I groaned. My head ached, and I could hear destruction going on around me. I groaned again, as someone frantically shook me.
"Jade! Jade! Wake up!" The person shouted in my face. I groaned again, and slowly opened my eyes. I blinked, staring up at the sky. Doflamingo! My head shot up, and I pulled myself up. That demon! He lied to me! "Jade!" I looked to the side, and saw..Father! He really did come back for me. But..could I really forgive him? I didn't know. "Are you ok?" I nodded.
"Yes.." I paused. What should I call him? He wasn't Akainu anymore, but..he wasn't Father either. "Yes, Sakazuki." I finally decided on. His eyes widened, and he smiled a bit.
"Alright, I need you to stay here. We need to evacuate the civilians. Jade, please stay here. I'm begging you." I nodded.
"Alright, I'm stay here. Don't worry." Sakazuki breathed out a sigh of relief, and left, running towards the downtown area. I grinned at him and ran the other way. Did he really think I'd wait while I could be doing something important? As I ran, suddenly, someone suddenly kicked me in the head, and I fell down, clutching where the person had hit it. The person laughed.
"Oh, Jade. Or should I say Cuffs now? I don't know which one you prefer. Doflamingo has a lot for you?" I groaned internally. First, I find out that my life was a lie, now I'm being kidnapped for a master plan made by an insane flamingo? Of course, now I'm going to lose conscious. As I thought that, black filled my vision, and I sighed. How many times has this happened?
Line Break
I slowly opened my eyes and realized that I was on the top of the royal palace, next to Doflamingo.
"Ah, you're awake." Doflamingo chuckled. "How does it feel to have your memories back?" I stood up shakily and ran towards him.
"YOU LIED TO ME!" I shouted out.. Doflamingo laughed, and dodged my attacks.
"Well, of course. I wanted to have something against the marines, and that was you. You're part of my plan, just like everyone else." Doflamingo laughed and I clenched my fists. Doflamingo infused his fists with Haki, and rushed at me. I clenched my fists again. I didn't want to use Haki, but I had to. He was rushing towards me, intent on killing me. I infused both of my arms with Haki and rushed at him. We met with a clash of blows, his Haki against mine. "You can use Haki?" Doflamingo asked, chuckling as he increased the pressure of his arms. I scoffed.
"Of course. Sakazuki can, can't he? Do you really think that his daughter would be less than capable to use Haki?" I grit my teeth as I tried to resist his power.
"Why don't you use it that often?" Doflamingo question me, his grin growing.
"The wind doesn't like to be trapped." I replied simply, trying to withstand the pressure Doflamingo was increasing second by second. But I couldn't. Doflamingo laughed as I fell back. "I'm not dead yet!" I shouted out again, and rushed towards him. Doflamingo laughed, and I knew I couldn't win. Not like this. I had to hit him when he least expected it. I had to let him hit me with a shot. I infused my leg with Haki, and rushed towards him. Doflamingo easily blocked it, and punched my face with his Haki infused fist. I fell to the side, on my stomach, and coughed out blood. Doflamingo laughed again. I heard the click of a gun. "You should feel proud. I forgave my father and brother with this gun." I coughed out some more blood and started to panic. No, Doflamingo wasn't suppose to kill me! I coughed out some more blood as I tried to think of a way out of this. I-I could….I didn't even know. Suddenly, I heard a voice on the breeze.
"MINGO!" The voice shouted. I cracked a smile. It must be Straw Hat. I heard a thud behind me, and knew that he had landed. "I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS NOW!" I thought quickly as Straw Hat took up Doflamingo's time. I-I could….An idea formed in my mind and I grinned. This could actually work.
"Well, I would kill you...but you caught me in the middle of some business." Doflamingo grabbed me by the head, and held me up. "Cuffs, decided she wanted to kill me. Of course, I can't just let a small fry pirate kill me. So I'm just in the middle of killing her."
"Cuffs!" Straw Hat yelled out. "You're alive!"
