Asha swiftly moved in for the attack but was slammed to the floor by blackbeards fist before she made contact with the man. Her head was spinning as it made contact with the ground with a loud thud.

Looking up at the sky her eyes refusing to focus as her she clung to her blade.

"Is that all you've got?" Black beard sneered as he looked down on the red haired girl. Bringing his foot up he stamped on her leg. He continued to stamp on her legs moving his way to her torso as he continued stomping as Asha screamed in pain as her head continued spinning refusing to let her move from her current position on the floor.

"Ell, Stop!" Serenade yelled as her crew member began to lung forward

Stopping in her tracks not looking back she replied "How can you stand there!"

"You think this is easy for me! That's my little girl! Ell, she's not done yet we have to let her do this."

"Get up Red!" Zoro grunted as he gripped his blade.

"Asha!" Luffy yelled before running forward only being stopped by Asha's mother forcing him to the ground.

"She is not done yet!" She stated as she let Luffy go before standing up calmly.

Asha spat out the blood that was pooling in her mouth, her legs hardly responding as she begged them to move. Hearing the voices around her she clocked on to Luffy's voice as she saw him running over only to be stopped by her mother forcing him to the ground. Asha knew she had to move it wouldn't be long before Black beard finishes her off and moves on to the others around her.

Watching as the shadow above her moved and began venturing towards the people she cared about.

Reaching out with her battered arm, she could barley move it but managed to muster all the strength she had to grab Blackbeards ankle stopping him from moving forward.

"Still alive brat?" Black beard sneered as he looked down on the girl once again lifting his leg.

Asha tightened her grip on her blade as she swiftly rolled out of the way of the mans reach as she got to her feet unsteadily as she swayed trying to steady herself.

The two exchanged blows as they continued their fight. Asha knew she couldn't continue like this for much longer, she was running on pure adrenaline and the need to protect Luffy and her new friends. She needed to protect them even if it cost her, her life.

Panting as she hunched over, her eyes blurring and her limbs shaking she knew she had to finish the fight, she had to.

Not managing to dodge his attack fully, his hand going through her side as she plunged her sword into his chest. The sword went through his heart before he realised what had happened his body began to sway. Asha's eyes began to go black as she started to fall back wards her hand falling off the blade. Blackbeard's body began to fall forward, before anyone could move Luffy stretched his arm just in time to stop Asha getting crushed by the older man's body.

"Asha! Wake up!" Luffy screamed as tears ran down his face "Please!"

"Lea!" Serenade stated as she sat by her daughters side.

"On it Captain!" Lea stated quickly as she picked up her bag and rushed to her captain side to help save her daughter.

"She's a doctor let her see to her!" Serenade stated trying to stay calm whilst tears ran down her face. Luffy reluctantly nodded as he loosened his grip on the small women.

"I'm a doctor!" Chopper chirped as he joined Lea as they both began examine and trying to stop the bleeding.

"We need to get her to the ship we need to operate!" Lea stated as Chopper changed form in order to carry her quickly to the ship.

"Captain you'll have to wait here." Lea stated quietly as she rested her hand gently on her shoulder before removing it and nodding at her captain.

Serenade sat by the door to the operating room waiting for news on her daughter. Luffy sat the other side of the door waiting for news on his red haired love.
