Hello!
I'm sorry about the late update. I had a writer's block...
So, here is the next chapter. There is graphic violence, so if that isn't your thing, please don't read. Others, please enjoy!
Part 11
The Green Tiger arrived to Franky's garrage right before the midnight. Bellamy was with him and looked the place confused. The man had been really supriced as he saw Tiger at his hotelroom door. Yes, Bellamy lived at hotel right now. He couldn't go back to his apartment because Doflamingo might be looking for him. Bellamy didn't really want to explain to his ex Boss why the Casino had burned down. Tiger had been so nice to give him a place to stay.
Bellamy was very supriced about the gangster's kindness. That was something he didn't expect from the famous Green Tiger, who was known to be ruthless. He was even more supriced when he saw the man at his door half an hour ago.
"Come with me." Was the only thing he had said. Bellamy had followed him of course. What else could he do?
In the car Tiger had told what they where going to do. They where going to kill Vergo. That was something Bellamy had wanted to do a long time. That guy was an asshole. Fucking perverted asshole. Tiger had also asked some details about the drug ring. Unfortunately Bellamy didn't know much. The only knowledge he had was what the product was and when it was brought. Doflamingo had been very smart not letting him in for the cruchial information.
The garage, where they where now, looked old. Very old. Bellamy couldn't believe that this place was one of the best arms dealers in the country. Looks can be decieving I guess…
Tiger rose from the car and Bellamy did the same. "Nice place." He said looking at his boss nerviously. Tiger only grunted and walked to the very worn bluish steel door. He banged the surface with his fist. They waited in silence. Bellamy looked at the weeds near the wall. It was fucking awkward.
The old door opened creaking and huge man with a blue hair came to view. "Welcome to my humble establishment!" Franky said loudly huge grin on his face.
Bellamy remembered seeing this guy on the Casino as Tiger's bodyguard, when he had came to buy Sanji. So he was an arms dealer. It was unusual to see seller in action too.
"Hi." Tiger said smiling warmly.
"And you little shit must be Bellamy!" The man said happily. "I'm Franky."
"Nice to meet you!" Bellamy nodded and shook the guys hand. He let the obvious insult go. That blue haired guy was so god damn tall and very flashy person. Tiger had very odd friends.
Franky got out of the way and let his guests step inside. He shut the door and waved them to follow him. Bellamy looked around. They where standing on a small corridor. There wasn't any doors, it just continued forward to the darkness. Not scary at all… Bellamy followed closely his Boss's back. He didn't want to make any mistakes. He knew that Tiger wouldn't give him another chance again.
They arrived to small stairs and Franky climed them down. That huge guy fitted there just barely. He opened another steel door and the corridor was full of light. Bellamy followed Tiger inside. They where standing in a huge hall, which was full off different cars, old an new, guns and ammonition and various other eguipment. Bellamy just looked around in aaw. They could start a war with these. Doflamingo was screwed. Maybe he had chosed the right side after all. Or technically he hadn't chosen anything. The decision had been made for him.
"Finally you guys showed up."
Bellamy turned around and saw this very scarred guy with blazing read hair standing beside one table and filling a rifle magasine. Bellamy knew who the guy was. He was one of the best mercenarys there was, after the Brothers of course.
"Nice to see you Kidd." Tiger said and grabbed the man's extended hand. They looked each other in to the eyes for awhile and then nodded.
"It has been years for the last time you needed me." Kidd grunted looking the green haired guy angrily. "You hurt my feelings, you know."
"Tsk." Tiger just waved his hand prushing away the mercenary's words.
"I'm clad you decided to double my salary." Kidd smirked evily. "Othervise I would't have come."
Bellamy wasn't sure did Tiger and Kidd hate each other or where they friends. Franky's huge grin told the latter.
"If you keep running your mouth I won't double it ever again." Tiger said firmly pointing the red head.
"Touchy, aren't you?" Kidd laughed. "Is the old age heavying you fown?" He mocked.
"Hmmmmm….." Tiger smirked."You are not that young yourself, Kidd. You should change your name."
Bellamy was sure those two would kill each other in a minute, but instead Kidd started to laugh.
