Chapter one
✔ Musician ✕


Trafalgar Law stepped into the bar, a fuzzy bear wrapped in an orange suit following by his side. Accompanying them were two men, one which wore a hat that labeled him, "penguin" and the other with a hat slumped onto his orange hair.

The bar was obnoxiously loud. Despite all the whistling and clanking of mugs, Law's attention was attracted to the woman who stood on the mini-stage. That was possibly the only thing keeping the man from turning around and leaving this pirate infested hole. Beer didn't taste good if the surroundings weren't to his liking's. Although, his interest was piqued by the woman.

The woman's peached-colored hair was lengthy, draping down over her shoulders. Her attire was rather revealing, only of her cleavage. It attracted all the pirate's interests, even if her singing didn't. That was the point. The more people interested, the more gold she would get in return of the amazing show.

Even though the grubby pirates were loud, it wasn't loud enough to drown out the small ladies voice. She sung a rather "jumpy" song. It effected the crowd in a way that they were swaying with the melody. Her voice was radiant, that was something Law couldn't deny.

Law decided to stick around, taking his seat in the crowd, ordering a beer of his own. He unconsciously tapped his heel to the wood as the woman pranced around the stage, her voice echoing throughout his mind.

After a few more songs, the lady did a little bow and stepped off of the small stage. Making her way past the cheering men (and a couple women) she let the bar doors swing shut behind her.

With a relaxed grin, Trafalgar stood up and told his subordinates there was no need to follow him as he would be right back.

Resting her back against the brick wall of the bar, Mei took in a deep breath of the fresh air. The bar consisted of sweaty and grimy smells that she hated. It was hard for her not to gag during some performances.

Some days were peaceful, a nice group of pirates just wanted to listen to a good melody as they chatted among themselves. Others days were worse. Leaving the bar at the end of the night, she would get confronted outside by one of the audience members. Those days never ended well.

With a flick of her wrist, a match was brought up to the tip of her cigarette that hung from her lips. With a sigh of relief, she exhaled the smoke.

"With a voice like yours, you're just ruining it by doing that." The man stepped out of the bar's doorway and faced Mei.

Removing the cigarette from her mouth, a light stain of lipstick coated the bottom of it. Flicking the ash, Mei looked up at the man.

"Thanks for your concern, but I don't need it." Mei wasn't trying to come of as rude, or maybe secretly she was. She couldn't care less how she treated a pirate. They were nothing but good for nothing burglars and beer-chuggers. Law caught the hint of hatred in her voice, not towards him but towards his title as a pirate.

"Just Doctors' suggestion."

"Doctor or not, I don't appreciate concerns from bastards like my brother, Kidd." A little upset, Mei put her not even half-finished cigarette out, pushing herself off of the wall.

"Oh? You're Kidd's sis'?" The girl managed to spark Law's interest a little more. "Younger or older?"

Feeling resistance to answer, she gave him a glare. "Younger."

"From first glance you look nothing like 'em. With that glare though, it could be debated." Law noted that their hair colors were similar, peach and red.

Mei wasn't even surprised Trafalgar knew her brother. After all they were both supernova's and encountered each other on Sabaody. Despite her hate for pirates, she still knew of them.

Mei sighed, "is there something you wanted?"

Mei was expecting the pirate- especially one of his power, to ask for something like, gold, treasure or even sex. The level a pirate could stoop too was unpredictable. Mei wasn't fearless, she was far from it. Putting up a steel mask was something she did best. Of course, if Law had chosen one of the options listed above, she wouldn't let him have it without force.

Law's carefree grin found it's way back to his lips. "A musician."
