(A/N - A little supernova action... 😏)
Most of us split up, as we all wanted to discover the island more before we have t leave, but I went on my own after getting my allowance.
Before I left the group, I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Sanji. He looked at me with almost a look of Empathy, before he hugged me.
I just sat in his arms, still shocked at the things Hatchin told us earlier as Sanji let go and rejoined his group.
After walking to the Grove of my choice, I brushed off what happened.
'There's no way people are just going to kill someone for something as stupid as walking in front of them.'
I decided to shake it off and decided that I'm not related to someone who would do that.
I took a look at my allowance and decided I'll have to bargain as much as I could. She gave me a little extra, but the things I came to get were slightly pricy.
I was in a basic shopping zone, with Bars, restaurants, and stores. I was on island #24, and the buildings were not very well taken care of.

~~~Back with (Y/N)~~~
I had only gotten a few things on my list, some pencils, a new notebook, scissors, and some bandage tape. I looked around for someone to ask about some camera film and just went to the nearest person.
I walked up to a group of people matching outfits, most likely in the same group. They were mostly wearing orange, yellow, and black.
I went to the person they were following and tapped his shoulder lightly.
"Excuse me, sir?" I asked with a smile.
He turned to me with a small smile, though barely noticeable. He had black hair, a yellow shirt with jeans, and a white hat with black spots.
Once he turned to me, I immediately felt intimidated. I also noticed the giant sword over his shoulder, which didn't help.
"What do you need?" He said, as he stopped walking and turned towards me completely, with the people with him following stopping as well.
"I-I, um... D-Do you know how to get to Grove...#13?" I don't know why I got so nervous, he just got intimidating when he looked at me, and he was decently taller than I was, enough to look down at me.
I think he noticed I got nervous, as his smirk grew, "Go back to the Grove you came from but take the middle bridge instead of the left one. You should find the way from there."
"R-Right. Thanks..." I paused, expecting to hear his name.
He turned and continued to walk, "Law."
I smiled, "Thanks! Nice to meet you, Law." I smiled as I started walking.
"Nice to meet you, Red Wood-ya."
I whipped my head around.
'HE KNOWS MY NA-'
...
'H-He's gone?!'
I kept looking, seeing that Law and the group he was with were nowhere to be seen!
I decided to just go where he told me, feeling eyes in the back of my head.
I brushed off him knowing my name. It's on my bounty poster, so anyone who goes around populated cities will most likely see it.
I went the way Law told me and to my surprise, I was where I was heading. I found a film store and stood outside, trying to remember what type of camera I have, but I felt some people behind me.
"Hey, you." a lower voice said. I sighed and turned around with my nicest smile to see three guys, all a little taller than me, "Is your name Red Wood (Y/N)?"
I chuckled nervously, "Uh, no sir, it's not. I-I'll be on my way now." I said to the thuggish-looking men, turning on my heels and going down the nearest Alley.
I know, I know, "(Y/N), ArE yOu StUpId? Who gOeS dOwN aN aLlEy?"
Well, I know that this alley goes all the way through, and it's pretty big, so if I need to find a way out I could. The alley leads to another street, so I could lose them there and go back down the same alley to the camera store.
I went down the alley, and not to my surprise, they followed me, though they did something I didn't expect.
One guy came up behind me, wrapping his arm around my waist, trapping one arm, as he used his other hand to cover my mouth.
I started freaking out, using my one free arm to throw punches at him. I tried reaching the wall to be able to use my devil fruit, but it was no use, so I just decided to use the guy who was holding me.
I held the hand he used to cover my mouth and spawned a beam of wood that rocketed off his hand and shot into his face, making him loosen his hold enough to let me out.
I jumped from his grasp and faced the group, with the two other thugs nervous for the one I just hit. Once the main guy snapped out of it, all three of them looked at me.
I sighed.
'I guess I'm not going to keep this on the low...'
I rolled up the sleeves of my white T-shirt and balled my fists before I felt someone behind me.
I felt a hand on my shoulder that pushed me out of the way as I saw two people walk past me. Very... interesting, characters...
