Hi guys! So if anyone from my other story is reading this, this story is only something I'm writing in between my writer's blocks, so my main story will still be going. For everyone that has no idea what the crap I'm saying, then I will just say that this story will be very irregular and random. So expect short chapters at one point then super long ones at another.
Anyway! I don't own One Piece, I just own my OC.
Dammit! I thought and dove behind a trashcan. I really did it this time.
"Catch her! Nobody get's away with humiliatin' me in public!" A rather loud obnoxious voice yelled out.
"Yes boss!" Several men replied and ran right past me.
I looked at their fleeting figures and got up with a smirk plastered on my face.
"Don't think you managed to escape me." A voice said from behind me.
I turned around slowly and saw the behemoth of a man cracking his knuckles with a bloodthirsty look.
"Shit...I already apologized, ass! Just accept it will ya!" I yelled as I tried to ignore his intimidating aura.
He grabbed me by the neck and slammed me into the wall causing it to crack, "Nobody, especially a little girl, gets away with humiliatin' me!" He shouted as his hand tightened around my neck.
"W-Why d-don't...you...let m-me go...before...s-someone spots you...doing this...?" I asked in a strained voice.
"HAHAHAHA! I could beat them up into a bloody pulp before they even had a chance to look at me!" The man shouted cockliy.
Then, at that moment a foot collided with the behemoth's face and he was sent flying. I fell to the ground and panted as I tried to get some air into my body.
That man had one hell of a grip... I mused to myself.
I looked up and a man was offering me his hand. I gladly took it and grunted softly as I stood up.
"Ahm, thanks for getting him off me there, dude." I said with an embarrassed look.
His once blue eyes turned into hearts, "It's my pleasure, mademoiselle! My name is Sanji, what is yours?!" He said happily and hearts floated around him.
I blinked at him, "Mayura." I said already mildly confused by the man's interesting attitude.
Before he could respond, a fist hit his head, "Sanji-kun! Stop harassing people!" A woman with orange hair yelled as a vein pulsed and her smile twitched.
"Sorry, Nami-san!" He said and quickly apologized to the angry orangette.
"I apologize if this idiot happened to annoy you." The woman said kindly with a forced smile.
"Not a problem..." I mumbled stunned by the woman's personality change.
She dragged the man off and I could only watch them leave through the crowded streets.
Why did they look so familiar...? I shook the thought away and began walking back to the bar I worked at.
I brushed myself off and made myself look like I hadn't been just attacked by the ugly bastard. My dark brown hair had ended up a tangled mess from the ordeal and I could already feel a headache forming from the idea of trying to brush it out.
I finally reached the bar after probably 15 minutes of walking and everyone stared at my disheveled appearance.
"Mayura-chan...what happened?" A woman behind the bar asked me.
"Some behemoth attempted to kill me, no big deal." I said casually.
"Again?!" The woman yelled and hit the counter in anger.
"Yep. Only this time I was saved by some dude with curly eyebrows." I said and stared at the woman.
"Curly...eyebrows?" She repeated with a thoughtful look.
"I'm not sure, but for some reason I recognize them... Do you know anything, Keira?" I asked the woman.
Keira shook her head, "Nope, but who knows...with all these pirate groups forming and all."
"You may have a point there, but I have a feeling something is different about them." I said with narrowed eyes.
Suddenly a man slammed the bar doors open and looked at me, "Mayura-san! You might want to see what's going on at the Execution Platform!"
"What, are they beheading another idiot?" I asked.
"Not...exactly..." He said.
"Then spit it out!" I said and slammed my fist against the wall.
"Alright! Alright, apparently an upcoming pirate is on the platform and the whole area is swamped with marines and other pirates!" The man shouted upon seeing my irate face.
A grin spread across my face, "Keira, get me my bow, this is gonna be fun." I said in an excited tone.
She handed me my bow and a glove, "Please don't get into trouble again, Mayura-chan." Keira said.
"No promises." I winked at her causing her to sigh.
"You are definitely your mother's daughter." She said while shaking her head.
I ran out the door and towards the Execution Platform with full intentions of causing trouble.
"Can you believe someone is up there?"
"He must be stupid to head up there..."
"Stupid or brave."
"Definitely stupid."
The growing crowd gawked at the boy who was standing on the execution stand, where the infamous Pirate King was executed. Marines were everywhere, but two figures stood out from the crowd, a man with white hair who was smoking two cigars and a woman with blue hair, glasses and a sword.
