Hey Everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope you all had a great Christmas (if you celebrate it) and an awesome new year. I'm sorry it's taken so long for a new chapter to come out, I've been super busy with work, Christmas shopping, you can blame heavily on One Punch Man (yes, I fell for the hype 😌) and other stuffs (and fics). I must let you guys know that a terrible tragedy has struck, for I have learned the hard way to back up all writings on multiple devices and on the net, cloud or whatever. The main victim was an Age of Ultron fanfic that I was immensely proud of and was about %80 complete, it had a really good really sad/heart tearing/tearjerking scene that I will never be able to write that good again. However, Enyo's story was not without its casualties, and unfortunately I lost a very special chapter I was going to give to you guys when the time was right. I called it Chapter 0. Along with that I lost the writings of Enyo's backstory as well... But fear not! For it is all still in my mind and I fully intend to rewrite chapter 0! and of course cannot not write Enyo's backstory.
Super thanks to AltairsEvilAngel, PeyPey206, SapphireCookieFairy, horselover90, sljk156fun and Nurqistina for adding this story to your favourites! 💜

Dear Jujub2001
I loved your huge review and that you seem to be just as much of a One Piece fanatic as I am 😁. Don't worry, Halloween is not very big over here either, at least not like America anyways. I'm very envious that you live in France! I have been there twice and it's such a wonderful place. I love the pastries and architecture and spent like three whole days in the Louvre. My father comes from Gouvieux near Chantilly, so I'm half French myself. May I ask what town you are from? Anyways down to business 😈 I CANT HELP IT! I just love the suspense of a cliff hanger, it makes the imagination go wild. As for what she recalls you will find out in this chapter, but I can tell you that there is something bigger and much darker buried deep within Enyo's memories that will come to light eventually. Your little straw hat faces are so cute and I will definitely keep them coming. *Bows graciously to the applause* (lol) thank you, thank you* blows kisses* QUESTION TIME! I think we may get a chance to see some backstory on Law's crew but not a lot (like how we only know Bepo is a mink and they met 10 years ago), mostly because apart from Law himself we only know the names of four others and if we do get any it would be brief, like where they came from and how they met Law but that's probably it. I really hope we get to visit the submarine! I desperately want to see what it's like inside, but most of all I want I know what its name is (like Thousand Sunny, Moby Dick, etc) what do you think it's name would be? I would really like to see Kidd's backstory, I want to know what he wishes to gain from becoming the pirate King. Is it for the power? The money? Is he trying to prove something to somebody? And his alliance is going after Shanks, but why did they choose him? Stuff like that. If the One Piece world existed wouldn't that mean we were a part of it? So we would speak whatever language they do. However, if they were to enter our world I would hope they speak Japanese because those are the voices I'm familiar with, but I don't speak Japanese so I'd really hope I can somehow understand them magically or they come with subtitles like in Austin powers... :3 I gotta say though, wether I know what he is saying or not I could listen to Law's voice all day 😏. I think there probably was a cave-man like era in One Piece but no cataclysmic event like ours did. Though rarely, we do see on some islands that there are dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures still living and breathing, perhaps as the human race evolved and grew, their numbers declined like some species do today due to human interference. Like the Tasmanian tiger they might have been hunted, or driven from their feeding grounds by settlements. Ancient zoan fruits exist therefore the animal must have existed at some point (otherwise they wouldn't be called ancient) and that they (the creature itself) are so scarce in the modern OP world people are like woah! Super rare! But that's just my opinion alone. Hmmmmmm if ace didn't die... Well we know Sabo wouldn't have gotten the mera mera no mi, he may not have even remembered his past (it was only reading about Ace's death that, albeit violently and abruptly, cured his amnesia.). Ace would have definitely tried to at some point go after Teach (again) to avenge Whitebeard. Akainu would be pissed (lol). Aaaaand I can't think of any more right now... But I would love to hear what you think. I don't think there would ever be a water logia or zoan fruit, but they could maybe make some kind paramecia? Maybe like how people sugar touches turns into toys. people, animals or objects turn to water? But like with the same mass they originally had. A good example would be to go on YouTube and watch "the skittles touch", it's an advert but it's what I'm thinking at the moment. They said there was another reverie due, so I think Vivi will play a part but aside from that I can't see her reunited with the SH crew anytime soon. Not saying she won't but not in the near future. Again though, just my opinion. I think Sabo asked Robin to keep him a secret and I think she would only talk about dragon if Luffy asked, which he hasn't. I think we will see some stuff with dragon but not until Blackbeard and his crew gets there. I don't mind the questions at all they really made me think and I like that. I'm really sorry this chapter took so long to come out (Blame One Punch Man and Fairytale.) But I'm back on OP again so hopefully will be writing more 😊.
Dear Apple Bloom
Sweet 😄, I'm glad you're liking it and I will do my best to continue writing an exciting awesome story! (And with what I have planned it will be 😈 mwahahahahaha!)
