Chapter 18: Breaking Barriers

Hey guys!! I was in the writing mood and I wanted to update for Koby and Reader. This chapter is going to be shorter than usual but I think you'll all enjoy it!!! Much love to you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️

"Let me out of this cell right now!!" The pirate named Alvida had been whining and yelling for the past two weeks. What was supposed to be a quick assignment was turning into a headache for Captain Koby.

Buggy the Clown was bitching and complaining about everything and not happy with the arrangement at all. When in fact he was trying to squeeze any money he could out of the WG he could.

"This guy is starting to get on my last fucking nerve." Helmeppo growled. You were draining a bruise on his back caused by the clown himself. He'd thrown a fit and aimed his anger at poor Helmeppo.

"You and everyone else. What was his complaint today?" You applied pressure to the opening as gently as you could.

"Ouch! Dammit!"

"Sorry..."

"You're good Y/N. But isn't there another way to do this?"

"I go find leeches and they drink the blood out. Not as painful but it feels weird."

"How would you know?"

"Back as a kid I couldn't afford medical care. I dislocated my shoulder and a blood vessel popped when my brother put it back in place. Having those things on me wasn't pleasant."

"Ugh!! That sounds terrible. I'll stick with this method." You went back to applying pressure and draining out the excess blood and he winced. "But to answer your previous question, the same shit just a different day."

"Who's Captain Koby taking with him tomorrow?"

"Grount."

"Yeah I don't see that blowing up in our faces."

"We've kinda run out of options." After you finished draining the wound, you applied a hot press over top of a Belladonna rub to help the irritation and pain. "Aw man. That works so much better than any pain meds. You study herbs?"

"Yeah I like using those as opposed to things you could get addicted to."

"Makes sense. But yeah...maybe Grount will scare them into just singing the damn papers. The higher ups are going to start questioning Koby's efficiency."

That didn't sit well with you. It wasn't anything the young Captain was doing, it was the damn pirate who was being a pain in the ass.

"Do you think that he'd let me come? I've studied human behavior, maybe I can figure a few things out by watching him interact with Captain Koby and Grount."

"I doubt he'd have any objections. He told me that you two are sparring after you and Grount fight. How's that going?"

"It's going. My thought process is getting faster each time so I guess that's a good thing."

"Helps in the field. But then again you'll have an assigned guard to you in those situations."

True, there really wasn't any reason for all the attention Garp was putting into your combat training. One thing you did notice was that you were getting better at treating wounds on the spot during an attack. Garp was a famous marine and he was hunted a lot. This last attack from Eustass "Captain" Kid, had him on bedrest. He didn't like bedrest but you as his physician didn't really care.

"True. Let's leave the heating pad on for another five minutes and then we'll do the cold treatment.  We may have to drain it again tomorrow but we'll see how it looks. Try not to move your arms around too much, if you can help it."
