Chapter 32: The Straw Hats Return

"Remind me again why we're here?" Yoru was not happy. And neither were you really. Due to your rising notoriety and fame, you were being called to more missions. Some that had been strictly combat and not meant for your main set of skills.

"I guess because the Straw Hats are supposed to show up here."

"Again I ask why we're here?"

"Ugh, you know exactly why we're here Yoru."

"Not my fault."

You begged to differ. You'd made the mistake a few weeks back letting Yoru fly around free, while taking care of incredibly sick children and Yoru had been caught by a Celestial Dragon. But since Yoru can change his form of the situation called for it. He escaped right in front of a group of Celestial Dragons and Nobles and flew straight to you, on your return to the warship.

They'd demanded you give Yoru to them, you simply told them that he was considered part of the Navy and your look out. When told this they fumed and called for an admiral. Luckily enough for you Kizaru vouched for your friend and you'd walked away with merely insults thrown your way.

Your punishment happened when you'd turned to glare and your eyes had glowed violet out of your annoyance towards those who felt they were above the rest of the world.

"Okay ultimately it was my fault."

"She finally admits it! Only took you 4 weeks!!"

You shook your head at him, while this mission wasn't your idea of being productive, it was a nice chance to get away from it all.

"We've got some slavers following us. What do you want to do?"

Draw them away and we'll take care of them out of sight. I don't want innocent people getting hurt.

"Got it. Go left. I'll follow from above and let you know if they're anyone else following you."

You kept your waking calm and steady, you didn't want to alert them that you knew of their presence yet, technically slavery was legal, but you hated it. You and Yoru, always shut down the slave houses you found. Grount helped too when he was around he had way too much fun intimidating the people into silence but it worked out for you.

Many of the people you stopped were found of other crimes that were chargeable, usually not paying the right amount of taxes to the Celestial Dragons. You and Grount also made sure to destroy any and all documents about the people captured to be sold. To make their escape easier, you gave them the option to go into hiding or join the marines. 6 out of 10 people joined, the rest, you had an inkling we're going to join a whole other military altogether. You never stopped them though. It was their choice to make. Something that had been difficult to convince Grount to do.

Thinking of Grount automatically brought Koby to your mind, you hadn't seen him in almost two months. You missed him, even Helmeppo. You fiddled with the bracelet on your wrist, remembering the last time you and Koby talked.

{4 weeks prior}

"Y/N-San! It's time! It's time!" Koby had come bulldozing his way into the infirmary excited and had startled you so bad you'd spilt your tea all over your doctor's coat.

"Time for what?" You started to wipe yourself of the mess.

"Luffy-San is coming back!"

You quickly held up a finger to your lips, you had people sleeping and his shouting was going to wake them up. He covered his mouth with both hands his eyes going wide.
