Chapter Four: Alliance Once More
There were more guards coming in the Day Care and the kids were already in the carriage and ready to go. They rode away but there were more of them blocking the entrance. My mission is to get them out of here. "Tails, I want you to take all of them out now." Tyra said, petting him. "I will meet you outside. I promise…" She jumped towards the entrance and gripped on her umbrella. She pulled the handle and a thin blade came out of it. She sliced through them. "GET OUT OF HERE! I WILL CATCH UP WITH ALL OF YOU!" She sliced through more men in order for them to leave. This is my mission and I am going to do it right.
"I am in love." Saul said. A beautiful girl that can fight with and without a sword, so cool…
"What?" Ace and Sabo said.
"Nothing…" Saul said. Tails went through the door and Tyra was left to fight off the guards. I can't let her fight this all by herself. "Sabo… Ace… Make sure they make it to the ship. I am going to help Tyra get out."
"Fine but be safe." Sabo said.
"And don't get lost." Ace added.
"I AM NOT GOING TO GET LOST!" Saul screamed. He then jumped off the carriage and swung his blade towards the guards. Tyra was surprised to see him. "Can I join you?"
"Saul, you are supposed to be with the others." Tyra said. "I can handle this by myself."
"I am not leaving you behind." Saul said. He then started to blush. "I mean… Well…" She then let out a giggle.
"You are the most sweetest guy I have ever met." Tyra said, smiling. "I am happy I have some company to fight them off. So shall we?"
"Yeah, let's kick some butt." Saul said, smiling back at her.
Ussop launched a plant that produces sleeping powder and it showered all over Kuina. She drifted to sleep and Robin caught her before she fell. "Kuina…" Robin said, cupping her face. She was sleeping peacefully in her arms. "Oh Kuina…"
"You are going to pay for taking my daughter." I said. I was about to knock him out but Law stopped me. "What?"
"I need him alive." Law said.
"What for?" I asked. "Are you using him for another bargaining chip?"
"Oh no, he needs me because his wife is going to die." Caesar teased. "So you still can't find a cure for that poison I gave her. It is only a matter of time that her heart stops beating." Law glared at him and in a split second sliced out his heart. "GIVE THAT BACK TO ME!"
"Shut it." Law said, squeezing his heart. Caesar gushed out blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Bastard…" Caesar said. "You took everything from me even my prize experiment." Luffy punched him to the point that he was unconscious.
"Sorry, I was tired of listening to him." Luffy said.
"I agree…" Law said.
"How bad is Ashalita?" I asked. He didn't bother to turn. He was busy wrapping Caesar in chains.
"There is nothing to worry about. I found a cure for the poison so she will be fine." Law said. "I came to gather information." He then dragged him. "But first things first, let me treat your daughter."
"Still, we want to see her." Nami said. "She was a good friend."
"Then we will set course to my home." Law said. "Well, let's go. The children are waiting for us."
"Children?" Franky asked.
"Like Punk Hazard, Caesar collected children for his experiments. He already succeeded with your daughter." Law said.
"What did he do to her?" '
"A devil fruit user, immune to seawater like my wife…" Law said. "My wife and I dedicated our lives to stop this project but she can't anymore." We didn't say a word after that. We can see how hard it was for him to keep a straight face when he talked about Ashalita. I can see in his eyes he was worried and if I was in his shoes, I would probably be the same way.
We walked out the base and Kuina was in my arms once more, asleep. "Thanks for saving us." I said. Law turned to me.
"I know how it feels to lose your sacred treasure." Law said. Sacred Treasure? Again with the mystery and metaphors, this guy… Somehow it is hard to understand him. "I need your trust to operate on your daughter."
"If it keeps her away from danger than I have no choice but to trust you. Also, we have been allies before so I trust you complete." I replied.
"Then I promise that your daughter will be safe." He replied. We made it out and found children on our ship including ours. I was happy that they were okay but I was worried that Kuina wasn't. Ace and Sabo raced towards us.
"KUINA!" They screamed.
"Boys, she is going to be okay but we have to do something to her." I said. "Wait, where is Saul?"
"He stayed to fight alongside this girl name Tyra." Sabo answered.
"But she was dressed up as a boy." Ace said. "She is so cool."
"OH SABO! ACE!" Nami screamed, hugging her sons tightly. "OH I THOUGHT I LOST YOU BOTH!" She kissed all around their face.
"Mom, we are fine." Sabo said.
"We kicked butt today." Ace said. Luffy stretched his arms around his family and lifted them in the air.
"I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE ALL OKAY!" Luffy cheered. His sons and wife was laughing in his embrace. "LET'S GO HOME!"
