Sorry that the story update took so long! Please review for we love reviews and we hope you enjoy!
"I'm sooo bored!" Alice wined hanging onto the rail in a pitiful manner. Leona looked up from her book, still getting used to Alice's behavior. Leona was a small woman. She had a calm demeanor to her until someone said they were sick or injured and then she went psycho. She had auburn hair in a pixie cut and sky blue eyes that were obscured by square glasses. She dresses in black pants, a yellow blouse, and had brown boots.
"Well, that's what you get for being stupid" Marik said handing Leona some tea he made. Alice turned her head and looked at him annoyed.
"Shut up old man! No one asked you!"
"O-old man? I'll show you ol-"
"Marik, this tea is wonderful" Leona said taking a sip changing the subject before the guns were drawn.
"Thank you Leona" Marik said with a smile, rubbing the back of his head. Once the situation calmed down, Alice look out towards the sea where she saw a dot and transformed her eye's into that of a dragon's so she could see better.
"Where's Bobo? I'm up for another game of poker"
"I think he's in the captain's q-"
"I see an island!" Alice yelled cutting them off by hitting the rail over and over with her hand and then turned her head to face them.
"Stop with the dragon eyes!" Marik yelled.
"Why?"
"Their creepy!"
"Your eyes are creepy!"
"How?"
"They're kind of like that one guy, but there not yellow or have rings in them. What's that guy's name? It start with an 'M' I think," Alice asked putting a finger on her chin.
"Mihawk" Leona answered.
"Yeah, that is his name" Alice cheered.
"How do you know his name when you just started pirating?" Marik asked.
"Well, let's see" Alice said putting a finger on her chin. "I saw him at my home island before the massacre. I was doing some shopping for my mother when I saw him. I don't know why he was there, but I know it wasn't good. It was a month after I ate the Ryu-Ryu no Mi"
An eleven year old Alice walk around the market place doing shopping for her sick mother.
"Here you go Alice. I hope your mother gets will soon." An old lady said handing Alice a bag full of food.
"Thank you!" Alice yelled running out of the shop and into the streets. Alice looked both ways so she wouldn't get in anyone's way .A man passed her by getting her attention. He was caring a large sword, I looked kind of like a cross and had a blade was black. 'Whoa, a black blade. He must be strong to carry a black bladed sword' Alice shock her head snapping out of her thoughts before he turned his head to look at a shop that sold swords. Alice's eyes widen and now knowing who the man was. Alice turned the other way before running off in fear. Even at a young age, Alice feared of having a bounty that she didn't know of. "Sissy, Sissy!" Alice yelled trying to get her older sister's attention. Alex was training in the fort field practicing her swordsmen skills. She was the most talented swordsperson on the island as well as the youngest. Alex toke one more hit on the dummy before wiping the sweat of her forehead and turning around to face her sister.
"What's wrong Alice ?" Alex asked, watching her sister drop the bag and place her hands on her knee to catch her breath.
"There's a bounty hunter in the market place." Alice said in between breaths.
"I was so scared that he was a bounty hunter, I ran home crying to my sister. Humph, he was really a Government dog." Alice finished looking at the island again and seeing that they are closer.
"I can't wait to get off this ship!" Alice cheered spinning around.
"No you're not" Alex said stepping onto the deck with Bobo at her side.
"Why!" Alice wined
"Because, what you did back at port caused you to have a bounty, idiot" Alex claimed while muttering the last part.
"Hey! Do not call me an idiot!" Alice whined while falling onto her back with her arms out.
"Well, it was your fault that you took a Marine ship in plan site with Marines on board. Not just that. You didn't hide your face or hide your devil fruit powers. Now everyone knows what you can do." Bobo explained sitting under the umbrella with Leona.
"No one asked you! You over-sized house cat!" Alice started waving her fists in the air
"Now Onee-san please let me off the ship!" Alice whined before the sound of a cannon went off as everyone's faces turned dead-serious.
"Vice-Admiral! We spotted the rooky Shadow pirates on the stolen Marine ship." The Marine informed Vice-Admiral Smith. "What are you orders sir?"
"What are the names of the pirates?" The Vice-Admiral asked with an emotionless tone.
"T-there is only one name known so far, sir" The marine said trying not to show fear, but failing miserably.
"What is the name?"
"Her name is Alice, she's been giving the name 'Alice the Dragon' on her bounty, sir. What are your orders?"
"Let them have the first strike."
"Marik! Keep the ship going forward! Leona Block any cannon balls form hitting the ship!" Alex ordered preparing for battle. "Alice !" Alex yelled seeing her sister jumping off the rail.
