Luvrainluv: He'll remember, just not right now. Haha, yeah, Rin is quite the magnet for trouble and Killer wasn't too happy to have to tell Kid that, but it won't turn out the way you think. Or, maybe it will. I don't know, you usually predict things most don't.
desirae668: That is simply because of the sudden appearance of them all, the number, and the shackles that were forced onto her. That will be explained in this chapter. Kid's reaction will be as expected, though the chapter won't end the way you'd expect XD I"m sorry if you don't like it, but I like how it turned out.
Kiteria: Fair warning to all of you, this chapter is probably not going to make any sense and will probably seem pointless, but I promise you, it has a point. A very BIG point. Read and review!
Trinity tried to call on her spirits, but every time she tried she felt a small zap of electricity shoot through her body and felt herself grow weaker the more she tried.
"Put me down you bastard!"
She shouted at the marine carrying her like a sack of potatoes on his shoulder and was promptly ignored as he ran up the gangplank leading onto a marine ship and was carried below before being roughly thrown into a cell.
"Oi, watch it you fucking bastard! Wait til I get out of here, I'm going to enjoy letting my spirits rip your fucking throat out before I disembowel you and make the rest of your fucking crew watch as I rip your limbs from your body and shove them up your ass!"
Trinity seethed angrily and smirked when she saw the marine that had thrown her into the cell pale considerably before being pushed away by another marine. Trinity glared up at the man and took in his features. He was a tall, tanned, broad-chested, muscular old man with a beard and had a scar on his left eye. His eyes were blue and his hair was gray. He was wearing a grayish-white suit with a light blue tie and dark blue button up shirt underneath. He had his arms crossed and his marine coat was hanging off his shoulders.
"Such a potty mouth for one so young."
He said and Trinity simply narrowed her eyes at him. She cussed normally, but having been a part of Kid's crew for so long, some of his mannerisms had started to rub off on her, his colorful language being one of them.
"What do you expect me to do, piss rainbows? I was kidnapped by marines and I'm a pirate. If you want to see me thank you or some shit like that then you're out of luck."
Trinity said bluntly and didn't miss the tick mark that appeared on the older man's forehead before he suddenly hit her on top of her head.
"Watch your mouth!"
He shouted and Trinity blinked up at him in surprise, mainly for the fact he hadn't hit her all that hard. Like he hadn't meant for it to hurt, so much as to warn her that he would hit harder if she didn't do as he said.
"I can't, its attached to my face."
Was the smart-ass remark Trinity offered the gray haired marine and cringed when he hit her again, this time harder and she felt a bump forming on the top of her head and wanted to try and soothe it, but her hands were still shackled behind her back.
"Don't be such a smartass you brat!"
The man yelled at her and Trinity glared up at him, but couldn't help but not feel any animosity towards the man. Despite him having hit her, she didn't feel like he was bad, even though he was a marine.
"Vice-Admiral Garp, don't you think you should stop fooling around and start the interrogations?"
The marine that had thrown Trinity in the cell asked from behind the older man now known as Garp and Trinity didn't hesitate to send a glare his way and smirked when she saw him shrink back behind Garp's back, but blinked in surprise when Garp suddenly started laughing loudly.
"I believe this young lady will be quite interesting."
He said as he sat down across from her like it was the most natural thing in the world to sit in the dingy cells on a marine ship in front of a wanted pirate.
"Now, why don't we start with your name?"
Garp asked, finally having stopped laughing and his face suddenly turning serious and Trinity suddenly didn't think he wasn't such a threat.
Kid wasn't upset. He wasn't mad. Hell, he wasn't even pissed. No, none of those words could accurately describe how the red-haired Supernova felt the moment Killer had finished telling him what happened to Trinity. No, Kid wasn't any of those words. Kid was livid. How dare the marines kidnap his musician and think they'd be able to get away with it.
"Killer, tell the crew to raise anchor and keep an eye out for any marine ships they see."
Kid ordered through clenched teeth and Killer didn't say a word in response as he left his captain's room and went to do as he was told. Kid glared at his desk after his first mate had left. He couldn't believe Trinity had been kidnapped, especially since she'd been with Killer. He was pissed at his first mate for not being able to prevent Trinity from being taken, but he also understood that the marines didn't make it easy for the blonde and knew his friend enough to know that he would have done everything he possible could to try to get to Trinity. The thing Kid didn't know was why the marines had kidnapped her and not Killer since he had a higher bounty. The fact he didn't know and that anything could happen to Trinity in the time she was on a marine ship pissed Kid off even more and he roughly pushed his chair back as he got to his feet, grabbed his coat and decided to head up onto the deck. He wouldn't be able to stay in his room or he'd keep thinking of all the things that could happen and more until he pissed himself off more than he already was. He wanted to kill the marine that dared to take his musician from him and he planned to do just that once he caught up to them. They had just better hope she was in the same condition he'd seen her in last or so help him he was going to go on a killing spree; well, a bigger killing spree than what he had planned.
