Hey guys sorry I took long to update. I've just been dealing with a lot of stuff and it caused me to lose inspiration, but like how I said in my Welcome To Wonderland update. I got inspired to write again. So here is the long awaited Chapter 4 please enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN THE CHARACTERS AND THE PLOT I ADD IN. :P
Chapter 4
I'm sitting in the arena dungeon across from Luffy glaring at him. Why did he have to go and run off the cliff and into the bath house? Well there goes my only home I ever had besides living with Rayleigh and Shakky. Sighing to myself I look off to right and stare at the bars of our cell. In my mind they look just the same all those years ago. Nothing so different if I think about it. Well I don't have to worry about survival day by day. Guess that's a plus. I hear a noise of shuffling by me and notice that Luffy had moved beside me. Surprised that I hadn't even notice he moved shows how deep in thought I've been since we've been put in here. Thinking back on how I've been treating Luffy since we got here makes me sigh. I see Luffy twitch from that. Guess I've been doing it more than I noticed. It's silent for about 10 more minutes before I decide to speak up. "Are you okay Luffy?" I ask a while looking over at him. Seeing how he smiles now that I pay attention to him makes me feel bad about blaming him for what happened.
"Yeah I'm okay Luna thank you for asking" he said with a smile to me. I look closer and can tell he's lying. But why? Why lie to me when is just the two of us?
"Luffy why are you lying to me?" I asked him slightly hurt by it, but I don't let show so he doesn't know. I see the surprised look on his face.
"How did you know I was lying" he asked me very surprised. I just chuckle at him because he should have at least tried to deny it.
"Well it was easy to tell. You're not that good at lying" I told him with a smile on my face. I chuckle to myself from seeing Luffy's surprised face. I had never seen such innocence for a brief moment on a pirate. This boy confuses me so much sometimes. How can someone like him exist this far into Paradise? What did he do? Did he bribe other sailors like some new rookies do? I decide to ask him. "Luffy can I ask you something?" I spoke looking over to him. I see how he perks up at how we're talking more.
"Sure thing Luna. What did you want to ask?" Luffy replied while snuggling closer to me to stay warm. I just stare him for a moment before I open my mouth to speak.
"How did someone like you make it this far in Paradise?" I ask wrapping the blanket around the two of us tighter. He seems confused for a moment before he speaks up.
"What do you mean Paradise? This is the Grandline" he says looking to me for an answer. I forgot how most of the greenhorns don't call it this.
"My bad. That's what pirates from the New World call it" I said leaning against him closing my eyes. "Also you still didn't answer my question brat" I mumbled after a second. I hear him gasp and almost break his freaking neck to look at me.
"Your from the New World?!" He spoke very excited to me. I just chuckle at him.
"More or less and quit avoiding the question" I answered while elbowing him softly in the side. He just laughs and squirms a bit.
"What was the question again?" Seriously? I groan out loud and repeat the question to him. "Oh I made it this far because of my Nakama! My crew is like family to me. They're my best friends and comrades. We all rely on each other. We give each other strength when we think we have none. That's how I made it this far. Also I'm strong too" he adds the last part like he forgot. I'm surprised he didn't start off with that like most other captains. I stare at him for a long time wondering how I came to know this boy. He just smiles at me and wraps his arms around me, while snuggling his face into my neck. Feeling his breath reminds me of what happened not that long ago. I feel him smile as this causes me to gasp lowly. Feeling his tongue on my neck makes a shiver run up my spine. I feel him nibbling on my neck. The pleasure is starting to take over that I forget to tell him to not bite my neck. I was so wrapped up in what we were doing that I didn't hear the footsteps till the dungeon door slammed open. This made both of us jump and look up to the door to see what happened. There standing in the door was two guards holding spears.
"Get up. It's time to decide your fate" is what we hear the first guard say. We both get up and walk to the door. As I'm walking with Luffy behind the guards we come to the opening for the colosseum. Luffy is pushed to continue to walk forward, but they stopped me. We both look to the guards confused. "The Empress wants to stay by her side Lady Luna" is all they say before the direct me to the upper throne where Hancock sat with Sandersonia and Marigold. The two younger sisters just look at me before they break eye contact not being able to hold my gaze. I hear Ryo rumble in satisfaction that we showed them who was stronger from that interaction. With that I turned my gaze to the woman who I think of as a sister. We stare at one another for who knows how long. Neither of us wanting to back down at this small challenge. Its ends up being a draw as we both sigh out loud and look away at the same time.
