Hey sorry it took forever to update, but I've got one word and those of you in high school will understand... School... Not to mention my new boyfriend, tons of homework and a angry pregnant sister, so yeah these last couple of weeks have been hard! It also made me an itty bit sad that I only got one review! Any who, enjoy the chapter!
Disclaimer: I dont own One Piece, but if anyone read the last chapter you have to agree with me that was so awesome!
Chapter 6 recap: ^.^
Chance scowled at me, "Let's just get this over with." Really he had to suck the fun out of my victory didn't he? I mean sure we might have tied but he didn't have to get all moody about it. When we turned around we saw that our prize was already out of port.
"What the-" Chance swore, I narrowed my and saw from a distance that a girl was waving good-bye to us, she had dark hair and dark eyes, she was yelling something to us but the wind was so strong that it was lost to us, but from what little lip-reading I can do I knew what she said. And it made my blood boil.
'Good-bye suckers!'
Chapter 7:
I was angry and really pissed off! That girl was going to pay when I got my hands around her neck! I mean how could we miss that the boat that we were intending to steal ended up getting stolen from us? Oh the irony. This chick is pretty good since Chance didn't even notice her, (because some how Chance knows when I stick my tounge out at him behind his back, I'd actually started to wonder if he had a third eye in the back of his head) or was extremely lucky, but I was hoping for the former, because if she was really that amazing then I had to get this girl to join my crew.
I was thinking this as both me and Chance were rushing along the beach trying to get to a Lover's Ciff that hung far over the sea, and with any luck we could jump aboard the ship steal right back from her.
"What's the plan?" Chance asked not even out of breath, like I almost was (even though I was real good at hidding it) I was could beat Chance at a speed compition no problem, but when it came to distance I lost hands down. It's surprising what people can learn about each other when their stranded on a strange island, knowing no one, but each other, and hardly that.
"Get the boat back," I huffed breathing hard, (okay maybe I wasn't as good as hiding it like I thought I was) stating the obvious.
Out of the corner I saw Chance roll his eyes, and I added a mental note to pour water on him to get him up tommorow morning instead of pulling that matress out from under him like a normally did. "I know that what I mean is about the girl." He asked exasperated.
"Ask he to join our crew?" I said wanting to shrug but that was really hard to do when one is in the middle of running.
"You aren't serious, right?" I heard the disbelief in his voice. When I didn't answer he groaned, "You are serious,"
"Totally and completley" I huffed my legs starting to burn from all of the running.
"What makes you even think that this girl will even want to join our crew, or even have what it takes?" he asked disbelief still coloring his voice.
"I'll ask, and if she say no then I'll dump her off on the next island." I said simply lungs burning.
"You got it all figured out don't you?" he muttered. I wouldn't answer him even if I could, seeing how that if I opened my mouth I might projectile vomit up the lunch that we'd bought before trying to steal the boat.
"There she is" he murmered crouching preparing to spring waiting just when the boat was about to cross under Lover's Cliff. I joined him narrowing my eyes and breathing slowly in and out.
"Will jumped on three," I said staring down at the boat calculating. I saw Chance nod out of the corner of my eye.
"One," I whispered. Chance made sure that his two swords were attached firmly to his belt, I pulled my long uneven red hair into a pony tail so that my hair wouldn't get into my eyes.
"Two" My fingers dug into the dirt in anticapation.
"Three!" Chance and I both sprang forward at the same time, and I'm proud to say that the both of us landed cleanly on the ship, but the best thing was the look of shock that flittered in the girl's dark eyes, it was priceless.
"Who are you." She frowned narrowing her eyes standing her ground.
"The owner of this ship." I said through gritted teeth.
"So your part of Suckies crew the hmmm?" before I could answer she drew a pistol quickly running towards me. I was so unprepared for that reaction that I almost wasn't able to dodge the bullet , luckily it grazed my cheek instead going through my head.
I gritted my teeth, damn this girl was really gettingon my last nerve.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Chance draw both his swords his eyes narrowed and nostrils flaring in anger. But before he even got a chance to attack I put my hand out grabbing his shirt and pulling him back, before he could do anything rash, like kill a potential ally.
He glared back at me venom in his eyes, and I glared right back, growling slightly he grudgingly took a step back. I mouthed trust me to him and he nodded only slightly rolling his eyes at my request. It warmed my heart a bit to think that he actually listned to me, for once.
I walked forward cautiously, putting my hands in the air, showing her that I meant no harm. Her eyes darted uneasily from me to Chance, and back again.
"Actually we aren't" I said taking a cautious step forward when she retreated one step back I stopped, she reminded me of a cornered animal the way her eyes darted looking for an escape route. She looked at me through narrowed eyes and scoffed.
"Right, so it's just my immagination that bastard's colors a flying up there then?" She mocked not lowering her gun.
"Actually, we kinda were, ya know stealing it," I shrugged. Her jaw dropped in surprise.
"You don't steal from the Suck pirates." She said surprise written all over her pale face.
"So what are you doing" I ask inocently, my hands growing tired from keeping them in the air for so long.
"That's different." She said face hardening to stone.
Chance snorted, the girl's and my eyes turned to him, "How is it much different" he wanted to know impatiently, "We may have different reason for stealing this boat, but we all still stole it didn't we?"
"He's right." I said nodding, out of the corner of my eye I saw Chance smirk smugly at the dark girl, who bristled angrily like a cat that just got splashed with a good vat of water.
"I wanted this ship so that I could kill Baron Suck." She said calmly.
"Do you want our help?" I asked.
"What's the catch?" she asked after the inetial shock of proposal.
"After we kill Mr. Suck you join my crew." I said grinning with confidence.
She thought for a moment weighing out the potential of this deal, then finally said, "Deal!"
