:D Hey everyone! Im super Lazy, so I wont write that much in the authors note.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC's and my plot for this story. The rest are owned by Oda.
I blocked the kick to my knee with a block of rock. As my opponent was prepared to charge again, I jumped back to create some distance between us. Closing my eyes, I pointed towards the man.
"Rock hurricane." At that mention of the name, the other stood his ground profusely. I opened my eyes to see dozens of floating rocks above me. With a word, all of them headed straight for my opponent. I thought victory was sure; I was wrong. He easily dodged all of them, moving left, right, up, and down to evade getting hit. I cursed at myself. How did he always manage to dodge them? It was like he could see my attacks before I even made them! Gritting my teeth in annoyance, I continued to attack him.
"Rock sword." A rock, in the form of a deadly sword, carved out of the edgy ground. Grabbing it, I ran up to the man in a blink of an eye. I brought the sword down with all of my might, only to be met with the sound of rocks clashing. I glared at the man who was under me, increasing my push on his sword. When I saw that victory was not going to be won in this position, I jumped back into the air. As my feet touched the ground, I jumped back off my feet and at him again. This time would be different from the first. Again, I slashed down from the top. He blocked. Then, I kicked him right in the stomach. I carefully landed on the ground as he stumbled backwards a little.
"Keiko." I stopped preparing to charge at the man and stood tall. Dusting my pants and hands off, I turned around to see my master walking over to me. My attitude instantly changed from 'the-hell-you-want?' to 'Damn.'. Dropping my sword to the ground, I walked over to a very tall man. He had blond hair that was combed back, along with a gotye of the same color. He wore a suit with the top buttons unbuttoned and no tie on, revealing the large scar on his large chest.
"Hey, Master-kun." I greeted. I could easily see the tick mark that appeared on his forehead, but he said nothing of it. Instead, he turned around and muttered a few curse words.
"You want to be a field agent, do you not?" He asked. I could clearly tell the guy was pissed off with me. I smirked as I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger.
"You telling me that I'm strong enough to go out and do missions?" I asked. I could tell that I was hitting his nerve as he stiffened up a little bit. Ever since my mom had died and father died out at seas, I was given to my uncle, you see. Than, he really couldn't take care of anything, so I had to be given up to this guy. Which is my other uncle on my dads side. From the time I had joined the WG and on, he has always told me that I would never be strong enough to go on missions. Now that I am, though, I will never let him live it down. He hates it when he's wrong.
"I'm telling you that you are being ordered to go to a "friend" of ours." He air quoted the words as he turned back around to face me. The sunset was in the back of him, so it was sorta hard to see.
"He wants someone unknown, unrecognizable, and unkind for this job. I told him that I had the perfect person." Now it was my turn to have a tick mark on my forehead. Okay, so I walked into that one, but he still got my hopes up for no reason. I saw the smirk on his lips and glared up to him. Idiot.
"Who's this "friend" dude?" I asked, trying to alter the subject a bit.
"A friend." And he left it at that. I didn't ask any more questions; I knew my limit. If he ever stopped talking like that in a middle of a conversation, it meant there was some bad beef with whoever he was talking about. I was snapped out of my thoughts as two men walked up from behind my master, both dressed in buttoned-up suits. At least these guys had some decency to dress like a real member of this organization. I turned my attention to them as my master started to talk- not that I really cared.
"Keiko, these are your escorts to meet this man." Both of the guys looked very... handsome? One was blonde, with a hairstyle the same as my Superiors, save for the beard and all. The second one was a raven-haired teen. He and dark brown eyes that showed sympathy, yet determination. I slowly turned my head and in a dangerously calm voice, I said:
"Gorosei." Ignoring my tone, said person pushed me in front of the two men.
"Have fun!" He smirked. He started to turn around and walk towards someone else, but than he turned back around. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Oh, but not too much fun." I felt an embarrassed blush creep on my face as he said that. Before I could come up with a good comeback, the blond man had turned around and engaged himself in a conversation with someone else. He knew what he was doing, he knew that I shouldn't be traveling with these two. Heck, I don't even need escorts! My uncle just looooved toying with me. Oh, how bad I will get him back for this. Thats what I thought when I was pushed away by the two men.
