"Where the fuck are they?!" You hissed as yet another knife kissed your skin, slicing it softly. These small slashes decorated your body as you waited in the position you were ordered to stay in until your captain was done with his side of this operation.
They had looted multiple pirate ships that were allied, possibly 4 and during the last one, 2 navy ships appeared and you were currently dealing with the last one after successfully taking out the first solo. However, these guys were tougher than the first one. You didn't have devil fruit powers but you were quite skilled with a sword. Not as proficient as Pirate Hunter Zoro but you were up there.
"I swear to god I'm gonna bitch at him when I see him. At this point I feel like he forgot about me and Killer is reminding him but his stupid red head is all like 'sHe WiLl Be FiNe'. That dumbass!" You took down enemies left and right but it felt like there was no end to them.
"Just die already and stop coming from the god damn woodworks!"
"How upsetting things are going to end differently today, Carnage Cutter (Y/N)." You shifted your body and saw vice admiral Momonga.
"Of all the luck..."
"You have gained quite a name since we've last saw you. To think you would end up with the Kid Pirates. Though suiting, I couldn't help but wonder why you agreed to ruin your life in such a way. Not that it matters anymore." As you watched him closely and hyper focused on his movements, you regrettably didn't notice the soldier sneaking up behind you.
A loud pop and an immense burning pain erupted from your shoulder. Another pop but this time the pain was on your arm. A pained cry escaped your lips as you collapsed on the floor, holding your arm, shaking your unscathed hand that was now covered in blood.
"You got her! Yeah!" The men cheered as Momonga watched you carefully.
"Don't let your guards down!" With a swift slash, you took out the men that had gathered in celebration behind your body, making sure the gashes you littered all over their bodies were enough to kill, specifically aiming for their throats first.
You knew you had reached your limit and you needed to find a way off of the ship now. Although you heard the vice admiral speaking with you and possibly asking questions, you were looking around, thinking of away to get off the ship. Of course there's jumping off and swimming but where would you even swim to? At this point in all the broken and burnt ships that were actively flaming on the sea, you couldn't pinpoint where your crew was. Did they abandon you? Panic washed over your body as you thought of the worse case scenario.
All of a sudden, you felt your body be lifted from where you stood, being scooped up by a familiar blonde. You looked at the masked man and felt a wave of relief, almost as if you could cry at the sight of him.
"I thought you guys had left me to die..." Instead of your usual attitude and profanities, you sounded sad and genuine. He scoffed and shook his head slightly.
"We may be destructive and violent but we wouldn't leave one of our own to die." You gave a small smile. What a stupid thought.
You finally got to the Victoria Punk and saw the rest of your crew. Hopping out of Killers arms, you ran to a certain blue haired man and hugged him tightly. He hugged back as Kid looked at the two of you.
"What happened to you? You hurt?" You pulled away and turned to your captain, finally remembering that you were bleeding pretty bad from the gunshot wounds from before.
"They shot me twice." He grit his teeth and scolded you for not saying anything sooner. He demanded you get patched up. As if a father was yelling at his child, you frowned and followed Killer to the small infirmary as he helped remove the bullets as well as tend to the wounds and small scratches all over your body.
"Thank you, Killer." He didn't say anything in response. A small giggle escaped your lips, catching him off guard.
"It's weird to see you acting like a girl." Eh?!
"Excuse me?!"
"Yeah, Im used to that. Attitude, cursing, petty arguments." You stared at him for a long moment before giving a mocking scoff.
"You must not know women considering that's like 80% of them."
"I mean you're vulgar and sassy. To see you smile or even hear you giggle, it's weird. It's like having someone different on the ship."
"Heat likes when I smile and giggle!"
"Yeah well, Heat banged you like two nights ago so I'm sure he does like that and much more." You gasped at his response, causing your face to heat up. Defeated, you remained silent and looked away. His shoulders jittered a bit, signifying he was silently laughing, feeling as if he won this tiny bickering with you.
"You're good. Just rest your arm and you'll be fine. Take these for pain, these to prevent infection and these for inflammation." The giant pills were in a tiny paper cup. You stared at them as Killer excused himself. Outside of the infirmaries door stood Heat. He was leaning on the rail across from the wooden door. Killer gave a nod to tell him you were alright and that he could enter to see how you were.
"Hey." The familiar voice made your heart flutter as you turned to your lover and smiled brightly at him.
"Hello!" He gave a small smile, walking in front of you and gently embracing your sitting body, head against his toned abdomen and one hand sitting on top of your head.
"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried."
"It will take more than just a few scratches and gunshot wounds to take me out." He was content with your answer. Without a word, he picked you up bridal style and walked out of the infirmary, heading to your tiny private quarters. Kid saw this and glared at the two of you.
"YOU BETTER LET HER REST HEAT! IF I HEAR ANY GOD DAMN DIRTY NOISES COMING FROM THAT ROOM I WILL THROW THE TWO OF YOU OVERBOARD!" Ah yes. The captain showing he cares.
Gently placing you down on your bed, he soon joined you, bringing you close to his chest, playing with your hair. His soft breathing and delicate touches to your hair and occasionally your cheek made you feel so loved and protected. You snuggled closer to his toned chest, closing your eyes and enjoying the peaceful night. Compared to how it was just a couple of hours ago, it's safe to say you were grateful with your decision to join the Kid Pirates. The main reason for your joining was embracing you at this moment.
"I love you." The sweet words that were but a whisper laced around his heart, making him smile at the ceiling, knowing he had struck gold with you.
"I love you too."
