Chapter 37! Sara switched sides again?! What is she?! XD
...
*flashback* (Sara's POV)
I saw the situation we were in. More and more enemies were flooding in and I was scared. Scared for my dear live. I looked at the man I loved deeply. He didn't love me back but I couldn't help loving him.
We were flying in the air. The feeling of flying was amazing. He grabbed me immediately when he sensed danger and he is probably thinking of a way to save me. He should pay more attention to himself too! I don't deserve this!
He broke trough the wall with his strong legs but every room we entered was full of pirate hunters. The situation was hopeless and I knew that Sanji should leave me behind.
"Put me down..." I begged quietly because I knew the gentleman wouldn't leave me behind unless I ordered him properly. "I SAID PUT ME DOWN!"
But that idiot didn't listen to me. He just smiled at me, trying to reassure me that everything would be alright even though the situation was pretty bad. "Don't worry, I will get you out of here at any cost!" Sanji promised.
Why is he doing this to me?! He turned me down and the next moment, he is ready to risk his life to save me!? I have treated him horribly, I have slapped him and lured him into this trap and he still insists on saving me!?
Sanji was looking around of them, trying to analyze the situation they were in.
"Hey, Sara-chan," Sanji almost whispered to my ear. He sounded slightly desperate. "Knock me out."
I shoke my head. I didn't want to harm him. "Sara, we need to get out of here but we can't escape at the same time. Pretend that you are angry with me, you can even hit me or kick me if they suspect you. If you can gain their trust, you can get out of here and get help. I will survive, they will probably want to get some information from me first."
I shoke my head again. I didn't want to do it but I didn't see any other option. But there had to be something we could do to escape together.
"Please, Sara, you have to - - " Sanji started to beg of me to do what he told me to do. I couldn't resist the look he gave to me so I hit him, as hard as I could after closing my eyes. My hand was hurting and I felt quilty after the hit but I had to do it even if I hated it. Besides, I was pretty good at acting.
*End of flashback* ( end of Sara's POV )
...
"LUFFY-SAN!" Sara shouted and stopped the ruckus at the deck. She jumped on the deck and raised both of her hands, breaking into tears. "PLEASE SAVE SANJI-SAN!"
"EH?!" Nami and Luffy voiced out at the same time. Sara felt ashamed that she was crying like this and everyone was looking at her but she knew what she had to do even if she felt embarrassed.
"Calm down, Sara! Explain yourself!" Usopp tried to calm the young lady.
"I lead him accidently into a trap! I was stupid, I didn't know those people were bad!" Sara staggered. "He let me escape and he got captured by himself!"
Brook started to laugh. "Yohohoho! That's our Sanji-san!"
"SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT!" Nami raged and hit the skeleton.
"Nami-san is harsh!" Brook whined.
"Where is he?" Luffy asked. He was dead serious and Sara could feel shivers running trough her spine.
"He is...at the mansion...west from the city," Sara told. "Zoro-san is already heading there!"
"WHAT!?" Nami, Usopp and Chopper gasped.
"He should have been training!" Nami hissed.
"Our leave will probably get delayed when we have to look for him. I hope he won't leave this island," Robin chuckled. She didn't mind staying a bit longer.
"Yosh!" Luffy voiced out, trying to get his crew's attention. "Me, Usopp and Franky should be enough to deal with those pirate hunters! And of course there is Zoro!"
"If he finds the place by some miracle..." Nami noted.
"You know Zoro! He has an amazing ability to find something when he needs to!" Luffy laughed and Nami smiled slightly.
Sara felt relieved. Sanji was going to be saved. He was going to be alright. These people were going to save him. He was going to be alright. Her muscles hurt. Her breathing was difficult. She didn't mind a one bit.
Chopper was there to catch Sara when the woman fainted. "Exhaustion must have hit her...she must have ran all the way back here..." Chopper explained shortly to others who nodded slightly when the small doctor carried the red-haired woman to the infirmary.
...
When the leader left the cell, noticing that Blackleg Sanji would not give them any information, the blond was barely concious. There was a pool of blood beneath him and his side was bleeding heavily - the dusty sword sticked trough his side, breaking few ribs. Well, it was not enough to kill the strong man but it was enough to weaken him to the state where he could not even consider running away.
I really hope that Sara-chan managed to escape...I hope she informed Luffy and others from the situation...
Sanji was worried over Sara when he should think of his own condition. His vision was blurry and he felt dizzy enough to loose his conciousness any moment. But he could do nothing to escape. He was too tired.
...
Sara regained her conciousness a while after she fainted. She tried to sit up but her muscles refused to follow her orders. They were hurting, a lot. Her throat was sore and breathing hurt slightly.
"Are you okay?" Chopper's worried voice asked. He looked at the woman, smiling at her.
"I am fine..." Sara answered, wanting to ask something but she couldn't.
"That's good!" Chopper sighed in relief and sat down to his chair. "You fainted because of the exhaustion!"
Sara nodded slighty and then she smiled. "I wonder if I could take my own sense of feeling away...?" Chopper chuckled slighty at the comment.
...
Two pirate hunters were standing inside the mansion, close to a cave opening. They were guarding some sort of secret passage which led straight to the basement of the mansion.
"Hey, why do we have to guard this place all the time? It's not like anyone could find this secret passage!" other one of them with brown eyes wondered.
"That's right...nobody has ever found this passage! It's so well-hidden that even those who know it exists can't find it!" the other one of them with blue eyes hissed.
They guarded the place because the had no other option. They didn't dare to not obey their orders. The new leader was pretty scary and his underlights didn't like his ideas but nobody dared to say it out aloud. They liked the former leader more.
Then they heard steps coming from the direction of the cave. "Oi joi, you can't be serious!?" the brown eyed pirate hunter gasped and they both took a hold of their weapons.
"This can't be happening!" the blue eyed gasped. "The secret passage should be better than perfectly hidden!"
Then they saw a figure standing at the opening, staring at them with one eye. The figure smirked at the two men standing there and staring back at him. "Do you know where the pirate hunter's mansion is? I got lost," Zoro hissed, admitting that he was lost for once.
...
Author's note:
Yay! I thought it would be such a fun coincidence if Zoro would find a secret passage :D His ability to get lost would be useful at this case!
