(__) POV
After leaving Gran Tesoro we went to a nearby island to cash in our gold. The crew decided to have a party celebrating escaping Gran Tesoro and then they had another party as a farewell. Big brother being the baby he was wouldn't let me go all night. Now it's just me alone again. I wonder how Pops and everyone else is right now. I hope Ace is safe. Left to my thoughts I ended up drifting off to sleep.
When I woke up I found out I was actually near an island. Perfect because I was just running out of supplies too. Maybe I can do some shopping while I'm there too, although I'm not sure where I would put it. Soon enough I landed on a secluded part of the island. I had to walk a bit to get to the city part of it. When I was getting close I could hear screams and gunshots though. Is there a fight or a celebration going on? The city finally came into view and I was shocked at what I was seeing. The whole city was in war. People were lying dead on the floor while others fought over their comrades dead body.
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Hey look over there!"
"She must be part of the revolutionary army's reinforces!!!" Wait revolutionary arm? Reinforces? How is that in all the islands on the Grand Line I end up landing on the one in war!?!?
"Get her!!" Oh crap! Time to run. I run away from the men chasing my and end up in the city, right in the middle of all these. Sadly for me those guys called some friends over.
"Leave me alone why don't you!!! I'm not a revolutionary!!!" I yell while running True I could always just kill them no problem but I have no part in this war. If I kill them more people will come after me and I really don't need that right now.
"It's rude to gang up on an innocent girl like that." Okay who said that. I tuned my head around and saw someone standing on the roof. The group of men that was chasing me stoped and pointed there weapons at the man.
"It's him!! The second in command, Sabo!!!!" Wait Sabo he has the same name as Luffy and Ace's friend that died years ago. The man names Sabo quickly defeated his opponents with just his pipe. After he beat the crap out of the then he turned to face me. He had blonde hair and a black top hot. The most noticeable feature about him was the scar over his left eye. I wonder what could have happened for that to get there? When Sabo saw me he seemed frozen for some reason. He just stared at me and I stared right back. The wind picked up blowing my (h/l), (h/c) hair to the side.
"Umm thanks for saving me." I said breaking the silence.
"Oh, uh, no problem." He said with a slight blush. "What are you doing here? We got rid of all civilians a while ago." He said walking closer to me.
"Yeah, I didn't mean to come here."
"What do you mean by that? Well anyways you should come back to the base, it's not safe here." He took my hand and guided me away from the battlefield. His hands were warm they felt nice. Normally I wouldn't just let someone hold my hand like this but for some reason this guy made me feel safe. I only just met him but I could tell he was a nice person. It's weird I've always been taught that the revolutionary arm was evil, and yet this man he's seems so kind. How could someone like him be called evil? All those things of been taught about the revolutionary army was probably more propaganda. I'm curious, what does the revolutionary army reallu fight for.
"By the way I never introduced myself, I'm Sabo." He said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you I'm(__)." Soon enough I was guided to the camp. There were tons of men just watching me with hearts in there eyes. I could hear some men whispering but I couldn't make out what they were saying.
"Sabo there you are!" Someone shouted. In front of us was a woman with big brown eyes with orange-brown hair. "I've been calling you in your den-den mushi forever!!!!" Man she looks mad. She walked up to him and pulled his cheeks.
"I'm sowwy Kowla!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it!"
"Umm, should I leave to give you guys some space to talk or what?" I asked butting in. She turned around and faced surprised. I guess she didn't notice me before.
"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Koala."
"I'm (__)." After that I was led to one of the tents and given food and water. I sat down on the chair with Sabo next to me.
"Aren't you that girl with the really high bounty?" Koala asked.
"Yeah, sadly."
"Wait how do you know that?" Sabo asked Koala.
"Remember that day everyone was staring at the newspaper and talking about a pretty girl, that was when her bounty came out."
"So you're a pirate?"
"Yeah." While we were talking someone came in calling Sabo to meet with their leader. Sabo dragged me along with him, saying he wanted me to met their leader. He wore a large green coat and a red tattoo the left side of his face. He had long black hair and piercing eyes. Finally someone I've met that I know. I finally don't feel like an idiot like I did when finding out that Shanks was a Yokai and Flamingo, Crocy, and Mihawk was a Shichbukai
"Who is this?"
"This is (__), I found her in the middle on the city."
"You're the girl who has the record of highest first bounty."
"Yeah that's me and it's not something I'm proud of. Anyways that's not important, I'm curious what are you guys fighting for?"
