Chapter III: The Berserker

It was a peaceful cold night. You are lying on your bed at some inn. It was so quiet. The only thing that can be heard is the ticking sound of the wall clock. You closed your eyes. Voices echoed on your head.

"OIIIIIIIII!" he called out—shouted—your name, "I want you to be our Nakamaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Say, wanna join my crew?"

You gradually opened your eyes and stared at the dark ceiling. "Become a pirate, huh?" you mumbled before completely falling asleep.

—x—x—x—

Next day…

'KADON!' the impact of a loud eruption was heard somewhere within a forest of the island. And, it was followed with drastic screams of terrified men. They were running. Panicking. Threatened. There were big craters everywhere and the trees nearby were all shattered. Fragments of broken guns and swords have scattered. And bodies of men can be seen all over the deserted ground. Pirates. Another bunch of hopeless pirates.

"The hell is her problem?!"

"She just started destroying everything and beating everybody after hearing us talking about the shitty Eustass Ki—Gwuak!" the statement of the pirate was interrupted in a flash as he flew 10 meters away after receiving a punch.

"T-that girl is a m-m-monster!" said in shiver of another pirate. He was scanning the infiltrator—You! A little girl with tiny fists yet very gigantic strikes! How can that be even possible?!

"Hurry up! Who the fuck is she?!"

"Shut up! I'm working on it!" shouted a pirate rummaging bundles of wanted photos on the ground.

You launched forward your left foot, arched back your right little fist along with the shoulder then dashed towards another nearest pirate. You cast your fist on the next victim and released a HEAVY blow. Too unlucky for him that it landed perfectly on his face. The punch alone was enough to make him unconscious but you were soooooo furious. You slammed him on the ground creating immerse impact and making another huge crater.

You stood straight and flipped your soft pink hair. Then, you gave them a murderous glare, "Don't you ever dare make fun of my Eustass Kid!" Again, you continued expressing your undying lovely wrath to every standing pirate you see.

A pirate with spiky purple hair frightened down on his shaking knees. He was trembling as he stares at you. His eyes were all opened wide and irises were both quivering wild. He bit his nails and grinded it while watching you beat his fellow pirates. He stuttered.

"W-were so screwed! S-she… could be the…"

"What?! Spit it out!"

"…berse…" he murmured in tremble.

"Huh?" said the pirate rummaging the wanted posters.

"SHE'S THE BERSERKER!" finally he shouted out loud pointing his index finger on you! Promptly, it took everyone's attention including you.

You heard him clear. You have just been identified! He just shouted that 'you are the Berserker'. Your momentum suddenly vanished. You paused—frozen on your stance.

"Dumbass! The berserker is a GIANT and has a WHITE hair!" the pirate in-charge on the wanted poster said while pointing on the picture of the Berserker.

"She could be that strong but there is no way that she could be that 200 milion beli monster!"

"I'm certainly sure that she's the Berserker!"

"How can you say?" asked another the pirate.

—x—x—x—

Meanwhile, somewhere along the east coast of the island… in the sea shore…

"I'm soooooooo excited to have our first female crewmate!" Shachi exclaimed while daydreaming on you.

"You think she's coming?" Penguin asked his Captain beside him.

His Captain, Trafalgar Law, remained silent on his seat—a box of supply. The shadow of his cap hid his face which made him look more serious. He too had no idea whether you will appear or not. They were just waiting with no assurance.

"Penguin, how much do you know about the Berserker?" Law finally said.

"Is she seriously hunting that woman?" Penguin asked in surprise.

"Just answer my question."

"Hmm…" Penguin said holding his chin. "…what I know, based on the rumors, is that she is a short-tempered monster and one day was provoked by the Navy headquarters on some small island… in her anger… she single handedly destroyed the said Navy HQ and the whole island using her bare fists. Nobody knows what really happened. All that was left were bunch of dead bodies and the traces from the fight. No one knows what she really looked like except for the Den Den Mushi. From what I've heard she heartlessly killed the poor snail. But too late for her, the smart snail already transported her image, though, only her back. Some say she was a giant and some says she was a ghost. Her whereabouts was still unknown and nobody saw her that lived but…" Penguin paused for a moment. He took a piece of twig and doodled few stick persons and circles on the sand. He continued, "…whenever a place is pretty messed up and there are huge holes and bundles of dead bodies all over the place, they say those were her works, it was her signature marks. Probably that's why she was given the name 'the Berserker' due to her wide range of anger."

