He had met her under the strangest of circumstances.
He had finally reached an island after sailing for a couple of days. He looked like he was going to pass out and found his way to the nearest bar. There, he ordered so much food that he took up three tables.
Due to his narcoleptic tendencies, he fell asleep while eating. People stared at him strangely. He woke up suddenly when a waitress brought him more food. She winked at him before being pushed aside by a figure dressed in all red. The blonde waitress let out a gruff noise as she fell to the floor, only for the back of her shirt to be grabbed. He could see that this figure was a woman. Her curvy figure and rather large bosom gave her way, even though he was staring at her back. Long crimson hair fell down in silk sheets as the woman hoisted the waitress up and onto her feet. She must have mumbled something before walking away. This wasn't the end of it though. When the waitress was pushed, the drinks in her arms splashed over a rugged individual who voiced his displeasure.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" He grabbed the blonde, not knowing it wasn't her fault. The fragile girl whimpered as the bulky man gripped her arm tightly. The woman in red turned back to them and the air fell still.
"Let her go." The man looked at her before grinning. The woman's eyes widened and a vein could be seen popping out against her pale skin. She ground her teeth as she screamed her commanded once more, lifting the man up over her head and throwing him out of the bar. Shock was clearly displayed on everyone's face as the woman tired to simmer down. The man's partners tried grabbing her and that's when he decided to intervene.
"Now, now. Two against one isn't right," he looked at them from underneth his orange hat, a grin splashed acrossed his face. "Especially a woman." But his words when unheard as the woman tossed both men out of the bar. She then turned to him and got in his face.
"Just shut your mouth and stay out of someone else's business!" She fumed as she stomped out of the bar.
He saw her one more time before he left the island.
He had heard ruckus and saw a group of people surrounding something. A grunt was heard and something splattering against the ground. He pushed his way through the crowd to see the woman from before, laying on her side with a small pool of blood that was hardly distinguishable from her red clothing. The men from before, plus more, were ganged against her. Kicking and punching her. She didn't move as they laughed at her.
Where had all her strength from yesterday gone?
He finally decided that he would finally have some fun.
"So that's your style, beating up on a poor girl? Pretty lame if you ask me." He stated, walking forward, hand on his head, holding his hat down. The men looked at him, frowns etched on their faces. They charged at him, only to be burned, literally.
"Come on, is that all you got?" He asked as he shook the flames from his fist. They all backed away in fear.
"It's Fire Fist Ace!" Someone cried and the area was soon cleared of people. Ace sighed as he rolled his shoulders. Looking down at the woman, he found a small black cat make it's way towards her. It placed a paw on her face and she finally looked up. It was small, but a sad smile reached her bloody lips.
"Glad you are alright," she said, petting the feline. Getting up, she gave a dry cough before clutching the side of her torso, where a slash was evident.
"Bit off more than you could chew huh?" He asked her. She glared at him with wine colored eyes and spit out some blood.
"What did I say? Stay out of other people's business!" He frowned.
"If I didn't get into your 'business' you would never be able to conduct business again!"
"What do you know, flame head?"
"Flame head? Looks who's talking? I've seen people loose their temper, but you don't even have one!"
They continued to share a heated battle of words until Ace suddenly fell on her. A foreign blush rose to her face as she yelled at him. Going silent, she found he had fallen asleep.
Who the hell falls asleep in the middle of a fight? She thought.
Next thing he knew, Ace woke up in a room. At first, he couldn't remember what happened but then the sight of the red woman with her long coat off brought his memory back. She sat in a chair, petting the black cat from before. Ace was rather surprised at how few bruises she had. He startled her when he asked what he was doing in the room.
"You bone head! You just went up and fell asleep in the middle of our fight! Besides, you... saved me," she looked away, whispering the last part. A grin appeared on his face as he sat cross legged, resting his elbow on his knee.
"Yeah, and how are you going to make it up to me?" He asked. She must have thought he hinted to something bad because the next thing he knew, a dresser was thrown at him. Escaping through a window, he yelled back that she owed him.
He never would have thought that a month from then, a woman in red would appear on the Moby Dick.
"I'm going to place you under... Ace! Wake up!" Ace was surprised to see her, and she him.
"It's you!" They cried in unison. Then they were stuck together.
"Guess we haven't been introduced. Name's Ace," he grinned at her. She glared at him from the corner of her eye.
"Rosso and Sebastian." He then saw the black cat pop out of a pocket in her coat. The cat seemed to glare at him with his crimson eyes before returning to his warm home. Ace sighed, knowing that he was in for an adventure with this woman.
And thus was the beginning of the peculiar relationship between Fire Fist Ace and the Red Queen, Rosso.
So this actually spawned from a dream I had. My best friend and I were in a house that we rented together and we were closing all the windows for the night. I was upstairs and all these people started to show up and I kept yelling for my friend. Then when we look down over the railing we find it magically turned into a bar. When we fell down, our clothes changed to pirate clothes and someone was talking about the Grand Line and One Piece. It was weird but awesome too. So I based the character off of me in my dream.
So what this is like drabbles or whatever of fun/funny and stuff that happens to Ace and his new companion. I'm doing this cuz I like Ace but I don't think my other one piece story pairing with him would work so I made someone else who is similar but different.
I also thought Red Queen worked better for this story than the other one so that's why they are changed... yeah
Review comment and stuff to tell me things you might want to see, like Ace and Rosso getting stuck in a really small space together or something funny