"Why am I up here Boa. I thought I was supposed to be down there with Luffy" I said as I turn face to her again. She's just silent before she spoke up to me. Looking up to me she speaks up answering my question.
"You're my sister in arms Luna and because of that you will gain a different punishment. After the death of this man I will tell everyone about your exile. You won't have the status as you did before. If you are to step on this island after today, you will be attacked upon sight" she said in a soft and sad tone. I just stare at her before seeing Sandersonia and Marigold go down into the colosseum after Bacure was defeated, with one punch, and start to fight Luffy. I frown at this seeing how they toy with him. This made me so upset that I started to walk toward them, but was stopped by Boa. "Don't go down there Luna. I can't protect you if the Island sees you defend a man" she said to me. My face contorts in anger and what she said. Just as I'm about to speak I hear Luffy yell in anger. We both look to the colosseum and see some native women turned to stone. This surprised me but not Boa. I hear how they helped Luffy in part of the escape and so they were to be punished. Turning my head so fast to Boa, as she is the only one able to turn them to stone, she doesn't look upset at all. "They knew the laws Luna. Its their own fault and so they must pay" is all she says as she turns back to the battle. I frown before doing the same to see the two sisters use their haki against him and that they're just playing with him. Growling out loud I set Boa's snake on edge, which alerted the woman to look at me. With her snake on edge it set the rest of the snakes in the colosseum on edge as well. From one animal to another we understand hierarchy, and baby was I on top of it. The women couldn't understand what was happening but soon their attention was directed back to the fight. I see how the two sisters freeze as they were about to destroy Margurite's stone form.
He has Haoshoku Haki? I look on surprised with every single women here. Me and Boa notice that he hasn't mastered it yet. I don't think he even knows that he has it I think as I look at one of the most baffling males that I have ever met. Which is saying something since the people I know are very odd. Watching him fight I see he takes a stance that makes his skin start turning red and start steaming. I faintly hear him say Gear Second where I stand. What the hell is Gear Second? Thinking to myself about if I've ever heard about a fighting technique called that, made me miss how Sandersonia turns her hair to snakes. Sandersonia proceeds to attack Luffy which he dodges to her surprise. I saw her confusion from up here and I snicker at her, making Boa frown. I catch her eyes and we stare at one another ignoring fight until we hear what sounds like a body smashing into the ground. Looking for Marigold I see her looking as rough as her other sister. Looking up we see how Luffy smashed Sandersonia into the ground of the arena. All the girls in the arena are shocked that their two top warriors are being handled so easily. I hear Boa Growl and ask her two sisters what they think they were doing. Watching them apologize to their older sister and that they'll deal with Luffy straight away. Feeling a hand touch me made me jerk away from the touch. Looking to see that it was Boa calmed me slightly since it was someone who I knew touching me.
"I see you still don't liked being touched Luna. I thought with time it would have gotten better" she said as looked at hip where she touched me. I just grunted not giving her a response, which made her frown.
Looking up in time I see Marigold light her hair on fire, shocking Luffy that she's not burning. Marigold's hair creates salamanders instead of snakes. The crowd in the colosseum start cheering loudly that Luffy has no chance because of the two sisters strongest attack would destroy him. Hearing this made me hope that Luffy knew what to do, which made me smile seeing that he was able to get a hit on them. Jet Gatling? Ah I guess it must be one of his fighting moves. His devil fruit is fascinating I wonder what he has is what I thought as I continue to watch him fight the two youngest snake sisters. Seeing them collide into one another, I see Luffy kick them in the underbellies making them collide. Since Marigold is still on fire she burns Sandersonia as a result. They try to seperate but fails seeing that their tails are tied together, I see Luffy look up at me and flash a victory sign at me and smiles. I feel a warm sensation in my chest that makes me feel a little light headed. I smile back him truly feeling happy that out of everyone here, he stills remembers to look for me. Seeing his face show surprise at what I did made me giggle, which caused Boa to look at our interaction and frown. Looking at Sandersonia I see how she's in agony at being burned made me frown. In her desperation, she leans back too far nearly falling into the snake pit. Luckily she manages to grab the audience stand to save herself. To my shock I see Luffy immediately jump on her back and the audience thinks that he's trying to finish her off. Marigold sees this and tells Sandersonia to finish him but she yells back that she can't. That Luffy is the only thing protecting them. Looking around I see the Kuja realize that Sandersonias clothes were burned off from the last attack and that her position is exposing her back and thus the "Gorgon's eyes" to them. Seeing that Luffy remembered that Boa would rather die than show this mark on her back, explains it to Sandersonia, telling her not to move. Boa ends the ceremony and made everyone is the colosseum evacuate, which they all complied with very quickly.
