X – Unearthing

"You have to tell me," Shanks says, looking at the black haired boy, tied in chains. "What happened that night?"

"What night?" Luffy asks, looking at him with a dark look in his eyes. "I have no clue what you're talking about." He struggles against the binds and scowl at Doflamingo, sitting in the corner, drinking a nice glass of brandy. "I'll kill you Mingo. I'll fucking kill you, Mingo."

Shanks rubs his eyes, tempted to have another shot of moonshine, but he knows if he does nothing will make any sense. But, this kid is driving him insane with all of his ramblings and unjustified threats that seem to have no bite behind them. At this point, Shanks is actually tempted to send him off to Chopper for a lobotomy. He's done with trying to solve this mystery.

It's over. He'll never know.

Over in the corner, Doflamingo holds onto the fear that someone will out him. To tell the world about what he has done. It's insane, and frightening at the same time. But at this point, he's pushing for Luffy to have a lobotomy. His secret will be safe if Luffy is unable to speak or think. That's all I can hope for, he thinks as he downs his glass of brandy, pouring himself another one. At this point.

"Please, can you just tell me?" Shanks pleads. "I need to know."

"I WILL BECOME THE PIRATE KING AND I'LL KILL YOU!" Luffy shouts, straining himself against the chains. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIENDS!?" All of his shouting falls on deaf ears as Doflamingo ignores him, looking away. "I'LL KILL YOU!" Luffy screams till his voice becomes hoarse. With that, Doflamingo takes his leave, not before dropping some papers down on Shanks' desk. With wide eyes, suddenly sober, Shanks stares at the approved papers for a lobotomy on one, Monkey D. Luffy. Looking at the tangled boy, he just stares at the big bold personality Luffy holds.

It'll be gone in a blink of an eyes.

"Come on Luffy," Shanks says. "Last chance. Why? Why are you acting like this?"

"That man," Luffy says, in a voice not his own. It's deeper, and angry and coated in seriousness. "That man is nothing but a cold hearted murderer. Run while you can."

In the office, Chopper looks over Luffy's medicial record, already prepping for the procedure. As much as he doesn't want to, he knows that he has to. Chopper is nothing but a slave to Doflamingo. One day, someone will tear his empire down. But that isn't going to happen any time soon.

Little does Chopper know, someone did. In fact a group of someones tried. Too bad three of them died in a blaze set up by none other than Doflamingo.

Inside Doflamingo's office, he holds a sheet of paper, the documents of what truly went down that night. A horrific accident that shouldn't have happened. If those damn kids didn't interfere... Then maybe... It doesn't matter now, the past has been done and those bodies? They're gone. Burnt away in the wind. It's easy for him to cover up something like that. The witnesses are too shell shocked to really do anything. Usopp outing Doflamingo? That's just silly. Before Usopp could even open his mouth, Doffy will send that asshole of a father onto him. Beating him into submission.

It's just so easy to get away and with that approved medical procedure already being prepared. Nothing will stop him from keeping his secret safe.

Nothing at all.

Holy crap guys. I'm so sorry for my unexplained hiatus. Well, I could explain, what more do I have to lose? I was writing a novel, and hoping that it will get published. So I'm working hard on that. That's why I haven't been updating. Again I apologize for that. I like writing fan fiction and I like writing for everyone to read. Please keep reading, I'll try to post more regularly.

In other news, I have invested in a Tumblr, if you'd like to follow me I'll link it down below.

Thank you for the reviews/Likes/Favourites! And I'll see you all again, hopefully soon. (The story is coming to an end! Noo!)

Adieu!
