Chapter 5 - Reunion

I stood still in my spot when Rayleigh san called me. I cannot move because damn, i can still feel the stares at me. I got to lose in my world while thinking. Until a chuckle bring me back to reality. It was rayleigh- san.

"Go closer to them y-n chan. Why are so shy?" Rayleigh tease. I slightly blush on that and walk towards them. I'm now beside Usopp who is staring at me in amaze. I sweatdropped because they are still staring at me like i was foreign object that they discover. Rayleigh san was about to talk to me when he was interrupted by hachi.

"Rayleigh?!?!" Hachi got shock, still laying on the stair steps with Chopper and Pappag assisting him.

"Eh?! Rayleigh the Coating Craftsman?!" Chopper clarified at Hachi.

Rayleigh turn towards to Hachi from me. The attention now are in rayleigh. Well not at all, i can still feel a stares at me. I turn and see Zoro, Sanji, Luffy, Law and Eustass Kidd who is staring at you in a indifferent expression. I just smile shyly at slightly bow at them. I turn away from them and stare on what is happening. I cannot feel their stares anymore. But in my peripheral eyes they are stealing glances at me especially Eustass Kidd and Law.

"Is that you, Hachi?!? It's good to see you! What are you doing here? Why are you injured? Pardon me, you don't need to answer me, i'm glad to see you again." He said touching his beard and observe the area. "Seems you got in trouble, Hachi. These guys save you. Well.." Rayleigh narrowed his eyes and the people who have weak will, fainted. It's really cool to see it in person. I thought smiling.

After Rayleigh do that he turn towards Luffy and smile. "That strawhat really suit you, I'm really looking forward to meet you Monkey D. Luffy."

Rayleigh come closer to camie who is still in the water tank and sent her a gentle smile, like a father caring his child.

"I'm going to removed that collar now." Rayleigh stated.

Pappag, Chopper and Brook trued to stop that if Rayleigh san will touch the collar it will explode just like the slaves of the celestial dragon when tried to remove the collar. Usopp also join saying that Franky is looking for the keys and it should be waited. Pappag also agree. I decided to voice out.

"Um, excuse me. Rayleigh san can take it off. I'm sure of it." I said and again, they stare at me. What's with them, they keep staring at me?! Also, where is this shyness coming from?! I freak out inside my mind.

After that, Rayleigh san proceed to remove the collar. Just like in the anime, the sound of the bomb activated. The guys is freaking out, the ticking got faster and Rayleigh san tossed the collar and it explode. Franky got the keys. Who got confuse on the situation. Franky just guve the keys to the other slaves.

Rayleigh started to walk towards us. He turn towards the people who is watching him in silence.

"You guys, you are just here to watch right? You seems not a pushover." The legendary old man said.

"It's a suprise to meet someone who is legendary man, Dark king Rayleigh." Eustass kid commented.

Rayleigh answer him that he prefer to be called the old craftsman and not to him call him that title. Then, Rayleigh san proceed to lightly scold hachi for walking around on this island. After that, Rayleigh turn towards me and pat my head and slightly ruin my hair, i whine on that. Everybody is staring at us now.

"Y-n chan, what are you doing here? You should not be here, what if the celestial dragon sees you? They will surely kidnap you." Rayleigh san said removing his hand in my head waiting for my reply.

"I come here because i want to apologize that you got kidnap instead of me." I mumble while frowning. I hear the gasps of the people around us. I hear him sigh, before he can answer me, a voice resonated from the outside. Coming from a Megaphone.

"Criminal inside! Release the Roswald Family! An admiral will be here shortly to arrest you. Please surrender and no harm will happen!"

Law scoffed and smirk. Turning from staring at me. "So they think we are accomplies with Strawhat Luffy."

"So, the rumors are true. Strawhat luffy is crazy" Eustass Kidd added. "Well, i'm not here to fight with a Admiral."

Rayleigh nod. "I cannot use that power again. So i'm counting on you, i will be in trouble if the Marines found who i am."

"Well, i don't want to be saved by an old man. The longer we stay, the more Marines will arrive. I'm sure we will meet again, Doll. You seem interesting and you really look familiar." Eustass Kidd made a eye contact on me, smirking really big. "As an favor, i will save you guys. I will entertain the Marines outside. So just relax!" Eustass kidd then walk towards the exit.