"Don't worry! I got it!" Alice called back pulling out her wings taking flight.
"Alice ! Get back here!" Alex's orders fell on deaf ears for she watching her sister get closer to the Marine ship.
"Vice-Admiral, Alice is heading this way!"
"Stand back" The Admiral ordered coldly.
Alice ran her hand in the water as her nail grew longer. Flipping up to avoided a cannon ball. "Now take this!" Alice said over the ship. "Iron dragon claws!" Alice yelled as three golden-like claws hit the marine ship.
"Take that!" Alice yelled flying back to her ship and put some wind in their sails making the ship sail faster. "Come on! We need to get out of here! There's a Vice-Admiral on that ship!" Alice yelled flapping her wings onto the deck while everyone else hung onto the rails. Expect Bobo, but he did use his claws to grip onto the deck to prevent himself from being launched into the ocean by the sheer force of the wind. Eventually the marine ship was nothing but a speck on the horizon as Shadow Play easily out ran them. They quickly reached the dock due to the momentum of the ship. The momentum was so great that Alice had to slow them down to prevent them from crashing into the docks. Slowly Alice landed on the deck.
"You dumbass!" Alex yelled throwing Alice's head into the deck and sitting of her back pulling on her sister's left wing.
"Ow! Let go! You're pulling on my wing!"
"You're an idiot!"
"Stop pulling on my wing it hurts!"
"Be glad it hurts and not broken you idiot! You're not getting off this ship!"
"You're so mean! Why can't I get off?"
"One: because you have a bounty! Two: you're a fucking idiot and three: we have nothing to hide your face!" Alex said, yelling into Alice's ear and pulling on her cheek.
"I do" Leona said calmly while holding a dark green cloak in her arms.
"Yes!" Alice cheered throwing off her sister by doing a victory pose.
"You're lucky this time!" Alex yelled hitting Alice on the back of the head.
"Owie" Alice winced putting her hands on the back of her head before grabbing the cloak and putting it on.
"Hey Leona, are you a Revolutionary?" Alice questioned as she put on the hood.
"N-no, why do you ask?"
"Just wondering" Alice said walking off the ship with Bobo, because Alex said that the only way she could get off the ship is she had an escort, and going into town to get supplies.
After looking, looking, more looking, buying, walking, looking, asking where to go, looking, helping an old lady with her bags, buying, taking things back to the ship, going back to town, looking, buying, stopping to look at guns, being pulled away be Bobo by the cloak, helping the same old lady cross the busy street, and finally taking the last of the things that they were to get Alice spotted a homeless man drinking beer.
"Hey old man! What'che doing?" Alice asked sitting in front of the man who was maybe in his mid 30's with messy short black hair, a little whatever it's called on his chin, and bright silver eyes. Bobo shook he's head and sat next to Alice.
"What does look like I'am doing?" The man asked annoyed.
"Drinking" Alice said staring at the man. Eventually the man grew irritated at the intense blank stare.
"What?"
"What's your name?"
"Shaun"
"Want to join our crew?"
"Alright, I have nothin to lose" Shaun said as Alice stood up .
"We have a new member!" Alice cheered before a boy ran by with Marines on his tail pulled Alice's hood down. "Look! It's Alice the Dragon!" The boy yelled as the marines turned their attention to Alice now.
"You little brat!" Alice yelled as the Marines ran at her. "Ah, shit! Come on!" Alice yelled grabbing Shaun's forearm pulling out her wings and taking off as Bobo took care of the Marines on his own while grumbling about idiot dragons.
"Ahhhhhh! Put me down!" Shaun screamed, but Alice didn't listen to his request until they reached the ship and placed Shaun on the deck. Alice was perched on the rail until Alex came up and hit her on the head sending her to the deck. Head first.
"What the hell did you do!"
"I did nothing! This boy ran by and pulled down my hood and yelled at my name to the Marines chasing him! I swear!" Alice said holding the back of her head.
"Like I'll believe that!"
"It's true" Shaun said getting up.
"It is?" Alex questioned.
"It is" Shaun answered with a dead-serious look on his face.
"Marik get the ship ready to go!" Alex ordered as Bobo jumped on the ship.
"We got to go!" Bobo roared.
"I know!" Alex yelled back as they begin to set sail.
"Great, the vice-admiral is still following us and you had another run in with the marines." Alex sighed rubbing her temple.
"So, who are you?" Alex questioned.
"I'm a navigator and a former Marine"
"What!"
