Chapter 29. Lonely Boy
˝HOW COULD YOU!?˝
˝I was investigating. I HAVE A JOB TO DO AND THAT'S KEEPING THIS CREW SAFE.˝
˝How dare you even think I'd do something like that!? I am the DOCTOR! I could've just poisoned you all OR LET NAGA OUT. YOU WANT THAT TIN CAN?!˝
Kidd sat on the stairs to the upper deck and listened to Killer and Dea bicker and yell at each other. He was fuming like a mad man when they rematerliazed. There were men who needed treatment but the piss god Killer was too busy shouting, not that Dea did a better job. Apparently Killer wanted Law to question her.
˝Would you mind explaining, my quartermaster, just why you didn't tell me anything?˝- Kidd asked and earned silence from them. Killer cleared his throat.
˝You fuck her I needed someone objective˝
˝So me, as the Captain, isn't fucking enough that you had to go to another pirate crew for help?˝- Kidd challenged.
Well I'm so above you
And it's plain to see
˝He owed me a favour and I wanted to cash it in˝
˝Did you tell Heat or Wire?˝
˝No˝
˝You do realize in what situation you put me in, right Killer? Dea go treat the men, some of them have lost arms and legs in the fight˝
˝Um yeah are they all in the sick bay?˝- Dea rushed passed Killer shooting him a nasty glare. She heard him You fuck her˝... How fucking rude can he be? Truthfully she expected this..the reaction of the crew, she being with Kidd. She was prepared to hear shit and gossip from the men but from the man she thought was her friend and close ally to Kidd..that hurt and made her suspicious as hell. Kidd didn't say a word about them but she knew he had to maintain his position as a Captain to keep everything under control. Such is the fate when you mingle with pirates. Sighing she rushed to the sick bay. How long has she been away from the ship? Hours? The infections and poor stitching jobs were eating her conscious away.
˝You're silent, that's new˝- Killer said.
˝What do you want me to do? Shout at you? Curse? It doesn't mean shit when I don't know if I can trust the closest friend I ever had.˝- Kidd said and knew he hit something. He hoped that he could make this right, if not...Killer would have to leave. He can't have someone on a high position and not trust him.
˝Why do you believe her so much? She has pirate blood and she didn't tell us, she has this thing in her and we only learned about it because she lost control and Doflamingo! Kidd he's a Schibukai!˝- Killer yelled.
˝I knew...˝
˝How?˝
˝Asked that man-woman thing back at the Inn..˝
˝What?˝
˝Hurts ha? When somebody doesn't tell you things you should have known. Why do you think I asked her to join? She has already all she needs to be a pirate, only a gently push was needed. Those three back then agreed to help if I took her in the crew. ˝
˝But you were surprised when she changed˝
˝Beacuse I didn't know what she would be, the men-woman said her father messed with her genes but he didn't know what exactly he did. He wasn't running from Doflamingo. They're from the same place but they didn't sail together. They were friends if you believe him˝
˝And you think he won't come after us know that word reaches him about Dea?˝
˝I don't know and I don't care, Killer I knew what I was getting into when I said I wanted to be King of the pirates, it's not only sailing through the Grand Line, it's battling big shots like him and proving your worth. I hoped I had men I could trust my back..˝ - Kidd said and got up.
˝You trust her with your life, why˝- Killer asked. He was leaning on the mast facing Kidd with his arms folded like he didn't believe the words the other men muttered.
˝She trusts hers with me, it's enough for me˝- Kidd answered. It was the truth. They never said such things to each other but they could feel it. You don't talk with someone about having kids or spilling your darkest secrets if you don't trust them fully.
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don't mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
˝OH GOD WHAT IS THIS?! I'm going to loose my mind with you all! Okay...*deep breath* Scratches, nicks and other similar bruises form a line north of my desk, those who need stitching next to them, those who need to amputate closest to me. I'll have to go on that order to save the damage you did. Who exactly mended your wounds? It's SHIT!?˝- Dea shouted pulling her white robe on. The sick bay was a bloody mess filled with anxious men.
˝I did..I didn't know better I'm sorry neechan!?˝- Nate came running to her and cried.
˝Nate STOP CRYING!˝- Dea shouted at him sternly. The men stared in horror at their doctor. She never shouted at Nate, never. ˝Men don't cry and I need your assistance, now pass me that box we need to clean the wounds of the broken limbs˝- Nate sniffled at her words but complied never the less. He'd make up for making a mess and help his nakama the best he could.
Dea was on a verge to kick everything and everyone out. She had been kidnapped, betrayed by her crew member and now she had a bloody carnage in her sick bay to fix. Just what did she do wrong that morning to deserve such?
Men stood, limped and sat all around her holding bruised and bloody limbs. Some had arms blown away from cannon balls, others were shot or cut with a cutlass. Battles on the sea were not pretty.
˝Did Law do this?˝- Dea growled as she was sewing a man's fist of. The bones where pulled out and now only a bloody meat sack dangled from his wrist. She thanked the Gods for morfium. It was saving their asses right now.
˝Yes Ma'm, he played with Captain and us. He was ruthless like a giant squid. Slimy and evil.˝- Dea gigled at the description. Law, a giant slimy squid. It fit, he was an arse anyways..
˝Okay, keep it dry and come tomorrow for me to rewrap it. Next!˝- Dea took a large breath in and gathered strength. It would take all day at best to clean this up.
And I should've done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting
˝Are you sleeping on the desk?˝- Kidd came in the sick bay holding a plate and a mug. Dea was lying on her desk, robe flithy amd bloody with hands dangling of the sides. The soiled gloves dripped blood on the floor. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were bloodshot.
˝Too tired. I need medical books˝
˝I thought you were a doctor..˝
˝For Nate. He patched the men up˝
˝That was him?˝˝
˝How's is gunnership going?˝
˝Bad, he's to scared to shot someone, here eat˝
˝Thanks then I'll write an official letter to you to assign him to me. I want to educate him, let him be my right hand. Kidd, the carnage the last battle cause was too much for me to handle, I can't do this alone!˝
˝Only if he wants to, he wanted to be a gunner Dea, where you going?˝
˝Wash my hands! I'm all bloody and my POOR SICK BAY!˝
˝It's still here, why are you yelling? The fuck?˝
˝It's filthy! I want it spotless˝
˝Now you'll tell me you want someone to clean it..ahahahah˝
˝Not a bad idea, but let me I'll be faster. I don't need an infection running loose on board.˝- Dea shivered and took the plate from Kidd. Steamed vegetable buns, pasta with corn and a mug filled with cold ale. Heaven. ˝Thank's for the food, I was starving˝
˝How you holding up?˝- Kidd asked after a few moments. Dea devoured the food while sitting next to him. He like watching her do things but her eating habits. She was neat but fucking fast. The woman inhaled food. ˝Do you even chew?˝
˝Sometimes˝- Dea grinned at him ˝I'm tired and my ego is bruised˝
˝Killer˝?
˝Yeah also that fluffy bastard˝
˝I'll kill him one day and give you that hat so you can burn it..Killer he'll have to deal with some stuff alone˝
˝One of the reasons I like you˝- Dea pecked Kidd on the lips and hugged his arm ˝Right now I could dent his mask with my bare hands˝- Kidd laughed.
˝You're not the only one˝
˝Hmm?˝
˝The crew is mad at him for betraying you˝
˝They're on my side?˝- Dea asked bewildered and Kidd nodded. A small smile formed on her face – so they finally accepted her.
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
