"Hurry your ass up, [Y/n]!" Moria called urging you to get on the ship. "King will bring Kaido back if we don't get moving now!"

"I'm moving as fast as I can," you tell him through your teeth as attempt to tighten the makeshift bandage on your arm.

Getting to the edge of the dock, you leap onto the ship, feeling the lack of blood when you were in the air. Adrenaline numbing the pain, you climb the mast and open the sails. The wind is in your favour as it starts to blow you away from the port just as Moria lifted up the anchor. 

"We're going to make it out of here!" you cheer to Moria who smiles at you. Even if the two of you were the only ones able to flee, it was fine. Moria can always find new crew members, it wouldn't be anything without the captain.

The sea calls to you and you feel the wind pushing the ship to meet the open waters, at least that's what you thought. When you caught the sound of wings flapping, you turned your head only to be shot down. Falling unwillingly feels different, everything seems to be slower as you watch the sky get higher. You expect your back to hit the deck but you're surprised when you fall cut short and you were now in Moria's palm.

"Damn you, King!" Moria growled and sent a swarm of shadow bats his way.

Just as King finished swiping away the vermin, your ship was carried away by Grand Line's waves. The ship rocked back and forth, rain began to pour, and you would've gotten soaked if Moria hadn't blocked the raindrops with his coat as he hurried the two of you inside.

"Moria, can you put me down?" you requested and pat his hand.

"Of course, my love." Moria set you down.

Instantly, you put your hand against the wall to support yourself while the other grabbed your stomach. You squeeze your eyes shut as you felt pain punch your inside. You could feel blood leak from your stomach and onto your hand.

"Ah..." you mutter out. You wanted to vent further but your head felt too light for you to feel heavy emotions.

"[Y/n]! What happened to you?" Moria asked as he helped you sit down on the ground. "You were fine just moments ago."

"Yeah... I was... I was running on adrenaline," you said between breaths. Once you sat down, you show the arm you used to support yourself against the wall to Moria "I had... open wounds on my arm. I did my best to stop the bleeding but..." The bandages were dripping red and you noticed you were now almost as white as Moria. "And now..." You lift your hand off your stomach, feeling the blood sticking to your fingers. You groan as your energy drains out of you and becomes replaced with agony.

"We need a doctor. I'll go get-" Moria stopped when he realized there was no doctor on the ship.

"It's fine... I'm not going to make it anyway, doctor or not..." you croaked, holding your stomach as blood sprouted from your mouth.

"No! There has to be a way [Y/n]!" Moria refused to believe this was your end. He grabbed your free hand and squeezed it tight. "I'll find a way to make you live, [Y/n]. I swear I will!"

"I have no doubt you will, you're creative," you smile with the remaining strength you had. "That's why... you'll be king... of the pirates."

Moria felt your hand become limp and as he witnessed you slide down against the wall, your eyes now lifeless.

"I swear... I swear I'll find a way to make you come back to life!"
