Chapter 9

"This is exhausting! How do women do this shopping thing without ever tiring, Bepo?" Rosaline asked as she let her head fall onto her chest, her eyes closed in her own exhaustion and her feet were aching from all the walking.

They had been doing shopping for hours now and she only managed to get a few things that should last her for quite a while. However, they had to go to many stores to find something that suited her and her criteria.

"I don't know, Rosa-san. I haven't gone shopping for clothing with a lady before so this is all knew to me" Bepo murmured and Rosaline gave him a sympathetic look, knowing the bear was also exhausted from all the activity they endured.

"I'm done for today so what do you say we get something to eat? I still have enough for something to nibble on and something to drink. Besides, I wouldn't want you starving because of all the shopping" Rosaline stated and Bepo's face lit up at the thought of getting something to eat.

Rosaline laughed at him and heard a small growl from her own stomach. She rarely ate but after all the exercise she did, she was famished. Her arms were also starting to hurt from the bags she carried and her feet were screaming at her.

They managed to enter a bar before they both relaxed in a chair at a table in the furthest corner. A bartender was immediately at their table and they placed their order before he nodded and walked away again.

"I wonder what happened to Captain and the others." Bepo suddenly said and Rosaline's eyes widened when she remembered how they lost them when she dragged the bear to the flower store. She let out a sigh and felt her heart drop in her stomach.

She enjoyed being Law-free.

"He's probably chopping up a few people for his sick mind and the others should be packing up the supplies they were ordered to get. I just hope they bought enough food because you all eat a lot. I feel sorry for you that Law had to cook for you" Rosaline shook her head with a sympathetic smile.

"Captain wasn't the only one who cooked, but he was the only one who didn't burn the food. His just didn't taste all that good." Rosaline blinked a few times at the bear and only shook her head. She was aware that the bear didn't like insulting his Captain but he knew Law's food was terrible.

The bartender arrived with their drinks and Bepo was surprised to find that the female in front of him actually drank alcohol. He actually thought that she wasn't the drinking type but she surprised him a lot today and one more surprise was not going to make him any more shocked than he was.

"Oh, Rosa-san, I almost forgot to ask you. Did Captain talk to you about being our musician?" Bepo asked and Rosaline almost chocked on her drink. She coughed a few times before she looked at the bear in surprise.

She didn't expected that.

"No, this is the first I've heard of it. Why would Law want me to be your musician when he likes the quiet time in his infirmary? You're not the party type pirate crew anyway" Rosaline pointed out and Bepo shrugged.

"Captain just mentioned your singing the other day and I heard something about a musician." Bepo explained and Rosaline's brows furrowed. This was new information to her and she didn't anticipate something like this to happen.

"Well, you go tell your Captain that I'm not going to be anyone's musician. I just sing from time to time when I cook. I can't help it, it's a habit my mother learned me" Rosaline murmured the last part of the sentence but Bepo heard it with his advanced hearing.

"I'm sorry that I listened in, but is it true? Can you sing?" The bartender asked as he delivered their food and Rosaline mentally cursed. She looked at the blond-haired male and strangely noted how he had no tattoo on his pale skin.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Rosaline asked and wished she immediately didn't as the last words slipped out of her mouth. She already had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach and she knew if someone pleaded her with their eyes, like the male was currently doing, she was going to be in trouble.

"We had someone that needed to perform tonight but they were killed by the pirates who wanted her to perform. Now, we need to get someone before they destroy this whole place" The bartender replied and Rosaline could already hear herself sing for a group of pirates.

Curse her sympathy.

"And you want me to sing for you… Wouldn't that put me in danger if they want to kill me?" Rosaline asked and raised an eyebrow at how the whole situation sounded. Maybe there was a way out of this after all.

"Only if you're a terrible singer. Please! We'll pay you anything you want!" The bartender begged her and Rosaline averted her eyes from his pleading gaze. She glanced at Bepo who was staring at her while chewing before a thought came up in her mind.

"How much will this irritate the Captain, Bepo?" Rosaline asked as a smirk started to form on her lips and Bepo blinked a few times as he analyzed the question. His nose twitched slightly and Rosaline chuckled knowing what the bear was going to say.

"To no end, Rosa-san"

"You've got yourself a deal, my Blond friend. When is this performance and what do I need to sing for the scum of the sea?" Rosaline asked immediately after Bepo's answer and the bartender smiled widely at her in relief.

"Don't worry about the song as long as you entertain them about two nights from now" The bartender stated and Rosaline grunted. She watched as he bowed in thanks before he left them with their own meals and thoughts once again.

"Captain's not going to be happy, Rosa-san, and weren't you just saying that you didn't want to be a musician?" Bepo asked as his own confusion swirled around in his thoughts. He saw Rosaline smirk as she grabbed her beer and she finished the rest of it in one gulp before letting out a satisfied sigh.

"Oh, anything goes when it irritates your Captain, Bepo. However, I only have one thing I need to get before my performance" Bepo paled and turned blue beneath his eyes when he saw the dark look in her face.

This was not going to be good.

Later that night…

"Hey, Bepo. Do you have an idea where the Inn is where we're staying at?" Rosaline asked as they exited the bar and glanced at the polar bear. He was quiet for a few moments before he nodded and pointed to his right side.

