They Don't Know About Us
Author's Note: Hey everyone and welcome back to They Don't Know About Us! I do want to say that there will be no Rape/Non-Con in this fic. Especially since I am making a dark version of this fic. Teach is just creepy and does some things that will make you want him even more dead. Don't worry though, I have plans xD
As for what I talked about in my last author's note about the alternate version of this, I did post it under "Fight Together" starting with Roger's backstory. The other backstories probably won't change much but I will be editing things out and adding others into it. So, the first like two chapters are all new content that were actually going to be apart of this and I forgot too. Oof. Ace's backstory will change slightly as it will end as he gets to Marineford. Marineford will be edited and expanded, as well as a lot of the post canon events changing because the pregnancy storyline is being taken out. I'm also taking out another thing I did here with Rayleigh from that fic. I'll let you guys know when it would be new content if your interested in it that way you can skip any chapters that you might not want to read again or have already read. If there is new parts in it, I'll let you know! Anyway, on with the fic!
Thank you all for reading this fic and I'm so happy that you are enjoying it!
Chapter Warnings: Teach is just his own warning
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Skyscraper (by Demi Lovato)
Chapter Summary: Ace hatches his own plan upon discovering that Teach is still alive. Training is put on hold as all focus turns to Shanks' abduction as rescue operations are put into place. Meanwhile, Sengoku and Garp depart from Marineford. Later, Teach puts his plan into motion.
Everything had been put on hold. The revelation of Teach's survival with the addition of Shanks' abduction. It had everyone on edge. Especially making sure that Mihawk couldn't get to Buggy. Ace was sure that if Mihawk injured Buggy, Shanks wouldn't be happy about it. Even if Ace wanted to punch the clown's face in. The Alpha had the worse timing in history. Seriously.
Ace chewed on his thumb nail, listening to Whitebeard, Rouge, Dragon, Mihawk, Benn, and the Commanders starting to make plans to go after Shanks. How the hell did Teach survive? How the hell did they not notice his presence? They were in the presence of highly skilled Observation Haki users. Hell, Shanks was excellent with his Observation haki. More times than Ace could count, him and Luffy faced off against Shanks who was blindfolded and never won.
He should have known this wasn't over.
It felt too easy when Sengoku called for the cease fire.
Every warning that Shanks and Mihawk had ever told him only started to reign even more in the forefront of his mind. How Shanks always had an unsettled look on his face whenever he would mention Teach. He was now starting to understand why Shanks never took them to see Rouge's crew. He didn't want to come in contact with Teach.
His gaze moved back to Mihawk. There was something the Alpha wasn't telling them. The way his poker face seemed to be slipping through the sure amount of anger that he was in. The way his thumb twisted the ring on his finger. The tension in his shoulders. There was more there.
He wanted to try and conclude that Shanks was a victim of opportunity, but it was appearing less and less like it. That it was planned from the start. Shanks had attacked Teach at Marineford. Settling the score over what Teach had done to him just before he got pregnant with Ace. Teach's words to him at Marineford only cemented it into place. Teach told him that he had been close to having Shanks back at Loguetown when Shanks was there. He would only guess it was following Roger's death. That would be the only time that he knew for sure. That he could have had them both. It left a bitter taste in his mouth. Teach was more than just a creep. He was obsessive. A growing obsession that he's had for over twenty years with Shanks alone.
He almost hated the thought that Teach could have done anything to him over the course of the three years that he was with the Whitebeard Pirates alongside his former subordinate. That Teach had enough power even without the Yami Yami no Mi that he could have been able to defeat him.
That Teach's obsession with Shanks moved onto Ace.
It was disgusting.
Ace wished with everything in him that Teach had died back at Marineford. How could he not? He didn't understand how one man would be able to withstand all those attacks he received and still manage to kidnap someone stronger than he was.
He was going to kill Teach himself.
Even if it was the last thing he did.
For what happened to Thatch.
Himself.
Threatening to kill Luffy.
For Shanks.
Who knows what was happening to Shanks in that moment.
It only made him even more sick to his stomach at the thought of what could be happening to his Omega father in that very moment. While they were standing here talking about how they were possibly going to save him.
He could only hope that Teach had no idea that Shanks had a vivre card, and they had a way of finding him.
He turned his attention back to Whitebeard. "Alright, so with the coated ships, we'll follow Shanks' vivre card. With the amount that we have, we can split off into groups and approach from multiple sides." Sabo stated. "He'll most likely be expecting us if he believes that we know he's still alive."
