Chapter 5: Looking for Trouble

Trafalgar Law was the first one to wake up. Someone had knocked on his room door moments ago and were still there waiting for someone to open the door. Tired and annoyed, Law slowly got up. As he started moving towards the front door he heard Mizuki grumble something under the covers, along the lines of 'shut up'. Rolling his eyes as he got to the door, he was surprised to see his first mate Bepo standing patiently.

"Captain, they are serving all-you-can-eat pancakes downstairs. Hiroki-San informed me to go wake you two so that you guys may eat."

Still half asleep Law grumbled a low ok and said they would be down in 15 minutes.

"Hai, I will inform Hiroki-San", replied Bepo giving a quick nod. He turned and headed towards the stairs that would lead him to his pancakes.

Law closed the door and slowly went inside the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He began planning out his day so that he would have time to actually relax without worry. 'Hmm, we need to obtain more wood and metal for the sub. Our mess hall needs repairing since the incident that happened a while back.' His crew members had gotten into an argument over who would get the last of the lobster rolls while he was still sleeping in his room. Only after Bepo had ran over to wake him up to stop the battle did it end and when he went to go look at the damage the mess hall was half destroyed and empty. 'Sometimes my crew behaves so irresponsible,' thought Law with a smile. '…But they are my cherished nakama.' After finishing in the restroom he walks up to Mizuki's side of the bed and leans over. "Wake up...," he whispers in her ear smirking.

-MIZUKI-

"Wake up…" These words has startled her awake. The breath of the person who whispered it in her ear had send shivers through her back. She yelped and jerked up subconsciously. She barely missed bumping the perpetrator in the head as she fell to the floor taking her blanket with her.

A low chuckle was heard as the perpetrator casually walked away. Dazed and confused she suddenly remembered where she was. 'Law, that bastard…' She got up and glared at the back of the man's head.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR LAW? THAT HURT!" She rubbed the back of her head and was beginning to turn red from humiliation and fury.

Law stopped and turned his head staring at the girl with a raised brow. "You should stop yelling and take a bath. Breakfast is already being consumed by my ravenous crew and I'm pretty sure that if you do not hurry all the food will be gone."

Looking at the shirt she was using as a short dress, she blushed even harder as she remembered what had happened last night.

"I doubt you want to wear that all day, so go ahead and borrow whatever you like in the closet. You seem to have a liking of wearing my clothing," he smirked.

That annoyed her. "I had no other choice…and I will not BORROW anything from you anymore."

"You would rather wear what Hiroki-ya left you? Interesting… I would like to see that."

"S-Shut up… FINE, I will wear your clothing. Now get out." She walked towards the bathroom quickly, avoiding the amused stare from Law. She slammed the door shut.

Law chuckled again and grabbed a clean, dry towel from his closet. He then stood outside of the bathroom door.

Moments later she opened the door and he handed her the towel. She pulled it from his hands and shut the door hard again.

"You're welcome," she heard him say as he closed the door behind him, heading towards breakfast.

Mizuki turned the hot water on first letting the tub fill half way. She then added the cold making the water in the tub lukewarm. When she was satisfied with the temperature she turned the water off and began taking off her borrowed shirt quickly, throwing it into the clothes basket by the door. Her stomach growled angrily at her. Sinking into the tub she thought to herself that if what Law said was true she had to hurry. She was starving! Mizuki shampooed her hair quickly, rinsed it, and reached for the soap. 'Wait. Now that I think about it…this has been the same soap Law has been using for who knows how long!' She looked at it doubtingly. 'But it is soap…' She sighed and began scrubbing her body. 'It's just soap.'

Approximately ten minutes later she got out feeling nice and clean. She started draining the water in the tub and covered herself with the towel Law had handed her. Standing in front of the mirror over the sink, she began looking for a toothbrush. Mizuki crouched down and opened a cabinet under the sink. Relief filled her as she saw a package of toothbrushes and a comb. She walked out of the bathroom satisfied and headed for Law's closet. The closet was mostly filled with his signature hoodies so she grabbed one. She began looking for something to wear to cover her legs.

"He only has pants and they are all too long," she muttered looking closer inside. She scowled and then remembered what Hiroki-san had given her. 'Well I have no other choice…' Mizuki slowly emptied the contents of the bag onto the floor looking for something decent that didn't look to smutty. Spotting a pair of ripped tights she tried them on. 'They aren't that bad,' she thought happily. She took them off and started to look for underwear. It was awkward enough having to sleep without them. She didn't want to spend the whole day like that as well. 'No one would be able to tell though…,' she debated with herself. 'Ah, but I don't want to take any chances. It doesn't feel right without any anyways.' She looked through the pile avoiding the thongs and really lacy see-through ones. Mizuki reached for a black one that had caught her eye. It was a normal looking pair with some black lace. She sighed.

