Chapter 7: Hail Queen


"Get back here you stupid slut!" Kid shouted as he chased Kc through the long halls.

She only sticks out her tongue. "Hell no, you will freakin kill me and besides you have to admite it's a pretty funny prank."

"You put my fucking goggles in jello." Kid retorted.

"Hahaha...If you want your goggles so much then just eat the damn jello. At least it is your favorite flavor." Kc said as she laughed to the point that tears started to come out of her eyes.

Ducking her head down when Kid tried to throw the plate of jello at her face she didn't even realize Kid already had a tight grip onto her hand.

"Oh no... you got me." Kc said while still giggling.

"Bunk!" Kid hitted Kc across the head and threw her into the ocean.

Rubbing her sore head while she flies back onto the ship, Kc only smirks at Kid. "Ouch, do you have to be so rough?"

"God I hate you." Kid scoffs as he walks back to his room.

"What did you do this time?"Killer asked with crossed arms.

"I put his goggles in jello." Kc responded proudly with her head held up high.

"You're quite the trouble maker, aren't you." Killer said as he leaned back onto the ship's railing.

"Were pirates not saints, so were known to cause lots of trouble." Kc stated with a smirk.

"Well, since we don't dock onto the next island for at least another hour, do you want to do a little training?" Killer suggested and she nodded.

Kc has been practicing all of the most important skills to survive as being a pirate from one of the most infamous pirate crews in the grandline.

Gus, the ship's martial artist, has been teaching her all sources of powerful leg fighting techniques since her tails are like legs to her.

Heat, the ship's fire breather, has helped her to enstrengthing her ice abilities by making her get used to fire attacks.

And finally Killer, because their fighting style is so alike Kc preferred him out of everyone in the crew to spar with, even if he can be a little too rough sometimes.

Yep, she had grown quite close to the Kid Pirates to the point she might consider them as another family. Even if most of them are a bunch of freaking psychopaths.

Killer got out his blades and Kc coated her tails with ice so she could use them as blades. Pressing her hands together she then created 2 swords out of ice.

She stepped back to get some distance from the mask man.

They lung for each other, their weapons sparked at the impact. When one of her ice blades shattered at the weight , Killer managed to take hold of her arm and launched her across the deck. Thanks to her tails, she uses them to cushion her fall and to also fling herself back to Killer.

Once again, he deflected her attack and bashed her body down, making her back hit the hard floor. Using her tail she then grabbed Killer by the waist and switched places with him. Before Killer could have time to strike her again, Kc had already blown a thick chilly fog which made her completely disappear from his sight.

Quickly taking off her shirt, Kc then threw it in Killer's direction.

"I got you now!" Killer said as he punched the piece of clothing.

"What the?"

Killer dodged in the nic of time when an ice sickle slightly cut the tip of his shirt. Killer smirks when Kc had an ice blade inches away from his throat. "Not bad." Killer said. Kc then lost her balance after Killer swept her by the leg and as she fell, she held onto his shirt, pulling him down to the floor with her. "Aw man.. that was a dirty trick." Kc said with a small pout.

"And using your shirt as a distraction is not playing dirty." Killer retorted then he glanced at the brand mark that Black Beard gave to her.

"Does it hurt?"Killer asked as he gently touched the burned piece of flesh.

She only shook her head. "Nope, I can't let this mark bother me then that fat piece of shit will win."

"Still, I'm sorry I let that happen to you." Killer said in a soft mumble.

"You don't have to apologize, that guy was a freakin monster." Kc stated but still has nightmares about that horrible day.

They both then processed the position they were in: he was on top of her, with one of his hands still touching the top of her chest, not to mention she was only wearing her bra and nothing else. Killer is pretty glad he wears a mask that covers his entire face, then everyone could see his face was red like a tomato.

Fixing her hat after she jumped back onto her feet, Kc then scanned the deck to look for her next opponent.

"Alright, who's next!" Kc said while cracking her knuckles.

-x-

"Aloha!" Kc cheered as she jumped off the ship and landed on the beach.

"Now I have to buy a swimsuit." Kc muttered to herself since the island they landed on had a summer climate and had a large resort as well.

After entering into a store that was located on the beach, there were rows and rows of racks filled to the brim with swimsuits. Kc scanned around in the store until she found a bathing suit that she liked. She chose a classic triangle top with white and blue stripes that go horizontal and the bottoms were the same pattern as her top but it had a small skirt. She paid and pulled up her hair in high pigtails.

When she walked out, Kc was greeted with a bunch of whistles from men, but she ignored them.

Then she noticed someone was standing behind her since their shadow overcasted her's.

