Chapter 14
Standing at the head of my ship, staring out across the sea with the wind blowing my hair into my face, I smile. Listening to the bustle going on behind me, I think back on the long month of training that had passed since we escaped from that hell of a prison. I have taught the women of my crew how to defend themselves to the best of my abilities.
Life at sea had been better than expected and I had to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Picking up my telescope I peer through spotting land ahead. A feeling deep down told me I needed to be there, pulling Aaron's wanted poster from my pouch a smile crept across my face. *we'll be together again soon, I can feel it.* turning I wave down Clarice and tell her to make port.
Walking up set of stone steps into a large city, the feeling in my stomach intensifies. It has been a week since we left the boat and the crew was getting restless. *Yup this is where I'm supposed to be.* Running my hand across my forehead, i wipe away the sweat from my brow. Threw the past week I have dragged my crew through scorching heat of the dessert, all on a gut feeling, I hate the dessert.
"Captain Alex, why are we here?" Clarice laid her hand on my shoulder and asked in a concerned voice.
"I have this weird feeling that I need to be here, if you can understand that?"
"I can, surprisingly, hey look a casino right over there, we can get ourselves a cold drink and see if they have beds for the night." She smirked to me and started walking in the door of the establishment
"Good idea, hmm rainbase… I like it." Walking through the door the room went quiet with the exception of whispered conversations. Walking over to the bar I sit down and order my drink. Sipping on the smooth but spicy glass of rum I feel a tap on my shoulder. Turning around see a group of fifteen guys standing behind me with satisfied smirks, that spoke trouble, across their faces.
"can I help you?" taking another sip of my rum I finished off my glass and put It to the side. Watching I see a slightly balding blonde man walk forward.
"We were just coming over to find out why a pretty lady like you doesn't have a man by her side to protect her?" looking around I noticed my crew surrounding the men. Feeling an arm creep around my waist as the blonde man pressed his body against mine. Leaning down he whispers into my ear as I feel the disgust rise in my stomach. "Don't worry baby. Now I'm here to keep you safe!" running his hand down lower he grabbed at my ass and I felt my anger rise.
With a smirk coming to my face I turn a glare on him that promised pain. Focusing my energy into my hand I ran it down his chest and gut till I reached my target and grabbed his balls tightly with a squeeze. Releasing my energy my hand burned with concentrated fire. Leaning forward as he screamed in pain I whisper back to him. "sorry sir but I don't need someone to protect me and I certainly don't need you. So if you ever want to have use of your parts again… I suggest you remove your hands from my body because its not yours to touch!" feeling his hand move from my ass, I released his balls and watched him fall to the floor holding himself. Looking up again I noticed the rest of the men closing in closer to gang up on me. Sending a look to Clarice to hold off and wait I turn back to the men.
"Now now that wasn't nice little lady, but you're a little firecracker and I love a challenge!" feeling my anger peak I pull my hand back and hit him in the jaw before he could finish his sentence. i watched as the crowd part as he flew back into the wall.
"NO one calls Me Firecracker…!" running towards the rest of them, all ready for a fight to claim me, I kick the first one in the groin and punch the second and third in the stomach the jaw. After the first ten or so were down I heard a song start up with a voice that struck a chord deep inside of me. In the next second I had hands on me trying to pull me in separate directions. Kicking my free leg up I kneed the man pulling at my waist in his groin and he flew back into two others whom fel to the floor. Focusing my energy again I form a fireball in my hand ans force it into the leg of the man holding my arms
Feeling the guy fall away I stood up straight and stare at the last guy looking around at his fallen comrades, then back to me with a scares look in his eyes. "You want some to? Well then come and get it." Trying to back up he trips over a set of legs and falls to the ground with a loud crack. "I didn't think so." Turning back to the bar I order another glass of rum and sit down as I chug it down. Placing my cup down I look up to see Clarice with a smile.
"You okay captain Alex?"
"Yeah I'm okay I just need another…" suddenly I had my arms full of a short blonde and feel my stool rock back against the bar.
"ALEX, oh my god I've missed you so much we have looked everywhere." Looking down I see beautiful gree eyes, filled with tears staring back up at me.
"Angela? Where have you guys been I've benn looking…? Wait did you say we?" looking up I noticed a tall man trying to make his way through the crowd of women.
"Oh my god." Gently I remover angela from my arms and ran towards the man. Jumping I wrap my arms around his neck and legs around his waist, and hugged him as tightly as possible as the tears began to run down my face.
As he brushed my hair back from my face he hugged me back and whispered in to my ear. "I found you my little firecracker." As joy spread through me I felt a sob escape as the memory of the past three months came back to me.
