|The Unlucky| [One Piece x Reader]

6

Everything happened so fast to you, like a time-lapse.

Everyone moved around you at immense speeds as you clutched your heart, your forehead making contact with the floor as you sat on your knees.

The last thing you knew, was that Franky picked you up, rushing to leave as Lucci reached out for you. He was quickly hit by luffy, then everything faded into black once more.

You stood quietly, facing the purple entity. The devil inside of you.

"I didn't want this." You said, "I was stronger without you."

"Thats the point, isn't it?" They spoke, grinning that murky, slimy grin.

"No, they wanted me to be stronger. They always have." You whispered, and crossed your arms.

"Then stronger you can be, you just have to accept the fact I'm here, and we can be just fine together." The little devil cackled.

"No, I'm stronger than you, and you will listen to me." You stood your ground, glaring at the monster.

"You aren't nearly strong enough to have mastery over a devil-fruit such as this one, you need more practice. Until then, I'm gonna have as much fun as I want, smartass." They cackled.

"And don't forget about the deal you made, sweetie."

You crossed your arms as the tar-like figure danced around you, some tar connecting with your skin.

"If I take control, then we can save everyone here! The buster call IS on its way here after all."

"I'll think about it." You whispered, and sat down in the corners of your mind, your eyes closing.

"I don't want to make anymore mistakes, tar." You said, and looked over, "youre already fighting something as it is."

They chuckled, and sat next to you. "It only lurks in your dreams, you'll be fine." It...reassured you.

You smiled, "im sorry you have to have someone like me."

"You're difficult, I like it." They cackled, "you need to accept the fact you ate my fruit though, that's your first step....then, tell your friends, they deserve to know, you've been traveling with them for some time, and they didn't even know you could fight!"

"Why- are we having this conversation?"

"I don't know, pep talk?"

The two of you began to laugh. You really did match with the little devil, and boy, you did it well.

"I want to train here." You said suddenly.

"It would put you in a coma if you stay here."

"Im all for it."

"Well, alright, I guess I can train you."

You smiled, and nodded, "thank you. Can't wait to learn from the little devil themselves."

You stood up, "im gonna go...retrieve something first."

"Just say you want to visit a memory damnit." They grumbled.

You sighed, and then immediately perked up, running to go look at some memories.

You marvled at this wonderful place filled with won-

You shuffled past the box labeled 'recessed memories'

This was such a wonderful place. God you wanted to stay here forever man.

looked around, and rubbed the back of your head, "welp, guess i better find some old Shanks memories." You chuckled.

You really got to it.

[Sorry the chapter is so short, I just felt like it really needed to end here, so yeah.

OOOOoo you have a DF, which was honestly something I wasn't going to do, but hey, plot armor ig.

And my headcannon, your little devil can talk to you, only if you haven't awakened your true abilities. I think once you awaken it, you mend with your little devil, and become one with eachother. Also the little devil is  Non-bianary.]
