"You... you didn't remember?" The blond asked back.
"I- i don't know what are you talking about."
"You were nearly died back then Luffy!" Zoro started wasting no time to explain.
* HnO HnO HnO HnOHnOHnOHnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Oh damn! Are we too late?" asked the voice.
"Shut up, asshole! It was because you keep clinging to me!" the other voice fumed, "AHH! LAWW!"
Everybody jerked and quickly put their attention on the source of the voice. There stood two figures in front of the ruins of the castle. A pair of blonds. Both wore an opposite color of cloths. The one with fair skin was wearing a perfect white shirt, black pants, and on his shoulder was a black long coat stretched to the floor. The other man was wearing a black shirt and white pants, on his shoulder was a long pink coat and a pair of red sharp sunglasses. The tanned man was wearing a shit eating grin, while the others was panicking like it was the end of the world. He wasted no time running to Law who lay immobile beside Luffy. Upon reaching, the man quickly picked him up.
"LAW! LAW!" worry was written all over his face. When he received no reaction, he quickly placed his ear on Law's chest.
"I wonder do we demon have heart in there….?" The sunglasses man asked with his white teeth still perfectly shown. With both hands inside his pockets, he walked steadily towards his friend. His demeanor was so haughty and full of pride. Aura of nobility was surrounding him.
"Shut up you jerk! Help me here!"
"Ouch~ harsh~" though he complied.
"WH-… who are you guys?" Sabo asked in confusion.
"It's okay Sabo. They are my.. uh.. our boss."
"You mean… he… they…?"
"Yeah. Demon king and his lo-"
"Ace…." a growl from the white shirted blond.
"WH-what?"
"Uhh…. Best you don't say anything here." Sanji interrupted, knowing perfectly it's not a perfect time to add another ruckus.
"Heeh? I'm just stating the truth." Though Ace fell in silent after getting a – not to soft – elbow from his lover.
"Hmm….. He won't die as long as his heart doesn't, though I have another question concerning that…." The pink coated demon started explaining after done checking his subordinate.
"Wha… what do you mean?" The black coated guy asked back.
"Khehehe… He is now in the same state as me, and if you want to know about that in detail, we have to look for the one who had received his."
"A… AH?!"
"Yeah… at last your stupid son found someone he fond off. You can relax now."
"D-… Doffy-san you mean…?" Ace suddenly asked.
"Whaaaaatt…. Should I explain everything in detail?" complained the pink coat guy.
"So he is the demon king?" Zoro whispered to his blond.
"Yeah… he is waaaayyy more eccentric than your green head." He replied.
"Y-yoouu….."
"I'm just telling the truth." Sanji replied nonchalantly.
"So… so where is this guy who had received Law's heart?!" the blond beside the demon king asked again, his gaze was set to the fire demon. Ace blinked once, twice.
[D-… don't tell me…!"] Ace thought in panic, his gaze was quickly set on to Luffy's form in Sabo's embrace.
"From how you act, you do know something right, eh Ace?" Doffy stated.
"Uhh…. How should I explain these?"
"From the beginning!" demanded the black coat guy.
"Let not rush everything, Roci." Doffy tried to calm his partner, affectionately petting his shoulder. The one that had been called Roci sighed then sat down, while Law was still in his embraced.
"Well, it started that time…"
* HnO HnO HnO HnOHnOHnOHnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Where are you going?" Zoro asked, leaning to the tree with his back, arms were crossing in front of his well-built chest, eyes closing like he was concentrating on something.
"Nowhere in particular. Why?" The blond replied, flicking his lighter.
At first the green stayed silence, before he voiced it in the end, "….. Nothing."
"Really?"
"Say… it's only my hunch but… are you planning to go somewhere?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said." He sighed before answering.
"And why is that? Where did it come from?"
But Zoro didn't answer him. The green head stood still and locked their gaze together, straight, deep into his blue sea beads, stabbing into the deepest of himself. It was a strange one, so magnetizing, full of indescribable feelings. But somehow, Sanji could feel those myriads feelings inside of him. It wasn't a pleasant one. Sanji didn't understand why he gave him that look. And his heart clenched so hard it hurts. Really hurt. He didn't understand why seeing that look was stirring him hard.
"Wh-… what do you want? Stop looking me like that." Was the only retorted he managed to blurt.
Zoro sighed and closed his only eye.
"Nothing. I know you are a stubborn one. It's your life to choose but don't make the wrong decision." With that he left.
"O-oi..! What is the meaning of that…?! Baka-marimo!"
Zoro didn't bug, he kept walking towards the other, leaving the confused vampire alone.
[What the fuck did he want to say?! Does he know? It's impossible! And how the fuck do I know whether I made a good decision or not?! Tell me, moron!]Sanji chewed his tobacco, exasperated. Before long, he decided to leave the place.
* HnO HnO HnO HnOHnOHnOHnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"You mean they will be alright?" Sabo asked. Worried still hadn't leave him.
"As long as that little guy live on.. then yeah. I told you this before, right? One die, the other will die." Doflamingo explained while sitting on the ruins, "Hmph! Never know this piece of shit could do such ruckus." He continued, giving Diamante's body a cold glare. Cold enough it could freeze somebody. "I'll be taking this shit."
"…. Well, he was a jerk. Thanks to Luffy we could kill him in the end."
"He… he what?!" both Rocinante and Doflamingo blurted out surprised. Ace just sighed while Sabo widen his eyes comically.
"You heard me." Ace shrugged before continuing, "Luffy is a farlig and with his and Law's power, they managed to stop the traitor."
"So this guys does exist." muttered the pink coat demon.
"H...-huh? What do you mean by that?" Ace asked with curiosity burning in his eyes.