"This will have to do." Mizuki quickly inspected them making sure there were no traces of it being used and put them on. 'It feels comfortable enough,' she smiled putting on her black torn tights. She grabbed her boots that were still in the bathroom and wet them a little to make them look a little cleaner. She would clean them better later. Making sure she had everything in order she headed for the door.

"Ah! I almost forgot." Mizuki took out the little white box from her bra. She opened it and took the silver chain out. She always took it off when she bathed. 'There! I feel complete now,' Mizuki giggled and stuffed the box back into her bra. She started jogging towards the stairs. "Those bastards better have left me some food." Mizuki muttered as her stomach growled in agreement.

-LAW-

When Law had reached the bottom of the stairs he was very surprised. Most of his crewmates were calmly eating their pancakes without making such a mess. Besides the loud laughing and talking they actually seemed civilized. 'Heh, hangovers sometimes were a good thing.' He headed towards the table in which his three closest crewmates were and sat down. Bepo had his mouth full of pancakes as he said a good morning to Law.

"Bepo do not speak with your mouth full. You know I taught you better than that." Law said frowning.

Bepo quickly swallowed and looked at the table, shameful of his actions. "Sorry Captain…"

Law smiled kindly at his furry friend, "Do not do it again then."

"Yes Captain!" The bear saluted and began gobbling up his humongous stack of pancakes.

Law frowned, staring at the bear's portion jealously, "Where is my breakfast…"

Shachi laughed at his captain, "Hiroki said he was making more. He should be almost done." He took a big bite from his own plate as if teasing his own captain with the delicious looking pancakes.

He frowned even deeper at this.

Penguin saw this and grinned. "AH, these pancakes are really good."

Law turned to glare at his crewmate.

Laughing he passed his plate to his captain. "Don't get so cranky Captain. I was just teasing. Here you can eat the rest from my plate, I'm stuffed anyways." He patted his stomach with a happy sigh as to prove his point. "I will go see if Hiroki is finished so that I could bring you more.

"Thank you." Law said smiling gratefully. He hated being teased but he would forgive Penguin. This time. He looked at the plate counting three uneaten pancakes covered in syrup. Happily, he began digging in.

Minutes later he saw Mizuki descending from the stairs wearing one of his clean hoodies. She didn't appear wearing any pants but instead wore what appeared to be black ripped tights. He raised one of his eyebrows at this but then took notice of her height. His jeans would be a little too long for her. Her black, red-tipped hair was dripping a little and her boots left tiny puddles as she descended from the stairs onto the wooden floor of the bar. He liked her style. It was amusing and different. He focused back on his meal thanking Penguin as he placed a couple of fresh pancakes on his plate. From the corner of his eye he noticed her staring at his food with jealousy. She walked towards their table. All of them excluding Law looked at her approaching form and stared at the hoodie that was identical to their captain's.

"Umm… can one of you tell me where I could get the pancakes." Mizuki looked at the table avoiding there glares.

"Where did you get that," Shachi asked staring at her and his captain's hoodies, ignoring her question.

"Yea, only our captain wears a hoodie like that," added Penguin frowning at her.

Bepo remembered this girl from Law's room. He had called her a nuisance. "Captain, I thought you said she was a nuisance. Why do you still allow her to wear your clothing?"

Mizuki looked annoyed, both at the comment and refusal to answer her question.

Law looked up and stared at Mizuki's body. He noticed her discomfort and smirked. "I think it looks nice." He calmly stated and focused on his meal again. He heard her stomach growl and looked up just in time to see her furious blush. "If I understood correctly from my crewmate, Hiroki-ya should have finished a new batch of pancakes by now. I suggest you head to the kitchen quickly before they are all gone again."

"Thanks," Mizuki muttered and quickly jogged towards the kitchen.

"Captain?" Shachi and Penguin were giving him a curious glance. Bepo did not seem to care as much.

"We had to share rooms for the night." He finished the last of his pancakes and stood up. Waving as he turned Law headed for the door. "I'm heading off to look around for the day. Bepo?"

The bear quickly got up and quickly caught up to his retreating captain.

Law stopped and turned to his two crewmates sitting with baffled expressions. "Oh, and do not forget that we need to obtain wood and metal for the mess hall. I need the materials in the submarine by the end of the day. Is that clear?"

"Yes Captain." They both replied and as they started to ask more questions, their captain was already through the door and out of the bar.

