Staying or Leaving

A/N: Here's the tenth chapter everyone! Sorry about the wait, I had a lot of homework. Sorry.

Chapter 10: Scavenger Hunt

Luffy grinned as Smoker launched another punch at her, but she easily avoided it. She ran up to punch Smoker at amazing speed, who smiled as he thought the fist would go through him. He was wrong as he felt himself go flying, flattening Marines as he went.

"Pirate scum, what did you do?"

Luffy chuckled, "First time I found a Marine who doesn't know about Haki. And a logia type at that."

Smoker grimaced and the two started to fight. Smoker could barely even protect himself from Luffy's attacks, who wasn't even breaking a sweat. He knew he couldn't beat her; her skill was far better than her bounty proved to be.

Tashigi saw this and immediately rushed over to where the two were battling. She crept up from behind Luffy and slashed down. Luffy quickly managed to roll away, only to be kicked by Smoker. She landed in the fountain, demolishing it, but got up quickly, remaining unfazed. Her two opponents charged at her again, but she transformed partially and took to the air.

She looked around and saw more Marines coming, and they tried to shoot her. She just let out bolts of electricity and knocked out most of the Marines. Smoker, persistent to the end, tried to grab Luffy with his smoke. She flew downards towards the said Captain and slashed at him with her claws fused with Haki and electricity.

The Captain went down, blood flowing from the wound. Luffy turned to the other Marines, daring them to come any closer. The Marines backed off, but it wasn't until the air seemed to drop a few degrees did Luffy feel something was wrong. In mere moments, the water fountain had frozen in ice, and Luffy could make out a tall figure walking casually towards her. As the figure got closer, Luffy knew she was in for another battle, since of course, some divine deity always thought that it would be fun to see Luffy facing some high ranking dudes, again. She didn't even need another moment to figure out that it was Aokiji, Admiral, heading towards her. She sighed and got into a fighting stance. Guess I'll have to fight properly now… thought Luffy.

Suki, who was fighting alongside Nite, looked around as she had noticed the temperature drop. She saw Luffy, and then she saw Aokiji walking to her captain. Knowing that a battle was sure to ensue, she called to Luffy, "Come on Luffy, we gotta go! Don't want to cause too much trouble! And I already got enough supplies for a long while! "

Luffy nodded and ran towards the docks, where their ship was docked. Suki and Nite ran after her, with Marines hot on their heels. As they neared the docks, Nite called out, "Luffy! I need to get my weapons back!"

Luffy just nodded and asked, "Do you know where they are?"

"They were taken and Smoker has them in his office, I think."

"Okay, Suki do you possibly know where his office is?"

"No, but most likely on the upper floors."

Luffy spread her wings, and grabbing on to Nite and Suki, flew towards the Marine HQ. During the flight, Suki noticed how Nite looked. He was wearing a hoodie, with the hood up, without a shirt underneath as it wasn't zipped up. He had long track pants that were stained with blood, and metal lined the sides of the pants, and he wore a metal belt. The belt had deep scratches in them and she noticed a long scar on his chest. Suki was so deep in thought, that when they were about to land, she nearly fell, but Luffy managed to keep a hold on her. Luffy quickly let loose a small bolt of electricity and blasted a hole in the HQ; just the right size for the three to go in by.

Once they had landed inside the HQ, they ran off searching for Nite's weapons. They were being chased by Marines once again, but the trio mostly ignored them.

"What are do your weapons look like?"questioned Suki as they finally made it to Smoker's somewhat clutered and large office.

"Chains, but I'll find them no problem." Nite said, and as he said, he closed his eyes in concetration. His weapon, chains with something like mix of a mace and a grappling hook at the end of both sides, came to him. Luffy and Suki watched in amazement at that and were about to ask about it, when Smoker, Tashigi and the Marines barged in.

Nite grinned and motioned to the pirates to let him take care of it. He started to swing the chains around and got into a fighting stance.

"Torappu o kaesu*!" Nite said, throwing the chains at the Marines at high speed. The Marines ducked and snickered, but Nite grinned as he whispered, "Zangeki o kaesu**."

He pulled his hands back and the chains flew back, slashing at the Marines. None of them were spared and they fell to the floor, injured and bloody.

Before the girls could ask about the chains, Nite hooked them up on his metal belt, and said, "Later. When we're back on the ship."

The trio nodded and Luffy picked them up once more and flew towards their ship. The moment they landed, they began to get ready to leave. It took them a while, but eventually they set sail and once everything was going smoothly, Suki spoke, "So what's your name. You haven't introduced yourself yet."

"Neither have you two." Nite said in reply.

Suki sighed and said, "My name Han D. Suki, and was formerly a Marine Admiral by force and I will not discuss any more of my past. I ate the Henkõ Henkõ no mi, which allows me to change myself and things or people I am touching near invisible by changing myself and them into the same colours as the background. I can also change the substance of whatever I am holding or touching, even into seastone. And the idiot of a captain here," she continued pointing at Luffy, "is Monkey D. Luffy, former Commander of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. They were basically her family and she has a bounty of 350 million beri. She ate the Doragon Doragon no mi. I am not too sure about its abilities, though."

Luffy, seeing their questioning looks just said, "It's a mythical zoan type, and I transform into a dragon. I am fireproof, can blow fire and have control and power over electricity. So what about you, Nite?"

"My name is Juana Nite, and I am an orphan. My family was killed by a Tenryuubito, and I have been on the dark side of the law ever since I have attempted to kill him. That is one of my two goals, the other which I won't tell you. Yet. And before you even ask about the chains, I use a special type of Haki only people of my bloodline can use."

Suki frowned at him. Since he had been on the dark side of the law, could they trust him?

Nite saw Suki's frown and said, "You can trust me. Even though I have been on the dark side for most of my life, I still have honour. I won't kill the people who saved me."

With this he walked away, heading for one of the cabins and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Suki turned to Luffy and asked, "Can we trust him?"

Luffy frowned, "What do you mean? He said we can trust him. I mean, I haven't exactly been on the good side and you trust me, right?" She didn't wait for an answer and went off to her own cabin.

Suki thought over what Luffy had said. She trusted Luffy, and Luffy trusted her. But could the same be said for Nite?

A/N: Sorry for the really lame ending and the long wait. I was typing this on my phone and I ended up re-typing this three times. Anyways, thanks for reading! And I hope you can review or give me ideas! Thanks!
