Chapter Three: Selene/Akainu Pairing
AN: There are going to be somewhat of a spoiler in this chapter for future chapters of 'Chaos of the Sea'. Disclaimer: I own nothing. I wished that I did, but sadly, I don't.
Sakazuki Akainu was a young Vice Admiral of the Marines and was proud of it. Sure, many did not like him as he had an obsession with absolute justice. But there was a perfect reason for that obsession. When he was young, he was exploring the forest for the day. When he came back, marines were everywhere as they trying to see if there were any survivors in the village. Later he found out that pirates slaughter everyone and destroyed the village for some fun, nothing else. His mother, his father, his two younger sisters, and his older brother were all dead. The pirates who did this were simply bored and wanted something to do, so they destroyed his village. That day was the day that Akainu began his training to be a marine.
A few years after his family's death, he got his revenge by killing the ones who took away his family. Apparently, they had a devil fruit on their ship. The devil fruit was given to him by the Fleet Admiral, saying that he earned it. After several days of thinking, he decided to eat it. It turned out to be a Logia type and he had the power of magma. As time went on, he was promoted to Vice Admiral and he became one of the most feared marines in the seas.
(Scene Break)
Akainu was on his way to the office of the Fleet Admiral, when the war hero Monkey D. Garp stopped him. Garp had a picture in his hands of two teenagers, a boy and a girl, which was now in his face.
Akainu sighed and asked, "What is with the picture, Vice Admiral Garp?"
Garp's smile became even bigger, as he replied, "They're my two grandchildren. This is my grandson, Luffy D. Monkey and this is my granddaughter, Selene D. Potter. I am so proud of them; I just wait until they become marines."
As Garp continued to talk about them, Akainu focus was on Selene D. Potter. She looked to be only fourteen years old, but she is already very beautiful to look at. He wondered what she is like and what her personality might be. He also wondered if she had a boyfriend. When he had that thought, something bubbled up into chest something like anger and jealousy. He did not know why he was feeling those things. Anyway he did not have time to have those types of feelings.
As he went on with his day, he could not stop thinking of one Selene D. Potter. He had the feeling that they would be crossing paths in the future. She would make a great marine, he knew it.
(Scene Break)
Three years went passed, since Akainu first saw Selene's picture and since he found out more about her. It was easy, since Garp would tell anyone who would listen to him talk about his grandchildren. Apparently, Selene is a very good fighter and has a good head on her shoulders. She even had eaten a devil fruit but Garp did not what type. She was smart for her age and also kept her brother, Luffy, out of trouble as often as possible.
"AHHHHH!" The wailing was heard and Akainu wondered what had just happened to cause Garp to wail like that.
Finally, when Akainu entered the office of the Fleet Admiral, he saw Garp holding two wanted posters. He asked, "What happened?"
Before anyone could answer, two wanted posters were shoved in his face. He easily recognized who they were. The grandson and the granddaughter of the war hero, Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp. He could not believe it that Selene D. Potter would live a life of a criminal by her own choice. It seems that the one girl who caught his interest was nothing but a good for nothing pirate. When the time comes, he would be the one to put her to death for her crimes.
"It's a shame that two young people choose a life of crime. They would have made great marines, but in the end, they will die for their crimes," Akainu said as he walked out of the office and went back to his own. He missed the glare that Garp sent him.
(Scene Break)
Akainu was about to make Portgaz D. Ace pay for his crimes against the World Government when an injured Selene appeared in between them. Akainu punched a fist made out of magma through her abdomen when a bright white light engulfed them and they disappeared from the battle and reappeared in a giant stone hall like room. Akainu pulled his magma fist out of her.
"SELENE!" Ace and Garp both cried out as Selene fell face down on the ground.
Ace turned Selene over and found her breathing and the hole in her abdomen was closing with magma. Once Selene sat up, Ace was making sure that she was alright. They noticed a woman and a man walking slowly towards them. Akainu saw how her face darken when she saw the two people, so he took a closer look at them and saw similarities between them and Selene.
They were about ten feet away from them when Garp stood in their way. Garp asked, "Who are you?"
The red headed woman stood proud and answered, "I'm Lily Potter and this is my husband, James Potter and we are Selene's parents."
