Sanji took a deep breath and blowed the smoke away from his lungs. It the guy really was that powerful the crew should guard him. But now, when he almost was dead, Sanji didn't fear it.
He will never be capable to hurt us in that condition...

Or..?

-----------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 5: Breakfast in peace----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shadow slowly opened his eyes. He inspected the room he laid in with a vigilant look. Was he on a ship? How did he get here? He moved his arms and immediately the pain showed up. Shadow bit his lip and sweat run down his face, but he ignored the pain and pulled his arms up over the blanket and watched them.
Bandage. And a damn lot of them.
Shadow followed the bandages with his look and saw that they continued from the arms down his neck and shoulders. The thief slowly lifted the blanket only to find out that his whole over-body were covered in bandage.

-Strange- he thought and put the blanket back down. -Am I hurt that bad?-

It was then his eyes saw a round window in the wall. He could see the great ocean form waves and the seagulls who flied beside the ship. He also notice that the ship was rocking.

-So...This ship's crew have taken advance of my bad condition and...kidnapped me? That doesn't sound good...-

Shadow lifted his arm again and carefully begins to rip his bandage off. He gave the bandage a evil smirk.

-No, that doesn't sound good at all...-

"But I'm HUNGRY!"

"No, Luffy! You've already eaten your breakfast. Now, let us continue in peace."

"But Nami..."

"No. And DON'T POUT AT ME!"

It was early in the morning. The crew gathered for breakfast, and as usual, Luffy finished his first. Desperately, hungry after more, he had tried to steal the others food. After that Nami decided to tie him up. So there he was, drooling over the rest of the crew's breakfast. And they tried their best to ignore him.
Suddenly, Luffy and the chair he was tied against flew backwards.
Everybody looked up from their food and froze of what they saw.
Luffy tried his best to get air, and at the same time get his hand free. Shadow's smirking face slowly showed up behind him, and the bandage who almost strangled Luffy were tied around his fists. The thief smirked even more when he realized how helpless they all felt.

-..how?- Sanji thought and dropped his cigarette. He was about to run to Luffy's rescue, but when Shadow lifted his hands the chef stopped and could only look in agony when the poor captain gasped for air. Shadow attached his glance on everyone in the whole crew before he stopped at Zoro. The grin became even wider.

"Oh, godmornin' on you all. Hope I didn't disturbed you meal..."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

They froze. The grin of Shadow was gone and in his left hand he held a dagger. In the right he held the bandage that still was wrapped hard around Luffy's neck. The thief slowly lifted his weapon.

"Wait!"

Everybody turned around. Nami stood in front of the table with her hand lift. She bit her lip hard and took a step closer.

"If you don't release him, I ca-"

"I don't care about what you can or not," Shadow interrupt. "But If you wanna try, just do it."

Everybody looked at them, but Nami didn't move at all. Shadow's smirk slowly returned to his face.
Usopp, who tried his best to not show that he was frightened, took a step, a SMALL step closer to the thief.

"W-what do y-you want!"

Shadow raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't that my question?

Usopp closed his mouth and opened it again, not sure what to say. The rest of the crew turned their attention to the black-dressed lad, and he turned to face Zoro.

"But I have another right now. Going to answer it?"
Zoro slowly nod.

"Good."

Shadow faced his bandage.
"What happened to me?"

He faced Zoro once again.
"I'm...not really sure. I found you in an alley all covered in blood and with four bullets in your body.

Some pirates were shooting on you, and I killed them..."

Zoro saw on the navigator.
"If Nami haven't been so fast you wouldn't have make it. She saved you life."

Shadow's cold dark-red eye's faced the ones of Nami and the coldness in the glare made them all froze. Even thought it was only some seconds, the whole room felt colder for a moment. When Shadow look on Zoro again, he was like he used to be.

"And where are you taking me then?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He laughed.

The crew watched in chock when the thief laughed them all right in their faces. Zoro felt the anger inside and almost draw his sword, but Nami's hand on his shoulder calmed him down a bit.
Shadow stopped laughing.

"So you...expect me to follow you to that old man?"

No one said anything and the lad snorted. He was entertained.

"Ok. But I have a better idea. You will just change the course to the closest island around and drop me of there, and I promise that I wi- won't hurt this friend of yours more then I've already done." He let go of the bandage a bit so that the blue-faced captain would be able to breathe a bit easier.

Nami pull her hand of Zoro.

"No way that we will-"

"Nami."

Zoro's voice made the navigator stop. She faced him with widen eye's.

"But..."

"Right now Luffy's life is more important than my mission..."

"But you might never catch him again! Are you really going to"

"I have to."

He stared at the floor. Nami realized that he was right; they couldn't just throw away Luffy's life. How stupid she was who had thought that! She only thought about what's best for Zoro….

Shadow nod.
"Good. You choose the right answer, Haramaki-san." He grinned.

Suddenly the thief stumbled, but he got the balance back before he fell. He almost dropped the bandage. But when he was on his feet again the grip tightened. He shook his head.

"...you should-"

Shadow's eyes become smaller.

"Shut up… I don't need your advices…"
He shook his head again but the dizziness stayed were it was. He stumbled again.

"…..damn….what's..?"
Pain shut up in his side and when he touched it he felt something warm and wet who slowly drip down the black garment.

-The wounds,- Sanji thought. –It must have been the wounds who opened.-

Shadow seemed to have realized that to, cause the grin were now changed by an expression of insecurity. He breathed heavily by the pain when he faced the crew again and held the dagger in front of Luffy's face.

"Change the course now! If you don't, your poor friend here will have to choose between getting' strangled or get his neck cut of!"
