Wind Demon (One Piece x Male Reader)

Sanji's Nightmare

Several Days Later...

The sea stretched endlessly before them, but the sight ahead made every mile of their journey worth it.

"We're here... We're finally here! We made it!" Luffy's voice rang out with pure exhilaration, his arms flung wide open as he grinned up at the towering red wall before them. His excitement was infectious, his eyes glistening with wonder and pride.

The massive structure before them was awe-inspiring—The Red Line. A seemingly insurmountable wall of crimson rock that stretched infinitely into the sky, dividing the Grand Line into two halves.

Nami let out a long sigh, folding her arms as she took it all in. "It feels kinda nostalgic... I'm getting a little choked up," she admitted, her voice tinged with sentimentality. The breeze played with her hair as she stared at the great divide, memories flashing through her mind.

Y/N smirked as he watched the waves crash against the monumental wall. "That day... it was raining fiercely," he recalled, his voice low with reminiscence. It felt like a lifetime ago since they had first set sail together, each of them so different from who they were back then.

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke before smirking. "It's been one hell of a ride," he mused, his voice carrying a quiet fondness for the journey they'd endured.

Zoro crossed his arms, tilting his head slightly as he eyed the wall. A faint smirk tugged at his lips. "I wonder if we've matured a little since then..." he said, though the way his crew looked at each other with unwavering determination told him the answer.

Brook let out a bellowing laugh, his skeletal jaw opening wide. "Yo-ho-ho! You guys had it easy! It took me fifty years to get here!" He tilted his head back, chuckling despite the bittersweet sting in his words.

Luffy, still grinning like a kid seeing the ocean for the first time, beamed up at the wall. "We've reached the halfway point! Twin Cape, where we met Laboon, is just on the other side of the world connected to this wall! I'm so glad we made it this far without losing anyone!" His voice carried a sense of gratitude, though his grip on his straw hat tightened slightly.

Chopper, standing on the railing, craned his neck to look up. His eyes grew wide with disbelief. "I can't see the top! This thing is HUGE!!" he exclaimed, sweating slightly at its overwhelming presence.

Y/N chuckled, clapping a hand on Chopper's tiny back. "This is the Red Line!" he grinned, feeling an immense sense of accomplishment just standing before it.

Tears welled in Usopp's eyes as he sniffled dramatically. "I'm tearing up! We've been through so much to get here!" He wiped his face furiously, pretending not to be moved.

Franky let out a chuckle, running a hand through his blue hair. "When I was just a baby, I came from South Blue via Reverse Mountain... But that was over thirty years ago," he said with a nostalgic smile.

Robin, standing beside him, nodded softly. "Five years ago, I came from West Blue to this ocean," she added, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Luffy's gaze darkened with resolve as he stepped forward. He raised a fist toward the sky, his voice ringing with determination. "If we sail around the other half of the world, we'll encounter this wall one more time. And when that happens... I'll be the King of the Pirates!"

His words ignited something within them all. The Straw Hats turned to look at him, their expressions fierce with shared conviction.

"Shishishi!" Luffy chuckled, his grin wide and full of confidence, while his crew stood beside him, each of them ready to conquer whatever lay ahead.

...

The ship rocked gently on the quiet waters.

"We have to be extra careful," Nami warned, her expression serious as she pointed at a map on the deck. "The Sacred Land of Marijoa, Navy Headquarters, and the World Government are really close by!" Her tone was sharp, reminding everyone of the lurking dangers.