"YEAH!" They replied loudly.
"But Saul is still inside." Robin said. Then a large fox like creature raced towards Law. "LAW, WATCH OUT!" He pounced on him but the beast shrunk and was on his shoulder. "What is that?"
"He is a friend. Tails, where is Ty?" He asked. The foxtail replied and it made Law worried. Law touched his ear. "Ty, where are you? Ty…Ty, do you read me?" Law gripped his fists. He turned to the entrance. "I have to go back in." Ty? This must be his partner or something but he looks so worried about him. He must be important.
"I will come with you." I said. "My son is still in there." But it wasn't long that an explosion came out of the entrance. There was smoke everywhere and I was worried but there were two figures in that smoke. When the smoke cleared, there was Saul next to a girl with long black hair and her eyes seem somewhat familiar. "SAUL!"
"DAD!" He screamed, racing towards me. "MOM!" He raced into Robin's embrace and smiled when he saw Kuina. "She is okay…" He started to cry. "I am so happy."
"I told you that we will get her back." I said. Then a girl that I don't even know raced towards Law and hugged him tightly. This is the first time I ever saw a child hug him. I mean come on, he doesn't look like a person that loves children.
"Ty, I told you to always answer me when I call you. You made me worried sick." Law said, hugging her back. "I almost had a heart attack because of you."
"I am sorry. I lost my earpiece when I was fighting." She said. She let out a frown when she found a worried look. "I am sorry, please forgive me." He kneeled in front of her and cupped her face.
"Ty, I was very worried. I don't want to lose you." Law said. "You are so important to me."
"I know." Tyra said. "I love you too Daddy." Then Tails jumped on her head. "Hey Tails, I told you that I was coming back."
"Daddy?" We all said.
"Why is it hard to see me as a father?" Law asked, letting out a sigh. He got up on his feet. "Ty, this is the Strawhats. I formed an alliance with them."
"Oh Yes, you parted ways after the Green Bit incident and then you met Mommy." Tyra said. "It is nice to meet you all. My name is Tyra W. Law." She then looked up on her head. "And this is Tails." Tyra, why does that name sound familiar?
"She looks like Ash but with black hair." Luffy said, letting out a chuckle. "Well, I will give you all a lift home."
"Cool, I get to sail in a pirate ship." Tyra cheered. "Tails, we are going to be like real pirates."
"How about the kids, what are we going to do with them?" Nami asked.
"I already made arrangements for that." Law said. In the distance, a Marine ship was heading towards them.
"THE MARINES ARE HERE!" Chopper, Ussop, Brook, and Franky screamed.
"Not to worry, they are here for the kids." Law said. "Ashalita made a deal with Smoker." The ship came their way and Smoker was staring at them with daggering eyes. "It is nice to see you again."
"Shut it Law, I am only here for the children." Smoker said.
"Oi, Smoker!" Luffy said, waving at him.
"What the hell he is doing here?" Smoker asked.
"It is a long story but the children are here for you." Law said. "Ty, you know what to do."
"Yes Daddy…" Tyra said, racing towards the ship. She jumped and landed on the edge of the ship. The children turned to her and found a smile on her face. "Okay everyone, this ship is going to take you all home. So let's get going."
"YEAH!" The children cheered. Marine soldiers helped the children get up the ship. Saul, Ace, and Sabo helped said their goodbyes. Some of the boys were flaunting around Tyra and Saul would scare them away from a deadly stare. "GOODBYE! THANK YOU!" Tails jumped off of head and grew bigger. Tyra climbed on its' back.
"You know what to do." Tyra said. Tails grabbed Caesar with his teeth and leaped in the air and landed on the Marine Ship. She was in front of Smoker. "Hello Smoky…"
"It's Smoker…" He said. All the Marines were aiming their guns at her. "Lower your weapons. She is only a child."
"But she is also a pirate."
"I said lower your weapons…" Smoker snapped. They all did and Smoker let out a sigh. "So what do you want kid?"
"My mom said thank you for agreeing to our terms and also she wants me to give you this." Tyra said, giving him a flash drive. "This contains all of Caesar's research even his recent experiments plus we have him right here." Tails let Caesar go and he was mumbling with fear.
"Thanks… Well get off the ship… I don't want a pirate staining it." He said. She let out a giggle. "Also, tell your mother that if she even tries to steal data from us, I will throw her in prison myself."
"Okay… Bye Smoky…" Tyra said.
They jumped off the ship and landed on Sunny. "ALRIGHT YOU MAGGOTS, LET TAKE THESE KIDS HOME!" Smoker screamed.
"YES SIR!"
