Jade: The incident that happened at the Two Sakuras Wedding Chapel that put this whole gory story into motion has since become legend.
"Massacre at Two Sakuras" That's what the newspapers called it. The local TV news called it, "The Karin, Kimiko Wedding Chapel Massacre."
How it happened, who was there, how many got killed and who killed them - changes depending on who's telling the story.
In actual fact, the massacre didn't happen during a wedding at all. It was a wedding rehearsal.
Inside the church where Jade who is pregnant, her fiance Rob Lucci and her sister and friends are at.
"Now, when we come to the part where I say, "You may kiss the bride," you may kiss the bride. But don't stick your tongue in her mouth." Replied Shanks as her friends laughed.
"This might be funny to your friends, but it would be embarrassing to your parents." Replied Shanks.
"We'll try to restrain ourselves, Shanks." Replied Jade.
"Y'all got a song?" asked Kaku.
"How 'bout "Love Me Tender"? I can play that." replied Kaku.
"Sure."
"Love Me Tender" would be great.
"Kaku he's the man. Kaku, who was that that you used to play for?" asked Shanks.
"Rob Lucci. I was a Drell. I was a Drifter. I was a Coaster. I was part of the Gang. I was a Barkay. If they come through Kimiko, I done played with 'em." Replied Kaku.
"Have I forgotten anything?" asked Shanks.
"Um Oh yes, you forgot, uh, the seating arrangements." answered Vivi.
"Thank you, Vivi. Yes. Now, the way we normally do this, we have the bride's side, and then we have the groom's side. But since the bride ain't got nobody comin', and the groom's got far too many people comin'" replied Shanks.
"Well, yeah, they're comin' all the way from Water 7." replied Robin.
"Right Well, I don't see no problem with the groom's side sharing the bride's side. Do you, Vivi?" asked Shanks.
"I don't have a problem with that. But, uh Honey, you know, it would be good if you had somebody come. You know, as a sign of good faith?" asked Vivi.
"Well, I don't have anybody except for Lucci and my friends." answered Jade.
"You have no family?" replied Vivi.
"Well, I'm workin' on changing that. Vivi, we're all the family this little angel's ever gonna need." replied Boa Hancock as Jade and her sister and friends hundled together.
"I'm not feeling very well, and this bitch is starting to piss me off. So while y'all blather on, I'm gonna go outside and get some air. " Replied Jade.
"OK." Replied Jade's friends as Jade got up and began to walk.
"Um, uh, Shanks, sorry, uh. She's gonna go out and get some air." replied Robin.
"Yeah. Given her delicate condition." added Boa Hancock.
"Yes, She just needs a few minutes to get it together." Added Marigold.
"She'll be OK." added Sandersonia.
"Right." Answered Shanks as the girl began to heat a flute which is coming from outside, walking outside of the church and seeing a man with short black hair, tattooed on the right side of his neck and wearing a red suit. There was her ex lover Sakazuki Akainu who had finished playing his flute and sees Jade.
"Hello, Jade." Replied Akainu.
"How did you find me?" asked Jade.
"I'm the man." answered Akainu.
"What are you doin' here?" asked Jade.
"What am I doin'? Well a moment ago I was playin' my flute. At this moment l'm lookin' at the most beautiful bride with her intelligent and beauty have ever seen." answered Akainu.
"Why are you here?" asked Jade.
"Last look." answered Akainu.
"Are you gonna be nice?" asked Jade.
"I've never been nice in my whole life. But I'll do my best to be sweet." answered Akainu.
"I always told you my sweet side is your best side. I guess that's why you're the only one who's ever seen it." answered Jade.
"So you got a bun in the oven." replied Akainu.
"I'm knocked up." replied Jade.
"Jeez, Louise. That young man of yours sure doesn't believe in wasting time, does he?" Replied Akainu.
"Have you seen Rob Lucci?" asked Jade.
"Big guy in the tux?" answered Akainu.
"Yes. Then I saw him. I like his hair." replied Akainu.
"You promised you'd be nice." replied Jade.
"No, I said I'd do my best." answered Akainu.
"That's hardly a promise." replied Jade.
"But you're right. What does your young man do for a living?" asked Akainu.
"He owns a nice music store here in Karin, Kimiko." answered Jade.
"Ah. Music lover, eh?" asked Akainu.
"He's fond of music." answered Jade.
"Aren't we all? And what are you doing for a J-O-B these days?" asked Akainu.
"I work in the same store. Aso. It all suddenly seems so clear." replied Jade.
"Do you like it?" asked Akainu.
"Yeah. I like it a lot, smartass. I get to listen to music all day talk about music all day. It's really cool. It's gonna be a great environment for my little boy and girl to grow up in." Replied Jade.
"As opposed to jetting around the world, killing human beings, and being paid vast sums of money." replied Akainu.
"Precisely. Well, my old friend to each his own. However, all cockblockery aside.I am looking forward to meeting your young man. I happen to be, more or less, particular whom my girl want to marry." Answered Akainu.
"You want to come to the wedding?" asked Jade.
