Wind Demon (One Piece x Male Reader)

Return To The Blue Seas

The air was thick with tension as the Straw Hats gathered at the ancient ruins, their surroundings a stark reminder of the battles they'd just endured. The cracked stone walls, overgrown with vines, seemed to hum with the residual energy of the island's upheaval. Everyone stood or sat in various states of exhaustion, their expressions a mix of relief and lingering concern.

Zoro broke the silence, his voice low but firm. "You should... take a look at him."

Chopper followed Zoro's gaze, his eyes widening as they fell upon Wiper, who lay motionless on the ground. "Eh? You mean that guy over there?" Chopper asked, his small hoof pointing toward the fallen Shandian warrior. He scampered closer, his trained eyes immediately assessing the injuries. "Wow! You're right! He's hurt really badly! His bone's completely shattered here!"

Sanji exhaled a cloud of smoke, his brow furrowing as he leaned back against the remnants of a pillar. "Hey, isn't he one of the raiders? Why are we even helping him?"

Zoro's gaze remained steady on Wiper, his usual stoicism tinged with a hint of respect. "I don't completely understand what he's about... but I know he's at least an honorable warrior."

Sanji frowned, crossing his arms. "What are you saying? You pity him now?"

Zoro shrugged, his voice barely above a mutter. "Sort of."

The soft sound of footsteps interrupted their exchange as Aisa approached, her small frame trembling slightly but her voice resolute. "Can you help him... civet cat?"

Chopper's fur bristled, and he turned to her with an indignant shout. "I'm a reindeer! See these?! I have horns!!" He paused, softening as he added, "But don't worry... he'll be okay. I'll make sure of it."

Aisa nodded, her gaze briefly flicking to Wiper before settling on Chopper again. "Where's Miss Nami? Is she safe?"

"She's with Y/N and Luffy," Chopper replied, his tone reassuring. "So, she's probably okay."

Sanji took a long drag from his cigarette, exhaling with a wistful sigh. "What about Conis-chan? I wonder where she is..."

Usopp, sitting cross-legged nearby, glanced up. "So, what happened to the golden bell?"

"It probably fell down," he continued, his voice tinged with disappointment.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, cutting through the heavy atmosphere.

"HEY!!!"

All heads turned toward the source of the sound. From the distance, three familiar figures came into view, running toward them. Nami, Y/N, and Luffy were hauling a massive sack overflowing with treasure and food. Behind them, Conis followed closely, her face lit with relief despite the lingering worry in her eyes.

"AHHH!!!" Sanji's entire demeanor changed in an instant, hearts practically leaping from his eyes as he sprinted forward. "Miss Nami! Conis-chan!"

"Luffy! Y/N!" Usopp waved, a grin spreading across his face.

Conis's voice trembled as she reached them, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm so glad you're all safe... I was so worried, but I couldn't do a thing."

Sanji, arms wide, immediately closed the distance to her. "Oh, Conis-chan, were you really that worried about me~~~?"

"Stop acting crazy," Usopp said flatly, smacking the back of Sanji's head.

Chopper's nose twitched as he sniffed the air, his eyes lighting up. "Is that food? Where did you get it?"

Y/N adjusted the sack on his shoulder, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. "We found the priest's storage on our way here."

"There's still a ton left!" Luffy added, his grin as wide as ever.
