"You called for me sir?" a short girl with long brown hair tied into a high ponytail called knocking on a door, and saluted to a man behind a desk.

"That I did, Captain Aj," nodded a man wearing a seagull hat, "I assume that you heard about the pirate that was brought into Impel Down?"

"Yes, his name's Portgas D. Ace right?" the girl nodded, furrowing her brows, "The second division commander of the White Beard Pirates."

"Yes, you are correct," the man nodded, "I have a job for you."

"What job would that be, Sir?" the girl asked, standing in front of the desk.

"Since he's a high priority prisoner," the man continued, "We've decided that he needs a guard watching him at all times and since you are one of our best captains you will be his guard."

"When will I be leaving to Impel Down, Sir?" the girl asked.

"You will be leaving in 30 minutes so be ready when the ship gets here.," the man informed the girl.

"Then I'll be taking my leave then, Sir.," the girl saluted, closing the door behind her.

Aj was a short girl (4 feet, 8 inches) with greyish-blue eyes. She had on a mint-green shirt and black pants along with a pair of black-leather, steel-toed combat boots. She had her white captain Marine issued jacket with mint-green on the sleeves.

"Portgas D. Ace," Magellan called through the cell, "You have a new guard coming, try not to piss this one off like the others that were brought here to guard you."

"They started it," Ace smirked at Magellan, "Maybe you should think about bringing guards that have a sense of humor."

"Keep acting cocky," Magellan glared, walking upstairs, "Because your days are number."

"Was that really necessary?" Jinbei inquired.

"Let me have some fun Jinbei while I still can," Ace smirked, glancing up when he heard footsteps approaching, and saw a short girl come towards the cell, "What is a little girl doing here?"

"That's funny," Aj narrowed her eyes, sitting down at a chair close by the cell, "Smart-ass."

"Oooh, you swore," Ace smirked, talking to the back of Aj's head (she was sitting with her back facing him), "I don't think little girls should be swearing."

Don't talk to him…don't talk…Aj chanted in her mind, knowing he was trying to get her to talk, trying to ignore him, only to glance over upon hearing snores coming from the cell, a large sweatdrop appeared on her head upon seeing Ace sleeping, then snapping back awake, This guy is supposed to be dangerous?
