QUESTION! Do you want me to include an OC in this story? Well, the OC will not play that of a major role but do you, my dear readers, want one? The description will be written after this chapter.

And another thing I want to make clear I don't write…what was that? Smut? Or something along those lines. I maybe give hints but I'm not that elaborate during those parts and the mental image was too much for me when I'm the one doing the writing than reading.

Chapter 14: Rescue Mission (Part 1)

Three days passed when Trafalgar Law was taken and the atmosphere of everyone was somber. Everyone was on edge during those days. Sabo's burn wounds were taken care of but it would leave a scar on his left side of the face just above and below of his eye but the good thing was he could still see with it. Luffy was curled up beside Ace and cried all day and all night, for once his older brother let him do that for Ace too was on the brink of crying. Sanji and Zoro took care of the kids in the hospital and always stand guard in case another kidnapping attempt was made. Kidd, Killer and Mihawk tried to find a clue to where the surgeon was taken to. A simple phone call was made to Smoker to inform the man that his son was being held by Doflamingo and judging from the sound the room where Smoker was, was wreck in havoc.

"A-Ace, is it my fault again?" Luffy asked through his tears. Just like what happened to Shanks, the youngest blamed his own.

When the funeral of the redhead was made Luffy continuously blamed himself about everything, that if he didn't said to Shanks that he was cool when having adventures and came home victorious then the man would be still here.

Now that Traffy was gone also he started again on self loathing, if he didn't said anything or cried in front of his father that night then maybe he could prevent the man from worrying about them and sending them away to have some fun.

"Shhh, Luffy, it's not your fault okay? You hear me? It's not your fault." Ace repeated again and again to lift his brother's dark thoughts away. Such things must not be written on Luffy's soul.

But little Luffy didn't believe his brother's words and cried himself until sleep took him away, everything will fall apart again just like what happened in the past.

Things were getting from worse to worst.

"I hate this," Sabo said when he heard the soft snores of Luffy, "I hate this feeling," he repeated out of frustration, "We're so useless right now!" he screamed but not that loud in order not to wake his little brother.

Ace stared at Sabo for a moment. It was rare for the two of them to switch in moods. It was the times where Sabo really, really felt extreme uselessness in his part while Ace was trying not to let the strings to fall apart completely around them. Not that the freckled boy could blame his brother after all the blond was the most damaged among them.

Having no words of wisdom to share Ace simply sighed as he hugged his little brother closed to him leaving the blond in having tears of frustrations.

How long had this scenes been repeating? The scene where they were always left alone?

"You really hate me do you?"

Ace remembered the words he heard from Trafalgar Law the first time they met.

"Don't worry, I'm already used to it."

The freckled boy heard the talking's of the adults once when he went out of the room to get some fresh air. That their father was once treated as a toy by the pink feathery pedophile of a man and Ace knew what they meant by that. He used to live in the streets ever since he could remember and he knew very well what they meant by 'toy'.

Always forced to do things you don't want to do.

He witnessed enough and heard enough of screams and whimpers every time he passed by a dark alley. He saw enough of the cruelties a human was capable of.

"Sometimes I wonder why I'm even alive."

Ace was now slowly understanding what Law meant by then. He was thinking that he should not live because for some reason people that get near to him always ended up hurt. He thought back then that when Law said those words they have the same reason but now he realized that they were different. The doctor was running and running away from a scary nightmare that will keep chasing him until he turned insane.

"You think you are the number one who is whishing that he should not been alive in this earth? Well, guess what, you are not."

Maybe part of Law wished that he was long ago dead… No, deep down he really wanted to be gone from the face of the earth.

"Everyone deserves to live. If you think that everything around you gets destroyed then that is because you are weak. Become stronger than you are now, prove to the world that it is wrong for belittling your capacity. Prove to them that Shanks is not wrong for raising you and your brothers."

But why encouraged Ace to live if Law himself wanted to be dead?

"Life is a gift not a curse. Live with no regrets. You should do something worthwhile to it."

