Okay look, its reasonable to make Law a medical student/surgeon in modern aus. But hear me out; kicked out of medical school Law OR fired and license revoked Law who works part time at some restaurant during the day, and by night he's doing surgery in his own basement at a cheaper rate than most hospitals or insurances. NOT out of the kindness of his heart, he just wants to perform surgery.
Honestly nobody is doing it like Trafalgar D. Water Law. He's German. He hates bread. He keeps to himself. He gravitates towards extroverts. He has a nasty reputation. He doesn't kill people during fights. His first appearance resembles Salad Fingers who smokes weed. He's weak to cute things and one of his best friends is a fluffy bear. His moniker is the Surgeon of Death because people thinks his power is creepy. He wants to become a doctor like his parents. He looks emo and edgy with his tattoos. The DEATH tattoo on his hand is the reminder he gave himself during childhood of what's at stake while treating patients, and the rest is to honor a loved one. He's stressed 24/7 like he's a workaholic. He spends all his time napping against his emotionally supportive bear and wandering to collect coins. He flips people off. He loves comics and geeks out amidst a battle. He's a smart strategist and he knows it. He has never talked down on anyone. He comes off as sadistic and dangerous. He never betrays his ally and gets bullied constantly by the crew of said ally. He wears tragedy like high fashion. At the lowest point in his life he finds out that he has always been loved and never been alone.
Previously: Y/n and Buggy find themselves back the cemetery in order to find the missing gemstone. They find it hidden in a chest underneath Kisha's temple. To their surprise, Kija followed them and snatched the gemstone from them and completed the amulet. With the power of the stone unleashed, Kija spreads havoc throughout the island.
Part 15: Survival of the Fittest
The wind howled as the sky grew dark. The forecast didn't predict a storm, but the weather outside says otherwise. Lyla looked worriedly out her window, not fond of the storm on its way.
"This looks nasty. I don't think we've ever had something like this before," she says, closing the curtain and turning to face her husband.
Walo nodded in agreement as he changes Yasi's bandages. The young man winced at the subtle touch of the bandages tightening around his torsos. The bleeding has stopped, but that doesn't mean the pain has either.
"Do you think Y/n is safe?" he asked.
Lyla sighed and backed away from the window. "I honestly don't know. There is something off about that pirate fellow, I'm not sure he can be trusted."
"I thought you were fine with it?" her husband replied, packing the first aid kit.
"I've changed my mind. This whole situation just says my gears spinning."
"Buggy wouldn't hurt her. My father on the other hand, well you see what his assassin did to me."
The couple gave him a sorry look. It must be difficult to know your father gave so little about your life. Yes, he has been a character to deal with, but the boy did not deserve this. Lyla sat on the couch where he laid at and rubbed his shoulder.
"Remember, you're not alone in this."
Heart-touched, Yasi's eyes watered as he tried to hold back his sobs. He wiped the small traces of tears and sniffled, "Thank you."
Thunder continued to roar through the sky. Hard thumps banged the roof of the house, the timing of the droplets fastened. Soon a downpour commenced. The three looked at the covered window that flashed with bright lights.
.°˖✧.°˖✧
Buggy honestly had no idea who he was up against. This man could have been beaten minutes ago, now, he’s not too sure. The wind ravaged against his face as he ran closer to the eye of the storm. The golden beam shooting up the sky got brighter by the second.
Was this really the power of the amulet? It’s astonishing.
The pirate now stands before the crumbled temple, looking for any signs of Kija.
“Come out you son of a bitch!”
Lightning strikes in the sky, followed by a loud boom. The clashing light revealed a dark shadow within the beam, disappearing as fast as it came. A small drop of water falls on his red nose. Buggy looks up at the sky, it begins to drizzle.
The sky continues to darken, with each rain drop becoming bigger than the last.
“I really had nothing against you,” a voice says.
Buggy looks around, not knowing where it came from, the thunder makes it hard to hear.
The beam in front of him slowly fades as the rain begins to pick up. A dark figure slowly descends from the air.
“That’s till you started middling with my plans,” the voice continues.
The light finally fades and darkness surrounds him. Another clash of lightning reveals Kija standing on the top of the pile of rubble. Buggy secured his stance.
“What are you? Zeus?” the pirate mocks.
Kija smirks. “I’ll be more than a god,” he boasts.
He wraps his hand around the amulet, activating the gemstone. Powerful sparks emerge around him, spiking into the air. The electric bolts spread outward, striking everything in its radius. One hits a gravestone, bowing it up immediately. The blown-up ground throws soil into the air, some specs landing of Buggy.
Shocked by the power, Buggy widened his eyes and stared back at Kija.
“Give me the girl and I might let you live,” he demands.
Buggy grits his teeth. “Over my dead body.”
Kija fakely sighs, “Very well.”
His hand grips the amulet, making it glow brightly, his eyes too shined an amber color. He charges the power and gathers the energy around him to strike a lightning bolt right at Buggy. Instinctively, his body parts fly away from the target point. The hair on skin sticks up from the electric charge; though, it could also be from fear.
Buggy had no idea how he dodged it, but he knows he wouldn’t be so lucky the next time.
Lightning bolts continue to strike the ground, sparking fires wherever they would land. The heat of the bolt is intense, enough to make his face paint drip down to his chin. There was no time to think about such matters as he twirled and flipped across the open field. Body parts scattered and reattached, hoping not to be hit by the mass voltage. Before he could realize, he was stuck within a blazing death trap.
Lightning bolts were strategically placed to form the scorching ring. Sweat heavily drips down the pirate's forehead, both from the rising heat and fear. Kija was about to send another lightning bolt, but suddenly stops.
"You know what?" he says.
Buggy only looks at him puzzled.
"Let me add more to your torture." He smirks and flies over the ring of fire.
"You can fly?" Buggy shouts in irritation. His head follows Kija flying over him and he quickly realizes the situation-- he's going after Y/n. He balls his fist knowing that the only way to catch him is to go through the fire, in theory he could also fly, but someone has to hold his feet. The walls around him don't seem that high but getting burned in guaranteed. It is a risk he's willing to take.
His legs start to tremble as he moves to one side of the circle. The only way to make it over is to get momentum. He closes his eyes, regretting not killing Kija in the first place, but he finds courage to have a chance to have his head. He takes a deep breath and opens his eyes, with a loud sigh, he begins to run at full speed.
He sprints right towards the flames and shuts his eyes, hoping that his calculation is correct. Feeling like his heart is ready to pop, he jumps over the raging fire. The tip of the flames slightly grazes his pants, just enough to not melt the leather fabric. What felt like minutes, Buggy makes it over the fire and thumps onto the ground.
"Ah, shit," he groans.
He quickly recovers from the fall and looks at the forest in front of him. Kija is moving fast and will shortly reach Y/n due to her circumstances. With all his might he dashes into the woods, hoping to reach them in time.
Meanwhile, Y/n moves in a steady pace. She holds her leaking wound as she uses the trunk of the trees for support. With the night and cloudy sky, the visibility is low. At this point, she's only focused on moving forward, not caring if she finds herself lost.
Despite the adrenaline flowing through her body, the stab wound is becoming unbearable. Her breathing is no longer effective, it is rapid and profound. A sudden wave of panic hits her, only escalating the hyperventilation. She could feel a pit in her stomach followed by a sense of dread. Her legs stumble as she now freezes by the overwhelming thumping of her heart.
Struck by an intense fear, the loud thumps of her heart hide the gushing sound of wind heading her way. Before she could realize about the danger she is in, a bolt of lightning flies her way.
Her life flashes before her eyes as the white light charges at her, she shuts her eyes close by reflex and waits for the hot strike. To her luck, it lands meters away, but the electricity is strong enough to zap her body. The force of the energy shoves her body hard and straight to the ground. Ringing emits from her ears, adding to her state of confusion.
Kija walks over to Y/n with a large grin on his face. He is absolutely adorable stocked. He grabs her by the collar of her shirt and nears his face to her left ear. "Are you ready to become the little sacrificial lamb?" he chuckles.
Y/n trembles in fear. Her body has become limp.
Could this really be it?
Kija digs in his pocket to grab a small knife. "I'm not wasting anymore time. Immortality will be mine!"
Feeling useless, Y/n accepts death. As she closes her eyes, she remembers that she too has a knife. Buggy shoved one of his blades into her pants' pocket. Tempted to grab it, she hesitates. She's lost a blood, making her weak. Death seems near; regardless, dying from blood lost will be agonizing. Getting it over with appears to be the best choice.
Her mind begins to slip, almost like it knows about the incoming fate. Drifting to a state of peace, she let's go, waiting for the piercing stab to her heart and everything goes silent.
"Y/n, wake up!"
The abrupt voice frightens her awake. Her eyes pop wide open and she immediately reaches for the hidden knife. In a swift movement, she stabs Kija in the shoulder. He yelps at the sudden pain, dropping Y/n to the ground.
Getting a grip, Y/n stands up and focuses on the situation. If she dies, it will be on her own hands, she will not give him the pleasure of getting immortality.
"You bitch!" he shouts, trying to yank the knife out of his shoulder.
With the will to live, Y/n takes this chance to kick him to the ground and make a run for it. Kija lands on top of the knife, making him wale in agony. Thunder roared across the darkened sky as rain began to fall once more. Using the sudden flashes of light, Y/n runs with all her might, running deeper into the unknown.
Angered by the predicament, Kija takes out the knife and licks the blood off. He grips the blade portion tightly, making his hand bleed intentionally. A grin plasters on his face and begins to charge right after her.
Lightning bolts become more frequent, seemingly catching up to her. That's when strikes of lighting continuously aim for the ground. Each one is closer than the last. Though, none of them do reach her.
Y/n looks closer ahead and a bright redish specs float in the air. They increase and the smell of smoke is picked up. She suddenly stops, in front of her stands a rapid fire. It blocks her way, she looks left and right, it only seems to rage in both directions.
She stumbles to take a step back and when she turns, Kija was right behind her. He punches her in the gut, making her fall instantly. Y/n coughs out blood, holding her abdomen as the intense pain spread throughout her body.
“I’ve had enough you!” Kija, furious, holds the knife tightly in hands. He walks closer, fiddling the handle and holds a sinister smile.
He grabs a fistful of her hair and pulls her body with it. Y/n cries in pain, trying to release his hands from her hair, but it is no use. She’s exhausted, the wounds have taken a toll from her body.
“I want to hear you gurgle to your death!” he laughs.
Kija then reels his arm back, holding the knife steady. Y/n desperately wiggled, trying to break free, terrified to die. She wails, her hot tears dripping down her smudged face, there is nothing she can do. She shuts her eyes, waiting for Kija to end it once and for all.
Her heart pumps at an accelerated rate. The forced thumps become louder and louder, enough for the sound to become unbearable. Soon, it becomes too loud to focus and a vibrant pitch rings around her. Darkness begins to consume her as her body starts to shut down from the overwhelming stress. Within that darkness, light emerges.
It was in that moment that something possessed her. A massive amount of energy built up inside her core, taking over her body and mind. For a brief moment, her body went limp and suddenly regained control. Kija was shocked, something in Y/n has changed, it's almost like she has become a different person. This aura he feels is not from her, but of someone else.
"Abask," Y/n calls. Except it did not sound like her, but a deep enrich voice of another woman.
A chill runs down his spine as he notices Y/n's eyes are pitch black.
"Your people have caused trouble generation after generation. It will all end here."
Sweat drips from his forehead at the threat. His hands shake at the mysterious woman's voice. Who could it be? He thinks for a brief moment, that woman. . . it could only be. . . his hands stop shaking. It is no time for cowardness. This is the woman he always wanted to take his anger out on.
