~Chapter 15~
(Y/n)'s P.O.V
Rocks D Xebec.
The man that supposed to be dead, is now laying in front of me, on the ground, bleeding out.
I tightened my grip on the first aid kit. Tears of frustration we're at the corner of my eye. I can't cry. Not now (y/n).
What should I do? Should I let him die here or should I stop his bleeding?
He's a killer, a man who destroyed many islands and took many innocent lives. I must let him die. So that I can free the world from his evil presence.
... Now I sound like Akainu...
Deep down, I can't let someone die. I'm not a killer. I'm not a murderer. I'm not cold-hearted. I'm not him.
My head hurts from all the thinking and I should choose what to do quickly because he's loosing a lot of blood.
What should I do?! God please help me make a decision!
"Help him."
I gasped and looked around. I didn't hear that voice since that night with Doflamingo.
"Help him."
I looked back at Rocks D Xebec and sighed. "Here goes nothing...." I sat down next to his wound and put alcohol on some cotton and began cleaning the wound. The man's moened in pain but thankfully didn't get up. What a relief.
I injected him with some painkillers and began sewing his wound. Zack, The crew's doctor taught me a few things here and there. I always carry with.me the first aid kit just in case.
Half an hour later, after making sure that the wound is completely closed, I cleaned it. Then, I carefully moved the unconscious pirate around to wrap a bandage around his stomach.
After that, I went to clean the little bruises on his body, I began with the ones on his arms then the others on his chest. After making sure that they're all treated I began tending a bruise on his left cheek.
Should I leave him here or take him with me back to the red Force? What if Shanks found out about him being the Rocks D Xebec? What would I say?
No, Shanks doesn't know about him because he didn't join the pirate king's crew when that fight happened. Hell, Roger was just a rookie when all that mess-
My thoughts got interrupted when a hand grabbed my wrist and harshly pulled me to the ground, then I felt the cold metal of a knife gazing my neck and rapid hot breaths on my face.
I carefully looked up and found Rocks D Xebec on top of me. I ignored the fact that he's threatening me with a knife and looked at his face with a calm expression.
If I showed him that I'm not threat then he'll calm down.
His sharp gaze glared at me for a few seconds until he harshly asked. "Who the fuck are you?!"
I wasn't surprised a bit after hearing his voice. It was just like I imagined.
"My name is (y/n)." I replied. "I found you laying under this tree bleeding out so I treated your wounds."
Xebec didn't move a muscle and continued glaring draggers at me, then he looked at his bandaged hands and stomach. His eyes widened in realization then he looked back at my eyes. His expression was unreadable.
Xebec slowly moved the knife away and got up while eyeing me with suspicious.
"I was having a heart attack when you you jumped on me." I nervously laughed and got up. He didn't reply and continued looking at me seriously.
"Why?" He broke the awkward silence with his question. "Why did you help me? You know who I am right?"
"I know, You're Rocks D Xebec. And I helped you because you was bleeding to death." I replied. "I can't let a person die can I?"
"..." Xebec took a step closer and was now towering over me. He was super tall and that makes him more intimating, and scary. "What do you want from me?" He snapped.
"Hey dude! Is this how you thank someone who saved your sorry ass?" I snapped back. I know that was a bad idea but I'm already late to take back what I said. When I saw his face becoming redder from anger, I quickly added.
"I don't care who you are, a pirate or not: when I found someone in need, I help. When someone is in trouble, I help. When someone is dying. I help. So stop glaring draggers at me and follow me. My friend's ship is not too far from here. You can rest there. I'm sure he won't mind." I grabbed Xebec's wrist and gently pulled him with me, making sure not to put any pressure on his bruises.
Thankfully, the man didn't say anything and began following me back to the Red Force. The walk was awkward. With me walking rather slowly so the injured pirate can match my steps. I'm thankful he didn't stop me or try anything.
"You're taking back with you a dangerous pirate. For all you know, I can easily kill everyone and steal your ship to get out of this miserable island." Xebec growled after mentioning the last part.
"With that injury on your stomach and those bruises on the rest of your body... I don't think so." I laughed a bit. "Besides, you can't even beat a Yonko." I explained.
"A yonko?" Xebec looked down with a confused expression. "Yup, the 4 yonkos: Big mom, Kaido, Shanks and finally Whitebeard who died a year ago." I explained.
The man stopped walking and the two of us made an eye contact. His were wide open. "Edward is dead?" He whispered.
"... Yeah, A year ago..." I said. ".... Who killed him!? Roger or That marine rookie Garp?!" Xebec grabbed his wound painfully. "Answer me!"
"No! They didn't..." I replied. "What... What was the last thing you remember before passing out?" I asked.
Rocks grinned like a crazy man then began laughing.
"I was fighting the two D's. Gol D Roger and Monkey D Garp. I got this wound from Roger's sword. And I think I passed out from blood loose to wake up on this island. I tried finding a way out but apparently I reopened my wound and fell back unconscious, until you found me." He said. "If none of those two killed my crew member. Then who?"
"Xebec. I know it sounds creepy and all. But please hear me out to the end and... Try to believe me." I took a deep breath and looked up at his face.
"Your fight with Roger and Garp happened around 40 years in the past. Gol D Roger died 21 years ago, and in that period Whitebeard, Kaido and big mom became yonkos and I think Shiki got caught by the Marines later and escaped impel down. Many things happen and a lot of strong pirates appeared and began traveling the seas to find Raftel, an island at the end of the grand line where Gol D Roger put his treasure the 'One piece' there and however finds it will become the Pirate king." I tried explaining to him in the best way possible. "A big war between pirates and Marines happened a year ago, and Whitebeard died there... Protecting my brother, who died as well." I took a deep breath sighing.
"I think You time travelled to the future Xebec."
