Straw Hat: Rise of the Dragon Slayer

The Cry Of A Dragon

BOOM!

My eyes shoot open, I immediately try to push myself up at the sudden loud noise. "ROBIN! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!" Luffy had broken through the wall, and the bedroom door was sliced in multiple directions. Falling to pieces leaving just the door frame. Zoro walks in and stood near Luffy, my heart racing from my memory and the commotion. I tried to push myself so my back was against the wall. My hands were shaking as I tried to recall the memory. Who am I really? That man I lost against, he had a similar ability to me. Am I not the only person with dragon magic? "Hey!!! Cole! Luffy! Where the hell have you been all this time?" Zoro shouted as he questioned both me and Luffy, I remained silent and stared at my hands. "Robin! I'm so glad to see you again!" Both chopper and Nami ran into the room, it seems as though they aren't aware of what side Robin is on. I saw the horror in Chopper's eyes seeing me. "Cole! You're injured!" He began to panic and tried to run over, but stopped with a terrified expression after seeing CP-9 agents glaring at him.

"Wh....What is going on here!?" Tears filled my eyes as I heard the familiar shipwright, a beaten up Paulie stood shocked near Luffy. I lowered my head as I tried to keep my tears from falling. "Aw....Jeez" Lucci started, acting guilty while looking at Paulie. "Iceberg-san, Cole.... What" My shoulders slumped; my composure broke as my lips began to quiver from all my emotions.

"What the hell is going on here!" His voice cracked as distress was woven into his voice. "Paulie. Why didnt you run!" Dad shouted at him with all his energy, his voice was panicky and filled with stress. "What is THIS.... IT'S LIKE!" Paulie looked at the masks on the floor and back to his supposed co-workers. Ones who worked along side with him for years, he kept glancing at the masks and then to the outfits they were wearing. "Why are you DRESSED LIKE..... LIKE the criminals who're after Iceberg-san's LIFE!"

A tear trickled down my cheek listening to Paulie's desperate voice.

"Hey! KALIFA!"

"BLUENO!"

"KAKU! LUCCI!!"

I began to weep and my shoulders shook. Tears streaming down my cheeks hearingPaulie's voice filled with desperation and denial. "Enough with the jokes,guys!" I truly wished this was a joke, a cruel joke. But it wasn't. "Oh yeah!Those are the shipwrights you were with earlier! It's the Pigeon Guy!" Luffyexclaimed after recognizing them. "Hey, I recognize the square nose... You meanthe 'assassins' were working on the inside" I finally lift my head to look atPaulie, he glanced at me with wide eyes. Seeing me so distraught emotionally,only confirmed his fears. "Paulie... We're actually government intelligenceoperatives. You'll forgive me if I apologize right...?" My heart ached as mycheeks were wet from tears. Anguish filled my body, my eyes furrowed as I triedhard to concentrate. I glanced down at my metal binds, seeing it grew a softred color. I didn'tfeel lethargic much, glancing up I saw that Jeremiah was distracted looking at the Straw Hats. "We're companions... We built ships day in and day out... If it'stoo sudden for you to believe, would you like me to... Step on Iceberg's face?" My anger rose along with the heat, I stood up slowly breaking out of my binds. "Shut up! This is all too much!" Paulie yelled in frustration and confusion, his eyes darting around frantically. "The voice I heard earlier of the cow mask matched yours... Dammit! Bastards!" I took a step forward, my shoes echoed making everyone stare at me wide eye. "C-Cole?" I furrowed my eyes in confusion seeing the awed faces of the Straw Hats.

"This confirms it even more, Little Dragon activated her dragon force"

I lifted my hands up to see dragon like scales covering my fore arms. I tightened my hands feeling a small pain from my right hand. My eyes moved to look at Lucci with a threatening glare. I take another step forward keeping my eyes trained on Lucci. "You can speak properly! You made fools out of all of us!!" I stopped and stood in the middle of the room. "Paulie, Stop it!" Dad shouted at him, trying to keep him away from the danger. I saw Paulie reach into his jacket as I leaped forward.
