Hello all! I'm back with another chapter and have finally revealed who the prisoner is! He's my favorite character right now and I had to make a story about him. I wasn't sure how to go about it at first I think this will work. I apologize if this wasn't the person you guys were expecting. I'm too passive for my own good =P I just like his crazy. Please enjoy!

I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE. I AM SIMPLY A FAN.

Chapter 2: The Stage is Set

Tora and the trainees saluted and say 'yes sir!' before following Magellan out of the office. They weren't far from the entrance luckily. As the small group drew closer, Tora noticed the jailers are all at attention and on alert in the halls. They are all prepared to 'welcome' the newest 'guest' so to speak.

"Chief Warden Hannyabl, sir." Magellan reluctantly greeted.

"Chief Guard Saldeath," he is the master of the blue gorillas and level 2's beast.

"Chief Guard Sadi-chan," A sadistic, scantily dressed women who has power over the jailer beasts.

"And Head Jailer Domino." She practically runs the prison if Hannyabl or Magellan are unavailable.

Great Staff Officer Tsuru, who is one of the navy vice admirals, walks in through the gate just as Magellan finishes greeting his coworkers. Hannyabl and Magellan welcome Vice Admiral Tsuru and the two other marines following behind her.

"Welcomes to this fine establishment! As it would happen I have finally achieved my dream by removing Magellan from his position…*cough cough*…I mean the position I rightfully earned after years of dedicated work." Hannyabl says cheerfully.

"Welcome Vice Admiral," adds Magellan.

"Hello and yes Chief Warden indeed. Now would you, your Vice Warden and chief guards help with escorting the prisoner off my ship now." Tsuru gently demands more than requests.

He is very dangerous as they all know and needs to be treated with the upmost caution. Without out a surprising amount of screaming or cursing the prisoner, a very tall built man, is practically dragged out of the ship's haul grinning madly. He's wearing sunglasses of all things along with the standard black and white prison uniform. He's bound head-to-toe in shackles of some kind, Tora is almost positive those chains are made of sea prism stone. She finds his demeanor rather unsettling. How could anyone seem so happy or confident about going to prison? What is his up with him?

"The infamous warlord, excuse me, former warlord Donquixote Doflamingo. The so called great pirate has finally fallen." Hannyabl taunted.

The prisoner's grin only grew wider. Slowly he started to chuckled. It soon turned into a full-blown laugher.

"Fufufu… at least I AM strong. Strong enough to kick your ass into oblivion. With me gone all the lowly fish will be fighting for power, eager to claim my former position! I may be imprisoned now but your work only got ten times harder!"

Doflamingo bellowed out these words and continued to manically laugh all the while. Hannyabl was fuming. He'd had enough of the prisoner's insults and punched him right in the face. Before Hannyabl could continue Domino advise him to behave and not offend Vice Admiral Tsuru by starting a needless fight. Doflamingo ceased his laughing but remained smiling even while blood trickled down from his lip.

Brushing the invisible dust off his uniform Hannyabl said "Enough with you, you bastard pirate. Let's take him away. It's time for him to be baptized." Hannyabl quickly changed to a more authoritative tone as he barks out instructions.

Magellan motions for Tora and the other trainees to follow the group of higher ups. They enter a room with a large pot of boiling water. A strange device hung over the pot and was connected to a platform. Gigantic flames spewed out from under the three-story tall cauldron. The room's temperature was significantly higher than that of the hallway. The stone walls trapped the heat inside making the room feel like a large furnace. Tora shifted uncomfortably in the heat. She discreetly fanned herself while Domino and Magellan got the strange contraption ready. They began hooking up the prisoner to the end of the contraction. Tora's eyes went wide. She shut them tight at the realization she had just come to. In slight horror, she knew what Hannyabl meant by 'baptizing.' He was going to dunk the prisoner into that boiling water.

She felt no sympathy towards this Doflamingo character but she couldn't imagine the amount of pain that would be. The flames heated up the room, just thinking of how hot that water must be made her cringe. Then Tora heard it. Those words and the sound of splashing.

"Lower him," Hannyabl commanded. *SPLASH*

Oh my god! Eek! Tora couldn't help herself from letting out a small noise of fright.

She slapped her hands over her mouth. Magellan looked over at her and squinted a bit. Tora bowed slightly in apology. The splashing noise could be heard a few more times but the prisoner made not noise of his own.

Tora closed her eyes again just praying this would end quickly. She wasn't quite prepared for this and feels embarrassed by her behavior and maybe the slightest concern for the prisoner but she shoved that feeling down quickly.

They left that room almost as fast as they had entered. Bidding farewell to Vice Admiral Tsuru, the rest of them made their way to the elevator. Hannyabl dismissed Chief Guard Saldeath and Sadi-chan to continue their duties. Magellan told the trainees to wait there until he returned. They were headed for a place the general staff couldn't go. Tora let out a relieved sigh. This whole ordeal was a bit overwhelming for her. Her first day on the job was turning out to be interesting; downright crazy too when Hannyabl spoke up one last time.

"You there, on the end."

Tora pointed to herself.

Hannyabl continued, "yes you, now come with us."

Huh?! Why me?! Tora was too shocked to move for a second. She was new. Why would the chief warden possibly need her?

"Get a move one! Chief Warden knows what he's doing," Domino said off hand.

Reluctantly Tora left the other trainees behind and made her way onto the elevator with her superiors. Why she was going she didn't know but the prisoner's constant low laughter was unsettling to her. She'll find out why she was needed soon because the elevator began to drop.
