The Last One (One Piece x Reader)

Chapter 33: The Last Piece

4 years later...

This is one of the most peaceful days you've fortunately encountered during your stay at HQ. Although Akainu is still a dickhead, there are times when he's a bit less, well, Akainu. His temper has improved too.

You're in the cafeteria, enjoying a solitary merienda. Not many marines have the privilege of free time, but as a vice admiral, you play by your own rules. You'll do whatever the hell you want.

With a newspaper in your non-dominant hand and your favorite pastry in the other, you glance through the pages. There's not much of interest, so you set the paper back on the table and focus on enjoying your treat.

"(Y/N)!" A hand smacked the back of your head, causing you to choke on your food. You sputtered and started pounding your chest in a desperate attempt to breathe.

You heard a giggle as you found yourself enveloped in a pair of big boobies.

"Ah, (Y/N)-chan, it's so nice to see you again! I heard you're a vice admiral now; I'm so proud of you!" Asahi squealed, and you continued to choke for dear life.

"Asahi-san, you're literally killing her!" Samuel exclaimed as he rushed into view.

Asahi released you from her vice-like grip, and you gasped for air, trying to regain your composure. "I'm fine! Just give me a second," you wheezed, waving your hand dismissively.

Finally managing to swallow the offending treat, you took a deep breath. "Geez, Asahi. You almost killed me." You playfully glared at the smaller girl, who simply smiled back at you.

"I'm sorry, (Y/N)-chan! I was just so excited when I saw you. It's been so long!" she said, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

"Yeah... sorry for not contacting any of you since I left," you muttered, rubbing the back of your neck awkwardly. You hadn't reached out since joining The Pillars, and you felt a mix of guilt and relief that they didn't seem upset.

"No worries, man. We know you've been busy! We're just happy to see you doing well on your own!" Samuel exclaimed, his warm blue eyes shining with kindness. You had missed those eyes more than you realized.

Unable to contain yourself, you engulfed the annoying bastard in a tight hug. "Damn it, Samuel!" you whined, resisting the urge to cry as he chuckled softly, clearly amused by your emotional display.

You quickly let go of him, blushing mildy at your own actions. Samuel straightened up, his face red as he laugh nervously, he's greatly surprised of you hug. You're not the type to hug someone. Asahi couldn't help but giggle at this knowing something you don't about the poor guy.

"So, how's life, (Y/N)-chan?" Asahi asked, clapping her hands together with excitement.

You finally snapped out of your embarrassment and smiled at her. "Oh, it's nothing special," you replied, suppressing the truth. It's killing me.
