Warnings: AU, OOC, some swearing
A/N: sorry for the long wait, I am not going to make up excuses except that I was waiting for reviews that never came and I was unmotivated or bothered with fanfiction for a while. I am going to be on a semi-hiatus until mid January once the university finals are over, but I will try my best next time. Your reviews count and help me think of who do I write about and how do I explain the plot and etc.
Note: the currency I am going to use is beri but it would be an average of what prices in my country is, e.g. a Samsung galaxy S4 would cost 2000 beri, because in my currency it costs 2000 so just change it to yours. I based it on my currency because changing it to dollars, pounds or euros would be difficult since I don't know what their average prices are or how much is expensive or cheap for people.

Ace's Hidden Camera: Halloween Terror
Nami
Ace sat on his usual chair as he watched the black car arrive, today he is going to try a different scenario but keep it within limits, after all he didn't want to loose his summer house, not yet.
As the car parked an orange haired woman got out, she had waist length wavy hair, brown eyes that sometimes looked red, a big bust and a curvy figure. She was dressed in a black legging, black high heeled brixie booties, and an three quarter V-neck Chiffon Kensie top from Macy's with a Chanel silver chained belt hanging on her hips. She carried an IPhone 5s in a Moschino case with a chain to hold it, and no bag.
This was Nami, an old childhood friend of his brother and used to tutor Ace and Luffy when they would fail in subjects. She was a born genius, with excelling grades and such that she easily got a scholarship to the best school in weather study and navigation, since then she was barely seen. Nami also functioned as the weather woman in multiple TV channels, and is currently doing her university; her weather predictions are 100% accurate without the use of machines. She is also a famous model, having modeled in many magazines including Vogue; however her specialty is swimsuit modeling as she is part of the university's swimming team and got a bronze medal for the national higher education women swimming competition.
The orange haired woman pressed her lips together as she took off her Gucci sunglasses and looked around. She hummed as she took note of the effort pulled into decorating the mansion, and the people setting up for filming. Too bad that it was their role to pretend setting up the place.
Rebecca made her way towards the car; she was dressed in normal clothing, not too expensive so she wouldn't be cheated at. Ace had warned her about Nami and her love for money and valuables; as long as she was dressed normally she would be safe from Nami's hands.
"I'm so going to lose my summer house to her" Ace muttered depressingly as he curled at the corner, surrounded by a gloomy aura. He loved his summer house (mansion); a forest from one side and a lake from the other side surrounded it, and along with Luffy and Sabo they were up to mischievous things.
"Hello there Miss Nami" Rebecca greeted politely as she shook the orange haired woman's hand.
"You too, Rebecca" she replied with a hint of hesitation when pronouncing Rebecca's name. She looked at the place with a slight worry; she saw how Ace and Luffy acted that day when they came back home, all they told her was 'the Marineford Mansion is haunted'. She never really doubted Luffy's words, he seemed scared and worried so they spent the entire day at her house, which was a few blocks away from theirs.
"You seem nervous, is there something wrong Miss Nami" the pink haired host asked with worry. From his monitoring room Ace cursed at how the plan is slightly failing, he completely forgot about how they had spent that Friday at her place in fear and worry.
"No it's nothing, this place just gives me the spooks specially with the ghost stories flying around" she replied as she stopped shaking and took the lead, "shall we go and can you explain to me everything". Ace smirked as Nami made it easier for him to prank her, she led herself to the mansion without being told so, he just needs to remember to keep it in limits if he doesn't want to lose his summer house.
"Sure thing" Rebecca smiled as she motioned for the camera man to follow them, "don't mind him, he is just shooting for the YouTube segment" she stated pointing at the man behind them.
"As long as he take good shots and that would be 500 beri for the one minute" Nami replied with a smile as her eyes turned to a beri sign.
Ace looked at the screen with wide eyes, 500 beri per minute and that would cost about 30000 for the hour, not only is he going to lose his summer house but he might as well lose one million beri at the end of it.
