"Th-They're here!"

"This is Level 4! Shichibukai Jimbei escaped from Level 6!"

"This is Blazing Hell..." Jimbei quietly observed, looking around.

"Intruder Monkey D. Luffy!"

"So hot..." Luffy complained, panting with sweat going down his body.

"Silver Blood (Y/N)!"

"Hm, a lot of people here..." You said casually, staring at the prisoners with no fear. You were even smirking a bit.

"And former Shichibukai Crocodile! All four are here, requesting backup!"

When they started to fire, you immediately used Geppo to get away and was in the air.

'I can't hold back. We're in a rush.'

You took out Kuroi ten'nosabaki from your back as the prisoners seemed to scramble amongst themselves with the others. But one managed to spot you taking out your signature and most powerful sword of the two you have.

"Silver Blood is going to use Black Heavens Judgement?!"

"None of them are holding back!"

"Kuro to..." You prepared your sword behind you in a swing as some guardsman tried to take a shot at you and missed.

"Gin!" You moved your buster sword quickly as multiple black and silver cuts appeared form the sword and headed straight towards the guards as they immediately went down all below you. You landed with both feet on the ground, your eyes shadowed by your MARINE cap as you stood by your allies.

"W...we can't hope to stand to this!! A three hundred million rookie, a former Cipher Pol agent, and two Shichibukai...!"

"We have to try and hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

They tried at least. While your area was cleared, you noticed Crocodile go off somewhere in front of a jail cell. Your eyebrows went up when you saw him release a person from the cell, recognizing him as the assassin Daz Bones. An amused smirk was on your lips. What do you know? The guy actually does trust somebody. A mere few seconds later, a bunch of the okama's came through and you spotted someone familiar. Your smirk turned to an excited grin as you ran towards your allies to fight more enemies with your sword.

"Bon! I told you we'd see each other again!" You shouted as Bon widened his eyes and sputtered.

"(Y/N)-kun?! Nice to see you my friend~~... AGGH! What are you doing here Mr. 1?!"

Mr. 1? Ah, so he was in Crocodile's Baroque Works as well...what Bon said to you when you were in Level 3 came back to you. You slightly flushed at the memory.

"They won't plain just stop!"

Luffy gave a yell, "Let's go to Marine HQ!!!" Bon finally spotted Crocodile that was to the right of you and sputtered again.

"B-boss?!" Crocodile said nothing as he continued to run forward, using simple attacks, you sometimes giving a strong slash to people who got too close to them. Bon glanced between the two of you and then did a high spirited double kick to enemies as he seemed to sparkle.

"Ahh~~ I was right! To find love, such a blessing (Y/N)-kun~! I knew you were just playing hard-" you glanced at him with murderous eyes.

"Speak one more word Bon, and I'll personally kill you!" You said with a red face as Bon immediately went tight lipped and was sweating intensely. But had to give a low mutter, "You guys even have the same amount of patience too..." You felt Crocodile glance at you but all you gave was that his subordinates are crazy. Him giving a small Hmph in agreement as they continued to easily go through the guards.

They were close to arriving to Level 3, something that you told Luffy as they kept running. Him giving his grateful thanks as they continued to run, passing the Blue Gorilla. You using Geppo once again to help out Ivankov and the others.

"Kuro to Gin!" You moved your sword quickly back and forth once again towards the enemies who easily went down for the count around you and by the okama's. You used Soryu to go back beside the others as they ran, you getting a little ahead by mistake and spotted the three...wait...since when did they have four Demon Guards? No matter, you prepared your sword as you got closer to help the other prisoners in taking down the guards.

"Powerless fools..." Crocodile commented as they heard the prisoners howls of pain. You hummed as you jumped in preparation, Luffy doing it as well for their attacks to the Demon Guards.

"They're too powerful!"

"We're all gonna die!"

You dived in with your sword ready, not paying attention to what side you used for this attack as always as Jimbei and Crocodile prepared their own attacks.

"Seiken!!" Jimbei punched the Rhinotaurus out.

"Pistol!" Luffy used his Gomu Gomu no fruit at the...Apetaurus?

"Hantei...!" You slashed intensely at the Minotaurus that caused you to faint from the injuries.

"Sables!!" Crocodile used his sand to send the Zebrataurus flying in its own blood.

The prisoners and Sadi yelled in shock as the famous guards easily got taken down and were now in the floor.

"Tch, that's what you get! Beating me when I couldn't punch your lights out..." You said with a proud smirk as you glanced at the Minotaurus as they continued to run with your sword tightly on your right hand.

