Love-At-First-Sight (Katakuri × Fae) (One piece) (Completed)

Confrontation

Oven POV

I followed suit behind Katakuri who was literally on the verge of flying in to a rampage but I knew he was holding himself together by a single piece of thread for Fae’s sake.

I stole a quick glance at him and I caught a glimmer of worry in his crimson eyes. I knew his mind was on Fae because mine was too but we can’t help her if we allow the enemy to pursue any further on our territory and he knew that just as much as I did. I just hope Fae is somewhere safe for everyone’s sake.

Katakuri POV

When we finally got to the edge of the island, I was surprised to find an empty battle field and I was even more surprised at the lack of casualties. I was expecting more bloodshed but none of our chess soldiers had any fatal injuries and from what they reported, it was Neptune’s soldiers who attacked us but I’m more worried about why they immediately retreated before the battle even started.

Why did they retreat? It makes no sense and why did the sea dwellers attack our troops in the first place? I thought we had an agreement with Jinbe, so why did they attack us? Don’t tell me this was just a diversion but for what?

“Where is Jinbe?!” I demanded, glaring down at everyone but they just looked worriedly at one another, hoping someone would know and speak up but no one did.

I grabbed the closest trembling troop by the collar of his shirt, “find him.” I growled in low deep voice before dropping him to the ground. “Y-yes, s-sir!” and he took off running with a handful of other troops.

Where the fuck is he?! And why have I just now noticed that I haven’t seen him since the Tea Party, at least not since he declared Fae was a Princess. . . . My heart sank, don’t tell me this ambush had something to do with Fae this whole time?

My mind was roaring in rage and I wanted to rip apart everyone and everything in my path until I found her but now's not the time for me to start acting like a mindless blood thirty beast.

I don’t want Fae to ever see that cold, thirsty beast I once was but it’s getting harder to control that monstrous side of me by the second. “Did the girls find Fae?” I asked Daifuku, hearing the venom in my words and Daifuku winced a little when I made eye contact with him.

He took a breath as his eyes darted away from mine in a hurry. “No. No one can seem to find her.” He whispered and everyone around took a couple of steps back, sensing my blood lust rising as it radiated off of me in bulks.

Dammit! Nothing is going to according to plan!

“Well this just saves me the trouble of having to look for ya.” A dark sinister voice spoke through a black cloud of ash as the smell of fresh blood filled the air like a strong perfume.

The black ash spun in the air until a figure formed at the edge of the island and there stood a very spiteful Leon. His minacious red eyes glowed dangerously as he wore a devilishly dark smirk.

Leon. . I actually was expecting him to show up sooner then expected but I was hoping he wouldn’t.

"Never underestimate the power of jet dials." He hummed with an arrogant smirk plastered on his face, almost as if he could tell what I was thinking.

The chess soldiers froze in terror for a split moment but eventually pointed their weapons, charging at him. “No! Don’t!” I shouted but it was to late, a swarm of black ash circled around them, turning their bodies into nothing but a cloud of dust as there weapons hit the ground and the gentle breeze carried there screams and ashes away.
