Bound to be plucked

Chapter 2

"Now now, don't look at me like that~ I didn't even do anything geez~" she said, making him glare more.

"What the hell just happened?!" Kid, on the background, yelled, but was still ignored in favour of the one sided confrontation.

"What do you.... Mean?!" Kizaru struggled to breath as he tried to stand up, but to no avail, his body felt even more weaker.

He gritted his teeth, before he finally compromised what exactly was pressuring him.

HAKI

He looked over at Luffy, expecting her to be the one who committed this deed.

"Hahahahaha!" A laugh followed behind the curtains of the stage, making all heads focus on the source.

"Oi! I'm asking a question here damnit!" Kid yelled once more. But as usual, no one payed attention to the idiot.

Sans Luffy, who was already fully aware of what happened and who did it.

"My my, youngsters really are indifferent from the old days" There soon came out an old looking man wearing round eye glasses with a scar on his right eye. His hair was also white and he was drinking on a flask.

Kidd's eyebrows quirked, "Who the hell are you?!" He yelled.

Law tilted his head, partially knowing this unique character. He spoke in a low voice, "Dark King Rayleigh..."

Apparently, Kidd had also heard that, even though he was a few feet away from him.

"Huh?! That's the Dark King?!" Ignored.

Luffy sighed, dramatically placing a hand on her forehead and sooth her forehead. She then looked at Kizaru who was now disabled to do anything other than talk.

"Dark King... Rayleigh!" Kizaru yelled as he tried and failed to stand up. Luffy stared down at Kizaru, then back to her old time friend, Rayleigh, then the two supernovas.

"Now now... I don't feel like fighting today Admiral, but I do want to turn you in unconscious". Rayleigh stated as he once again drinker in his flask.

"You! Do you not know that the whole Marines are coming here?!" He yelled, before Luffy interrupted him.

"Oh, you mean these guys?" She said as she pointed to the knocked up, unconscious, bruised and beaten up piles of Marines.

Kizaru gritted his teeth.

"What the fuck?! Since when the fuck did she beat them up?! I didn't even see her move and inch!!" Kidd rambled on the side, finally accepting he was ignored and not part of this curriculum.

Law, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes at her. He had been watching her this whole time, yet he didn't see her make a subtle act of violence.

He knew she despised and hated the Marines with an unwavering passion, but to act violence against them while in the presence of an Admiral.... Is certainly a mystery he would not dare go in.

She grinned, staring at Kizaru with a violent appearance of sadism in her eyes.

He had never feared losing his life before, but now that he stared at this enigmatic foe or friend, he values his life more than he ever thought he would.

——————————

In the end, they managed to escape, well, Luffy cared less of them when she was torturing the Admiral.

But ofcourse, she did give them a warning, saying that when they meet, they should be prepared cause she's not letting them go.

He was prepared to say that he survived an encounter with her, but even though he had his pride, he had some manners when he knew who he was advising to.

And because of that moral of him, Kidd ventured into the New World, where he swore to himself to get stronger, and by the time comes, he would be able to stand side by side by that Black Cat.

After all, no matter how nice and innocent she looks, she is still a sleeping dragon. And he is just one of her snacks once she wakes up.

And he'd be damned if he only resorted to being her snack, he'd become stronger, to be able to be atleast, one of her mutual matches.

————————

He almost forgot.

He almost did.

But he didn't.

He was just a pawn, a moving, little, creature in her eyes. But then again, he didn't forget.

The words.

Those words.

Words.

Words that had saved him. Saved him from the post apocalyptic hell.

He knew who said those words, but they never gave any name.

But then again, he never forgot.

And if Law wanted to survive, then he'd have to do as that person says.

It's kill or be killed...

So he took a deep breath, closing his eyes, breathing for a few seconds before he let out a breath the same time as he opened his eyes.

It's nearing....

The shake of hell.