Dear sarge1130
I'm really happy with how the resus scene worked out and hope it was as intense to you and the other readers as it was for me thinking and writing it. Congratulations on passing your exam. Yeah the crew does get worried about her but sometimes the wrong reasons. So far, Jean Bart seems to be the only one apart from Law who takes her for who she is and how she acts, not thinking that she's a pretty, innocent girl who needs protecting. However, everyone needs protecting once in a while. As for her memory, we'll see what she recalls in this chapter. Later though we will find out that it's very strange for Enyo to forget things.😉😉
Dear Audrey
The review is only saying "song reference found" I'm afraid I don't understand... pretty please elaborate 💛
Chapter 18 Memories
Enyo sat up in the bed and looked down at her bandaged hands, she frowned, "That bitch.". Suddenly a worried looking Bepo burst into the infirmary, "Enyo! Are you okay?! I heard the monitor going crazy!" The pair made eye contact and Enyo's surprised expression eased gently "I'm fine. Tthank you." The bear's features quickly turned to that of relief "Thank goodness, I was worried for a second there." 'You don't say...' ( -_-'). Enyo pulled the blankets back and swung her legs around to hop off the bed "Wait! w-what are you doing?!" Bepo ran over waving his arms frantically.
"Uhh… getting up?"
"You can't! Captain said you need to rest!"
'greeaaat…" ( -_- )
"but... I just wanted to go and put some fresh clothes on." she said pitifully, glancing down at her damp pyjamas.
"AH! IM SORRY!"
"it's ok." Enyo reassured the emotional pirate as she dismounted and they left the infirmary. The woman and bear walked down the empty halls of the sub, "Where is everybody?" She asked looking around for signs of life.
"They're out searching for the stolen treasure and the culprit."
She averted her eyes to the floor, it was her fault the thief got away with the treasure. "Do they have any leads?"
"Captain said he could smell traces of ol-oli-olibabun"
( O.O!) "You mean Olibanum?" she was familiar with the scent and knew where it would have came from.
"Yeah that! So he took Penguin and Sachi and headed for the church."
"Okay. . . But that still doesn't explain why everyone's gone."
"Oh right! Well Bart, Dorian, Spaulding and Pierro went to the main city to see if they could find out anything."
"Wait, who is Pierro again?"
"curly moustache."
"ahhhhh. Continue."
"and everybody else went to check the market town."
"I see..." the pair walked in silence for a few moments until Bepo spoke up, "By the way Enyo, how did you know about the intruder on the ship in the first place?"
'Crap! I should have known someone would ask me that sooner or later. I cant tell him the truth, I felt bad vibes. He'll think I'm crazy!'
"Oh, I was just up getting a drink and heard a strange noise so I went to check it out and yeah..." Enyo trailed off and inwardly sighed in relief as they reached her room. She opened the door and turned to see Bepo still standing there like he was waiting for something "uhhhh Bepo?"
"Yes?"
( -_- ') "What are you doing?"
"The captain said I have to keep an eye on you and make sure you get your rest."
'Greeeaaaaaat' ( -_- ') "you weren't in the infirmary when I woke up?"
Bepo bowed his head shamefully and muttered "I-I was getting a snack..."
Enyo giggled "don't worry, I wont tell." (o_) she gave him a wink but realised that it probably just looks like she's blinking, sad lines of her own began to manifest themselves and she walked silently into her room closing the door behind her. Enyo drew in a deep breath and exhaled, she walked over to her drawers and grabbed a towel and threw it on the bed, then took out an army green button up blouse with three-quarter sleeves and a pair of denim shorts. After peeling off her damp clothes she fully dried herself off and got dressed, she pulled out the drawer that was underneath her bed and selected a pair of brown mid-calf boots with a belt around the top and a gold buckle. The novice pirate turned her head to face the door, she needed to check if Bepo was still there so she could make her escape.
"Bepo-San?" She called.
"Yes? Is everything okay?" he answered back through the door.
"I'm feeling a bit dizzy, would you mind getting me some water?"
"O-of course!"
Enyo listened to Bepo's… pawsteps disappear down the hall. She put her shoes on and pulled her butt leg hair into a high pony but left her bangs loose to cover her bandaged eye. Slowly opening the door Enyo stuck her head out and checked both directions for her fluffy warden, she tiptoed so her heels wouldn't clack and echo through the sub. She had only taken a few steps when she hesitated, thinking about what Law. Had spoken to her about the day before.
*Flashback*
"Bepo and Dorian told me what happened." Law spoke like an adult about to scold a child "but when I got there-"
"you went back?!" (O.O) Enyo's mouth fell slightly agape and her eyes widened 'Why would he go back?!'
Law nodded "I did, but when I got there it would seem matters had already taken care of themselves." He paused for a moment. "It doesn't matter if you've only been with us for a short time, NO ONE disrespects my crew!" He seemed quite angry.
