Lucky 7
I don't own One Piece or Slenderman, but the OC is mine. I tried to make the Island a bit Irish, hope you understand something.
Chapter 1: My name is Emer, nice to meet you!
"Penguin, what's the name of the next island?" the hatted navigator looked up from his maps and at his captain "Ireland, captain." He took one of the many maps and showed it to him.
"I see. Do you know anything about it?" Trafalgar Law may be a sadistic pirate captain but he's not suicidal. He had asked Penguin to ask around about the next island when they still where at the previous island.
"Yes. The island is known for dancing, singing, drinking, myths and good fighting skills. According to the people at the previous island they have a saying there, it goes like this 'behave and survive' aka as long as we behave they won't be a threat."
"You said myths, what kind of myths are they?"
"Well they believe that thing like lucky 7and four-leaf clover brings luck. Apparently they believe that if you anger a goblin they will be cursed."
"Goblins" Law said in disbelief.
"Yes. You should not anger them. They'll take your gold, play tricks on you and your family and can change your baby's sex with their magic." Law said nothing while taking in all the new information. Goblin, luck, curses… His trademark smirk was back on his face "Sound fun," Penguins face dropped "when will we arrive?"
~O~
"Oi! Girlie! Why don't you come and sit with us? You look so lonely there, and you are pretty enough to be seen with a pirate like me." One of the pirates that sat in the pub yelled with a laugh.
"No." her bored voice made the pirate spit out his booze.
"You should be careful with your next words, girlie. I'm the great Gen! The first mate of the Wolf pirates with a bounty of 30, 000,000 beri! So you better do as I say if you want to keep your head! Now come here and entertain me with that sweet looking body of yours" At that point the bartender burst into laughter. That was it! Nobody laughs at the great Gen!
Gen got up from his seat in the corner of the pub and walked over to the bar where the girl was still sitting with her back at him and the bartender was about to die of laughter. Just as he got to the bar and was about to punch the bastard-of-a-bartender in the face the girl spoke. "Touch him and I send you flying out of the bar through the wall." Her voice was like a whisper and had a threatening sound in it.
"Yeah, right." He said and reached out to grab the bartender.
In a split second the girl was standing on her hand on top of the bar and swung her leg at the pirate with a force that –as she said- sent him flying out of the bar through the wall. The she lowered herself back down to her seat and sipped her booze like nothing happened. A chorus of 'boss' and 'master, gen' was heard in the as the pirates run out to help him.
"You know Emer, you could go after him and collect his bounty." The bartender who had calmed himself said.
"I don't need the money. And I always end up giving the money I get from bounties to you and Lissbeth. And you should still have money left after the last time, that guy had a bounty of 50,000,000 beli."
"Yes, yes, I know and we are very grateful for what you have done to us. But Emer dear, you need something for yourself." Shan was worried about Emer. She was like a daughter he never had. She didn't have a job and God only knew have she still had money to pay taxes. Not to talk about how she could come here drinking every night!
"Oh, did I say that guy from last time had a bounty of 50,000,000 beli? I meant he had 60,000,000 but I only gave you 50,000,000 and took some for myself." Emer said with a small but mocking smile.
"You damn bi-"
"Ha ha! Damn girl! You got him good! Shan honey, what was it you were about to call her?" Lissbeth, Shan's wife who was a scary woman, said as she walked out from the back. That was if you weren't her favorite person in the world like Emer was.
"I-I was about to s-say-"
"Anyway Emer. You should take more money for yourself. You are the one who takes care of the pirates that cause trouble here so the money you get is yours not ours.
"But I don't need it." Lissbeth was just about to protest when the door opened and a group of men walked in. Emer saw the shock in Lissbeth's and Shan's eyes and turned around to see who it was. The man was impossible to miss, with his black and yellow shirt, spotted jeans and fluffy hat. Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death with a bounty of 110,000,000 beli. And is that a polar bear?
"Either he's weird and has a polar bear in his crew that walks on two legs and wears an orange jumpsuit or I should really stop drinking." She mumbled to herself but got an answer from Shan "It's the first one." She turned back to the bar and sipped some booze before saying "Let's just hope he's a good boy."
~O~
The pub was full and everyone was singing and dancing. Law took a good look around. No one seemed to notes him or they were just too drunk to care. But he still felt eyes on him. Just as he looked over to the bar the girl sitting there turned so he wasn't able to see her face. But the bartender and the other women still had their eyes on him. He walked over to a table at the back with his crew right behind him. The older woman walked over to them "What could I get you gentlemen?" she asked but her voice never cracked even if her eyes told him that she was scared.
