Zoro's P.O.V.

After Law and Luffy left, I felt quite guilty...the truth is that I already knew that Sabo left and I already knew the reason why he left...

· · ·Flashback· · ·

I was outside to give people some drinks when my eye caught Sabo exiting the front door. I decided to ignore it at first but seeing his expression, he looked rather pissed and quite upset. I immediately stopped what I was doing and approached ran towards him.

"Sabo! Oi, Sabo!" I called out but he completely ignored me.

I reached him and grabbed his shoulder. He stopped. I could see pain inside his hazel eyes and his eyebrows were knitted from anger.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"None of your business" He snapped and jerked away.

"Oi Sabo! You're not getting away with this" I grabbed his hand and held it tight, blocking his escape.

"Leave me fucking alone!" He yelled but I didn't budge.

"Sabo, this is me you're talking to. Tell me what's going on or else I'll tell everyone" I said, a sound of threat in my voice.

"Ugh...Ace texted me to meet him at the square because he has doubts about us..." He said and my eyes widened.

"Ace? Are you sure?" I asked in disbelief.

"Do you think I'd be like that if I wasn't serious?" He said and frustration was clear on his face.

"No..." I sighed.

I can't believe it...

"Ace wouldn't do something like that Sabo...he loves you" I tried to calm him.

"Yeah but look at that!" He said.

"Maybe he got drunk and he's doing stupid things...calm down Sabo..." I tried my best but I didn't seem to achieve anything.

"I don't know...I'm going there and you're not changing my mind...and don't you dare say anything. I don't want anyone to have a bad impression about Ace..." He barked and escaped my grip.

Before I could form a single word, he had already walked away...

· · ·Back To Present· · ·

I've been debating with myself for the past ten minutes whether to tell that to Sanji or not...

One one hand, I shouldn't tell because Sabo told me not to do that, but on the latter, Sanji and the others deserve to know...Besides, I don't really think that Ace would do something like that to be honest...

Well, I decided to tell him. I turned my head to him who was sitting next to me.

"Sanji..." I hesitantly called his name.

"Yeah?" He looked at me.

"I know why Sabo left..." I said.

"What? How?" I saw more worry coming out of him.

"I saw him when he left...he told me that..." I paused.

"He told you what?" He urged me to speak.

"He told me that Ace...texted him to meet him at the square because he has doubts about their relationship..." I finally spitted out the bitter truth.

"Huh? No way...Ace wouldn't do that...I don't wanna believe this" Sanji said and I could confusion mixing with his worry.

"That's what I'm thinking...Sabo believed it..." I said in disappointment.

"Do you think that Sabo doesn't trust Ace?" He said and maybe he's right.

"That's not good...well Ace hasn't given any signs to Sabo that caused him not to trust him" I said.

"Sabo is probably scared..." Sanji said and I believe that. "He doesn't want to lose Ace..." He continued.

I was about to speak, but I suddenly heard keys twisting from the door.

Ace's P.O.V.

It was a great night out, I'm glad that Thatch had a lot of fun. We were quite a lot of people. It was me, Marco, Thatch of course, Jozu, Vista and a lot more...

I checked at the time and it was almost 4 a.m.

After saying goodnight to my lads, I jumped into my car and went back home. I avoided getting drunk today because I have a gorgeous man waiting for me at home.

As I arrived home and unlocked the door, I was literally surprised by the atmosphere. It was dark and only a small light came from the living room. It was very clean like no party was thrown here a few hours ago. I walked inside to find Zoro and Sanji sitting on the couch.

"Oh..." Zoro said when he saw me.

A guilty expression coated their faces and I became more confused. Sanji's body tensed.

"Guys? What the hell is going on? Are we preparing anyone's funeral?" I mocked.

"Ace...sit down..." Sanji said and signaled me to sit down on the couch next to him. 

"Where's everyone? We threw a party earlier right?" I asked. Worry started to take place in my mind. Something bad happened and I'm 100% sure about this.

"Look, Ace...the truth is that...Sabo is not home...and he is kind of mad at you...for something that you didn't do" Zoro told me and I was extremely confused.

"Eh? What? I don't understand..." I said trying to make my mind clear.

"I saw Sabo before he left and he told me that you texted him, saying that you have doubts about your relationship and that you want to talk about it privately at the square" Zoro continued and a huge shock immediately pierced my body.

"Wh-what? I didn't even talk to Sabo while I was there..." I whispered...My voice wouldn't come out no more.

"I didn't believe you'd ever do that...I know you love Sabo..." Sanji told me and I felt quite relieved.

"Who did this to him?" I asked but I already know that they have no clue what the answer is.

"I wish we knew" He answered and gave me a sad look.

"Where are Law and Luffy?" I asked.

"Oh right...Luffy passed out and Law took him to the hospital" Zoro answered. 

