(Shawn POV)
I smirk as I read the newspaper but Valor flicked my head so I grunted in annoyance, he was wrapping my head with bandages & lecturing me but I wasn't listening. After that battle with Teach I was pretty damn wounded, after we handed his dead body over to the government, I kinda passed out
I touched my torso & felt the bandages too, after Teach sucker punched me in the gut & pushed that sharp thing into my shoulder, it left quite the scar. I can barely move my arm without hurting my shoulder, other than that I'm chill
"How's the left leg so far, Will?" I look down & see he was screwing a few bolts in, he looks up at me & pulls a thumbs
"Not so bad, few tweaks here & there, but other than that its good." I chuckle & go back to reading the paper, I laugh to myself as I read the headline
THE UNKNOWN HAS NOW CHANGED FROM A SHICHIBUKAI TO A YONKO AFTER KILLING "BLACKBEARD" AKA. MARSHALL D. TEACH. HIS BOUNTY ALSO INCREASED TO 850.000.000 BELI OVERNIGHT, THIS MAN IS A HUGE THREAT TO THE WHOLE WORLD GOVERNMENT
"I am to good."
"Hey look its us!!" Valor looked over to see that he was also in the picture, he smirked at himself. It was him & he was kicking the Blackbeard Pirates' ass, in the background you could see the trio, Storm & Mangle
"Yo Mangle! You already made the front page!" I yell to her, one of her heads pop over the railing & she lightly smiles at it
"Oh… I've only been alive for a few days & I'm already a hit." another head appears
"This is quite enchanting if I'm being honest with myself…"
"Your so shy aunt Mangle!" Spark said to her, & its true. She undoubtedly reminds me of Storm when he's being a huge scaredy cat, I notice he look the other way, thinking it was a bad thing
"Oh… have I done something wrong?"
"I–I will just leave…!"
"Goodbye, it was lovely being here!" Will ran over & yelled
"Wait wait no! Its not a bad thing your shy, Mangle–san!" he yelled, I laughed lightly. Him & Mangle have gotten along pretty well since I brought her to life, since they're both shy & all "They were o–only teasing, like Valor…!" I laugh & look at Valor, he had a offended look on his face
"That's mean, Willy!"
"If you don't want me being mean, stop calling me Willy!! I am 32 years old!"
"Your 32?!" I yelled, he looked at least 25 or younger "How old are you than?"
"I'm only 26." my mind was blown
"Your guys age is unbelievable…" I murmur
(Time Skip)
"Hey Shaw!" I look over & see it was Saphyre that called my name "I heard from someone that you could sing!" I scratch my cheek & laugh nervously
"Yeah I can but I haven't sung in 2 years. I think I might sound like a dying crow." she waved me off
"There's no way, I think you'll still sound amazing."
"What's this I hear about singing?" Valor had popped out of nowhere & he had his arms crossed
"C–Can you sing, Shaw?" this time it was Will
"Yeah, but I'm not going to!"
"Papa! Sing us a song!" I groan, when the hell did these guys come? Soon enough everyone was asking, I had enough of it so I yelled out
"Fine, I'll sing!!"
"Yay!"
"What kind of song?" they all shrug
"Anything!" I roll my eyes & sigh in irritation
"Very helpful…" I was suddenly thrown a guitar, it made me smirk a bit
(Idk, I'm in a song mood…)
(
It Has Begun - Starset)
Even a well-lit place can hide salvation
A map to a one-man maze that never sees the sun
Where the lost are the heroes
And the thieves are left to drown
But everyone knows by now
Fairy tales are not found
They're written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun
Into the dark below
Evading shadows
Blind in a rabbit's hole
We fall beneath the earth
And watch the shell come unraveled
As the seed begins to rise
Embracing its starlit fate as we wait in the night
It's written in the walls
As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from
It has begun [5x]
I was panting a little as I drop the guitar & (dab) cross my arms again, everyone clapped & cheered. I smile a little & sat down, in my defence I still think I sound like a dying crow
"You sounded amazing, Shaw!"
"Nah, I was just lucky my voice wasn't scratchy…" I say, she rolled her eyes & smiled at me
"Say whatever you wanna say, you sounded wonderful!" soon enough the trio landed on my shoulders or head
"Yeah yeah papa, you should sing more often!"
"Mm, it'll be fun!"
"Maybe we could join in!"
"That'll be pleasant!"
"I'll laugh if you do so!"
"That's not nice!!" they say together
"It wasn't suppose to be…"
(Third Person POV)
Everyone started partying & suddenly the transponder snail started ringing, you could barely hear it but luckily Spark was next to it so he answered it with no hesitation
"Yes~ this is Spark speaking, how can I help you?!"
"Spark, this is your aunt Volpina, put your papa on the line!"
"Okay ma'am!" he jumped away & immediately found Shaw dancing with Saphyre, he was smiling giddily & in his vision, he thought it was Koala "Papa! Papa I need you!"
"Eh? What is it Spark?!"
"Aunt Volpina is on the line."
"Really?! Okay!" he followed Spark into the room, followed by Storm & Valor, & he picked up the snail "Papa Terrance here, how can I be of assistance?"
"Boss–sama, its me!"
"Hello me, I'm Terrance."
"Are you drunk?" he went silent "I'll take that as a yes, Boss–sama someone important needs a word with you."
"& who is this important person?" the transponder snail rolled its eyes before suddenly changing its expression into a serious one
"I am Monkey D. Dragon, I am the one that needs a word with you." Shaw looked down at the snail before throwing it at Valor
"No way am I talking to him, you do it Valor!"
"Me?! Let Storm!" he yelled as he threw it towards the reptile
"Nah–uh!! Do you hear his voice?! Its too scary!" all three started throwing it at each other before Shaw threw it at Valor with brute force he stumbled back, that gave Shaw enough time to fly through the wall
"Goodbye & no thank you!!"
"You bastard!! Storm--" he had flew out if the room as well "You cowards!" on the other side of the line, Volpina face palmed while everyone else sweat dropped
"Um, all I wanted was to say thank you. If it wasn't for you people, we would've been exposed or even worse… killed." Valor gulped
"N–No problem… it was n–nothing!" Volpina rolled her eyes
"Liar…"
"I heard that!!" with Shaw, he had found himself in front of the door to his room. He was a little tired so he walked into his room & shut the door behind him, his hand went along his desk & he felt an envelope
It was addressed to him & it was from Volpina, he picked it up, opened it & was met with a letter & a picture of 5 people, & two of them were counting Volpina &… Koala
"Dear Shawn,
I've been enjoying myself with the Revolutionary Army & I gave Koala–sama a hug like you want me too, she was a little confused but I didn't tell her it was from you. I'd like to thank you… for saving us from Blackbeard &, I'm only asking this because I'm curious
Were intensionally planning to become a Yonko?
That's all for now, plus, this is the first time I've written a letter… its hard.
Yours Sincerely,
Volpina~"
Shaw chuckled at the letter before setting it down, he looked at the photo & smiled at it. She looked happy with them, & Koala looked like she was enjoying herself… but the blonde standing next to the girl with brown hair had caught his eye
"Do I… know him?" he goes to take a closer look but suddenly his door slammed open
"Master!!" it was Storm
"Can you please knock next time? I was just about to take a nap."
"I–I'm sorry but… you have to check this out!" he raises an eyebrow
(This is just a… random chapter, I don't know why)