"We'll just have some sake." He ordered with his normal smirk.
"Alright. Anything else?"
"We need a lot of sake!" one from his crew said
"Yeah! We are going to party tonight!" He recognizes Shachi's voice. What's with him and always partying?
"Two more things Miss." Law spoke up.
"It's Mrs. And shoot." She said with a smile. But she should be more careful when she says 'shoot' to a pirate.
"Alright Mrs. First, How long does it take for the logpose to set?"
"It takes about a half day."
"Good. And second, what's with the hole in wall?" he pointed at the wall not far from his seat.
"Oh, that? There were just some pirates causing trouble here earlier, so they were kicked out." Law was just about to say something when some local's started to yell.
"Let's sing and dance!"
"Yeah! Emer, come and sing and dance!" Everybody looked over to the girl at the bar and tried to get her to join them. The waitress had already left to get their orders.
The girl called Emer got up from her seat and walked over to the ones yelling. She was pretty short; Law would guess about 165cm and slim. She had short dark hair and her bun made a shadow over her eyes so he could not tell the color. Her dark green tank top went along with her body, showing her curves, which every man must be grateful for. Her black short shorts showed her good looking –dare he say it- perfect legs and her shoes looked pretty much the same as his own but more feminine and higher heals.
"Can't I even get a please?" she asked the men around the table.
"Please Emer, sing and dance with us!" they all begged and Law could swear he heard Penguin's and Shachi's voices too.
"What song are you planning to sing?" she asked like the song would decide if she would dance or not.
"Drunken Sailor, of course!" she smiled and it was enough of an answer to the men as the music started to play and everybody who knew the song sang along. People got up from their seats and danced along the music.
Everyone: What will we do with a drunken sailor?

As the song went on they started singing faster and faster. How they were able to sing and play so fast was beyond the Heart pirates.

Law watched Emer with interest as she sang and danced. The dancing style was something he had never seen before. Her shoes made a clicking noise that they didn't make when she walked and she barely moved her arms. But her feet moved faster than he had ever seen someone move them. But what he could not stop thinking about was what he saw when their eyes meet. Her eye color was gold. Not golden like Hawkeye Mihawk's eyes, but really gold. Never in his life had he seen something so beautiful as her eyes. When the waitress walked over with their orders Law snapped from him thoughts.
"Sorry, it took so long. I couldn't risk walking over here with so many drinks when they go crazy with their dancing."
"It's alright Mrs. I enjoyed to watch the dancing. May I ask you about that dancing style? I've never seen it before."
"We call it Irish dancing. But it's also called step dancing."
"How do they get that clicking sound?"
"It's the shoes. If you hit the shoe in the right way you get a sound. It's really hard. I've lived here my whole life, tried it many times and haven't got a single sound out of them." She laughed. "Do you want to try? We have some extra shoes here for those who want to try and win the master at this dance."
"No thank y-"
"We want to try!" Penguin and Shachi yelled. "Who's the master? We want to challenge him! It can't be that hard." Ooh boy… They are already drunk?!
"Alright, boy's! I'll get you shoes and inform her that a battle is about to start." The waitress walked away and left Penguin and Shachi gapping.
"Her…?" Penguin said. Law chuckled and looked after the waitress who had stopped and talked to Emer. She slowly looked over to them and gave a smirk.
"So she's the master…" Law said and looked over to Penguin and Shachi. "Good luck then."
It didn't take long for the waitress to come back with the shoes and gave them to Penguin and Shachi.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" the bartender stood up on the bar making everyone look at him "We have two brave men who has challenge Emer in Irish dancing. Please make room for them in the middle of the room. The rules are simple. The winner is the one who gets more and better sound. The loser, or in this case, losers will have to bare the shame. In other words, they will be stripped of their clothes and be bound to one of the trees in the park."
"Dude, we have to win…" Shachi whispered to Penguin
"Yeah, if we do we get to see a naked chick…" they both stood there and fantasized about Emer helpless and naked till they had blood running down their nose. Quickly the wiped it away and stepped forward.
"I'll give you the honor to start boys" Emer said with a chuckle. They both nodded and stomped their feet to the floor. Nothing. Helplessly they started to stomp harder. On their toes, heels, everything! But not a single sound.
"Should I show you how to do it?" Emer smirked at them and they both stopped.
Emer lifted one leg up a bit from the floor and stomped it down with a click. She moved her feet faster and faster and then stopped. "I won."
