Who is Left


Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece

Quick Message: There is a lot of cursing in this FanFiction. I blame this partially because I am Australian, and Australians swear A LOT, but yeah. Just letting you know. Please excuse my miserable attempts at humor. Enjoy ~


Prologue: Tiger Eyes


"Eustass, I honestly wouldn't advice that-"

"Shut up!"

"... It's moments like these when I honestly don't know why I bother..."

"Fucking hell! I've barely known you for a day!"

"... And you've already managed to fracture your wrist, gain a nasty gash across the back of your head, and though I have no evidence, I have reason to suspect you have minor brain damage."

"..."

"Hm? What is it, Akachan?"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"


Five hours earlier...

"Oi Killer. When are we getting to the next island?" Kid asked, bored.

The Massacre Soldier looked up, replying, "Rust says about 30 minutes."

Kid grinned, showing traces of bloodlust, "Great."


"Eh, Tora-onee-san? What's that creepy looking ship?" Madi asked her elder sister.

Tōkuoto Tora momentarily looked up from the book she had been reading, and to the ship on the horizon. She blinked a few times.

"It certainly does look quite menacing." Tora agreed, tilting her head, "Looks like those are corpses strung across it- A Pirate Ship?"

Seeing Pirates fresh from 'Paradise' wasn't very common for the people of Tsuki Island, since the island itself didn't usually register on a Log Pose. Though when people did come, it was either by accident or to make a statement. And by the looks of this ship, it seemed to be the latter.

Tora glanced at Madi, "Go warn the villagers, I'll keep our visitors... Occupied." Tora said bitterly.

Tora honestly didn't like killing pirates. For one, it wasn't her job. She was just a Physician. Secondly, she had a sort of 'Mutual-Respect' for pirates. In a way, she admired their bravery to go out into the world.

Tora frowned, flexing her hands. Oh well, she thought, these people aren't any of my concern...

Oh, how wrong she was.


The first thing Eustass Kid thought when he stepped foot on Tsuki Island was "What the hell?". Not only was it dead quiet, and looked almost abandoned, but there was some woman standing in his way.

The way she stood there was so casual it pissed him off; almost as if one of the most feared pirates in 'Paradise' wasn't standing before her. She had a friendly smile beginning to spread across her pale face. She had black, bob-length hair and bright green eyes.

"I don't like you." Kid said bluntly, not realising he was even speaking until he heard the words himself.

"Feeling is mutual, Mister...?" the young woman replied smoothly.

Kid remained silent and stoic.

The Lady sighed, before adding, "That's usually a prompt for one to say their name."

The Kid Pirates blinked in shock. She doesn't know Captain? Meanwhile, Kid's face grew very angry.

"You don't know who I am?" Kid growled, menacingly.

The Woman gave a bored expression, "A man who has to ask that? Obviously not."

Kid marched up to the Lady and grabbed the front of her shirt forcefully, pulling her to eye level.

"Eustass 'Captain' Kid, 315,000,000 beli!" Kid smirked in her face.

The Woman stared blankly, "Oh, I see then. Pleased to make your acquaintance Mister Eustass. Tōkuoto Tora, town Physician, 0 beli." she replied flawlessly, as though she had done this before.

"Great, another damn doctor." Kid glared shoving Tora back to the ground.

Kid mentally raged. Why are all doctors so fucking prissy? And it looks like she's the only person on this goddamn island! Complete waste of time.

Fan-Fucking-Tastic.


Tora on the other hand was thrilled to meet a pirate with a respectable bounty. Though, it was nothing compared to the brutes of the New World, it was acknowledgeable.

... For a rookie.

"So, since you bothered to make the journey, would you like a beverage while I judge whether or not you're a threat to the stability of this island?" Tora smiled sweetly.

In the side of her vision, Tora saw something fast and blonde heading in her direction. She deftly stepped back in time to miss being brutally murdered by a pair of spinning hand scythes.

She tilted her head, "Can I take that as a threat? Or is that simply a common greeting you pirate fellows have?"

