Bandits on the Sea are like Pirates on Land

I have a reason to believe that Garp is a smart piece of shit and he knew what he was doing when he left Ace and Luffy with Dadan. So what were Garp's security measures? What should happen should the World Government realize Ace and Luffy's existence? What of the people in Fushia and Mt. Columbo?

Every thing can be explained in one operation:

DAWN is DOWN

The flames rise higher and higher in the sky. The smell of burning wood mixed with the smell of burnt bodies, wafting through the sea air heading their direction as they made their escape through the back of the island, behind the Goa castle.

Half of Dawn island was annihilated. A Buster Call was called onto Fushia and Mt. Columbo. Goa was spared, but many outside the second wall were killed in unjustified incidents. Contained. In order not to alarm the nobles. -Dadan expected this much, after all, she raised Roger's kid.

"Da-dan…" Luffy's voice, hoarse from crying as he'd barely escaped from the tragedy with Makino. Makino, she was crying in Luffy's arms as she turns her back from the island she grew up in, planned to spend the rest of her days in. Now gone, along with the life she'd built for herself. Dadan knew she also held guilt, much like her who raised Roger's kid, she raised the other brat. She practically raised Dragon's child. And this is the price they pay. The lives of all the people on Mt. Columbo and Fuchsia are on theirs. Deep down, they knew they were the cause of this Buster Call.

The sight of the two made Dadan wanted to cry too. She'd lost her bandits to the gunshots and the fire. Saw some of them die right before her eyes trying to protect her and the others, to let them escape. Yet she held strong. Her eyes glistened, as the blazing fire and the red sun reflected in her stormy hazel eyes. Dawn was Down- Garp's code, not hers. There was no place for them now.

She takes the hood they used to escape the island, the one on Luffy was already exposing his hair. As gently as she could, she took the hood and covered his head. She'd never show affection to them, she swore it to Garp, and to herself, that she'd never get attached. Yet this was a boy she watched grow up. A rowdy boy she took care of when he was injured, when he was sick. A boy she tolerated, who's whimsical whims she secretly and covertly supported. Dadan would not give this boy up, what's left of her family is in this small fishing boat. She knew Makino too, regrets nothing.

Makino, Luffy, Dogra and Magra. Only five of them in a sea of uncertainty.

The night falls on the land and sea. The winds have taken them far far away until Dawn was but a speck of light on the dark of the sea and night sky.

Dadan breathes. Her family had cried themselves to sleep, and the world was silent. She finally relaxed as she watched over them. She'd finally cried, the tears she worked so hard to hold in. What would they do now? She wondered to herself.

Where shall they go now?

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Shoot, I started a new fic before I could finish the others. XD Holler if you want this or if I'm scrapping the idea. Well, Enjoy! While it's up. XD

BTW, who else are brainless women in OP? I've come to believe Oda had written more stupid and gag male characters than women, but no woman was written to look dumber (in the whole series) than Dadan, next to Jora, but Jora is smart just looking for someone to understand her art, but Dadan is loved and she cares about her family, but she really isn't the smartest in OP. Literally has NO IDEA ABOUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE the East Blue. She even wondered who were the Tenryubito. She is clearly uneducated other than in the arts of banditry and basic reading and writing and house chores. I've come to recently ship Whitebeard with multiple characters his age and realized, if there was one person I'd like Whitebeard to meet, I'd like him to meet Dadan. The very woman who's dumb and clueless to a tee about the world, who wouldn't know about his title unless someone tells it to her face that she's facing the strongest man in the world, and would be too defensive and tempermental to even consider respecting the man and fearing him like Garp. And Whitebeard is no Garp.

So with thaaat... let's get on with the show!