"god I've missed you. Where did you guys go I wasn't able to find you after we left the portal? I looked for you." Letting my feet touch the ground I stood and continued to hug him.
"I think we might have overloaded the portals. I wound up waking up in orange town outside of the grand line. I met these really weird people and they let me ride with them to find you guys. I found angela about a month in, at a town being terrorized by a crew of fisherman." He said as he unwrapped the turban from his head to let his hair down and then pulled me closer to him.
Letting out a sigh I took comfort in being in his arms again. "Well at least we are all together now… oh wait my crew." Turning in his arms I look at Clarice. "Where does that leave us Clarice?"
"Well, Captain…, Alex I did say that we would help you find your friends as long as you helped us, and you have. Now that you back with your friends we should be fine on our own. We will miss you though."
"Only friends huh?" Aaron said as I turned to see him take off his robe off and stood there in his normal clothes.
"hey don't take any offense to it. Clarice know's what you mean to me, but I wasn't going to tell everyone." Turning back to Clarice "thank you for all your help."
"No thanks necessary, you helped us more than we could ever repay so we will assist you whenever you need it."
"what wrong with the others knowing?" Aaron asked and then turned me around to pull me into a deep kiss. As he pulled away my head felt light. "God I missed you so much Alex."
"I missed you to, and I thought it wouldn't be smart to inform the crew that I was in love with one of the crew members that were the cause to them being captured…" Stopping my sentence short I wrapped my arms around him again while my hand started to play with the hairs at the base of his neck.
"Captured? How did you meet up with them if they were captures." He asked and I buried my face deeper in to his chest.
"It's a long story and one I can tell you later. Its nothing though really." I said softly as I felt the memories come back as I unconsciously rubbed at my wrists trying to rid the feeling of phantom cuffs.
"Makes sense, we should probably get out of here before shit hits the fan anyway." Aaron said as a load scream floated in from outside.
"Crocodile, Get Your Ass Out Here!"
"And… to late" he said as sweat began to fall down his forehead.
"whos that…" pulling away from him I start walking out the door to see the duffy maan from the wanted posters, Straw hat I think his name was.
"That would be my captain, and we should really leave here… like Now." Aaron said walking up next to me.
"Okay, well I'll be right back…" walking back into the Casino I walked over to Clarice and hugged her. "Thank you again. I'm leaving now and I will miss you." With a smile I turned and left. Outside the door I grabbed Aarons hand and smiled up at him. "I'm ready now."
"Well then lets go I have to let my crew know I'm sitting this one out." Aaron said as he walked beside Angela and I up to the man that was yelling. "Hey guys I'm going to sit this fight out ok. I just found Alex and… I kinda don't want to risk it." Watching them all nod Aaron said with a smile "Ok we are going to head back to the ship then." With that said we continued out of the city towards his ship.
1 Week Later
"Hey Angela wanna help me with something." I asked as she walked into the room.
"What?"
"Take off your dress and boots and follow me." Watching her undress and then walk over. "Okay I'm going to open the door and call for Aaron I want you to look even more sexy then you already are ok." She nods and I open the door, the two of us lean on the door jam and watch Aaron talk to Sanji.
"Hey Aaron can you come here for a minute? We need to talk." He looks over at us and starts to grin. Turning back he says something to Sanji then turns to walk over to us. He grabs us by the waist and brings us into the room then closes the door. Before the door could close all the way Aarons guitar makes a humming sound.
All of us look over, with a sudden urge to blow it up Aaron screams. "You Have Got To Be Shitting ME! Way To Cock-block GUI!"
"Are you Serious… can I Just have… 20 Minutes…" gui hums louder.
"Ugh, you gonna let us say good bye atleast." Aaron said with an aggravated tone and Gui hummed lightly this time, taking that as a yes. "Well come on girls get dressed." He said as he walked out on to the deck.
"God damn it" sitting on the bed I pull my dress over my head and work my boots up my legs. "It's like they have something against me getting some." I grabbed the guitar as we walked out, banging it on the door frame slightly with a smirk on my face. We walked onto the deck in time to hear Luffy ask what cock-block means. Angela and I giggle as we walk up next to Aaron.
"Ummm… I'm leaving… My guitar did… and ask Sanji." Aaron turned and walked over towards me and takes the guitar. "It been real fun guys, but gui says it's time to go so… I'll see you sometime." With a trademark smirk he strummed the notes along the guitar and a portal opened in front of us.
"Umm don't let go of my hands this time please." I said looking over at Aaron.
"Course Not." Aaron said as he grabbed our hands and we walked into the portal together.