"Cuffs-ya!" I looked over next to Straw Hat, and saw Law. He was clenching his fists. "I'll get you out of this! You can't die until you tell me why you left!" I nodded slowly. Blood was slowly trickling out of my mouth, and I occasionally coughed some more out.
"Well now, Law." Doflamingo threw me on the ground and stepped on my back. "Why would I let you do that? I'm not even going to kill you personally. I'm going to send her father on a rampage first." Doflamingo picked up a Transponder Snail and dialed a number. The snail rung, and I dreaded what was going to happen next. 'No..' I thought. 'Sakazuki is going to go insane. Please, don't pick up.'
"What do you want, Doflamingo?" I heard my father's gruff voice through the line.
"Now, now Red Dog. Don't be so rude. I'm merely calling to tell you I have your daughter." I heard Sakazuki inhale sharply. "I've caught here her, and she's...well...I don't think her condition is well. I mean, if you call coughing out blood a good condition, then she's well."
"Don't you dare touch her." Sakazuki growled out, seeming animalistic. Doflamingo laughed.
"Of course, now you have two options. One, you could try to harm me, but that would break the truce I have with your other Admiral. Two, you could leave her in the hands of two pirates, Luffy and Law." Doflamingo laughed again. "Of course, you could just abandon her. Break her heart again, like you did those years ago. Or, you could-" The snail made a sound as Sakazuki hung up. Doflamingo laughed. "Well, whatever he's going to do, he's not fast enough. I'll kill her first, since she means so much to the two of you." He pointed the gun at me again, but I was ready. As he shot the gun, I held my hands out until bullet stopped in midair. Doflamingo's veins popped out. "You shitty brat!" He growled. I let go, and the bullet fell to the ground.
"I'm not dead yet. And now Sakazuki is going to kill you." Doflamingo laughed.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Doflamingo grinned again. "You never know." I clenched my fists.
"You're wrong." I told him confidently. "You're wrong! I'll prove it to you!" Doflamingo laughed.
"If you say so. I won't argue." I looked towards Straw Hat and Law.
"Kick his ass for me." I told them firmly.
"Oi! Cuffs-ya, are you going to tell me or not?!" Law shouted out. I nodded towards him.
"Don't worry, someday. I will. Find me after this is over." Doflamingo chuckled.
"Cuffs, do you really believe they can beat me?" I met Doflamingo's gaze head on.
"Yes. I do." I leaped off the roof, and off the plateau. When I finally made it to the streets, I ran. I didn't care who I passed, as long as it wasn't Sakazuki. I had to know. Would he try to get me back? As I ran toward near the edge of town, I heard Sakazuki's voice, as well as the old man I had helped earlier in the day.
"No." Sakazuki said. I listened closely to their conversation, hiding behind a wall. "I'm not going back to save her."
"But, Saka-san, why not?"
"I'm not saving her."
"But you came to Dressrosa to save her, didn't you?"
"Yes, but...these people here don't have justice. I need to give them that." The old man I had helped sighed.
"Saka-san, you would leave your daughter for justice?" Sakazuki nodded. I felt so betrayed. Cared about me, my ass. Like he would do that. I can't believe...they were all false. H-He lied to me. Every single time he ever said he cared about me. W-Was his stupid pride more than I ever was? Tears welled up in my eyes, and I furiously wiped them away. I never should have trusted him. He got me to trust him, a little bit, but now I see that even a little trust was dangerous in the hands of this man. Akainu. The old man perked his head up as I continued crying, and glanced toward my direction. "I see now." The old man said. Akainu looked at him, confused.
"What?" The old man turned toward the wall where I was hiding and bowed. "I'm truly sorry you had to hear that." Akainu was worried now.
"W-Why did you just bow? W-What are you sorry for the person to here? Who is the person?" The old man gazed sorrowfully at Akainu, and shook his head.
"You've really made a mess now. I'll leave you to talk in private." Akainu was really confused. As the old man left, he glanced around warily.
"Who's there!? Show yourself!" I wiped away the last of my tears, and stepped where Akainu could see me.
"He was talking about me." I coldly said. "Akainu."
DUN DUN DUN! Akainu messes up again!
