SCREW THE SCHEDULE! It's getting too hard to make these updates and all when you've got family to take care of and your not even in your home time zone. So, Chapter 12 will go online when I'm back in the USA. The other chapters following will go up whenever I feel like it. I'm sorry for straying from the schedule but some things have come up that need my full attention, so I haven't had any time to sit down and concentrate on my story. Chapter 12 will be up within a week. Thank you for reading! (as of July 31, 2011)

I don't own One Piece.

Me: Sorry this chapter is so short.

Spade: It's all right, I'm sure they'll understand.

Me: You think so?

Spade: Of course they'll understand that you've been binging on manga reading and anime watching since its summer break, and that you've been neglecting writing your story!

Me: I'm so SOORRRRYYY~! I really have been putting my writing off because I really hadn't been able to get past a certain aspect of this chapter, so instead I cut it off before that area. Because I'm writing this so late, I also didn't talk with my beta reader and I'M SO SOOOOORRRRRYYYY ISSHI! T~T FORGIVE ME!

Spade: *pats head* It's all right, as long as you do better with Chapter 12.

Me: I will! I promise! (don't hurt me…)

Chapter 11: Captain Zettaichi

"Oh, thank goodness," Hikari sighed pleasantly. "You have the keys to the sea-stone cuffs?"

"We don't," Spade said smiling. He held up his right fist and turned it titanium in front of Hikari's eyes. "But we do have this."

'He's a DF user!' she thought, surprised.

"Daiki, can I use your coat?" Spade informally asked him. He handed over the marine coat.

Spade wrapped his titanium fist in the coat with his other hand. He turned and asked, "Hikari, will you stick your cuffs out here?"

Hikari obliged and held her arms outside her cell. The bars were big enough to barely fit both her forearms in the spaces between.

Spade lifted his fist and yelled, "Chitan-Chitan…" he raised it higher, then pushed all his weight into the punch. "BASH!" he yelled as he shattered the cuffs.

Hikari flexed her hands and wrists. "Ahhh, that feels good," she said, and the floor around her became slightly frosty. Hikari noticed they didn't move to open the gate. "Do you have the keys to the cell?" she asked hopefully.

"No," Daiki said plainly. "I have an idea thought. I heat it with energy and you cool it fast enough it shatters."

"Hmmm. That should work," his sister agreed.

"Why can't we just break it?" Spade asked.

"Because it's not made out of ordinary steel or even titanium; It's stronger," Hikari replied un-entusiastically. Spade shrugged.

Daiki kneeled in front of the door and held his palm over the lock. He closed his eyes, kitted his borws, and began concentrating on heating the lock. The lock slowly grew in solor from dark red to a bright orange-red, and when it had ready that red-orange color, Daiki opened his eyes and looked at Hikari.

Hikari nodded and held up her palm to the lock and began concentrating as well. A small blizzard encircled the prison lock and rapidly cooled it down. As she continued to cool it down, cracks began appearing in the lock and metal around it.

The lock shattered to pieces to the floor, making a Cccssssshhhhh, tinkle tinkle sound after hitting the floor. Immediately bells, whistles, and sirens began sounding at full blast.

"Oh shit! That's the marine's alarm bell," Hikari informed them. "Let's get out of here."

They ran to the door cellar and Hikari unlocked and pulled the door open to find a malicious group of marines standing there with their arms crossed. Hikari immediately slammed the door closed and locked it again.

"So, I guess we're trapped," Daiki said, kind of dejectedly since He only got a short reunion with his sister.

"Nah," Spade said, "We just need to make a new way out," he smirked as he handed back Daiki's marine coat.

Spade lifted his right hand, turned titanium, and began to run at the far wall. He raised his fist and smashed the wall to bits, giving enough room that even a fat person could fit.

"Good job, Spade," Daiki said to himself.

"You say something?" Hikari asked excitedly, moving towards the opening already.

Daiki shook his head and followed his sister. They both approached Spade and tried to peek through the gaping hole. All could see nothing but mist/steam.

They all stayed there intensely for a while longer, then when the fog finally cleared a little, Hikari squeezed through.

Hikari froze, for not she exited the cloud, she found a small army and a captain leading them.

"Captain Z. Taichi, or Zettaichi," Hikari spitted a glob of mucus at the Captain's feet.

"Oh come now, Hikari. You can't still be mad about my opinion of justice, right?" The captian asked sarcastically. "I told you, there is only Absolute Justice, and the marines are here to restore balance to that cause."

"HAH!" Hikari laughed.

Again, sorry it's super short, but I started typing things that didn't make sense and I need sleep x.x Next chapter will have extra writing. I think I've gotten back into the mood for it.
