The government was more sick and twisted than what I could have ever imagined. The government had abandoned the laboratory on Punk Hazard and in its stead, the War Lord, Doflamingo, had occupied it with his men as they worked on various experiments as the building was forgotten by the government. I made my way through the chilling halls, alone. I felt a chill running through my body as I felt numb, more numb than I had ever felt before. I stopped walking, my hand gripping at my chest. I felt pained. I knew now that anything that I had known before was a lie. Was there ever truly such a thing as Absolute Justice in this world or were we all racing to claim the top and make their own justice?

"I cannot... I cannot..." I felt a clenching of my chest. My heart no longer there but something was indeed wrong. Was it perhaps that man that went by the name CC? I had been asked to leave, Law had ordered me to go, but now I feared that something was wrong. No, it couldn't have been that... something was up ahead that I could see. I heard the noise of what sounded like a battle that was taking place straight ahead. I gritted my teeth and pulled myself together as I pushed off and ran toward the noise. I had heard other noises such as shouting of other people in panic as I ran through the halls, but I wasn't prepared to come out to this.

When I came to a stop, I caught site of Law fighting, running right into his Devil Fruit powers I lingered behind the open door. I watched as he fought against Tashigi... her body was cut in half by his Devil Fruit powers and she laid on the ground helpless. Many other Marines were dissasimbled by Law and crying out for help. This was ridiculous, what were they doing here on the island?

Smoker watched from afar as the fight carried on, but I knew it was only a matter of time before he would launch his own attack now that Tashigi was helpless. The stupid girl, she never was much use to Smoker. I watched, seeming to go unnoticed by the Marines and Law himself. Tashigi was no match for Law, it was stupid to even try at her skill level. Law was a well trained swordsman and no where on the lower level of Tashigi, herself.

"What a disgrace... to be cut down and still breathing," she gasped, laying useless on the snow covered ground. "If you're going to cut me, kill me Trafalgar!" she shouted, grabbing the man's attention. From what I could tell from his voice he was glaring toward the ignorant woman.

"And preforming such a trifle makes a swordsman? Remember this woman," he stated coldly as he approached her.

"Weaklings do not chose their deaths." I overhead Law say in that cold tone that he held.

"Bastard!" she screamed, swinging her sword only to have Law slice it in half. I closed my eyes, knowing full and well that she adored her swords and to have them cut in half, that was hitting below the belt on this.

"You'll never reach me with that sword." He raised his blade above his head and prepared to strike.

"But if you'd like, I can cut you up some more." I caught the fear in her eyes; the fear of death. The rest of the Marines behind the fallen women became pissed with Law, shouting at him to not take their Captain lightly and to not say such things to her. They fired their guns, bullets barreling toward him. But, Law seemed unamused by such a small attempt of attack.

The Marines went in panic as their bullets were suddenly hitting them in return. I watched as a sudden amount of fresh snow fell in front of Law and by the lack of the bullets, I could figure what happened.

"Those are your bullets. I switched them with the snow." he explained to the startled and wounded men. I frowned, honestly, just how stupid were these men to not know anything about one of their own War Lords. I closed my eyes, surely M-5 was smarter than this bunch of idiots? When I opened my eyes once again I watched as Law was preparing to attack Tashigi once again.

But, I didn't have time to waste as I caught site of an on coming attack. I flew out from behind the door and to Law's side where one of my blades were drawn and came in contact with other that had launched the attack, while I have already drawn my other blade prior and stopped Law's attack from hitting me in return.

"E-Emma!?" Smoker was taken back as I blocked his attack from hitting Law's sword. I narrowed my eyes and it seemed that the whole area went silent. Tashigi laid beneath Smoker as she looked up with an expression that was unmatched by anyone else. Smoker, well, his was beyond shocked but then again it had been two years since I had last seen the man.

"Hello Smoker." I greeted the shocked man. He stood there for a split second before his teeth nearly bit off the cigar that rested in his mouth. I could feel Law's glare from behind me, he never did enjoy it when I tended to show off.