The first one, the one who held my shoulder, was very tall. He had a large red cape, black and yellow pants, a gun holster across his chest, punk goggles in his hair, with his bright red hair wavily standing up.
The Red Head went over to the thugs from before and cracked his knuckles, as the thugs... cowered at the sight of him!
"J-Just by looking at them..." I muttered to myself as the Redhead started threatening the thugs.
"Yeah... He has that effect on people..." I turned to see the second person enter the Alleyway, and he was just as tall as the first guy.
He had very long blonde hair that lay behind his blue shirt and an extremely build a figure, just like the first guy. The only strange thing about him was the mask on his face, stripped blue and white.
I smiled nervously and pointed to the redhead, "So, who's he?"
I couldn't see his face, but the blonde seemed to have a shocked reaction, "You... don't know?"
I shook my head, to which he sighed and looked at the man, who was now... beating up the thugs to an almost harsh degree, "He's Eustass "Captain" Kid, with a bounty of 315 million."
I felt the air leave my body as he said the bounty, as I turned to the man in blue, "So, th-that must make you..."
I didn't sense any bragging tone about him as he said, "Killer. 162 million."
My soul left my body as I stuttered, "W-Well... He seems strong enough for that bounty."
Killer nodded as he looked toward his captain, "Yeah, he just needed to blow off some steam. He just fought someone he doesn't fancy."
I nodded, as I looked back at the redhead, Kid, as I noticed he just finished beating up the thugs. He turned and looked at the two of us, looking at Killer before me.
Once he did look at me, he studied me for a minute. I think he knew I was nervous after hearing his bounty, looking me up and down before smirking, "You have 10 seconds to leave."
I took a step back, "R-Right." I turned to Killer, "Maybe I'll see you again?"
"That'd be nice-" [Killer]
"5." [Kid]
"I-I'M GOING!" [(Y/N)]
I walked past the redhead as he walked toward his friend. As I left the alley, I heard them talking, but I couldn't hear what they said.
I went into the camera store and got the extra film. I left and got directions to the last stop I needed to make, which was a jewelry store, and found the fastest way to get there is through Sabaody Park.
I thanked the man I asked and headed to the store. As soon as I got into the amusement park, I heard a familiar voice.
"Didn't the lady say he likes this place?!" [Luffy]
"On the off chance, he's not in this lawless area!" [Pappag]
I started walking over as I heard another voice.
"Wow! The Ferris Wheel! I've never seen it so close before!" [Camie]
"Hey, guys!" I called as I reached the group, slightly waving my hand.
The group consisted of Luffy, Chopper, Brook, Camie, Pappag, Hatchan, and now myself.
"Hey (Y/N)!" Chopper said as he ran up to me, "Wanna join us in the Park?"
"Hmm... Maybe for a little bit, but I still have one stop to make, so I won't be here long."
"Alright, guys! Let's have fun!" Luffy said, throwing his fist in the air.
"Yeah!" [Camie, (Y/N), Brook, Chopper]
"You really don't plan on looking for him, do you?!" [Pappagu]
"Yay!" Camie said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me with the rest of the group, despite Pappagu yelling after us.
The first thing we rode was an insanely fast and high roller coaster that made everyone dizzy. When we all got off, we were all laughing and talking... except for Brook, who couldn't quite handle it.
Because Brook couldn't handle it, he took a break as we rode the carousel, which was fun because Camie, Luffy, and I rode the same horse, as Luffy was joking and doing flips, making Camie and I laugh like crazy.
After that, we rode one of those drop rides, and I felt bad, because Brook didn't know it was a scary ride, so when he dropped, he screamed like a girl.
Then, after Brook got his bearings, we went to a Teacup ride, except instead of teacups, like most of the other rides, they were replaced with bubbles.
I wanted to go with Camie but Luffy insisted I go with him, Chopper, and Brook. We were all in two Teacups, with Luffy, Chopper, Brook, and Myself in one cup, and Pappagu, Camie, and Hatchan in another.