Ace opened his eyes, he didn't notice that he had fallen asleep, and stared at the ceiling. Those words… Trafalgar Law said those words….

Trafalgar Law wanted to live…

He bit his lower lip enough to draw blood. What can he do? How can he save his father? He did not know where the enemy was right now.

But then he heard the voice of Makino just outside the door where Sanji and Zoro, along with another two people, were and said something that made his heart beat faster.

They got information where their father was.

"Sabo, Sabo!" Ace called out. The blond was a light sleeper, an ingrained habit since Sabo had two narcoleptic brothers, and so getting him up was just an easy task.

"What?" was the snappish reply because Sabo was still in a bad mood.

"Get up, they found where Dad is," Ace replied not minding the glare because it was now slowly morphing into understanding.

"What about Luffy?"

At this Ace gave him a dumbfounded look.

"You think he would allow us to leave him alone?"

The past three days really dampen Makino's mood. Even after Mihawk told her that it was not her fault she could not help herself but to believe the opposite. She should have not listened to that okama. She should have asked more about the place or maybe contact Mihawk if such a place does exist.

Now a family was in ruins because of her mistake.

They would be lucky if Trafalgar Law was still the same when they managed to save him or so what she heard from the talking.

Smoker was burning all his frustrations by firing on poor dummies at the gun testing area. If that will not satisfy the man then he would go outside and arrest some criminals who dared to come across him while he was in a very bad mood.

Everyone was easily angered ever since the day the kids were kidnapped and their father was taken.

With no place in mind to go, Makino decided to visit Shanks' grave. She knew this was not the time to be doing it but…what else could she do? She could not help in investigation and she was still classified as civilian. She could not protect the kids and as much as it was the bitter truth she was just a burden to this case.

She passed on a floral shop to buy some flowers. Along to the bouquet she asked the florist to include a red hibiscus, for some reason she did not know, Ace always gave that particular flower to Shanks when the man was still alive. Once she asked why and the man only answered her as;

"Hmm? Ace said that the flower reminds him of something but he did not know what so he simply said that maybe it reminded him of my hair!"

Reaching the headstone that was carefully taken care of judging that the name could be clearly read and no vines or weeds obstructing it from view, Shanks was really love by almost everyone.

Why was this happening to these people? They don't deserve it.

Shanks died when all he did was lived his life to the fullest and bring smile to everyone.

The kids were abandoned at such a young age while they were just innocent angels which were scarred by the cruelties of life.

And now… Trafalgar Law was taken by one of the most psychotic underground warlords while the doctor was just doing the best he could to keep the children smiling and happy.

How twisted were the fairies of fate?

Setting the flowers down she offered a silent prayer for a minute before opening her eyes again and stared at the headstone. Without any warnings she started crying her heart out.

"S-Shanks-san… I…I…" she has many things to say,

I'm sorry…

It's my entire fault…

The kids were in danger now because of me…

One of your friends was now in the clutches of a terrible man…

They were all having a heavy atmosphere because of my mistake…

I'm sorry…

But all of this didn't escape her mouth but just repeated inside her mind. Why should she burden a soul who was already in peace? She was really pathetic. She very well knew that.

"Help me…" she murmured between sobs.

After saying those words a gust of wind invaded her vision and the next thing she knew was that one of the hibiscuses was taken by it. She didn't know what prompt her to follow it but she did it out of impulse maybe.

Running to catch the flower she stopped in a park just near the cemetery where she heard the familiar shrill voice of a certain okama.

"Un, deux,"

"Ora!"

"Un, deux,"

"Kura!"

"Look at your fingertips with your nose~ un, deux~"

"Kura!"

There at the middle of the park not usually visited because of its sad atmosphere and the fact that it was near the cemetery (why would they place that there in the first place?) was Bon Clay along with some weird men like him. It also looked like they were having a ballet session…

"Kick out to the side~ un, deux~"

"Ora!"

"From before… we are born…" Bon Clay sang, "Lesson! Lesson! Eyes~ and mascara~ talk about~ mascara~ practice it every day~ The~re~fore! Lesson! Lesson! Okama Way!"

