PRØJEC† REFØRMA†IØN (Øne Piece)

"That's something we don't hear everyday" Law was finally awake. He wanted to skip out every damn argument the pirates had."Well, in here anyway"

"The coincidence is creeping me out" Scratchman Apoo scratched the back of his neck, gazing at whatever was happening in the upper floors.

Hawkins shuffled his tarot cards and one question in mind: "Who caused the explosion?" 

He also wanted to know whatever characteristic that person had and decided to draw out three cards.

"He's quite a feisty fellow" Urouge grinned, imagining a wild and berserk savior they seem to have.

"Damn right he is" Kid added as screams and sound of gunfire reached their senses.

Bonney and Bege kept quiet but just like the rest, they were tensed to learn who braved Impel Down.

Luffy was grinning like a madman, indirectly stating that he was right.

That they shouldn't lose hope.

The first card Hawkins drew was the Tower: a symbol of disaster, shaken foundations, sudden change and revelation.

The explosions came closer and closer until the floor above them just happened to be blasted into chunks and tidbits.

Coughing from the smoke and dust, it quickly dispersed and they were able to see clearly again.

He took a random card and had the High Priestess in his hand.

A black blur fell from the massive hole and landed gracefully on the greenish tiles.

Based on the build, the cloaked figure was female. Her face was masked by the hood's shadow as she inspected the cells while she held some sort of sack thrown at her back.

Law, who was nearest to the figure, wondered if there were heads in the sack because of the shape it made.

"What are you doing in here?" A dozen Marines poured into the hallway, rifles aimed at the stranger.

Silence was her answer.

"You're not gonna tell us hu-"

Small explosions occured one after another and the noise died down once again.

"Hmph, this is where those Marines held them?" The sound of heeled boots replaced the silence. "Is this what we're really supposed to be doing?"

The cloaked figure faced her partner in crime. The partner had her own hood off, showing short green hair and garnet eyes that showed utter irritation.

But the cloaked person never replied.

"I don't know what's worse: a weak defense of a so-called famous prison or a bunch of trash called the Worst Generation" the partner arrogantly shrugged her shoulders.

"What the f*ck did you say you little sh*t?!" Kid, who was farthest from the right, seethed in rage.

"So let's go on with killing them now right?" The green-haired flexed her fingers and scanned the pirates, completely ignoring Kid until a sound of gunfire occupied the atmosphere.

Wide-eyed, both the pirates and the green-haired girl watched the scene unravel.

The cloaked figure had a pistol out and she shot her partner at her chest.

The victim's head made a mighty thud on the floor, a warm drizzle of red liquid oozed from the back of her head.

  The High Priestess signifies higher power, intuition and mystery.
