It was a dark, cold and rainy night. The rain pouring very hard as a thunder roared through the sky. Everyone where already closed on their houses. Well, everyone except by a person running down the street in a hurry as a thunderbolt broke through the sky, being followed closely by the thunder-clap. The lighting, of said thunderbolt produce, is enough light to be able to see the person its face.

Said guy has uncharacteristic blue hair, all drenched in water, and some bangs on his face. He also has a peculiar big-red nose and heavy make up, although because of the rain, it has started to run down all over his face, creating an ugly mess of colors.

Still running at high-speed with all his power, he turns his head slightly to his right to look over his shoulder and saw he was no longer being followed, making an abrupt stop. He put his hand on his knee as he tries to get the so much-needed air back on his lung.

"Shitty...bastard...who the hell...was him?" He asked between each intake of the much-needed air as he stared ahead of him, praying that, whoever was the person following him, would have stopped by now.

"Oh, me? The last person you will see before your dead," The blue-haired is startled by the cold yet feminine voice from behind him. He takes a sharp deep breath and he twisted himself around to meet face-to-face with the mystery person. He noted than a long black cloak is shielding his entire body from view -and rain- save for his mouth which sported a wide, maniac grin.

"Wh- Who are you?" He manages to ask as he takes a step back gaining a little space between him and the enemy. If it was possible, his foes grin grew bigger as she takes a step closer to him. Seen him getting closer, he decides to take action and activate his mutant power. "Split!" He shouted as his own body starts to break into pieces and all of them, levitating in the air, except for his feet.

She smirked as she watches all the body parts, surround her. In front of her, was the torso along with the head floating in the air. She sighed, as she watches him leave his most important body part wide open for any fatal attack, he shouldn't have done that, she murmurs a quick, "Shigan," And in a swiftly move, she was in front of him, her index finger extended and in a high-speed attack, she trusts her finger to where his heart is supposed to be and heard her prey scream of pain and some of his detached body parts start to fall to the ground.

"How?" Her prey managed to gasp in pain. Speaking was already a painful thing for him to do.

"Who I am?" She repeated, ignoring completely his last question. The blue-haired man coughed as blood started to trickle down from his mouth, some blood getting on her cloak."I'm the Executioner," She responded as on the far away another thunderbolt appear and closely behind the thunder-clap could be heard. With that said, she trusted forward her finger. All sight of life in his eyes disappearing as she stared at the lifeless eyes of her former prey. She retracted her arm as a blood drop fall from her index finger to the ground mixing with the falling rain and watches him -and the rest of his body parts- fall limp on the cold, wet floor with a loud 'thud'.

She sighed and raised her head to the rainy sky, drop of water falling in her face and some on her eyes, although she ignore it. A thunderbolt broke through the sky illuminating the dark, damp street showing a little of her face. Her face is kind of childish, with big rounded eyes and a half-moon scar with two stitches under her left eye.

She hummed to herself and shifted her gaze from the sky to toward the corpse in front of her. She stared at it for a while until she was brought out of her trance as she heard sounds of footsteps coming closer to where she was standing. Yelling of people asking was heard. She sighed, knowing she should start moving before the townsfolk came and saw her beside the corpse. As another thunderbolt appear, she decides to disappear along with its light.

...

A black-haired girl is lying on a big red couch in the living room, as she flips through the channels on the big flat TV screen, looking for anything interesting for her to see.

The room she was in, was fairly large. The walls painted in tan and the floor being covered in a baby blue carpet. Under the TV a metal storage cabinet and beside it a door which lead outside. Another white sofa, with two decorative red cushions on her left side and behind her, another door, that lead to the other rooms in the house.

Dividing the living room from a small library, is a big bookshelf. The library room consists on one big black sofa, with some books on it. At each end of the sofa, one small table with white lamps on it. A decorative small table with some candles and few magazines, two black desks, each one with their respective laptops, chairs and lamps.

On the wall of the back, there were another bookshelf with some decorative vessel, artificial plants and clock with another flat screen TV.

She sighed as she continues to flip through the channels, until it landed on today's news. She was going to change it when on the screen appear a big announcement reading "Breaking News" with the advertiser being a woman wearing formal clothes. She introduces herself and start to speak about the recently new.

"Breaking News, we received a last-minute report saying the famous Buggy know better by his alias 'The clown' and a well know mafia boss was found dead in the East Blue district. The police are currently investigating about this incident and we will give more information about it later. Now, we get back to you, Ma– "

"Dead? Or killed?" A voice stated in the back door. Startled by the newcomer, the black-haired girl turns around to see her comrade leaning on the frame of the door with a knowing smirk on his face. "Right, Luffy?"

The black-haired girl, now know as Luffy, begin to smile after seeing him. "Sabo!" She shouted, excitement and happiness in her voice. She jumped over the couch and give him a big hug. Sabo, happily return the embrace, after all he has missed the little brat. It has been almost four-year since he has left for that mission.

Luffy raises her head to look at him, confuse expression all over her face. "When did you come back? And why didn't you use the front door? How much time will you stay?" She kept asking question after question making Sabo chuckled.

