You began to stir once again when you heard loud voices. Not just that...scissors? What's that cutting sound...? And why the heck is it starting to smell funny? Wait...you recognize one of those voices.

"If I gave up...I'd regret it forever! I'm going!" A familiar young voice proclaimed loudly within Level 6.

'Luffy! Stupid body, open your eyes!' You did, slowly as you tried to turn your head towards three forms outside the cage as Crocodile spoke up. While Luffy reacted dramatically, saying it was him who tried to take his friend's country.

"...Luffy...you're here..." You managed with a smirk as Luffy's angry gaze suddenly turned into shock as he looked at you.

"(Y/N)!! You there too?!"

One of the figures spoke up, (Y/N) recognized him as Ivankov, one of the members of the Revolutionary Army.

"Didn't you say you would find and rescue Silver-chan when we came here as well Straw-boy?"

"Yeah but... OI!! Crocodile didn't do anything funny did he (Y/N)?! You look...you need some meat!" You smirked and gave a low chuckle as Crocodile baritones he had nothing to do with Silver Blood's state.

"Luffy...thank you...but... I trust Crocodile. Release both of us..." You rasped, causing Ivankov to raise an eyebrow and for Crocodile to smirk while Luffy gazed at you with no expression. Ivankov then saying that it's best for them to follow Silver Blood's words, knowing Crocodile's weakness if he tries anything. Something that made you curious as Crocodile seemed to growl in irritation. Jimbei then wanted to come along the ride as well, wanting to help Whitebeard and Ace.

Luffy glanced towards you in concern and then looked up at Ivankov.

"Ivan-chan, can you give your magical power thing to (Y/N)? She needs it."

"That would be...best...I don't want to...slow you guys down..." Ivankov nodded, and when the scissors man released Crocodile and you from your shackles you slumped onto the floor, only your knee helping you stay up.

"Shit..."

"It's okay Silver-chan. Just lay down. And I'll give it to you."

While Ivankov was doing his treatment, Luffy questioned Jimbei on why (Y/N) is the most beat up.

"She was a marine before she was a pirate Luffy-san. Marines don't treat traitors kindly. Also, she is the daughter of the famous blacksmith Silver of the Molten Metal, who was on Roger's ship."

"They still should've treat her better." Luffy said with a mild frown.

"Woohoo!" You clapped your hands as you smirked, moving your arms around to stretch. "It's felt forever since I can actually move. Thank you Ivankov." You then walked towards Crocodile who had his hook outstretched with your cap on top of it. You took it and nodded gratefully towards him as you put it back in your head where it belongs.

"Let us break our way out of this jail with force! Hee-hah!!" Ivankov exclaimed weirdly.

"I won't let you lay your filthy hands on Old Man Whitebeard, Crocodile!" Jimbei warned with a protective scowl.

"Shall we battle to the death right here and now, then?" Crocodile replied lazily.

"Let's just go already!! I need to get my swords back." You yelled, mildly annoyed and highly impatient to leave.

"So including the former member, we have two Shichibukai..." Inazuma, the strangely dress man who had a fur coat half white and half orange along with his hair, observed quietly.

"Two?! Who's the other one?" Luffy questioned.

Haha! The fun is about to start!

I LOVE IT!

Author: *stretches her arms above her head and yawns* Awww...man...*yawns again* all this drama and angst is making me tired. *ponders for a moment* Maybe it's time to make this story lighthearted again...? *takes out phone and starts texting*

*door slams open*

BAM!

Author: *jumps* What in the—

Shanks: Author-chan~ We can come out now right~?*strolls in while asking with a carefree grin*

Author: ...Shanks?!

Mihawk: *strolls in quietly, sits down in one of the chairs and puts his feet up on the conference table**closes his golden eyes*

Crocodile: *strolls in while puffing his cigar with his luxurious coat, picks a side with the head chair of the table*

Doflamingo: Fufufu~ It's nice to be back~ *heads over to the table and squats on it, mildly annoying Crocodile*

Author: What are you guys doing here?! You're not supposed to be here! *whispers* yet.

Hattori: Coo~?

Lucci: *strolls in and narrows his eyes at the smiling Shanks* The Yonko informed us that he received a message for all of us to come back. Was he lying?

Author: *blinks* A message? It wasn't from me. I messaged other people but not you guys...*confused face* Never mind that. You guys can't be here.

Smoker: *comes in and looks down at her* We can't?

Author: ...*blushes* No...you guys can't. *turns to Shanks*Where did you hear this Shanks?

Shanks: *innocently confused face* Really? Well...I didn't really hear it...someone just put a note that stuck onto my back that said "Go to the author right now! And make sure everybody is there too! ESPECIALLY sand baby. KYAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" It was quite strange.*laughs*

Author: *widens eyes*

Mihawk: *glances at the Yonko* You're not worried that someone managed to sneak up on you?

Shanks: *shrugs*

Doflamingo: *smirks and looks over at the smoking Crocodile* 'Sand baby'?

Crocodile:*glares*

Author: ONLY ONE PERSON TALKS LIKE THAT AND LAUGHS LIKE THAT! *puts hands on head and yelling frantically* THAT MEANS—!

*door slams open(again)*

MamaWani : SUP! WHERE'S MY HUSBAND?! *comes in haughtily with a smirk*

ama_rin : Should we be this loud? (^◇^;) We're probably disturbing them, they weren't even supposed to be here yet. *follows afterwords quietly and looks at the author* *waves*

MamaWani : *looks down at her* What are you talking about? They're here now aren't they? And—

ama_rin : *sweatdrops* Because you told Rinku to put a note on one of them. (⌒-⌒; )

Author: Guys?!

