"I hope none of them came across the giants... They were friendly the last time I saw them but... People change with time" Y/N mumbled to herself as she kept running towards a sound she heard a while back.

She could turn herself into lightning to reach faster but since her lightning is the natural type, she'll first have to call upon the clouds to travel through them, and calling upon the clouds could put the others on the island in great danger.

Her run didn't last for a long time. She stopped while leaning against a tree for support as she kept her hand on the right side of her abdomen. She looked down at her hand and was shocked to see the crimson blood all over it. "WAIT! WHAT!! Where did this blood come from?!" She shouted only to realize that the wound on the right side of her abdomen had opened up.

While Y/N took care of her wound, the rest of the straw hats were fighting for their lives. Nami, Zoro, and Vivi were caught and slowly turning into wax while Luffy and Usopp fought the enemies.

■■■■■■

Luffy was fighting with Mr.3's special creation while the three lives were at risk. Nami, Zoro, and, Vivi's body was unable to move. The wax layer was getting thicker and thicker as time passed.

"As expected! You guys sure got yourself in a lot of trouble!!"

"Y/N?" Usopp mumbled.

A huge strike of lightning fell upon the wax candelabra. While Y/N sliced it up with the lightning sword she made. The candelabra came falling down but that was only half of the solution. The destroyed candelabra will no longer thicken the wax on Zoro, Nami and Vivi but they were still covered in wax. Y/N made the lightning sword disappear and looked at Mr.3's suit.

"Luffy!!! Use him to melt the wax" She shouted.

"Yes!! Luffy!! Y/N is right. Melt the wax!" Usopp joined in.

Luffy followed Y/N and Usopp's words and set all the wax ablaze. "I'm burning up!!! Blast you, straw hat!!" Mr.3 shouted and quickly escaped the fire. "You dare to ruin my special candelabra!!?"

Luffy noticed Mr.3 running away "OH! no you don't!!" He shouted and followed him.

Zoro, Nami and Vivi were finally out of the wax. The crew was assembled and fought off the enemies with all might.

Y/N smirked to herself as she saw the others fight "I sure do have a winning bet."

"You guys are strong." Y/N said and everyone turned their attention towards her. "But you guys had the fun without me!! I wanted to fight too."

"What fun do you think we had?!" Nami shouted at her. "We were on the verge of dying!!"

"Plus you were the one who decided to go with Sanji." Zoro said.

"Y/N...? You are bleeding." Vivi pointed out. Everyone looked at the wound on Y/N's abdomen. The female laughed it out and rubbed the back of her neck "It's nothing! I have had wounds worse than this!! For real guys... Just chil-"

And with that even before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed on the ground.

■■■■■■

The commotion on the ship woke Y/N up. Her upper body was fully covered with bandages. She grabbed the nearby jacket and put it over her shoulder before walking out of the room to where everyone else was. "Where are we?" She asked as she shaded her eyes with hand from the sun.

"Oh! You woke up!" Nami stated.

Y/N walked further towards the centre to take a good look around the ocean. "Y/N you have some explaining to do!" Nami said, gaining Y/N's attention. Everyone stood beside Nami and demanded answers from the female. She boarded their ship randomly and then was found severally injured without even engaging herself in a fight.

Y/N could feel the pressure on herself but she couldn't open up to them... Not yet or else she'll become their enemy. "Y/N, Vivi told us that you had many wounds on your body and you collapsed because of blood lose! What were you doing before you came on our ship?" Luffy questioned and he didn't look friendly anymore. His change in behaviour wasn't because he was suspicious of her instead he was worried.

"I just fought some pirates and got wounded. It's nothing to worry about. Just a few more days and I'll be fine." She gave them an explanation but they weren't going to buy it.

"I might not be a doctor but I can identify the type of wounds you had. Not only me, anyone who looks at those wounds can guess what caused them." Vivi stated. "You had a total of 8 different wounds on your body. It isn't a joke!"

"Come on guys I told you that I fought some pirates and they were strong. Stronger than me so I got severally wounded."

"Why were you fighting the pirates?" Usopp asked.

"Because they tried to steal from me. I had a little bit of treasure with me. Those damned pirates!! If I find them I'll sink their ship for sure!!" Y/N gritted her teeth.

"Why didn't you sink it while fighting them?" Zoro inquired.

"I had other people around me. If I called upon a thunderstorm it would've harmed them too. I can't trouble everyone you know."

"Don't worry Y/N! We'll find those pirates and give them a lesson for what they did to you." Luffy said which made Y/N smile.

"Y/N~ would you like something to eat?" Sanji questioned.

"Sure, I would love to!!"

"ALRIGHT! GIVE ME SOME TIME SWEETHEART, I'LL MAKE SOMETHING SPECIAL JUST FOR YOU"

The air was back to normal. She got along with them quite well but there were still two members who were a little suspicious of her.... Zoro and Nami.

I am only going to focus on important arcs and the others will either be skipped and briefly explained.
