Author's Note :)

So after watching the Alabasta Arc and the Fishman Island Arc, I thought that eventually there would be an Arc about the Ancient Weapons. So I decided to make my own fanfiction and write about how I think it will happen.

Anyways, this is after Dressrosa and I'll be adding other adventures instead of getting to the point and ending my story so quickly.

So this is my first time posting so ENJOY :) Review~

Giggling. High-pitched giggling was ringing in my ears.

I sat up, sloppily, and opened my eyes to a blinding white area. It was hard to tell if there was a ceiling or any walls. The whiteness just seemed to stretch for miles and miles.

The high-pitched giggle echoed through the "room" again. I looked around the place but no one was around. It was eerie and it became silent once more.

I thought I was imagining things and was ready to dismiss whatever it was but then the giggling echoed again. I turned around and there were two girls smiling at me.

They were almost identical with the exception of their hair color. They both wore a white dress that reached up to their knees and were barefoot. Their eyes were covered by their bangs and one of them was smiling shyly while the other gave me a large toothy grin.

Before I could question them, they both giggled and slapped my cheeks together yelling,"time to wake up!"

My eyes shot open again and my body jolted simultaneously. I opened my eyes slowly and everything was a big blur. I inhaled deeply and then exhaled. It took me a few seconds before I realized that I was in a tank full of water, naked, and there was a mask around my nose and mouth and needles in my skin.

I glanced around and I was in a large room with people in white lab coats and face masks. There were machines with tubes sprawling out of them and papers all around the room.

"Jubrahshi!" I heard. (Subarashi) Some guy with light purple, pink hair and some kind of leather mask sprawled all over his face pushed all the guys in lab coats, most likely scientists, out of his way. He put his hands on the glass and I felt a chill run up and down my spine.

His maniacal eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets as he stared at me. Pervert.

Suddenly there was an explosion and the floor shook. The man turned around and then started yelling at the scientists causing them to run around the room like headless chickens, carrying hundreds of papers in their hands. They dumped the papers into one pile and then there was a second explosion.

Soldiers carrying guns rushed into the room and the light purple, pink haired man grew furious. He hit one of them in the head and started screaming at them. "Fwat fwa bell gu you bink vwour voing?!" (What the hell do you think you're doing)

Then a scientist went up to the group and pointed at me. All of them just glanced at me and the pink haired man smacked the scientist's head and yelled at him.

There was a loud gurgle and then the water in the tank started to drain. As the water began to disappear, I could feel myself getting heavy and once all the water was gone, I dropped to the floor and laid there motionless.

Everything became easier to hear. Panic was echoing all over the room and big and small explosions kept going off.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" yelled the pink haired man. "I told you to get her out of there!"

"Y-yes Spandam-sama," the scientist stuttered before quickly running to me and began to pry open the tank.

The door to the room exploded open and a man in a navy coat, black top hat, and a mask rushed in, taking out all the soldiers with a metal pipe. Spandam quickly took a canister full of oil and poured it on the pile of papers.

"Seems like you're already too late," Spandam sneered. He lit a match and threw it into the pile.

The masked man ran as fast as he could and managed to snatch a handful of paper before everything went up in flames. Some of the papers were intact and some were slightly singed or half burnt.

"I'm going to need that back," Spandam snapped.

"Then try and take it," the masked man smirked as he tucked the papers inside his coat.

Just as Spandam was about to unsheathe the sword by his waist, the masked man whacked him on the head and kicked him, which sent him flying into a machine. The fight was finished and Spandam didn't even make a move.

There was another rumble and then pieces of the ceiling started to fall down. Little at first but then the pieces got bigger by the second.

"Shit, I overdid it again," the masked man mumbled. He looked over at me and then cocked his head to the side slightly.

He started walking towards me and I could feel myself slightly shaking. He was dangerous and I was completely defenseless. I was too weak to move and I was going to most likely die.

Thank god for the two-inch glass that's between-

The sound of some glass shattering and some fragments of it hitting the floor interrupted my thoughts. His metal pipe made contact with the glass at full force one more time before it shattered completely.

And there goes the glass.

I squeezed my eyes shut and shuddered. I was absolutely terrified. Was he going to kill me instantly? Hopefully the kill will be painless. Or was he some psychopathic killer that likes to dismember his victims? What if he's some kind of sadistic monster that tortures his victims?!

I felt fabric cover my body and I flinched. I opened my eyes and the man's coat was wrapped around me. He tried to take off the mask around my face and I glared at him causing him to stop midway.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you," the man said softly. He tried to reach for the mask again but this time I actually managed to move. He sighed and then rested his chin on his hand. "Let's make a deal then. If I take off my mask, I get to take off yours."

I remained glaring at him. Did he think I was stupid? Even if he did take off his mask, what difference would it make? It's not like I could fight back since I could barely move.

"You know… it's not like you have much of a choice," he said.

I could feel him smirking at how helpless I was under that mask of his.

"I'm trying to help you."

He took off his mask and I could see that stupid grin of his. He looked mature and a little bit intimidating with the scar that ran down the left side of his face but he still reminded me of a child with that grin. His hand touched the mask on my face and then pulled it off.

The smell of smoke hit me almost immediately. It was unusual not inhaling fresh oxygen and instead, inhaling the smell of gasoline, smoke, and sweat.