"Why did you protect us even though we were just fighting moments ago" Sandersonia asks him after he gets off her back and helps her aways from the pit. My anxiety spikes just wondering what he's going to say. My whole body is so wound tight that I'm surprised I remember to breath. Boa sees how tense I am before she grabbed my hand and pull me down to her. I willingly comply and melt into her embrace scared at what he was going to say. When I hear him take a breath to speak I finally realise how tense Boa is.
"The thing that you don't want to be seen by anyone has nothing to do with our fight" is all my chosen said. Hearing him say those words made Boa cry and cover her eyes, but for me I'm just so shocked that I almost pass out from the stress since waking up that morning.
Getting up I run down to Luffy hearing him ask Boa that if she was going to fight him. She tells him no that she's not in the mood anymore. I see how he frowns at her answer before shrugging it off, looking to me and smiling. As soon as I'm within in arms distance of him, he opens his arms and I just jump into them wrapping my legs and arms around him. I can feel how surprised everyone is that I'm acting very different from how I usually act. For those brief moments it feels like it's just me and Luffy, digging my face into his neck I feel him wrap his arms around me tight. Mom never said that my feelings would get this strong so fast for my chosen. What is going on? I'm so confused! Is what I frantically thought as I feel Luffy slowly loosen his grip letting me know. I unwrap my legs around and put my feet to the arena floor and stand there quietly next to him. Watching Luffy check over Marguerite I see him ask Boa to change them back that they only rescued him and did not deserve the punishment they were given.
"You have a choice. I turn them back and you stay on this island a prisoner, or I give you a boat and you can leave but they remain stone" Boa said as she looked at Luffy waiting for his choice. I see him give her his famous smile and ask if she would turn them back surprising the sisters and Nyon, who was still in the arena, at his selflessness. I just smile at grab his hand
Back in the castle with Luffy, Sandersonia and Marigold thank him for keeping their secret. Boa gently touches my shoulder signaling me to follow her. We both walk for a few minutes before we enter her throne room and go behind the veils. We both given robes to change into, which made me give her a confused look.
"I'm going to show him Luna and explain to him. I gave you a robe to just in case you want to show your friend as well" I'm smiling at the sentiment before I frown and hearing her call Luffy my 'Friend'. Turning around before she can see it I debate if I want to tell him. Holding the silk robe in my hands it strikes me that what if he rejects me and doesn't want someone who's so damaged and broken. He probably wants someone like his navigator Nami or his archaeologist Robin. They're both so beautiful compared to my scared and disgusting body is what I continue to think before I hear him coming down the hall. Coming to a decision, I hand the robe back to Boa which confuses her but she takes it regardless.
"I'm not ready to show him yet. If I do I just want it to be the two of us and not everyone else Boa" I tell her as I sit next her waiting for him to come into the room. And true to Luffy fashion when he comes in, he's thinking about food. Hearing him complain that there is no feast makes me chuckle out loud.
"Your rudeness is astounding" says with a frown before turning around and showing him her back. With that she being to explain the mark and its origin. I'm surprised that he stays quiet during the whole thing and listens to her. During the time everyone is talking I see how he secretly looks at me during it. This scares me a bit, because I think he's starting to put things together. I quickly look away and tune out everything hoping it will end and that I can run away and hide so I can not relive the bad memories. However, hearing Boa ask Luffy if he stills scorns her makes me listen in again.
"Not anymore, just the World Nobles" as we both hear that we smile at him not realising that the both of us were both falling deeply for him. Boa grants him a boat to leave the island after hearing his answer, much to Luffy's joy.
