The black liquid dripped onto the floor when Ichiji let it go. He picked Sanji's lifeless body up from the ground and held him in his arms.

"YOU SICK BASTARD!" Zoro shouted, attempting to shuffle up to Ichiji and bite his ankles.

"So long Roronoa, I must now take care of my brother." Ichiji shook Zoro off and continued forward to the exit of the lab.

"WAIT!"

"Hm?"

"GOD IS GOING TO SLIT YOUR THROAT AND SEND YOUR ASS TO HELL! KARMA WILL SHOOT YOU ALL IN THE FOOT AND-MHMPH!"

One of the men pulled a cloth around Zoro's mouth to stop him from cursing out royalty.

"Quiet!" He said, grabbing Zoro and pulling him off the floor and onto his feet. Zoro bit at the cloth and tried to attack Ichiji, but he was restrained.

"I'll see you, quite soon Roronoa. I'll take good care of your friend." Ichiji left the room, Sanji still cradled in his arms. Zoro was still spasming and trying to struggle, but he was weak and starved, so he eventually fell to his knees from his lack of energy.

Leave.. Sanji....

Alone......

...

"Shit, shit,shit,shit,shit!" 

This was the first time that the crew had seen Luffy so distressed. He was usually cool about this kind of thing, but something seemed... different about him.

"Luffy, calm down. We'll think of something." Nami said.

"NO! Our crew mates are dying, our friends are dying!" Luffy said, punching the wooden table in front of him.

"We'll work something out, trust me." Nami said, walking closer to Luffy and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"FUCK!"

SLAP

Nami flew backwards and landed in Robins arms, who happened to be behind her. Luffy breathed heavily and clenched his fists.

"What the fuck Luffy!?" Usopp stepped in front of him, facing the enraged beast.

Nami held her face in pain as a large red mark slowly appeared.

"Why would you hit Nami?! She did nothing wrong!" Usopp said, grabbing Luffy by his shoulders.

Luffy didn't say anything. He just looked at the ground as his face darkened.

"Say something!" Usopp demanded.

"Let. Go." 

Usopp stepped back, hearing Robin helping Nami behind him.

"There's something wrong with you Luffy. I'll take you to Chopper, he'll help you calm down."

Usopp took Luffy's hand, but it didn't last long.

"FUCK OFF!" Luffy pulled his hand away turned, hiding his face from the rest of the crew. He didn't want them to see him cry.

Usopp sighed and looked over to Robin and Nami. They both nodded. They had to do something to calm their captain down.

"Sanji...Zoro..." Luffy's fists clenched. He was definitely about to hit something. Or someone. Usopp reached into his pocket and pulled something out, he placed it onto his slingshot and pulled the string back.

"I'm sorry Luffy." 

Luffy spun on his heel but was silenced when the tranquilizer hit his chest.

"Uso-..." Luffy choked out before stepping back dizzily and crashing to the floor. The corners of Usopp's mouth sank even further as he watched Luffy lose consciousness.

"Don't worry Luffy, we'll think of something. We will make sure Sanji and Zoro get home safe."

Usopp pulled Luffy up and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Let's get you to Chopper, shall we?"

Finally I got a new chapter out!

Sorry to all that we're waiting for a very long time, I've been sick these past couple of weeks and hadn't really had the time to get some chapters out. I also have a lot of shit going on at the moment (people treating me like shit, burn out from work, and having literally no friends *Apart from you M!) So yeah, next chapter might take a while as well but I'm working on it :)!

And to those saying that I should 'LeT zOrO aNd SaNji bE hApPy'- never, I will continue to torture those idiots and there's nothing you can do about it.

MWAHAHAHA
