The Adventures of Brown D. Kayla
Chapter 2: A new friend or a New Enemy
Many people believe there was a code. A code that mostly every captain must abide by his or her ship. Well, today I'm realizing rule number 1. "Rule number 1: Don't let any trespassers on your ship." There was a problem. There's a girl on the "Little Gladys". Apparently, she has gun towards my face. I wasn't really afraid…I was really unimpressed. During the action, she just… Honestly, she did a good job of sneaking on my ship. I can tell that she swam here. She had a serious face like she truly hated me or something.
"Look, I don't want any trouble…" I said calmly.
"Damn right, we won't have any trouble! I want you to give me your money and to get out of MY ship! Do it swift!" she said aggressively.
"Really?" I thought
"I want you out NOW!" she yelled.
"She's either very smart or very stupid..." I thought again.
I didn't respond...
"CLICK!" the gun was set.
"If you won't do it," before she could say anything I said softly, "Agua burbujas."
"What did ya said?" she asked violently.
Of course, a bubble of a gallon of ocean water covered her head. She struggled and then blindly used her gun, pulled the trigger, and shoot everywhere. The bullet almost got me. But thank goodness I have the Mizu – Mizu fruit, and bullet just went through me. These are one these moments that you thank God for eating a devil fruit or having a special ability. Finally, she collapsed on the floor.
"'Bout time..." I said annoyed.
I looked at my outfit. I looked at my black and white self. I felt a dark feeling in my heart.
"What am I doing here at ocean? Why am I a..." I asked myself, "Crap! Release! Release!" I shouted.
The bubble popped and I checked her pulse.
"Thank God!" I said relieved.
TWO HOURS LATER...
Kayla and the unconscious girl were in another island. Before docking, she saw a young boy with a straw hat with a guy with three swords were about leave.
"That kid was lucky... He has his first mate. Hopefully, I can get mines too." I thought.
I looked at the kid and smiled. Strangely, he smiled back at me. Both of the men left on a small ship.
"Now what should I do about her..." I said seriously.
I looked at her like I just catch a foreigner. I looked at her again. She looked dead. Maybe I'm not doctor, but I can see a gray-pale face.
"Man, this sucks! I didn't mean to kill her, it was just," before I stressed myself any further she started to cough and vomit ocean water and food.
"She's okay." I said quickly.
"What THE HELL?" she yelled.
"Oh... You shouldn't do that..." I said.
"WHAT? YELL AT YOU [#$%^]in' idiot! WHY WOULD YOU KILL ME?" she yelled again, then her breathe became silent. She had trouble breathing.
"Yeah I told you." I said calmly, "You need to regain your oxygen. You'd almost died, remember?"
She sat up and wiped the bits of vomit from her mouth.
"Well, I think you owe me an apology..." I said firmly.
"Uhhhhh... Uhhhhhhh..." she stumbled.
"Say it... I know you can." I said and grinned.
She sighed and breathed out a good breath. She said sorry fully, "I'm sorry..."
"That's good..." I said then smiled.
"Hey, you sound like my mother." She said.
"Oh..." I said.
"You miss your mom?" she asked, "Sorry, for the no introduction. My name is Paige. What's yours?"
"My name is Kayla... Kayla D. Brown..." I answered greatly.
"What about the question I asked?" she asked.
"I missed my mom and dad." I said sadly.
"I miss them too." She comforts me.
"Even though in the past my parents were completely stupid, they do care about me. My father mostly abuses me. They only want three children. I was the fourth child. They'll do anything to kill me. They made me work a lot; they made me do so many ungodly things. When I was eight, they made me dispose of a cadaver. So one day, I had run away from them. I had to, it was the only way. The only people I missed is my mom and my sisters. I have been a pirate for seven years hiding and joining in pirate groups. Some I quit while others crumbled before they got a chance. Point is I'm trying to make ends meet and I don't have any money so I steal from other pirates. I have another question. What's with the eye patch?" she asked.
"To make a long story short..." I started. I told her about my past. I told her about mu country being invaded. I told her about my jerk-ish brother. Most of all, I told her about the truth about the Governments plans.
"Dang, I thought my past suck, but what about the eye patch?" she asked.
"A bunch of bullies came over wanting my money; they punched me in the eye badly. I stand up to them, and ran off." I explained.
"But how many years you got that injury?" she asked again.
"A year." I answered.
"You need to take it off. It's not okay to keep your right eye into darkness." She said kindly.
"This eye is a reminder of the pain I have to go through for eight years." I said with certainty.
"No! This is holding you back. This pain making you going back in time. You are not letting that scar heal."
"Woah, you're saying to forget my past!" I said shocked.
"No, I never said that! You never erase you're past. This eye patch is the problem. Get rid of it." She pleaded, "I know you miss your mom and dad, and your brother and the government have betrayed you, but I know this, wallowing in your past isn't going to help. Be free... Give up this pain!" she explained confidently.
I looked at myself. She was obviously right. I was in a cage of pain for eight years. Instead of trying to free myself, I cried in shame. To make things worse, I was too blind to see the exit. I need to be free... I need to spread my wings and leave Pain...
In my mind...
I was in the cage called Pain. I looked determined.
"I WILL BE FREE!" I shouted determined.
With one punch the cage bust and the some steel bars were broken. After I stepped out to the outside world, a dark evil force in a form of cloud, came and was about to choke.
"You will not escape from Pain. I, control you, I contain you! You will never experience peace." It said demonically.
"Yeah right! I WILL BE FREE!" I yelled.
A bright yellow light glowed from me...
"Wha? I can control you! You can't escape! This isn't the last you seen from me! WAAAAAHHHHHH!" it yelled.
The light continued to glistened Kayla's mind. Instead of a cage, there was a fruitful valley. I smiled and I picked up a white hibiscus.
At the ship...
I closed her eyes, and opened it again. I ripped my eye patch off. I threw it to the ocean. For once in my nine years, I felt like I achieved peace...
"See, I told you that eye patch was holdin' you back." She said gladly.
"Yeah I guess so. Say, you wanna be my first mate?" I asked.
"Well, I don't have pirate groups to join, since beat up the last ones. Why the hell not? It's probably going to be fun..." she said proudly.
'YEEEEEEAAAAHHHH! I have my first mate!" I said excitingly.
The sun is still shining and the waves were calm. I can't believe that I have my first mate.
"So, what should we do now?"I asked.
"How about a clothes shopping? You need get rid the black and white get up. You look boring in black and white!" she said.
"You're right. I don't look good in this outfit." I said shyly.
The two girls went to a nearby town and went clothes shopping for Kayla's new outfit.
