Chapter 06

Found Out

Perona moved through the shadows as fast she could. She had dispersed her little ghost spies not too long ago, spreading them across the island to keep an eye on where exactly each Marine and Pirate was. She had a bad feeling and could even see marines racing towards the flower field.

Perona suddenly stopped and watched through the eyes of the ghost she had sent towards the Straw hats. Monkey D. Luffy was running the wrong way! Towards the castle! The little ghost looked back and forth trying to decide which to follow, Luffy or his crew. Perona was starting to get a headache. She quickly split the little ghost in two so that each only had one eye and were slightly smaller than the others. Both split up chasing after their targets.

Perona watched carefully as Luffy raced through the island's destroyed town. Marines tried their best to capture him, but they were no match as they were thrown off to the side.

Getting to the castle in little to no time Luffy finished the Marines stationed there and jumped up grabbing onto the window that he heard his name from. Finally he found her! The princess of Dressrosa and daughter the gladiator Kyros, Rebecca. Perona couldn't hear what he was yelling but she could only assume he was saying something inspiring and encouraging enough for her to agree and jump onto the Captain's back!

She could see the navy soldiers running towards the castle, some even went inside! They crowded around the wall waiting for Luffy to jump down. Not expecting him to jump over! Luffy ran with the princess on his back jumping from rooftop to rooftop! Marines shot at him, who was quick to dodge with the consideration of making sure the girl was safe. All the while Rebecca screamed.

The Special Sniper unit was next to try but as they got ready to fire all of them had collapsed!

Soldiers brought out a cannon, shooting a sea stoned net, catching him! Perona had finally made it to them, meeting up with her little spy hollow as more and more soldiers started to run around the corner to help their fellow marines catch the 500 million beri pirate. All were stopped though! Dropping to their knees, depression hung in the air. Negative Hollows flew above them smiling their goofy smiles. Perona smirked as she watched marines exclaim how worthless they were and how the world would be better off if they were amoebas.

Rebecca was able to get the Luffy untangled from the net and they were off again. Perona could see marines chase after him weapons at ready. She huffed as she followed, trying her best to stay in the shadows with the little spirit on her tail. Luffy dropped Rebecca off in a secluded area, she ran towards the small cabin in the field and Luffy left to divert the soldiers' attention and meet up with the rest of his crew.

With a flick of her wrist the small one eyed ghost followed the princess to make sure she made it to where she needs to go. Perona continues with Luffy making sure to take care of the soldiers that came to capture him from behind while he dealt with the one in front.

Perona realized as she was putting men into depression, that she was actually helping the Straw hat! She sighed in irritation as she thought 'I had better get some kind of appraisal for this!'

She however did not notice the still conscious marine that had a Cameko with him. He snapped a quick picture of her back facing him and her head turned to the side with a small pout.

-Straw Hat Crew and Allies-

The Straw Hat crew and Law had ended up following their allies towards the East port. Perona could only watch through the eyes of her ghost as Admiral Fujitora attacked! Law had disappeared from her view. As she and Luffy closed in on the group, her little one eyed ghost noticed Law leaning against a broken wall talking to Inspector General Sengoku and his gorilla companion. Perona had the little hallow get closer so she could see what was happening.

Perona was skilled in lip reading since her little spies only allowed her to see what was happening. She focused on their lips all the while trying to stay in the shadows and keep up with Luffy, which was quite difficult. She also realized they had been talking about a soldier who had died long ago. She could tell by just looking at their faces that this person was important to the both of them. She also read White Lead Disease off of the old man's lips while Law had agreed!

'What's White Lead Disease?' Perona thought, but quickly snapped out of it as Luffy was starting to disappear from her sight.

As she chased after Luffy, she saw that Law had started to talk about the D. She too wondered what the D. had stood for in the name of Monkey D. Luffy, unfortunately for her it looked as though Sengoku wasn't going to talk about it. As she followed Luffy the island shook and the destroyed parts of the buildings starting to collect in the air! Perona was losing her cover!

Perona's little ghost followed Law and saw it was Admiral Fujitora's doing! And now Luffy had decided to fight the Navy Admiral! Perona could only watch from a far for if she got any closer she felt she would only get in the way, this was not her fight.

Since Rebecca had been able to reunite with her father, Perona quickly told the little ghost to reunite with its other half. She watched the fight between Fujitora and Luffy and her little ghost kept an eye on Luffy's crew.

Law watched this little one eyed ghost from the corner of his eye, he had noticed that it had been following them since they had left the small cabin. It had yet to do anything so he left it alone for now but then saw another one eyed ghost reach them. The two ghost made contact and hugged each other tightly, becoming one slightly bigger ghost with two eyes! Yeah, he'd definitely have to keep an eye on this one.

Zoro too had realized the presence of the little ghost but ignored it since he already knew what this thing could and could not do.

A large explosion of rock came from the Straw Hat captain's battle! Blasting the Captain toward his group! The giant, Hajrudin, now ally, caught Luffy in his hand retreating towards the port, Luffy fighting him all the way.

Perona watched the group run onto the long dock running passed many ships. She then focused on Fujitora as he started to connect the many pieces of building above them, moving it out over the dock and planning to sink the many ships not allowing the pirates to get away.

Perona glared at the man taking steps towards the man, she had to do something! But the huge mass exploded out, ready to fall! Perona froze! If she attacked now all of the rubble would fall anyway. She clenched her fists. 'What should I do?!'

But then she heard a stampede! The citizens of Dressrosa were all running towards the dock! The crowd was enough for her to hide in as she looked to the admiral studying what he would do next.

