Full Summary: Kira Yaiba is a bounty hunter who gets caught up in our favorite pirate crew. Now she has to deal with the crew, rescue her friends, and fight her growing love for the crews swordsman, all while trying to keep her secret from getting out. Follow Kira as she deals with pain, betrayal, piracy, and love. The first part of a two part series.

A/N: I wish I could say this is Kira but it's not :( It's actually her besty Gail (Yeah, as in Moonlit-Gail) As of now, I'm posting an updating this for my friend because her computer is a schitzo douche. The thing works one day then crashes the next. I swear it does that just to torment Kira. But don't worry, if she has anything funny to say, I'll definitely put it in the author note along with my own commentary :D

Don't forget to review for my besty please. And she would also appreciate constructive criticism. Now remember, there's a difference between constructive criticism and hateful bashing. The latter is not appreciated and we sure as hell don't tolerate it. Now, while Kira would just say please don't do it, but I will say that and add more. Your mama has probably told you this but I'm gonna reiterate: If you ain't got nothing nice to say, you should shut your pie hole and keep moving!

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Excuse my friends grammar and spelling. I've tried to fix as much as I can but until Kira find's herself a Beta or something, you'll have to put up with Kira's butchering of the English language. I swear, I wonder how she passes LA!


One Piece- Live by Your Blade- Part One.

'If this bastard doesn't get his hands off of me within the next ten seconds, he's going to wish he was never born!' you thought as you let out a low growl. "Oh, so you're a feisty one, eh? Perfect." a greasy, young man said, smirking. You were not in a good situation right now. You were chained up to a wall of an abandoned warehouse. In the middle of an island. Where no one can hear you scream. The worst part of the situation, to you, was your beloved swords lay broken, just out of reach. The sight of them dulled and broken almost brought tears to your eyes. Almost. You spit in the man's face. "Why you little bitch!" The man sneered, slapping you across the cheek. You spit out some blood and smirked. "Is that the best you got? I've been hit harder by little girls." This little comment of yours made him even madder. Not one of your better ideas.

The man took out a dagger an positioned it at your stomach. You just remained there, impassive. You were not afraid of death. If you were, how could you accomplish your dream? To your surprise, and dismay, though, he didn't plunge the weapon into you. Oh no. He used it to cut your black muscle shirt strait down the middle, exposing your black sports bra. He quickly discarded the piece of fabric that was once your shirt and stared at you with hungry eyes. "You know your wanted poster said the marines wanted you dead or alive. Nothing said I can't have fun with you before I kill you." he said. Your eyes widened. 'Oh, crap.' was the only thing that ran through your mind at the moment. He reached down and slowly unbuttoned your black, baggy, cargo pants.

The chains hanging from them clinked together as you struggled against you bindings. The man punched your gut, knocking the wind out of you. You lurched forward on impact, your dark brown bangs shadowing your eyes. When you stopped moving the man began again, slowly unzipping your pants. 'This is it.' you thought. The man took this opportunity to crash his lips onto yours in a rough kiss. Your eyes widened in shock. He forced his way into you mouth as you were too stunned to do anything. You just stayed their frozen. Your mind clouded over. Your eyes dulled. You couldn't do anything. This was really it….

Suddenly, you heard a crash coming from the direction of the entrance to the warehouse. As your senses came back, you realized your situation. You bit down on the man's tongue. Hard. He retreated quickly as you spit out the metallic tasting liquid you drew from him. Another crash was heard and this time the man noticed as well. You heard shouts coming from the same direction of the crashes and listened, straining to hear the voices. "Meat! Meat! Meat!" You recognized the chanting voice as a male. "There's no meat in hear, you blubbering idiot!" This voice was female. "You should know by now our captain's practically mental." Another, deeper, male voice said, but this one was calmer than the other. A group of kids, in there mid to late teens, stopped in front of you and the man, more than likely containing the owners to the voices.

You stared at them, blood trickling down the side of your mouth. You studied them for a minute, judging most of them to be about you age, maybe a couple years younger for some. The man stepped up to them, dagger in hand. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" He sneered at them. That's when the group noticed you. Hanging right in front of them, your feet barely touching the ground. All that was covering you was your unzipped pants, black sports bra, and the dozens of scars that littered your body. But something caught their eye. It was a little piece of metal on your stomach. Yes, that's right folks. Kira Yiaba has a belly button ring. It was a shining silver in the shape of a dolphin, and it's eye was a glimmering amethyst jewel.