Tora examined her attacker; Blonde with long hair, a lanky build... And a really weird mask. Or a helmet?

Tora immediately noticed the tassels on the violent man's pants. She mentally took a note to find out where he obtained such wonderful denim, then subtly coughed and returned to the task at hand.

"... Where is the rest of the town? Tell us, and we might make your death quick." Eustass said darkly, and Tora swore she saw purple sparks fly.

"Maybe later. But I must ask, who is your charming friend who almost cleaved my head off, Mister Eustass?" Tora asked, unfazed.

Kid's upper lip twitched in annoyance.

"Killer." the Blonde man replied. Tora frowned distastefully.

"Now why on earth would your parents name you that? It's almost as bad as 'Kid'." Tora teased.

A dark aura seemed to radiate from Eustass, making Tora give him a quick glance. He glared at her with intense anger.

"Repel!"

Tora ducked, clenching her jaw, as huge collections of metal flew over her and towards Kid. She flexed her hands, waiting for the inevitable attack.

As predicted, the sharp metals flung back towards her. Tora clenched her fists.

"Bend." Tora uttered, simultaneously slackening the tension built up in her arm.

All the metal flying towards her instantly started moving back towards the Kid Pirates.

"Fools. Go back to where you came from." Tora glared.

Kid showed minor shock, but quickly altered the movement of the metal.

So much effort for lil' old me? Tora thought, amused.

Killer appeared behind Tora in a flash, and once again threatened to cleave her head off. Tora ignored the momentary fear and instinctively said:

"Cloak."

Killer's scythe went straight through Tora's head, seemingly, only to shockingly notice the air where she stood before waver, and that the woman had disappeared.

"FUCK!" Kid yelled.


Tora stood, panting, against the wall of her room. She slowly collapsed to the floor.

"Damnit! That ability always drains me like this..." Tora groaned, rubbing her temples.

She slowly got back to her feet, heading towards her desk. The Physician opened up the drawer, looking for her medication. Thereafter, she strolled to the kitchen, and started preparing a cup of coffee.

Tora sat down in her desk chair and waited.


Heat really didn't like hide and seek.

It was a game that required patience, and tolerance, which, like many of the Kid Pirates, he lacked. He reached the conclusion that if he didn't find this chick in the next five minutes, he'd set fire to every house in a 10 mile radius.

He was still raging as he stormed by a Clinic. Heat paused in his tracks, glaring at the house. She did say she was a physician, right?

Heat barged into the house, not even bothering to knock. It's not like the Kid Pirates were known for their manners.

He flung a door open to a kitchen, with the woman calmly having a coffee at the table. Tora casually glanced at him, then smiled.

"Hello, would you like a cup? The kettle should still be boiling, and if it's cooled down, I'm sure we can fix that in a moment." Tora said, standing up and moving over to the kettle even though there had been no reply.

Heat stood where he was, dumbfounded.

"Milk?" she asked, looking over to him.

"... Yes?" Heat replied, still confused.

"Any sugars, hun?" Tora inquired with a lazy smile.

"Just one."

Heat felt very dizzy, and clutched a nearby chair for support.

"Are you okay?" Tora questioned, with concern.

"I feel dizzy." Heat replied without thinking.

Tora nodded, "Yes, that sometimes happens to foreigners, something to do with the pollen a local plant produces. Most of the locals have built up a resistance to it, but it does tend to make the foreigners feel ill for a few hours- Ah, your coffee is ready."

"Thank you." Heat said monotonously, accepting the beverage.

"You're welcome. By the way, what was your name again?" Tora asked, as though he had told her in the first place.

"Oh, I'm-" Heat began.

"Heat, what the hell are you doing?"

Heat jumped slightly, looking back to the door where a very angry Eustass Kid stood.

"M-Master Kid!"

Yes, Heat really hated hide and seek.


"Now now Mister Eustass, don't shout. The pollen is still affecting our Mister Heat here. It's not his fault inhibitions are lowered." Tora frowned, "In fact, I was just giving him a beverage to help clear his mind."