"Only if I can sit on the bride's side. You'll find it a bit lonely on my side. Your side always was a bit lonely. But I wouldn't sit anywhere else. You know I had the loveliest dream about you." answered Akainu as Jade sees her Fiance coming towards them.
"Oh, here's Lucci! Call me Konan." replied Jade as Lucci goes up to them.
"You must be Rob Lucci?" asked Akainu.
"Yep. Konan's told me so much about you. Honey, you OK?" asked Lucci.
"Oh, I'm fine. Lucci, I'd like you to meet my father." answered Jade.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God, this is great! I'm so glad to meet you, sir uh, Dad." replied Lucci.
"My name is Sakazuki Akainu." replied Akainu.
"Well, it's great to meet you. Akainu. Konan told me you couldn't make it." replied Lucci.
"Well surprise." Replied Akainu.
"That's my pop for ya. Always full of surprises." Replied Jade.
"Well, in the surprise department the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." replied Akainu.
"When did you get in?" asked Lucci.
"Just now." answered Akainu.
"Did you come straight from Water 7?" asked Lucci.
"If course. Daddy, I told Lucci that you were in Crystal mining for silver, and no one could reach you." answered Jade.
"Lucky for us all, that's not the case. So... What's this all about?" asked Akainu.
"I've heard of wedding rehearsals, but I don't believe I've ever heard of a wedding dress rehearsal before." replied Lucci.
"We thought, "Why pay so much money for a dress you're only gonna wear once?" Especially when Konan looks so goddamn beautiful in it. So, I think we're gonna try to get all the mileage we can out of it. Isn't it supposed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony?" asked Lucci.
"Well, I guess I just believe in living dangerously. I know just what you mean." Answered Akainu
"Son. Some of us have places to be." Replied Shanks.
"Sure do." Replied Akainu.
"Look, we got to go through this one more time." replied Jade.
"So, why don't you have a shit. " Replied Lucci.
"Oh, my God. What am I thinking? You should give her away!" replied Lucci.
"Lucci, that's not exactly Daddy's cup of tea. I think Father would be much more comfortable sitting with the rest of the guests." replied Jade.
"Hmm. Really? That's asking a lot." Replied Akainu.
"Oh. OK. Well, forget it. But how about we go out to dinner tonight to celebrate?" asked Lucci.
"Only on the condition that I pay for everything. Deal. We got to do this now." replied Akainu.
"Can I watch?" asked Akainu.
"Absolutely. Have a seat." answered Jade.
"Which is the bride's side?" asked Lucci.
"Right over here." answered Shanks.
"Here we go! Now son, about them vows." replied Shanks.
"Sakazuki, I just want." Replied Jade.
"You don't owe me a damn thing. If he's the man you want then go stand by him." answered Akainu as Jade kissed him in the lips.
"Do I look pretty?" asked Jade
"Yes. You always be beautiful as a Sakura blossom tree." answered Akainu
"Thank you." Replied Jade as she hugs Akainu, and heading to the group. Akainu stood in the church while Kurome, Alvida, Kizaru, and Sadi holding their machine rifles and heading inside the church.
"What the hell?" replied Shanks as her friends screamed and trying to run away.
No! Sakazuki!" screamed Jade as the machines rifles began to shoot everyone until there was silence.
At Kimiko, Karin in the deserted place. Kizaru and Akainu are at Kizaru's trailer.
"You tellin' me she cut her way through bodyguards before she got to Kurome?" asked Kizaru.
"Nah, there wasn't really of 'em. They just called themselves "The Crazy 88" answered Akainu.
"How come?" asked Kizaru.
"I don't know. I guess they thought it sounded cool. Anyhow, they all fell under her Fujitora sword." answered Akainu.
"She got a Fujitora sword?" asked Kizaru.
"He made one for her. Didn't he swear a blood oath to never make another sword? It would appear he has broken it." answered Akainu.
"Them Japs sure know how to hold a grudge, don't they? Or maybe you just tend to bring that out in people." replied Kizaru.
"I know this is a ridiculous question before I ask it, but you haven't, by any chance, kept up with your swordplay?" asked Akainu.
"I, um I pawned that five years ago." answered Kizaru.
"You hocked a Issho Fujitora sword?" Asked Akainu.
"Yep." answered Kizaru.
"It was priceless." replied Akainu.
"Well, not in Karin, it ain't. In Karin, I got me 500 berli for it. I'm a bouncer in a titty bar, Sakazuki. If she wants to fight with me, all she's got to do is come down to the club and start some shit, and we'll be in a fight." Replied Kizaru.
"I know we haven't spoken in some time, and the last time we spoke wasn't the most pleasant, but you've got to get over being mad at me, and start becoming afraid of Jade, because she is coming, and she's coming to kill you. And unless you accept my assistance, I have no doubt she will succeed." replied Akainu.
"I don't dodge guilt, and I don't Jew out of paying my comeuppance." Replied Kizaru.
"Can't we just... forget the past?" asked Akainu.
"That woman deserves her revenge. And we deserve to die. But then again so does she. So I guess we'll just see. Won't we?" answered Kizaru as the two go to their separate ways.
