32. The meeting.

You were forcefully brought to the base of the marines. They weren't sure of your strength or if you were a devilfruit user. Whenever they tried to question you on the way, you refused to answer. It irritated them greatly but you weren't gonna give in.

You were shoved into the office of Admiral Akainu; the smell of smoke filling your nose. He had a cigar in his mouth and his room was dimly lit. He was very buff and looked more intimidating than you expected.

"Admiral Akainu, we've secured Hyde Newgate." Hina said.

"It's about to be Jekyll soon if you don't let me out of your damn cage..." You muttered softly but loud enough for her to hear.

She snickered at your words and put shackles on your wrists before releasing you from her cage. She exited the room, leaving you alone with him. You believed you were alone before a man pushed you into a seat.

"Have a seat." He said blankly.

"Thank you Lucci. You may leave." Akainu said. You followed his eyes, seeing a tall man in a black suit with a bird on his shoulder and curly hair exit the room. You turned your attention back to the gruff man before you; he sat there with his hands intertwined as he stared you down.

"You...are Whitebeard's descendant?" He grinned.

You frowned at his words. Was he implying you couldn't possibly be his daughter?

"If you're implying I look nothing like him, I'm his adoptive daughter, just like his sons. Why the hell am I even here?" You questioned.

"That explains a lot. And why are you so curious as to know? You're Whitebeard's daughter, that itself explains everything you need to know currently."

"It doesn't actually." You said. If he was planning anything, you weren't going to go along with his games. You were determined to piss the marines off.

"How else would we lure the yonko out? Whitebeard is the only man who would fight on equal footing to Roger. He's dangerous, as well as the other emperors.You're his pride and knowing him, he'll drag his crew along with him."

"Maybe even Eustass will appear for you. Words going around you're his lover and that you were with Shanks and Law at some point. What's a girl like you got that you attract such dangerous people?" Akainu said, tilting his head as he stood up and began to walk around in circles around your chair.

You huffed.

"Just very charismatic." You said sarcastically with a grin.

His eye twitched at your words as he stopped behind you. He harshly kicked the chair leg, causing you to jerk forward but not enough to fall over.

"Don't play your games with me. I want to know how you've managed to get with people with such reputations. Kid, Law, Shanks? You've got a keen eye." He growled as he approached you, roughly grabbing your shoulder.

He dug his nails into your skin. His tight grip chasing you to wince.

"Tell me what I need to hear and we can make this quick. Tell me how you know them and we'll send you on your way." He said.

You knew they were going to keep you there, most likely in a cell with other prisoners.

"Yeah? You wanna know? I ended up serving Kid alcohol in a bunny costume, I met Law while getting over Kid after finding out about Bonney and then I made a deal with Shanks, that's why I went on a date with him." You said blankly.

"That's all? It's deeper than that, I know it is. What was your deal with Shanks?" He hummed.

"...He spare Kids life and in return, he gets to go on a date with me without Whitebeard's knowledge." You shrugged.

You weren't going to reveal Kids location or anything important. You could tell him about the dates and the deal with Shanks, it wasn't very special. Everyone pretty much knew so you couldn't even hide.

"So the yonko has an interest in you hm? I see we risk Shanks coming here as well as Whitebeard..." He trailed on. You could tell he was deep in thought. Before you knew it, Akainu shoved your chair to the ground, sending you to the floor with a hard impact.

You groaned at your body hitting the ground roughly as he looked down at you menacingly.

"Don't you toy with me damnit. Shanks is more of a businessman than that, Law wouldn't just date you because you wanted him to get over your pathetic lover. I'll get you to talk one way or another." He growled.

You felt your head begin to ache and shake, your vision becoming a blur. The last thing you saw was Akainu standing above you, holding the cigar between his fingers, his eyes piercing down at you. He snickered before he spoke to you before you went unconscious.

"This was certainly the meeting. Next time, you will cooperate or else you're not going to like it."