"It'll work better in our favor if he continues to think he's safe. That we think he's dead." Rouge stated. "As much as I hate to say it, Shanks has to hold on a little bit longer. We have to do this by surprise, or he might just kill my son."
"He won't kill him." Mihawk stated.
Ace eyed the Alpha for a moment. He was so sincere. Though, with what Teach said to Ace at Marineford. He could believe it.
"How can you be so sure that he won't kill Red-Hair the second he sees us?" Marco growled, palms slamming on the table.
"How can you be so calm about this?" Buggy questioned. "He's your husband. Your mate, and you are just as collected as usual."
Mihawk's gaze sharpened again, the fury laced within the golden color that reflected from them. "I'm even more livid than any of you. Probably aside from Rouge herself." Mihawk stated. "I just know that now that Teach has him… he won't let him go."
Ace crossed his arms, narrowing his gaze on Mihawk. "What do you know?" He questioned.
Mihawk peered over his shoulder just for a moment as he looked back to the others. The tension only getting deeper in his shoulders as his nails dug deeper into his jacket. "When that bastard scarred Shanks' face…" All eyes were on Mihawk now. Ace could see the through the corner of his eye the anger flaring onto Rouge's face. The snarl that came. Marco had told him about Rouge going into a frenzy during that moment, and how it had confused all of them to why she had lashed out at her subordinate. Now it would make sense to them. They knew that she had because she had watched her own son being attacked. "Shanks wouldn't look me in the eye when he told me what happened. His eyes… they always tell the full story even if he's got the perfect poker face." Mihawk gritted his teeth, the way the scowl settled deeper on his face. "That bastard told Shanks in that moment that he could at any time go for him and make him his bitch. That people like him belong chained to a bed and dominated by people like him." Ace felt the air catch in his throat. Teach had always praised Ace for how strong he was. How much he didn't care for the old society rules and standards that had been set for Omegas long ago. He had been fooled all this time. He had just thought it was an obsessive attraction.
He could feel the anger starting to flare off of the others as Rouge's fist came down on the table, the force cracking the wood. "I should have killed that son of a bitch."
Even Buggy looked beyond furious. His face flaring up red as his face contorted into a scowl. "I knew that fucker was a monster." He barely caught the blue-haired Alpha saying it through the growl that he had released.
Mihawk's eyes settled on Shanks' vivre cards that were within glass jars on the table. "I saw true fear in Shanks' eyes that day. The normally fearless and carefree spirit had been stripped away from him in a single moment. Shanks knew the power that Teach possessed. Shanks believed every word that bastard told him." Mihawk continued. "I was prepared to fight the entirety of the Whitebeard Pirates just to cut that bastard down for what he had done… if it hadn't been for Shanks stopping me, I would have."
"That was the moment for you." Rouge muttered, placing her hand on Mihawk's arm. "We'll find him, Dracule."
Mihawk turned his head just enough to look at his mother-in-law and with a nod. "Because of that very statement, I know for a fact that Teach will keep him alive. Will do anything to keep him." The Warlord frowned again as he looked back to the vivre cards. "There's more to this. It's more than just abducting Shanks. If Teach was willing to take him while there were so many of us around, there another motive behind his actions."
Marco hummed, leaning against the table as he looked down at the map. "Sabaody had to be just opportunity. If Teach had thought it completely through, he would have waited until we made it to the New World and the Red-Hair Pirates returned to their territory." Marco stated, humming. "Why Sabaody? Why now? When all of us are still together?"
"My assumption would be so his ship didn't have to be coated." Dragon said, "If he got a mechanic to coat his ship, word would move around Sabaody and in turn to criminals and the World Government of his survival."
"So, Sabaody was his perfect opportunity. Even if it meant he had to risk the possibility of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Strawhats, the Red-Hair Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, plus all of the allies." Benn spoke. "It was coordinated. He knew exactly what he was doing. He probably was watching Shanks the entire time we've been on Sabaody. Laying in wait for the moment to strike."
Whitebeard made a noise, his Bisento hitting the ground as a growl erupted from him. "That snake probably snuck right out during the cease fire. He followed us back here."
"That must mean he watched the incident between you and Mom." Ace stated, sending a glare at Buggy.
"My guess, he made his move almost immediately after Buggy walked away." Rouge added.