Sitting with Nyon later in the day enjoying each other's company and eating together. As we sit there and catch up with one another trading stories. Not long after we finish our food Luffy and Margutite show up and sit with us. From left to right sits me, Luffy Margurite, and Nyon. Resting one of my hands on leg, which is under the table, caused Luffy to as well. Grabbing my hand without a word, he continues to eat and talk. Giving a small smile I reach for my drink catching Nyon's eyes looking toward where mine and Luffys hand are. It dawns on me that I have never told Luffy about being my chosen, or any of the guys, except Killer, Kidd, and Law, for that matter. How will they react when I tell them? They're all pirates so they value their freedom extremely high. Should I tell them? Should I just enjoy what I have before I go to Pops and help him, then disappearing from their lives? I mean they might not feel the same way I do. Mother never told me how it works for the chosens end. Do they feel the same way as I do? Or do they not feel anything till the bond is in place? As I'm sitting thinking about all this I miss hearing about Luffy didn't know that Boa is a Shichibukai or about the coming war with Whitebeard and the execution of Fire Fist. feeling his hand being ripped out of mine so fast startled me out of my thoughts, making look to him.
"I have to go save him!" is what I hear Luffy frantically say as he's looking at the newspaper.
"Save who?" is the oh so intelligent answer I give.
"My brother Ace! I have to go and save him!" he says as he grabs his hat and puts it on his head.
"He's in Impel Down boy. The only way you're going to get to him is by having Hancock take you" Nyon says as she puts down her tea after taking a drink. She stands up and brushes herself off before telling him to follow her so the can go ask. Standing up I follow them as we all walk to go and see Boa. as we are walking to the castle Enishida nearly runs us over.
"I'm so sorry but you must come quickly. The Empress has fallen ill" is what she frantically tells us as she turns around and runs back to the castle. As we reach the castle we meet Belladona at the door as she informs us what her symptoms are. Nyon is silent before speaking up saying that she knows what this is. She says that the very illness Boa has, is what made her flee the island back during her rule as Empress. Nyon and I continue forward and reach Boa's room. Staying silent as I listen Nyon tell Hancock that she needs Luffy to come and see her.
Please don't let it be what I think it is I think as I lean against one of the pillars in the room. When Hancock hears her say his name she wills herself to sit up and listen to what he has to say. Watching Luffy walk into the room has an immediate effect on Hancock as well as me. No one notices this as they are all focused on how Hancock reacts.
"Hammock will you please answer the Shichibukai call?" this shock the sisters and Hancock agrees even though she hates Marejois. I can tell that Sandersonia and Marigold think that he's using Hancock, she can't resist her desire to fulfill his wish. I grit my teeth hearing how Hancock has caught the illness that is a love sickness. Hearing how Nyon explains the she has fallen in love with Luffy surprises her family, but makes me angry. Feeling Ryo rumble in the back of my head shows that he's upset as well. Or is it because I haven't claimed him yet?
Bingo you damn brat. You can't get mad that someone else is trying to take your chosen. You haven't claimed any of them yet, so that means they're free game to the world. Stop hiding and make your presence known. Is what he says before going back to sleep. When I become aware of my surroundings again I hear how that they'll get the ship ready to leave for the prison. Growling out loud startles everyone in the whole room as I storm up to Luffy and grab him putting him behind me.
"He's MINE Hancock! I won't let you have him!" I said growling at her surprising everyone with I just did and said.
"What do you mean he's yours Luna? You haven't said a word about it since you got here and as soon as you hear about my love sickness he's suddenly yours!? Don't fuck with me!" I see how her jealousy comes through immediately. After everyone heard what she said they agreed with her thinking that I was just jealous of her. Letting Luffy go I rip off my glove over my makred hand. Everyone immediately looks towards it since I never have my gloves off. Looking at my hand I shove it in her face and explain.
"He's one of my chosen Hancock! I've told you about this!" is what I growl out as she grabs my hand staring the the number and the initials surrounding. She then looks to his neck, then my hand, and finally back to his neck before speaking.
"You haven't made the claim Luna. Which means it's still possible for me to get him" is what she said as she released my hand. Hearing that made me growl in a menacing way scaring her sisters.
