Chapter 7
Luffy was so glad he had gotten in between them. Nami would be safe and bullets didn't work on him, or at least that was what he had thought since they had never worked before. He stood there dumbfounded as he heard Usopp's gun go off and the guy in the pile of bodies stopped moving, he could only stand there as he stared long and hard at the very edge of the bottom left corner of his abdomen. He put his hand over where he had been hit to see a small hole that was beginning to ooze blood. He looked at his hand in disbelief; he saw the blood and continued to stand there completely still, just staring at his hand. Zoro came over to see why he was so still, since because it was a bullet he knew that Luffy wouldn't be affected and wanted to know what was wrong. He turned to look at Luffy, "Hey what's wrong?"
Luffy looked at Zoro with nothing but surprise and pain completely littering his face, "It hurts."
Zoro saw the blood on Luffy's hand, then looked at his side which was bleeding so bad that some of the blood was already dripping down from his pant leg. Zoro caught Luffy as his legs suddenly buckled from the shock of being shot and the bullet actually working. Luffy winched in pain as he noticed that it was hurting more and more the longer the bullet stayed in him and the blood wasn't stopping at all. Zoro turned to Chopper, "Chopper it hit him! Do something he's bleeding, it's not in a really bad spot but the blood won't stop."
Chopper ran over to where Luffy and Zoro were and looked at the place where the bullet had entered, he looked up at Zoro, "He shouldn't be bleeding this bad the bullet didn't hit any organs or anything there's something more to this. Hold him down I'm going to dig the bullet out."
Zoro looked at him with a confused look on his face as he asked his small friend a question "Shouldn't you stop the bleeding first."
Chopper shook his head, "No, I've read millions of medical books and this wouldn't usually bleed this bad in a place like this, something's different not to mention bullets don't work on Luffy so I think there's something weird with the bullet."
Zoro nodded as he tried to hold Luffy down, but god was Luffy strong. He fought in pain as Chopper went to remove the bullet, Chopper looked over at Usopp and Sanji and of coarse they knew what he wanted instantly and ran over and attempted to help hold their smaller friend down. He fought with them as Chopper used tongs to remove the bullet and the second the bullet was out Luffy's struggling stopped and the pain was gone. Now he just laid there, completely still on his back, and looked at them while his breathing began to steady itself, "It hurt so bad, chopper can I see it."
Chopper nodded as he handed Luffy the bullet. The second it touched Luffy's hand it zapped his strength and he almost fell over as Chopper quickly took the bullet from him. Luffy looked at it again, "Holy crap it's made out of sea prism stone."
They all looked at him "What?"
Luffy looked at them, "All I know is it was used on Ace to keep control of him when we were in the laboratory. They didn't use it on me thought since I didn't fight them except for the one time when I killed them all, that stuff zaps our power."
Chopper looked at him, "So it's our best guess to say that they were the ones who attacked us earlier."
Luffy nodded as he was moved by Zoro so that he was sitting in his boyfriends lap as he leaned back, totally letting Zoro be his support, he was completely exhausted after losing so much blood. Chopper looked at Luffy, "If I had some blood that was your type I would give you a blood transfusion. I mean you lost quite a bit so it wouldn't hurt you."
Luffy just smiled, "Its fine, one thing I am is an amazing healer, and my healing is stronger now than normal since I'm still partially turned in to a succubus right now.. See."
Luffy pulled up his shirt to see that the hole was already closing up and the blood coming out had completely stopped. Chopper looked at it him in amazement, "That's amazing! So your demon form has special powers?"
Luffy smiled as his color was beginning to come back, "Yeah, Being half changed like I am now would give me healing power, my tail. If I want my wings I could have them out, and If I really tried I could probably control someone's mind, but it's so hard to do when I'm half changed and last time I used it on Ace he bit the crap out of me afterwards since he lost control of his powers because of it and ended up burning everything in the room we were in."
Chopper looked at Luffy, "Are your healing powers limited to yourself or can you heal others?"
Luffy looked at Chopper, "I know I can heal others when I'm fully changed but I've never tried to when only half changed."
Zoro pulled his sword out and slightly me a small cut on his arm, "Here give it a try."
Luffy took Zoro's arm and raised where it was cut up to his mouth and began to lick it, Zoro was surprised at the sudden mouth to arm contact and flinched slightly. Luffy pulled away after a few more seconds and the cut was gone from his lovers arm "I guess I can when I'm only half changed too, cool."
Zoro looked at him, "But If you've got to lick the cut that's not a very useful ability."
