《Reality Check (One Piece Fan-Fiction)》Chapter IV: Opening Up
Advertisement
(you know what? I kinds just remembered that Roger has already found the One Piece 20 years ago & I was just an idiot & forgot... my bad. Also, Whitebeard is referring him as Stoneheart D (Drake). Lyon)
Third Person POV
Whitebeard chuckled as he led Leo out of the infirmary room, the boy was shaking in his boots & practically clung onto Whitebeard's leg. The crew mates watched in amusement at the shy child, some laughed while some just stared
Whitebeard was now on the deck where all the Commanders were, Leo flinched at all the attention he was getting & hid behind Whitebeard once again. He shook his head & lightly pushed Leo to all of them, this time he gasped & blushed darkly
"There's no need to be shy, my son." Leo's head slowly nodded, Whitebeard had started calling him son for awhile & it made Leo, you guessed it, start crying
'I'm sorry...'
"There's no need to apologize either!" he nodded his head again "Now my sons, I'd like you to meet Stoneheart D. Lyon." he waved his hand nervously
'Hello...'
"Hey kid! Its nice seeing you out of that room finally." Leo smiled nervously at Thatch as he felt the older man ruffle his head
"He seems to like you, Thatch. What'd you do?" he shrugged & looked away
"Oh nothing, I was just being nice."
"You, nice? That's kinda hard to believe." Thatch just laughed & looked down at Leo again, he (Leo) looked up at Thatch & shyly smiled at him again
"See! He likes you!" Thatch rolled his eyes & picked Leo up
"You make it sound like he's a animal." he retorted back & walked off to the kitchen with the little boy, Leo has never smiled in front of anybody in his entire life, a true smile that is. Thatch makes him feel comfortable to be around, pops does the same but... this is different "So kiddo, you hungry."

'Yes please.'
"Same thing I gave you before?" he felt Leo nod "Okay." Leo had been looking up to Thatch like a big brother... the big brother he never had, a better big brother that Xavier never was. The thought of him made Leo scowl & growl, Thatch seemed to have noticed
"Why'd you growl?"
'Whatever do you mean?'
"You look & sounded angry, was it how people are treating you?"
'You are... somewhat close.'
"Alright Leo, we're gonna play a game of 20 questions, I'm probably gonna ask you like... under 10 questions."
'What if I disagree to play?'
"Then you don't get french toast." Leo put a hand to his chest as he gasped lightly in a shocked tone
'How cruel, alright then. I'll play your dumb game.'
"Now that's rude, um, what's your favorite color?" he asked as he set the food in front of him
'Green.'
"Okay, lucky number."
'Its either 3 or 13.'
"Hmm, your birthday."
'Why are you asking for personal details?' he asked as he gave Thatch a weird look, he just shrugged 'Whatever, August 27.'
"Good good, now if you don't mind me asking, & its alright if you don't wanna answer but... why do you where sunglasses, even when its not sunny?" Leo choked on his food a bit & started breathing heavily
The hurtful words are coming back...
What did I do to deserve this...?
"Leo..."
They're right...
I should just die...
"Leo...!"
I wish I never woke up!!
"Lyon!" he gasped as he felt tears run down his face, he blink a few times & realized he had been crying in front of a crowd. Everyone started arriving when they smelt Thatch's food but stopped when they heard/saw the conversation between him & the boy, Leo started blushing out of embarrassment as he tried to wipe his tears away

'I-I'm sorry...! I didn't mean t-to start crying!' Thatch looked down at him & saw he was still trying to wipe his tears away, his tears were also smudging his words
"No Lyon, I shouldn't have asked such a personal question, if anyone's sorry... it should be me." yet that didn't get him to stop crying
Leo sniffles a bit until he felt he was pulled into a hug... he's never been given a hug before. He's lip quivered when he felt the other crew mates hug him as well, he grit his teeth to try to stop the tears from falling but just gave up
"... t-thank you..." he whispered & only those with keen ears were able to hear it, which made them smile
(sorry if short. I kinda suck at writing this, I'm not use to it. Its mostly the ASL is involved with it & shit!)

To Play With Magic
My name is Alexis Everette. I'm the only daughter of Earth's greatest hero. My dad is a normal man, but he's still my greatest hero. While he may be normal, I can bend the elements to my whim and have power over space and time. Of course, that's who I am at the end of the story. There's a lot I have to go through to get there. And even with all the power I gain... The world ends on a Tuesday. ... This is currently a completed story arc, though it's not the end. New updates are starting March 28, 2022. Actively updating. Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