"You are so losing your fortune and everything" Izo muttered as he looked at the screen, the stylist walked towards Ace and sighed, "look make up is going to take a lot if you want to look like a vampire and those fake fangs ugh"
"Well I was hoping for something different this time" he smiled as he took of the earphones and set the sound at speaker, "do a good job Izo" he chuckled as he leaned back on his desk chair as Izo brought his kit towards him.
"Okay so Bloody vampire or cold, which one?" He asked as he opened his masks kit, and set it in front of Ace so the young prankster could tell him how he wants it.
"I want it to be cold and dead at the eyes, red lips, pale, something like that" he stated as he looked as Izo pulled some cream and applied it on the mask before opening his big make up box, "oh and a want an awesome scary looking scar" he added in a childish tone.
"Yes yes" Izo chuckled as he took out a random cylinder and a brush, he looked at the screen as Nami stuck to Rebecca as they walked through the hallway, it was the same room but different background story and methods of scaring.
"I highly doubt it" the orange haired woman chuckled as she walked with Rebecca to the second floor. The Pink haired woman explained to her how that when this mansion was build the number of deaths in the city has increased, and after the second world war people stopped living in it because whoever had set foot on it a week later would be dead.
"Well it's obviously a legend, I mean we have been working on this mansion for about three weeks now and nothing happened to us" Rebecca smiled as she showed Nami a few rooms, "you know they say that a Vampire lived here and they burned her down but I you know how old people are nuts and they make up stuff"
"Besides, camp stories are meant to scare people, I remember that my friend's grandfather he used to tell them scary stories so they would go to bed, and he used exaggerate" Nami explain as she looked at the torn and battered room.
"This is the room where Sengoku's wife turned to a vampire and she killed him" Rebecca explained, "so you will mostly act here, you are perfect for the role, our stylist will make you look like the perfect vampire don't worry"
"What happened after she killed him, he was a rich guy and so what did she do with his money"
"Yes she killed him but he haunted her, in the form of a ghost he would show up and pretend that he is going to burn her" the pink haired host explained as she led Nami out of the room and towards a staircase at the end of the corridor
"As if ghosts exist" she chuckled as she tried to deny the truth, there was no way they would be real, though Nami began to have her doubts and start to believe it was all true.
"I don't know about that, but for one I do believe in supernatural" Rebecca stated darkly as they walked slowly, "and for your question about her taking his wealth, she took all valuables and placed them in a lock box, but then Sengoku appeared and she did the only thing she can think of and it was hid in the box till he leaves her or until someone comes and carries the box but the problem was that he locked the box on her"
"But would that mean she would still be alive until today" Nami asked in a shaking voice.
"Yes she would be alive today and she is going to eat you, you money loving witch" Ace retorted as he looked at the screen with a grumpy expression. Izo chuckled as it was not everyday that you see Ace pissed or annoyed like that, specially in front of a camera.
"If she hears you that would be another 100 beri for each insult and 20 beri for each letter, which would cost you over 500 beri or on top of your summer house she would take your Ferrari" Izo chuckled as he looked at Ace
"You know there was this one time when I was failing geography in middle school and I refused to study that one lesson, she charged me 150 beri for the waste of effort of coming all the way to our house" the freckled adult explained.
"How far away was her house from yours, you know she might be busy or have something else" Izo replied as he finished his final touches on the mask, "so what do you think"
"Her house was just two blocks away from ours, what effort" Ace hissed before he looked at the mask, "whoa, it looks awesome" he stated in a childish tone. The cross dresser could only chuckle at his friend's reaction, while cleaning his workspace.
"Well we found the lock box and the money but there was no vampire or whatever, though back then whoever tried to get to it was killed for the next three years after the incident, turns out another vampire helped her and they escaped but she was caught soon and burned, some say her soul lives in the box to haunt those after her riches"
"but you obviously took the riches right" Nami asked as new lit hope sparked in her eyes, if the it was true she would ask for 10% of the money instead of payment.