"Wait... do you know something about this?" Sabo quickly cut them in.
"Hmph... do you think because we demon don't want to involve with you humans that mean we know nothing? How fool..." Doflamingo said with a twisted smile on his face.
"H.. how do we know. We don't even know you guys exist."
"Though you handle it very well when you know about us. Ouch! Hey! What is that for?" The demon king whined when he felt a strong gut on his abdomen.
"Are you trying to explain something? Or picking a fight? If you are trying the latter, I won't stop you but... you know..." the black coat demon talked while puffing out his cig.
"Uh... I don't try any of it. Ckk! Fine.."
"He really is weak against him, isn't he?" Sabo whispered to the fire demon getting a chuckle as an answer.
"You never knew what they had been through but yeah... he is head over heel for him. For a long time now."
"Heee~ that's interesting."
"HEY! You can stop right there!" suddenly the black coated demon shouted, "or else…" he continued without finishing the lines.
"Okay, okay…" Ace said making a giving up gesture but his face was giving out a very peaceful happy smile.
"What with that smile?" Rocinante was frowning, annoyed.
"Naah… I'm just happy you guys both are back. You have no idea how scary was Doffy without you."
"Tsk! I know. Shut up. You don't need to mention that." With that the demon king partner's face tinting a nice rosy color.
"Well… anyway… welcome back!" Ace grinned, happily. Rocinante sighed, puffing out his cigarette he smiled back.
"I'm home." He replied. Both Sabo and Ace could see his eyes were starting to glaze with tears, as Doffy still smiling annoyingly clinging onto him.
"Uhmm… I don't wanna be a jerk but… do you mind explaining what's left?" Sabo said with uneasiness but he got no choice. He needed the explanation about everything that's connected to Luffy. About that prophecy the Verden Strazh told them back then weeks before.
"Ohh? You never heard about that?" Rocinante asked, while pushing Doffy's face away from his shoulder, "And you Mr. Demon King, can you behave like a real king?"
"Hey! I always behave like one."
"Well, as long as I remember, I've never encountered a king behaving like this. Believe me, I've seen a lot."
"Err… guys? Please focus." Ace sighed getting bored with their lovey-dovey act.
"How is everything going?" Zoro suddenly appeared from nowhere, questioning Sabo.
"Oh! Zoro.. where have you been? Where is Sanji?"
"He is…. Err…. I don't know. He was there seconds ago."
"Is it okay leaving him alone?"
"He is not a kid, Sabo." The Farligenete said with a stern, hitched voice. Sabo realized his uneasiness but decided not to press any more.
"Well, anyway, we're discussing about Luffy and Law."
"Are they going to be all right?"
"Yeah, for the time being."
"Anywayyy…. We're now discussing about the prophecy. Still wanna know about it?" Ace jumped into the conversation, "Roci…?"
"Yeah, yeah… sorry 'bout that." Rocinante said while giving his lover with a –little too harsh- gut in the stomach.
"So… uhm.. This prophecy…" Doflamingo cleared his throat before actually explaining, "There will be a group of people consisted of all the races in the world, and they will bring destruction or peace. So far, I never ever meet this guy and I doubt these kinds of people will appear. Yeah… it's impossible. Hahaha!" the demon king laughed,
"Oh you…." His lover just face-palmed himself while sighing. A demon king who always made joke on everything. That was the other reason why he was knows as Joker. He wanted to strangle him, like… know!
"What is this? Another prophecy?" Zoro asked a little confused.
"More like some new information to the previous one." Sabo answered with a frown on his features.
"…. Well, we might want to make it as precaution because we did succeed the impossible." the green head grumbled. He didn't want to believe in some bullshit but it did become a reality.
"Wow! It's so rare of you."
"Shut up… I don't want to."
"What do you mean by that?" now It were the demons turn to be confused – uh, minus Ace.
"About your prophecy hnn…. We might have all the races needed so, do you have any more information about the peace and destruction in that prophecy."
"All the races? An arrogant statement." Doflamingo said with a mocking grin.
"Do you know how much I wish it was only a bullshit?" Zoro retorted, getting a confused glare from both Doflamingo and Rocinante.
"Somehow… in way or another, our group consists of kind of Farligenetes, Farligs, a vampire, and a demon, even he doesn't want to be count into, my ehm… brother there will has a way to convince him, err… I think…." Sabo answered with a huff, though most of them could realize his voice was mixed with some kind of satisfaction towards his little brother.
"Hee…. I wonder what kind of person is he?" Rocinante smirked.
"Hnnh… considering he is the one who got that brat heart, he sure is a big deal." Doffy added, though his face was far from that usual cocky smile he usually had, "and I want and explanation about this group you mention before."
* HnO HnO HnO HnOHnOHnOHnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Say…" the blond gritted his teeth without finishing his sentence. The woman turned to see him, moving his eyebrow as a sign that she was listening to him. "Will he keep his promise?"
"Think so. We don't need them. They are just stocks in the end." Answered the pink lady with a smile still plastered on her elegant beautiful face.
Sanji sighed. He then lit his cigarette and took sometimes to enjoy that poisonous stick. After finished inhaling it, he threw it to the ground and stepped on it, so it won't make any unwanted disaster.
"Are you ready?" asked the woman seeing his gesture.
"Will ever I be?" He just replied with his usual sarcasm and followed Reiju into the portal where she came from.
He stopped just a step before entering and took one last glance over his back.
"This is a goodbye then..." he whispered softly. He let out a small laugh, a sad dejected one. He bit his lower lip, trying to erase the pain in his heart.
Suddenly a harsh wind blew. Then he heard something,
[I'll make you mine, even I have to go through hell.]
Sanji's ocean beads were growing in shock.
* HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO – To be Continued –HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
