Chapter 14

Shanks fell back slightly and Liza was quick to catch the male. The wound on his face looked terrible and if they didn't treat it, the bleeding won't stop. Liza growled, ripped a piece off her white shirt and tied it around the wound.

"Don't 'Yo, Liza-chan' with me, you idiot! What are you thinking by interfering with my fight?!" Liza angrily yelled at him but felt her concern bubble up more. He protected her and got hurt. It made a bitter taste come forth in her mouth.

"Hey, we're friends, right? I couldn't let you get hurt and just watch! That's not what friends do" Shanks said and Liza's eyes widened while a gasp escaped her lips. Friends? He thought they were friends?

"You couldn't even save your own comrades"

The words of the large male in the beginning of the day echoed throughout her mind and she gritted her teeth. Her blue eyes darkened drastically and veins started to throb out of her head. She saw Benn rush towards Shanks and stood up.

"Liza? What are you doing?" Shanks asked in a shocked tone at the fact that she stood up. Didn't her leg hurt? His and Benn's eyes widened when they saw the angry look on her face and her killer glare was on Teach.

"Hey, Liza, calm down-yoi! Don't do anything stupid-yoi!" Marco warned her and received a menacing look from Liza that sent shivers down his spine. This was the first time he saw her that angry.

"Stay out of this, Phoenix" Liza snarled at him and pushed them back with an incredible force. Their eyes widened when they realized that she did that with her willpower. According to them, she didn't have haki before.

Liza looked back at Teach and pulled out one of her knives hidden in her boot. "You're going to pay for that, bastard" Liza suddenly vanished from her spot and appeared in front of Teach making his eyes widen in disbelief. When did she get so fast?

"Seven blade dance!"

In a flash, Liza gave him cuts all over his body and he cried out on pain. She gave him a strong knee thrust into his abdomen making him spit up blood. He crashed hard into the ground and coughed up more blood.

"Y-You wench... Where did this power come from?" Teach asked but Liza didn't give him any reply. She gave him a murderous look with her mouth pulled into a deep frown. He gritted his teeth and pulled out his pistol.

Liza flicked her wrist and the knife impaled Teach's hand. He cried out in pain and the pistol fell next to him. He reached out towards the knife and pulled it out with his other hand with another cry in pain.

He threw the knife towards Liza and she caught the blade with her bare hand. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw her other hand bleed before she threw the knife to the side. Both her hands were bleeding and had terrible wounds but she didn't show any sign of pain.

"Y-You're a monster!"

Liza gave him a sick smirk that made his blood run cold. She pulled her dagger and then appeared above Teach. Her dagger's blade pressed against his neck's skin and cut only the upper skin making him bleed.

"Monster? I could say the same thing about you, Teach. We're both monsters here but the difference between you and me is, I become a monster when you hurt someone dear to me. You were born a monster" Liza told him and Teach's eyes widened.

Liza suddenly pulled back her dagger and sheathed it by her side. She stood up and turned her back towards him. "You'll fall at the hands of a 'D', but not mine" Liza said as she glanced back at Teach, her blue eyes still dark and intimidating.

"Marco, make sure to treat his wounds and get him out of my sight. I never want to see him again" Liza said before she walked towards Shanks and Benn. She was relieved that Shanks stood up but the white cloth was covered in blood.

"We need to get you healed up as soon as possible, Straw Hat. I have the supplies back at my bar but you'll probably want your own doctor to look at the damage" Liza said, her face softening and Shanks shook his head.

"Don't worry about me. You're much more injured than I am! Worry about yourself too!" Shanks said and Liza chuckled. She looked at her damaged hands and scoffed. She had worse wounds before in her life.

"There little things? Nah, I'll be fine. Now shut up and let's go. You're bleeding a lot" Liza said in a concerned tone and her brows knitted together. They had to get him medical attention and soon. She was sure that the wound was deep too and needed to be disinfected.

"Liza's right. You need to get cleaned up as soon as possible. Let's go" Benn said as he supported his Captain slightly. They started to walk on and just as Liza took a step, she winced. "Liza, are you alright?"

She forgot about her bruised leg!

"Y-Yeah! I'm fine! You two go on ahead! I'll join you at the bar!" Liza said while wondering how she was going to make it at the bar with her leg injury. Liza let out a deep sigh and took another step with her injure leg while gritting her teeth. She wasn't going to get anywhere like this!

Liza's eyes widened when an arm suddenly snaked underneath hers and she was supported. "Need some help-yoi?" Marco asked with a faint grin and Liza stared at him for a few. She gave him a nod and smiled.

"Thanks"

"Don't mention it-yoi. You took quite a beating back there but I'm glad that you didn't kill Teach. For a moment I thought that you would-yoi" Marco said as they walked on slowly but steadily. Liza huffed and gritted her teeth as she stepped onto her sore leg.

"Don't be ridicules, Marco. I know very well about your iron rule and there's no way that I would kill a Whitebeard Pirate. Actually, there's no way I would kill anyone for that matter" She murmured the last part softly but Marco still heard it.

"Liza, there's something that bothers me-yoi. Why did you freeze up like that in the middle of the fight?" Marco asked and Liza's brows furrowed. She had a feeling that someone was going to question that.

"Marco, I'm giving you this warning because I know that I can trust you and you can trust me. I respect you and the old man and I don't want you to get hurt" Liza said and Marco's face turned impassive.

"Someday, Teach is going to betray you. He'll commit murder and dwell into the darkness" Liza said and Marco's eyes widened. "A grin. A knife. Blood. A Devil's Fruit. Darkness. They're all signs of a bad omen, be careful" Marco stared at her in shock and could barely analyze her words.

There were rumors made by those who feared the 'Red Menace' and there was known that she never ate a Devil's Fruit. Even now, he wasn't aware that she ever ate a Devil's Fruit or otherwise she would've used it in a fight.

However, there was one thing that he was aware of, her prediction of the future. When he first met her, he thought that it was only a rumor. His opinion changed when she predicted what would happen once and after that, he knew that it was true.

What surprised him the most was that she was never wrong. No matter how many times she would foresee something, she was never wrong. She was usually spot on despite only seeing split images she could decipher them almost in an instant.

It scared him.

"I'll be sure to take your word for it and keep an eye on him-yoi. I'll be sure to warn Pops as well, but right now we have to take care of these wounds-yoi. They look terrible" Marco said and Liza lightly chuckled.

"Thank you, Marco, you're making me feel much better" She sarcastically stated and Marco rolled his eyes. He noticed the paleness of her skin and also noticed her tired blue eyes. They had to get her hands disinfected and fast before she bled out.

"H-Hey" Marco looked back at Liza who was dragging her feet more than walking correctly. "M-Make sure that moron S-Straw Hat get's his wound checked for me" Liza said before she went limp in his grip.

"Hey, Liza-yoi! Stay with me! Hey!"
