10th Squad 3rd Seat – Thank you!

Again, I do not own One Piece or any of the characters and plots found in One Piece. I own Rum and other OCs mentioned and original plot, while my sister owns Saké.

On with the story.


Rum POV

Saké and I quickly finished after Law left. I was looking at Bepo while a small smile worked its way on to my face.

He look's so darn adorable, and extremely huggable. I wonder how soft his fur is, I thought to myself.

"Don't even think about doing what you're thinking about doing," Saké directed towards me. I looked and saw she had her cheek in the palm of her hand, elbow propped up on the table. She positioned herself so she was facing me; she had a rather bored expression on her face.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not thinking about doing anything," I said, trying my best to look and sound oh so innocent.

"Sure you don't. You shouldn't act innocent when you're not. Unlike them –" she was pointing at Penguin, Bepo, and finally Shachi "– I can see the broken halo being held up by those horns of yours," Saké said with a small smirk on her face.

"What are you two going on about?" Shachi asked. I glanced at the three of them and saw they had rather confused looks on their faces.

"It's nothing to really worry about," Saké replied. I looked over to Bepo and saw that he had finished his food as well.

"So where do these things go –" she was motioning to her tray "– exactly?" Saké asked.

"I'll show you," Bepo said, getting up. Penguin, Shachi, Saké, and I all followed suit. We walked to the counter area that I saw Law put his tray with dirty dishes on it. We all put our trays on it. I noticed quite a bit of trays were already there. I stood off to the side and observed the room and the people in it. There weren't quite as many people left in the galley. The remaining few, like all the rest, had the signature boiler suite of the Heart Pirates. They also had different types of hats, all in various colors.

Well, it would be safe to assume that the ones who have left also have hats in various types and colors. On another note, I wonder how big this ship's kitchen is. I am going to guess about half the size of the galley, maybe smaller than that. Kitchens don't really have to be gigantic unless they're customized, I thought before being interrupted.

"Well, Captain said to give you two a tour of the ship when you were done eating. Let's get started," Bepo said. Saké and I both looked at him. I gave him a small smile while Saké just nodded.

"Alright, sounds like fun," I said with my grin getting a tad bit bigger.

"Please don't do anything stupid, Rum," Saké said with a sigh.

"I would never!" I exclaimed, Saké just gave me a look that said "Yea, right."

"Well, Penguin and I don't really have anything to do, so we'll join you guys," Shachi said; I eyed his sunglasses.

"Are you sure you're not avoiding doing work?" Saké asked, looking at them.

"No, we really don't have anything to do," Penguin said with a grin.

"Why do you wear sunglasses inside when there is no point, Shachi?" I asked. I just received a shrug for an answer. I noticed Bepo and Saké started walking towards the door – well, door frame since there was no door there in the first place. Shachi, Penguin, and I caught up with them. We all stood in the middle if the corridor so we weren't blocking the doorway of the galley. I looked in Bepo's direction.

"That's the kitchen," he said, pointing at the door that was a few feet from the galley entrance. He then turned around and pointed to a set of double doors. "That is the dojo room," Bepo continued. Saké and I exchanged glances and went to the double doors and opened them and walked inside.

Saké let out a low whistle "This is impressive. I'm surprised at the size of your ship's dojo, seeing as though it's a submarine and all," she said. We then proceeded to walk to the center of the room and take in the details.

It is bigger than I would expect for a sub. Granted, I didn't really expect them to have one. It makes sense, though. They have to stay in shape somehow. I glanced at the walls of the dojo. Wow, this is quite the collection of weapons, though they don't have guns, I thought, studying the walls.

"I know, right? Look at the weapons they have," I said to Saké. I proceeded to walk to a section of the wall opposite of the wall where the doors were located.

These look rather in pressive, I wonder how they would do in a fight, I thought to myself, eyeing the different weapons located on this section of the wall. There were various sizes and widths of daggers.

"Don't touch anything," Saké directed towards me.

"Aaah, why not?" I asked (whined). I turned my head and looked at Saké. She was looking at a section of wall that had a few katana on it.

