Chapter 75: Marineford and the Red Haired Pirates

(Y/N) scratched the back of her head nervously. "Yep.. that's me. But still, this is incredible to meet you! I've even heard from Grap that you're a king or something?" The men laughed at (Y/N)'s words before Shanks explained that he is one of the Four Emperors of the New World. "Ah okay... wait. Don't tell me we're in the New World, right now?!" Worry ran across the (h/c) haired woman's face.

"No, why?" Shanks looked at her in concerned confusion as relief washed over (Y/N)'s face.

"To sum everything up, Bartholomew Kuma used his Paw Paw power on me and I would have to assume the rest of my crew..." (Y/N) hesitated before continuing. The events that happened prior to her being set through the sky flashed in her mind making (Y/N)'s eyes water. "I watched Zoro, Usopp and Brook disappear before my eyes... I was too exhausted from the last pacifist we fought to run away from Kuma... I don't even know where they are or if they're okay?!" The woman fell to her knees sobbing into her hands. The Red-Haired pirates just looked at her with frowns on their faces before she looked up at Shanks. "I lost all of them... and now I'm lost myself."

Shanks crouched down to (Y/N), pulling her in a hug. "I know how hard it is to lose one crew mate, I can't begin to imagine losing them all at once." (Y/N) sobbed even harder into his shoulder as Shanks held her tightly.

After a few minutes of crying, (Y/N) broke off Shanks' hug. "Thank you..." The woman wiped her tears away, sniffling as she spoke. "Thank you for understanding and taking care of me. But I need to get back to the archipelago right away. I don't know when they will come back. I need to be there for them."

"Archipelago? Like Sabaody Archpelago?" Shanks tilted his head in confusion.

"Yes! Sabaody! Do you guys know the best way to get there? Maybe you could drop me off on the nearest island? If that wouldn't be too much of an issue..." (Y/N) look slightly defeated by her words.

"How about we take you there ourselves? It's the least I can do for one of Luffy's friends, let alone crew mates." (Y/N) smiled brightly at Shank's words.

"Really?! You'll do that for me??!"

"Of course, but we are on our way to Marineford as we speak. Could you wait a little bit longer with us? We won't be there for long." Shanks smiled at the woman.

"Of fucking course! You're taking be back to my friends after all. I'll wait however long, if it means I get to see them another day!" Shanks' crew cheered at (Y/N)'s words.

Shanks helped (Y/N) up before turning to his crew. "I think this calls for a celebration." Benn handed Shanks and (Y/N) a cup of booze. "To Luffy's friend, (Y/N)!" Everyone cheered before they drank and started partying right then and there. Shanks turned to (Y/N) as his crew partied behind him. "You should get some rest. When we found you, you sustained some pretty bad injuries."

"Yeah..." (Y/N) placed her hand on her left eye, frowning a bit from the pain she felt.

"Don't worry about that. Our ship doctor said that you will be able to see from your eye again if you give it proper time to heal, so don't take off your bandages for the next six to eight weeks. Okay?" Shanks smiled back at the woman.

(Y/N) nodded her head in agreement before looking down at the clothes she was wearing. "Geez. These are a little big of me."

"Yeah..." Shanks lightly blushed, looking away from (Y/N).

Benn quickly peaked between the two, looking at (Y/N) as he explained. "We don't have a lot of ladies on the ship, so Shanks here offered a pair of his clothes to help you out. Don't take it as an act of kindness, everyone knows the pervert just wanted to see a cutie like you in his clothes."
