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

Zoro glanced at me, his gaze holding concern. Meanwhile, my gaze didn't bother to look at anyone else, it was fixed on the royal in front of me as I walked up to said man, Nefeltari. Every step I take, I feel the weight of my deck of cards grow heavier and heavier. I resisted the urge to just rip off my deck holder and chuck it somewhere randomly as I went on. Finally, stopping a few feet in front of Nefeltari, I glare.

"I advise you to be careful on the road you now tread on...Nefeltari..." I could feel the venom practically drip from my tone, and I knew everyone else could feel it as well. Though it was hardly noticeable, I saw a small flash of fear flicker in Nefeltari's eyes.

"No, you are the one that made a mistake." My hands slowly twitch into fists as I continue to glare at him.

"And what mistake was that...?!"

"Why, coming here, of course."

That...That felt like a knife was slowly being dragged across my skin, slicing me open. It hurt. So, so badly. But, my sense of pain was different now. Over the time, I grew immune to pain. Almost every. Single. Type. I felt a dark chuckle bubble up my throat as I released it, my gaze still fixed on him.

"Hmm...It appears I did. If you wish it, I can leave at this moment. Your highness." A smirk plays on my lips as I bow mockingly.

Zoro's P.O.V

Her voice...It wasn't at its usual sweet tone. It was...venomous, lethal. It held dark intent. I saw Nefeltari's face visually pale as (Y/n) gave a small, sassy bow.

"..."

"So, which will it be your highness? Leave...or stay?" She said as she rose, staring straight at him again.

"I..."

"She will stay with us." We all heard Luffy speak up, his voice plain and emotionless. What...What's going on...?

(Y/n) swirled around, a wide and twisted grin occupying her lips.

"Thank you Luffy...But, I don't have to stay."

I saw it at that moment, a glint in her eye. Her eyes...They had golden specks in them...

"No. You're the backbone of the crew." Luffy said these comforting words in an emotionless way, once more.

"Thank you captain..." Luffy nodded as Nefeltari seemed to pale even more, if that was possible.

"Leave. All of you. The only ones that are to stay are (Y/n) and Vivi. Now, go."Luffy walked away as the others hesitantly followed along. However, I glared at Nefeltari as I stood in place.

"Zoro stays as well."

My gaze transitions to (Y/n), even though her back was facing me. Nefeltari didn't seem to have any complaints as he nodded.

"Why did you do it...?" Said man spoke up.

"What did I do exactly?"

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!" Nefeltari seemed to growl, his voice irritated and venomous.
