Hello again. Thanks the reviews. I wish it was four reviews for one chapter instead of three. So, if you guys can hit the four reviews then I will be super , time to reply to the reviews.
Pokemon r us- what do you mean 'lol I spell this right?' and '0o0'?
Demeter13909- Thanks. I hope you like the fluff. Here's a hint. There is going to be more fluff so beware.
Smile-Evilly- Yea about that lets just say it flat lines and it goes down hill for a bit then goes right back up and nevermind just keep reading you'll see why.
The water keeps dripping onto the floor. It keeps up me up but sometimes it makes me go to sleepy. I don't regret making fun of Crocodile. I don't regret on joining Luffy or protecting Vivi. The door opens to reveal Crocodile with a blank face.
"It seems your friends and Vivi are here in Rainbase," Crocodile said, walking up to me. I couldn't move or anything. I'm tied on a chair. There are many bruises that decorate my body. I couldn't breathe too well. I lift my head to meet his gaze.
"Good. Luffy can kick your punk ass," I croak. This basterd doesn't know how to treat a girl. Crocodile just chuckles a bit.
Smack
My right check stings. My head actually snaps to the left with the amount force he put into that hit. I hiss at him. I struggle a bit in my restraints.
"Is that all you can do? I thought Shichibukai are supposed to be fear of. Tsk," I said, growling at him. Crocodile clenches his hand into a fist and punches me in the stomach three times.
Then he takes out a very sharp knife. It is longer than three inches. He lifts my shirt up and tank top up. I struggle to get away from him. He starts to slice my skin, but deep enough to cause fatal wounds. He made it so that I bleed only a bit. When he is done with me, he backs off to admire his work. I start to breathe heavily. I swallow some of my spit. I could taste some of my blood. Slowly, I look up and smile. My teeth are a bit stain by blood.
"Hehehe, I… knew it. You finish up really quickly," I said, smirking. I didn't know I'm walking on paper thing ice now.
"I don't think you learn your lesson," He said, darkly. He turns around and opens the door. Robin comes in. He whispers something to her. Robin crosses her arms to form an 'X'. 'Oh, mother of god,' I thought.
"Dos Fleur," Robin said. Two arms sprout out of my back. They took a hold of my neck and slowly squeeze. Crocodile chuckles as he sees my pain face. I close my eyes and try to think of something. Slowly I lose conscious.
After hours of blacking out, I wake up to see Nami's face. My eyes widen and I jerk back. I hit my head against my cage.
"Angelina, are you okay?" Nami ask me. I look around and see the situation I'm in. I look at Nami and she grimace. I bet I look like death itself.
"I'm okay," I said, coughing a bit. After a short talk, Nami fill me in to what happen. I wonder why I'm in a kennel cage?!
I growl. When I get out of here, I will put the fear in god in Luffy. How dare him stand there and have that grin on his face when I am stuck here in a kennel size cage?! Especially when there is a Marine in there with him, Smoker could kill Luffy before Crocodile does. Yet, he just sits there and does nothing.
"Damn it, Luffy. Stop with the Sanji impression and bust out already," I yell at him. I knew they can't get out because it made out of sea stone, but at least make plans. I don't like being inside this cage. I guess Nami is on my side because she punches them good.
"Be serious, you guys. How can you guys like that in a situation like this?!" She screams at them. It's time like this, I'm glad I'm nowhere near Nami. I think I would prefer this cage now. I try to stretch my legs a bit but it seems that they have fallen asleep.
"But we can't get out. It's not like we anything better to do," Ussop mutter. I whimper a bit for two reasons. One reason is because Nami's bloodlust just grew. I could see it. The second reason is that my bruises are acting up again.
"It's serious because we can't get out! We might be killed like this! And why are you sleeping!" Nami screams, punching Zoro this time. Zoro calmly wakes up and rubs his eye.
"What, is it morning?" Zoro ask. I frown. 'Typical Zoro,' I thought. Then Crocodile chuckle a bit. I guess he found this pretty funny. Then Nami turn her anger to him.
"How dare he make fun of us?" she said, making a fist at him.
"Come on, Nami. Calm down," I said, trying to get her attention. Ussop hold her back so she doesn't get to close the bars.
"Crocodile!" a person yells, coming from the top of the stairs. I look to see it was Vivi with Robin right behind her. Everyone attention is on her.
"Hello Vivi, Princess of Alabastra," Crocodile said, opening his arms. He made a pause.
"I mean Miss Wednesday. You have done a great job of escaping my assassins," he said. Crocodile had a look in his eyes. A shiver went down to my spine and up again to my heart. I am looking at a predator now and Vivi and the rest of us are the prey. I move an inch back away from the front.
