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 136: Arc 11: The Messages Delivered!

Knowing that it would take some time for the messenger owls to return, Sasha set to work in the armory to repair her weapons by activating the runes surrounding the salt water bath and soaking her weapons into the stone basin one by one.

Elsewhere on Kamabakka Kingdom...

Sanji was seated on the rocky shoreline to catch his breath. Damnit, all the queers on this island are... he twitched, recalling the crossdressers chasing him along the seashore.

"Screech!" a Cloud-Forest Screech Owl landed on the rock in front of the blond cook and reached for the rolled-up scroll in its pouch. Depositing it in front of Sanji, it flew off with a creech.

"A letter?" Sanji claimed the parchment and unrolled it. "Two years?" he echoed after reading the message Sasha wrote on the paper. "If it's Sasha-hime's request, then I'll endure this for two years."

Elsewhere on Kuraigana Island...

The Southern White-Face Owl carrying Zoro's letter finally found the directional-disoriented swordsman running through the island's forest and fluttered in front of the moss-haired male, forcing said swordsman to stop running. Removing the parchment in its pouch and dropping it on the ground, the owl then flew off once it's mission was carried out.

Meanwhile on Namakura Island...

The Pharaoh Eagle Owl bearing Brook's letter landed on the hole of the ceiling of the building Brook had slept the previous night. Swooping down to the skeleton, the owl offered Brook the letter attached to the pouch on its neck harness. Its message delivered, the owl flew off.

On Birdie Kingdom...

The Brown Wood Owl tilted its head as it watched the heavily bandaged Chopper sleep. Seeing Chopper awake, it hooted and offered the scroll around its neck to the reindeer. The message delivered, the owl then flapped its wings and took off into the evening sky.

On Boyn Islands...

The white Crested Owl landed on the overweight Usopp's stomach, the sniper was now resting on his back. Hopping down to Usopp and giving the sharpshooter a disapproving bark, it reached into the pouch around its neck, dropped the scroll in front of Usopp and took flight.

On Tequila Wolf...

The Cuban Pygmy Owl had finally located Robin with the Revolution Army. Swooping down, it landed on the archaeologist's shoulder and dropped the rolled up scroll it was carrying onto the snow. Its message safely delivered, the owl spread its wings and flew off.

On Karakuri Island...

The snowy owl finally found Franky within Vegapunk's abandoned research laboratory. Landing on the only window in the roof, it flew down and perched itself on the floor between Franky and Kitton and extracted the scroll it was carrying with its beak and deposited it on the metal ground. Its job done once Franky retrieved the parchment, the owl took off.

Back on the 'D' Memoirs Island...

Sasha opened her eyes, breaking out from her mediation when she sensed someone approach the clearing. "You've finally tracked me down, Trafalgar Law." she cast a knowing look at the pirate surgeon.

"Thalassa -ya." Law returned the greeting. "Can you explain why I'm the only one allowed to gain access to this island? My entire crew is stuck out at sea."

"This island," Sasha started. "Used to be one of the many islands that Selena governed. Seeing how important the information this island contains, extra precautions were taken to ensure that only either me myself or those possessing the 'D' bloodline are able to enter this island unharmed. I do believe I owe you a talk."

"Indeed." Law nodded.

"But first," Sasha looked at him sternly with an expression that brokered no arguments from the older pirate. "Please tell me the reason why was your true name kept a secret?"

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