Chapter 7
W hen I saw the broken window, I froze. W ere they after Iceberg? I jumped through the window to find Luffy and Iceberg, staring at each other seriously. Iceberg had a pistol in his hand and was pointing it at the pirate.
"Robin would never harm someone without a reason. Why would she attack you?"
Strawhat asked him.
"Because she's a manulative woman like me, though I don't really care about those shipwrights plans," I interrupted.
"Kasumi?! I never thought you'd be here," Iceberg said, surprised.
"I'm just glad I wasn't locked up for long. If I had, I might be mentally ill by now," I said. "I see. So why are you here, anyway?" he asked.
"Actually, I came here to claim my belongings," I said as I picked up my fur belt. I went back to the window to leave.
"So now that the marines have been notified of your location, what will you do now?" he asked. I froze. I guess I didn't think that far. Damn. What am I going to do?
" I don't know but you should be ready for a Buster Call because I won't give up so easily," I said as I jumped out the broken window onto the ground. T his should give Luffy a distraction
to get out of there. Us pirates gotta look out for each other. I ran to the backstreets so as to attract the attention of the shipwrights. Luffy jumped out the window and left. Then I ran at fox speed to my hideout. I packed my things and prepared to leave. I knew that if I were ever caught by the marines that my life of freedom would never be seen again.
Now I need to plan what my next move is. Should I go to another town and start over fresh or should I follow my dream to be a pirate and meet my dad?
N ight sets in quickly. The wind grows ever stronger and whistles in my ears as the waves get bigger and more powerful. The Aqua Laguna will be here soon. N ature can be cruel.
I was still nowhere with my plan. I closed my eyes to calm down so I wouldn't do something irrational. Then I remembered Iceberg and how he was almost killed last night. W ill they come back to finish the job? I felt overcome with worry and fear for him. The shipwrights won't be able to protect him. Not even the foreman can beat Cipher Pol 9. I went to the top of the building that overlooks the Galley La company main office. There was an explosion and after that, all hell broke loose.
I rushed into the building and headed for Iceberg's room. Kaku, Lucci, and Paulie were gone but Milestone and Lulu were sitting in front of the door, waiting for me.
"What are you doing here, you criminal?! Have you come back to kill Iceberg now?!" Milestone shouted (like usual).
" I mean no harm to Iceberg. I'm a foreman, too. I came to protect him," I said, "Where's Paulie?"
Before they could say anything, I heard a crash coming from Iceberg's office. S omeone's here.
