Hello, everybody! I'm Kuina Spirit from France.My fiction already exists in French ("Mystérieuse femme fatale!"), and it is finished. I try to traslate it in English. It's my first fiction in English, so it's possible I make mistakes in vocabulary and grammar (I'm not bilingual ;) ). But I hope you will enjoy it, and be indulgent :)
Characters of this fiction are properties of Eiichiro Oda (except some of them)
I) A fatal woman!
"Stiahahahahaha! Good joke man!"
The pirate beckoned to the barman, who gave him a new glass of rum in silence.
"You try to tell me that girl over there has beaten this brute of Raylon! You're joking!"
"Shhh! The pirate exclaimed, if she hears us… You don't know, maybe she is a brute!"
The young woman, designed by the pirates, took her glass, and drank a sip calmly. Long black hair in ponytail, sunglasses hiding her eyes in spite of the darkness of the tavern, a purple T-shirt, jean holes.
"Stiahahahahaha ! Sorry guy, ' can't believe that lie!"
"But I am serious!" the pirate exclaimed.
"Maybe he fell in the coma because of alcohol! The other replied. But beaten by this little insect…"
The other pirate swallowed with difficulties, when the young girl smiled to him, waving at him.
"I… I will get some fresh air outside…"
"STIAHAHAHAHAHA ! Wimp!"
The young girl stood up a little moment after. The mocking pirate discretely looked at her, and when he saw her going outside, he whistled.
"Eh! Lit' girl! I heard that you know how to fight."
"Apparently, yeah" she replied in a monotonous voice, without looking at him.
"Hoho… And what are you doing his this tavern, full of pirates?"
"I'm looking for some targets to train myself."
"STIAHAHAHAHA!"
A knife brushed the pirate's ear, and finished its way knocking in the wall, in a bounty, between the eyes of a wanted pirate's photography… This pirate.
"What… the…?"
"Didn't you want an example? She asked, smiling. Here it is!"
She went out, leaving the pirate, astounded. Other customers laughed.
"…This kid is a fury… the pirate thought. I have to save my honour!"
He suddenly stood up, and all the pirates stopped laughing.
"This child is dead…" a pirate murmured to his companions sitting at the same table.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Luffy got off, looking at the harbour, smelling the air.
"It smells rosbeef!" the young straw hat boy exclaimed.
"And I smell problems if you don't stay calm!" Nami retorted.
The crew got off to the quay. Robin stood up, above of the gangway.
"I am staying here, she said. This book I found is full of mystery…"
"Okay!" Luffy exclaimed.
"I am staying here too! Usopp hastily cut, climbing on the ship. I feel an attack of I-am-allergic-at-the-gloomy-atmosphere-of-this-island! I might faint and have an important allergic reaction…"
Actually, Usopp just saw a crew of pirates, who all looked like strong brutes… And seemed to be good targets for Luffy… And he didn't want to run the risk of being killed. Chopper hastened to do the same as his long nose friend.
"Sorry, Robin Chan! Sanji exclaimed, gesticulating to the woman. But I have to go shopping…"
Robin was already laid on a couch on the deck to read her book, and she didn't seem to have heard Sanji, apologizing to her. Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Sanji went in the port city, sometimes seeing drunk men who were singing, as coarse songs, or Chicken Dance with choreography…
"…It remembers me Jaya" Nami murmured, worried.
"Don't be anxious, Nami San! Sanji exclaimed. I'm here to protect you!"
"Anyway, Zoro added, we are a little inactive at the moment, so I'm OK for a training!"
"Stupid brute! Sanji cut. You will shock Nami Swan with your stupid fight!"
"Listen!" Luffy shouted.
Jovial shouts could be heard, not far.
"A FIIIIIIIGHT!" Luffy screamed, running to the source of the sound.
The other members of his crew didn't react immediately, motionless. Image of the back of their head, big drop on their hair.
"'Doesn't surprise me" Zoro murmured.
"Please, we don't need problems…" Nami added, her hand joined as she was prying.
"Follow him" Sanji finished.

"GO SLYCE!"
"KILL HER!"
"SHOW HER!"
The pirate from the tavern took his sword, while the young girl, who irritated him, took on her back a sort of spear, with a sword blade, but with a long wooden handle.
"This is dangerous, this kind of weapon, girl! You could injure yourself with that…"
"Shut up, the young woman retorted in a smile. That's right, it is very sharp, but it will injure you, Slyce Topor… Am I right?"
The pirate smiled.
"Do you know me?"
"Yes, the girl said. You're wanted."
"Yeah… Are you a bounty hunter?"