'Are they just going to stand there?' you thought, sending them a questioning gaze. "Bastard! That's no way to treat a woman!" a boy around your age, with blond hair, wearing a suit and tie, and smoking a cigarette, said. 'Is this guy for real?' you thought, raising an eyebrow. "I'll treat her however the hell I want! When I'm done with her, I'll kill her, turn her body in to the marines, and become rich off her bounty!" he declared. 'Damn! If only I had my swords!' you growled in your head, glaring at his back. "This girl has a bounty? No way!" A boy with shaggy black hair, covered by a straw hat, said. You recognized the voice as the dubbed 'blubbering idiot', and you couldn't help but agree with the girl that called him that.

"Don't sound so surprised!" you yelled at him. You couldn't help it, he dealt a blow to your pride. "A bounty! Of course she has a bounty! This 'girl' is Kira Yiaba. The famous bounty hunter! Her name literally means 'killer blade'! She was second only to Roronoa Zoro! And I captured her!" the man boasted. "She's the best bounty hunter, huh? Doesn't look like much to me." said a boy with…green hair? He was about your age. Nice build. Carried three katanas at his side. And three golden earrings, dangling from his ear. All in all, he wasn't half bad to look at. And if your mind wasn't so clouded, you probably would have recognized him.

Unfortunately for him, he, like the other boy, dealt a blow to your pride. "Doesn't-? Doesn't look like much! I'll show you 'doesn't look like much'!" You screamed thrashing against the shackles. You hated being underestimated. "The only reason Roronoa Zoro is the best, is because I never got a chance to fight him!" you screamed. The guy with the green hair had an amused expression on his face. He walked up to you, drew one of his swords, and cut the shackles that were holding you up. You were so shocked that when you dropped to the ground you stumbled a bit before righting yourself again. He walked a bit before turning to face you. "Well then, lets fight." he said smirking. "Fight? Oh, god. You're Roronoa Zoro?" You asked, shocked. 'Me and my big mouth.' you thought.

You basically just said that the greatest pirate hunter in the East Blue, was weaker than you, right to his face. And if the rumors you heard were true, he's just as easily angered when it comes to his pride as you are. It's not that you doubted your ability at all, it's just, you really are in no condition to fight right now. Especially sense that man-. You cut off your thoughts as you remembered the man was still there. You quickly scanned the room for him, and saw him trying to escape. You charge at him and dealt a deadly kick to his ribs, causing him to go flying across the building. When he smashed against the wall, you heard a sickening crunch, which you could only guess came from a couple broken bones. Not that you cared.

You stalked over to him, like a lioness stalking her prey. "That was for catching me off guard." You dealt another blow. "That's for trying to rape me." Finally you slammed your foot into his head, smashing his scull in. "And that's for breaking my katanas!" you screamed in anger. The group of teens flinched at the sight of the man's head smashed.

As if mentioning your katanas broke some kind of spell, you immediately ran to them. Your feet leaving bloody foot prints, in your wake. You bent down next to them, and dropped your head, eyes shadowed by your bangs. 'Father, brother, you entrusted me with you swords and I let you down.' You thought as your eyes filled with tears, but you didn't let one fall.

'This is going to come back and haunt me I just know it.' you thought, looking up from under your bangs. "Roronoa Zoro…" you spoke up. The group of teens stared at you questioningly. "I know the chance to do battle with you might not come again soon, but…I can't right now. I know we will cross paths again, and when that time comes I will fight you…and I will win." you said determined, tears forgotten.

Without waiting for a response from your long time idol (not that you would ever say that to his face), you turned on your heel, katanas in your arms, and started towards your only exit. You took about two steps before you heard some of them gasp. "W-what happened t-to your b-back?" one of them stuttered. You heard feet clanking on the concrete telling you that they stepped up. You turned around to see a little…deer-like creature? It was walking on two legs, had a pink hat on, and had a blue nose. The little guy's antlers barely came up to your hip.

'God, this group's weird.' you thought, with a slight chuckle. "What do you mean?" you asked, tilting your head to the side, cutely. "You have a huge scar on you back! How do you take it so calmly!" You glanced at the slightly younger boy, that was talking. He had long nose, curly hair that was kept out of his face by a bandana and a pair of goggles, and you could just make out a slingshot at the side of his overalls. You cocked an eyebrow him, watching him flip out. On your back was an inch-wide scar that goes from your right shoulder to your left hip. It hurt like hell when you got it about a week ago, but now the pain was gone, so you didn't think much of it.