"What do you mean Luna?" Luffy asks startling the both of us. Standing up straight I turn to look at him terrified at what to say. Seeing how serious he is makes my mouth dry up. He stares into my eyes not once looking away.
"For your people's way of explaining it would be my soulmate. However, for my people we call it our Chosens. Our Chosens have the choice of whether or not of wanting to fulfill the bond. Unlike many other soul binding things, you can choose whether or not if you want to be with me. I haven't told you till now because…..I...I was scared. I never once thought I would find my chosen. I bumped into you all at Sabody. Everything has been so crazy that I thought it would be better to not tell you and to run away. But with the more time I spend with you the stroger my feelings for you are. I'll be honest I've never felt like this before. Only you and my other chosen make me feel like this" I said standing there fidgeting not being able to hold his gaze as I began explaining. Wringing my hands together in stress I didn't hear him walk towards me. Feeling a hand on my chin made me look up. Catching his eyes made uneasy and try to look away, but he didn't allow that. We both stand there looking at on another before he pulls me in and gives me a hug. Feeling his arms around me calms me immediately. After a moment he lets me go and looks at Hancock before speaking.
"I'm sorry that I can't either of you and answer at the moment. I'm neither accepting nor denying your interest in me. I have to go and save my brother before I can give either of you an answer. I hope you can respect that" he finishes before he waits for us to speak. We both nod at what he says, making him smile before leaving the room to get ready for the departure of the ship. We all just sit there for a moment before me and Hancock look at one another. Sticking my hand out to her caused her to look at me confused.
"We call a truce until the war is over" is all I said waiting for her decision. I didn't have to wait long as she grabbed my hand after what I said. With that I leave the room and leave her to get ready to leave.
I finish getting ready and walk with Luffy and Boa to the Kuja ship. Everyone says their goodbyes before we set sail to the marine ship. Luffy hides in Hancock's jacket before I wrap a black battle worn scarf around my face to try and hide. We reach the ship and she returns the men to natural state before we walk away. Momonga stopped us asking who I was, Hancock answer for me as I signed to her making it look like I was mute and that her people wouldn't have let her leave without a guard. He doesn't believe us which angered Hancock causing them to fight. Knowing where this was going to lead I quickly bite off my tongue. For a normal person that pain would have caused them to go into shock , but for me it didn't hurt at all. It felt more like a small burning sensation, it was uncomfortable but manageable. Knowing that I'm going to extreme measures is going to make Hancock and Luffy upset. It needs to be done if we want to try and stay together. Ryo immediately heals my tongue so it can look like its been that way for years.
"Open your mouth. I don't believe what she said" Momonga said making Hancock even more angry. Complying with what he asked I lower the scarf covering my mouth before opening it. Seeing both of their horrified looks at me missing a tongue made me sign to Hancock. "What did she say" Momonga said as he looked to Hancock.
"She said sorry if that made you uncomfortable Hancock and marine guy. I figured instead of trying to argue it would be better to comply. And before you ask marine guy no I'm not a pirate. I'm just some merc for hire. I have to make a living somehow" is what Hancock said as she translated what I said. This made Momonga frown before speaking up.
"Why didn't you join the marines then" after those words left his mouth I glared at him surprising everyone on the deck that I signing so furiously while glaring him down.
"I would never join the fucking bastards who did this to me! I would rather die than become one of you fucking dogs!" Hancock said surprised at how I'm coming up with all this on the spot. However, she didn't realise that part of what I was saying is actually true.
All the marines just stand surprised at what I said before Momonga got down on his knees and apologized for what the Marines did to me. Being so surprised at what he was doing made me take a step back and look around for someone help me. Thankfully he didn't do it for long, getting up he let me on the marine ship with Hancock but I have to follow the same rules like everyone else. The marines show us to a room before Hancock asked for food.
Sitting down on one of the couches Luffy comes out of the coat and comes right over to me. Grabbing my scarf he pulls it down so he can look at my mouth. Knowing that he won't let it go I open my mouth and show him.
"How!? You had a tongue back on the island!?" he asked so startled by looking at what he sees. Just as I was about to answer we all hear a knock on the door. Luffy quickly hides back under Hancocks coat. As she goes to answer the door I grab a piece of paper before writing down everything. Ignoring everything around me, I write down everything before lifting up the paper so they can read it.
