Chapter 26: Time For Action Part 2

"THIS IS SUCH A DISGRACE, HOW COULD YOU LET THEM ALL GET AWAY WITH MY PRECIOUS SLAVES!" Shalulia yelled out in a fit of rage as she paced back and forth in front of all of the Marine solider, Government agents, and the Vice Admirals and Admirals themselves.

"YOU WILL GET THEM ALL BACK! I WILL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER, I WANT THEM ALL BACK NOW!" She continued.

"You idiots are lucky that they missed my prized possessions, but that still doesn't make up for the fact that you were outdone so easily. I want as many guards around them as you can and also some for myself and family." Shalulia said as soon as she calmed down.

"This is a very disturbing matter. There better not be any more slip ups like this one or there will be severe consequences. Find out anything you can to get those slaves back, all of them." Saint Roswald said and then he left without any other words with his daughter and son behind him.

Although, with how well Ivy and the others had their plan set up there were no clues to be found. Ivy and the other maids in the house had been thoroughly checked for any signs of betrayal to which they all were proven to be innocent. Ivy had to hold her laughter as she cleaned the room Saint Shalulia was switched into because of her fear of being targeted. She had been whining all day about her precious slaves and checking every hour to make sure her prizes possession weren't in any danger.

"I'd hate to be her prized possessions. For all the shit she did to me, I could throw her ass into lava and still not give a damn about the consequences. Although, for some reason anytime she says anything about them she gives certain people funny looks. I'm gonna have to watch her more closely because it's obvious that she knows something that she doesn't want anyone to know about." Ivy thought as she finished dusting and then she left the room with a small bow.

~The Next Day~

"Saint Shalulia the children are crying again. What should we do?" The Agent asked her politely.

"I don't care what you do; just make those brat shut up, their disturbing my beauty sleep!" Saint Shalulia said as she threw a pillow at the man and kicked him out of her room.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Ivy asked as she held out her hand to him to help him up.

"Thank you, but if I took you anywhere near them she'd have me killed. It's a pain to deal with because neither of them likes her and they act up most of the time so they're always cranky." He stated with a sigh.

"Have they been fed?" Ivy asked.

"We fed them no more than an hour ago and they've already had their nap for the day." He said.

"Then my only guess is that they want to play or they want attention." Ivy said.

"If we get to close to them she gets angry with us, she's already angry enough that they like us more than they like her. I find it funny how they seem to know so much about her even though their only a few months old. Although, the real reason both of those children have that type of behavior towards her is because she took them from their parents when they were just newborns." He said as he sighed once again.

"She must really be lonely for her to take someone's children from them." Ivy said as she felt a tug at her heart at the thought of her two children.

"I thought the same thing, but there are other reasons why she has them here. I just can't seem to figure out what they are yet. Well, thank you for your help; you can continue your work." He said then he walked off down the hall where Ivy could hear the faint sounds of crying children.

~A Week Later~

"Alright, is everyone ready?" Hody asked.

"Ready." They all said in unison.

"Then let's get moving." Hody said.

They all took off into the houses as soon as the smoke bombs went off. They all swiftly moved through each of the cells underground and freed all of the slaves and quickly got them out and ran to the where the ships were docked. Although, this was not the case for the Fishwoman as she found a secret room that lead down a corridor with more slaves hidden in it. They were all out cold from the gas and none of them would be waking up any time soon.

"Guys, I'm gonna need you to get as many men here to help me out. We missed a few slaves in another underground cell." The Fishwoman said as she spoke through the Den Den Mushi.

"We'll be there in a moment, just wait for us." Hody and the others said as they ran back to her location.

The Fishmen carried them all out of the building and onto the ships as the Fishwoman checked more rooms.

"Hurry up, Anemone." Honey said through the Den Den Mushi.

"I'm coming, I'm just checking the last room and then I'll be on my way to the ship." Anemone said as she opened the last door and peeked inside to see two dark brown wooden cribs, one with light green covers and the other with peach covers.

Both cribs had chains holding them closed and had bars covering the top. Both cribs kept whatever child that was in them inside without any escape, but why would babies need that kind of bondage? Anemone quickly looking inside of them to see a baby boy and girl sleeping soundly, but just as she was about to brush off the situation and leave she noticed the marks on their necks. Her eyes grew wide when she recognized their unique features. Swiftly, she broke open the cribs and carried them to the ship in her arms.

"Is everyone accounted for?" Hody asked as he scanned the groups to make sure everyone was there.

"Where's Anemone? Has anyone seen her?" Honey asked, as she did not see the Fishwoman among their groups.

"I'm right here, and you won't believe what I found." Anemone said as she held the two babies in her arms as they played with her light pink hair.

Hody and Honey were taken aback by the fact that she was crying as they both walked towards her to look in her arms at the two children. They both gasped as soon as they saw the children's features that shinned under the bright light of the full moon.

"How could they?" Honey whispered as she felt tears fall down her cheeks.

Cliffhanger! So what have the Celestial Dragons done to these two precious babies? Who knows, maybe you will find out if you read the next chapter. Although, I am sure some of you have already guessed what they have done. XD