"No, the International museum allowed us to borrow it for filming and they will store it for show case" Rebecca explained as she walked inside the room on the third floor, "and it's big and heavy to transport so they would need time" she added as she eyed the box on the corner along with old stuff in the room.
Ace smiled as he got out of the bathroom in an old looking tuxedo. tip never eat oily food before filming, it makes you thirsty and then you need the bathroom urgently, "next time, I will eat breakfast at home rather than McDonald" he muttered.
"You drank an entire 1 liter bottle the entire day and it's 12 in the afternoon, how much water do you plan on drinking" Izo asked as he eyed the empty water bottle laying on the floor. The freckled teen shrugged as he took a seat in front of the monitors, "so what did I miss" he asked
"Well it seems like Nami is hoping to get a fortune out of this" the older of the two stated. Letting the words sink in Ace walked to the corner and sulked about him going to be broke by the end of the day. Izo let out a chuckle as he patted the young man's shoulder, "I was just kidding, besides you have me, Marco, Thatch and the guys to back you up if you needed anything"
Nami scanned the room and took note of the missing doorknob, with a wooden block preventing the door from closing, the old antiques which probably would sell at least over 10000 beri. She frowned as she noticed one person missing, "hey the camera guy is missing, I would charge him 150 beri for getting lost"
"I'll be back in a second, you can look at those valuables but please Miss Nami don't touch or break anything, I don't want to be fired and I believe that you don't want to pay fine now?" Rebecca smirked as Nami sighed about touching the antiques. The pink haired woman made her way out of the room and down the hall calling the cameraman, she did quite a good job in acting.
Ace smirked as he looked at Izo preparing to apply the mask on him; the young adult increased the volume to hear Nami scream when the door would shut on her. Everything is going according to planned as he saw her from the monitors looking at the vases and different antiques studying them well, and probably guessing how much each would sell.
CRASH!
Nami jerked up as the door slammed shut on it's own and looked at the broken vase by her foot, "oh shit what will I do" she cursed as she panicked, more worried about paying the fine rather than being stuck in a room. Ace chuckled in his room as he signaled for the computer team to do their work while he is applying his vampire mask on.
Rebecca took her cue and walked to the door knocking on it, "Miss Nami, what happened" she yelled as she pressed her ears to the door, trying her best to hold a chuckle down.
"Rebecca" the younger exclaimed as she looked to the door and furrowed her brows, "oh nothing" she chuckled sheepishly as she tried her best to fool the woman, and to wriggle out of paying the fine of breaking the antique. It is then she noticed that the door was closed and that there was no knob. She was trapped.
"Nothing, the door is shut and you are stuck and there is no reception to call anyone, I have to run down to the truck and call the fire department, the door is clogged and it wont open up that's why I said to not touch anything" Rebecca scolded. From his room Ace looked at the face Nami made and fell on the floor laughing; how sweet is revenge.
"what do you mean, hey Rebecca open up" the orange haired teen yelled as she walked to the door and banged on it hardly, "hey Rebecca are you there, you're not gone are you" she yelled as she banged on the door hardly. Said woman was standing on the other side of the door trying her best to hold her laughter down and by far she was succeeding.
As if on cue the computing and mechanism team dimmed the lights in the room so that Nami was in complete darkness, a small green light coming from the corner. The animal team followed suit and set in a bat through one of their small flap doors, "Sengoku~" I hollow voice echoed through the room.
"V-Vampire" Nami said in a weak voice as she shivered in her place and looked at the bat with wide eyes. "Rebecca" she yelled as she turned around and banged on the door hardly. Ace flipped as he laughed at the monitor, this was just getting better and better, this would make perfect black mail footage for the future.
"Ace honestly if you wont stay still I cant apply the mask properly and it would get ruined" Izo scolded as he set the mask down and glared at Ace. The cross dresser may have patience to deal with Ace but not when he is giving him a hard time to do his job well.
"okay, fine I will calm…hahaha" the freckled adult spoke but fell back the floor clutching his sides laughing like a maniac, "oh revenge is sweet" he stated as he whipped a tear away. "we will see how sweet this revenge when you lose your fortune" his stylist threatened causing him to sit on the chair and allow him to apply the mask.