These people were smart. They had ran towards the dock in order to protect the pirates, pretending to hate them because then Fujitora could not use his attack without injuring or even killing the innocent. Perona smirked as she watched the rest of Dressrosa run past Fujitora. Noticing his guard was down Perona flipped her umbrella over so the top faced the dirt. She gripped it much like you would if you were getting ready to unsheathe a sword. She grasped it tightly and jerked getting ready to attack when she froze. Perona noticed the man with his back facing her twitch. He knew she was there.

"Hmm. . . I'd like to suggest you don't do what you're about to do." He said in an even voice. Perona felt her eyes widen in realization. He would have finished her off if she had taken a single step closer to him.

"Horohorohorohoro!" Her shrill laughter filled the air. "I see, so I don't even match up to you." Admitting her loss, which was rare for her, she turned and started her walk back towards Mihawk, retreating, knowing that she would not be the one to defeat the Marine.

-Other Side of the Island-

Once almost all of her hallows were collected and back in her body Perona had made it to Mihawk, he was reading a book with his transponder snail sleeping next to him. Looking up over his book he watched Perona climb into the small boat. "How did it go?" He asked this question knowing full well that the young woman did not have an easy day. Perona filled him in on everything that had happened and shoved herself to the floor in frustration.

"I barely even moved and he already knew I was there! How annoying!" Perona pouted as Mihawk sighed.

"Let set sail, we should head back." Mihawk said pushing off and setting sail for the castle they called home on Kuraigana Island.

It was quite easy for them to head out for all the marines who were still able to move were still trying to undo the thread that sewed their ships together.

-Saboady Marineford-

The News article in Rear Admiral Hina's hands had been a part of the new newspaper that had been sent out earlier that day. Her eyes focused on the picture and the wording under it, wishing that they had a better picture.

It had been the childish drawing they had of the mysterious woman and under it said. 'Wanted: woman as describe in photo. If you see or hear anyone with this description please contact your local Navy Headquarters or closest Soldier.'

It was simple but it had gotten the word out, she just hoped someone would turn this lady in!

-Luffy-

Luffy and his group had made it safely onto The Yontamaria, Orlumbus Fleet's main ship. All who had helped Luffy decided they wanted to exchange cups of sake as father and sons! But of course he said no!

Luffy's reason was that he needed space. That he only wanted to be the King of the Pirates! That he didn't want to become someone important! Which confused all but his crew, even Law was puzzled.

Luffy explained to them that if he thought that he and his crew were in danger he would shout for them, and they should go save them. That when they were in trouble call on the Straw Hats and they would go help them no matter what!

But they were instantly attacked, interrupting the nice moment. Admiral Fujitora took care of the ships that attacked them though, and the allies decided to drink the sake, becoming Luffy's followers anyway claiming that they can do whatever they wanted.

With Rubble falling around them, they had a banquet and set sail! Celebrating a job well done and were having good fun, well that was until they noticed the sound of humming. . .

They all turned towards the sound to find the cutest little ghost!

"W-What is that?" Bartolomeo asked having stopped crying from Luffy inspirational speech. Luffy got pretty excited!

"Hey! Ghost! I want it!" Luffy jumped towards it; having a net he had gotten from who knows where. The little ghost flew as Luffy chased after it. Everyone else, except for Zoro, had their guard up. "Is that . . .?" Usopp left his question hanging as he looked to the rest of his fellow crewmates in fear. Seeing the fear in Usopp, Luffy's new followers got into the fighting stance, ready for their next battle.

Knowing where this was headed, Zoro stood. "Oi! Perona!"

This had gotten the little ghost's attention, as well as everyone else's, causing it to pause and having Luffy run right through it. Zoro made a 'come here' motion with his head and the hallow flew straight to him, stopping right in front of him. He smirked "Thanks."

Now everyone was confused but Law looked as though he figured it out. The hallow began to sway as if embarrassed.

"Give me your frequency." Zoro told, not asked, as he made the motion for someone to get him a transponder snail. The little thing began to draw in the air for Zoro and for some reason he understood. Zoro dialed up the numbers and waited for it to connect.

As soon as it connected he heard the laugh he had gotten used to for two years. "Horohorohorohoro!" The snail laughed and everyone payed close attention. "That's the first time you've thanked me! It's nice to know you appreciate a cute girl like me."

It was silent for a moment. "Why is your spy still here?" Zoro questioned as everyone else sweatdropped 'he ignored her. . .' they all thought at the same time.

It was quiet on the other end. "It doesn't concer-" Perona was interrupted by a deep husky voice. "She was worried." Zoro's eyes widen. "So you couldn't beat Fujitora huh." Mihawk's voice told the others that this had been meant as a statement, not a question.

Zoro's face had suddenly become pinker. "Shut it Mihawk!" "Mihawk!" the Strawhats allies yelled shocked that Zoro was talking to one of the Warlords!

The snail began to chuckle when Perona's voice broke through. "Hey! We're going home don't be stupid!" Zoro was about to yell back at her when she had spoken over him. "Trafalgar!" Gain the Surgeon of Death's attention. "If I find out you're the reason Zoro gets killed, you're gonna have to deal with me! Got it!" She yelled at him and Law thought it best to answer. "Yea, Yea. I got ya."

-Mihawk and Perona-

(Kachack)

Perona had just finish hanging up the transponder snail. Mihawk had his arms crossed and eyes closed as he spoke up. "You sounded a little rushed to get off the line, you might worry them." She stood with her hands on her hips and scowl on her face. "Yeah well, we have company." Mihawk then opened his eyes to see a fleet of Navy ships surrounding the front of his mini ship!

"Indeed, we do."
