SailorStar9: We finally hit Chapter 100 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, patriotic-retainer Law/Sasha

Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichirō-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 100: Arc 8: Aftereffects of Dragon Law! Peak of the Luffy vs. Lucci Battle

"Wait, what about the Buster Call..." Robin reminded, after the light died down and the bridge was silent.

"Dragon Law is an attack that affects only those whom I consider an enemy." Sasha replied. "That choice is determined by my heart and it is not something that can be lied to."

"Then..." Robin gaped.

"The warships are most probably destroyed." Sasha replied.

"On the other side of this bridge, there's another convoy ship." Franky informed. "You think that's our ticket out of here?"

"Stealing that ship seems to be the only way to escape." Robin commented.

Elsewhere in the Luffy vs. Lucci fight...

The energy wave had knocked Lucci out of his hybrid form.

"This power..." the Gear Second Luffy sat up. "Was that Sasha?"

"What was that?" Lucci frowned, seeing himself out of his hybrid form. "I can't transform?" he tried to take on his leopard mode. "Was it because of that light? Soru!" he and Luffy crossed fists in the air.

"Jet Pistol!" Luffy sent his fist flying at Lucci, who barely managed to dodge the attack. "Jet Whip!" Luffy's kick sent the CP-9 agent into the wall.

"Soru!" Lucci teleported himself before Luffy. "Shigan: Oren!" he tried stabbing Luffy multiple times, only to have Luffy dodge every jab.

"Jet Stomp!" Luffy jumped into the air, sending an extended leg downwards and forcing Lucci to dodge and crash to a pile of crates.

What did the girl do? Lucci removed himself from the destroyed crates. I can't access my Devil Fruit abilities anymore. It is as if... he realized what had happened. She did more than just nullify my Devil Fruit, she removed it completely! Such terrifying power...

"Jet Pistol!" Luffy's next kick sent Lucci deeper into the wall.

"Just as I thought." Lucci noted, seeing the panting Luffy had reverted back. "It's just like steroids. You use your legs as pumps to speed up the flow of blood. If you were a normal human, that much rise in blood pressure would be enough to burst your heart. But as your organs and blood vessels are rubber, you can handle it. And ability usable only be a rubber human. You're surely pushing your body past its limits. Your body is hardly able to withstand it. You aren't very smart; you're shortening your life itself."

"It's better than having everything taken away from me." Luffy grinned. "I'll do everything I can."

"You wish for too much." Lucci snapped. "If somehow, there was someone who was running through the underground tunnel to reach us... Rankyaku!" he fired an air blade at the wall, releasing the seawater from the gaping hole. "This seawater will flood the tunnel and drown anyone who happens to be there. Nothing will go well for you, Straw Hat. Let's see how far you will go to achieve your silly hope of saving everyone."

SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
