Thanks to everyone who supports this story. I don't own OP and the characters.
Thanks Crystalbluefox for constantly reviewing for my chapters and for making me feel like this story -unfortunately- has to end... though I would like to tell her that I would love to kill Luffy just to kill Creed! So If I must I will !!!! Thanks for the reviews and for the support everyone!!!!
Here is the next chapter everyone, not as demented as the last one but I think I pulled it off! OMG Close to the end of this contest!
Nami looked over, holding Choppers head above the water, at the hand in front of her face before she allowed it to drag her on board. She breathed heavily before looking at the villagers and their weapons.
"W-what are you g-going to do?" she said before she noticed she was shaking horribly.
"We are going to destroy the contract that was signed over the war our God fought tell his death… the contract in which your fool of a captain took upon his shoulders with that name of D." the man, who Nami saw was identical to Zoro, said to her as he looked at the receding boat. "I fear that this time we might not save him." Nami watched his face as he turned to look at her before smiling softly. "Don't worry; we were already aware this would happen, it is why we tried desperately to send you away before he found his blood relative."
Nami only nodded before felt something thrown at her. "Huh?" It was one of the women that was on the small ship. She had quickly dragged Nami and Chopper into the small rooms on the boat before quickly stripped while the clothe was wrapped around her in a toga fashion.
"Do not worry; it is custom that we dress the outsiders in the togas of traitors." The women said before leaving, after putting a similar toga on Chopper, out the door to help catch up to the two people on the ship.
Zoro coughed up more blood as he kneeled before Creed as the man looked down at him, holding his arm so the broken limb wouldn't fall to the floor due to the original body's rubber ability. It made Zoro curse a few times he tried to paralyze the man due to Luffy's devil fruit ability but it also gave him a plan, it had given him one but he forgot Creed's brain. It was always thinking always going faster than his body could move. It had been a miracle for him to actually win against him but this time it would be different.
Luffy was still inside him, he was positive of it. "I don't feel like doing this anymore." Creed said as he straightened his back. Zoro felt his mouth widened before he saw gear second being used.
"Impossible…" Zoro began only to feel his body being lifted off the deck and thrown into the air before smashed down into the deck again. His body was wracked in pain before his vision turned white for a few seconds. And Zoro knew that was all Creed needed was those few seconds.
"I don't feel like playing Zoro, not after how long I've waited to get you back from that fiend." Zoro glanced up from his position as he clutched his stomach before he saw the foot inches from his face. He couldn't avoid Luffy's attacks… Creeds attacks. This was a whole new concept for him after… what?
"Zoro." Creed's fce came into view after blinking a few times. He was sitting, leaning, in front of Zoro before he ran his hand threw the short green hair the swordsman had. "I don't want to do this anymore, you should know that. I don't want to kill you like I had to kill everyone else." Zoro only felt empty as he looked into Creeds face, the face that still reminded him of Luffy his captain.
"Creed…" Zoro coughed out before the santoryuu god got up slowly, seeing if he actually could before he was struck down again. "The past is over… it… it isn't the same anymore."Creed's face turned red as he slammed Zoro's face into the ground, keeping it like that while adding more pressure.
"No! We are still alive that means the past isn't dead! THAT MEANS WE'RE STILL TOGETHER!" Zoro felt his lungs screaming for air before everything lost its color and the sound became a high pitched noise before nothing got threw.
Except, "I want this to end."
Ussop looked around before picking up the teapot that Sanji had set down a while ago and poured himself a cup of the chestnut tea that the villagers had given them to warm up on. It had been weird to wake up feeling betrayed but after they had told he and Sanji had proved it to him with facts- and a horrible bruise around his neck that had robbed him of his voice after he had finished with the whole explanation- that Ussop thought that if he was telling the truth that the crew.
"How could this have happened?" he said after he set the still not drank tea on the table before putting his head on his hands and began to cry. It was hard on him, every time he thought of how they came to this island to have the crew practically broken. "Why did this happen?"
Sanji looked out at the ship as he saw the two moving figures. They were close enough that they could somewhat see what was happening and for some reason it bothered him that neither … that man or Zoro had spotted themß start à yet even though they were so close. How was it possible that they would be so-
"Shit!" Sanji turned on his heel and quickly strolled into the main room where he, Ussop, and Robin were put before he looked at the sniper crying on his hands while Robin was still a sleep. "Ussop." The sniper didn't respond so Sanji tired again his voice louder before he got the teens attention. "Ussop I need you to check something for me." Nodded quickly Ussop got up and followed Sanji out the door and to the spot he had been standing.
"What is it?" Ussop looked at the ship before noticing something odd also, they were too close. "What is going on over there?" Ussop began only to notice that he only could see the shadow of one person. Using his binoculars he noticed it was Luffy- or whoever it was not- and he was carrying Zoro who looked like a pile of crushed bones and blood. "ZORO!"
Sanji cursed as he saw Ussop's reaction and knew that what he was thinking as he stood here earlier was true. Zoro and that thing had fought and Zoro was in no condition in the beginning to even move.
"We need to do something." He mumbled before exhaling the smoke from his cigarette into the air.
"But …what?" Ussop lowered his head as Sanji raised his face to look at the sky both wondering the same thing.
How do you save someone from the past?
