Chapter 3

Enter: The She-Demon

Not more than an hour after Luffy and Nami's talk, a marine ship, only a couple hours of casual sailing away, was patrolling that part of the sea, unaware that a pirate ship was close by. The ship was like any other marine ship, except for the the symbol on its sail. On it was a creepy looking grey-faced, tall skull like picture with devil-like wings drawn from the back of it's head. This was the mark of one of the most feared group marines on the sea. The unofficially named: Demon Unit. It's captain was known as Aura D. Lilia a.k.a. The She-Demon.

"Captain!" called one of the ship marines from one of the ship's rooms. She was a young girl maybe only a year older than Luffy and just as tall. "Captain, urgent news!"

"What is, Shauna?" asked her commanding officer, who she was running towards. Captain Aura D. Lilia, the strongest female marine. She was beautiful, strong, courageous, and just about the ultimate woman and the inspiration to every little girl and woman in the world. The captain diligently, with her arms folded and her face blank, scanned as far as her eyes could see to look for pirates.

"O-one of our scouts..." this was some heavy news she was about to give.

"Yes?"

"He… spotted the mark of the Strawhat pirates."

Lilia's eyes widened. "Y-you're serious!?"

The female marine, Shauna, nodded. "Yes. There is no mistake."

Lilia smirked. "So… my son and I will reunite at last… good."

"So we've finally found Luffy, huh?" The captain and Shauna glanced to see a teenage boy about Shauna's age walking towards them. His marines jacket was unbuttoned and his hair was pointing in every direction.

"Ren…" Shauna groaned. "You just got up didn't you. You're so unprofessional."

"Oh lighten up, sis" scoffed Ren. "I'm up now, aren't I?"

"A good marine should be up at the crack of dawn." Shauna glanced at the captain. "Right, captain?"

Captain Lilia didn't seem to hear her.

"Captain?"

"What..." Lilia said offhandedly. "Oh… yes... Ren is dumb… yeah…"

"Hey!" screamed Ren.

"While I agree Ren is dumb" said Shauna. "That's not exactly what I said."

"What?" said the captain breaking her thoughts. "Oh sorry I was distracted."

"So it's true that luffy has been spotted?" asked Ren.

"Yes." answered Shauna. "I just got the report. Captain what are we going to do?"

"Isn't it obvious?" asked the captain with a serious tone of voice. 'We're going to-"

"Captain!" shouted one of the lower officers.

"WHAT!?" the captain snapped.

The officer flinched. "A-a pirate ship has been spotted."

"Seriously!? Now!?"

"Y-yes ma'am!" he replied meekly.

"Ugh." groaned the captain.

"Captain, we just can't ignore a pirate crew" reminded Shauna.

"Don't be such a stick in the mud, sis" said Ren. "We can ignore one little pirate-"

In the distance was the sounds of multiple loud cheers and cries of men coming annoyingly closer. When the three turned to the direction of the voices they saw a faint, but identifiable humongous battleship that outsized their little marine ship by a thousand feet creeping closer.

"What was that about a little pirate what?" Shauna asked teasingly.

"Nevermind" said Ren dejectedly. "We definitely can not ignore them."

"We don't have time for this." captain Lilia muttered bitterly.

"You know it's just our luck that a pirate crew finally works up the nerve to face just when we finally find Luffy." said Ren almost humorously.

"Do you think they even know who they're dealing with?" asked Shauna.

"Maybe not." answered Ren. "They're ship is so big they might not have seen the insignia on the sail and if they did notice they probably think that the numbers alone will help them win."

"HA!" laughed Shauna with an evil grin. "If numbers is all they have then they're in for a bitter awakening, right captain… captain?"

No reply.

Shauna turned to face the captain, and then flinch at the sight. Her captain had a dangerously dark aura around her. "Um, captain…?"

Ignoring her, the captain said. "I'll be back in a minute." with that she jumped so high she easily reached the top of the ship. Subsequently a big bearded man, presumably the captain, stepped forward to threaten them, but was cut short by the flying fist of Captain Lilia. The hit was so brutal that it it broke the man's face leaving him with a horribly disfigured and broken nose that was bleed puddles, missing teeth, and probably a concussion. He fell backwards and lay unconscious.

"Captain!" the pirate crew yelled.

Ren and Shauna cringed at the sight. "Brutal" they both said in unison.

"You b****!" shouted one of the pirates. He was big and muscular. "How dare you sucker punch our captain! I'll kill you!" the pirate charged at her

"Poor idiot." said Ren sympathetically. He and Shauna had strong eyes so they could see the fight despite it being so high up.