Just as everyone in the pub started to stalk closer to the two Heart pirates the door opened with a bang.
~O~
"You bitch!" the man at the door yelled and pointed at Emer.
"Who are you" she asked as bored as one can be.
"I'm the captain of the Wolf pirates with a bounty of 70,000,000 beli and you are the bitch who hurt my first mate!" Emer stared as the man yelled at her. So he was that asshole's captain…
"So?" she asked still bored as she put her hands in her pockets. The captain became red of anger. He took out his sword and ran towards her. She smirked.
Emer ducked his attack and the jumped up till she was able to kick him in the face, sending him flying out of the pub. She walked after him and heard someone following her. Just as she was wondering who it was she hear someone say "Captain!" so Trafalgar Law wanted to see her fight. Or did he think he could butt in?
Once outside the Captain of the Wolf pirates got up from the ground, blood running down his face.
"You'll pay for that!"
"We'll see." She said with a smirk as the pirate ran towards her again. "Lucky 7 shot!" as the words left her mouth her leg became gold and hit the pirate bringing him down. Emer put her hand on his face and smirked. Slowly the man became gold from top to bottom. Leaving nothing but a man shaped gold lump.
"Emer! You killed another one!" Lissbeth yelled.
"He started it." She said with a straight face and pointed down at the man-turned-into-gold.
"You know the deal! You kill someone and you go without booze on month!"
"NOO! You can't do that!" Yes, she was an alcoholic.
"I can and I will. Shan! Call all the other pub's in town and tell the Emer isn't allowed to drink for a month!"
"That's like throwing me into Darkfeild woods!"
"Do not talk so calmly about those woods when you are the one almost killed there!"
" Don't. You. Dare. Talk about that!"
"Why not?! You are the one that brought it up! And while we're at the topic, why don't we just go and say hi to slenderman?! I BET HE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"
"Lissbeth!" Shan yelled "What did you say?!"
Emer had frozen. Never had Lissbeth talked about that night or that man. She knew how scared Emer was of him. Slowly Emer took a step backwards till she fully turned and run.
"Emer!" Lissbeth yelled but Emer blocked it out. She didn't want to hear it. No matter what she had to say. She just ran.
~O~
The Heart pirates stood there awkwardly. Emer's and the waitress called Lissbeth's fight had ended with Emer running away, fear in her eyes.
"What did I do…" Lissbeth whispered. She walked back into the pub with a blank expression on her face. When the bartender, Shan, came over and asked why she did it, she couldn't answer. She just stared into nothing with tears in her eyes.
"W-who is Slenderman?" Shachi asked earing Penguins elbow into his gut.
"Slenderman is…" Shan began but didn't know how to continue.
"He's the monster living in Darkfield woods," everybody looked over to the man who spoke. He sat in the other end of the pub smoking "he is human. Mostly at least. His very tall and all six of his arms come all the way down to his knees. His nails are long and sharp. He is said to wear a suit, and the scariest part, is his face." He said nothing more leaving the Heart pirates curious.
"What's so scary about his face?" Law asked, really not in the mood of waiting.
"He doesn't have a face. He has a head but not a face or any hair."
"Emer is the only one to go into Darkfeild woods and come out." Shan continued "It happened when she was ten years old. She and her friends didn't believe there was anything there so they went there. Emer's friends told her to go in first and when she did; her friends closed the gate that kept Slenderman in and the towns people out, locked it and run away. She was left alone there in the middle of the night. With nothing else to do she walked deeper into the woods. When she came a bit deeper she could see something white on one of the trees. And as a curious child as she was she went to look. When she was close enough she saw it was a paper with text on it. As she took it off the tree she felt a change in the woods. It felt darker and colder. The paper said 'Don't look or it takes you'. She continued walking finding more notes some had text and some had drawn pictures. It was after she found the forth note that she saw Slenderman. He didn't move he just stood there. She started to feel pain in her head and had a hard time seeing anything, so she did the only thing she could do; run. Every time she looked back he was closer, but he never took a step. But then she came to a stop, aka the gate. She turned around finding Slenderman only a few meters away from her. Do to the pain she felt by looking at him she closed her eyes. But then she could feel long nails on her back and before she could react he dug he's nails into her back and clawed up her whole back." Shan stopped talking and started to find the floor very interesting.
"How did she survive?" Bepo asked. Everyone in the room looked at him.
"Did the bear just talk?" someone asked.
