Figuring it Out [Whitebeard Pirates x Child? Reader]

20. Family!

-June 2cnd

M/n looked at himself in the mirror, Frowning. He looked at his scared arms, every single one a piece of what he used to have. Sticking his arm out, clenching his fist, Smiling to himself. Looking over and frowning at all of the books sitting on his desk. His mother was going to send him to a Private school...where he had to wear a uniform and couldn't have long hair.

Putting on his school uniform he walked out of his bathroom. Shrugging and putting his hair into a Neat bun. Grabbing his books from his desk and stuck them in the school bag that was prepared for him. His bedroom door opened to Reveal Toby in his little school uniform.

"U-Hmm..m-mom- mom left already..." Toby swallowed thickly. 

"Then let's get a move on" M/n tried to stay positive despite his more naturally bitter personality.

Toby nodded, grabbing his brother's hand, walking out of the home, and... Ditching the black Limo. Toby began to panic, M/n saw this and scooped his brother up. Setting him on his back. Running from the panicking servants. Putting power into his step he tried to speed up. frowning when he remembered he had that stupid bracelet on. Lifting his brother into the air he tossed Toby over the gate. His brother screaming a bit.

M/n stopped, backing up before starting to run at the wall, Climbing it quickly and jumping over. Leaving his bag on the other side. Picking his brother back out of the bush he started back off. Toby clutched onto M/ns school jacket.

"W-We can't Skip!! Mo-Mom is gonna get mad!" Toby whimpered

"Good!" M/n responded, "Plus I've got a couple of errands to run!" M/n snickered

M/n knew full well that his errands would take the whole day...

====
STOP ONE

M/n set Toby down, Telling him to wait in the nearby alley and stay put. Toby nodded, M/n walked into the sketchy store, walking about 30 minutes later... Without the bracelet.

"A-Ah! M/n! Mom spent a Ton of money on that!" Toby looked frightened

M/n lifted a brow, "Listen, Toby. I'm actively trying to provoke her... So, If you truly don't want to be a part of it, Tell me where your school is. I'll drop you off." 

"...It's Marinite Private academy..."

M/n nodded, putting his brother back on his back. Feeling the rush of electricity run through his bones, taking a few steps back he sped off. Making it to the Posh military school in no time. Waving goodbye to Toby as one of the Teachers took him inside. M/n looked down at his phone. seeing the familiar glitched-out number...

Declining the call he began to walk to his next destination, Though was stopped by quite a few police cars. about 6 miles away from Toby's school.

"Shit..." M/n grumbled. He wasn't prepared for what was about to happen.

"So you thought I wouldn't keep an eye on you! HA!" Arulia chuckled, "How stupid... Instead of my usual punishment... Which I assume is what you were trying to go for... I'll give you one more chance before I do to you what I told toby I'd do to him." Arulia checked her nails for any chips or marks

M/n tensed, "And what would that be..."

Arulia scoffed, sending M/n out of her office. M/n was confused... what was she going to do... His mother used to use brute force to get what she wanted...such as physical abuse... He'd have to ask Toby about it later. M/n opened the door to his room...Seeing the work he was supposed to get done before dinner. This...This was going to be a while. M/n plopped down at his desk and began to review things he already knew. Revising some of the work and learning new things as well. It should have been summer for him but of course, his mother wanted custody of him.

Most likely only for the publicity. He could imagine the headline his mother was looking for.

Mother and Son Reunited! A Chevotet Miracle!

M/n gagged at the thought. Deciding to focus on his work...

Hours had passed and it was around 4 pm. He heard the Limo pull back up. Toby must've been home. M/n stood up and looked out his window... Seeing an unfamiliar man step out of the car. M/n couldn't get a good look at his face because his eyes immediately went to Toby who was holding his hand.

M/n stepped away from his desk. leaving his room, seeing a strange tall man enter the home. He seemed to be missing a hand too...M/n froze, slowly retreating into his room. Oh, this wasn't good, If he was here that meant He'd tell Mingo and Mingo wouldn't be here for any of it. Despite M/n not liking Mingo one bit, Mingo seemed to think that they were a family of sorts... Meaning Mingo would go to great lengths just to see that M/n was...Safe. 

And If Mingo knew anything of his mother's reputation... He'd know that in no way was M/n safe... Toby knocked on the door, M/n let him in quickly.

"W-Who's the Guy?" M/n mumbled

"Ah, He's just here for a trade with Mom, He comes by often, They're business partners!"

"Oh...Okay, He doesn't live here?"

"Nope, Though Mom likes him a lot..."

M/n brushed a hand through his hair. If His mother was in the underground like he was starting to suspect. That meant if she had dealt with Croco, She knew about Mingo... This... This could be used to his advantage... M/n wasn't sure how long this would take, and he had been keeping some contact with his actual family but just not enough for them to feel as if he'd be okay... 

Eventually... M/n would be forced to cut ties with them. This seemed to be what it was always like... As Soon as he Figured it out... It all had to come crashing down...

TO BE CONTINUED...

This was IN FACT the End of FIO!!! Don't worry there will be a sequel!! I know I know, I'm cruel but I must, I'm entering a new part of the series that I don't feel would fit in this book with the title and such! SO My deepest apologies but I must say, It's been a wonderful Ride! As soon as I figure out what I'm going to do about the sequel to STS, I will announce what I'm going to do with the Second book of this series.    ~Author GUY