Trafalgar Law scoffed. He just uttered, "Interesting…" and was followed with a large grin on his face.

"Hey Penguin, your drawing sucks you know." Shachi commented.

"Shut up!" Penguin responded.

"I'm sorry…" Bepo apologized.

"Why are even apologizing?!" Penguin and Shachi exclaimed.

—x—x—x—

The purple head pirate spread his arms then he freaked, "Can't you see? A while ago, this place was still part of the forest and now it looked completely different! Haven't you noticed? This place has already been sunken!" he pointed some trees above trying to justify his statements. Then shifted his finger to a ruptured spot before adding, "Those huge craters! Her attacks! Those were the signature marks of the Berserker!"

"Y-you're right!" agreed from one pirate laying his head on the ground with his one eye closed.

"Hey! It's not the time check on her ass!" another pirate said.

"It's not it moron! Everyone try to lie down on the ground!"

"What?!" they all reacted.

"Just do it!"

The entire remaining pirate did what the other pirate suggested. They knelt down and leaned their heads on the ground. They looked at your frozen stance. All of them look at the wanted poster of the Berserker at the same time. The pose… the angle… the view… the huge holes… and dead bodies… All of them sat straight. They glanced at the poster once more then looked at you. Gradually, their eyes begun popping-out, jaws were going down to the ground and nasal fluids starting to drip.

"IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME!" they exclaimed in chorus.

Of course! It was exactly the same—except for the clothes, hair color, place and victims—since that is just how you do things.

You flinched.

"T-t-t-t-that's not true! I'm n-not that p-p-p-p-p-person!" you nervously said as you looked at your shoulder while playing with your hair.

"SHE CERTAINLY IS LYING!" the pirates said in group reaction.

Ah! Screw denying! Just wipe them all out so you could live without worries! Your mind shouted. You resumed your stances back and ready to take them all down. But suddenly…

"Shit! Marines are coming!" shouted by a pirate.

You glanced to your back. And he is right. There are marines from miles away running towards you! Things got pretty screwed up! You can't let anyone leak information about you. What to do? What to do now?!

"This is bullshit! I'm leaving!" said the pirate which took your attention. You looked back to them.

No! He can't leave knowing your true identity! He must be silenced! Must… kill… him… kill… EVERYONE! That's it! You've made up your mind. You gave them a 'going-to-kill-you-all' glare and stomped your foot forward. The pressure from your foot was about to released but…

"GWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Pirates started to scream and then went down one by one. A huge blade of neat wind passed through you. Eye sights became blurred due fuzzy gust. Its howl made you crossed your arms in front your head, flicking your hair. You looked at its trail. It sliced the ground apart! That attack! It surely is familiar! It's no doubt!

"I thought I told you to stay out of trouble." A tall man wearing a wide-brimmed black hat with short beard and mustache said. He placed his large crucifix sword behind his back.

"Mi…hawk onii-sama?" you mumbled.

He walked passed you and stared at the running marines. "Don't do anything. And don't call me onii-sama, I'm not your brother, you foolish girl."

You just looked at him and stayed quiet.

The marines reached the area and saw the damages from the fight. Obliterated forest parts, huge craters, remains of broken weapons, bunch of beaten pirates all over the ground and a huge cut on the ground. Marines were all shocked. As if some monster passed through. The huge cut was recognizable—surely made by the greatest swordsman of the world. But the giant cracks? Clearly, they were from the Berserker.

"Search the area! She might not be far!" said a marine, probably high rank. The group of marines scattered and searched the area. He then glanced to you. You awkwardly hid on Mihawks back.

"Rear admiral." A marine said followed by his salute. "There are no traces of the Berserker."

"Just like from the other reports, huh?" The Rear Admiral replied. He once again looked at you and then kneeled to you.

Oh shit! Does he know? What should I do? I can't be discovered. You whispered in your mind.

Fear. It was corrupting your head. What will happen if they know? Going to be locked in jail? No! You can't go to jail! NEVER! You still have many adventures ahead! But… he looked so serious and looked so mad at you! You should kill him! No, wait! You can't! Mihawk said don't do anything. You'll make things even worst! But… that Rear Admiral might know something… they have many Den den mushi with them… your cover will be unmasked! Is this it? End of journey?

As you think of those stuffs, you unconsciously started to create waters from the side of your eyes. You can't be exposed! You thought.

