"I Wish You'd Die Already!" (Perospero x Reader)

"The Killer" and "Bird-man"

The low, deep chuckles of Leyroye rang out through the streets. "I can't believe you're actually just running around with that creep." Leyroye said, running his hand through his red hair. "And? It's none of your business what I do and what I don't, and if anything happens to me or this man you know Big Mom'll come after you and your little cult-" "You think that woman's gonna come after us? This man turned in his own dang wanted poster, YN! If he were worried about something like that he sure wouldn't have done that!" Leyroye said, drawing his sword. "YN! What is going on? How do you know this man?!" Perospero yelled, taken aback at the entire situation. I shook my head. "Ask questions later, Peros. He's got a bounty of six-hundred-million. He's not someone to be messed around with; the 'Bird-man' Leyroye." I said, a frown on my face. He chuckled again. "Yeah yeah, 'Bird-man' and all that... Does this man know you've got a bounty on your head, YN? Tell him what they call you!" Leyroye called out, throwing his hands in the air. I clicked my tounge. "That's irrelevant now, Leyroye. I decided not to live that life anymore. You and boss should respect that decision." I said, trying to keep myself in front of Perospero. He scoffed. "And? You think that now you've decided to go group up with some pirate group we're just gonna forget? Such a funny one, YN." He said, pointing his katana at me. I shook my head. "You should just leave, no amount of convincing is going to get me to come back." I said, my fists balled. "What is even going on here?!" Perospero yelled from behind me. "I told you I'll explain later! For now, we're in the presence of a bloodthirsty criminal!" I yelled, trying to keep my mind on the situation. Leyroye smiled wide at the two of us. "Lovers, aye? Or just close friends? I thought that darling YN had a heart of steel; seeing as all she was doing was saving up money to get away from everyone." He said, stepping closer to me. "What is it that you're talking about?!" Perospero yelled.

Something in my mind snapped at that comment, so I charged towards Bird-man and landed the palm of my hand on his nose, and I heard a cracking noise. Leyroye winced slightly, but he began to smile, taking his hand off his profusely bleeding nose, allowing the red to drip down his tanned skin. "Oh YN... Just as unpredictable as always. It's no wonder they call you 'The Killer'." Leyroye said, charging at me with his katana. I dodged to the side, then landed a kick on his abdomen which threw him against the side of a building. He got up and chuckled again. "Think a simple kick'll take me down that easily?" He mocked, holding tight onto the katana. I clicked my tongue. "You know, I don't really want to murder you." I said, landing a hit on his head. Leyroye hummed a song as he tried to slice me into ribbons. "Yes yes, sure. I know you're trying to 'change' or whatever boss said, but if we fight, we fight to the death!" Leyroye yelled, the smile on his face wide. I sighed. "Fine, fine, but no hard feelings if you end up dead." I spoke. Leyroye turned towards Perospero. "Do you really think you're the one I'm here to get? Boss would love your head, for certain, but he... that Charlotte... is the one he wants." He said, licking his lips at the sight of Perospero. He stepped back a little. "Wha- What?!" Perospero yelled, taken aback. "You turned in your wanted poster to a creepy organization, mate. What do you expect?" Leyroye asked, turning his head. Perospero sighed. "So that's what this is about." He muttered. I sighed. "We need to get rid of this man as fast as possible." I said, ignoring his last statement. He came up behind me, then put his hand on my shoulder. "I agree." He said, his hand holding tight on my shoulder. Leyroye held tight onto his katana. "Lovely. Let's dance!" Leyroye yelled, chuckling at me.

Leyroye began to slice at both me and Perospero. I flipped over his head and slammed the red-head to the ground. He flipped around and he lobbed a couple of attacks at me, one hitting the side of my arm. "YN! Your arm!" Perospero yelled as I felt the blood began to drip. Leyroye lifted the katana up to his mouth and he kicked the fresh blood off of it. "I knew you'd get hit eventually." He said, rearing up again. Perospero was having none of that, though, and he kicked the man in the chest. Leyroye coughed and a little blood dripped from his mouth. "Who do ya think you are, man?" Leyroye muttered, looking angrily up at Perospero. Perospero looked directly at him. "I have no time to mess around with gross men like you. I will not hesitate to kill you if you don't leave right now. Leave with your life, or you can die trying to kill me." He said, his fists clenched. Leyroye smirked. "I see you've changed your mind about wanting to die. Was it because of that woman? Well, have I got a story for you." Leyroye said, standing up. I ran towards him, haki on my arm, and I punched him in the gut, but the moment I did that, he took the katana and stabbed it through my side, then quickly removed it. "Have fun dying, woman!" He yelled, choking up more blood.

I sank to the floor and Leyroye spread his wings and smirked at us. "The bird-bird fruit. Wondered why they call me bird man? I promise I'll be back, and I won't go so easy on you next time." Leyroye said, wiping the blood from his mouth. He flew off across the Whole Cake sky, holding the katana in his hand. Perospero cursed as he flew off, then he turned his attention to me. "YN! YN, can you hear me?!" He yelled, holding the side of my face as the blood dripped from my side. I smiled at him and nodded. "Glad you made it out alive." I muttered, my tone quiet. Perospero scooped me up in his arms and he began to sprint towards the chateau. "I promise I'm going to save you, YN. I love you, please don't die." He said, holding me tight to his chest, a few tears falling from his eyes. "I'm sorry I'm getting blood on you..." I muttered, holding on tight to his jacket. He shook his head and kissed my forehead. "No, don't worry. As long as you make it out alive I don't care. Please just be ok." He said, keeping me tight against his chest. "I'm sorry..." I muttered, trying to stay awake. "It's ok, YN, it's ok." He said, kissing me one more time as I passed out from blood loss.