Luffy smiled and saw a cut on Sanji's arm and he licked his finger and put it on that way and it also healed, "I don't have to lick small wounds as long as my saliva makes contact it should heal just a little slower, but If it's a big wound, or a life threatening wound, I have to lick it. Did that once when me and Ace were little and I was fully changed. I had to lick a large, really deep cut that was on his chest and it took 20 minutes to heal. I learned then that blood doesn't taste half bad."
Usopp looked at him, "What are you a vampire."
Luffy laughed, "No I'm just a demon that's made to rule over men! They are two totally different things, really the only thing that makes me different from humans is my saliva and my blood. I can do lots of things with just a kiss."
Luffy made a kissing motion with his lips and then laughed. Zoro looked at him and then laughed at the thought of Luffy being able to control all the men he wants. Then Zoro thought of something, "Why didn't you ever protect yourself when attacked?"
Luffy looked at him and frowned, "I forgot about being a succubus after something happened, but before that I did use my powers to protect myself as well as I could. But if they didn't kiss me first then they would do other stuff if someone didn't help me, and if they did kiss me, I had them do some really weird stuff! Do remember that guy who got sent to prison for always running around town naked? That was my handy work."
Everyone laughed at that, and then they talked for a very short time. After that the others all began to get the vehicle ready and Zoro and Luffy sat down for a little bit longer. Luffy looked at him, "I'm going to be dizzy for a while. The wound may be closed but the blood takes a lot longer to come back."
Zoro looked at him confused, "Then why did you tell Chopper you were okay?"
Luffy simply said, "Just didn't want him to worry, but it will take awhile longer for my lost blood to return. If I were healing someone else, their blood would return at the same time as the healing, but my blood takes longer to return."
Zoro looked at him, "Why?"
Luffy shrugged, "I don't know, maybe it's because my bloods a mix because my succubus blood has to combine and take control of the other blood that's in my body, but honestly that's just me guessing. I really have no idea."
When they were all done they came over to where Luffy and Zoro were sitting and sat down with them. Sanji had gotten them all something to eat and so they were just finishing up before leaving. When they were finished, they just set the dishes down and headed out.
It was a long drive, this time Sanji was driving with Nami and Robin in the front seat and Zoro and Luffy were laying on the floor in the very back on a blanket. Luffy fell asleep after he had spent some time crying about losing Garp. They were family, and will always be family, so he was sad about losing him. Zoro had also fallen asleep beside Luffy because, well, that wasn't really anything new. Zoro could fall asleep anywhere and usually would. It was just this last few days that he had actually been staying awake for most of the time. Suddenly Sanji hit a really large pot hole and the vehicle flew in the air before landing again. They were all fine, it was just Luffy was now awake, though a little confused and scared about what had happened. But, of course, Zoro slept through it pretty easily; it looked like all of his not napping had put him out completely.
It was about 5am when they arrived at the mansion and everything looked horrible, the gate was destroyed, the trees had huge gaping holes covering them, the driveway had holes in it from what looked like bullets, and there was a car in the wall of the house. They all stared at the scene in awe as Luffy ran out of the vehicle as fast as he could in to the house. When he got inside there was blood everywhere, it just covered the walls. He stopped dead in his place as his arms automatically wrapped around himself. Then he felt another pair of arms wrap around him, and he freaked out at first until he noticed Zoro had woken from his hours of slumber and was now with him. He whispered in Luffy's ear, "Calm down, breath don't freak out we don't know what happened yet."
Luffy stuttered, "o… o… o… k."
Zoro looked around as the others came in with looks of horror on their faces and he whispered to himself, "They will be of absolutely no help." Then looked forward again, "Everyone be as careful as you can. We don't know if the people who did this are still here, and we need to go find Ace."
They all slowly walked forward, with Luffy walking right beside Zoro, gripping the elder's hand as tight as possible. He didn't know what he was going to see in the next ten minutes, but something had told him that it wasn't going to be a good thing. As they turned the next corner the scenery completely changed, the blood was gone except for some foot prints on the ground below the wall and a long smear on said wall; it looked like someone was walking while using the wall as a support. They continued to walk and looked in the rooms that were along the way until then they came to a locked room with a blood covered door knob. Zoro unsheathed his sword and simply cut the door where the lock was and it squeaked open.
As the door opened, what Luffy never in his life wanted to see sat in wait. He broke in to tears and collapsed on to his knees as he looked at the cut up, blood covered person lying dead on the floor. This wasn't just sad crying, this was a horrible gut wrenching 'I've lost everything' cry. He looked at the dead body and screamed, "Ace… … … … … … ."
I am very sorry, I didn't want to kill Ace but I had to It was the only path In my head that I could see would work with the rest of the story, once again sorry, so sorry.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review.
