Carry On The Will ( luffy x oc female )

chapter 37

" well....... he didnt know about Rose until minutes before he ..........before akainu.........., * deep breath* anyway, I found out I was pregnant when he had already left to confront blackbeard............"

Jules told sabo everything. he wanted to know it all. it hurt knowing what Jules went through. he noticed how sometimes during the conversation her breathing would get difficult and how her eyes would get moist. but everytime it happened In a few moments she would be fine. sabo soon realised that it was luffy, everytime he saw her get uncomfortable or on verge of a panic attack he would tighten his hold on her hand reassuring her or distracting her from the panic. nobody else except for robin and Sabo noticed this. 

sabo had a small smile as he and luffy sat on the grassy deck playing with Rose. " sa- bo" the blond heard a small voice call out. he looked down to see Rose looking up at him with her big innocent eyes. " hey there, what is it?" he asked softly with a smile. " sabo hat is pwetty, like fifi." Rose said trying to reach the blonds hat. " you like it? here" sabo said as he took off his hat and put on her small head. the hat was too big for her and it fell on her face covering it completely. Sabo couldn't help but laugh at how cute it was. Rose panicked as she couldn't see anything. " fifi, mumma, fifi" she cried out. sabo immediately picked up his hat. Rose stopped crying finally able to see things. but luffy and Jules were already there with scared faces. the two were worried when they heard Rose crying out to them.

" fifi," Rose said as she jumped towards luffy who imedietly caught her and hugged her. " what happened chubs? why were you crying?" luffy asked Rose. the girl just hugged him not saying anything. " what happened Sabo?" Jules asked looking at the blond.

" ummm, you see she liked my hat and I put it on her head and she got blinded by it cause its big and then started crying cause she couldn't see." Sabo said scratching the back of his neck. oh Jules is gonna be so mad at him. it was technically his first encounter with Rose alone and he made her cry. he is not a good uncle. as he looked down waiting for the scolding, it never came.

instead Jules and luffy started to laugh while Rose still held onto luffy tightly. " wh....why are you guys laughing?' Sabo asked confused. he was so sure Jules was gonna be mad at him. " oh sabo why do you look so worried. the same thing happened when luffy gave her his hat. though it didn't blind her completely but still." Jules said still laughing remembering that day and imagining Rose with Sabo's hat covering her face. it was so damn cute and hilarious.

" yes, she was running around not able to see anything and crying. chubs looked like a tortoise. shishishishishi." luffy said laughing hysterically. " oh yeah she did look like a tortoise." Jules agreed. at this point sabo had relaxed and started laughing too thinking about how cute Rose looked in his hat. Rose just looked at the three with a frown not liking that they are laughing at her.

as they all laughed sabo couldn't help but think. ' she is happy Ace and so is Rose, they are happy with luffy, I guess I'll leave them with him. he will protect them and if anything ever happens I'll come to help no matter what. they need his sunshine to be happy again after what happened.' 

sabo thought.with a smile

it was evening now and it was time to go for sabo. he just came to meet Jules and Rose and check up on luffy too. luffy was sad that Sabo was leaving so soon and sat on the figure head of sunny with a frown. " oi crybaby, I am leaving wont you see me off?" sabo asked standing beside luffy. " why cant you stay longer?" luffy asked with a puppy face. he had learned that firm Rose. it worked most of the time with zoro, robin, franky, brook and jimbe. and now it could work on sabo too. but still he had to leave. he had his duties as the chief of staff of revolutionary army. 

" you know I have to leave, but we can always meet again, you know that luffy." sabo said sitting down beside the younger of the two.  after that there was silence well except for luffy mumbling how mean sabo is. 

" i am happy luffy." sabo said catching luffy's attention. " that's good. but i am sad that you are leaving so soon" luffy said still mad. sabo chluked and ruffled the younger's jet black hair. " i am happy that you are there for Jules and Rose. i......i was thinking of taking them to our base to keep them safe but, they are happy here. with you and your crew. i am happy that you can protect them and keep them happy. they are Ace's family. Jules is the woman he loves and Rose his his family by blood.  ONLY family by blood. we have to protect them and keep them happy luffy. i am happy that you are doing exactly that." sabo said staring the vast sea in front of him.

" i promised Ace. the day Jules and Rose came to our ship and we found out who they really are i made a promise to Ace, that I'll always protect them. he didn't keep his promise to me but I'll keep mine to him. i got stronger in last two years to protect who are dear to me and I'll do just that. i don't want to see them in pain again. Jules......she .......she still suffers from his death. she has been better but its not still over. i want her to stop having those attacks Sabo. and i don't want Rose to be sad because she misses her dad." luffy said seriously.

sabo had never seen luffy so serious. true, luffy was still his childish self but Sabo realized that after Ace's death he became a little mature. luffy had a mature and reasonable and responsible side to him now. it was kind of sad to see his little brother grow up like this with harsh reality but it was also reliving to see how much he had grown and how strong he had got. it was hard to believe that luffy is an empower of the see when he is so childish but right now with that serious look on his face there is no doubt this young man is one of the four yonko.

" i am proud of you luffy, and i am sure Ace is too." sabo said with a smile and luffy had a fond smile on his face too.

as sabo sailed away from the sunny he waved at the starwhat crew who waved back. all with a huge smile on their faces. sabo saw luffy holding Rose in one arm and waving at him with the other. luffy looked at Jules beside him who too had a big smile on her face. she looked happy and he was happy to know that. this is how she should always be. happy and smiling not depressed, crying and panicking. as the sun set at the horizon the orange glow in Jules's turquoise eyes looked beautiful to the young captain. those eyes were really magical.

on the other hand sabo couldn't help but cluck as he saw luffy. well he'll see how this goes.

- guess someone might seal your treasure Ace - sabo thought as he laughed still waving back as the ship faded into the endless sea.