Suddenly a large chunk of the ceiling collapsed next to us and the man quickly put his mask on and swooped me up, bridal style. He started running out of the room and into the collapse-in-progress hallways filled with smoke. Soldiers often pursued us but he managed to take them out without using his hands.

After a few minutes, there was a light at the end of the hallway. Once we were out of the smoke and soldier infested hallway, my eyes widened in marvel. I thought that whatever facility I was in was underground but I guess I was wrong. From where the man and I were, you could see everything. There was a forest filled with different shades of green in front of us and a port full of battleships with the word MARINE on the sails. The ocean stretched to the horizon and glimmered. The sky was barely covered by white puffy clouds and seagulls flew around. This sight was probably nothing and not as spectacular to others but after being trapped in that tank for who knows how long, everything I saw seemed like it was my first time laying eyes on it.

I could feel tears creeping out of my eyes for some reason and then gravity doing the rest to make it slide down my cheek. I could hear the man chuckling softly and then tightening his grip around me.

Suddenly, he jumped off of the platform we were on and I could feel my heart freeze. I was trying to scream but nothing came out and my vision blurred from my tears that were now sliding up my forehead. We were falling from a hundred-foot high platform without any warning.

"Yosh!" he exclaimed once he landed gracefully on his feet.

It wasn't long until the soldiers caught up to us and sirens started blaring from nearby speakers. The soldiers were able to surround us and they began to charge at us. The man was able to dodge most of the attacks and take down anyone who got too close, but as more soldiers began to attack, the man's movements seemed to slow down.

He quickly dropped me on the ground and then attacked the soldiers swiftly. I stared at his movements as he continued to take down the soldiers.

Why didn't he just leave me? It's not like he knows who I am. I'm a burden to him so why was he trying to protect me?

Another crowd formed around the man, solely attacking him, and they managed to get a little distance from where I was. Then a soldier who's face was covered by a cap that had the word MARINE on it walked up to me. He had a white cloak that reached up to his ankles and he was smirking. He took out his sword and tried taking a swing at me.

But instead of it hitting me, it clashed with the man's metal pipe. "Che! It's low attacking the innocent bystander."

The soldier smirked and then let out a battle cry before swinging again. But instead of the man defending again, some other guy came in and blocked the swing. He wore a dark green coat, that reached to his shins, with a red sash around his waist that held three scabbards.

"Oi, oi. I thought you said you could get in and out within ten minutes," the stranger said with a smile before cutting down his opponents.

The man with the mask chuckled and said, "Gomen. I bumped into some… obstacles."

"Che, you go on ahead. I'll finish these small fries and catch up with you later," the greenette said through his teeth clenching onto one of his swords.

"Are you sure you won't get lost?"

"Urusai!" he snapped as he dodged and then attacked the next handful of soldiers.

The masked man picked me up again and dashed into the forest. He kept turning at corners of trees and then finally started running straight ahead. After a few minutes, the greenette from before caught up to us.

"Hayai.. I'm more surprised at the fact that you didn't get lost," the man said.

"Urusai!" the greenette snapped again. "This way!"

He started curving to the right and then the man carrying me kicked him while yelling, "Aho! Follow me!"

Both of them kept running until there was a clear path. We stopped at a cliff and there was a ship with some kind of sunflower head on it about a few hundred feet away. Unusual.

But the most unusual thing was that there was a hand flying over to us. I thought I was imagining it at first but then the greenette's expression turned horrified as the hand seemed to get closer.

"O-oi, s-sonna-," the greenette stuttered as the hand wrapped around his and the masked man's waist.

We were then flying mid-air at incredible speed and then crashing into the ship, the greenette's head-first. When we landed on the deck, the masked man and the greenette shot up and grabbed a guy wearing a straw hat by the collar and started shaking him. They were glaring fiercely and the man took off his mask again and hit him on the head.

"Luffy, baka! Are you trying to kill me?!" the greenette and the other man snapped at the same time.

"Warui~" the straw-hatted guy said with an abnormally wide grin.

I watched the greenette and former masked man continue to yell at the straw-hatted man, Luffy. Clearly their complaints weren't getting them anywhere. It was quite funny to watch especially when the greenette was about to throw Luffy overboard but was held back.

"Ne~ Sabo… Who's she?" Luffy asked while poking my cheek consistently.

I felt my eye twitch as he continued to poke my face as if I were a piece of meat and repeating the word "ne" a million times. I instantly felt sympathy for the greenette after realizing how infuriating his antics can be.

Sabo, the former masked man, pushed Luffy aside with an irritated look on his face and picked me up, bridal style. "I'm taking her to Chopper. She might be hurt from inhaling too much smoke and she's been heavily sedated."

Before Luffy could respond, Sabo already started to walk away. He opened a door and I caught a glimpse of Luffy's face before the door closed behind Sabo. He was grinning ear to ear like a child and I couldn't help but feel… warm.

It was a mystery. He looked so happy and welcoming even though I was a complete stranger. I know he didn't say anything... well at least nothing pertinent, but I felt accepted just by looking at his smile. He didn't judge by his eyes and that was rare in this world.

But little did I know, that was not where the mysteries end.

Woot Woot! Finally finished! :) Review and Fave it