"Okay, smile everyone!" Bon Clay said to the men behind him,

"Ah, strongest!"

"Strongest!"

"Strongest!" the men one by one said.

"Oh come my way~" Bon Clay ended their…

For the lack of words, idiotic actions…

It took Makino some time to comprehend the incredulous scene before her thinking if she had already seen all the weird stuff in New World City before realizing that this was the man who tricked her.

Most people would do was to get revenge when they saw the person behind all the schemes or maybe call the police to arrest them but none of that entered Makino's mind. All she thought was that this okama might know where Trafalgar-san was currently being held.

"Bon-chan!" she called out and it gained the attention she wants and she did not want. That was because Bon Clay did looked at her direction and at the same time the men behind the okama glared at her. Makino knew that Bon Clay was a criminal and possibly she was in a grave situation right now but…this was the time she could do something.

"Makino-chan!" Bon stared at the woman in shock. Why would she be in here? Surely by now she knew that he was someone she should not meddle with, "What are you doing in here?!"

Mustering every drop of courage she had in her body she approached the okama not bothering to the men that was preparing to attack her in a moment's notice. When she was directly in front of Bon Clay she took hold of his clothes and fisted it as she stared at him with tear stained eyes.

"Bon-chan! Please, please I'm begging you; tell me where you took Trafalgar-san!" she asked as her voice quivered a little due to nervousness and the tears that was threatening to drop on her cheeks again, "Please tell me!"

Still in shock Bon Clay had a hard time in processing the question when he did he looked at Makino like the woman was insane, "Are you kidding me! If I do that, then Zero-chan will kill me!" he declared like telling his papa will cut his head off if he found out that he was gay. The difference was Bon was an orphan so no papa could kill him for being an okama. But similar scene similar reaction.

"Please Bon-chan!" Makino continued to plead.

"Are you having a death wish?!" Bon Clay asked as he put his hands on Makino's shoulders, "Even if I did tell you where they had taken that Trafalgar person you would be killed instantly! Zero-chan and Doffy-chan has so many men around everywhere! Why are you risking your life?!"

"Because he is my friend! And the previous father of the kids also was my friend! I promised to him that I would protect them!" Makino answered immediately that sent Bon Clay in another shocking moment. So much shock that the okama's mouth was left open, "But now I just did the opposite, so please help me, I want to help my friend!" she declared as now tears did fall down again on her cheeks.

Bon Clay was silent for a long time that Makino feared if the okama was planning to kill her right there and tossed her body somewhere where it could not be found. To her surprised Bon took hold of her hands and stared at her eye to eye that she could see that the okama finally made up his mind and no one could change it.

"I understand," Bon Clay finally said.

"But, Bon Clay-sama!" the men behind the okama started to protest but before they could say anything further them was silenced by their leader.

"Listen, everyone!" with that Bon Clay gained the attention of his men, "Could you eat your breakfast tomorrow morning like nothing happened when you knew that someone was risking their own life just to save a friend!" his words were carried to the crowd and the men were left speechless at the wisdom their leader said to them, "That's not an Okama Way! It's not the way of Bon Clay! Us Okama greatly treasures the bonds of friendship!"

"Bon Clay-sama!" the men started to cheer.

"Makino dear~" Bon returned his gaze at the woman in front of him, "I will tell you where they had taken this person and I would help you to go there."

"But…No, it's enough for you just to tell me!" Makino knew that Bon Clay would be in danger more if he would accompany the rescue group.

"Makino-chan," Bon's serious tone made her to shut up, "What are friends for?"

At that moment she realized that Bon Clay was not really bad just doing what he wanted but not a bad person, for his treasures friendship more than anything.

"Thanks…" Makino said in relief.

"Everything will be alright…"

Makino heard a voice just beside her ear and when she looked to her side she saw the red hibiscus falling down beside her. Picking it up she could not help but to wonder if Shanks was being some sort of a guardian angel to them.