However, it wasn't just the marines that were flooding the area, pirates were also there. The most notable had to be a man who resembled a clown and was currently trying to decapitate the person on the platform.
Amidst the confusion, a girl with long dark brown hair and gold eyes, snuck by the marine guards. She was grinning like an idiot and a black bow was firmly clasped in her hand. She had the eyes of a prankster, a legendary one at that.
I smirked as the events played out around me. Maybe I should stop that mental clown, before he chops off that idiot's head... I mused to myself.
The tips of my fingers suddenly glowed blue as the fire formed on every single finger. I lifted my bow and it instantly exploded into a blue rage as the flames licked off of it. I aimed at the clown and with a massive grin, I released the blaze known as my arrow, at the mental clown. It hit him and an explosion shook the air as everyone stared at me.
"Oi! Smokestack! I hope you don't mind me crashing the party!" I shouted.
"I thought I told you to stop sticking your nose into things..." He grumbled.
"Tch. If you thought that that would've worked, then your brain in the size of a pea!" I remarked causing the man to growl.
"I'm giving you one last warning." He said sternly.
"Nice try Smokestack, but I ain't afraid of you anymore! After all, why would a pyromaniac be afraid of someone like you?" I said and fire shot out from my body and formed several copies of myself as they each had the toothy grin I possessed.
"You wouldn't dare." He said upon noticing my copies.
"I'm done listening to you, Smokestack! Attack!" I shouted and all my copies exploded into pillars of blue flames.
I grinned and suddenly the pillars disappeared, only to reappear in four different corners and reformed into look-alikes again.
All the copies shot ice blue fire onto the crowds and everyone was shocked to find that the fire was freezing.
"What the hell?! Why is it cold?!" Several people shouted.
"That's her devil fruit ability! Fire so cold, it burns." Smoker said lowly.
"Don't forget the bow, Smokestack!" I reminded with a massive grin.
"Also known as as the frozen pyromaniac, Mayura." Smoker finished.
"Yup! Best of both worlds, I freeze and burn!" I said with a loud laugh.
-Pov Change-
"I heard about her from the locals, apparently she is a well-known troublemaker." Nami said in shock.
"She is no mere troublemaker, she has caused so much trouble for the marines, Captain Smoker has almost put a bounty on her five times. The only reason she doesn't have one is because she's his niece." A civilian explained.
"His niece?!" She said in shock.
"Yes. Mayura-chan doesn't exactly like the marines and she has expressed her dislike in the form of pranks." The civilian replied.
"They don't look anything alike." Zoro said.
"Mayura-chan has her father's looks while she has her mother's personality. With both of her parents dead, there's almost no way of telling who they were. She doesn't even have a last name." The civilian said and everybody nodded at her words.
"Why is she doing all this?" Nami asked.
"She wants out." The civilian said.
"Wants out of what?" The pirates asked startled by the woman's words.
"Out of his hold. She's not allowed to do anything and thus she is left to do the last thing anybody would ever think of. Getting in his way when he's trying to capture a pirate." She stated in a low tone.
"Is she asking for trouble?!" Nami shouted.
"Pretty much. She plans to escape after she freezes everybody." The woman said with a small laugh. "Don't be too surprised if you have a stowaway."
Before they could respond, a high-pitched whistle sounded through the area.
Mayura had shot thousands of arrows into the air, each was made out of fire and they were falling towards the ground.
"Everybody, move!" Smoker yelled.
It was too late though and the arrows hit the ground and the entire area was covered in ice as small fires were on the ice. The ice began to attach onto everyone and soon enough, everyone's limbs were frozen to the ground.
"Works every time! HAHAHA!" Mayura laughed.
She skated away on the ice and the areas not covered in ice, froze under her feet and her hair erupted in a blue blaze of icy fire.
"What just happened?" Nami asked herself.
"She just froze all the marines." Sanji said in shock as his cigarette fell out of his mouth.
"Damn…" Zoro muttered.
Smoker growled, "That's the last straw, brat!" He tried to free himself, but to his shock, a seastone tipped arrow was in his arm.
"Why is he stuck there?" Nami asked.
"Mayura-chan's arrows are all tipped with seastone, which renders devil fruit users useless, or as if they were in the water. Even though he can turn into smoke, Mayura-chan managed to hit him before his reflexes could even kick in." The civilian said and praised the girl's talent.
"T-That's amazing. Were you serious when you said she may stowaway on our ship?" Nami said in awe before remembering what the woman said earlier.
"Completely! So you might wanna hurry, that and the ice will go away soon." The woman said happily.
"Dammit! We need to catch up to her!" Nami yelled.
