Episode 2: Fighting the Whitebeard Pirates!

Last time...

"Who picked a fight with my family?" among the men behind the huge man, was a familiar looking orange cowboy hat.

'Wait a minute...Ace?'

Now-

Luffy wasn't sure what to feel at this very moment. On one hand, the very prescence of that man who had just yelled out at her was annoying her again, but on the other hand, Ace was there, and he had said that they'd meet again, but she doubted he meant it to be under such cercimstances. She gulped as she hoped she wouldn't have to fight these men. She had just gotten done with a grueling battle, and she wasn't sure she could fight again and survive. She had honestly been lucky that she was even still concious, unlike the other two on the ground with her.

She was praying he'd just take his friends and leave, but then again she doubted she had that type of luck. The man jumped down from the deck, followed by four others, including the man wearing the bright orange cowboy hat.

Upon closer inspection, Luffy varified that the man was indeed Ace. Glad to know that there was at least one familiar face among a bunch of potential enemies, but Luffy wasn't sure if she could count him as a friend in this situation.

She stayed silent as she watched the man carefully from her position, kneeling on the ground as adrenaline began to pump through her veins again. She tightened her grip on her twins pistols, preparred to fire them should the need call, though her body was screamming in protest over any and all further movement.

One of the four men that had followed the large man down to ground level walked up slightly, admiring the battlefield and collateral damage from the fight prior to their appearance. Luffy tilted her head in curiousity, the man's head was a perfect replication of a pineapple. Luffy stood, albeit shakily, as the man gave an impressed whistle.

"Wow! Somebody was determined to not lose. Amazing that your still concious after taking on both Jimbei and Whitey Bay." He got closer, only to have move his head slightly as Luffy fired a warning shot at his head, again not aiming to kill, just warning him to not come closer.

"Woah! Okay, we're not here to fight you-"

"That's what they said! Then Miss Priss over there started something she couldn't finish." She motioned over to the two unconcious pirates. Several members came down and picked the two up, carrying them onto the giant ship, for medical treatment.

"Ah, sorry about that. Whitey Bay sometimes says more then she should, and it gets her into trouble a lot of the time. But you're the first person to beat her, besides us, who beat her. And she had help too! Pretty good." Suddenly some guy behind Mr. Pineapple Head, as Luffy had taken to calling the man since he hadn't told him her name, spoke up.

"Hey Marco. Isn't that the 300 million beri rookie, one of the Supernovas? What's her name...'Straw Hat' Luffy! Dang she really is strong!" the man said, looking rather impressed with her as well. Luffy still looked like she was ready to shoot something, or collapse, depended on whether the adrenaline gave out or not.

"Also known as 'The Devil's Raven'." a huge man in armor added on. Mr. Pineapple Head, appearently Marco, nodded his head as he gave another impressed whistle.

"Hey Ace, weren't you telling us about her before, six or seven months ago?" Ace nodded as he got closer to get a better look at her injuries. She cocked her gun at him, though she didn't fire, when he was as close as Marco.

"Whoa there! Luffy I'm not gonna hurt you, I just want to see your injuries. Ok?" She didn't lower the gun, and instead put the other one up at the same level. She didn't know what the others would do, and she wasn't inclined to trust Ace right now. She knew he might not hurt her, but could he say the same for the others. She wouldn't lower them, at risk of getting herself killed by vengeful pirates.

"No closer. Come any closer, and I'll poke you both full of so many holes you'll make swiss cheese jealous." She stated simply. Marco placed his hand on Ace's shoulder, stopping any arguements from the man.

They both stepped back, beginning to return the huge man, who had been watching the whole exchange silently, side. He seemed to be observing her, like a hawk, and she did't like it too much. In fact, it was pissing her off. If she was supposed to be scared of the man, she wasn't right now. She growled, trying to keep from starting something that she couldn't finish. And just waited, guns still cocked and ready to fire should the need arise.

With Whitebeard and his four commanders-

Ace turned his gaze back to the severly injured 15 year old, who was starting to sway, dangerously to passing out. Whitey Bay and Jimbei would be fine, compared to her injuries theirs were just mere scratches from tripping after running about carelessly. Luffy looked like she had been fed into a meat-grinder 15 times before someone finally had the decency and mercy to stop. And not all of those injuries were fresh. At the very least a week old. He doudted she had fully healed when she had taken the two who were now in the infirmary aboard the Moby Dick on.

