There is something so sexy about Cora wearing dog-tags.
Mmm Cora loosing his memory in the snow trope, only the dogtags to identify him, and all they say is 'Rosi', a series of numbers and a marine base on the back.
That's where he goes once he wakes up, and this time, he really can't talk. The bullets did a number on his lungs, windpipe, and everything else. It's a miracle he is alive.
Rosi wonders without a clue, clumsy as ever. Chancing on a village, getting cleaned up, and getting some much needed treatment. When he wakes up, he is reported to the marines.
He is taken to the main marine headquarters.
Where he has a chance meeting with a certain red head, who is there to talk to the elders. Shanks informing them that the key to the one piece, joy boys fruit is now out of circulation, and if they try anything without Luffy confronting them directly, he will stop them but thats not here or there.
Shanks, tired, hald addled from bloodloss at loosing his arm only a few days ago. Not paying attention where he is going, bumps into Rosi.
Rosi tries to help, only to hit his head on the low ceiling and falll, pulling Shanks with him. Trying to apologies but it doesnt work, trying to untangle only to get his hands caught in Shanks' coat.
Shanks telling him to calm down, and untangling. He gets a look of Cora and smirks. "You are way to cute to be a marine" He flicks the bullet pierced dog tags. "Rosi, huh?" He makes no move to get up.
Rosi blushes, taking out the notepad where he pre-wrote his situation. He also added that he has a feeling he is looking for someone. All he has is a feeling that its a kid, his kid. He has a name, but thats it.
Shanks nodding as he reads. "I got a ship, I can help you look." Shanks not passing up to have the cute blonde join his crew, even for a little while xd
Rosi is hesitant at joining a pirate crew but feels like this is his best chance to find out more about his lost memories. The marines no longer feel like the right place for him. So he joins the red haired pirates.
Re-learning sign language while on the ship, sitting with Shanks, listening to the mans stories, about Luffy, the world.
Them getting closer as they travel. Rosi gets a little discouraged that there is no sign of Law or his memories coming back. He decides there is little chance he will every get his old life back, so he settles living with Shanks, joining the crew officially.
It is a decade and some before he gets a snippet of information.
Shanks keeping an eye out on Luffy, and crosses across an article that mentions a Trafalgar Law. His eyes widen and he goes to get Cora,
Shanks for the first time in a while calling up Luffy for the info.
Luffy just going, oh yeah, "Traffy! He's cool!" Then probably yelling to Law since they traveling together, the news hits Shanks right around Punk hazard
Law taking the receiver, cautious about wtf an emperor wants from him.
Shanks throwing the snail at Rosi who fumblees with it before catching it. His voice isnt sure. "Law?"
Law freezes and then hangs the fuck up. Its obviously a trap, Cora in his mind is dead.
Rosi crying and not sure why, his memories not back yet. Shanks hugging and comforting him. They were headed in the direction of the strawhats anyway, since he heard it on the wind that they were headed to take down Kaido. He pushed the ship faster to meet the kids.
Mmmm them meeting up in Dressrosa. Shanks just catchhing up with Luffy. Law not there, he is focused on revenge soemwhere else. The bird cage seperating the kids from CoraShanks until after Dressrosa.
Rosi is a mess, Shanks has a decision fo make of getting involved directly and hurt Luffy's growth, or dissapoint Rosi, who he very much loves.
Luffy runs off before he can decide.
Shanks calls up the kid and tells him to bring Law to a spot where the cage is weakest. Luffy goes sure whatever. They are running around town anyway
Law still thinks its a trap, even if he sees Cora with his own two eyes. Some trick of Doffy's, for sure
Rosi, even without his memories knows this is the kid he was looking for but has no way to prove it.
Shanks is about to cut down the birdcage using Haki. Luffy yells at him to not get involved, he's beating Mingo for Traffy!
Rosi' eyes unfocus on the birdcage, he doubles over in pain. Law, despite himself, is worried, fake or not. They still look like Cora, albeit older and less stressed. Law telling Shanks to get him the fuck out of there and that this is their business.
Shanks not sure he should leave their kids alone but also seeing how much pain Rosi is in just by being there. He grumbles and decides to leave, it is Luffy's battle and he did promise not to interfere in the kids quest for the one piece.
They leave back to the ship. Rosi goes into a deep sleep as the memories hit him. Shanks is by his side, holding the blondes hand. Afraid to lose the man he caught feelings for.
Rosi is out all of Dressrosa, and wakes up only when Doffy is all beat up.
Luffy immediately drags Law to Shanks' ship when they both wake. There is a whole teary eyed reunion for Cora&Law.
Shanks smiling as he has never seen the man just that happy, and well, its kinda funny that Rosi's 'kid' is the one who saved Luffy during the whole marineford situation. He only finds out later, and takes note to call Buggy and gets on his case for not mentioning Law. His old friend should have known to do it. That way he could have made Rosi happier sooner!