"You don't need to handle anything that is sharp and pointy. I would rather not deal with what might happen if you did," Saké stated, not removing her gaze from where she was looking.

"You two seem highly impressed," Shachi said.

"I haven't seen a collection of this size before, nor have I seen a collection made up of swords, daggers, short swords, and katana alone," Saké said to him.

"So, yes, we're impressed. By the size of the dojo, I have to bow down to the collection you have. Do you guys ever use any of these weapons?" I asked. I threw a grin at Saké and she smiled back at me.

"Y-you can smile?!" Penguin nearly shouted. Both he and Shachi had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Of course I can smile; I just don't do it often. I am more serious than she ever will be," she said, pointing her thumb at me. "On top of that, I am the oldest and I look out for her. Rum, I would say this dojo is about what have the size of ours back home?" Saké said. I could hear a little sound of annoyance in her voice, which was most likely the cause of Penguin.

Nodding my head "Yea, I would agree with you, sis. Oh, our personalities are polar opposite. So, do you guys use these weapons often?" I asked once more.

"Oh, from time to time we do," Penguin answered.

"We should continue on with the tour of the ship now," Bepo said.

"Alright," I replied. We all filled out of the room and shutting the doors behind us. Bepo once again stopped in the middle of the corridor.

"Would there be any chance that we could use the dojo?" Saké asked.

"You would have to talk with Captain," Bepo said, looking at Saké.

"Why would you want to use the dojo?" Shachi asked.

"Weren't you listening when Law asked us if we could fight at lunch?" Saké said. I gave him a weird look.

"Um, no, I kind of zoned out at some point before that, I believe," Shachi said.

"Well, we can fight. In order to stay in shape and maintain or improve anything in our fighting and strength level, we have to be able to practice, don't we?" Saké said.

"Yea, I suppose so," Shachi said.

"Also, there are a few spare rooms that don't ever really get used, along with the showers and bathrooms, and then the laundry room," Bepo said, pointing to the other end of the corridor. "I'll point them out when we come back this way." And with that being said, he led us in the direction of a set of stairs that went down to the floor beneath this one. We all went down this set of stairs the same we way we went down the first one – single file. It took a few minutes for all of us to get down there.

"This floor has the engine rooms and the barracks where the crew sleeps," Bepo said.

"The barracks are on the left and the engine rooms are on the right," Penguin said.

"Yea, the smell gave away the location of the barracks," I said while scrunching my nose. Saké let out a chuckle. Then it got quiet

"Sooooooo, I like smacking piñatas with sticks," I said out of nowhere. I don't really like silence so I kill it with sound.

"That was random," Shachi said

"How the hell am I related to you?" Saké asked.

"Where the hell did you get piñatas from? Do you see any piñatas around?" Penguin said. I grinned at him.

"Nowhere, I was just killing the silence. I am not very fond of silence. Again, DNA proves we are related, sis," I said. Poor Bepo looked really confused, the poor bear.

"So where to next?" Saké asked.

"Captain said to bring you back to the infirmary once I was giving you a tour of the ship, so back there," Bepo said.

"Wait, what about the navigation room?" I asked.

"You don't have to show us that one, Bepo. She doesn't need to be near anything that if broken would leave us stranded," Saké said.

"Meany! What's the worst I can do?!" I queried angrily, glaring at her.

Bepo let out a small "I'm sorry" but no one heard him.

"Oh, there is a lot you could do, even by accident," Saké said, slapping the back of my head. "So let's head back to the infirmary. If we're done with the tour, that is." Bepo nodded and started heading back up the stairs. We all followed. We got to the floor with the galley and started walking to the other end of the corridor.

"The few spare rooms are on the left and the bathroom and showers are on the right. The laundry room is also on the left," Bepo said, pointing out the rooms that he had mentioned earlier. We got to the set of stairs and started climbing up.

"We're going to head back and check on the engines," Penguin said. They left us and we got to the next floor.

"Bet you they were avoiding doing some work," I said, directing my statement at Saké.