"Not all of those wounds are from her fight with Jimbei and Whitey Bay. She was in a confrontation recently." Marco stated as he also looked back at the girl. Who knows how long it was before she finally collapsed.

"Mmh...Didn't she get into a confrontation with a Marine Admiral and another Shichibukai after punching a Tenryubiito at least a week ago?" Thatch, the man who had named the girl from her wanted poster earlier, recounted, not completely sure. This got wide eyes as he continued, remembering the article in the newspaper he had gotten from the news coo. "Oh yeah, she did! Dang she's stubborn. She was more beat up then Whitey Bay and Jimbei, and still took the two on and won. Barely, but she-" He was interrupted by a shocked Ace,

"Wait a minute! She did what?" Thatch nodded as confirmed what he had just said,

"Yeah, it was in the newspaper. She had punched a tenryubiito after he bought a mermaid at the Human Auction House in Sabaody Archipelago. Made the front page-Oh wait...that might not be a good thing..." Thatch fell silent as contemplated the situation. He doubted anybody but Barthalemew Kuma, the Shichibukai she had fought prior to her arrival here, knew where she was, but you couldn't know for sure. And even if the government knew where she was, he doubted they would send Marines out hunting for her. Not when there were other pirates running amok and about.

"So what are we gonna do with her? She needs those injuries treated before they kill her, but she won't let us come near her. And why?" Thatch asked as he found a better question to ask. Ace answered the last one, having met her before, even if he knew a little about her, he at least understood her behavior, which was why he hadn't argued with Marco when said man stopped him.

"Her injuries are why she won't let us come near her. She doesn't trust anyone here but me, and even then it's questionable as to whether I won't try to kill her. You gotta remember she just fought two of our allies, and put them in the infirmary. Even if she did get off worser then them, and Whitey Bay started it, we're all potential enemies out for revenge." He gestured over to the beaten girl, pointing out all the bruises, cuts, scratches, and they were all sure by now that she was favoring her left leg.

"That makes sense. Since she attacked and hurt them, for all she knows we could try and kill her. And us just saying we're not gonna hurt her will put her at ease. There's too many of us, and there is absolutely no way she could take us all on and when in a fight. And there's no sureness that she'd make it very far if she ran. Adrenaline alone will only get you so far when your beaten to a bloody pulp."

"So how do we get her to trust us?" Ace shrugged. Though he would've acted the same way had it been him in her current position, Luffy ran on very different behavioral rules then him. This was probably the only one they both had in common.

"I don't know. Luffy's acting the same as I would in this situation, but I don't know how to get her to trust us in this situation. When I gained her trust, it under more favorable circumstances. With me being on her side, and having a common enemy at that moment in time, rather then being potential enemies to each other." He scratched the back of his neck as he began to think about how to get her to understand that none of them was going to hurt her.

Suddenly Vista came down, having heard the conversation before, and just walked right up to the girl. Luffy fired a warning shot at him, only for Vista to deflect it with a blade. He spoke up, ignoring Ace's protests to stop and not to antagonize her into fighting in the background.

"Listen, we just want to help! Now-" She fired to cause injury this time, only for it to be deflected once again as the swordsman got closer,"-Will-" Another shot, "-You-" and again, "-Stop-" yet another one, "-SHOOTING AND LET US HELP YOU!" He was way too close, and Ace could only pull Vista back as he couldn't predict Luffy's reaction to him getting so close to her when everything was turning into enemies. He didn't make it in time though as Vista was thrown backwards, Luffy having activated her Devil Fruit's abilities.

Her shirt, which had covered her stomach now ripped away at the bottom, revealing a strange tattoo that looked like a small pair of black wings that rapped around her waist, coming to a stop an centimeter or so away from her belly button.

They began to glow white as well, seeming to come alive as they peeled off of her skin, releasing glowing feathers that soon dimmed and blew away with wind. Luffy lept into the air as her new set of wings were spread wide. She landed on the top of a tree branch, not able to stay airborne for long, as her body wasn't the only thing to get damaged before she had arrived on the island. One wing was tucked farther in then the other. Kizaru had broken it when she tried to take to the air to escape one of his attacks, and it still hadn't healed yet, so it wasn't of any use at the moment.

Marco helped Vista back up on his feet. He was fine for the most part, but had gone temperarily blind thanks to the bright flash and was more then a little confused and dizzy at the moment. Marco glared at the girl, who seemd to have gone into a full-blown panic as Ace joined him.