-MIZUKI-

'He can't just say stuff like that.' Mizuki though angrily. The sweet smell of pancakes filled her nose and she could've sworn she drooled a little. Wiping her mouth, she quickly entered the kitchen. Hiroki was making more pancakes wearing a red apron that was covered in dots.

Hiroki looked over his shoulder and grinned. "Good morning princess. You hungry?"

Mizuki's fist shook in anger as she walked up to him.

Hiroki noticed this and sweat dropped. "Hehe…You look really cute today Mizuki."

She socked him in his arm and yelled at him, "Why the hell would you leave me with a bag of used lingerie! I AM NOT A STRIPPER!"

Hiroki turned off the stove and began rubbing at his now throbbing arm. "It was an accident! I had a bag of some of my clothing that was supposed to be for you, but the person that came to pick up that bag must have gotten mine. I had to give you something though…," he pouted.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR CLOTHES FROM YOUR ROOM?"

"It slipped my mind until this morning."

She sighed and he flinched, waiting for another punch. Instead though she just grabbed a plate and filled it up with five pancakes and left the kitchen. She saw him smile before she left. She sat on a stool near the bar and started gobbling up the pancakes. 'Mmmm…they are so fluffy. I just might be able to forgive you Hiroki-san.' As she finished her third one Hiroki appeared with a glass of milk and set it next to her.

"A peace offering for the princess."

"Shut up," she growled taking the glass and drinking half of it.

"You don't eat your pancakes with syrup?"

"I do, but I am just too hungry to care."

He smiled and poured some of the sweet substance onto the remaining pancakes. After she thanked him he left to go serve the pirates.

"They are pirates. Yet, they don't seem like it. I wonder how that happened…," she muttered to herself. True, she disliked pirates but… these pirates didn't look too harmful, besides Law and that one big guy. He almost looked like a giant. Oh, and the bear. Bepo was it? He seemed too soft to actually do damage. 'Was he Law's pet?' Frowning she finished her pancakes and gulped down the rest of the milk.

"Thanks for the meal Hiroki-San," she said to him as she headed for the kitchen to drop off her plates.

"Just do not hit me for the rest of the day ok?"

"Deal." Mizuki headed for the door. 'Now to look for a boat… the sooner I find one the quicker I can resume my voyage.'

Outside she was met with the same powerful heat waves from yesterday. She frowned. "I do not want to end up with tanned skin…" She admired her creamy white skin, she took great care of it since it was the same shade her mother was. She put her hood up and made sure the sleeves of the hoodie covered her arms and hands. She sighed. It would be quite tiring walking around like this, but it was necessary.

-LAW-

Trafalgar Law and his first mate Bepo were casually walking through the busy streets of Glory Honey Way. The place was very crowded, especially around the rare honey tree. The tree really interested Law since it was said to prevent illnesses. That would really help when he and his crew entered the New World. Maybe it was possible for the tree to heal serious injuries as well. This really motivated Law. 'Maybe I could take some before we leave this island. It would be worth it. The only problem is that no one knows if it is true or not. The guards never respond to anyone's questions.'

"Bepo."

"Yes Captain?" Bepo saw a sinister smile make its way onto his captain's face as he stared at the tree.

"Before we leave how about we take a couple of branches from this tree."

"But Captain, isn't this tree forbidden," Bepo asked tilting his head to the side.

"Bepo."

"Yes?"

He turned to look at his furry companion. "We are pirates. The word forbidden is not in our vocabulary."

"Sorry," The bear looked at the ground shamefully.

Law sighed and started walking away from the crowded tree in search of a bookstore.

"Ah, wait Captain," Bepo said as he ran towards his captain.

Law turned around to look at the tree and then looked at his first mate. "Say Bepo, do you remember if there was a book store near where we are now."

Bepo shook his head.

He chuckled lightly, "Well then, let's keep an eye out for one. I would like to browse books on the tree if they have any available."

"Yes Captain."

-MIZUKI-

Mizuki was heavily sweating underneath Law's hoodie. She was now walking through dim alleyways to avoid the harsh rays of the sun and to search for the center of the town. 'I really hope I'm not lost again…' She kept looking up at the high windows of the apartments making sure that she wouldn't get dumped with something like yesterday.

After what seemed like hours of aimlessly walking through alleys Mizuki heard voices. Excited and happy Mizuki hurryingly headed towards them in hopes of getting directions. As she got nearer though she slowed down to a stop. She could hear everything being said as the people were just around the corner of an alley she was kneeling against. They sounded angry.

"I don't want this stupid filthy thing in my home any longer!"

"But miss, this is the offspring of one of the best mouse catchers throughout the island!"

Mizuki wouldn't risk peeking at the people. She only heard them as they spoke.