Bepo hung his head low and a black cloud of depression appeared at his head "I'm sorry…" everybody stared. They have seen many weird things but this…
"Bepo asked you how she survived, would you please answer." Law said, he really had enough waiting and this was interesting. He might ask Emer to join his crew. After all she was a good fighter and if she had survived out of the woods with bleeding back she must be very strong. She would be much use for the crew.
"With the help of the St. Patrick's curse." Lissbeth said after a long silence.
"And may I ask what exactly the St. Patrick's curse is?"
"Well, Emer has this mark on her wrist that everyone thinks is a tattoo. But she had it ever since she was born. And with that she can summon goblins and turn everything she touches and herself into gold."
"Goblins?!" Shachi screamed as he jumped into Penguin's arms.
"Very interesting…"
"Captain I know that look. What are you planning?" Bepo asked
"Mrs. Lissbeth. What would you say if I asked her to join my crew?" Law ignored Bepo as he asked. Lissbeth looked at him a little shocked and the like she was in deep thought.
"Well… She always said she wanted to see the world… And her father was a pirate so she doesn't hate them… It's up to her. But you have my blessing to take her with you, maybe if she gets of this island her nightmares will go away."
"But Lissb-"
"Shan. You know she would love to set sail. The last thing you should do is to try and stop her. And you do not have the right to even do so, after all she's the one giving money to you all the time."
"A-alright. I won't."
"Perfect. Now, where do you think I can find her?"
"At the harbor, she loves to sit down there and look at the ocean."
"Alright. Men, you can continue your little party while I'll go and talk to our soon-to-be crewmate." As Law walked out of the bar everyone started cheering and drinking again.
~O~
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we'll roam.
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage...
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green!
The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave...
Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!
Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
"You have a beautiful voice, and that song is a pirate song." Emer turned around to see no other then Trafalgar Law smirking just like on his wanted poster.
"It doesn't matter who was the first to sing it." She looked away hoping he didn't see her blush. "I just like the song."
"How do you even know about that song? Not many civilians know about it."
"My dad was a pirate, and we sing it together when he visits me."
"So he is still alive, but not a pirate anymore I suppose."
"Exactly." Emer loved her father but didn't talk about him much. After all, you can't go around screaming his name just for fun.
"Why?"
"He's captain died."
Awkward silence. That is the only way to describe the situation. What should she say now?!
"You know, I talked to Mrs. Lissbeth a while ago."
"Oh"
"I asked her if I can take you out to sea with us, join my crew."
"And what did she say?"
"As long as you want to go, she won't stop you."
"Are you asking me to join?"
"Yes, yes I am."
"Why?"
"Well. You are a good fighter I saw it earlier and your curse comes very handy when it comes to money."
"The St. Patrick's curse has nothing to do with money."
"Then what was that gold thing?" it was silent for a while.
"Okay so maybe it has a little bit to do with money." She admitted "But you really don't want me on your crew."
"Didn't I just say otherwise?"
"I'll just be a pain in the ass."
"How come?"
"The nightmares."
"What about them?"
"None of your business." Emer snapped. It was quiet for a while.
"We'll survive with your nightmares." Emer chuckled before she stood up and walked over to him.
"Remember, you're the one to blame later." Law smirked.
"Does that mean yes?"
"It's a yes." She held out her hand and when Law shook it she spoke again "My name is Emer. It's an honor to be in your crew, Captain."
~O~
Emer packed her clothes and threw the back over her shoulder. She looked around the room and sighed. She had lived alone for a long time but the house had been in her family for years. The morning sun shined through her bedroom window, making Emer able to see the dust on the floor. She didn't clean much but often enough to not make people think she was a pig. She left the room and walked towards the front door. She hesitated when she was about to open the door but then just smiled before she walked out. Law had told her to meet them at the sub in the morning so she headed for the harbor, but she first had to stop at the pub. As she walked in, the pub fell silent. That was until someone stood up and clapped. It didn't take long before everyone in the pub was cheering for her.
"Way to go Emer!"
"You finally did it!" everyone knew she wanted to see the world. She smiled brightly at them before she walked over to Shan and Lissbeth. After standing a while in silence in front of them she hugged them.
"Thank you for everything." She said after pulling away and bowed.
"We'll miss you here, Emer. Now go on! Make your dad proud!" Shan said as he pushed her towards the door. She smiled up at him.
"I will." She promised before she skipped out from the pub.
She quickly ran down the street towards the harbor. She was a really fast runner. But that should not be surprising since she has so powerful kicks. Not to talk about the dancing where she never used her hands. When she came to the harbor she was met by a big yellow submarine. Law, the polar bear and two other stood on the deck. Law smirked down at her before telling her to climb onboard.
