I stirred slightly, "Mmm...five more minutes...Rin? Rinny-chan!" I yelled. Ugh. What does a girl have to do to get her best friend's attention these days? My eyes widened before I slapped myself mentally. Doh. You got kidnapped by an anime character and now you're stuck in the anime world. I looked around. It was still dark as ever. There was a window, not that it helped since I was underwater.

"I wonder what time it is...too bad I didn't bring my phone- oh! I still have my watch! Lucky, lucky! Wait...is it even the right time? I don't know how One Piece time works...oh well, still better than nothing." I mumbled to myself. My watch read 3:25am. So...it's the middle of the night if it's right. I quietly sneaked out. Luckily, Law didn't lock it anymore. I walked around, no one was outside so I'm guessing my clock was right.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" asked a voice from behind. I gasped and quickly turned was Law, he was crossing him arms in a carefree manner and had a smirk on his face. "I...just wanted to check if I had the right time..." I explained.

"It's 3:30am." he answered. I looked at my watch again, so it was right. "If you're content now, go back to sleep." he replied. I glared at him while leaning my back on a wall.

"I could say the same to you." I retorted. His smirk dissolved into an annoyed frown. He started walking towards me and I had to use every ounce of pride I had to keep eye contact and not run like crazy back to my room. I'm not a coward, but c'mon people, this is the Surgeon of Death. He slowly put a hand on the wall, next to my face.

"I told you. I won't be tolerant anymore." he whispered. I smirked, "Then why are you?" I asked teasingly. He leaned in slightly, "You don't want me to be?" he teased. I stared at him blankly.

"I don't care, since little things like that won't change the fact that I hate you." I answered bluntly. He chuckled, "My, little lady, hate is a strong word." he mocked. I kept my blank face on. "That's why it's the perfect word for you." I answered calmly.

He was still smirking, "So you hate me?" he asked in amusement. I smiled genuinely, "With all my heart. Forever and always." I answered lovingly. He laughed. Not chuckled, not smirked, he laughed. It was actually pretty hot. And I just did not mentally admit that. He leaned back and crossed his arms again.

"I guess we'll have to change that, now won't we?" he whispered before walking back to his room. I stared at him for a few more seconds before looking at my watch.

"Damn you Law. You wasted fifteen minutes of my beauty sleep. I need that." I sighed. I swore I heard a faint chuckle. I quickly walked back to my room. Since I was alone and it was dark and quiet, my mind replayed the earlier scenario. I held a hand to my face. I guess we'll have to change that, now won't we?

"No, Law. I'm fine with hating you." I mumbled. Now content, I fell asleep. I awoke when I realized my bed was vibrating. I got up and hissed when I realized my entire room was vibrating. I quickly got out of my room to see no one was in the hallway. Were we under attack and they escaped without me? Gee, thanks a lot guys.

"Ah, Alyssa! You're awake!" called out a voice. I turned to see who it was. "Penguin...where is everyone?" I asked. "In the Control Room obviously. We found an island, so we're raising to shore." he explained. I smiled. Shore? You mean somewhere where I can eat delicious food, breathe clean air and buy stuff?

"Oh! Law told me to give you these in case you in run into trouble." he replied, reaching behind his back. I grinned in delight as Penguin handed me my twin katanas. I checked it over, to make sure it was alright. I raised an eyebrow in confusion when I saw a yellow sticky paper attached to it. I took it off and found out it was a note.

To: Alyssa-ya

Don't even think about trying to escape. Because I will hunt you down and kill you.

From, Law

I smiled darkly as I threw the piece of paper into the air. I yanked my katanas out and proceeded to slice the paper into smithereens. "W-Wah...they were moving so fast..." he mumbled. I shrugged.

"When you have hatred, anything is possible." I answered boredly. He raised an eyebrow, so I simply just shrugged. No point in explaining. Explaining is work. I do not enjoy work that does not involve blood. "Alyssa! Alyssa! Law also said to not get in trouble-!"

"I got it!" I yelled back. I quickly ran away from the submarine before Penguin could say any more. I had enough of hearing Law's name for today. Eternity would be nice, but I doubt that would be possible. I screamed in pain as I felt something hard hit my head.