Ace was watching Luffy with a worried look on his face. Luffy was more injured then they originally thought, as one of her wings had been injured in one of the fights as well.

Back with Whitebeard, the man turned when he felt someone tug on his coat. He turned, seeing a still exhausted and injured Whitey Bay.

"Pops, you've got to stop her before she winds up killing herself! I know I started the fight with her, but she didn't use her Devil Fruit powers then, she was too exhausted and injured to use it properly in battle. Now she's pushing it! She'll die if she keeps this up I just know it! You have to stop her! Please!" Whitebeard was about to respond when a gun-shot rang throughout the area. Luffy had just fired at Ace, and though he was fine, seeing the fact he was a Logia-type, and that bullets wouldn't hurt him, she had aimed to kill with that shot, something she hadn't done up until now during her fights one the island. She had only aimed to disable and injure. Never kill. But right now she was aiming for vital points, and Ace would have been deader then dead had he been anyone else most likely.

Marco wasn't too pleased, and Whitebeard wasn't about to let this continue.

"Marco, Ace take Vista and stay back! I'll handle the little brat!" He raised his bisento as Luffy tried to shoot him, this time though, she had a bit more control over her shooting, and wasn't aiming to kill. She was still panicking though. She missed completely, hitting the sand by Whitey Bay and himself's feet. "That's enough you!" He ordered as she hesitated with her next shot. She was running on fear, natural instincts, and adrenaline now. It was only a matter of time before Luffy collapsed unconcious, but she was doing good at being stubborn about it.

"Stay back!" She ordered in a panic. She fired again after Whitey Bay had been taken back to the infirmary by some other pirates along with a still blinded Vista. The four top commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, were still on the beach, a bit farther back then before, and out of the way of the ongoing fight.

Whitebeard tried to knock her down by punching and knocking the tree she sitting on down, but she jumped to a different one.

Suddenly she tried to take to the air, even though she still had a broken wing. Izou intervened then from aboard the ship, shooting her uninjured wing and bringing her back down. Not without her trying to shoot someone aboard the ship though. Her aim was getting sloppy though.

Luffy landed on her feet, within arms reach of Whitebeard. She didn't stay there long though. Instead she tried a geppo, managing to get out of reach of the man, but at a great physical straign to her already over stressed body. If she wasn't about to collapse before, she was sure as heck about to now. There was no way her body could handle anymore fighting, but she appeared to be far from willingly giving up. Ace and the other four commanders growled in frustration, knowing that the longer it took to stop her, the more likely she was to kill herself in the fight. She was already well on her way to making sure she wouldn't have the ability to move on her own every again. A little more and she'd be permanently bound to a wheel-chair.

Finally they had it, and yet again, did not follow their captains orders to the letter completely. They joined in on the fight. Quickly bringing it to an end. Thankfully the only thing that needed to be done was catch her as Luffy's body had finally given out on her, and she slipped from the branch she had landed on trying to get away from Ace and the others.

Marco caught a now unconcious, beaten, and severly wounded Luffy, who would probably be out for a week at least, depending on the true severity of her wounds.

"Finally! My God, this kid knows how to cause trouble for everybody! She's almost more worse then you Ace!" ACe shrugged, more worried about whether or not she would survive her injuries without any dibilitating side effects.

They could all tell they were in for a rough time after this. And they all had a feeling that Whitebeard may want to get the girl to join the Whitebeard Pirates. She wouldn't agree right away, in fact, she might not agree at all. But Whitebeard, despite the girl's panic-induced actions earlier, had taken a liking to the girl. He wouldn't have tried so hard to stop her, and they definitely wouldn't have intervened so quickly if it wasn't the truth. But only time could tell what would happen with the girl, as Ace could attest to despite the little amount of time he had gotten to know her, Luffy's actions could never be predicted. It was impossible to do so, and you were better left not wasting the energy trying, and just going with the flow when it came to dealing with her actions.

Yep, this was going to be fun.

A/N. Thanks for reading. And just so you all know, Luffy didn't meant to aim for a vital spot when she shot Ace, she was just desperate to get them away from her, and wasn't really aiming like she normally would were she calmer and in a less stressful situation. It just seemed like a natural reaction, and no Vista didn't mean to antagonize her, he just wanted her to understand nobody was gonna hurt her, plus she needed medical attention like five minutes ago, but wouldn't let anyone near her so they could help out of fear. But the situation seemed perfectly rational to me. Anyways, thanks again for reading, and please review. Bye!

Luffy: See ya!