"Control that temper of yours Silver Blood." Crocodile demanded, probably annoyed at your loud voice as they were getting closer to the door. Leaving Ivankov to deal with Sadi. "Can't control something that was never meant to be bound." You replied to him with a smirk as you took down enemies with a few slashes here and there. Crocodile gave a huff, but you spotted an amused small smirk on his lips when he attacked beside you with his sand powers.

You'll never say this out loud, but man is his power cool.

They also work together surprisingly well.

Hannyabal then showed up and blocked the way, something that irritated you at first when it seemed he didn't take his fight seriously with Luffy. But when it appeared he was down for the count, he would get back up again.

Something that you personally respected. The will to never give up. Something made you pause however as you looked at him under your cap.

"You pieces of scum...infamous for your heinous acts up above...pirates...rebels...traitors. If it weren't for Garp the Hero, you wouldn't have even gotten close to being a marine Silver Blood...!"

'...what?'

.

.

.

**Geppo: a move where it appears you're jumping in midair, when it's just the strength of your legs moving quickly and touching the ground that keeps you upright. You often used this when you're on your small boat so you can go faster on sea. Taught and learned normally by marines.

**Soryu: where you can move in an instant flash in a burst of high speed. Taught and learned normally by marines.

**Karasu(Raven): your noticeably smaller and total black sword that is on your hip. You can imagine whatever sword you want, but perhaps the Chokuto sword will fit. Like Sasuke's sword from Naruto Shippuden.

**Kuroi ten'nosabaki🗡🎇 💀(Black Heaven's Judgement): your black with a sheen of silver buster sword that's carrie son your back. Created by your father, Silver of the Molten Metal. Think of it like Cloud's sword from Final Fantasy or Zabuza's sword from Naruto.

(Your sword is a mix of Cloud's and Zabuza's, there is no hole in your sword, but there IS a half moon cut in it. But the half moon cut near the top of the sword.)

HAHA! Your moves have been revealed, some of them anyway. Let's show what they mean and what they do.

*Kuro to Gin!⚫️🗡⚪️(Black and Silver) a flash of multiple cuts, causing black and silver to reflect from the sun. A beautiful spectacle if it wasn't deadly.

**Hantei 💀(Judgement) a simple one cut attack that you don't pay attention which side you use. The back of the sword or the regular side, it all depends on the situation. Hence, Judgement.

But...what in the world is Hannyabal talking about?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author: *walks in to the complex with food in her hands* Hey guys! Brought all of you food!

Doflamingo: Oh~? What a kind author we have~? Fufufufu.

Crocodile: *scoffs* Took you long enough.

Mihawk: *opens a single gold orb towards her in interest*

Hattori: Coo~?

Lucci: *still has his eyes closed leaning against one side of the wall*

Smoker: *smoke swirls around him as he opens his eyes at her entrance, then closed them again*deciding to wait at the opposite side of the wall from Lucci*

Shanks: *eyes sparkle and comes over to her to help* Really? Here, let me help...*sees the sake* You even got sake! Dahaha!

Author: *blushes a bit and nods* Can't forget the sake with you! I even managed to get the one from the West Blue!

Shanks: *perks up and gives a hearty laugh while giving her a one armed hug* How lucky that I got a nice author~

Author: *blushes ten times fold* Uh, Sh-Shanks, you're going to make me drop everyone's food.

Shanks: *lets go and grabs some of the stuff, putting the stuff on the table and stands back with his sake*

Author: *taking things out of their boxes* Since you have your sake already Shanks, here. *hands a simple hot handmade sandwich as well as some mild spiced red curry*

Shanks: Ooo~ *grabs the sandwich and takes a big bite* Gah, so good! You need to tell me who makes this Author!

Author: *thinks to herself* 'Yeah... I'll die from the others if I said Silver Blood makes it. I never said to her to who I give it to though... I better not say for now.'*continues to take out food* Smoker.

Smoker: *opens his eyes from leaning against the wall and walks over* What'd ya get this time?*looks down at her*

Author: *blushes with a nervous smile* O-oh, you know, same old same old. *hands him a medium well ribeye* Here, I know you like these. I-I added a side of brown rice as well. Also, your beer.

Smoker: *takes the dish, looks at it, and smiles gratefully around his two cigars* Thanks. And thank you for not adding the vegetables this time.

Lucci: *smirks in amusement* The good little marine hates to eat his vegetables? Are you a child?

Smoker: *looks over and glares* I suggest keeping your mouth shut catnip.

Lucci: *narrows his eyes at him* Repeat that, weakling—

Author: HEEEEYYYYY! Look~, Mihawk. Your food. *quickly takes out the swordsman plate and drink*

Mihawk: *walks over silently and gracefully, looking over his dish with critical eyes* What wine did you bring for the filleted salmon and white rice? *looks over at her with golden eyes under his hat*

Author: *startled and stands straight as she takes out the expensive bottle*
P-Prieto Picudo, for this one Mihawk.