Pappagu and Luffy spun the cups so fast that they fell off their hinges! We were all right outside the ride as I leaned against Camie, both of us fighting for consciousness.
The final thing I agreed to do was the Ferris Wheel. Camie wanted me to go and so did Luffy and Chopper, and I decided, why not? I know a Ferris Wheel. Quick, Fun, and then I can get back to my Shopping.
The others in our group took up one bubble, so Luffy, Camie, and I waited for the next one. When it got there, Luffy grabbed one hand and Camie grabbed another as they yanked me inside.
"Wow! We're so high up!" Camie gasped as she pressed her face against the bubble. I giggled because we were only about halfway up, "Oh! They're selling Ice cream, (Y/N)-chin, Luffy-chin!"
"For real?!" Luffy asked looking out the bubble. Camie kept gawking at the scenery and how high up we were. Camie was looking out the window all over the bubble. But was right now looking out to my right, as Luffy sat on my left.
"It's the ocean, the ocean, (Y/N)-chin!"
"I didn't know you could see it from here!" I smiled as I turned in my seat and looked as well.
"Wow! Wow!" Camie said, and I started to notice tears in her eyes, "So this is how it looks!"
Luffy looked over and chuckled, "So it's enough to make you cry?"
"Yeah! I've always dreamed of this ever since I was a little girl!" Camie said as she wiped away a tear and turned to me, "I've never been up this high before!" She looked between Luffy and me, "I'll cherish this memory forever, thank you!"
"Huh?" Luffy asked.
"Hatchin and Pappagu only let me up here because you guys are so strong!" She explained, and I kept that in my mind...
'Why would they need to be strong so she can have fun?'
Luffy had an accomplished smirk n his face as we sat and listened to Camie ramble about what she sees.
Once we got off the Ferris Wheel, the crew immediately ran to a Gondola, and I just decided to slip away. I know that rest of the crew will get in touch with the Ship Coater any minute now, and I want to finish my shopping before that.
As I was leaving the park, I accidentally ran into someone in a mascot costume. I apologized and turned to walk away, but he grabbed my hand, just staring at me.
I got on my guard, "E-Excuse me, sir. Please let go." I said, but he still didn't let go.
I looked at the hand and pulled a little harder, and finally got my hand out of his, but not without some red on my wrist. I looked at him with suspicion as he walked away, but I didn't let him loose without placing a small tracker in the suit of the mascot.
I left for my final destination, which was a jewelry store. I bought a small pink gem on a little red string that was meant to be tied around a sword. I got it for Zoro because I wanted him to put it on his sword.
When I left the building, I noticed someone on the ground, bleeding!
I rushed over and rummaged through my bag, pulling out the medical tape I got earlier and tearing the bottom of my shirt. I yelled aloud for a doctor as I put pressure on the wound with my shirt and started wrapping the wound.
Three people arrived, all wearing white. One was a lady in a white dress with slick black hair. Another was a man who looked to be the main doctor, with a large brown beard and no hair on top.
The bearded man kneeled down and studied the man, before informing me, "I appreciate what you've done, but to save this man, he must get to the hospital." I nodded as the third man pulled open a stretcher.
We lifted him on and the two men carried h man as the nurse and I helped treat his wound as best we could without the proper materials. The nurse did bring an IV and a blood bag, so it would help keep the ma alive for now...
We ran for about two minutes until I noticed something about where we were. There were people lined up on the edge of the streets bowing and there was a group of four walking through the middle. We were called to stop and I didn't plan on doing so if the nurse in front of me hadn't stopped me.
"W-What're you-" I whispered, before I heard another voice, the same that stopped us. I looked over at the group from before and realized we were the only ones in the middle of the path of people, which was probably wrong for some reason.
Once I finally got a good look at the group of four, I immediately got on my guard and was nervous. There were more than four. About eight.
There were three identical knights in the back, a guy in a suit with shades, two women wearing dancer outfits with chains on their necks, leading to a guy who looked like the definition of smelly, as that guy was riding another human being.