"Makino-chan," she brought out of her musings when Bon Clay called her again, "Listen carefully, according to what I heard Doffy-chan brought the guy you were looking for in Dressrosa. We will accompany you but be warned that Doffy-chan is the king of that country."

The meaning sink in Makino's mind, things were getting much more complicated as time passes.

"Let me tell it to others,"

"Huh? Who?"

"Mihawk-san and Smoker-san."

"Eh! You know the Hawkeye and White Chase!" Bon Clay was surprised. Those two were one of the greatest agents of the government. Now that he think about it isn't Smoker was the adopted father of Trafalgar and Mihawk was Akagami's partner before Doflamingo ordered someone to kill the redhead?

Oh… this simple kidnapping incident might turn in a much more serious case.

Hell, it might lead a war between the underground world and the government!

"Alright, alright, just be sure that they will not shoot or slice me when we meet again," Bon Clay conceded.

"Thank you very much!" Makino expressed her gratitude by hugging the okama before running away to meet the others one place she knew where they were was in the hospital.

It took a thirty minute run for her to reach the hospital and just like what she expected just outside the kids' room where Zoro, Sanji, Mihawk, Smoker and the two other people she had no chance in knowing the name even when she met them in the welcome party. Not bothering for them to acknowledge her presence she grabbed Mihawk's hands.

"I know where they had taken him!" she exclaimed that surprised everyone because it was like she pop out of thin air, "They took him in Dressrosa!"

Today is the fourth day…

The day that the Surgeon of Death woke up…

Will their mission bear sweet fruits or sour defeat?

"Geez, what is so difficult in my question?" Surgeon of Death said in an annoyed tone as he stepped on one of the bloody corpses in the hallway.

Just an hour ago he walked aimlessly around the castle trying to find a bathroom but this stupid people deemed him as a trespasser and attacked him out of nowhere. They were real idiots if they didn't know that he was here. Didn't Doffy tell them that they have a new visitor?

"I just want to find a bathroom," he glared menacingly at the only man who survived his attacks and that man was now quivering in a corner, "Was that a difficult question to be answered?" he tilted his head a little to the side and gave one of his creepy smile to the man that anyone would think they were about to be killed by a psycho.

Well… it was not too far away from truth since Surgeon of Death is a real psycho killer.

He moved so fast the man didn't saw him at all and the next thing the victim knew was that his airway was blocked because someone was choking him.

"I don't think you need your eyes and tongue anymore since you can't answer me," Surgeon of Death grinned. The fact that his face was covered in blood was enough to scare the bravest of soul.

With a bloodied hand he carved out the man's eyes and tossed it on the floor all the while his victim was screaming in pain and that was just encouraged Surgeon of Death to continue his tasked. Then with the knife he stole in one of his attackers he cut of the tongue. In too much glee Surgeon of Death stuck the knife into the man's throat and push it down until it reach his collar bone and a stream of blood flow down.

All the while Surgeon of Death was laughing like a mad man.

But then he stared at his bloodied hands then down his body. He was covered in blood all over from top to toe. Just then he remembered why he was roaming around in the first place.

"Now where is the bathroom again?" he asked to no one as he stood up and started walking again.

When he was far away from the hallway full of corpses he encountered a woman dressed in a maid outfit and carrying a tray you usually see carried by waitresses. Their eyes met and he was not surprised that this woman deemed him also as an enemy but first things first.

"Excuse me," Surgeon of Death placed a polite smile on his bloodied face, "I need some help in finding the bathroom. Can you show me the way?"

From suspicious face the woman's face changed into a flustered one like someone just confessed his love in front of her.

"Y-You need me?" the woman asked.

"Yes, can you help me in finding the bathroom?"

"O-of course!" the woman answered immediately as she led the way.

"What's your name?" Surgeon of Death asked as he followed her.

"My name is Baby 5," she said as she played with her thumbs while walking.

"Nice to meet you, Baby 5,"

I can't wait to kill such a cute girl like you.

A/N: Okay…. I'm going to take the opportunity to update since this is just the first week of school and life is still not busy. Don't know about next week though.
