"Um... h-hi." You turned your head to the heard greeting and found a pair of deep blue eyes staring into you (E/C) ones. You were sure, it was this girl called Koala. You had been introduced to her earlier. Nodding your head as your sole response, you noticed she kept being a bit more insecure. She looked like a cheerful girl, so why was she acting so strange? "M-May I sit?"


"Sure." You replied quickly, turning back to your food. She sat down to your left and started eating as well, all the while looking at you from the corner of her eye. A sigh falling from your lips made her look to the front again, but it was too late; you had noticed her staring. "Is there something you need, Koala-san?"


"No!" She squeaked, lifting her arms in defense. "It's just that since you are new here I wanted to meet you... B-But that's a quite gloomy face you have here..." You sighed, trying your best to soften your expression so you could look at her normally.


"I've just... been through something bad..." You mumbled, and she nodded, not really coming to understand. She finished her meal and got up again, closing her eyes, as her expression suddenly turned sad. 


"A friend of mine is not okay, so I'm a bit down as well." You looked at her with a reassuring look in your eyes. "Do you want to see him?" Shrugging your shoulders was everything you could do, as she led you somewhere within the Revolutionary Base.



"So this is Sabo..." You muttered, stoic look on your face as you eyed the unconscious boy. He seemed to be sleeping, but you knew it couldn't just be a brief slumber.


"He's been out for three days now. I'm really worried." A sniffle came her way, and you realized she really must love him. Next to her was a fishman who had been introduced to you as Hack. He looked just as worried as Koala.


"What happened to him?" She looked at you with teary eyes and bit her lip.


"He broke down when he read the latest newspaper. They were shocking news, apparently." Your eyes widened, realizing what those news were. Feeling your heart being pierced, you had to resist the urge to show anything. It had been just a few days since that happened, yet it kept recording into your mind. It was horrible. "Sabo!" You snapped your head towards the mentioned blond, and your eyes widened in disbelief. He immediately sat up, eyes wide and disbelieving. "You had us so worried!" Koala kept on babbling while the boy looked around, as if searching for answers. 


"Koala... Hack..." He mumbled, taking a hand to his head. His eyes were then on you, and he grimaced while arching an eyebrow, maybe because of an intense headache. "Who are you?" You couldn't answer, too surprised and bewildered to actually do anything. How was this possible...? He is-


"She is a new Revolutionary, (Y/N)." Dragon explained calmly, coming out of nowhere, and you looked down, instantly dashing for the door while avoiding any contact with the leader. 


They just stared at you speechless for some seconds of pure silence, until Koala started whimpering how much he had missed him. He had to keep telling her that he was okay -although he wasn't. And what Dragon had said moments ago had woken up his curiosity about you. What did he mean by connection?
