Chapter Text
JINX POV
I suddenly gain consciousness and find myself falling. The connection between Viktor's mind and mine is broken. Does this mean Ekko did it? fufufufu The Boy Saviour indeed take that to your glorious evolution tin cookie, hahhaaaa. Hmm, where are Vi and Warwick? They are falling. Wait a minute, wasn't I falling as well? A ledge was rapidly approaching me. "Oh shit!" Damn, that hurt. Owww.
Vi is standing on a platform below me on the opposite side, but it looks like it is going to break any minute. "If you hurry, you can make the other ledge!" But she was not listening to me; she was staring at something.
"Vi, what are you…" She was looking at Warwick lying right beside her, secretly wishing Vander was back. We were both hoping for the same, but the truth was obvious.
"You… you can't save him…"
Vi approaches Warwick to see if he is alright, disregarding my warning; suddenly he gets up and growls and pounces at Vi, trying to break the ledge. "You are a jinx ~Vi." "She jinxes everything ~Mylo." Gahhh, shut up before even realizing what I was doing. Vi was in front of me, and Warwick was being pushed down by me using my shimmer speed, and I fell down with him, and Vi saved me, but Warwick hung on to me by my stomach, and she stared at me with a desperate look in her eyes.
That is when I decide this is the way to go, protecting the last precious thing I had in this .The world that took everything else away from me. Vi teaching me how to jump, robbing Piltover right by my sis watching her fight the stories we created as children, our mother, father, and Vander. These were my best memories, and they wouldn't be anything without Vi.
As she looks at me sadly, trying to pull me up, Warwick is trying to climb up, and the ledge is breaking, so with a sad smile, I say, "Always with you, sis" and break the hextech crystal out of her gauntlet, loosening her grip.
"Nooo," shouts Vi as tears roll in my eyes as we were falling ,looking at Vi one last time breaks my heart as I turn around and hold onto Vander, comforting myself with the knowledge that Vi is safe now. I managed to protect someone without Jinxing everything. I look at Warwick and see Vander in him, how he used to take care of our family, how much he cared for me. Hugging him one last time, I bring out the hextech gemstone bomb.
Muttering, "I am sorry, Ekko." I pull the pin to blow us up, but as it explodes, the hextech crystal that fell out of Vi's glove glows blue and envelops me in blue light. While watching Warwick disintegrating, I get protected from the explosion in the blue light and suddenly disappear.
SANJI POV
"Oi, shitty geezer. Get off my back and let me work in peace." He just looks blandly at me and goes, "Go and sleep, brat. We don't need you here. It's nearly midnight. We have better chefs than you for the customers." The nerve of him, as if there is a better chef in this shitty restaurant than me. Can't he just let me feel useful? "I will do whatever I want, geezer; you don't tell me what to do," the stupid old man says. "Is that so?" and he kicks me square on from the kitchen and locks the door. "Tch, uhh might as well get some sleep, I guess." I get to my bed at the top room of the ship and close my eyes and suddenly crashhh I open my eyes to see my whole roof gone. "What the!" Zeff comes running up. "Oi, Sanji! That better not be your doing, brat, or I will drown you right here!"
Ignoring the geezer I look at the ocean and spot a beautiful blue-haired angel drowning; immediately pushing off the geezer out of my face, I jumped to her rescue. By the time I got her back on the ship, she was fine but unconscious. "Is she the one that damaged my ship! She will pay for it!" the stupid says. Can't he see that she is an angel and whatever she does should be forgiven? "Oi! Damn geezer, can't you see her? She is such a beauty. How dare you talk about her like that?" His eyebrows twitch. "I don't care if she is an angel or a fishman or anything; she damaged my ship, and she will pay."
Seeing that there is no point in arguing with the geezer, I put her to bed.
JINX POV
I wake up feeling my whole body ache like I crashed into a ship or something… Huh, why do I feel like I actually did crash into a ship? Slowly opening my eyes, I see fresh hot soup. Where even am I? Well, I might as well get working on the soup. We don't want it to get cold, do we? Hnhnhn. Oh! Yum, this is probably what those lucky people at Filthover ate. No wonder Vi turned blue-belly; even I would if I could eat this every day.
Oh! Wait, that's right, Vi! What happened? I... I am alive? Just then the door opened, and this tall blondie with swirly eyebrows came in, and as soon as he saw me, his eyes turned into hearts. "Angel chwaann you are awake! I brought some breakfast for your beautiful self so you would have a beautiful day" and twirls around doing a weird dance. Huh, weird, but I have seen weirder I guess. "Hey Chuck! Thanks for the meals. Say, do you happen to know where I am?" The swirly's eyes pop out even more with hearts beating inside them. "Oh angel chwaan, I am not Chuck; I am Sanji, but you may call me Beloved! We are at the floating restaurant in East Blue, "The Baratie." "
East Blue! How did I make it from Piltover, which is all the way in West Blue, till here? Oh, that's right; that blue light threw me off from the explosion. Swirly was still doing weird dances in front of me. "Oh, Angel chwaann I saved you from drowning; now will you kiss me?" Ugh, this is getting annoying. I moved quickly and decked him in the neck and ran from the room, and as soon as I got out, an angry old chef pulled me back by my hair. "Where do you think you're going, missy?" Ugh. "Let me go, asshat. I have places to be." He raised his eyebrow and said, "You are not going anywhere without paying for the damages you have caused, young lady," and pointed me at the missing roof. Huh, so I did indeed crash into a ship last night what do you know?
