Hello Kitties
I do not own One Piece or anyone who appears within my story.
Thank you all for following, reviewing, and favoriting my little stories.
I know it has been a while since I have updated. Also, a year coming next month.
Chapter 12
Blake stands alone on a desert island. He closes his silver eyes as he raises his head towards the sky. 'Lily, Mihawk, and Shanks. Please forgive me. Forgive this old fool for all the heart ache I have brought into your lives. Minko, please know I have always loved you. I do hope my letters reach you all before Akino comes for any of you.' He thought to himself. "Nako I shall be seeing you soon my dear." He whispers the last part into the air.
"Blake." Growls out Akino as he glares at the old Marine standing before him.
"What do you want Akino? I came to meet you for whatever reason you would need to speak to me out here?" Blake spat out at the bastard before him.
Akino moves his arm's out to motion to their surroundings. "Blake you damn well know why we are here." He tells the older Dracule with a dark smirk on his face.
Narrowing his silver eyes upon the bastard before him. "Don't bullshit me Red Dog." He growls out at the man standing before him who stole his love and his youngest son's mother.
Madness laced Akino's laughter. "You're right. I should stop playing with my prey." He tells Blake. Blake ready himself for anything to come. "This will be your resting ground Dracule Blake. Do not worry. Your son's will follow behind you shortly." He told the elder Dracule with a sneer. A massive lava covered right fist to the center of the man's chest. Burning a hole through his chest.
"You….you…w…will…no…not…get…awa…away…with….with…thi…this…" Blake gasped out with his last dying breath. As he fell forward into the bastards arms.
"I think I have gotten away with this." Akino told the lifeless body of one Dracule Blake as his body melted away from the lava engulfing him. Akino smirked his hand from the last of the man's clothing off it.
Grand Line
Shanks stiffens as the dark feeling ran through out his body. He closes his eyes leaning his head back, hitting his head against the wall leading towards his cabin as he slides down the wall. Landing on his ass.
"He's dead." Shanks whispers as Benn comes walking towards him with a letter in hand.
"Shanks…." Benn began but stopped in his tracks as he saw an expression upon his Captain's face…A look he had never seen before. As the man standing before him look broken…but what had broken him in suck away.
"Are….are you okay?" Benn questions with slight fear being heard in his own tone.
Slowly Shanks turns his head towards his old friend and Vice. "No…something has happened…" Is all Shanks told the man.
Shaking himself out of his stupor Benn remembered the reason he had come to find his Captain. "I have a letter here for you." He said told up a black envelope.
Shanks eyes widen with shock and horror. "No." He said as he quickly raised to his feet and stanched the letter from the smoking man's hand.
Benn just gaped at the actions of his Captain as the man feel back onto his ass. Quickly he pulls the letter out of the torn black envelope. His eyes open wider with horror.
My Son,
If you have received this letter it only means one thing. That damn dog has come to take my life and will come for those who knows his dirty little secret. As he doesn't want anything know he is a coldblooded killer. A murderer who took the lives of the innocent.
Shanks I am sorry for all I have place you through. I only wish you had gotten to know your sister. Like you have gotten to know and grow with your brother as his best friend.
Please forgive this old fool. I have wronged you in many ways.
In the coming days you will be receiving some of my items. Items I believe that would suit you well.
My son. Do not go after the dog. Not until you are able to meet you with your two siblings.
Your Fool hearted Father Dracule Blake.
Shanks slammed his head several times against the wall behind him. "DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT! YOU… FUCKING BASTARD. HOW…HOW…HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME AND MY SIBLINGS!" He screamed as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Now this has everyone rushing to where their Captain is scream and sobbing the lost of a man who had tried to be his father. But took a step back out of his life as his wife had ordered it.
New World
A woman with long crimson locks stands atop the tower of one of her private homes. Her single silver and golden eyes look over the land before her as she holds the black envelope to her chest as she closes her eyes. As she moves the paper to look at once more.
My dear daughter,
Lily I know I have wronged you as well as your mother. But you shouldn't hold your mother's pain and hate. For had happen was my fault. I couldn't help my heart for loving two beautiful women. One a Childhood sweetheart and another love at first sight.
