"Is the woman named Hawley Irene at this house?" Asked one of the marines.

"I'm right here." Said Irene, standing up. "What do you want?"

"By order of the marines," Said the other one. "You are hereby under arrest."

"U-under arrest?" Said Walter in shock. "O-on what charge?"

"We were simply told by our captain to carry out this order." Said one of the marines. "We aren't told things like what the charges are."

"I assure you, there must be some mistake!" Protested Walter. "Ojou-sama spends all of her time in here, she couldn't have done anything..."

"Walter," Spoke Irene. "You don't have to bother arguing. If they say I'm under arrest, I'm under arrest."

"O-Ojou-sama..." Said Walter.

"Alright, you're coming with us then." Said one of the marines as they slapped some handcuffs on her and took her away. Irene however was not caring about these things, she was too busy thinking to herself.

"So you've finally come back, you bastard," She was thinking. "I always knew you'd come back to finish what you started, don't think I'm surprised by this. This time I'm going to settle the score with you, Galliano!"

"Dammit!" Yelled Ado to himself as he continued to run to Irene's house. "I'm not gonna let my ship be taken away by some stupid marines!"

"Hold on! We haven't even come to this conclusion yet!" Yelled Coco to him as she and Vega chased after him.

"This bastard, I swear one of these days he's going to be the death of us..." Muttered Vega.

Soon Irene's house could be seen in the distance. "Ah! We're almost there!" Said Ado happily as he began to run even faster towards the house before bursting the door. "Alright you marines. you better not be taking my ship..." However, he only saw Walter the butler sitting on a chair, his hand over his face as he still was in shock of what had just happened. "Huh, it's just you. Where are those marines?!" He demanded.

At this point Coco and Vega had finally caught up to Ado at the house. "DON'T GO RUNNING OFF, IDIOT!" Yelled Coco as she swiftly kicked Ado straight in the face.

"Ow....sorry..." Winced Ado as he rubbed his head. "Anyway, where are those marines?"

"They...they took Ojou-sama away..." Said Walter. "I couldn't believe it. I can't think of a thing she's done, but even so she went with, like it was going to happen!"

"Well, they didn't take away your ship." Said Vega. "So can we go now?"

"No!" Said Ado. "Without her, I can't negotiate for the ship! That must be why they took her away, because they want the ship too, so they took her to force her to give it to them!"

"...that's probably the stupidest reason I've ever heard for arresting someone..." Said Coco.

"Anyway, we've got to get to those marines!" Said Ado. "Hey butler guy, do you know where they went?" He asked Walter.

"I don't know, but there's no marine base on this island because it's so small, so there must be a ship here somewhere." Said Walter. "You should be able to find it somewhere here soon enough."

"Thanks!" Ado. "Alright everyone, let's go find this ship!" Then without waiting for an answer, he took off again.

"It's just one place after another with this guy..." Groaned Vega.

"Doesn't he ever stop to think about things?" Said Coco.

Meanwhile, on the marine ship. A man was sitting inside the captain's room of the ship. He looked to be about in his mid thirties with his brown hair that went down to his neck and a peach fuzz of a beard beginning to grow on his face. He was dressed in the standard marine uniform, except he was also wearing a large white coat, to signify his rank as marine captain.

"Hmph, soon my conscience shall be cleared..." He was saying to himself. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Come in." He said.

The door opened and two marines came in, each holding a handcuffed Irene. Despite the fact she seemed to be in a helpless situation, she wasn't struggling at all, instead she was retaining a calm and cool expression on her face.

"Captain Galliano," Spoke one of the marines. "As you've requested, we have brought the prisoner straight to you.

The man named Galliano smirked. "Good. You can leave now. I just want to have a little personal chat with our prisoner."

"Yes, sir!" Said both Marines simultaneously as they saluted, then left the room, leaving just Irene and Galliano.

"Just so you know, I saw this coming a mile away." Scowled Irene to him. "I knew you wouldn't just leave things the way they are."

Galliano's expression became rather cold. "But this time, I've made sure there are no holes in this play. I know about your devil fruit power, so I've made those handcuffs made of Kairoseki. Your power is useless right now. Plus I personally checked, that man has no other significant relatives other than you."

"You..." Said Irene angrily. "So I'm assuming with this, your promotion while rise even higher. Is that it?!" She said, her voice slightly raising. "Is that why you killed my father too?!"

"Don't get the wrong idea." Said Galliano. "If I had told anyone that I am actually his killer slip, my position would be much higher than this. But then if I alos told, then you'd likely get sent somewhere like Impel Down or some high-security prison and die there, and then I'd never be able to clear my conscience."

