Chapter 13

Usually, when Rosalie got into situations where she didn't quite know what to do, she would walk away or ignore and continue. Either way, she would try to avoid the pain of being in a tense situation especially when it involved someone dangerous.

The Kidd pirates enjoyed themselves in the bar, eating and drinking much more than it would be healthy. Rosalie calmly kept drinking on her own, her thoughts locked behind her blue eyes that never dared to glance next to her.

She could feel the gazes on her body and felt relief behind the hood she wore. She didn't want to know what would happen if they knew what her true identity was. According to her history, Kidd and Law were rivals who didn't see eye to eye at all.

They worked together in a way as they fought alongside on Archipelago with the Celestial Dragon incident that Straw Hat Luffy caused. More than that, she didn't know and briefly tried to remember how they escaped the Pacifista.

Rosalie shrugged, not being able to recall the report that was given in about the supernovas. She merely lifted her mug to swallow down more of the alcohol. She could feel her body was already warm from her previous three mugs but didn't mind the comforting sensation that washed over her.

As she put down her mug, the sound matched Kidd's wooden mug hitting the counter the sound silencing the bar briefly. She could feel his reddish orange eyes on her figure and dared to make eye contact with the male, his purple lips smirking at her in a challenging way.

"Hey, bartender! Another refill…for the both of us" Kidd ordered and Rosalie's brow twitched. What was this male up to? The muscular bartender was quick to comply and served them with refilled mugs, his worried glance not going unnoticed by Rosalie.

"Thank you for the drink" Rosalie told the male, his eyes narrowing onto her after hearing her husky feminine voice. Rosalie could feel everyone's eyes on her once again and wanted to shift due to the discomfort.

"Oh? Looks like we've got ourselves a young lady drinking in our company. There's only one type of woman who would come to a bar. You looking for a good time, Sweatheart?" Kidd asked, the tone of his voice pissing Rosalie off to a point where a vein throbbed out of her head.

Only one type of woman? This guy was messing with the wrong person. All she wanted was to keep drinking until she came up with a simple plan to get her out of her predicament. But no, this guy had to come and screw up her plan.

Rosalie huffed and decided against drinking the drink he gave her. It would only leave a terrible taste in her mouth. "No, I doubt that you'll be able to give me a good time anyway" She told him, a snappy tone in her voice.

Wrong choice of words.

Rosalie knew she angered the male and by the way his purple lips were sneering, brows furrowing and veins pulsating out of his skin, she knew he was livid. She bar was completely quiet, tension forming in the air.

"Do you know who you're talking to, bitch?" Kidd snarled at her and Rosalie gave him a bored look, not amused by his insult. She saw the bartender stood there, pale and not moving. Great, he wasn't going to be much of a help.

"Yeah, you're Eustass 'Captain' Kidd. A notorious rookie worth a lot of money as well as some of your crew mates. Good at killing, not something I'm looking for" Rosalie replied and Kidd gave her a smirk filled with malice.

"Then you should better watch your tongue before you end up dead. I would hate to kill another woman who could've been used as something more useful" Kidd warned in a low tone and Rosalie rolled her eyes at the male.

She let out a sigh as she stood up, pulled out a few beli and placed the money onto the bar counter. She didn't have time to listen to the male's ego which was practically swallowing her up. She was talking all tough because he wasn't intimidating her.

"Thank you for the drinks."

She turned to walk away from the group but was stopped when a gunshot suddenly went off. In front of Rosalie's boot was smoke coming from a small hole in the wooden floor. Kidd had his pistol pulled out while glaring at her, blue eyes glaring back at him.

"I didn't say you're allowed to leave"

"I don't believe I asked your permission" She quickly snapped back at him, watching as his temper rose. It matched his hair perfectly but she also had a short temperament. She wasn't going to back down, not when this male was looking down on her.

"You just don't know when to stop pissing off a guy, do you, bitch? I'm going to screw that hidden face of yours so good you won't be able to recognize yourself ever again" He threatened but Rosalie couldn't be more indifferent.

She knew that he wasn't going to back down and if she stirred him up more it would cause trouble not only for her but also for the townsfolk. She already knew that they feared the pirates and standing up to them would give them a reason to harm the people.

She had to take a step back even if it was against her pride. "Listen, I'm not looking for trouble. I apologize if I offended you. I have business I need to attend to and therefore am leaving" She stated and then went to walk away but another shot went off.

"Next time I won't miss" Kidd warned as another hole in the ground was the result of the gunshot. Now, Rosalie was agitated. What did this guy want? She already apologized but he wasn't budging at all. She turned back to him, noticing that his right-hand man was still enjoying his meal. He was unfazed.

"Alright, what do you want?" She refrained from calling him names and tried her best not to raise her voice. He was making it extremely difficult for her not to hit him or shove his gun where he would find it very uncomfortable.

"I want you to entertain me" His words made her grit her teeth angrily. "I bought you a drink and you've only given me attitude so far to show your gratitude. I want you to entertain me and my crew. Then maybe I'll think about letting you go" He sat back in satisfaction at her deadly expression.

