Amista stood staring into the pirate's golden eyes. She could see a slight smirk on his lips. Her fingers itched to slap it away. But that would not only get her fired, it would also get her into trouble with very dangerous pirates.

Dejectedly Amista walked to the front of the room to stand in front of the crowd. She hoped that she looked a lot more together than she felt. She felt as though she would pass out at any tic of the clock.

'Be calm. What's the odds that he still remembers you?" Amista thought calmly. It was only when she noticed that the man's golden eyes on her, that she knew he was enjoying watching her squirm.


Mihawk watched as the young and curvaceous blonde walked to the front of the room. She frequently looked back at him making a smirk tug at his lips. He could tell she was uncomfortable. That would teach her to talk to him the way she did. She wouldn't be looking down her nose at him now.

"Good afternoon gentlemen." Nye called out. Mihawk felt the growl in his throat. The man wasn't in his good books. He had stole Mihawk's woman.

Mihawk scowled at the memory. Walking in on the two of them. The stupid whore even had the guts to sleep in his bed. Mihawk felt his blood start to boil that was until he saw the side glance Nye gave to the pretty blonde at his side.

"This is Amista and she will be the advisor for the shichibukai and the four emperors!" Nye's eyes swept over Amista and Mihawk nearly growled. The thug was so slimy it made him feel sick.

There was no way that stupid pig would get his claws into a woman like Amista. He remembered back to earlier that morning when she had looked up at him from the ground. Her eyes had looked vulnerable and innocent. He would not let that be taken away from her.

Mihawk stopped mid thought. Why did he care what happened to that girl. She would have to grow some spine with the job that she had anyway. So why did he feel so protective of this woman. She wasn't his responsibility. She would do better off with someone less dangerous. Someone who wasn't an arsehole.


Amista felt her heart race at a thousand miles an hour as Nye introduced her to the pirates. Everyone that wasn't a pirate turned white as she moved to stand close to the table.

"It's nice to meet you all." Amista siled sweetly to the crowd in front of her. They all smirked except for the red head. He absolutely beamed at her. It made her feel a bot better.

"I will be coming around to talk to each of you as you go about your business." Amista could feel her hands shaking. She hated speeched, especially ones that she hadn't been able to rehearse before hand. "Though the times will be random. So please be prepared."

One of the pirates close to her started to giggle. He was wearing a strange pink feather cape and oddly shaped sun glasses.

"So you think you can handle us hot stuff?" He giggled again and all attention was focused on Amista. His smirked irked her, making her even more nervous.

"I beg your pardon?!" Amista asked incredulously. What on earth could this pirate be taling about, he didn't seem very nice.

Before Amista new it she was walking towards the golden eyed man. Her legs seemed to have gotten a mind of their own. She felt herself flung at the rock hard abs of the golden eyed man. She also heard his low growl.

"Let the woman go you moron!" Mihawk barked as Amista was thrown at him. He helped her to her feet and stood up towering over everyone else in the room.

"Oh come on Mihawk live a little." Doflamingo laughed. "She has to grow some spine anyway."

Amista felt her heart fly from her body. She couldn't believe that she had not made the connection earlier. The Hawk eyes Mihawk. She was in deep trouble. She turned to look over at Nye.

"Well I've got to go! I'll talk to you when you report later on tonight." Nye winked at her and fled the room. She shivered he was so creepy, she was not looking forward to reporting to him.

It was just then that Amista realised that she was in a room full of pirates, by herself. She wished that the ground would open up and eat her. She sucked in a silent breath and gathered her courage. Nothing for her to worry about. She would deal with them the same way she dealt with the thugs that came into the small bar she used to work in.

"So are there any questions about this new position?" Amista kept her tone deliberately sweet. She would not fall to their level unless she really had to.

"Yeah how could a woman such as you acquire this job?" Doflamingo giggled. He was really starting to get on her nerves the way he asked rude and stupid questions. Trying to get her flustered.

"Exactly what are you inquiring." Amista asked. She could tell the two of them would not get along. She tried to look as though she was completely relaxed and in control, even though she was falling apart on the inside.

"Well you obviously have no spine woman." A cruel glint came into Do flamingo's eyes. "Don't think I didn't see the way Nye was looking at you. The stupid bastard!"

"Are you implying that I am sleeping with that creep of a man." Amista felt her body fill with rage as her face came up close to Do flamingo's and her voice lowered. 'And even if I was sleeping with him and I got my pick of a job. Why the hell would I choose this one?!"

"Ah so you can stand up for yourself?" Doflamingo giggled again. Amista could tell she was rising to his bait. He was just playing with her. "You are an interesting woman! Not like the last advisor we had."

Amista would have to ask her sister what had happened to the last advisor. Amista smiled at him sweetly trying to inject as much ice into her voice as possible.

"Mr Doflamingo I would ask if you could keep your derogatory thoughts to yourself so that I do not have to hear them." Amista then turned to the rest of the pirates in the room and curtseyed to them. "Good day gentlemen."

"Fleeing already miss prissy?" Amista turned to look into her offenders eyes. He was quite handsome though he had a sly feeling to him. A scar was the most noticeable feature on his face. It crossed horizontally through the middle of his nose. His name was crocodile. He definitely had something he didn't want her to know about.

"You make trouble for me Mr Crocodile." Amista smiled sweetly her eyes turning glacial. "I'll make the rest of your life a living hell." With that said Amista turned on her heal and left the room smartly. She could hear the pirates giggling as she left but she didn't care.


"I trust the meeting went well my dear?" Nye asked as Amista sipped the tea he had given her. "You didn't let them fluster you?"

"Of course not. I can handle a bunch of low life thugs." Amista knew she was lying. She had felt like crying when she left the room. They had smashed her pride to a million pieces. Not that she would let anyone know that.

"Good." Nye paused. "Well your first assignment is with Hawk eyes. He said he would wait for you by the docks." Nye smiled and handed her a small den den mushi "Call me once you get to Rodina Island, I will give you your first task then."

"But I thought my task was to look over the pirates." Amista was confused. How many jobs could one person do?

"That is your job. But you have to also pull your weight by fighting thugs and villains as well." Nye kissed her hand and pulled Amista to his chest. "Don't worry my dear, I won;t let anything happen to you."

His lips locked with Amista's and she felt herself freeze. His tongue rudely barged into her mouth without getting permission first.

"Sorry Mr Nye I have to leave." Amista squeaked as she turned and fled. Nye smirked as he watched her go. She definitely wanted him.

Amista falt the tears in her eyes as she threw herself onto her bed. Her boss was a pervert. How did she ever get herself into this mess? Now she new what the pirates were talking about. She resolved that as soon as she reached Mihawk she would demand that he told her what had happened to the other woman in her position.
