Wow, this ones really long compared to the others...... I would of posted it sooner but I had a different word in mind but then while I was writing it I started coming up with all sorts of things I could do with it. So I chose this word and saved the other one for an actual chapter story I'll start on after I'm finished with this....... And update my other stories at least once.

Don't own One Piece

Ultimatum

In the end they were each given a chose in this horrible place called the world. They were eventually given the option to live or to die, to fight or to flee, to protect or to deceive. But what you chose to do in the end was what defined you; you could be a hero who saved all an angel to some or the terrifying villain that left a trail of chaos and fear behind them a demon of sorts. Monkey D. Luffy had been given these decisions many a time and every single time he had picked to fight, to protect, and to die. But he powerful enough that he had yet to die. He would always answer the ultimate question with the same answer, he would protect his nakama, he would fight for them, and he was willing to die as long as they lived.

The howling of the wind could be heard, it was a black night the moon was hidden behind clouds made of the darkest things. Luffy slowly looked out at the ocean, it was calm even though the wind was raging the ocean was serene and without a single wave it was an unexplainable thing. Black eyes turned to the sky it was so dark almost like someone had taken all light and hidden it away somewhere. As the teen looked round him he thought.

His mind was filled with many a thing the most captivating object was the ultimatum given to him every time a battle was started. He was given the choice to stand up and fight with his crew or run and abandon them. He had always chosen to stay and he would continue to stay with them. He now had even more reason to stay then before. The new thing that made the choice even easier was one Eustass 'Captain' Kidd. Luffy would sacrifice anything in a heartbeat to save the red head just like he would for his nakama.

Somewhere else on a very different ship another captain was out and about staring at the sky with a wondering gaze. It was always like this after he saw a certain owner of a certain straw hat fight he would stay up and wonder at particular things while staring at the heavens as if he expected tem to answer his questions.

He to pondered on the ultimate ultimatum, his thoughts almost mirroring his loves. How he would now give his very life to protect his crew and his fellow captain. Luffy was special in a way that not many saw, and because he had seen it Kidd would protect it with all he had. Luffy was against all others belief still a child, he was a mere seventeen year old and yet he had experienced so much. Kidd's thoughts began to drift until they landed him to a fight that had happened only the day before.

Damn it! The stupid bastard kept fucking moving! Kidd's eyes swept over to Luffy who was by now panting harshly after delivering at least fifteen of his own attacks. He needed to end this quickly, Luffy was tiring Kidd knew it wasn't a good idea to follow Luffy's plan of heading into a marine base to say 'Hello' to his grandfather. But he had allowed Luffy to go despite his gut feeling he even followed the rubber teen!

And look where that had gotten him, fighting a vice-admiral and a platoon of marines with Luffy. Cursing Luffy's ability to create cute puppy eyes of doom Kidd ducked and turned around looking for the bastard who had shot at him only to see Luffy punching the fucker into the ground with hard eyes. "You don't touch him!" Kidd's own eyes softened slightly at that, it was just like Luffy to keep a grip on himself until someone that was close to him was threatened. As Kidd looked around he frowned, they were surrounded. Back up had appeared and now for every man they had taken down already two more took his place. He really needed to learn to resist Luffy's pout and puppy eyes; it was now on the top of his to-do list.

A searing pain tore though his side and a gasp left his lips. "I said you don't touch him!" Kidd looked up from his newly acquired wound thanks to a stray bullet to see Luffy in a full blown rage punching and smashing all of the marines he could reach, which was a lot of them. "Kidd! Watch out!"

He turned around to be met with the glimmer of a sword descending down towards him. "Damn it Kidd. Why didn't you move?" Something warm dripped onto hi cheek and when he wiped it away he found it was red almost like blood……. His head snapped up quickly and his eyes widened at what he saw, Luffy smiling his usual happy smile but this time his eyes were filled with worry and with a blade through his chest dripping blood onto him.

As the sword that was stabbed into Luffy moved Kidd acted, using his devil fruit powers he summoned all the guns and swords that the marines possessed to him before going on a rampage. He didn't know what was happening anymore all he saw was Luffy with that sword through him, bleeding and fading. He'd kill all of them! "Luffy! Kidd!" A concerned voice, why was there a concerned voice? He and Luffy were on enemy ground and he knew none of their nakama had been with them. He looked up being shaken out of his killing daze to see Luffy's nakama and Killer standing on the wall used to protect the marine base. "Hold on, we're coming!" He smiled, if Luffy's nakama were here then that meant Chopper the doctor was here, he'd take care of Luffy, he'd save him.. With those thoughts everything went black….

Kidd had woken up on his own ship and Killer had explained that Luffy would be alright the rubber fool just had to take it easy for a couple days. Yes, Luffy was willing to risk his life for him and he was more then ready to die for Luffy.