"Not exactly! I just want to have fun by eliminating big brutes who reply to my challenge!"
The pirate turned red, furious.
"YOU HAVE PRONOUNCED YOUR LAST WORDS!"
Luffy and his companions were looking the cause of the disturbing… and saw a pirate charging at a young girl who might not be more than seventeen.
"She's going to be killed!" Sanji shouted, ready to act, but caught by Nami.
"No, Sanji! Nami yelled. The Log Pose isn't reloaded, it's not the time to have problems! And not so far in our trip!"
Sanji took off his cigarette, blowing smoke.
"If she is in danger, don't stop me, Nami San…"
"The same" Zoro added.
"As you, guys" Luffy said.
"…"
Nami stayed silent. Too bad, she had tried to hold them up…
"OH! Luffy shouted. Look at that!"
During their discussion, Slyce had fallen on the ground, but he stood up.
"She stands up to him!" Nami guffawed.
"A fatal woman!" Sanji shouted in a lovely way.
The girl moved away from the pirate, holding her spear in his direction.
"Little pest… he murmured. I will not save you!"
"You're talkative, but you're not very active!" she sniggered.
"COME ON!"
The pirate charged at her… who stayed motionless.
"What is she doing? Zoro exclaimed. She will be thro…"
The girl put the blade of her spear in the ground, without difficulties, held the handle, and dashed forward.
"Infernal rotation!"
She described a half circle around the handle, her foot shooting violently the pirate's face.
"Projection JUMP!"
She snapped the handle, knocking down her enemy, and her standing on him. She removed her spear from the floor very quickly, and put the sharp of the blade near the pirate's neck. Slyce, stunned, screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! MERCYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Luffy was looking at the girl, who won easily the fight against the brute, smiling.
"You wanted to kill me, right?" she said calmly in a smile.
"I WAS JOKING!" Slyce yelled.
"WE'RE HERE, CAPTAIN!"
A lot of the pirates who were looking the fight around them ran in the circle, charging at the girl, who seemed a little surprised, in spite off her sunglasses which hid a part of her face. Luffy put correctly his straw hat, Zoro drew his swords, Sanji raised his leg… And Nami seemed desperate…
"Cowards! Sanji shouted, kicking a pirate, who flew before violently crashed into the wall of a house. Together fighting against a helpless young lady!"
Helpless wasn't a good word… Luffy and Zoro realized it. Between two knocks or two pirates slashed, they could see the girl fighting with agility, using perfectly her spear, went on supple movements as she was executing a choreography during a show, giving precise and powerful blows to her enemies. Realizing she sorted it out, they began to move away of the fighting zone, without stopping knocking pirates.
"A helpless young lady, Zoro sniggered. Put on your glasses, Prince…"
"I DON'T ALLOW YOU TO CALL ME THAT NAME!" Sanji yelled.
Nami knocked them on their head.
"No comment, sirs!"
Calmly, the group looked at the girl who was finishing her battle with the last pirate, with a big spear blow. She looked up at Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Sanji, ready to charge at them. But she stopped her movement, realizing they weren't enemies of the other crew.
"BRAVO! Sanji exclaimed applauding. Fantastic!"
"That's right, rather good" Nami said, feeling obliged to applause because of the fear of a danger.
"BRILLIANT!" Luffy added, applauding too.
The girl, as an artist who had finished her show, spear in the hand, putting vertically on the ground with the blade pointing at the sky, put a hand on her heart and saluted with modesty.
"Thank you" she said, raising her head in a smile.
Zoro felt suddenly he was observed by the girl, who just became motionless. Then she looked at Luffy.
"Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro…"
"THAT'S IT! Nami yelled. WE HAVE OUR PROBLEMS NOW!"
Zoro put his hand on the handle of Wado Ichimonji. But the girl reacted.
"No no! Don't be anxious! I will not attack you, while you tried to help me!"
To show them she was telling the truth, she put her weapon in her back.
"And you don't seem to be silly brutes as this guy, I think!"
"That depends of whom, Sanji murmured, looking at Zoro, who felt the cook's look.
"Repeat?" Zoro put in order.
"SHUT UP, YOU BOTH!" Nami shouted, knocking them.
Big drop behind the head of the girl.
"You're really strong! Luffy exclaimed.
"Oh, it's just a matter of training! The girl answered, going a little red.
"What's your name? Luffy asked. What are you doing, alone?
"My name is Opale, she answered. I follow a training to make my dream come true."
"Seriously!" Luffy yelled.
"Yes" Opale replied.
"What is your dream?" Luffy asked in a smile.
"I would like to show to someone important to me that I would like to become as him, despite of our differences."
