Chapter 12

"Um, what?" Asmara shouted, holding onto the bar for support, her drink in one hand as she spoke with the green-haired swordsman. As some time had passed, the music got louder and more people started to enter, causing her to go quite deaf. Zoro grabbed her by the arm and brought her to a corner, away from everyone else and the music.

"…You kissed me." He dropped his hold on her as he looked away, his cheeks slightly pink from embarrassment or the alcohol (or both).

"I did? I don't remember that at all. When?" Asmara asked him. She had lost her tipsiness and felt her heart beat out of her chest as she thought about the act. Oh God…I thought it was a dream, too. She tried to dismiss it, apologizing. "I don't understand why you're mad though. He's just a guy. Are you jealous?" She took a large gulp of her drink, desperate to get back to the tipsiness to not face this awkward conversation. He had to bring it up now of all times.

"No! I'm not jealous!" He shouted, obviously lying and still in red in the face.

"Okay, then you shouldn't be upset. I'm not here to hook up with anyone – I just need information. Don't forget that's the reason we're doing this," Asmara reminded him, as she walked away, returning her glass and getting another drink. He followed her with his eyes, making sure she was okay...and then he watched her from afar. He watched her every curve, how her hair framed her face and her body, how her eyes lit up as she thanked the bartender. Her long hair swayed from side to side as she disappeared into the crowd. He was attracted to her...and he hated his male genetics for that.

Fuck, I hate this. Zoro cussed as he ordered 3 shots. He took them all at once, surprising not only the bartender but others who were at the bar. He wiped his mouth and also disappeared into the crowd.

Sanji was in love as he saw so many women scantily clad in short skirts and tops. He went to the bar to get a beer, eyeing two women who were talking to each other. Both sets of eyes turned and met his, and they smiled seductively, making their way towards him. Sanji blushed furiously, turning his head away but he was too late. Okay, I have one hour…one hour to get laid! Sanji ordered a shot for a confidence boost as he awaited the ladies.

They were two women who were dressed very provocatively. The first was a skinny, blond woman who wore a very tight black dress which barely covered her backside. The material was sheer with some black designs covering her womanly areas. A black wristlet hung from her wrist as she held her drink. Her friend was slightly shorter, but still very attractive. She was a brunette with long loose curls and wore a tight red crop top, exposing her flat abdomen and belly button piercing, and a tight lace mini skirt. Sanji was in heaven as his heart raced at the sight of them.

"Hi there," the blond spoke. "I'm Lily." She offered her hand. Sanji, being the gentleman he was, kissed the back of her hand, making her giggle.

"My name is Sa-.. Sam, my angel." Shit, I almost said Sanji…phew! He tried to act calm and collected, but he was nervous as hell. He turned to Lily's friend, taking her hand and kissing it as well, "and your name my dear?" The woman also giggled.

"Ivy," she smiled seductively, tracing her finger along his arms and thighs. Chills went through Sanji's body as he continued talking with the beautiful women, hearts in his eyes.

"This makes me feel kind of weird," Usopp said in the group with Chopper and Luffy. "We have an hour to get some kind of information."

"Yeah, I mean, you'll have to do it on your own," Chopper slightly laughed, "since I'm a reindeer!"

"I know...lucky…" Usopp sighed. I wish I was a reindeer…or if I could turn into one whenever I wanted just to avoid situations like this… "Hey Chopper, do you have pretty good hearing? I wonder if you could hear any conversations involving this guy."

"Uh…no." Chopper stared at him matter-of-factly. "What do you think I am?"

"I dunno, I thought all animals are supposed to have incredible senses or something!" They walked around for a bit, and then went to a corner to survey the area…or just to avoid trying to be social.

"Alright, I'm just gonna do this." Luffy muttered, putting his hat backwards, looking very determined. He ran into the crowd and literally said "HEY DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THIS SALVATORE GUY!"

"Gah, Luffy! No!" Usopp and Chopper ran after him and pulled him back to the corner. "That's not the best way to do that."

"Well, how else are we gonna do this?" Luffy asked them, frowning...then his stomach grumbled. "I'm hungryyyy…" he put his hands on his stomach.

"Not again Luffy," Chopper frowned slightly. He couldn't help much either. I bet if we ate at a restaurant, then we could ask the waiter or something. That's a lot better than this barhopping business. "Do you want to get something to eat?" Luffy had a wide grin on his face, ready to eat.

"YEAH! Let's go!" He looked at Usopp and Chopper and they all decided to leave the bar and get food.

"Let's ask the waiter if they know anything about this guy, also." Usopp agreed with Chopper, relieved he didn't have to strike conversation with anyone. I don't understand how people like this stuff.

