Journey of the Seas (Zoro x reader)

Chapter 1

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

~Past~

"DADDY!" I jump into my father's arms smiling brightly. I felt my fathers gaze on me as I gave him a wide smile stretching its way across my face. In return to my action, he gave me a light chuckle.

"Hey, (y/n). I got you something." My gaze travels up to him in wonder.

"What is it?" My father's smile seemed to drop a bit, but he quickly recovered and smiled brightly.

"Close your eyes!" I did as I was told, being 7, I turned into a giggling mess, trying to peek.

"Now open them." I look down at my hands; I see a deck of cards in my hand.

"Daddy what are these?" I ask as I take the deck, examining it.

"This is my deck of monsters. They will protect you." Said my father. Something in his voice sounded off, it sounded as if he was distraught.

I look up at him to see him still smiling, so I smile back.

"Thank you daddy!" My father chuckled and gave me another hug. We walked into the kitchen as he placed some sort of fruit on the counter.

I look at it and poke it.

Nothing happened.

My stomach rumbled, so in response, I grab the fruit and eat it.

"EW!" I exclaim. That fruit didn't taste right! My father slowly turned to look at me, then turning to the fruit.

"(Y/n)...did you eat that fruit?" He asked with caution.

I look up at him and nod."Yea, but it didn't taste right."

He face palmed and looked back at me, "You ate a devil fruit. That one gives you the power of mid-air transportation. Basically, teleportation..."

I looked at him in shock. "So...I can teleport?"

My father nodded. "COOL!" I say happily, jumping up and down, my young mind thinking the idea of teleportation would be the greatest. But oh, how wrong I was that day.

With great power comes a great price.

~Present~

I stared out the window, watching the rain splatter against it. Sighing, my gaze travels down to the deck of cards in my hand. Shuffling the cards, I stop, staring at Number 17: Leviathan Dragon. One of the mighty sea monsters.

The Sea... the thought of it alone brings a frown to my face. Another sigh escaped my lips as I got off the window seal. I walked over to the dresser, put on a (F/c) shirt, threw on my leather jacket, and walked out of the apartment. As I shut the door, I'm greeted by the cold wind. I teleport down to the ground, turning, I walk into the woods.

~Past~

"Daddy? What's going on? Why are people trying to get in?" I ask. My father had to cover my mouth as tears slowly slide down my face.

"They want the fruit you ate, (Y/n). Listen, I need you to hide in the pantry and not make a sound. Can you do that for daddy?" he asked. His voice was full of sorrow and concern. I give a small nod.

"Hurry." He says as he shoves me to the top shelf. Finally being able to get my small form in it he said, "If anything happens teleport out of here, and don't look back."

"But dad... I don't know how too yet."

"Just try." His voice turning desperate.

Just as my father closed the door, the front door fell with a loud bang. He gasped and ran with a gun in his hand.