Mihawk: *hums and serves himself a glass and takes a sip* looks at it appraisingly, then back at her with approval. Causing her to blush* Good choice, bring it next time. Thank you for the food.

Author: *high squeak* You're welcome! 'He complimented me...!'

Mihawk: *grabs the food and wine, sits down and eats calmly*

Author: *notices the tension between the two marines* sweatdrops in nervousness* And Smoker, can you call the guys in the next room over please?

Smoker: *snaps his eyes toward her, puts his plate down and goes over to the door*

Author:*breaths in relief* Alright, now, Dofla—

Doflamingo: *appears before her, towering over and looking down* Hm~?

Author: *jumps in surprise and startle* Don't do that! I'm going to drop your food!

Doflamingo: *shrugs without a care, but still has his smirk* What did you get for me little author~?

Author:...okay then. *takes out his plate and hands it to him while listing off his food items*  I got you a Red Lobster with a side of Risotto mixed with garlic and some butter on the side. As well as Fettucine Alfredo.*takes out wine and hands it to him to smell and taste* Also got this VERY expensive red wine called
Oregon Pinot Gris to go along with your food. *takes a breath of air*

Crocodile: Why the hell does the flamingo get so much?

Doflamingo:*opens the bottle and takes a messy sip, and hums*looks over at Crocodile behind his sunglasses*Don't be such a 'baby' Croco-man. And you shouldn't be talking.

Crocodile: *annoyed but stays silent*

Author: You can go eat now, Doflamingo. Enjoy the food.

Doflamingo: *hums and looks down at her* How cold the author is to me~? But, thanks for the food little author. *sits down on the conference table and starts to eat while making weird noises*

Author: Alright Croc-y! Your turn! *walks over to the sitting man*

Crocodile: Don't call me that *huffs* I already have one woman doing it, I don't need two. *looks over at her hands* What is it?

Author: Alright! *takes a deep breath* I got you a 12 oz. medium rare Peppered Steak Sirloin just as you like it, this time making it not as biting as it was last time with just a hint of Cajun as well. For your sides, Rosemary Roasted Potatoes as well as Braised Fennel and Shallots. For your drink, a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.*takes out a box* Also got you more of your cigars, made from the finest tobacco from what I've heard. *finally finishes and breaths in deeply while having a brow of sweat coming down her forehead*

Doflamingo: *stops eating to talk* Hypocrite. You're worse then me Croco-man.

Crocodile:*ignores *takes the box, and opens it to smell one of the cigars* Not bad. You surprisingly got a good eye. *smirks*

Author: ...?! 'Did he just compliment me?'

Crocodile: *looks at the food* But don't add so much starch on my plate the next time you serve me, and a 8 oz will suffice for me. *begins eating*

Author: *depressed lines* 'Never mind. Like he would. He didn't even—'

Crocodile: Oh. *looks over at the author as he takes a sip of wine* Thank you for the meal.

Author: ...heck yes.

Everybody: *looks over*

Author: Shit...did I say that out loud?

Everybody: *nods slowly*

Author:...I also said that out loud?

Everybody: *nods, some starting to become irritated*

Author: *kind of amused* Oh, did I also—

*Paulie and Kaku walk into the room awkwardly with them avoiding each other's gazes while Smoker walks behind them*

Author: PAULIE! *runs and glomps the poor man*

Paulie: Wh-wha?! What the hell?! LET GO OF ME!!! I heard you called us for food not for you to—

Author: GAH~! YOURE SO CUTE PAULIE*lifts her head and stares at his face* Do it~!

Paulie: *blushes* Do what you crazy woman?!

Author: *squeals* AWWWWWW! YOURE SO CUTE~!*lifts herself up and grabs his food* Here's your food Paulie~

Smoker: ...Author, you should stop attacking him like that.

Shanks: *smiles and looks over at the marine* You saying that instead of him, it should be you soldier?

Smoker: *slightly blushes and glares at the Yonko* What are you saying Red Hair? Continue drinking your alcohol.

Author: *blushes at what she's hearing but tries to ignore it* Paulie, you got a full rack of barbecue ribs with some French fries with a Blue Moon drink to go along with it.

Paulie: *blinks* grabs the food and the drink with confusion* Oh, woah. Thanks. But how did you know my favorite food?

Author: *eye sparkles mischievously* Research~!

Paulie: *sweatdrops* Alright. *goes to head towards the room but gets stopped by author*

Author: Paulie! Come eat with us!

Paulie: *appears hesitant* sneaks a look at Lucci* narrows his eyes*

Author: *catches him doing that*

Shanks and Smoker: *catches it as well*

Smoker: You like simple food like this as well?