Trinity blankly stared at the marine in front of her as he took the shackles off her and let them fall to the floor between them.
"You are aware I could kill you in the blink of an eye right?"
She asked as she moved to sit cross-legged like he was and rubbed her wrists from where the shackles had started to rub her raw.
"You could, but then you'd have an entire ship of angry marines after you."
He said with a smile and Trinity wondered just what kind of marine was so carefree.
"What the fuck were those shackles made of anyways? Seastone has no effect on me so it couldn't be that."
Trinity said and cursed under her breath when Garp suddenly punched her on top of her head again.
"Stop using such crude language!"
He snapped and Trinity simply glared at the old marine as she rubbed her head. For such an old man, he sure hit hard.
"Bu you're right, they weren't seastone. The marines you killed that made the marines give you your bounty had weapons infused with seastone so we knew it wouldn't do anything to you, meaning your power wasn't from a devil fruit. We had our researchers search for a way to constrict magic properties that weren't like devil fruit abilities and those were what they came up with."
Garp said, waving a hand towards the shackles lying seemingly harmless on the ground and Trinity looked from them to Garp not fully understanding.
"Obsidian."
Garp finally said, answering her question and Trinity frowned at the fact the marines had found a way to take her powers from her. She'd never experienced something like that before and to be honest, it frightened her that they had such knowledge. Even she didn't know Obsidian could do that to her, that would have been something her sister would have known.
"So what do the marines want with me? If you wanted a bounty you would have gone after Nii-Killer, not me."
Trinity said and noticed Garp smile at her comment.
"That's true and you're right that we weren't after a bounty. It would seem that the higher ups have taken quite a liking to you and your unique...power."
Garp explained.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is your power?"
He asked and Trinity blinked at the rather blunt question.
"You can't honestly expect me to answer that. You're my enemy, why the hel-heck would I tell you that?"
Trinity asked, quickly curving her language when she saw Garp move to hit her again when she almost cussed. She didn't want to get hit again.
"Bwahahaha, I guess you're right. You have no reason to tell me."
He said with a smile and Trinity once again had to wonder just what kind of marine would be so at ease with a pirate that could kill them with just a flick of the wrist and not think twice about it.
"My captain won't be happy you guys kidnapped me."
Trinity said after a while and noticed the somber look that made its way onto Garp's face.
"It wasn't my idea to take you in the first place. Which is why I honestly couldn't care less what happens, I told them not to do it. It's not my fault they didn't listen."
He said as he crossed his arms and Trinity stared at the gray-haired marine in a mix of confusion and surprise.
"So, if you don't care, why not just let me go?"
Trinity asked and saw Garp frown.
"I wouldn't be much of a marine if I did that now would I?"
He asked and Trinity sighed.
"No, I suppose not."
She said as she leaned back against the wall of the cell she'd been thrown into. Even with the shackles off, the cell door wide open, and no guards posted, she knew there would be no point in her trying to get away because Garp's simple statement made it clear to her that he wouldn't just let her go.
"You do realize that once my captain catches up to us he'll turn this entire ship into a bloodbath right?"
Trinity asked and the only response she got from Garp was him sticking his pinkie up his nose and shrugging his shoulders.
"Like I said, not my fault."
He said, repeated what he'd previously said and Trinity sighed before resigning herself to just waiting for the events to unfurl.
Seconds ticked by and turned into minutes, then hours and eventually Trinity's boredom got the better of her and she stared a conversation with Garp again. She was surprised that he willingly talked about himself like they were old friends instead of enemies and had learned he had two grandsons, Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace. She remembered Reina telling her about Ace's death while she'd told her everything else about the world she'd been pulled into and how he'd been brought back to life. She had also read papers of when Ace had made his grand reappearance in the world and how the World Government had gone nuts trying to understand how he was still alive. Trough their conversation, Trinity decided that Garp really wasn't a bad guy or even someone she'd consider an enemy. He believed in his own version of justice and pretty much did whatever he wanted, the fact he had released her from her shackles and had told her he didn't care what happened told her that much and she decided to try and convince Kid not to kill him once he caught up to them.
