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

"Is she still spying on us?" Katakuri whispered. Me, still sitting on his shoulder looked behind me and saw Pudding hiding behind a cupcake shop.

"...yup." I whispered back. "What's wrong with her anyway? I hate it when someone stalking me. It's creepy."

"She's just curious. It's not everyday I let someone sit on my shoulder." He joked. I looked back at her and saw her glaring  at me.

"Ignore her." Katakuri put his large hand on my legs. "Let's continue our tour. There's a lot of things I didn't show you yet (y/n)-chan." He blushed under his scraft.

Me on the other hand was trying not to act like a crazy high school girl and freak out Katakuri.

He's so cute! He's so sweet! I want to cuddle with him for the rest of my life!

"Of course Kata-chan!" I giggled blushing as well. He nodded his head and continued walking around the town. 

Meanwhile, Charlotte Pudding was still following her big brother and the mysterious girl she saw walking with Red Hair pirates. One of her younger  brothers said that she's a pirate and one of the worst generation with a bounty of 600,000,000.

What the hell a little rookie like her wants from the golden boy of the Charlotte family? Why is she staying with red hair Shanks?

"I'm gonna figure you out..." Pudding said with venom while smirking darkly.

****

"Where the hell is she..." Shanks mumbled while searching for me around the chateau along with Oven and Cracker.

"Akagame, the door said that she went to check on our brother Katakuri." Oven said, a suspicious look on his face. "I don't know what she's trying to do but if something wrong happened... Then you're all in a lot of troubles. Don't try angering Mama Akagame." He said.

Shanks chuckled. Then he started laughing out loud. "I'm not a dirty man who attack others from behind. If I want to attack big mom, then you'll be all dead by now. So don't you dare anger me pirate. I'm in a very bad mood now. So I suggest you back off."

Cracker and Oven took a step back in fear and nodded their heads, deciding not to anger the yonko.

"Oh, Hello Shanks!" The redhead heard a very familiar voice and all his worries vanished immediately. "(Y/n)! Sweetheart where were you?!" I felt myself being crushed in a bone-breaking hug. Gasping for air, I punched Shanks away. Kata-chan caught me before I fell on the ground.

"Katakuri!" Oven and Cracker went to their brother. "What happened?" They asked him. Shanks finally noticed the giant in front of him. "Where were you (y/n)? We didn't find you in Katakuri's room, what were you doing there anyway? I told you to stay near me and to not leave the party!" He scolded. I felt the other two Charlotte eyes glaring at me. I looked up at them and smirked then grabbed Katakuri's giant hand in mine. The man blushed and adjusted his scraft to hide his red face.

"Kata-chan showed me around. Toto land is so beautiful! We had a lot of fun!" I laughed, then smirked in victory when I saw the dumbfounded look on the three man's faces. "And by the way..." I turned to Oven and Cracker who were looking at us with a shocked look. "Tell your sister Pudding to mind her own business and to stop stalking us around. For God's sake. She followed us the whole time which is creepy. Another thing, if she dares using her Devil fruit power on me and try playing with my memories, then I'm gonna be mad as hell and I won't hesitate in harming her. Do I make myself clear?" I said sweetly.

Oven and Cracker looked at each other for a few seconds then down at me and nodded their heads. "Good!" I jumped and began dragging Katakuri with me. "We're going back to the party!" I waved at them and walked away, Katakuri following behind me.

"Hey! (Y/n) wait!" Shanks yelled and ran towards us. Leaving behind two dumfounded male Charlottes.

"... I can't believe it... What did she do to our brother?"

****

"Mamamama! So you went to get my Golden Son!" Big mom laughed when me, Katakuri and Shanks entered the dining room. Oven and Cracker following behind us.

"Oh~ what were you doing? Hanging out with Katakuri huh~? Bahahaha!" Xebec teased. I ignored him and walked to my chair. I jumped in it and cleared my through.

"Please, I need everyone's attention!" I yelled. In a few seconds, everyone stopped what they were doing and glanced at me. Some confused and overs irritated for being interrupted.

"Me and Katakuri became friends." I said out loud. Everyone gasped in shock and disbelieve. Some of Katakuri's siblings began protesting and insulting me. Even The red Hair pirates were shocked as well.

Katakuri blushed deep red and pulled his scraft up. Xebec grinned, enjoying the unexpected turn of events while big mom didn't say anything or even react. But it's clear that she's surprised.

"I don't care what you all think! Katakuri is my friend and no one can change this!" I yelled. Them turned to big mom. "I'm asking you to give me the permission to enter Toto land so that I can visit my friend from time to time. You know that I'm a pirate and I can't live here. I have a crew waiting for me and I won't even think of abandoning  them. Please big mom, just give me your permission, if you really want the happiness for your child." I gave the giant mom a pleading look and waited for her response.

"..." Linlin eyed me for a while. I was on edge and impatiently waited. Suddenly, she grinned and started laughing out loud, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"MAMAMAMAMA!!!"

Katakuri looked at his mother and saw the excited look in her eyes. Using his Kenbunshoku haki to have a look at the future. He gasped and smiled widely.

'Thank you.' He thought

"You're really a brave girl! Okay. I'll give you my permission to visit Toto land. Such a shame your not a part of my family..." She grinned even more. Xebec glanced at her with a disapproving look. "Don't start it Lin-Doll." He warned.

"And why not? She's brave, strong and beautiful." She eyed me with a hungry look. "She'll be a good addition to the family, Captain!" She laughed.

What is she talking about? I'm so confused and a bit scared. I glanced at Shanks and saw the angry look on his face. Does he know what she's talking about?

I looked at the crew and saw them glaring at Big mom, even Benn for God's sake! Sometimes, I wish I wasn't stupid...

"I don't care. You won't do it. That's an order from your Captain." Xebec said. "Don't get on my bad side Linlin."

Big mom finally stopped eyeing me with her creepy look and sighed. "Okay, I won't." Wow, Xebec hold all control on Big mom. Thank goodness he's my buddy.

Shanks calmed down a bit and walked back to his seat. The atmosphere was still awkward but slowly, the guests went back to what they were doing and decided to ignore what happened a while ago, But I can still feel them staring at me and Katakuri...

(Y/n) ignore them. All that matters is being with Katakuri. He won't be lonely anymore. He has me now.

"Thank you." He softly patted my head. His tone was soft and happy. I glanced at him and saw the tears at the corner of his eyes.

All this years, Katakuri dreamed of having a friend by his side. A friend who accepts him for who he is. Someone he can share his donuts with. It was his only dream and day after day,  he began loosing hope. 

And after 47 years, he finally has this special person...

I smiled at him and grabbed his hand. I'll do anything to this giant. Anything to make him happy. He's my nakama. He's my family. And family means no one left behind nor forgotten.  "No, Thank you..." I replied smiling. Flashbacks of his past appeared in my head. The beating, the insults, the loneliness. The sadness.

I'll help him. I'll help anyone who suffers in this world. That's why I'm here. "... for being my friend."

Katakuri caressed my hands with his fingers. The smile never leaving his face.  One simple word and he felt all his darkness disappear. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes...

And one, lone tear fell on his pale cheek.
