're running a while ago.

"Gum-Gum..Pistol!" I attacked.

A strong green wind abruptly appeared, blowing us away.

Sanji was covering me from the woods and debris.

The wind slowly stopped. All of us are now completed in the dock except for Nami who is currently on the boat.

"We should hurry, Luffy." Sanji said.

"Okay!" Luffy replied. He stretched his arms and..."Ahhhhh!!!" We all shouted because we yeeted along with him.

•••

"Shall we hold a launching ceremony for setting sail on the great ocean?" Sanji said.

"Hey!/Sure!/Let's do it!" We all cheered.

Sanji put his heel on the top of the barrel.

"In order to find the All Blue!" He said.

"In order to be King of the Pirates!" Luffy.

"In order to become a master swordsman!" Zoro.

"In order to draw a world map!" Nami.

"In order...to become a brave warrior of the sea!" Usopp.

"In order to find the missing piece!" And lastly, me.