"Listen when someone is talking to you! It's from Law!" he yelled. I turned around and picked it up. It was a small bag that had something hard in it. What was it? A bomb? A blade? Poison? "Meh. Only one way to find out." I opened it, my eyes widening as I gasped. It was beri, and quite a bit too. It's all paper, so why is it hard?

...And a rock. How thoughtful of him. How did he know I wouldn't have money...? Oh right, he found me as a slave. I walked around until I found a clothing store. I've been wearing the same clothes for about a week now, and haven't showered once. After I buy some clothes, I need to go to a bathhouse. Just while I'm in town, because I'm not ready to shower in a submarine filled with men yet. I found a store and walked in, immediately getting hit with cold air conditioning and some faint music playing. Also a faint smell of...something spicy like cinnamon.

"Oh! Hello there, Miss. Welcome to Pert and Perfect. Is this your first time?" asked a perky sale clerk. I nodded as I looked around. Most of the clothing here...was pretty revealing...not that I minded, but they aren't the best for murdering...

"Well, may I help you with looking for something?" she asked. "Yes please...something...comfy and casual. Easy to move and fight in." I answered. She raised an eyebrow when I said fight, but I ignored her.

"Alright, please come this way." she answered. I followed her to a section in the back right. "All the clothing here is very comfy, easy to move in...and er fight in, and very refined." she explained. I said casual. Are you deaf? I hate refined clothing. I forced and smile and thanked her. After she left, I started looking around.

"So...revealing...everything...here." I sighed. I picked out a sky blue strapless shirt that cinched below my bust and had a ribbon that went around my neck. Some white shorts and a silver key necklace. Call me strange, but I love key necklaces.

"Shoes...shoes..." I mumbled to myself. "Miss, need help?" I felt the hairs on my arm stand up. Jeez these sale people just love popping up everywhere, don't they? "Uh...yes. I need some shoes. Preferably something comfortable like gladiators or flats. Something with a flat bottom and won't fall off." Her eyes seemed to gleam.

"Yes, I have something perfect for you." Oh no. I know that gleam. That greedy, greedy gleam. Sale people always get that gleam when they want you to buy something expensive. As I was lost in my thoughts I didn't realize I was being dragged by the salesperson.

"H-Hey!" I protested. She ignored me and kept on dragging until we made it to the shoe section. I resisted the urge to grimace. They were those super high-end, fashion forward, high class shoes you'd expect to see on a World Noble's feet.

"Vola, aren't they beautiful? Only 50,000 beli! It's a bargain!" she announced. My mouth gaped open. I looked at the bag, they were all 1,000 beli bills. There was lot of stacks, maybe about a hundred bills. I held my hand to my hips.

"50,000? That's way too expensive." I scowled. The salesperson looked confused. "They're designer shoes. What do you expect?" she asked questionably. "Then why the hell would I want designer shoes?!" I yelled. The entire store echoed from my voice. The salesperson shook with fear and apologized. I crossed my arms, this is the reason why I hate annoying salesperson.

"T-T-then...what price range...would you...like...?" she stuttered. I thought about it for a while. "A real bargain along with my real requirements." I ordered. She nodded nervously. She didn't dare drag me this time though. She led to a section with shelffuls of shoes.

"H-Here you go, Miss..." I nodded and shooed her away with my hand. She bowed and ran away while crying. Well, so much for being polite. I looked around until I saw something sparkly that caught my eye. I walked towards them and grabbed them. They were gladiator shoes and they were iridescent.

"Beautiful..." I mumbled while searching for the price tag. "28,000. I knew that salesperson was stupid." I muttered. I noticed a sign that said if you spent 30,000 beli or more, you can get 70% off. Oh, so that's why that salesperson was trying to get me to spend more money. I looked at my clothes, should be at least 30,000 beli. I walked to the cashier and paid.

"Hehehe, 10,500 beli, now that's a steal." I snickered, happily swinging my shopping bangs in my hand.

Sorry...this chapter is kind of useless. I promise there'll be action in the next chapter! Anyway, please review, and...stuff. Is it me, or am I getting lazier? I probably am, since I'm a lazy person v Thanks so much! You guys are the best!

P.S Mosquitoes were created from Hell. I've gotten at least ten bites just from sitting down and writing this chapter. Edited on Jan 12, 2013.
