On the Brink of Evil drabble OC one piece- Ava
Ava stood in the poorly held together cabin made of wooden boards and rusty nails. Multiple tables lined with long white table clothes and variously colored powders, some newspapers and measuring cups lingering. A room full of thugs, irritation rose in her throat and she resisted letting out a growl. A thick switch blade pressed close to her throat , unamused pine green eyes poured into a malicious grin. Five other pirates stood around the two, low laughter and matching blades in their pockets, she was sure. She stood rigidly still, hands flat against her sides.
" You really thought….a solo pirate like you could take on our base?! You must be crazy bitch! " More laughter from the crowd, some full out cackling at her audacity to trespass into their grounds, alone no less. She wanted so badly to slide a small smile onto her face, but held back, if only because she was slightly interested in what the fool would say next.
After finishing his own laughter he looked into her eyes with determination and his grin turned to a smirk, his blade pressing closer till it drew some blood. Ava never flinched, her glare hardening slightly.
" Who sent you?"
Although they were about the same height, she felt as if she were looking down at the thug, disinterest dancing in her deep orbs. She decided to humor them, letting out in a low tone. " Mr. 0." Their eyes widened and the laughter died down, the blade wielder letting out a low "Che." Then the grin was back with his never ending confidence,and the blade that had been lowered lightly was pressed with more force than before, and then necessary. A small trail of blood now feel from Ava's neck as he harshly questioned further.
" Yeah? Tell that crazy boss of yours, they picked the wrong people to mess with. We work for someone higher than that number , he was a fool for sending you." The blade wiedler was but a second from twisting the blade and plunging it to her neck. But Ava had enough. Did he just give her an order? Oh fuck no.
A tan hand reached out, grabbing the arm with the knife in a steel grip, her sleeve that was lowered to her fingers finally being pulled back in the movement, showing the dark bone-enhancing tattoo's on the lean long fingers tracing back to her knuckles and disappearing in her sleeve. Shock momentarily took over him, then he lifted his other hand in a fist and brought it to her face. Her other hand flew out and caught it easily far before it reached her, and she let a low smirk on her face as she leveled the arms at distance from her, watchign with a small joy as the thug could do nothng but watch with wide eyes as his arms were completely overpowered in her thin wrists.
Quickly, she brought up a knee ahd caught the man in the gut, dropping him. He fell to the floor sputtering blood through clenched teeth, arms gripping his sides. She watched him for a moment, a low menacing chuckle escaping her.
" You have a Message for my boss…Do I look like a messanger to you..?" Too stunned by the scene the others had no time to react, their stupified gaze still on theri crumpled comrade as a kick was lashed out to his side angrily, murderous eyes glaring down at him and a small frown on the girls face, her striped hood shadowing one of her eyes. She hissed out one last thing to the man.
" Don't ever try to order me around again, It might cost you your life."
The others sprang into action, jumping her all at once, hidden weapons and fists raised high. She merely raised her gaze to them, eyes now much dimmer and less amused then before…..but a small smile was in place. She simply raised one small hand, a black flame like glow that clouded it like darkness encasing it, the mutter of some words…..
" Black-out."
