A/N: Yes, I upped the rating to M. I decided to add Shura in this story because I felt like he needed an old-fashioned ass-kicking . And manga readers of Akame Ga Kill, I'm pretty sure you know why. Am I going to include Wild Hunt? Hm.

Chapter 5: Luffy's Escape! I Got To Return to Night Raid!

AT AN UNKNOWN LOCATION IN A ROOM

A man named Shura was now getting ready for round 2 of his little "Rape Game" session. Shura just happened to be the son of Prime Minister Honest and was just as ruthless and heartless as him.

"Get on with it already", a woman grunted between panting breaths. Shura glanced at her before motioning to get something out his bag.

He pulled out a small package and the woman widened her eyes nervously.

"Y-you fucking planned for this..?"

"Hmph. Would you have rather I didn't, cause then we would've needed to cut it off here, now wouldn't we?"

"…You damn pervert."

"In the position you're in, it seems like the pot is calling the kettle black, bitch."

"Fuck you."

"Your're about to."

The woman resisted the urge to punch him in the balls and run.

Shura knew this by the look on his face and he smiled.

"Heh, heh. Don't even think of disobeying me. After all, you're the toy that I want to play with right now." Shura said with an evil grin on his face.

"Esdeath didn't want you anymore so she handed you over to me. She told me that you were quite the feisty one, and it seems she was right." Shura said cupping his chin in thought.

Shura grabbed the woman by her neck and proceeded to fuck her dry.

10 minutes later, the woman was not moving or saying anything at all.

"Oh, it seems like my toy broke." Shura said, slightly disappointed. "And you had such a nice ass, so tight."

Shura grabbed the woman by the foot and threw her off the bed violently.

"Well…" Shura said looking toward the window.

"I think it's time to make to make my return to the capital." Shura said, putting his pants on, getting ready to leave.

IN THE PALACE

Luffy walked out of Esdeath's room, yawning.

He went into the meeting hall and saw Kurome eating and Wave looking out the window.

"Hey Luffy!" Wave said, hearing Luffy's footsteps.

"Did you get a good night's sleep?" Wave asked.

Luffy stared at Wave and said nothing for a solid minute. Wave waved his hand in front of Luffy.

"Uh, Luffy?" Wave asked.

"Well, It was okay I guess, but that ice woman snuck in the sofa with me…" Luffy said remembering what he felt the other night.

"And it was very uncomfortable and annoying the way she was squeezing my body like I'm some plush doll." Luffy finished, walking toward the table where Kurome was.

"It's still early morning and you're eating candy, Kurome?" Wave asked.

"Mind your own business. It's preferable to eating your seafood." Kurome said.

"And I wouldn't want to start smelling like a beach, like you do." Kurome finished.

Wave had a look of shock on his face.

"Eh!? Seriously?! Do I really smell that bad?!" Wave shouted.

"Yep. But it's nostalgic for me." Luffy said.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Wave thought.

Luffy sat down and stared at Kurome. Kurome noticed and immediately held her bag of snacks close.

"You can't have these." Kurome said, looking at Luffy with killing intent.

"Oh please." Luffy thought, releasing his own killing intent (Not haki)at Kurome, easily overpowering hers.

Kurome shivered when she saw the look in Luffy's eye. It was a look of pure solemnity.

"She sorta reminds me of Akame for some reason." Luffy thought, still looking at Kurome.

"It's a good thing I brought my back up meat with me." Luffy thought bringing out a ridiculously large piece of chicken from his pocket, piping hot and fresh.

Kurome stared at the meat, then back at her snacks.

"Damn…" She said quietly, slightly jealous of Luffy.

Wave's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw that.

"WHERE THE HELL DID THAT THING COME FROM?!" Wave shouted, pointing at it with a shaking finger.

Luffy simply looked at him and said: "My pocket". And he continued to eat.

At that moment, Esdeath walked into the room.

"Luffy!" Esdeath said.

Luffy looked toward her direction.

"For the next few days, we'll be hunting. We'll be heading to Mt. Fake!" Esdeath said.

Luffy turned back to his meat, but he was still listening.

"Wave and Kurome will be coming as well." Esdeath said.

"Mt. Fake is the perfect place for an ambush, so keep your eyes open for enemies while hunting!" Esdeath finished.

"Roger!" Wave and Kurome said in unison.

"Until evening, we'll be hunting for treeman cells. Once we get there, Kurome and I will search the East side, while Wave and Luffy search the West side." Esdeath said.

"At dusk, we'll switch off. Luffy will be with me." Esdeath said.

"I guess I'll use this chance to get back to Night Raid." Luffy thought.

"When night falls, far stronger specimens come out, and in greater numbers. That's when I'll impress him with what I can do!" Esdeath thought.

"And Luffy, I have some questions to ask you after our hunt today." Esdeath said, looking at Luffy.

Luffy spared her a glance, then went back to eating his meat.

Kurome actually started to drool looking at the partially-eaten piece of chicken that Luffy was eating.

AT MOUNT FAKE

"I know all the dangerous species of monsters that appear on the sea… but as for mountain types, I'm completely clueless." Wave said.

"Me too. Have you ever fought a Sea King before?" Luffy asked.

"Beg your pardon?" Wave said.

"A Sea King! A giant monster fish!" Luffy said happily.

"Sorry, I never heard of it. It must be some kind of rare danger beast." Wave said.

"Oh. Nevermind then." Luffy said, slightly disappointed.

Luffy then sensed something behind Wave.

"Uh, Luffy?" Wave said, looking at Luffy.

Gomu Gomu no…

Luffy said, stretching his arm back really far.

Pistol!

Luffy's arm hit the tree, immediately destroying it.