"Why are we just standing here? Why aren't we going after him!" Luffy suddenly shouted. "The longer we stand here and talk, the longer our mother is with that bastard! He defeated Ace. He has the stupid ass Devil Fruit. He could be doing anything! The more time we are standing here talking, the longer he is alone with him!"
"We know that, Luffy." Mihawk replied. "Teach is a lot smarter than he appears. We have to plan carefully."
Luffy huffed, crossing his arms as he grumbled. "I want to kick his ass."
"I do too." Mihawk whispered.
Ace turned his gaze back towards the table again as the others continued talking about the plan. He was being kept out of it. Being withheld from being allowed to fight. In reality, it was the best choice. He had already put his pup in enough danger. Put his body on the line at Marineford. For the last few months he had been away from home.
This… this was different.
He couldn't just sit by and watch from the sidelines.
Not when they all came for him.
Shanks needed him now.
All the vivre cards that belonged to Shanks were sitting in front of them.
All except for one.
Which was within Ace's pocket.
X
A ship was prepared for their departure from Marineford. Some of the strongest Marines on board the ship alongside Sengoku and Garp. The ship pulling out of the dock. Garp stood on the mast, a scowl on his face as he looked out at the sea. The devastation was still there from Marineford being destroyed by Whitebeard.
How could they let this happen?
Blackbeard should have been confirmed dead by a Marine and his crew taken into custody as soon as the ceasefire was called.
It was pure carelessness on their part. They should have seen this coming.
They should have known.
"Garp!" Sengoku bellowed from behind him.
Garp didn't even look over his shoulder as Sengoku approached him, but he did address him, "What, Sengoku?"
Sengoku's movements stopped. "Change of plans."
X
Shanks had been left alone for the most part. His shirt had been left open, still sprawled out at his sides. The sick feeling he got in the pit of his stomach just from the simple touch that Teach would leave against his skin. The urge to puke at the thought that Teach knew exactly what to use against him to keep him complaint.
Just like those words Teach spoke to him all those years ago. The ability to take him whenever he wanted. Shanks had believed those words back then. It had been another reason to why he avoided the Whitebeard Pirates. He respected Whitebeard and all the Commanders but Teach was part of the main crew. Around even when Roger was still alive.
He had every reason to believe Teach's threats.
Him just being alive was proof enough. Maybe even Shanks had misjudged his power. He knew he was stronger than he revealed to others, but he didn't think it was like this.
The blindfold was still over his eyes. Cuffs around his wrists that were biting harshly into his skin. His arms had been bound even tighter to the point he couldn't even move them now, pinned behind his head in the almost upright position he was in. He could only rely on his Observation Haki at the moment. Sounds.
He was sure that by now the others would have realized he was gone. His crew knew him better than anyone. Knew his patterns. Knew everything. They would know something was wrong. Hell, Shanks wasn't even sure how long he had been missing for. He still had remanences of whatever Teach drugged him with in his system and he was positive the second he tried something, Teach would only drug him again. If he could stay lucid, the better. If he found his opportunity, he would take it. No matter what Teach said. Ace was surrounded by people who were strong enough to protect him.
Well, if Ace didn't get stubborn again that was.
Ace's temper could really get the best of him at times.
He just hoped this wasn't one of those times.
He gritted his teeth as he heard the footfalls approaching, the laughter that always seemed to follow Teach when he was in a good mood. The hairs on the back of Shanks' neck standing up as he heard the door open and slam behind the man.
The cackling came next as the bed dipped down, signifying that Teach was now sitting on it. The man's back touching Shanks' side. The Omega knew it was coming. The hand that came up and grabbed his jaw. Fingers forcing his mouth open before something was dropped inside, followed by a liquid that had Shanks coughing and sputtering before a hand covered his mouth.
"Just be good for me, Red-Hair." Teach drawled.
Shanks' lungs burned from the lack of oxygen. His eyes burning as they touched the fabric. He felt the liquid go down his throat as the pain rippled through him a moment later. The second he was forced to swallow, he heaved as Teach's hand moved away from his mouth. Praises coming from Teach a second later as his hair was moved out of his face.
