Silver Raven

World Noble Down

"You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes."

I wandered off into my own thoughts as the auction continued. People were being sold but I didn't pay attention as to who. I was half asleep by the time the man is auctioning off the main prize, I didn't even pay attention as to whether it was male or female. But one thing did catch my attention, the first bid.

"5oo million beli!" the World Noble called out. I almost choked on nothing just imagining that high of a number. Apparently so did the rest of the crowd because conversations broke out everywhere all at once. I rose an eyebrow and looked at Hat-kun who simply shrugged. As the bidding closed off I could hear the Kidd pirates leaving behind us, but there was another voice also. Next thing I knew a section of the roof came crashing down along with a giant fish and 3 men. One of the men I recognized as Straw Hat Luffy, he was arguing with a man with green hair and another with blonde. He turned towards the stage and let out an ear-piercing yell.

"AHH!! CAMIE!!!" I glanced at Hat-kun who seemed to be smirking. As Straw Hat ran down the stairs a fishman attempted to hold him back but to no avail. Everyone seemed to almost forget about Luffy and focus solely on the octopus, shouting insults. I watched as a World Noble took out a pistol and shot the fishman straight in the chest. Luffy, who had been trying desperately to get to the stage, stopped and gave a bone chilling stare. The Noble was dancing around, singing, as Luffy approached. As Straw Hat tried to help the fishman, the World Noble pointed the gun towards the both of them. Everything next seemsed to happen in slow motion. Straw Hat walked towards him while everyone in the building gasped in astonishment.

"He wouldn't..." Shachi mumbled next to me. He pulled his arm back then drove his fist into the face of the snobby Noble. To my left Hat-kun smirked, he was definitely interested.  Soon everyone was either fleeing or attempting to stop the Straw Hat Pirates. The man with green hair pulled out three swords and effortlessly sliced down anyone in his path. A blonde haired man with a cigarrete  kicked anyone and everyone in his way.

"Oh, the marines are already here, Mr. Straw-Hat," Hat-kun said from beside me.

Luffy turned around and stared at my captain, "Who are you... And what's with that bear?" I glanced at Bepo who was now blushing at being mentioned.

Hat-kun ignoreed the question and kept talking, "If it's the marines you're worried about, they've been here since the auction started... But I doubt they expected anybody to start attacking the Tenryuubito." The expression on Hat-kun face was almost frightening. He seemed to be having fun, but not the kind where you're laughing. He seemed almost... sadistic.

"You're Trafalgar Law...!! Luffy, that man is a pirate." A black haired woman with a cowboy hat told Luffy. She seemed oddly familiar, but I didn't to have time to sort out who she was.

 "Hahah... You've put on quite the little show here, you and your crew." Trafalgar's eyes were covered by the shadow of his hat but he still had a smug grin.

"The bear too?" the thick headed pirate asked. The conversation advanced no further, for a World Noble held a gun to the mermaid's head. When the Straw Hats began to attack, the female Noble suddenly collapsed. Then, from behind the stage a man and a giant walked out. The silver haired man began speaking with the fish man. The man let off a huge blast of Haki, causing most of the guards to pass out. The man then commenced to free the mermaid then spoke to us.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you guys... So you're pirates hanging around to watch, eh?" The old man said. Shachi, who was behind me, wobbled like he almost passed out. "And if you just took that blast without any trouble... I guess you're not just amateurs either"

"To think we'd run into a man like him... in a place like this," Hat-kun mumbled beside me. I understood how he felt. It's not every day that you run into a former Roger pirate.  Marines began shouting threats from outside the auction house. "Looks like we're involved in this rather we like it or not... They're acting as though we're his accomplices." Hat-kun stated.

Kidd then said, "Hey, I got to see firsthand that Straw Hat Luffy's just as crazy as the rumors say. I'm not exactly complaining... But I sure ain't sticking around to fight it out with an admiral." Rayleigh then went on to tell us that he wouldn't be helping us any longer. As Kidd began to walk out he turned back over his shoulder and said, "Oh, and while we're at it, we'll do you guys a favor! We'll take out the guys hanging around out front, so don't worry your little selves." A new emotion erupted from Hat-kun, anger and annoyance. Both him and Straw Hat stood up and followed Eustass outside, all blood boiling.

"Is he always like this?" I asked Penguin as we followed the captains outside.

"He just doesn't like being told what to do," Penguin shrugged in response. As we made it outside, all three captains were fending off bombs.

"So the fun begins," Train smirked before pulling out duel blades. I pulled out my scythe, it felt like it had been a long time since I'd fought as a crew. Don't die, I heard her voice in the back of my head, but shook it off.