"Well, I guess I am a lucky man, Kisha. It is an honor to be in your presence." He grins, flashing all his pearly whites.
"The feeling is not mutual. I will stop this madness at once," Kisha's voice booms.
Again, the voice shakes the ground, the flames that engulf the land flicker ever so violently. It is hot, steaming hot, Kija is quivering in his shoes.
"You're wrong. The Abasks will prevail. You will be the one going down." With clenched fists, he moves to an offensive position, upsizing the possessed woman. "You ancient wrench, begone!" Holding onto the amulet, he summons a large electric charge from the sky and sends a high-voltage bolt down on her.
The lightning bolt strikes the grown with might, he's sure that he didn't miss. The ash arising in the air is proof of his victory, but he is wrong. With the ash settling down, the woman stands untouched, her face filled with fury.
"You fool! How dare you use the sea king's power!"
Her hands lift up the sky as everything around them trembles. The strong shake throws him off his feet. The necklace lifts off his neck, he tries to keep it on, but the unknown force breaks the chains off his body. The amulet goes flying towards Y/n, who instantly.
Kija growls, "You may have the stone, but I still possess its powers. You don't have chance against me."
Kisha smirks. The light that once surrounded Kija, begins to be sucked away by the stone and fast.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Taking back what never belonged to us."
"N-no! Are you crazy?!" He frantically tries to grab the wispy light, but it is no use, they are made of untouchable wavelengths.
It didn't take long before Kija was drained from every last drop of the mystical light. He is now an empty pathetic shell. Kisha holds the amulet in one hand and maintains the energic light within the stone. She begins to charge it up once again and points it at the man.
"This is goodbye. May hell treat you right."
Kija's life flashes before him, a fierce blast of energy his heading towards him and there is nothing he could do. He sits there, like a deer in headlights as the hot beam charges right at him. It then hits him, sending him flying across the land. Surely, ending his life. At the same time, the stone breaks, no longer withstanding the immense power of the blast. Now, no one will be able to use it for evil.
"Y/n my time on this world is done. I leave it to you now, my child."
Kisha's voice fades away and Y/n's body drops to the ground. Her head spins as she gains consciousness and mobility of her limbs. It is silent, only the raging cracks and pops of the fire are heard. She opens her eyes and blinks rapidly to fan out the small tears. As she goes to sit up, a sharp pain is felt on her left palm. A wet feeling soon takes its place. She takes a look at her hand and small fragments of the gemstone are penetrated in her palm.
Y/n is confused at first, but quickly realizes what happened. Kisha managed to destroy it. Her thoughts trace back to Kija, what happened to him? He was standing not too far from where she resides, she has no idea what her ancestor did, but one thing for sure, he is no longer a problem.
"Y/n!"
Coming from behind is Buggy. He leaps through the flames and embraces his woman.
"I honestly thought I lost you. I'm glad you're safe." He pulls from the hug to take a look at her face. His eyes then trail to her hand that she holds. Blood stains it. "What happened to you?"
"It was weird. I was cornered by Kija when I suddenly became possessed by Kisha. I have no idea what happened between the two, but the stone is no more, and Kija is nowhere to be found."
Buggy takes out a small handkerchief from his vest and gently wipes the blood on her palm. "That's too bad. It would have been cool to have the amulet," he says in disappointment.
Y/n begins to chuckle. "Yeah, you only want it to terrorize my hometown."
"I wasn't going to, I promise," he jokingly scoffs.
"Fine, I believe you,"— she sighs— "Take me home, it's been a long night."
As they head to leave, sound of gunshots halt their steps.
"What?" Y/n gasps.
Buggy shields her injured body. "No fucking way. How did he survive that blast!?"
"I-I don't know," her lips quivered.
Then, bullets come flying towards their direction, hitting Buggy in the process. Buggy falls back to the ground, he groans holding his right arm. "Shit,"— he rolls to his side— "Sea stone? He had that the whole time?" He continues to grit his teeth as his body becomes sluggish.
"Oh my god, are you okay!?" Y/n runs to his side, trying to see the bullet wound.
"I'll be fine, you need to get out of here."
"I can't just leave—"
Another round of bullets dangerously aims at her. She ducks and frantically tries to locate Kija.
Not too far from the distance, Kija slowly limps towards them. He points the gun right at them, struggling to maintain his broke arm up. The man in unrecognizable. His charred skin smokes from the cooking heat and his black face is practically melting.
"Look at what you've done to me," he cries. His hand shakes, barely keeping the barrel upright.
Y/n covers her mouth from shock, utterly disgusted by his nasty form.
Continuing his struggle to walk, he stumbles and falls to the ground. He screams from agonzing pain and cries, though, tears are no longer able to form.
"Get the gun!" Buggy orders.
Y/n hesitates at first, but quickly runs over and snatches the gun from the ground. Out of fear, she points it right at him.
The burnt man curls into a ball and holds his arms out in attempt to cover himself. He whimpers and trembles. Unsure on what to do, Y/n freezes.
“Finish him!”
Y/n looks back at Buggy, he tries to get up, but the sea stone is buried deep within his skin. “Come on! What are you waiting for?!”
“Y-you don’t mean. . .” She whips her head back to the man, who struggles to move. With much effort, he managed to get on his knees and looks directly into her eyes.
Kija pathetically pleads on his knees. "Please, have mercy,”— he sobs— "I can no longer help myself."
Y/n trembles, her hands vigorously shake as she points the gun at the burnt man. Despite everything he's done, she is not able to kill him. Who is she take someone's life?
"He's lying to you!" Buggy digs into the wound in his arm and pulls the buried bullet out of his skin. "Y/n, do it!" he groans in the mixed pain.
"I-I can't," she sobs, barely holding onto the gun.
The pirate knows this tactic very well. Kija is waiting for her to lose her guard and take the gun from her hands. Why does she have to have a chicken's heart? Sympathy will kill her. With the bullet out of his arm, he slowly regains his strength.
"If you're not going to shoot him, then I will," he shouts and runs towards her, but she has already lost her guard.
As she lowers the gun, Kija take this opportunity to lunge at her. "You stupid bitch!" And at the moment she accidently pulls the trigger, shooting him in the forehead.
The shot echoes and with the thud of Kija's lifeless body, an awful silence follows. Blood is splattered over her clothes and skin; an uncomfortable warmth surrounds her as the hot liquid stains everything it touches.
She drops the gun and falls on her knees. "No. . . what have I done?"
Buggy pauses for a brief moment, disgusted by the vivid hole on his head. He walks next to her and grabs her hand. "See, I knew you could it. You killed your first person. There will be many more to come." He pats her back, his hand is heavy and rough, where did that gentle touch go?
Y/n continued to stare at Kija.
Buggy realized this is the first time she's seen gore and death. With time, she'll get over it. He knows that staying will only make it worse.
"We're done here. Let's get my crew back." He gives her one last pat, his way of trying to comfort her. As he pivots to head to the gate, Y/n does not follow. She sits on her knees, a look of despair is expressed, as her hands shake in shock.
"Y/n?" Buggy calls out, slowly approaching her.
"I killed Yasi's father. . . " she sobs quietly.
Buggy wanted to roll his eyes, Kija has done worse, there is no point to cry over his death. Still, he knows that her fragile heart wouldn't handle his blunt remarks.
"Come on, you're still pretty injured." He picks her up bridal style and holds her head in place with his hand. "It was either him or you. No need to make yourself the victim here."
She laid her chin on his shoulder, looking back at Kija's dead body as Buggy walked to the cemetery's gate. Death was not the answer. He was done for and could have been taken custody.
"We could have taken him alive."
Buggy lets out a loud cackle. "Darling, I would have killed him either way. There was no way I was going to let him live after what he did to you. I think it was a nice ending to this story, he ended your parents' life and now you ended his. You'll make a fine pirate in my crew."
Y/n wanted to mock his words. She never wanted to have blood on her hands. To him, blood was nothing, it's as if he soiled himself with water. She continued to sit in front of Mr. Abask's body. She's killed Yasi's father, what will she tell him? That she murdered her father?
Yes, she did. She murdered this man and became what she despised the most. It made her sick to her stomach. She knew that this is a pirate's way of life, and she knew it from the very beginning. Buggy. . . a prime example of the merciless character of a pirate.
As Kija's body became smaller and smaller, tears dripped from her redden eyes. Her hands tighten around Buggy's jacket, angry that she falsely believed in her fantasy.
"What if I don't want to be in your crew?" she whispered to herself, closing her eyes as more tears drenched her face.
To those who read my fics, I will continue to update. I won’t be one of those authors who abandons their fics. It will take longer than usual since I have a lot on my plate. Working on multiple fics is not easy when you’re balancing college, work, and other things. I’m working on the next chapters and hopefully I can post them asap! Thank you for all of those who support my work. I will find a way to complete them :)
Luffy’s nostrils twitched at the aroma in the air. His eyes pop wide open as his stomach begins to grumble from the unknown smell. He rises from his slumber and finds himself sitting on a bed.
"Where am I?" he mumbles to himself.
He yawns, stretching his tight muscles and looks around the dark room. It seems to be the Royal Palace, did Doflamingo capture them? No, he won. Questions begin to pop in his mind as he sees another bed in front of him. A visible lump on the bed shifts underneath the blankets. It appears he's not alone.
Luffy removes the sheets over him and makes his way over to the other side of the room. Whoever is under the blankets is curled like a ball. He proceeds to remove the blanket and to his surprise, it’s Law. The vampire sleeps peacefully, hugging a pillow tightly.
"Torao," Luffy whispers, shaking his arm gently.
Law begins to open his eyelids, revealing his stunning golden orbs. His vision becomes more focused and his met with the grin of his mate.
"Mugi?" he groans, holding his head. "W-what happened?"
The younger pirate furrows his eyebrows, he too confused at the state they're in. "I dunno. I'm just glad to have my hat and that you're here with me," he smiles, pressing on his straw hat. Then, another random whiff of that delicious aroma goes under his nostrils once more, cranking his hunger. "Come on, get up. We have to find out what smells so good!"
He yanks the older's right arm, but Law cries out in pain.
"Ahh!" he screams.
Luffy immediately let's go and is shocked at the sudden wails from his mate. "Oh, sorry. . . I didn't mean to hurt you," guilt present in his voice.
Law grips on his upper arm, there's bandages, and blood is still fresh. His memories resurface from the day before. The whole fight with Doflamingo, he passed out during the battle, he swore he had died. Now, he's alive and his arm is reattached to his body. Most importantly, this mean Luffy defeated Doflamingo.
"M-my arm, how is it back on me?" he questions, looking at his mate.
"Oh, that. I found your crew and they stitched you right back up. I honestly thought you died on me there," he grins.
"How can you say that so lightly?" Law sighs, rolling his eyes.
The vampire removes his blanket and reveals the bandages that cover his body. He attempts to move his limbs, but his body feels like it has been in a wreck. "You have more injuries than me, how come you are up?"
Luffy only shrugs. "I guess I just a good night's sleep."
"Unbelievable,"— he sighs again— "you're truly remarkable Luffy-ya."
The younger blushes and scratches the back of his head. "Ya think so? I only won because of you."
"Don't make me laugh Mugi. That was all you. You're much stronger than me. . ." his voice mumbles at the end. He grips the bed sheets and looks out the window. "You know. . . I was supposed to be one saving you."
"What do you mean Torao? You're pretty strong too."
Frustrated, Law shifts his whole body to the side. "Y-you just don't get it."
Luffy looks concern and sits next to him, gently rubbing his stitched arm. He can feel his muscles tense under the bandages.
“Tell me. What’s wrong?”
