Human (eng. vers) (Heat x OC)

7.

I remember that my mother liked to dance ... Sometimes I joined her and we danced until night fell. Avoiding the stones of the villagers on our way was a game. I remember the lullaby that my father taught me, I sang it when I was afraid ....

I had accompanied Len on the bridge this evening, he was in charge of surveillance in the crow's nest with Droy, he always seemed to be avoiding me but he no longer had that murderous gleam in his eyes. Len confessed to me that his hometown was destroyed by creatures like me, he nevertheless seemed to have started to trust me a few days ago after I saved Len's life ...

"Marines !!!"

Everyone was running across the bridge, preparing to fight. The captain seemed to be very excited to fight.

Before joining the others, Heat had grabbed Iris by the arm and given her a dagger. She still didn't know how to defend herself well, but he couldn't let her fight without a weapon. The young woman watched the enemy boat approach and a shiver ran through her spine.

"Iris..."

She looked at him trying to hide the panic in her eyes but he noticed and took her face in her hands.

"Everything will be fine. They won't hurt you anymore, you're a pirate now and you're one of us, if you ever get in trouble come to see me or go to Wire."

"... I'm afraid."

"It's good ... You will overcome it and become stronger, don't let it consume you, it's just like all those who say bad things about you, you know they are wrong. You know you not what they claim you are. "

Iris smiled and breathed deeply. She was going to join the cabin boys but before she turned around and placed a kiss on the forehead of Heat.

When the battle started, the young woman avoided being too close to bloodshed, she bit the opponents a little too close, poisoning them and plunging them into silent agony.

"Hey! Come here you monster !"

She turned her head thinking that this words were addressed to her but they were for Heat, a hiss escaped from Iris' mouth but she did nothing, the man had not even had time to act, burning on the spot. She saw him then, the look of pleasure in his eyes, he liked to consume things, until there was nothing left. But why so much sadness in his eyes?

"Hey! Are you going to help the monster?"

On the other hand, that voice ... It was Droy, he had just slit a man's throat and was advancing with the beheaded head of a marine and advancing towards her. Iris put her hands on her nose and stepped back.

"What !? You're not going to tell me you're scared of blood after what you almost did the other night !? If the boss hadn't found you be sure of something, I would have cut your throat myself for a long time! "

As if it were nothing, he pulled towards another man in white, his body falling to the ground.

"Stopped."

She asked but a cry caught their attention, Len had just flipped into the sea.

"Little brother !"

Little brother ? They were from the same family !?

Droy approached the railing and hesitated to jump, he had eaten a devil fruit, he had the power to control the spirit, he could show to his adversaries what he wanted but only on the weak of spirit. As he was about to jump, he stopped when Iris dived.
