Chapter 10: The Power of Shanks

"I'm about to cut this thing off me..."

"Might I agree with you Zoro-ya," Law and Zoro stood side by side, fiddling with the false patch of white hair glued to their faces. Zoro had a sword drawn, trying to slash the large moustache from his upper lip. Franky and Luffy both had to pull on the Swordsman's dominant arm in order to prevent him from cutting himself or the disguise. Zoro always had to be the difficult one, there was no way around it.

"I can't stick around in the Tournament long unfortunately..." Law spoke over the pained strains of resistance that broke up Zoro's fit. The three males stared at him with wild looks behind them. "I'll be around long enough to help rid of most if not all of our Tournament Block before I need to go assist in the delivery of Caesar," the males all nodded showing they understood.

Zoro finally, gave in with the attempts to destroy his moustache. "I appreciate your efforts in helping us get (Y/n) back," Zoro bowed his head as a sign of gratitude. Law clicked his tongue with disgust, rolling his eyes of gold.

"(Y/n)-ya more than likely got captured because I have ties with Joker," Law finally admitted he felt in debt to regain your possession.

Zoro's calm features scrunched up with disgust. "Well that changes the whole story," the Swordsman lunged out and took hold of Law by the throat but didn't close his grip. Law allowed such a reaction. "I thought you were helping us because you could. Now you're saying you're the reason why (Y/n)'s freedom is on the line?" It was a wordless reply, Law didn't need to confirm such an assumption.

"Zoro..." Luffy struggled to even react as even he were astonished by the claim. "I'm sure Tra-Guy can explain."

"Well... Go on," Zoro barked, a firm hold still kept on the male's neck.

"Joker has been a thorn in my side since I were a child. One of his lackeys more than likely were spying on us back on the ship and took (Y/n)-ya hostage since she were on the night shift... In technicality, I'm partially responsible not entirely," there was a thick silence. Zoro stared daggers at Law, a stare that loosened in time. Until he finally released the Surgeon, resting said hand on the handle to a sword strapped to his hip.

"You're not responsible at all jackass," Zoro cursed. "I was supposed to be on the Night shift the night (Y/n) got captured. So if anything I'm to blame."

"That stings Bro..." Franky felt Zoro pain.

"I don't need pity," Zoro spits. "I'll win this damned Tournament," a claim full of pride. Zoro reached for one of his three swords, pulling the sword with the widest blade out from it's sheath and held it out before Luffy, Franky, and Law with a fierce look in his eye of steel. "I'll win this Tournament with the power of (Y/n) and Shanks behind me."

"Holy cow Zoro!" Luffy's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "How did you get Shanks' sword!?"

"He gave it to (Y/n) when we were on break over the last two years... She left it behind."

"Block 2... Enter the Colosseum," someone spoke into a series of Transponder Snails located throughout the Colosseum signalling it were Showtime for their designated section. Zoro sheathed the sword, following everyone out as a gate opened allowing passage.

The four males fought within the Colosseum with vigor. Cutting down any participants who came within range. Zoro was racking up such a high count of bodies, Law didn't bother with anymore people knowing he had everything under control. "Room," Law encased the Colosseum with his blue orb, just to teleport out within the second he called upon the ability. He shed his disguise, then teleported again to the destined meeting spot where Nami, Usopp, and Sanji all had Caesar Clown under control.

Caesar was the reason why the crew were on the island in the first place. He were an ally to Doflamingo that Law took as a hostage, in return Doflamingo took you as hostage to play it even.

Considerably late, Doflamingo did eventually show up at Green Bit, alone, just as agreed. "Hmmm I see Caesar looks well cared for," Doflamingo chuckled thereafter holding out his arms expecting Caesar right then and there. Sanji and Nami shoved Caesar forwards, instead, Law held out his arm stopping the pass off.

"Where's (Y/n)?" Law huffed. I'm aware that this Bastard has the girl put up as a prize in his Tournament, but if he plans to stiff me then I'll kill him right here... "Part of the agreement of handing Caesar over is to get (Y/n) back in return. No girl, no deal," upon finishing the retelling of the guidelines of the trade, Law's eyes enlarged and breath caught within his throat. A sword of black and jade hung from Doflamingo's hip from within a sheath. He isn't a swordsman, but if that is (Y/n), why is she in weapon form? She isn't supposed to be able to do that, not unless Zoro is around that is. Law stopped thinking, an idea started buzzing about his head that blocked all other thoughts. He closed his eyes for only a split second and let his haki do the talking...

There's a presence coming off the sword... Why would Doflamingo so carelessly hide her in plain sight?

Law heard Nami gasp, yes, she saw you as well. Sanji was quick and clasped a hand over Nami's mouth. Your safety was on the line. "The girl isn't here, rather she's in a secret location just in case this deal was a no go," Doflamingo chuckled, braiding his fingers together. "(Y/n) was quite a handful I must say... She's destroyed nearly everything within my private quarters."

"Sounds like her," Sanji joked around to play everything off as an act.

"Quit it with the small talk and give us (Y/n) back!" Nami cried.

"He's not gonna give her to us..." Law spoke under his breath only for Nami and Sanji to hear. How are we going to get her? This is clearly a trap. Law grits his teeth, time is running out. I never realized my 'Room' were still active... A playful smirk played across Law face. "Shambles," the smirk still lied plastered across the ravenette's face. One second you were strapped to Doflamingo's hip, and lying within Law's inked palms the next.
