The Last One (One Piece x Reader)

Chapter 1: An Ambitious Girl

[A/N: I'll be changing your age at this fanfic and yes, you're gonna be much older than the ASL. I think it is appropriate since most of your love interests were older men. I don't know if it is just me but I'm sick of reader fanfic that's the same age as Luffy. I want something new LMAO!]

It's the same damn day, over and over again. You're getting sick of the monotonous routine on this island. Dadan's nagging grates on your nerves, Ace is a cute little rascal, and Makino tries to entertain you with her dull stories about knights and kingdoms. The rest of your days are spent on tedious house chores.

Dragon has stopped sending you letters, and Garp hardly visits anymore. You hate it. The island is suffocating, and you're desperate to escape before you lose your mind. Ace will understand-he's only five years old, after all.

"(Y/N), get that damn bread I told you about!" Dadan's voice pierces through the house, and you roll your eyes as you rise from the grass.

"Yes, Dadan. I'm going now!" you respond as politely as you can manage. After giving Ace a quick goodbye kiss, you start down the mountain toward the town, his small arms reluctant to let you go.

"Makino better have some new information about what I asked her," you mutter under your breath.

As you make your way down the familiar path, your mind races with thoughts of escape and adventure. The island feels like a cage, and you crave something more. The trees blur as you pick up your pace, driven by frustration and a flicker of hope that Makino might have the answers you need.

What you're planning might not sit well with Dadan or Garp. It could be dangerous, reckless even, but who cares? You're fifteen, and you're damn good at swordsmanship and fighting. You could put those skills to use for good. You could become a Marine. Your Ojisan should be proud, right?

But you know Garp would never support it. He wants to keep you sheltered and protected, trapped in this boring life forever. As if you're some delicate princess. But you're not-you're a badass bitch!

Arriving in town, you head straight to the small tavern where Makino works. The place is quiet, with only a few patrons scattered around. Makino stands behind the bar, greeting you with her usual warm smile.

"Yo, pretty girly!" you call out with your usual energy, and she giggles at your unladylike manner.

"Hello, (Y/N). You seem to be in a good mood today." She smiles as she wipes down a glass. You flash her a playful grin.

"A pretty girl like yourself could make anyone happy~" You shamelessly wink at her, and she blushes.

"Stop it, you!" she replies bashfully, and you laugh.

Your laughter fades as you lean on the counter, lowering your voice. "Do you have any news? Anything about what I asked?"

Makino's smile falters slightly, and she glances around before leaning in closer. "I might have something. There's a Marine recruitment happening just outside the Goa Kingdom. They're looking for new recruits."
