What's up my Mias! Yes, I'm calling my readers and followers Mias. Don't judge me. Anyway I have a new chapter for you. Yes, you! And if you can tell by the title you'll be "What?!" or "I don't get it?!". Who saw this coming ? *raising hand*. Of course I saw this coming I'm the freaking author. Anyway, here is the 7th chapter.
[At the mansion]
"So this is the man who has a higher bounty than Luffy ?" Erza asked.
"Yeah." Nami said.
"Why are you here ?" Zoro asked.
"For your information, I am chasing the exact same person who you are chasing." Law said.
"But the man is already in custody." Lucy said.
"I'm not sure about that." Law said with a grin.
"What is that suppose to mean ?" Ciel asked.
"You'll see tomorrow." he said.
"Now that I think about it, that Grim Reaper said that she has to collect a soul tonight." Nami said.
"Probably someone very ill." Franky said.
"Anyway, where is the red haired girl ?" Natsu asked.
"He was a boy, Natsu." Lucy said.
"Was he ? Because she had long hair." Luffy said.
"Luffy and his simpleness." Ussop said with a sighed
"Sebastian, prepare the guest bedroom. If something goes wrong tomorrow we need these people to help. Including Law." Ciel said.
"Yes, my young Lord." Sebastian said with a bow.
"If what your saying is right, then I want you to help us." Ciel said.
"Of course." Law said.
"Yeah! We have another alliance!" Luffy said with a smile.
"Unless he is right, Luffy." Robin said.
"That's unfair." Luffy pouted.
[The next day]
Natsu woke up and saw that the boys were still fast asleep.(The boys and girls were separated from each other.) Then Natsu heard a crash coming from the study room.
"Guys wake up! I heard a crash!" Natsu said as he was shaking the guys.
Then crashing was heard again.
"What was that ?!" Luffy said.
"Guys did you hear that!" Nami said as she opened the door with the other girls behind her.
"It's coming from the study room." Erza said.
Everyone went running to the study. As they were in front of the door, they can still here crashing.
"What's going on here ?!" Gray said as he open the door.
On the floor were tea cups smashed. Ciel didn't look happy.
"What's going on ?!" Elfman asked.
"Read today's newspaper." Sebastian said as he handed them the newspaper.
"What ?!" Nami said.
"What is it ?" Juvia asked.
"The guy that was held in custody got killed in the cart that was suppose to transfer him to jail." she said.
"What ?!" they all said.
"How ?!" Wendy asked.
"It said that the murderer knocked the driver and guard unconscious; took the keys and killed the man right there." Sebastian said.
"How can we let a murderer get away ?!" Ciel shouted.
"I told you." Law said cooly. "Now do you need my help or not ?"
"Yes, let's go to the crime scene." Ciel said, cooling himself down.
"Yeah! Another alliance!" Luffy shouted.
Law just groaned, thinking on the horrible things that had happened during the alliance.
"Oh and young master, there is a message from the queen." Sebastian said as he gave him an envelope.
"Let me see." Ciel asked. Sebastian gave him the message and Ciel sat back down on his seat and opened it with his envelope opener.
"Why is the queen personally asking Ciel-san to investigate this. Isn't he detective already ?" Robin asked.
"No, you see; my young master is the queen's guard dog. And he is not a detective, he is the head of the toy making Funtomhive." Sebastian said.
"Not bad for a kid." Gajeel said.
"The queen is asking us to solve the mystery that just happened today. Sebastian, prepare a cart. We are going there." Ciel said.
"Yes, my young lord." Sebastian said.
[At the crime scene]
"Who was this man ?" the policeman, Arthur Randall, asked.
"His name was John Smith. He was caught by Mister Ciel. Said that he caught a hostage." a fellow policeman asked.
"And how is the hostage ?" he asked.
"She is at home with her family. We are still asking her questions." the man said.
"May I see the body." Ciel asked as he walked up to the crime scene.
"Mister Ciel, it's unexpected to see you here. But you have to leave. Even though you are the queen's guard dog." Arthur said.
"Then let me see the profile." Ciel asked.
"Fine, it looked like the man you caught wasn't the murderer." he said.
Ciel gave back the files and said a simple thank you. Ciel went back with the group.
"So what now ?" Erza asked.
"We have to go to the Undertaker." Ciel said.
"Who is that ?" Brook asked. (By the way, he is wearing a mask)
"He's a man that makes coffins." Sebastian said.
[Outside the building where the Undertaker works]
"This place is scary." Ussop said while holding Chopper.
"Man up." Elfman said.
"Let's go." Ciel said as he went inside with the others behind him. "Is anyone here ?"
"Welcome, it's so nice to see you Mister Ciel." a voice said. Suddenly the coffin in front of them opened and revealed the Undertaker.
"Kyaaaaahhhh!!!!" Ussop and Chopper screamed.
"It's alright. He is the Undertaker." Sebastian said.
"I see you have company. Please come in." he said.
"I have a question about the corpse that was in the police cart." Ciel said.
"Ah yes, that man. I would tell you, until you make me laugh." he said.
"Give Brook a try. He makes jokes." Luffy said.
"Go ahead." Sebastian said.
"Well, I almost had heart attack when Mister Undertaker came through the coffin. Though I am a skeleton so, I DON'T HAVE A HEART!" Brook shouted. The joke made the Undertaker laugh.
"You there will be a great showman. Though. I never believed that I would meet a skeleton. Is this magic ?" he asked.
"Kinda." Zoro said.
"Well about the dead body, it was interesting because he didn't have a heart. Literally." he said.
"That's like one of Law's ability." Ussop said as he looked at Law.
"I swear I didn't do it." Law said.
"Now what do we do ?" Lucy asked.
"I guess we have to find the murderer." Ciel said.
That is all I have today. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that we hit over 100 reads. The bad news is that I start school on Monday. And I might not be able to update New World Academy fast. So that is all I got to say. I will see you at the next chapter.
