She let out a screech of pain as the doctor pushed the ball back into the socket, another week they allowed her arm to be dislocated before they decided to have her treated. Tears followed down her cheeks, she hated this more than anything they didn't use seastone no. The bastards like to hear her scream in pain didn't they, the doctor held a cup up to her lips.
She glared at him over the rim of the cup and the man sighed, "It's just water," she slowly parted her lips and allowed the cool refreshing drink pass down her throat, "I can't give you any pain medicines since I do not know what your medical history is." He explained to her taking the class away from her lips.
She didn't say anything just continued to look at him blankly, "Ms Akiyama I am not here to hurt you."
"No but you work for the bastard that is," She hissed back at him.
The doctor sighed softly and gently helped her to her feet, but he didn't say anything as he lead her to the door where dumb and dumber stood waiting for her, "Do not put pressure on the shoulder for a few days… I will check on you again in a few days."
She nodded her head and turned to the men folding her wrists behind her back a habit she had got use to over the last week, the cold metal of the cuffs clicked over her wrists. One of them took hold of the chain that held her wrists together. Forcing her to turn and marching her down the familiar hallway to Kaidos office.
They knocked on the door and the word enter was called from the other side of the door, they pushed the doors open and forced her into the room before slamming the doors behind her. She stood silently in front of the doors looking at Kaido silently, she knew what he was holding in his hand it was those fake devil fruits.
"Hows the shoulder?" He asked not taking his eyes off the fake devil fruit.
She didn't speak just looked at him blankly and stood still at the door, rolling the shoulder softly biting her lip to keep her from hissing out in pain.
"You will be joining me on a little business tomorrow," her eyebrows shot up slightly, he held the fruit out to her, she looked at the yellow spots on the fruit but they seemed to be fading halfway towards the bottom of the fruit. "Do you see what is wrong with this?" He questioned her.
Megumi knew how this type of business worked, her father was practically swimming in black market materials by the time she was engaged to Akainu, "The fruit isn't complete picked before it was right… most likely means that its powers won't be strong as fully ripe fruit."
Kaido chuckled darkly, he might not look terrifying but she knew the force he had behind him, the men he controlled. After being stuck on this ship, she could see how even the crew members were terrified of their captain.
"Why aren't you heading the Holy Land, I thought you wanted to take over the World Government so why are you dragging me over the new world," She snapped.
"You might be able to control the five lords, but pitting you against Akainu," He chuckled smirk across his lips, "I need an army to take on the marines."
Ace looked over the railings they should be reaching windmill village within the hour then Squardo will be heading back to the new world, Marco hadn't spoken to anyone about Megumi being in Kaidos hands. How could he, the thought of the Siren being in the King of Beasts grasp and they couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright Kiddo," Vista asked coming up behind him patting him on the back.
"Yeah," Ace forced himself to smile, he can't let them know Megumi isn't safe he just can't they all loved Megumi like a little sister, "Just thinking that's all."
"Hey your family will be happy to see you again," Vista chuckled.
"I know that just wish… Little Edward should be here with us meeting his great grandfather and such I mean… will I ever see my own son?" He questioned, "Or will I be like my father and die before I even get to meet my own kid."
Vista smacked Ace upside of the head, the younger man stumbled slightly and reached out grabbing his hat before it went flying into the water, "We all know the reason why she hid with him Ace, don't start mopping about going I am never going to see my son. You might not get to see his first steps or hear his first words but you will see him, she always spoke of how great you would be with Edward."
Ace chuckled slightly, "Yeah…."
"She was a natural mother kiddo, you would be proud of her," He grinned at him, "Now you better get Marco out of his sulking, I see the island coming up on the horizon."
Ace glanced over his shoulder and grinned widely as he saw the windmills come into view, "Thanks man," Ace grinned ducking under Vistas arm and sprinting down to the lower decks, Squardo had been a good host for the division commanders allowing them to practically have free roam of his ship. Saying to them they deserved it after everything they went through because of the war and the events before hand.
