I do not own One Piece, only my OCs.
Chapter 12-Wanted Poster
Akira's POV
I rested for a little, but deciding the others would worry so I got up and headed back to the sub. Summoning my black wings I jumped up and flew off into the vast sea.
Not too long after I found that bright yellow submarine of a home and landed on deck.
"Yo." I said smiling.
"Aki-chan!" the ones on deck shouted and ran up to me.
"No, no, no, no. Don't you dare jump on me. I'm injured and exhausted so a meter distance please." I said to them as they instantly backed up. "Thank you." and with that the world started to spin and the ground rushed up to meet me.
Law's POV
I caught Akira before she could hit the ground and took her into the infirmary to treat her wounds. There were quite a few cuts and bruises, also her right leg had frost bites all over it, I'm surprised she could stand.
After I put her into her own bed I headed to the control room to speak to Cody about the next island.
Apparently it's a spring island and we'll get there in two days.
Akira woke and came into the infirmary a day an a half after she passed out, asking for painkillers.
"And, why do you need them, may I ask?" I asked as she sat down on one of the beds rubbing her temples.
"Cause I have a killer headache. Isn't it obvious. And you call yourself a doctor." she mumbled the last part but I heard it.
"I have to make sure of the reason you need it, in case of sickness and taking the wrong medicine." I explained as I pulled out what she asked for, from the cabinet of medicines. With a glass of water I handed it to her. She took it and after a quiet thanks walked out.
Akira's POV
I seriously hope that painkiller works. Ouch.
I took a shower and went into the kitchen to eat. Its well into the afternoon now but I'm hungry. Oh, and I have to make Law's afternoon snack as well.
So after I ate I made a simple chocolate moose, two of them as I wanted one to and took them into his room.
"Yo." I said as I entered Law's bedroom.
"Ah, my little snack." he took the glass with chocolate moose in from my hands and started eating it happily while I sat down in the chair in front of his desk.
"When are we gonna reach the next island?" I asked as I started on my own chocolate moose.
"Tomorrow, if the weather's nice." he answered. He looks like a little kid with that smile and faint blush on his face.
"Haha, you sure love your sweets huh?" I asked smiling. He just answered with a smirk.
I cleaned up the glasses after Law finished and went to my room.
I bought some music sheets so I decided to write down some of the songs I love. Stuff from Slash, Shinedown, Black Veil Brides, Icon For Hire, Halestorm, Alter Bridge, Hammer Fall and Disturbed. I also wrote down the lyrics to them.
I didn't even notice that it was way past midnight by the time I finished all of them. I didn't plan to sleep so I just took out that little diary I got on the last island and read through what I wrote last time.
My best friend always said not to keep my frustration in and not to get aggressive either but write it down instead, so that's what I did. I turned all my frustration into words. Reading over it now, its very colourful, sadistic and homicidal, haha, and its all directed at my beloved captain. ;)
I walked into the galley and greeted everyone.
"Morning Aki-chan." Penguin and Shachi greeted me and most of the others.
I sat down to eat but noticed Bepo fidgeting a lot, and keep glancing from me to Law. Now, what would be the matter?
"Bepo? You ok love?" I asked like a mother would its child. I was an A* student at drama bitches. And it comes in handy most the time.
"I'm sorry." he went his usual depressed. The poor thing has serious issues, but I love him how he is.
"Don't apologize dear. Now, tell me what's bothering you." I said looking at him softly. The others around us, looked at me shocked. Did they not think I'm capable of kindness? Well that's just rude.
"It's…um…nothing." he said not looking into my eyes.
"It's obviously not nothing. You don't have to be afraid to tell me Bepo." I reassured him, and I'm speaking the truth. Out of all the crew, Bepo is my favourite.
"Ahhh, I cant take it anymore! You have a bounty!" he shouted and ran away. I just watched his dust cloud disappear surprised, then looked at Law with an eyebrow raised in question. He looked annoyed that Bepo told me that, which made me smirk.
"How much?" I asked grinning.
" *sigh* its 130 million." he said.
"Haha, yea! I have a bounty bitches! Take that Andy, I actually have a bounty and its more than what you anticipated if we were ever to come here!" I shouted happily as most the crew just sweat dropped.
"Who's this Andy?" Shachi asked from beside me.
"My best friend." I grinned. God I haven't seen the kid in a year. Ever since he went to study abroad. "We always dreamed of what it would be like if we came to this world."
"How much was the bounty he thought you'd have?" Law asked, curiosity evident in his voice.
"It was about 90 million I think. Boy was he wrong." I said as my grin widened. "Oh, oh, what's the nickname they gave me? I hope its not something stupid."
