(Y/n)'s eyes blinked open, her vision hazy from just waking up. As her vision cleared, she was met with large rib bones and a lake of blood. She jolted forward, now on high alert, only for a large hand to push her back into a firm chest. "Finally awake? You're so reckless" a deep voice whispered into her ear.

She snapped her head towards the voice, coming face to face with four red eyes. "Sukuna... Figures you'd follow me" (Y/n) muttered bitterly. "Not happy to see me? Is that the thanks I get for saving you?" Sukuna asked with a scowl. "I could've saved myself" (Y/n) said with a huff, earning a mocking chuckle from the curse.

"Right, like how you saved yourself from that sword" Sukuna pointed out, earning an offended gasp from the female. "It was the heat of the moment! That's not the point, why am I here?" (Y/n) asked, quickly changing the subject. "Why? Isn't it obvious? Remember, I own you, I don't take kindly to sharing" Sukuna said as his hold got tighter on her.

"I'm not an object, I can do what I want, when I want, without your permission" (Y/n) said harshly. Sukuna growled as he harshly tugged her shirt down, showing off a black curse marking on her shoulder blade. "Whether you're an object or not, you can't run from me, now it's time for you to wake up," Sukuna said as he placed his hand over her eyes.

When (Y/n) woke up, she was laying next to Luffy's cage, in front of a pet store. "Doggie!" Luffy cooed, while Zoro looked confused. The dog wandered up to (Y/n) and sniffed her face, "good doggie... Nice doggie..." (Y/n) muttered tiredly. "(Y/n), you're awake! Are you alright? You've seemed to have stopped bleeding along the way" Luffy said worriedly.

She gave him a thumbs-up, indicating that she is perfectly fine. "Don't move so much, you'd make the wound worse. You're so reckless, jumping in like that" Zoro lectured while sitting down next to her laying form. "Sorry, I'm still learning to keep my emotions in check" (Y/n) reasoned while glancing at Zoro.

Luffy proceeds to poke the dog, that sat in front of (Y/n), only for his... Face getting bitten?! How'd that happen, she would never know. "AHHHHHH!!!! GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF!!" Luffy claimed while trying to shake the dog off of him. "LUFFY! QUIT GOOFING AROUND AND GET SERIOUS!" Zoro exclaimed while making sure Luffy doesn't bounce his cage onto (Y/n).

"Damn dog..." Luffy muttered, now laying on the floor, and the dog sat on (Y/n)'s stomach. "Heh... Good doggie" (Y/n) chuckled while petting the dog's head. "Huh... Looks like the dog likes you" Zoro pointed out with a hint of jealousy. But his jealousy quickly turned into embarrassment, as he felt her hand petting his head too.

They then heard footsteps getting closer to them, gaining their attention. "Oh, hey Navigator" Luffy greeted the female. "I guess you can have this, you got me out of a pretty sticky situation," Nami said as she tossed down a key. "Great! The key to the cage! Did you go steal it for me? Thanks, Nami" Luffy said happily.

"I only did it so we'd be even, and now I don't owe you anything, so we're square, okay?" Nami said with a hand on her hip. "Yeah, sure!" Luffy said as he goes to grab the key, only for the dog to grab it before he could. The dog then swallowed the key, seemingly smiling cheekily.

"No... Bad dog, that's not good for you" (Y/n) gently reprimanded, only for the dog to ignore her, as he continued to sit on her stomach. "Eh?" Nami questioned in surprise, "Erk?!" Zoro exclaimed dramatically, "Grrr" Luffy growled in anger. Luffy then strangled the dog, shaking him back and forth.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, dog! Give it back! It's not food! Give me my key! Give it, give it, give it!!" Luffy exclaimed while fighting the dog. "HEY! STOP THAT! STOP PICKING ON POOR CHOUCHOU! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" An old man yelled out towards Luffy, looking quite angry.

Luffy held onto the dog, as the dog barked at Luffy, looking a bit wounded. "Hm, hello there, who are you?" (Y/n) asked as she slowly sat up. "What did I just say about moving around?! Lay back down" Zoro exclaimed quickly pushing her to the ground. "Agh... Ow..." (Y/n) muttered with a chuckle, as her back hit the ground a bit harshly.

"I'm the Mayor of this town! Who are you?! Why are you hurting Chouchou?!" The mayor asked angirly. He then noticed the injury on (Y/n)'s stomach, now worrying the mayor. "My, my, that's quite an injury you have there, I'm guessing you had a run-in with Captain Buggy? We need to get you to a doctor!" The mayor exclaimed.

"I'm fine, perfect even, just a little tired" (Y/n) said with a casual wave of her hand. But, her body was scooped up and carried bridal style by Zoro. "You're getting fixed up, whether you like it, or not," Zoro said stubbornly as he carried her off. The mayor guided them towards a house close by, to get her fixed up.

