Lara's POV;

The Marine kid was following us out of the auction house. He was nervously looking at all the glaring people around us. We just have bought three out of ten Devil Fruits that were sold.

On top of that, Lia and I are not the basic human, long-ear humans are of a second class. We are lesser humans. Good enough to grovel at their feet or pleasure them as sex slaves.

But definitely not equals. They saw it as an insult that we were allowed to sit at the same tables and bid for the same goods.

“Ah, here is the first one,” I said in anticipation and watched with a hidden grin how the man that tried to hit on me and Lia came out from behind a wall. He had four guards with him and his friend, who even now was trying to dissuade his friend from doing something stupid.

It seems, however, as if the man has taken a bottle or two of liquor. He was clearly drunk and looked both angry and high and mighty at the same time. “You two long-ear girls can be proud to become my two newest concubines. You'll be a great addition to my growing harem.

Ha, can you see that Habaran, I am going to get twins as my new girls.” The guards around him were looking at us wearily and were not very eager to fight us.

The Marine kid with us looked a little uneasy, his eyes flicked from Lia and me over to the drunken noble. He then took a deep breath and righted his slightly crouched posture. He stepped in front of us and addressed the drunken man directly. “Sir, these two are under the protection of the Marines. An attack on them will equal an attack on the World Government. I highly recommend you to go home and to bed.”

Marine kid does have balls, who would have thought. He was also a lot bigger than what you would first believe. His slouched and timid posture was making him smaller. Before he was only a little bit taller than Lia or I, but now he was at least as tall as Noa, 1.75 m.

“Yes Kabaran, listen to the Marine soldier. We aren't here to get into a fight and those two are known pirates. Attacking them is dangerous,” agreed the friend of Mister Drunk. Mister Drunk swayed a little and then grunted something before turning around and walking shakily down the hallways and out of the auction house.

“I'm sorry for his behaviour,” apologised Mister Drunk's friend with a bow. He and the four guards followed after Mister Drunk.

Marine kid allowed himself to breathe out and his crouched and insecure posture was back. “He, and here I thought I could break some bones.” I clapped Marine kid on the back and walked out as well. Lia followed with a small smile and Marine kid had to pull himself up from the floor, seems like my pat was too strong for him.

Some onlookers were backing off now, they must have heard Marine kid and decided that it wouldn't be profitable to antagonise the Marines, on top of attacking us.

I took a look at a nearby clock and saw that we still had a couple of hours before we had to be at the auction house on grove 1. “Hey Marine kid, is there anything of interest in this part of Sabaody?” I asked, then turned to Lia, “Or do you have something you want to do?”

“No, this island is rather boring after having seen it once. There are a lot of bounty hunters that want to catch us, but they are all weak.” Answered Lia. She gestured with her eyes for me to a nearby alley.

I glanced at the alley and saw a group of four bounty hunters. They were arguing between themselves when suddenly one of them started to flail around. He was grabbing his throat and trying to breathe, but it looked as if he couldn't suck any air in.

His friends were freaking out, they tried to ask what was happening. Suddenly the eyeballs of one of them exploded and he fell down, dead. Now the remaining two were really freaking out. They looked over to us and saw me and Lia. Lia was smiling a little evilly and gave them a wink.

The suffocating bounty hunter was now down as well and the remaining two were aiming their rifles at us. Yet, the chest of one caved in, he died instantly.

The last one pulled the trigger, but the bullet exploded within the barrel and peppered him with shrapnel. They didn't kill him, but he will be heavily scarred.

“Have I told you that I love you?”, I asked. The people close to the alley were running away in fright. The last survivor was crawling away from us, crying and bleeding all over the ground. His three friends were left behind.

“P..please don't kill any more people unprovoked,” stuttered Marine kid suddenly from our side. He was shaking again and looked pale. He was also starring at the three corpses.

Lia grinned up at him and purred her answer. “Oh, but they did provoke me. They were arguing with each other who gets the first go at Lara and me. If that isn't a provocation, then what is?” Marine kid probably wanted to argue that there was no way for us to hear them from in between the general noise of the street, but then saw our ears and wisely shut up.

“Thank you for protecting my purity.” I mimicked the tone of a damsel in distress and even added big teary eyes. I kissed Lia as a reward and skipped down the street. She was standing there, frozen from cuteness overload.

Still, it will become boring if we do nothing but kill the wannabe bounty hunters. Better early than late it seems. “Marine kid, lead us to the human auction house.” It broke Lia out of her stupor, she came up to me and linked her arm with mine.

“I'm ordered to correct you and tell you that this is not an auction to sell slaves, but to legally buy the workforce of public employees.” Replied Marine kid, he was not happy with answering me in such a way. Seems like he is not really in agreement with the working of the World Government.

“But please follow me, the Public Employment Security Office is on grove 1.” He nonetheless led us through the busy streets of grove 2 and over a bridge to grove 1.