Law looks at him by the corner of his eyes, hesitant to speak. Luffy goes to press on his arm, ever so gently, darkening his gaze. The tension in the room rises as the silence continues. Then, Law finally breaks the silence.
“I-I wanted to be the one to protect you,”— he lowers his head— “not the other way around.”
The grip loosens on the vampire’s arm.
“Torao, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
A small huff comes out of the vampire’s mouth. He grits his teeth, displeased at the reality of the situation. The truth is, he is angry that he is weaker than his mate; after all, he is the “dom.”
“Stop sulking,” his young mate pouts.
“You would you still be with me if I’m weak?”
Luffy rolls his eyes and swiftly embraces the older in his arms. Law winces at the sudden rough touch, his body sore from the previous beating. He avoids the human’s gaze, still ashamed at the predicament, but Luffy cusps his face. They lock eyes, one pair showing devoting love and the other beaming with self-loathing.
“We’re not doing this again.” Luffy kisses the tears unbeknownst to Law. The vampire quickly wipes them off, but the human stops him. “It’s okay to be weak. I will always love you. You shouldn’t be ashamed, even if I am stronger, I will always submit to you,” he says softly, pecking Law’s lips.
Luffy gives him a small smile. "Though, I'm not sure we have the same definition of submitting," he chuckles slightly.
The vampire scoffs with a giggle. "You sure about that?"
"Well, at the moment you can barely move. So, who do you think is in control?" he teases. Law tries to move his arm to grab Luffy's throat, but a sharp pain stops him.
Luffy laughs at his failed attempt. "See. Anyway, let's get going, I'm starving." He dashes out the room with his damsel in distress and follows the lingering scent.

The scrumptious aroma that intrigued Luffy happened to be a banquet made for their crews' bravery. The king of Dressrosa wanted to feed his saviors. Local cuisines filled the tabletop alongside with high-quality aged wines and other non-alcoholic beverages.
Luffy was angry at first, that no one woke him up to enjoy the food the king has offered. That feeling quickly faded once Sanji showed him the large T-bone steak and various meats cooked to perfection. Everyone ate, laughed, drank, and some shed a few tears. At the end of the banquet, everyone began to disperse to walk off the huge meal they ate. Luffy rubbed his enlarged belly and was about to grab the last cookie on the platter when someone called his name.
“Luffy-ya, follow me," Law whispered from behind.
The straw hat whipped his head, dropping the cookie back on the platter. “Huh, where to?”
“There’s something I want to show you.”
“Oh, okay!” He gets up from his chair and happily follows after the vampire. "Wait, can you walk on your own?"
"I'm fine, let's go before someone bothers us."
The two men leave the dining hall and exit to the large hallways of the palace. Law leads Luffy to the lower levels, going deeper and deeper into the non-populated sections. After going through multiple turns and descends, Law stops in front of a red door.
"We're here."
Law twists the doorknob and opens the strange door, it creaks, revealing a dim-lit room. Something about this felt like DeJa'Vu to Luffy, almost like he experienced this before. He brushed the feeling off and stepped inside. Once inside, candles lit around the area showing rows of books on shelves.
“So, what is this place?” Luffy cocks his head, eyes trailing to the intricate designs of the shelves and surrounding furniture.
“This is Doflamingo’s side of the castle. He renovated the place to add a sense of home. I guess the celestial dragons had a dark taste in architecture.”
“You mean vampirey?”
“Yes, that. I hate to admit it, but the dark vibe is comforting. I’ve only been here a few times. . . I wonder if he still has that room. . .”
"What room?"
The vampire dismisses the question. "Don't worry about it. I think it's too obscene for what I'm planning. . ." Silence follows shortly after. Recollecting his thoughts, Law walks up to one of the bookshelves. “I used to read here. There are so many books about the human body.”
Luffy takes a peek at the book Law holds open. "Oh. . ." His eyes focused on the sketched drawing of the human heart and its realistic dissection.
"The human body is beautiful, isn't it Mugi?" The vampire's golden eyes stare back at the human's dark ones. It is a tense feeling, making Luffy gulp.
Law closes the book and places it back on the shelf. “I grabbed these from the kitchen.” He pulls out a rectangular item from his jacket, a box of chocolates.
“They’re fine chocolates with cherry filling. I know you mentioned that you don’t like cherry pie, but this is different.”
“Hmm, that’s okay. I don’t think it should taste that bad.” Luff shrugs.
The vampire walks over to the middle of the small room where an antique chaise lounge couch is located at. Law goes to sit near the rolled arm of the black leather couch, patting the spot next to him. Getting the signal, Luffy follows after him and takes a seat at the old sofa. Law then hands him the box of chocolates and gets up to light the candles around them. When he returns, his mate has already devoured half the box.
Law smacks him. “Don’t eat them all!”
Luffy winces at the slight pain on his wrist and pouts, throwing the candy wrappers onto the floor.
"Don't make that face. Anyway, scoot closer," the vampire commands.
Law grabs one of the chocolates and unwraps it. He places it in his mouth, biting it in place. He moves his head forward and grabs Luffy by the back of his head, he pushes their heads together, feeding it to Luffy. The red filling ruptures inside their mouths, covering their tongues with the delicious taste of cherry. The kiss ends in a pop as both slurp the sugary treat down their throats.
Luffy is too stunned to move. Flustered by the action, his face reddens from the erotic kiss. Law only smirks at his reaction. He goes to wipe the small brown stain besides his mate's lower lip, his thumb runs over his pink lip, gently rubbing the smooth skin. Luffy doesn't break eye contact with him, his heart fluttering at every gesture.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" the vampire teases, cupping his face.
The younger shyly looks away, but Law quickly turns his head back. His half-lidded golden eyes spark a tingly sensation down Luffy's groin. The rapid blood rush is not unnoticed as Law gropes the growing bulge.
"Do you want another taste?" he sultry whispers, staring into his lovely doe eyes.
Luffy doesn't responds at first, hypnotized by his lustful gaze, but slowly nods his head as his answer. Law grabs another chocolate from the box and again places it between his teeth. He leans forward and pushes the candy inside Luffy's mouth. This time, the sticky filling runs down their lips, making a mess as it drips. Law licks any remaining syrup off his mate's face, making sure to leave his skin clean. Before Luffy could register anything else, Law shoves his tongue down his throat.
The vampire holds his head with both hands, pressing their faces firmly together. Their tongues swirl against each other, the soft muscles gliding smoothly across one another.
To caught up in the kiss, Law falls back, placing Luffy ontop of him. He grunts at the sudden weight; his injured body still tender from his fight. The kiss stops as Luffy becomes weary from the look of pain in Law's face.
"Are you okay, I should get off."
"No, it's fine,” he huffs out, holding Luffy in place. His hands run down to his hips, adjusting him on his crotch.
"I was thinking. . ."— he looks at him— "let's change it up for once."
Luffy raises his brows in curiosity. "Hmm, how come?"
"I want you to be on top of me tonight. After all, my body is not in the best condition to plow your fine ass," he says, smacking his bottom.
"Ride me. Your way."
Oh that sparked something devious inside of Luffy. He smirks. "My way?"— his weight presses against Law's crotch— "Fine, I'll make you regret that."
"Bring it on," Law taunts.
Luffy immediately lean over, dropping his torso over Law’s hard built abs. His face is only centimeters away from the older, enough for their lips to touch, but the boop of their noses impede it. Their breaths are heavy and warm, a cocky smiles plasters on the younger’s face.
He carefully avoids touching lips, sliding himself down to the vampire’s neck. A small peck is given near his Adam’s apple and more follow down to his chest. Luffy unbuttons the shirt as he works his way down his abdomen. He’s careful to avoid his injuries, trying not to mess with the bandages.
Law tightens his core, loving the fluttering touch of his mate’s pretty lips on his skin. The wet kisses trail down further, closing in on his navel and soon, dangerously close to his v-line. The hair underneath Law's bellybutton tickle Luffy's lips, the soft fluff of hair guides him to the seam of the pants. Using his mouth, Luffy unbuttons the pants and drags the zipper down, revealing the boxers underneath.
The bulge under the cotton cloth is ready to pop. With a seductive look, Luffy looks at Law for a brief moment and dives back down, bitting the seam of the boxers. He pulls them down in a swift movement and the erect member springs right out. The cold air makes the vampire hitch.
"Oh, squeamish aren't you?" Luffy chuckles.
"S-shut up and suck me already." Law grabs the back of his head and attempts to push him down, but Luffy doesn't budge.
The younger ticks his tongue and shakes his head in disappointment. "I thought we were doing this my way." He looks at him, with a cunning grin, and wraps his hand around veiny member. The vampire groans as the grip tightens around his needy shaft. "You're too injured to fight back. This will be fun, wouldn't it?"
Law continued to breathe heavily. Cleary, he has made a mistake. The tone of his lover's voice hints of a suspicious plan. Whatever it is, he knows he is not ready for it.
Satisfied by the vampire's submission, Luffy proceeds to slowly jerk him off.
The vampire knew he was toying with him. He bites his lip, watching the human play with his dry and painful erection. "Luffy-ya," he huffs in desperation.
Luffy rolls his eyes. "You can't wait, huh? Fine, I'll give you what you want."
Holding the shaft steady, he nears his face to the glistening pink tip. His tongue steadily slides over the pre-cum layer on the small slit. Law becomes tense at the touch as his dick begins to pulsate. The teasing continues with every kitten lick over the oozing slit. Law's flushed face turns Luffy on, making him eager to take more of his needy erection.
Having enough of the little game, Luffy suddenly bobbles down on the enlarged cock.
"Oh fuck," Law moans out, dropping his head back.
When it came to giving head, Luffy is another level. His unfathomable hunger has no limits, he takes him whole, leaving no area untouched. It was incredible, feeling his cock hit the deepest part of his mate's throat. In all honesty, he could cum at any given moment, but that would only ruin the fun. Though, Luffy is making it hard to resist.
Luffy fondles his balls as his mouth works it magic. His tongue glides past his thick veins and around the shaft. He holds back his tears, to the point where he stretches his throat to take in more the girthy dick. One could say he was cheating, but why make it harder on yourself. He continues to suck the throbbing cock, making sure to jerk him off at the base while simultaneously deep throating him.
"Luffy, oh— don't stop."
The vampire's moans were music to his ears. Hearing his deep and pleading voice sent an electric flutter in his stomach and into his lower region.
His loud slurps fill the room as he makes a mess, saliva pooling at the bottom of the dick. Law loved the sloppy mess that he would leave, beautifully lubricating his erection. Each bob tightens his core, being sent to a blissful state when his tip touched the back of his throat. It's to the point where the feeling becomes unbearable, and a wrenching buildup arises.
Law's breaths are more profound than before. His mind is gone, only thinking about the pleasurable state that he is in. Luffy bobs his head faster, knowing that Law's orgasm is close. He works diligently, taking his member whole. Many would think that it is a tiring task, but to him, it was a game. To see how long it would take for his lover to paint his tongue clear white. He loved every second of it, the taste of his salty skin, the girth, the gagging feeling in his throat, and most importantly, the screaming of his name.
Shortly after, Law takes a deep breath in and tries to thrust in his mouth. He wines, calling out his name as he spills his cum into his abused mouth. Luffy has won his little game, and is satisfied with his prize.
"Luffy,"— Law pants— "I-I think I'm done."
The human wipes his mouth, already finished swallowing his seed, and gives him a malicious smile. "Done? We're just getting started."
"Wh-"
Before the vampire could speak, Luffy pounced on him and attacked his chapped lips. The kiss deepens, the two entangling themselves, feeling up on one another. Luffy breaks free from the surprise kiss, a trail of saliva still connecting each other, and takes a moment to breathe. He gives him a smug look, wiping his mouth, and chuckles.
