I would just like to thank Fey Croix for being the first person to review! Totally made my day when I saw it!
I can only hope that you'll be satisfied with this as well, along with many others!
So without further ado, I give you the next series of events to come!
The voices on my way to the villa caught my attention. Jumping off the trail for a moment I made my way into the tall trees above. Trapesing across the branches with ease I made my way closer to the unknown voices. Stepping on to a tree closest to them. I shimmed my way stealthily to the branch closest to them. Taking a deep breath, I muttered the word dance. One foot on the branch and the other on air. Slightly thankful for the ability that I stumbled across over a year ago from a traveling pirate. Keeping myself in the foliage of the tree I knew that I wouldn't be seen. I then proceeded to do my act of spying on the mysterious people below me.
I recognized two of them instantly. The bear, Bepo, and the guy with the weird hat. A slight smile crept on my face as I watched the bear with his crew mates. They were with a large man, okay enormous, he had to be part giant. Another had a hat on his head, and large letters spelling PENGUIN. The other one had dark brown hair and seemed to be the only regular looking one as he wore normal clothes instead of the orange jumpsuit. They seemed to be in a discussion about a missing companion of theirs. Crouching down into the thicker foliage I closed my eyes and listened to them.
"We've been missing Caleb-ya for some time now." That was the guy from earlier.
"Damn it, I knew I should have gone with him and Sachi to the store." No clue which one that was but he was pretty angry.
"Yes, but what I gathered from the town we need to retrieve him fast. People don't survive long up there I guess." That one was right. Patty never kept people alive for too long, something about his boss.
"Then we should get moving now." Bepo's voice went up a couple octaves showing he was scared. "Captain?"
Keeping my eyes shut, I willed my ears to listen as the other man whispered something. It was only one word and I couldn't pick up what he had said. The other men around him went deathly silent as he said it, another command came from him that I also didn't hear. A slight breeze went through the canopy where I was. Not paying any attention to I chalked it up to the drop in pressure from earlier. Good, we needed rain soon. The town was going to dry up with the draught that was going on. Alec would do something stupid again, and I'd have to take care of him. Not something I wanted to do again, especially after the last time.
"How long are you going to stay like that?"
My eyes snapped open at the words that were spoken right in front of me. Looking up I saw the man from before looking down at me with a smirk. Jumping up from my crouched position I propelled myself backwards, keeping the five of them in my sights as I put the much-needed distance between us. Looking around the group the only one that looked dangerous was the man Alec was foolish enough to fight. (As tall as the giant man was, I knew I could take him down like that panther if need be.) That idiot was barely able to use that damn ability and took on a man who appeared to be in excellent health. Standing up I looked at them calmly, but my eyes rested on the man who seemed to be in charge. Going out on a limb I'll also say that he was the one who teleported me down here. Using some kind of ability, most likely a devil fruit. If his sickening smirk didn't sicken me, I'd try to fond out what he could do.
"Who are you?" I asked in an even tone, even though his stare was starting to annoy me. The smirk on his face seemed to grown more, making him seem more devilish to me. His arrogance was almost suffocating even from the new found distance I put between me and the five in front of me. I wanted nothing more than to snuff it out with my fist. Although it wouldn't get me far I supposed. I was typically against violence with someone that I had just met, but I can see us butting heads.
"You don't know who I am?" Frowning at him I shook my head. He crossed his arms over his chest. I took in the tattoos he bore as I mimicked him as I did the same. Another breeze came by only this time it seemed to caress my bare legs, my shorts only came to about mid thigh. I didn't think much of it until it did the same around my spaghetti strapped tank top. I narrowed my eyes and looked around. I wasn't in the mood for one of these senseless games, I sure as well wasn't going to part take in it either. "I am Trafalgar Law, Captain of the Heart Pirates. You are?"
I followed the breeze as it came from my right. The same direction of the villa once you got around the bend up ahead. He knew we were on the path, well there went my element of surprise. This was going to be tougher than I thought it was going to be. Sighing to myself, I lightly leaned my head into my right hand. I wasn't going to get out of this without a headache. Taking a couple steps forward, the men parted so I could walk through them.
