I watched the marine cautiously. I found that he was the Fleet Admiral, and his name was Akainu. Saying that name brought back painful memories, memories that Past Me may have wanted to suppress. He look familiar, almost as if...he had been important before. I shook it off though. I had to kill him. It was that simple, no strings attached. Akainu barked out orders to his men, mainly to spread out and find the other Admiral. After all his subordinates had left, Akainu started out. I watched curiously as he walked in the opposite direction that the Admiral was. What was he doing? Suddenly, his Den Den Mushi rang.

"Yes? Oh, Fujitora." Akainu listens for a bit before replying. "Yeah, I sent all my men your way. I'm going to try and find her." He paused again. "Doflamingo? He wouldn't help me, just taunt it in my face." Another pause. "Oh, you're going to Green Bit? Ok. If I see any criminals coming out of the Colosseum, I'll catch them." He hung up the snail with a clank. I walked softly across the roofs, following Akainu as he walked across the streets. Suddenly, my Den Den Mushi rang. I jumped in surprise, and quickly leaped off the roof. Akainu probably heard that. But now I had bigger problems. I was free falling off a roof. Good job, Jade. I sighed and tried to aim for the dumpster. And of course, I hit. My snail was still ringing. I sighed and picked it up.

"Yeah?"

"Ah, Jade. Change of plans. In a few minutes, I'm gonna trap everyone in Dressrosa. After the Fleet Admiral, well, you're following the Fleet Admiral. Anyways, after the Fleet Admiral picks up his Mushi, and after the conversation is done, you attack him. Got it?" I sighed into the phone.

"Do I just attack him with my hands?" Doflamingo chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm fairly sure he'll be surprised. He won't hurt you badly." I sighed again.

"Alright. When is your trap going to go up?"

"A few minutes." The snail clanked as Doflamingo hung up. I sighed, and climbed out of the dumpster. The dumpster wasn't that dirty. It was just full of dust, and I sighed and took off my hat. It was full of dust, and I brushed the Donquixote Pirates' jolly roger tenderly. They took me in, and I needed to repay them. They helped me where no one else couldn't. I had to repay them. Suddenly, lines spiraled out of sky, and spread out over Dressrosa. My eyes narrowed. This must have been the trap Doflamingo was talking about. Soon enough, Akainu's Den Den Mushi rang.

"Hello?" He asked gruffly. "What's with the lines? It feels like I'm in a cage." Akainu paused. "Oh, I'm literally in a cage? Made by Doflamingo? I can't attack him either?" Akainu groaned. "Alright, I'll head over to you. Where are you, the….middle of town. That's not helpful. I'll try to find you. And..." Akainu paused before speaking again. "If I see him, I will kill him. I'm not going to wait. He has here, right now. She could...she could be dying." Akainu clenched his fists and hung up the snail with a clank. I crept out of the shadows slowly. "I know you're here. I'm not stupid, and I can sense you." I still stood out of his sight. He warily turned around in a circle, looking for me. When he faced me, I walked out of the shadows, my hat casting a shadow over my face. When he saw me approach him, he stumbled back a few steps.

"Jade?" He asked softly. "J-Jade." He said once more, trying to assure himself. I furrowed my eyebrows. How did he know my name? I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind, and just focused on attacking him. Doflamingo said that he wouldn't hurt me. I hoped that it was true, as if it wasn't, I would probably die.

"J-Jade. I-it's me. D-do you remember me?" Akainu asked me cautiously. My eyes narrowed. What was he trying to pull here? I leaped at him, striking out with my legs. He just backed away, dodging my attacks. "I-I..You know me. You know me. Please, tell me you know me. I-I know you're probably angry about what happened a-at the war, b-but I swear it's not on purpose. I-it was an a-accident." I glanced at him curiously. War? Suddenly, my head was hit with flashback. I cried out in pain. I watched as I stared down Akainu, saying words my brain couldn't comprehend. My mother? My father? Buster Call? It was over as soon as it came, but I fell to my knees and held my head. It gave me a killer migraine. "Jade, are you ok?" I screamed again as I was ripped into another flashback, this one with Akainu and a women. They were crouching over a young girl who was crying because of a scrape on her knee. Was that girl..me? Akainu crouched down beside me, stroking my back softly. Why was he doing this? Why couldn't he just kill me? My brain couldn't understand with all the flashbacks, and everything that was going on right now. It was too much. It was too much. I arched my back and screamed. I screamed, as my head exploded with images. Images of people being auctioned, images of lava everywhere, images of the cuffs I had on my hands. And finally, images of Akainu and a women together with me, living in a house. I couldn't' take it. I couldn't' take it. My head was going to explode. I screamed one last final time, until everything faded to darkness.


Dun dun dun! But the whole fade to darkness thing is so overused...I don't feel like I should use it...but I don't have anything else to use...
