I don't like you! by BloodyMarryMe
Fanfiction site is making me mad! I published chapter 15 yesterday but it never came up so here it is again. :/ It's long and hopefully interesting. :) Not much to say, you'll see/read it all.
At first I wasn't sure if I would publish chp. 15 last night anyways, since I was dead tired and I needed to proofread it before releasing it. (Plus my net was dying every 5 seconds so I could hardly open the page -.-') But I decided to publish just one more before going to bed after all..but in the end it didn't even get published. (Well the notification said it did and I could see it on my stories page but not on the actual site in the story. o.O)
No matter, no matter, it's up now (hopefully, we'll see soon enough :P)
Also, to respond to Yueres De Leo's last comment: aaactually I had something like that in mind but it'll be much later I think. :P If she did it now, I think Law would throw her overboard. XD
So just for you guys! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or any of its characters but I do own the OC Suzune Miyako.
CHAPTER 15
When they came to the base they were greeted with dozen marines making a line on each side of the path, saluting Commander Soul. The base was actually quite small and didn't have a lot of marines in it, much like Soul told Law. Law was glad the information was correct. At the end of the pathway and in front of the bases' gates was an old-looking man with white beard and hair and piercing light blue eyes. He wore a commander's uniform like Soul and was smirking pleased with the situation. Next to him was another marine, probably his assistant. When Soul came to the man they nodded at each other and the assistant saluted.
"Commander Soul, sir! Welcome back!" The assistant shouted and Soul only nodded at him.
"Commander Akiko." Soul greeted the other man who gave him a huge grin in response.
"I'm glad the mission was successful Soul-san. Perhaps we will get that promotion now." Akiko said, still grinning and now looking at the seemingly helpless Law. "So he was the rookie who caused all that trouble, eh? Doesn't look like much." He turned to Law as he gloated. "How does it feel to be tricked and defeated by such a small and meaningless base, Trafalgar Law?"
Law just glared at him but didn't answer. He focused all his attention on the pleasantry exchange between two commanders in case Soul tries to warn Akiko.
"Hahaha. Well I hope you'll enjoy your stay here!" Akiko laughed in a loud voice and then turned to his assistant. "Go contact Marineford and tell them we captured "The Surgeon of Death"- Trafalgar Law."
Soul led the pirates inside while Akiko disappeared somewhere. However the pirates noticed more marines from the base came by their side, leading them away, which meant they'd have to take care of them first since they were armed. Law didn't seem worried at all as he kept his head down, hiding his expression. As he walked through the corridors Law smirked devilishly. "Oh I will" he whispered, referring to Akiko's statement to him.
~…~
Miyako was tense and on guard looking at Law and waiting for the signal he said he'd give them. Suddenly Law made a whistle and in a second all of his crew were up and ready, knocking the marines down. Law uncuffed his hands with the key and used the chain of the cuffs to wrap it around the neck of the closest marine and snap it with a sharp move of his hands. Miyako took her katana from the marine holding it and then threw the nodachi towards Law, who caught it effortlessly. She hit one marine in the ribs with her still sheathed sword and then blocked another's attack, stopping the sword with her hilt. She pushed it aside and quickly drew her katana, slicing the man across the stomach in the process.
It didn't take long until all of the marines were beaten and on the ground. The pirates took their ropes from the floor and tied the unconscious marines just in case.
The commander glared at them, the only one left standing. Law had special plans for him.
"You're going with us just in case something goes wrong." The pirate captain smirked as they quickly walked down the halls and towards the safe.
Finally they found the big doors to the safe and Law grinned pleased at the situation. However Miyako had a bad feeling about all this. They didn't encounter any marines on the way, which seemed rather suspicious. The rest of the crew didn't seem to notice it since they were too busy already celebrating their sure win.
She wanted to speak to Law but he seemed busy as he opened the large doors and went inside a dark room. Without turning the lights on, Law motioned for Penguin and Shachi to scout the room.
"It's clear, Captain!" Shachi called.
The rest of the crew went in and Law motioned for Soul to open the large safe which was at the end of the room. The commander hesitated but with a cold look from Law he went ahead and was soon working on the code to open the safe.
Everyone were quiet and tense as the lock made a soft clicking sound and the large safe gates started to open. And then Miyako's eyes widened. Jewels, gold, money and much more, stored into bags, some of it pouring on the ground. The crew cheered loudly and Law smirked satisfied with the founding. Commander Soul gritted his teeth.