"Marco," Ace called out into the dark room, curtains drawn but he could see Marco was still in the bed. His arm slung over his eyes, "Come on…. Dawn Island is in sight."
"Is it, yoi?" Marco questioned not looking over at him.
"Hey…." Ace whispered softly closing the door but flicking the light on and softly padded over the bed and slipped onto the bed next to him, "She will be ok."
"How can we say that, it's Kaido… You've seen what he has done to the people under Pops protection. Megumi was one of the most protected people, along with you that Pops cared for and now she is right in the hands of one of Pops most hated enemies. I have no clue who is worse Kaido or Teach," Marco grumbled.
Ace laid down next to his side and slipped his hand down the bed and threading his fingers through Marcos one, "Teach…. Kaido hasn't killed any of his own crew members only men on the black market he has killed."
Megumi looked at herself in the mirror, she was surprised how healthy she looked Kaido had one of his elites drag her off and prepare her for their visit to one of his business partners. She was forced to wash, aka the woman had forced her under the stream of water that was too hot for the Siren and so much water was pouring down on her head she felt as if she was going to drown under the water stream.
Her hair fell down her back in wet stringy strands plastering themselves against her back white fluffy towel wrapped around her, whilst the white bat devil fruit eater plucked the hairs off her eyebrows making the Siren flinch every now and again.
A dress laid out on the bed, it reminded Megumi of something she would of worn during her engagement to Akainu, though at the moment she was thinking being under the Fleet Admirals thumb might be better than being stuck in this situation.
"Will you stop flinching," The bat hissed at her.
"How about I screech in your ears and you don't flinch," Megumi hissed practically spitting venom at the woman.
The woman froze for a moment looking slightly stunned at the Siren, the woman looked so calm and peaceful a woman that wouldn't hurt a fly but if looks could kill the bat would be dead a hundred times over. The bat stepped back slightly and sighed, "Get dressed," she ordered before storming out the room.
Megumi flinched as the door slammed shut behind her, she sunk down onto the plush bed next to the dress it was a floor length silver dress with a slit up the right thigh. She ran her fingers over the satin material, it was just like what she used to wear.
She breathed deeply before she got redressed into the new outfit, the slit showed the purple tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates on her thigh. The top half of the dressed zipped up her back and pushed her chest up showing off her impressive chest with the sweet heart neckline.
"A picture of perfection," Kaido chuckled from the door way, "I would prefer to keep my prize in a picture frame to show you all off to the world but…" He shrugged, "This will do as well."
"Your sick you know that," She stated.
"Sick, evil, twisted," He counted them off on his fingers as he went, "People really need to start coming up with better insults they are terribly dull."
"I am not a trophy," She hissed.
"Many will disagree with you on this one," He chuckled.
"Oh yes because the perfect Celestial Dragon Trophy goes out and fucks two division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates on a daily basis," She hissed.
Kaido chuckled at her reply to him, she was a woman with a firey attitude he remembered years ago seeing her as a meek flower, now she was fully bloomed into her own woman, "We will be docking in an hour I need you ready."
Ace practically jumped off the Whirlpool pirate ship as they came into dock, landing hard on the wooden planks a few fisherman turned and looked at him. Some faces who recognised the man broke into large grin as they saw the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"ACE!" Many of them shouted out, "NICE TO SEE YOU SAFE!" "WELCOME HOME!" The shouts made Ace feel at ease as a large grin broke out across his face, the thudding sound of the plank hitting the dock next to him.
"Thank you Squardo, yoi," Marco thanked the other man.
Squardo smiled and hugged the Phoenix tightly, "We are always here for you Marco, Whitey and the rest of the allies, you have the denden numbers you in need of you give us a call ok."
"Sure thing and thank you for this," Marco grinned.
He watched from the corner of his eyes as the rest of the division commanders said their good byes to members of Squardos crew, "Anything Marco, even without Pops we are all still family."
"That's how he would have wanted it, yoi," Marco smiled.
"MARCO COME ON!" Ace yelled from the docks the younger man was practically bouncing with excitement wanting to run up into the village, "I WANNA GO!" Ok yes he defiantly sounded like a child.
