Chapter 11 - Dragon

There are things that cannot be stopped. Inherited will. A man's dream. And the flow of time.

As long as man continues to seek the answer to freedom. These things will and shall never be stopped.

"A pirate? Hmmm… That's fine too." A cloaked figure said as he walked towards the plaza while others ran the opposite way.

The place was almost deserted save from a few who are brave enough to watch the spectacle that is currently happening in that town.

She sure is lively. And judging from her antics, she reminded him so much of his wife. They both have the same smile and joyful reaction when faced with something way out of their league.

'She really got your spirit… I'm sure you'll be proud when you see her now…' Dragon thought nostalgically. He hid in the next possible place where he knew his daughter would take her route to escape her pursuers.

He also knew that his daughter ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi courtesy of that red haired brat. And despite the fondness she felt for that pirate, Dragon remembers the bitter taste in his mouth thinking of the said Yonko.

He laughed out loud when a bolt of lightning hits the execution stand. He knew all the strengths the said rubber fruit has especially when he learned that his daughter ate it. Despite its weaknesses, Dragon knew that Luffy did not even think about it the least so why should he bother worrying. But just in case, he made necessary preparations once he had the chance to tell his daughter everything.

Two of the strongest members of her crew came to save her and despite the thought that came into his mind for the clown who attempted to kill her, Dragon is positive that his daughter will prevail.

Luck seems to follow her whenever she goes.

As a certain marine captured his precious daughter and held her in a very undesirable position, the head of the revolutionary army have this urge to release one particular member of his staff to torture the said man and feed his entrails to the wild beasts of Baltigo.

Dragon growled to himself when the hunter decided to use his weapon to incapacitate his daughter. Perhaps it is time to make his presence known.

With a firm grip toward the marine's arm, Dragon smiled sinisterly when he saw the brat's reaction. It was priceless.

And his daughter, well… she tried to turn her head to look at her savior but then, the hand holding her down was far too much to his liking.

Letting her go without introducing himself may have been for the best. Well, truth is he still doesn't know what to tell her. How her bastard of a father abandoned her when she was still a baby and then entrusting her to his no good of a father thinking that she will be safer in his care?

Truly unacceptable.

He still has a grudge to hold for towards his father when he learned that he left Luffy on her own in that island. But then, if it wasn't for Garp's meddling, his daughter will not met the people who shaped her to become the person that she is today. So perhaps, he and his father are even. For now.

Then again, when the right time comes, he'll make sure to explain everything.

Looking at her ship as her pirate crew sails towards the Grand Line, Monkey D. Dragon prayed for her daughter's continued success.

Who knows, Luffy will get the chance to meet her in one of her journey. And IF they saw each other after so many years, it is going to be catastrophic.

He just knew it.