MamaWani : You wanted to see them too! As well as*looks behind her with an excited smile* RinkuKaur ! Come out here already!

RinkuKaur : *muffled yell* I'm fine right here!

MamaWani : *poker face* COME ON! DONT JUST STAND THERE GAWKING! You know you wanna be close to him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Author: GUYS?!

RinkuKaur : But...! His mere godly presence consumes me from here! How can I bring myself to be even near that beautiful beautiful hair and glowing smile?

Author: GAH! All of you come in here now! You need some explaining to do.

RinkuKaur : ...*walks in and tries to hide behind ama_rin and MamaWani while looking up every few seconds, gasps, then blushes and hides behind them again* trying not to squeal and failing horribly*

Doflamingo: Fufu~ The Author seems to be angry~*looks at Crocodile* Don't you think so Crocoman? Or should I say...sand baby? *smirk widens*

Crocodile: *eyes slit* *growls* Quiet flamingo. *eyes travel towards the newcomers* And which one of you wrote that?

MamaWani : YOU TELL THAT PINKY HUBBY! AIN'T NO ONE CALLS YOU THAT BUT—

Author: *runs to them and covers MamaWani's mouth* SHH! Don't say that so loud, you can't say it!

MamaWani : *muffled sentences*

Smoker: Is everything all right Author? *comes up behind her and glances down at her*

Author: *panics slightly with a blush and waving her free hand around* O-of course Smoker! Why wouldn't it be?

Lucci: Perhaps it is because of your strange behavior, dear Author.

Hattori: Coo~Coo~

Author: *droops her shoulders in defeat* That obvious huh?

Mihawk: *eyes open and glances towards the group of women*

ama_rin : *feels weak in the knees* He...oh goodness. *whispers* He's looking. (　ﾟдﾟ)

Mihawk: Author, who are these women? One of them must've written that note for Red Hair to find.

Shanks: Oh yeah! *smiles kindly and looks at the three of them* Which one of you put the note there?

RinkuKaur : *shakily raises hand from behind ama_rin and MamaWani while still hiding her face* I-I did.

Shanks: *slightly frowns with a pout**tries to look over to see her face only for Rinku to move around and hide* You can come out you know, I don't bite.

RinkuKaur : *shakes her head*

Shanks: *smiles* Come on~ You sneaked up on a Yonko! I have to see the face of who could do such a thing!

RinkuKaur : ...*slowly raises head and meets gazes with the kind eyes of the Red Hair*

Shanks: *gives a happy grin with closed eyes* See! That wasn't hard was it?

Author: Wait-! *lets go of MamaWani's mouth*

RinkuKaur : *faints with blood spurting out and says this before her soul travels out of her body* He smiled at me...

Author, ama_rin , MamaWani : *blank tone* Aaaaaaaaaaaand she fainted. （ーー；）

Author: *claps her hands* Alright! Time to introduce yourselves! But first, *takes out a fan and hands it to Shanks* Fan her please.

Shanks: *looks at her questioningly*shrugs*starts fanning Rinku*

Author: Mihawk!

Mihawk: *snaps his hawk eyes to the author in attention*

Author: *pleased smile*grabs ama_rin's shoulders* Why don't you 'properly' greet one of my friends here, named ama_rin . To celebrate your lead on the others?

ama_rin : *blushes* What? O////O

Mihawk: ...

Author: *takes out a poster with Silver Blood that says all over "Do it for her"*

Mihawk: *walks over to ama_rin* kneels without moving his golden eyes on her form* grabs her hand*

ama_rin : *shaking and blushing* W-wha—?

Mihawk: *doesn't break his gaze as he brings her hand to his lips* kisses it* *in low voice* Hello, ama_rin. Nice to meet you.

ama_rin : *appears to be in shock as she shakes with her mouth open*even when Mihawk lets go, nods his head, and moves to leave*
(　ﾟдﾟ)

Author: Okay! *wide smile* Now for—WHAT THE HECK?!

MamaWani: *talking to Crocodile with a pleased smirk* ...and I can polish your hook, your shoes, help pick your coat and—

Crocodile: *listening with an amused smirk while puffing his cigar lazily*

Author: ...huh...*ponders for a moment* Just in case...*takes out a poster that says "Don't do anything violent" and raises it for Crocodile to see*

MamaWani : And afterwords I can call you—*interrupted by author's loud cough*...Sir Crocodile~

Crocodile: *glances at it* looks away lazily**gives slight nod*

Author:*nods to herself* very pleased* but raises another poster that says "You gotta step out alone with her"*

Crocodile: *brow furrows and scoffs even as MamaWani talks*

*Everybody else is looking back and forth between them* some amused*others concerned*

Author: *tick marks*raises Silver Blood poster that says "Do it for her"*

Crocodile: *ignores*

Author: *huffs and growls* Croc-y...*takes out a new poster that says "If you don't, you won't get THAT moment with Silver Blood"*

Shanks and Smoker: What?

Mihawk and Lucci: *narrows their eyes*

Doflamingo: Oh~?

Crocodile:*appears interested but narrows eyes to a slit in suspicion*

Author: ...*mumbles to herself*  *takes out a marker, writes on the poster* Says "You'll be the first"

Everybody: *narrows their eyes*

Crocodile: *raises brow with an arrogant smirk* stands up and looks at MamaWani* Come. Let us speak privately.