"It's your choice. I can always involve the people of this town, after all they are used to violence." Rosalie clenched her fists by her side and she could feel anger course through her veins. This male… he was despicable.

"You bastard!" His grin widened, her anger snapping. She needed to stay quiet. She knew if she gave into her own anger, she was going to cause a ruckus. However, she couldn't care less at this stage. She was not going to let him step all over her.

"You like causing fear because it makes you feel powerful" Don't say anything more. Don't say anything stupid. "But your bounty is only big because you kill innocent people! After all, it wouldn't rise if it matched your power." Rosalie finished, Kidd giving her a look that made her curse mentally.

Well done, Rosalie. You pissed him off. So much for not wanting to cause trouble. Honestly, can't you push back your pride for once? Rosalie mentally scolded herself as she watched Kidd slam the bar counter, the wood splintering beneath his hands.

"That's it. Your dead" His words were her que to take off before he could catch her. She noticed that his first mate also finished, his hidden eyes on her. Rosalie was quick to run out of the bar, bullets barely missing her figure.

She was in trouble. There was no way she was going to take on an entire pirate crew and come out alive! She needed to get off this island and quickly as well, before the civilians were also put in danger by her bad choices.

"Come back here, you bitch! Don't think you can run from me!" Kidd burst out of the bar, livid, his eyes settling in Rosalie's figure and she scoffed. She took off towards the exit of the town and he followed her, close on her heels.

"Hey, Kidd, don't wreck too much of the town!" Killer called behind him but it was already too late. He let out an irritated sigh and shook his head. "That idiot. Heat, Wire, let's go get the supplies. It won't be long until the Navy arrives" He told his two companions and they nodded.

The crew moved into the opposite direction of the two runners and quickly went to work to get supplies. They knew the Captain would finish up with the female and return to the ship, wanting to leave the island already since he was pissed off.

Rosalie felt her hood want to fall down her back but held it tightly with her one hand. Her other hand was occupied with holding her weapons by her side, not wanting Kidd to steal them with his strange devil's fruit ability.

"There he is! Eustass 'Captain' Kidd!" Voice came from in front of Rosalie and her blue eyes widened. The Navy! They were actually here! "Ready your fire!" The men all pulled out their weapons and Rosalie smirked.

"Light Armament!" She exclaimed and jumped towards the sky. She spun in the air, her and Kidd's eyes making contact. She gave him a confident smirk as she jumped over the Navy soldiers, their guns going off towards the pirate.

She landed on one of the rooftops on one of the buildings and watched as Kidd held out his hand. He couldn't seem more irritated with the marines that appeared in his way. He wanted to kill that damn woman!

"Repel!" The bullets stopped in front of Kidd before they shot towards the marines. The men exclaimed as the bullets impaled them and most of them dropped to the ground. They weren't giving up but they were no match against his devil's fruit powers.

Rosalie's brows furrowed as the bartender's words rung in her thoughts. It was painfully obvious that it was no use in fighting against the pirates. She felt so…helpless… Rosalie's eyes widened when a bullet was sent through her hood, her eyes falling onto the marines.

"I am not your enemy!" Rosalie yelled at them but it was no use. Some of the men managed to get onto the roof, their weapons aimed at her figure. Rosalie held her hood, not wanting to reveal herself despite knowing that Law was a Warlord and she was their alley.

"Then prove it! Take off your hood and we'll reconsider."

Rosalie let out a sigh and bit her bottom lip. She had no choice. She put her hands on her hood before her blue eyes darkened. A wave of haki was released from her body and the marine soldiers all dropped to the ground.

Some of them managed to stay on their feet, but they were no match against her Conqueror's haki. Kidd's eyes were wide and he looked at the female in disbelief. She had Conqueror's haki? Who the hell was this woman?

"Hey, woman! Who the hell are you?!" Kidd yelled towards her and Rosalie turned towards him. Her attention was briefly disturbed and she didn't sense the marine soldier behind her. Her hood was pulled off and she was cut by his sword.

No way… Kidd's eyes were wide at the red hair that escaped the hood, a pair of bright blue eyes clenched tightly in pain. It was her. It was Trafalgar's most prized crew member. The one person he wanted to get his hands on the most.

Rosalie D. Bloodmoore. The Red Menace.

"Repel!" He shot out some of the marine's swords and they pierced the marine soldier that cut Rosalie. He fell into the alleyway behind them while Rosalie winced at the cut she received on her arm. It wasn't that deep but it seemed to be bleeding a lot.

"Damn, I let down my guard." Rosalie muttered under her breath before the tiles on the roof she stood cracked. She glanced up at Kidd who jumped onto the roof, a large grin plastered onto his face that made her grit her teeth.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here. You're a long way from your precious Captain, Red Menace. Where's you little crew to back you up now?" Kidd asked her, a chuckle breaking loose from his throat and Rosalie scoffed.

"You're one to talk. I don't see your crew anywhere either" She pointed out and tore the material of her hood. She tied the material over her cut and pulled it tight to stop the bleeding. It should hold her until she could disinfect it.