"If you want your friend back alive I suggest you come now. Patty seems to know that we are already here. It would be a waste of a trip on your end if he were to die." Lifting my right hand up to them as I walked in front of them, signalling them to follow. I could hear them whispering behind me as we walked forward. I didn't care much to listen to what they were saying, but rather checking to see if the breeze was changing at all. Walking around the bend I saw a figure up ahead, narrowing my eyes I strained them to see who it was. Vibrant red, and purple streaked hair was what I saw first. This was where the headache was going to come from, I knew it.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the town hero Ana-chan." Blue painted lips pulled back to reveal sharp, white teeth. I frowned heavily as I looked at the clown in front of me. Yup, my head was starting to hurt already, I lifted my forefingers to my temples rubbing them soothingly. Why was everyone on this damn island either stupid or annoying. Actually everyone in this damn castle was a combination of the two.
Bobby was Patty's second in command. The clown like bandit seemed to not really fit in with the pirates that actually ran the villa. His obnoxious neon green jumpsuit made the orange ones behind me stylish. His narrow beady eyes seemed to light up when he saw them. No doubt he would want to try out the color himself. Running my hands over my face I tried not to sigh as we ran into this imbecile. The devil fruit he ate gave him the ability to turn objects into ammunition. It could be potentially a dangerous fruit, but this guy put it to shame. I normally would entertain this guy gimmicks, but I wasn't in the mood today. Not after what Patty had done to the town folks. The damage was fixable, but there were lives lost. So his would repent for theirs.
"Move it Bobby, I need to see Patty." The annoyance was coming off me now. First that panther, just had to pick me for lunch, then Alec had to be stupid. Now I had to deal with one of the stupidest people I knew. Since there was a long list of stupid people I knew, he was especially stupid. I rolled my eyes at his pained expression. "If you don't move I'll kill you this time."
He dropped the fake expression, and wore a real serious one. Looking from me to the men, and bear, behind me he looked confused. "Is this your crew?"
Slapping my hand over my face, I barely felt the sting of it at his stupid question. No matter how many times I told these idiots I didn't belong to a crew of any sort they still asked me every time they saw me. Seeming to forget each and every time was quite an accomplishment somewhere I swear.
"No Bobby, their not. I don't have a crew remember?" I kept my voice calm as I tried to think of a way to either kill him or subdue him. Killing was so much easier, but I didn't want more blood on my hands than nessecary.
"So then are they your friends?" This idiot was asking to many questions, wasting my time. He was either a real class A idiot, or he was stalling us so we couldn't get to Patty. My eye were practically slits as I regarded the stupid man. "Come on Ana-chan you never travel with people. You only ever talk to like three people in town and sleep in the forest at night. I'm just curious."
Oh, he was stalling alright. This bastard only ever really cared about himself and his 'show'. Placing a hand on my hip, I drew circles in the air with the other. "Dance." His feet suddenly left the ground, and the clown started screaming in fear. A smirk made its way onto my lips as I moved him in different directions and upside down. "So, tell me what Patty is doing that made you come down here and distract me?"
"You will address him as the Young Lord! And I will never tell you!" Crossing his arms over his chest and looking away my patients snapped. I didn't have time for this, Patty was obliviously up to something and I was going to stop it. The breeze picked up again and Bobby stopped and looked in the direction of the villa. Well that decided it. Stepping to the side, I dodged a small bullet as it embedded itself into the ground my left foot had been on just a moment ago. Glaring at the dumb clown he gave me a sheepish smile like he hadn't been trying to injure me.
Looking at him gave me time to realize the shadows around me. Moving my head left, then right two more flying bullets went flying elsewhere. Gracefully moving to my left I turned so a larger one would almost collide with the clown who turned it back into a rock. At least he wasn't stupid enough to harm himself, but as I let another slip by me I realized he was. The new hole in his right shoulder was a reminder of how stupid the people I was working with were. It was a little suprising that he wasn't going to try and escape from this somehow, or do something incredibly stupid. I placed my money on option two.
"Good-bye Bobby." I walked to him in a calmly fashion. His eyes widened as he became scared for his life, we both knew I was going to end it. Finally reaching him, I put both hands on his cheeks, opening my mouth to say that last word he'd ever hear he opened his mouth.
