Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda EiichirÅ-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.
Chapter 158: Arc 12: Tension Inside the Ryugu Palace! Sasha Rages!
"Oh boy." Usopp sighed, the group were now left in the main hall. "When can we have a banquet? How long do we have to wait?"
"My stomach is growling." Brook remarked. "But I don't have a stomach to growl."
"Hey." Nami voiced. "It doesn't look like we're having a banquet anytime soon." she looked around to find the bubble they were encased in surrounded by the palace guards.
"Does this mean that we've landed ourselves in trouble?" Usopp wondered.
"I'm sorry that you came all this way here but we've just received a call." the Minister of the Left swam past them. "You Straw Hat people, you are suspects in 2 ongoing investigations."
"Suspects?" Usopp echoed. "What do you mean?"
"First, for multiple counts of mermaid kidnapping." the Minister of the Left declared. "Second, you people are suspected of being a potential risk to the Fish-Man Island due to Madam Sharley's prevision."
"Prevision?" Usopp repeated. "You don't know if that'll happen for real."
"Shut up!" the Minister of the Left snapped.
Is this the right thing to do? King Neptune mused.
"Therefore, we're here to take you people into custody." the Minister of the Left announced. "Catch them at any cost. We have to protect the Fish-Man Island. Go!"
"You know, the thing with previsions." Sasha drawled, the explosion of her Divine Haki rendering the palace guards immobile. "Not only are they are vague, they are also open for numerous interpretations. I, for one, never put much stock to prophecies: they are vague and open to numerous interpretations; the harder you try to bend prophecies to your interpretation, the more it will backfire. Neptune," she turned to King Neptune in full Dragon Empress mode. "Are you going to order your men to stand down or have you forgotten the penalty of turning weapons on Dragon Empress?"
I wonder if it is fair to arrest someone based on a prediction. King Neptune wondered. I need some time to think, jamon. "Thus," he raised his trident. "My deeper apologies, Selena-sama, you need to be in custody right now."
Just then, Zoro intervened, blocking King Neptune's trident with his swords.
"I heard the sound of this festival, so I let myself out." Zoro smirked.
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
