CHAPTER 1
Low light of sun was reaching in dark room trough the curtain directly on a girl who was sitting on bed naked, illuminating her tattoos on her back. She lighted her cigarette, and stood up. Without looking back, with hoarse voice she said:
''Hey, you! Wake up, pack your things and go out. I'm going to shower and when I finish, I don't want to see you here.''
''Woha, Sumire! You are harsh. Be more gently, you are girl after all.'' with half asleep voice replied a guy who was laying on her bed, and sat up.
''Shut up, and get out.'' she replied, and went in bathroom. He smiled, and mumbled:
''Harsh and rude as always.'' And started to pack his things, wearing clothes on. ''But she is amazing in bed.'' Then left with smile.
''Good thing that I ran into Law yesterday, or else I would fuck another random guy and kill him.'' She tought while showering. ''After all, he is good in bed.''
After shower, she left her room and went to the city. She lost in crowd of people, avoiding to think about anythink, just following the flow moving of people. After some time walking, her stomach started rumbling. ''oh, I'm hungry. Let's go to eat.'' And went to the nearest restaurant. It was crowded, people was making noise and got scared over something. She frowned and forced her way to bar. She ordered her food, and asked man who was working there what is happening.
''Oh, miss. A guy who is next to you just collapsed in middle of eating. Everyone is worried and we think that he is dead.''
She looked on her right side to see what is he talking about, and she really saw a guy collapsed, whit his face in food, and raised his arm into air. She recognized his tattoo on his back, slighty smiled and turned back at the barmen.
''Don't worry, he isn't dead. I can tell it.'' Big smile.
''Are you sure, miss? Oh, here you go your food.''
''Yeah, I'm sure. Please could you send off those people. They are annoying and disturbing my lunch.''
He nooded, and sent off people away from bar, so she started in silent eat her lunch. After a two bites of lunch, she looked back at him. With faint smile, she sent him some pains in his back without touching him. He suddenly woke up screaming, and fell of the chair on floor. He immediately stood up, looking around him and opened fire in his hand. People in the bar got scared and screamed, running out the restaurants. Some of them stayed on their chairs thinking in their minds ''Oh, he is FireFist Ace.'' Some of them thought ''So, he wasn't dead,after all.'' Sumire chuckled, his reaction was too hilarious. Ace looked around and realised that everything is fine, and nobody isn't attacking him. But Sumire's chuckling caught his attention, so he looked at her carefully sitting back on his place coutinuing eat.
She ignored his stare, and without looking at him she was eating. After finishing lunch, she paid and before leaving she asked Ace:
''I hope you had beatiful sleep.'' and left.
He frowned, turning at barmen:
''Who is she, and what she did to me?''
''Sir, I don't know who is she and what she did to you. But she said to me that you aren't dead. Everyone here in restaurant were worried about you and thought you are dead because you suddenly fell asleep in middle of eating.''
Ace was still frowning, noded, paid his lunch and left the restaurant quickly. He wanted to catch up with this girl. But she was really quick, and he lost sight of her. He clenched teeth and went to walk aroud the city.
Sumire was walking aroud the city, and she saw a poster on the wall of one house in the street what caught in her eye. She looked up on this poster and smiled. Party, eh? I like it, sake for cheap , yeah talking about money, I need make more money because I don't have that much. Only for pay hotel. Whatever, I will manage. And walked away. Far away she bumped into a group of pirates, fat and rude looking. They were impeding her path, when they noticed her, they surrounded her with dirty smiles on faces.
''Move.'' Sumire said annoyed.
''Woha woha, watch out your 't be in such hurry, you beatiful girl.'' One of those guys said
''Whatever, just clear the path and move. You are annoying.''
''Hey, don't talk like this. Or else you will regret, young lady. Don't you know who we are, and who is our captain? We have bounty on our heads!'' said second guy to her.
She lazy looked at him, pretend that she is getting to be interested in them. Bounties? Hehehe, interesing. Perfect timing.
''Oh, my my. My apologises. Can you say who are you? Because I'm a bit sly and forgetfull. Please, forgive me.'' She replied them with dazzling smile.
Second guy got dragged in her dazzling smile and blushed. ''Oh, don't worry, miss. We will forgive you.''
''We are Flick pirates, our Captain is Ryoga and his bounty is 10 000 belli.'' Said other guy, and when he introduced their captain, captain stood up to show himself and came near to Sumire.
''Only 20 000 beri?'' Sumire replied with disappointed voice. ''I tought you have more bounties. No wonder I never heard of you.''
That made captain pissed ''You bitch! You will pay for this, and for your information – in my crew are three more people with bounties on their heads. Tofu has 10 000 beri, Mariko has 2 000, and Moulin has 4 000 beri.'' He grabed her hair rough, but she ignored it caculating in her head. Including him, that would be in total 36 000 beri. Perfect for tonight's sake.
''Since you are beatiful, and got nice body I will go easy on you. So choice – join to our crew and be our slave, or I will kill you.''
''Wow, how kind of you. But why would you make me your slave? I'm scared that you would need to force me to be your slave, and yeah you can't kill me because I have to live!''
