Chapter 25

Lucci snarled and leapt out the way as Jyabura crashed landed on to the ground with a painful howl, how the fuck did that happen? Jyabura was one of the strongest shifters he knew, second to only him of course, and he was being beaten up by a mere fledgling?

"Get Up!" Lucci snarled at the coughing ball of fur, "You're letting a newbie thrash you?!"

"Don't be a fool Lucci...We can't beat a logia type...""We can and we will!" Lucci roared, he refuse to lose a second time to these interior creatures, "Kaku, Jyabura, get up!"

Lucci's tail swished violently behind him, he flexed his claws and growled, hesitantly, Kaku regained his battle stance and Jyabura crouched, digging his claws into the concrete. The leopard tensed his muscles and leapt towards the group of vampires while Jyabura aimed for two humans with Kaku acting as backup.

Law was beyond angry, the moment Lucci had entered the room, the sweet smell of Luffy's blood assaulted his senses, he saw the cat's paws matted with blood and he snapped.

"Room!"

A blue sphere appeared surrounding all the three beasts in its blue hue, Lucci's eyes widened in realization, he barely had the time to throw himself out of the circle before Law unsheathed his katana and sliced his comrades into pieces, leaving them helpless and alive.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MATE!"

Shanks was feeling faint, he wanted to knock himself out and hope this was all a dream, first they were kidnapped by weird were-animals or something, then their boss started torturing Luffy, making him feel like an absolute failure of a godfather.

Then Smoker came with his boss, whose entire family turned out to be some other race of supernatural creatures with sharp pointy teeth and now starts some rivalry battle which somehow involves Luffy. Yep he felt like fainting.

"What do you think Trafalgar?" Lucci smirked

Law snarled, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel cold dread seeping into his veins.

No... Nothing happened to Luffy-ya...nothing should happen...no...

Law extended his room to envelope the massive cat and swung his blade slashing anything that made contact with the katana. However his blade bore hesitation, worry and denial dulled his attacks, Lucci saw this and dodged the incoming attacks with relative ease, taking advantage of Law's weakness.

Killer narrowed his eyes as Law's attacks failed to hit their targets, amongst the dust, the multi-colored orbs spotted another entrance, taking advantage of the chaos in the room, he moved towards door. Half way there a huge snake dropped from the ceiling and hissed at the blonde furiously, poison dripping from its huge fangs. He leapt out of the way as the huge reptile launched herself at Killer, but before she reached the blonde, the snake froze in mid movement, unable to move in any way.

Red and green orbs shifted to the other blonde in the room who was wiggling his fingers and grinning like a kid in a candy store.

"I don't appreciate my cute little children being attacked," Doflamingo smirked at the snake, Killer's eye twitched at that,

Children...urgh... That's creepy...

"Sandersonia!" Jyabura growled, he struggled within the sphere but he couldn't move and inch, he remained in pieces and unable to do anything.

"Why don't you stay a there a little while, huh? We need to do something first and puppy...don't you have yourself to worry about?"

Killer snorted lightly, at least someone seems to be enjoying himself, he turned and headed to his original location, as he entered the next wing a loud boom resonated thorough the entire structure, causing the blonde to pause for a moment.

I hope everything is alright...

As he turned a corner, he froze...blood... Too much blood...

Luffy was lying facing upwards in a pool of his own blood, his skin was deathly pale almost like a sheet of paper. Cuts and bruises marked his once tanned and flawless skin, however the most prominent wound was the huge gash on his chest and the bite marks on the human's neck, Killer feared they were too late; the teen had a small chance of being alive after such extensive damage to the body...

A faint thumping, snapped the panicking blonde out of his thoughts, it was so faint that even the enhanced hearing of a vampire had trouble picking up, to Killer's utter relief; the softest thump indicated that the teen still could be saved... The catch was that only his mate could save him, especially if he has fed from him before, however Law seemed to be a little preoccupied with Lucci.

"He has gotta get his priorities straight..."Killer muttered viciously dashing back to the main area, every second counts; every second brings Law's mate closer to death.

Law snarled in frustration and Lucci's smirked grew even wider, the leopard seemed to be able to dodge his moves without much effortlessly.

When Lucci launched himself at Law, the tanned vampire also did the same, baring his canines at the feline, but before they could crash into each other, plumes of smoke intercepted them. One plume smoke punched Lucci, while another pushed Law back to the ground.

"What are you doing Smoker-ya!" Law hissed, his slate colored orbs narrowing at the white haired man.
Just as he was about to slice the smoke man with his haki infused nodachi, Killer grabbed his arm, Law spun and glared hard at the blonde, gritting his teeth.
"Killer-ya wha-"

"Luffy is dying," Killer stated flatly, Law's eyes widened

No...no...no...no...

"What?! Luffy!" Ace screamed, struggling to his feet, Shanks was also struggling to his feet and was about to dash to where Luffy is, but their movements were sluggish and slow from the damage they had taken earlier.

"What is more important, your mate or Lucci?" Killer demanded, digging his fingers into Law's arm.
Before the humans could move a muscle, Law was gone; leaving only a cloud of dust behind, the blue film surrounding the other shifters disappeared.

