Hi guys

In this chapter the name of the woman will be revealed among other things; you're might going to question why I use a name which already exist in One Piece. The thing is that I wrote this story five to six years ago (now I'm doing an English remake) and back then I didn't know that Oda would use that name. And although I liked that name pretty much I tried to get familiar with another name for my OC, but then I realized that this Name as well exists in the English version, so I'll go with my first choice.

Now let's continue.

Chapter 3: A strange young woman part 2

Just when the rocks came in sight of the group, the young woman woke up and looked upwards to Ace. "LET GO OF ME!" yelled the woman and punched Ace straight in his face.

Ace dropped the woman immediately; she jumped a few meters away from him and got into fighting position.

Zoro and the others turned startled around to Ace and the strange woman and Ace shouted pissed off: "WHAT THE HECK! We were just helping you out!"

"I didn't ask for your help!" the woman snarled venturously and glared hardily at Ace.

"You would be up the creek without us! What is a defenseless girl doing all alone in the desert, anyway!" Ace asked while glaring back.

The woman looked warily to the other people before she answered scrappily: "just shout your moth, you ignorant pirate! I'm by far not as weak as you are!"

"I'm not sure if you ever have heard from Portgas D. Ace, but be aware, I'm nobody you wanna mess with!" Ace talked perilously back with crossed arms.

"Oh man… that sounds not good… they're going to fight…" Usopp stammered in fear, while he hid behind Nami, Chopper and Robin, because Zoro and Sanji were debating as well.

"That's pretty obviously." Robin said in her offish manner.

"I'm not living behind the moon, I know who you are." the woman responded in a calm way but although her voice was low its sound was firmly and frightening. "And still you're not more than a dishonorable criminal." The woman continued icily.

"That's enough! If you wanna fight, that's fine with me!" Ace yelled angrily, because nobody calls him dishonorable without getting a good smacking and he got into attack-position, before he pointed with his index and middle finger at the young woman and shot with his Devil Fruit Powers, "Fire Gun!"

The woman swerved the fire bullets before she ran towards Ace, her hands clenched to fists. Ace concentrated himself so the woman wouldn't have any chance to hit him, but suddenly he flew in pain a few meters, the woman had kicked him into his stomach region. `How is that possible? How comes that she knows Haki?` Ace wondered rubbing his aching stomach, while the woman adjusted her brown gloves. Ace smiled pugnaciously before he jumped on his feet. `I won't use my Devil Fruit powers anymore, just to see who is stronger.` Ace thought before he ran towards the woman holding back his clenched Fist. But before Ace could reach the woman he was interfered when Sanji, whom had been hold back by Zoro, attacked him from the side.

Ace stopped and parried the kick without getting harmed. Sanji looked madly at Ace who seemed a bit puzzled. "I won't allow you to hurt this beautiful…" Sanji started but then he suddenly was punched by the woman.

"DON'T INTERRUPT MY FIGHT!" the woman yelled aggressively, while Sanji flew back to Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Robin.

Ace and the woman exchanged blows, `Weird, before her kick was so powerful and now suddenly she's fighting on low flame.` Ace thought, while he made himself ready to hit her inferior the ribs, but she just swerved adroitly his fist. The woman cocked her right arm to chop her flat hand down to hit Ace, but he parried. Ace tried to punch into the woman's face, but he failed, because she ducked down and kicked at his legs. Ace lost his footing, but while he was falling he finally managed to hit the standing woman at her wounded stomach. The woman griped at the back of Ace' head and she knocked her knee into his face, before she jumped some meters away from him into fighting position.

The wounded woman breathed heavily while she watched angrily at Ace who struggled to get back on his feet, just when Sanji ran him over, screaming with heart-shaped eyes: "Oh my beloved Lady, are you alright?"

While Sanji ran towards the woman, Nami went to Ace to keep him away from attacking the woman: "Ace what's got into you, I thought you're less immature than Luffy." Nami appealed to Ace adult calm side.

