Chapter 14
Daizen was standing there with her head down and the hood of the cloak covering it. She stopped the axe with her own hand. Takshin sat there motionless as Captain Grog stood there wide-eyed. The hand holding the axe was shaking, but the ax didn't move at all. She slowly lifted her head to look at him. His entire body froze when he saw the anger in her eyes.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" Luffy yelled after her. She didn't answer him back, but continued staring at Captain Grog.
"Answer me, Daizen!" he yelled again. She lifted her head straight and said without looking at him, "I wasn't." He stopped struggling and looked at her. Captain looked at her and asked, "Who are you?" She grabbed the blade of the axe and shoved it towards him, making the handle hit his chest. This knocked the wind out of him a little so he stood back and began gasping for breath. She stood there with her blood-dripping hand.
"Chopper!" she called. "Get Takshin and treat his wounds." Chopper quickly did what he was told and went to fetch Takshin. He picked him up in Human Form and laid him down where the others were.
"What about you?" asked Zoro. She looked over her shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about me." After she said that, her hand slowly caught on fire. They were freaked out at first, but when they looked closely the wound was clearing up.
Captain Grog also saw her hand catch fire and found out who she was. He slowly got up and said, "So you're the one with the Cat Spirit. Well, saves me time I would've wasted trying to find you."
"I'm surprised you don't remember me," she said, glaring at him.
"Oh and how do you come to know me?" he asked. She took a step forward and answered, "Think ten years back seeing a small boat with a pirate flag with only a mother and her child." She took another step forward making him flinch back. She pulled back the hood and he instantly remembered her. She clenched her fist which was still on fire, and said, "Now, I'm going to take my revenge. Where is the captain?"
"After that incident, those still on the ship looked for us. I was barely alive, and the captain wasn't found. And after continuing to travel the Grand Line, the rest of the lot died," he answered. She gritted her teeth and grabbed him.
"Stop with your lying," she growled, glaring at him still. He shook his head and replied, "I'm not. Look, this is the ship and there's not a single living person on there." She looked up at the ship and Grog took this chance to attack. He swung his axe, but Daizen just jumped and landed away from him.
"You think I'm that stupid?" she asked. He gritted his teeth and grunted with anger. Then he charged at her. She was about to jump when he threw sand into her eyes, blinding her for a few seconds. He swung and sliced her shoulder. She jumped back with her hand on the bleeding shoulder. Luffy was about to attack Grog when she yelled at him to stop.
"This fight is mine! You've no part in it!" she yelled angrily. "You told me to become strong to fight others, protect those I love, and make my mother proud! How can I when others fight for me?!" He stopped and stood there. Then, he sat down and nodded. She clenched her hands into fists and slowly raised them to her shoulder's level. Suddenly, two huge boulders came out of the ground and she pushed them towards him. He easily broke them, but found her right in front of him. She turned and kicked him in the head, sending him flying to the side and ramming into a cart.
She charged at him again, but he disappeared. She quickly stopped, and looked around. Then he reappeared and punched the bleeding shoulder. More blood spewed as she landed on the sand. He swung his axe again, but she turned, punched, and shattered it to pieces. But he continued and hit her wound again with the stick. She screamed and quickly struggled free.
"That's unfair, aiming for the wound!" screamed Nami. Luffy looked at her and said, "It looks like it, but even with those wounds, Daizen will still kick his ass." Daizen was panting from exhaustion, sweat running down her forehead.
'This power takes too much out of me,' she thought. Grog attacked again. She moved her hand to the sand and he sank into it. She lit her hand on fire again and punched him in the face. He screamed in pain and pulled out of his quicksand prison. He ran for the water, exactly what she wanted. When he was in it, she raised her hand and a stream of water came out of the sea. She flicked her wrist and the water obeyed. It struck him right on the burn spot.
Daizen was now breathing heavily and fell to her knees. Luffy stood up and began walking towards her. Grog saw his chance and got out a dagger. He smirked and threw the dagger at Daizen. She had no strength left, so she closed her eyes, accepting defeat openly.
'I'm sorry Kaa-san, Takshin, everybody.' But nothing happened. She opened her eyes, and they shot open wide, tears instantly flowing out.
"LUFFY!!"