Kuina looked down at the paper fan in her hands before she felt the tears trailing down her face. How many years has she carried this burden? Carried this lie and sin inside her heart and lied to her lover and her family, to the gods and to the man who now held a piece of her soul trapped in his grasp?
There was no way she would be forgiven when she saw Creed again. It was impossible for her to make emends for something so horrible that those souls trapped on the island would ever look at her without the loath and disgust in their eyes.
"I've done something terrible to those two for my pity needs." She clinched the fan tightly before looking at the ship that they were closing in on. It was not as fast as it was supposed to be but from the look of its mast the ship was broken.
Creed looked down at Zoro as he set him on the bed before pulling out some of Nami's shirts to staunch the bleeding. "Stupid man always doing this." Creed smiled softly before he felt a chill run down his spine as he heard Luffy shout in his head furious at what he had done to his nakama.
He was fussing and Creed felt the pain of every mental attack raining down on his body. This boy was trying to forcibly throw him out or worse kill him.
"HE'S NOT YOURSE MUGIWARA!" Creed shouted into the air before running out of the room and smashing anything in his way, screaming at the top of his lungs. "HE IS MINE! ALWAYS, NO ONE WILL TAKE HIM AGAIN, NOT YOU OR THAT HAG OF A WOMAN!" Creed huffed for a few seconds as his eyes tried to bring foreth the image he was now seeing behind his ship. The ships form the island were coming in fast and it would be impossible for him to out run them.
Looking at the mast he spat at it with disgust: impossible due to the earlier fight which nearly snapped it in half. So with slight defeat he turned to look at the ship and wait for the first one to come.
Zoro groaned as he turned onto his side, his stomach felt as if he had been hit with a sledge hammer and his head felt like a rooster had ca-ca-doo-dal-doo-ed by it for the past year or so before being cut into chicken strips and deep friend and dunk in hot-expired- sauce before he ate it and repeating the process with the urge to hurl.
He had been feeling like this a lot on this trip to this out of the way green haired people island, he mused before he got enough courage to open one eye only to close it in a quick flash at seeing blond hair and a smirk.
"Oi Zoro." Sanji's annoying voice said before he heard something else in the background that sounded like his old friends from when he use to be a god, "Hey, why is there a set of lace underwear in you things?" Zoro at first believed they were talking to Sanji and thought it would be so typical for the cook to be so perverted to do something like that before they called his name asking him again the question before he shot out of bed to see with his own eyes wide opened that a pair of lacy under wear was indeed in his stuff before he turned to look at his friends to shout at them…
They were not there, as he turned to look at them they seemed to vanish in smoke before he heard a voice, Luffy's voice mixed with that of Creeds say in that deadly calm, pissed off, voice they both seemed to share before all this crazy screwed up situation happened.
"Bang, you're dead. Or something like that." The first part was definitely more Creed in control before Luffy came in and said the last thing for knowing the teen captain of their crew he didn't understand the meaning behind those words.
"Luffy?" he mumbled out in pain before he felt a cold hand pressed to his forehead until he heard soothing whispers into his ear. "Hot." He coughed out before he felt some unknown urge to cry.
Who were those people who had called him, told him of those perverted underwear the cook probably shoved in his draw sometime last trip at the… the… where were they? Where was it that they had stopped at?
It felt weird but he felt something yanking his clarity of his life out of his hand, telling him that he had no right to bear such an unbearable curse placed on them. That he would be free when he woke up again.
Free… free of their bounded soul and pain… that when they were to see each other next life time that they would be happy together, happy for once.
"Kuina?" with that he felt his soul, mind, and body slip past his grip of some kind before he knew he was nothing.
He was dead.
Sanji howled in pain as he fell back onto he deck before he saw the explosion sent by Ussop at Luffy who simply avoided it. It felt almost impossible to stop or get around the man until more ships came. How was it that this man could use Luffy's attacks better then Luffy himself could, Sanji thought before he was forced to dodge another of the extended arms but he had been to slow in his reaction that the fist connected with his shoulder sending his spin on a sharp piece of wood before he felt it sticking out of his chest. Pain ripped threw him before he heard Ussop and some of the villagers yelling at him and grabbing his arms to drag him to the ship and abandon their mission to save him.
Luffy stood looking at him before saying, "I am Creed, chief." And he began laughing as Sanji rose his brow "What happened to your eyebrows?"
Luffy watched mortified by what he was forced to do to his own Nakama. First he had tried to kill Zoro then … his crew… it was all spiraling downhill after he had drunk that poison. It had been that, Luffy thought, that gave the spirit permission to enter him.
Then when he had strangled Sanji, beat Zoro to a pulp and smashed his head in more than it already was Luffy known it was enough before screamed at the other screamed at him to leave before he did something he would never regret.
Of course it didn't believe him, until he actually thought of each of his attacks with such detail that he never knew he had and saw that it was working.
"When you get rejected more than once, it really doesn't matter anymore. You become immune to hurt, I suppose." The voice said before Luffy felt something pin his tying his hands to something scolding and … Luffy screamed as he felt sea water crawling up his legs.
"Die, Monkey D. Luffy." It was then that Luffy noticed that time had passed in hours in the outside world.
Sanji had been stabbed and his voice spoke the man's name, "…Creed..." and that was all he could remember as he lost all of his strength.