(Y/n) laid on the bed, her shirt slightly lifted, so that the mayor can tend to her wound. When he pushed down her pants, he gasped in surprise. "How can this be? There's no wound, not even a scratch! But, your clothes, you definitely received one..." The mayor said, staring at her skin in confusion.

"See, completely fine, just a little worn out" (Y/n) said with a reassuring smile. "I can't argue with that... I'll go tell your friends," the mayor said as he walked out of the room. Her smile soon turned into a grimace, staring at her healed skin with loathing, Sukuna's words echoing in her mind.

The rattling of the house disrupted her thoughts, she looked out the window to see what is happening. She saw the mayor looking frantic, while Nami looked confused, and Luffy seemed uninterested in the threat. The mayor and Nami soon ran off, leaving Luffy and Chouchou behind.

She watched as a lion blocked her view of Luffy's figure, and a strange man sat on top. She didn't feel like intervening, believing that Luffy can handle it. The lion then punched Luffy's cage, accidentally freeing Luffy in the process, completely unharmed. But, he was soon tossed into a building, with just the swipe of a claw from the lion.

"Good boy Richie, now let's go find Zoro, so I can defeat him, and strengthen my name!" The male said eagerly. "What's wrong?" The male asked as Richie stared at something, only to spot a female standing in front of the lion. "That was a good toss" (Y/n) complemented with a thumbs up.

"Score! Good job Richie! You found us a hot babe!" The male exclaimed, hearts within his eyes. "I'm right here..." (Y/n) muttered out, sweatdropping at the male's boldness. "My name is Mohji! Many call me the Beast Tamer, the best among the Buggy Pirates! If you come with me, I'll give you whatever you desire" Mohji claimed, getting a rose out of nowhere.

"You're weird... You look like you are at least 30-40 years old... Are you a pedophile?" (Y/n) asked bluntly, while an imaginary arrow shot through Mohji's chest. "That was rude! I am 16 at heart!" Mohji exclaimed, despite the fact that he is actually around 30 years old, hitting on an 18-year-old.

"So you are 30 years old" (Y/n) said harshly, another imaginary arrow hit Mohji. "Shut up! Richie, rip her to shreds!" Mohji ordered, earning a sad whimper from the lion. "Richie, now!" Mohji ordered more harshly, this time the lion did as ordered, jumping at (Y/n)'s figure.

"Try again buddy, though, taking me when I'm alone isn't the smartest option" (Y/n) warned as she stood on top of Richie's paw. The lion swung at her, accidentally hitting the dog behind her, and the Pet Store sign. (Y/n)'s smile dropped, as she stood there unharmed, glancing towards the dog's way.

"If you destroy this shop, I have no choice but to go all out" (Y/n) threatened, a dark shadow covering her eyes. "Are you threatening me? What are you going to do? All you've done is dodge!" Mohji exclaimed with a cocky grin. The lion took a step forward, only for the dog to bite his leg.

The dog got kicked away, sending him into a roof, when he jumped down, he kept growling at the lion. "Chouchou, right? Stay behind me, I don't want you to get caught in it" (Y/n) warned with her finger up. The dog looked at her and took a step back, curious about what she will do.

"You and that dog are stubborn as hell! Just give up!" Mohji exclaimed with a dark chuckle. (Y/n) held her finger father from her face, and a red ball slowly formed on her finger, confusing the enemy. "This is my first time, so, sorry if you get destroyed in the process. This is my true strength, Curse Technique Reversal: Red" (Y/n) said as a bright red light blinded the enemy.

Despite its small size, the impact was massive, as buildings and pieces of the floor flew away like they were picked up by a tornado. "AHHHH!!!!" Mohji screamed as he is sent flying, along with his lion, a cloud of smoke blocking his vision, due to the wind force of the attack.

"Huh, not bad for my first time, what do you think?" (Y/n) asked with a proud smile, despite the large devastation. "Bark!" Chouchou responded, his tail wagging happily, as his shop was saved by the girl. When Luffy arrived, he stared in shock at the destroyed surroundings, the only thing not destroyed was the pet shop.

"Hey Laffy! Good to see you" (Y/n) said with a wave, sparkles surrounding her figure. "Woah! Did you do this?! That's so cool!" Luffy complimented as he bounced up to her. "Yeah, sorry for the mess! I didn't think it is that destructive! Haha!" (Y/n) nervously chuckled with a hand behind her neck. "Well, I'm glad you saved the shop, you did a good job," Luffy said while patting her head.

"WOAH! Did a Buggy Ball go through here?! Everything is in shambles!!" Nami exclaimed, arriving late at the scene. "Buggy Ball? No... Sorry, that was me" (Y/n) said with a wave of her hand. "You... You heartless monster! Destroying a town, for what? Maybe I should kill you for doing such a thing!" Nami exclaimed as she ran at (Y/n).

"Come now, there's no need for violence," the mayor said while stopping the girl from getting to (Y/n). "Kill me? That's harsh... Especially since I did it to save this shop" (Y/n) said while glancing at the shop, and giving the dog a kind smile. "The shop? You did it... For the shop?" Nami muttered as she calmed down a bit.