"This is so much fun!" Nami smiled, enjoying herself as she was dancing in the crowd with Robin. Everyone had pretty much dispersed and went their own ways; so she and Robin decided to go dance …and meet people along the way. The music was loud and upbeat and she was on her third drink.

"Yes, it is!" Robin smiled also dancing with Nami. She enjoyed herself but she knew her goal was to find information about this Sterling Salvatore character.

As Nami swayed her hips to the music, a set of hands rested on her hips which slowly pulled her to a body. She turned around to see handsome man grind against her. Hey, he's cute so fuck it, why not? She told herself as she continued grinding against him and danced. After the song ended, the guy introduced himself to her as Shane. He offered to buy her the next drink as they both headed to the bar. Robin had also left the crowd and moved to corner, surveying and using her Devil Fruit powers to eavesdrop on conversations. Hopefully one would point her in the right direction to help Asmara.

Asmara swayed her hips and danced for what seemed like forever. She wanted to forget about her conversation with Zoro. I'm looking for Sterling Salvatore…stop thinking about other things Asmara! Focus! Her little conversation with Diego helped a bit as he hadn't heard of the name himself but his friends had at a bar called "Bar 48". She wanted to see if there was anything else she could find out before the hour was up at this bar. She continued to dance and suddenly her eyes widened – someone was watching her. She scanned around and her violet eyes met his dark, piercing stare. He took her breath away as he turned back to the girl he was dancing with.

Zoro.

She didn't know how she felt about that. Alcohol was a terrible thing at times – it caused her to have no filter on her actions or her words, and when Zoro had told her that she kissed him, she knew it was true too. She had a dream about that, but didn't know it actually happened. She was embarrassed that she did that. She really wasn't that type of person. You just kissed Diego. Dammit! It was the alcohol…blame the alcohol for her actions.

Asmara couldn't help but watch Zoro dance as she, too, swayed her hips. She felt weird watching another girl grind against him. She watched as his strong arms trailed to her hips and kept them there the entire time. She secretly wished he would do that to her. He looked absolutely delicious in his attire. Fuck, fuck, fuck! This shouldn't even be bothering me. What the hell?! Why do I feel…hurt? Or is this jealousy? Ugh, fuck this shit. Rough hands were on her hips as she grinded with some guy she didn't even know. She gave no fucks and neither did Zoro.

"Come on!" Lily and Ivy dragged Sanji from his stool and brought him to a door past the bathroom. He was intoxicated by them and couldn't hold it in any longer. He had to have them. They opened and shut the door, locking it behind them. Lily and Ivy attacked Sanji, fueling his desire even more.

Lily's bright red lips crushed against his as she placed her hands in his hair. Sanji completely forgot about his dark brown wig so when Lily put her hands in it, she took it off. Both women were confused and in shock.

"Why are you wearing a wig?" Ivy asked, suspicious. The women backed away from him. The mood had been ruined and Sanji was embarrassed and nervous at the same time. Shit, shit , shit!

"Well, I didn't like my hair..." Sanji lied, looking down at the ground and shrugging. There was no way he was going to tell them the real reason he had a wig.

"Your hair is perfect!" Lily reassured him, obviously biased. But he did have nice hair so the women told him he looked great and didn't need a wig. "I actually like you a lot more with blond hair." Lily smiled seductively, approaching him again and tossing the wig to the side. Ivy followed suite. Lily crushed her lips on his and played with his hair as Ivy started playing with Lily.

Ivy's hands grabbed her breasts from the back causing her to moan in Sanji's mouth. Their lips separated as he watched the scene in front of him, speechless. Lily moaned more as Ivy squeezed her breasts through the fabric of her dress, making them look a lot larger. The women then kissed each other, their tongues swirling around each others and deep in their partner's mouth. As they shared kisses, they touched each other. They played with each other's nipples, causing them to become hard and erect.

"Mmm, right there," Ivy moaned as Lily grabbed her ass and rubbed her inner thigh. She then lifted her skirt up, revealing a cleanly shaved pussy. Oh my god! Sanji almost burst from the seams as he watched Lily's tongue lick her friend's pink pussy. If his penis could grow any larger, it would. His pants had become so tight and uncomfortable; he proceeded to unzip them when Ivy and Lily crawled towards him, rubbing his member.

"Ohh," he groaned as they quickened their rubbing. "I need you two right now. I need to fuck you both." He unzipped his pants, releasing his long hard penis. Both girls pumped him hard and fast, causing him to lose his breath. His legs shook as pleasure engulfed him. Lily took him in into her warm, hot mouth. She moved up and down as Ivy sucked his balls, swirling her tongue in circles as well as massaging them. Sanji was in absolute heaven.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" he cried. He held Lily's head as he thrusted into her mouth faster and faster. She continued to suck and swirl her tongue. Ivy did the same until he couldn't hold back the built up pressure. He exploded into her mouth and watched her swallow it all.

