I don't like you! by BloodyMarryMe

Yay, a new chapter's up! :D

I wanted to thank everyone for the support and reviews, I's so happy you guys like the story. ^^ So first, to address some of the questions/comments I got:

Lexzly: Miyako's parents died when she was young (she doesn't even remember them) and her master (a samurai) took care of her and taught her kenjutu. There will be more about him and Wano country in a few chapters. :)

Sharingan Hime: Yep, I've already written a lot :) Though I need to divide it in chapters since I just kept writing it without a stop in Word, so it's like a one piece story there. Silly me. ^^'

Yueres De Leo: Yes, it is sad. :( It was the saddest moment in whole One Piece for me and Ace was one of my favorite characters.

Miekaoo: Thank you! I'll publish a new chapter soon. :)

Ok, so that would be all. Now let's start! Enjoy!

CHAPTER 10

Miyako was sitting on her bed, cleaning her katana carefully. Law still didn't ask to get it back and she didn't want to remind him of it either, so she decided to lay low and avoid him for a while, hoping he'll forget about it completely. Luffy's straw hat was placed beside her on the bed. She was still thinking of everything that happened today. She became a part of the Heart Pirates crew, went to the middle of the war in Marineford, met two Shichibukai and almost had an argument with one and was currently traveling underwater and avoiding Sea Kings as they traveled through the Calm Belt and towards the legendary women island, Amazon Lily. Boa Hancock's ship arrived not long after what happened on deck and was now leading them to her empire. Miyako wondered what it would be like. And more importantly, she wondered how the women would react to the mostly men crew of pirates coming to an island where men were absolutely forbidden to enter. She never heard a tale of a man who returned from Amazon Lily. *Well at least I should be safe,* she thought with a shrug, but even that was uncertain since she was also a part of this pirate crew now. She scowled a little at the thought. *It's not like I really want to be…* Law's smug smirk appeared before her eyes and she quickly shook the image away. She decided to act nice, though, so he wouldn't be suspicious and ask too many questions…and because she wanted her katana back. A knock pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Yes? Come in!" She called and the doors opened.

It was Cody with his usual smile plastered on his face. He was still wearing that grey hat. Then she noticed another pair of brown working boots behind him. "Hi!" Cody called and stepped aside. "Oh, this is Joshua, but you can call him Josh for short."

Miyako looked at the newcomer. He was short, even shorter than her and had the same uniform as everyone else. But his hat was a simple black cap with a white rim. On the front of the cap were two mean-looking eyes with red pupils, staring right at her. However Josh's eyes were completely different. Two big emerald green orbs stared at her. She could see red hair sticking from under the cap. His face was pale and looked very young, almost child-like.

"oh…I didn't know you had children on board as well." Miyako commented with honest surprise and stared at what she thought was a young boy of about 15.

The "boy's" face reddened with anger instantly. "I'm not a child you stupid woman! I'm 21 years old! And I'm a part of captain's medical staff like Cody."

Miyako was even more surprised now. "T-twenty-one?" She repeated, which only made Josh more annoyed. "You're older than me by two years!"

Cody laughed loudly, cutting their almost-argument off. "Yeah he does look young, huh…especially since he's so short." He grinned and patted Josh's head, which made Josh fume in anger.

"S-shut up you idiot! And don't call me short! I'll kick your ass!" The redhead yelled fiercely, but Cody only laughed at the threat.

Miyako coughed slightly, getting their attention and interrupting their argument. "Ehem. Did you need something?"

"Nah, I just wanted to see how you're doing? You know, if you got used to the submarine and all," Cody answered with a grin.

"Oh, thank you. Well I'm still in the process of getting used to everything and everyone I guess," she shrugged.

"hmm. So you're the new crew member everyone is talking about. You don't look like anything special at all. You look pretty plain and weak actually." Josh commented and Cody gave him a nudge in the ribs. "Ow! What?" Josh called out, rubbing his ribs.

Miyako's eye twitched and she crossed her arms on her chest. "You're one to talk, shrimp," she spat back with annoyance.

