I only own Ayumi…I'm not sure how many times I need to say this so I'll just say it again.
All right next chapter…
…
Ayumi walked in the room with Robin who closed the door and…locked it? She stood there for some time facing the door until she finally turned around and looked at Ayumi.
"Ayumi, please forgive me for this but I can't shake a feeling that I've had ever since Usopp's paranoia. You wouldn't hide something from me would you? You know that whatever secrets you have you can always tell me about then right? You realize that I wouldn't tell anyone else, right?"
"I know you wouldn't Robin."
"Well?"
Ayumi sat on her bed. What should I do? Maybe I can tell Robin…I mean she can understand what I've been through on Baroque but she would probably tell Vivi and the rest of the crew. Ayumi lowered her head. "You have all been so kind to me. Even though it's only been a week I consider this whole crew to be my family. Robin I do need to tell you something. I've tricked you all. I'm so sorry, if I knew you all before hand I probably wouldn't have done it but I had my reasons believe me and well…"
Robin used her devil fruit power to silence Ayumi for a minute. "Ayumi you need to stop rambling and tell me clearly what you mean!" She sounded irritated and slightly frightened…but she couldn't help but expect the worst was happening.
Robin removed the extra hand from Ayumi's face. "Robin my name is Miss Halloween."
…
Sanji walked down the hall to the galley to finish cleaning up. Once he had finished he slowly went to his room to turn in for the night. Right when he was about to climb into his hammock he heard a knock at his door. "For crying out load Luffy you're going to have to wait to eat in the morning!" He opened the door to find Robin.
"Get up now, the entire crew needs to meet me and Ayumi in our room."
"Robin what's going on? Can't this wait for tomorrow?"
"SANJI GET UP NOW!" Robin stomped off down the hall and Sanji could hear her waking the rest of the crew up.
"Ayumi…"
…
Sanji was the last one to enter Robin and Ayumi's quarters. As he walked in he saw that everyone looked confused and frightened. He looked over on and wall and saw Ayumi pinned to it with Robin's 16 flower combat move.
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO AYUMI?"
"Sanji don't you understand what's going on?" Vivi spoke with her head in her hands. "Usopp was the sane one this time. He was right. Ayumi is from Baroque Works!"
"Ayumi…is this true?"
She couldn't look at him. If someone else had asked this question she might have been able to speak but how could she find the courage to tell the only man she's ever cared about that she's betrayed him from the first time they've met?
"AYUMI LOOK AT ME! IS IT TRUE?"
Ayumi looked at him with tearing eyes. Her voice was chocked in her throat so she simply nodded.
The room was silent. "Ayumi." Robin said coldly. "Tell them what you told me."
"My name is Miss Halloween. I've worked in Baroque Works for the past 10 years of my life. When I told you how I got stranded on that island…I lied. The pirates who killed my father and destroyed my town that captured me…they were only two people, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine. They took me to Crocodile and I wanted to get revenge so badly I joined him thinking that one day I would be able to kill him. My mission was to get on your ship, retrieve information from Vivi and then take you to Congo Island where Crocodile and some of the Baroque Works members would be waiting to capture the princess and kill the rest of you."
"Then the attack from Mr.5 and Miss Valentine?"
"It was a failsafe so that you would all trust me incase there were any doubts."
Sanji stood by the window as the conversation continued. "Why tell us now when we're so close to Congo Island? Why are you telling us all of this?"
"Sanji…I…well. The truth is that after a week I got to know all of you so well I just can't be the cause of your deaths anymore. You all had to be so kind and fun, you were all the first friends that I ever had."
Sanji turned around. "WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND! HOW COULD WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS IF YOU WERE LYING TO US THE WHOLE TIME AND TRYING TO KILL US ALL! What are we going to do now? Nami is there any way that we could avoid the island without being noticed?"
"I checked already Sanji. We're a few hours from reaching it. We don't have enough time to turn around or pass it. The island is far too big and heavily populated for us to go unseen."
Zoro stepped up. "Well considering Crocodile wouldn't care if we held Ayumi up for ransom we're just going to have to fight our way out."
"NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Everyone turned to Ayumi. "First of all you don't know what the boat looks like, and second Crocodile will have too many high ranking members waiting. I don't have a doubt that Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, Mr. 1, and Miss Double Finger will be there. Knowing Crocodile he'll want to be there too to make sure that Vivi is apprehended."
Vivi stood up from the bed and walked over to Ayumi. "Are you sure of this? Or is this just part of your plan?"
"Vivi please believe me when I tell you that everything I am telling you right now is true."
"How can I Ayumi? I trusted you before, we all did. Now after telling us that you were lying all this time you expect us to trust you now!"
"Fine don't trust me. But you have to realize that I'm the only one that can get you all out of this alive."
"How?"
"First get all of these hands off of me and let me stand on the ground."
Robin complied with her request. "Crocodile's plan is for me to find the ship he's on, get close to it and then he'll ambush us and take Vivi. If we allow him to get on the ship we can give them a surprise attack. You'll escape Baroque once again and we might even kill Crocodile in the process."
"I don't like it but it's the only thing we've got. I'm in."
"Me too"
"Fine"
"And me"
…
The plan was finally finished and perfected. It would be an hour before the ship got to Congo Island. Many of the crew went to their quarters to prepare. Ayumi on the other hand decided to sit one last time on the sheep's head and play her violin.
"Why?"
Ayumi didn't turn around. She knew who it was already. "Why what Sanji?"
"Why did Crocodile take you in Baroque Works? What is your skill that he admired?"
"At the time I think he just wanted me to spy on the other members of his organization but then he saw something that even I didn't see. Do you remember when we first met? The tavern was filled with shouting drunk men but when I played they all silenced…do you know why?"
"No."
"It's because I can control people's emotions and actions when I play. It's not exactly like hypnotism but it's just as strong. That's how Nami and Vivi first found me I was playing a song that would automatically attract anyone who heard it. Basically I just needed to play until one of you guys found me."
"So you didn't just trick me and my friends you played with our emotions as well."
"Sanji I don't know what's going to happen later but I want you to know that whatever does happen I really did care for you and I'm glad we met."
"At least one of us does."
With that Sanji dropped his cigarette and walked away into the fleeing darkness. She wished she could do something to prove it to them but it was better if they parted at the end of this. Why did I think that I was special enough to have friends of my own?
…
"Robin can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Sure Vivi what is it?"
"Why couldn't we see that she was from Baroque Works? I mean we were both part of that organization for so long it seems that we would have seen something in her that would make us wonder."
"Honestly I never met her before this past week. When I was Miss Sunday I thought that I knew everyone. Crocodile must have kept her a secret from us so that she could spy for him or something like that. I wondered why I connected so well with her."
"Do you think that she's not trying to trick us again?"
"I believe that she does want to help us get out of here alive but I don't think that Crocodile told her everything that he had planned. You know how suspicious of everyone he is. I just hope that he doesn't have any surprises for her and us."
Just then there was a knock at the door. "Come in." Nami stepped in slowly.
"Robin. Vivi. It's time."
