Venus glanced over at them as she watched them groan on the floor before smirking a bit. "You really are all weak. Makes me feel almost sorry for all of you." She spoke. Walking away a bit before turning to fully glance at them. "I should torment all of you at once and do much worse."
Drogo scoffed as he got up before glancing at Victoria. "Make her listen to me again."
"It might not work that way-." Zion spoke before falling unconscious.
Venus lifted her hand up halfway before making a fist as Victoria fell to the floor unconscious beside Zion. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." She spoke. "I am feeling more... adventurous." She worded it.
Drogo glared at her. "Kill this pathetic excuse of a pirate crew."
"Of course." Venus spoke as she went back to following his orders. Rasing the sword she held before charging at them. Having seen how they wouldn't attack her back.
Slashing down at them as Zoro blocked the hit before being moved back by her. Trying to dig his feet onto the deck and making a bit of damage to it. "Venus. Listen to me. You are the love of my life."
"I think you're lying and just trying to find someone who can stand you." Venus spoke boldly. Turning away from him as she faced the others. "I see all of you as liars." Making the two she had made unconscious regain consciousness again.
Drogo listened before he laughed. Getting up and laughing more. "Oh please. The last thing you'll do is die by my hand."
"You promised you wouldn't!" Victoria spoke as she had rose back to her feet again.
"We had a deal!" Zion added as he got off the floor with Victoria's help.
"People lie." Drogo spoke. "And I'm not a good person. You lied about her following my commands. The price is your lives."
"I didn't lie." Victoria spoke. "I don't know what is going on."
Venus listened to them as she didn't show much emotion to what they were saying. "Are we going to do this or are all of you just going to complain all day?" She asked.
Zoro groaned as he didn't want to give up on her. Getting up despite the sore feelings he was having from their fight. Having a bit of a stumble as he walked forwards.
"You again?" Venus asked as she laughed. "You are desperate to die but if that's what you want-."
Zoro interrupted her. "No, it's not. Your parents wouldn't have wanted you to be this way."
"You don't know what you're talking about." Venus spoke as her smile dropped.
"I know that they changed to make a better life for themselves and their little girl. That they would make small bond fires for her and their people." Zoro spoke.
Venus lightly held a hand to her head a bit. Listening to him speak. "Shut up!" She spoke up.
The ship began to shake with the waves that had began to form and crash against the side harshly.
"Venus, you are the kindest person I know. You brought the crew together when we couldn't stand one another." Nami spoke up.
Zoro held his hand out to her. "Let's go home." He spoke softly.
Venus glanced at him as she kept a hand on her head. Her eyes being watery as tears slid down her cheeks. Being confused as she tried to wipe them away. "What are you doing to me?"
"It's not us." Sanji spoke as he noticed. "It's all up to you now."
Venus listened to them as she couldn't stop the tears. "No. You're just trying to get to my head. All of you are! Just leave me alone!" Slapping Zoro's hand away from her. Holding her head with both hands and tried to ignore them.
"I love you Venus." Zoro spoke. "And I'm not going to give up on you now more than ever." He held his ground despite being worn out by her attacks on them.
Venus huffed before a strong wind filled the area at the moment.
Luffy got up as he gathered his breath. "Do you think she's fighting it?" He asked out loud.
"She is." Victoria spoke. "I've seen this before from my Captain."
"You mean Drogo?" Nami asked coldly.
"No. I mean my Captain. Captain Clovis Crawford." Victoria spoke. Removing the pirate hat that the Black Rose Corsairs wore. Rolling her sleeve up to reveal a large forearm tattoo of a red dragon. "I am a Bloodsail Pirate. Just like Venus and Zion."
Zion showed his arm as well. "My brother was strong enough to break her ability before he gained control of his own abilities."
Luffy listened before he grinned a bit. Glancing at them before glancing back at the others at the moment.
Drogo hissed at the moment. Getting up before grabbing a sword nearby and silently creeping behind her. Ready to stab her at the moment.
"Watch out!" Luffy yelled at her.
Zion immediately tried to provide protection for the female as he noticed thanks to Luffy's warning.
Venus listened as she watched before feeling something inside of her snap. Rushing past the crew before jumping as she landed on the deck above. Embracing Victoria a bit to shield her.
Victoria gasped at the moment as she felt the hug before being met with Drogo and his cold stare. "V..enus.." She let out in disbelief.
"I.. made it.. on time.." Venus spoke after a moment of silence. "I'm.. glad." She added before collapsing.
Zion was shocked as he panicked. Losing the last of his brother was the last thing he had ever wanted to have happen to them.
Victoria fell to her knees holding her. Her eyes growing watery as she shook her head. "Why? Why would you do that?! I don't deserve your kindness and forgiveness for what I've done."
Venus took small breathes as she shook her head. "I will always forgive you and Uncle Zion. You saved me before. It was my turn to.. do the same." She did her best to speak. "I know you were just trying to keep me safe."
"You're hurt because of me." Zion replied hurt.
Venus lightly let out a small breath. "I've survived worse.." She mumbled. Taking a moment to gather her thoughts and air. "I won't let myself get taken down until I kill him. He has to die and it has to be by my own hand." She spoke. Getting up slowly once she felt ready before noticing what she was wearing.
Rubbing her hand as she didn't like the small headache she felt. Rubbing her neck before jumping down. Walking to Zoro.
Zoro noticed as he immediately hugged her. Having felt hopeless that she wouldn't be returning back to him.
Venus immediately hugged him back as she inhaled his scent before pulling away. "Take yourselves back to the merry with everyone else." She spoke as she took her sword back.
"No. We are in this together. We fight him as a crew." Zoro spoke.
"This isn't a fight for you." Venus spoke.
"We can help!" Sanji spoke up.
"This is part of her dream." Luffy spoke up from behind them. All eyes turned to Luffy when he spoke.
"Luffy, you know what happened to Zoro when he followed that advice." Nami spoke up. "He almost died."
"And you almost took me out." Venus spoke. Feeling them turning to face her. "You had your reasons. He killed family. Burned my home to the ground. My friends and family were snatched from me by him. I can't let him get away from this."
"Venus." Zoro spoke as he was in agreement with Nami.
Venus gave a small apologetic smile. "I had fun with our adventures. Happy to have a found a home in all of you and the memories that we made."
"No." Nami spoke up as she shook her head. Grabbing her hands. "Don't you dare say goodbye."
"It is fate, Nami.." Venus spoke before letting go and stepping back. "Make the best map the world has seen. Make the best foods Sanji. You're the bravest person I know Usopp, you just have to find it in yourself. Luffy, I know that you will make the best king the world has known." She spoke. Raising her hand before lifting them off their feet. Setting them on the sandy beach. "Victoria and Uncle Zion, thank you for caring for me." She spoke.
Zion tried to run back to her. "No! No I'm not going through this again with you Venus!"
Zoro tried to run back to the ship as well once she set him down before being unable to access the ship. His hands coming in contact with something blocking the way as a barrier was placed up by her.
"Zoro, I-."
"Venus, don't!" Zoro yelled as he banged on the barrier.
Venus lightly glanced away before glancing back. "Thank you Zoro!" She spoke up. "You have made me the happiest girl in this bizzare world!" Taking a moment. "Take care of the crew well Roronoa." She smiled before facing Drogo once and for all.