Law is taken aback and doesn't mutter a word. Luffy sits on his torso, careful not to sit on his wounds, and looks behind him. The erect member stands proudly behind his ass, Luffy slowly pushes himself against it, smiling back at him.
"So that was your plan, huh?" he hitches.
Luffy smiles. "Maybe."
He then proceeds to slide back, almost crushing the soft genital, enough for Law to wince at the slight pain.
"Careful, that hurts you know."
The younger only laughs. "Yeah, yeah, you'll be alright." He stops and sits right before the member. His hands make way to his shorts and slides them down his legs, along with his briefs.
His own cock stands up, just grazing over Law's. The feeling is soothing, both of their blood-filled erections touching, it only agitated them more. Not wanting to wait any longer, Luffy lifts himself with his legs, aligning himself over Law's aching cock. Though he is not prepped, his devil fruit helps him with that issue. Now over the member, Luffy slowly lets himself sink onto Law's thick cock.
"Fuck—" Law throws his head back, tightly grabbing onto Luffy's thighs, feeling himself be sucked in. Due to his devil fruit, his grip and tightness were on another level. Law didn't know if he should feel blessed or not; regardless, the pleasure is immense.
Luffy finally sinks down to the base of the shaft to where his balls touch his bottom's skin. He lifts his ass up and immediately lets it go back down, not caring for his roughness. His hands trail to the vampire's biceps, holding them for support as he rides the hard cock. The feeling is amazing, having control on how hard the tip hits his g-spot, it is an electrifying sensation jolting through his body.
Law could only moan nonsense as he is fucked to oblivion. The tight hole takes him well, giving a nice pressure around his throbbing dick.
"Shit, you feel fucking amazing," Law moaned through pants, watching Luffy bounce on his thick cock.
Luffy was beginning to lose himself, as his own cock throbbed with pleasure. Each hit to his g-spot drove him crazy, wanting nothing more than to be filled with the vampire's hot seed. His eyes rolled back as his riding became sloppy. Law finally had the strength to take some sort of measure of the situation, using his grip on Luffy's hips to add assistance.
The vampire's hands trail to the human's ass, guiding him to ride his erection. The two match their breathing, loving the good fuck in the secluded room. Just the two of them, fucking to their hearts content. Law couldn't hold back and even through the pain, he bucked his hips up, hitting Luffy's g-spot hard.
"Ah—" Luffy yelps at the sudden force. His body falls forward, but he holds himself up over Law's shoulders. He stops riding him and let's Law fuck him to this own pace— fast.
Law plowed him well, making sure that his abused cock his milked by Luffy's tight ass. It was like a vacuum, the grip impeccable and strong. He feels his core tighten once more, knowing that he is about reach another orgasm. He holds Luffy dear, pulling his hair for their faces to meet. They kiss, moaning in each other's mouths.
Law pulls away for a moment, fastening his face and repeatedly moaning out, "I love you."
"I-I love you too," Luffy manages to say, cum spilling on Law’s chest,
With one more thrust, Law finally came, shooting his hot cum into the beaten hole. The exhausted human falls on top of the other, satisfied with the good fuck.
"I-I'm knocking out," Luffy wines.
Law, who is sucked dry, barely opens his eyes. "You're one to talk," he heaves, trying to clean the white liquid over his abdomen.
Luffy stretches his arm to grab a tissue from the other side of the room and hands it to Law. “Sorry about that, I couldn’t hold it back,” he mumbles, nuzzling his face on the crook of his neck,
Happily, Law embraces the smaller male, trailing his hands over his drowsy face. "Good night Mugi, sleep tight." He kisses his forehead and watches him drift to sleep.
He stays awake, hearing the soothing flicks of the candles in the room. Tomorrow they will depart once again. Another dangerous scheme lies ahead of them, maybe more life threatening than Doflamingo, but's that is future him problem. Right now, all he wants to do is to keep his little human in his arms.
Previously: Trapped in a cage, Kija finally revealed the truth about the island's history and her heritage. For that very reason, Y/n's life is in danger as he plans to sacrifice her for immortality. Buggy managed to find her and are now in a race to obtain the gemstone before Kija.
Part 14: Unleashed
The time is ticking. Obtaining the gemstone is a matter of life or death.
The couple finally make it the cemetery. The ambience is thick and cold. Most importantly, it feels like they're being watch. Could he. . . no, he shouldn't be tracking them. Y/n shook that thought, they're in a graveyard, maybe the spirits are around. Though, she should be able to see them.
"Hello, are you listening to me?"
Buggy waves his hand over her face. "Hello, Earth to Y/n."
Y/n shakes her head and stares right back at the pirate.
"Oh, sorry. . . I was dozing off. . ."
"Seriously? There's no time for that. Anyway, we're here."
They stand in front of the massive gravestone or temple to be exact. Buggy is right, there is no time to space out. Pushing her thoughts in the back of her mind, she walks inside. The place is as dusty as ever, she runs her fingers through the soot that covers the wall. She continues to look around the walls of the room for any signs of the gemstone. Y/n comes across the picture of the cross. It is engraved in and has similar proportions as the one on the necklace.
"Buggy, give me the necklace."
He complies, he digs under his vest and takes it off. She then places the cross over the engraving and presses against the wall. The small section goes in, and clacking sounds are heard as the small temple shakes. An opening underground is revealed.
“Great, another tunnel,” Y/n sighs.
Buggy looks down at the opening, it is dark and the steps are crumbling after years of erosion.
“Is it safe to use?”
“I don’t know, but we have to check it out.” She looks back at him and smiles. “You go first.”
“Why me? Ugh fine.”
He takes a small step and puts his full weight on the old stone. It seems to hold his weight and he takes another step. “Okay, I think we’re fine, but how are we going to see down there?” he says, going further down.
“Damn, you don’t have anything to light the place?”
"Hold on, let me check." Buggy starts to dig in his pockets and finds a small match. "Uh, do you think this will do?" He turns around with an awkward smile.
Y/n sighs, it is better than no light. "I guess that will do."
The pirate goes to the light the match, the little flame didn't do much, but it was enough for them to see each other. "Hold my hand. I don't want to fall," Y/n says, slowly going down the steps. Buggy goes to grab her hand and firmly tightens his grip on her.
Step by step, they make their way down the crumbling staircase. The trip was shorter than expected, but who are they to complain. Once at the bottom of the stairs, they are able to see a small creak of moonlight on the other end of the passageway. How light is able to reach down these depths is odd. Either way it is a sign that whatever their looking for is in that direction.
With the small flame guiding them, they reach the end at are met with a large wooden box. The wood has long been decayed and is decorated with a thick coat of dust. The lock holding it together is barely hanging on. Buggy turns off the match, as the light from a small opening illuminates their view and goes to inspect the strange box. He kicks the lock out of place and opens it. To their surprise, shiny lustrous metal glimmers in the moonlight.
"Gold!" Buggy digs his hands in the treasure box and picks the metal coins in hands, only to let it rain back down. Jewlery and other small artifacts can be found inside. As he continues to scramble inside the box, Y/n tries to look for a gem that best matches the circular ring Kija holds. So far, it appears to be no signs of one, only gold.
That's until Buggy pulls out a small black box buried deep within the rest of the treasure. Inside held a circular amber jewel. The orange gold color glowed brightly. It almost resembles an eye, the dark spot in the middle stared directly back at them.
“This has to be it,” Y/n said, taking the gemstone out of the box.
Without thinking, tears begin to flow down her cheeks.
“Why are you crying?”
Y/n sniffs and holds onto the gem. “Everything I know is a lie,” she whimpers. “Because of this, my family has suffered.”
Buggy cups her face. “What did he do to you?” he asks, running his gloved finger over her cuts and bruises.
“The Abask’s are the ones to blame for everything. Febe wanted to live in peace with the sea kings that once inhabited this island, but Kija’s ancestor did not. So, they plotted my family’s demise and seeked for malicious power.” She turns to him and takes a deep sigh. “He’s the reason my parents are dead. The Ti’s and the sole being of my existence is to serve as a tool for his evil scheme,”— she grits, her body shaking as he clutches the gemstone— “and everyone hates me because they think my family wanted to send the town to ruins.”
Buggy wraps his hand around hers as they hold the precious stone together.
“They’re afraid of me. I’ve been outcasted my whole life for something I wasn’t involved with. . .”— she pauses— “T-they knew Kija was the one behind their deaths and no one bothered to tell me.”
The pirate tightens his grip on her hand. “So what if you are an outcast. We misfits are special,”— he takes the gemstone from her— “we can use this power to avenge your family. To make the people who hurt you pay,” venom laced in his tone.
“What are you inferring?”
Buggy lifts the gem to the moonlight.
“With this, we can rule everything. Take back what’s yours and burn this wretched place to the ground.”
“Burn? Why would I want to do that for?” she questioned.
He sighs and brings his arms down. “When I first got here, I was planning on imprisoning everyone and forcing them to tell me where the treasure is. I was going to bomb this place after I got my hands on it.”
Y/n widden her eyes. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. “That’s absurd. Why would you do that?!”
“Well, I wasn’t planning on killing everyone. . . unless they put up a fight.” He shrugs.
“You were going to kill innocent people?!”
“Eh,” he grunts. “I wouldn’t say innocent.” Buggy approaches her and slowly backs her into the wall. “We freaks have always dealt with the harrassmenf of the normies,” he whispers into her ear. He then moves her hair back and kisses her neck. “You’re just like us. Don’t you want to bring pain to those who belittled you all these years?”
“You’re crazy,” she mumbles.
He only hums in response before running his thumb across her lip. “I’m a pirate. We’re all crazy.”
It wasn’t until that moment that it finally clicked for Y/n. He is a pirate. All pirates are evil, brute, and filled with greed. It’s like a slap on the face, Buggy is just that and she’s only realizing this. How did she get herself tied with this man? Only her inexperience and gullible nature are to blame.
She gulps, staring into his green eyes. This man has the highest bounty in this sea. What did he do to earn that much berries on his head? She knows so little about him, only exposed to his “good” side, who is he really?
“I’ve been deceived,” she whispered.
Buggy’s face suddenly drops. He grabs her jaw, slightly pressing against it. “What do you mean?”
Y/n only stays quiet. Her heart begins to accelerate, that feeling of danger when she first met him leaks through her mind.
“Don’t tell me you're scared. . .” He sounds clearly hurt. He then furrows his brows and harshly squishes her checks, reeling her face towards him. “I’m a pirate, you know what you were getting yourself into. I thought we were on the same track here.”
He’s right. She knew, it was in her face the whole time. How he hurt her in the beginning, the way he treats his crew, even now, he’s causing her pain.
“Y-you’re hurting me,” she whimpers.
Buggy immediately drops his hand. The fear in her eyes say it all. He’s realized what he’s done. She doesn’t need any more damage on her beaten face.
“I’m not one of them.” His hands wrap warping her torso and he leans in for a kiss on the lips. He gently pecks her quivering lips. “You deserve much more. Let me be the one to end your pain.”
"But—"
As they turned to the direction of the stairs. Someone unexpected points a gun right at them. Buggy pulls Y/n behind him and stands up the intruder.
Y/n gasps, “Mr. Abask?!”
The older man walks closer, not moving the gun faced at them.
"I see you found my precious gemstone. Now, kindly hand it over."
Buggy growls at his orders. "I don't follow shit from no one."
Kija fingers make the trigger click. "I really don't care about you clown. Just give me what I want, and you can be on your merry way. I have a jack load of gold, more than what's in that box. What do you say? It's a good bargain, don't you think?"
