Chapter 3:
Wow! I can't believe I didn't recognize him when we bumped into each other… Well, I was in a rush.
Ivy searched for her target before she spotted him… Battling against the marines…with Kidd and Luffy. Ivy sighed mentally then rushed off to find Jean Bart which wasn't that hard. The big man was sitting just outside and she rushed behind him. "Girl, this isn't a safe place to be in. Why don't you run on home to your family?" Ivy looked up at the former pirate captain and smiled sadly, "I wish I could but I'm not from here, and even if I did go back my dad's dead and my mom's in a coma... Not much family waiting for me back home..." Bart regarded the strange girl with a look of sympathy but she smiled and waved away the look. "My dad died a long time ago so I'm over it. 'No use in crying over spilt milk' as my mom would say." Wait! I can just run away and maybe Law will come for me! Right! He f***ing bid on me. I mean really, the other bidders only got to 290,000 but he said 840,000! Bart watched the girl run off to the other groves before turning back to the fight.

Since later today Law is gonna fight with Kidd against a Pafista I am gonna have to find food and work on controlling my new powers! She ran on until she found a lost little girl who looked to be 12 crying and as she got closer she saw a man in front of her. Not caring who saw she ran towards them and using karate she knocked the guy away before grabbing the girl and rushing away. "Are you okay? What was that all about?" Ivy was taken aback when the girl hugged her and blubbered "T-th-thank y-you!" She continued to squeeze until the kitten yelped from being squished and that caused the girl to pull back. She wiped the remaining tears away and said, "Follow me, my parents will want to thank you for saving me." Ivy followed the girl to an apartment and was thanked for finding her then the parents offered to let her spend the night which Ivy accepted immediately. As she lay down that night she wondered to herself, I wonder where Law will be tomorrow. As Ivy drifted to sleep she made a mental note to cause some trouble in the lawless zone the next day.

The next day Ivy got up before the break of dawn and after getting some fruit from the kitchen she left a note saying 'Thank you for your hospitality. I took an apple on my way out, sorry for the inconvenience of having to feed two extra mouths last night.' With that Ivy skipped out the door and ran to find somewhere to hide and train. She found the biggest tree and started to climb up. As she climbed higher she saw that it had the number twelve on it then she got to a big thick branch. Once on it and after making sure no one was watching her she transformed into a bear and began her morning routine of warming up by going through the basics of Karate, Judo, and Muay Thai. After training in bear form she morphed back and trained in human form. Then with Aka, they both trained together until they could fight in total sync then they worked on morphing back and forth from normal to 'fight mode' as Ivy called it. The two finally took a break after they both had collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep after morphing back to normal. When they woke up the sun was high in the sky, it was loud and the streets where busy. Climbing down with care Ivy ran into a pirate on the street. "Where is the lawless zone located?" The man looked at her then said, "I'll tell you sweetheart but you gotta give me something in return." Ivy stared at his and kept up her smiling mask while she mentally retched. "Tell me where the lawless zone is please," she said and the guy reached for her but she grabbed his arm and kicked out his knee before slamming him to the ground with his arm straight up and behind him. "Tell me where the lawless zone is," she said with a smile but her tone was malicious and deadly. The man glanced at her and when he saw her eyes he shuddered because they told him 'Tell me what I want to know before I rip off your arm and shove it up your ass.' He pointed to the left and said, "K-keep walking left until you come across a grove with nothing but taverns, bars, and repair stocks." She let go of him and walked off while he held his arm and tried to ease the pain.

She walked into the lawless zone and ran into Kidd and Killer who were arguing in the street about something. "Hey boys!" They turned toward her and Kidd lost it so he yelled, "Wench! Do you know who you're yelling at?!" Ivy stared at him then she held her chin as if in deep thought before saying, "The damn ginger Eustass Kidd and the blonde pansy Killer. What? Do I look like a threat to ya big strong boys?" That caught both of their attentions and before they could react she held up a hand and said, "Stop right there Killer! Before ya try to kill me I got a question for ya." This caused the blonde to stop in surprise, How did she know that I was gonna attack instead of Kidd? Ivy sighed and said, "I knew you were gonna attack Killer 'cause Kidd didn't shoot me when I called him a 'damn ginger'." She then turned to Kidd who was barking out a laugh at Killers stiff look. "Since I entertained ya Captain Kidd can I ask my question?" "Sure wench, I'll answer if I feel like it." "The magnetic fields around all the islands, how do you commit them to memory? Is it similar to a log pose or do you just remember the useful ones Eustass Kidd, Captain and navigator of the Kidd Pirates?" Kidd stopped laughing and glared at her before saying, "I don't need to explain myself to a fucking whore." "I'm not a whore Mr. Eustass but if you can't tell me I guess I'll just move on before all the nails and metal around here gets pulled out." With that she walked away and she smiled when she felt someone looking at her and sniffing the air with a bear nose she caught the smell of disinfectant and chemicals. Ivy smiled then while she was concentrating of morphing her nose back she ran into someone and after feeling her back to normal nose she looked up see a polar bear in an orange jumpsuit looking down at her. "I'm sorry," the bear said to her while offering her his paw. She took it and said, "Its fine Bepo, I'm the one who should be sorry. I wasn't paying attention so you don't have to apologize." The bear looked at her and thought, How does she know my name? However, before he could ask her this two familiar voices spoke up behind him. "There you are Bepo!" "Where have you been all this time?" The two men in matching off-white jumpsuits walked up and gaped openly at the girl still holding the bears paw. "That's not fair," they said in unison, "why does Bepo always get the girls?!" The bear became depressed and it fell off him in waves as he hung his head. "I'm sorry…" "SO WEAK!" Ivy glared at them before shouting; "Quit yelling at the poor bear! Really, you two should be the ones apologizing, not poor Bepo here! Don't look at me like that! I am talking to you Shachi, Penguin." Penguin looked at Shachi, and Shachi looked at Penguin and they both looked at the girl in front of them. Ivy was mad now but she sighed before reaching up and scratching Bepo behind his ear. "Wait a minute! You're that girl that Captain bid on!" The speaker was Shachi and Ivy froze while on the inside she was thinking, Took ya long enough stupid!
