Chapter - 49

"What have you done?" He asked turning to his enemy turned comrade Borsalino.

Kizaru regarded the blonde man for a second before answering. "Secured our future." He answered walking back in the castle muttering something about a new suit.

Marco just shook his head. What the hell was that supposed to mean? He couldn't help but have a bad feeling. However he wouldn't betray Ace's brothers and Blackbeard's killer, this was his new family now.

Luffy landed on the private island in the middle of the night, somewhere in the north blue a day later. The island itself was large and looked about half the size of Syrup Island. Hard to miss if you weren't looking for it. Taking flight once more he could see a large mansion near the back end of the island.

Landing inside the wooden fences he could clearly read the sign on fence.

'Sakazuki Residence'. Luffy had finally arrived and after waiting nearly a week he would finally have his vengeance.

The winged Luffy stalked over to the porch, knocking the reinforced door down with ease. The House was immediately filled heavy footsteps from everywhere. The entire family must've been there— it was all the better.

Preparing for the assault Luffy covered his forearms with hellfire. As much as he wanted to burn the house down, that would bring no satisfaction.

The first man that approached him was a man he could've sworn was Akainu but he looked slightly younger.

"W-what the f-fuck are y-you." The man could barley speak filled with fear. A second later the high councilor shredded his stomach open with a simple strike.

"You damn bastard you killed him!" Another man even younger than the last screamed at him.

"When my father gets here! He'll rip your head off!" The young man spoke again.

Luffy pointed his index finger directly at the man's torso.

In a heartbeat the man lay on the ground, half a dozen burning holes through his chest.

The footsteps upstairs could be heard softening. Luffy slowly walked up the steps. Opening each door one by one he would find different family members— some he assumed were aunts, nephews, and uncles. He slaughtered them all with no mercy ignoring their desperate cry's for him to stop. The anger and pain of losing everything he'd ever loved consuming him.

Once Luffy reached the last bedroom he knocked it open with a flick of the wrist, breaking the lock. On the bed there was a mother holding a child in her arms with a large kitchen knife.

"Stay back you fucking devil or I'll slit your throat."

Luffy examined the two. Her daughter was crying for her father.

"Mrs. Sakazuki?" Luffy's demonic cold voice said sending chills down the woman's spine, silently wishing her husband was there.

"Y-yes, I'm her." She said unsurely.

Wordlessly the demon approached the two. The mother began stabbing the high councilor to no effect. He simply continued his movement snatching a golden heart locket from her neck. The mother continued to shrink back in fear holding her child.

"Do you know my dad?" The child asked innocently. Luffy ignored them using his hellfire to weld the window shut.

"Your dad is dead, you'll see him soon." Luffy said turning leaving the two to scream after him.

"Have you no mercy! We know who you are and we're so sorry for what happened! You don't have to do this!" The woman pleaded on her knees crying and begging him to spare their lives.

"Your wrong, I do have to do this." He coldly replied before he shut the door, flicking hellfire onto the bed immediately setting it ablaze—there was no way to stop it. His hellfire burned until the selected target is nothing but ashes.

Shutting the door he could hear them banging on it screaming to let them out. He simply welded the bedroom door short before exiting the house. Turning back to the house he could still hear the bloodcurdling screams fill the night sky. Eventually they died out and the flames burned the hollow mansion to the ground.

Grasping Akainu's daughter's necklace he flew off towards the revolutionary base.

Akainu woke up in a daze trying to remember the last thing he saw before the blackout. It was all hazy after he saw Monkey D. Luffy take that form, after the death of his pirate girlfriend.

The massive headache was killing him. Trying to move he realized he was missing his right arm and left leg. All the memories came rushing back to him in an instant. He needed to escape— the former admiral tried to activate his fruit to no avail. His body was still wracked with pain and felt weaker than he had in his entire life.

Just then the door opened revealing his comrade Basalino Kizaru.

"Borsalino! Never had I been happier to see you! Help me escape!" Akainu yelled trying to get Kizaru to help him break his chains.

The sharply dressed man in his new black suit made no move to help him.

"Kizaru what are yo—" he was cut off.

"Fucking disgrace." Kizaru said dropping his usual carefree goofy attitude. "I suggested you focus on straw hat and you murder his girlfriend—You reap what you sow Akainu." Kizaru ignored the man's desperate screams to explain himself.

"I pledged myself to the high councilor's cause. I no longer serve your so called bullshit justice." Kizaru stated ready to leave.

"After all you did, he trusts you?! How?! What the hell did you do?! KIZARU!!" Akainu screamed thrashing himself in his chains.

" Have a good trip, so long, Sakazuki." Borsalino said slamming the door behind him.

Akainu could slightly feel his power coming back. Just barley the lava within his body burned like a dying candle.

The door opened revealing the former straw hat captain. He was back to his original form just staring at the former fleet admiral.

"I'm sure your pleased you recruited my former subordinate. Just know I'll never join you, I'll never follow scum like that treacherous bastard." Akainu said with disgust.

Luffy just put his hands in pockets starting to heartily laugh at the former commander.

"I would never allow cripple scum to follow me. As a limbless deaf, dumb, and blind souvenir maybe. I'm here for retribution." Luffy said plainly.

It was now Akainu's turn to laugh.

"You came for an apology huh? Your girlfriend was a Pirate, she deserved death."

Luffy lost his cool throwing two hard punches to Akainu's face shutting him up.

The hat covered the former straw hat captain's eyes. "I told you to let her go, to be a man and fight your own battles. Like a coward you went after her." The memories suddenly coming back to Luffy.

Putting his forearm to Akainu's throat and pushing him into the wall.