"Do you want to know my plans, Red-Hair?" Teach questioned. If Shanks could look at him, he would be glaring. Instead, he settled on a scowl, baring his teeth as he made a noise. "At first, my plan was to take ahold of the old bastard's territories, take his position as a yonko after we killed him. Steal that devil fruit of his. The destructive power it has…" His voice trailed for a moment as Shanks felt the blindfold being ripped from his head. Pulling at his hair that had him grimacing for a second. The light blinded him, hitting harshly into his eyes from how long they had been shielded for. This time, he was able to send a glare at Teach. The laughter that followed from the Alpha as his hand moved to sooth down his hair. The Omega moved away from the touch. Teach seemed to take the hint, pulling his hand away as he turned to face the door instead. "My plans have changed. First, I'll take my revenge on you for what you did to me at Marineford."
Shanks growled. "Call it payback for what you did to me, bastard."
Teach laughed. "If you say." He paused, sighing as he added, "Second, I'm going to go take over all your territories and take your title of yonko of the sea from you."
Shanks froze.
Teach wanted what?
"After that, you'll be mine to do as I please. I don't want to just take you at any moment. I want you willing. Compliant." Teach started cackling at him again, the look of hunger in his eye. "You'll make a fine wife. Gotta teach you how a real Omega acts though."
Shanks felt the anger surge through him as he kicked his leg up, coating it in haki as it connected with the back of Teach's head. Knocking the Alpha into the floor. The Omega froze, eyes widening as he realized what he had just done. Teach's head snapped in his direction. Nostrils flaring. Eyes sharp as he pulled his knife from his sheath.
For Teach's size, he moved quickly, looming over the bed now, his thighs locking Shanks' hips into place, hand wrapped around his throat as the knife tip touched the Omega's cheek. Shanks choked on the air in his throat. His airway once again cut off. "What did I tell you, Red-Hair?" Teach hissed. "I know I can't defeat you. At least not yet… but I can defeat both of your brats. Commander Ace proved as much. You want me to kill them?" Teach's hand got tighter, the black dots covering Shanks' vision. "Don't make me take the thing you love most in this world from you, Red-Hair. I'm trying to be nice to you. I won't even cut up your face anymore." Teach's hand moved from Shanks' neck, letting him take in oxygen once more as he coughed against the hoarseness that came to his throat. Shanks knew what was coming next as Teach's palm came down and struck him in the cheek. This time his lip busting underneath the hit. The metallic taste entering his mouth as he continued to take deep breaths.
Teach cackled, the knife moving down over Shanks' torso, digging in just above his navel until a trail of blood started over Shanks' stomach. The slight burning sensation that followed. It wasn't a deep cut by any means. Just enough to break open his skin.
His neck burned. The connection between his neck and shoulder more specifically. The pain throbbing over the glands there. The heat twisting in his abdomen. He grimaced as the pain shot through him. Biting onto his bloody lip as it started to intensify.
His eyes widened as he thought back to when Teach first came into the room.
What the hell did Teach give him?
Teach smirked. "Just relax. It'll be over soon."
Shanks felt like he was going to be sick as Teach released his arms. The joints of his shoulders almost completely numb as his limbs slumped onto the bed. The numb, almost asleep, feeling following. His mind started to feel foggy as his vision danced. The feeling of the world spinning as his wrists were released from the cuffs. Thumbs rubbing soothing circles over the aggravated skin.
His nose twitched as the scent reached his nose. The pain coursing through his neck again in another wave that sent fire down his spine. The sweat breaking out on his body as an arm moved underneath his shoulders, pulling him up. Another hand moving through his hair. Gentle swirls moving across his scalp. Almost trying to lull him back into unconsciousness. His body felt weak again. Sluggish.
He curled up on his side, his breathing coming out in small puffs as the nausea kicked in again. His head landing on something soft. The smell almost putting him into a trance. The world around him was a haze. The hand that settled on his lower back, circles being massaged into the dips of his hips. Working at the tense muscles in his back.
He hated how he sighed in content, his eyes fluttering shut as he curled up. Seeking out the warmth.
What the hell is happening to him?
x
It was all working to perfection. Shanks' breathing was labored, the sweat slicked across his skin. Glistening in the light of the lantern. He was positive that Shanks didn't even realize where he was anymore. Lost within the depths of his own mind. The grin on his face as Shanks all but curled into him. Seeking the warmth that radiated off of him.
Shanks had a way with words, but so did Teach. He knew exactly what to say to get his point across. He had been torturing this poor Omega for years at this point. The scars to his beautiful face had been his masterpiece. Breaking through the very defenses that Shanks had been working years on. Almost perfected at the levels of his former nakama.