We were almost there when we came through a street where everyone was kneeling on the ground, their heads were starring downwards as well. The people had all moved to the side before kneeling down, creating a corridor in the middle.

This can become annoying. “Ah really?” I said out loud, before grabbing the Marine kid and jumping on top of a nearby building. Lia landed silently next to me.

I dropped the Marine kid and looked down the street. Sure enough, there was a group was walking down. Two of them were clearly leading the whole group. They were riding on humans and wore a funny looking suit. One female, the other an older male.

“World Nobles.” Marine kid has started to shake again. However, this was a different kind of shaking. He was angry, his hand was clutching his pistol and his eyes almost shone with hate.

“What have they done to you?” I asked calmly. The female has just stopped and was looking at a rather pretty young woman.

It took the Marine kid a moment to answer. He visibly tried to calm himself down. “They ordered my mother to kill my younger brother because the World Noble was bored. Mother refused and got shot in the head. The World Noble then ordered his guard to kill my brother. I wasn't there at the time, I was inside the Marine Base, going through drills.”

We watched how the female World Noble climbed down from her human steed and walk over to the young woman. She ordered her to look up and took out a perfume bottle. She pointed it at the kneeling and shaking woman and sprayed something into the face of the woman.

There wasn't perfume inside the bottle. It was some kind of acid. “This will be your lecture for thinking you are prettier than I,” said the female World Noble before climbing back on her human steed.

The woman tried to mute her pained screams, a man at her side was hugging her and putting his arm into her mouth to bite down on. He too was trying to suppress any sound. It was obvious that the woman was biting down hard.

The group left and slowly the people started to stand up. Some rushed to the now openly crying and screaming woman to help.

I grabbed the Marine kid and jumped down, right next to the crying woman and her male friend. He was trying to comfort her, telling her that he still loves her and that they would overcome this together.

They only noticed me and the Marine kid when someone in the crowd recognised me and Lia. Silent whispers of pirates and wild suggestions about our intentions went through the crowd.

The lover of the woman looked up to us, he was crying as well. He knew who I was as well and tried to bring his girlfriend or wife into a position behind himself. “Is... is there something I can do for you Lady Slicer?” He asked in a forced calm tone.

“Is she your wife?” I asked.

He nodded slowly, not sure of my intention. “Let me see her,” I said. He looked as if he wanted to protest, the people around us were asking each other if I would further harm the couple.

“If you want to I can heal her,” I offered. He stopped breathing and looked back at his wife, who was trying to look at me.

Her face was a mess. The skin has melted together, it was bleeding strongly. Her nose was partially dissolved, one of her eyes was gone and her hair has fallen out where the acid has hit her.

“I..can't give you much in return. We aren't rich, I could...could offer myself in servitude.” I raised an eyebrow at the offer. This man does really love his wife if he is willingly giving himself over into slavery.

“No Hamta, you don't have to, not for me!” Pleaded his wife. I ignored her pleas and stepped forward. I put my hand on her head and partially activated my Angel Devil Fruit. A yellow glow spread over her head and her husband grabbed her hand in worry. It began to heal the wounds she suffered.

Her hair grew back, the skin straightened itself and became smooth again. Her eye regrew and her nose became whole again. She was healed after five seconds. I stopped my power and lifted my hand. The people could see her and let out sounds of shock and awe at what they saw.

She was beautiful again and any sign of the damage done by the acid was gone. Her husband let out a muffled sob and hugged her tightly. She touched her face in wonder while crying silent tears of joy.

“I don't need a slave. Be happy with your wife,” I said and turned around. The crowd made room for Lia, me and the Marine kid. Most of them were looking at me with awe and a lot of them nodded in thanks or were verbally thanking me.

“Isn't it nice to know that you are protecting the World Nobles from people like me?” I asked the Marine kid once we were out of the street. He did not answer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We could now see the massive auction house, people were already streaming inside. “And have you?” I asked Lia.

“Sure I did. They will die within a day or two,” answered Lia with a pleased smile.

We both have come up with ways to kill any World Noble we come across, while not being the obvious cause for their death. I had used slight vibration powers to stress their cardiac valves and any tendons that are needed for the heart. There are now a great many tiny ruptures inside them and the next time their heart has to beat at a fast rate they will rip. The heart will no longer be able to keep the blood from flowing back into the heart and lung. They will die shortly after.

While Lia did something similar, she has compressed a vein inside their head and heart. It will partially stop the blood flow and cause the area around to suffer from oxygen shortage. Once enough cells died off they will get a heart attack or a stroke. All within a day or two.

The Marine kid looked between us and then gained a wide pleased smile. He was almost skipping the rest of the way.

We quickly got into the auction house and got our number. We were an hour early The lines were not yet completely filled and I couldn't see the Straw Hats as well.

Lia leaned over to me and whispered in my ear. “Law just came inside.” I looked over to where she was pointing and saw Law sitting down in the last line of seats. He crossed his arms and leaned back, eyes fixed on the front and the many other onlookers.