The pirate clutches on the stone he holds and back at his woman. She grips on his vest, utterly afraid to be traded as a piece of meat. Yes, the gold is a tempting deal, but there is no way he is falling for that trick.
"Gold, you say?" He tilts his head, coming out his defensive position. Y/n is taken aback at his response, but Buggy winks at her. A plan is at its making.
Kija continues to take a couple of steps forward, also seemingly dropping his guard. "You and your crew are free to go. Whatever happens to this island is none of your concern, so what do you say? Do you accept my deal?"
“Very well,” — he turns to her— “I hope there’s no hard feelings. This was just a mere fling.” He then pushes her to the ground, hard enough to where it seems believable.
Buggy begins to walk towards him, holding the gemstone right in front of him. As the two men approach each other, Kija lowers his weapon. Exactly what Buggy was waiting for. He detached his hand and knocks the gun out of Kija’s hold.
“Sike bitch!” He uppercuts him the jaw, knocking him down. He turns around and carries Y/n over his shoulder. “We have to get out of here.”
They somehow made it back up the stairs of the temple, but their troubles were only beginning. At the stop of the stairs awaited the assassin, 15. He too holds them at gunpoint.
"Why the shocking faces? I won't let you ruin my killstreak," the masked man chuckles.
Y/n begins to tremble, her hands gripping the hell out of Buggy's arm. "H-he's the one who killed my parents," she whimpered quietly.
Buggy looked into her tearful eyes and back at the assassin. This is the man who worked with Kija to cause pain to his woman. As he goes to speak, the sound of a trigger behind him makes his blood run cold.
“We got you surrounded. There’s no where to run,” Kija says, walking up the steps.
“Damn,” the pirate mutters. This scenario is not playing for their favor, not to mention the bullets are most likely made of sea stone. Whether he likes it or not, the only wise choice is to surrender.
"Good. Stay where you are." Kija puts the barrel of his gun on Y/n's back, pushing her towards ground level. Buggy grits his teeth as he continues to stand still. The stone he holds is taken away as Kija snatches it out of his hand.
Kija holds Y/n by the nape of her neck. He turns to 15 and gives him a smug look. "Finish him, he'll only get in the way."
"You don't have to tell me twice."
Shots are fired and Buggy somehow manages to dodge them by detaching his body parts. The bullets barely grazed him, but just a small touch could take him out. Angered by the missing shots, 15 leaps over at Buggy and tumbles down the stairs with him.
"Buggy!"
Kija throws her the ground. "Shut it brat."
She weakly gets up and glares at him. Yes, he may have the gemstone in his possession, but the conditions are not right to use them.
“There’s no full moon. The ritual won’t work.”
He only begins to laugh. “I lied.”
“What?”
“Did you really think I was going to leave you all alone back at the warehouse? I knew the pirate was going to find you. It was obvious that you weren’t going to tell me anything, so I waited and followed you guys here.”
He takes out the ring and places the gemstone to complete the amulet. "The moon is not necessary. I only need your blood," he laughs darkly.
"N-no, I won't let you!"
His finger goes to the trigger. "We'll see about that."
There is no way she can dodge that. This is it. Y/n shuts her eyes tight, waiting for her death, but seconds pass by, and nothing happens. "Huh?" She opens her eyes and checks her body, she's still alive. Kija desperately presses on the trigger, but it's jammed. Now this her chance to make it run for it.
Y/n gets up and dashes to the exit of the temple. Kija is quick on his toes and goes to grab her arm, reeling her back inside. She is thrown harshly to the wall, knocking the wind out of her lungs. She gasps for air, but it proves to be difficult. If she doesn't get up in time, Kija will end her life. As she attempts to make another escape, a painful tug is felt on her head.
Kija pulls Y/n by her hair, making her stand on her two feet. He then tightens his fist around her neck and shoves her to the wall. At the same time, he stabs a knife in her abdomen. Y/n hitches at the sudden pain that burns through her flesh. And just like that, he roughly removes the knife.
She slides down the wall and slumps to the floor, blood gushing out of the wound.
"Stupid bitch,” he laughs as he watches her blood drip down his knife. It is finally time to commence his new world. Not wasting any more time, he grabs the amulet and smears the blood over the gem. The blood that soaks the stone sucks in the red liquid. It begins to glow and the engravings on the wall follow after.
The amulet begins to float midair. Bright gold illuminates the inside, making it hard to take in the amount of the light. The large engraved cross on the ceiling of the temple is the last one to lit. As the cross is completely lit, a golden beam shoots the amulet, and a powerful burst of magic unleashes upon them.
"Yes, this is it!" Kija exclaims in glory, raising his hands in the air.
The gemstone reflects the beam back up the ceiling, breaking through the roof. The power that resonates from the stone grows stronger and stronger. The shockwaves grow as well, damaging the foundation of the temple. It can only withstand so much force.
Meanwhile, Buggy fights for his life underneath the temple. 15 has him in a chokehold, squeezing the life out of him. Though, it doesn't last long as Buggy throws him off and grabs the knives from his vest. The assassin is quick on his feet, bouncing back from the throw and he too reaches for his gun.
"It's a bit outdated to use blades. A gun is much more efficient," he snickers.
"You think I give a damn?" Buggy detaches his arms and shoots his blade equipped limbs right at him. 15 fires his gun, Buggy's arms dodge each bullet and continue to fly in his path. "Now die!"
The assassin jumps up to avoid being hit, but Buggy can swiftly change the direction of his limbs course instantly. With that, the knifes penetrate 15's chest. It is a fatal wound. He drops to the ground, gasping for air. Buggy makes his way towards him, reattaching his limbs.
"You will no longer cause her pain. Rot in hell."
The dying man shakes in anger. "I'll see you there clown and I will make sure to torment you till the end of time!"
"We'll see about that."
As 15 takes his last breath, Buggy pivots and hurries up the steps. The whole temple is starting to crumble. "What is this power?" he mutters. Each shockwave that the amulet sends is cracking the walls. If he doesn't get out in time, he'll be buried alive.
He finally reaches to ground level and is met with a bright light. In the middle of the roam, hovers the amulet. Kija is walking towards it. Behind him lays Y/n, she's sitting on a pool of blood.
"Shit, we have to get of here."
As Kija is distracted, Buggy sneaks past him and carefully lifts Y/n from the ground. "Don't worry I got you," he coos. He carries her bridal style, rushing out of the temple. They go to hide in the woods that surround the cemetery, enough to maintain distance from the shockwaves.
"What happened to you? You're bleeding a lot, this isn't good. . . "
Y/n holds her lower right abdomen, she's trying not to freak out as she looks at the amount of blood that stains her hand.
"H-he stabbed me. My blood, he was able to use it to activate the gemstone. W-we have to get it back or else he will kill us all," she says with a faint voice.
"I'll find a way, just don't overdo it. You're losing a lot of blood." Buggy removes the bandana on his head, but it's not big enough to tie it around her torso.
Y/n tries to remove her shirt, but Buggy stops her. "You sure?"
She nods is response. He hesitates to remove it as it would expose her body. They have no choice; it is the only thing available. Best to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. Once it is wrapped over the wound, Y/n goes to grab Buggy's arm.
"Please. . . don't let him get me. Once he kills me, there is nothing that can stop him."
"What do you mean?"
"He'll become immortal."
As Buggy goes to open his mouth a large boom gets their attention. They whip their heads back at the temple, it is no longer standing. A burning inferno takes its place as the ruble is scattered across the graveyard. Kija could not have survived that explosion, but suddenly, someone emerges from the pit of flames. A large beam of light shoots up the sky with an immense power. The sky begins to darken as clouds form around the beaming light.
The wind howls, growing stronger by the second and black clouds cover the area. Lightening begins to flash with thunder following afterwards. A storm like they've never seen before is in the making and the culprit behind all of this, is the unleashed power of the amulet.
Only a small fraction of its power has been used and the amount of damage it’s done is frightening to say the least.
Buggy observes the chaotic scene, wielding the power of the elements is better than he imagined. He stares at Kija, who elevates higher into the air, taking in the glory of the amulet's gift. A smug smile creeps to his face, he will have that power for himself. He was thinking about leaving the islander's alone this time, but circumstances change; afterall, they did hurt his woman.
The question is, how will he retrieve it? Obviously, Kija will put up a fight and it will not be an easy one. Y/n is in a critical condition, he can't just leave her to fend for herself. If only his crew were here.
"Can you stand?" he asks, looking back at her.
Y/n gulps, she understands what Buggy is trying to plot, it seems to be their only option.
"I can try," she whimpers. With the strength she has left, she pushes her torso off the ground, holding her bleeding wound. "Fuck—" she grits. It is painful, but she must pull through.
The pirate gives her a hand and lifts her up the ground. Y/n stands on her two feet, using Buggy's body as support.
"I know this won't be easy, but I need you to get the hell of here," Buggy orders, his green eyes filled with determination.
Y/n only nods in response, she has to conserve her energy."
"Don't worry about me. I'm not going to die so easily,"—he chuckles— "Now go, I'll be with you once I take him down." He bends down to kiss her cheek and nudges her to the woods. He then pivots and heads straight the eye of the storm.
As Buggy runs towards an unknown danger, Y/n takes one last look at Kija. His eyes glow like the sun, though no warmth emits from the light, it feels almost sinister, like a scorching heat that melts everything in its path. Who knows what powers the gemstone holds; she hopes Buggy will be alright. For now, she runs, hoping to stay alive to see another day.

I couldn't resist publishing this now that I have a few chapters under my belt. This story has literally been eating away at my life. Also, trying something new with shorter chapters. I think it makes a story like this more impactful and will honestly probably lead to more frequent updates.

The pirates are getting closer and closer to Dressrosa. They are all anxious to see what awaits them. Law's tales of the tyrant sent shivers down their spine. Can they even defeat monster from hell?
At the moment, Ceaser is tied up to the mast of the Sunny. It was a hassle to detain in him amongst the chaos on Punk Hazard. The battle proved to be worth it as they now have the upper hand in the situation or so they think.
Luffy lounges on the railing of his ship, utterly in love with his vampire. On Punk Hazard, Law made a vow to take down Kaido, an emperor of the sea. The fierce determination in his eyes did something to Luffy, physically and mentally. Since then, he has not been able to keep his eyes off of Law.
He is oblivious to the fact that everyone can see that he is devouring Law with his eyes. Weeks into the journey his mate has put on some weight, more meat on his bones. Maybe him and Law aren't so different when it comes to terms of diet. Losing his trace of thoughts, Nami yells out the sight of the land ahead. They have arrived at their destination.
Law barges out of the Polar Tang and walks to the deck. The ships sail closer together as the pirates come up to prepare to dock.
"Listen up everyone, we are sailing forth into enemy territory. We will face a tyrant like we've never seen before. Do not drop your guard, I'm referring to you, Luffy," he clenches his jaw at the last sentence.
The straw hat gawks at his comment. "I would never."
Nami could only roll her eyes. She knows good and well that Luffy is a walking disaster, spreading havoc wherever he goes. Law should already know that he won't stick to the plan.
“You better control yourself. I mean it," Law says.
Luffy only pouts and slouches against the railing.
The vampire moves on and continues on with his meeting. “Here’s the plan. We will remain undercover as we take Caesar for negotiation. Once that is complete, we will depart immediately. Doflamingo will have face Kaido’s wrath after he fails his portion of their deal,"— he stops and waits for their comprehension— "Everyone understands?"
"Aye-aye captain!" the Heart Pirates scream.
On the other hand, the Straw Hats nod amongst themselves and sighed looking at Luffy. Following the plan step by step will prove to be difficult, but they will try their best.