"Of course I'm alive, so I can watch you crumble," she said, with confident. I just watch this conversation play out. I look around my cage to see if there anything I can pick the lock. I see nothing. 'Please, Lord, let me get out if here alive,' I thought.
"It's your worthless country that is going to crumble, Miss Wednesday," he said emotionless. For a second it was quite, and then Vivi ran down the starts with her weapons spinning.
"If it weren't for you, my country would be at peace!" she said, yelling at him. We tried to reason with Vivi to stop and let us out of the cage but it was too late.
"Peacock Slash," Vivi yells. Crocodile just let it hit him. His head just disappear. Vivi lands on the table with shock. Didn't she know he's a devil fruit? I grunt a bit as I move myself so I would be on my knees.
"Are you satisfied, Miss Wednesday," He said. He reappears behind her. His large hand covers her mouth and his hook around her wrist.
"Did you forget my 'Sand Sand' fruit ability? Shall I turn you into a mummy?" he asks.
"Sandman!" Ussop announce. My throat closed up. I open my mouth and could not say a word. Fear took its grip on me. Vivi was about to die in front of me.
"Let go of Vivi, you basterd," Luffy scream at Crocodile. Tears start to come down from my eyes and I didn't notice. Crocodile just push Vivi onto a chair and walk away from her and us.
"Sit there and stop glaring at me. It's about time to start the party. Am I right, Miss Sunday," Crocodile asks her. Robin smiles at him.
"Its past seven," she said. I felt something land on my hand and it was water. I notice that I was crying and I wipe my tears away. Vivi didn't get hurt. 'Not yet' I thought.
I thought the only evil in my life was the devil. An evil demon hell bent into tainting the souls of humans so they cannot reach up to heaven.
Then I hear horrible stories from Nami about her past. Arlong became second in command.
Then it was the faceless man name "Blackbeard" who killed a nakama and leaves destruction in his path.
After hearing Crocodile's plan and knowing that it was going right now, he made the devil look like a pansy. This man makes me sick. I didn't comprehend what just happen. I'm trying my best to not throw up right now.
"Angelina, are you okay?" Nami asks. I shake my head. I put my head down try to get rid of these feelings but once I look up those feelings was replacing into fear. 'Oh my god, are those crocodiles.' I thought as a huge crocodile bigger than a bus took a snap at Vivi. The hells just happen.
"Run, Vivi, Run!" I said, screaming my head off. Then as if God finally said 'I think they had enough,'. I hear a familiar voice and line from the snail phone Crocodile has.
"Welcome sir, this is the restaurant," a voice from the snail said. My heart became light. I think Sanji became my knight in shiny suit. As he talks to Crocodile, I was trying to figure out of this cage. Then the water on the floor became slight higher and it was coming into my cage. I panic big time.
'This is the end for me,' I thought. The water was up to my ears but to my friends, to their thighs. I tilt my head back so I have room to breathe but I can't hear a thing outside.
I hear muffle screaming ,yelling and movement in the water. I hope they can hurry the hell up. I am losing air. I took a deep breath as the water went past my head. I let my body relax to make sure I didn't waste any oxygen.
The building in my lungs was getting heavier and heavier. Then my mouth is getting hot as if it was on fire. I slowly let some air out. I could feel my heartbeat in my veins. 'Please hurry, Vivi!' I thought. I try to jiggle the lock in desperate to get out. My vision became a bit blurry. I could see silver dots dancing in my vision. They were taunting me. I close my eyes. I had no more strength to go on.
Then some miracle someone bends the bar from above and pulls me out of there. I gasp for air. I look to see Zoro is the one to get me out. He set me onto my feet but I launch myself to him. I hug and cry a bit.
"Thanks Zoro. For a s-second, I thought I was going to die!" I said. He grunts a bit and blushes a bit. He awkwardly hugs me back. I let go to join the others. Luffy is going on a rampage beating the crocodiles with Zoro and Sanji. Ussop is consulting with Vivi. I guess she feels insignificant since she couldn't defeat even on croc. Nami saw me and smiles.
"Angelina!" she said. I thought she is going to hug me but I feel only pain. She hit me on the head three times.
"Ouch," I said, holding onto my head. I frown.
"What was that for?" I ask her. I think I see her twitch a bit.
"That is for making us worry! We thought something bad happen to you! Do you know that I couldn't sleep properly!" she screams at me. I slowly start to grin.
"Aww, Nami, you do care," I said. Nami just mutter something under her breath. Then there was a huge crack sound follow by three others. Everyone went stiff including the marine guy from before as well. I didn't even know he was here.
"The walls are cracking!" Luffy said worrying.