My dear daughter you should live your life to the fullest and find someone you can love with your whole heart.
Sadly, this will be my final letter you shall ever receive as I am now dead. As I had been murdered by the man that had murdered your youngest brother's mother. The man who has been chasing you for your title and statues in the world of Nobles. My daughter please be careful around that man. As he wouldn't think twice in ending you for not having his way.
Your father Dracule Blake
Lily leaned her head back allowing the gentle rain to wash away the tears that had began to fall on their own. "Father. You fool." She sadly said to herself as she turned on her heel to enter her home. She needed to see her mother and find her brother's.
Grand Line
Minko opens a crimson letter resting upon her office desk. Arching a brow at how simply addressed to her.
My dearest wife Minko
I give you my heart on my dying breath. I had wronged you in the past and I take reasonability for all my acts against you. I know you are questioning why I am sending you this letter. Well, my love…I have drawn my final breath. My final breath in this world without being allowed with seeing your lovely heart shaped face one final time.
Do not go to the Marine's about my death. If you must speak to someone. Go to my only friend Garp. As he knows you was the one has taken my life.
If anything, my love just protect yourself and keep a watchful eye for a red dog.
Love, I shall miss the nights we sat outside during the spring nights watching the stars and early mornings sunrise during our private moments alone. The tender kisses and secret touches. I shall love you until this world ends. As you will always be my starlight.
Love Dracule Blake
Minko leans back into her armchair. "So, he really went after my husband when I demand that bastard to never come near my husband, myself, or my family. Even the child that he had with her." She spoke to herself as she closes her eyes as a memory play in her mind.
Flashback
Minko visiting an island far from home when a young man around the age of 17 or 19 stepped out of the shadows. "Lady Dracule." He calls out to her.
Turning on her heel towards to someone calling her from behind. "Yes?" She questions the strange young man standing from her right.
"I know your husband's secret." He tells her with a dark smirk. As his eyes promised her pain.
She scuffs at him. "It isn't a secret. All that need to know, know about his little secret." Minko told him as she just glared at him.
"Really? So, the Marines know that one of the Vice Admiral has a son out of wedlock?" He questions her with his cocky attitude. Grinning this he had won. "I will not inform them if you pay the price I am asking or something bad will happen to your family….or more like that new little family your husband has been building." He told her with a smirk.
She laughs. "I will not pay you a thing. If you touch a single hair of my children or of his child and his mother. I will end you boy. As you are just trash trying to extort a noble woman. I should have you thrown you in jail for even thinking of speaking to me in such a manner." She hisses out at him.
"You bitch. Just you wait. I shall take it all from you. If not today. I shall do it one day." He threatens her as he stepped back into the shadows of the alleyway running away from her as she had walked towards the alleyway to take care of him. As she isn't one to take threats laying down.
He was gone once she had entered the mouth of the alley way.
"Mother?" Calls a young man.
Turning back towards the street she had been walking down, now stood a young man with raven locks like his father and her golden eyes. "Is there something wrong Mother?" He questions as he moves towards her swiftly with his mighty sword resting upon his back.
She smiles up towards her son. "No, my dear. Nothing is wrong. I thought I had seen an adorable black kitten and wanted to see if I could catch it." She told him with a reassuring smile.
"Oh. Do you want me to hunt it down for you Mother?" He questions smiling as a glim in his golden eyes, she could see he wanted a nice little hunt.
"Oh no dear. Your father would have a fit if I come home with another kitten." She told him laughing.
"Well Mother, I shall find you a kitten you'll enjoy and drive Father crazy with." He told her with a chuckle.
"I shall hold you to your word." She told him in a playfully.
End of Flashback
"The little bastard." She hisses as she looks towards four frames one of her with her husband, another of her daughter, her stepson, and his fiancée, the third is one of her son and stepson. A single tear rolling down her cheek. "My children my God be with you and protect you." She said as she placed the letter down upon her desk. Knowing she will have a fight upon her hands soon.
I am leaving off there as the next chapter Mihawk and Luffy will receive their own letters. This was a good stopping place.
