A wild New Chapter appeared! It used Disclaimer! I only own OCs.

So a short recap, Doflamingo is gone looking after something that is not on Dressrosa. I have no sweet clue where he's gone and I really don't care where. I've discovered that someone is trying to take advantage of Doflamingo when he buys some weird chains. I wanted to investigate the guy but he's on another island that was not close by, so Baby 5, Buffalo and I are now on that island. At one point all three of us were together.

That is so not the case now. I'm running around a warehouse from some crazy lanky guy with a machete. I mean It's not like I did anything to deserve this. Okay maybe I did but really this is all Baby 5's fault. She should not have agreed to let me sneak into a warehouse to try and confirm my suspicions by myself. Oh why did I let this happen?

"Alright I'm calm. Totally calm now. Not freaking out becasue my feet are back on the ground after getting here on someones back. Someone who can turn parts of their body into propellers. I'm calm."

"Done yet?"

Looking over at Baby 5 I sigh. "Shut it. At least I didn't pass out for a few hours this time." Standing up again after leaning over and resting my elbows and my knees. Goddamn heart attack in a bottle. I think my quick descent attached to baby 5 may have brought my blood pressure up a few notches.

"Alright so how far are we from where the office or building this guy is set up in?"

"Ugh don't you know Daschun?" You have got to be shitting me. This is going to be a long day.

"Okay it's in town somewhere right? How hard can it be to find a place that makes metal chains, pretty sure we'll be able to smell the place before we get there. Lets go." As I think about it this must look funny. Me leading two people that are members of a pirate crew. And you know the fact that's it me leading. I'm pretty sure out of the three of us I'm the least intimidating.

Suffice to say since I was the first one to walk into town nothing happened. Baby 5 and Buffalo on the other hand resulted in a kid about ten feet ahead of me yelling out "Pirates run!" and high tailing it into town.

"So what happens when someone yells pirates and we're not on Dressrosa?" Turning to Baby 5 since there are times when Buffalo talks and I have no idea what the hell he says.

"Here it might result in marines coming if they're in the area." Nodding for more info I stopped walking forward. I do not have a good feeling about this. "Since we're members of a warlords crew nothing will happen so long as we don't cause any trouble."

"Oh I guess that makes sense. I was wondering why the pink boss was able to get away with running a country and being a pirate. I kind of didn't really think that was normal." Wait a minute. "Just a thought but technically I'm not a member of the crew am I?"

Seeing both Buffalo and Baby 5 stop to look at each other does not send a warm and fuzzy up my spine. "Because I wouldn't put it past the young master for killing me for getting arrested" tapping my foot against the ground I look around again. "Well I guess since I'm not a apart of the crew and not too threatening maybe I can get away with investigating without you two." Why don't either of them seem too happy about my idea? Looking around the town and seeing some larger building I grin. I have an idea how to find out which building is which.

About two hours later finds the three of in an area of the town near the docks across from a warehouse we've come to find out is the one used by the vendor that makes and sells the chains to Doflamingo.

On the roof.

Lined up, looking over the edge.

Through a single pair of binoculars. Why do I feel like this could be a scene in a Scooby Doo episode? I'm sure if anyone can us this would look hilarious. Especially since with how large Buffalo is, the only thing the wall is really hiding is his head even his hair is sticking out! "See anything yet Baby 5?"

"He's still in the office." Damnit I really do not want to go through with the only solution I could think of to find out what I needed. I glared at the giant warehouse that had to be part factory, smokes stacks and all. Even from where I was I could smell the fires that had to be burning inside the building. I expect to see something like that in my world not here and after seeing Dressrosa with only the toy factory being the odd thing there. Than again I didn't really see any industrial buildings aside from a fish plant before I was 16. Once we got close enough It wasn't to hard to figure out where the main office was and thankfully I had been smart enough to have Baby 5 watching the office.

"Why are we doing this again Daysun?" Sighing I dropped my head so it was resting against the cool stone. "Because Buffalo I want to make sure I'm making the right call before I tell the young master my suspicions. I don't want to say something when it's legitimate." At the one of confusion on both of their faces I groaned. "I don't want to tell Doflamingo I think someone is ripping him off until I'm sure."

