"Hey! Did you find something?!" Garp roared over the field the marines were searching on but nothing had been found.

"Garp- san, I still think we should search through Gray Terminal-"

"NONSENSE! Keep quiet and keep on searching!" Garp screamed and the marines kept searching. He felt his phone vibrate so he checked it and nearly crushed it when he saw the message he got from-

"THAT DAMN RED HAIRED BASTARD!"

[The damn red haired!:

Ace left the house and I don't know where he went. I ran into Mt. Corvo and saved two teens from one of the Kings. One of them looked like Sanji, but I'm not sure.

Anyways, I'm on lookout for Ace and if you see him, catch him]

"Keep your damn eyes on him..." Garp growled and once again told the marines off when they asked him what was wrong.

Law and Sanji stood by a new house with shock filled eyes. The house was downright destroyed, burnt completely black. The grass around it was brown and dead. This fire wasn't a joke. It was huge and destructive. They walked around the house in a circle and looked at the black wood from outside. The whole place was just eerie and Law's frown grew by the second. He didn't feel good at all and the storm wasn't making it better.

They then stood in front of the house, walking on the stone slabs to the door. However, it wasn't like the rest they've seen. This one was fucking locked.

"Didn't you have a bunch of keys?" Sanji asked and Law said he did, but they were for smaller things like boxes, locks and such. Not big doors like this.

Law and Sanji tried to push and pull on it since its hinges looked rusty and old and they thought that it would break. After a while they gave up.

"Law, move back, I'm gonna kick the thing open." Sanji said and Law moved away a bit and Sanji kicked at least 5 times before the whole door flew off its hinges. The blonde went inside first, even though he was completely terrified he would see spiders and other insects, and he slowly looked around the place. The house had two floors but the things Law and Sanji thought was weird was that it wasn't empty. All the furniture was left in the house and many toys, which were melted now, from kids were scattered around the floors and the two teens got bad feelings in their stomachs.

"I don't like this place..." Sanji muttered out and pulled out a cigarette. Even though he was 16 he didn't care at all about the rules of smoking. Zoro was the same, but with drinking.

"Yeah... Me neither. It seems like very young kids used to live here." Law said and his head started to ache as he remembered his own childhood, now feeling a little lightheaded and kinda nostalgic. "I don't think we should split up. Let's search here and then we take the second floor." Law said and they started to search through the place. They looked through boxes, shelves and behind paintings. Everything was black and many things were either melted or had been turned completely to ash.

The words of Naguri suddenly replayed themselves in Law's mind as he was searching in the living room.

"They are masters at hiding things... Search thoroughly..." Law mumbled and then he glanced at the toys which were on the floor. He remembered the doll with the key in its head from that old cabin as well, and something clicked in his head. "It couldn't be...?"

Law took one of the nearest toys to him that wasn't completely melted, which was a small red car, and opened its door up. He found a paper in it with a drawing in it. It was of two kids holding hands. One had a huge smile on his face and the other was really pale, but had red cheeks. Law couldn't really make out what it was, since the drawing was made by a kid, but he saw names scribbled on it.
