"Where are you going Your Highness?" Cyrus asked.
"Out to the beach." Kara said as she placed a light cloak and hood over her head to sheild her from the sun's rays.
"Be careful! You never know if you'll run into pirates out there!" Cyrus called to her.
"I'll be careful." She called back as she left the front door of the castle and went through the front gates of the palace.
"Hey Captain! I see someone who might interest you." Spoke a large blackhaired man.
"Oh?" Asked the captain who was relaxing on the deck with his hat placed over his eyes. "And who would that be?"
"It's the Princess of this country." Said Jean Bart.
"And why would I be interested in the Princess? I'm a Pirate. And she's royalty."
"So you aren't interested in the people fallowing her?"
"Who's fallowing her?" The man asked sitting up. He looked and saw some bandits about fifty yards away from where she was. "Are you implying we help her?" He paused then said, "I guess we should. Even though I'm a pirate."
Jean smirked at his captain.
They had driven their ship and had landed ashore.
Kara looked towards the ship and and saw a Jolly Roger's smiley face on the ship's flag.
All of a sudden a pirate wearing a white hat with brown spots on it had jumped in front of her.
"You better get out of here Princess. Before they catch you." Spoke the man who appeared to be the leader of the group as he glanced back at her.
"Who-?" Kara asked.
"Trafalgar Law." Spoke the man as he faced the wouldbe kidnappers/assassins.
Kara had turned away and quickly left the area and went back home to the palace.
"You're Highness?" Carissa asked looking at Kara as she went towards her rooms.
"I'm okay. I'm just a little exhausted from my walk. The weather was hotter then I had thought it would be." Kara said smiling at her dressing maid.
"I shall bring you a glass of water right away." Carrisa said turning around and walked down the hallway.
"Thank you." Kara said as she entered her room and began taking her cloak and hood off. She smiled as she had thought about the one pirate she had met. He seemed to be a kind person for protecting her for the moment.
A few moments later Carissa brought her a tall glass of ice water.
"Thanks." Kara said sipping the water from the straw.
"Sure." Carissa paused then said smiling. "You had returned from your walk pretty quickly."
"I had almost gotten into a bad situation when I was walking on the beach." Kara paused then said, "it seems someone was fallowing me. But I didn't notice until some pirates showed up and told me to leave the place."
"Pirates showed up and warned you of being fallowed?" Carissa asked as she had begun to unclasp her long hair and began brushing through Kara's long blond locks.
"Yeah," Kara said sighing slightly.
"Don't tell me the Princess has fallen for a Pirate?" Carissa asked looking a little shocked. "Who was it?"
"His name was Trafalgar Law." Kara said.
Carissa stopped her hand in midstroke. "Don't tell me you've fallen for him!" Carissa whispered harshly.
"I haven't fallen for anyone Carissa. I'm just telling you the name of the pirate who had warned me of the dangerous men fallowing me."
"I hope you don't get involved with them further. Pirates are very dangerous." Carissa paused then asked, "you probably don't know his nickname either since you don't read the papers."
"His nickname?" Kara asked curiously.
"His nickname is 'Surgeon of Death'." Carissa said.
"'Surgeon of Death'?" Kara asked.
"Yes." Carissa paused then said. "Although that is his nickname. I don't know why he's called that."
"I see." Kara paused then said. "It's not like I'll ever see them or their kind again. Pirates belong on the sea. And I belong on the land." Kara said as she went over towards her window and opened the white silk curtains and unlocked the latch of the glass doors to her favorite balcony to where she loved watching the sunset.
"Room" Law paused then said as he swung his sword, "Shambles!"
"What in the hell!" Yelled one of the other guys that had their head taken off and had it switched onto the body next to him.
"Why were you after the Princess?" Law asked looking at them. "Think of how you answer very carefully. Otherwise you might not be able to go back together."
"We were ordered to do so!" Yelled one person.
"Ordered by who?"
"We don't know his name!"
"He never revealed anything about himself! We never seen his face!" Yelled the third kidnapper.
"Please! Let us go! We swear not to go near the Princess again!"
"Alright, I'll let you go." Law paused then said grinning as he said, "sayanara." Law said as he had killed the wouldbe kidnappers.
"Great job Captain." Spoke the bear walking up to him.
"It's what they deserved for going after someone who's important to their country." Law said walking towards his ship. "Let's get going."
"You don't want to visit her?" Jean asked.
"Like I could get close to the Palace. There's no way for me to see her and tell her the kidnappers were defeated."
"I wasn't talking about the situation with the kidnappers Captain." Jean said. "I think it was easy to tell from her eyes. She's glad to meet you. She might even be thinking of you now."
"Then I must be lucky to have her thinking of me." Law said smiling a little.
Kara had stood watching the sun begin to lower in the sky as the day was beginning to end and early evening was coming.
Carissa had walked over towards her and placed a light shawl around her shoulders. "Here Your Highness."
"Thanks," Kara said smiling at her. "I wonder how everything went?"
"Seeing that Trafalgar-san is a famous pirate. I'm sure he's just fine." Carissa said smiling at her.
"Do you think we'll see him again?" Kara asked curiously.
"You have fallen for him. Haven't you?" Carissa asked.
"Is it so bad if I find him attractive?" Kara asked looking at her.
"I don't know." Carissa said looking at her.
Law had laid down on his ship. He had closed his eyes and began to doze off to sleep.
"Are you really going to be sleeping Captain?" Bepo asked looking at him.
"I'm just relaxing, Bepo." Law said looking at him.
"He's thinking about the Princess. I bet she's doing the same thing." Jean said smirking at Law.
"Are you so sure I'm thinking about her?" Law asked almost glaring at them.
"Your getting defensive from the teasing Captain." Jean said. "That's a definate sign you're thinking of the Princess."
"Okay. I guess I'm thinking about her. I'm still wondering why those bastards were after her." Law said. "I wonder if I could try and sneak into the castle to see how she's doing. I think I'll try it tonight."
