~Chapter 23~
Thank you Reizen193BlackAce for this beautiful fanart~
(Y/n)'s P.O.V
The next morning
"(Y/n)-chan ... Thank you so much." Katakuri blushed deep red when I handed him the Donuts I've prepared with Xebec yesterday. We had a lot of fun baking them. We almost burn the whole kitchen. Ah, the poor head chef... He almost had a heart attack.
Imagine what will happen when Big Mom wakes up and finds her kitchen burning...
....
....
I'm such an idiot....
I decided to ignore my stupid, silly thoughts and went to help Shanks's crew. They're preparing the ship and stocking it with different supplies. The journey is a long one and there's a possibility that we won't find any island on our way.
While helping a Red Hair rookie, I glanced at the giant ship beside the Red Force. Katakuri said he owns it. He decided to go with us so that he can bring back Xebec with him after visiting Whitebeard's grave. Perospero, the oldest son of the Charlotte's family is going with him. I didn't have the opportunity to talk with the guy and I'm quite thankful. He creeps me out with his long tongue and all, especially his look: each time he looks at my direction, I feel unconformable.
I didn't see Benn from yesterday which is weird. He usually stays near Shanks to stop the idiot from causing troubles.
So where's him?
I glanced at the drunk Redhead and saw him giggling with a light blush on his face. He somehow saw me looking at him so he got up and ran towards me. "My beautiful sweetheart! You look lovely today!" He giggled.
What the fuck Shanks? It's still morning and you're already drunk?
"Hi Shanks." I sighed. "Did you see Benn around?" I asked him. "Why are you asking about him? You have me!" He pouted. "I'm more sexier than him." He childishly crossed his arms and looked away. He is kinda cute when he acts like that, like a little child.
I chuckled at my silly thoughts and patted his head. "You're way better than him Shanks." I laughed at his satisfied look. Hey don't get me wrong! Benn is always my favorite. It's just one simple lie. No one is gonna find out. "I'm just worried about him. I didn't see the man around."
"He's talking with Xebec." He replied. "He'll be back before we set sail." I nodded my head. I can't help my curiosity. I want to know what they're talking about. Maybe I'll use plan B to get some information from Benn.
"Boss! we have everything! We're ready to set sail!" Yassopp called from crew nest. "That was quick!" Shanks grinned. "Call Benn and tell him we're ready!" He shouted. "Roger that!" Yassopp replied.
Meanwhile, Perospero walked next to Katakuri to the Sweet Commander's ship. He stopped for a second to glance behind him and went back to his younger brother's side.
Using his observation Haki, Katakuri could sense the confusion and suspicion coming from the oldest Charlotte. He already knows what it's cause but he decided to ignore it.
(Y/n) means no harm. She'll never, ever hurt anyone.
Shaking his head, he turned around and walked to his sleeping quarters. Looking down at the Donuts box he smiled.
"Kata-chan! Thank you so much for loving me~!" My little Donut said blushing. I picked her up with one arm while the other pulled down my scraf and kissed her.
"I'll love you forever my Little Donut~ heheheh~"
~Back to the redhead idiot and his silly followers~
"What took you so long?" I crossed my arms and playfully glared at a smiling Benn Beckman. "You didn't change your son's diapers!" I pointed at Shanks. "You kept running away from your responsibilities and I can't take it anymore." I walked to him and dramatically fell in his arms. "Divorce me!"
"Why should I divorce such a beautiful wife?" Benn smirked and glanced at a crying Shanks. "Stop being a creybaby Captain. We're just joking here."
"He's drunk Benn." I sighed. "Let just take him to his room."
Benn grabbed the drunk pirate and put him on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes then we went inside the red Force and straight to the Captain's room.
"By the way, where's Xebec?" I asked once I've noticed that he's not here. "He'll stay in the other ship. We'll reach the island in two weeks ." Benn replied.
"Wow, a long journey..." I opened the bedroom's door and stepped aside so Benn can walk in. "(Y/n), tell the crew to set sail. Big Mom already ordered the others to do as well."
"Isn't she coming with us?" I asked. Oh God, I don't want her to come. I don't know how I survived those two days and I don't want to spent any moment near here... At all...
"She won't come. That's why she sent her oldest son with us." Benn replied. He carefully put his already sleeping Captain on his bed. Aw~ you're such a Mama material Benny~!
"You're really the mother of the crew Benny." I giggled and quickly left the room to order the crew to set sail.
"Yes (y/n)-chan~!" They replied blushing and giggling like some teenagers in highschool.
Huh, I have a long journey ahead of me with this crazy crew.
****
T. I. M. E. S. K. I. P.
I slowly walked outside the Red Force by myself, Holding two beautiful flowers. I decided to wear a simple black dress and let my hair down.
Finally we reached our destination. Those two weeks were long. And I enjoyed every single moment with those bunch of crazy pirates.
I glanced at Katakuri's battle ship and saw Xebec walking towards me by himself. The others decided to stay inside and give us some privacy.
"Ready brat?" Rocks grinned. I slowly nodded my head. "I'm ready..." I whispered. Taking one last glance at the two ships, we walked away from the beach and to where the two graves of Whitebeard and Ace are located.
Truly, Words can't describe how much beautiful the island is. Xebec, who was walking beside me was in awe. I already know the place since I watched One Piece several times. But seeing it up close is manifesting.
We walked for some minutes until we reached the two graves at the top of a hill. The bigger one belongs to the strongest human in the world Edward Newgate and the smaller one belongs to My older brother Portgas D Ace.
The graves of the two pirates were beside each other. Flowers of all different kinds and colors were around them.
Back at my world, I admired Ace a lot. He is actually my favourite character so far. And it hurted me greatly when he died in the War of best. He suffered a lot in his childhood, thinking that no one loves him, thinking that he's a monster for being the only child of Gol D Roger.
At least he died happy..
Whitebeard was a good father figure. He loved his sons and took care about them. He sacrificed his life and ditched everything behind to save his children. He's a honored man and I respect him a lot.
"(Y/n)!" The annoying voice of Xebec broke my thoughts. "Are you going to stand there all day brat?!" He snapped.
"Oh hush!" I gave him the middle finger and hurried to the two graves.
