Chains (Sabo x Reader)

It was the second day of the party. Dragon had made a speech (more like a statement), and everyone was involved in an all-day competition of paint war. Of course, you chose the simplest outfit of a white long-sleeves and jeans knowing that it would be covered in an array of colors at the end of the day. After you fixed your (hair color) hair in a ponytail, you headed for the cafeteria where everyone was supposed to meet.

"Hey, (Name)!" You looked to your left to see Koala waving at you with both arms. The girl continued to wear her maroon newsboy hat with goggles. You waved back and went towards the girl.

"So what's happening?"

"They're going to explain the game!" Koala replied, excited

The war consists of five battles, each lasting one hour long. All of the Revolutionaries were divided into six teams: East Blue, North Blue, West Blue, South Blue, Grand Line, and New World. Each team is represented with colors: blue, green, yellow, red, orange, and purple. To win a battle, a team would need to have the most survivors at the end of one hour: people without paint at their heart. By winning, the team would earn points. 10 points are given to the team with most survivors and 8 points to second place, etc. By the end of the all five battles, whichever team had the most points would win the paint war.*

Being from East Blue, you were equipped with a paint gun with blue paint.

"Cool! You're from East Blue, too?" Sabo asked.

"Yup! Goa Kingdom on Dawn Island. How about you?" you asked even though you already knew the answer.

"I think I was from Goa, too. At least that was where Dragon got me." He raised his gun in the air. "Let's win this for East Blue!"

"Well, too bad. I'm going to kill you before you even fire!" Koala announced. "Grand Line!" Several other people shouted after her call.

"We'll see about that, Koala," you playfully challenged. "I'm actually quite handy with this type of gun." You aimed at the girl.

"Everyone, the first battle will start at 10:00 in the first floor. Remember that you are not allowed to into the weaponry or kitchen. Other than that, everywhere else on that floor is free," the den den mushi announced.

Sabo linked his arm to yours, causing you to blush. "Come on, let's go!"

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

Thankfully, you had survived the first two battles without getting shot in the heart, which would have resulted in getting you kicked out for the rest of the war. It was 12:30 when everyone went on break to eat lunch. Koala had invited you and Sabo to go to her room to eat.

   "You get your own room?! Lucky~" you exclaimed.

"Do you not have a room?" Koala asked as she opened her door.

You shook your head. "Nope, I stay in the women's dormitory."

"Even though you help Dragon-san? Sabo, maybe you should ask for her! A girl like (Name) deserves it!"

"Ehh? You don't have to..."

Sabo nodded in agreement as he got out some bread from Koala's pantry. "Of course."

As you helped prep for simple sandwiches, Koala and you chatted away and Sabo stood by attentively listening. Koala's room was rather spacious and more like an apartment. Her "apartment" had a mini kitchen, which she would need to share if another person moved in.

"Maybe you could live in my room!" she had said. The living quarter also had a bathroom, a bedroom, and a small living room.

"How about your room, Sabo? What's it like?" you asked in between bites of your sandwich**.

"I only have a bedroom and bathroom. I don't need a kitchen."

"Koala rolled her eyes. "That's only because you always come in here and steal my food."

"True..." Sabo rubbed his nose.

You sweat-dropped.

"Everyone, the third battle will start at 1:30. Remaining participants are to fight in the cafeteria. If you are late, you're considered dead."

"Shoot! It's 1:20!" Koala shot up from the table. Sabo stuffed the rest of the sandwiches in his mouth and the three of you raced to the cafeteria.

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

In the third battle, East Blue had the most survivors. During the battle, you paired up with Sabo and eliminated a lot of people, including Koala who was killed by none other than yourself.

Koala walked up to you with her t-shirt painted blue at the place of her heart. "I thought that we were friends!" she whined.

"Not when you had gave me a death threat before the start of this war!" you retorted. Sabo and you high-fived.

Unfortunately, you had died in the fourth battle, so during the fifth battle, you cheered for Sabo. In the end, North Blue won the fifth battle and had won the paint war. East Blue came in second, and surprisingly, Grand Line came in fourth. Koala had explained that Grand Line had won majority of the games before. Also, because of the mess, everyone spent the rest of the evening cleaning the paint all around the Revolutionary base, only to start a soap war of who can fill the entire headquarters with soap the fastest.

Finally, after taking a nice shower in your new bathroom, you laid on your soft bed in your now new room. Sabo had already asked for and Dragon quickly agreed. Your room was like Sabo's, consisting of only a bedroom and bathroom. Koala helped you move your things. When you had hung up the long fabric chain around your room (yes you still kept it), Koala had sighed.

"Too bad you didn't choose to stay with me... It would've been fun to have a roommate," then she smiled, saying, "But you're free to come to my room anytime!"

You gave a deep sigh of relief. "It's so nice to have friends like this," you thought, thinking back to life before being a Revolutionary. You were always alone, besides the time with the Strawhats and...

Puru-puru-puru. Puru-puru-puru. You reached over to side of your bed and pulled out your den den mushi. You grinned as you answered the call, happy to see the freckles on the den den mushi's face.

"Yo, (Name), it's me, Ace."

"Ace!" you squealed, "I was just thinking about you!"

Ace chuckled at the other end, "Oh, really? Hey, I have a favor to ask of you..."

"What's up with that? I haven't talked in you for such a long time and the first thing you say is ask for a favor..." you fake pouted.

"Heh, heh, sorry. How about if involved me meeting up with you?"

"Really?!" you thought for a while. "But, I'm part of the Revolutionary Army..."

"That's perfect! There's also someone I'd like to meet."

"A Revolutionary? Who?"

The rest of the conversation consisted of setting up a meeting place. If you were to go on a mission with the person Ace wants to see, then you would contact Ace and he would see you there. You had trusted Ace enough that he wouldn't be stupid and reveal the information to anyone. Now if it was Luffy, that's different story.

"Bye, Ace! It was nice talking to you!"

"Hey, next you can call me, too, (Name)" Gacha.

"A mission... I don't really go on any though..." You looked at the time. It was already 2 in the morning. "Better get to sleep! Tomorrow is the third of the party!"

*(A/N: Man, that was a lot of info! 'Takes a deep breath')