Skipping over a couple of hours since the landing of Dressrosa, the plan has crumbled.
The Heart Pirates are nowhere to be found and that includes Law. One by one, each member of the Heart Pirates dissappeared. Their captain was the last one standing and he too vanished.
Sanji, Nami, and Chopper managed to keep Ceasar "safe." However, they were sitting ducks after the vampire was out of the picture. They ran across the kingdom, dodging enemies left and right, just trying to survive. Luckily, the Straw Hats managed to find each other.
Reunited at last, Luffy noticed that Law was missing. "Hey, where's Torao?" He looked around for any sign of him. The only people near him are his crew.
Nobody wanted to give him the answer, but someone had to speak up.
"Doflamingo captured him," Jinbe spoke.
The Straw Hats turn to their captain. Luffy's poker face was unsettling to the rest. He turns around and covers his face with his hat. "What do you mean Doflamingo captured him?" A tone of seriousness in his words.
"I-It all happened so fast, we barely managed to escape," Chopper said.
"I want you guys to help the people and the rest to stop the other Donquixote members. I am going alone,”— he pauses— "Actually, Zoro, follow me."
"Wait, are you really going to face Doflamingo?" Usopp jittered.
"I have to save my mate, even if it's the last thing I do." He looks back at his crew with a menacing glare. "Let's go Zoro."
The duo left the rest of the crew behind as they charge to the Royal Palace. Doflamingo must have him trapped in there.

"My, my, look what the trash brought in."
Law finally wakes up from his slumber. He goes to move his arm, but it doesn't budge. He immediately comes out of his daze and opens his eyelids to the man he hates the most. Panics sets in as he trashes around the large throne he sits on.
"Let me go if you know what's good for you," Law declares, gritting his teeth.
Doflamingo lets out a nasty cackle.
"Are you threatening me? Look at you, pathetic," he mocks. The tall man circles around the large red throne, his presence is unnerving enough, having him this close makes Law anxious.
"Are you going to kill me?" he asks.
"Hmm, not yet. A little birdie told me that a cute little guy in a straw hat is your mate. I would love to meet him."
Law growls, "Don't you dare lay your dirty fucking hands on him."
"Oh my, why so aggressive?" The large man nears Law and tilts his head with his index finger. “I only want to meet him. I’m sure he’ll taste much better than you.” He grins, showing his large fangs.
“I won’t let you harm him.”
“We’ll see about that.”
“Over my dead body,” he spits out.
Doflamingo leaps over at him and roughly grabs his face, his fingers tightly pressing his cheeks. "I'd watch that mouth of yours." He releases his grip and dusts off his clothes. "I'll be back to delight you with my company. I have more pesky pirates to capture," he cackles as he walks to the door.
Doflamingo then exits the room. As soon as he does, Luffy comes busting though the windows.
"Luffy-ya!?" Law yells out, utterly surprised to see his mate.
"Torao, are you okay?" Luffy says, relieved to reunite with the vampire. He fixes his clothes and walks over to Law.
"I-I think so," he huffs.
"Okay, I'm getting you out of here."
The vampire helplessly looked up to his human. He has Kikoku strapped behind his back. How did he find it? No clue. Though, he is relieved to see both of his "possessions" safe and sound. Clearing his thoughts away, he realized that Luffy is reaching at his cuffs.
"Wait. Don't touch it, it's made of sea stone."
Luffy already touched it and went limp. "Huhhh—" he slurred. Law rolled his eyes as Luffy became a puddle on the floor. The Straw Hat quickly recovered and angrily looked at the chains. "We will figure something out later." He then picks up the whole chair, with Law on it, and lifts it over his head.
"W-wait what are you doing—"
He drops the chair the floor. It breaks and the chains that bonded the vampire are snapped off.
"Ugh," Law groans in pain.
Luffy picks him up and flies out the window.
"S-stop! Don't be so rash!" the vampire in dismay yells out.
With the power of the Gum-Gum fruit, Luffy swings up the castle while maintainig his hold on Law. Once they make it to the rooftop, Luffy scans the bottom of the city. “Over there!” he points to the commotion. “My crew is there. Let’s go!” As they began their escape on the rooftop, something pulled them back.
"Who says you can leave? Dinner is almost ready," Doflamingo snickered.
"So that's Mingo," Luffy muttered, his gaze not leaving the pink feathered man.
Doflamingo uses the string attached to Luffy to reel him in. "Oh, you didn't tell me that your mate is so beautiful."
He cups the younger's face and moves his head to the side to reveal more of neck. Doflamingo takes a whiff of his scent and begins to salivate. "I wonder how your lovely mate would taste like. Sharing is caring Law," he says exposing his large fangs. He goes to give him a long lick on the neck and playfully pretends to bite him.
"Get off of him!" Law yells out, trying to get from the ground, but fails. The sea stone has immobilized him.
“What? You’re a vampire too?” Luffy questioned, trying not to gag at the saliva on his skin.
“Who do you think turned Law?”
Luffy eyes widen at the revelation. He never thought to ask Law about it, he just assumed he was born one. To think he used to be human.
“Did you want to be become vampire, Torao?” he asks, looking back at his mate.
“No,” Law responds back weakly. “I never did.”
With that, Luffy upper cuts Doflamingo on the jaw and punches him away. “You took away his freedom. I won't let you do that again.”
The tall vampire laughs to himself as he recovers from the attack. He grins, showing off his large fangs, thirsty from the smell of battle. “Law belongs to me, and you will too.” He uses his strings to drag Luffy across the rooftop and slams him against the brick material.
“Luffy-ya!”
Law watched helplessly as his mate is trashed around like a rag doll. The tyrant is insanely strong and his viscous attacks are brutal. He should be the one fighting him, not Luffy, it is his duty as his mate to protect him. Now, he can only watch as he is beaten to a pulp.
“Damn it all!” He slams his head the ground.
“Torao, stop. That won’t help.”
Law picks his head up and turns to the voice, it’s Zoro. He holds a key in his hand and hurried to his side. “Now go and help Luffy. I have other things to worry about.”
Still weaken from the sea stone, Law gets up from the ground. “Thanks Zoro-ya.”
“Okay I’m out of here. Pika is creating havoc.”
Still confused on how the swordsman managed to get him the key, he only nods. Right now, all that matters is assisting his mate to take down Doflamingo. Using the energy he still has; he teleports in front of Doflamingo and grabs Kikoku from Luffy's back, cutting the string attached to him. In that single slash, he hits the tyrant, sending him flying away.
Now, it is a duel between the vampires. Doflamingo will show him no mercy, just like he did his brother, Corazon.
"You were supposed to be the next in line, Law. The next Corazon,"— he gets up— "You're nothing but a traitor. You and that rat will have the same faith." His blood vessels pop from anger as he tightens his fists, nails digging in his palm. Bloods drips from his hand, not caring that he is hurting himself. It reeks of blood lust, from both sides.
"Don't you dare call him that motherfucker!"
Doflamingo grins. There it is.
Law charged at him, aiming at whatever is available to slash. He is furious, nothing but rage fuels him. All that pent up anger and guilt is finally released after all these years. He must avenge Corazon. He must.
"You pathetic bitch. You wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for me."
The younger vampire swung left and then right. "Cora saved me, not you."
He's riled up, perfect. Doflamingo continues his taunt. "My rat of a brother died for nothing. You were never going to make it far in this life. Don't worry, it's going to hurt a lot." He used his sharp claws to fling Kikoku out of Law's hand. Defenseless, Law teleported away from the viscous claw attacks.
His sword is behind the tyrant, he needs it to land a critical hit. Teleporting to the other side will be difficult. Doflamingo knows that he will move to that area and will that the opportunity to cut him open. "Damn," he grits to himself. He must act quick before he is sliced to death. Then an idea came to mind. Instead of teleporting, he dashed to the right, trying to outmaneuver the older vampire.
Doflamingo used his strings to capture Law. He purposely allowed himself to be attached. Doflamingo proceeds to swing him around, just like he did to Luffy. He waited for the right time to retrieve Kikoku as he is swung across the rooftop. Once it is in his hands, he quickly teleports behind the tyrant and goes to slash his back. Unfortunately, the older vampire saw it coming and knocked Kikoku out of his hands. He grabs Law and jumps up to the air.
"I wonder how much this will hurt. Let's find out," he manically laughs as he spreads Law's arms apart and spirals down to the ground.
At the landing, Law's right arm has been torn off. The vampire rolls around in agony, clutching where his limb used to be. The pain in unbearable and his wailing was music to Doflamingo's ears.
Luffy watched in horror as his limb laid splattered on the ground, painting the area red. "Torao!" He runs towards him, but as he does, Doflamingo takes out a gun and fires multiple rounds at Law, killing him.
The Straw Hat froze. Law is not dead.
"Alright let's make this more intersting." With a snap of a finger, the birdcage that surrounded Dressrosa began to move.
"What are you doing?" Luffy quivered, distraught at the sight of his mate.
"Within an hour everything will be sliced to death. Don't worry, you won't be alive much longer to accept that fate."
Angered, Luffy enlarges his fist, filled with haki and lunges towards the tyrant. Doflamingo sends string bullets at him, but Luffy dodges all of them. The two continue to clash, unaware that Law was gathering his last bit of energy.
"Shambles."
In an instant, he appears right in front of Doflamingo, taking him by surprise. He had him. "Gamma Knife!" Using all his might, he penetrates an electrical energy through his chest and, sending powerful shock waves that distorts the insides. Doflamingo stood there, taking in the fatal attack. Soon, he slumps to the ground.
Law too falls over, completely drained.
"Torao!" Luffy calls out. Before he could make it to his side, a small chuckle stopped him in his tracks. "No, Torao defeated you."
Doflamingo giggled and walked over to the fallen man. He picks his foot up and goes to finish Law once and for all. But before he could, someone stopped him.
Using one foot, the Straw Hat prevented Doflamingo from killing his mate. "You'll regret doing that." His fierce eyes glaring right at the tyrant.
"Oh, am I supposed to be afraid of you? Don't make me laugh."
A clash commenced between their conqueror's haki, sending fierce waves of energy throughout the air. "I don't see you laughing," Luffy stated as Doflamingo frowned.
Now using Gear 3, Luffy launches a series of attacks. All which the vampire dodges. He counter-attacks with more of his piercing strings.
The fight begins to drag as Luffy feels himself become worn out. There must be somthing he can do. Of course, he still has another weapon in his armory. Right then and there, Luffy blew on his haki infused arm and unlocked a new gear, Gear 4, the Bounce-Man. Without hesitation, he strikes Doflamingo with a powerful haki punch.
"What is this? A shit show? You can never defeat me with that," Doflamingo snickers.
"We'll see about that."
Stronger than before, Luffy hits are more effective and are able to damage the vampire. It is clear that the tyrant is not enjoying this new transformation. The Straw Hat can only smirk at his realization. Despite the power up, Doflamingo is able to keep up with him and stop his damaging attacks.
They fly into the air as the citizens watch the battle between the Straw Hat pirate and the Warlord. The birdcage is still closing in, seemingly at a rapid pace. Luffy has to stop this.
"Mingo, you will pay for what you did to Torao and everyone!"
The last blow, Luffy charges all of his energy into one attack. "Gum-Gum. . . Leo Bazooka!" With two coiled fists unleashesd, he hits Dolflamingo and sends him flying to the side of a mountain. The powerful blow practically killed the vampire, but to his luck, he managed to survive.
"I'd admit, you almost got me, but you are no match for me," he says getting up from the impact.
