The Devil's Grin - A One Piece Fanfic (Snail-like Updates)

Prison Can Be Fun

"Let's try this again." Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed with exhaustion. "Why did you invade Navy Headquarters?"

"I may be fickle but I don't change the truth that easily." D sat on the little bed they had provided him. "I had no intention of invading Navy HQ. But I might change my mind in the future. It went so well with me incoherent so it can only work better with me at my best." He grinned as he watched Sengoku's face go red with frustration. From what he had been able to figure out he had been out for three days. As soon as he woke up Aokiji sent word to the Fleet Admiral. Several hours later they were still trying to get a motive out of him. What they couldn't accept was that there was no motive. He had appeared unexpected and wrecked the place, which he really wanted to know what he did, all on accident. And that truly scared them.

"Bring Aokiji back." D smiled. "I liked talking to him."

Sengoku's face shook as he tried to control himself. "Fine!" He threw his hands up in defeat. "I'll send him in." He stood up and moved to the wall which moved aside to reveal a second room. He entered the room and the wall closed again. The sound of another wall opening in the other room told him Sengoku had left. It wouldn't be long before Aokiji returned. While he was gone he had to figure out how to escape.

The room he was in was made entirely of Sea Prism Stone as well as the next room that each of his interrogators entered from. In between each moving wall was a gel form of the stone. How they managed that he didn't know but it proved effective in making the room air tight. Which actually wasn't much of a problem because he could still use some of his powers, much to the surprise of the marines. One such power giving him the power over gases. It was a simple process of changing the carbon dioxide in the room to oxygen for him. What he couldn't do was get out of the room. His conscience was sealed in by the power of the sea making for one major headache.

The wall began moving again revealing Aokiji. "Still giving trouble I see." He walked in and sat at the table Sengoku had been occupying. "Shall we play another game?" He pulled out a chess set.

"Wonderful." D jumped happily. "I knew you'd bring toys." He picked up his pieces and then dropped them immediately. "How mean! Making the out of Sea Prism Stone."

"Have to control you even when we're playing." Aokiji smiled slyly. "For reasons we can't understand you still can use abilities yet no users can use their own when they enter here. Care to tell me why?" He asked curiously. "Your first."

Wincing slightly D set up his pieces. "First you would need to understand the relation between me and the Sea." He studied the board before moving a piece. "Your turn."

"I have heard some of the rumors." Aokiji moved a piece. "Your turn."

"And what do the rumors say?" D grinned knowingly. "It really is a pain touching these things." He sighed and waved his hand. A small gust of wind pushed a piece to stand in front of one of Aokiji's pawn. Aokiji's jaw dropped in surprise.

"You can use your abilities on the stone?!" He asked in amazement.

"Of coarse I can." D scoffed. "Just like you can freeze the sea. It takes physical contact for the powers to really be canceled out." He explained. "Most of humanities limits are set by themselves. Especially fruit users. Its your move."

Aokiji blinked for a bit before coming to. "Right." He moved a piece. "They say your lover was the ocean."

"Well of course she is." D grinned as another piece moved itself. "We just had a falling out is all. Once we meet up I'll just talk to her."

"From the stories it was more than a falling out." D winced at that.

"It was a grave misunderstanding." He scowled. "When are you going to get to the real question you want answered?"
