they'd have to fight their way up about six levels, slashing through borged out assholes with weapons they looted off dead bodies or stole from a heavily guarded armory. and then they'd have to find their way out of the maze that was the exterior park, either without being spotted or by having enough skill to remove obstacles that stood in their way. best case scenario, it was a suicide mission. worst case scenario ? they would drag her back here and mutilate her corpse for defying them.

SHE'D HAD WORSE ODDS.

and she'd done far dumber things than save herself. ❝ c'mon, you want out, don't you ? you seriously think he's ever gonna let you walk outta here ? ❞ v knew how people like arlong operated, she'd met dozens just like him, at every single stage of her life. he would use nami's skillset until he tired of it and then he'd discard her like she was nothing. ❝ you're scared, ❞ she shrugs, ❝ so what. do it scared then. ❞

she pours the both of them another shot of centzon, the tequila cost more than she could afford, but everything else was absolute shit. v lifts her glass and throws back the drink, sitting with nami's words before she considers speaking. ❝ dunno that anyone's meant for it. dunno that anyone's meant for anything. ❞ v'd heard it all before, prophecies of who she was meant to be, assurances that she was on this path for a reason. there had been a time where she might have believed it, might have even agreed with it, but any hope of it had vanished when dexter deshawn put a bullet in her skull and she learned the hard way that the only thing to come after death was the great expanse of an empty dark.
