Endure ~ One Piece x Reader pt1

 

     So this was it… You look up at the massive school. “You sure yer gonna be alright?” The man that had brought you asks. “There’s not a town for miles.”
        “I’ll be fine, thanks for taking me this far.” You wave. He just nods and drives away. You watch the old pick up truck disappear over one of the valley’s hill before returning your gaze to the school. It had taken you several days to hitchhike to this secluded school from three states away. You were relieved to finally be standing before it, but not relaxed.
          After all, Golden Academy is a school for assassins in training. “Opening day…” You mutter starting into the courtyard where a surprisingly large group of students waited in front of a small stage.
          “What the hell is taking so long?!” A red haired guy demands.
           “They’re probably making us wait because you cant keep your mouth shut,” A tan raven haired guy mutters.
            “You got a problem with me?” The red head growls.
            “Can’t we make it through orientation peacefully?” Coaxes a blond with a scar over his left eye.
            “You stay outta this scarface!” The red head snaps. You sigh and step in the middle of all three.
             “The sky looks nice out here huh?” You comment loudly, making them pause in surprise and confusion before looking at the sky.
         “Indeed it does,” A voice rumbles behind you. He wasn’t there a moment ago. You look back as the golden eyed man keeps his gaze to the sky. “Interesting tactic by the way… And I was only waiting for the four house leaders to show themselves.” His gaze slides down, moving over you four.
         “Us?” The blond tilts his head.
          “Yes. Now, follow me.” The man requests, moving onto the stage. The other three hesitate before following him, you hang near the back warily. “Step forward and name your house.” He instructs. The four of you share a look.
         “Ladies first.” The Blond murmurs. You frown briefly before stepping forward.
          “___ ___, House of Shadow.” You proclaim. The red head steps beside you, red eyes sliding over the others.
         “Eustass Kid, House of Blood.” He states. The Blond steps on your other side.
          “Sabo, House of Fire.” He rumbles with a small smile.
          “Trafalgar Law, House of Death.” The raven haired guy steps up to Sabo's other side.
         “Damn… That’s a good one.” You mutter.
         “Pick your House.” The man orders the remaining students. Four lines build up in front of you and the other leaders.
          “That’s different…” You mutter.
          “Having them follow us of their own… So we’ll feel more responsible when we fail as leaders.” Sabo breathes.
         “If they fail it’s on them.” Kid scoffs.
         “They fail and they die.” Law states. You look between them briefly.
         “If they fail because of our weakness, then we still fail. Weaknesses in this work means death.” You point out.
         “Dinner begins at seven, I wish the leaders present five minutes prior. Leaders, choose your house quarters.” The golden eyed man turns to leave.
          “Hold up. Who are you?” Kid speaks up.
          “I am your vice principal and your stalking instructor, Dracule Mihawk, more commonly known as Hawkeyes.” The man states before leaving. You and a few others straighten at that.
          “Who…?” Kid mutters.
          “A top assassin. He once killed a whole SEAL team.” You state before looking between two buildings that had two pairs of blank banners hanging on them. “These two buildings must be the dorms, must be separated in the middle…. I’ll  take this one.” You point before starting for it the other three exchange a look before separating to their own houses.
       “Excuse me uh… Leader?” A male voice makes you pause and look back. “Hi, I’m the sharpshooter pro, Usopp!” The long nosed guy gives a smile.
       “…. Hi.” You respond.
       “Not much of a talker are you?” He guesses.
      “Just, bad with conversation…” You mutter looking up at the building before entering it.
      “Leader, what room will you pick?” Another voice makes you look over at a cute dark haired guy with a scar under his left eye. You pause, raising your phone and taking a picture of him. “Hm?”
       “This room over here, this wall separates us from another house.” You touch the wall before taking a room that looked over the valley opposite of the buildings. “This one.” You decide.
        “Alright! We’ll be roommates then!” The guy chimes, flopping onto a bed. You raise an eyebrow at him. He didn’t seem like the assassin type.
         “Um… Okay…” You shrug, placing your bag on your bed and taking out your weapon, a gold fighting pole with beautiful engravings in it. It was a gift from a red haired assassin you had met before your journey here.
          “That’s pretty… Im Luffy by the way,” Your roommate says cheerfully.
          “Nice to meet you.” You peer at him before going out again. You peer around at your followers, finding that a majority of the women had joined your house, along with some odd males. None seemed particularly dangerous. You leave the building and find the other house leaders come out as well. It appeared that Sabo and Kid took the building across from yours and Law’s.
         You sigh quietly as the four of you move to the center of the campus, under the cafeteria that was suspended in the air by four steel pillars.
        “Looks like we all had the same idea.” Sabo comments.
        “… Sure…” You mutter.
       “Let’s see which one of us is the strongest- What are you doing…?” Kid frowns at you as the other two look at you. Glancing up, you lower your phone after taking their pictures.
         “Nothing…” You hum putting your phone in your pocket.
         “Anyway, shall we begin?” Law inquires drawing his nodachi.
         “Alright, get ready.” Kid growls, touching his metallic gloves together. You catch the distinct sound of electricity from the connection.  
          “No hard feelings.” Sabo smiles, twirling his own silver plated pipe.
