Chapter 35! :D There is finally some more action but don't worry, this story won't be going on and on forever :P

...

Sanji had enough time to grab Sara and jump into the air to dodge the gunshots which were aimed at them. Luckily for him, rooms of the mansion were pretty high and he had plenty of space to escape to. The size of the rooms limited his fighting since he was used to fight in bigger areas.

More people were flooding into the kitchen. Sanji thought that he needed to get out of the small room to some bigger room for more space to fight. But he couldn't fight with his full power if he had to protect Sara at the same time and keep her out of danger.

This situation is pretty annoying...I could beat these guys easily if it was only me in here but I have to take care of Sara! I can't possibly danger her!

Sanji kicked the wall and created an opening to the next room. It was also flooded with pirate hunters who were pointing their guns at the duo walking on the air. They weren't shooting them, at least not yet.

"Put me down..." Sara almost whispered but raised her voice. "I SAID PUT ME DOWN!"

Sanji just smiled at her gently. "Don't worry, I will get you out of here at any cost!"

Sara couldn't understand why the man was doing this for her just after turning her down. She had lured him into this trap, shouted at him and slapped him, but the man still insisted on protecting her. No normal man would do that for someone like her!

The pirate hunters started to shoot at them. Sanji kicked more and more walls open but every room was flooding with pirates. He would say that there were at least two hundred people inside the mansion at the moment and few more outside. It meant that he would have to dodge many bullets and it probably meant that he would get hit by at least one of them. And there was a risk that Sara's smooth skin could have a bullet hole or two after their escape like this.

It's not like they are elites but I can't keep running and dodging all the time! If this goes on, another one or both of us will get shot and captured! And I don't want that Sara is thought to be our nakama, a pirate!

Then Sanji got an idea. He whispered something on Sara's ear and the woman blinked, shaking her head. Apparently she didn't like the idea. It was actually pretty ridiculous!

"Please, Sara-chan, you have to - - " Sanji tried to persuade the woman to follow his insane idea but the woman knocked him out cold by hitting his neck hard.

...

"Hey, Sanji! ~ " Luffy shouted at the deck of their beloved ship, heading towards the kitchen. "Is the meal ready yet?!"

"Idiot! Sanji is not here yet!" Usopp hissed at their always hungry captain.

"EH?!" Luffy cried out. "He should be, he knows how angry I will be without food!"

"Sanji, that idiot...how does he think we will handle our hungry captain?!" Nami cursed and took a deep breath. "Where is that idiot when we need him?!"

...

Sanji's unconcious body hit the ground heavily and Sara landed on top of him and kicked the man slightly after standing up properly. She was angry at the man - why did he even suggest something like that in the first place!?

"DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD AGREE TO SOMETHING AS RIDICULOUS AS THAT?!" Sara shouted at the unconcious man.

The men around him looked at her with confused faces but they didn't lower their weapons.

"What's the meaning of this? Did you change sides or did you get pissed at him?" their leader asked with a grin on his face.

"I couldn't forgive him after all. He messed up with my feelings for too long! He deserves this!" Sara hissed and crossed her arms. She was sulking. "He was running after every woman he saw, falling in love with a man and playing with my feelings! I deserve a better man!"

The leader of the pirate hunters laughed loudly. "I like your attitude, woman!"

Sara smiled at the pirate hunters who lowered their weapons. One woman didn't seem to be much of a threat to them. Some of them were whispering something but nobody moved closer to the woman to check if she had weapons or something.

The pirate hunters dragged Sanji to a basement. Sara followed them obediently. Her change of side was pretty sudden to the leader but he could understand why the woman was so angry at the man. He would help her give the man a fitting punishment of his sins and a fitting punishment of being a pirate.

Sanji was chained heavily against the wall. They didn't trust that their average chains would hold the strong pirate with a bounty of 77 million so they used some heavier chains with big spikes in them - if he tried to struggle free, the spikes would hurt him. They also thought of drugging the captured pirate but they thought that they couldn't interrogate him if he was drugged.

Sara saw the chained blond starting to stir. He looked around of him and noticed Sara pretty soon. "Sara, I ... " he tried to stagger something. He tested his chains by pulling them slightly, feeling the spikes against his skin.

"If you really thought that I could handle all of that, you were wrong!" Sara hissed and glared at the man. She lowered her head to the same level with Sanji's. "I tried, I seriously tried to get you fall in love with me but what did you do?"

"Sara, listen - - " Sanji tried to explain something but felt a hard slap against his face.

"YOU HURT ME!" Sara shouted. "You swooned after other women, you didn't fall in love with me - you fell in love with a man! I can't take it anymore! You deserve this!"

Sanji couldn't defend himself. How could he argue with her when he knew she was right? After all, he had flirted with other woman and he had fallen in love with the stupid swordman instead of Sara. She was right, but it was not a reason to blame him from everything she had went trough.

"Sara, please... " Sanji staggered but Sara left the cell and the stunned chef behind.

...

"That was quite a show, young lady," the leader of the pirate hunters laughed, tapping Sara's shoulder. Sara's hands were shaking slightly. "Would you like some tea?"

"Tea to calm my nerves would be perfect!" Sara smiled at the man. "I really need it! Please don't let me get near him, I am too angry at him at the moment! I might do anything!"

The leader laughed and took Sara to the kitchen. "Tea for this lovely lady," he ordered the chef who started to boil the water. They sat down to wait for the tea. "By the way, I heard something about you having a devil fruit power?"

Sara nodded. " I would like to keep my ability a secret, if you don't mind?" Sara suggested and the man laughed.

"That's fine by me! You would be the first devil fruit user in this crew!"

"Sounds nice to me," Sara smirked.

Author's note:

Arg, Sara is a devil! I think I created her a pretty twisted up personality, don't you agree? :D Let's blame her teenage hormons for this! She is a cute girl, after all, ne?