Teach wasn't completely a barbaric man.
He could theoretically take whatever he wanted. That's what a pirate did. He could have with Ace. The torment that he put his sweet Commander through. Ace was just as beautiful as his Omega father was. The sharp glance. The way with words. The temper was different. Shanks didn't have that temper. It was appealing to see the contrasts between the two. What they had in common. What they differed in. Ace has always been attractive. Someone that could fit Teach's tastes. He had every chance to do as he pleased to Ace when he was in the brig of his ship. But, he wouldn't. No. That wasn't the case. Not with these two.
Red-Haired Shanks was something entirely different.
An ultimate prize.
He could stick true to his word. Follow exactly what he told Shanks all those years ago. The promise he had made to him. No. He wasn't just going to take it. He could have done that at any time. Back when Shanks was grieving in Loguetown over the loss of his father and Captain. When he scarred his face. Even now. Shanks was delirious. Lost within his own mind. The fever spiking through his body.
He could if he wanted to.
But, he wasn't going to.
No. He wanted Shanks docile to him.
Willing.
The same could be said for Ace. However, Ace was like an uncontrollable inferno that would only continue to strengthen. The only thing that could – maybe – keep him from reacting was the little life growing inside of him now that he actually knew about it. Teach had gotten great pleasure in learning on Banaro about that little development. The way Ace's own haki was working to protect the one place that Teach had struck.
Shanks' mind wouldn't simply break to the point of Teach having complete control if he just took what he wanted. That is what a pirate did. They were free of rules and restraints. Doing and taking whatever they pleased. Even if that was people.
Teach wanted to do this differently.
Taking what he wanted wasn't enough here.
No.
He was going to shatter everything that was Red-Haired Shanks.
The ultimate form of revenge against that Sword wielding bastard. Against his supposed father who stabbed him directly in the back. Though in all defense of his former Captain, Teach did deserve that one. Revenge for taking his eye from him.
The moment his infatuation with Red-Haired Shanks had all started because of that fateful meeting. When Shanks was just a young apprentice. Meeting on the island when the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates clashed for three days and three nights. Feeling the power that came off of him despite how weak he looked. How he carried himself despite how young he was. Carrying himself unlike any other Omega that he had ever met. So much like Commander Rouge had. He carried himself as an equal to his Alpha and Beta counterparts.
The one true moment that led Teach to wanting this Omega was how he reacted to his fellow apprentice. When that bastard Buggy called him a monster all because he had never slept. Shanks… Shanks reacted so interested. Curious to how Teach could do it. Even denied to his fellow nakama that Teach was a monster. Stating that he was just a human who got to enjoy life twice as much as they did.
It had ignited something within him in that moment.
That's when he knew.
It was unlike anyone else.
The first time someone had never called him that.
The only other person to look at him with such fascination had been Commander Ace. Before Ace had became his Commander, he had came to Teach for his opinion. His approval to accept the position on a respect level. The fascination he remembered seeing plastered on Ace's face when he discovered that Teach never slept. Didn't need to sleep. Asking questions on how with such delight. Though, all that changed the second Teach had turned against his nakama. However, seeing Ace's determination to protect his family had worked to make Teach want him as a member of his crew that much more. Commander Ace was incredibly strong. A good ally.
They were something that Teach never thought he would see.
Even his old former Commander looked at him like he was some demon.
Commander Rouge had looked at him with such suspicion since the moment they met. Like she was questioning everything about him. She might have been beautiful. Strong. Someone Teach could rely on.
No.
To her, he was a monster.
She had been a block directly in that path of his plans.
The power that Shanks possessed was something that Teach wanted, and Commander Rouge had kept him from getting it. Going in and retrieving that power directly from him.
His eyes settled back on Shanks. The Omega's eyes were closed now. The trail of blood coming from his lip and over his torso. The Alpha reached over from a rag, carefully adjusting Shanks on the bed until he could reach. Wiping away the blood on his lip before moving onto the pretty trail he had left behind.
This one amazed him. Even more so whenever they would cross paths.
For all those years he kept silent. Feeling the bond between Shanks and Gold Roger. Knowing almost immediately they were related by blood. That small subtle moment that happened back on that island between Shanks and Roger that put everything into perspective. Seeing the way Shanks acted around Commander Rouge. Even though Shanks showed respect to their positions on the seas. Captain and Commander respectively, it had been within the depths of his eyes. Lingering with more than just respect between an apprentice and someone stronger than him.