The entire pirate crew nodded and ran after her.
Mayura grinned happily and climbed up the ship, she saw a long-nosed boy on the deck looking around in boredom.
She secured her bow on her back and pulled out a small needle. She narrowed her eyes and threw the needle and it hit the boy in the neck and almost instantly he fell over unconscious.
She leapt over the railing and made a mad dash to a room that she quickly identified as a storage room. She found a secure hiding spot and crouched down as that mischievous smile never left her face.
She heard footsteps and she concluded it was the pirates that her uncle was hunting.
"What the heck happened to Usopp?!" Luffy shouted.
"Maybe that needle has something to do with it." Nami said and pulled the needle out.
Usopp woke up soon afterwards and went into a panic saying that someone was on the ship.
"Guys! Look everywhere! She's on here somewhere." Nami shouted.
The crew looked everywhere and Mayura nearly panicked when Sanji found her under her box.
"DON'T HURT- wait...Do I know you?!" Mayura shouted and held a dagger in front of her, before she lowered it slowly.
"I don't think so…" Sanji said, too stunned from the woman's beauty.
"No! I know that curly eyebrow from somewhere! Wait… Are you the man who saved my life in that alleyway?" She shouted before her eyes widened and she grabbed his shoulders and looked at his eyebrow even closer.
"You are him! I'm sorry! I didn't know this was your ship!" She exclaimed and apologized several times while bowing.
Sanji on the other hand was trying very hard not to faint.
"Ehhh? Sanji! Did you find her?!" Luffy shouted and burst through the door.
"Y-Yes captain." Sanji managed to mutter out.
"Are you the captain?! I'm sorry! This is not how I should act to someone who saved my life! Please don't let Smokestack know that I'm here! I'll do anything!" She shouted and her head was touching the floor.
Everyone sweatdropped at the girl's behavior. She must really hate Smoker.
Luffy grinned, "Alright! Join my crew!"
She blinked and stared at him, while everyone's jaws were on the floor.
"Wait, why?" She asked.
"Well, you're strong and were able to beat Smokey up with only an arrow!" Luffy said as stars appeared in his eyes.
"That's only because I'm his niece, I know him better than anyone else." Mayura admitted reluctantly.
"That means you can beat him up whenever we see him!" Luffy shouted.
She sweatdropped, "That's not how it works-."
"Alright, you're in!" Luffy said cutting her off.
"Wait, what?! I never agreed to join you!" She yelled as a tick mark appeared above her head.
"You want to get away from Smokey, right?" Luffy asked.
Mayura slumped, "Well… yes. I don't wanna become a marine. Their so called 'justice' is screwed up." She frowned.
"Then you can join us! Marines don't like pirates and pirates don't like marines!" Luffy said.
"...You have a point. Since curly-brow saved me from an attempted assassination, I'm in debt to you. That and I don't wanna see Smokestack anytime, he's beyond pissed." Mayura said and she laughed nervously at the thought of Smoker finding her.
"Soooo?" Luffy asked and Mayura laughed at his expectant face.
"Yes, I'll join you. I'll probably be needed more here than I would be there." Mayura said a smile plastered on her face.
"YOSH! Wait, what devil fruit do you use?!" Luffy shouted.
"I never figured that part out, I accidentally ate the dumb thing when I was five. Nobody even knows the name of it." Mayura shrugged.
"Is it ice?! Or is it fire?!" Luffy said and got very close to Mayura.
She scooted back, "It's both, fire so cold, it burns. It burns if I want it to, but most of the time I just have ice everywhere." She said.
"COOOOOL!" Luffy said with stars glittering around him.
"So that's how you skated out of the town?" Nami asked although she was still suspicious of the woman.
"Yep! Every Thursday I turn the town into a giant ice rink." Mayura laughed. "It's fun to watch the marines slip everywhere while hunting me down."
"I thought you said you didn't have a bounty-" Nami said but Mayura interrupted her.
"I didn't, Smokestack just sent them after me! Because on Wednesday, I would pull a massive prank!" Mayura proclaimed and everyone sweatdropped.
"That civilian wasn't kidding…" Zoro muttered.
"So...ya might wanna get out of here. There's a nasty storm coming in and all the ships were supposed to be out of here already. That and Smokestack is gonna chase after us." Mayura said with a serious look.
"Seriously?" Nami said in exasperation, "Well you heard her, get the ship ready, we need to get out of here." Nami said and pointed to the door.
Everybody ran out the door and Mayura reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a large pouch, "I stole this from the marines the other day, assuming you are a woman who loves money." She said and briskly tossed the bag.
