Chapter 3: Doflamingo's tale carry's on and Garps guilt

AN: well here it is the chapter that was voted for, I hope you are happy with the result. I hope my portrayal of Garp can redeem him slightly more alongside Roger's request and I hope to redeem Crocodile through this story.

I don't own anything to do with one piece as it belongs to Eiichiro Oda and Shonen Jump Magazine.

Marine HQ meeting room

"Wow so you're saying that Crocodile became a pirate for her?" Buggy the clown exclaimed in wonder, while he wouldn't admit it, he held a new found respect for his predecessor.

"That was only half of it, I mean another reason was because of Vice Admiral Garp"Doflamingo said as his Cheshire smile widened into epic proportions.

"Okay scumbag we don't have to know Garps part in this" Sengoku said obviously trying to divert people's attention away from an uncomfortable situation.

"Oh but we do, if they are going to understand Croc's motivation and reasons" countered Doflamingo smirking as he knew where this was going.

As Sengoku opened his mouth to protest Garp and Smoker stepped into the room and sat down at the table with the others.

" Oh for the love of Neptune will someone carry on with this dammed story" Garp said knowing this was necessary to not only catch Crocodile but remove the guilt he had carried for 26 years.

"got something to say Garp do tell" Buggy said with a haughty tone.

"My overzealous actions caused that girls death 26 years ago, even though she was a pirate she could have stopped but I took the opportunity away from her, I ended up killing her with my own hands" Garp said sadly knowing that it was his fault that not only his grandsons became pirates because of him, but someone else too.

"So your time as a rookie caused a young woman's death and caused Crocodile to be one of the worst pirates yet"Mihawk stated causing people to roll their eyes at his highly obvious observation.

"And you're saying it's your fault that we have to deal with not only his mess but him as well" Smoker added, narrowing his eyes at Garp.

"Well let's carry on with the story, hey Smokey you may want your little captain Tashigi she may need to hear this" Doflamingo said quickly regaining the room's focus.

In the training room

Tashigi is busy putting both Coby and Helmeppo through their paces when she was approached by one of her subordinates and was told that she had to go to the meeting room, as she left she wondered what Smoker wanted seeing as he was in a meeting with not only their superiors but the pirating warlords as well, meaning that couldn't be good.

Once she had left both Coby and Helmeppo fell to their knees in exhaustion, they were wondering when she was going to let up on their training, but they weren't expecting it to happen so soon.

"What just happened there?" Ask Coby in between pants.

"She's just left, saying something about the meeting upstairs" Helmeppo replied tiredly.

"well there are all those rumors about Crocodile going to Talmar and about him having a girlfriend going around, maybe they are trying to find away to catch her and give his location to them" stated Coby before he past out.

As the pair lay there on the floor they came to realize that if Crocodile had a girlfriend, she would possibly be worse than Crocodile himself, for all they knew she could be the one egging him on or she could be some sort of monster that had to be removed.

Okay people it's here so please forgive me if it seems like it's rushed but I do care about you readers, so read and review and continue to be there for more chapters.

The next one shall hopefully be about Estrella so till then.