Captain Lilia swatted the pirate like a fly with the back of her arm. "Who's next?" she asked dangerously. Every member on the deck charged at her with a vengeance. An army vs a woman. How could they lose?

"You think they stand a chance?" asked Ren.

"Nope." stated Shauna.

"Me neither."

Lilia charged at them like a rocket. She ran down anyone in her way and the ones arounder were blown off the ship by the power of the momentum alone. The ones she ran over looked like a horse had stomped on them.

"It's raining pirates." Shauna groaned.

"We don't have nearly enough cuffs for all these guys." said Ren disappointed. "Hey men! Fish out the pirates with the nets we'll figure out something."

"I doubt she'll need her devil fruit power in this fight." said Shauna as she heard the screams of pirates begging for mercy, but still getting brutally beaten. If she were a normal girl she'd probably be covering her ears and wishing for it to stop.

"Yeah." Ren agreed. "But that might be a good thing. At least they don't have to deal with that hell."

a little while passed and all the pirates were defeated, tied up, and were left on their anchored ship to be picked up by a bigger ship from the marines.

"I can't believe it took over an hour to get those pirates beaten and tied up." said Captain Lilia bitterly.

"It might've gone quicker if you hadn't knocked so many of them off that ship." said Shauna in a scolding fashion.

"What was that, Shauna dear?" The captain said in a tone of voice that would make grown men wet themselves and glared at her demonically.

"Nothing captain." Shauna knew that there were some fight you just can't win.

"Shauna, I've told you both to call me Aunt Lily." said Captain Lilia. "Like you two did when you were little kids."

"I can't do that captain." Shauna stated. "You're my captain. It wouldn't be proper."

"You're my niece how can it not be proper?" asked Lilia.

"I don't mind calling you Aunt Lily, Captain." Ren spoke up. "But sis thinks since we're twins whatever I do reflects on her."

"Well it does!" said Shauna. "Ever since we were kids people have assumed since you're a slob, I'd be one too."

"I'm not a slob" Ren retorted. "I'm hygienically challenged."

Shauna didn't even bother retorting. "Anyway… Captain Lilia it was really awesome how you took down all those pirates single handedly." Shauna smiled at her in admiration.

"Yeah it will never stop surprising me how strong you are, Aunt Lily" agreed Ren. Shauna smacked him over the head for saying "Aunt Lily".

"But we might've lost track of Luffy…" Captain Lily said disappointingly.

"Don't worry, Captain Lilia" Shana assured. "I had the scout keep track of the strawhats and I told him to send reports every half hour."

"That's great!" Lilia said slightly more cheerful than usual. "You're the best Shauna."

"Captain's pet" Ren coughed. Shauna smacked him over the head.

"Luffy…" Lilia started dreamily. "I'll see you soon. You and I need to have a talk."

Ren and Shauna stared at her. The aura of determination around her was even stronger than it usually is.

"Luffy's a dead man." whispered Ren.

"Oh shut it, he is not." retorted Shauna.

"Are you serious?" asked Ren in surprise. "Have you not met the woman. Once she gets her hands on him, he'll be lucky if he even comes out of this in one piece."

"You know I can hear you, right?" said Lilia.

Ren flinched. "What… uh… oh… um… you know I was kidding, right Captain Lilia." Ren laughed an awkward laugh.

Shauna sighed at her brothers faux pa. "I have to admit I'm excited to see Luffy too."

"Oh excited to see your future groom, are you?" Lilia mischievously grinned. (It's common in Japan for cousins to have romantic feelings for each other.)

Shauna blushed, "T-that's not it… I just want to see my cousin. That's all."

"Sure." said the captain not believing her.

"Well I'm more interested in seeing these two babes Luffy's got on his crew." Ren said as he held the wanted posters of Cat Burglar Nami and Devil Child Robin. After saying that Shauna punched a hole through the poster and drove a fist into Ren's face knocking him off the upper deck. Hs nose was bleeding and broken and his face looked like it was hit by a giant 10-ton hammer.

"How many times do I have to say to not mention those women in front of me, brother dear." said Shauna with dark aura similar to Lilia.

Lilia ignored them. 'Luffy you and I will meet again soon. I don't know what I'll say, but just know that-"

"YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE, MISTER!" she shouted and unitentionally released a strong wave of conquerors haki. The wave knocked out some of the new recruits and made shauna and the more experienced marines fall on their butts.

"Captain Lilia…" Shauna groaned.

"Oops. Sorry."

So what did you think of me giving her haki? How do you like Ren and Shauna? What do you think will happen when the Strawhats and the maternal side of Luffy's family clash?
