[~Help Me~] One Piece X Reader Fanfiction

~Chapter 17~

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

"Hey Xebec, can I ask you something?"

"You ask a lot of questions brat."

"Hmm." I huffed while eating a pancake. It's already morning. The crew is up and active. no one barged in or tried to attack Xebec. I can hear some of the them walking around the ship and doing whatever. Maybe they're cleaning  after the party.

I got up early, around 4 am and went to Shanks's room, stole some of his clothes for Rocks to wear and prepared breakfast for the crew, then grabbed two plates and went back to the infirmary.

To my surprise, I found the infamous pirate already up. I gave him his plate and clothes and he thanked me by ruffling my hair.

After he changed, we sat down and had our breakfast while making small talk here and there. Which lead us to this very moment.

"It's only a simple question..." I made a small pout, using my puppy eyes didn't work on him. He said that a certain female in his crew always using that trick to get something, and after loosing almost all his treasure for her shoppings, he learned from that mistake.

"That won't work either." He chuckled. "But you can ask your stupid question."

"Yay!" I cheered, ignoring the last part. All the night, I kept thinking about it and couldn't have my beauty sleep.

"Xebec. Please answer me with honesty." I said rather serious. The said man stopped eating and nodded his head.

....

"Was Katakuri cute as a child?" Xebec brust out laughing after hearing my question. I glared at him, offended for laughing at me.

"I-I-" He gasped for air. "Is this really the question that you badly want me to answer?!"

"Yes please! I really want to know if he was adorable! I think he was. Because now he's such a softie and donut lover. That makes him cute in my eyes." I blushed and giggled, imagining Katakuri wearing a Donut costume...

"Bahahaha!" Xebec laughed. "If you really want to know then yes. He was kinda cute I guess." His answer made me jump on my bed blushing.

"Ahm." A cough coming from Zack who entered the room snapped me from my daydreaming. "Morning Zack! any headaches?" I greeted him.

"Morning as well (y/n) and yes. The whole crew are in a bad mood today." I greeted back and went to Xebec while holding his head.

"Expect Benn." I whispered under my breath.

"Morning Sir." He politely greeted his patient. "Yo." Was Xebec's reply. "I'm gonna check your wounds and then give you the painkillers. So stay still." Zack carefully pulled all Rock's bandages. Then he checked the wounds while commenting on Xebec's fast healing. Then he injected the painkillers and put some new bandages.

"That's all for now." Zack got up and went to the bathroom to clean the blood from his hands. "Shanks is waiting for you two in the mess hall." He shouted. "He's in a bad mood today so I suggest you go to him as fast as possible."

I sighed in defeat and go up from the bed. "Okay." I mumbled. Xebec watched my defeated state with a smirk. "Already tired from the loooooooong explanation?" He teased. "Shut up and let's go." I snapped.

The two of us left the infirmary. Me still wearing my cute pyjamas while Xebec was wearing a red T-shirt with black shorts and brown sandals.

On our way to the mess hall, some of the Shanks men greeted us... Or rather me. They were glaring draggers at Xebec. Their expected reaction amused the pirate a lot. "Some overprotective men they are." He chuckled.
