Here is chapter 10! I added indicators of who's point of view is on each part out of a request, so I hope it helps! I forgot to translate the meaning of the Latin phrase that I put on last chapter, so I'll put the meaning now. "Diei et noctis aeternae" means "The eternal night and day". It will have quite some relevance later on, so here it is the meaning so you can think about it ;D Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and thank you all for all of the favs, alerts and reviews on this story. Thank you all for reading it too! =D

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, Oda-sama does. I do own the plot of this story though.

Ace's POV:

I had managed to get into the library of the government headquarters after looking a lot around and hiding myself for an amount of time that had seemed to be too long, until I found a room where the uniforms destined to be wore by the guards were kept. It was then when I had the wonderful idea to change into one and start making my way to where the library should be by exploring the place without the need to hide so much. I was still carrying my bad, but thankfully it wasn't noticed too much by the real guards of the place.

It took me some time, but I soon found where the archives I was looking for was by listening to a group of guards talk, and I immediately made my way to the top of the building, where the library was. When I arrived I noticed that there was only one guard guarding the door.

"What do you want?" He asked as soon as he saw me.

"I was asked by the admiral Aokiji to get several archives from the library" I immediately said in a confident and loud tone of voice.

The man looked at me for a very short time before letting me go into the room. "Very well, feel free to go in" He said, as we stepped to a side while opening the door.

I nodded and stepped inside, trying to look as much as I could to a normal guard of the building. The door soon was closed behind me, so I supposed that I had done a good job at deceiving the man. I started looking around me and at every shelf that I could see at the moment that was in the room. All were loaded with all kinds of documents, perfectly ordered, but piled on the shelf to its limits. I started going around, and noticed that each shelf was clearly labelled with the kinds of contents that was on it. I walked around for a bit, looking at each shelf and wondering where I should start. I suddenly saw one that was named "Government affairs", and decided to start checking through that one.

I went towards said shelf, and started going through all the files. They were all of the same brown colour, and each file had numerous papers inside. I started picking up the files and leaving them in small piles on the floor as I went through them, stopping several times to look at the contents of a few ones, but finding nothing. By the end of the small searching I had done on this shelf there was a small 'lake' of files on the flor, and I started putting them back to the shelf, but not in the same order as they were before, since that order was long gone. I went towards another shelf, and repeated this process, but finding nothing yet again. Many minutes passed during which I continued searching with no result, until I came across a particular shelf that had "vampires" written on it.

"It better be this one" I thought as I went towards it, after 'ordering' the files of another shelf that I had just gone through.

I started looking through it, and just then the sound of the door opening echoed through the whole room, followed by the sound of female steps.

"How bad can my luck be?" I wondered as I continued searching through the files at an incredible speed, trying to find what I was looking for before the person that had just entered the room saw me.

Soon I heard some steps behind me, and I soon could sense the presence of a human right behind me. Soon she spoke, confirming my suspicions that I would be soon discovered as not being a member of the government.

"You aren't from the government" I heard the woman behind me say. I sighed, and continued looking through the files, trying to find what I was looking for in a desperate attempt to get out of the room soon. What had given me away? Was it the way I wore the uniform? My bag? How I was searching for the files? or was it something else entirely?

"You are a vampire, not a member of the government" I heard the woman say again, with a higher tone of voice.

"Now, this is different..." I thought as I turned around to look at the woman, with my left eyebrow raised and a grin on my face that revealed my fangs. "Oh really?" I said to the woman as I did this.

I looked at her for several seconds. She was quite slim, had short orange hair and brown eyes and was wearing a government uniform. However there was something strange about her. She had known how to recognise what I was, when usually a very small amount of guards knew how to recognise a vampire. The only humans that were known to know how to recognise vampires were the hunters, so was she one of them?

"Neither are you" I stated with the grin still on my face, looking at her. She decided to ignore this my comment and continue talking.

"Why are you here?" She then questioned, with a commanding tone of voice.

I decided to ignore this and turn around to continue looking through the archives. She really didn't look too strong, and I was sure that I would be able to defeat her with no problems if she decided to attack me.

"You are a hunter, aren't you?" I asked some time later, feeling her anger grown.

She gritted her teeth a bit before answering. "Yes, but what are you doing here, vampire?" She questioned again.

I sighed, annoyed, and decided to answer her before she repeated the question again. "Probably the same thing that you are meant to do here" I replied with a simple tone of voice, as I continued looking at her.

She didn't do anything for several moments, and continued staring at me. "What group are you from?" She then asked, clearly not expecting my answer.

"Whitebeard's" I simply answered. She was clearly here for the same reason as I was. There were no other possible reasons to be here, but why were the hunters interested in the same thing?