I blush when he said that. He is really flirty in the anime.

Law and Luffy attention got that. They narrowed their eyes and follow the red head outside. Since they think its a competition.

"They are really simple-minded!" Name grumbled.

Usopp proceed to said that they need to go to the safer place. Franky come closer to us while Camie and Pappag at his back. Zoro suggested to follow the three. Rayleigh agree on that while putting hachi in his back. I help him when he do that. Rayleigh then said to meet in the Groove #13 if we got separated. Zoro immediately agree. Then, usopp immediately turned down Zoro.

Until, all weapons in the auction house started to float. I even see the guys avoided it. All weapons immediately proceed outside. Eustass is now using his devil fruit. It really amazing to see it. I thought.

Meanwhile at the three captains~

Law, Luffy and Eustass kidd are now standing before the marines and they are talking now. Ignoring the words of the marines. They are talking about you.

"Oi Strawhat-ya and Eustass-ya, do you feel something strange to the hoodie girl?" Law started turning his attention to the other two.

"Now you mention it, something about that girl feels familiar." Eustass said while he stare ahead.

Luffy immediately grin and smile. "Well, you guys are  right. That girl is really familiar. I decided i will make her join my crew." proclaimed Luffy.

Eustass scoffed while Law just smirked. "We will see about that."

Then they proceed to use their devil fruit to fight back.

Back at you~

Rayleigh and us got outside and we see the three captains defeated the marines. They are now talking. Probably talking about the one piece.

A marine was about to attack Eustass but Killer immediately attack the marine. Same with law, but The cute Bear Bepo appear and kick the marines who want to attack his captain.

After they talk they turn toward us. Eustass crew immediately followed him. He immediately stop and turn towards me and smirk. After that Eustass Kidd go to their way.

Law is talking to the giant slave who is sitting outside the auction house. Law's crew immediately follow him. Before they can walk Law stare at me grin and waved. His crew got confused on that. They followed where their captain is staring and they see a brown hair girl with blue eyes. Wearing a hoodie, blink upon their captain acknowledgement. They walk away after that.

***

After we got away from the auction house. Me and the guys arrive at the Groove #13 courtesy by the Flying fish riders. At the view, there is the bar of Shakky san.

The strawhats got shock after they found out that Rayleigh san is the first mate of the Gol D. Roger, the king of the pirates. Luffy also found out that Shanks is a former apprentice of the Pirate king. I want to see Shanks again, hopefully soon. I thought while i serve the drinks of the strawhats who thank me after that.

Then, Rayleigh san proceed the wish of the strawhats who want their ship to be coated. Hachi then ask how much is the price. Rayleigh immediately said he will do it for free. Usopp cheer on that.

Robin immediately stood up after her silence. She proceed then ask Rayleigh san about the Void Century. I'm not sitting at the corner while drinking my juice and eating rice with some egg and beef.  Shakky san give it to me since she hear my stomach growl i got shy on that while she just laugh. I'm listening to their conversation.

Rayleigh san immediately said that he knows, he then offered to tell robin about it who politely declined that she will see it with herself and then usopp wants to know about it and immediately shut up by luffy. Who fell from surprise and his captain.

"Usopp! I don't want to know about it, if we knew then our journey will end immediately! I rather give up being a pirate if the old men tell us! I don't want to have a boring adventure!!"

Usopp fastly said that he don't want to know it. Rayleigh san ask luffy if he can conquer the Grandline. Luffy said that he don't want to conquer anything, he just want to be the pirate king because it was the person who have more freedom. Rayleigh and Shakky smile proudly on that. Me also, it was nice to hear it in person when he said that. While i was thinking i hear my name was mention.

"Old man, i want to say something!" Luffy suddenly talk. Rayleigh give his full attention to Luffy waiting for what he was about to say. Luffy then pointed me and his crew then got confused but stare at me. I feel like i want to sink in my chair. I nearly fell when i hear what he said.

"I want Y-n to join my crew!!!" Luffy happily stated.

"WHAT?!?!?" I shout.
