Hello, again :) I don't know what I'm doing :) It's nothing big, maybe two-shot or a bit longer but I don't think so... I'm sorry but writing about someone's characters and keeping their personalities properly is difficult so Law may not be the same person from manga or anime so I'm sorry but I prefer him a little bit more violent and sadistic than he really is :D
It was getting dark. She knew it was dangerous but she had to. Her drunk father was at home and she couldn't stand him. He hit her everytime when he was in that condition. She wondered if he ever loved her as father should. After her mother death she had only him.. But he started to drink. He accused her for killing his love, because she was the reason of her mother's death. She died giving a birth to child, to her. To make matters worse, she was hungry and thirsty. She hadn't eaten anything since she left home, 3 days ago. She had been wandering around the only one town on the island in order to find something to eat. She looked for food everywhere she could think of…
Her island wasn't pleasant either… it was source of criminals. Young boys were hooligans, young girls could earn some money only in one way. To dimly lit pubs there was coming pirates of the worst ones. Almost everyday someone got killed by "visitors" or by their own neighbour. Noone was safe. The island was located far away from popular tracks so Marines didn't care what actually happened there. It was abandoned by any protectors…
At night it was dangerous. Especially for young girls like her. She was quite pretty but her body was exhausted from dehydration and hunger. She was getting tired but was too afraid of sleeping. A dark alley she was in right now was great hideout but it was like sitting in the lion's cave. She stayed alert always, she had to.
Suddenly she heard someone's footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. Then masculine voices, raspy and loud. There were three or four of them.
"What should I do now?" she asked internally herself. Her breath started to get faster. Her mind sped up "I have to get out of here. But where to? I cannot go home, I won't go to the forest, it's even worse idea…" They got closer "Amongst people it would be safer but now everyone is at their houses and bars are full of pirates… I'm alone here" Desperation overwhelmed her, she could see their shadows on the wall. "If I stay quiet and still they won't see me, it's already dark here"
At that moment some creature, more likely cat jumped on trash bin making it falling to the ground. The sudden metallic noise caught the attention of men. Her heart sank
"Hey did you hear that?" asked one of them.
"Yeah, OI who's there?" replied another "Let's see what's sitting there"
They got even closer to the girl. "I see nothing here, it's too dark" said a shortest one.
"Tsk, stop blabbering already you're annoying me…" said the last one. Everyone immediately got quiet. "Just burn this shit and let's get out of here, I'm starting to feel sick of this place full of trash" he turned on his heel and started to go away..
"OK, boss" the three replied with wide grins on their faces. "Let's have some fun guys" said the shorter one and lit his lighter. Sudden flash of light revealed scared face of the curled in the corner girl. "OI, look at THIS!" shouted the man "A little girl" he smiled wickedly.
"She doesn't seem to be so little. We may have more fun than you thought Mony" said the other man "But boss is gone already I think we should…"
"Oh, shaddup buddy! Let him be. You saw, he is not in the mood" Mony's grin even wider "More fun only for us three " And he started approach the girl.
She started to tremble, "it's not good, it's really bad actually" she thought. "What to do, what to do, what to do?"
He was getting bored. His crew had great time drinking and dancing with some whores but all of those suspicious people who was staring in his direction started to irritate him. Usually it doesn't bother him but that day he wasn't in a mood and didn't want to waste more time in such disgusting place.
"Bepo, tell everyone we are coming back to the sub" he ordered while getting up.
A white polar bear did as he was told so. There was possible to hear complains of the crew in the whole bar. "Oh, but Captain….. can we stay a bit longer? It's great place Captain!" some of them said
"Are you questioning my order, Shachi?" he asked with firm and threatening voice.
"NO n-no no no… Captain!" Shachi knew it was better not to stand against his captain, especially when he was in really crappy mood.
"Good" was all what he said.
It was already dark but on the streets there were plenty of drug-addicts, whores and even some people lying on the ground. It was hard to tell if they were alive. "Anyway what's wrong with town?" asked Penguin when they were outside "The bar was quite pleasant but here it's stinky and disgusting. And those hideous people as well… bleah.."
"In that bar there it was the same" replied Bepo
"Shut up!" Shachi and Penguin yelled at the bear in unison.
"Sorry" said Bepo and suddenly stopped.
"What's going on Bepo?" asked Trafalgar.
"I heard something Captain, as if a muffled scream in near. " Trafalgar seemed not to be affected. He turned and started to head off to the sub again. Everyone followed him.
"Hey come back here you little brat!" a distant shout came from nowhere. After that a young running girl appeared from dark alley. She almost bumped into some of Heart Pirates and again disappeard into darkness. "OI you, where did that little bitch go, heh?" a man rudely asked. "Answer!"
"It would be highly appreciated if you didn't order me around, mister. I really don't like it" was the only answer of Captain of Heart Pirates.
"Fuck you! Where is she?!" yelled his comrade
"I warned you" said Trafalgar in low voice.