"I wouldn't be surprised at all," she replied with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

"This is where all the medical rooms are located along with the Captain's room – er, office," Bepo said. I didn't really pay attention to what the doors were labeled. He led us back down towards the other end of the corridor and stopped in front of a door that read "INFIRMARY." He proceeded to knock on the door. We heard a faint "come in." We all piled into the room. Law was sitting at the table and he was reading a book on God-knows-what. I couldn't see the cover of the book, but I think it would be safe to assume it was medical book of some form.

"I'm done giving them the tour, Captain," Bepo said.

"Alright, you can go back to what you need to be doing," Law told him "Shut the door behind you."

With that being said, Bepo left, shutting the door behind him. Both Saké and I found something to lean on, which was the wall.

Well, this all very silent. I guess this has to be way more interesting than spending the night at Hera's house. Oh no! Hera was expecting us. We've never failed to let her know when we weren't coming over, even when we got an assignment, I thought as worry began spreading throughout my body

"Oh, shit," I said out of the blue, I could hear the worry in my voice.

"What seems to be the problem Rum–ya? You looked worried," Law said with a smirk that seemed to have worked its way onto his face.

"Hera," I said, trying and failing at hiding my worry. I slid down the wall I was leaning against and I leaned my head back against the wall.

"Hera?" Law asked in response, I heard Saké groan.

"Oh no, that's right. She is probably worried by now, especially since we have never ditched her and not let her know we wouldn't be able to hang out with her. If we ever get back, she is going to murder us," Saké said. I looked over to her and saw she was also sitting down but she had her head in her hands.

"I know, and knowing her she would make it painful. Of all times for something epic to happen, life chose the wrong time. We also won't have to worry about them." I said with a sigh. Saké looked my way.

"I suppose you're right, but it doesn't help much," Saké replied.

"Who is this Hera person? And who is 'them?'" Law asked. Saké and I both snapped our attention back to Law, who had gotten out of the chair he was in and moved to the front of his desk. He was now leaning against it looking at the two of us.

"Hera is one of our greatest friends where we're from. As for who 'them' is, that is a secret and please don't threaten us trying to get an answer," I said. He nodded. "Hera is a bit of a worrier like me, but she is way more violent than I am." Saké nodded in agreement with me. Then she busted out laughing. Law gave her a weird look and I started shaking my head with a small smile on my face.

"And what's so funny, Ms. Saké?" he asked.

"Oh God, of all times for that memory to pop in my head. Rum, remember that day that both you and Hera were mad beyond belief at Jimmy? When he pulled that prank?" Saké asked me as she attempted to control herself.

"Oh God, yes. I don't think I have ever seen that boy run for his dear life like that before or since. He had it coming, too. We were both freaking out, thinking something seriously bad happened to him and his brother," I said.

"What are you two talking about?" Law inquired.

"The time that both Hera and I got extremely violent and beat the hell out of our friend Jimmy and his little brother. He decided that he was going to make it look like something really bad happened when it really didn't and in response to that, my temper got the best of me." Saké snorted at this.

"When does it not get the best of you?" she interrupted.

I gave her a look. "As I was saying, Hera - who normally is a bit violent and also has a temper - snapped and started beating the both of them with the closest thing at hand, which just so happened to be some walking sticks," I finished. Law just stared at me while blinking.

"He learned his lesson after that. He didn't pull that prank on either of them again," Saké said. She had calmed down but was still chuckling.

"What did they do?" Law asked.

"Made us believe he and his brother had both been in a very terrible accident," I said with a small giggle.

"So you beat them both with sticks in response to that? Doesn't that seem a bit extreme?" Law said.

"Meh, I suppose so, but it was way better than me using something like a knife. We broke the walking sticks, though. Their mother didn't pity them at all, which made it even better," I said. I let a small sigh and smiled up at the ceiling, remembering the day that happened.

"I question your sanity sometimes, Rum," Saké said.

"So, can we use the dojo you guys have?" I asked, Law raised his eyebrow.

"Maybe," he responded.

"Well, this sucks. How am I suppose to burn my energy?" I asked.

"You have gone a while without doing any physical training before, so you will not die from the lack of exercise," Saké said with a small sigh.

"Yea, but when I did get back to physical training I had the shit beaten out of me by Mathers, which really sucked and hurt," I said. Saké shook her head. I looked up at Law and saw he was smirking once again.