"Rear Admiral! You're scaring the little girl!" a comical synchronization from the marines.

"I'm not that scary!" an agitated defense from him.

Mihawk noticed you tremble. He begun to walk away, "They are marines. You are safe now."

"Eh?" you said. Why the heck does he even need to say that? He knows that you are completely aware of marine appearance. But why? Wait! Could it be… he is trying to make you look innocent in front the marines! That must be it!

"Don't worry litt—" the Rear Admiral didn't have his chance to finish his statement.

"O-onii-sama, wait!" you called making the great swordsman irritated. But, instead of glaring you, he silently watched you as you run towards him and embraced his back. "T-they were scarier…"

"You were scaring her after all!" the marines said as their Rear Admiral can do nothing but to scratch the back of his head out of guilt.

The Rear Admiral walked towards you. "Sorry for scaring you little girl… I'm just wondering if you might happen saw her face, the Berserker."

But your respond was an immediate shake of head. Then, you buried your face on Mihawks back. Even frightened, you really are adorable. You looked more like a 'victim'.

The Rear Admiral sighed in disappointment. You seemed to be innocent anyway. He shifted to the swordsman. Hesitantly, he tried to ask the Shichibukai about his encounter on the Berserker. The Rear Admiral tried to swallow his fear. Surely, Dracule 'Taka no Me' Mihawk is a Shichibukai that works directly under the government but he is still a pirate, a very frightening one and there is no guarantee that he will give any information to a marine without the consent of the World Government.

"It is none of my concern." Mihawk uttered.

'That was expected' the Rear Admiral said in his mind.

"…but, for the sake of this girl, yes, I've encountered her. However, she vanished before I lay a glimpse of her." He continued.

"I see, thank you for your cooperation." The Rear Admiral said. He glanced to his men and commanded, "Let's try the forest! We might find clues there!"

"Hah!" a salute from the marines. Then, the marines, including the Rear Admiral went deeper into the forest trying their luck in capturing the mysterious criminal.

You released your grip on Mihawk and then exhaled a heavy sigh. You were lucky that Mihawk happens to be on the island.

"T-thanks…" you said.

Fear was still written all over your face. He noticed it. He patted your head and you looked at him as a reaction. By just staring at him, you felt relaxed. As if you are safe whenever he's around, just like the old times. He didn't utter any word. But you understand what he is trying to say. Calm yourself.

"Umm… how did you know I was here?" you started.

"Purely coincidence", Mihawk responded. He crossed his arms and started walking towards the direction of the sea. "I was on my way to my castle. Then I saw your attacks."

"Ah! I just remembered! I'm going to the east side of this island to meet some friends! They might be at the beach now and will leave in few minutes. H-have you noticed them?"

Mihawk looked upward, to the sun, then he pointed, "…it's on the other side."

Your eyes opened-wide and you dropped your jaw comically. Your sense of direction never stops on surprising you.

"No way! It's… too far… I-I won't make it in time… it's… soooooooo far!" you murmured as you kneelt down on depression with matching hysterical sobbing.

A sigh escaped from the great swordsman's mouth. He grabbed you in his arms and carried you in a bridal style. You blinked. Then he uttered, "Hold on." You nodded as he commanded, wrapping your arms around his neck. He started dashing freaking fast! It is obviously clear that Mihawk can run 30 times faster than you. You really are lucky that he happened to pass by. First he saved your ass from the marines and second by bringing you to the other side of the island. He was really a great and responsible brother! Well… you wished.

Few hours later, the two of you have reached the other side of the island, at the east shore. He carefully put you down on the sand. He huffed as he tried to catch his breath and then wiped his sweat using the back of palm.

You run near the ocean. Scanning from left to right and looked everywhere. But, no one was around. No submarine, no pirates and no Bepo. You knelt down. Then a gloomy aura of despair started to appear from your shoulders.

"T-they're gone…" you sobbed.

"I think they want you to keep in touch." Mihawk said.

You glanced back to him, trying to process what he meant. He waved his head pointing to a rock. As you focused your eyes on it, you noticed an image of a small snail. Wait! That's a Ko Den-den Mushi! You stood up and walk towards it. There's a small piece of paper below the baby den den mushi. It was… moving! And something was written on it.

We left. See you around.

-Tora-chii

Your eyes opened-wide. Ironically, you pressed a vague smile. Probably because he used the nickname you gave him. Though, it's a shame that you did not have the chance to be with them.