"Don't you know from what the government says. We're criminals." Dragon said. I feel like he's testing me or something.
"Of course I know what the government said. My whole life I've been free whatever the government wanted me to believe. They said you were criminals threatening the security of the world. They called you evil and I believed it, but then I met Sabo." I looked over at him and he seemed a little surprised.
"I know I only just met him but I can't believe someone who seems so kind could be called evil. I want to know the truth." Sabo seemed to be blushing for who knows what reason.
"I see. Our objective is to fight against the World Government, who supports political leaders that oppress there people." My father is one of those people who supports tyrannical leaders. I want to help them, now.
"So that's how it is. I like your cause, I think I'm going to help you fight in this battle." I said with a smirk surprising Sabo.
"No we can't ask you for that. It's dangerous."
"I'm not weak Sabo. See the swords on my back prove I'm a swords-woman. You can try and stop me but I'm fighting either way. It's personal for me."
"Personal? How is it personal?"
"That's a long story. So when's the fighting start?" I asked Dragon.
"In two hours."
"Perfect, that's enough time for me and Sabo to brawl. What about you want to join us?"
"No."
"What why not?"
"I have work."
"You're way to serious you know that. You should have fun more often." For only a split second his eyes widen but they quickly went back to normal as if it never happened. Sabo and I left the camp and headed to a small dining hall.
"So (__), I was wondering how is this personal for you? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No it's fine, I don't mind telling you." I told him about who I really was, the life I had, how I had to leave my only two friends. I told him it all. But I didn't only tell him about the bad. I told him about all the good stuff too. Like being able to meet big brother and Pops and so many others. It's weird how comfortable I am with him. I only just met him and I'm already telling him everything.
"Sabo aren't you going to introduce us to the cutie."
"Yeah, you can't keep her to yourself!" Their was a group of men surrounding us all with hearts in there eyes.
"Hey stop looking at her like that!" Sabo yelled and I just giggled.
"Hi I'm (__), it's nice to meet all of you." I said doing a closed a smile.
"Ahh!!! She's so cute!!"
"Sexy too!!"
"Marry me!!" What are they talking about? All of a sudden I feel something wrap under my knees and pull me off the ground.
"S-Sabo!?" I said blushing. He lifted me up, carrying me up bridal style.
"Let's go." And with that he jumped away leaving behind an angry group of people. He landed in a secluded area not to far away from the camp.
"So why did you bring me here?" I asked as he set me down.
"I..Umm.. didn't like the way they were staring at you that's all." He said blushing slightly.
"Hey I have an idea! You look pretty strong so let's fight!" He was the first to make a move with his pipe I countered it using only one sword, Chokutō. We kept going back and fourth. He would defend with his pipe while I used my sword to attack. Eventually I got the upper hand and Sabo was sent flying a bit.
"Wow, you're strong."
"Well I was trained by the best." I said extended a hand to help him up.
"You should join the revolutionary army. It'd be nice to have you around more often."
"I would love to but I already have a crew."
"Can't hurts to ask. They're lucky to have you."
"Thanks."
"Sabo, (__)!!!! We're about to leave!" Koala called.
"Okay we're coming!!"
"Don't worry (__) we'll protect you!"
"Yeah you don't have to worry about your pretty little head." We were now in the middle of the battlefield . I was in the same group as Sabo but I wasn't able to fight with him because I was surrounded by men from the revolutionary army. It's like they don't see the swords on my back. I can fight perfectly fine, I don't need there protection. Using my observation Haki I sense a sniper about to shot the man to my right. In a split second I leapt into the air and cut the bullet in half so it didn't hit anyone.
"I don't need your protection." Then they all started fawning over me saying I was sexy and a badass.
"Nice job (__)." Sabo said coming closer to me.
"Thanks." Men from the other army surrounds us all with evil smirks.
"Why don't you come with us cutie, we won't hurt you." One of the guys said.
"Looks like there's about 40 of them. More or less." Me and Sabo were standing back to back with our weapons in hand.
"Is that really it, they should really bring more people." He said smirking.