"They're busy doing their own business. They should be killing enough marines by now and they're probably having more fun. You really are a pain stealing my kill." Kidd told the female in a disapproving tone and Rosalie glared at him.

"Oh, sorry for ruining your fun, sick bastard! If you hadn't chased me then you would've killed more than enough and I wouldn't have been injured! I guess we're even now. We're both at a loss" Rosalie said and let out a sigh.

"You're wrong about one thing. I'm not at a loss since you're here" Rosalie didn't like the look he was giving her. "You're coming with me, Red Menace" He stated and Rosalie gave him a blank look before she burst out laughing.

"Like hell I will! Sorry, Buddy, but I'm already part of a crew and I'm not going anywhere with another psychopath." There was no way she was going with this male. She would find another way to get to where she needed to.

"That wasn't a suggestion, Sweetheart. I'm telling you that you're coming with me. You don't have a choice in the matter. Now, we can do this the easy or the fun way" Kidd gave her a devilish smirk as he brought his hand up, the weapons beneath his feet vibrating.

"Go to hell"

Rosalie barely dodged the weapons that were sent her way and growled. She landed on another roof and her hand immediately rested on the hilt of her sword. She smirked as a thought crossed her mind and she pulled out her sword.

She threw her sword towards him and Kidd laughed. "Now you're just mocking me! You should know that no weapon can touch me!" He yelled, his eyes shining with confidence. He held out his hand, ready to activate his devil's fruit powers.

"I wouldn't be sure about that." She said and Kidd's eyes widened when he sensed the sea prism in the sword. He was barely able to dodge the attack, the sword cutting his cheek as a result. He looked back at Rosalie as she jumped over him, catching her sword at her quick speed.

"You sneaky little… You want to play dirty? Fine! Let's have it your way!" Kidd charged at her and Rosalie managed to avoid the weapons coming her way while holding her own strapped to her waist. She was much faster than he was and she was losing him.

Great! He was all talk after all!

A piercing scream reached her ears and she stopped dead in her tracks, dread washing over her. No, please don't tell me… She turned to face Kidd who had a murderous smirk plastered on his facial features, people laying on the ground after being pierced by the navy swords.

"No… How could you?! They were innocent people! They had nothing to do with this!" Rosalie yelled angrily at the male but he merely laughed. Rosalie felt her anger boil within her veins and her hand reached instinctively towards her dagger.

"I told you that you're coming with me and I don't care how I get you on my ship. I'll kill each and every one of these worms with my bare hands. I don't care to have blood on my hands to get what I want" Kidd stated and watched in amusement as Rosalie growled dangerously at him.

"You're going to regret messing with me" Rosalie snarled at him and Kidd watched as her blue eyes darkened drastically. He could feel the hair on the back of his neck stand up and licked his lips. She was quite the sight when she was angry.

"Speed Armament!" Rosalie appeared in front of the male, his eyes widening at her speed and was barely able to block her assault. He managed to block her dagger's blade with his metal arm but the force pushed him back.

Rosalie sheathed her dagger and pulled back her fist, her armament haki covering the skin. She punched him hard in his abdomen, sending him flying through a building. She breathed heavy and held her bleeding arm, cursing at the bleeding wound.

She was losing a lot of blood.

Rosalie's eyes snapped up and she jumped back as she dodged metal flying towards her. She activated her speed armament once again and concentrated on the flying objects. It was an irritating ability he had and it made things difficult to get closer to him.

She was grabbed behind and immediately went to strike the male, but he grabbed her elbow. He smirked at her and slammed his knee into her back making her gasp for air. He then grabbed her face and slammed it into the ground as he pushed her down.

"This is much better. A woman should be underneath me, screaming my name. Then again, I love breaking them piece by piece until there is nothing left" He whispered in her ear and Rosalie growled angrily at him.

"Get off!"

Kidd was pushed off by the force of her haki and his brows furrowed. She was starting to become a pest with her haki. He already noticed that she had a large amount of haki and she could control it to an unnatural extend.

Rosalie fell onto one knee and held her sore arm. She started to feel dizzy but never let the brightness in her eyes fade as she glared at the male. He gave her an agitated look and didn't make any move to attack her.

"I enjoyed playing with you but now you're just being stubborn. I don't want a dead Red Menace on my ship. How the hell am I going to break you then?" He asked and Rosalie snorted as she stood up, her kegs feeling much less stable than she hoped they would.

There was nothing she could do now. She was in a pretty hopeless situation where she either passed out before Kidd took her in or she went with the male. She had an idea that he wanted her to join him but she was not going to do that.

On the other hand, she could use him. Their base was South East from here and it was where she needed to go. If she travelled with them until she reached her destination things would turn out easier but then again, what would she get herself into?

Law…

"Fine, I'll go with you" Rosalie agreed and Kidd blinked in surprise. "I'll travel with you until I reach my destination. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not joining you. My Captain stays Law" Kidd growled at the name and then smirked.

"We'll see how long you'll be able to stay sane, Red Menace. When I'm done with you, you'll never even think about that weakling ever again." You'll be mine and mine alone. Kidd thought and Rosalie chuckled in amusement.

"I'd like to see you try"
