My Brother's Keepsake (Sabo x Reader)

Final Chapter: Freedom

"500 000 000? Wow! Luffy-kun's outdone himself this time." You smiled looking at the wanted poster the next day at sea. "I bet Sabo's really happy."

"Well," Kai said looking over your shoulder. "That's to be expected, I mean, he and Trafalgar Law worked together to bring down Doflamingo. Man, I'm never gonna get my bounty that high!"

Maya laughed, 'It's ten times yours.'

The three of you were sitting out on the deck of the ship on the way to the Kammabaka Kingdom. You were going to be travelling for a while, and meeting an ally on an island close to the Redline where you would get your ship coated again for the journey through Fishman Island.

"Hey, don't make fun of me, I'm in charge of the ship, you know... I can assign you the worst duties ever." Kai huffed, looking annoyed at Maya.

"I think it's a good thing." You said, watching Rouge playing on the floor with the toys that you had gotten from Marco. "I mean, you can go on stealth missions without being recognised can't you?"

He paused, "I suppose." Kai seemed to enjoy being in charge, taking the opportunity to try getting into a leadership role, which you were sure was what Sabo had in mind when he gave him this mission. "But Sensei said that when he comes back, we can start training in haki, so I can't wait to get even stronger."

"That's great, Kai. Look at you acting mature!" You smiled.

"Of course, I figured it out, that's what you like, right Y/N-san?" He grinned. "You like strong men, so if I get stronger than Sabo-sensei, I bet you'll leave him for me, no que-"

Maya picked up a toy and threw it right on his face, while she wore a scowl on hers.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Kai said clutching his head.

"Yeah, you deserved that for being so completely dense." You laughed.

"Dense? What did I do?" He asked, as Maya pouted, picked up Rouge and went back inside.

"What was that about?" He wondered, and just then, out of nowhere, the sky started to darken.

"Kai!" The navigator called from the crow's nest, "We're approaching the next island, a rain of lightning is coming this way in about a minute!"

"WHAT?!" Kai asked panicked.

"Sorry, I'm not as good at catching these things on time as Sabo-san. We need to go east!" The navigator said.

"Okay, okay. First, Y/N-san, get inside the ship, you'll be safe there." Kai said, and you nodded. "Then, um, right, Tetsu, turn hard to starboard! Hurry everyone, raise the sails!"

Everyone hearing the orders immediately set out to work, and you went inside so you would not get caught in the storm. While he panicked a little, you thought Kai seemed to be doing a decent job.

***
Two weeks after you arrived to Momoiro Island, you were busy gathering cooking ingredients with Tiffany. Sabo was leaving Baltigo today, so he would be here with Koala and Dragon-sama and everyone else in a few days. You wanted to prepare something good to welcome them to your new home. While you were looking for a certain root, Inazuma hurried up to you with a worried look on her face.

"Y/N, hurry back to the palace, something urgent has come up!" She said.

You had never seen her look that worried before, so you followed her inside, where Iva sat reading the World Economic Journal. He looked up when you came in, and seemed hesitant to show you what he was reading.

You frowned in that moment because you could tell that something was wrong. "What is it?" You asked.

"Well, nothing is confirmed yet, so I don't want you to worry since it might just be nothing." Iva said, still holding the newspaper.
