This is going to be a bit OOC, we don't know yet what happened at the Rocky Port incident yet, Oda has mentioned it before in the manga and anime. Koby was named a hero for saving the citizens due to something that Trafalgar caused. We don't yet know the details. If Oda ever explains it in more detail later on, I will come back to update this chapter to match better with the actual story. For now I am merely writing what I believe happened. Enjoy!!!!!!




<Koby's POV>

He wandered, not going to meet Helmeppo or to head back to the ship. He couldn't bring himself to be in such proximity to you just yet. Your words are on continuous replay in his mind. He looked through his memories to see where you would've gotten the idea to be his lover.

No, we wouldn't even be normal lovers. Do I even want that? I like her and yeah I am attracted to her, but why would she get that idea in the first place.

Yes, he had embraced you drunk and said some embarrassing things while doing so, and yes he'd always look for you whenever he could. Yes, he would try to eat with you, and hang out with you, train at the same time you did...who was he kidding? He was more than attracted to you, he was falling for you.

She is just an amazing person. She pretends she doesn't care for others but if that were so she wouldn't risk her own safety like for the little girls on the beach. She wouldn't had tried her hardest to make sure that the guests of the crew ship were taken care of, despite them being annoying.

He'd catch her smiling sometimes when dolphins would jump next to the warship, or just staring at a sunset. He thought it was cute when you would frown over a sketch you were drawing and focus on getting it right. When you got frustrated with your running and how you couldn't do what you wanted to do. When he'd catch you staring and how you'd quickly look away.

He couldn't help but find you adorable. Your stubbornness, was what he found most endearing. Especially when you were determined to not let him see your smile. He'd gotten used to your tell about that. He found it endearing that you tried your hardest to make sure he didn't see it, but he did every time.

"I'm so screwed...I'm in love with a girl who wants nothing to do with love or me for that matter. There's something wrong with me. Hah..."

He put his head in his hands and took a long breath. Before he could make his move to go find Helmeppo his observation haki pinged. He felt incoming danger from everywhere. The next thing he knew something exploded, the ground shook and people started to panic.

He immediately went into rescue mode. He found an announcer booth and with his haki mapped out the best evacuation routes depending on where everyone was.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE! PLEASE TRY TO STAY CALM AND LISTEN CAREFULLY!!" He yelled into the microphone. "PLEASE PROCEED AS I SAY TO THE DOCKS WHERE YOU WILL BOARD THE WARSHIPS! IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN PLEASE KEEP THEM WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES! FOR AREAS 5,9,12 AND 17. PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO DOCK NUMBER SIX. AREAS 10, 16, 22, 36 AND 29. PLEASE MAKE YOIR WAY GO DOCKS 45 AND 27! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!! PLEASE EVACUATE THE ISLAND IMMEDIATELY!!"

Y/N-San will be okay she's on the warship. Helmeppo-San will have heard my announcement and will help with the evacuation. The issue is all the citizens.

"Mommy!! Where are you Mommy??!!" Koby quickly ran up to the crying child and picked him up, he couldn't have been older than two and he was terrified.

"Hi there. My name is Koby, I am here to help you."

"Can you find Mommy?!" Another shock wave shook the earth and Koby brought the boy closer to his neck.
