A/N: There are more people who like this story instead of 'The Executioner'...too bad, I like that one more than this one. BUT I'll not stop this story for any cost!

Also forgive me for the short chapter once again, I hate them myself but I'm still thinking where this story is going since I'm debating with myself which plot to follow, so until then, the chapters are going to be short. Very short, I would say.

Almost forgot, there is a lot foreshadow on this chapter so read carefully. Onward with the chapter.


-10:00am- Luffy's room.

.

..

...

"What?!" asked the astonished man from the other side of the phone.

"Lucci's my boyfriend."

"I heard you perfectly! What the fuck happened yesterday!?"

Luffy rolled her eyes at her best friend's reaction, even though she wasn't seeing him, she could guess his expression. His name is Roronoa Zoro and is also her right hand or like she prefer to call it, her first mate. They were very close, to the point she considers him as her big brother. He, unlike her, is a junior and a swordsman.

Sometimes, she spars with him to test their skill together and to see who is more powerful of the two, who most of the time she came out winning. She knew him since childhood and was surprised to have met him again in high school. They spend a lot of time together, much to Sanji's annoyance, and there were even some rumor suggesting they were in a relationship. She snorted. Her with Zoro, she found that something impossible to believe.

"It just happens."

"It just happens?! Came with a better comeback!"

"Okay."

"Don't 'okay' me! Do you know what kind of person he is!?"

"Yes," she replied, flatly. "Well, maybe. I know what you know, so is the same." As she said that, she rolled on her bed so now she was lying on her back, staring at the white room's ceiling, who was decorated with pirates and gangs poster and marks.

She heard him curse and say some not intelligent words under his breath, he later tried to calm himself down. He sighed. "What about the others?"

"I'll tell them in today lunch break."

She heard him sigh again.

"Luffy, you know I care about you a lot," she nodded even thought she knew he wouldn't see her. "You know better than I do that there is nothing about him not even a little piece of information nor where do he came from."

She knew this. Because of her position in the family, she has the authorization along with her gang, to all the secret information about the World Government and also people's information. Since her dad tends to bring the most efficient hackers and tend to enter the World Government secret archive to be up to date with the government's movement, she was also up to date.

She came from the infamous rich family, Monkey. They are also well know in the underworld, meaning she is targeted a lot. Also, she is the heir of the gang and the corporation. To add more, she has the middle initial D., also know as the Will of D. Although, she doesn't know what it stands for or mean, she knows people fear it a lot for an unknown reason. There is a saying among people that say: "Whenever there is a D. it only means trouble.".

Because of this, a group of people called Shichibukai under the direct order of an unknown organization is after her. Some new information point out there is a new project in process for the same mysterious organization but there is little information about it. The only thing they know is that they are trained and are professional assassins. His father, along with her gang, thinks that Lucci is involved in the new organization since there isn't much information about him. Making him a perfect candidate for it. She, of course, opposed to the idea.

"He isn't that bad when you meet him. He took me to the movie and even invite me to eat. He's very kind and generous too."

"You know from experience those people like him are the perfect candidate to serve under them."

Luffy sighed. "But I love him and you know it."

There was a long silence on the line when Zoro speaks up in a smooth voice that only he used with her. "I know. But there is the risk of it and I only want the best for you, Lu."

She flinched visibly by the nickname, although her friends didn't see it. It reminds her of him. After all, those were the same words he had said after his betrayal.

"I...you know I can take care of myself." She snapped at him, more harshly that she intended.

He sighed. "I know, but remember when you said the exact words at that time? You almost died, it was a miracle you're alive and awake! The doctor even said there was a slight possibility you weren't coming back from the coma."

She growled, knowing well he was right. It's a miracle she survives the fight with the Shichibukai known as Crocodile. He manages to beat her two times and both were close to dead. If it wasn't for her luck, in the third round she would die and even thought she won, she was left in a coma afterward.

"That's the past. Now I'm much stronger than before."

"It only has passed less than a year, and you know he was one of the weakest of the group."

"I'm stronger now!"

"You aren't going to have the same luck as that time, Luffy! Stop being a little girl and grow up! Listen to me, what if he works for them?! And he is only using you to lower your guard around him and when you least expect it, we found you dead. Use your mind, damn it."

"..."

"...I'm sorry. I shouldn't s—"

"You are right."

"...eh?"

"I'll be more careful."

"...Are you really going to be more careful? Just this time?"

"I will."

"...What will happen if what I said is true?"

"I'll kill him."