I bit my tongue off so it would look real and convince that marine captain. The reason why I was able to heal so fast is because of my devil fruit. I healed it to the point so it could look like its been years since it was removed. The reason why I was able to to do that successfully is because that actually happened to me. The story I told is only half of what really happened. It happened a long time ago. The reason why I'm not freaking out over anything is because it will grow back actually. It did before and it will again. However, it takes a lot of energy to so I'm going to take nap. Wake me up if something happens okay?
After they finished reading it I folded the paper and put it in my shirt to hide it. Laying down on the couch I closed my eyes and fell asleep. Wondering if I was going to bump into HIM when we get to Marineford HQ.
Waking up to feeling the ship moving I open my eyes looking around seeing that I'm by myself. Grabbing the pen and paper I leave the room looking for someone who would be in charge. Bumping in to once of young sailors I see how he's terrified of me. Bringing up my hands I write on the paper not sure if he knows sign language. Catching his attention I show him the paper.
Do you know sign language?
Is what I wrote to him as I see how he reads it before looking at me and shaking his head. I just make a humming noise before I start writing again.
Do you know where Hancock is young marine?
Turning the papr back around to him, I see him read silently before looking back up at me before speaking.
"Captain Momonga and Shichibukai Boa are in Impel Down at the moment. We were told to let you know once you woke up. I was actually tasked with coming to check up on you and seeing if you were alright. Did you need anything by the way?" he said as he looked in to my eyes. I write water on the paper before showing him. He nods and tells me to follow him to the galley. Staying aware of my surroundings I follow the young man to the galley where the rest of marines that are on break are. Walking into the room all eyes turn our way watching us. Following him to where the cook is he ask if the cook could give some water for the guest. Looking to me he ask if I want anything else, I just shake my head no. With that the turns to grab a cup and fills it with water.
"Here ya go ma'am" the cook said as he handed me my water. I give a small nod of my head in thanks. " Before ya go here take these" he said as I was already turned around. Turning back around I see he has a fist full of what looks like mints in his hand. Looking at him confused I reach out my hand carefully watching the whole area. All the marines caught how cautious I was, some felt a bit offended (the younger marines) while some thought I had every right to be cautious (the older marines). The cook quickly explained that he thought since I lost my tongue my mouth must get dry quite a bit, so he thought I would like these. Looking back up at him in surprise I give him a closed eye smile not seeing the effect I had on the men. Opening my eyes I see how they all red faces. Mistaking this as them being mad I quickly write down an apology and that I didn't mean to make them mad. Clearing his throat the cook was the one to speakup. "You didn't make us mad missy. It's just not everyday we get to see such a beautiful smile from a lady" hearing this made my face flush red immediately causing the older marines to chuckle at my response. I shake my head at what he said confusing the men. I cover my face and sign that I'm not. The cook, who surprisingly knows sign language, responds back and ask me why I think that. Grabbing my pen and paper I write
I've never been called beautiful so that means I'm not right?
After he read this aloud the way the room feels is different. Looking around I see how most of the guys have a sad look on their faces. Looking back to the cook I sign to him asking why did everyone look sad. He just sigh before answering me.
"They're sad because of what you said. Has no one ever said to you?" he asked me and I just nod my head yes. He sighs and pats my head like I was a little kid. Feeling embarrassed I just thank him for the mints and head up to the main deck. Going to the front of the ship, I set my drink down and put the mints in my pockets. Being outside I finally notice how hot it was, which is what causes me to take off my jacket and set it next to my water. Grabbing my sword I start practicing my moves making sure I don't ever get rusty. Even if they are just basic swords stances, they are a vital foundation of swordsmanship. Not realising that I'm gaining an audience I continue for hours not letting go of the rhythm that I found as I was passing the time waiting for Hancock. As I am practising I didn't realise that Hancock and Momonga had already returned and that we were sailing for Marineford HQ. I am so focused that I didn't realise that we arrived at Marineford.
