Luffy blinks up at the large ship belonging to the pirates attacking the town, he made him laugh than fill him with any dread because of the odd elephant figurehead and the circus tent that he could see pitched on the main deck.

As promised the papers regarding Captain Buggy had come and he sent a long time reading through only because he was ordered to get there as soon as, he sailed in a heavy stormy patch that kept him at bay for a while; in the night he had no choice but to sail into the night like asked, to catch up on time.

Luffy glances over at the broken homes and shops that ran along the wooden decks at the seafront of the town. He quickly ties his small ship to the nearest pole and jumps up onto the deck, most everything he could see was destroy, it something passed through and blow up at the other end because only at few points were fires flickering.

'Why couldn't we move sooner?' Luffy asks himself as he hurries further into the town, jumping over bits and pieces of wood that blocked his path. 'Why did they wait so long to give the order?'

Luffy came to a clearly, an area where it had been untouched. He gazes over the nicely well build homes with long and wide roads, it was a beautiful town one that anyone would be proud to call home.

Luffy silently follows the road, heading toward a tall building right in the centre of town and the only place that was unharmed by the blasts and fires, meaning this was where it came from. As he neared he could hear laughter, shouting, cheering and other noises coming from the top and inside the building.

Walking into the main entrance he found no one in the large lobby, the distance sounds of some partying was coming from a room to his right. Luffy turns his attention to that, there was another sound that was coming from there, one he did not like.

"There should be no townies here!" Luffy hisses to himself as he now ran to the room, the woman's screams echoing around the walls. Luffy kicks the door in making it go flying to the other side of the room, and hurries inside. What he finds stops his heart.

There in the middle of eight men was a naked young woman with tear strains old and new running round her cheek, her body was covered in bruises and blood. She still had fight in her still she was glaring hard at the ones who there trying to make grabs at her.

None had seen the marine captain enter, they might have mistaking the crashing noise for one of their own, Luffy did not know nor did not care they not seeing him gave a good chance to knock them flying.

Luffy ran at them jumping into the air and raising his fist, he strike out at the first one he came across sending him flying right into three others. Now they seen him as he was landing, as soon as his feet touched the floor he was up again, just time with his legs back behind him and swinging it around for a full house kick.

Luffy took off his captain's jacket and bending down he wraps it around the orange haired woman's shoulders. She tighten it to herself crying inside, mumbling words of thanks.


Straightening himself he glares darkly at the men in front of him, as long as they were conscience he was going to hurt them greatly.

A/N: Question for readers: Should I up the rating for this, because of the characters death and other dark elements?
