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

Memory Lane - Part 3

Sanosuke POV

I kissed the island ground with passion as waterfalls of tears, poured out of my eyes.

I would have never agreed to follow this man if I knew how crazy he was. I mean, who in their right mind placing a bass on Sea King territory? I'll tell you who, my crazy Captain but at least he was true to his word, not one Sea King manage to get close to our boat but still, I thought my heart was going to pop every time a Sea King rose out of the water to eat us.

"Sanosuke, pull yourself together. I need to enlighten you on a few important details before I introduce you to Fae but I'll only inform you on what's most important right now. . . One," he lifted a finger up. "She is not to know about anything on what's going on in the outside world. . Two," he lifted a second finger up. "She is not to know that we are pirates or what we are planning to do and lastly."

He lifted a third finger up and the air around us begin to thicken, "be very careful about what you say around her." His voice deepened and his eyes darkened dangerously as he pierced his gaze towards me, "she loves to learn new things, especially when it comes to things that interest her so, think before you speak because she will try to abstract information out of you in anyway possible and trust me, she tends to have a memory of an elephant when it comes to things that fascinate her."

I gulped, "for a seven year old she seems quite sharp for her age."

He was silent for a long moment as if he was trying to conjure up the right words, "in most aspects, yes but she's earnest, trusting, and kind." His eyes harden in detest, "but her soft heart just makes her naïve and vulnerable to manipulation."

"Manipulation?. . Uhm, well that's not good." I could feel my eyebrows wrinkling together as I frowned. "In this day and age, being gullible is dangerous."

He nodded his head in agreement, "I know. It's in her best interest to sever that kindness in her heart but. . I can't. . it's not. ." His eyes begin to fill with remorse but he closed them, letting out a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Just disregard my last remark. I told her before I left that I would find her a teacher, so she is expecting you." He uttered softly, changing the subject as he headed for the forest.

My eyes focused on his back. There is so many questions swirling inside of my head but he doesn't like it when I try to pry into his past.

I swear I can still feel the cold sweat, rolling down my spine when I asked him about his childhood and the look he gave me utterly terrifying.

The one think I do know for sure is that there are boundaries with Leon and asking questions about his childhood is definitely a forbidden topic.

I let out a sigh, but I still can't help but feel curious to why he needs to hide so many secrets. What exactly are you hiding, Leon and why hide it from your own sister? I let a another sigh and shrugged my shoulders. Whatever. I guess I'll learn everything I need to know over time.

I followed Leon into the forest and we came to a stop when a small white house came into view.

"She'll be happy to see a new face so prepare yourself to be bombarded with questions." Leon told me with a soft smile, opening the front door. We both came to a halt in the living room and Leon and I both let out a gasp when we saw how disastrous the house was.

Leon's mouth was gawking open in shock and I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing. The look on his face was priceless but eventually, he snapped out of it and irritation marks began to form all over his face. "Fae Walker!!!!!" He roared her name and I could have sworn his voice echoed across the island. A loud crash came from the kitchen and a shriek followed behind it not long after.