Marco sighed and rolled his eyes stepping off the ship, feeling Aces hand wrap around his wrist and the younger man started tugging him off the dock and into the village with such a speed Marco thinks he only seen the man run this fast for food. Marco was quite surprised that the town folks didn't seem that bothered about the pirate ship just turning up at their front door.
Ace crashed open the doors to the Party Pub, "MAKINO I'M HOME!" He yelled out a large grin across his face.
The sound of shattering glass filled the air, Marco looked behind the bar seeing a tall woman with dark green hair look frozen at Ace. She shook visibly before rushing around the side of the bar and throwing her arms around him. Ace let go of Marcos wrist and wrapped his arms around the woman hugging her back, "You are ok," She whispered through her tears.
"I promised Luffy I wouldn't die," He chuckled, "Didn't I."
She then smacked him hard around the back of the head, "HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID! YOU NEARLY GOT YOURSELF KILLED!"
"Hey, hey," Ace smiled softly rubbing the womans back gently, "It's ok… I'm ok…"
Shanks tapped his foot on the ground glaring at the sea in the new world, been two weeks know and no spotting of Kaido at all. That man was so god damn egotistical, Shanks was sure he would slip up in one way or another and leave some sort trail for him to follow.
But no for the first time since Shanks became an emperor Kaido did not leave a single clue for him to follow, "Everything ok Captain?" Lucky Roo asked as he dug into the chunk of meat in his hand.
"How can I not find this man," Shanks muttered to himself, "Any other day of the god damn year, we will be able to find him but at the moment he seems to have vanished into thin air."
"You know what he's like," Yassop stated, "Will taunt you then go hide away in his little cave somewhere."
The entire crew burst out in laughter at the thought of goblin Kaido hiding away somewhere, Shanks grinned slightly at the thought, always thinking Kaido was a goblin or the troll under the bridge in childrens fairy tales.
"Captain we will find them," Rockstar told him a smile across his face, "Don't worry too much."
"Kaido is not a man to be messed with, he has one the most influential woman in his control and he plans to do something with her but you think I shouldn't worry," Shanks stated.
"Hey," Benn called out placing a hand on his Captains shoulder smiling softly at his Captain, "She is a strong kid you said it yourself, even when Pregnant she didn't stop and bow down to anyone… We will save her."
Shakky sighed as she looked at Edward who was sitting on the counter top looking at her silently, bright silver eyes bore into her own dark ones. Morning breakfast seemed to scatter all over her bar top, she picked up the bowl of porridge and tried again.
"Come on Eddie, you have to eat," She smiled at the boy.
"NO!" The boy shouted this time his hand connected with the bowl of porridge and sent it flying across the room, Hatchan reached up and grabbed the bowl before it could smash against any surface, "WANT MUMMY!"
"Eddie…" Shakky whispered softly reaching out for the one year old, the poor boy was scared and confused. Shakky knew that fear the child had already started to harbour at a young age, the dear that everyone he loves will leave him, "Shanks has gone to bring Mummy back."
"I WANT MUMMY NOW!" Edward shouted slamming his hands down on the wooden bar.
"Eddie sweetheart, Mummy will come back I promise," Shakky tried to reason with the one year old.
She flinched as she listened to him starting to ball his eyes out, she quickly scooped him into her arms rocking him softly. Not caring that his breakfast that his breakfast was starting to stain her leather outfit, he fisted his hands into her pink shirt and continued to cry.
Both Hatchan and Shakky looked down at the child both praying to Roger that he will allow the family to be back together sooner rather than later.
Megumi stood silently in front of Kaido, her hair was now pinned up on her head in an elaborate curled up do, with silver heels on her feet she now towered more over Kaido than she originally did. He clicked his fingers and one of his men place a cloak around her shoulders and lifted the hood gently up hiding her face from everyone.
"Now, I will not need to chain you will I?" He asked her raising an eyebrow.
"No, I won't run," She stated wishing that she would but at the moment she had not a clue where she was at all.
