Hey it's my other fanfic. It's just spontaneous idea I don't know where it comes from Hm, well it's One Piece world so please remember that everything is possible :P The action is set somwhere in the Grand Line after the events on Punk Hazard and Dressrossa. I don't own OP only OC is mine. I hope you'll enjoy :)

„How could this happen?" she asked herself sitting handcuffed in some dirty, humid cell. She didn't know how this actually happened. She woke up being there. She didn't remember any fight or chase. She couldn't remember who captured her. Obviously, for the latest 3 years she has been wanted with quite high bounty on her head. Pirate hunters, Marines or even pirates wanted her death. Nothing suprising, she was killer and former hunter by herself. Moreover for those 3 years she had been part of Straw Hats and she was one of the most scary ones, among Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. She had never stood behind them, she'd fought in the front line. Civils even reckon her as the real legendary monster, because of her father. He was friend of The Pirate King. And any connection to Roger's crew was a highest crime. Usually she didn't have any problems with escaping marine's bases, she got used to ending up in cells in her childhood. But this time she felt exceptional tired. Her body wasn't sore but she had some bruises on it. Especially under her ribs, but she could remember nothing. She started to look around.

"Where are the rest of the crew? I hope they are ok…" she hoped. There were quiet, it seemed she was alone. "Maybe I could broke this handcuffs with my Haki…" she tried to concentrate and activate her power but nothing happened. She tried again, still nothing. "I suppose I'm too tired… Did they inject me something or what" She wasn't Devil fruit user so even if chains were made of karioseki it wouldn't affect her in any way. She heard some footsteps. The door opened and some man walked in. He was wearing something what reminded suit but it was too tacky. "He doesn't look like a fighter" she noticed but stayed quiet. He got closer to her cell. She couldn't remember if she had seen his face on wanted poster either. She never forgot.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Something interesting uhuhu" he laughed awkwardly "Nightmare I see, but for the purposes of auction we'll call you by your real name. The surname of your father is more catchy if we want to reach higher price." He wondered out loud.

Her eyes widened a bit but she didn't show her surprise. "Oi, who are you and what do you mean by "auction"?" she said as usual, calmly. She wasn't a kind of person who panicked too quick. She needed to get to know her situation better before she would freak out. It wouldn't be pleasant for anyone.

"You are our cherry on top of the cake, sweetheart."

"Don't call me "sweetheart" she hissed "or else I'll show your own heart when I'll pull it out your chest" she threatened. It was natural for her. She slowly closed her eyes and smirked. She could imagine that.

"Anyway, we bought you from your Captain for quite good price" Her eyes shot open " and we want to earn some money so I think we should propose about 600 million Beri in the beginning. You don't even know how rich and powerful people would like to have you in their collections." He grinned very widely.

Her expression turned back to her normal, bored one. "I don't believe you" she declared "Luffy would never do something like that." She smiled with arrogance."He doesn't even know how valuable money is. It doesn't interest him. If you said that Nami sold me I would be more willing to believe." Her smile widened "What's more Luffy perceives his friends as priceless, his family. He wouldn't betray anyone of us" At that moment the door opened and second person came in.

"You've got very high self-esteem Nightmare or else Shadow Patt." This time it was a man wearing marine uniform. Patt narrowed her eyes" I'm sure that you know what's going on Shadow. Since now you are considered to be a slave"

"Hehe" she laughed dryly "Are you both really so stupid to think that I will believe in that?" she smirked and unhesitatingly looked at them. "He saved my life a few times, stood by my side as my Captain. I did the same towards him. Even if in the past I was horrible person which Luffy wouldn't like at all, thanks to him I've changed."

"So how would you explain that you are here alone? Where is your beloved crew Shadow? They sold you"

"If they really wanted to get rid of me they would sell me to marines. They would execute me and Straw Hats could forget about me so why slavery? How would you explain this?" she asked with still present smirk.

"Well selling you here was more profitable. You are worth 340 million beri for marines now. But here, in underworld they got about 400 million. " elegantly dressed man interjected.

"There is another reason too." The marine smiled evilly. "You are a woman but your ego is at least as high as men's ones. Being a slave for you is unbearable. Even dying during execution would be less humiliating than this. So how is it to be slave, Shadow?"

"For you Nightmare fucker! And who are you? Marine who approves slavery!? And they say that pirates are the ones who are the worst sort of criminals!" she spat. But he was right. She couldn't stand this. Humiliation. This word didn't describe the way she felt then. When Straw hats and she were at sabaody archipelago, during auction where Camie was to be sold, she couldn't stand that. She wanted to kill all of those viewers, traders and anyone who approved that. Thankfully Luffy had finished that before she freaked out. But now? She was a slave. No, no it couldn't happen in reality. It must have been one of those nightmares she dreamt of every night.

