The Copyist (One Piece & OC)

Chapter 99: We Have to Stop Meeting Like This

***Amaya's POV***

I stood without a single opponent as I had already taken out all the small fry, so I watched. Sanji was still battling Drake in his dino form. Zoro was going back and forth with the blue-haired Kyoshiro.

Something was off. I tuned into our nearby surroundings, listening to any incoming threats. Despite not even hearing the slightest of footsteps, I went with my gut. We needed to leave and now.

I speed around to grab Sanji in the air, followed quickly by grabbing Zoro. Once I held on to each one of their arms, I zapped us away from the former execution grounds that were nothing but embers and a looming threat now.

I took us straight to where I left a confused Yasuie.

"Oi! Warn us before you just take off like that!" Zoro complains as we come to a stop.

"But then you won't always come willingly." I smile in return. "Besides, something was coming, but I didn't know what. So I decided it wasn't worth waiting around to figure out."

"Hmm," Sanji hummed in contemplation. "Well whatever the case, everyone's safe."

Zoro huffs. "Yeah, but that scum got away, along with that swordsman."

"I got a weird feeling from that man." I state, thinking of the blue-haired swordsman. "I'm not quite sure what, but I'm sure we'll figure it out in time."

A little hop and dance from Yasuie stole our attention. "You know this woman?" He asks Zoro while pointing at me.

Zoro's eye shifted to Yasuie before his tenseness eased from his posture. "Yeah, she's a close friend, but how did you know what was going on?" He aimed the end of his sentence at me.

I smile. "Is it really a surprise at this point? After all, I can hear for miles if I choose to do so." I place my hand behind my ear as I make my point. I activated it as I did, listening back to the prison I was at earlier this morning.

BOOM BOOM

Save Big Bro and Ace at any cost! I hear Otama's voice shout in determination. Go for it, Olin-chan

Olin-chan? Who's that? Whoever it is can sure pack a punch. The iron gate to the prison is starting to groan in protest to the assault.

No, no, don't try too hard! Chopper's panicked voice follows quickly.

Red-bean Soup! A familiar voice yelled that made me freeze in place with wide eyes.

"Ama, what's wrong?" Zoro asks, taking my shoulder in his hand and bringing me back to what's in front of me.

"I-I need to go. They're gonna need my help." I tried to get around the group, but Zoro just placed his second hand on my other shoulder.

"Breathe, Ama. Tell us what happened." His voice stayed steady.

"Big Mom is at the prison that Lu and Ace are captured at, but she's not acting like herself. Queen is already at that prison, making those two fight battle after battle. I need to get there to help."

"Are you sure, you're fine?" His gaze held mine.

I took another breath before slowly removing his hands. "I am. I was just surprised about Big Mom being here after the last time I saw her."

"Let her go, Moss head. She'll be fine." Sanji raised his voice, stealing the swordsman's attention from me in a fit of anger.

"What was that twirly-brow?"

I smile at the two before heading back to the prison. Those two never change.

When I arrived on the scene the large metal gate had a huge tear, allowing even the largest of people easy access into the prison.