The bat flew around the room as echoes of 'Sengoku' resounded through the room; Nami kept banging on the door hardly as she tried to contain part of her sanity. Though her plan wasn't working as another bat flew in and right above her head, "damn it, Rebecca are you there, is anyone there" she yelled as she banged harder. "it is not funny, whoever is doing this it is not funny, I am going to sue you" she yelled as she stomped harder.
CRASH!
Another antique fell as someone from the other side pushed it, each and every worker tried their best to hold their laughs down. Nami yelped as she jumped back and broke several more vases, "oh god why is this happening to me, is it because I am selfish and my prices are high" she asked as she looked at the sky.
Ace had just finished having the mask applied on him along with fake blood on him, he looked at the screen and rolled his red eyes. "yes, duh, you witch" he replied sarcastically. He gave Izo the thumbs up and went up to the third floor as quickly as possible, the closer he got the louder Nami's screams were.
As he reached he looked at his snickering colleagues, walking towards the animal control he grabbed a snake and placed it through a flap that was right above Nami's head. His guest let out a loud yell as she saw the snake, motioning for his hands to his worker to hold the snake, Ace walked towards the lock box flap door and crouched down.
"wish me luck you guys" he muttered as he slid into the flap. It was dark and slightly small in the box but enough for him to lie down and turn around freely as well as have enough air to breathe in. he listened to Nami as she screamed, cursed and prayed at the same time.
"oh god please forgive me if I ever did something wrong, I promise to not cheat people ever again" she prayed as tried her best to hold the tears back. She isn't going to cry; she will show this 'vampire' that she is strong. she will overcome this. Hopefully.
The meteorologist could only shake in fear, and cover her scared face with her eyes. Ace let out a fake vampire groan as he began pushing on the lid of the lock box, "mo-ney" he growled as he began pushing with a bit force so that the lid would lift upwards. Nami froze in her place and looked at the box with fear, she began regretting cheating on her friends, regretted doubling Zoro's debt by 1% each week, she should've been satisfied when he returned her 10 beri instead of adding interest making it 500% by the end of the week.
"I will give you anything just leave me alone" she cried as the lid opened and Ace slowly began standing up and looking around the room. Even if there were no light she would not recognize him as Izo placed a lot of effort into this mask besides his freckles wont show or the build of his face. "KYA" she yelled as a bat hovered over her head again, and it didn't help whatsoever as the 'vampire' turned its face towards her.
"Blood" Ace faked a groan as he jerkily made his way towards her, the orange haired woman could only take a few steps back and causing several more antiques to fall on the ground. The further she want the closer Ace went to her, until she finally arrived at the corner and curled there as tears fell down like a stream, "I'm sorry, I promise to be a good girl, oh god please save me" she prayed as she shook in fear, "I promise that after today I will donate half of my money to the poor and I would spend 10% of my allowance on helping others"
Ace smirked as she went on and on about going to donate for the needy and poor, he is so going to use this for blackmail material and obviously he would sell it to Luffy after filming ends, his little brother would need it to escape her thieving hands. He thought of the ways he could blackmail her, and the ways he would take money from her, he loved revenge.
Walking closer to her, he placed both hands on each side of the wall giving Nami no space to escape as she turned to the wall and began prying and muttering more words. She was shaking and crying hardly as Ace got closer and pretended to sniff her neck, it didn't help when his fake fangs brushed against her skin.
Thinking that it went a bit too far Ace let out a chuckle as he looked at Nami with wide eyes, "BO" he terrorized causing the young female to yelp and fall on the floor curled into a tight ball. He laughed his usual laugh loudly as he brought his hands to his face and began peeling of his mask showing his face, then proceeded to take off the fake fangs.
The poor scared victim parted her finger to look at Ace with wide eyes, his laugh was familiar, his face was familiar, and she knew him. As if on cue the lights turned back on to show her the room as the door opened and a camera guy came in with several others.