"Whoa, slow down, will ya'," He stated as he manage to get Luffy off of him. "Just now, I didn't use it because I needed to report first and enter from behind and for now I don't know," He responded. But he quickly added after seen Luffy's mood change. "But it will be for a long time before I leave for another mission, after all, I asked some time for myself," Making Luffy grin again and cheers.

"Yey! I can spend more time with Sabo-nii now!" Sabo just chuckled at her act. "You have changed so much, Sabo-nii... you're even more taller now." She comment. She remembers the last time she has seen him, he was more smaller but still taller than her. But now, he was much taller, and he is more well-built and more muscular than before with his chest having more definition. He was wearing a black jacket with the sleeves rolled up, with not shirt under it, showing off his well toned body,a blue knee shorts, a white cravat and short knees pants.

"Look who is talking about, the last time I saw you, you were a little cry baby," He stated, in a teasing tone. Even thought he was teasing her, her friend has indeed changed a lot in the past four-year, she looked more mature and her body has developed more. She has grown slightly taller but is still short beside himself and has let her hair grown, now reaching the mid of her back. She is wearing an open red cardigan, under it a white revealing V-neck sleeveless shirt, with black shorts, along with her famous wooden sandals. "I bet I can still beat you without breaking a sweat."

Luffy stuck her tongue out and crossed her arm at Sabo's comment. "I can beat you, now that I became an Agent," She stated, holding her chin high in the air.

Sabo's eyes widen a little. "Agent?"

Luffy nodded, as he walks to the couch and sit, turning off the TV in the process. "Yeah! The last one died on a mission, didn't know?"

He nodded. "I did know, what I didn't know is that they already have found a replacement, who is actually an assassin too," He stated as he sit down beside her.

"Well I passed the exam and learn few Rokushiki moves– although I later drop out of the training, they said I was strong enough and accept me on their agency. About the assassin part...well only you, the World government and Chief know, so no big deal."

"I wonder what trick you used to pass the exam..." Sabo muttered as he eyed the girl beside him.

"What?"

"Nothing." He waves in dismissing and Luffy give him a confused look. "I still can't believe the government actually approve something Sh–"

"It wasn't a Chief's decision, it was a direct order from the Gorosei."

Sabo gasped, in shock. "What?"

Luffy nodded, as she scratched the back of her head. "I don't understand either, but let said one day I was an assassin and the other, they wanted me to also be part of their agency."

Sabo frowned in thought. "That don't make sense, even for the government."

Luffy only shrugged. "I don't really mind, I can distract myself more and there wasn't a lot target left, and I was kind of short money for meat, so all have come in handy."

Sabo just nodded as he watches her.'Short of targets? Something is fishy here.' Sabo thought as he gazed at Luffy. He later decides to try something. "If there aren't many targets, why don't quit being an assassin? It's been, how much? Like ten years already, don't you think it's time to move on."

Luffy shook her head. "I need the money."

"If is about money, I can lend to you, I don't really mind."

Luffy seems to considerate this, and shifted her gaze to the floor.

"Besides, don't you plan in settling down, find a guy a start a family?"Luffy visibly flinched at the mention of family, she don't like this conversation. The flinch didn't go unnoticed by Sabo.

"Or you plan to work for the rest of your life for the government?"

'Something like that,' Luffy wished to say but instead shook her head.

Sabo sighed, he knew he wouldn't get any more answer from her and she was obviously uncomfortable about the topic. He shouldn't have asked all that."Sorry, Luffy...I'm just kind of tired and I'm just talking shit, so far–"

"What about you?"

Startled by the question, Sabo turns around to see Luffy. "What about me?"

Luffy nodded. "Yeah, you should retire. You have worked for the government double the time that me, why not retired?"

Sabo sighed. "I've thought for a while, and decide that I'm going to retire, when I finish this ongoing mission. After all, I'm tired of the government's shit." Luffy chuckled and nodded. "Oh yeah, almost forgot," Sabo started to look in his jacket inside pockets. "Aja! Here," He handed to Luffy a small black box. "Look what I send to make, especially for you." Luffy stares it with curiosity. "Come on open it, I know you would love it!"

Following his order, Luffy carefully opens it to show a necklace and she instantly loves it. It is a pirate necklace, like the one she always wants it. It consist on a metal yellow straw hat with a red ribbon on it, an anchor, helm, her name written on a metal plaque and –what she likes most, a skull grinning wearing a straw hat.

"I love it~" Luffy exclaimed as she jumped to Sabo to embrace him. He only laughed and gives her a soft smile. "Thank you Sabo-nii!"

"No problem."

Luffy was going to sit back again when she noted than Sabo was wearing a necklace too, but unlike her, Sabo's one only have an anchor. "You got one too!"

Sabo nodded. "Yeah, I kind of like it," Luffy grinned more.

Sabo chucked and his gaze landed on the clock above the TV which read 21:53. "Time sure fly, we should head to our bed, something tells me tomorrow will be a difficult day," He stood up and stretch himself, some bone cracked from being a lot of time sitting. He starts to head to his room, followed closely by a happily Luffy.

"Oi, Luffy wake up!"

Luffy heard some call her, and felt someone shaking her, she lazily, sit on her bed and rub her eyes trying to pry off her sleep. As she looks closer to whom has woken her up. She found out, is no other than, Sabo.

"What is wrong?" Luffy asked, still a bit sleepy.

"Get ready, we got a mission."