"I really missed you." Kidd snickered and wiped a tear from his eye. The athmosfere was instantly lifted up. Kidd continued to fill the magazine and then looked at Bellamy with his pearsing gaze. "Who's that idiot?" Kidd asked nodding with his head towards the blond.
Bellamy gritted his teeth. He didn't like to be insulted but he had no plase to bark either. He was new on Tiger's side and last of the picking order. So he just stood there and took all of it.
"He's Bellamy. My new employee." Tiger told. The blond nodded to the read head.
Kidd was staring at him a long time. "Bellamy?" He finally said thinking. "Wheren't you one of the Doffy's goons? At the Flamingo Casino?" Kidd asked fiddling one of the bullets in his fingers.
Bellamy remembered vaguely seeing Kidd as a customer once at the Flamingo. He had made a job and received huge pay and a discount for the services in the casino. It had been, maybe, over 6 months ago?
"And that Casino burned down recently, killing everyone with it." Kidd continued smiling knowingly. "But not you apparently." Kidd hummed to the blond.
"And I would like to keep it that way." Tiger pointed out leaning to the table. Bellamy kept his mouth shut glaring at the red head.
"So it was you who burned the Casino! Doffy is paying a huge pile of money to one who will confirm this to him. And kill you with it." Kidd said smiling.
Bellamy tensed. Why on earth had Kidd said that aloud? Now he had disadvantage. He could have just killed Tiger when they walked in. So why didn't he?
Tiger started to laugh. "I bet! He is too afraid to do the killing himself."
"Hah! That is true." Kidd laughed too.
And that was the end of the discussion. Just like that. Bellamy was dumbfounded. Was the sum too small for Kidd to react? Or was he more scared of Tiger than Doflamingo? Hell, Bellamy was way more scared at Tiger that Doflamingo, so the answer was there.
"Everything is ready, Boss." Franky then said.
"Good." Tiger nodded.
"Wanna fill me in?" Kidd asked loading his rifle with new magazine.
"We are gonna destroy Doffy's drug ring." Tiger smirked.
"Niiiiiiice!" Kidd said kissing his fingers. "Everything must go?"
"Everything must go." Tiger nodded.
"Sweeeet!"
"But this guy will be mine to kill." Tiger then said and threw a picture to the table. Kidd looked at it.
"I know this pervert." Kidd tapped the picture. "He likes to, how should I put this… make his viktims scream. Is this personal?"
"Yes." Tiger said with dark tone. "He hurt something presious to me."
Bellamy was supriced at his Boss's words. Tiger really did care Sanji deebly enough to say he was presious. Bellamy could feel jealousy rising in his gut. He wanted to be the one to make Sanji happy, to call him presious. But that wouldn't happen. Not in this life. That georgeous blond belonged to Green Tiger now. He didn't have a change.
"Something presious, huh?" Kidd smirked. "Has the play boy finally found something valuable to keep?"
"Fuck you." Tiger grunted.
Bellamy sgueezed his rifle and bounced his leg. They where in this very small van, sitting shoulder to shoulder. Franky was driving. It wouldn't take long them to arrive to the Vergo's warehouse.
Bellamy looked at his Boss, who was leaning against the van's wall, hands on his chest. He was sleeping. His head was swaying side to side with van's movements. How could he be sleeping in time like this?! Bellamy was nervious as hell. This could be his last night and he still had much to do on his bucket list.
Bellamy looked at his side where Kidd was sitting. The guy was fixing his gear. Kidd had some kind of bodyarmor that looked like metal. It couldn't be though, it would be too heavy. His left hand was fully coated with the armor. Bellamy saw the scars that run from the left shoulder to the guy's face.
"What are you staring at? You fag or something?" Kidd asked not even looking at the blond.
"Tsk…" Bellamy grunted and looked away. The red head was an asshole.
Kidd started to laugh. "Just messing with ya!" He smiled and nudged Bellamy's side. "When this is over want some stress relieve?" Kidd asked wigling his eye brows.
Bellamy looked the red head confused. The guy was so hard to read. He was rude and kind at the same time. You couldn't say for sure was this guy hostile or not.
"No thanks… you'r not my type." Bellamy muttered thinking of Sanji and his slender form. Meat heads wheren't his thing.
"Your loss pal." Kidd just shrugged continuing fixing his armor.
