Why not do a double upload this week?

“(B/n)?” You lowered your sword, dropping it upon the grass.

“Hey Lil’ Sis,” he smiled from ear to ear. It was him, your brother, that was his long lost nickname he always called you by. You fell forward into his arms for the hug you longed for since his depart years back.

“I thought you were dead,” you sniffled speaking into his chest. Your elder just barely heard you although your speech was muffled through his uniform.

“You were always such a crybaby,” he snickered ruffling your hair.

“Shut up,” you punched your brother in the chest with a large giggle. Just to continue with your fit of tears, holding a hand to your mouth with eyes searing to the tears building in the corners. “C’mon (B/n)…  Dad came home saying you died before his eyes how many years ago? I was fourteen for crying out loud.”

“And now you're 21, Happy Belated Birthday (Y/n),” your brother still wore that shy radiant smile like he always did. It just dawned on you that you completely forgotten about your own birthday. That's when you slumped forwards, mind going blank. “Whoa! You okay?” (B/n) caught you, setting you down upon your knees. Your eyes were blank, lost.

“I… I can't remember my birthday or yours or…”

“Really?” Your brother teared up just seeing how hard you were searching within your battlefield of a mind for such a simple answer. “To be fair… Even with amnesia I've forgotten quite a bit but I never forgot about you-”

“You have amnesia?” You snapped out of your fit of despair, staring at your own sibling as if he were a complete and total stranger to your eyes.

“Yeah… Well I had amnesia,” (B/n) sighed. “After an accident, where I was told a cannon blew up in my face, I went into a coma for years on end. I wasn’t expected to live past a year, so father was told that I passed on. Sorry for being gone for so long sis… I woke up with a mechanical heart, and here I am now,” that was a lot to take in. But you heard every word in which it sank in like stones in water.

“Forget it,” you hugged your brother tighter. “I’m happy you’re alive-”

“(Y/n), why the hell are you hugging a Marine?” your heart froze, you forgot about Sanji, if anything this looks horrible right now. To be hugging an enemy. And with that, you pushed (B/n) away roughly. Sanji stared at you as if betrayed, backing away slowly. “Don't tell me Robin was right… You really are a Government spy, a good one too, and now our crew is in some deep shit?” Your heart thumped and thumped against your chest. This scene looked worse than you could ever imagine. You were digging yourself a grave, and you need to know when to put down the shovel.

“Sanji, you won’t believe it, but this is my brother. H-he’s alive!” you cheered with a faint grin. Sanji won't believe me, if he does… then wow.

“Yeah um… I’m as surprised as you are,” Sanji rubbed his eyes and your brother still stood next to you all tall and proud. Except, your brother wasn't thrilled to find a big name pirate standing before him. You could feel the tension growing between Sanji and (B/n) “Why- what- have we met before?” Sanji couldn’t wrap his head around the situation.

“No,” your brother gave Sanji wild looks, resting a hand upon the handle of a long elegantly curved silver blade of a sword that stretched out behind his through its holster.

“You just look familiar,” Sanji, couldn’t help but to stare now. “Shit…” Sanji’s eyes enlarged, for he quickly took you by the hand. “(Y/n) we should leave-”

“Sanji why?” You dug your heels into the plush ground.

“(Y/n), didn’t Law teach you to have better judgement?” Sanji unintentionally called you stupid, he noticed his mistake before you could and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I get that he’s your long lost brother and all, reminds me of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, but if a Vice Admiral is here, that means he has an entire crew or even a fleet of battleships on standby who knows how far from here ready to attack on any given moment We can’t risk getting caught (Y/n), not now at least” you understood, that fact that your brother was technically the enemy had slipped your mind completely. An enemy is an enemy unless proven otherwise. Family has no status in this cruel world of right and wrong.

“He’s right…” You sigh, waving to your brother with a weak heart ripping at the seams. “Goodbye (B/n), maybe a different time-”

“Are you really going to let a pirate push you around Sis?” You brother called you out but said the wrong words that ignited a flame within your heart. He called Sanji a pirate, like it was a bad thing. Of course, this was a Marine talking...

