You were pursuing your dreams and hopeful to see your brother in the future. While at work, you discovered some hidden things inside the Marines that you were not supposed to know.
One night, the Captain of the ship entrusted something. This caused...

The other Kid Pirates are still fighting with a lot of marines, pirates and some bounty hunters who worked under Mich.
Killer tried his best to find you along the way but to no avail. He's already aware that the enemies they are facing are trying to lure them away to where the vine had taken you and the others.
Back to where you are, one is already dead.
The male marine who came running with the devil fruit was killed by you after engaging back in the fight. Masclara is now slouched on a tree, covered in blood and barely unconscious.
You were face flat on the ground, covered in dirt and blood too. You watch Masclara and the sign that she's still breathing gives you relief.
Mich is breathing heavily while she remains the only one standing.
Every single one gave their best, maximizing stamina at its best.
" You wouldn't have suffered long if you had just died that night." Mich said under her breath without looking at you.
You tried getting up, sticking your sword to the ground and gripping it with both hands as your support to at least kneel one knee on the ground. You gritted your teeth feeling the aching wounds and sore muscles in your body. Mich received wounds and a broken rib but she has more energy left than you.
" I suffered a lot but I still wanted to live. " Your voice is almost a whisper.
" I'm afraid your life ends here. I'll end all the problems from that night and take the devil fruit to Blackbeard or eat it as he instructed. One last request, say hello to Captain Zatur and our old crew mates for me if you see them in the afterlife." Mich smiled.
While you were glaring at her, you observed how she said those words. How it sounded so evil yet projected as soft. You can't understand the emotion in it but you understand she's determined to kill you.
Mich just took a step towards you when Masclara laughed weakly, taking both of your attention and turned to her.
Masclara is still leaning on the tree and in her hand is a tone dial. She pressed it then the shell replayed what Mich said just a while ago.
Mich clicked her tongue and rushed to her.
" No!" You shouted. You took a deep breath and tried to ignore all the screaming pain in your body. It will numb eventually, that is what you thought.
Masclara had a smirk on her face until Mich reached her. She grabbed a handful of Masclara's hair and pulled her upwards until she was weakly standing on her feet.