Akainu was surprised when he heard that, he could not help but asked Selene, "I thought you did not have parents, Potter D. Selene. Why did you lie about that?"
Selene looked at him with a haunted look in her eyes as she replied, "They were, but they gave me away to a family that would abuse me. They knew that I would be abused, but they did not care. I was not good enough for them in their eyes. The only one who cared was the Headmaster. They were supposed to be good people. Mr. Potter was working for the government arresting the bad guys and Mrs. Potter was supposed to be the perfect house wife with their perfect son who saved us all from the Dark Lord. They were the perfect family, since I did not do anything amazing, I became the black sheep of the family. Here, I thought that the good guys were supposed to protect the defenseless, but I was wrong. And I still got scars from the abuse that I was put through."
When James opened his mouth, Garp punched him in the face, sending him flying across the room and into the wall. Akainu gave Garp a questioning look.
Garp shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hey, he deserved it and a lot more. They are the main reason that my granddaughter is a pirate."
"Go, jiji," Ace and Selene said at the same time.
"So I take it that you raised my granddaughter? Oh, where are my manners, I'm Albus Dumbledore," Albus introduced himself to Garp. They shook hands.
"GRANDPA!" Selene shouted as she hugged the old man. Akainu suddenly felt like an outsider as the reunion started.
Albus turned to Akainu and the air around them dropped about twenty degrees as Albus said in a cold tone, "Young man, I may not know about the situation that has been going on, but if I ever, I mean ever, find you hurting my granddaughter or her family, I will make sure that you will cease to existed. Understand?"
"Yes sir," Akainu replied. This Albus person scared him more than Garp's training method. He decided that it would be wise to not push his luck.
(Scene Break)
It has been several weeks; since they all came to this world and Akainu learned more about Selene then he ever did hope. Akainu always has been secretly proud of Selene as she traveled the Grand Line. He always kept an ear out for information about her. She really did turn out to be a real lady, if only she would wear a shirt instead of just suspenders.
Right now, he was in the library reading a book on potions when Selene around the corner, looking panic. She saw that he was there, she was about to turn around, but they both heard a woman's voice calling for Selene. Akainu then understood that she was hiding from her so called mother, so he stood up, grabbed Selene and pushed her underneath the table.
"Oh, its you. Have you seen my daughter around?" Lily asked him.
"No, I haven't, Mrs. Potter. Even if I had I wouldn't tell you anything. Now leave!" Akainu was annoyed with this woman and her husband as they were trying to turn Selene into something that she was not. An innocent little girl who was their daughter. Even Akainu and everyone else could see that it was a waste of time.
When Lily left the library, Selene came out from underneath the table, she was now confused. She thought Akainu hated pirates and would not help anyone like them. But she was shocked when he pushed her underneath the table and lied to Lily Potter about her location.
"Why did you help me, Admiral Akainu?" Selene asked with a frown on her face.
Inwardly, he winced at the formal name, but he still answered, "It did not seem right to let that woman try and turn you into something that you are not. Even I'm not that cruel."
Selene then got up and said, "Thanks for helping me, Admiral."
With that, she left the library and turned invisible in case her so called parents were near by. She did not want them to learn that she could turn invisible. Okay, she forgot about that she had that ability when she was being cause by that crazy. She made her way to the dungeons, where Professor Snape was. She knew that only Mrs. Potter would look for her down there, but the others would not. She was thinking why would Akainu help hide her from the crazy lady. Sure that he was handsome…wait, she could not believe that she just thought that. Okay, she could not help, but feel attracted to him.
These passed weeks, Akainu has been nothing, but nice to her and her brother. And also she had noticed that Garp and Albus had a twinkle in their eyes each time that she would sit next to Akainu. If she did not know any better, she would have said that the two old geezers are trying to set them up. But even Grandpa Garp would not be that stupid. Hell, she did not even know if Akainu liked her back that way. If he did asked her out on a date, she would give him the chance to prove to her that he was not using her for some sort of twisted sick plot to kill them both. She would deal with Ace and then Luffy when they return back to their world.
(Scene Break)
It was Valentines' Day, and romance was in the air. And Ace has been even more annoying than usual; he has taken up following Selene around and threatening the male students if they should get any ideas about asking her. Akainu was patient; finally Ace fell asleep in his food. It was long over due. He just hoped that everything would go okay.
