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

Three days later...

"You can stay with me here until we meet up with The crew you know... You don't have to go with the yonko." Zoro mumbled under his breath.

"I can't, He's already here. Waiting for me downstairs." I replied grabbing my bag.

Zoro huffed in agitation and looked away but I can see how sad he is. I shook my head and smiled at the swordman. "Zoro. Shanks will destroy the island if I won't go back with him." I said patting his head.

"You should be happy with me leaving. You'll be able to train with Mihawk without me interrupting. " I chuckled and ruffed his hair. "Next time we meet, I want my first mate to be the strongest. Don't disappoint me." I caressed his cheek softly with my hand. "One day, you'll be the greatest swordman and kick Mihawk's ass. I'm pretty sure about this. Because you're Roronoa Zoro. Because you're a legend. Don't forget that."

Zoro was looking down the whole time I spoke. He started blankly at the ground. "(Y/n)..." He mumbled. "(Y/n)..." He said again and In an instant, I found myself in two pairs of strong arms. Zoro hugged me tightly. He was shaking a bit and breathing heavily. I rubbed his back softly and let him cry on my shoulder.

"I swear (y/n)... I'll become the greatest swordman in the whole world. It's a promise..."

"I Know. I know." I pulled away and wiped his tears. "I'll miss you Baka." I smirked.

"I'll miss you too witch." He smirked back and grabbed my bag. From my hand.  "By the way, you smell so damn good Zoro." I smirked slyly.

".... J-just g-go.. the Yonko is waiting." Zoro blushed deep red and punched me outside the room. I laughed and went dowstairs. Damn, I'll miss this place a lot. 

"Wah! (Y/n)!" Perona jumped on me giving me a bone crashing hug. I gasped in shock and tried punching her away.

"I-i'll miss you so much." She cried.

"Hey! Step away! You'll kill my sweetheart!" A very familiar voice yelled. I looked behind her and saw Shanks standing next to Mihawk.

"Shanks!" I smiled, happy to see him again. Perona finally pulled away.

"(Y/n)! My dear! Missed you so much!" Shanks laughed ruffling my head. "me too idiot." I replied.

"The crew is waiting for us. Let's go." Shanks took the bag from Zoro and went outside, he looked behind him expecting me to follow him but instead he found me hugging Mihawk and the said swordman hugging me back, his hand on my back .

Hands... Back...

Hands... Back...

Back....

Hands...

Hands....

Hands....

Mihawk's hands....

his hands....

HIS HANDS...

something inside Shanks snapped and he found himself in front of his rival. He glared at him, pulled me away and dragged me outside.

"U-um! Thanks guys for Everything!" I waved at them and looked back at Shanks. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Oh, it's nothing dear." He gave his signature smile and continued walking.

He's angry, I'm pretty sure about this. But why?  "So, how was the meeting?" I quickly changed the subject.

"It was great." Was his answer. He's hiding something, yes. But what? What's wrong with him?

I'll ask Benn later...

"(Y/N) CHAN!!!" The yellings coming from the Red Force snapped me out of my thoughts. I saw the crew crying and waving at me. I awkwardly waved back.

"Hold on ." Shanks said and with his one arm, picked me up. I quickly grabbed his neck. Shanks jumped up to the ship. The crew cheered when he landed.

"Oh wow Shanks, You're pretty strong for an old man." I said laughing, the others heard what I said and laughed as well.

"Oh you saw nothing." He replied, putting me down. The yonko turned around and was going to walk away but I grabbed his coat and dragged him to his room.

"What's wrong dear?" Shanks sat down on his office confused. "...Can you train me?" I asked. "I want to get stronger. I can't survive the new world like this. I don't want to hold back my crew. Hell! I don't even know how to use haki. Please Shanks, be my mentor."

Shanks looked at me for a few minutes, then he sighed. "... (Y/n), come here." I did what he told me and stood in front of him. Shanks picked me up and put me on his lap. I blushed a bit in embarrassment and looked away.

"When I found out you become a pirate, I was angry and worried. You're a gentle soul (y/n). This life doesn't sweet you. You care about everyone and put your life in danger in order to protect your nakama. I don't want to see you hurt or sad..." He took and deep breath and chuckled. "... I'll train you. But this time I won't hold back and I won't be gentle."

"Really?! You'll do it?!" He nodded his head in agreement. "Thank you so much Shanks!" I hugged the redhead and kissed his cheek. He hugged back, pulling me closer to his chest.

We stood like that for minutes. No one tried to broke the hug. I closed my eyes and relaxed in his embrace.

Heh, I'm really blessed.

"(Y/n)..." I heard the yonko mumbling under his breath. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. Our eyes made contact and I felt this weird feeling in my chest. Shanks's grey eyes were soft. Filled with love and affection. He always looks at me like this. I really love his look. It makes me feel safe.

I didn't notice that Shanks was pulling me more closer to him. His face was inches away from mine.

I closed my eyes in embarrassment and took a deep breath. Is this really happening? Why is he doing this? Why am I doing this? Why it feels right? So many questions and no answers.

something warm and wet on my neck snapped me out of my thoughts. I couldn't help moen a bit. "Shanks..." I said breathlessly.

The man ignored me and continued kissing my neck. I moened again, this time louder and gasped when his lovely kisses became rougher.

My face now will put Shanks's hair in shame. I hold my breath and closed my eyes tightly. Few minutes later, Shanks pulled away and smiled proudly at his art. My neck by now was covered in hiccups and small bite marks.

"You baka!" I punched his chest repeatedly. "Why did you do that?!" I screamed hiding my face with my hands.

"I'm not old (y/n)." He said. "I get jealous and angry when a man touchs what is mine. That's why I didn't want you to become a pirate. Men will try to use your innocence against you. But don't worry, I won't let them." Shanks chuckled. He went to his closet and pulled a red scraf. "Put this on." He gave it to me and went to the door. "Tommorow, we'll start training at 5 am." Was what he said before leaving.

I started in shock at the door then at the scarf. Oh my God...What the hell just happened...?
