See Through Lies || Luffy

New Escape

As Zara left with the marine, Luffy's heart sank as he feared for her safety and what the marines had in store for her. He knew that the chances of her coming back safe and sound were slim and he was worried for her wellbeing.

She looked towards Luffy and whispered, "I'll be back soon. Stay here and don't get into any trouble, okay?" Luffy nodded in agreement and Zara turned towards the marine and followed him out of the prison.

Luffy tried to stay put as Zara had asked, but he was filled with worry and fear for her safety. He knew that she was walking into a dangerous situation and hated being unable to help her in any way.

He had no idea what the marine had planned for Zara and the thought of her in danger made his heart ache. He desperately hoped that she would be safe and returned to him soon.

He heard the sound of keys hitting each other and looked up, breaking him out of his thoughts.

Tyrone stepped in front of Luffy's cell with a mischievous grin on his face. He looked around the prison and then fixed his gaze on Luffy. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Luffy! I haven't seen you in a while?"

"Tyrone, Zara-" Through an inexplicable gesture, Tyrone stopped him in his tracks by raising his finger in response.

"There's no hope for that woman," Tyrone said with a chuckle. "She's walking into a dangerous situation and there's no telling what will happen to her. I wouldn't be surprised if she never came back."

Luffy was shocked at Tyrone's words and his heart sank. He couldn't believe that Tyrone would be so dismissive of Zara's safety and he felt a wave of anger rising within him.

Luffy glared at Tyrone and shouted, "Don't you want to help her? She's your friend and you just stand here and do nothing? You might not care, but I do!"

Tyrone's smile faded and he glared at Luffy. "Friend? No, more like I used her to get promotion. She was my ticket to the top and I wasn't about to let her get away. I knew she wouldn't last long in the Marines and I was right." 

Luffy was speechless. He couldn't believe that this was the same Tyrone he had known and trusted. He had never expected Tyrone to be so selfish and heartless.

Tyrone threw his head back and laughed. "Oh and don't be expecting her presence from now on, her soul will definitely be in peace," he said mockingly.

Luffy realised with a sudden dread that Zara was most likely never going to come back. Tyrone's words made it all too clear that she was walking into a situation from which she would not be able to return alive.

He remembered the keys that Nami had given him for his cell before and wondered if he wanted to use it. He knew that it would be dangerous and he would probably get into a lot of trouble if he were caught, but he thought that the risk was worth it if it meant saving Zara.

He looked around the prison, making sure that Tyrone was not looking before reaching for the keys. He quickly opened the door to his cell and stepped out, his heart pounding with anticipation.

Tyrone heard the noise of the door and quickly turned around. His eyes widened as he saw Luffy standing outside the cell, the keys still in his hand.

Luffy charged forward and threw a powerful punch that connected with Tyrone's jaw, causing him to stumble back in surprise. The force of the punch sent Tyrone reeling, his head snapping back with a sickening thud.

Luffy followed up with another punch that landed on Tyrone's nose, causing it to bleed profusely. Tyrone staggered back, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief.

"What-!"

Luffy prepared to deliver one final punch that would knock Tyrone unconscious.

He clenched his fist and shouted, "This is for Zara!" He then threw a powerful punch that connected with Tyrone's chin, sending him sprawling to the ground.