"And why are you moving?! You're humans!" As he got off the other man, the gross man threw down his ice cream and the chains holding the girls.
He started walking over to us and I saw the nurse, her hand shaking while holding the blood bag.
The main doctor spoke, clear fear in his voice, "I-I'm sorry. Please overlook this! He's losing a lot of blood and needs urgent care! It's a race against time! The hospital's right ahead!"
The gross man with the white dress and clear helmet on leaned over the hurt man, who was breathing heavily, "Yes, this is truly horrible! In that case, you must hurry..."
The man lifted his foot and kicked the stretcher, "...and rest in peace!"
All four of us fell over, and I caught the lady next to me in my arm while trying to balance the stretcher with my other hand, so the patient doesn't move around too much.
'What is this guy's problem?! Why is no one doing anything?! Wait... is he...'
"Please, stop!" The main doctor cried as he and I checked on the patient.
The man who kicked the stretcher turned around, "Which is more important: courtesy towards me, or a commoner's life?"
Okay... I'm about to end this man's life.
I stood up, my fists held so tight they were shaking and as I was about to say something, the hurt man below me winced in pain, and I immediately went back down to treat him.
As I kneeled to the hurt man, I heard the man in the suit speak, "Commoners owe their existence to the Celestial Dragons."
'So they are World Nobles... So it's true... my mom might be...'
I grabbed at the grass in anger, trying to hide it for the sake of the three doctors and the hurt man. I think the nurse noticed I was mad and put a hand on my leg to try and calm me down, offering a soft smile, which I was thankful for.
I looked up, followed by the black-haired lady we looked up to see the man with the helmet looking between the two of us with a wide-mouthed expression. The Nurse looked confused and then self-conscious as she looked down and fiddled with her hands.
He studied the two of us for a few seconds until he looked up with his hands behind his back, "Okay! I'm making you two my wives!"
I and the nurse gasped.
'WIFE?! BRO, HOW OLD ARE YOU?!'
"Then I shall arrange for them to be sent to the Holy Land to be your 13th and 14th wives." The man in the suit slightly bowed.
"Oh, and I'm tired of wives #1 through #5, so send them back to the commoners." [World Noble]
"As you wish, sir." [Suited man]
"Wait! I-I'm–" [Nurse]
"Please, stop right there!" I heard a new voice speak, "She's my fiance, and–" Before I could react, I heard a gunshot. I saw the man who just claimed to be the nurse's fiance fall to the ground with almost lifeless eyes.
People screamed in fear as the World Noble spoke, lowering his gun, "Stand up in front of me, will you?!"
The Nurse and I stood as she tried to get to her fiance, but the nurse was stopped by the suited man. She screamed, "NO! No, you murderer, how could you?!" She looked mad as she cried, "Someone! Someone, please help him!"
I nodded to her and rushed over to the hurt man, kneeling down to look at him. He was mumbling the Nurses name.. Over and over again.
I heard the World Noble talk to the Nurse, but I couldn't hear what was being said.
I picked him up and turned around to see the World Noble pointing a gun at me. He pulled the trigger and somehow... it's almost like time stopped as I moved out of the way, watching the bullet glide by.
Every one started murmuring, as the World Noble and the Nurse gasped.
I quickly set the newly shot man down next to the crowd and looked at the Celestian Dragon as the Nurse yelled to be let go. I heard the crowd shuffle the man into hiding and heard a few others take them to the hospital, and I sighed before turning to the Woman, who now had a gun to her head.
"Take her to the Harbor." The World Noble said. She protested, and I was about to as well when I heard and saw someone else walking up. I didn't know If I should feel relaxed or more nervous.
It was Zoro, drinking straight from a bottle and walking like he hadn't a care in the world. He watched the people confused and were about to take another drink when he stopped, face to face with the World Noble. He looked past him and saw me.
"Huh? It's-" He almost said my name before I shushed him.
The celestial Dragon looked at him and raised his gun, almost immediately firing.
I know Zoro can take care of himself, so I decided to try another plan. I hit the guard holding the nurse and ran into the crowd as I heard them chase me.