The simultaneous "oh" made my want to smack my head. It can't be that hard to figure out is it? "They're clearing out of the office!" Ok time to put this plan into action, getting up I nod at Buffalo who looks on confused. "Are you certain you don't want to just break in there daysun?"

"Yes, we've been over this. I sneak in there and into the office, alone. If something happens I do not want either of you to get caught up in it, I get that you can get away with it. My concern has more to do with ensuring that if something does go wrong nothing gets back to Doflamingo about how I dragged you two into this. Now help me down before they go back in that office."

Once down on the ground I double check my pocket to ensure the smaller den den mushi is still there and safe, my one link to the other two that serve as my look outs. Sneaking around a corner I stop behind crates pilled next to one of the open bays of the warehouse. 'I guess it's now or never.'

Keeping my ear and eyes open I slowly made my way though the building, I seem to be getting lucky. Maybe too lucky as there are lots of crates around and large objects for me to hide behind. Ever time I hear voices I stop holding my breath and praying 'don't look behind door number one.' I'm sure my sense of self preservation is either getting better at being quiet or its long dead after getting here.

After about ten minutes of silent slow travel that feels more like ten hours I've made my way into the office. I guess this vendor doesn't think the same about security for their office as Doflamingo does about the study. Somewhere in my mind that still isn't screaming is actually enjoying this, I can almost hear the theme song for mission impossible playing as I rifle though the different desks.

I'm starting to think this is a bad idea and huff going to the last desk, I've found absolutely nothing to confirm my suspicions so far or anything to support the increase in price either. frustrated I pull the last drawer open a little too hard and hear it echo around the room. As bile rises from the panic I'm feeling I notice it, a log book with details about each transaction. Flipping through the pages and taking note of the dates I quickly find the entries that are going to answer my questions.

The entries closer to the current date are telling, and I have to question how smart some of the people in this world are. Who in their right mind actual writes in a log book and gloats about ripping off a customer. Especially one that is as frighting as Doflamingo, looking at the book I frown. I have the proof I need now to know this guy is ripping him off but will Doflamingo believe me? Well this is a conundrum, take the proof to show him and hope the vendor is as stupid as I think and not notice a missing page from his book? Or leave it and hope I'm believed about what I've found.

Oddly enough with my adrenaline running high from this situation of being in a warehouse snooping around somehow I can fathom rational thought. I leave the book and return it to the desk drawer closing it softly, if I take it or just the page I risk the vendor realizing something might be up and time to create a second set of books that leave out lovely messages like the gloating. If Doflamingo doesn't believe me than I won't last long working for him anyway if he's killed all my predecessors before.

"Hurry up and get out of there Mel! Someone is on their way back to the office!" Hearing Baby 5 I rush for the door and step outside almost running into the lanky man right in front of the door. Seeing the weapon at his belt I gulp. Dear body, please, please flee and don't stand here looking a kid with their hand in the cookie jar. As I take off I hear him yell and draw the Machete, well shit I might not have to worry about anything by the end of the day.

- Elsewhere -

Doflamingo grinned to himself as he watched the auction house from above in a hidden box. The slave business was great for profit. Even more so with a few members of the staff dressed up and tucked away into the crowd to drive the bidding up. He watched as a young woman was sold with curly brown hair and a mousy face. For a second he pictured his little birdie up there for sale.

His grin fell as he shook his head to get rid of the image, the only reason she would end up on the stage was if she failed him. Plain and simple. Well she would only end up on that stage if she survived him attempting to kill her first for failing him. So far all the girl had shown to him was loyalty and a large bit of fear. Though she was quiet a bit out of her element and a little lost given everything she had been through so far. Thrown into another world and dealing with devil fruit powers. She still may pass out at the use of a devil fruit but she seemed to be getting better. Once he was back and if his little break to see what she would worked out in her favor he would sit down and give her that explanation about devil fruits and the powers they granted those that ate them. Grinning to myself he picked up his drink as the last of the auction finished. For now this would do as a source of income. Other things were starting to come together for him with another project. His grin widened while thinking about it.

