[Far from home](One piece x Shinobi!reader)

||3.Weird Grandpa and the Promise||

The house that Luffy occupied was quite comfortable for two people to live in.
A small kitchen combined with a living room, a corridor leading to the bathroom and a staircase to the second floor which contained four rooms.

You and Luffy just finished cleaning the room,which now belongs to you, and were now sitting on a neatly made bed. And even though in fact only you were cleaning, while he just sat and distracted you with trifling conversations.

In order to gain strength, it didn’t take much time, and after fifteen minutes the boy began to jump excitedly ... on your perfectly symmetrical bed ...

You can't be angry with him for too long: : there was so much charm and childlike innocence in this little lump that the mood immediately returned to normal and even soared to the plus mark in the personal scale of emotions.

"So you're a ninja?!? Just a real one?!" Stars of genuine delight sparkled in his unchildishly large eyes, which made you let out a short chuckle.

"Yeah, the real one"

"SUGOOOOOOOIII!!!! SHOW ANY MOVES!!!" he found himself on the floor, jumping from foot to foot with more enthusiasm and wildly waving his arms "SHADOW CLONE TECHNIQUE!! WATER DRAGON!! FIREBALL!! TRY TO DOVER MY NIN-NIN SHURIKEN!!"  the black-haired boy began to run around the room with an imaginary shuriken in his hand. This impossibly cute parody of yourself and your occupation in general caused you have a wave of nostalgia for the village kids and made you burst into loud laughter.

"Okay, okay, Luffy, calm down" - you only had to stretch out your hand to catch the little fidget running past the bed. "Let's sleep" deftly picking him up in your arms, you stoically withstood all his kicks.

Leaving your room, you went into the next one and still relaxed your grip. The boy did not need to give any hints and he immediately jumped out of your stone embrace, while diving exactly on your own bed.

"Is it true that you train sitting under a waterfall in which the water is so cold, cold?"—the child asked as you diligently wrapped him in a soft blanket.

"Many of us do that"

"Do you say nin nin?" Luffy asked another but wildly strange question, making you freeze in confusion.

"No! We don't talk like that and I don't even know what it came from..." - all the boy's enthusiasm evaporated at once and he was blown away."Okay, it's pretty late. So let's go to bed." Gently brushing through his hair, you slowly moved towards the door.

Letting out a long yawn, he tried to bicker. "I want... more... to know about ninja..." His eyes still clung to your departing figure, though he could no longer distinguish you from your own shadow.

"Go to sleep, you're my ninja" - your quiet whisper was heard at the very exit, and you finally disappeared behind the closed door. Heading to your bedroom, you just shook your head, while on your lips a tired "Nin-nin" smile appeared.

***

Time flew by very quickly, and you wouldn't even say that you spent more than three months here. Everything went well. Until one day...

"AAAAAAAAAA" - a 6-year-old boy burst into the house, rushing around the living room. "CAN'T HAPPEN!! ALREADY TODAY!!" he jumped onto the couch, jumping over you sitting on it.

Already pretty tired of swaying, you stretched out your hand, and the boy, who didn’t notice, crashed into her with all his foolishness and hung on her.

"Stop" - you brought him back on the floor. "What happened?"

The boy glared at you with surprised eyes and, not without a bit of distrust, gave out a childishly innocent “You don’t know ?!” As if the whole world would collapse from your ignorance.