Enyo was still in surprise but her cheeks tinted the faintest pink, then Law's expression became serious "Enyo-ya, I don't know what you've been through in the past but I promise, here and now. You will NEVER have to fight alone again." His words pierced through her like a knife and Enyo couldn't stop tears that were forming, she tightened her quivering lips and bowed her head, hiding the emotions behind silvery bangs. Law Took a step forward and reached out with his right arm, the sudden contact of his hand with hers sent a shock wave through Enyo's system and she found herself frozen. "Come on." Law said as he took the bags she was carrying, relieving her some of the burden. His words brought her back to reality and she looked up to meet his gaze, her cheeks were flushed and lips parted softly, only the right side of her face was still moist with the aftermath of her sadness. Law's free hand rose to her face and gently brushed the remaining teardrops from beneath her eyes, his fingers lingered on her soft skin. Law quickly retracted his hand and hid it in his pocket while turning his head to the side, the brim of his fluffy hat overshadowed his eyes. "Let's head to the ship." turning on his heel he continued "everyone's worried about you." Enyo nodded "uh-huh." And followed her captain who had slung the shopping bags over his shoulder and now strolled casually back to the sub.
. . .
Bepo returned with the water and knocked on the door "Enyo, I brought your water…" There was no response so he tried again "Enyo?" Still nothing. The Bear opened the door and poked his head in, but the room appeared empty. He opened the door all the way and fully entered the small room, his beady black eyes landscaped the room slowly and drops of sweat began to appear on his fluffy head. The glass smashed on the floor as Bepo brought his hands up to his head "AHHHHHH!" He started panicking "THIS IS BAD! REALLY, REALLY BAD!" he ran around in circles while he shouted, but then he stopped. "I have to tell the captain!"
Bepo's shouting brought Enyo back from her memories "I have to tell the captain!"
'Shit!' Enyo quickly stepped out from her hiding place to see her caretaker running in the opposite direction, "Bepo!" She called. Upon hearing his name the bear skidded to a halt and turned around, his expression was confused but changed to joy upon seeing who it was who called after him."Enyo!" He said relieved as he jogged over to the woman "Thank goodness, I thought I'd lost you." Enyo let out a sheepish laugh as he continued "Where were you?"
"I was… Looking for you!"
The fuzzy pirate blinked and confusion"Me?"
"Yeah, I got worried seeing how the ship has been infiltrated it once already."
"Wait! You remember? How?!" Obviously he had failed to notice a lack of surprise when he spoke earlier about the thief.
Enyo brought her hand to her chin in thought "I'm not sure. It just came back to me while I was asleep."
"Well, what happened? Did you see the robbers face? Did you land a good hit? Did you do what I taught you?! No, you couldn't have, otherwise you wouldn't have lost."
"Hey!" ( _*) "look. I can see you have a lot of questions, so do I. So let's walk and talk, come on."
Enyo explained what happened as the pair walked through the sub "and that's all I remember."
"Sounds scary…" Bepo commented as he looked around in curiosity "Hey uhh… Where are we going?" He asked, noticing they weren't heading back to the infirmary but in the wrong direction entirely.
"Don't change the subject. What happened after I got locked in? Who found me? How did I end up in the infirmary?"
'She totally ignored me…'
"Bepo?"
"Ah I'm sorry! Well… It was Bart who you figured out where you were, then me Penguin, Sachi and Spud opened the door and you sorta got washed out with the water, then the captain carried you upstairs while we resealed the door. After that we ran upstairs and saw the captain trying to resuscitate you in the hallway.."
" Wait. By resuscitate, do you mean?" Enyo's Face reddened.
"Are you okay!? Do you have a fever?!"
"n-no, p-p-please continue."
"Anyway, after he gave you mouth-to-mouth-"
With that statement all the blood in Enyo's body rushed to her face with unmatchable speed. Bepo continued to talk but Enyo wasn't listening, instead she pictured what he had just told her.
[The scene was framed by a blush of pink and twinkling sparkles, Enyo laid there, eyes closed peacefully as the water that covered her body shimmered. The atmosphere was ethereal, and Law knelt beside her. Like a prince from a fairytale he leaned closer to her sleeping form, his eyes closed and lips parted gently as they need hers…] 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' Enyo furiously shook the fantasy from her thoughts 'What the hell brain?! It wouldn't have even been like that!... Focus, must focus on the task at hand." She turned her attention back to the talking bear… who was still talking. "Then we brought you back to the infirmary and the captain stayed with you till you woke up."
"The whole time?"
"Yeah, he seemed really worried."
Enyo lowered her head in shame "I'm sorry, I'll get stronger I promise." The pair were silent for a moment until they stopped, having reached the front door of the sub. Enyo raised her head and with a determined expression pushed forward the heavy door allowing the light of the sun to flood in.
"Wait a minute! Where are you going?!"
Silver haired woman looked back at the panicked bear, "There are penance to be paid," A smirk grew on Enyo's lips. "we're going to church."