"Uhh…if you hadn't noticed, I'm a swordswomen. I got scars all over my body. It's not that big of a deal." you said. "H-how did you get it?" you glanced over to an orange haired girl. She looked about a year or two younger than you. "A fight." you said simply. You chuckled as you practically saw steam coming out of her ears. 'Quick temper.' you thought. "No duh! Who did you fight!" she almost screamed at you. "Oh." You scratched the back of your head. " 'Hawk-eye' Mihawk." you answered. " 'Hawk-eye' Mihawk! Are you crazy! You fought him and lived!" 'long-nose', as you dubbed him in your head, shouted. " It's shouldn't be surprising, you know. I am aiming to be the world's greatest swordswomen. I'd have to fight him eventually. I just used that battle to gage how much more I need to train in order to beat him. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. He was passing by and I, being the idiot I am, challenged him. Didn't think he would actually let me live. I kind of wish hadn't, though." you mumbled the last part.

"Why?" You were shocked that the 'blubbering idiot' actually heard you. You contemplated on whether or not to tell them. Not seeing anything wrong with it, you decided 'Why not'. "He dealt the finishing blow to my back. That's shameful to a swordsman. Back in the day, to dishonor a swordsman you'd slash their back and leave them to live. If you wanted to kill them, use it as the finishing blow. Either way it's shameful." you said looking down. "That's stupid!" You felt your eyebrow twitch in anger at his statement.

"You were left alive. Think of it as a blessing. So what if you got slashed in the back! It's just a fight!" The 'blubbering idiot' said, laughing. "Just a fight? Just a Fight? Who do you think you are?" you screamed at him, outraged. "Monkey D. Luffy! I'm going to be the pirate king!" He shouted, laughing. "I still don't get why your so upset." He said, seeing your mad face. "Luffy, shut up." Zoro hissed under his breath, knowing were your coming from, being a swordsman himself.

Luffy didn't hear him however. "You don't get it? When you get shamed in a battle you can't just laugh it off. Being a swordsmen is a life style, not just a hobby! You live by your blade! I can't speak for any other swordsman, but I can speak for myself! I'd rather die than be shamed by another's blade!" As you ranted on a strong gust of wind picked up, and your eyes flashed a glowing ice blue. You turned on you heels and fled the scene, clutching your swords to your chest, not caring that they cut your arms.

"Idiot!" the girl with orange hair said, smacking the back of his head. Luffy just grinned like the idiot he is. "I want her on my crew!" he shouted. "Why? You just basically made fun of her life style. And she was such a pretty girl to." The blond hair boy, sighed, taking a drag of his cigarette. "I was testing her. Seeing if she would stick up for it. She past!" Luffy said. "Again I say, our captains an idiot." Zoro sighed. "G-guys. T-take a look at t-this." The deer said kneeling next to the place you were standing at. "What is it Chopper?" 'long nose' asked. Everyone gathered around Chopper to see what was so important. There, right where you were standing, was a pool of blood. The rest of the crew glanced at each other, before following after you, quickly.

With You

'Stupid idiot! God, not even a week and I already showed my powers, again. Hope they didn't notice. Ashley would kill me if they did.' You sighed at the thought of one of your best friends. You chuckled slightly at the thought of all the times Ashley scolded you and your other friend Tori, for something stupid you did, Hana already cleaning up the mess you made. You sighed. 'I hope we meet again soon.' you thought. You finally got to the dock, seeing your little dingy, you sighed in relief. You were a couple steps away from it when you suddenly collapsed. 'What the-' your thought was cut off when you are attacked by sudden waves of pain. Your head started spinning as you slowly tried to get up. When you were finally standing, you gritted your teeth in pain. You looked behind you to see a trail of blood leading all the way back to the wear house. You gently placed your katanas down and settled next to them, breathing heavily. 'How the hell did I not notice this sooner.' you thought groaning in pain.

"Hey, there she is!" you quickly jumped to your feet in an offensive stance, causing your head to spin and you to get dark spots in your line of vision. You relaxed slightly noticing it was just the group from before. "I want you to join my pirate crew!" Luffy shouted. "Not going to happen. I won't ever become a pirate." you growled as the others caught up to their hyperactive captain.

"Why not?" he sounded genuinely confused. 'Why not! You idiot!' you were about to say your thoughts out loud, when a particularly painful sensation racked your body. You hissed and gritted you teeth. It was almost unbearable. You shut your eyes tight waiting for it to go away.

"Hey, you alright?" you heard Zoro's voice ask. You nodded slightly, when another painful tremor happened. You stopped mid-nod and quickly shook your head 'no'. "Turn around." You recognized the voice of the little deer, tell you. You slowly turned around, and heard several of the group gasp. You were about to ask what was wrong, when your vision got really blurry.

You lost your balance and fell backwards. You thought your back was going to connect with the wooden dock, and you shut your eyes waiting for the pain. When it didn't come, and you felt a pair of strong arms encircle your waist, and your back, instead, made contact with something firm, but soft at the same time, you opened your eyes to get a glimpse of green in your still blurry vision. 'Zoro?' was your last thought before being completely consumed by darkness.