"What." Eustass deadpanned.

Tora sighed. "It's so painful talking to people with lower IQ's. Okay, the plants in this area release a certain pollen with a sedative effect. It only affects about 20% of foreigners, since it doesn't usually release that much, I have been working with the plants out of curiosity, so I have a garden of them downstairs-" Tora explained, sidetracking momentarily, "Actually, it's quite beneficial having such a thing, it helps to calm down the patients; you know the general human population, very skittish when it comes to surrendering themselves to the surgeon's blade-"

"Shut up." Kid glared, cutting her off.

Tora blinked, before nodding.

"Would you like some coffee too?"

"SHUT UP!"

"Master Kid, you should let her. She's not half bad at it..." Heat mumbled deliriously.

Eustass groaned in agitation, then promptly took a seat at the table.

"Good, now that you've accepted my damn beverage, we can talk like mature adults." Tora said, placing the readily made drink in front of Eustass.

Eustass begrudgingly had a sip of the coffee, which was promptly followed by him swallowing thickly and panting erratically.

"Shit! It's hot!" Kid choked out.

Tora blinked, re-seating herself, "Oh yes, do be careful. It's quite warm."

Kid glared at Tora, "What do you want, bitch?"

Tora folded her arms neatly in front of her, leaning forward, "I want you to tell me your intentions."

Kid rolled his eyes, "What do you think? I want every ounce of gold you people have, and then I'm gonna burn this place to the fucking ground."

Tora blew air through her teeth, "Then we may have an issue, Mister Eustass."

"I don't fucking care if you don't like it!" Kid started, rising, "You can't do anything about it either! I bet you couldn't lay a single hand on me!"

"Okay... One, I was objecting because our island is non-profitable. We have a relatively peaceful way of life, in which we only take what we need, not what we want. Thus, we do not have currency or trade. Two, is that a challenge, Akachan?" Tora replied calmly.

"No gol- What the fuck did you call me?" Kid roared.

"Master Kid-" Heat began.

"Shut up Heat!" Kid snapped.

"I called you 'Akachan', and I do believe your avoiding my question." Tora said smugly.

"... You think you can take me, woman?" Kid deadpanned, "You couldn't even touch me if you tried-"

"I don't need to. Displacement." Tora yawned.

A sickening crack cut through the air, following by a shout of surprise and pain from the red haired captain.

"You- What the-!" Eustass started, furious.

"I fractured your wrist. Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I can bind it right away."


"I will kill you."

"Love you too Eustass, dear." Tora said as she finished tying the splint, "Honestly, I could just use my Devil Fruit to fix the break, but I just don't think it's worth it."

"I will rip out your beating heart with my bare hands and shove it down your throat." Eustass glared.

"Just a word of advice, choose another organ, preferably one that I can live without while you shove it down my throat. Then you can do whatever you want with my cardiovascular system. It will be for more traumatizing that way." Tora smiled.

"I hate you."

"Oh for goodness sake Mister Eustass-" Tora began, before being cut off by a booming voice.

"Surrender yourself Tōkuoto Tora. We know all about your illegal experimentation, and we have your sister. Come along quietly and no one gets hurt."

Tora visibly paled. She turned to face the window.

"Madi? Hell, how did they find out-" Tora started, standing up abruptly.

Kid looked at Tora suspiciously, "Experimentation, what-?"

"Tōkuoto Tora. We know all about the 5 years of Human Experimentation prior to your disappearance! Today you shall finally be brought to justice after 10 years on the run!"


A/N: Wow. That was... Mildly unexpected. Goddamnit. I don't even really like Eustass; I guess that must be why it was so fucking easy to write in the arguments XD

This originally had no plot. It still doesn't, really. I have a vague idea of how I want it to finish, but no idea how it'll get there.

I wrote 'Human Experimentation', and promptly screamed "OMG TORA WTF!?" in shock of my own 'plot twist' (Note: I obviously do not know the definition of 'Plot Twist'.). By the way, I intend on adding a fight scene next chapter: so just warning you, I suck at fight scenes.