Back with Mel -

After running almost to the end of the way larger than I thought warehouse I'm panting, and also still amazed I haven't been caught yet. It's almost like the people working in the warehouse are used to people running at them, not running in a different direction and using the crates as barriers. I've seen some men coming after me with the chains, others with hand cuffs made of the same strange metal. "Great back here you crazy little Bitch! I ain't gonna do nothin to ya"

Hearing the lanky guy yell I almost wanted to yell back at him about that being bullshit, otherwise he wouldn't be chasing me with a machete. My sense of self preservation is screaming to keep running while my body is starting to get tired. Maybe I'll start working out after this not much but enough to not be tired from running for my life. As I dodge behind another crate I almost fall to my knees in desperation, I'm on a pier with no way back to the front of the building. The only good thing is I can see the building I had only a short while ago been on the roof of with the others. Thankfully I don't see them so they must have moved once they realized something was going on with me. Pulling the den den mush out of pocket I practically scream into it "Do not engage! I repeat do not engage!" Who in their right mind says that, forget yell it. Please don't have let me pursuers have heard that either, than they're going to not I'm not working alone. Damn you mission impossible.

Sliding at the end of the pier I almost feel like having a break down, I can't think of a way to get out of this. Not without this guy seeing baby 5 or Buffalo, I can see the lanky guy getting closer with his machete out and grinning at me. It's not 'I'm glad to see you' grin either, try the creepy 'I'm a serial murderer and I just found my next target' grin. Looking around I sigh, I can jump in the water and swim but I'm not the best swimmer. Sure I can swim ok but I doubt I could out swim any of the people coming towards me. "Now now you little bitch, looks like you've run out of space to run. I think you and I need to have a conversation about why you were in my office."

Are you serious! This was not how I was hoping for this to go down, I keep watching him now that he's no longer running. More like slowly sauntering towards me. He stopped all of sudden than "Someone get a pair of seastone handcuff on her, if she hasn't jumped in the water yet she must be a devil fruit user." I stop myself from asking about that assumption. If they think I'm something like Buffalo and Baby 5 maybe I can take advantage and buy myself a little time. "Are you sure you want any of you people to come closer to an unknown person?"

He laughed. Well this may have backfired. "If that was the case why would you run little bitch?" Ok why does everyone call my little? I'm not tiny and I'm not that short "I guess you've never seen a cornered animal tear it's pursuers to shred than have you?" The man that had been walking forward with hand cuffs stopped for a moment. I really didn't think that would work. Still glancing around I think about what he said, maybe jumping in the water would be my best bet if I can get a head start on the distance in the water. Suddenly it hits me, this is a pier attached to a warehouse full of crates. There must be a crane of some kind around to load the ships.

There is one to my left by about ten ten feet, It's only about twenty feet high but I see the rope coiled near the bottom. This idea is going to be out there but I decide in a split second to try it. Running I grab the rope and start to climb the ladder next to it hearing the shout of the lanky boss and the others behind me. Just pretend this is a swing like the old tire swing my brothers had near the brook that ran by our house. Right like that's going to help I've never used the damn thing for fear of hurting myself. Well right now it's do or die. Someone is at the base of the ladder.

Taking a deep breath I drop most of the rope and hold on to the end for dear life and run forward to the end of the crane and jump out wards. As I fall forward my momentum seems to pull the rope outwards like it is a swing and at the top of the arc I let go and fall in the ocean. When I hit the water I don't take the time to celebrate internally my survival of not killing myself jumping off and start swimming. Before too long I'm on the shore again across from the warehouse and look back.

I can hear the lanky boss yelling at his workers in the water to swim faster, the nearest about 30 feet from the edge of the shore. I guess that was a good idea "Enjoy your swim folks and catch you later!" Turning back towards where I had landed with the others I took off running again. I'm not sure what came over me but I feel pretty successful and reach into my pocket. The little den den mushi is still there though the poor thing looks a little terrified "You guys still out there?"

I almost falter seeing the tears running from the eyes of the den den mushi and Baby 5 screams at me from it "What the hell were you thinking? Iwas worried about you! We saw everything but you said not to engage and we had no idea what to do."

Ok I feel a little bad about that now "Sorry, listen just meet me outside town and we'll head back to Dressrosa. I've got what I need and I don't really want to get caught by that guy if I don't have to be." Ten minutes later I'm breathing deeply as I cling to Buffalo's back and keep running though a mantra 'don't scream' in my head. If I can handle the ride back without screaming a loud of passing out than I am really making progress these days.