However their happy mood didn't last for long. Suddenly the lights in the vast room lit on and Miyako had to shield her eyes for a second because of the brightness. The crew turned around quickly and they saw at least 50 marines armed to the tooth at the entrance. In the front was commander Akiko with a big grin on his face.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here," he said smugly.
*Dammit! I knew something was wrong. It was too suspicious that no marines were anywhere to be found as we walked towards here.* Miyako thought and put a hand on her sword, ready to attack or defend at any moment.
"A trap." Law simply said. "I knew something was off when there were no marines around," he stated.
*So he did notice after all. Yet he still proceeded to the vault. Isn't he worried at all,* Miyako thought in annoyance.
"So how did you know?" Law asked. He gave Soul a sideway glace but the commander looked as surprised as his crew which meant he wasn't in on it.
"I knew something was wrong. It seemed off when Soul didn't follow the protocol and decided to wait daybreak before coming here, yet asked for no backup. Perhaps if it were some nobody weak pirates we're talking about I would understand, but with a supernova to act so carelessly and without haste, it wasn't like Soul-san. And when coming here, everybody looked too gloomy for someone who had such a good catch in their hands. Something was definitively wrong. And lookie here, I was right!" He said with a smug grin.
The marines took aim and prepared their guns to fire at Law's crew at any moment.
"Akiko-san, wait! They have more pirates in the village who are ordered to kill everyone when given the order. You can't possibly act fast enough-" Soul started but was cut off by Akiko.
"So what? Casualties in battle are expected, you can't change that. There will always be sacrifices. " The other commander said, not fazed at all by Soul's comment. "Besides, if it takes me off this wretched little island I've been stuck on for too long, I'm willing to take the risk of a few casualties!" He added.
Soul's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. "Akiko, you.."
Law only smirked at the power-greedy commander. "Ah here it is, the symbol of Justice and Good in the whole World, the Marines…sacrificing innocent lives for their own purposes."
Akiko just scoffed at him. "Don't think I wasn't prepared. I sent a small group of marines to investigate the village as well. I'm sure they're fighting and capturing the rest of your crew as we speak." He grinned.
Law still kept his calm as he stepped forwards, earning a sound of guns being aimed at him. "However, it seemed you weren't prepared enough." He said, rising his hand a little.
Akiko had a confused look at first but then noticed a thin blue film around the room. "The sphere...," was all he said but before he could even warn his troops and order them to shoot, Law swung his nodachi and body parts started flying around the room.
"When?" Was all Akiko had time to say before his head fell off, though he was still alive even after that.
"From the beginning." Law simply said and moved his hands. "Shambles." He started playing with the body parts. By now, his crew was taking care of any leftover marines who didn't get cut by Law's nodachi. "You weren't the only one who was prepared…I felt something was odd and knew something like this could happen. You shouldn't have underestimated the Heart Pirates."
Miyako just looked at the body parts shifting and reattaching on places they shouldn't be. No matter how many times she sees it, it still fascinated her. *What a weird power.* She felt a bit sympathetic towards the marines though, as she remembered the strange feeling it gave her when law did this to her. However she felt glad to see Akiko suffering after his dishonorable actions and statements. She wanted to punch the man in the face through his whole gloating speech.
Suddenly a cry of anger was heard behind Law and before he had a chance to turn around or do anything, Soul swung a large axe at him.
"Tch," was all Law had time to say as he saw the axe move down towards him. He needed to break off his technique to move and he had time to do absolutely nothing at the moment.
Then just as suddenly, Miyako appeared between the large man and Law, and blocked the big axe with her sword. Her knees buckled slightly and moved under the pressure of the strong swing, but she held her posture, blocking the blow. The blue sphere disappeared and Law moved to see what exactly was going on. The body parts and marines fell to the ground still in shock and yelling as they tried to reattach themselves, all in vain.
"Miyako." He softly said, a bit surprised he was saved by the person he always had trouble getting along with.
"Heh. And to think I could've been rid of you once and for all…I have no idea what's wrong with me." She turned her head so he could see her face as she smirked at him. That smirk where he could never figure out if she was serious or just joking around.
