Artemis' POV

As we stepped outside into the night, I closed my eyes and took a breath of fresh air. When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I noticed was about three dozen marines surrounding us, all of them fully equipped with weapons and surrounding us in a U shape to block off any escape.

Their Captain stepped forward and smirked at us "Surrender now, Hot Shot Artemis and The Shade. We have you surrounded."

Instead of reacting to 'Captain Obvious', I raised my eyebrow at Fafnir and asked "The Shade?"

He shrugged his shoulders "Well what do you expect? When almost no one knows your name, and you become an awesome assassin, you get a cool nickname like mine. I could ask the same about you; Hot Shot Artemis?"

"Hey, what can I say? When you're good, you're good." I bragged.

"I wonder why they call you 'Hot Shot Artemis'...?"

"Stop having a conversation!" Captain Obvious snapped at us, "Do you understand what kind of situation you're in?! With just one command from me, I could have all of my subordinates fire at you!"

I rolled my eyes and said to Fafnir "Maybe I'll show you another time. I just don't feel like it, right now."

"Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Captain Obvious shouted at us with a vein popping out of his head, "With just one command, you'd be dead in less then a second!"

I snorted "I sort of doubt that. It's been a long day, so I'm not in the mood for this."

His face turned red with anger "WHAT DID YOU SAY?! FIRE AT THEM, MEN!"

Before they could do anything I shouted "Wind element: Fly!"

The marines stared in amazement as Fafnir and I shot up into the sky.

"What are you doing?!" Captain Obvious shouted at them, "She's a devil fruit user! Shoot them down!"

They got over their surprise and quickly started firing at us, but we were already far away from their line of fire.

As we flew through the sky, I noticed Fafnir start to freak out.

"What the heck?! We're flying!" He screamed over the wind hitting our faces as he looked all around him, as if not believing that this was happening. "Am I dreaming? How is this possible?!" He demanded from me.

"Simple," I told him, "Since my devil fruit allows me to control the wind element, flying is one of the more basic things that I can do."

He calmed down "Okay, that makes more sense. So where are we going?"

"Marine HQ." I calmly said.

"Oh, marine HQ, okay…"

…

"WHAAAAAAT?!" He screamed, "Marine HQ?! Why would you want to go there?!"

"To get information."

"On what?!"

"The war between the marines and the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Listen, I know how you feel, but do we really have to go straight to marine HQ to get information? Can't we just watch the news, you know, the normal way! So we don't have to break into a freaking castle like building where the top dogs of the marines are?!" He waved his arms around to emphasize his point.

I shook my head "The news isn't always reliable. The World Government could just bribe people to give everyone the wrong story. You're curious too, aren't you? Haven't you been wondering what really happened during that war? How the Old Man died?" I took his silence as a yes and continued "If I'm going to get my information, I want it to be the truth. Besides…"

"Besides, what?" He asked cautiously.

I gave him a devilish grin "I like a challenge."