"That must have been a lie since this scraggy thing hasn't caught anything! IN FACT, I see this stupid thing just stare at mice like if they were furniture! It makes absolutely no attempt and I want it out and dead!"

"Miss I can expla-"

"Do not even bother. Return all of the money I paid for this stupid thing or else I will have your head."

"You cannot possibly believe I have all of the money you gave me! You gave me 20,000 bellie!"

"I EXPECT EVERY BELLIE BY THE END OF THE WEEK!"

"Please have mercy…"

"MERCY! After all the damage that THING has done I should make you pay double! It has ruined furniture and my drapes! Then I had to find you in your disgusting part of town. My shoes are ruined!"

"I sincerely apologize miss…"

"I will forgive you once I receive the money."

"But I only have 10,000 bellie left! I could never possibly make 10,000 more in a week's time!"

"FIGURE IT OUT OR I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DIE IN THIS FILTH OF A PLACE."

"…."

"Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Oh, and another thing. I want that thing dead. I want it to suffer and die. I expect to see its dead body and the money by the end of this week. Do not dare me to come back here or so help me my husband will dispose of you!"

"Yes Ma'am."

Mizuki heard the clicks and clacks of the woman's heels disappear into the alley. As soon as she couldn't hear it Mizuki heard a strangled sound of an animal.

"You stupid thing! How could you ruin me like this! I TRAINED YOU!"

The cries of the animal got louder until Mizuki couldn't take it anymore. She peeked at the man. Her eyes instantly widened in horror at the sight she was seeing. The man was crouched over a cat. One hand was holding it by the neck and the other was holding a knife. The man was wearing a black worn out trench coat and had fingerless gloves. His hand tightened around the cat making it yowl in terror and pain. The knife was near the poor things head. Before Mizuki could scream at him to stop the man sliced through the cat's left ear tearing it almost in half. Mizuki froze in horror. The noise the cat made was something that would haunt her forever. It was loud and full of agonizing pain. Never in her life had she heard such a noise. The cat's ear was now covered in blood.

"HAHAHA! How did that feel you mangy creature!" The man laughed. He raised the knife to do the same to the other ear but was stopped by someone screaming.

"HOW COULD YOU!" Mizuki was sobbing. She had never seen such cruelty done to an animal before. Especially to the type of animal she loved best.

"What's wrong with what I'm doing? This cat deserves the pain. All cats are stupid and should just die…" As he said the last word he picked up the cat higher and quickly sliced its other ear just like the other one.

"NOOO!" Mizuki screamed and ran towards the man as she heard the cat's painful yell once again. Hearing it to her felt like a knife was slowly piercing her heart. The pain it caused her was to overbearing. She had to stop this cruel man.

The man grinned and threw the cat towards a nearby trashcan. The cat's body crashed against the can harshly causing the cat to cough up blood and lay on the floor in pain.

The man dodged the punch directed to him and stabbed Mizuki in the arm with the knife in his hands. Mizuki gasped in pain from the wound but quickly recovered and turned around to dodge before he stabbed her again. She felt the blood filling the hoodie and dripping onto the cold pavement. 'I have to focus. I cannot just blindly attack him. I could get harmed again… he knows how to fight.' Mizuki wiped her face and glared at the man in pure fury.

"You can't possibly think you could beat me can you?"

"Oh I don't think it… I know it."

The man snarled in anger and ran towards her with the knife aiming for her stomach. She moved to the right to dodge his attack and grabbed his left arm turning it hard behind his back. The man screamed in pain.

"I got you now…," Mizuki whispered in his ear.

"Don't get cocky."

The moment those words left his lips he swung his right arm towards her and stabbed her again, this time near her armpit. She released him and held her arm in pain.

"But I had you in a painful position…how?" She gasped again in pain. He suddenly grabbed his arm and twisted it in an angle she didn't think was possible. She flinched at the sound his bones made.

"I just happen to be double jointed… Moves like that are uncomfortable but cannot hurt me."

She shook her head in denial. 'REALLY!' Mizuki scowled. She had to fight this man without that knife. She waited for him to come at her. He screamed an angry cry and headed straight for her in a hunched run. Mizuki waited for the right moment and leaped right over the angry man. When she landed she extended her feet in front of his running ones and tripped him. His knife flew out of his hands landing a few feet away. He got up quickly to try and retrieve the knife but Mizuki stopped him by stepping on his ankle. The man screamed in agony.

"Don't you ever mess with defensive creatures again you bastard," she said low and menacingly. Mizuki lifted her foot and stomped on his ankle hearing the bone break. He screamed. As he rolled around the floor she slowly walked up to his other ankle. She lifted her foot up again…but before she could step on it something heavy fell on her head causing her to crumble on the floor.