Soul shifted his weight and moved his axe, swinging from the side. Miyako quickly jumped in the air and moved her body in a vertical position as she started falling down quickly. She turned her katana so it would make a stabbing motion. Soul growled and swung upwards to hit her, but she shifted her body and dodged his swing by an inch then stabbed at his shoulder. Soul moved quicker than she expected for such a large man and was able to dodge some of her blow, making the wound deep but not as fatal as it could be. She still ripped some of his shoulder and the blood gushed out, staining his white uniform. He moved to the side some more and swung again at Miyako with his axe, but she was able to block the blow. However not having any ground for support this time, the blow pushed her away and sent her flying. She fell on the floor, her katana falling near her with a metallic sound which echoed throughout the room. She only had a moment to turn and grab her katana and then roll to the side as Soul jumped to her and swung the axe, destroying the ground where she had been lying just seconds ago.
Miyako quickly got up and dodged a few more swings, avoiding blocking his big axe. She knew neither her katana nor her body would last long if she blocked all of those strong blows. However she had an advantage when it came to speed and she was a small target compared to him so it was hard to hit her.
*Still, I can't keep dodging forever,* Miyako though while completely focused on the fight. She didn't even notice the rest of the crew that was now watching her fight with interest. At first they tried to help her but Law stopped them. He wanted to see the girl in action. So all they could do is watch with worried faces.
"Don't worry; captain wouldn't let her get killed," Cody said with a serious expression, but he wasn't so sure about it himself. He knew Miyako and the captain had a strange relationship of trying to get on each other's nerves and biting at each other with their snarky comments, but he didn't know how far Law would take it now. He couldn't tell if those two hated each other or just loved playing the same mind games.
*I need to find a way to counter,* Miyako though, dodging a few more swings of the man's axe.
Soul gritted his teeth in a growl. He seemed out of breath from all the attacking. "Do you intend to dodge forever? Fight dammit!"
Miyako gripped her katana tighter. She ignored the man's taunts and thought of a plan instead. *Yeah, I won't run away, instead I'll…* Miyako's eyes became cold and focused only on the man as she ran towards him. She was even faster than before. The man swung but she moved to one side, the axe only grazing her cheek slightly. She had broken through his posture and defenses and was now right in front of him and his axe already passed. She was too quick for him to have time and swing his axe again. She was right under his nose and then she jumped upwards. She rested the palm of her other hand on the back of her sword to give the motion more force. Her sword collided with the man, under his chin as Miyako jumped with all her force. The sharp edge started going in. Soul tried to act quickly and jumped backwards but Miyako wouldn't let him escape her deadly sword. She turned the katana and slashed at him. He was too close to the sword to dodge in time and the sharp edge went through Soul's throat. The man fell down limp. Blood flowed from his sliced throat and open mouth. His mouth opened and closed a few more times, the eyes wide in shock as he stared at the ceiling above him. Then his eyes became unfocused and he stopped all moving.
Miyako landed not far away from man and sheathed her sword. "I hate killing," she mumbled, more to herself.
The crew and Law stared at the scene for a while longer then Law turned from the sight and back to his crew. "Alright men, we're through here! Grab all the gold and money you can and let's head out. I'm bored of this place."
The crew cheered and started grabbing the bags from the safe. While the marines tried their best to move but couldn't in their current state.
"You will pay for this Trafalgar Law! You have my word!" Akiko yelled red in the face. Law looked at the severed head still on the floor. He walked up to Akiko (or at least his head) and took it in his hand by the hair. Akiko made a small yelp at the pain but did his best to glare at the pirate.
Law didn't look impressed at all. He had the same smug smirk as always, maybe even bigger than usual. "And how do you intend to make me pay Mister Commander?"
Akiko growled. "This is not the end of me!"
Law's smug smirk was replaced by an evil one. He lifted Akiko's head so they could look eye to eye. And right now, Law's eyes had a sadistic evil gleam in them. His storm grey eyes pierced coldly at Akiko's blue ones. "Oh, I beg to differ." He simply said, but in such a voice that made Akiko gulp.
"Captain!" Law's eyes darted behind him at the voice calling behind him. He turned around to see Miyako looking at him.
"We should hurry. They probably already called Marineford to report they have captured us. "There's a good chance a marine admiral is coming this way since you're a Supernova after all."