Luffy, on the other hand, has been depleted. Gear 4 has taken a toll on his body, there is no way he can fight him now. The people around him were unsure on what to do, after all, he is a wanted pirate. Still, he is fighting to take down that monster that has tormented them for years. They gather around him, cheering him on to finish the fight.
The Straw Hat looks at the surrounding people. So many of their faces scream for hope and freedom. He has to win. His eyes trail to the rooftop of the Royal Palace, he must win for Law as well. Finding energy to transform once more, he activates Gear 4 and clashes with the vampire once again.
"You're up again. You won't be standing for long." He sends various sharp strings at him as they fly across the kingdom.
Luffy continues to send a barrage of attacks, making sure that he felt each connecting hit.
The two seem to be even now as each attack become equal in strength. The vampire was furious, there is no way a mere human should rival his strength.
"I've had enough of you!"
Doflamingo releases a string of web to counter the attack and unleashes large pointy purple strings to pierce the Straw Hat. Knowing he has to give it his all, Luffy inflates his arm to his maximum and charges at the vampire with his King Kong Gun. At first, it only collides with Doflamingo's attack, but that quickly cracks.
The tyrant laughed as Luffy couldn't budge threw it, but he was mistaken. The powerful energy concentrated in Luffy's enlarged fist broke through his string weapon, shattering it. Defensless, Doflamingo could only embrace for impact. So he does, feeling the fist collide with his face, sending him down once again.
Doflamingo was finally defeated. His reign of terror is over.
Luffy returns to his original form and flattens to the ground as the Birdcage is no more. Gear 4 drains his energy compared to the other gears. He closes his eyes and begins to rest before he shoots awake— Law.
He gets up from the ground and flings him up to the rooftop.
Running to his inured mate, he yells, "Torao!"
At the top of the castle, Law was barely hanging. His chopped off arm laid beside him as he bleeds to death. He weakly opened his eyes, small hot tears run down his cheeks, staining his dirty cheek.
"Did we do it? He's gone?" he softly speaks.
Luffy, unware how to react, frantically grabs his unattached limb and tries to place it back. "W-we d-did. . ."
Law coughs and continued to have a labored breathing. "Mugi,”— he grunts— “I love you."
"I-I love you too," Luffy managed to say, his voice shaking. "It's going to be okay. Chopper will be here any second just—"
That's when he noticed Law stopped breathing. No. This was not happening. "Law!" he cried out. He can't die. Not after everything. Doflamingo was defeated. He can finally live in peace. To enjoy his freedom.
"No! You can't die on me! You promised we would take down Kaido and find the One Piece. To see me become the Pirate King."
Luffy shook Law's body, trying to get him to wake up, but nothing. The vampire's body was completely limp.
"No. . . Torao!" he weeped, holding his body.
"Luffy! There you—" Chopper gasps, "Luffy?!"
The reindeer runs to his captain's side. "What happened?"
"H-his arm. . . Mingo sliced it off. . ."
Chopper looked at Luffy hugging the limb. "Quick, we found his crew. I need all the help I can get to reattach his arm and restart his heartbeat."
Luffy nodded.
Chopper immediately removed a large piece from Luffy's shirt and tied around Law's shoulder, cutting off the circulation. Despite having his energy depleted, Luffy channeled his remaining energy to swing him, Chopper, and Law back to the Heart Pirates. It was a matter of life or death.
Huddled in a corner of the plaza, Bepo sees something coming from afar.
He squints his eyes and sees Luffy with Chopper and Law. "Captain! Captain. . ?"
The Heart Pirates surround the Straw Hat and are in shock to find their captain pratically dead.
"Captain!" Bepo sobbed.
"There's no time for crying. We have to reattch his arm and provide an elecrtick shock to his heart," Chopper commanded.
The Heart Pirates locked in, there was no time to waste, their captain's life was on their hands.
Luffy anxiously watched from afar. Chopper is an excellent doctor and Law has trained his crew well. He's in good hands, he'll make it for sure. Still, doubt entered his mind.
"Luffy!"
The Straw Hat whipped his head to the direction of the voice. It was Usopp and the rest of the crew. They all came running at him, even with Ceaser still tied up.
"Guys. . ." He fell on his knees, looking at the ground.
The crew were puzzled at his demeanor. Their captain just defeated Doflamingo, he should be celebrating, not looking so gloom. That's when they noticed the chaos in front of them. It was the Heart Pirates, the hint of stress and Chopper in the midst of things could only mean one thing.
"What's going on?" Zoro asked.
"It's Torao. . . Mingo really hurt him. . ."
Everyone remained silent as they observed the medical team patch the vampire captain. Luffy bit his lip, his hands shaking at the thought of losing his lover. The blood that covered the ground made him sick.
Eventually, the chaotic shuffling seized. Luffy continued to close his eyes, not wanting to see the lifeless body of his mate. Footsteps approach him and he began to pull on his hair, he's not prepared to hear those damning words.
"Luffy, he will be okay," Chopper said, placing his hoove on his shoulder.
"Really?!" Without saying another word, he dashed towards the vampire's side and hugged his sleeping body.
"Woah, be careful Luffy, he's still in a critical condition," Bepo said.
"I know, I know. . . I'm just glad that he will be okay. . ." Then, he too passed out.
"Ah, Luffy!" Chopper cried out.
Everyone went to surround the fallen captains. The Straw Hat laid asleep over his vampire, exhausted from the battle. Their crew simply smiled, they did their duty, it is time for them to rest. After all, they deserve every second of rest together.
Previously: Yasi and Y/n sneak into the warehouse where Buggy is being held. They managed to steal the cell keys from Mr. Dun and make a run for it. What they didn't know was that Kija sent an assassin to get rid of the pirate. As they ran for their lives, Yasi and Buggy are shot. Due to the sea stone bullet, Buggy fell down the hill and dropped to the lagoon. Y/n saved him from drowning and hid him just in time before the assassin arrived. After killing Mr. Dun, the assassin apprehended Y/n.
Part 13- The Truth Revealed
Buggy struggles to move, he's in pain, as if he's been hit by a train. The sea stone bullet is buried deep in his flesh. How could something so small interfere with his powers? If only he could snap his arm off, it would be easier to remove the bullet. He managed to drag his body up against the boulder, using it to rest. Bloods drips down his arm, he’s not used to the sight of blood on himself, it’s shameful.
“Okay, here goes nothing.”
He takes a deep breath and digs his fingers into his wound. Gritting his teeth, he does his best not to scream, the pain is unbearable. With all his might, he pushes through and grabs the bullet with two fingers. It’s slippery and with one pull, he removes it. He flings it across the shore of the lagoon and pants from the stinging pain.
His chest vigorously rises up and down, he’s exhausted. It’s going to take time to recover, not only did he drown, but the sea stone completely drained his energy. Still, he has to get Y/n back. That Abask man will die in his hands for sure.
“Oh, he thinks he can make a fool out of me, but I’ll show him why islanders fear my Jolly Roger,” he cackled to himself. “I’ll burn this whole island to the ground. I had enough of this place.”
The clown hastily stood up and hanged onto the boulder as he was still weak. He had no clue where he was at. The night still has a long way to go, meaning, navigating through the dark woods will prove to be difficult. He then removes his scarf and bandages it around his wound. He’s a fast healer, so it wouldn’t be a problem. The real problem is that he had no idea where Y/n could be at. He’s not dumb, she won’t be at the mansion.
The first thing to do is to retrace his steps and that would mean to climb back up the hill. He exhales deeply, going up the steep hill will be challenging, but what choice does he have. He drags his feet through the small rocks, passing by Mr. Dun's dead body. His death was tragic, but it's not like he didn't have it coming.
As Buggy scaled up the hill, sounds of weeping could be heard. The cries were not too far from where he stands. Intrigued, he follows the sounds. The sobbing increased as he approached a small crevasse, he peaked down and saw Yasi. He lays on his side, hunched over, holding onto his abdomen.
"Hey! Little boy!" he calls out.
Yasi stops his sobbing and looks up the clown. "Buggy?"
"Stop crying and help me find Y/n!"
"Ah geez I wish I could, but I'm seriously injured!"
"Tsk," Buggy huffed and detached his arms. They float down the small crack and make their way to Yasi. He gets a hold of his arms and pulls him up.
He releases his hold and lets him land on the ground.
"Ouch, can't you be gentler?" Yasi groans.
"Stop complaining. I could have left you for dead," he says, reattaching his arms.
"Weren't you the one who asked for my help,"— he hunches over in pain— ". . . fuck. . ."
Bloods stains his shirt and hands.
"Come here, let me see." Buggy nears Yasi and lifts up his shirt to see the wound. It's located on the right side of his abdomen, luckily, it was away from any vital organs. He rips the bottom portion of the younger's shirt and tightly ties it around his waist. "That would do for now, but you did lose a bit of blood."
"Let's go to Lyla's place. She should be able to further assist me."
"What about Y/n?"
"Her husband can provide us a hand on that."
"Ugh, fine." Buggy pivots and starts going up the hill once again but is stopped by a cough. He turns around, visibly annoyed. "What?"
"Little help here," the raven hair says, pointing at his wound. "I can barely walk."
Buggy rolls his eyes and assists him by putting his arm over his shoulders. "Do I have to do everything?"
Finally reaching the top of the hill, they find themselves currently surrounded by guards. "Shit. More of these mother fuckers."
"Buggy the clown, we have a message for you," one of them state.
They take out a transponder snail and replay a message.
“Hello, clown. As you may know I have something very dear to you. I’m afraid I won’t let her go so easily. Nothing will happen to her unless you get me what I want. I demand you to find me her necklace. The thing I need is in a shape of a cross. If you manage to get that to me, she will live. Well then, you have till the full moon.”
“Full moon?! That’s tomorrow," he exclaims.
“That is all.” The message ends as the transponder snail goes to rest. Buggy and Yasi become anxious at the request. The guards retreat and vanish into the dark night.
“Damn, I don’t want to get him the necklace.”
Yasi gripped onto the pirate's arm, reassuring him. “Let’s hurry and go to Lyla’s, we’ll come up with something.”
.°˖✧.°˖✧
The old bag covering Y/n's head was taken off, revealing her whereabouts. It's dark and cold, she goes to touch her surroundings and finds herself in a cage. With the little light in the unknown building, she sees Kija standing in front of the cage.
"Where am I?"
"That's none of your concern," he says taking a step forward, revealing himself.
"You bitch," she spat out.
Kija lunges himself at her and wraps his hands around her throat, smushing her face against the cold bars. “I could honestly kill you; I don’t need fresh blood. You’re only alive because I need that necklace.”
“I guess you really are a murder. Did you kill the Ti’s?”
“Perhaps," he says in an unsure tone.
Y/n knew he wouldn't answer her question, so she changed the subject. "What's so special about my blood? Will it really help you get that power?"
"Ah, so it appears Yasi told you everything. How convenient."
"You know your little assassin shot him, right?"
He smirks. "I don't care. I won't need an heir after I obtain Febe's power."
Angered by his uncaring nature, she clutches the metal bars with her hands. "Power this, Febe that, I don't understand anything!"
Kija finds her little outburst amusing. "Well, I guess since I plan to dispose of you later. You're in your right to know." He takes a couple of steps to the right and drags a chair in front of the cage. He sighs, "Where do I begin. There is so much to tell."
Y/n's raging eyes do not leave his sight. "What's the power you're seeking?"
The older man digs into his pants' pocket and shows a circular object. It appears to be made of gold, with the bad lighting, it is hard to make out what it is. "You see this, it's an ancient amulet." Y/n squints her eyes to get a better looks of it. It is about the size of his palm and has an open center. Around the edges are engravings that depict an old language. "The amulet is strange as you see, that's because it is missing an important piece. . . a gemstone."
