Taiga's POV!
"That m-must b-be h-how h-he d-does things c-captain, s-such a g-grand e-entrance...", I trail, looking to the loud Strawhat crew as they beat up the G-5 guys easily. Suddenly, something flies up and hits the ship they were fighting by right on the mast. Drops of it rain down on the marines as they attempt to deal with the condensed gas monster.
"I remember overhearing something about that.", I say, the monster going up in flames before exploding, catching the marines off guard. Even the guys working at the facility didn't know what it was.
"The condensation of the gas incident from 4 years ago, turned to be a monster by Caesar and locked away from three years ago, we need to leave, it'll kill us.", I explain, remembering the conversation I had overheard with Monet and Caesar on an off day about a month ago. We head into the lab with Chopper in the bag to find only Monet in the room.
"If you're looking for master, he isn't here right now.", she says, holding out a hot chocolate for me to take.
"Thanks M-Monet-San! It's f-freezing out there.", I thank, taking the cup from her wing as Law places down his sword.
"Oh really, where is he?", Law asks, untying the bag from his sword as I sip the warm chocolate.
"Who knows, he's a nasty one. So maybe he's looking at the fight going on in the front?", she ponders, writing something on her paper.
"We've been around to look at all the things around the island, we're heading off soon.", Law says as I finish the cocoa and place the cup on the counter.
"I see, we'll miss you two.", she says, taking a small break to pat me on the head again.
"M-Monet-San, there's something w-we n-need you f-for, c-can you c-come w-with us?", I ask, playing along with Law.
"Oh! This is a date isn't it? I'm so happy!", she says flirtatiously, taking off her glasses and taking a break from the paper she was working on.
"Oh you're so unsociable, Taiga-Chan is getting that as well, what is it?", she asks, following us as we headed out of the room.
"You'll s-see!", I chirp happily, leading her and Law out. As we are walking, Law collapses to the ground in pain.
"C-captain! What's wrong?!", I ask panickedly, running back to him as he breaths in pain. I sense someone imposing heading our way, making me step back from Law in fear.
"Who's there?!? Who are you?!?", Law shouts, someone had to have gotten ahold of his heart.
"It's me.", a deep voice answers, he was the cause of captain's pain.
"Why are you... haa... here?", Law asks, making me step towards Law again to at least ease some of his pain.
"How many years has it been? You've gotten so big, Law.", the voice asks, he meant business I could tell.
"Did you really think he had no idea? We do not trust Caesar. That's why he carefully snuck Monet in here.", the guy says, I recognize him.
"And you've brought a brat with you as you're only back up? How funny...", Vergo says, he was in charge of destroying my island and I knew it.
"I guess I should address you as Royal warlord... you've become famous...", he trails, walking closer to us as Monet joins his side.
"W-when d-did y-you g-get h-here?", I ask quietly, scared as memories of the massacre and bombings race back after two straight years.
"So the brat speaks... I just happened to be at Dressrosa... and since they said there'd be a Sad tanker, looks like getting was the right move.", he answer calmly as Law coughs up some blood.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HARM YOU DID I?!?", Law asks, shouting for the first time since I've join his crew.
"If you did you wouldn't be alive right now. Even if you hide things from us, the adults will find out, Law.", Vergo says, he was looking at me and I knew it.
"T-Taiga... huff... forgive me... but I... have to...
MAKE HIM DISAPPEAR!!", Law says, grasping his sword before falling back to the ground.
"C-captain!!", I shout as Vergo whacks Law straight on the head with a bamboo stick, hardened with armament Haki.
"You, brat, what is your name?", he asks me, turning to me as I look over captain's fallen body.
"That's Taiga-chan, a member of Law's crew. One of the newer ones I suppose but certainly capable of defending herself.", Monet-San answers, licking her lips slightly as I tremble slightly.
"Oh is she now? I can't have her in our way.", he says, stepping up to me.
"A-ahh!!", I shout, using that shave technique to slip past them and grab Law before running away as fast as I could with Law in tow.
"C-captain... I f-forgive you...", I huff, running away from the two until the floor turns to ice. I slip down and try to get back up, only for a foot to step on my back harshly. A snap resounds before pain blossoms down my left leg, Vergo had purposely stomped on it.
"I have no qualms with harming young kids, but it is rather unmanly.", he says, pulling my hair upwards to pull my entire face up.
"Now to tie you up...", he whispers before blackness covers my vision, my head...