" 'Dark Angel.' Portgas D. Akira. Wanted for 130 million beri." Law read from my wanted poster. I squealed in delight and snatched it from him to see.
It was a picture of me after my battle with Koori, flying back to the ship with my black feathery wings. Not bad, I look intimidating with all the blood on me. I just wonder when the marines took that picture though.
The nearer we got to the island the more exited I got. I wanna explore the island and go swimming.
"Calm down Miss Akira." Law said annoyed from beside me.
"But I cant. Think of all the adventure the next island holds." I said grinning. The Straw Hats always get into dangerous adventures wherever they go so why cant we?
As the island come into view my excitement ceased a little as something felt really off. I turned to half wolf and sniffed the air a couple times. Ok weird, the air is filled with the smell of blood.
"Law. There's the smell of blood in the air. And I have a strange feeling." I said as I watched the island get closer.
"Probably a battle you smell, that the wind carried here." he said not really caring.
Suddenly I heard a voice calling.
'help, please help me' a females voice cried. I looked around and saw no one react, and I realised its cause I hear it in my head. Before I could start panicking that I'm going insane, someone's memories flooded my mind.
I saw a little girl, only 6 years old. Mid length dark purple hair with a full fringe, crystal blue eyes and pail skin.
She found a strange fruit that she thought looked funny in the forest near her house. She was hungry so ignoring the strange look of it and unknown to its power, she took a bite and despite its awful taste ate the whole thing.
Later on she discovered just what it was that she ate. She knew punishment waited for her for eating it.
She was tied to a pole and crying, so very afraid. A woman walked up to her and told her to stay still and that it will all be over soon. The witch; the little girl's mother, cast spell after spell on her as she cried out in agony. After the curse was complete she lost consciousness.
She was crying and it looked like she was hiding under her bed from someone. Suddenly the door to her room swung open, crashing into the wall. The little girl tried to stay quiet but the man; her step father found her. Pulling her out from under the bed by her hair, he dragged her off to a room, where he tortured her for hours, as the girl kept on crying for him to stop. I felt my anger spike as more memories showed.
The girl now older, still hid from the same man but got found over and over again and tortured. She was killed but came back to life every time. The word 'immortal' crossed my mind, then more memories came.
This time it was her mother that that did the torturing, but not with tools but magic. The witch used curses and spells to test the boundaries of the girls immortality and devil fruit power. Having the logia ability of water she was forced to practice her powers until she mastered them. But never in her years of growing up did she get any kindness from her mother and step father, only the villagers that live in the town that's on the foot of the mountain that she lives on.
Because of her strange eyes she had to put on bandages to hide them. Not being able to see, she trained, and mastered Observational Haki. I cant believe the grief and sorrow that girl went through. How could they? What kind of a parents are they to do that to their own child?
"-Akira. Miss Akira!" Law's voice brought me back to reality and I found myself sitting on deck, clutching my head with cold sweat over my body.
"What happened? Are you ok?" he asked as he was knelt down beside me with an actual worried expression on his face.
"I'm fine." I said, my voice coming out raspy as if I hadn't used it in ages. I cleared my throat and stood up on shaky legs as Law helped steady me.
"What happened?" he asked once again.
"I saw someone's memories of their life." I said still out of it.
"What? How is that possible?" he asked, letting me go as I can stand properly now.
"I don't know." I sighed composing myself and turning to the island.
'help, please, save me, take me away' I heard that voice in my head again, the voice of the girl who I seen the memories of.
I kept quiet as we neared the island.
As we docked it was weird how quiet it was and there was no one around. That just gave everyone an uneasy feeling.
"Be careful." Law said as we headed into the town that was over the hill.
We walked in silence, full on guard.
Something was off, something was very off with this island. Cody said its meant to be a spring island with its people cheerful and friendly, yet so far we ran into none.
As we got to the town we found out why.
We stood there shocked at the scene in front of us.
Blood everywhere. An the people, everyone's dead. Ripped to pieces. Some of the guys chucked their lunch back up from the scene in front of them. I was close to it too, looking into the lifeless eyes of the dead.
"W-what h-happened h-here?" Penguin asked terrified. Its like if an animal attacked the town and killed everyone in it.
"Find survivors." Law ordered.
"There's no survivors. No one was left alive." I said sharply. I could smell no one alive. We arrived to a ghost town.
"What could have done this?" Shachi asked.
'help me' the voice called again, and I knew just what went down here.
"It was no beast that did this." I said.
I started walking into town. Ignoring the crew's protest, I walked through the mix of blood and body parts, looking for her.
Ok, I'm sorry this chapter ended really sinister(ish) but you know it had to be done.
But who's this Andy? And the girl who is asking for Akira's help?
Review and tell me your opinions X3
