|The Unlucky| [One Piece x Reader]

11

[Im actually really excited to write this, Marineford is a really important place, and even thought i skipped Impel down, the reader was in a coma during that time, anyways, i hope you enjoy getting another peek of the past!!!]

The sea.

It crashed all around your boat, the air full of lies as you traveled by your lonesome.

You stared at your reflection, warbling and seeming fake as the boat rushed through the waters. Your eyes averted to the eternal log pose. Marineford, of course you were going to that place of injustice, that place of sin. Funny how it was supposed to be the one place where justice stood, but no, it was corrupted, it was insane, it was horrible.

Tears pricked the corner of your eyes, falling into the salty water known as the Ocean. You were beginning to regret your decision of going to that place, but this was a request from your formal captain, a request from Roger himself. He asked of you to protect his son until he could set out to sea, and that you would do your best to protect him while he wasnt there. You accepted, of course. He was your captain, how could you refuse a request like that?

You reminisced of the smile that took over his face when you begrudgingly accepted his request, and the hug of his, you'll never forget it.

-Memory-

''Roger...'' you murmured, in slight pain as he squeezed you to death. Your eyes watered, the days were rushing by too fast for you, you wished that they would go slower, but alas, you only had a short amount of time with your friend, with your captain.

He peered at you with a happy, but knowing expression.

"Im not ready for you to go. I want you to stay." You suddenly said, letting your selfish wants finally show themselves. Roger only smiled with sympathy, "I know, but you need to start your own life, and stop dwindling on the past, you'll let go at some point."

Wait, you dont remember this happening.

He laughed, and set you down, "its been years, you need to stop crying over me, just like that Peacock girl." 

The Peacock. You remembered her. She was that tall woman who had no sense of embarrassment, she was more broken than you when roger died. She even went as far as to follow and watch his death, you were dragged along that day.

You stared up at your captain, who was still smiling down at you.

"I've already moved on, i just know ill never forget how your kindness changed me, captain, but i have a new captain now, and he's going to be the King of The Pirates!" You yelled with a smile on your face.

He wrapped his arms around you, as tight as he could, and you smiled, your arms finally wrapping around his neck. You could finally say goodbye.

"You were always my best friend, roger." You laughed, and pressed your lips against his forehead, as a way of saying everything.

He set you down, and grinned, "With you there, i think your captain just may be the King of The Pirates."

"Hell yeah he will.....goodbye Roger."

"Goodbye, for now, Y/N."

-End of Memory-

You snapped out of your little...whatever that was. Pretty paranormal if you asked me.

You looked up to see a certain boat coming your way, guess you just had to bask in all the memories today.

You waved, though many were skeptical, even those who knew you since you were a young adult.

Marco used his DevilFruit to fly over to you, landing in your boat as he glared. It looked like he was about to guess who you were before his eyes suddenly widened.
"Y/N-yoi?" He asked, and reached out to cup your cheeks, a smile taking over his serious face as he studied the scar right below your eye, which your hair usually covered.

"Marco." You said, and threw your arms around him, pressing your lips against his forehead. He flushed, your greetings were always the most bittersweet.

You yawned afterwards, causing Marco to laugh. "You came to save ace, didnt you?" He asked, hand on your head. "Hell yeah, my promises dont mean nothing, you know that."

"Honestly i thought you were dead-yoi" He chuckled, and suddenly groaned in pain as you hit him over the head.

"Shut up you old man" You growled in response, and jumped into his arms, gripping tightly as he began to transform into his Phoenix form. You basically cuddle the man as you felt the warm flames move against you, successfully healing what hadn't been healed.

You felt energized when he landed on the ship, setting you down onto the ground, even if he wanted to carry you more.

You grinned, looking at everyone. The rookies were confused, while all of the others cheered upon seeing your large smile, and ran over at you, some tackling you while some of the more timid members stayed behind and waved, scared that youd kick their asses again. You laughed as the few tackled you to the ground, dogpiling you.

You lay amongst your old friends, and slowly pushed them off you to face Izo, who looked at you in admiration. He loved how, even though you could be a brute, you had this intelligence and femininity that melted off of you like a fine chocolate.

You ran at him, picking him up like a bride, honestly, you thought Izo was a sexy motherfucker, and you'd love to have him in bed during your younger days.

A loud coughing noise drew your attention to who wanted it. Newgate. Your grin became even larger as you bolted over, jumping onto his leg. He smiled. "I knew you'd come say hi to me sooner or later, Y/N, its a blessing to see you once more in this life." He laughed, his iconic laughter ringing through your ears. It was almost music.

"Im amazed your still alive, and coming to save ace, from MARINEFORD nonetheless.' You hummed, and earned the lightest slap to the head. "oiiii..." You whined, and rubbed the back of your head. Even if you were a logia type, haki still hurt you, and you hated when Newgate hit you.

He laughed at your pain, and let you sit in his lap, mending your little wound that wasnt really a wound, you just split your head in half dramatically to make it seem that way.

you sighed happily, and got off of his laps, "lets go save Ace." Ypu smiled, and looked at everyone, "together!" You cheered.

Everyone cheered with you, but deep down, they knew this wasn't going to be pretty.

Someone important was going to die.
