Hello, next chapter, just some talks :) I hope you'll enjoy!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As they said, the whole evening they spent in nearby bar. Kidd joined their fun not really complaining. Both crews enjoyed their time dancing with local girls and drinking. Apart from heavy drinking and being loud they behaved surprisingly well, not fighting each other.

"You don't drink?" Law asked lifting his glass filled with rum. He was sitting at table in the corner with Patt. Most his crewmembers paid no attention to them.

"No my head reacts bad at even the least amount of liquor…" she scowled at some memories but fast she put on her neutral mask again "by the way, do you see that freckled girl? She is staring at you for over 20 minutes… almost without a break." She snorted quietly. Law chocked lightly on his drink and started muffling his cough but failed. Patt leaned closer to him and started patting his back "You're alright?"

"yeah, yeah I'm fine…" he didn't look at the girl but to his glass "So what? If she wants and does it unnoticeable I don't care."

"Well, it's no so unnoticeable if I saw that. You didn't even spare her a glance. She is quite pretty I would say…"

"Who are you? Matchmaker?"

"What? No! B-but when I see your people dancing and having fun with pretty girls while you are sitting here with me…"

"Pretty girls? Well I saw plenty of those but since today I've met just the one beautiful which caught my full attention."

"Don't say?!" she almost jumped off her booth " Well I guess that you need to be brave to hit on her?" she beamed at his confession

"Indeed" he agreed content with her reaction.

"Moreover she is quite passive one. If you oppose her she may be very rebellious. Believe me I know what I'm talking about. Once I met her wrath personally…" He nodded but her last sentence made him stop. "What is she talking about?" He thought and looked at her puzzled

"She thought that I was a "rival for Luffy's heart" or something, oh yeah I forgot to warn you, you may have a tough opponent who entirely steals her attention- Luffy I mean."

"What?!" he asked very, very confused.

"But don't worry, just between us, he isn't interested in her. But she doesn't see it." She shook her head with a concern on her face. "I'm almost sorry for her, I'm saying almost because I don't like that arrogant woman… but if you do I wish you luck" she held her thumb up in encouragement.

Law was staring at her agape "Patt-ya who are you talking about?"

She blinked at his question "Hm… isn't that obvious? I mean Boa Hancock. The most beautiful woman on the whole world."

Law leaned in so he put his elbows on table and openly facepalmed himself and sighed. "I didn't refer to her. She may be self-styled beauty but not for me."

"Wha-? Now I don't get you at all…" Patt frowned deeply "How couldn't you consider her as living beauty? All men do…." She scratched her head

"You don't know a lot about men do you?" it wasn't fully a question. Law made a bored expression which said "I-know-you too-well-Patt" she huffed and sheepishly played with her glass

"Weeell… I know something." He looked at her expectantly. "There are two types in general. First: They usually are blunt, brutal and very prideful. They think that they are the strongest one in the world and act like a big kids… They cannot judge the danger because of that. They love to give orders, and second: they are henpecked and cowards"

"So which one am I?"

"I guess that you are somewhere in the middle…."

"So there is a third type as well?" he lifted a brow with knowingly smile plastered on his face

"Urgh… I don't know…"

"So don't generalize, I'm certainly not the coward…"

"Ha, so it stung your pride?" she pointed victoriously "Well actually forget it. If it comes to women they all are the same…"

"…"

"they require from them to be perfect, slim and fit, well-groomed and beauty. Even personality isn't so important. At least those guys at bars we met during our adventures didn't care. Nami and Robin usually have a hard time…" she scoffed at thought "they stick to them obtrusively…"

"Aren't we jelaous?' Law smirked openly and looked at her. His expression left her off balance because she huffed and stuttered harshly

"W-what?! Me?! No! Of course not. " she blushed slightly, she felt embarrass that something so trivial had so much effect on her. "Maybe a little…" she cleared her throat "but I'm more worried than jealous. I see those guys, Law and I know that girls can take care of themselves perfectly but still I have my daggers ready to slaughter them in case…." She gritted teeth and narrowed eyes "they are disgusting…. And I'm backup just in case…." She smiled teasingly " how do you think I got all those ugly scars from?" she smiled even wider taking a close look in his face. She indeed had her body covered in scars. Her abdomen, arms, even forehead were decorated with them.