"Welcome onboard Emer." The man with a hat that read Penguin said.
"It's a pleasure to be here."
"We'll be submerging soon. Don't take too long with your good byes to this island." Law said before he and the three others walked inside the sub. Emer looked over the town with a smile on her face. She turned her head to the right where she could see a part of the Darkfeild woods, but regretted it greatly. She could barely make out a very tall man in a black suit and hands down past his knees. Her head started to hurt so she looked away before slowly turning to look back. He was gone, maybe he wasn't really there and she just hallucinated.
"Emer." A voice said behind her "It's time to go." He said with a smile. She smiled back and walked inside the sub. The man closed the heavy door.
"What's your name?" Emer asked.
"Oh yeah, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Shachi, I'm the head mechanic of the Heat pirates."
"Nice to meet you, Shachi." They walked down the hall and entered what seemed to be the mess hall. Everyone greeted her and that's when she noticed that she was the only woman on the ship. After meeting the crew the polar bear, she learned was called Bepo and that he talked, took her to her room. She was lucky they gave her an own room. She didn't not was to sleep with the men, God knows what they'll do to her when she sleeps. The room was simple. A bed, closet, desk and chair were the only things inside. Not that Emer minded at all, she was just happy to have an own room. After she was done checking out her new room Bepo told her Law wanted to talk to her in his office. He showed her the way and left. Emer carefully knocked on the door and opened it after hearing Law tell her to come in. she closed the door behind her and looked round. The office was clean, spotless to be more specific. Law sat at the desk in the far end of the big room. Big bookshelf's filled with books stood against the walls.
"I need to ask you some questions, so please sit down." He gestured towards the chair near him. Emer calmly walked over and sat down, waiting for him to start.
"Name."
"Emer."
"Whole name." Emer sighed.
"Silvers Emer." Law looked at her with wide eyes.
"Excuse me?"
"Silvers. S-I-L-V-E-R-S."
"May I ask you what your father's name is?"
"Silvers Rayleigh." It was quiet for a few minutes before Law spoke again.
"Are you telling me your father is 'Dark King' Silvers Rayleigh?"
"I actually thought you were smarter than the other pirates."
"I am. Well, moving on… Birthday?"
"24th April."
"Any allergies."
"No."
"Injuries that might cause trouble?" Emer was quiet a few seconds before answering.
"My back."
"Let me see it."
"No."
"Emer, I'm the doctor on the ship. Not only that, but I'm also your captain so you will do as I say. Is that clear?"
"Aye, aye captain." ¨she turned around and took off her shirt showing Law her back.
Big scars ran across her back. Even looking at them would make you feel pain in your own back. Law ran his hand across the scars and hummed.
"I can't believe you survived…" he mumbled.
"Either can I…"
~O~
It was cold and dark all around her. The trees surrounded her and she had nowhere to run. A clod breeze blew past her, making goose bumps creep up on her skin. Her heavy breathing and fast beating heart echoed around her. She could feel someone watching her. Every move she made, every breath she took, he could see it all. The wind made a whistling sound as it passed by and made the grass dance around her feet. A thick fog flew around the threes making them look magical. She kept turning around and around, making sure he wasn't near. A sound behind her made her stop. Carefully and slowly she turned around. A tall man wearing a suit and had six arms reaching past his knees stood near the trees. Her head hurt when she looked at the faceless man. She fell down on the ground while holding her hurting head and looked down, not wanting to see the faceless man again. Her breathing stopped as long sharp nails ran across her back over and over again without cutting the skin. The nails stopped running along her back and were healed against her upper back. Slowly, agonizing slowly they ripped through the skin and into the flesh, cutting up her back. She screamed so hard that her own ears hurt. She begged him to stop, for someone to help her.
~O~
"Emer! Emer, wake up!" Law yelled as he shook her. Her screaming made his ears hurt and the whole crew was awake by now. Penguin, Shachi and Bepo stood at the door and held their hands over their ears.
"Please stop! It hurts! Help me!" Emer screamed in her sleep. Law shook her more violently successfully waking her. She struggled in his grip as she tried to get away from the person holding her.
"Emer, you need to calm down." She suddenly stopped moving and looked around her.
"L-Law…?" she looked really confused and scared, her breathing was coming in short and Law could feel her pulse was uneven. There was something wrong with her, something that scared her. Was it Slenderman? Was it the St. Patrick curse? Or perhaps it had something to do with her family. Law didn't know what it was, but he was going to find out sooner or later.
