Hey Every one sorry that I didn't post a chapter for that long, but I hope you're still interessted in that story!

Chapter 11: Selvanio part 3

"I have sight of the group but our target isn't with them… how shall we proceed?" A man said in low voice into his Transponder Snail; he was standing in the shadow of a house and was watching the Straw Hat Pirate and Ace leaving the tavern.

"So she did notice you and Sandro leaving the tavern… stay tuned to them I'm sure they will meet up again." Came the answer from the Transponder Snail. "Any sign from Sandro yet?" transmitted the Transponder Snail.

"Not since we split. It is…" started the man but he couldn't complete his sentence, because he felt a sting on his neck before he collapsed and lost consciousness.

"What is going on?!" the Transponder Snail yelled before she was smashed by someones' foot.

While Nami tried to guide the group back to the entrance of the city, also Zoro noticed that some people followed them. When they entered a small alley Sanji suddenly asked in a low voice: "Am I imagening stuff or are we followed by some people over and over."

"No shit, Sherlock!" Zoro teased Sanji.

"Looking for trouble, moss head?!" Sanji insulted loudly back.

"Please stop making trouble, we already have enough problems…" muttered Usopp pre-tiered. (Because he knew they would have an even longer walk back to the house then before now, that Kid was missing and it already affected him)

"Where is that woman who had been with you in the restaurant earlier?" asked suddenly a deep frightening voice, which caused Usopp to stay with weak knees right behind Luffy and Ace while Chopper hid behind a barrel. (Or better said just his right hoof while the rest of his body was still be seen)

"Who is that?!" Usopp asked worried, still trying to act brave looking upwards where the voice was heard from.

"What do you want from Kid?" Luffy asked defiantly because he noticed now as well that he and the others had been surrounded.

"She has to deleverage some debts." Said a cloaked man, he was standing on the roof of a house.

"That doesn't sound like Kid to me…" Robin whispered while Sanji stood protective in front of her and Nami; for her it always seemed that Kid wanted to be independently

"She's no longer accompanying us," Ace said factually before his voice added more urgently, "So you better let us pass if you don't want trouble."

"Schahaha haven't you noticed yet that you are surrounded by my men!" laughed the cloaked man.

"WHAT WE ARE SURROUNDED?!" Usopp screamed in shock when suddenly something came falling from above and landed next to Usopp, what caused him almost a panic attack when he saw that it were two bodies.

"What are you? The head idiot?" a more familiar voice was heard from above.

"Kitty~Kid, you're back!" Sanji burst out joyfully when he and the others caught sight of Kid, who was sitting on the roof vis-à-vis of the house on which the cloaked man had been standing; her left ankle was lying on her knee while she was bent over with folded hands, and a pugnacious smile was on her lips.

"You haven't noticed that I put more then half of your men out of action?" Kid demanded, who seemed somehow stiff, even though her voice and her posture spook the opposite, "If I were you Chopper I would hide somewhere else, because right behind the mural to your right side are standing five men..." Kid mentioned parenthetically when she jumped from the roof and leaned with arms crossed against the wall, After Chopper jumped in the air he hid behind Zoro who had his hand already on one of his katana.

"Schahahaha so you finally came to square your debts!" The cloaked man interpreted Kids' sudden appearance.

"I don't know about any debts of mine." Kid said indifferently.

Suddenly the cloaked man raised his hand and showed his palm to Kid and the rest of the group revealing a scar: two Vs crossed each other but one of it was upside down (it looked almost like a diamond with longer ends). "Your father made sure that you would never forget our sign.", The man said mercilessly when he saw Kid's eyes narrowing, "He told us that if he wouldn't be capable of paying the 40 million Berries he "borrowed" from us back within four years that you would undertake his debts. The deadline is already since more than 7 years over! I'm sure I don't have to mention the interests and the compound Interests" finally the man exposed his face, by putting back his hood; on his face were even more scars the same symbol as on his hand.