She stared at me, thinking of what to do when she then started walking through the files on the shelf I had been looking at before she had interrupted me and started going though them calmly.

"Yiu better be quick to find what you want, apparently we both used the same excuse to get in here" She then said. "They will start suspecting soon" She then added, as she continued her labour.

I was surprised by this and I immediately turned around to face again at the shelf and started looking through the files. We were both like this for quite a long time, until we found several files with titles on them that read "Blackbeard" and other similar files on the main vampire groups. I got hold of one of them and started checking it. It was one about one of the other vampire groups and mainly a report about action that had been taken against it... with the aid of the Blackbeard Vampires. I grinned when I finished checking it. This was just what I had wanted to find. I saw from the corner of my eye that the woman had a similar expression on her face. It was then when we heard several knocks on the only door of the room, and immediately after that the voices of several guards and what seemed to be an important person were heard out of the room.

"Shit" I muttered, realising what was going to happen.

"They got us" The woman muttered then, as she looked around the room, searching for an exit, but finding none.

I looked around the room too for another possible exit, but then I realised that I would find none, and for a very obvious reason. "We're in the top floor" I said aloud, trying then to find another way of escaping that didn't mean having to fight my way back down and being discovered. The woman realised this too, and looked at me with horror. it was a few seconds later when both of our eyes ended up on the massive windows of the room, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.

"The window!" I thought with a grin, as I started going towards it. The orange haired woman looked at me, waiting to see what I was going to do. I opened the window and looked down. It was very high, and there wasn't a river anywhere soon. Luckily the walls had many pieces of stones and rocks that were sticking out, and that made it possible to climb down or hide in this way from the guards for a bit. I touched the walls around the enormous window for a bit, smiling since I had just found a way out. I got hold of the file again, opened the bag I had been carrying and put it away inside the bag. Since it was daytime, I would have to wear some more protection against the sun than the simple hat that was included in the guards uniform, so I got out the cloak that I had been wearing hours earlier and ut it on, making usure that it covered every inch of my skin.

"Are you really going to do that?" The woman then asked, as she saw me nearing the window again.

"Yes, but feel free to use any other escaping method that you can think of" I replied before I sat on the window and very carefully started hanging from it, making sure that I had enough rocks sticking out of it so I could climb down. I knew that I could wait for the guards inside the room to go away, but there wasn't any guarantees that they would let us out then, and I wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible, since I already had what I wanted. When I had finally finished doing this I started to slowly climb down, thankful that I was climbing down through a part of the . I looked up again several minutes later after I had started doing this and saw that the red haired woman had started climbing down too. The voices of the guards as they entered the room could be heard too, and also their cries of surprise as they saw that there was no one in the room, that most archives were completely disorganized and that all the windows were open.

It took me about an hour to get to the floor again, and by then it was already night time. I noticed that the woman that I had met in that room was still climbing down at a slower pace than I was, but that was due to me being a vampire and having more strength. "Now I just have to find a way to get out of this town" I uttered to myself, as I started walking through the streets.

Usopp's POV:

I ran through the streets of the very small town where Shanks had told me that I would find the person I had to deliver his message to. Where I would find Whitebeard. I hadn't asked him how he knew where whitebeard would be though, but I was curious by now. Had they contacted each other before, or maybe there were several spies inside their organisation? I shook my head, trying to clear it from all of the strange thoughts that I was getting. There were definitely no spies inside Whitebeard's organisation, and there clearly hadn't been any contact between both organisations before if I was being sent to deliver a message. If there had been any communications between them then this would be completely irrelevant and useless. But how did he know then?

"It probably was a lucky guess. Both have known each other for quite a long time after all." I thought, as I continued running through the streets of the town where Whitebeard supposedly was. "But how am I supposed to find where that man is?" I then asked aloud, making the few half drunk people that were walking through the abandoned streets of this town to look at me. I looked at some of them, but immediately decided to continue walking. I didn't want to waste time here for too long, since I still had to deliver the message, and to do that I had to find the place in the first place.

I continue running through the streets, trying at first to see or find a vampire, but after some time it became clear that I wouldn't be able to do that, and that it didn't make sense to reveal your location in such an easy way if you were wanted by the government and strange things had been happening lately concerning the other vampire groups. I then sat down on a bench in a completely abandoned street, trying to think about what I should do to find the place.

"Shanks said that it was in this place, and that it's exact location was 'obvious'" I muttered, as I tried to think about what he had meant exactly. "But what is 'obvious'?" I continued muttering, as I thought about the options. "Maybe it is marked with some sort of sign" I then said as I got up, decided to find this place. "I won't manage to do anything useful if I continue sitting down here, so I better get up and search for the place" I then said to myself, as I started walking through the streets, looking closely at every detail that I could find.