"So, are you going to tell me anything about yourself?"
Garp asked after having finished telling her of when he had heard of Ace's reappearance to the world. Trinity contemplated it and decided it couldn't hurt to tell him a little bit.
"My name's Trinity Bonney and I'm a witch that can control astral spirits and give them a form. It's not a devil fruit, I was born with the ability."
She informed him and watched as his eyes widened just slightly at the information before he suddenly laughed.
"Bwhahaha, that certainly is something. Who would have thought Jewelry had a sister?"
He asked and Trinity smiled slightly before deciding to correct him.
"We're not actually related, and neither are Killer and I. I just consider them my family and them me."
She told him and didn't miss the shocked look on his face as he stared at her before laughing again.
"Well you certainly are one interesting young lady."
He said and Trinity found herself smiling at his comment and was about to say the same back to him when the sound of cannon fire had both of them getting to their feet and heading over to the window to see Kid had finally caught up to them.
"It would seem that our time together has been cut short."
Garp said and Trinity turned away from the window and the sight of her crew firing cannonballs at them to see Garp frowning slightly.
"I'm sure we'll see each other again, though hopefully under better circumstances."
She said and received a smile in response before Garp turned on his heel and started walking out of the cell.
"You coming?"
He asked and Trinity looked at him confused until he clarified.
"You're captain is going to be looking for you, no need to make him wait."
He said and Trinity shook her head in disbelief at the old marine before following him up the stairs and onto the deck of the ship only to walk out into chaos. She could see her crew fighting the marines on deck and honestly wasn't too surprised when her prediction of a bloodbath had come true.
"You're not really just going to let me walk away are you? You are a marine and I'm a pirate afterall."
Trinity asked and looked up at Garp in time to hear him sigh.
"No, I suppose not. Just tell your captain to sail straight and you'll be fine. I have to keep up appearances, we are enemies afterall."
He said with a smile and Trinity looked at him confused, not really understanding what he meant, but didn't have time to think on it any further when Killer suddenly landed at her side.
"Rin, you're okay!"
He said and Trinity was going to say something when the blonde suddenly hugged her.
"I suggest you get going now before they call for backup."
Garp said to the duo, making Killer tense and Trinity smile at the gray-haired marine.
"We will, thanks Garp."
Trinity said as she grabbed Killer's arm and started leading him back towards their ship, much to the masked blonde's confusion, but she'd explain later. For now they needed to go before the few remaining marines really did call for backup. Garp didn't seem to actually want to cause trouble with Kid, but that didn't mean the other marines felt the same way.
"Oi, Trinity!"
Trinity paused at the sound of her name and turned back to look at Garp to see him smiling at her.
"Tell my grandsons I'll visit them soon!"
He called to her and she smiled back at him before nodding and saying she would, then turned and dragged Killer back onto the deck of Kid's ship and nearly running into the infuriated red-head himself.
"Wha-Rin?"
He asked in disbelief and Trinity smiled nervously up at him.
"Haha, I'm back."
She said lamely and could see confusion on Kid's face and decided now would be the best time to get them out of here.
"Killer, we should really get going before they call backup. Garp said to sail straight and we'd be fine."
She told her brother and Kid finally snapped out of his confused daze.
"You want to listen to what a marine told you? How the hell do you know he won't purposely shoot us down!?"
He snarled, still upset at her having been kidnapped, but Trinity simply leveled him with an even gaze that made him falter for a second, though what she said had him calming down completely.
"Because I just do, trust me Kid."
She said and saw him hesitate for a few seconds before turning and barking out orders to set sail and in a matter of seconds they were sailing away from the marine ship and despite having cannonballs flying at them via being thrown by Garp himself to keep up appearances, none of them were actually aimed to hit.
Once they were a safe distance away and the marine ship was out of sight, Kid turned on Trinity, who had had dragged to his room, and demanded to know why the hell she had told them to listen to a marine. Though, instead of giving him the answer he'd expected, Trinity leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks Kid."
She said as she stepped back and walked out of his room, missing the blush that made its way onto Kid's face as he fell back into the chair at his desk once she was out of the room.
Kiteria: I am aware this chapter was rather...odd and probably made no sense whatsoever, but I have a reason for it and I just felt like writing it so I did. It holds purpose not only for Kid and Trinity, but also for Luffy and the others and what will happen later on in the story. If you didn't like it, then I'm sorry, but this is after all my fanfiction and I can write whatever I want. I could have Killer wear a dress, Kid wear a panda suit, the marines constantly speak in song, and the One Piece be a golden teddy bear if I wanted.
