Back  hits  the  rough  exterior  of  the  building  within  the  darkened  alleyways  of  these  streets  with  a  dull  thud.  Between  dealing  with  this  one  stranger  versus  the  group  of  marines  that  nearly  spotted  the  both  of  them,  he'd  much  rather  take  the  one  on  than  make  a  scene  for  a  simple  recognizance  mission.  It's  only  a  matter  of  time  before  marines  came  searching  this  way...  now  with  a  chance  he'll  remain  unseen  by  the  hound  dogs  that  follow  every  world  government  official's  command.

Head  ducks  down  behind  the  crates,  concealing  his  figure  into  the  shadows  in  the  meantime,  yet  he  could  still  glance  upwards  to  the  stranger  who  had  shoved  him  down.  "  What  are  you  going  to  do  in  the  meantime?  "  Might  as  well  ask  while  he's  told  to  stay. 

"  If  we  can  get  those  guards  distracted  with  something  else,  then  we'll  be  fine.  But  whatever  plan  you  have,  you'll  have  to  make  it  fast.  "

Destruction & rescue was the name of the game. As a cacophony of explosions & angry cries fill the air in the distance, the revolutionary merely gives a wry smile her way the moment she looks back.

" Can't say I'm the one who came up with that plan. " Merely serving as the distraction as the great Flame Emperor while everyone else slinked in through the shadows, Sabo gives a soft chuckle. " At this rate, there's nothing you can do about it either. We'll do everything we can to take back what was never really yours to begin with. "

Breath could not fill his lungs as he stands before his brother- no- in tight embrace with him as years of memories still pieced together in his fractured mind. The regret of an incident he had no control or anticipation for, weighing his body & soul for ( by now ) months, if not years on end now. Gloved, scarred fingers, unable to fully sense his brother's warmth yet that pressure enveloped in fights his doubts that this was all imagination.

" Not without coming back to you guys. I won't leave you and Luffy alone ever again. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. "

Not  all  of  them.  The  small  voice  that  lashed  its  tongue  against  the  back  of  his  mind  quickly  snuffed  out  as  courteous  smile  presents  itself  to  one  of  the  Eggheads.  "  I  hope  so,  "  he  responds,  a  flicker  of  memory  flashing  in  his  minds  eye  of  the  event.  "  We  did  what  we  could  to  save  as  many  as  we  did  but  we  couldn't  afford  to  lose  our  own.  "  Not  when  the  tide  began  to  shift  over  into  their  favor.  &  not  when  he  couldn't  afford  to  lose  anyone  else  that  close  to  him.

"  I  guess  being  part  of  the  biggest  Brainiac  in  the  world  comes  with  quite  a  bit  of  wisdom,  doesn't  it  ?  "  Might  as  well  make  use  of  that  beast  of  a  mind  beyond  just  scientific  knowledge.  right  ?
