THOUGHTS
Even though I turned down Smoker, he insisted I kept the baby toys and flowers since they already had been payed for. Since it was nearing the end of the night, I decided to go on a quick hunt. I left Vincent with Smoker, knowing he would watch him with care.
I looked up as I heard rustling in the shadows. I noticed it was my 'prey' and they were looking at me lecherously. Well, it was obvious what they wanted. I am a woman and it is clearly a rapist.
I sneered at it. I couldn't believe Smoker hasn't found this guy yet! I went to reach for my commission gun but realized it wasn't where I last left it. Guess I'll have to fight hand to hand.
Looking at them carefully, I sharpened nails, waiting for them to make their move. When they came in range of my attacks, I swiped my nails across his chest, creating an arc of blood.
He dropped to the floor unconscious. Another guy popped out of nowhere and pulled out a gun. He shot out three bullets and I swayed side to side dodging all three. I ran up to him quickly and stole his gun. I butted his head with it and turned to another guy who had been trying to dragged the first guy I knocked unconscious away. I fired at him in the shoulder as he tried to pull out a sword, causing it to clatter to the ground.
I grabbed the rope that I snagged on the way out of the base to tie up the criminals up with. I pulled them tight and slung the 'prey' over my shoulder.

"That was useful" I said to myself and quickly checked my stats. I had 6 hearts on Smoker and 7 on Vincent. I guess my rejection caused him to drop a heart or two but i don't know if I was his long time love or not. I smiled sadly and went to commission that tri-barrel gun.

I smiled at the shopkeeper as he handed over a gun and a bulk of specialized ammo in exchange for 3 million beli. Thanking him, I left the shop and thought about what I should be doing but ended up looking through my journal.

I was starting to get pretty strong, now that I was properly looking at my stats. All of a sudden, I froze, noticing I was missing Vincent. I quickly opened up my diary to see what I had missed.
DIARY
Entry 2
Well, the hunt went good but a blackout began. I have plenty of hunts in reserve to do so I'll be okay. Smoker is an awesome babysitter so I'll leave Vincent with Smoker until my hunts are cleared. I commissioned a gun and ammunition and it is going to cost me a quite a bit so I'm gonna collect it while the guy makes it.
Entry 3
I have cleared out my hunts and was somehow helping an old man keep his bar open. I had visited Vincent earlier before I had picked up my gun. He is now being babysat with Tashigi's. The Straw Hat pirates are due to come in today so all is good. Thankfully, the Blackout has ended.
I closed my diary, sighing in relief knowing where Vincent was. I looked at the map in the corner of my vision and noticed it was a dot system.

I took a minute to memorize the markers for the map and I took note of the harbor before heading back to the marine base to pick up Vincent. The skill shop was on the way to the harbor so I'll see if I can pick up a master chief skill or something. I'm sure Vincent will appreciate the practice later but I want to enter that cooking contest so I can meet Sanji (who was someone I had a crush on for quite a while now).
Walking by a shop window, I laughed out loud. I was completely covered in black. I had a cloak that went mid-thigh (that was very fitted) but it was closer to a hooded dress than a cloak. It had a veil where the opening should be to prevent sunlight from burning my skin and leather gloves, pants and knee high leather cowgirl boots. My seastone rod was slung over my back. A complete vampire outfit, if I do say so myself.
I walked along the dirt road, singing a song as each word come to my head like a poem.
The storm blows deep in my heart
Injustices all around, breaking me
Blood and death will be my part
Justice is my mission and I am hunting you
Bloody Huntress is my name
Bounty Hunting is my game
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you."
The mess of fighting started to slow to a stop as soon as the words started echoing through the courtyard and turned to the source me. I had on my female Vincent Valentine outfit so I think I looked pretty intimidating. My gun Cerberus in my left hand and my seastone rod in my other over my shoulder although the effect was probably ruined by Vincent crying and sniffling in his steel carrier on my back. "YOU PIRATES ARE SCARING CHILDREN INCLUDING MINE! You'll pay for that. Your heads are MINE."
I ran to the docks those blasted pirates got away but I was giving chase or that is what I was telling smoker and the marines. I left before they insisted that they were going to watch my kid. I was going to bring my kid with me because I can't leave my kid behind permanently or else my depression status effect will kick in. I looked out into the storm and smiled.
Mirror ball island seemed a nice place even if the straw hats and jango pretty much destroyed my enjoyment after my second day by destroying the dome and letting the light in. I'm happy I had a habit of wearing my cape otherwise I'd be dust instead of 2nd degree burns on my hand and chin. Time Line or not Jango's bounty is mine. It will pay for my medical bills.
