The young woman stared at the wooden wall. It was slightly getting green because of the moisture. The room was dark and there was only one small window to light it. Leah knew that she wasn't lock in the lowest part of the boat. The room seemed a little too small to be the place where he locks the prisoner. The door was to her right about seven feet away from where she was. A small desk badly paints in dark gray was placed to the wall across the door, right below the window. Since the desk was right beside her, she could see that there were a few papers. She red what it said and she was surprised that no one cared to put the papers in a safer place. The papers on the desk were a few pages from a diary. The paper was old. So old it was starting to have a yellowish color. She continued reading with eyes wide open thinking about how careless Jack was. If only she didn't have those handcuffs, she would take the papers and leave. But it was useless. That's was she didn't struggle to get the shackles off. It was easy to imagine a bed right where the "cage" was. But, seeing how dirty the room was, she thought that the crew didn't keep prisoner. Leah didn't know who's room it was, but she didn't mind it. In fact, she was happy to see that it wasn't that bad. There was even a window. So, it wasn't the worst place she has been. For a moment, she praised the captain... Not out loud, of course. Also, he surely isn't as brainless as most of the pirates on this sea. Well, beside the papers he left on the desk... But still, he learned his lesson with the food. Each time he came to feed the girl, Jack never wasted his time to poison the food. Still, he wasn't dumb. He knew she would try to escape eventually. So he never gave her the right amount of food to actually gain some strength.

The 19 years old girl hummed to herself wearing a little smile. If the room would look like a normal bedroom, then no one would suspect her to be locked in. From the look of it, she almost seemed happy because of the smile on her face. But Jack knew her. It was his special power after all. Though, it wasn't a devil fruit. It was just an innate power he had to know a person through their eyes. And she cursed it. A lot. Because even if she could suppress her feeling, she was a human. And she had emotions, even if they were buried deep inside of her, she had them. But suddenly, the peaceful silence was disturbed by the noise made on the deck.

In the meantime, Jack was in his room. He was sitting in his chair, his feet on the desk thinking about the next phase. Meeting Leah at Avalon wasn't in his plan. He didn't even imagine he would see her. But, now, it didn't matter. She was there, and the chance of leaving the ship alive was zero. His red eye was glued to the ceiling when someone knocked on the door.

"It isn't lock."

He glance to his left for a second just to catch a glimpse of light brown hair. It was Daniel. Just by looking his troubled face, the captain knew what was bothering his first mate. His green eyes were like an open book. He was easy to read read.

"What do you plan to do with the girl."

He clearly didn't like the girl. But, since he wasn't the captain, he couldn't lay a finger on her. And the orders were clear, no one was allowed to touch the 'princess' or they might be the one in the cage. Daniel sat on the bed looking at his captain, waiting the answer. He was very troubled by the relationship the two of them had. After all, Jack never told him about his past. Though, he did mention something about his former crew and that he lost his eyes, but he didn't talk about the responsible of that. So when the crew heard about the prisoner, many of them were slightly uncomfortable. Sometimes, some of the crew members tried to know a little more about the girl, but the captain never said a word. A deep sigh came from the captain before saying,

"I'm a pirate. When I want something, I take it."

Well, that didn't really help. Then, at this point, it was more than obvious that he didn't want to answer. Oh well, if he wouldn't answer then, there must be a reason, right ? All he should do is believe in him. Daniel walked to the deck to breath a little. Everything was so messed up. He didn't understand anything. But, he wasn't the only one. All the crew was asking questions. So he decided to find the answer. But, for the moment, he couldn't. Almost all the crew was outside, looking at the Marine ship moving forward. Most of the pirates had their weapons in their hands waiting for the other ship to be closer. It was only a matter of time before chaos exploded on both ships. Taking this moment of diversion, the brown haired man went to the room where Leah was.

The door was open carefully and the young woman stared at the intruder. She smirked a little and look at him in the eyes. She wasn't scared of him. Even if he didn't want to show it, he is soft. And he can't hide very well his emotions. Just by the look of it, Leah could already tell that he just started his life as a pirate. It was still a mystery that Jack took him as his first mate. But, she was sure that if he knew that she was a Whitebeard pirate, he would be shaking right now. He walked silently in the room, trying to be as quiet as possible and sat on the chair. She was smiling at him while he looked at her with hatred.

"So, what do you want ?"

She was obviously trying to get under his skin, but he, amazingly, stayed calm. Though, it wouldn't take much before he could break.

"Answers. What is the relationship between you and the captain ?"

Cold and short. Just like the first mate of Sinner's dawn. For a second, she could imagine them getting along quite easily.

"If you're asking me this, it means that the captain didn't want you to find out."

She was playing with fire. And she knew it perfectly well. But she didn't mind it. All she was doing was pushing him to the edge... And it worked pretty well for the moment. She was still smiling to Daniel innocently making him angrier by the second. He stood up and was about to open the cell when she said,

"Now, you shouldn't do that. Captain-san would be pretty angry at you. He might even kill you."

But he ignored the comment and went against his order. He grabbed Leah by the neck, lifting her to his height and punch her in the stomach. The punch was strong, but not enough to knock her down. She coughed a little before blood poured out. But she was still smiling. He was so angry, he threw her on the wall with all his force. The moment she hit the wall, they heard the wood creak.

"Now, that wasn't wise, first mate-san."

He kicked her once more, exactly where one of her injuries was. She bite her lips from the pain, but she cough some blood once again. He took her by the hair and bent to her level before asking one more time,

"What is your relationship with the captain."

She smirked again, ready to say the exact same thing before an angry red-eyes captain interrupt them. His eye was shade by is white hair. And at this moment, Daniel knew he was screwed.

"What. The. Hell. Are. You. Doing."

I do not own One piece. Just my O.C

I tried really hard to do it all with the third person. But, I think I'll won't be able to do it after all. I can't say I'm happy with what I wrote, but I maybe the next chapter will be better.