They weren't done yet. Sanji sat on the floor, exhausted as he watched the women play with each other again. They kissed again, but this time taking each others' clothes off. Lily continued where she left off with Ivy – licking her pussy. Ivy moaned loudly, her legs spread wide open as the blond nibbled on her clit as tongue-fucked her over and over again.

"Put your ass in my face," Ivy told her. Lily followed her friend and placed her leg over her body in a 69 position. As Lily licked, so did Ivy. They both moaned as they felt the pleasure throughout their body. Lily's legs shook as Ivy continued to lick and suck.

"Oh fuck. I need you two." Sanji said, speechless as his penis was rock hard once more. Watching two women making out and having sex with each other was one of his fantasies. Participating was another. He reached into the back pocket of his pants and pulled out a condom from his wallet, placing it on his hard penis quickly. He then rushed over to the girls and thrust his cock into Ivy's wet pussy. She moaned loudly as he continued thrusting into her. Lily then sat on Ivy's face, having her suck her clit while she kissed Sanji. Sanji then grabbed Lily's breasts, rubbing her nipples and making her more wet. Ivy licked around Lily's clit and tongue-fucked her, causing her to arch her back in pleasure. Ivy continued to swirl her tongue around her clit and nibble as Sanji thrusted harder. He thrusted harder and harder as they all moaned louder. The pressure became so great they couldn't take it anymore and Sanji released himself in Ivy. As he came, Ivy and Lily did as well. Sanji collapsed on the floor, out of breath as he pulled out of Ivy. He kissed them both, smiling and saying, "Oh my god. That was the greatest experience of my life!" causing the two women to giggle and smile.

The hour was up and the Straw Hat Pirates had met back in the entrance of the bar. Clearly something had happened to the group during that hour: Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were sluggish, Nami was really sweaty, Sanji was also really sweaty but his clothes were wrinkly and his wig was on backwards, and Robin was Robin. Asmara had stopped drinking to sober up even though all she wanted to do was get piss drunk to forget about seeing Zoro with that girl. The tension was so thick between Asmara and Zoro that his katanas could slice through it. Nami and Robin looked at each other, knowing something happened.

"Alright, did you guys find out anything about Sterling Salvatore?" Asmara asked them. "I was told to go to Bar 48." She looked at everyone except for Zoro, avoiding him at all cost.

"I've heard his name mentioned around but nothing that will lead us to him." Robin added. "But Bar 48 is also something I heard as well, so I guess we should check it out." Asmara nodded, grateful for those who helped find some information for her.

"Bar 48 is kind of shady though," Usopp added, "the waiter at the food place we went to said that a lot of fights and stuff break out there."

"Aw, they're just fights though! We can take em!" Luffy enthusiastically spoke. He was proud of his crew and their fighting skills.

"Yeah, but we don't want to cause a scene, Luffy," Nami told him, slightly bursting his bubble as he frowned. "The point was to lay low so no one would recognize us and call the Marines."

"Yeah…that's true. But we'll be ready!" Luffy smiled. He noticed Sanji's wig was messed up. "Hey Sanji, what's up with your wig?" Sanji blushed, embarrassingly fixing his wig and straightening his clothes. The other members looked at him strangely while Robin was smiling slightly.

"Uh, I was dancing too hard and moving my head a lot," Sanji replied, coming up with the excuse on the spot.

"Uh huh…well we should go, huh?" Asmara told Luffy who agreed and they walked to find Bar 48. Many people passed them either going home or going to another bar. Most of the girls were dressed provocatively, ready for a good time. Sanji eyed some of the ladies passing him, obviously needing more attention.

Zoro was behind everyone else, alone and in his own thoughts. The events of the night replayed in his mind. He was attracted to Asmara and there was no way of denying it. He was pissed off that she kissed Diego though. So to get back at her, he danced with some girl he found at the bar. The three shots didn't help him talk to her though. She ended up asking him if he wanted to dance and he just nodded in agreement. What he remembered the most was when they locked eyes on the dance floor. He shook his head, ridding himself of these thoughts for now. "Fuck." He mumbled as he realized he had gotten lost again.

"So what happened between you and Zoro?" Robin asked Asmara. She frowned a bit and turned her head away, mumbling something.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it," Nami chimed in. "We're here if you need to talk!" The navigator smiled, reassuring Asmara. Asmara looked at them and smiled slightly.