"... And then so when I tried to strangle the stupid thing, I found out that it couldn't be touched. So, using my amazing skills, I took the..." I found myself going in and out of concentration on this conversation. Or, rather, the blond teen was doing all the talking. I didn't even know his name yet and he was talking about his life stories! Seriously! I groaned quietly as he kept on going and going on about some bear he had tackled when he was younger. It had been 3 hours since that horrible Uncle of mine left me with these guys, and it had been 2 1/2 hours on this marine boat. Apparently, these two were marine captains at a very young age. They were to get promoted soon, but to which position I didn't know. We were all inside the ship right at the moment, eating dinner as it was raining outside. I looked out the window in pure bordem when I saw something that made my mouth drop to the table. I, with a couple other marines, ran to the window and stare out in shock.
"What is that?" I asked, amazed.
"It is the fog that surrounds this island." I turned from the window to face the raven-haired kid, Makato. He leaned against the window of the ship with a scowl on his face. "The air is worse than my mothers soup. It smells like a thousand rotting corpses, teamed with the revolting smell of red cabbage. The air you breath is too poisonous alone. It would kill someone without a mask in less than a file minute." He looked down towards the sea. "Waters here are filled with dead things, ranging from sea life to humans. One drink of that water can make you drop dead like a turkey on thanksgiving day." I shuddered at his choice of words. Was this place really that bad? And who in the right mind would live here?!
"Land Ho!" A voice called from the navigation room. I looked outside to see that there was a darker purple shadow-for the fog was light purple- in Thx distance. It looked like the shape of an island from back here, but I couldn't tell just yet. As we got closer to the land, the air had gotten more foul. It even started to creep into through the doorway! I quickly pointed this out to Makato, who started to scream for everyone to get on some masks. The room was in a franctic hurry by the time I was caught up with everything that was happening. A mask was so thrown to me, which I instantly put on. I inhaled deeply as I looked around me. Everyone was either on the ground coughing with masks on or they were standing and doing the same as I was.
"Well, staying here isn't going to help any." I stated. I was met with nods of the other crew members.
"We can't bring any of the food, either." The blond boy cursed to himself as he walked out of the kitchen. "Everything's already infected by the stupid fog." I sighed to myself. Walking around this unknown island was going to be hard, but without any food would be even harder.
"Fine. Everyone, stay in a group. Me, Makato and his brother will go out and find this friend guy were looking for. We'll get supplies, then head out of here, understood?" In response, all of the other marine's formed a small group in the corner of the big mess hall, all huddled together. Good thing they were all guys. Shaking my head, I walked towards the door and mtioned for Makato and his brother. I pushed open the wooden frame, only to be met with a surge of purple fog. I felt my lungs being scratched up as I realised that I hadn't put the mask on all the way. I heard the screams of my men before my world went black.
My eyes fluttered open, met with purple fog. I sat up from where I had fallen to on the deck of the Marine Ship. Looking around, I noticed that no one was around me. Had they left already? Thinking that they had, I swore that I would hurt them when they were found. Getting up, dusting my pants off, and fixing my crooked mask to go straight, I closed the door to the ship. I hadn't even realised that I was the only one making noise. Jumping off the railing of the ship, I gracefully landed onto solid ground. Or, I thought it was solid. It felt kind of squishy, like fat. I looked down and almost cried and jumped away at the same time. I covered my mouth with my hand, eyes widened in horror. On the ground were a few of the men that I recognized from the ship. Now, they were covered in blood, a gaping hole in each one's back.
"No..." I whispered. I closed my eyes in frustration as I swore that I would take out whoever did this. I continued walking inwards of the island, closing the eyes of one of the dead marine's eyes that I saw. As I got deeper into the land, I found that the air was getting much more breathable. There was more vegetation as I continued to walk. I actually found a green apple tree at one point, but the apples didn't look so inviting. There were no more bodies, thankfully.