"What's with the grumpy expression Kid?" Kc asked when Kid stared at her like she caused all of the misery that happened in his entire life, which was kinda true.

"Get something else." Kid demanded.

"No, I already bought this and besides I bet you had seen lots of women wearing less clothing than this."

Kc retorted.

"That's not the problem, It's because of that." Kid said as he pointed at the brand mark of a different pirate crew.

"It's just a stupid mark, it means nothing." Kc stated with cross arms.

"Either cover yourself up or get something else that's an order."

Kc's eyes then spot a familiar blue and white mask. "Hey Killer, can you tell Kid he is overreacting about a dumb mark."

"Killer?" Kc called out his name again when he didn't say anything.

"Just because some bastard branded me in the past doesn't mean I can't wear whatever I want. It's my own body." Kc stated.

But they still didn't buge, both of them were still staring at her chest, not in a perverted way, but in a way that only showed disgust and hatred at the person who had done that to her.

Putting one of her hands on top of her chest she then concealed it by covering it with ice.

"Is that better?" She asked as she slowly walked away from them.

"Where are you going?" Kid asked.

"Surfing, the water looks really nice."Kc responded.

"I really don't think that is a good idea since you are a devil fruit user afterall."Killer stated.

"Nah, I'll be careful,"Kc said after creating a surfboard out of ice.

Feeling a little weak when half of her body was in the water, she hopped on her surfboard when she saw a large wave coming her way.

As Kc was still in the air she then jumped off her surfboard, did 2 backflips in a row and landed back with ease. When Kc saw one big wave while she was still in the ocean, she froze it when it was at its highest peak and instead of surfing she was now snowboarding.

After Kc washed up to shore she was surrounded by people who were either amazed with her devil fruit abilities or knew her as someone else.

"Oh my god, are you Hail Queen?" One man asked excitedly and Kc nodded.

"Yep, you heard about me before?" Kc asked, not caring by Kid's confused expression.

"Of course I have, you're literally one of the most coolest underground artists out there, I am willing to pay you 1,000,000 beri if you perform at my daughter's 16th birthday party tonight." He offered and she gladly accepted.

After the man left, Kid then stomped over where Kc was currently standing.

"So who's Hail Queen?" Kid asked while tapping his finger

"My stage name, wait Killer never told you?" Kc asked with widened eyes.

"Tell me what?!"Kid shouted, now becoming pissed.

"When I found out that Killer can play the drums I asked him to be my drummer when I booked gigs. Hail Queen is my persona when I am only using my ice powers in public, because everyone knows that Kc has a Zoan type devil fruit and is also a member of the Kid Pirates." She put emphasis in her name and the word Pirate.

"And since having 2 devil fruit powers is impossible, I mean that's what Killer told me anyway, no one will ever guess my real identity as a bloodthirsty pirate. I just let my devil fruit power change my hair and eye color and that's all I had to do to hide my true identity.

Me and Killer have been doing this together for more than 3 months now, and we have grown quite popular lately. " Kc explained proudly.

"Why am I figureing this out now?"Kid asked with a twitching eyebrow.

"You never ask, I mean almost everyone in the crew knew about this." Kc responded nonchalantly.

-x-

Putting the finishing touches of eyeliner, Kc then walked out of her bedroom with her guitar in hand. Kc was wearing a black and turquoise sleeveless high neck blouse that showed off most of her stomach and black leather pants. She put her hair up in a high ponytail and was wearing studded leather fingerless gloves to complete her punk rock look.

Killer was just wearing a plain black shirt but still wore the same pair of blue jeans he wears while fighting.

"Ready?" Kc asked when she saw Killer already having his drum kit in his arms.

Before they entered the party, Kc turned her hair white and gently swept her fingers across her eyes to create a mask out of ice. Ever since she got her first bounty poster she likes to wear a mask just in case while she is performing.

Killer only took off his mask and let his long bangs cover most of his face.

"Where is the birthday girl?!" Kc shouted and a tall blond girl raised her hand.

"What's your favorite animal?" Kc asked and the shy girl said an elephant.

Moving her hands in a circular motion, Kc then created an ice sculpture that was the same shape and size of an elephant.

"Oh my god, it really is you." The birthday girl said happily while jumping up and down, not caring she was wearing high heels.

"ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!" Kc shouted through the microphone.

"This is a song call: Know Your Ememy!"

After playing her last song she shot out a small beam of ice from her mouth, it then formed into fireworks that looked like snowflakes in the sky.

"Thank you for having us, we're out!" Kc said before blowing and covering the stage with a thick layer of fog.

"Ah, we were amazing, this has to be one of our best gigs yet." Kc said as she gave Killer a big hug.

Killer slowly wrapped his arms around Kc's torso and started spinning her around a little bit.

