31. Wreckage

A little after that day, Kid was almost finished with his arm. He was incredibly satisfied with his work and was proud of it. The last few pieces he needed were in another territory and that's where he was headed. He would be back within a few days and he instructed you come in and watch the shop with his day crew.

He had head out just a day or two ago. Everything was going well. You were humming and cleaning up the shop with the crew. They were working on cats for people as well as selling parts in the lobby. You were cleaning up all the oil spilt on the floor as well as picking up fallen tools.

People had a habit of dumping their trash around as well, which was quite annoying for you. Eventually their clients for the day stopped and now they were working peacefully on their own, music blasting from a radio they had.

You all ate lunch together earlier and got to know each other well. Kid had commanded for them to all listen and respect you while he was out. Of course they were curious as to why this random woman now had authority over them. After hearing everything— they understood quickly.

It didn't take long for them to understand something you didn't; Kid had begun to care for you. The only woman who was able to control and command them was Bonney but now she was on her own. Kid never let anyone else command his crew besides Killer and someone who was important to him.

Of course you denied everything. Kid wasn't soft with you, he rarely showed himself soft to you. Every time he did, it was quickly masked up with his angry or cocky personality. His pride meant lots to him, that's clear.

The day crew headed out for the night, leaving you alone peacefully. You were satisfied enough with your cleaning and Kid let you know he had board games as well as money and alcohol stashed away for you.

You decided to check it out. You ate earlier so your appetite hadn't grown yet but you could go for a drink. It wasn't going to be that heavenly as he didn't have mixers since he wasn't a bartender but you'd work with whatever you were able to get.

The radio in the shop played a song that made your lips turn into a smile. Electric Love.

♪ Candy, she's sweet like candy in my veins ♪

You swayed your hips to the song as you searched through Kids office, finding the alcohol. You darted for the wine and popped the cap off, taking a swig as you exited the room, humming to the song.

♪ And every night my mind is running around her ♪

The song continue the play loudly as you began to dance around like a fool. You sang loudly to it, occasionally taking a drink from the glass bottle.

You stumbled on your own feet, laughing at your actions as if it was the funniest joke someone had ever told you. Soon, a harsh knocking was heard at the locked front door.

"We're closed!" You shouted. Whoever was knocking didn't stop however— they continued to pound on the door aggressively.

You scoffed. "Did you not hear me?!"

There was a pause of silence before the door was busted down. You saw men in white entering the room quickly as a man pinned you down, knocking the bottle out of your hand; causing it to drop to the floor with a loud crash of glass.

A harsh pressure was put against your arm as you looked to see a strawberry blonde haired woman. She wore a deep magenta suit with a soft yellow collar sticking out and a white marine coat hanging over her shoulder.

She touched you with her hand and suddenly you felt metal being wrapped around your body.

"Lock." She said as she shifted to sit on your body. She was a devil fruit user as a man with two cigar's in his mouth walked in. He was incredibly buff and wore no shirt, as well as had white hair.

"Damnit. Seems like we missed Eustass. We caught Whitebeard's daughter however." He said, glancing down at you.

"Hina caught her." The woman said. She had caught you, Hina must be her name.

"We can lure him out, as well as his crew and Eustass. Take her to Admiral Akainu. He'll choose her punishment." The man said. His fist turned to smoke as he began to walk around, searching the place.

"Who the hell are you guys?!" You shouted. The woman, 'Hina', looked down at you, a cigarette in her mouth as she got off of you. She lowered her sunglasses so they covered her eyes as she roughly picked you up.

"I am Black Cage Hina. The man you just saw is White Hunter Smoker. We are marines." She briefly explained.

"So why the hell am I being captive? I'm not part of any kind of gang!"

"That's classified. No more questions until you're brought to Admiral Akainu.

You sighed. Just great, the marines stormed in and ruined the place and now you were being taken captive just so they could lure out Kid and your father.

You could only hope this 'Akainu' was merciful.