“Well he’s not wrong,” You tut, snatching your wrist from Sanji and stood before your brother with a look of utter betrayal. Sanji backed away, your brother released the hounds on his own. “You are my brother yes, but you’re also a threat to me and my crew… Sorry that we have to part ways like this but Sanji’s right, we need to leave, you could be someone pretending to be my brother for all I know!” You joined Sanji again, he gladly took your hand into his.

“You made the right decision,” Sanji spoke proudly.

“I Know-”

“I had to search high and low to find you (Y/n). For the last, what… Three years now I’ve been doing everything in my power to save you! Aren’t you tired of running away? It’s because of me the Government hasn’t caught you yet,” This time it was Sanji who stopped, that must not be good in the slightest. You bit your lip, whining, you could've made it back to the ship and escaped by now.

“You heard him right?” Sanji asked of you, you nodded your head. “That sounds fishy doesn’t it?”

“It does…” You sigh.

“(B/n), tell me, how is it that because of you (Y/n) isn’t in the clutches of the World Government?” Sanji tuts, spinning around on his heel and glared at your brother. He didn’t appreciate the fact a pirate was now barking orders of such a high ranking officer. The orders were necessary though, Sanji and (B/n) had understood that for sure.They knew each other like the backs of their hands even though this was their first confrontation.

Your brother sighed, ”I was there when my baby sis was being tested on, it was torture… They literally gutted her and rearranged her body to be the perfect weapon at their disposal. (Y/n) was barely recognizable...” (B/n) was having such a hard time recalling past events while holding down the urge to vomit. One thing you knew for sure, was that your brother wasn’t lying. Everything he just said happened to a T. Even so, your brother pulled out a small photograph from his coat. A picture from your teen years when you were accepted into the Cipher Pol units. Sanji got a good glimpse, taking the photo and awed.

“What type of experiments did they conduct for your entire appearance to change?” Sanji spits with disgust remembering back to Law’s point of view on your experiments. Law was even disgusted with their strives in science.

“I remember you saying sis, that you’d rather be dead than deal with the pain,” (B/n) gradually answered Sanji’s previous question with a pain to his heart. “Even after you escaped your motto was you’d rather die fighting than be their puppet. I’ve done some pretty horrible things recently and you’ll agree,” your brother was purposely putting off the truth in hopes you’d forget. Well, you won’t.

“Get to the point (B/n),” you called him out.

“I was tired of you being tortured so I lowered the severity of your medicines that kept you weak in that lab so that one day you could escape!” Now you were frozen, all along it was your brother who saved you. And all this time… You thought you did it alone. “Now when you joined those Straw Hats… I didn’t agree. Actually I don’t agree with you being a pirate in general but you’re a pirate because you have no other choice. I was fine with you being a Kid or Heart pirate but not a Straw Hat. The Government have their goals set on eliminating your crew, I didn’t want you to be captured again… So I… I… Sabotaged your crew-”

“You bastard,” Sanji lashed out in a blind fury. Your brother stood in place with fear overwhelming his features and his sword drawn. Quickly, you released your shadow bind and reached out, the tip of your personal shadow touched the foot of Sanji’s. You froze him in place to prevent bloodshed.

“Sanji! What’s gotten into you!?”

“You bastard poisoned (Y/n) when she first joined didn't you?!” You gasped hearing Sanji’s claim. “How could a brother try to kill his own sister like that?” Sanji calmed down but he was still seething with red hot fury. “Forget that… My siblings were the same… Heartless monsters.”

“(B/n)... Is this true,” tears were already building up in the corners of your eyes. You already knew the answer, for he stood there with a face of overwhelming guilt. “You fucking jerk! The blame was thrown onto an innocent man, I almost died too!!!”