"Good girl," He grinned at her before he turned sharply and walked from the room Megumi and his top two elites followed closely behind him, Megumi blinked a few times in confusion looking around as they stepped out onto the deck then down onto the docks watching toys moving giant crates walk about what seemed to be a small trading area.
"AH!" A voice shouted from the other side of the dock, "Mr Kaido, Doffy wasn't expecting you should I…" The man looked like a walking…. If she could call it walking looked like he was oozing slime off himself. She tried not to gag as he started to move closer.
"No," Kaido snapped, "Where is your Captain."
"The… err… Young Master is up stairs in the trump room last time I saw him," The man seemed to be stumbling over his words not knowing what to say to the Yonko, Kaido walked past him not breathing another word to the man. Whilst the two elites followed closely behind Megumi stayed back her eyes glue on the toys under her hood not knowing how to comprehend what was going on.
A hand suddenly grabbed hold of her arm she nearly screamed seeing what looked like a rag doll, but it seemed to be broken in a few places, "P-please…." It mumbled.
"OI!" One the guards shouted catching Kaidos attention, "YOU GET BACK TO WORK!" Megumi felt her heart break slightly as she watched the guard kick the toy. She kept her head bowed and quickly scurried off towards Kaido who was standing in front of an elevator.
He didn't breath a word as she stepped into the elevator beside him and kept her head bowed, she glanced out seeing how large this what seemed to be an underground complex was. The elevator soon came to a halt and the doors slid open Kaido already seemed to know his way around this as she glanced round it looked like she was standing inside a castle.
He was already on the move heading down the left corridor, she followed behind not really wanting to be like some puppy but at this point she really didn't have a choice in the matter. She can't even think of escaping before she learnt were she was and who was in charge of this place. It would practically be suicide if she tried to escape at the moment.
Kaido clicked his fingers as he came to a set of large wooden doors, the two elite members either side of him pushed the door open with a bang allowing Kaido to stride into the room.
"WHAT DID I SAY-" A slightly familiar voice shouted before turning towards the door, "Kaido…"
Megumi was stunned seeing the ex celestial Dragon standing in front of a large tv watching what seemed to be gladiatorial fighting, her eyes locked onto Doflamingo under the hood. This was not going to go well.
Ace grinned widely at Makino as he sat down on the other side of the bar to her, she was as kind as ever having passed drinks and food around to all the division commanders allowing them to be comfortable within her establishment.
"How long will you be staying?" Makino asked him.
"Until we get back on our feet…. We need a ship and just need time to get ourselves together basically," Ace answered honestly, this woman helped him a lot when he was a kid always being their along with Dandan. Though Dandan showed him how life was really.
"That's fine," Makino smiled, "We are just glad that you are ok."
"Thanks, nice to know that some people out there don't want us dead," he grinned.
Makino rolled her eyes and smacked the back of his head softly, "Know I have followed your story in the papers, many people have to thank you and your crew for what you have done for them. No one will forget not for many years the bravery of the Whitebeard Pirates. Not many people have gone to a full fledged war against the marines and lived to tell the tale."
"But…"
"No… You and the others stay here as long as you like," She smiled softly at him.
"Thanks Makino," Ace smiled picking up his drink and moving over to the table were the others were sat.
"So what do we do know?" Haruta asked.
"Makino is fine with us staying here, but it's only until we are sure we can get back to the new world in one piece, without worrying and glancing over our shoulder every five minutes," Ace told them a large grin painted across his lips.
"That's nice of her," Izo stated.
"But what are we going to do, we can't just stay here and expect them to be ok with it," Namur piped up.
"We can help out around the village, yoi," Marco told them, "Get back to what we use to do… Help people."
"Pops was always happy to give a lending hand to anyone that he came across, we keep Pops tradition alive and continue helping people," Fossa grinned.
"For Pops!" Vista raised his tankard.
The others grinned at him and together the sixteen division commanders lifted their tankards and they clashed together, "For Pops!" They cheered.