"I know right it's not even a close match." I replied with my own smirk. One of the guys was about to say something but was cut off when Sabo and I jumped into action. I was slicing up men left and right whole Sabo attacked with his pipe and sometimes his dragon claw. Fighting back to back with Sabo reminds me of the times I fought with Ace against the marines. I miss that a lot. The way he controlled fire and his annoying smirk which I actually find kind of cute was special. The guys called in more reinforcements, but it was all in vain; in only a couple of minutes they were completely wiped out. After the battle went pretty good for the revolutionary army. Sabo and me continued to fight side by side. No one could stop us. We were just that good. While the other army was screaming war crys and such Sabo and I just had a smile on our faces the whole time. I know that doesn't seem right but I couldn't help it. It was fun fighting with Sabo. Soon enough the army surrendered and the revolutionary army won the battle.
3rd POV
"It's all thanks to you that we won (__)!"
"We were so lucky to run into you!!" The war was now over and everyone was celebrating their victory. (__) was surrounded by a group of men all with hearts in their eyes as usual.
"That's not true, but thanks anyways."
"No they're right (__), you were a big help." Sabo said appearing from the crowd.
"Yeah Sabo's right. Thanks to you we were able to end this war faster then we thought." Koala added.
"Aww, thanks guys." (__) said blushing a little from all the compliments.
"Hey (__) come drink with us!"
"Yeah this is a celebration!!" (__) thought about it for a bit and decided to let loose.
"Alright!! Bring me some sake!!" (__) shouted and the men all cheered. They brought her a cup of sake but she said that wasn't enough.
"This is my first war celebration, I plan on getting drunk like I never have before!!!" (__) cheered and Sabo and Koala sweat dropped. (__) kept drinking cup after cup while Sabo and Koala just watched.
"I feel like we should stop her, that's her 12th cup." Koala pointed out.
"Yeah you're right." Sabo answered. "(__) that's enough don't you think." Sabo said trying to take her drink away.
"You're so strict Sabo. Take a sip." (__) said while leaning in closer, pushing the side of her body against his. Sabo immediately started blushing at the closeness.
"I-I-I-I c-can't!"
"Why not?" (__) asked a little sad now.
"Because I have to watch over you." Then (__) and Sabo heard the men start playing a song.
"Oh I love this song!!! Come dance with me Sabo!" (__) said getting up and pulling him by his hand. (__) wobbled a bit but luckily Sabo was there to catch her.
"You're too drink to dance."
"Then I guess you'll have to hold me close then." (__) said while wrapping her arms around Sabo's neck. Sabo blushed even more as (__) swayed to the music. Then the chorus came and (__) was singing along.
"Saa hajime you Atarashii sekai ga yonde iru Hora mite goran Ikutsu no umi hedateteita toshite mo Itsudatte sasaeteiru Osorezu ni mae he Wasurenai de We fight together." Everyone was stunner at (__) singing voice but she didn't care. She was way too lost in the songs to notice all the stares.
What no one else noticed was that someone was watching all the commotion a safe distance away. He couldn't help but wonder what all the commotion his men were making. Yes they normally threw parties after winning a battle but they were never this loud. That's when he head a beautiful voice singing. He looked at the source and saw (__) dancing and singing with a blushing Sabo while the men all stared at her. "She's created a lot of commotion. I never thought one girl could do all this.
When the song ended (__) went right back to drinking while also dancing and singing. Poor Sabo was keeping her up all night by holding her close to him so she didn't fall. Honestly though he didn't mind it in the slightest. He liked being so close to the (h/c) haired beauty. He was completely entranced by her. Her intoxicating smile that made him want to smile even more and her big (e/c) that held so much much innocence and wonder made her even more appealing. Her liked everything about her.
It was late night now a lot of the men have fallen asleep while the rest still partied. (__) was completely plastered now.
"Sabo!! Carry me!" (__) said while jumping on his back. "Sabo, let's go to sleep I'm tired!"
"Okay." Sabo slowly walked over to his tent. Once there he placed her onto the blankets and he went to the ground.
"It's hot!" (__) complained Sabo's surprise (__) began to lift her tank top off her, exposing her stomach and the bottom of her bra. Sabo quickly went over to stop her before she showed anymore.
"You can't change here!"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm still here."
"But I don't care. You won't do anything to hurt me."
"S-still."
"Sabo, I'm hot though!!"
"Then take the blanket off."
"But now I'm cold! Sabo sleep with me. I need your warmth. You're not to cold or to hot, you're perfect" Sabo instantly started blushing even more.
"I can't, you'll get mad tomorrow."
"Please!" (__) begged using puppy dog eyes. Sabo couldn't deny her so it went to the space next to her. He layer a couple of inches away from her so they weren't too close. (__) didn't like that so she pulled him into a hug so his head was above her shoulders. Blushing Sabo reluctantly went to sleep.