Shanks glared at tall blonde who was having fun making the snake slam herself into the nearby wall, Doflamingo grinned sadistically.

"What the hell is a mate?"

"Luffy-ya!"

Law appeared beside the mauled body of his mate letting out a cry of horror. His mate was lying motionless with a quickly fading pulse to indicate he still had a chance of survival.

Quickly but gently he cradled the teen to his chest, without hesitation, the tanned vampire sunk his fangs into his own wrist ignoring the sharp pain that shot up his arm. Drawing blood from himself, he then pressed his lips against Luffy's cold ones, as they parted, Law released his own blood into the other's mouth, praying it would work and it wasn't too late to save the teen, he didn't need to take any blood as he had already done that recently, the blood would last about half a moon before more blood need to be taken if a change was to take place.

A jolt left the human as the red liquid trickled down his throat, no matter how dreadful he felt, Luffy wouldn't have the strength to thrash around, in his state Law doubt he could even feel the burning sensation unlike Smoker who was physically perfect at the point of his change. Even with vampiric blood doing its work, it will still take a miracle to save the raven haired teen.

Laying Luffy gently back down onto the ground, he had done what is to be done, all he can do now is pray that Luffy would make it.

Something crashing through the nearby wall forced Law's gaze away from his mate to the commotion. Killer forced his way out from a pile of rubble sporting a gash at the side of his cheek and his chest, not deep enough to cause major bleeding.

"Don't get cocky just because you nicked me you house cat!" The blonde hissed, crouching and launching himself at the feline.

Law got up, he didn't know whether Luffy would make it of not but his mate is still vulnerable at this point of time, he still needed to protect the teen.

He pushed himself towards the leopard snarling and drawing his nodachi once again, he couldn't use his powers in as it might affect Killer as well, but his swordsmanship was not sloppy. He swung his blade skillfully towards the feline, forcing Lucci to move backwards. The shifter snarled and whipped his claws at the tanned vampire only to have his attacked blocked by the blonde who was wielding blades on his wrists. The duo doesn't speak but their movements are in perfect sync, Law knows they have an advantage after fighting with Killer for so long; he has already familiarized himself with the blonde's fighting style.

Distracted by Killer, Lucci barely had the time to dodge a slash by the vampire, earning him a long but shallow cut across the chest, the wound left a permanent cut on the body as Law's blade was no ordinary blade, the special metal caused wounds that the special healing ability of the shifters to be ineffective.

I can't beat these two bloodsuckers….but I just need to wait a while longer…as long as I can lure them further from the human, my plan will still work….I no longer have any use for that dying human, I can always find some other toy to play with…

"Come on Trafalgar, is that all you got?" Lucci taunted, despite panting heavily, keeping a tense posture

"For someone who is being pushed back, you're talking awfully cocky," Law hissed, raising Kikoku preparing for another strike.

Lucci leaps backwards until he stood at the hole created by Killer when he crashed through the wall earlier, just as he was going to taunt the vampire further, he smelt a new scent, a human scent, and one that every supernatural creature knew, even Law paused and gave a cautious sniff.

Turning to face the new scent, Lucci bristled instantly as his gaze was met with unwavering sharp eyes.

Smoker was having a hard time trying to keep the attention of Jyabura and Kaku who had managed to piece themselves back together; the two animals kept taking turns to attack the smoke man, although it didn't hurt Smoker, more than once he was distracted by one of the shifters while the other would go for Ace and Shanks. More than once he would have to abandon trying to take down one to protect the humans; this gave the shifters time to recover. He was getting pissed on a record high level, and the bloody bird was of no help, he was still playing with the snake.

This time however, Jyabura had managed to keep Smoker busy longer than usual, the wolf had intercepted the logia's movements using the other's inexperience and his speed, the white haired man didn't realize the giraffe going after Ace until he heard the teen scream.

"SMOKER!" Ace shrieked, grabbing Shanks arm tightly, his dark eyes wide with terror.

"Ace!"

Smoker's heart clenched as he realized that he wasn't going to make on time.

Just before Kaku landed a death blow on the teen, a wave of compressed air sliced thorough the wall with ease and hit Kaku in midair, sending the giraffe flying. Crimson drops splattered onto the floor as the shifter landed with a dull thud on the ground.

"Well well...no one waited for me? How rude considering I was invited as well..."

Shanks spun his head towards the voice, his jaw dropped in absolute horror, as the dust cleared to reveal a pair of piercing yellow orbs, he fainted, leaving Ace to gawk.

Jyabura cursed, of all the humans in the Grandline, this man was the only one that posed a real threat, not just to shifters but all supernatural creatures alike, a hunter.

"Took ya long enough," Doflamingo mused, "What? Couldn't find the place?"

"No, I had to distract my son to get my gear, apparently he's smarter than he looks and I NEVER get lost,"

"You mean that oversized sword of yours; seriously, I don't understand how you hide that thing." Doflamingo snorted,

Golden eyes shifted to the beast that stood a short distance away, dark eyes were wide with horror, fur bristled violently and claws twitched, a name was spat from the feline like deadly poison.

"Hawk-eye..."