"Hmph, you say that..." Said Irene. "But if you're arresting me, won't I go to jail, and then do just that? Die in jail, I mean?"

Galliano grinned evilly. "I was wondering when you'd say that." Then, from under his desk, he pulled a large, double-barreled rifle. "What if I tell everyone that you lost control of your emotions and killed yourself?" He said pointing the gun to her. "You charged at me, grabbed my gun than shot yourself? Yeah, that'll work. Then I tell everyone about who you are, then tell about how I killed your father, and get a big promotion out of it as a bonus to my clear conscience! How's that?"

"Shit!" Thought Irene to herself. "I didn't think he was just going to kill me straight up front like this! This is bad!"

"It'd be hopeless to resist." Said Galliano as he positioned the gun towards his eye as he cocked the barrel. "You should just take it. I'll shoot you in the head even. It won't hurt at all."

"Dammit!" Thought Irene as she closed her eyes, waiting for the worst.

Suddenly the door burst open. "Captain Galliano!" Yelled a marine as he had slammed the door opened. Galliano qucikly fumbled and was able to hide away his gun in one swift movement. The marine didn't notice.

"W-what is it?!" Asked Galliano, startled by his entrance.

"T-there's some guy wearing sunglasses outside waving a Nodachi. I think you should come take a look at it!"

"What? That's it?" Said Galliano. "Dammit, I was this close..." He muttered under his breath. "Take me to him!" He told the marine.

"Sunglasses with Nodachi?" Thought Irene. "It can't be that guy from earlier, can it?"

"Hey, marines! Show your damn faces to me! I got something I wanna say to you!" Yelled Ado to the ship, his fist in the air as he wore and angry expression on his face.

"This is so embarrassing..." Thought Coco, burying her face in her hand, as she and Vega stood beside him.

"I once heard that after they die, the person you respect the most always watches over you," Thought Vega. "Sensei sure as hell better not be watching right now..."

"Alright, where is this guy?" Said Galliano as he ran to where the marines directed him, until was looking down directly at Ado from the ship. "What do you want, kid?"

"Are you the head of this ship?" Asked Ado. "If you are, I just wanna say you better not take my ship, or I ain't afraid to totally kick you and everyone else on board that ship's ass!"

"Huh? What ship? I have no idea what the hell you're talking about!" Said Galliano. This made Coco and Vega even more embarrassed.

"Secretly I was hoping Ado's idea actually was the case," Thought Coco. "But I guess I was just fooling myself..."

"Oh, so you're not after the ship?" Said Ado. His angry expression suddenly became normal. "Oh. Never mind then!" He then was kicked straight in the face by Coco.

"YOU IDIOT!" She yelled.

"Hmph, I wasted a bunch of time for nothing..." Scowled Galliano as he headed back to his quarters. "Now, to finish what I was doing..." Suddenly the door to his quarters burst open as Irene cam running out, freed of her handcuffs and jumped out of the ship onto the ground where Ado, Vega, and Coco where. "WHAT?!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Oh, it's you again." Said Ado, as if he was completely unsurprised about what just happened.

Irene turned towards Galliano. "Sorry Galliano, but your plan failed again. Thanks for leaving the key to the handcuffs on the desk, idiot." Said Irene.

"Grrr....damn it!" Yelled Galliano. He then turned to the marines. "Everyone! Chase after those people! I don't care about the other people, but bring the prisoner back alive!"

"YES SIR!" Said the marines as the began unloading from the ship and running after them.

"Shit...." All four said at once as they began to run away from the onslaught of marines after them.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Asked Ado. " Why are all these marines chasing us?!"

"Look, it's a long story, but in short the Captain of that ship, Galliano as after me. I thought it'd be a 1-on-1 thing but it looks like thanks to you he's got his whole command after me. So maybe you could help me out a bit here."

"But what would I get out of it?" Asked Ado, knowing the answer.

Irene cursed silently to herself. "Fine. You get the ship. On the conditions that one, you defeat these people, and two, I come with you on that ship."

"Huh? Come with us? Why is that?" Asked Vega.

"To make sure this idiot doesn't break it." Answered Irene, pointing her head towards Ado.

"...I see your point." Said Vega as they continued to run.

"But just so you know, we are pirates." Said Coco. "You'd be joining a pirate crew. You okay with that."

"You're asking that to a person being chased by a shipload of marines." Said Irene. "I really don't give a shit."

"Hmm....okay!" Said Ado without even thinking about it. He then stopped running and turned to face the marines charging towards them. "Listen up, marine bastards! You're officially messing with me and my crew now!" He said, pulling out his Nodachi. "If you don't wanna get your asses kicked, I suggest you leave now!"