Bellamy looked him again. "What happened to you?" He then asked pointing at Kidd's face.
"Oh this? Napalm happened." He said and then laughed. "My skin burned so badly that I can't feel anything with my hand." Kidd showed his left arm, flexing it. "This armor keeps it together and my hand safe. So I woun't hurt myself without noticing." Kidd continued smiling.
"I'm sorry." Bellamy said sadly.
"Why? It's fucking cool!" Kidd smirked.
"It's ugly. And you are an idiot." Tiger murmued his eyes closed.
"You love it but you are too proud to admit it." Kidd pointed out.
Tiger just smiled.
I'm surrounded by idiots… Bellamy thought scratching his head.
The van stopped. Bellamy could feel how his heart beat started to rise.
"We are here." Franky said looking at his friends from the front seat.
Tiger opened his eyes and started to smile darkly. "Vergo is gonna wish he had never been born."
Bellamy swallowed. The Green Tiger was so fucking scary. That aura made him look like a demon.
They hopped out of the van silently, guns ready for anything. The warehouse was mostly dark. Only couple of lights where lit. No guards on the outside. Weird. Bellamy breathed the gold air and tried to steady his hands.
"Bellamy. Stay beside me." Tiger ordered the blond.
"Yes, Boss." Bellamy answered. He felt strainge sense on pride. Tiger had chosen him to keep him safe. That was someting Doflamingo had never trusted him to do.
Then three guards came outside talking. They stopped beside the front door and light their cigarettes. They laughed at something.
"It's on!" Kidd whispered smiling and started to run towards the guards. He started to shoot and the guys didn't get even a change to point their guns to the attacker.
"Well, here we go." Franky sighed and followed Kidd who had already gone inside.
Zoro smirked and shook his head. Bellamy gritted his teeth. This was it. He needed to keep his new Boss safe. He went inside and pointed his gun for all the corners. The noise was overwhelming! The guns where blazing and people where screaming. Kidd was killing everybody.
Bellamy saw two guards on the left. He shot them without hesitation. He continued walking forward through the large shelves shooting anyone that came to view. The place was full of drugs, powders and other weird stuff.
"Kidd! Be careful! Don't hit the drugs!" Bellamy shouted. It could be fatal if they breathed in too much of the powders.
Kidd just showed him middle finger and kicked one door in. He went inside shooting with his maniac face. Franky was on the right side shooting down rest of the guys.
"Clear!" He shouted and walked back to his Boss.
Tiger was standing tall in the middle of the warehouse looking his surroundings. That guy didn't look scared at all. Bellamy looked at him like he was a God. He surely looked like it.
"Any sign of Vergo?" Tiger asked correcting his suit.
"Not yet." Franky said.
"I will look for him, Boss." Bellamy offered.
"No. You stay with me." Tiger said firmly. "Franky, go."
The blue haired guy nodded and left to check rest of the rooms. Bellamy felt dissapointed.
"You don't trust me?" Bellamy asked gritting his teeth.
Tiger looked at him with his hard gaze. "I don't know your abilities yet. I don't want you to die for nothing." He explained.
Bellamy was supriced. That wasn't the explanation he thought would hear.
"Are we clear?" Tiger asked putting his hand to Bellamy's shoulder.
"Y-Yes Boss!" Bellamy nodded.
Tiger smiled and tapped the blond's shoulder couple of times before lifting his hand off. Bellamy smiled to himself. He felt happy and respected. Maybe the first time in his miserable life. Now he knew he had picked the right side. He was happy to be this gangster's underling.
"Boss!" Franky emerged from one of the rooms. "Kidd found him!"
"Exellent!" Tiger smiled darkly and started to walk towards Franky. Bellamy swallowed and readyed his rifle. He followed the two men in silence.
The room was small and full of different furniture. Vergo was sitting midle of the room pressing his bleeding thigh. Kidd was pointing his gun towards the guy's head from good distance.
"Fuck with this shit…" Vergo was mumbling and hissed with pain.
"Nice work, Kidd, Franky." Tiger praised his men. They both nodded and stood on the doorway giving all the space for the Boss. Bellamy stood beside them looking at Vergo with cold eyes.
"Hello, Vergo." Tiger started stepping slowely towards his prey.
