The pictures

I had just woken up. Penguin and Shachi were making a lot of noise. They seemed to be running away from Trafalgar. I had walked out of my room a little after I had heard Law passing after the two crewmates in front of my door. I went to the grand room and spotted a table where there seemed to be something left on it.

-Huh? Are these pictures?

I can't help but get closer to bend above the pictures and look at them. I turn red when I see them. Who in the world had taken pictures of Trafalgar as he was sleeping?!

-Maybe that's why they were running away. Since they developed the pictures…

I look at the two last pictures and put a hand in front of my mouth to stop the laugher. It must have hurt when he found them taking pictures of him, but the face he was making was so funny. I put the pictures in one pile, hiding them on both side, and put them back in the box they were supposed to be in. As I close the box, I hear someone entering the room and closing the door behind them. I turn around and see it was Penguin and Shachi. They look at me with round eyes:

«Miss Anya?!»

I smile:

«Good morning! You look energetic. What's the big rush?»

As they are about to answer, I hear Trafalgar's voice:

«YOU WON'T GET AWAY THAT EASILY!»

Shachi looks at me:

«We didn't come here, okay?»

They both go to hide. Just as they had found a good spot, the door slams open on and Trafalgar comes in, sword in hand. He calms down when he sees me:

«Anya…»

I smile to him in a cute way:

«Well, well, what happened so soon in the morning? You looked angry a moment ago.»

«That's…»

He spots the box in my hands and seems uneasy. Wait, he's blushing, isn't he?

«W…What are you doing with that?!»

«I found it on the table.»

«Did you…saw the pictures?»

I frown, wondering:

«Pictures? Is that what's inside? It was closed like this when I arrived.»

He seems relieved. He walks closer and holds out a hand:

«Can you give this to me?»

«Sure.»

I hand him the box and he takes back a serious look:

«By the way, did you saw Shachi or Penguin?»

I shake my head:

«Nope, none of them.»

He sights:

«Fine, I'll get them sooner or later.»

«I'm not sure what they did, but don't you think you're being a little hard? I know you need to keep the image of a strong captain, but I don't think you need to be this angry at them. Did they say they were sorry?»

«I think they did…many times…»

«Isn't that enough? I'm sure they won't do it again, whatever it was they did.»

He looks away, a little uneasy:

«I…maybe…you're right.»

I smile lightly:

«Good, do tell them calmly not to do it again if you are able to get close without them running away.»

He sights:

«I'll try…»

He leaves the room and Shachi and Penguin come out of hiding, looking at me in awe:

«Never thought I'd see Captain Law calming down like this so easily.»

«You really are something, Miss Anya.»

I laugh a little:

«Just promise you won't do it again.»

«Promise!»

«Thanks, Miss Anya!»

On that, I walk back to my room.