"Now, doggie, continue to protect what you love... I wish you luck" (Y/n) said as she crouched down to the dog. The dog barked at her, seemingly wishing her luck on her journey, and made its way back to the front of the store. "Sorry about the damage... I overdid it a bit" (Y/n) apologized with a bow towards the mayor.

"Hey... I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to yell at you" Nami apologized as she approached the female. "Hey! That's okay! You've been under a lot of stress lately!" Luffy answered for (Y/n). In all honestly, (Y/n) had forgotten that Luffy was even here, he's just been silent this whole time.

"Yeah, it's all good, I'm just sorry that I caused more destruction than needed" (Y/n) added with a guilty look. "I'm pathetic! I did nothing as this young one fought off someone for Chouchou, and yet I've done nothing! I just sit back and watch our town be obliterated by Buggy and his despicable crew!" The mayor exclaimed angirly.

"Calm down! It's not that bad!" Nami tried to calm him down but ended up getting a backstory. "40 years ago..." The mayor started to say, but (Y/n) slowly drowned him out. "FROM HERE ON OUT, I REFUSE TO LET BUGGY AND HIS CREW TERRORIZE US ANYMORE!!" The mayor exclaimed, regaining (Y/n)'s attention.

Suddenly a bright flash of light surprised the mayor, as they didn't expect a Buggy Ball to hit the town. "He'll destroy it all..." The mayor muttered. "Wait... Wasn't Zuzu in that direction..." (Y/n) muttered, earning a loud gasp from Luffy. "AHH!! ZORO WAS SLEEPING IN THERE!!" Luffy exclaimed worriedly.

"I'm sure he's dead now," the mayor said sadly, as they stared at the destroyed house. "Hey, Zuzu, you in there bud?" (Y/n) asked the pile of rubble. "Zoro! Are you still alive?!" Luffy asked while frantically looking for Zoro's body. "That's one hell of a way to wake a guy up..." Zoro muttered through the smoke.

"Quit complaining, we got a job to do big guy!" (Y/n) said as she harshly slapped Zoro's back. "Ack!" Zoro exclaimed as he was pushed forward from the hit. "How did you survive that blast?" Nami asked nervously, sweat dripping from her forehead. "Alright! You're alive!!" Luffy exclaimed happily, unbothered that Zoro seemed unharmed.

In the background, the mayor was muttering to himself, looking quite upset about something. "I WILL PROTECT IT, AND ITS INHABITANTS! I SWEAR, TO MY DYING BREATH!" The mayor promised, getting a spear out of nowhere. "Stop! You can't do defeat Buggy!" Nami exclaimed as she held the mayor back.

"Perhaps, but there are some fights that I can't run from! Isn't that right?!" The mayor asked no one in particular. "That's right, old man!" Luffy encouraged, not helping the situation. "Shut up! Don't egg him on! It's dangerous for him to fight Buggy!" Nami exclaimed, still trying to hold the mayor.

"I KNOW IT'S DANGEROUS!" The mayor shouted stubbornly, shocking Nami into letting him go. "Don't worry, I'll follow him" (Y/n) reassured as she followed after the mayor. "I'M COMING FOR YOU, BUGGY THE CLOWN!!" The mayor yelled out, unaware he was being followed.

"Come out, Buggy the Clown!" The mayor yelled, heavily breathing from his run over there. "I'm Mayor Boodle, and this town is my treasure! I won't let you terrorize my people any longer!! So come out and fight me!!" The mayor exclaimed. "You idiot, this town is no treasure. Treasure is gold, silver, and jewels! So cut the crap old man, and get out of here, before I kill you" Buggy threatened harshly.

"YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL--- Huh?!" The mayor was cut off by a hand hovering in front of him. "Eh?! What the hell?" Buggy asked in confusion, trying to push his hand further towards the mayor. "Sorry to cut your fun, but I won't allow you to hurt the mayor, hope you don't mind" (Y/n) said as she got out from her hiding spot.

"It's you! That hot chick who won't die! I was told you beaten one of my men, maybe I should kill you first before you cause more problems!" Buggy exclaimed, as his other hand flew towards her. Once again, his hand stopped, just inches from her face, unable to move it closer.

"Please stay out of this! This is my fight, not yours!" The mayor exclaimed, slightly worried for the girl's safety, but also looking out for his pride as a mayor. "Kill me? Pathetic! You know, you're weak" (Y/n) mocked with a smirk, knowing she hit a nerve. "WEAK?! WHO ARE YOU CALLING WEAK?! DIE- ACK" Buggy exclaimed with a gasp, as Luffy appeared at the scene.

"That straw hat! Not again!" Buggy said angirly, as Luffy tightly held Buggy's hands away from (Y/n) and the mayor. "Hope you two didn't wait long, now, I'm here to kick your ass! Just like I promised I would, Buggy!" Luffy said happily. "He's all yours Laffy" (Y/n) said with a thumbs up.
