WHO AM I? (2) (SHANKS X READER)

Chapter eighteen

You strolled back in the house and put the picture in shanks’ face “That’s you right?” you asked “Y-yeah… Where did you find this?” he replied shocked “Over there” you said pointing at where you came from “y/n… I think this is my old house… before your father kidnapped me” I visibly flinched but thankfully he didn’t realize it or he just didn’t mind it “you don’t mind if I roll around right?” you asked for permission after all it was his house “Sure but if you find something, do tell me” he sighed looking around, I nodded and then walked the same way I came from.  

Wondering around for a while a lot of cute pictures of small shanks popped up and you were asking yourself how the hell did they not burn because the house seemed to have been Burnt before…

how the hell would you know if the building was burnt down?

You could say you totally haven’t watched a couple houses burn down and you totally didn’t still visit them till today…

Moreover, the pictures were too damn cute to be laying around and you were wholeheartedly willing to take them home and hung them up on the wall.

Sometime along the walk, you stumbled upon a picture of a man you didn’t know so you did the most reasonable thing “SHANKS!!” You shouted running back to the red-haired who was walking around slowly “What did you find now?” he chuckled leaning on the wall to support himself “do you still have difficulty walking around?” you asked genuinely concerned for the well being of your lover “I’m alright, what’s that in your hand?” he replied pointing at the picture “oh? This? Who’s that in the picture?” you questioned showing him said item “it’s been a very long while since I’ve last seen that man… Well Y/n I introduced you to my uncle Hendrix Le Roux” he smiled lightly looking at the man “hen-Hendrix?” you repeated finding yourself at a loss of words “Yeah! He’s a very nice man you would’ve loved to meet him… that is if he’s still alive” he muttered ‘That’s… Shanks’ uncle? Heh. How interesting’ you chuckled lowly looking aside ‘if only you knew my dear. If only you knew…’ you thought sweat dropping “I bet he’s very nice! Yeah” you smiled giving him a side hug then you let go and ran off again to god knows where.

Memories crept in fast as your mind was everywhere at this new info, Hendrix was shanks uncle. Yeah a lot to take in, how did you know him?

Easy! He was a very good acquaintance of your father that you happened to run in once too many times! He was intimidating and down right scary! Scary to the point you’d rather be stuck with Wassim for years then to be in the same room as him for a minute! Now he’s your damned in-law?! Alright, that top’s it off honestly.

You were too tired for anything and you wanted to see someone suffer. Maybe prank someone? Yeah, that seems like a plan but who….? Who hadn’t you disturbed their peace…? Then it clicked in your mind Benn! You grinned as you begun running over all the ideas that might be a good topic for a prank but only one stuck out to you “Alright, let’s get shanks in first…” you muttered as you shouted for your red-haired lover who appeared not even a second later asking if you were okay.

Letting him in on the plan was funny as hell since you both had the image of what his reaction would be… you two totally weren't giggling like highschool girls

After some more scavenging in the house, you two left the abandoned building and went to your car which thankfully wasn’t far away from this place.

You drove back to your mansion where you’ve already texted Benn to be at although it’s him and the crew there you still wanted to proceed with the prank anyway.

Once you reached there you stayed in the car for a few minutes to make sure that your appearance would say it all ‘puffy eyes? Check! Runny nose? Check! Tears on my face? Check! Blood on my clothes? Check! Messy hair? Check! Everything is perfect!’ you thought looking at the mirror in your hand “Alright listen, I’ll walk in and then you come in after 4 or 5 minutes and do as I’ve said okay?” you grinned and he nodded excitedly.

You left the car sobbing as tears fell from your eyes ‘just less than a week ago I called him very excited about the fact shanks woke up, now here I am leaving the poor confused man on read with the single message of I’m coming back please meet me in the mansion. Totally ain’t suspicious…’ I thought sweat dropping.

Once you were near the meeting room your head hung low as your hands formed into fists, you opened the door and everyone was looking at you in hope of seeing their captain anywhere near you but he wasn’t there. “Y/n-san? Where’s shanks?” asked Benn coming closer to you, your whole body shook as you finally looked up at them with glossy eyes, sniffling softy you burst out crying “I’m- I’m, I’M SORRY! I- I could- couldn’t, protect him!! They- they, they surprise- surprise attack us! I- I didn’t see them coming! I swear! Shanks is…. SHANKS IS DEAD ALL BECAUSE OF ME!” you sobbed falling down on your knees, the whole room had fallen silent. The only sound that was heard is your loud crying.

Benn POV :

Shanks… dead? No.. no way… she’s kidding right? There’s no way right? Shanks can’t die! He promised me before! He wouldn’t die! He- he promised… she’s lying right? I can’t believe this! No fucking way! No fucking way, shanks isn’t dead!

Lucky roux:

Boss can’t die… he promised to stay with us until the end! He- he can’t possibly die! No way in hell he died! Looking between everyone I can’t believe this, y/n’s crying on the ground. Benn somehow had collapsed on the ground and tears were at the corner of his eyes, these two were the closest to shanks… I can’t even think about what they’re feeling right now… Yasopp was laying on the wall as if it was his life support at that moment, the rest of the crew were crying as well. Even I was crying.

Y/n POV:

‘maybe I went a bit extreme with this…? Nahhhhhh they’re all funny looking like this, the stoic Benn Beckman was crying… OKAY NO BENN LOVE DON’T CRY I’M SORRY, YOU’RE LIKE MY BROTHER I’M SORRY IT’S ALL A PRANK’ I thought then got up “I- I’ll head to my room” you whispered leaving the room, then your expression immediately changed and you were about to burst out laughing “I deserve an Oscar in acting… I’m such an actress” you chuckled as you saw shanks coming “So how’d it go?” he asked “go in. I have to run or I’ll die” you laughed lowly then hugged him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran away.

Shanks POV:

‘okay? That was a bit weird. It’s not like it’s that-‘ I thought opening the door to be met with the crying faces of my crew ‘bad… yup it’s very bad’ I sighed then smiled “Why are you all crying? It’s not like I died?” I chuckled and they all looked up at me as if they’ve seen a ghost and what I didn’t expect is for me to be on the ground squeeze to death from overgrown crying children… my whole crew was hugging me and crying.

Benn stood at the side, everyone was finally off me and I smiled at Benn, he stood before me shock written all over his face. Then he did something I never expected him to do. He hugged me. Very very tightly that I thought I was about to die from not breathing as I patted his head “I knew something was not right” he mumbled into my shirt “ummm… get pranked?” I laughed slightly, he let go of me abruptly and then stared at me then at the door “pranked?” he chuckled as he looked at the door “Y/N!!!!!!!!!” he yelled running out the door and loud laughter echoes in the house from god knows where