I ran down one alley and came up another, now Seeing Zoro ready to attack the Celestial Dragon. He had an evil grin and a sense of bloodlust that even scared me, but before I could stop him, someone tackled him and... getting smaller? I blended in with the crowd as I watched the child with pink hair cry about her brother being shot.
It seemed the Celestial Dragon forgot about me and the woman to be his wife, and believed the act the girl was putting on, so he walked away.
I pointed the nurse to the hospital and told her where the injuries were as she went over to them, and I went over to the green-haired swordsman and the kid.
I noticed a light-looking red substance surrounding them as the World Noble has just left the sights and people were going back to their everyday lives.
I know he didn't get shot, so the kid must've used ketchup or something. I kneeled down next to them and spoke, "Hey, he's gone now."
The kid looked up at me, then got angry as she stood. Zoro sat up and wiped at the ketchup, now sitting up next to me. He looked at his hands and spoke to the kid. "Why'd you get in the way?!"
"Z-Zoro..."
"Huh? Don't gimmie that, idiot!" The...
...woman?!
'W-Wasn't she a kid...?'
The woman put her hands on her hips and looked between us, "What the hell were you two thinking?!"
I turned to Zoro, "Zoro, didn't you see the specific path? Why didn't you avoid it?" My sweat dropped as he licked his hand.
The pink-haired lady sighed and leaned down, "Are you trying to get an Admiral to these islands?!"
Zoro looked at her, but completely ignored her, looking at me, "Tomato Juice..."
She looked at me, her voice quieter, "If you two are pirates, then don't you know about the unwritten pirate code? Don't get us caught up in your trouble!" She barked as Zoro tried wiping off the Tomato Juice.
Zoro looked offended as he looked towards the Pink haired lady, "Trouble?" He snarled, then took a closer look at her, "Aren't you... Huh? Weren't you a kid?"
The pink-haired lady growled, "Are you even listenin' to me?! You alright in the head?!"
"Yeah, I didn't get hurt." [Zoro]
I tried to hold in my laugh as Zoro looked at me confused.
"Idiot! I'm talkin' about the inside! You're a dumbass! A genuine dumbass! You're lucky this lady is with you or you'd be completely lost!" [Pink-haired lady]
~~~Just across the street~~~
"We managed to avoid the worst-case scenario thanks to Jewelry Bonney. That man is Pirate Hunter Zoro, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. The woman who saved the Nurse is Red Wood (Y/N), also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates." [Worker]
"I knew their crew was crazy, but standing up to and nearly attacking a Celestial Dragon? That really is insane." [Capon Bege]
~~~Just nearby~~~
"It's only natural he was saved. I don't see the shadow of death upon Pirate Hunter or Red Wood at this time."[Hawkins]
~~~Another Spot~~~
"That bastard unleashed an absurd amount of Bloodlust in a split moment. And to think a woman Stood up to a World Noble just because of some random guy... They're really something else..." [Apoo]
~~~...ANOTHER spot...~~~
"Worth 120 million and 170 million, yet only 3rd and 2nd on their crew... That Pirate Hunter doesn't seem like the kind to play third fiddle to anyone, but I guess that goes to show the caliber of their captain." [Urouge]
~~~Back with (Y/N)~~~
After the yelling of the Pink haired lady dies down... I remembered something. I harshly inhaled and saw that the Doctors had abandoned the man who was bleeding out. As Zoro argued, I walked away and held the man's bridal style as Zoro ad the Pink lady watched me.
I walked back towards them, trying to be careful with the hurt man, "Where's the nearest hospital?" I asked the lady.
"The hospital?" She asked.
I nodded, "I have to take him there. He's really hurt."
"Huh?! Forget him! He's a total stranger!" She yelled at me.
I pulled Zoro in the direction I remember the Doctors heading before we got stopped and I heard the lady mumble something after me, "What the hell? A pirate who helps people? Aint ever heard of that before!"
(A/N - Guys! My story got a #1 Rating in Zoro! I don't really understand the rating system, but #1 is good I assume! TYSM!)
