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

Chapter Twenty-Six

Marco POV:

How many times have I lost? How many times have I lost her?! I… I couldn’t protect her… I couldn’t.. do anything… Y/n is gone… I won’t hear her laughs anymore.. I won’t scold her again after she prank me… she won’t hide behind me after she piss off someone anymore… she won’t do anything dumb anymore.. no one… no one understand do they…? Even if they were her friends… even if they were close as can be… they can’t understand… I lost my only hope… she won’t reassure me anymore… she won’t help me anymore… I lost my sister… my only sister.. my last and only family member…

I thought laying in bed staring at the ceiling “Just let me die…” I whispered lowly while turning around, tears slowly staining my face “Let me go see them… let me see my sun… let me see my mom and sister…” I muttered as I closed my eyes.

I close my eyes and believe that you are here.

I looked around and saw my mother and sister standing there in front of me, I ran towards them although I felt chains keeping me from advancing

Wrong I have done, please make it clear

The chains were my wrongs, my guilt, my mistakes keeping me from going further yet I fought them and advanced towards them.

Heaven will fall as you hold them in your arms

As soon as I reached them, I hugged them tightly but the world around started crumbling

Blood on our hands, I stand alone

They vanished from my grip and all that’s left was blood on my hand and me standing alone in the darkness

I close my eyes and believe that you are here

I closed my eyes and opened them seeing my mother standing there all bloodied staring at me, her eyes cold and darker than what I remember

Wrong I have done, please make it clear

“it’s all your fault my daughter died! Weren’t you supposed to protect her?! Why didn’t you help her?!” she shouted as she pushed me down and I couldn’t say anything

Heaven will fall as you hold him in your arms

Y/n appeared in front of my mother and walked to me, sitting beside me and hugging me. The world yet again crumbled down

Blood on our hands, I stand alone

I hugged her back but the darkness took her away from me and left me sitting alone with blood on my hands

Shanks POV:

I walked in the Newgate house and it felt like a hurricane hit the place. Empty bottles of beers laying around, clothes scattered everywhere, dishes everywhere and one large body in the middle of it all. I sliced my hair back and sighed as I looked up at Newgate “When are you gonna stop? Your children needs their father” I asked avoiding a pile of clothes and walking towards him “WhAt?” he asked drunkly “come on man, y/n is gonna return… Believe me” I smiled lightly and his booming laughter rang in the air, it was empty of it’s usual warmth and welcomness. He sounded like he was mocking my words “ShE’s GoNe! YoU kNoW tHaT!” he groaned as he looked down.

A.S.L POV:

Stressed out. That’s what us three are feeling, we’re doing our best to keep everyone cheerful. But it’s not the same without y/n around. She’s the ball of sunshine who keeps everyone in check at all times. Pranks aren’t as fun without her laughter ringing around the house. Sneaking out of the house without her isn’t the same. Nothing is the same without her.

 

Y/n POV:

You sprinted towards the red force as fast as you can, it’s been another week and finally she woke up! You barged in the room immediately and begun bawling your eyes out “Ahhh! I thought you were gonna die after I just revived you!!! Please don’t leave meeeeeeee!!” You cried as you hugged your other self tightly “oh baby, stop crying. As soon as I’m fully recovered which isn’t gonna take long. 3 days maximum I’ll send you back to your time and you’ll be with everyone else” she smiled making you sob harder “YOU’RE SO NICE! I DON’T DESERVE YOU!” you weeped as you let her go and begun whipping your tears furiously.

An arm was wrapped around your shoulder and you looked up to see shanks “What are you crying about?” He laughed “You should be happy! You’re going home!” he added grinning “I’m going homeeeeeeeeeee!” you sobbed as you hugged the red-haired tightly “there, there. Calm down. Now you can help the others! Stop being so emotional!” Shanks laughed patting your back looking desperately at the other you as if asking for some sort of help.

She just smile and shook her head “your problem “ she grinned “Oh come on! Just a little bit? I mean she's you” he pouted “just because we’re the same person from different timeline doesn’t mean we’re necessarily the literal same” she laughed, you sniffled as you looked at them “I’ll miss you all so much” you said whipping your tears “Yeah, we’ll miss you as well. But a fair warning, I died in my 8th month of pregnancy and I was tortured for a month.” The other you warned making you freeze “but I’m in my 7th month now…” you whispered but she seemed to have heard it and she turned seriously immediately “That’s bad… very bad..” she muttered as she looked down “I’ve got a plan… but I’m not going to enjoy it either. What if I stay here, until I give birth to my child and you’ll help me train my powers and control them better. I’d be safe with you guys and I guess we could chill for at least 6 months. 2 for me to give birth and 4 to train” you said seriously as you looked at the both of them “it could benefit me in two way. One, my child would be safe. Two, I would get stronger” you added lifting two fingers at each statement. They both were shocked by what you said, they looked at you as if you grew a second head. “But what about the others? What would they do? They’re already tired without you. It’ll already be at least 10 months by the time you return. You would open a healing wound” protested shanks “… I think she’s right, it’s better if she stays here…  it’s for the safety of her child and herself. It’s for the greater good” she sighed making you smiled slightly “if you may excuse me now, I’ll have to go now” you said politely as you exited the room.

Your eyes grew cold as you begun walking away from the room, you stood on deck and looked at the ocean. “A lot is bound to happen there without me… Oh! I’ve got the perfect song for my return now” you grinned as you turned around and jumped on the island then walked in the forest.

You saw luffy and ace training with Rayleigh which made you laugh at how they got their asses handed back to them on a silver plate.

You avoided them and went to an isolated part of the island where you looked at the ocean calmly “there’s something fishy here… I don’t want to believe myself… it sounds so weird” you chuckled to yourself, as you looked at the sea. Your hand subconsciously wrapped around your stomach and you smiled “well baby, looks like we’re staying here for a few more months. Do you think papa would be happy about this? Well no not really, he will be sad.. What do you think baby? We should leave but I want you to be safe.. What if they catch me and then you’ll be hurt.. because of me…” you muttered and you felt a kick in your stomach “Alright, alright. I’ll stop worrying about it, happy” you chuckled and you felt another kick “Sometimes I think you’re understanding me and trying to cheer me up while I’m down” you smiled “Do you think papa would be happy when he see you? You would be 4 months old when he see you… he’ll be a bit upset with me won’t he?  Maybe not a bit but that much. By the time I’m back it’ll be 10 months since I’ve ‘died’ and everyone is really hurt. Your grandpa would be very happy to know we’re alive.. oh and your uncle too! Marco is my brother! He’s the best brother ever! And there’s also his adopted brothers, oh man you have a lot of uncle’s” you laughed “Oh and uncle crocodile and Ryuu! And Enola! These two are my cousins! They’ll love you! And my dad! That ghostly little garbage, he’ll show up sometimes to bother me probably. Ah, how I miss them…“
