~Chapter 18~


(Y/n)'s P.O.V

A whole week had passed since my encounter with the pirate Rocks D Xebec. Him staying with us made the whole ship more lively and active.

Xebec is a very trouble maker man. He always searching for trouble or causing problems. His personality and childish behavior is like Luffy's and Shanks's.

This whole week, I restarted my training with Shanks. When Xebec found out about me wanting to learn Haki, he offered his help, and I immediately accepted.

Learning from the two of them made me a lot stronger in such a short period. Shanks is a yonko. And Xebec is as strong as the pirate king.

I know I know. I'm a lucky girl.

Very lucky.

My two mentors decided to teach me first how to master Kenbunshoku Haki. I already know a thing or two from Shanks cause we trained a bit before meeting Xebec. So it wasn't that hard. For now I can sense people's presence around me.

Right now the crew were parting in a bar. Xebec's injuries we're completely healed so Shanks decided to celebrate and of course Rocks said yes.

Those two could find any excuse for them to have a nice meal and a strong drink...

Men these days...

Me being me, I sat next to Benn. Far away from the drunk crew, having a peaceful lunch together and ignoring their presence. "Thank God you didn't turn out to be like them." Benn pointed at the crew. "We don't have enough money to pay for all their drinks Benny." I pulled out the cigarette from his mouth and tossed it away. "So we'll pay our meal. get out of this bar, prepare the ship and wait for the crew. Good plan?" I whispered.

Benn nodded his head in agreement. "Let's head out then. We need to buy some supplies for the ship." We got up and called one of the waiters to pay. "Benny. Can I buy Ice cream? A reward for the plan?" I smiled innocently.

"Yes. We'll buy Ice cream." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we left the bar.

The island is known for its large number of inhabitants. Which means many shops and a large supermarket. In a short time we managed to buy what we want. (Ice cream included.) And headed back to the Red Force.

"Benn! If you can hear me prepare the ship to set sail!!" We heard the yellings of the lovely crew and saw them running to the ship, behind them were the waiters and the owner of the bar.

"Why are we even running? Let's just kill them." Xebec, who was running besides Shanks grabbed the redhead's pistol and was going to shoot their chasers down but Yassopp stopped him.

"I know we can take them out easily but it's quite fun running away from them too!" He hiccuped and almost fell on his face. "Reminds me of the good old days. " He then started laughing. "Did I told you about my only son Ussopp? He's a pirate like me too!"

"Yes and He's with (y/n) at the same crew. This is the seventh time today baka!" Xebec snapped. "Could you two shut up and keep running?!" The rest of the crew screamed at them to stop.

Once everyone reached the ship, they got in and we immediately set sail. Leaving behind us the angry waiters.

"That was fun!" Shanks grinned and harshly patted Rocks's shoulder. The man smirked in agreement.

"Why did you left us behind?!" The rest of the pirates snapped at us while glaring draggers. "We didn't have enough money. So we decided to buy supplies instead. No harm happened so don't get angry." I explained.

"Oh..." They calmed down and went back to their shores. Leaving only me, Benn, Xebec and Shanks.

"Benn, (y/n). Xebec here decided to stay with Big mom." Shanks broke the silence. My eyes widened at what he said. "Hey, I can talk for myself redhead!" Xebec smirked. "What he said is true. I want to stay with Linlin for a while. Maybe pay Kaido a visit." He said.

"So we're heading to Toto land? You know big mom will consider our unexpected visit an attack." Benn explained. "She's really aggressive." J added.

"That why I have this." Shanks pulled from under his cap a transport snail. "I got it. you'll call her but what about Xebec? How are you going to explain his sudden appearance after being 'dead' for over 40 years?" I crossed my arms over my chest then raised an eyebrow.

"Easy brat." Xebec Snickered. "I'll talk to her myself." He grinned. I sweatdropped and shook my head. "I won't ask any other questions because right now I'm having a headache from your stupidity." I growled.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to my room and call her!" Shanks said smiling. "Why are you even excited?" Benn asked sweatdropping as well. "I wanna see Big mom's reaction after finding out that her dear old captain is alive AND staying with me." He Snickered.

