What does that Akisu want?!?!

I’ll steal your most priceless treasure away from your grasp so you better watch out~ Akisu

I imagined the thief’s devilish smile until…

"Eradicator-ya, alive there?" Captain knocked on my forehead like it was a door.

“Why does it have to be my head always?” I withdrew myself by stepping a few steps backwards and glared to him, just to see him smiling again.

How can he smile when he just got a threat? Does he even remember that?

“Seems like you’re spacing out again huh?” he asked as he sat on the couch.

“I AM NOT” I clarified and crossed my arms, resting my back on the wall.

“You seriously think you can lie to me?” he stared at me with a smirk on his face and spun his scalpel around his fingers. “Have any visions bothering you recently?”

Can his Devil Fruit read minds?

I remembered the note I wrote with the most recent vision I had and pulled it out.

“Room” he muttered as the blue sphere engulfed our surroundings. “Shambles”

The note I held was replaced by his scalpel as I saw a clear reflection of myself. When silence enveloped the room, the words of the poem played in my head.

“This was the one bothering you?” he inquired, drawing my attention back to him.

“More or less” I replied.

“Worrying doesn’t do anything good Eradicator-ya” he told me as he crumpled the piece of paper and snuck it into his pocket.

Why does he act cool and stuff?

Without noticing, I flicked the scalpel towards him to the point it buried itself on the wall, missing his cheek.

“Sorry!” I stepped forward, my hands waving in front of me. “I-I d-didn’t mean t-to!”

 He smiled like nothing happened and pulled the scalpel without turning his head. “Like I said…”

He teleported in front and poked me on the forehead, making me stagger a few step backwards. “Don’t worry”

I immediately placed both hands on my forehead and glared at him. “Stop doing stuff on my head!”

The ends of his lips curled into a smile as he nested both of his hands in his pockets. “That’s the Amaryllis I know. Act more natural, got that?”

Shivers went down my spine upon hearing my name but I recalled the last line he said.

Act natural?

“It’s natural for a crew member to worry about their captain” I responded.

He sighed in annoyance. “You’re so hard to handle Eradicator-ya”

He started to leave the room until he left some parting words. “I’m not the one at fault if something happens to you while thinking about that”

The moment he left, I muttered to myself.

“I won’t”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I lingered around Sabaody some more with my hood on, trying to calm myself down.

Worrying isn’t doing you good Amaryllis, Mitsuki spoke in my mind.

I’m doing my best to cool down okay? I thought so she was the only one who can hear what I was saying.

“HOW DARE YOU FOR NOT BOWING DOWN BEFORE US!”

I snapped back to reality to see people on their knees before a bunch of fish-tank people.

“I’ll handle this trash” a cold voice from behind them spoke.

E-EDRAELE?

Her head was down as she gazed at me with piercing eyes. “You guys go on ahead” She drew her pistol out to her side and continued, “I’ll follow you guys”

The Nobles surprised because of her personality-switch agreed as the people went back to their feet while Edraele took me to an isolated grove.

“WWAAAAHHHHH!!!!” she lunged into me and wrapped her arms around me. “I’m sorry if I made you worried Amaryllis-chan!!!”

“Don’t worry” I was surprised for using the line and realized what Captain must’ve felt. I pulled her away and gave a reassuring smile.

“As much as I want to hang out with you, I have to leave since the Government asked or more like, leave the place temporarily for our protection” Edraele spoke. “They’ve been on high alert ever since the Auction House Incident”

“Don’t remind me of it” I shook my head. “Was it because of the Moonlight Specter?”

She shook her head and said, “There were a bunch of crusaders called the ‘Crossaide’ coming and they aren’t sure if they’re trusted or not”

“But they certainly aren’t pirates right?” I questioned.

“Yep” Edraele responded.

“Better safe than never, take care” I told her.

“Thanks Amaryllis-chan!” she flashed a smile before leaving as she waved at me. “Hope we’ll see each other soon”

{“It would take long before we see each other again” Edraele mused in her mind as she thought of Amaryllis.

“You sure you aren’t going to tell her?” Lysanthir asked her.

“I think it’s for Amaryllis-san’s own good” she replied. “Besides, she looks broken already and I don’t like the idea of telling her what I saw”}

I fixed my hair into a messy bun since people around me aren’t that fast to recognize me. It’s more of like ‘Mind your own business’.

As soon as I was done doing my hair, a guy collided into me.

“I’m sorry!” I said first as I glanced at him. Woah, he looks like a genderbend of myself and yeah, more masculine-ish.

“OI PANDA, YOU SPOILED EVERYTHING!” a girl with black hair and crimson eyes slammed her fist on the poor guy’s head.

“Don’t get infuriated with Panda-kun, Heather-chan” another girl, this time with pink hair and blue eyes, spoke.

“I told you to call me Reos!” the one called ‘Panda’ told the two girls.

“Don’t mind them Amaryllis-chan” a white-haired boy with blue eyes called for my attention.

“Beautiful as ever Amaryllis” the commotion died down as a blonde guy stepped in.

I didn’t know how to react due to the shock I just received.

“You guys are-“I paused as I blinked hard to confirm this wasn’t just a mere illusion.

“Remember us?” the blonde guy was behind me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

Fighting back the tears wasn’t powerful enough to stop the flow of happiness I was feeling.

“Everyone-“I sniffed as the pink-haired girl wiped the tears off. “You’re all okay”

They gave me a warm group hug and as soon as we pulled away, I noticed a similar logo on them, also bearing the word:
