Ace's, Jimbei's, and the other prisoners eyes widened while Crocodile's face was expressionless. The shocked silence was soon interrupted by laughter from the other prisoners.

"HAHAHAHA! Who knew the famous Silver Blood was just an idiot!"

"Pfft! Nakama?! Such utter bullshit! Who needs that?!"

"Hey! What happened to that plan of yours Silver Blood?!"

You ignored them, and tried to make out Ace's face through your blurry vision. His face seemed frozen with jaw slacked like that.

"Are you serious?" Another person in Ace's cell commented.

You tilted your head. It looked like a big blue blob with sharp teeth and hair.

"Errr...sorry, can't really see cause of the poison. Who are you?" Jimbei stated his name and why he was here, which you just nodded at. Ace then restated to what you said. You gave a fake thoughtful look.

"Oh did I say 'I'm'? I actually meant 'We're going to get rescued.' You're not going to die anytime soon Ace, don't you worry. And the person will be none other then Luffy." Ace widened his eyes as Crocodile muttered out "Mugiwara?" and looked over at you with a raised brow. Everyone was trying to see if you were lying, or just spouting nonsense cause of the poison.

You weren't. You were actually serious.

"What...?! How do you even know?" Ace demanded with wide eyes, not caring how his voice was slowly getting hoarse at how he's been abusing it.

"I just do." You replied, causing Ace to start to lose his patience as he yelled at you on how exactly you knew.

You gave a slight frown, as you contemplated what to say.

"I told you Ace." You said, looking at him from the corner of your eye,"I just do."

Crocodile then had to make a comment of observation.

"Silver Blood, you're gambling on the Straw Hat once again are you? You don't actually know." You muttered out a curse at his observation but said nothing. Ace was shocked, couldn't believe that his friend took such a huge and ridiculous gamble in risk of her life.

"Are you an IDIOT?!" Ace yelled with wide angry eyes. You think one of his veins was going to pop, you observed with a straight face. Ace then went on to say it would impossible for his brother to come to Impel Down, even if it would be something he would do, it's impossible. You were quiet the whole time as you let Ace rant towards you, letting him call you an idiot, insane woman. Telling you at what your little gamble did to you.

"I barely recognized you (Y/N)! All that blood, those cuts, even poison just for a gamble?! They treated you more harshly then they did myself! Why (Y/N)? WHY?!"

You were quiet for a moment, as you looked at him with thoughtful eyes.

"For your observation, they treat me like this cause I am a traitor." You said this with no regret or sadness in your voice. "Marines don't take kindly to traitors. If they still have Minotaurus patrol around here like they did back then, it'll beat me till to an inch of my life." Ace bristled at this information, while Crocodile took a quick glance to your already bloody and beat form. "It'll keep on doing it, just because of my existence. Not only am I traitor Ace, I'm the daughter of the famous blacksmith of Roger's ship, Silver of the Molten Metal." Ace closed his eyes tightly with this information, visibly pained. "I don't normally take such risky gambles, you know this. I like to play it safe. But, if it's for a friend, I'll throw everything away. I came here knowing all this." You coughed again here, your eyes closed in pain as you hunched over.

Ace looked at you with disbelief in his eyes, Jimbei seeming to look at the woman in a new light, Crocodile being the only one that hasn't had a dramatic change of expression. You looked up at the once Warlord with a shaky smirk.

"Heh...sorry Croc if I might get my blood everywhere." You joked, Crocodile's smirk widened. "It needed a paint job anyway." You wanted to laugh, but only managed a breathy chuckle. "As I was saying, I also wouldn't come here if I wasn't positive about something. And if there is one thing that I know, Ace, is that I can proudly say with no regret or hesitation. Is that that kid, Straw Hat Luffy—will do anything to save you. He's the kind that would save his friends, even if he dies from protecting them. The kind where he just trembles in excitement for the next adventure." You rose your head to look at him through hazy eyes, but managed to hold a confident edge to them as you seemed to look through Ace.

"He would accept people's differences in a heartbeat. But would kick anyone's ass if he sees something that isn't right. He's the most idiotic, reckless, insane, simpleminded, naive, and gluttonous person I know." You smirked. "And that's why he'll become the Pirate King."

Absolute silence, as all looked at you with wide eyes. Even Crocodile tightened his hold on his hook. Clearly they didn't expect that from your mouth. It was at that moment, you were suddenly tired.

"Mmm...'m sleepy." You knocked out, and that's when all hell broke loose within the Eternal Hell.

Guys...I'm nervous. I'm moving into my dorm of my college tomorrow and I'm feeling all sorts of feelings that I just don't which one is which.

I've reached a new milestone in my life. And I'm terrified. But giddy. Nervous. Yet shaking with adrenaline.

But guys, since I'm adjusting to this new life of mine, I apologize if there is a lack of updates. There might be a chance at one point where I have to put it in Hiatus.

Hopefully it won't come to that, but there's a chance.

Anyways. ^_^ Thank you guys for being with me and sharing your enthusiasm with this story.

May more updates to come.

ANYWAYS!!! XD

Don't be surprised if you suddenly knock out for the next few chapters.

Your injuries are quite severe.

The poison certainly slowing them down from healing, as well as adding intense pain.

But, this chapter was awesome wasn't it?

I sure hope so.
