(Luffy POV)

"Oh... oh god... What happened?" In heard Chopper ask to himself as he put bandages on my wounds. Should I pretend to have be asleep? Na, I'll wake up. I stood up, despite my aching legs.

"What!? Luffy! Y-your wounds! You are in no shape to be standing up and—." Chopper shouted.

I smiled, he's always like this. "I'll be fine." I said, cracking my knuckles, "Your a great doctor."

"What!? Don't flatter me you bastard!" Chopper said, dancing around. I looked around, realizing where I am. A cramped janitor's closet. I saw Zoro who is asleep. Except... he looked different. He looked more feminine and—- Wait a second... Nevermind I'll just support his (Or her) life choices. Whatever makes him happy.

Sanji took a drag from his cigarette, "Oh, your up." I felt someone tug on my shirt. Turned to find kid me, nicknamed 'Zero', holding up a drawing.

"Mister! Look what I drew!" Zero said. It looked like a mixture of a cow and an explosion. I guess Zero has my art abilities.

"It looks great." I said. I turned to look at Lucy.

"So where is Strippy guy?" I asked her.

"Follow me." She said quietly. We walked outside One, girl Zoro, and Sanji followed. Nami stayed behind to take care of Zero. "I need to explain stuff before we countinue." Lucy said.

"I love it when Lucy-San sound serious!" Sanji said with hearts in his eyes.

"Quit it Blondie!" Zoro growls.

"I don't know if I should love you or hate you." Sanji said. I just laughed, Zoro and Sanji are so funny.

"Zora, Sanji." One said, quieting everyone down.

"Zora?" I questioned.

"Marimo has a girl version. We found her in town." Sanji exclaimed

"Oh. I thought that was Zoro." I said. Sanji spat out his cigarette in a fit of laughter.

"There are three 'captains', people who are close to Mr Opposite, you've seen them before." Lucy said, "Shy, Act, and Red."

"They are the people we gotta fight, right?" Zora asked, grabbing her sword.

"Yeah. They'll most likely be the people blocking us from attacking Mr. Opposite." One said. An explosion shook the hall.

"Speak of the devil." Sanji said. A lady appeared. Her hair is cut in a bob and she wore a red coat with yellow trim, worthy of a captain. A strawhat covered her eyes.

"Act." Lucy said, pointing her sword at her.

"Oh! You've caught me!" Act said, finally revealing her eyes, she locked eyes with Zora, who is behind me.

"Lucy. Or should I call you Act..." Zora said, "What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking the same question, Zora." Act/Lucy said.

One looked at Zora, "You know her?"

"She is my captain. I'm here to find you." Zora answered, grabbing the hilt of a white sword on her belt, "I never would've guessed that you would join forces with him."

"It's all for the best." Act said, "You wouldn't understand..."

"Like hell I don't! This goes against everything!" Zora raged. Act sighed, looking almost sad for a second before gaining her neutral expression. An expression I normally wear as well.

"It's for your own good." Act insisted.

"I don't care about my "own good" Quit the crap!" Zora roared, "Why are you working for this guy? Don't you know that he's the one that attacked our ship?"

"I know." Act said.

Zora clenched her fists, "You either let us through or I fight you. Join us or not." Zora looked at us, telling us to move on. The four of us walked away, leaving it in her hands. Their shouts slowly got quieter and quieter as we walked away, settling in my eardrums just as background noise.

"Two down, one to go." One said.

"Right. The only one left is Shy. Then we just gotta worry about Mr Opposite." Lucy said.

I cracked my knuckles and yelled, "STRIPPY GUY HERE I COME!"


(Zora POV)

I held my sword tightly, now drawn. I can't believe this.

"Why?" I asked.

"Zora... leave here, I'll let you go." Act said.

"And let you attack the others? No way." I said, "I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I did that." Act stared at me with sad eyes, her smile lines have long since faded away. It made my stomach churn.

"I figured you'd say that." Act said sadly, "I wish you didn't though."

"You would've done the same thing... I think. I'm not even sure if you even are my captain anymore." I said.

"I've changed." Act agreed, "Regrettably. But change happens, this is only temporary."

I raised an eyebrow, "Temorary how?"

To my disappointment Act simply sighed and said, "Just go back to the Sunny. I'll be back."

"I'm afraid I can't do that." I growled, raising my sword to be an inch away from her nose. "I have a bad guy to kill"

"I can't let you do that, you know." Act said, "Go home, you may not understand that but... it's for your own good."

"'Own Good' my ass." I said.

"Go back to the Sunny. Captain's orders" Lucy glowered.

"Strawhat Lucy! You are standing in the way of my ambitions!" I announced, tighting the grip on my sword, "Apologize by the end of this sword!" Act frowned, but she looked like she was expecting this. I shouted in anguish as I prepared my first attack.


(??? POV)

New petals bursted from my skin, causing old ones to flutter to the ground. Bruises covered those spots. The petals covering the ground made the room look golden. Almost, dare I say, beautiful. But it nothing good came from these petals, only pain. Little beautiful curses, never to be suspected. The shouts of those I've harmed screamed and wailed in my ears, another terrible thing about this no good power. I picked at the newest petal that formed on my skin. It's on my chin. Maybe this one will do some good. If I hope enough maybe, but I should've known.

Nothing good can come from a girl with a devil fruit. Especially a wicked girl like me.