“That was the point!” Your brother claimed without empathy. “I’d rather you be dead than in the clutches of the World Government again. I went out of my way to personally warn you that the Government has been tracking you and coming as we speak. They’ve been tracking my personal calls since you first escaped! You don’t have much time, switch crews or join the Revolutionary Army for good-”

“I’m not changing crews!” You backed away. “I found home with the Straw Hat Pirates and won’t leave them! I made that mistake once, I won’t make it again,” You quickly grabbed Sanji by the wrist. “I will die fighting… This all could’ve been avoided if you weren’t tracking my movements to begin with. Hope you’re happy that you sent your sister to the grave-”

“Do as I say or else you'll have no choice but to come with me,” (B/n) growled, snatching you by the wrist and kicked at Sanji with a swing of his foot that clashed with the blonde’s chest. Next thing you knew Sanji was lying upon the ground, shivering with pain.

“Sanji!” You gasped, slipping out of (B/n)’s grasp with the help of your devil fruit’s shadow like capabilities and knelt over Sanji who pushed on your face desperately with a hiss.

“Run now,” he grunts, his eyes enlarged suddenly. You saw a swift flash of movement through the reflection of Sanji’s crystal blue orbs. There wasn't enough time to react, there was a blow to your back that caused your bones to crackle. You were on your back, a foot planted into your chest. No matter what you tried, no escape came into light. You were under the hold of Arament haki.

“Well look at that,” your brother tuts. “Even without a devil fruit I'm stronger than you.”

“Says the man who plays dirty,” you tried kicking at your captor but legs weren't long enough to reach.

“Oh shut up,” (B/n) rolled his eyes. “Unlike Smoker and Moriah and Mihawk and everyone else, I'll fulfil my mission for a change. Either die, or come with me. The chance to change has met its expiration date,” the man standing before you held his sword to your throat. Sanji was still recovering from his blow to the chest, blood pooling in his mouth to roll down his cheek. Did (B/n) break his ribs with a simple kick?

“Get Sanji help.”

“What?”

“Get Sanji help!” You repeated while you watched Sanji struggle to flip onto his chest to stand. It was heartbreaking watching his suffering. “You must’ve hit something vital if Sanji is losing that much blood! Just help him and I'll do whatever you say…”

“Shut up,” Sanji winced with a gargle of his blood spilled throat. “Don't give yourself up for me like this… You have Law, and Kid, and Luffy, an-and everyone else back on the ship that want you to have freedom over everything else. Do it for me (Y/n)...” Sanji folded himself over in half, vomiting a mouthful of crimson onto the grass with a pain filled whine. “Sh-shit…” I can barely breath.

Sanji is gladly dying for my escape… I can't even escape my brother's hold on me or release my shadow to protect either of us. I'm done for…

“Please (B/n)... Help him, take a bullet to my head right here right now,” you reached, holding your brother’s foot that kept you pinned. “I choose death over my capture… Thank you for giving me a choice (B/n). You're only doing your job.”

“(Y/n)!” Sanji growled holding a hand to his chest to stand instantly yet with drawbacks for he stumbled. “I told you to fight not give in!” Sanji spun on one foot to high kick your elder in the jaw. It was easily dodged, Sanji fell backwards wheezing. You were granted no openings to attack nor flee.

Sanji’s ribs are no doubt broken and he's punctured his lungs. Soon enough he's going to drown on his own blood and it’s all my fault…

“As if I'd help another pirate,” (B/n) chuckled, slipping a twin barrel revolver from the holster of his belt already loaded and ready to take action. “I'll put him out of his misery though,” he chuckled, pointing the revolver directly at Sanji’s head. Your body froze with dread. This was the end.

“Leave him alone!” You kicked and thrashed.

“Nope, should've thought about that before attacking me,” (B/n) loaded the gun by pulling back the safety with his thumb that rolled the barrels clockwise with a click.

“Stop it!” You shrieked, giving up on your escape and reached out for Sanji. Only your fingertips would brush up against his arm, but he didn't register your touch choking on crimson.

Bang!

The gunshot echoed throughout the atmosphere, blood spilled upon the ground in excessive amounts till all you saw was crimson.
