Chapter 2: Hina's new home!
Dear Diary,
Hina cannot believe what rotten luck Hina has. Here are the top five reasons why Hina has very rotten luck:
5. Hina's first experience on a Luxury Cruise was the one which ended up a disaster,and now Hina is totally scarred for life
4. All of the hard earnt babysitting money that Hina spent blood and toil (not literally of course) babysitting numerous spoilt salivating brats has now effectively gone down the drain
3. Hina is now positively broke without any money for food or any spare clothing
2. Hina is now stuck with a very grouchy (and smelly!) Smoker-kun and a very motherly Tashigi
1. The Captain of this ship, Sakazuki, happened to be the father of one of the *quote from above* spoilt salivating brats that she had to spend blood and toil babysitting
Hina buried her face in her hands in pure agony and stifled a scream. Oh how she wished she could go back in time and snatch away those words that came pouring out of her mouth! How much she hated her mouth right now! She only said what she said because she thought that she would never have to see Sakazuki's son, needless to say, Sakazuki, ever again! Oh Roger! She must have seemed like such a fool! Hina shook her head frantically from side to side in a vain attempt to clear the daunting memory from her head. Massaging her temples with her fingers, she muttered "Oh roger..." as her merciless mind brought her back (again) to relive the memories of that horrifying moment.
- Flashback-
"I HATE YOUR CHILD!" Hina screamed in Sakazuki's face, seething too much to care about her third person narrator anymore, "He is ungrateful, selfish, untidy, rude, disturbing, naughty, irritating, loud and-"
"Why not I get you a drink, and then we can talk when you are more, um, settled." Sakazuki said, somewhat awkardly.
It was totally appropriate for Sakazuki to be feeling akward. After all, he had just stepped into his house at seven at night, with his briefcase and huge flowing 'JUSTICE' jacket on his back when he was assaulted by a huge barrage of insults and complaints from his very worked-up slave, i mean, baby-sitter. Seeing how uncertain the huge towering Marine Admiral was, Hina nearly felt relented on following up her complaints (keyword: nearly). Gathering up whatever was left of her resolve, she squared her (very feminine) shoulders and shook off his favour.
Smiling tightly at him, she shook her head and told him that tea wasn't necessary. Then, she invited him to have a seat on his sofa (which he did so perched back straight in a rigid and uncomfortable position) and then she...
She... exploded. All the pent up fury that she had been keeping in for the past few months finally found their outlet as she started shouting and screaming curses at the 'young master', calling him various profanities and even some more creative ones combining two or more languages together to produce the desired effect. Sakazuki just continued sitting on the sofa stoically and watching the girl before him work herself into a frenzy in silent admiration. (Who knew such a seemingly harmless and innocent girl could end up spewing out such coarse and disgusting words?) After ten minutes of a one-sided shouting match, Sakazuki finally cleared his throat (noisily enough to get the attention of Hina), smiled at her sweetly and handed her an envelope. Hina looked down at it blankly, until she saw the money inside.
"It is your salary for the next three months," Sakazuki spoke, still smiling forcefully. Hina's eyes widened. Oh no, Roger couldn't! Even after the huge amount of things that she had just said, she was STILL NOT FIRED? Roger! All she ever wanted was to be fired from this horrible household. Roger! Is it really that hard? Hina wailed mentally. it was all Hina could do not to slam her head against the wall.
"But sir, I don't want this job!" Hina cried, somewhat desperately.
Sakazuki looked at her emotionlessly, "You don't want it, you need it."
"Huh?" Hina was lost.
Sakazuki smiled creepily at her, "I gave you three months of salary in advance. According to your babysitting company guidlines, you, the employee, cannot refuse a job offer if the job offer pays you three months' salary in advance. *another fake smike* Anyway, as you probably know, my son is very... well known in this region for his antics. As a result, nobody will ever want to babysit him. You know that. Hence, I am being forced into a corner. I will have to force you to babysit him at least for the next three years. If you insist on not babysitting him and instead hopping off to some holiday or cruise, then you can be sure that I. WILL. FIND. YOU. WHEREVER. YOU. ARE. and when that time comes, *he leans closer to make himself seem even more menacing* YOU. WILL. BE. SORRY." he hissed threateningly.
And, of course, Hina being Hina, she decides to totally obey instructions and continue babysitting that spoilt brat, totally wasting the precious next three months of her youth. Not. So instead, she gallops (not hops) to the nearest cruise, and jumps (still not hops) onboard, spending all of Sakazuki's money in a matter of seconds.
-Flashback ends-
Hina shuddered as she huddles in a corner of the ship's (only) female cabin. Sakazuki said that when he found her, she would be sorry. And he did. Find her I mean. That being said, Hina realised that it was only a matter of time before she would be make to walk the plank. Or experience hell on earth, whichever was more painful. Hina shuddered yet again as her sweat-drenched clothes seemed to make her feel even colder than it already was.
"W-where is this ship taking us?" Hina asked the only other person in the cabin.
"How should I know? I was forced to come here. I was a pirate. I'm Jewellery Bonney, ever heard of me?" the voice resounded from the other end of the room as another person stepped into the light, another pink haired person.
Hina stopped. She was shocked, to say the least. Wow! First, I nearly get mauled to death by my conscience and my merciless memories, and now there is another pink-haired self-proclaimed pirate in my room? This day just gets more and more interesting.
"So... what room is this?" Hina asked innocently, totally ignoring the later part of Bonney's question.
Bonney sighed loudly, as she plonked herself on her bed, her metal chains clanking loudly against the ship's wooden floor, "We're home, for now."
A/N: Yayy, another chapter done! I hope you enjoyed it!
By the way, you may think that Sakazuki is a little OOC, but the way I see Sakazuki is that he is a parent who doesn't have enough time for his child because he is too busy pursuing ABSOLUTE JUSTICE. However, I feel that he is a person who is quite bearable to be with after working hours, mainly because his JUSTICE craze is over and he is just like another person on the street.
As for the appearance of Jewellery Bonney, I wrote this with a part of the anime in mind, where Blackbeard left Jewellery Bonney and her crew behind for Sakazuki to arrest them while Blackbeard and his crew made an escape. That was how Jewellery Bonney came into the picture.
Thank you for reading! I really appreciate it!