Nami caught it and looked inside the pouch before her eyes turned into beri signs. Mayura laughed into her hand, "Sorry if it's not that much, somebody found me 10 minutes after I broke in."
Mayura got up and left the room and looked around at the clamor surrounding her. She looked on in awe as the town grew smaller as they got farther away. Suddenly she saw her uncle speeding towards her in his devil fruit form.
"Awww crap." Mayura said and drew her bow. Fire flowed out of her body and morphed into thousands of arrows. She armed two seastone arrows and carefully aimed towards the incoming marine.
"What are you aiming at?!" Luffy asked.
"Smokestack, see him?" Mayura replied as her eyes never left her target.
"Oh..What's he doing?!" Luffy said before trying to figure out what the marine was up to.
"He probably thinks that you guys have kidnapped me or something." Mayura said and rolled her eyes.
"Why would he think that?" Usopp asked.
"He hates pirates." Mayura deadpanned.
Mayura released the two arrows and the fiery ones launched as well. Upon hitting the water, huge towers of ice formed and fire danced across the surface of the ice. The two sea stone arrows hit Smoker in the shoulder but phased through him.
Mayura pointed at him and suddenly a massive dragon made out of her fire, flew towards him. She quickly rearmed her bow with two more arrows and as if time slowed down, shot them and both hit Smoker in the knee. Smoker fell to the ground and the dragon shattered into thousands of ice crystals.
"That was AWESOME!" Luffy yelled.
"That dragon was fire, but shattered like ice…" Nami mumbled in shock.
"That's because I can freeze my fire at any time." Mayura said after securing her bow. "He'll be out for a while which will give us a good head start."
Mayura walked to the middle of the ship swaying her hips, she glanced at them, "I'm guessing you didn't expect someone to use a bow in this day and age. Especially you, Sharpshooter." Mayura said with a glint in her golden eyes.
Usopp looked at her in confusion, she smirked, "Didn't expect me to figure it out, did you? Most people use guns or cannons to fight, seeing proper use of a bow is once in a blue moon."
Her chocolate brown hair blew around her face as she smiled even wider, "Don't underestimate me because of my weapon choice, if you do…" A look-alike formed out of fire and an arrow also out of fire, hit the copy in the stomach and it fell to the ground before disappearing. "You'll end up like that." She said calmly but her eyes were fierce.
She sauntered off towards the front of the ship, causing Luffy to scurry after her.
"Why do you hate the marines?" He asked her.
She frowned, "My father was a pirate, and the marines killed him in front of my very own eyes. My mother was a former marine who left we she had me, their relationship was always a love hate one, but she always stood up for my father. That's also how my mother died. She was killed trying to stop the attack on his ship, even in death, she was smiling." Mayura said.
She didn't look sad saying any of that, which is what alarmed Luffy.
"It's been 15 years since it happened and I was only four. They didn't show justice that day, they killed my father out of hate. My mother merely got in the way and nobody did nothing!" She shouted venomously. Her fist connected with the railing and her eyes glowed hatefully.
In her anger, the area she was standing on, froze and her hair caught on fire.
She placed her head in her hands and sighed deeply and the fire and ice retreated back into her body. She looked back up and stared at the sky silently, her breathing now normal, she fell to the ground like a ragdoll.
"That's why I hate the marines, Smokestack is the only one that I still respect and that's because he took me in after my parents were killed." Mayura said quietly.
Luffy was oddly silent as the woman looked at her hands, "If they had tried to get my mother away, she would've been alive today. I was never close to my father and I wasn't that sad when he was killed, but I loved my mother. I wept over her bleeding body for hours." She mumbled.
Luffy's eyes darkened, but he still didn't say anything. He had decided the woman needed some time alone and he walked away to go bother Sanji.
Mayura looked at his fleeting figure in gratitude, a lot had happened and she needed some time alone after telling him why she hated marines so much. She didn't even understand why she told the boy everything...it just spilled out.
After a hour, she stood up and walked up to Luffy, who was fooling around.
"You're going to the Grand Line, correct?" Mayura asked.
"Yep! If I'm gonna be the Pirate King, I'm gonna have to go to the Grand Line!" Luffy said cheerfully.
"So my uncle wasn't lying when he said you wanted to be the Pirate King." Mayura laughed lightly.
"Well, I have to make more seastone arrows. Glad I stole the town's supply." Mayura said with a playful grin.
Luffy laughed at her words and she left to go find a more quiet spot to make her arrows.