"Tsk. Who the fuck are you?" Vergo hissed looking at the green haired man.
Tiger laughed. "I'm your fucking doom."
"Oh? And are those guys your mini dooms?" Vergo mocked looking at the men on the doorway.
"Aren't you funny, fuckface." Tiger said crouching infront of Vergo. He looked the man up and down and made disgusted expression.
"You have any idea who I work for? Whose place this is?!" Vergo growled.
"Hmmmmm…. I have heard that before." Tiger chuckled.
"Wait a minute…" Vergo said seeing Bellamy. "I know you! From the Casino! You are alive!"
Bellamy rised his eyebrows with suprice. So Doflamingo thinks I'm dead.
"Hey! Focus on me!" Tiger growled pointing with his fingers towards his eyes.
Vergo looked back at the gangster. "What do you want? Did you burn down the Casino?"
"I did, yes." Tiger smiled evily. Then he leaned forward. "You hurt someone dear to me. I'm here to return the favor."
Vergo laughed. " Hurt someone? Be more specific. Can't remember all of them." Vergo said with his smug face.
Tiger started to growl. He rose up looking the man below with murderous gaze. That made Vergo's smile falter a little.
"Remember this blond whore you beat up an raped?" Tiger said slowly.
Vergo tapped his chin for a moment. "Oh yeah! Cute little thing. He screamed nicely and came a lot, like whore should." Vergo started to laugh.
Tiger gritted his teeth and sgueezed his hands to fists. Bellamy knew that Boss was only a seconds away from bursting into frenzy.
"Awww…. Was that cutey your whore?" Vergo mocked. "Did you know you can't rape a who-"
Vergo couldn't finish his sentence. Tiger had drawn his white katana and stabbed it to Vergo's thigh. The man screamed from the pain and looked the blade in disbelieve.
"I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?" Tiger growled leaning to his katana.
"Kkkhhhhhh…. I said that you ca-" Vergo started but screamed again as Tiger pulled the katana off and hit it to the other thigh.
"Aaaaarrrgghhh! The fuck is wrong with you?!" Vergo shouted in agony.
"You fucking sick pease of shit! I'm gonna make you pay!" Tiger shouted and kicked the man down. He kept his foot on Vergo's chest pressing it down with his dress shoe.
Vergo coughed and tried to push the man off but his hands where too slick from his own blood. "Fuck you!" He growled in desperation.
Tiger yanked the katana off from the man's thigh and pinned Vergo's right hand to the floor with his leg. Then he sliced the man's arm off from the elbow. Vergo screamed and sgueezed his bleeding arm.
Bellamy flinced at the sight. He saw Franky flinching too. Kid only smiled with his maniac expression. Tiger was ruthless. That blade was so god damn sharp. Bellamy hoped that he wouldn't ever be on the receiving end of that blade.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!" Vergo screamed to his assaulter.
"I told you already." Tiger said and cut off Vergo's right leg from the ankle. The man screamed more and sguirmed on the floor. Tiger looked at his katana, admiring how sharp it was, how the blood glimmed on it's perfect blade.
"I did what I was told to do!"Vergo started to babble. "Doffy ordered me to do it! Just… Come on! I ah…. He was just a whore!" Vergo pleaded.
"Just a WHORE?!" Tiger shouted in anger. "He's human being! You fucker!" Tiger sliced his other leg off.
Bellamy closed his eyes and turned his head away. This was way too much. There was blood everywhere and the screaming… It made his heart ache. Bellamy saw how Kidd's expression had turned to grim. Even him wasn't smiling anymore.
"P-please! No more! It hurts!" Vergo pleaded with his raspy voice. He had started to turn pale from the blood loss.
"I bet Sanji said the same. Did you stop then? HUH?! DID YOU?!" Tiger shouted and hit the katana beside Vergo's head.
"Fuck you! You are insane!" Vergo shouted half crying. "I didn't do nothing wrong! He was a whore! They are meant to be fucked! You don't un-"
Tiger shouted his anger out and hit the katana to Vergo's chest. The man gurgled blood out of his mouth and looked the blade supriced.
"He… is…. a… human…. being!" Tiger shouted and hit the blade to Vergo's chest over and over and over again.