"He passed out?" I asked them and they nodded.

"Yeah...he gulped down a whole glass of vodka" Sanji said.

Something is wrong...very wrong...

I can't believe that Sabo doesn't trust me...well...it was my number after all...If I was in his shoes I'd do the same thing...

And Luffy passing out makes things even worse...

Who could have done something like that?

It must be someone who really hates us...especially Sabo...

I rested my elbows on my knees and ran a hand through my hair.

This is too much...

Zoro and Sanji were both silent.

As I was thinking about all that mess that's happening right now, I suddenly heard keys echoing from the front door.

Soon enough, Law and Luffy appeared in the living room.

"Ace! Um...I'm sorry..." Luffy apologized.

"For what?" I asked.

"Don't bother...he knows..." Sanji informed them, referring to me.

"He also know about the fake messages..." Zoro said.

"Fake messages?" Law asked raising an eyebrow.

"Sabo left because he received messages from Ace when in reality, Ace didn't message Sabo at all during the party..." Zoro continued.

"And the messages said to meet him at the square because Ace has doubts about their relationship" Sanji finished the sentence.

"Something that I'd never do" I remarked and Luffy's eyes widened while Law's eyebrows were knitted together.

"So if you didn't do it, who did it?" Law asked.

"If I knew, I wouldn't be here" I rolled my eyes.

"That's the point you idiot. If Sabo received the messages with your number showing, but you didn't do it, then that means that somebody grabbed your phone" He said explained his theory.

"My phone was in my pocket all the time and nobody knows my password except for Sabo" I told him. "Plus...let me check my messages" I continued and pulled my phone from my pocket.

I unlocked it and saw the messages.

A flash crept through my head.

"Are you sure that no one grabbed your phone?" Luffy asked me again, pointing out the words.

"Wait..." I said and half closed my eyes to think.

· · ·Flashback· · ·

"And then that idiot fell off the stairs" Marco finished his story which was humiliating Thatch and everybody laughed.

"Cheers for the birthday boy" Vista said and raised his glass.

"Thanks you guys" Thatch said and seeing him having that smile on his face made me smile back.

We all cheered and drank from our beers.

We were laughing and having fun and then a girl approached our table.

"Um excuse me, can somebody lend me his phone to make an important phone call? You see I've ran out of data and I don't have any more money on my account" She said.

Oh hey I know her. She has long black straight hair that goes shorter at the sides of her face, big dark blue eyes, a huge forehead, big boobs, she's wearing big golden snake earrings. We share a few classes together at campus. But I have no idea what her name is. I think it's...Cock?...or something that has to do with a penis anyway...

"No, sorry..." Marco shrugged.

"Oh, I do. Here" I unlocked my phone and gave it to her.

"Thank you so much sweetie!" She smiled and disappeared with my phone.

She probably went outside because it's pretty loud in here, I don't blame her.

After about five minutes later she returned and handed me my phone.

"Thanks again, have fun" She winked and went back at her table where a lot of familiar girls from the campus were sitting such as Perona, Tashigi, Khalifa, and Rebecca.

These girls are always at our parties. Weird.

I ignored it and turned back at the conversation with the guys.

· · ·Back To Present· · ·

"Oh my God..." I whispered.

"What?" Zoro asked.

"It was her...Boa Hancock did it...She came and asked if anyone could give her their phone...And I, the idiot, gave it to her..." I said and grabbed my forehead.

"You asshole never trust women!" Luffy said in a demanding tone.

I went at the calls. Indeed, there weren't any calls that represented unknown numbers on my phone. She didn't call anyone...

"She deleted the messages and there are no calls...ugh I'm so fucking stupid..." I said and pulled my hair.

"So this is some sort of a plan. Someone is stalking us..." Sanji said and grabbed his chin. "Luffy, did you find out what was wrong with you?" He asked my younger brother.

"Oh yeah, I was drugged with barbital...It turned out that it was from the vodka and that means that Sabo is drugged too..." He answered.

"Oh fuck..." I said.

"Someone who really hates Sabo must be behind this...and that person who planned to send him the messages must be the one who was about to meet him there...and by drugging him, it means that he might be unconscious right now..." Zoro said and I gasped from fear.

"Oh my God..." I said and I could feel my heart pounding even faster...

"Hey, I think I can find where he is" Luffy said, I could see hope in his large eyes.

"How?" I asked.

"I can find the location of his phone with an app that I downloaded on my phone, just a few clicks and we'll find him" He said and I could see a hint of smile on his small lips.

He opened his phone and started tapping on the screen while the rest of us waited patiently.

A few moments later, he spoke up.

"Bingo! It seems that he's still at the square guys! That's great!" He cheered and we all stood up.

"Let's get there as fast as we can" I said and within seconds, we were all inside Law's car and went at the square.

Sabo...I hope we'll find you...