"Your ship was in my way, Hatman," I say and pull at his mustache. "Hair for mustache, Bighat!" He lets me go and says, "You can leave after working here for a year, brat." Snort, "Huh, as if you could stop me if I wanted to go," I say confidently. He frowns and says, "Care to try?" Immediately activating my shimmer, I sprint to bash his nose in but he dodges it simply and kicks me, knocking the wind out of my lungs. "You are a fast brat, but don't go underestimating a Grand Line pirate." Okay, time for plan B. "Alright, alright, geez, I will work here and repair your boat for you. Will you let me go then?" He looks at me sharply for a second and nods his head and says, "But before that, I have a few questions.".
"Yeah, ask away. What is your name anyway, and why are you wearing a hat like that? I won't lie, I love the mustache, but why is it that long? Overcompensating for something? With the long hat, mustache, and all, huh?"
"Stop with your cheek, brat. I am Zeff, the captain of this ship. I am the one asking questions here, so what's your name and where are you from?"
"Well, I am Jinx from Piltover, well, Zaun, I guess. I am, let's say, yeah, an inventor and a toolsmith. Let's go with that."
"Piltover? Isn't that the independent nation in West Blue? How did you crash into my ship?"
"Well, that's a long story, but basically I went boom, and now I am here. Can I ask a few questions? Now, what's wrong with your leg, old man?"
"Ahh, my leg. Well, I gave it up for my dream to be alive." He looks to his right, where we both know that the swirly was listening to us, "but it looks like it's just going to waste away with me."
"That's not what I am asking about, oldie. Say, would you allow me to eat and live here for free for a year if I built you a new, better leg?"
"Are you an expert in prosthetics now?"
"Well, I dabbled; trust me, you will love it."
"Alright brat, let's see what you come up with."
"It's never too late to build something new with someone worth building it for. ~Ekko"
"Alright then, I will get to work."
The swirly comes out of the room as the old man leaves. "Do you think you can really build a better leg for him?"
"Of course I have a lot of experience in prosthetics." Well, actually just one, but it was a banger, alright.
"Thank you so much, angel chwaan. I will never forget your help. I owe that old man so much. Alright, so any help you need, just ask me."
Shishishi, plan B is coming along perfectly now. I will build his leg, and on the side, I can make my guns and bombs burn this place down and escape from here. "Daddy issues, huh? Been there, done that. Well, I will need your help, Swirlsyy. I will give you a list of materials. Could you go get them for me from the nearest island and call me Jinx?"
"As you wish, Jinx Chwaan," he says and starts that weird dance again. Is that some East Blue mating ritual? No wonder the pilties isolated themselves from the outside world. "So where do we start the work, chef?
1 month later
I made the damn leg. I wanted to put a roulette on the leg, but the stupid mustache guy saw those plans and tore them apart, but still I put everything I could in this leg, like this drill he could use to drill through the flesh after kicking people and a place to conceal a secret knife or a gun, and well, a lot more. He told me he was called Red Leg. Zeff, because his legs were covered in the blood of his foes. I want an epithet too. I am so jealous. Why do all these pirates have wanted posters with these cool epithets, and mine is just Jinx? Anyway, I built all my old weapons. Sadly, no hextech power, just good ol' pow pow, some monkey bombs, and my favorite fish bones.
I tried to be as careful as possible, but Patty saw me making fish bones, but thankfully he was just very impressed and agreed to be quiet if I made him a lobster-shaped bazooka that he dreamed of when he was a child. I asked why a lobster, and he just solemnly said, "A man wants what a man wants". It seems like I am the sane one in this place, so I made him that exactly. I thought it looked funny and not at all intimidating, but he loved it and thanked me for making his dream come true. He named it "Meatball of Doom." Yeah, it turns out I am the sane one here.
A few days into making the leg, I found that Baratie is not peaceful at all; pirates and marines are always creating ruckus, so I thought it needed more weapons. So basically, I gave Baratie a makeover with my own style; now there is a lot more blue, which is just perfect. Also the old man somehow found my wanted poster and I panicked I thought he would kick me out he just asked me if I was a pirate so I told him I was the Helmsman of Firelight Pirates which is kind of true although our ship totally crashed out.
So the next part of my plan is to just burn everything down and escape but.. I got really attached to these people and this place I got too close but what's new I already know that anything and anyone that gets close to me dies right then why am I feeling sad again. Maybe I should just stay here breaking the cycle away from everyone and not burn this place down maybe this place will be fine with me.
As I was wrapping up the leg with Sanji in his room, then ** Crashh** from my side sanji muttered, "Not this again," as the roof disappeared again this time by a cannon from the looks of it, who just decided to attack the ship!