Doflamingo stood silently in the trump room looking at Kaido as the man strode into the room, Doflamingo glanced behind him at the two elite officers he had and the figure in the cloak, "Kaido such a surprise," He grinned widely throwing his arms out, "You should have called in advance we would have had a spread laid out for you. Would of have a more interesting fight in the coliseum for you."
"I am not here for ideal chit chat, you stupid boy," Kaido snapped, Megumi knew if she was standing next to him she would be able to see the anger in the mans eyes. Kaido snapped his fingers and one the elites brought a case to his hands, "I allow you to stay on this island Doflamingo, but remember I can have it destroyed in a blink of an eye."
The elite member opened the case and Doflamingos eyes widened as in the centre of the case sat one of the artificial devil fruit sat in the case, "I have given you your most recent order…. I don't…."
Kaido picked the fruit up and walked closer to Doflamingo, the man was literally half of his height but Doflamingo looked like a terrified puppy. "Do you see what is wrong with this fruit boy?" Kaido hissed.
"It's…. not fully ripe."
"EXCATLY!" Kaido roared in anger slamming the fruit down on the floor, "I PAY YOU GOOD MONEY KID! FOR THESE FRUIT THE MONEY I PAY I EXPECT TOP SERVICE NOT SOME CRUMMY LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!"
"Sorry sir, I didn't check the last batch fully it means," Doflamingo said.
"This better not happen again," Kaido stated, "But I am here on other business today as well."
Doflaimgo raised an eyebrow under his sunglasses slightly confused at what other business he could have here today, "What else can I help you with?"
"My dear," Kaido held out his hand towards her, Megumi bit her tongue from snapping at him as she took a few steps forward and rested her hand on top of his, "The hood." Her hands slowly reached up and her fingers hooked under the material of the hood pulling it back.
Doflamingo was stunned as light pink hair tumbled out of the hood, soft pale skin shined in the sun that streamed in through the windows. The woman tilted her head up locking eyes with him, bright silver eyes blinked back at him and Doflamingo chuckled, "You have yourself a real gem here boss."
"She will be helping me with my plan, though… I do not like the idea of her being on my ship more easy for her to escape, you will be keeping an eye on her whilst I go and make sure everything is ready," Kaido stated. Doflamingo nodded his head in understanding, "You," He turned to Megumi, "Even think of running I will find your son and you don't want to know what I will have planned for him."
"yes Kaido," She whispered softly.
Kaido smirked and turned from them both before walking from the room, both elite members followed closely behind him. As the doors slammed shut again, Doflamingo stepped forward running his finger across her jaw line tilting her head upwards, "Well… aren't you a pretty sight."
Ace grinned widely as he walked through the forest, most of them stayed behind and started to get to know the town people. He thought he should go pay a visit to Dandan, Makino had explained to him what happened after the war. He felt guilty putting his family through that.
"So you grew up here, yoi?" Marco asked him as they walked through the woods.
"Eh… pretty much," Ace laughed, "I spent a lot of time as a Kid in the grey terminal and the Goa Kingdom. Me and Sabo would steal money from the horrible bandits and save it for our trip, to become pirates."
Marco chuckled slightly, "So were we heading then?"
"I want to say sorry to Dandan… I shouldn't of done that to my family… I shouldn't of gone off in the first place, maybe if I just listen Pops we wouldn't be in this situation… We wouldn't be hiding and we would be with Megumi and Eddie," Ace huffed.
"You can't blame yourself for what he did now can you, yoi," Marco told him.
"But if I just listened and didn't run off after him, this all wouldn't been happening Akainu wouldn't be the one in charge of the marines at the moment. We would be back in the new World sort of Safe with Pops, Megumi and Edward," He sighed running his hands through his hair, "This is my fault."
"Do you think they blame you?" Marco asked.
"What…."
"Pops and Megumi, do you ever think they will blame you for this, yoi?" He asked.
"I don't know," Ace sighed.
"I don't think they would, she might blame you for being pregnant but other than that she won't blame you for anything," Marco wrapped his arm around Aces shoulder and drew the man into his side because kissing his cheek, "We don't, we are glad you are safe."