Y/n gasps mentally. The woman in her weird dream talked about a gem. Could it be the same one that he is talking about?
"It belongs right in the center of this ring. That gemstone is all I need to commence my plans and there is one thing stopping me, that pretty cross of yours." He puts away the gold ring. "In the books passed down by Febe's descendants, a particular cross is said to be the key to unlock the gemstone's location. Though, there are missing pages to the book and the exact area to find it is unknown. I am sure you know where it's at."
Y/n tries not to panic as a moment of realization hits her. The temple. Febe must have hidden it in her burial grounds. The hidden room inside her shrine contains the exact writing on the amulet and most importantly, the drawing of a cross is a match with the cross he speaks of. She swallows hard before speaking. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she mutters.
"Are you sure? That look on your face says otherwise."
This man in determined to get an answer out of her. She quickly escapes the question. "How does a gem give you power?"
Kija rolls his eyes and sighs in annoyance, nevertheless, he complies with her question. "Legend states that the sea kings that once lived around these seas formulated the gemstone. The exact cause of its creation is unknown.
You see my dear, Febe, is a long ancestor of yours. She alongside my ancestor, Lionel, were on a voyage when suddenly, a strange storm capsized their ship. The majestic sea kings saved them both and took them to this island.
There, Febe came across a cove where the sea kings resided in. They were fond of her once she helped their sick young. With time, the sea kings gifted her the amulet and she held a power that could transform the entire landscape to her liking. This piece allowed her to make the land fertile and full of life as it provided control over the elements.
The two departed the island to retrieve their families and create a new home. The sea kings became violent at the sudden appearance of humans. Our people could not return to their homeland as the land was no longer suitable for life. Lionel thought we should kill the sea kings as the beasts continuously destroyed the vegetation of the island. Those sea kings turned into savage beasts and began to kill all life forms on the island.
Febe did not want to kill them, and a fight broke between them. My ancestor was foolish to be beneath a woman. A pact was made between our people and sea kings, but they continuously caused havoc on the settlement. Lionel got tired of the sea kings as deaths would pile on the shores. So, he stole the amulet from Febe and used to counter the attacks of the beast, but he lost to that stupid woman, dying from the fight to obtain the gem's power."
Y/n didn't know if she should be fascinated by his story, for all she knows, he could be lying.
He continues, “Febe hid the amulet before anyone else could use it and left her descants as guardians of it. The Kisha’s remained in power while the Abasks were cast away in the slums as the sea king's wrath worsen from the incident. From that day, we Abasks would rue the day we got our hands on that power and rule this pathetic island that was rightfully ours. So, they did. We reminded everyone the danger behind the sea kings and the idiotic morals of the Kisha's were putting them in danger. With the death of multiple children, everyone had enough and revolted against the Kisha's rule. The Abasks finally rose to power and got rid of those beasts once and for all. However, the amulet was nowhere to be seen."
I want to obtain that power for myself. To rule not only this island, but the whole world in my very image. Everyone will bow down to me, like my ancestor should have."
Astonished, Y/n did not speak for a while. Only then did she decided to break the silence. "Okay, what does that have to do with me?"
"As a descendant, you carry her blood through your vessels. Her DNA is the key to activate it. Though, the power to control the elements is nice, but there is something else I truly seek. Legend states that when the soul of a Kisha is bound the gemstone, the gift of immortality is given to the wearer."
"By soul you don't mean-"
"You dear, will be a sacrifice for the betterment of the world."
This is insane, is there such a power? Devil fruits exist, but you still can’t believe it.
"Of course your father never agreed to it."
"My father? What role does he play with all of this nonsense?"
"The Kisha's lived in the shadows, forgotten by the islanders. But I always knew they never left, and I figured out your father's secret. I offered him a place on the throne, along my side, but he refused. All he had to do was sacrifice his daughter, but oh it was too wicked to do such a thing. I don’t understand, you can always make another child," he manically laughs.
He recovers, taking in a couple of breaths before composing himself. "Only a female can access such power, that's why you're important. Your dear father was ready to escape with his pathetic family, but I made sure to cease him.” A devious smile is plastered on his face. "So, I made sure he was out of the picture. I sent my lovely assassin to kill your parents."
Y/n audibly gasps. All this time, she thought her father killed her mother and did offed himself. Not the mention the rumor that Mr. Dun was involved in their death.
"The truth was released to the islanders and with the Kisha's horrible past, they were afraid of you. That came to show when your gifts flourished, didn't they? The sea kings oh so loved the Kisha's and gave them powers to maintain their survival," he scoffs at the last word. "Everyone wanted to kill you, ya know. But the Ti's were oh so kind to take you in. So, I made a pact with them, to suppress your powers and hush about your parent's death. I needed you alive until the time came to find the gemstone."
"So, they all knew you killed them?"
"I wouldn't put it that way. More like, influenced the digging of their grave," he chuckles. "My family's propaganda has caused a mass hysteria against the Kisha's for centuries. It's no surprise they all agreed to keep their mouths shut."
This whole situation is fucked up. Everyone let this injustice happen before their eyes and became threaten from an innocent little girl.
Kija crouches down to her eye level and forcefully tugs on your hair. "Listen brat, we will get that cross, one way or another. So, speak!"
Y/n bite his hand, making him release his hold on her at once.
"I won't tell you shit."
Kija wiggles his hand in pain. "You bitch! I'll make you pay!" He goes to open the cage door and attacks her. He beats her till her face was puffy. Blood oozes from the large scar on the side of her head. Everything stings, the burning sensation on her skin is almost as if the sun kissed her. Despite the powerful blows, Y/n kept her mouth shut. No one will know about the true location of the necklace.
"You know what, you're strong, I give you that. But. . . I'm wasting my time with you. A little bit more and you're dead, we can't have that. I'll come back later when you're ready to talk. I'm sure you wouldn't like to start round two."
The man finally left. The torture has stopped for now. Alone, all Y/n could do was cry in her cage.

“Hello sister-in-law!” Buggy shouts with his hands wide open, dropping Yasi to the floor.
Lyla and Walo wanted to slam the door on him, but Yasi clearly needs help. "Oh. . . hello. . ." Lyla awkwardly waves at him. Walo kneels down to pick up Yasi. "What happened to you?"
Yasi only groans in pain as he hunches over.
"Oh, this isn't good. Quick, set him on the couch," Lyla ordered to her husband.
As the two helped Yasi to the couch, Buggy made himself at home and started to explore the fridge. He finds a half-bitten sandwich, it may not be much, but he is starving. Anything will help replenish his energy.
Walo looks over the pirate, taking caution. "So, you're dating my sister-in-law?"
"Yeah, got a problem with it?" he says with sass.
"Uh, no. . . not at all. Just, surprised."
Buggy takes another bite of the sandwich and speaks with his mouth full, "Well surprise."
Lyla comes to the kitchen after stabilizing Yasi's wound. "Walo be nice to our guest. He has not done anything to us and is clearly the best option to get back my sister."
Walo sighs, "Yes, you're right,"— he turns to the pirate— "I apologize."
"There's no hard feelings man. I just want to get her back. Yasi here told me you could assist us." He then proceeds to take another bite of the sandwich and finishes the snack. "Though, I have a plan, but I need my freaks.”
Walo thinks for a second and widen his eyes. “I think I may know where you can locate them at.”
"Okay, tell me."
"I was trying to scavenge for information about everything that's going on. I've talked to one of my coworkers, clearly, there is something happening near the slaughterhouses of his farms. I'm sure he is trying to kill the pirates efficiently and secretly."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Positive."
"Okay then, any clue where Y/n could be at?"
"Hmmm, there is another warehouse that Kija keeps vacant. Not many know about it." Walo then pulls out a small map and spreads it over the table. "Here." He points at the location. "Check this one, I'm sure she must be there."
"My pirates are tough; they can handle themselves. I'll go retrieve Y/n first."
"Thank you, I'm really worried about her," Lyla said.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure she's back in one piece."
Buggy takes the map and pivots to the door.
"Wait, I must go with you," Yasi called after him. He tries to get up from the couch but is held back from the sharp pain in his abdomen.
“Sorry Yasi, but you can’t go with that injury.”
“Sucks for you brat,” the pirate chuckled.
Yasi lays back down and makes direct eye contact with the older man. “Remember, don’t give my father the necklace.”
Buggy only smirks. “I’m not planning on it.” With that, he runs out the door.
.°˖✧.°˖✧
By a miracle, Buggy finally finds her location. It is surprising that there is no one around, they must be confident that nobody would find you, fools.
The tall windows of the warehouse show a small amount of moonlight. The place is dimly lit, but it is enough to move around. He walks down the large area and spots a crate at a corner. Something moves, he approaches it and sure enough, it is Y/n. Buggy grits his teeth seeing you lock up like a true freak. Of course, the cruel man that he is, he has done the same with others; however, it pains him to see you take the position instead.
"Y/n, I'm here!"
Y/n lifts her head up and jumps up from her curled position. "Buggy!" she yells in delight. Tears run down her cheeks as she pokes her head through the metal bars. She grips on the rusty bars, wishing she could pry them open.
Buggy kneels down and cusps her face. His gloved hands clean the salty tears from her face. The awkward position makes it difficult to touch Y/n, so he detaches his hands to further caress her body.
"They didn't hurt you, did they?" he asks with a serious expression. He pulls your head closer to the light. His worried eyes search for any cuts or bruises and sure enough, your face has been damaged. He grits once more, angered that they dared harm his lover.
"What did they do to you?"
Y/n's lips tremble. "Th-they-" she could barely manage to let a single word before she began sobbing. It is obvious that torture was involved. "Get me out of here," she sobbed out.
"I will," he voiced with determination.
The pirate looks around for something to break the lock on the cell door. There wasn't much to work with, the place is vacant. At the other corner of the warehouse, lied various construction tools. To his luck, a sledgehammer sat on top of the pile.
"Bingo." He scurries to the tool and brings it back to the other side, breaking the lock.
It's to his surprise that she didn't jump out right away, instead, she continued to sulk inside. "Y/n, you can come out now," he says gently. She raises her head up to look into his eyes, fear is what he sees. "Come on, I got you." He carefully scoops her worn out body and holds her close. She buries her face in the crook of neck as her hot tears flow down his skin.
"I'm scared."
"I'm here with you, there is no need to be afraid," he whispers out.
"You don't understand. . . everyone wants me dead."
"Who's everyone?"
"The people on this island. They hate me."
"I don't understand. Why would they hate you?"
"I'm a Kisha, Buggy, descendant of the island's founder. Everyone is afraid of the Kisha's. The Abasks have eliminated every single member of the family, I am next."
Buggy is too astonished to speak.
"They all knew who killed my parents. All of them,"— she cries out— "I've never felt so betrayed in my life."
Betrayal. Buggy knows that feeling too well and here you are, experiencing that same thing. His blood begins to boil as past memories flood his mind. It's been decided. He will bomb the island until all that's left are ashes.
"Shhh, it's okay," he coos, caressing her head. "I'll take you away from this hell hole once we stop Kija. I promise."
Y/n slowly nods, tightening her grip on her man, all she seeks now is his comfort. Buggy pecks her forehead. They must leave at once before they're discovered.
"Stay strong, I have a plan up my sleeve."
Before he took a step, Y/n uses all her force to grip his arm, stopping him in his tracks. "Wait," she huffs out. Buggy raises a brow, wondering where she is getting her energy from. "We-we have to hurry-"— she sniffs— "take me to the cemetery. We have to beat him there." Her eyes shift up, a look of fiery determination catches his attention.
"Very well. My plan still stands. Let's go then." His freaks will have to wait, he will not let Kija get his way.