Bellamy looked the scene horrofied. Blood was spattering everywhere. The smell of blood filled the room. Boss continued his stabbing even though Vergo had gone limp and made no sound anymore. The thump from every hit echoed in the silent room.
"Boss." Franky said and walked slowly towards him. "Boss, that's enough!"
Tiger stopped. He leaned to his blade panting. He looked the body beneath him. The man was staring at the sealing, mouth open. His chest was bleeding all over the plase.
"Boss... you okay?" Franky asked varily.
Tiger rised his gaze slowly towards his friend. The blue haired guy looked at him wide eyed and scared. His hands where up, ready for anything.
"Yeah…" Tiger said silently and stepped off from the corpse. He pulled the katana off and cleaned the blade to his elbow. He returned it back to it's hilt. Tiger noticed how his white blowse was covered in blood. His hands too. He kept staring at them for awhile. His hands where shaking from the andrenalin.
"He deserved that." Tiger said silently.
"Yeah…." Franky nodded looking at the body.
"That creep won't hurt anyone ever again." Kidd sighed putting his rifle to his shoulder.
Bellamy looked at his Boss. His face was covered in blood, same as his suit. His face was ashen and tired. Bellamy swallowed and stepped aside as Tiger walked out of the room.
"Bring the drugs outside. We destroy them there. I want Vergo's body to be a warning." Tiger ordered walking beside the shelves.
"Yes Boss." Franky said.
They moved all the drugs to the outside. Kidd huffed and dryied his forehead.
"What is this shit anyway?"Kidd asked looking at the pink and white pills.
"This is DSD, a sex drug." Bellamy told.
"Damn…." Franky muttered and threw the last ones to the pile.
"Doflamingo made it, so our whores would be more efficient. And they would have more fun." Bellamy explained silently. He took one pill to his hand and looked at it. "This makes pain feel good."
"That's sick…"Franky said frouning.
Bellamy shrugged and threw the pill to the pile. "Our whores where happier with this, so it's not all bad."
Kidd started to puor gasoline to the pile. "Nothing is ever full bad." He said.
Bellamy nodded at that. He looked at Tiger, who was looking at the horison, smoking a cigarette. The Boss was not all bad. He just had a very lowsy temper. But that made him unstable and very dangerous. No wonder people said Tiger was ruthless.
Kidd light the drugs. "Lets get the fuck out of here!" He said sniffing and backing up towards the black van.
"I'll go get the Boss." Franky muttered and walked to him.
Bellamy looked as the blue haired guy tapped Tiger's shoulder and said something to him. The Boss looked a little confused and very tired. Bellamy waited him to hop inside the van before himself.
"Good job, Bellamy." Tiger said as the blond sit beside him closing the door.
"Huh?" He said dumfounded. Was that a praise?
"You did good out there. I will introduce you to my hotel staff next week." After that Tiger just hit his head to the wall and closed his eyes.
Bellamy stared at his bloodstained face. He felt warmt in his chest. He had succeeded! The Boss liked him now, trusted him! Tiger was exhausted so Bellamy keeped his mouth shut. He could thank the man some other time.
Zoro was sitting on the toilet seat, looking at his trembling hands. They had arrived back to the warehouse and Zoro had locked himself up to the bathroom.
He had done it! He had avenged Sanji and now that bastard Vergo was dead. So why he felt so miserable? He couldn't forget that blood stained face. He couldn't forget the smell of the blood, the grimson color of it.
Sanji's words about how violence is not the answer echoed in his mind. He had lost his temper yet again. Why I always have to lose my shit?! God fucking damn it! How am I gonna explain this to Sanji? If he didn't hate me before, well… he surely will now!
Zoro sgueezed his trembling hands to fists. I'm just gonna clean up and pretend this never happened. Yes, I'm going do that. He deserved it! Every hit! He deserved it! Zoro psycked himself. He wasn't going to grow concsiense to himself now. He didn't need that. Not in this line of work.
Zoro sighed and rose up. He looked his face from the mirror. His eyes went wide. His face was covered in blood. He looked like some kind of murderous mad man. Oh God! What have I done?! Zoro rushed back to the toilet and threw up. He gaged several times shaking all over. He felt so bad! His chest ached and his brain screamed in shame.
