The side of the building exploded as Velica launched herself out of the hotel room and landed in the middle of the street. Panic and confusion ran through the villagers as they scattered everywhere screaming and yelling. Glancing behind her, Velica stood up to her full height at looked up at the open room where she was that was now left to rubble.
"Hai-ya!" Bepo came from no where and tried to land a kick to the side of her face, but this time she blocked it with the side of her arm, throwing the overly large bear off and allowing her to grab his ankle and swing him around like a rag doll and release him into the street. Luckily for him, he landed on his feet and was unharmed, beside the aching in his foot.
"You're persistent." Law said, walking out in front of her, Penguin and Shachi behind him and acting like they were ready to fight her. Velica snorted and shook her head, causing her hair to leave the front of her face and fall against the sides.
"You're one to talk. Always quite and level headed, but I've seen that look in your eyes when you go into battle Trafalgar." Law smirked and drew his Nodochi slowly as if to taunt the girl.
"Room." Velica growled, watching as the light blue spear engulfed the battle area. She had seen this attack enough times to know that she was more of less done for if he were to swing his Nodochi, so she couldn't give him the chance. Using her Devil Fruit powers, she slowed down the time to launch herself in front of Law and give him a swift kick to his stomach. He coughed and gasped for air as he was pelted across the street and landing on his back, the air knocked out of him.
"Captain!" The three called out from behind, causing Velica's eyes to widen and whip her head toward them, her expression shocked before she slowly turned back toward Law, who had gotten to his feet, but held his chest where she had kicked him.
"So, it's true. You have betrayed Doflamingo. How could you do such a horrid thing, Trafalgar?" Law smirked, wiping away some of the spit that had fallen from his mouth.
"You wouldn't understand, he's always treated you like his little "princess" while he's made the rest of his crew live in hell." Velica closed her eyes and lowered her head. Gritting her teeth she balled up her hands as her body shook slightly, Law's taunting had more then gotten to her.
"He doesn't treat me like a "princess". My life isn't as easy as you believe, Trafalgar." She raised her head, her eyes with the look to kill.
"You don't know what's going to happen if you don't drop all of this foolishness and come with me, Trafalgar. You must return to the ship." Law raised a brow, Velica knew something important that she wasn't telling him, but what? Law knew well enough that Velica had the powers to not only slow down time, but she also had the power to randomly see so far ahead into the future or look back into the past.
"Velica, there you are." The deep voice called out from right behind, causing the woman to stiffen from the sudden appearance. Law's eyes widened, looking straight at Vergo who stood behind the girl, towering over her form.
"Vergo, what are you doing here?" She asked, turning halfway toward the man.
"Mr. Doflamingo has asked me to bring you back to him. Law, you have betrayed Mr. Doflamingo, I would watch your back if I were you." Vergo warned, grabbing Velica around the waste with his arm. Law clenched his teeth together and swung his Nodochi toward Vergo, but Velica had once again used her Devil Fruit powers to safely get them away, leaving only dust in their wait.
"Captain, what are we going to do now?" Bepo asked, running toward his captain's side. Law growled and lowered his hat over his eyes, causing his gaze to be unseen.
"We'll get her back, it's part of the plan so it's got to happen." Law informed the three of them. All of which who nodded in agreement.
Doflamingo was waiting in his room patiently for the return of Vergo. He was siting in his chair, his fingers tapping against the wood of the arm as he looked rather bored as he sat there waiting. How long was Vergo suppose to be gone? All he had to do was track down Law and bring back his little Velica, that wasn't so hard now was it? About that time, the doors to his room opened and in stepped Vergo with Velica trailing behind him. Doflamingo's head raised from his hand as he quickly jumped from the chair and bolted toward her, causing her to squeak and take a step back as he embraced her.
"Are you alright?" he asked her, causing her to give a muffled 'yes' into his feathered coat. Doflamingo's smile returned as he chuckled and pulled away from her to take a good look to make sure that Law hadn't done anything to her that he would regret even more than just his betray to him. Doflamingo took one of his large hands and moved it slowly and softly against Velica's cheek, causing her to turn toward his hand and pull away from it. Doflamingo's smile faded from her action, causing him to cup her face with both his hands and make her look at him.
"Why did you leave me?" Velica's eyes widened, her mouth opening before closing again.
"I didn't want to leave, Trafalgar kidnapped me." An angry look came to her face as she remembered the bag that was thrown over her head and the bump that was given to her on the head to knock her out cold. Doflamingo looked her over once more before being satisfied with her.
"Leave us, Vergo." Vergo did as he was told and left the room, leaving the both of them alone. Velica felt an uneasy feeling drift over her as she looked up at Doflamingo, who still had a hold of her face, and was smiling again.
"Did Law say anything to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Anything at all, such as why he kidnapped you?"
"He told me I was his "leverage" at the moment."
Doflamingo released the girl before standing up to his full height and looking down at her. He reached out and ran his fingers through her hair slowly, causing her to sigh in annoyance and look away from his out stretched arm. When he was done, he let his hand fall to his side while his other rested in his pocket.
"I don't want you out of my sight from now on. You are to accompany me everywhere from now on and you are to never go anywhere without me, do you understand?" Velica closed her eyes and sighed slowly.
"Understood." Doflamingo smiled at this answer.
"There's a good little girl." He told her, leaning down to her level and placed his lips over her for a moment's time.
"There's my good little girl." He chuckled, pulling away from her lips and ruffling her hair. He then took her hand in his and lead her to the bed while he chuckled softly.
She felt as she became numb from his actions, how could he do such a cruel thing to such a young girl?