"Nami, she pricked on my pirate pride!" Ace explained his flare while the woman punched Sanji away from her.

"Pirates and pried, don't make me laugh…" the woman mumbled on propose loud enough so that Ace could hear it.

While Ace forced himself to calm a bit down Nami asked calmly: "Do you even know pirates?" while she thought: 'she don't know us at all, that's probably why she's acting like this…'

"I know pirates well enough to know that every pirate is a brutal ruthless hustler and that the world would be better off without them…" the woman said calm but in her voice was still an aggressive undertone.

"How do you know that we are pirates anyway?" Zoro asked before Nami could ask another question.

"Only pirates can be that stupid to walk offside the path through the desert." The woman answered dismissively.

"But you walk offside the path, as well" Ace said in a know-it-all manner.

"I'm living for over ten years in the desert, I know exactly in which hunting district I'm in." the woman responded icily while she fixed her cold gaze on Ace.

"OH MY GOSH! We're in a hunting district!" Usopp screamed panicking and jumped on Zoros arms before he was knocked out by Zoro.

"Why are you living in a dangerous area?" Nami started another try to defuse the situation.

"That's not your business, pirate girl!" the woman said bitterly.

"It's pretty obvious that my name isn't Pirate girl" Nami said with a crocked smile, "My name's Nami, I'm the navigator of our ship, that love-sick fellow you just knocked out is Sanji our ship cook; the dude with the three swords who interrupted me is Zoro" she gave him a short glare before she continued to introduce the rest of the group, "the long-nosed guy is Usopp our cannoneer and wannabe vice captain ("EY!" Usopp screamed sharply); the other woman with the hat is an archeologist, she's called Robin; Chopper the reindeer is our doctor, he ate ones from a Devil Fruit, and Ace isn't a member of our crew he just accompanies us for a while. We are on the way to Selvanio to bring some nutrition to Eqrado the town we came from."

"And how is your name?" Robin asked calm while approaching Nami, because she noticed that the woman, although she still didn't change her fighting position, heard Nami out.

"Kid" the woman answered still cold, but Nami and Robin could swear that she was a bit calmer than before.

"Your parents really do hate you!" Ace provoked Kid again.

"And your father sure took up your name while playing cards!" Kid gave Ace callously back.

"I think your name is wonderful Kitty~Kid!" Sanji said dancing around, before Nami hit him, "I love you when you're mad Nami~chan…" Sanji mumbled on the ground while Ace and Kid glared at each other.

"Could you please just stop insult each other!" Nami said a bit tense.

"I'm curious what are you doing in the desert?" Robin asked sedately.

"right now I'm as well on the way to Selvanio for the same reason as you are…" Kid explained again a bit harsher with crossed arms.

"So we have the same goal, so please shake hands and let's team up!" Nami said keenly to Ace and Kid.

"forget it, I don't shake a dirty pirate's hand" Kid denied dismissively.

"You know what, I'm getting more and more pissed of about you, so do us all a favor and just get lost!" Ace said rudely.

"With the greatest pleasure!" Kid said sardonically and hit the road.

"Wait, can't you at least tell us, what kind of creatures we're going to deal with!" Nami yelled worried after Kid, but she didn't seem to care.

"Oh my precious Nami, you don't have to be afraid, I will protect you!" Sanji said thrilled.

"There he's right, we don't need an iffy shrew to get along!" Ace said.

"People, I think we should look after Luffy otherwise there will be nothing left of our provision!" Zoro interposed and so they went towards the rocks.

Meanwhile Kid went a dune upwards she was still upset and thought nasty things like: `what a bloody jerk!` or `I feel kinda dirty?`. When she reached the top of the sand dune she started to look around to find direction. That's when Kid saw something: there were some holes in the sand farther down always four parallel running on each side. Kid knew instantly to which creature those footprints belong, then she realist that the footprints were running into the same direction she came from. `Shall I leave those pitiful pirates unwarned behind?` she asked herself callously, while she turned around and saw that a huge spider was creeping up on those people, who didn't even realized their miserable situation. `Why do I even bother…` she thought in cold bloood when she turned back, should she really be that mean, to people she barely knew? She made up her mind quickly.