"Sorry about the unexpected interruption from me... but something felt a bit out of place so I had to come and check things out for myself." I explained causing Law to take the weight off of my sword. Nearly seconds latter Smoker used his Devil Fruit powers and removed himself from in front of me but leaving his blade there to hold me back and instead he appeared behind Law and with an angry expression, he gave an equally angry attack to the man behind me.

He had grabbed Law's neck from behind and threw him to the ground. Smoker took his blade and pushed me away, causing a growl to slip from my lips. Frustration quickly entered my being as I watched as Smoker was preparing to ram the Sea Stone tip of his blade into Law's face.

"That's Sea Stone Prism, Law!" I informed the man, causing him to disappear from beneath Smoker and end up behind the man, swinging his blade down on Smoker's back.

"I had a feeling that's what it was, I had the same unease with Emma's blades as well." Law informed us all as he swung on Smoker, only to have the man block his attack. The backlash had caused Law to cut the ship that hovered above the other Marines in half, causing it to come crashing down as Law could no longer focus his energy or attention of the object. The Marines screamed as they scrambled to get out of harms way of the falling ship.

I watched as a Marine ran up next to me to pick up Tashigi's body parts and then took off with her. They ran for as far as they could in order to try to escape Law's operating room, but I knew better than to try to run. I had seen this before and so I staid, but I kept my distance.

"You idiots!" I called out to them, causing them to stop and turn to me. The fight between Law and Smoker raged on behind me as I casually walked up toward them. They all started to panic as they didn't know who I was... everyone but Tashigi.

"E-Emma-san! W-Why are you here with Trafalgar!?" She demanded to know. The other Marines looked to their Captain confused and scared, holding up their swords at me as I made my way closer to them.

"I don't attack the weak." I stated, putting away my swords to show them that I did indeed mean no harm to them. Even though I was a pirate now, it was true, I did not just randomly attack the weak for no reason. Nobody had made a move to attack me yet, so why even bother?

"I am here with him because he is my captain. Honestly, Tashigi, do you not read any of the reports?"

"I-I read the one where you had been deemed dead at the hands of the Fleet Admiral!" I narrowed my eyes. Akainu was indeed the newly founded Fleet Admiral, he had been since the day at Marine Ford. I had heard that Sengoku had been informed that I had died and was unable to continue on being in charge. He left the Navy and I hadn't heard news of him since. Up until a year and a half ago everyone thought that I had indeed died at least until I had shown myself at a War Lord's meeting as I had accompanied Law there so he could inform the Navy of who was on his crew and therefor was protected from being hunted down like dogs.

I clenched my teeth as the pain suddenly filled my chest again. I gasped, wondering why it felt like my heart was literally about ready to burst from my chest. Everyone watched me confused, Tashigi yelled at me, asking what was wrong. I shook my head my lips making a line as I glared toward the men.

"Battle wounds. It's nothing." I chuckled deeply although the pain continued. I glanced over to see Law and Smoker going at it head to head. I took a deep breath and wondered why they were here.

"What caused you to come here in the first place? This island is off limits to everyone." I informed them, wondering how they even got through the sea of fire and the field of lighting.

"We heard a distress call coming from the island. Our men were being attack by a swordsman." Tashigi informed me so ignorantly, didn't she know that she was suppose to keep her mouth shut to the enemy? I rolled my eyes, but at the same time wondered... who was the swordsman that was attacking random Marines? It hadn't been Law and I, the only person we had attacked was that annoy asshole from earlier and Law merely severed his head.

"Tell me Tashigi," I stated, crossing my arms over my chest as I took a deep breath still trying to calm the pain within me. "Is there anyone else here on the island that you're aware of?" I didn't see her expression, but I could tell by the sound of her voice that she was just as confused as I was when she spoke.

"The Straw Hats are also here on the island." I closed my eyes, so it was true, my observation Haki wasn't wrong after all... Luffy was indeed here.