Akainu caught up to Selene, he pulled her to the side and asked, "Selene, will you go out on a date with me this evening?"
Akainu was nervous that she would say no. He would not blame her, she was a pirate and he was a marine. Pirates and marines do not mix at all. But he did hope for at least a chance.
"Yes, I will go out with you. What time do you want me to be ready?" Selene asked with a blush on her face.
Akainu thought that the blush made her even more beautiful, he replied, "I will meet you at the entrance of the Great Hall at seven."
"Okay, I will see you then." With that Selene made her way to wherever her feet were taking her. Once she was sure that Akainu would not see her, she did a little victory dance.
"What got you dancing for, Selene?" A voice asked behind her. "Did Akainu finally asked you out for a date?"
Selene spun around and saw it was Luna, one of her new friends that she made here at Hogwarts. Selene answered, "Yes, he did. I am so very happy. But what do I wear, I have nothing!"
Selene began panicking as she thought about tonight. Luna slapped her to calm her down, Luna then said, "You can borrow something of mine."
(Scene Break)
Selene was standing in front of the entrance of the Great Hall. She was wearing a strapless sky blue dress that went down to her knees. She never thought that she would be wearing a dress ever.
"You look beautiful, Selene," Akainu said when he reached her. For a pirate, she was breath taking when she cleans up and wears a dress.
Suddenly, a flash of light temporary blinded them. Once they got the black spots to disappear, they saw Garp standing there and he was holding a camera and also he had the biggest smile on his face and behind him was Albus and Professor Snape and they looked happy.
"Go, have fun, but don't you dare come back pregnant," Garp said as he pushed them toward the Three Broomsticks.
"JIJI!" Selene scolded him, but that did not work as he was not listening to them. She never has been that embarrassed by her grandfather like that before.
Akainu had booked a private room at the Three Broomsticks for them that evening. It was so very beautiful; Selene did not know what to say about it. The date itself was so very wonderful and Akainu was the prefect gentleman. They got to know each better; they talked, dance, and ate.
When Akainu dropped her off by the entrance of her room, Selene grabbed him and kissed him on the lips. It soon turned into a make out session. The only bad part was when Ace came around the corner to check on his younger sister, only to see her and Akainu snogging like there was no tomorrow. He screamed like a little girl and fainted. That caused both Akainu and Selene to start laughing.
(Scene Break)
Today is the day that the Dark Lord will be truly defeated. Akainu was nervous; he could tell that he was not the only one who was. What if one of them dies? He could not stand that thought. This last year was one of the happiest that he ever lived. Sure, Ace has taken to setting him on fire for dating Selene, but that stopped when Selene caught him in the act and gave him a beaten that he would not forget. Garp was just happy that one of his grandkids was doing what he wanted.
Suddenly, a thought came to him. Walking over to where Selene was, he dropped down on one knee, held out a ring that he bought a while back, and asked, "Selene, I loved you for a long time, will you marry me, now, right here?"
Selene looked like she was about to faint, but instead she grabbed him and kissed him and replied, "Yes, I will marry you now."
"Headmaster, if you have time, I would like you to marry us right now, please," Akainu asked Albus excitedly.
"Of course, I will. Even war can wait for young love," Albus said as he began the wedding.
Garp looked over at his other grandchild and asked, "I thought you were going to throw a hissy fit over this?"
Ace looked at his grandfather and replied, "You know what Selene would have done to me if I did. Besides, they truly love each and at least, he is making a honest woman out of her. That's all that I ask for. I am just worried about Luffy's reaction to the news that Selene is married to a marine, but Akainu is going to let her still be a pirate."
(Scene Break)
"NANI! You married an admiral! I bet you are going to leave me now to become a marine's wife like gramps wanted," Luffy cried out. Sanji was out cold on the floor when he heard the news.
Selene hugged her brother and said, "Akainu is not going to stop me from being a pirate and besides he is okay with me being a pirate. And he promised to not hurt anyone on this crew and in my family."
Poor Luffy could not take it anymore as he too fainted in shock.
AN: I know its seems to be rushed, but I hope that you all like it. Please review and tell me what you think of it. Have a nice day, everyone.