"What did you call me?" Josh was red in the face again, both out of anger and embarrassment. "Are you saying I'm short?"

Miyako raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that obvious…"

Obviously she hit a nerve. Josh definitively had some unresolved issues with his height. She could see Cody flailing his arms behind Josh, trying to get Miyako to stop, but she ignored him and kept on with the intense staring contest Josh and her were currently having. However they were both brought out of it when they heard voices in front of Miyako's door. The three pirates turned their heads towards the door as they could hear bickering right outside. The girl went to the door and opened them, stepping to the side as Shachi and Penguin fell on their faces into the room. She crossed her arms and looked down at them with a mild angry look. "What do you think you're doing?"

The two mechanics stood up as quickly as they could with slight blushes on their faces. "N-No, No! It's not what you think! We were just walking by and then saw Josh and Cody enter your room so we decided to check it out…in case they had some bad intentions." Penguin explained looking suspiciously at the two medics.

"The only ones having bad intentions around here are you two perverts!" Josh yelled. His temper was obviously as short as he was. Miyako snickered at the though and Josh looked at her warningly as if he just read her mind.

"W-what are you saying? We were just worried about our friend Miya-chan!" Shachi argued with the short redhead.

"It's Miyako, not Mi-" Miyako tried to explain, sick of the nickname she got, first on Sabaody and now on the sub. But she was cut off by Josh as he argued on with the two mechanics. Meanwhile Cody was trying to ease the situation and calm everyone down. And just as she was about to yell for everyone to get out of her room, a new voice traveled from the doorway, making everyone stop what they were doing.

"What's going on here? Miss Miyako, you've got quite a party here." It was Law and he was leaning on the doorway, with his arms crossed and the usual smirk on his face.

"C-captain!" The two medics and two mechanics exclaimed in surprise, while Miyako just stared at him.

"Heey guys, where did you all go?" Yet another voice came and soon Bepo appeared at the doorway as well.

Miyako was starting to get annoyed by everyone just barging in. *Seriously! Did they forget this is my private room?*

Law ignored their startled exclaim. "We arrived at Amazon Lily and will be surfacing shortly. So if everyone's done here, go to your positions and prepare yourselves."

Penguin and Shachi grinned at the thought that they'll soon be seeing the legendary women from Amazon Lily. Cody had a slight blush as well, but Josh only rolled his eyes, annoyed. Miyako stayed calm and quiet as always, not really caring either way. She was interested in the island but definitively not because of the women.

"Aye, captain!" The men exclaimed and went out of the door, saying bye to Miyako who just waved after them with a relieved sigh. "Bye Miyako!" Cody called and waved with a smile, but soon rushed out of the door when he saw his captain's impatient look.

"Bye Ugly." Josh commented as he passed her.

"Bye, Shorty." Miyako answered calmly, unfazed by his comment. He, on the other hand, was red in the face from her retort but kept any thoughts to himself as he walked out. Law gave her a questioning look, but she just shrugged.

"I'm glad you're getting along so well with the crew." Law said with a smirk when they were alone.

Miyako shrugged again. "Well they don't seem that bad. Though it's a bit early to tell," she answered, remembering they only knew each other for about 2 days. But those 2 days were so full of happenings that it seemed more like 2 weeks.

"In any case, you should prepare as well. I'm sure we've arrived by now." Law moved from his spot and turned to leave, then stopped just before closing the doors behind him. "Oh and don't think I forgot about that." He pointed behind his back right at the katana on the bed. Miyako stiffened, thinking he was surely about to take it away again, but then he added, "Well you've been acting nice lately so I'll let you keep it…for now." Law closed the doors behind him, not waiting for an answer.

Miyako frowned at his smug comment and just knew he had that smirk on his face. The one she couldn't stand.

Aaaand we're done. :)

Miyako is meeting new friends! Yay ^^ I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to add some additional characters to the story to make it more interesting.

I might publish more chapters today and I still have my newest chapter to finish but I'm sooo sleepy. Meh, coffee here I come! XP

As always reviews are very welcome. I hope you liked it!