"Finally planning to be a pirate?"

"N-no." you replied. "I just need a ride… I still prefer to travel alone…"

The great swordsman chuckled. "I really admire your guts but your eyes speak differently."

You flinched. He was right. Deep down in your heart you really want to be with them. You want to know them more. Their good people anyway and very funny in many ways. Even for minutes, you enjoyed accompanying them. What more if you're with them for a day or two? Besides, you are curious with their Captain, Trafalgar Law. You have experienced weird happenings with him and you want explanation. Admit it or not, he makes you happy.

Mihawk exhaled. "I think it's best for you to join a pirate crew. The seas of the new world are extremely dangerous. You won't survive it."

"Eh?" you said in surprise.

"If you really want to travel around the world, you should have companies—Nakamas—to share your adventures with. Besides, you are now a 200 milion beri wanted man. You can stop hiding your identity and live as free as a pirate or… just go home and cause no more troubles."

You curled your eyebrows and got annoyed on him. You started to hit him lightly on his chest with the sides of your fists. "Ah! You know how much I hate your second option!"

"Then be a pirate! What's holding you back?"

His words caught you off guard. You suddenly stopped pounding his chest. He was right, what's holding you back from joining your friends' adventures? Are you that afraid to involve them with your so called 'curse', which seems to be not a big deal? They already accepted you, both Luffy and Law, even after knowing the true you. So what's holding you up? Or was it your precious pride? Since, you declared to travel the world alone.

"Call them. They might not be that far." Mihawk uttered, reaching you the sleeping mini snail.

You wanted to cry in joy! Mihawk was really such a GREAT and RESPONSIBLE brother! Though he is not your brother and he proclaimed not to have a 'foolish' little sister like you. But still, you loved him like a brother of your own.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! I sooooooo love you, Mihawk onii-sama!" you cried out loud while hugging him.

"…"

—x—x—x—

Somewhere deep-down the ocean…

*puru puru puru*

*puru puru puru*

*puru puru puru*

"Hey! Who's den den mushi is that?!" Shachi shouted.

The ring of the den den mushi continued. Trafalgar Law, who is currently taking his nap on Bepo, thought the den den mushi on his pocket was vibrating. He took it out and he was right. Somebody was calling for him.

*puru puru puru*

*puru puru—*

*Kacha!*

"Ah! They pick it up!" the gifted snail mimicked your words.

Your innocent voice echoed the whole metallic hall way of the Hearts Pirate's submarine. Law's eyes opened-wide after hearing your voice. He smiled.

"She actually came!" Penguin shouted as he slides to his Captain's snail.

Shachi dived towards his Captain too, who is still sitting on the ground. He held his Captain's wrist then moved the snail close to him—to Shachi. "H-hi!"

"Oi! You're too close." Law said pushing his over-excited Nakamas away. He stood up and walked few steps away from them. "Where are you now?"

"Eh? S-still at the shore…"

"Stay there we're coming back."

Law commanded Jean Bart to surface the ship back to the island. Shachi and Penguin danced in happiness after hearing the good news. And Bepo, well he is still asleep.

"Ah! Wait! I… uhh… I'm not joining your crew!"

Those words instantly took away Law's smile. Shachi and Penguin stopped on dancing. They wanted to dive again on their Captain's snail to complain but you continued.

"Aw! ...yet… no! ah! urgh…" later, your voice became somewhat distorted, "…bwo-kei! Bfayn! A bwil…trai…" [okay! Fine! I will try…] then your voice became clear again"…but… do you mind if I accompany you guys… umm… even for a moment?"

They were baffled on what really happened. Shachi and Penguin just glanced to each other asking themselves 'signal distortion?' But Law didn't care that much. He scoffed then pressed a smile on his face, "Sure"

*Kacha*

The other line—yours—hanged up. Then the submarine returned its route back to the island.

"It's gone! I wanna talk to heeeeeer…" Shachi said in agony.

"Bad connection maybe?" Penguin asked.

The noises from his crewmates suddenly woken up the innocent sleeping bear. He rubbed his eyes by the fluffy back of his paws and noticed his Captain's grin. No wait! It is a smile! A very simple yet relaxing smile! This is the second time Bepo saw his Captain to wear a smile without malice or sarcasm.

'Did I miss something?' he thought to his mind while tilting his head.