Before too long, I felt my hand hit against something. It was so dark-guessing that it was night time- that I couldn't see in front of me. Feeling around the object, I found that it was some sort of metal. I knocked on it a few times. As I hoped it would, I heard an echoing inside, which meant this was either a building or it was a home. Who or why anyone would live here was beyond me. I stopped roaming my hands along the surface and knocked very loudly. I listened as the echo bounced off all the walls, followed by an eerie silence. I waited for something to happen; but nothing did.
"Damn it." I swore, knocking even harder on the metal surface. No answer once again. Closing my eyes, I rested my flat palm on the wall. I heard a rock sprout out of the ground, following by the sound of it crashing into the wall. By the sound of it, the piece of earth hadn't broken anything. After a few more tries, all my powers had done were make a small dent into the metal. Sliding down the wall on my back, I sighed in defeat. Than, I heard a footstep. It sounded more like a thud because of the heavy weight, but a footstep nonetheless. My heart skipped a beat as a wide grin broke out onto my face. I was saved! After a few more footsteps, a large creaking sound was heard to the left of me. I turned my head to see a small line of light on the ground. I ran towards it and stood in front of the seeming-like-it-was-a-doorway.
"Who's out here?" A small, childish voice asked.
"Keiko." I answered. When I looked into the light, I saw a small child, holding onto the door. She couldn't have been any older than 5 years old, with blonde curls and light, blue eyes. She also held a small teddy bear which had the fluffing and the eyes partially taken out. I felt a shiver run up my spine. The little girl was staring at me blankly, as if I were the most boring subject in the world. Then, she quickly turned on the heels of her feet, facing away from me.
"My master is expecting you." That was all she said before walking into the blinding light. Taking a cations stance, I slowly walked into the door.
"What the..." I whispered, looking around the room. I raised my eyebrows in surprise as I was met with one of the darkest rooms I've ever seen. I could tell it was pretty big somehow though. Putting my hand in front of my face, I realized that I couldn't even see that. I kicked at the ground a little. Well, my powers are going to be useless; There was no rock as far as I was concerned. Reaching out my arms, I tried to feel around my self. I couldn't feel anything after a couple of steps. After a while, I started to feel pretty stupid, so cursing into my head, I put my arms down and scowled.
"Keiko?" I turned -I think. Can't really tell in this darkness- and squinted my eyes to try to see something I knew I couldn't.
"Thats me." I replied. My eyes shut immediately on impact as I saw light flood into the room. I gasped in shock and stumbled backwards a little bit. After blinking a few times, I opened my eyes all the way to be met with an enormous room. Well, I was right! In the middle stood a very tall man. He had big, dull brown eyes. He looked a little sleep deprived and was a bit chubby. He wore a long, black cloak and had thick glasses on. Other than a big scar on his cheek going sideways, I couldn't see anything else.
"Who are you?" I spat. When I saw him, I was reminded of the Marines. Although I didn't know them that well, I didn't want them to die! Something about this guy screamed death to me. I tensed a little as he opened his mouth, prepared for anything.
"My name is not important right now." He spoke very slowly, very gruff. "What is important is what you are doing here."
"I was sent here." I replied.
"By who?" He asked.
"Well, that isn't important right now." I snapped. The man sighed very deeply, lowering his eyelids down to slits.
"You don't deserve to live."
"And those you killed didn't deserve death, did they?" I was getting very emotional at this point. Images of those killed ones flashed through my head like a nightmare did after you woke up.
"Those who died earlier were of no importance on this island. Therefore, their was no need to keep them here. I simply... did what none would." I gritted my teeth in annoyance as I watched the man slowly walk up to me.
"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now." THe man gave a small chuckle. Than, before I could even widen my eyes in surprise, I felt my back filled with immense pain as it was met with the back wall. My eyes then widened in such pain and surprise that I thought they would burst. Blood squirted out of my mouth as my body took on what just happened. THe man's hand was at my throat, raising my body higher against the wall. My back was hurting so bad, and my eyelids were getting very heavy all of the sudden.