“He might use his Devil Fruit to get some money,” I explained why he is here. “Might be interesting to greet him,”I added and walked over to him.

He noticed us before we have reached him, his eyes widened slightly before he smiled calmly. “Must be my lucky day if the Blood Twins are coming over to greet me in person,” he said in greeting.

“Awawa, they have a combined bounty of 750 million. Boss, they are dangerous,” said the polar bear mink that sat next to him. He was rubbing his large paws in concern.

“I know Bepo, but they don't look as if they want to fight,” replied Law unconcerned of his subordinates worries. “So, what can I do for you?” He then asked me.

“We were just in need of a seat. And there is no good honest company here in this house. I thought we might go to the only somewhat honest man and exchange some stories,” I answered.

Law nudged the man sitting on his right. “Well, you heard the lady. Make room Shachi you can't let the ladies stand around.” The man grumbled something, but stood up and made room for me and Lia.

We sat down, me next to Law and Lia leaning into me. The Marine kid has had to stand behind the seat. “Who's your pet?” Asked Law with a side glance at the Marine kid.

“That's our guide. Not important, but please don't mess his body up. We promised to bring him back without damage. It's about the insurance, you know,” I answered. Marine kid was trying to stay calm but failed miserably. He looked to be especially afraid of Bepo's teeth.

“Ah yes, it would be a pity to lose your insurance. You've said you want to trade stories? You can start then, tell me is it true what you have done on Enies Lobby?”

I raised an eyebrow and noticed with amusement how some of his men blushed. “You have to clarify what you mean with that. I did a lot of things.”

“There are rumours that you killed the main trainer of the CP agents, someone that was rumoured to be on the low admiral level in strength. A Zoan Devil Fruit user with considerable skill in the Marine Skills and his fruit.” He specified.

I made it look as if I was thinking about it, before answering with a snap of my fingers. “Hmm, ah yes, there was he someone that could transform into a pangolin and had an annoying clown mask. If he was the one you think he was, then yes I did. He was annoying to fight in close combat, but had the weakness of most.”

“Oho, and what weakness is that?” Asked Law interested.

“He has liquid inside his body,” I answered with a wide grin. He looked a little stupefied before laughing loudly.

It took him a moment to stop laughing. People around us were angrily turning around annoyed by the loud noise, only to hastily turn back when they saw who was laughing. “Liquid, haha. Yes indeed, most have that weakness.”

“Ehm, Boss, I don't get it,” said Bepo with a raised paw.

“Bepo, the bounty poster of Slicer Lara has written on it that she can manipulate sound and let things vibrate. Liquid, especially water, conducts vibration very well. If she were to let your body vibrate it would do so easily. She must have hit him and let his body vibrate so strongly that it ripped itself apart from the insides. You can't protect yourself against such an attack without being a Logia user. And even then, I doubt that Lara here does not know about Armament Haki.” he explained and started to laugh again.

Bepo was looking at me with an open maw and then tried to put more distance between himself and me, while not leaving his seat. It looked funny.

“Boss Kid, there are...,” said suddenly someone from behind us.

“Hm? Oh, that are some familiar faces. North Blue's 200 million Bounty Trafalgar Law and East Blues 450 million and 300 million Slicer Lara and True Shot Lia. I've heard some pretty crazy rumours about these three.” Law showed Captain Kid his middle finger, while I stuck my tongue out. “And they lack in manners as well.” Kid and his crew walked a little bit away from me and Law. They were leaning on the fence that stood behind the last line.

Suddenly the speakers clacked and a man wearing some strange dress jumped on stage. “Thank you for waiting, ladies and gentlemen. Today's auction will start now and I can tell you, we have some fine merchandise! My name is Mister Disco and I will be your auctioneer for today's auction. ”

Lara's POV;

“hehehe,” I am sneaky sneaky.

With silent shoes made I my way over to my prey.

“hehehehehehe,” almost there, almost there.

I was just about to reach my target, when it suddenly and without any forewarning! Turned around and smiled at me, my prey was smiling down at me! Prey does not have to smile. It has to quiver in fear! FEAR!

Third Person's POV;

Lia found it amusing that Lara really believed that she was silently sneaking up on her. The extremely cute giggling Lara was doing every three steps were a sight to see.

“Roarw!” Lara, who was looking up at Lia with eyes that were way too thin for someone surprised, 'rawed' at Lia with a raised hand as a paw and a cute tiger-kitten voice. No, seriously, Lara has used her Devil Fruit power to make her voice sound like a tiger-kitten.

That was too much for Lia and the silently watching crew, with an loud awe sound jumped Lia at Lara. She hugged the stuffing out of Lara, who in return looked dreamily into nothing.

____: Sorry guys, kinda lost my interest now, maybe if I manage to escape the bed trap again. Evil beings, these beds. °Shudder°