"Attacking in a group, huh? You don't look as tasty as sea monsters." Wae said

"You're telling me." Luffy said, still hungry.

"These guy aren't really strong, but they attack in groups." Wave said.

"Then let's clean out the area and turn them into firewood!" Wave shouted, ready for a fight.

Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!

Luffy shot off like a rocket, instantly destroying the trees that were coming for him.

However, things didn't go exactly as planned, as he was launched deep into the forest.

Coincidentially, it was the one where he and Sheele had fought.

"OH CRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" Luffy yelled as he sent himself flying into a tree that was by the river.

2 minutes later, Wave was done with his side of the fight.

"Phew. It seems you're finished over there too." Wave said.

"Right, Lu-" Wave stopped.

An uncomfortable silence filled the air with tension.

"That's strange, Luffy… where did you go?" Wave said, walking around.

"Don't tell me- He ran away?!" Wave thought.

An image of a demonic Esdeath entered his head.

"This is bad! I understand your feelings, but I can't let you do that!" Wave shouted.

"I still have things I want to do before I die!" Wave panicked.

"I suppose I have no other choice: Grand Chariot!" Wave said, drawing his sword again.

IN THE FOREST

"Damn." Luffy said, rubbing his head. "Maybe I should've held back a little." He said, getting up.

"This looks like the place where Sheele and I fought." Luffy said, looking at his surroundings.

At that moment, he saw Leone by the river catching some fish.

"Hey, Leone!" Luffy shouted, running toward the river.

"Luffy?" Leone said, immediately perking up when she heard his voice calling her.

"Hey!" Luffy said, stopping at the edge of the river.

"Luffy, is that really you?" Leone said, getting out of the water, not believing her eyes.

"You think?" Luffy said, slightly annoyed.

"How did you escape from Esdeath?!" Leone said, surprised as hell.

"I can't really say I escaped…" Luffy said, scratching his head.

"More like overdoing an attack." Luffy finished.

"Well, never mind that! Let's get back to the base and show everyone that you're okay!" Leone said, eager to go back now.

"I guess." Luffy said.

IN NIGHT RAID'S BASE

Akame was pacing around, while Sheele was holding a blanket to her chest. Najenda was smoking a cigarette, silently praying for Luffy's return. Bulat and Tatsumi were outside, training to take their minds off of things. Lubbock was observing Cross-Tail.

Leone and Luffy came in like racehorses through the entrance.

"I win, Leone!" Luffy said, pumping his fist.

"That's only cause you're able to stretch like that. That's no fun." Leone pouted.

Luffy snickered.

"LUFFY?!" Akame, Sheele, and Lubbock shouted in unison.

Najenda looked surprised as well. She knew well that is was a good decision to let Luffy into Night Raid.

"To be able to get away from Esdeath in such a short amount of time…" Najenda thought.

"This boy really is special." She thought.

"But how?!" Akame said, in pure shock.

"I swear, if I get asked the same question again…" Luffy said, annoyed again.

"Well, what matters is that you're here, and in One Piece." Najenda said getting up.

"Exactly." Lubbock said.

Sheele was holding back tears of joy. There were no words to express how contented she felt.

"Luffy!" Sheele said, tackling Luffy with a bear hug.

"Ouch!" Luffy said, now stuck on the ground with Sheele on top of him.

"Will you get off me-" Luffy stopped when she saw the tears in Sheele's eyes.

"I'm a pirate, not a pillow!" Luffy thought as he was practically being crushed under Sheele's weight.

"Alright Sheele, we get it." Leone said, prying Sheele off of Luffy.

"Damn straight." Luffy said, catching his breath.

"Why is my heartbeat getting so fast every time I'm with Sheele? This is making no sense!" Luffy thought.

"S-Sorry, Luffy." Sheele said, slightly embarrassed.

"It's alright, I guess." Luffy said, getting up. "What's for lunch?"

"Grilled Kalbi over rice." Akame replied.

"SWEET!" Luffy said, pumping his fist in the air again.

Lubbock looked over at Leone.

"I wonder if anyone noticed that gleam in Akame's eye when she said that…" Lubbock whispered.

"I'm not going to lie, I'm going to feel pretty sorry for Luffy when he finds out how Akame makes her delicious meat dishes." Leone whispered back.

Najenda sighed and lit another cigarette.

"At least everything is back to normal, for now." Najenda said, closing her eyes.

THE NEXT DAY

"Um, how should I say this…" Wave started.

"I'm truly very sorry for what I've done." Wave said.

"I've deeply reflected on my actions and I apologize" Wave finished.

"Due to your carelessness, Luffy was allowed to escape." Esdeath started, in a menacing tone.

"Kurome, stone." Esdeath said.

Kurome dropped a stone on the already, suffering Wave.

"YEEEEEOOWWWWW!" Wave shouted in pain.

"And I have a speculation that he may be sided with the Revolutionary Army. And if that was true, then the enemy will likely change the location of their hideout." Esdeath continued.

"Kurome. Fire" Esdeath said.

Kurome held a candle flame to the back of Wave's neck.

"HOOOOOOOOT!" Wave yelled in pain.

"Wave… your abilities are top notch, but your mental control is weak."

"But the next time you screw up this badly…"

"I'll be handling your punishment…"

"Personally."

"So, keep that in mind." Esdeath finished.

"Yes Ma'am." Wave said.

"To think I'm going to have to send out the three beasts to find Luffy…" Esdeath thought.

IN NIGHT RAID'S BASE

"We have a new mission!" Najenda said.

All of Night Raid was gathered around.

"Esdeath has sent out a new trio, but the problem is…" Najenda started.

"What is it, Miss Najenda?" Lubbock asked.

"This trio is pursuing Luffy." Najenda said.

An eerie silence filled the room.