"You two are very entertaining to watch. Why should I let the two of you use the dojo?" Law inquired, still smirking.

Again, I will probably come to hate that smirk. Well, one can only do so much to get that smirk off his face, I thought.

"Well, then you wouldn't get harassed by an ADHD, slightly insane girl who likes to mess with things she isn't supposed to and causes chaos amongst everyone," I said with a smirk and stood up. Saké stood up a few seconds later.

"Once she gets to that point, I won't help control her. She will be a pain in the ass. If she gets a hold of something she isn't that is important and needs to work, she will most likely do something to cause it not to properly function. Out of the two of us, she is the one with the hardest workout. It keeps her going and burning the excess energy she has, plus she is focused on doing one task. Well, for the most part," Saké said.

"Mhm. I'll think about it. She doesn't seem that hard to handle," Law said, eyeing me, Saké just smirked.

"That's what you think now. Rum isn't exactly as readable as you would think. And trust me, I have seen her worse than what she just said," Saké said, still smirking. She looked in my direction. I smiled and waved.

"She's right. Don't ever judge a book by its cover. Though, for the most part, I tend to be pretty calm compared to most ADHD people. I'm good at keeping myself busy," I said.

"Is there anything else you need to ask us?" Saké inquired, turning her attention back to Law.

"Why won't you tell me how you know all that information? Who taught you to fight and use weapons?" Law asked, frowning a little.

"First thing is if we told you how, you would think we have lost all of our remaining sanity," I said.

"For the second question, we were taught by various people. We were taught by the people who could be considered masters or experts in their areas of fighting," Saké said.

"Why did they train you?" Law asked. Saké and I exchanged glances.

"They saw an opportunity and they jumped right on it so it wouldn't slip away," I said.

"What opportunity?" Law asked.

"The opportunity to train two young girls to be the best of the best, which we are. To gain the upper hand," I responded.

"What caused them to see you two as a chance to get above others?" Law asked.

"Our powers. I can change my appearance at will. It only took me a few years to master it and Rum's ability to obtain and recall information isn't slacking either. Plus we already seemed to know the basics for hand-to-hand combat. They saw we had strength, which showed them we had some form potential," Saké said.

"Interesting," Law said. I yawned a few seconds later.

"Well, I'm tired. Who knew walking could be so tiring," I said with a toothy smile.

"Well, it probably doesn't help you just woke up today. Is there any chance we can have our things back and take showers?" Saké asked Law.

"Oh yea, that would be nice," I said. Law just walked out of the infirmary. I blinked at the door. "He left."

"Thank you, Captain Obvious," Saké said, her voice full of sarcasm.

"You're welcome, Lieutenant Sarcasm," I responded. Then Law walked back in with our bags. I squealed and hopped up to grab my bag. "Thank you."

"Here. If you guys have any weapons hand them over. Your jackets, shoes, socks, and hats are over there by my desk," Law said, pointing in the direction of his desk. We both, however, had already opened our bags.

"We don't have weapons. The people who trained us decided that after an incident that Rum caused, we shouldn't be allowed to permanently have a weapon," Saké said, sending me a glare.

"I told you I was sorry. I even apologized to the guy. So, can we please each take a shower?" I asked Law.

"If you go through that door," he began, pointing at one, "there is a bathroom, which has a shower. You can use that one."

"Alright, thank you," Saké and I both said.

"Either I or one of the crew members will check in on you two in a little while," Law said. He walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

"You can go first if you want, Saké." I said as I pulled out my things. I pulled out my Ziplock bag that had some of my things and saw my iPod. "Yes! I have my iPod!"

"Thank you. I'll try and not take too long. So do I, actually. You put it in your Ziplock bag like I did, right?" Saké asked.

"Yea, I did." I said with a nod. Saké then went to take her shower. After about 45 minutes, she came back out.

"I'm done, you can take a shower now," Saké said. I looked at her and nodded, putting the things I didn't need back in my bag. I got up as Saké came to put her things back in her bag.


Thank you for reading. Please leave reviews and let me know what you think.