"Don't call me old Redhead!" Xebec yelled. "Oops, sorry! Hey, how old are you anyway?" Shanks tilted his head in a cute way. "45, you?" Rocks replied.

"Almost 39."

"I'm older than you by only 18 years!"

"Really? Cool!" The two laughed while punching each other around then entered Shanks's room.

"Benn... Is he really that awful at Maths. It's 6 years not 18." I sighed in defeat. "We're both more intelligent than those bunch of idiots." He sighed as well. "That was mean, but you're right Benny." I kissed his hand that was around my shoulder and we went inside to find them already dialing Big mom's number.

Purupurupuru.....

Purupurupuru....

Purupurupuru....

"Mamamamama! Who's the one calling me? You interrupted my tea party!" Big mom's high pitchy voice echoed in the room. I snickered and tried to stop myself from laughing.

"Fuck! I didn't hear your voice in ages!" Rocks said. "Long time no seen Lin! I'm sure you missed your old Captain huh? Bahahaha!" Xebec laughed. There was a dead silence from the other line. It was kinda scary.

"... You can't be him...." Big mom's cold tone broke the deadly silence. "Captain is dead... You're not him!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. I can hear the crashing sound of plates and cups in the background, along with the yellings of her children.

I'm pretty sure she's destroying the tea party now. Good job Xebec.

"Lin! Calm down!" Xebec continued laughing. "I Know it sounds crazy but it's really me. Remember that time when we dyed Kaido's hair in pink? Or that time when we attacked Marijoie and you stole all their woman's jewelleries? It's really me Lin. I disappeared 40 years ago after my fight with Roger because I somehow time travelled to this time. The Yonko Shanks took care of me after being saved." Xebec sighed . "It really me Lin-Doll... That the nickname I gave you the first time we met remember?"

By the time Rocks finished. Big mom was a crying mess. She was sobbing and hiccuping which I'm pretty sure confused her children. One moment she's ready to destroyed the whole place the next she's on the ground crying like a little girl who lost her favourite doll.

"C-Captain.. i-is it really you?" Linlin hiccuped. "Yes Lin it's me." Xebec smiled sadly when he heard her crying even more. "I-I'm confused!" She cried.

"I know. Lin calm down." Xebec Waited few minutes for her to take a breath then he continued. "Right now me and Shanks's crew are heading to Toto land so that I can meet you. Isn't that great?"

"Really?! You're coming Captain?!" Big mom yelled happily. "I'll prepare a whole party ready for you Cap! We can eat cake and drink tea the whole day like before!!" She giggled like a teenage school girl.

At the corner of my eye I can see Shanks trying to breath from how hard he's laughing. And I really can't help him. It's just so hilarious!

One moment she's angry, the next she's crying. Free minutes later she's happy and rainbows and unicorns.

"You'll bring Shanks with you right? I must thank him myself for saving your life!" She said happily. "Yes. He's coming as well. But..." Xebec looked at me and grinned. This is not good.

"Don't try anything idiot!" I hissed. "Too late~" He whispered back.

"Lin-Doll, Someone else saved my life. When I time travelled, I found myself injured and bleeding out. They treated my injuries and brought me to Shanks's ship." He explained smirking.

I gasped in horror and while Benn eyed me in pity and Shanks covered his mouth and snickered. "Mamamamaman who's he Captain?" Big mom asked in excitement.

"Now that's my surprise for you. I'll bring him with me to Toto land. And there you'll meet my Savior~" Xebec laughed.

"Mamamamama! I'll wait for you then!" With that Xebec finished his call, then turned around grinning like the stupid person he is. Shanks fell from his chair laughing while Benn shook his head at his Captain's behavior.

"You're an idiot you know that Xebec?" I smiled sweetly at him.

"Boss!" There was knocking on the door and seconds later Yassopp entered. "We're already close to Toto land, we'll reach our destination by tommorow." He said.

"That's good!" Shanks smiled. "Why don't we use the free time and train you a bit hmm?" He ruffled my hair. "Yes please! Let's start now!" I grabbed Shanks's arm and dragged him outside.