"Thanks. Maybe some other time," she glanced behind her, knowing Zoro WAS behind them. "Fucking a." She sighed loudly.

"What happened?" The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates stopped to turn towards her.

"We lost Zoro, again." The group sighed again. "Who's gonna go get him?" Asmara really hoped she wouldn't have to. She was already trying to avoid him, but it seemed that life always seemed to go the opposite way of what she wanted.

"I'll go," Sanji offered, surprising the rest of the group since they knew they both were always fighting. Sanji started to retrace their steps and started jogging back to the first bar they went to. "We will meet you guys at Bar 48!"

"Well, that was surprising." Usopp replied, shocked. "Tonight sure has been a weird night."

"You said it." Chopper chimed in.

"It's so weird not doing anything," Will addressed Mena who was next to him at the bar. They both were drinking their beers and just…waiting. Waiting on orders…or on something. The two had changed their clothes, blending in with most of the civilians. Will had his hair in a low ponytail, a gray t shirt, leather jacket and black jeans and shoes. Mena wore her hair down with her signature red lipstick and a tight leather corset and pants.

"I know what you mean," Mena replied, finishing her beer. "Rum please." She told the bartender who acknowledged her and started pouring the liquor.

"I mean, he did say to watch them, right?" Will asked, confused. They didn't really watch the Straw Hat Pirates. They had seen them dock but afterwards, they had lost track of them as their leader told them to do whatever they wanted.

"I guess so, yeah," Mena frowned, slightly anxious. The bartender has given her drink as he attended to more people who have now entered the bar.

"I think we should go and ask him. At least let's double check," Will said, making up his mind. "You can stay here if you want."

"Okay!" Mena said with a smile, as she ordered more drinks for herself. "Come back soon! I'll be here."

"Yeah, yeah," Will shrugged looking back at her and giving her the middle finger for fun. As he did, he accidentally bumped into someone. "Oh whoops, sorry." His bright blue eyes met obsidian ones. The obsidian pair were stern and serious, which changed his mood as well. Will passed by him and turned the corner, disappearing into the shadows.

"Oy! National Treasure, I was looking everywhere for you!" Sanji called out, running towards him. "I can't believe you got lost again, damn." Zoro still looked at the corner from where Will turned and then focused on the cook.

"Bar 48. See I didn't get lost. Everyone else did." Zoro simply stated as he entered the bar.

Damn him…Sanji's eye twitched as he already regretted offering to find Zoro. At least I told them I'd meet them here. He followed Zoro into the bar, making sure he didn't get lost in a closed area, God forbid.

"Do you want us to find there whereabouts? Or wait until tomorrow?" Will asked, looking down at the floor in respect.

"Hm, hm, hm," the man in the shadows replied, "I don't want you to go out of your way to find them, but if you happen to bump into them, bring them to me. The sooner the better, I guess."

"Gotcha. I'll let Mena know," Will nodded and then disappeared in seconds.

Those obsidian eyes…Will thought as he made his way back to Bar 48. Scary. He entered the bar and was surprised to see that it was packed. "Dammit, where's Mena…" he said, annoyed that she wasn't at the bar. He found her sitting on one of the couches, enjoying the rest of the scene.

"There you are…" Will frowned, sitting next to her. "I thought I told you to stay there," he pointed to the stool she was sitting on at the bar when he left.

"You're lucky I stayed here at this bar," Mena smirked, "I would've left you without a doubt. But we have business, don't we?" The red drink in her hand matched her lipstick as she took a sip.

"He said we don't have to, but if we happen to bump into them, we bring them to him," Will relayed what his boss had told him. "So I guess we relax til then!" he smiled, laying back on the couch with his arms behind his head.

Mena nudged him on the side sharply with her elbow. "That's them," she pointed with chin, eyeing the group by the bar.

"Are you sure?" Will said. "It doesn't look like them."

"You're an idiot," Mena replied, finishing her drink. "That's them, 100 percent. Lure them out to the back." She gave her empty glass to the bartender, looked back at him and then disappeared into the crowd.

"Aw man…." Will frowned. "I thought I'd get to relax tonight." Oh well…

"Damn, it's packed here, huh?" Nami shouted through the music at Robin who nodded in agreement. The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates had made it, meeting up with Sanji and Zoro who had been waiting for them. Afterwards, crowds of people started to pile in, covering the dance floor and the bar.

Sanji had gone off by himself but Robin, Nami, Asmara, and Zoro had stuck together by the bar…or at least stuck by each other while Chopper, Luffy, and Usopp wandered around.

"What can I get you guys?" the bartender asked, getting a beer for another customer.

