Chapter 26 - Danger
She ran as fast as she could down the corridors of the part of the Colosseum that hid the fighters away from the curious eyes of the others. The break will end in a short while and she started to worry for Ace. She wasn't going to lose Ace a second time.
The warriors looked at her confused as they saw her trying to get past them. She knew it was a stupid idea to come all the way here, without even trying to hide herself. She had no time left. She found herself lost after two turns. "You're so stupid!" She yelled at herself.
The worst part about it was that she was in an unknown territory. This was Doflamingo's Kingdom. He wasn't a Shichibukai anymore but she was sure that he still had wrapped around his fingers some higher-ups. He could easily throw her in Impel Down in a blink of an eye... Or even worse.
She couldn't afford doing selfless and thoughtless actions. She was a mother now and she couldn't leave Kou just for something stupid. She couldn't leave Ace after everything they've been through. She was still in shock of his presence. She still didn't understood fully that he was back, alive and well. Well, almost.
His scar wasn't healed from what she saw. His scars were probably still hurting. He was still unable to fight. As if that isn't bad, now there are two Mera Mera no Mi's and no one could explain that. Either you have ate it or you didn't. There's no such thing as two devil fruits of the same kind. It's unheard of.
Either that, or that devil fruit is a lie. It's a fake. It's just a trap. A trap for Luffy or anyone who was dear to Ace. She heard the rumors around. She heard them all. Of what Doflamingo can do. Of what Doflamingo is capable of. She was lying if she said she wasn't a little scared of what he can do. The toys... The toys were way too human in her eyes.

The trio couldn't believe that they finally did it. They finally fulfilled their promise. They're finally back. It's been a long time since they were able to stand all three next to each other. It brought back memories for sure. But unfortunately, they didn't had much time left.
"I have reasons to believe that Devil Fruit is the real deal." Ace said. Sabo tilted his head in confusion. "But I thought you had your powers." Sabo said. "Two years ago, when I was about to die, I was saved by this old lady. The trade was simple. Give up my devil fruit powers for another chance. Any sane person would've done it. But something went wrong. I still had devil fruit powers."
"My devil fruit power tried to rebel against hers. It was because a part of me was still alive." Ace finished explaining. Luffy and Sabo were looking at Ace with so much confusion that their heads hurt. "Yeah, I know it's sounds a little crazy, but that's just the surface, believe me." Ace sighed as his hand went through his hair.
"So, what you're saying is that..." Sabo tried to finish the sentence, but Ace finished it for him. "That devil fruit might actually be the same devil fruit as mine." Luffy was quiet. He didn't really understood everything but the one thing he did however was the fact that they needed to get their hands on that fruit no matter what.
"Luffy-senpai." Bartolomeo spoke up, reminding Luffy about a certain little detail he forgot about. "My nakama are in danger." He said immediately as he remembered. His two brothers looked at him. "I have to go and help them." Luffy finished with a little regret being found in his tone. "What happened?" Ace asked a little worried. "Doflamingo..." Sabo let out a small growl. "He's bad news. His plan probably works just perfectly." Sabo said under his breath.
"I have an idea. Here's the plan."

As she ran down the corridors of the Colosseum, she didn't expect to bump into something, in this case, someone. As the two of them fell on the floor, she immediately recognized the person once she took a look at his face.
It was Luffy.
"Luffy!" She exclaimed as she hugged him. Luffy was still a little confused but immediately recognized her by her voice. "(Name)?" She nod. "What are you doing here?" He asked. She just shrugged and smiled at him. "Did you seen him?" She asked with excitement. "Who?" For a second she thought that Ace wasn't able to find Luffy but then she realized that maybe Luffy didn't met just Ace there.
"Ace, Sabo." She replied. She looked at Luffy and realized he was in a hurry. A huge grin appeared on his face at the name of his two brothers. "What's going then?" She asked. "My nakama..." That's all she needed to get the message. She gave him a small nod, telling him to go. He waved at her as he ran past her.
If Luffy was here, that meant that Ace and Sabo weren't far away either. But as she stood up from the ground, a shadow came over her. She didn't even had time to realize what was going on before the figure behind her knocked her unconscious.

Ok so I have no idea where this story is going lol. It's out of my reach now. Something had to happen or else it would've been anticlimactic. I still haven't seen Dressrosa so I have no idea what's going to happen. I have to watch it. Pray for me.
However, I have read the manga and we're finally at the wedding! I can't believe it went so fast. I KNEW PUDDING WAS BAD FOR A REASON.
My Harry Potter love is so strong I accidentally wrote Azkaban instead of Impel Down. :3 i'm proud.