"Wait! I'll tell you just spare me!" I arched an eye brow at his sudden co-operation. Then again potenial death did that to people. He took my silence as a sign to continue. "The Young Lord, is using the port behind his villa to move some crates back to the Boss. I've heard that they are needed for some top secret project that he is doing on an island in the New World. So top secret that the Marines don't even know that it's going on. I was sent here to give them more time so they they could put it all on the ships and get it out of here before you came."
Tilting my head to the side I took in the material. That was some what useful information. I glanced off to the side, only snapping my head back when I saw some more supicious objects near me. I sighed and looked at the sweating clown in front of me. "End."
Dropping my hands from his face the clown fell to the ground as I walked around his body. The ammunition around him fell to the ground as well. I would have let him live if he didn't try and blow me up with those bombs, now duds. Taking the turn around the bend I could see the villa in the near distance. Crossing my arms over my chest I shifted my weight back and forth from one leg to the other. Thinking of whether I should try to sneak in, and assasinate him so he couldn't tell others what was going on and sabotage him. On the other hand, though I could just kill every single person who gets in my way and send him into a frenzy about who it could be. Hands on my hips caused me to try and leap forward to escape their grasp. The large hands pulled back and I was suddenly pressed against a hard body.
"You're distracting my men. Please stop Ana-ya." The deep voice of Trafalgar Law invaded my ear, as he come into my very personal space. With it it seemed his over whelming amout of heat also came with it. His warm breath on the back of my neck sent shivers down my spine. He let his grip slack just enough for me to escape from his grasp. I knew my cheeks would tinted red, seeing his face made them even worse. The ever knowing smirk he gave me irked me in certain ways, I did know wether to smack it off or rebut him. Turning around and stomping towards the villa I decided to just kill people instead.
The guards at the door didn't even know what hit them when I came in like a hurricane. The deep chuckle behind me made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up in a paranoid way. We were more than halfway through the villa and I kept distance between myself and the Heart Pirate. I didn't want him putting his hands on me again, I didn't like the sensation that came with his touch. Though watching his victims fly around the blue field he had created was pretty entertaining, in a morbid way. Making my way through the double doors in front of me, I saw orange right beside me and looked up to glance at the bear. Bepo it seemed was a master at kung fu, or some other type of martial art. I didn't know much between telling the differences between them, just how to use them. Smiling up at the polar bear, he grinned back down at me. Four other pairs of feet come in close behind us as we mad our way to where Patty would most likely be. The thing that caught me off guard was the fact there were no more guards in the room. This room especially had the most seeing as how our destination was only right ahead of us. Throwing my hand out, I signalled them to stop. Kneeling down to the floor, I felt it for vibrations. Yet another ability I had stolen from a Marine, the same one who gave me Shatter. Standing up I frowned at the fact that there wasn't any on this floor. At least in the room we stood in, so there really weren't any more people in the villa at the moment. Stationary people wouldn't be detected so if they had managed to be say sitting I wouldn't be able to detect them. Patty would be sitting on his 'throne' in his 'Throne Room'.

It was unsettling to me with the lack of people. Even if Patty had the ability to move the air in almost every way he pleased he never fought himself. That's why he had henchmen who would do it for him no matter what. The damn fucker thought he could buy me with money, sneering out loud I tried my best to not laugh at the insane thought. He kept asking me each and every time I came up here for whatever reason, to join some stupid thing and each time it was a no from me. Everyone in this insane place thought they could just do as they pleased, but that was going to end today. Very simply, in fact, maybe this will be my warm up for the day. Scratch that, my exercise for the year.
"Is there a problem Ana-ya?" Ugh that voice, that velvet voice was making me sick at the moment. Turning my head to the right I saw Law out of the corner of my eye. Looking back at the door, I ignored him as I stepped closer to it. Putting my hands on it quietly I placed my right ear right against it. Trying my best to hear if there was any movements or talking on the other side. Despite my efforts though I couldn't hear anything from behind it. Sighing, I was taking my hands off when the door suddenly exploded.
Dun-dun-duuuun! Well, there I've gone and added a little bit of excitement! I wouldn't get too worked up over a fight scene here since right now is only supposed to be about showcasing Ana's abilities to Law. Ya know, getting him all excited about what she can do, interesting the Dark Doctor in all the right ways!
Don't be afraid to leave me some criticism, I'm a very open person! Leave any and all opinions/questions and I'll definitely answer them I promise! Until Next time!