"Beer." Zoro answered.

"Make that 3 beers," Nami added, getting one for her and Robin. "Asmara, do you want anything?"

"Yeah, just rum." Asmara's choices of alcohol were very different compared to the others who went for something lighter. She called over the bartender and leaned over the counter. "I have a question for you. Where can I find Sterling Salvatore?" The bartender's eyes widened slightly and then went back to normal.

"I'm sorry, I don't know who you are talking about." He replied, getting their drinks. Before Asmara could ask again, he was called by another customer.

"Did you see that?" Nami looked suspiciously at the bartender. "He definitely knew who you were talking about Asmara." Even Zoro admitted to that as he felt a presence behind him so he turned around suddenly, hand on his katanas just in case.

"Hey! Sorry for bumping into you earlier. I wasn't paying attention," Will came up to him.

"Oh, that's okay." Zoro replied, not even remembering who he was.

"What are you up to tonight? Are these lovely ladies with you?" He eyed Asmara, Robin, and Nami. "I'm Will, nice to meet you."

"Hey bartender! Beer please!" he called, smiling and waving.

"Hi Will, I'm Elise." Asmara introduced, using her charisma to her advantage. "I'm looking for someone and I'm wondering if you can help me."

"Sure thing. What's up?" The bartender gave him his beer and he took a sip out of the bottle.

"I'm looking for Sterling Salvatore," she said. Will smirked, taking his beer with him, the gleam in his eyes, expressing that he knew who he was. He disappeared into the dancing crowd, causing the group to run and follow him.

"Shit! Find him!" Asmara called out as they ran into crowd. They caught sight of him again by the entrance of the bar as he left, turning around a corner- the same corner Zoro had seen him turn before.

"Be careful," Zoro called out to everyone as he gripped both his katanas in his hand. Asmara had her fan in hand as well, prepared for the worst possible outcome. As they turned the corner, they were greeted by Will and the shadows.

"Well, hello again," he smiled mischievously. He took a step towards them, causing them to back away slightly and tense up. He walked towards them so quickly, it was like an illusion. They didn't know where he was and couldn't defend themselves from his attack. When they were able to see him, Asmara and Robin had been cuffed with Kairoseki chains while Zoro and Nami were bound by normal chains.

"What the fuck?!" Asmara cussed, absolutely surprised and livid. How did I let him do this to me? He was SO fast. The more she struggled, the more she got tired and felt faint as she fell to her knees.

"Asmara, are you ok?" Robin asked her, also kneeling next to her. She looked up at Will who was just watching them while smirking.

"Why are you doing this? Let us go!" Nami yelled. Zoro was also infuriated beyond belief. Will could feel the anger radiating from his body, but that didn't matter. This was his job.

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you," Will frowned. "So it's better if I don't say anything at all." They heard voices coming near them which happened to be Sanji and the rest of Straw Hat Pirates who were all bound as well, led by Mena.

"Oh hey, there you are! I was waiting for you," Will said as Mena let the imprisoned Straw Hats sit by each other. Sanji had hearts in his eyes as he looked at Mena.

"Yeah, sorry. I was busy getting these idiots," Mena pointed to the men. "And this one was the easiest," she laughed at Sanji who was gullible and love sick as ever.

"Dammit Sanji…" Nami's eye twitched as the love sick cook continued to drool.

"Let us out! Come on! We'll fight you!" Luffy yelled, wrestling with the cuffs which then sucked his energy out as he became tired like Asmara. "I'm…tired now…"

"What are you going to do to us?" Chopper yelled at them, pissed off. Usopp kept his mouth shut, scared.

"We're just doing our jobs," Mena looked at them, sternly. They all were pretty much pissed at her and Will. "So come on, lets go." And within seconds, they all disappeared into the shadows without a trace.

The doors were heavy and made of steel as they continued to walk through it. They were in a dark hallway, not knowing how they had gotten to this place in general. Some of the Straw Hat Pirates still tried to wiggle and free themselves from the chains but to no avail. The Devil Fruit users stopped fighting since their strength has been drained during their previous attempts to get free. It was hard to see what was in the room, but it was large and quiet. There were some candles lit along the hallway but everything else was shrouded in darkness. At the end was an even larger room which was brightly lit, ironically, as a large muscular man with long silver hair sat on a chair.

"Here they are, Sir." Mena presented them all to him as she and Will stepped off to the side by the shadows, awaiting their next order from him.

"Well, well. Thank you." He nodded to them. He turned to the Straw Hat Pirates, looking at each face until settling on to Asmara's. He smiled as he stood up and acknowledged her. "Hanson Asmara. It's time we finally met. My name is Sterling Salvatore."