Ace couldn't hold it any longer as he took a few steps back and began laughing loudly and rolling on the floor. Nami looked at him with shock, it was Ace, and she was just pranked by him, but she thought he was out of the country and in the Maldives for filming.
Once recomposing himself the prankster stood up and walked to the meteorologist, as he reached to her curled figure he crouched down to her level, "Nami you were just pranked on my 'the ghost of Sengoku' hidden camera show" he stated with a grin.
Registering his words the money loving woman glared at Ace with a pissed look, she pushed Ace and took of her boots throwing them at him, "come here you bastard" she yelled as he made a dash for it and away from the room, running for his dear life and thinking of ways he could save his summer house.
Ace sat down on his director's chair and next to him was Nami in her own, he managed to dodge all of her attacks except for one, which took him by surprise. However the orange haired on the other hand was panting hardly as she leaned back on the chair with a bottle of water in her hands.
She glanced at Ace and saw a one liter bottle almost empty by the leg of the chair, "wow you drank a lot of water" she chuckled as she looked at the bottle.
"well you tend to drink a lot of water when you have McDonalds for breakfast and you are running around most of the time from a meteorologist named Nami" he chuckled as took the bottle and gulped what was left.
"well that's what you get for pranking me" she huffed and closed her eyes as she slid down into her chair with a frown, thinking of what ways is she going to pay him back.
"so Nami what was the scariest thing that you experienced and please do answer me truthfully" he asked the main and most important question of the final segment. Said girl looked at him with a deadly glare; if looks could kill then Ace would be dead long ago.
"truthfully, how would you feel if I locked you in a dark room with bats flying over your head, a snake on your head and a hearing a dead woman's voice calling for her husband and not to mention the sounds you made as a dead vampire and when you pretended to bite me, huh?" she growled.
"so I take it as you were pretty scared then, huh?" he asked in a straightforward simple way like Luffy would ask something. Nami just sighed and shook his head, "if you don't want me to sue you then I expect some good payment, I would like to have your red Ferrari and that summer house at Fuisha Village" she stated
"oh wait, there is a tape and you clearly said that after today you are going to give half of your money to the needy and you would stop stealing from us or did you forget" he asked as he thought of the perfect way to use his blackmail material and save his summer house from Nami, there was no way is he going to give her the house he grew up in before moving into the city of Saboady.
"hey now for blackmail material I am charging you 500000 beri and I expect to find them in my bank account by next Saturday or else I will add a 1% interest for each day" she argued back
Ace glared at her as he gritted his teeth, maybe it wasn't a good idea to have her on. Suddenly an idea popped into his head as he turned around and looked at Nami with a goofy grin, "say how about I buy you a weather station for yourself wouldn't that be enough for me to pay you back and for you to swear secrecy"
"well a weather station I don't know isn't that a bit too much, your summer house, Ferrari and one million would be enough for me to forgive you and swear secrecy" she replied as she fiddled with her shirt, she really wanted the station but she had to make Ace pay the price for pranking her.
"tape" he replied as he gestured to a random guy who gave him a USB, he waved the small item in the air in front of Nami, "you either take the weather station or nothing, though I would prefer you take nothing since you did swear to be kind" he taunted
"until now I will settle on the weather station if there is anything else I would contact your manager or lawyer and explain the situation" she sighed in defeat and drank from her water.
"okay ladies and gentlemen, our dear followers thank you for watching today's episode of 'the ghost of Sengoku' though in this one it was a vampire so it would be 'the vampire Sengoku' anyhow this is our guest Nami and I am Portgas D. Ace, don't forget to follow us on our twitter account for news about us, they are down on the screen over here yeah right here" he stated as he pointed down so when the tape will be edited he would be pointing at a banner with said accounts.
"please do drop buy some insults and scolding on his account and on their website" Nami added and received he rolled eyes from Ace as he ignored her. The young meteorologist sighed and raised her hand in defeat as she stood up and stomped off, leaving Ace to lean back on the chair and laugh at her.