Paulie: *blinks and looks over at him* Er, yeah. It was the only thing I could afford too because of debt collectors coming after my ass.

Shanks: *laughs* Really? Why don't you sit with us over here and tell us more about it?

Paulie: *shrugs and walks over towards them with his food*

Author: *smiles behind her hand* 'They really do have a way with people...' *looks over at Kaku* Kaku! How you doin?

Kaku: *looks over and smiles sheepishly* Good I suppose! But I wonder what you got me!

Author: *smiles kindly and hands him his plate* Got you beef kabobs and a sauce to dip it in if you want, along with curly fries as well. Got you a light beer too.

Kaku: *brightens up and looks at her, impressed* You even know a secret government soldier's favorite food? I only discovered this was my favorite back in Water 7—*cuts himself off and looks away*

Author: UH YEAH! I know everything huh? *laughs to try to make the atmosphere better* ...*looks at him and then at Paulie with concern* Hey...I'm sure they'll let you sit there with them.

Kaku: *looks over at Paulie and Smoker talking with an easy going atmosphere around them as Shanks drinks and observes with a smile* I...can't. I don't know if Paulie will like that. I don't blame him.

Author: *frowns* ...*looks at Shanks*

Shanks: *feels the author's look, then gets up all of a sudden and starts walking towards her and Kaku*

Kaku: ?

Shanks: What is that your drinking? *points at Kaku's light beer*

Kaku: Huh?

Shanks: *smiles* Your drink? What is that? Doesn't smell that strong to me.

Kaku: Oh, *smiles awkwardly* that's cause it's just a light beer.

Shanks: *widens his eyes* What?! What kind of alcoholic are you—

Kaku: *sweatdrops* I'm not an alcoholic.

Shanks: —if you don't have some strong drinks with good food?! *puts his arm around Kaku's shoulders and steers him towards his seat by Mihawk, a few away from Smoker and Paulie but still be able to hear the conversation*

Kaku: Uhhh, but—

Shanks: Mihawk! Help me teach this marine how to drink!

Mihawk: ...*looks over at Shanks with slight annoyance* You're making a lot of noise, Red Hair. *gazes at Kaku and then at his drink* *raises a brow* What is that?

Shanks: It's a beer with barely any ALCOHOL in it! *appears mortified*We got to teach him!

Kaku: But I don't really drink—

Mihawk: Weak.

Kaku: *stops himself with narrowed eyes* What?

Mihawk: *takes a slow sip of his red wine and stirs the glass with his hand while looking at the marine with sharp eyes* You're weak if you cannot handle alcohol.

Kaku: *snaps* What? No I'm not!

Mihawk: *smirks at him mockingly* Prove it.

Kaku: ...*sits down at a chair between Mihawk and Shanks*eyes shadowed by cap* Give me your strongest.

Shanks: Dahaha! That's more like it. *looks at the author and winks with a grin*

Author: *smiles in thanks* Okay, now... Lucci! Your turn.

Lucci: *walks over with Hattori on his shoulder* Took long enough.

Author: Here*hands him a box of bird feed* for Hattori first.

Lucci: *grabs it, puts it on an empty plate and let's Hattori fly off his shoulder*

Hattori: Coo~ Coo~ Coo~~! *happily eating*

Author: Okay, I gotta get ready for this. *takes a huge, deep breath as she hands his plate* I got you a finely cooked rare Filet Mignon with Mushroom Red Wine Sauce along with some shallots with garlic seasoning. Your other sides include Roasted Vegetables that were cooked with non-fattening cooking oil, with having some garlic sauce on top of it to add a bite to it. Along with that is your appetizer with the Seared Salmon slices along with Spicy Ponzu sauce as well as Orange Ginger sauce. I added Garlic-Lime Aioli sauce as you requested last time to calm the mix of flavored for you. Also grabbed this wine for this food*takes it out* called Sangiovese. A good rich red wine for you. *finishes and starts to see stars*

Lucci: *hums* grabs the food* and sits down and begins eating*

Author: ...ugh*faints*

*Everybody except Lucci and Crocodile looks over in mild concern or curiosity*

Mihawk:... She fainted.

Shanks: *walks over and finds the paper of the votes* looks at it* widens his eyes* With your votes I'm not surprised! How are you doing that?!

Mihawk: *looks at him with annoyed golden eyes*

Smoker: *walks over and picks Author up and puts her down at the couch* trying to not snap at Lucci for not saying thanks to the food to her* 'Shit head.'

Shanks: *tilts head* blinks* What are you trying to say Mihawk? Is it the eyes?

Mihawk:*ignores and keeps eating*