Ace grinned weakly as they stepped into the clearing a large wooden cabin sat in the centre of the clearing and Ace grinned widely before bolting over to the door and knocking rapidly on the door a large grin broke on his face. As he heard shuffling within the bulding, "I SWEAR GARP IF THAT'S YOU IM GOING TO KICK YOU DOWN THIS GOD DAMN-" The door was suddenly thrown open, "Mountain…." The tall oranged haired woman looked down at Ace wide eyed, "Ace…" She whispered.
"Hi Dandan…." He grinned up at her.
The woman burst out into tears suddenly wrapping her arms around him hugging him tightly sobbing into his shoulder, "You're alive," She wailed holding him tightly.
"Hey," Ace grinned widely at her patting her back, "I wasn't going to die."
Megumi breathed deeply feeling fear rush through her body as Doflamingo circled her like a wolf to his prey, his large hand brushed up the dip in her waist before running his fingers across his shoulder blades, "Who would ever thought, I would have you in my clutches," Doflamingo laughed.
"You're sick you know that," She hissed at him.
He turned to face her mouth pulling up into a wide grin, the pink feathers brushed her arms as he leant into her slightly sending goosebumps up her arms. "Oh I am more than sick my dear, Siren," he brushed his finger across her jaw line.
"I am not your anything," She hissed slapping away his hand.
His brow furrowed slightly and she could see the veins practically throbbing on his temple, "You are in my care."
"LIKE I WANTED TO!" She screamed at him.
His hand shot out wrapping around her throat his thumb pressed down on her jugular making her squirm slightly under the pressure, "I can turn you over to the marines in a heartbeat don't think I wouldn't," he growled.
Megumi smirked at him, her hands rested round his wrist as he lifted her slightly her toes just brushing the ground below her, "Like you would disobey Kaidos orders, you are terrified of him… you've already pissed him off once…. Disobey his order again and he might actually kill you," She laughed.
He suddenly dropped her, she gasped as her feet slipped out from under her and she know laid flat on her back at his feet. Breathing deeply making her chest heave with every breath she took, Doflamingo grinned down at her, "Should really learn how to keep your mouth shut around your betters little girl."
She rolled her eyes slightly, "Betters, excuse who out of the two of us still has the title of Celestial Dragon."
Doflamingo stepped closer to her before he knelt down at her side leaning across her, she held her breath as his hand slipped past her vision she felt his long fingers thread into her hair before he sharply tugged her head back. She let out a cry of pain as he twisted the long locks around his fingers as he drew her face close to his he growled, "You keep your little mouth shut, is that understood." She didn't say anything her silver eyes hardened refusing to answer him, but he twisted his hand tugging harder on her locks, "AM. I. CLEAR!" He yelled at her.
"YES!" She screeched.
He let go of her hair suddenly and she felt her head slam into the floor, she watched as he stood brushing down the pink feathers of his coat and stalk from the room. She allowed herself to cry as the doors slammed shut behind him.
AN:…. Erm…. Hi… Again….Yes I am taking quite a dark turn with Megumi's side of the story, for reasons of I have no idea where this story is going to be going over the next few chapters. I can leave her with Doflamingo until we get to the Dressarosa arc, or we can do a little trickery and have her escape but I might leave it a chapter since I want her to find out about everything in Dressarosa since I think that will be interesting. But I feel slightly better making you wait so long for the most recent chapter since I wouldn't of came up with this idea before.
Rankochi: I never planned this twist I was sitting at work writing that then boom, eh why the heck not lol. Poor Eddie, I feel horrible for that but still… Im a horrible person lol.
Son of Whitebeard: Well not exactly Dressarosa arc but we get Doflamingo ^_^
cocobobo10: Anybody dare thinks of laying a hand on Eddie, a lot of people will try to kill the person. I think it's a good way to bring in the time skip slowly but surely, oh I'm sorry (hugs) don't cry please don't cry. Thank you.
Anyway I might start working on the new chapter today or tomorrow, I have a one shot to do then I am up to date so speak to you next time.