Law kept silent for a while, irritated he was interrupted during his "fun time" with Akiko and it was clearly written on his darkening face. "I don't like to be ordered around Miss Miyako."
"It wasn't an order, it was a suggestion." Miyako pointed out, crossing her arms but holding his gaze with her own and withstanding his dark stare.
Law stayed silent for a while longer before he called back at his crew. "Alright men, wrap it up! We're leaving!" He threw Akiko's head on the ground and forgot about the screaming marine commander as he sheathed his nodachi.
"Aye, aye, captain!" The crew yelled, carrying as much as they could.
"Miyako, are you alright!" Cody ran up to her with a worried expression. She gave him a reassuring smile. "Of course. I only got one cut." She pointed at the small cut on her cheek.
Josh slowly walked behind Cody with his hands in his pockets. Unlike the other medical assistant, he didn't seem worried at all. "That wasn't half-bad, but you wasted too much time. I could've defeated him in half that time." He said simply.
Miyako rolled her eyes. "Then why didn't you, Shrimpy?" she asked with a challenging smirk.
"Stop calling me that, Ugly! And just because captain wanted to see you fight!"
Miyako blinked a bit in surprise and confusion. She was so focused on her opponent she didn't even notice Law was watching her fight carefully. So when Josh explained everything, she was surprised.
"In any case you should carry a bag too, Ugly. Don't be a lazy-ass!"
Miyako blushed a bit because of the comment and said angrily. "I'm NOT a lazy-ass, and I will!" She took the closest bag from the safe and got a surprise when she realized it was much heavier than she had thought.
Josh smirked at her slightly widened eyes. "Problem?" He took two bags, each in one hand and put both on his shoulders. He may have been short but he was surprisingly strong.
"No," Miyako quickly said and put a bag on her shoulder as well. She walked away not giving Josh another glace and he rolled his eyes.
~….~
Law had contacted Jean Bart to surface up with the submarine on their way back and everybody were awaiting they triumphant return to the sub. Miyako was panting a little, since carrying a large, heavy bag on the steep and rocky mountain road wasn't something she was used to. Cody wanted to offer her a hand but he had his hands full as well, like the rest of the crew. Besides, she didn't want to be deadweight for anybody. She wanted to do her part of work properly as anyone else in the crew. She was no exception and didn't want to act like one.
As they walked she remembered something. "What about the group of marines who went to the village. Will the rest of the crew be alright?" Miyako sounded a bit worried. There was less than 10 crewmates left behind, waiting for their return.
Law just smirked, looking amused at Miyako's worried expression. "My crew isn't that weak, they can take care of themselves. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about Miss Miyako, they're fine."
Miyako nodded but still kept a slightly worried gaze as she continued on.
However, when they came back to the village she saw there was indeed nothing to worry about. First she noticed all the villagers rounded up on the little main square. The pirates were sitting and standing there as well, guarding the locals.
"What's going on?" Penguin asked, looking at the villagers confused.
"When the villagers woke up and realized they're plan didn't quite go as they hoped, they tried to attack us so we taught them a little lesson." One of the pirates explained. That's when Miyako noticed some of the village men had bruises and black eyes.
"What do you want to do with them, Captain?" Another crew member asked.
Law gave the villagers a smirk which made all of them flinch in fear. He was amused by the sight and kept silent for a while longer, just to make them more terrified. Then he suddenly said: "Leave them. We don't have time to deal with them."
The crew members nodded and then grinned as they noticed the bags in the other group's hands. They already knew what it was even without asking.
"Alright men, pack up! We're leaving!" Law ordered and the crew cheered, happy to be sailing soon again. Their happy mood was probably powered even more by the sight of all the treasures they got.
As Miyako walked, Bepo put a paw on her shoulder and patted her. "You did well today, Miyako."
The girl was a bit surprised at first but then smiled at him. "Thanks Bepo."
"Sorry," he quickly said and Miyako just laughed at the strange bear.
Another one done and published!
I was sooo tired while proofreading it so forgive me if there are any grammar mistakes. :/
Well that's it for the first island and I hope you liked the little adventure the Heart Pirates had. And Miyako finally showed some fighting skills! :D (It was a long time since I described a proper battle so I was happy to finally write a fight scene.)
Anyways, reviews are always welcome and tell me what you think. :)
See ya in the next chapter!