Shanks' eyes fluttered open just enough that he could see the fog that shined over them. Soon enough the drug will work its way through Shanks' system.
Just by then, those bastards at Sabaody will notice Shanks is missing.
He could bank on them not knowing of his survival. Though, he wanted them to know he was still alive. That they had failed in the one common goal aside from Commander Ace's rescue that they shared. It's why he left the hint of his survival behind.
If Dracule Mihawk was out of his mind, he would make mistakes. He had seen the tick back at Marineford. His reaction to Shanks attacking Akainu. He couldn't full out take on Mihawk. The Alpha was just too smart. Too calculating in his movements. He would be able to strike him down if he had the chance to.
Commander Rouge would fall to her own instincts. Letting Teach in just because of her concern over Shanks. Ever since he had attacked Shanks, Rouge had been keeping tabs on him. She had been exactly what he was hoping wouldn't happen. She was more vocal about her distrust of him. Even if she had been his direct Commander.
Ace.
Ace would do exactly what he had done before.
He would come for Shanks, and no one would stop him.
Teach didn't need anything from him now. Didn't need a gift for the Government. He already had everything he needed and wanted.
He knew the others would follow close behind.
So, for the moment, he would stash Shanks somewhere before the showdown took place.
It would be all or nothing.
Teach was almost itching in excitement for the day.
X
It was nightfall by the time they had gotten all of the small ships coated. The same ships that would be taking those who were going after Teach with them. Luffy was going to be with Rouge and Dragon's team. The Strawhats joining alongside them and the members of the Second Division as well as a group of Revolutionaries.
The Red Hair Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, and Revolutionaries were split up over the seven groups that would be going.
Luffy had an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach as he headed towards his shared room with Ace on the Red Force. Ace had slipped off at some point during the planning. Saying that he was sick to his stomach and would be back.
He never returned.
The Alpha hummed to himself as he opened the door. Pausing as he noticed items missing from the room. His straw hat was sitting on the bed side table. Ace had been wearing it earlier that day. Hanging on the back of his neck. Keeping it safe just like he promised Luffy he would until Luffy got it back from him. The Alpha walked over, picking the hat up and frowning.
Why would Ace just leave it here?
Sure, it was safe on the Red Force, but Ace hadn't taken it off even when he had gotten his own hat returned back to him. Luffy felt his breath hitch as he looked up at the hooks on the wall. Noticing the missing orange hat, watermelon bag, Hotaru from their hooks.
He turned on his heel, walking out of the room as the dread filled his stomach. Those shouldn't be missing. They should still be there. He rushed out of the cabins with his hat in hand, rushing across the deck and ignoring the others as he went over to the side of the ship.
Peering over the side, the rope that held Striker to the ship was floating in the water.
Striker was gone.
Luffy reached into the band of his hat, pulling Ace's vivre card from the confines. Letting it settle on his palm as he watched the way it fluttered and pulled away from him.
"Damnit, Ace!" He shouted.
Ace had left.
Using their planning as a distract to leave on his own.
He knew what they would say to him.
Ace wasn't assigned to any of the teams. Told to stay in Sabaody.
Luffy should have known it wouldn't work.
It was Ace, after all.
The problem was, he went alone.
A war broke out last time this happened.
Striker was fast because of Ace's Devil Fruit. He would be long gone by now.
Luffy turned on his heel, running from the deck, slipping his hat onto the back of his neck as he held Ace's vivre card in hand, rushing back towards where the others were preparing their own departures. His hurried run caught the attention of the others as eyes turned to him.
"Ace, he's gone. He went after dad."
X
Ace knew this was wrong. That this was stupid. He knew full well exactly what Teach could do. The power he had. Though, nothing could stop him now. The feel of the wind in his hair. His hat settled on his head. His hands in his pockets as he leaned back against the sail. His eyes locked to the ocean ahead of him. The glow of his feet being the only light that he had. His shirt was thrown over his bag that was settled in the seat. His mark proudly displayed to the world just like it should have been.
He could feel the anger coursing through him even more now as he held his palm out for the vivre card that belonged to his Omega father settled there.
Luffy was completely right.
They had no time to waste.
He didn't need to look over his shoulder to know that Sabaody was long gone at this point. All the things he needed within the confines of his bag.
The others could be furious at him all they wanted.
He only had one thing on his mind.
Killing Teach one and for all.