Time passed and as the night came to an end I didn't manage to find anything. I was starting to get tired, and I had the paranoid feeling that I was being watched by someone. I sat on a bench again, that this time was in a park where during the day children would usually play. It brought bad good memories from when I was a child, but this park had a dark aura around it that made me feel unsafe and as if I was about to be attacked at any moment.

"I wonder where it is..." I mused aloud, as I continued thinking. I hadn't found a single thing. Not a strange mark, house or individual. This was the most normal looking town that I had seen in my entire life. There was nothing suspicious about it. Not. A. Thing. I continued sitting down, as I thought of what I could do. Nothing came to my mind, but as I tried to think of something I heard a group of two drunk people talking.

"I swore I saw a shadow move" I heard one say as he tried to walk well through the street. He didn't receive a reply from the other man, but I soon was curious about what they had meant. "I swore it was in that house! I swear it was!" He repeated again, this time to only be hit in the head by the other man.

I continued sitting down for while after they left, and then decided to go to the other direction they had gone through before, and try to find what that man had meant.

"He was drunk, for god's sake!" I muttered to myself as I walked through the street they had been previously walking through. "Why am I even doing this?" I then asked aloud, only to soon answer my own question. "Because I don't have a single other idea" I muttered then.

I walked through the street, this time more calmly, listening to every sound around me. I soon passed by a closed bar, but as I was passing by I heard a distant laughter.

"But it is very late, how can there possibly be..." I muttered, as I looked at the bar and started going towards it.

When I was in front of it I saw that the door seemed to be locked, but weren't like that in reality. Then I heard it again. The faint noise of someone laughing.

"Maybe I shouldn't enter" I thought, as I felt my feet shaking wildly. "Who knows who or what is inside there..." I continued muttering as I stood in front of the door. "No, I have to do this" I then said to myself again, remembering what Shanks had told me. It was an important mission! I had to be a brave warrior!

I slowly pushed the door of the bar open, trying to make no sounds at all, but as soon as I started doing this a loud 'creaaaaaaak' was heard. I cursed under my breath by bad luck, surely anyone that was inside would know my presence by now. I entered the room, noticing how the floor squeaked as I moved around the bar. There wasn't too much light, but the little light that illuminated the room was enough for me to see that this bar was covered in dust, and seemed to have been completely abandoned for a very long time. But I had heard a distant laugher coming from here, so how was that possible? I walked around the room until I found something that resolved my question. On one of the tables there was a bottle that was completely clean and without a single spot of dust on it. I went towards it and touched it, only to find that it moved only to ones side. As soon as it had moved I heard the sound of clattering machinery and soon a part of the wall had moved silently, revealing a set of well illuminated stairs. I went towards the stairs, with my legs shaking again, and as I started descending them I heard more voices.

"The door opened, I wonder who entered" One of them said

"Maybe it was Ace or Marco returning" Another said.

"No, it's too early for that" The first voice said again. "It must be another one, I also don't feel that person to be one of 'us'" The voice then finished saying.

I gulped as I finished going down the stairs, and looked at the door that now was in front of me, and that led to the room where the laugher that I had first heard came from and where Whitebeard could be in. I gulped again as my hand grabbed the knob of the door and gathered all my strength and courage before I started opening the door.

As soon as I had finished doing this I saw a very large set of eyes looking at me, with surprise, hate and... hunger.

"A human!" One shouted, as another one. As another vampire leaped at me and pinned me against a wall.

"What do you want here? Do you work for the government?" He asked.

I shook my head desperately. "No, I just come to deliver a message to Whitebeard" I said, as I felt my legs shaking again.

"From who? Tell us!" He then asked, with a veyr loud and demanding voice.

I was about to answer when I heard a powerful voice come from another side of the room that couldn't e seen from the door. "Let him see me, we will lose nothing for it. Plus, he says he wants to deliver a message" The voice finished saying then

"Okay pops" The man said, before he let me go.

I went to the other side of the room, and there I saw a very tall vampire that was very well built that had several medical devices attached to him and a very big coat on him. I couldn't help but look at his strange moustache too.

"So, what message do you want to give me and who is it from?" The man then asked.

I gulped as I looked at the legend before me. I was in front of Whitebeard, one of the most powerful vampires there was in the world. One of the leaders of the three vampire groups. "I have a message from Shanks" I started saying.

The man looked surprised at me, waiting for me to continue.

"He wanted me to tell you that he requests for you to meet him soon" I then finished saying, not being able to stop looking at the man.
