Chapter 26

"Black Leg has Rebecca!" Monet frowned at the phone. Diamante sounded furious. "I'm currently fighting that little bitch's father. He's pissed off with me after I killed his wife-"

Diamante cursed, before laughing. Monet could hear the clatter of swords, but she didn't pay it too much mind. They were trying their best to protect the SMILE factory, she had no time to worry about anything else.

"I'm not sure if we'll be of much help at the moment," Monet admitted, cutting down another Revolutionary. "We're overrun here at the moment. The Young Master is also busy fighting off Eustass Kidd, and Monkey D. Luffy back at the manor."

"Little brats! I swear when I get a hold of that blonde bitch, I'll put him down on his knees-"

Monet froze. A deadly wave of murderous intent left her Alpha whimpering. The green haired swordsman approached at a slow, leisurely pace, but she couldn't move. Monet whimpered, and Diamante called out, alarmed. The green haired swordsman's gaze was dark, full of cold, deadly intent.

She couldn't move. He was going to cut her down. She wouldn't survive. Monet tried to scream, tried to flee, but couldn't utter a word. Her Alpha was terrified.

Zoro stared at the passed out from beneath his feet. He had given her a good smack across the head during her panic. He glared down at the mobile.

"I cut her head off," Zoro lied. "And now, I'm coming for you."

He crushed the phone beneath his heel, just as Usopp and Sabo finished off their opponents. Usopp terrifying some kid until she passed out. He passed out right alongside her, which was even weirder.

Zoro decided to ignore the pair, and go find his mate, now that the Revolutionaries had taken over the factory. If he found that creepy bastard near his mate, he was going to cut him to pieces if Sanji didn't kick him to death first.

Usopp would be fine where he was.

Zoro jumped back in that split second, cursing. A large guy punched the ground he had stood just seconds ago, smashing it into smithereens.

.::.

"Teach is going to be pissed that another factory is down!"

Sabo paused, then glanced at the doorway. Zoro had barely dodged the punch that Burgess had thrown his way. Sabo scowled, raising his pipe. This was the bastard who belittled Ace all the time, just for simply being an Omega.

"No matter, I suppose I can get rid of his brother and the Straw Hats while I'm here," Burgess smirked. "Wihahahahaha! So who's first?"

"I'm surprised to see you here, Burgess," Sabo frowned. "Not guarding your boss?"

"He's too busy scaring some government officials while I checked on his investments," Burgess smirked. "It seems like his investments are getting really cracked down on lately by you fools."

Sabo twirled his pipe. "So? What you going to do about it?"

"Wihahahaha, guess I'll finally get to kill off Ace's brothers. He'll be so devastated. Poor thing will have no choice but to take in some comfort from my boss," Burgess mocked. "Y'know my boss is planning on giving him a belly full of pups soon right? A shame you'll miss out on that."

Sabo smirked, and that seemed to wind Burgess up, because he snarled.

"What's with that look? Didn't you hear me? My boss is gonna put his babies in your slutty Omega's belly! He's gonna use that hole-"

Sabo couldn't hold back. He knew Ace was safe with the Whitebeards, but just hearing this piece of trash talking shit about his brother infuriated him. He lunged, slamming the pipe off Burgess' face. He knocked him down with a good kick, before twisting round, booting him into a wall.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time," Sabo growled lowly, grinning sharply. "I'm glad we've finally gotten to see each other like this."

"Sabo, you dealing with this?" Zoro asked.

"Yeah," Sabo nodded. "Go on ahead."

"You think you can take me on yourself?" Burgess spat, standing back up with a low grunt.

"I think it's time I introduce you to my title," Sabo grinned. "I'm the Chief of Staff."

Burgess twitched, then grinned wildly. "Killing you would really bring a smile to Teach's face now."

"And do you want to know something else?" Sabo teased.

"And what's that?"

"I kidnapped Portgas D. Ace yesterday from your club," Sabo chuckled. "I'm surprised nobody has reported it yet, but I guess your subordinates are all too terrified to tell you."

"No way! If that Omega bitch went missing Teach would have known."

"I guess Teach doesn't know everything," Sabo smirked. "Not until the last second I suppose."

"I'm going to crush your skull!"

"Bring it!"

.::.

"Bellamy!" Luffy yelled. "If you keep this up you'll die!"

He had been dodging Bellamy's hits for way too long now. Jaggy was having to deal with the other two, the snot guy and explosion guy, by himself. The weird gooey stuff was everywhere, and it was getting harder and harder to avoid stepping on it. Every time they did, the explosion guy would set off another bomb.

Bellamy had been thrown away by the explosions more than once, but he didn't seem to care. Nor did his gang mates. The snort guy laughed every time Bellamy was hit. It was really pissing Luffy off.

"It doesn't matter! At least that way, Doflamingo will acknowledge my death."

"If the fucker wants to die, then just finish him off, Straw Hat!" Jaggy spat. "We're wasting time here. Law's been stuck up there with that pink bastard by himself while we've been stuck here!"

Luffy grimaced. That was true. But Bellamy was crying. He didn't want to do this. He was only doing it for a boss who didn't care about him. It was really pissing him off.

"Go to hell!" Bellamy yelled, charging at him.