Zoro leaned to the toilet seat and rubbed his scalp. He thought his friends. He thought about Franky's face when he had stopped his massacre. What where they thinking now? This is fucking stupid! I'm The Green Tiger! Ruthless peace off shit! This is who I am!
Zoro swallowed and stared infront of him. Luffy is going to kill me… He thought. I totally deserve it. Zoro sighed again and wiped small tears off with his thump. I hate myself…
Zoro rose up again and stared his face. His eyes where red and under them he had dark circles. What a nice view.
Someone knocked the bathroom door. "Boss? You okay?" Franky's voice echoed to his ears.
"Yeah…" Zoro muttered opening the faset. He put his hands under the water and looked how read flowed down to drain.
"You sure?" Franky asked concerned. Zoro didn't answer him. He didn't know himself eighter.
"Look, I wont tell anyone but… you really need to calm down. I'm saying this as your friend." Franky continued. "That shit was way too dark, man."
"I know Franky… I know…. Just… thanks." Zoro answered to him rubbing his hands. Franky saying that shit to him… God! He had crossed the fucking line.
"Anytime." Franky said. Zoro heard how he tapped the door and left.
Zoro sighed with his shaky breath. He started to wash his face. He closed his eyes so he wouldn't see all the red. The blood smelled like iron when it hit the water. It made him want to pucke all over again. He just needed to remember this feeling next time he was going to loose it. Yes…. Remember this fucking feeling!
The phone in his pocket started to ring. Zoro sighed and with his wet hads picked it up. He looked the screen. Brook…. Zoro sighed yet again and answered the phone looking at his wet face exhausted.
"Yeah….?"
"Yohohohooo! Hello Zoro! Good morning." Brooks too happy voice hit into Zoro's ear.
"Morning…"
"Are you tired? I can call later." Brook offered hearing Zoro's small grunt.
"No it's fine." Zoro said rubbing his eyes.
"Okay then. It's about Sanji."
"Yeah?" The tireness was gone. Zoro perked up and listened every word Brook had to say.
"I looked up the Bratie, Sanji's family, like you asked. Aaaannnddd I found something interesting." Brook started his story.
"Yeah?" Zoro asked letting the water fall down his face.
"There has never been any worker named Sanji at the restaurant. And the owner has no family. Nor any worker has son that is named Sanji." Brook told exited. "So I looked all the missing person cases and no-one is looking for him. Hell, there is no records of him anywhere. He doesn't exist!"
"W-What?!" Zoro asked in confusion. Sanji didn't exist anywhere? No-one wasn't looking for him? But he said he had worked on Baratie. Why would he lie? Sanji knew he would look for his family. So why didn't Sanji tell him the truth? Zoro looked at his reflection on the mirror and those blood stains. Yeah… of course he wouldn't tell the truth.
"I was confused too. So I looked his DNA and guess what? Found him!" Brook laughed.
"Oh yeah? Where?" Zoro asked trying to think straight.
"Germany!"
"Germamy? Really?"
"Yep. Sanji was born in Germany and died there too. Exactly 8 years ago."
"I don't follow…" Zoro stuttered.
"Sanji's real name is Sanji Vinsmoke and he died in accident 8 years ago. Which is wierd because he's alive in your apartment. Yohohoho!" Brook laughed again.
"W-What kind of accident?" Zoro asked scratching his head. Trying to figure this all out.
"Drowning. At the docks."
"Drowning… Does… does he have family?"
"Yeah, Judge Vinsmoke is a somekind of politician in Germany. He has 4 children now. There was some scandal of child abuse but when Sanji died, all the shit was forgotten." Brook told.
"The fuck?! Child abuse? Germany?! How on earth he ended up here in America?" Zoro muttered.
"That I don't know. You have to ask that yourself." Brook sighed.
"I will…" Zoro muttered. He stared infront of him gritting his teet. He felt anger rising in him. He felt betrayed by Sanji's lie, or lack of information. Zoro tried to bound sence to his brain that Sanji was just scared. That's why he hadn't told anything to Zoro. And he hadn't even asked Sanji about his family in detail. So this was all on Zoro. He needed to calm down. Be rational. Anger wasn't going to help him in this situation.
