The hubbub was deafening, people forming crowds, punching each other, yelling at each other and there were couples making out in the middle of the streets. (i/n) island really didn't have anything charming, but it was the people that made it look this way. Somehow every rejected, desperate case ended up on this piece of earth in the middle of the ocean. And there was you, who was running away from every problem. Why that? Well, let's say that being Vegapunk's daughter was provoking some inconvenience. He was a person of knowledge, a genius that had the ability to create a magnificent invention and some crazy people would have been willing to get their hands on you, who saw him work and possessed a huge knowledge, not as impressive as his but it was a detail for these messed up people.

You chose to split up with your dad once you reached the majority, you had to take care of yourself and, staying together would have made you easier to be found. Being a single traveller allowed you to run away when you felt targeted. Each time you went to a new place, you could recall the very last discussion you had with yout father before you left: "Always stay on guard, be careful, the only person you can trust is him."

"Him" was referring to no one else than Vinsmoke Judge himself, an old colleague of his. You never knew why he still had fate in this man, who wasn't even sharing the same values as him, but here he was still hoping nothing changed, somehow. You, on the other hand never liked the guy. You rarely encountered with him before your father got caught by the Marines, you along, only to not separate him from his daughter, which was one of his greatest to be cooperative. You never felt comfortable when he was around, there was something with him that you never liked.

"It's not because you trust him that I do."

"I know (y/n), I know, but with him at least you would be safe. If by any amazing chance he's looking for you, take the opportunity. No Marines or pirates are crazy enough to attack Germa directly. If you're there..."

"Ok."

"Promise me."

You signed. Oh, and if it's going to reassure him, I guess it can't hurt. "I promise."

You shook your head, regretting your behaviour. I shouldn't have promised him something I knew I wouldn't keep, but...I guess that can't be helped anymore. Zigzagging in the messy and loud crowd of people more repellant than the other, you finally reached the small wooded area still intact of the island, where you're little one-room slum-dwelling was. Yet when your isolated house appeared in your sight, you froze: someone was there. You may be able to only see the silhouette but you were convinced the individual was facing you, hiding was not only stupid but useless. You brought your hand on your tight, feeling your gun in your pocket and after a deep breath you walked closer, trying your best to not show any sign of stress.

At each step the traits of this individual we're getting clearer and clearer. It was a man with long golden hair reaching his waist, a long and thin black along with a small beard and a prominent cleft chin. As always, he was wearing his golden warrior's helmet. Knowing the identity of this unexpected visitor, you let go of your weapon, letting it fall back in your large baggy pocket. Once close, the tall man finally spoke. "I would never have guessed you would be living in such poor conditions. It's pitiful for someone like you. You fall from pretty high." The smirk he had in his face while saying that made clench your teeth. He was arrogant to the point of being despicable. "Sorry for prioritizing survival over comfort, Vinsmoke Judge." Him not responding, you continued. "What do you want?"
