Truth
I coughed as I realized I was on the Thousand Sunny. I thought I was in heaven at first till I realized I was saved. Sanji was setting by me, his clothes drenched. He must have saved me.
"Sanji why did you save me?" I asked.
"I knew marimo would regret it." He replied calmly.
I stared at him.
"Why would he regret it? He had every right to kill me." I said.
"He loves you. But he is so stupid to realize that. Sure he was mad when you took his sword but there was a connection between you and him that would never be broken." Sanji said as he looked at me.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It couldn't be possible. I mean, I just stole his stuff.
"He doesn't love me." I said.
"Yes he does." He said.
It wasn't true. Only seconds ago he wanted to kill me. He couldn't love me. I looked down. It couldn't be true. It just couldn't. Sanji handed my bag and my sword.
"And plus," He said," I had to save you because you had Luffy's hat."
He got up and walked away. I was left alone, in the state of doubt. I heard more footsteps, but I didn't look up to see who it was.
"Why did you steal are stuff?" The voice demanded. I knew it was Zoro.
"If I tell you, you wouldn't think it was a good enough reason."
"Try me." He said.
"But you can't tell Luffy." I said.
"Fine." He replied.
"Ace...is in prison. They are going execute him. They said if I give them 200,000,000 berries, they will release him." I whispered.
Zoro looked concerned at me.
"We need to tell Luffy." Zoro mumbled.
"We will tell the whole crew then. Zoro can you please go and get them?" I asked.
Zoro nodded and walked off. Minutes later, the rest of the Straw Hats arrived.
"Ace is going to be executed. I need money so I stole your guys stuff." Luffy just stared at me. He couldn't believe it.
"How much money do you need?" Nami asked.
"200,000,000 berries." I said. Everyone was shocked.
I already knew, they couldn't pay.
"What did you just say?" Luffy asked slowly.
"Ace is in prison." I replied, knowing that it was hard to take in.
"No..." Luffy whispered.
Tears were streaming down his face.
I ran over to him a hugged him, "I'm just as sad as you are."
"Where are they keeping him?" He wanted to know. "He's at Marineford in a building called Sacred Tower. Ace's execution is going to be in 8 hours."
"Marineford...We aren't far from there!" Nami said.
"THEN LET'S GO!" Luffy shouted.
They all shouted 'YA' and began to work. I stayed where I was, Zoro right beside me.
"Do you think we will save him?" I asked in a whisper. "Yes." Zoro replied simply. He looked at me. I began to cry. All I wanted to do was save Ace but...it seems like an impossible mission.
"But don't we have to get past CP9?" I asked.
"No, we have to go against five of the seven warlords. They have to protect Ace, so to save him; we have to steal the keys they have." Zoro replied.
I couldn't believe it. Warlords? How could we defeat warlords? I know this is a powerful crew, and that. Luffy defeated 2 warlords. But how are we going to face five of them.
"Marineford is coming into sight!" Nami shouted.
The truth will set you free~