Luffy raised his hand, balling his hand into a fist. He'd have to do it in one punch again, just like he had when he had beaten Bellamy all those years ago.

He took Bellamy out, punching him into the floor. Bellamy crumbled to the ground, going still, with tears still rolling down his cheeks. Luffy twitched. He could see Doflamingo laughing, mocking Bellamy's misery, just before he had sent his minions to attack Luffy and Kidd. The bastard not even fighting them himself.

"DOFLAMINGO!" Luffy snarled.

.::.

"Fufufufu, sounds like the dog is barking," Doflamingo chuckled, glancing towards the hole.

His mansion was a complete, and utter mess at this point, which was frustrating. He'd need to hire some builders to fix the place back up.

Doflamingo grinned, and looked back down at his son, who glared back up at him. Doflamingo didn't let his hand waver, he kept the barrel of the gun level with Law's forehead. He had managed to back Law into a corner not too long ago, and the moment he had a chance, Doflamingo had pulled out the gun.

It didn't matter how much distress, horror and revulsion his son's scent was releasing. This was Law's own fault after all. If the brat hadn't been so rebellious, he wouldn't need to point his gun at his own pup.

"This gun, Law," Doflamingo frowned. "I doubt you would know of it's history, but I've only ever used it for special cases."

"Like what exactly?" Law asked, his knuckles white around Kikoku.

"Trebol gave it to me when I was a child," he explained. "And I used it to execute my father. He was a foolish, selfish man, so I had to get rid of him. I then used it on Rosinante after he kidnapped you."

"So what?" Law hissed. "I'm next?"

Doflamingo hardened his resolve, despite the fact that those eyes looking up at him were his mate's same pair. Those sharp, stormy grey eyes. The eyes that belonged to his son, who he swore to always protect. He had made himself that promise the first day he had held Law's tiny form in his arms, and hated himself for not having achieved it. But no. He couldn't focus on that now. His aim was all that mattered.

"Yes," Doflamingo said coldly. "You are."

Law stiffened, eyes widening with shock, but Doflamingo pulled the trigger, and shot his son.

.::.

Kidd flinched at the sound of a gun going off above them. His heart pounded in his chest. Someone had a gun. Someone had a gun and they had just fired off a shot. Law was up there by himself. They had left Law alone with his insane father.

He remembered Law telling him that he didn't know what his father would do to him the moment he found out he was a traitor. That Law wouldn't just let Doflamingo kill him. Kidd's Alpha froze in place.

"Behehehehe, did he finally kill Law?" Trebol laughed.

"TRAFFY!" Luffy screamed, but he got no response.

The terror was replaced by pure rage.

He saw red, and he attacked. Tackling Gladius to the ground, he began to tear at his chest. Trebol yelled, and Kidd felt that sticky goo hit him from behind, but he ignored it. Gladius tried to fight him off, but his struggles slowly weakened, and Kidd reached down to bury his teeth in his throat, to rip it out.

"JAGGY, LOOK OUT!"

Flames flared up along his back, and Kidd screamed. He ignored the pain. His pain was nothing. Not after everything his pack had been through. Killer being kidnapped and drugged, forced into a factory designed to impregnate Omegas, to have them raped and their children sold off to who knows fucking where. Then milked afterwards so it could be sold as well. Killer had been terrified and helpless. All that had almost happened to Kidd's best friend.

Then Law, held prisoner in what should be his own home. Leashed like a fucking pet. His freedom ripped away by his own father, who should love him, but was so fucking insane that he might actually kill his own son for betraying him. Now Law could be dead, and Kidd couldn't even tell, because they never had a chance to mate. To bond and make their connection.

And it was all Doflamingo's fault.

Kidd leapt upon Trebol, clawing at him, snarling and howling, despite the flare of pain burning away at his back. The bastard screamed beneath him, his Alpha full of fear and confusion as Kidd began to tear into him.

His hands were stained red. It wasn't enough though, he didn't have that pink bastard. His Alpha howled, demanding for the other's blood, despite the pain. His back was agony but his pain was nothing.

It was nothing compared to the thought that Law might actually be dead. He'd never get to hold Law again. He'd never get to hear his voice or breath in his scent or love him with every ounce of his being-

"JAGGY, STOP!"

Water slammed into his back, forcing him to the ground. He rolled away from Trebol, and shivered as the cold water drenched away the flames. He shivered, before sitting up, blinking as the red in his vision drained away.

The water slowly died off, and he stared at Straw Hat who held an emergency hose.

"Where the fuck did you even get that?" Kidd asked quietly.

He felt numb.

"Never mind that!" Luffy growled, dumping the hose aside. "Snap out of it. We have to go save Traffy, and beat up Mingo for everything he's done. Now get a move on!"

Kidd shook his head, forcing himself up to his feet. The bastard was right, he had to move. The shot could have been non-lethal, or perhaps they could make it in time, and put pressure on the wound. The gun could have even belonged to Law.

Kidd nodded. Yes, that had to be it.

Law had shot Doflamingo. He wouldn't have killed him, because Law didn't want to see his father dead. He only wanted his freedom. Doflamingo would now be down, and he and Law could go and move on with their lives.

He tried not to focus on the fact that Law never answered Luffy. That there had been no reply to the brat's desperate yell.