"Damn. For an old guy, you're pretty fas-" I screamed in pain as I felt fingers stabbing my stomach. I felt liquid spilling down my stomach as I hung my head low.
"I have a job for you. I trust that your Uncle has sent you?" He asked. My eyes snapped open at the mention of his title. Did...did my Uncle plan this? The man's a shit head, but this... I closed my eyes weakly. No, I wouldn't believe it... will I?
"I take that as a yes." He answered his own question, taking his hand away from my neck. I fell limply to the floor, somehow sitting upright against the cold wall. I stare at the blood that escaped from the hole in my stomach. THe man turned around from me, showing a strange sun mark on the back of his cloak.
"There is someone that I need to be rid of. I need someone to go after him, to kill him. From what I have heard, you are very strong when surrounded by rock. Your job will be to take down this man, for all the shame he has caused my family."
"Why..." I gasped out, coughing more blood. "Why can't you do it yourself?"
"Because, I have better things to do. And, if you don't do it, well, see for yourself." With a snap of his fingers, a part of the wall opened. I nimbly looked up, then gasped in shock. My eyes widened and my mouth hung slightly open. In the wall was a cage, and inside the cage were people I thought I'd never see again. The teen had big, blond locks. Her deep blue eyes were narrow, full of hate and despair aimed at the man. She had on a tight, pink sihrt that revealed her cleavage, and small, white shorts. She had sneakers on and she was grabbing at the gates of the cell. I felt my eyes tearing up as I took in her form.
"Naomi!" I screamed, despite the pain welling from my stomach. The girls eyes widened as she slowly turned her attention to me. Her eyes watered as well, and she slowly fell to her knees, still holding onto the bars. A tear fell from my eye as I saw her bursting.
"KEIKO!" She sobbed. I started to sob as well as I saw my only-by-2-months little sister. I slowly stood from my place on the floor, trying to grip onto the metal wall as I slid up. My stomach and back were going to kill me soon, but I didn't care. As long as I could speak with my sister one more time. When I tried to make one step, something shot up my leg. I stopped. I was literally sweating from all the pain I was going through, but hearing my sisters cries, I continued. Letting go of the wall, I took another step.
"N-Naomi!" I rasped. I was about to take another step before the man was in front of me once more. Than, I was kicked back into the wall. I thought I heard my spine break as I landed back on the floor. I couldn't move anymore; I was in so much pain. But, I still heard my sisters cries. as well as the approaching footsteps. Blood curled out of my mouth, my sight diagonal. All I saw was the coming steps of the man who had beaten me to near death.
"You are to find Trafalgar Law, kill him, and report it back to me. UNderstand?" He told me. Trafalgar Law? The Rookie? I couldn't move my head. Chuckling that evil chuckle, he turned around. My eyes glared at his back as he walked over to the still-crying Naomi.
"I'll take that as a yes. Also, if you don't do this within a span of 2 years," He stroked my little sisters cheek with his filthy hands. "This precious face will have to be eliminated." I saw my sister glare at the man as if she was going to claw his eyes eye, but remained silent. Grabbing her wrist, the man turned back to me.
"Oh, and don't tell anyone of this." And with that, they other vanished. I felt a tear rolling down my cheek of not pain, but of seeing my sister again. Also, it was because I had the knowledge that if I failed this, my own flesh and blood would die. I clenched my fist so hard, my hand started to bleed. Now that Law had done something with this family, mine was dragged into the affairs, followed by the warning of death. I don't know that much about Law, and I will never care to. But, I am going to kill him for doing whatever he did to make this man harm those marines and my little sister.
I opened my eyes, looking to the darkness of my room. A tear slowly fell down my face as pain from the earlier fight took over my body. It was only 3 months since that had happened, and my wounds were NOT healed at all. I closed my eyes again as my sisters cries filled my head. Yes, this would be the hardest hing I have ever done. No, I would never quit. The same thing happened to the rest of my family, and I will NOT let it happen to Naomi.
