The Last One (One Piece x Reader)

Chapter 15: You're Worthy to Live!

A few days had passed, and you noticed that the ASL boys-Ace, Sabo, and Luffy-were growing much closer. Seeing them find brotherhood within each other warmed your heart. You couldn't help but melt every time they cuddled up to you or brought you gifts, like flowers and even gold. Yes, gold. You decided not to question where they got it from; even if you did ask or scold them, they'd just bring you more the next day.

During this time, you grew more familiar with your Devil Fruit abilities. You decided to name it the Meikai Meikai no Mi, or Underworld Fruit, since its powers seemed to connect to that dark place. However, you discovered there were limits to how much you could interact with and use the souls of the undead. Once, you exceeded those limits and were trapped in the underworld for days, surrounded by bloodied hands trying to drag you down to hell. The memory still haunts you, giving you nightmares.

Never again.

Yami warned you that abusing your power could shatter your inner soul, causing you to disappear forever.

You definitely didn't want that. Absolutely not. Fuck nooo~

"(Y/N)-Nee~!!" you heard someone shout from outside. Putting down the book you were reading, you stood up alongside Dadan. The two of you were soon greeted by three boys bursting into the cabin.

"Don't come home, you annoying brats!" Dadan yelled at them, but her words were ignored as a dead deer was thrown directly at her face.

You stood beside her, completely unfazed. Leaning down and opening your arms, you gave the boys a genuine, happy smile.

"Welcome home, boys~!" you chimed, and the three of them grinned brightly before tackling you in a group hug.

Being the strong person you are, you caught them with ease, laughing as they nuzzled against you.

"Tadaimaaa!" they said in unison, and you chuckled, a playful look of disgust crossing your face.

"Ara~ you guys are dirty! A bath after dinner is a must, alright?" You grinned, and they all nodded enthusiastically.

"Hai!"

Dadan angrily pulled the deer off her face and tossed it to Magra and Dogra, glaring at the boys in your arms.

"You're spoiling those brats, (N/N)!!" she yelled, and you responded with a smile.

"But they're so cute~" you cooed, nuzzling their cheeks. Shiro lazily meowed from his spot, watching the scene unfold.

"That's not a good reason!" Dadan exclaimed, and the boys stuck their tongues out at her in unison.

"Why you-!!!"

With no other choice, Dadan ordered her bandits to cook the giant deer.