Captain shuddered, something in her made him a bit scared but he ignored it because he didin't want to be scared of some mere woman. That would be shame for man. ''You bitch!'' and started to punch her. Sumire smiled and idily watching his fist how is coming to near her face, mumbled some ''spell''. His fist froze in middle of air, he relase her hair and screamed of pain.
''AAAGHRHH, wh-wh-, AARHGHH.''
Whole crew were frozen seeing this scene, seeing their captain kneeling and screaming of pain. But few of them assebled and started attack her. She closed her eyes ''Itami itami no zenshin.''
Few of them fell down and screamed. The rest of crew ignored them, and with swords started to attack her. She pulled of her sword what was on her left hip and started to fight them.
In far away of them, Ace was stooding thinking ''Woha, they attacked her. Should I help her or ignore her?'' Half of him wanted help her, because he has etiquete to protect women, but half of him wanted make reverenge on her because she disturbed his sleep and meal. He clenched teeth, took breathe and went ahead to help her.
''Ittoryu maru no kaze.'' She just turned to repel a attack what was comming from her back, but she saw her top of hair burning and a man falling down on screamed and started to extinguishing flame on her hair. When she extinguished flame, she looked up to see what the heck happened and what was cause of burning her hair. Ace was standing in front of her, with slighty smile.
''Are you okay, miss?'' he asked politely.
''Am I okay? My ass! You just burned my hair, you asshole!'' she screamed on him, and carried into his face. ''Do you know how precious is my hair?''
''Calm down, calm down! I'm really sorry!'' Ace stepped back with raised hands in air.
Sumire irritatetly sighed, cleaned her sword into sheat.
''Whatever. Next time be more careful, or else you will burn something you don't want.'' and she started going away from him, but he stopped her grabbing her arm.
''Wait, don't go yet. I have some questions for you. By the way we are even now.''
Sumire raised up her eyebrow: 'What do you want and what did you mean by We are even now?''
''Well, you disturbed me in my sleep and meal.''
''Oh, that. Sorry for that.'' Arrogant smile.
He ignored her arrogant attitude ''Well, I wanted to ask you what did you do me back in restaurant, and to those guys? They were screaming in pain.''
She turned him back, and started to tie guys. ''Good question, what did I do them, and as well you? I made them scream of pain. Simply.''
''How?'' he joined her in tying them up.
''Simple. I entered in their brain and order them to feel pain.'' Smile. ''Oh, thank you for tying them up. I will go now with them to marine base. See you, and have nice day.''
She picked them and left to marine base. He followed her to half way, and waited her a far awy from marine base. She enterned in, throwing guys on floor.
''Here you go, four useless pirates. I don't know why you gave them such bounties.'' She said to two young and stupidly look marine officers. ''It will be in total 36 000 beries.''
They checked wanted list,give her some papers to sign and money. She signed, took moneys and left. It was quickly made, enough quick, not giving them enough time to recognize her. She was pretty famous, she and her body full of tattooes, her noticeable violet eyes. But she was wearing sunglasses to prevent her eyes from people's eyes.
When she left the marine base, one of marine officer said ''Wait, didn't it be Sumire? The famous pirate with tattoo on right arm. Chains with padlock?''
''Shut up! Be silent! Do you want to be killed by her?'' second officer screamed on him shutting him up. ''She doesn't have for nothing that much bounty on her head. Do you think that we can beat her up?''
He noded and said ''Yeah, you are right! Let's be silent about it and pretend we didn't see her.''
She was walking satisified, in right arm full of moneys. Perfect, now I can drink sake! But she frowned when she saw Ace in the distance. When she came near to him she asked:
''What do you want now? Half of my money?''
He smiled, he liked her arrogant attitude. ''No, I want to talk with you a bit more because I'm a bit curios.''
Sumire rolled eyes. ''Well,I don't have choices then. What do you want to know?''
''I want to know how did you make them scream of pain and who are you, beatiful lady?'' he innocently and stupiditly smiled.
She couldn't smile at his stupiditly smile and innocents. ''You really want to know? Well, I will demostrate it to you.'' With smile she mumbled ''Hikui itami itami no ashi.'' and made his right leg to feel a low pain. He stepped back, and shook his leg.
''Whoa, that hurted. What kind of devil fruit you ate?''
''Itami itami no fruit.''
''Hmm, interesing, but powerful! And you haven't still said your name?''
''When are you asking someone's name, you have first introduce yourself.''
''Oh, my apologises. I'm Portgas...''
''I'm Sumire, and I know who are you. The famous FireFist Portgas D. Ace. Everyone know about you.''
''Sumire? Hmm, I heard about you... Oh yeah, you have bounty 400 milion beris, don't you?''
''Yeah, that's true.'' she replied and turned him back, starting walk.
''How the heck did you get that much bounty?'' Ace asked her and catched her up.
''Ah, the wrong place in wrong time.''
He chuckled ''True. Hey, do you want join me at dinner?''
Sumire glanced at him ''Dinner? Only if you pay it.''
''Cmooon, you just earned money now!''
''Yeah, but I will spend them on tonight's party. Tonight they are selling cheap sake. C H E A P.'' Big smile.
He rolled eyes. What crazy woman. ''Well, I will join you on party, so join me to dinner and I will pay your meal.''
''Okay, deal. Let's go.'' She smiled and they left.