"It should be this way… Are you sure you can walk, Rosa-san? You had a lot to drink" Bepo pointed out a in a concerned tone and Rosaline blinked in surprise at his sudden worry. She chuckled and patted him on his shoulder before she walked on.

"Bepo, it takes more than seven mugs of beer to get me drunk. That wasn't even enough to give me a headache tomorrow morning" Rosaline clarified and the polar bear's eyes widened in shock. He never expected her to be able to handle her alcohol so well.

Rosaline chuckled at his shocked facial expression before she walked in the direction of the Inn. Bepo followed her but he was quiet as they continued. She appreciated the silence and it gave her time to sense out the town.

She didn't think about sensing out the town before but after she was asked to perform for another pirate crew at the bar she knew there was going to be trouble. There was another pirate crew on this island and she silently hoped that it wasn't a rookie.

She already had her hands full with trying to cope with being a pirate that worked under Law and she didn't want to fight any pirates. It was bad enough that she was a pirate but she didn't want to fight for the cause of one.

She was still a marine by heart.

Rosaline's brows twitched slightly when she felt two strong presences in the town and she had a feeling that they were the other pirates. There were a few others but theirs were the strongest and it could only mean trouble.

"Rosaline-chan!" Her eyes widened at a familiar pair of voices and she was snapped out of her haze. She and Bepo came to an abrupt halt when they saw two males run towards them while waving their hands in the air.

"Penguin? Shachi? What are you doing yelling in the streets like that?" Rosaline asked and the two males stopped in front of them while panting. She raised an eyebrow and waited for them to catch their breath before they answered her.

"We're been looking all over for you! Captain's orders. He's not too happy about your disappearance today. Where were you anyway?" Shachi asked as he glanced between the two and noticed the bags they were holding while Bepo wore flowers around his neck.

It was an odd sight.

"We went shopping for clothing and quickly ate something at one of the bars. I needed a new pair of clothing since I keep wearing all of yours" Rosaline replied and saw the two males glance at each other before looking back at Rosaline.

"You don't wear our clothing. Captain gives you his clothes to wear because most of us wear our jumpsuits most of the time" Penguin pointed out and Rosaline's eyes widened at his statement. She glanced down at her black shirt, which had the Heart Pirate's emblem on it, before paling.

"You're kidding! All this time I've been wearing his clothing! I would rather walk around naked!" She exclaimed before realizing what she just said. She flushed while the two males in front of her immediately had nosebleeds.

Rosaline tried to say something to cover up her words but the two males were already unconscious on the ground. She let her shoulders fall in defeat and shook her head at her own smart mouth. She always said the wrong things at the wrong times.

"Bepo, would you mind taking them? My hands are full and I just want to find the Inn as soon as possible" Rosaline grumbled out and the polar bear gave her a sympathetic look before he picked up the two male's unconscious forms, their faces still red.

They walked the rest of the way in silence and the only thing that could be heard was their footsteps all the way to the Inn they stayed at. Rosaline lifted her slumped head as they entered the building and her eyes immediately met a pair of grey angry orbs.

"Where were you two?" Law asked in a low and dangerous tone as he glanced between them. Bepo silently apologized while letting his head fall in guilt but Law was glaring at the red-haired female in front of him.

"Shopping" Rosaline answered and she had a small snap in her voice, but she was too tired to even give him a smart comment. She wanted to bathe and get out of the male's clothes, which angered her to no end.

"What happened to those two? Did you knock them out?" Law asked, his eyes narrowing at the female and she growled at him. A small smirk formed on his lips when he saw her tired eyes fire up immediately and enjoyed her glare.

"As a matter of fact, I didn't! They passed out after having nosebleeds" Rosaline answered back at him and Law blinked a few times with an impassive facial expression. His mind was immediately working out reasons why they would have nosebleeds and if it wasn't the heat, it had to be something perverted.

"Oh, and one more thing" Rosaline drew Law's attention once again before his eyes widened in shock while the few people inside the Inn's entrance exclaimed in shock. Bepo's eyes widened as well, but his Captain was in more shock.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Rosaline stripped herself from the top she wore as well as the dark pants before she pushed the clothing into the male's arms. She glared at him in her naked glory, despite wearing a red bra with matching panties, before she took her shopping bags and went upstairs.

Law stood there in complete shock and his face was a deep crimson color from both embarrassment and rising anger in his system. He forced himself not to look at her almost naked physique as she vanished upstairs and growled deep within his throat.

She had guts and lots of it.

"She's going to be the end of me…" Law let out an exasperated sigh while he shook his head at the female's behavior. He glanced at Bepo and turned towards him while still holding the clothes in his arms.

"Rosa-san did say she would rather walk around naked than wearing your clothes. Luckily, we did shopping today so it won't be necessary" Bepo stated and a vein pulsed out from Law's head in agitation while his eyes darkened.

He now understood why his two subordinates were unconscious in the grip of Bepo's paws and he felt even more irritated by her now than before. He not only had to deal with the fact that she was gone the whole day but he had another problem.

He had to eliminate everyone that saw her practically naked.