"Ugly? I wouldn't say that. They are pretty impressive and shows your story in some way." He sip on his drink calmly "Moreover men from bars you refer to aren't good example of men who are worth any attention." He added just above the whisper.

She blinked astonished but ignored the last statement. "Oh you are saying that as a doctor? Well you treated one of my wounds after the great war that scared so don't excuse yourself." she retorted crossing her arms

"Oh, I didn't know that bothers you so much, moreover I did what I could because that wound would scar either way. And I'm saying that as a man not doctor…" he clarified.

"Oh so cuuute…." They both twitched at the voice and looked in direction of its source. It was that freckled girl from earlier now standing at their table "may I join you?" she asked but not waiting for permission she sat on empty chair. "I hope I didn't interrupt you? No? Great!" she lightly clapped her hands, she was quite talkative one. She gazed at Patt and then turned toward Law.

"So you really are pirates? Oh, it's so exciting!"

"Do you know who are you talking to?" Law started to lose his patience. When he glanced at Patt he saw her expression blank, the freckled girl ignored her completely.

"Me? Of course you are Trafalgar Law, Captain of Heart Pirates" he twitched at her high-pitched voice "great, shout louder, bring more attention to us wench…" he thought bitterly clutching his bridge of nose. "I saw you bounty poster!" she exclaimed.

"some kind of psychofan?!" he gritted his teeth at the thought

"Oh, I guess you know a lot of interesting facts" Patt joined " Would you be so kind to share some of your island with us? We are all new here." The girl looked at Patt with discontent and turned back to Law. Not looking at her she quietly hissed

"I'm busy right now don't you see? Go entertain someone else." She answered rudely.

"Didn't she recognize Patt, or is she so stupid,either way she has a death wish…" Law glimpse at Patt. Her face was hidden beneath cascades of curly hair but he knew her expression. She caught a sharp knife from table and spinning it skillfully between her fingers, slammed it into table which attracted full attention of freckled one to her. Her eyes widened with fear.

"You were right girl, we ALL are pirates" she said with lowered head. Then she leaned in toward unwanted guest with almost kind smile but her eyes clearly said that she wasn't in the mood. "and we value information pretty high. I'm sure Law would be grateful if you tell us something about your home, am I right, Law?" she looked at him expectantly. He blinked while looking staright into her determined eyes. He could swear there was an killing intent but she restrained herself. He needed to play the game..

"Yes, obviously so Miss…"

"Renvia…"

"Would you be so kind to give us a helping hand and tell us something which may affect our stay here?" he asked politely but behind his appearance you could tell there was a hidden threat

"Oh, um… sure." She looked at her knees and gulped slightly." It's not so big island, ehm… most of men from here work as a fishers but some of them works under marines as well." Heads of Law and Patt snapped toward the girl "we have a small marines base as well" when she lifted eyes she noticed expecting eyes of her listeners "I- it's on the east part of island , away from village…"

"Have you ever heard of Straw Hats?" Patt enquired

"Um, yeah I heard about them…"

"Do you have any information on them?" she pushed further.

"I- I don't know, I've never met them but maybe you ask Dunn he is a former marine, he may know something…" she blurted at sight of Patt face, it was intimidating and disturbing

"Why someone who was a marine would help pirates?" she asked lifting her brow

"Oh, he is just an old drunken man who likes rumours very much." There, out of nowhere appeared another woman, much older than freckled interloper. She put her elbow on Renvia's shoulder casually and leaned in closer to two confused pirates. "He's our "informator" if you want know something stinky about your reality you know where to go." She smiled kindly "Did this little one disturb you? I'm really sorry for her, she has a few bad habits."

"Oi stop this, you are the one who disturb anyone." She huffed and the older woman caught her plait and yanked toward bar "ow this hurts!"

"You shouldn't be here sis, if parents know you will be grounded again, and I'll take care of that, What did you think interrupting their date?!"

"D-date?!" Two confused pirates could hear that little quarrel from the distance. Patt almost choked and averting her gaze she watched a certain freckled girl being dragged toward kitchen. Then she smiled and looked at Law warily.

"I see you 've got the same problem with opposite sex as Nami…" she smirked mockingly and Law glared at her "you attract dumbasses" she giggled.

"But it's you who I'm dating…" he teased back and it was his time to smirk victoriously

"Oh, shut up!" she blushed heavily "She's such a child sometimes" he grinned even wider.