Meanwhile the rocks came closer and closer to the group's sight. "YO PEOPLE WATCH OUT!" Zoro and the others heard Kid yelling.

"That's great! You want to come with us!" Nami asked happily and turned around, "WAHH! A GIGANTIC SPIDER!" Nami screamed panicking.

"WHAT A SPIDER! WAHH!" screamed Sanji in angst while he turned around to see the black monstrous Spider which managed to sneak up pretty closely to the group; Usopp just fainted when he and the others turned around.

"You're screaming like a girl, man it's just a big Spider." Zoro sneered about Sanji reaction.

"SHOUT UP!" Sanji screamed angrily.

The spider turned around and threw a white gooey liquid towards the group that was when things happened quickly.

"Step back, I'll take care of it!" Ace said cool with an unfazed expression on his face as he pulled back his flaming fist; he flicked his fist towards the Spider.

"FIRE FIST!" Ace yelled when the Flames burst into a fire storm which flew towards the spider net.

"ARE YOU INSANE?" Kid yelled in the same moment when Ace released his attack before she changed the direction to run around the spider, while the Flames burned the spiders net and still flew towards the Spider.

The spider again turned around to face the firestorm, but before it could move away it already was hit by the flames.

"Run! People!" Kid yelled when she ran towards the group; the Straw Hat pirates did as they were told, but Ace didn't give a shit, he wouldn't take any orders from a shrew.

"KYA!" Nami, Lysop and Chopper screamed when suddenly the Spider exploded and a greenish liquid splashed through the air.

Kid jumped on Ace, who still didn't seem to be impressed about what was going on, while the greenish liquid flew towards him. Just when he was about to build up a heat haze Kid jumped on him to get him away from his feet; the two rolled through the sand, while the greenish liquid hit the ground. The liquid corroded the sand and it created a big sinkhole with the rest of the acid like liquid.

"What the heck are you doing?" Ace asked harshly while he and Kid stopped rolling.

"Why on earth didn't you do what I said? You dumbass!" Kid asked furiously while she pushed herself away from Ace

"Oi Ace, are you alright?" Zoro asked while he and the rest of the Straw Hat pirates ran towards those two.

"You heartless bastard! The lady's way more important!" Sanji yelled at Zoro and they started to fight.

"I'm glade both of you are okay!" Chopper said exhausted, "the acid seems pretty strong."

"Which acid you mean?" Ace asked.

"Those spiders have a poison gland, the poison becames by fire contact an acid" Kid explained with her arms crossed.

"But why did the Spider explode in the first place?" Usopp asked.

"the acid is as well fire-sensitive ." Kid answered pettishly, for her this was obvious.

"I guess I should thank you" Ace said while he scratched the back of his head, "so thanks!" and he held out his hand.

Kid just stared inimically at Ace' hand, she made no move to shake his hand. "I think you should also apologize, Ace…" Nami tried to conciliate.

"Alright, Alright I know what's proper…" Ace said bugged, "I'm Sorry for insulting you before."

"Sorry, as well for making fun of your name!" Kid said with still crossed arms, while Ace gnashed his teeth, "I believe now we're quit… bye" Kid said before she passed the seven pirates by.

"Come on Kid could you please come with us, we don't know this area at all!" said Nami.

"Yeah please we almost died, so please come with us!" Usopp said in angst.

Kid just wanted to give them a harsh answer when suddenly a shout from the rocks was heard.

"HELP IT'S SO HOT!" Luffy yelled

I know this chapter was a bit all over the place, but it will get the plot further, I hope you understand most of it. Those who want to know about my second idea for Kids name, ask in a review along with your opinion about the fan fiction so far.