Letting out a sigh at seeing how focused Luna is in her sword practise, I ponder how I'm going to get her attention. Last time I interrupted her she nearly killed me with one swing. Looking to the right I see the Marine base and see the other Shichibukai arrive when I did. Looking at them made me get a great idea. Inhaling before I speak, "HAWKEYES!" I yell loudly getting the attention of all the men and one swordsman who I needed a favor from. This got the attention of everyone around us. They all stopped to see what was about to happen. The marines on edge because they think we fight, and the pirates excited to see what was about to happen.
"What do you want Snake Empress" Hawkeyes respond in a monotone voice while turning my way.
"I need a favor from you real quick" is all I say but that gains the attention of many since its very well known how I hate men. Seeing his expression turn to one of curiousness he asks what I need. "Well since your a swordsman and you know how focused you can get I was hoping you could get my bodyguards attention. She's extremely focused on her training. I'm not going to interrupt and repeat what nearly happened last time" I finish saying see how everyone seems really interested at what I said.
"What do you mean what almost happened last?" He questioned me as he looked me fully in the eyes waiting for an answer.
"She almost killed me" is what I say making most shocked and others curious. I see him contemplate before answering with a yes.
"Where is she?" he asked me. I just point to the front of the ship, which directed everyone's eyes to Luna. There practicing with an intensity that surprised even the magma mutt Akainu. When ever you could see her eyes they had a fierce and hard look to them. Hawkeyes grabbed the small knife from his necklace, not thinking he even needed to grab his sword Yoru, hopped onto the ship and jumped at Luna to stop her practise. What surprised everyone was that Hawkeyes had to dodge her swing, by jumping backwards. This made Luna charge him off the ship where they continued. Grabbing her items I jump off the ship and stand by Kuma waiting for them to stop. However, with this happening it got the attention of Sengoku and Garp. All of us were surprised that she was keeping up well with Hawkeyes. Dare we say it that they are even in strength which is saying something. Catching Lunas face I see she's not in training mode anymore, she's actually trying to kill him. Why? What caused this development?
Seeing that they paused I quickly call out to Luna. she looks my way surprising me how vibrant her eyes are. Is that because of her devil fruit? I've never seen her become like this. What is going on? I think before seeing Luna look my way and answer.
"What do you want Hancock" she spoke, but as she did her voice kept going back and forth between that of a growling animal and her normal voice. Her voicesents shivers down many spines, but I just remembered how she bit her tongue off. Seeing how Momonga quickly looked at me, I come up with something as quick as I can to keep up the lie. Its silent before I speak up.
"I don't mean to bother your sword practice but were here at Marineford and you weren't responding to my call. Also how can I hear you speak when you have no tongue?" hearing this made everyone shocked at what I said. All looking back to Luna seeing pull down the scarf and opening her mouth showing that had no tongue still. Looking at her face it could be seen that there were scars surrounding her mouth showing how badly it was removed, but when she did that we heard her voice. Of course to everyone else the scars around her mouth are gruesome, but I know how she "lost" her tongue.
"It's all due to my devil fruit" is what she said surprising many. Pulling her scarf back over her face she glares at Hawkeyes before saying something that surprised even me. "I will kill you when this war is done. Prepare yourself you piece of shit!" Luna said before walking to me and grabbing her jacket before putting it on along with the hood on effectively covering her face. However, her eyes can be seen in the shadows staring down Hawkeyes in extreme hate.
"Step in line brat. There is many who want to kill me" is all he said before walking away towards the gallows. We all followed suit and take up or positions. Luna stood behind me staying silent. I was worried about her so I signed to her.
Luna is everything okay? Hancock signed to me in worry. I just nod my head before I signed back to her.
Yeah I'm sorry Hancock. I just...When I saw his face nothing else mattered except killing him. I'm sorry I worried you. I explain why after the war signed back to her not noticing how Hawkeyes watched what we were doing and read what we were signing back to one another. We sit there waiting before Sengoku got all of our attentions. Looking up to the execution stand gave me a surprise like no other there sat Portgas D. 'Fire Fist' Ace, the 2 commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Letting out a small gasp that only Hancock and Hawkeyes heard caused them to look towards me. They see me staring wide eyed at Ace and holding my hand to my chest. Hancock quietly asked if I was okay as to not gain attention from anyone. What I signed not only surprised Hancock but also Hawkeyes who was equally shocked at what I said.
He's one of my Chosen Hancock. He has to survive!
