So im gonna post it here... Anyway my apologies.. /(*_*)/ [____]

*********************

An explosion of cataclysmic proportions shook the broken island of Minnon, as shockwaves spread through the stormy sky separating the dark clouds. The sun shone with abject joy as the as rays of light pervaded the wreaked land.

I groaned in pain as I felt the effects of the serum begin to wane. I hobbled over to the downed fatty, before repeatedly kicking his arm, and swearing at him. "Get up you fat lump of fles.h.!.+" I roared as I glared at his stirring form

"The captain's still not surfaced go rescue him or something, imma go to sleep…" I moaned as my vision darkened, my knees buckled as I collapsed next to the now awake boy. a slight grin lit up my face as I lost consciousness. 'We had survived!'.

Sorren groaned as he got to his feet, a s.h.i.+ver ran sown his spine as he beheld the chaos around. He had heard the last words of his crewmember and a wave of shame had overtaken him as a result. A worried frown creased on his brow as he ran toward the blurry ocean.

He sighed deeply, before jumping into the salty water. He was looking for his captain, and he hoped nothing was wrong with him.

Bubbles flushed out from his mouth occasionally as he made his way deeper into the water, the ocean green water picked at his heart strings, and he would have stayed to marvel the beauty of the sea, had he not been barreling towards his uncertain-fated captain.

At the bottom of the sea, among the wreckage of the previously docked s.h.i.+ps lay an injured man, blood seeped from the myriad of cuts adorning his chest and upper limbs, as a tranquil expression adorned his fascinatingly unblemished face.

Sorren reached toward his unconscious captain, marveling at his ability to stay alive under-water, as he strenuously tugged the knocked out man to the surface.

A tired groan rose from Lorean's mouth as he regained consciousness, before staring in awe at the ruins of the once jolly city. "What...….. happened?" he questioned with a moan as he witnessed Sorren tend to the fallen Fawkes's injuries. "Fatty, what happened to that idiot, why are my clothes wet, and why is the port ruined…?" he questioned.

Another groan rose, this time from the fallen Fawkes who looked around him, unable to move. "Ha...….The captain forgot about the fight!" he chuckled light heartedly as he proceeded to narrate the order of events that had taken place during Sorren's brief moments of incapacitation.

"Shahaha…. so we beat up a s.h.i.+chibukai" Lorean said chuckling before doubling over in pain. "Oi Sorren! Make yourself useful and lug both of us to the s.h.i.+- Ahem Boat! And look through that monster while you're at it!" he continued as he motioned to the rickety boat that stood docked to a part of untouched port land.

It bobbed in the sea breeze nonchalantly, as if gloating at the trio's misadventure. "Captain… you can't be serious!" Fawkes moaned, upset by the blatant lack of funds that had been showcased by the man. "You expect proud pirates, who did away with a Warlord to boot, to sail in a dingy vessel like that!?" he said annoyed as he stubbornly glared at the captain from his position on the cracked ground .

"We don't have a choice.. Doflamingo's crew might be here any moment, and as we are now....we'll probably die instantly.. Fatty, go! " he said somberly as he motioned Sorren with his eyes to follow his earlier commands, before he promptly collapsed on the fatty's back dragging his feet behind him.

Sorren nodded silently, running to the downed form, of the now dead pirate as he ruffled through his torn s.h.i.+rt pockets and disposed of his body, throwing him into the river. He prepared the boat and hauled the injured duo on board, where Fawkes promptly fell asleep and Sorren tended to his captain's injuries after untying the untrustworthy vessel.

Fawkes' broken axe lay next to his sleeping body, as Sorren's medical supplies lay next to his kneeling form.

"You're not at fault you know…" Lorean began as he gazed at the now insignificant speck that used to be Minnon, that now shone dully in the horizon. "Anyone would have collapsed in that situation, heck even Fawkes, who trained under the second in command to a former emperor level figure fainted for a major part of the battle, let alone you, who was trained more to be a doctor than a fighter…so don't beat yourself up…" he finished as his light-blue eyes met Sorren's uncertain black ones.

"But captain…you didn't collapse! However hard the situation got, you went head-to-head and toe-to-toe with a Warlord of the sea! And even Fawkes who was knocked out for most of the fight, contributed when we most needed it! Me on the other hand, I got carried through most of the fight, the only note-worthy thing I did throughout the entire affair, was drag you out of the sea! And you could have done that yourself too, had you been given enough time!" He bawled as tears silently fell from his otherwise tiny eyes.

"Aha! That's where you're wrong! I would never have been able to get back to the surface, had you not pulled me up!" Lorean began, "You see, I can't swim…." he confessed sheepishly as he rubbed a hand through his matted, wet hair.

"Captain you don't need to try that hard, I mean which pirate doesn't know how to swim?" he said as he rubbed his barely visible eyes with his thick fingers. "I choose to digress, little fatty. This Awesome, astonis.h.i.+ng, awe-inspiring, amazing, uh….uh give me some more word-Ahem, Yes! I don't know how to swim! Or rather, I can't swim…" he said.

"Huh!" was all Sorren's response was, to that rather alarming declaration. "Yes, you see, imma devil fruit user…." Lorean finished as he relished the look of surprise on Sorren's face.

"Ehhhh!?!!?!!?!" a loud shout echoed through the barren air in the ocean…..