"So how is it to be slave, Shadow" he purposely repeated. "How you feel? Who knows maybe you would find some master who actually would want you. Even if your own "nakama" wouldn't." he finished and she said nothing. He smiled and left the room. She stayed with well-dressed guy.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll find" she lifted her head slightly glaring furiously at the man. He seemed to be unfazed. "There already are some celestial Dragons who asked about you. As I said you are our cherry." He exclaimed" But we have to do something with you, look at yourself. You need to be cleaned and groomed" he talked about her as if she were some pet for sell. In some way she was." If we want some Celestial to buy you, you need to be perfect!" then he looked at his watch "Oh My, we don't have enough time. Ok sweetheart, someone will come here in some minutes to take care of you and you'll do anything they want you, I have to go because the auction is beginning in 3 minutes, But don't worry you are our star remember" he blew her kiss and walked out the room.

She scowled at that gesture. "Gross!" she whispered. She still couldn't believe that The Sraw hats Had betrayed her. It's true that she wasn't kind or sociable person at the beginning of their common adventure but she had changed. Thanks to Luffy and any other member of crew. She really started to like them all. She treated them as family she had never had. Luffy was the person who wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose, friend or foe, it just wasn't laying on his nature. She had to escape.

The door opened again and two young women came in. They likely were slaves as well. But it didn't mattered. Patt had never been delicate girl. If she had to fight to survive she did so. It didn't matter if her opponent was man or woman, if he or she could fight. That world is cruel and she experienced that not once.

One of women, older one, opened her cell using a key. Both was carrying bowls with water, brushes and other stuff to make her more "perfect". "It's my chance, they are weak" She thought. They left cell's door opened "How irresponsible…"

"We have to clean you up. Stand up please" the older one said without any emotion. Patt did as she said but then kneeled her in gut. Not too hard, just to knock her out. The younger one started to run, but Patt couldn't let her go. She could go for someone stronger and now Patt wasn't in condition to fight. She easily caught the girl and hit her on the back of a neck. She lost her consciousness." Mission accomplished, Next level" Patt smirked to herself. Unfortunately she still had handcuffs and collar on her neck. If the auction had already begun she didn't have much time, from 15 to 25 minutes likely.

Her plan was easy. Get out of this room, meet no one on her way, escape building and increase the distance between her and traders who had detonators to her collar. She couldn't take it off without her haki. If they found out that she escaped certainly they would chase her. They may make her collar explode, which could be troublesome for someone in her situation.

She walked closer to door to listen if someone was on the other side. She heard nothing so opened the door. She saw long, dark corridor. She sneaked out quietly and trotted ahead. She didn't know where the exit was. He heard the voice of well-dressed man. He must have been the leader of auction, she scowled at that thought. The assembly hall where all viewers and traders were must have been near. She hoped she wouldn't mistake the door. But if the main hall was close that meant that the main exit was in near. It would be pure madness if she used that one but she was part of Straw Hats, normal thing. Moreover she hadn't met any guards as far which was odd." Maybe this auction is smaller than on sabody." She wondered "Anyway I wonder which island I am on"

"Hey you, stop!" someone shouted.

She froze. "Crap" she hissed through her teeth and without turning back she started to run. "I hate running away…"

"Oi, stop!" another voice. "Great, I'm outnumbered." she sighed still running. She suddenly turned right and some of chasers bumped into wall. "Hm, I will gain some time" she then turned left. It was like maze. " Damn, now I know how Zoro feels… where is the exit door?! My intuition has never let me down…" she heard sound of shooting "They are trying to shoot me?! Come one where is the door…" And then she felt a movement of air. It was corridor which didn't have any window which meant that somewhere there had to be opened door leading to the outside. She closed her eyes as she did while her training. She focused on the track the air left and she followed. After a while she was outside "I knew you won't let me down myself" she exclaimed.

But there were much more marines and guards than in the inside of building. It was a trap. Someone must have informed the Marine from the earlier because he stood in front of her with wide grin on his face.

"Well Shadow, you are suprising as always. But you know, it was useless. You are the most dangerous one here and you thought that we will let you escape you like that?"

"The most dangerous, heh, I'll take it as compliment" she smirked

"Say what you want but your pirate career is over. Now you ARE a slave" he reminded

She winced. It was on purpose but she couldn't help. All of them jumped on her attacking. She still couldn't use her hands, thankfully they didn't chained her legs. She wanted to avoid any fight so she jumped as high as she could, and using heads and shoulders of her opponents, she started run again. She knocked out some of them by the way. Then she jumped down on the ground. She couldn't recognize the town which she was in. Probably it was her first visit there. She ran and they chased her. It lasted couple of minutes and she was getting tired even more.

Suddenly she felt something, as if instinct told her to stop. She did so in time. She ended up on the cliff, quite high cliff. There was no way to escape. The only one way was down. She could jump. It wouldn't be her first time in such situation but down there wasn't water of ocean. There were plenty of sharp rocks. If she jumped she would meet her own death.

"Adorable, Shadow" she heard the snicker of Marine "There it's still some fight in you. But you are alone. Stop running, there's no way out. You'll die if you jump. If you start fight us again I'll have to use this " he took out his pocket a small device- detonator" and you'll die as well. Do you really want to die so badly?" he asked innocently.

She was quiet. She knew her situation was hopeless. There was no one who could help her and if that what they said was the truth, she had no one who she could live for. "You're right." She started and he smiled "Dying is much more bearable than slavery" after that she closed her eyes and leaned back. The Marine paled and she started to fall.

I hope you like it :P Please review :P
