Wind in our Sails KobyXReader

Chapter 43: Mystery Healer

After fishing for three hours and making sure you grabbed some seaweed as well you left to find a decent place for shelter. That hadn't been easy to do either, most places didn't have a roof, or were missing a wall. Another hour of walking you finally found something a small shack that had holes here and there, but it had a fire pit outside and it would provide the necessary shelter for you until tomorrow morning.

"Y/N how are we going to leave this place? There are patrols everywhere and I doubt we'll find a ship to sail."

"I don't know. First, we need to figure everything out. What 'it' showed us was just so we wouldn't step on anyone's toes while we try to stay hidden. We don't know if the people here will know who I am."

"I am not an 'it'! I am in need of a name and form. I didn't appreciate you choosing a rat as a form for me earlier today. Why couldn't you make me a bird?"

You sighed, you didn't want to think about that. You built your fire, cooked your fish and then put out the fire to not draw any unnecessary attention to yourself. Thankfully there was a wind and you didn't need to worry about the smoke leading anyone to you. You thought back to Dressrosa and what had happened after the bird cage.

~~Dressrosa~~

The pirates around you went quiet, no more yelling at each other or razzing each other about who wasn't pulling their weight. Your whole body glowed but you, and you felt all the connection that the bird cage had around the whole country. Or the city part at least, you felt and swore you could see the people who were trying to keep the cage from advancing. You felt claws tear into the cage, like it they were made of butter. It shattered, and each piece fell like snowflakes, when they landed on the people, their injuries were healed, whether they were internal injuries or external.

"Oooo I found something interesting."

Before you could really think about what that meant you felt your mind go dark and gravity  take you down. When you awoke later you were on someone's lap and you shot up only to have your head split.

"Fuck!"

"Easy there doc. You showed everyone one helluva show."

The voice of full amusement made you look behind you to see Pirate Hunter Zoro. His smirk pissed you off but you kept your voice to its monotones that you had perfected.

"Did I?" Your head zinged again and you winced and held your head in your hands.

"Crap are you good?"

His hands full of calluses and scars and how warm they were reminded you of Koby. And your heart ached. Suddenly Yoru jumped into your lap, his form now a tiny little fox. He mewled at you.

"I'm okay Yoru. My head just really hurts."

He nuzzled into your neck and you sighed.

"Hey doc you good?"

You looked to see his genuine concern on his face, which was weird to say the least coming from a pirate.

"Yeah just a migraine."

"What do you need?"

Again with the concern he was a strange man.

"Koby said you were strong and loyal, but you do know I am a marine right?"

His eyes went wide.

"You know Koby?"

'More than you'll ever understand.'

"Yeah we're friends."

You attempted to stand but nausea took over you.

"Fuck!" You turned and proceeded to vomit into a sewer line.

"Zoro-dono is she okay?"

"No does anyone have any water?"

"Ghoul doctor?"

Admiral Fujitora was beside you now, rubbing your back.

"You used too much power."

"Is everyone okay? Can you still sense everyone? Did anyone die?"

It got quiet around you. And the old man sighed.

'Stupid girl. I granted what you wanted everyone is fine.'

You jolted at the voice in your head. The noise around you got quiet again. When you looked at the blind man, his frown became a scowl.

"At this moment Ghoul Doctor, I am questioning your sanity and your lack of self-preservation."

"Join the club." You said dryly. "I've been questioning that since I was 12."

You heard someone snort, you figured it was one of the pirates. Your head was killing you, and you wished for some Belladonna, you could use some in a mint and lemon tea.

"You shattered the cage Doc." You recognized the voice as the Pirate Hunter. You turned to see him looking at you differently.

"I wasn't worried about that. I'm more concerned about the people that that psychopath was hurting. Speaking of please tell me someone killed him."

"Watch your words in our current company Doctor." Fujitora's tone was full of apprehension and warning.

"Like anyone would believe a bunch of pirates about anything I said that could be construeded as harmful to the WG." You muttered.

"Hey girl. Later when your pathetic human brain finally stops pulsing there's something you're going to want to find. It'll be entertaining for me."

~~Present time~~

A cry of pain had you alert, and you were on your feet to investigate. A few minutes later you found an older man with what could've been his son. His son was clutching at his stomach and he was crying.

Starvation pains. You sighed and were angry all over again.

"Excuse me." You said softly. "I have a few fish cooked. Why don't you two come for a meal.

~~Third Person's POV~~

Something was going on. The people in the outskirts seemed less stressed, and less sick. As he walked through he couldn't help but feel immense relief, he hated seeing the people suffering, but there was very little that could be done about it.

Structures had erected seemingly overnight, and many people were sleeping, or eating fish. As he was walking he heard the whispers.

"The healer came to me again last night."
"She made medicine from what was around."
"I'm still hungry everyday but I'm no longer in pain. Eating roots and certain flowers has helped too."
"The healed cured my son's rashes after two days. She even gave instructions on how to avoid it."
"The healer."
"The healer."
"The healer."

He went back to the capital and made his report, there was a mysterious healer, focusing on those who were on the outskirts of town. And it spelled bad news for them.
