Preface

The gun shot could be heard echoing within the warehouse and outside a few radius's, bringing everything and everyone to a sudden halt. Then a chilling scream pierced the awkward silence, sending everything into a sudden free fall.

"Luffy!..." Nami started to run to the man, as he started to sway backwards and collapse onto his knees with a thud. She skidded to a stop, and moves to sit in front of him; she noticed a small red dot on his shirt that was close to his chest get bigger as blood seeped out from his wound. "Luffy look at me… I am here…" Nami spoke softly.

She slowly lifted Luffy's head up to stare him in the face. When Luffy's eyes met Nami's he blinked a couple times as if he were confused, then gave a genuine smile. Leaning forward Luffy brought Nami close to him and whispered in her ear; "Nami…. Run!"

Confused Nami turned to look at him, when she did it was not Luffy's face staring back at her; but her worst nightmare come to life. Nami's eyes became wide as her body started to shake, before a scream could move past her lips she was grabbed by the throat and slammed down into the hard concrete floor. A searing pain prickled through her head, this gave a distraction from the squeezing at her throat causing Nami to choke because of the lack of oxygen her lungs were desperately needing, since her windpipe was being closed off.

Nami was slowly blacking out, she could hear maniacal laughter all around her, tears rolled down her face, she clawed at the hands around her throat, kicking about and her last thought before the darkness consumed her was…. "Why?"


Alright so this is a little short preview into the story but trust me there is going to be a lot of twists and turns and feels… and also possibly mature content and language. Until next time then! ^_^
