23 Davy Back Figh

On the stage appeared Law with his crew behind him and in front of him was Larch who carried a strange dark atmosphere around him, making the ones around him afraid for some sort of reason. He was wearing a black suit and a black coat over his shoulders.

Law: We have the three coins so it's per our deal your crew can't participate in any game. And you can't use your sword.

Larch: Yes.

Ending their conversation both took out a pistol and fire towards the sky.

Seeing the bullet going up in the sky, Larch turned around and left the stage, while speaking towards Law.

Larch: You choose the games. Tell me after lunch. We meet here again.

Law: Okay.

Beppo: What a weirdo. At least if we win he promised us Belly for a life time adn if he cna't keep up that part of the deal he will give us his ship.

As Larch was walking down Mars, Beth and Ace were approaching him. Sensing them Larch turned to look at them. As he did Ace felt a chill running down his back.

Ace: Bro.

Larch: Hi. Let's go back to the ship.

Mars/Beth: Aye captain.

Ace: Bro didn't you think that you will be a large disadvantage fighting their whole crew by yourself and not using your sword.

Larch: Don't worry about it. Let's go.

Ace sensed that something really bad must had happened.

Ace: Can we come with you.

Larch: Sure.

Larch didn't even turned around as he respond his brother as he continued walking in the direction of his ship.

Ace: "What happened in this 3 months?"

Arriving to the ship Larch and Beth continued inside as Ace was about to follow them inside Mars stood in his way.

Mars: Sorry Ace-kun but i can't let you go in. It's for your own safety.

Ace: What do you mean?

Mars: Well big brother is going to his room and sis is going to the kitchen to cook lunch for everyone. Both locations are forbidden without consent from sis to enter kitchen and big brother to enter his room.

Ace: Okay.

Ace and Mars begun talking with each other and they talked most was about the reason as for Larch being this way. While they were talking Beth appeared carrying a huge number of trays full of food.

Beth: Mars go get the others.

Mars: Aye sis.

Going inside Mars came out the next second a huge number of trays in his right hand while he had a single golden tray in his left hand with two simple meals.

Beth: Good now go take captain and Kuina-san meal to them.

Hearing Beth, Ace intervened.

Ace: Excuse me but can i be the one to do it?

Beth: Sure but it's your funeral. Mars give him the tray.

Mars: Ace-kun take care in case you feel danger run out of there as soon as possible.

Taking the tray Ace went inside the ship. The moment he went inside a huge pressure came down on him, making fall to his knees, but he didn't let the tray fall off.

Ssshhhh

???: Who are you?

As he began start sweating, the sound of a sword drawing and a voice came out. Lifting his head Ace saw a face he had not seen in a long time.

Ace: Kuina.

Kuina: Ace. What are you doing here? Is that Larch-kun food?

Ace: I suppose.

Kuina: Good. I will take it inside you can go now!

Ace: Kuina wait i want to see the pers....

Slash

Ace couldn't continue as Kuina put her sword next to Ace neck.

Kuina: Quiet! If you want to keep living you should be wise in what you say. Come i will show but don't open your mouth without thinking first.

As she said she took the tray out of Ace hands and began walking inside the ship. While walking neither spoke. After a while they came to a silver door. Kuina approached it then knocked on it.

Knock, knock, knock

Kuina: Larch-kun it's me and Ace.

As she finished her sentence the door opened by itself showing a huge room where stood a huge bed where a beautiful light blue haired woman laid down, she seemed to be of perfect health but she was sleeping, at the side of the bed stood a man sitting in a chair looking at her, he didn't even blinked as he didn't stopped looking at her.

Kuina: Larch-kun i brought food.

While she was talking Ace went closer to the bed standing beside Larch. As Kuina saw this she panicked.

Ace: Brother who is she?

Larch didn't respond neither of them as he continued staring at the woman laying in the bed. He stood up from his chair, ignoring Ace he went to sit at a nearby table. At the same time Kuina went to the table and seated next to him and putted the golden tray in front of him.

Larch: Thank you Kuina.

Saying that he kissed Kuina in the lips, then turned to the tray and begun eating slowly.

Larch: She is Nojiko.

Ace: What does she has?

Larch: She is in coma.

Ace: Then why do you want the captain of the Heart Pirates. His devil fruit can't do nothing in this case.

Larch: I just want him to put one spell of mine inside her and that will awake her. In case you are wondering i tried it already touching her but it had no effect the only way would be to upgrade the spell itself but that is going to take a longer time and besides it was the original plan, but the moment i saw Law i thought of this.

As they were talking Larch finished his meal. As he stood up he started walking towards the door at the same time Kuina signaled for Ace to follow them.

Arriving at the deck everyone where already waiting for them. Larch leading them it looked as if they were going to war.

Larch: "Nojiko don't worry it will be soon where you will open your eyes to look at the blue sky you always loved."
