SailorStar9: With Chapter 186 uploaded, I present Chapter 187 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.
Guest: Yeah, I gave Sabo the Goro Goro Fruit near the end of the Water 7 Arc. As for Enel, I had Grandma Amazon off him at the end of the Skypiea Arc. Besides Enel, I also offed Blackbeard at the end of the Ace-Blackbeard duel episode since I had Ace, Sabo and Sasha triple-team Blackbeard.
Pairings: Ace/Sasha, sibling Luffy/Sasha and Sabo/Sasha, Background Protector!Law/Sasha
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 187: Arc 13: Escape Taunted! Re-meeting With Law
"This way, children!" Chopper led the path out of the Biscuits Room. "You better run if you wanna get out."
"This is rare for you, Chopper." Sasha noted.
"You sure are fired up." Nami agreed.
"Of course I am." Chopper bragged. "Sanji gave me a mission to protect the children and get them safely outside this building and I'm gonna do it. I will complete my mission."
"Why are the children..." several of the hazmat guards readied their rifles.
"Slide Evolution: Blizzard Plate Armor." Sasha swapped the 'Water Plate Armor' with its ice elemental equivalent. The 'Water Dragon Blade' was also exchanged for it's ice element equivalent; the 'Ice Dragon Blade'. "White Ripple!" a blast of ice froze the guards in front of them.
"Now, where should we go?" Nami wondered.
"You should figure that out." Chopper stated.
"Sheesh." Nami sighed.
"You said you weren't sick anymore, right?" Chopper asked while running. "What disease do you have? None of you you show any symptoms."
"I don't know." Biyo replied. "They just said 'You have a disease.' and 'You'll be fie after a year.'"
"A disease that passes after a year?" Chopper echoed.
"Yeah." Biyo nodded. "Mommy and Daddy asked some people to cure me and then these people took me here."
"So, your parents told you to come here?" Nami asked.
"No." Biyo shook his head. "It was those people, they told me all of this outside my house and then I was taken here. They said I could've infected Mommy and Daddy. I didn't even get to say goodbye."
"Was it like that for the rest of you?" Nami asked.
"Yeah." the other kids nodded.
Yeah right! Nami snorted. This definitely sounds like kidnapping.
"So, you were brought here by strangers and didn't even talk to your parents first?" Chopper inquired. "You know what this sounds like? You were suffering from a really terrible disease."
"Chopper," Sasha sighed. "Not even two years can cure your naivety."
"You all seem fine." Nami noted.
"Yeah, we are fine." Doran nodded. "Because Master has been treating us."
"Master?" Nami echoed.
"Yeah, Master." Biyo replied.
"But all of you've already been here for more than a year, right?" Sasha reminded. "Chopper, we have to take a look at them after this. Then, we'll know for sure if this isn't what I suspected it to be."
"The door's locked." Nami tried to turn the wheel that served as a lock. "There's no way out."
"Nami, move." Sasha instructed. "Frozen Slicer!" she let loose a trio of ice energy blades from her sword, effectively destroying the electronic lock. "Everyone, let's go." she informed the group.
"It's freezing!" Nami shivered when a blast of cold air blew from the deep freezer.
"Onee-chan, I don't wanna go in there." Mocha shouted. "It's scary. They took me through here when I first came to this island. Around us..."
"I see." Sasha noted, seeing the deep frozen giants within the deep freezer.
"I'm afraid of this place because there are frozen people here." Mocha confessed.
"We don't have a choice." Sasha insisted. "This is the only way out! Just close your eyes and run!"
"Look, there's a door." Nami spotted the laboratory's main door opened. "We can get out of here."
"There's someone in there after all." one of the G5- marines remarked, hearing the children's voices.
"I'm out!" Chopper burst out through the door.
"We're out!" Nami stopped in her tracks. "It's freezing." she exclaimed, shivering.
"We're out of the building!" Sind cheered. "We can go home!"
"Clear a path, children." in tank mode, Franky rolled towards the gathered children.
"It's times like this that really make me wonder just how much upgrades he gave himself." Sasha-hime sweatdropped, as Franky and Sanji rejoined the group.
"The Straw Hats..." Tashigi blinked. "And children?"
"Nami-swan!" Sanji sang. "You're alright! You're still lovely when you're freezing, but I don't want you to catch a cold, so take my jacket." he handed Nami his coat.
"I see we walked into a situation..." Sasha realized the group had walked into the Law-Smoker stare-down. "Yo." she gave Law a side look. "You look quite well after two years."
"It's the guy from Sabaody." Chopper recognized Law.
"Were you the one who imprisoned the children?" Nami accused. "We're not giving them back to you."
"And you!" Sanji turned to see Smoker. "Of all the atrocious fiends to run into, it's Smoker. This isn't good. We've run into the Navy. We can't go this way." he turned to the kids. "We'll have to find another exit. Hurry back inside."
"What's the Navy doing here?" Nami asked, the group turning back.
"It's going to be one of those days." Sasha sighed. "The promise from two years ago," she walked past Law. "Don't forget it."
"Yeah." Law nodded.
"Isn't the Navy supposed to be good?" Sind wondered.
"I suppose." Sanji replied. "You can go to them."
"No way!" Sind protested. "They look like gangsters."
"Ow..." Sasha mentally winced.
"They're here, aren't they?" Smoker snapped. "Alone, my ass!"
"They were indeed here, to my surprise." Law admitted. "Room." he activated his ability. "They've made things much more complicated. Tact." lifting a finger, he raised the Navy's warship. "I can't let you leave this island anymore. Sorry that I said there wasn't anyone here."
"Stand back." Smoker pulled out his jitte. "You can't lay a finger on him. He'd just pull it off."
SailorStar9: Any OOC-nes is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Reviews are much appreciated.
