27. Ups...

"Are you ready to go? We are going to set sail shortly."

Your body trembled with fury just hearing the voice of the terrorist who had destroyed your precious invention, you dedicated to giving him the silent treatment after seeing the atrocity carried out, and he did not stop bothering you because you ignored him. Marco slip some extra headache pills into your backpack without you realizing, you were going to need them.

You walked away from him because you wanted to say goodbye to your new friends before returning to your destination, changing your sour expression to a more neutral one when you saw Ace next to Thatch, surely trying to beg for more food. You smiled at them when they noticed you going towards them, receiving a small greeting from both of them, you chatted for a few minutes until Marco joined you, you were starting to get irritated by the bird because he only seemed to make fun of everything that happened to you, commenting on your wrecked plane.

"Marco, you are officially on my list of people whose body parts need to be cut off."

"I thought the last time you said it was a joke."

Ace trembled remembering how you threatened an old man from your town for looking at you too long for your liking, he wouldn't like to be on that list because he honestly knew that you were capable of cutting any part of his body and he had to protect his future children if he want to have.

"I never joke about those things, you can ask the people crossed off the list."

You smiled darkly remembering all the victims that had really annoyed you, which is an achievement, the boys looked at each other thinking that at least you knew how to watch your back or at least take revenge. The talk didn't last much longer because as much as it bothered you, you had to board Shanks' damn ship, though luckily you'd only be stuck for a couple of days until you arranged your transport.

"Don't cry for me, soon I will travel all the seas."

You blew them a kiss in the air followed by a wink, climbing onto the ship's rail to slide down the rope that linked it to the other pirates, your goofy smile soon turning into a grimace at the pitiful pout Shanks was giving you. You ignored him to talk to Benn hoping he could give you some materials and start repairing.

You weren't particularly that mad at the yonko, but you weren't going to let it go so soon, partially destroying your invention didn't hurt at all since you wanted to implement some things into it that would make you have to dismantle certain parts, so at least you had that, although dismantling it would have been better than destroying it, you weren't going to complain either, after all, you had nothing else to do, your life revolved solely for and by the gears.

So you spent most of the night repairing tirelessly until you passed out from exhaustion. Shanks walked out of his cabin just to find you sleeping in the most uncomfortable way you could be, you were really going to have back problems in the future for that. He sighed crouching down next to you, he pulled out some of the locks that obscured your face, looking at you for a few seconds before putting you on his shoulder, you complained in the process muttering some insults causing the man to laugh silently at your behavior, at least you didn't woke up, if you had it was sure you were going to hit him.

He gently tossed you onto his bed, anyway he wouldn't use it since he needed to attend to other matters. So the night went by pretty quickly and you weren't happy when you found yourself resting on the Shanks' one arm, because the idiot had gotten bored of doing his captain's chores and had decided to lie down next to you. He was very comfortable, it was a pity that you pushed him to the ground making him jump, the simple look of surprise on his face made you happy for the rest of the day although he kept insisting that you stop giving him the silent treatment, you would keep it for a few more days.

Well, that's what you intended, but it seems that it would not be the day, your eyes widened when you saw a marine ship, approaching at a good speed, you swallowed dry looking for the captain of the ship, once you found him you grabbed him by the shoulders shaking him.

"Shanks! marines, marines are coming."

"I think it's the first time you say my name and don't call me an old pervert... that's progress!"

"Save that shit for later! Do you have wax in your ears? The marines are closing in."

He took his time to laugh long and hard at your words, clutching his stomach as a few tears threatened to escape his eyes.

"You're so cute, the marines won't attack a yonko, I even invite them up sometimes if they have good wine with them!"

"I know they're not stupid enough to attack a yonko, the problem is that I don't want them to associate me with you!"

"Ouch... I thought we were making progress honey."

He took his hand to his heart feigning pain, looking at you out of the corner of his eye, seeing how you rubbed your temples because of the headache that was beginning to cause you.

"Stop making this weird conversation, I say this because I don't want them to put a price on my head, if they see me on board they'll think I'm dangerous or something for being with your crew."

"Oh...I get it, but umh..." Shanks seemed to have shrunk into place on him, his gaze wandering past you, you snapped your fingers close to his face to get him to finish talking "I think it's too late to hide."

"What-?"

He grabbed your shoulder, turning you completely around to find yourself face to face with what appeared to be a grizzled Vice Admiral, arms crossed, looking at you as if you were the disappointment of the family for the simple fact of being inside a pirate ship.

"Oh shit..."

You couldn't stay out of trouble for just one day?