"Here is your money and thank you for making my daughter's birthday party so wonderful." The birthday girl's father said as he handed Kc a thick envelope stuff with beri.

As the 2 walked down the hill from where the large house was located, there was a good view of the ocean.

"Oh no, it looks like the ship is getting attacked by marines." Killer said as he pointed where the ship was currently docked.

"Screw the marines, we're 10 minutes late for Kid's curfew. I'm really not looking forward to hearing Kid bitch about being a few minutes late." Kc said with a heavy sign.

Transforming into her animal form, she grabbed Killer and sat him onto her back.

"Hold on tight." Kc said.

As Kc ran through the busy streets, she created an ice path so she could move faster while her tails spin like a motor to give them an extra boost of speed.

When Kc and Killer finally made it to the docks, she jumped onto the ship before Killer jumped off from her back.

"Sorry we're a little late Captain." Kc greeted Kid.

"So how did your shitty performance go?"Kid asked after they finished off the rest of the marines and were now dumping their bodies into the sea.

"Great, it was a lot of fun and I even tried out this new trick that is really good for special effects." Kc said before taking a deep breath.

She shot out a small beam of ice from her mouth, it then formed into fireworks.

"And here is something special just for you." Kc said before making the snowflakes formed into the Kid Pirates jolly roger.

"She really is incredible." Kid muttered under his breath in amazement.

"What was that?" Kc asked with a smirk.

"I said you're really stupid." Kid responded with a tint of pink on his face.

"Hey Kc, the town is having a festival tomorrow tonight and I was wondering if you would like to go with me?" Killer asked while holding up a flyer for the special event.

"Sure."

"That sounds like a lot of fun, I'm coming too." Kid declared which made both Killer and Kc sigh.

{ A day later }

Kc straightened out some wrinkles in her blue kimono and looked at the mirror. She smiled at her appearance, her hair was tied up in a nice well-defined bun and her makeup was perfect as well, especially her light purple eyeshadow with a little glitter on top.

Overall she looks like a refined lady instead of a member of one of the scariest pirate crews in the grandline.

After she was done paying for her kimono, Kc stepped out of the small booth that was located in the middle of the town.

"What do you guys think?" Kc asked as she did a little twirl.

"You look less ugly than normal." Was all Kid said.

"Know what, since I am in such a good mood, I will take that as a compliment." Kc said coldly.

The streets were lit and decorated with string lights and fun colorful decorations were hung up as well. The main street was filled with delicious food booths and games where you could win little prizes and all kinds of neat stuff.

After Kid, Killer and Kc were done eating a large order of takoyaki they shared together, they saw a yo-yo fishing booth. It is a game where you get a hook which is attached to a paper wrapper and you have to hook the end of a string onto a balloon without getting the paper wet.

In the end, Killer was the best of that game while both Kid and Kc suck at it.

"Here," Killer said after he handed Kc a cute fox plushie.

"Aw how cute, it even looks like me when I fully transform." Kc said as she admired the fluffy stuff toy.

"Show off." Kid scoffed as he crossed his arms which made Killer smile under his mask.

Throughout the night, the 3 of them played games, ate lots of food and overall just had a lot of fun together.

A man then walked onto the main stage that almost covered one whole block.

"Alright festival goers, who wants to come on stage and sing us a song?" A guy wearing a red kimono announced loudly on the microphone.

After Kc turned her hair white and slid her finger across her face so she could create a mask. She jumped onto the edge of the large platform, did a backflip and landed in the middle of the stage.

"Aren't you an interesting one little lady, are you here to sing us a song?" He asked.

"Call me Hail Queen." His eyes flicker in curiosity then he starts grinning.

"It looks like we got a local celebrity right here, so Miss Hail Queen, what are you going to sing to us?" Kc then walked toward the mic.

{Centuries by Fall Out Boy}

In the middle of the song she pulled her bun down and let her braided hair flow in the wind and then she turned her once blue kimono... white with beautiful snow patterns.

The audience clapped and cheered loudly after Kc bowed, then she jumped down from the stage and walked towards Kid and Killer.

Before they could react, she gave both of them a peck on the cheek. "Thank you, I had a lot of fun tonight."

They both stare down at her as they put their hand on their face from where she had kissed them.

"Well, guessing by Kid's silence I have less than 10 seconds to live so Goodbye. " Kc said after jogging a couple feet away from the quiet pirates.


Definition of Hail: pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds.

Do you guys like her stage name, I think Hail Queen sounds pretty perfect since Hail kind of sounds like Hell and Hail is also a winter theme word as well.

'Know Your Ememy' is a real song from Green Day.

And yes, I did a lot of Frozen references in this chapter.