"That's because you were fighting to wildly, you idiot," Nami said, venting some steam. I took some steps away from her. Nami is scary when she is angry.
"The tunnel is collapsing. We have to escape!" Ussop said, panicking. Then I look to see rocks coming at me as well as water. I did my best to dodge them. Unfortunately, Ussop could not.
"Ussop!" I said, before taking a deep breath.
"Jeez, these devil abilities are a pain to deal with," Sanji said, getting out of the water. Sanji drags Luffy onto the cobblestone pavement. Next to come up are Vivi, Ussop, and Nami. Vivi drags Ussop by the nose.
"Get up, Ussop," she said. Nami growls a bit.
"Why can't you wake up already?" Nami said, slapping him. Angelina came up and grabs the ledge. She is dragging Smoker with the help of Zoro.
"And I thought Luffy was heavy," she said, pulling herself up onto the pavement. She drags Smoker with her so half of his body is on solid ground. Angelina gets up and sees Zoro is already up and about. She walks and wrings out her tattered brown clothes. She sighs and smiles. It felt good to be back.
"Roronoa!" Smoker yells, attacking Zoro. Zoro quickly stops it with his sword. Smoker glares at him and Angelina.
"Why did you save me?" he asks. Zoro glares back.
"I was just following captain's order," Zoro said. Smoker steps back and lowers his stick.
"Really cause I did it from the goodness of my heart," Angelina said, letting everyone know her reason. Vivi and Nami made a face.
"She is so innocent," Vivi said. Nami agrees. Smoker looks down casting a shadow over his eyes.
"Then you don't mind if I go back to my professional duties," Smoker said. Zoro and Sanji walk in front of the group. Angelina went behind them ready to fight.
"Look what we get trying to save a marine," Sanji said, exhaling smoke. Then Ussop and Luffy woke up.
"Full speed to Alubarna!" Ussop screaming.
"Where's Crocodile?" Luffy yells. Angelina jump by the volume of voice. Angelina thinks that Crocodile probably knew that Luffy is coming. Then Luffy turns around to see Smoker.
"Whoa. Smoker! You wanna fight!" Luffy said. Ussop's jaw drops.
"Let's get out of here, Luffy" Ussop suggested. Everyone is just waiting for Smoker to move. Angelina tense up as Smoker sighs.
"Go," Smoker simply said. Angelina blinks. Did a marine just told of wanted pirates to go?
"Only this one time would I let you get away. The next time we meet, you are a dead man, remember that, Strawhat," Smoker continues. Angelina gently smiles. He is not bad of a marine. The group decides to not waste time and off they went to Alubarna to stop the war.
Currently, everyone, except Luffy, who decided to fight Crocodile. We're on our way to Vivi's capital, Alubarna. Nami orders Chopper to check me up.
"Nami, I'm okay. I just have a few bruises," I said, not wanting to take off my top. I didn't want them to see them.
"Angelina," Nami said, growling at me. I sigh.
"Fine, but I want Zoro, Sanji, the camel, and Usopp not to see me," I said, arguing with her. She nods and they turn around, leaving Vivi, Nami and Chopper seeing my bruises and cuts. I took off my top leaving my tank top on. Chopper, Nami, and Vivi gasps.
"I told you. It's nothing," I whisper, whimpering when Chopper apply some rubbing alcohol. I drop my head. I feel so ashamed. I'm cover in sweat and dry blood. Under the dry blood, I'm cover in black and blue. Crocodile hit me on the torso and arms.
"Oh, Angelina, what happen?" Vivi ask, in horror. I chuckle nervously.
"Let's just say, I anger Crocodile and he has very quick temper. So he hit and cut me a lot," I whisper to her. I look at the guys, who aren't looking. I didn't want them to see my bruises. Nami made sure of it. I lift my hands so Chopper can bandage me properly.
"You should be more careful. Now let me look at your black eye," Chopper said. I lean forward and he starts to poke a bit. I wince a bit. Then he goes into his bag and took out some medical lotion. It smells like aloe and mints. I let him cover my eye with that lotion and he puts a white eye patch so it heals faster.
"There it should heal faster," Chopper said. I light touch it. I put back my top back and the guts turns around. They didn't look happy to see me bandage up. Then it hit me. I glare at them and lift up my hand. I made my hand look somewhat of a hook hand.
"Arrg, I'm a pirate…..With an eye patch," I said, in my best stereotypical pirate voice. They slightly had a smirk but it disappears when they see the river.
"I guess we're halfway there," Nami said, blankly. I look at the distance and know that I will need to fight stronger people. 'Hey, if I survive Crocodile's torture, how can it get worse than that,' I thought.