`Somehow this man remembers me of someone…` it sprang in Zoros' mind and he gave Nami a stealthy glance. As compared to Luffy and Sanji, who were both thrilled because Kid came back, Nami was dreaming about the cartloads of money the cloaked man was talking about and what she would do with it. While Usopp and Chopper where just afraid as chickens Robin looked interested at the marks on the mans' face. Ace seemed to be the only one who was attentively, not because he was afraid, but he happened to hear Kid snarling under her breath disparagingly: "That bastard…"

After another man jumped down the roofs to the mans' side he said: "Boss we changed up positions, now she has no chance to escape!"

"I claim what is due to me…", said the man contentedly and added sinisterly, "And if you don't cooperate we have to use force."

"Listen up, she don't have any money, she was so kind to buy us something to eat. We didn't know she owes you money!" Luffy said jauntily while Usopp was pulling on his coat because he wanted to spotlight that there appeared also three other gestalts from behind the mural.

"Oh that's no problem for us", said the boss leering at Kid, while even more people appeared on the roofs, "We don't want money from her anyway, her father said she would pay us in kind." The boss explained with a smirk and licked over his lips.

When Luffy and the other Straw hats heard that they got more intently; Sanji pulled Nami and Robin closer to Kid before he and Zoro, who had his hand on his sword, stood before them and encircled them with Luffy and Ace, still with crossed arms but strained muscles. Nami took out her bo-staff and Robin crossed her arms before her breast. Even Usopp took out his slingshot and Chopper grasped on a rumble ball in his pocket but they made sure that they would stay close to Luffy and Zoro. Luffy was very angry and pointed with his index finger at the boss and yelled: "I want Kid to become a member of my crew! I won't let you eat her!"

There was a moment of awkward silence before Luffys words stroke the rest of the straw hats, Ace and Kid down to the ground, even the boss and the other enemies gave Luffy a bewildered look.

"Guys, that's not part of your business, that's a matter among them and me" Kid said disapprovingly while she stood up her narrowed eyes still fixed on the boss, "So you'd better back off!"

All Straw hats turned their heads to Kid, Ace on the other hand looked with a risen eyebrow to the boss and the other man and said with a grin: "You are some lucky bastards, otherwise you'd have me to struggle with." then he said across his shoulder, all eyes of the straw hats were on him, "Let's keep going guy's, if Kid wants to take them down on her own, it's her decision!"

"Well the rest of you is of course free to leave!" said the boss.

"But..." Nami began urgently when she saw Ace nodding unobtrusively to the roof where some figures had been gathering, ready to strike.

"Ace's right Kid knows what she's doing." Zoro said after he saw Robin nodding as well in the same direction as Ace did.

Just when Luffy and Sanji wanted to protest (Luffy because he didn't wanted to let the fight slip through his fingers and Sanji because he didn't wanted to leave Kid behind with those men) Ace and Zoro put their hands over Luffys' and Sanjis' mouths and tugged the two with them. "I guess you're right." Nami said slowly and she gave Chopper and Usopp who seemed both a bit confused by the sudden mood change a nudge to tell them `just go with it`

"All right let's get out of her!" Usopp said in a relieved manner.

"Are you sure, she'll be alright?" Chopper asked worriedly to Usopp, even though Kid had a frightening vibe, Luffy seemed having faith in her friendship and so Chopper wouldn't doubt on it either.

"You'd be better worried for them, because I won't get easy on them!" Kid said with a pugnacious and confided grin on her face cracking her knuckles, "Yo 20 greenhorns on the other side of the roof you'd better stand out of the battle, because I dislike fighting people who are so far away from matching my strength." Kid yelled up to the roof.

"Oi I'd never leave my helpless Kitty-Kid behind!" Sanji started to protest after he bite in Zoros' hand but he got whacked by Zoro and Kid before he and Luffy, who still wouldn't want to miss the fight were dragged away by Zoro and Ace while the rest followed them.

"Kitty-Kid what an endearing nickname" smirked the boss, while he and his man let the Straw Hats and Ace pass.

"Kid, give them hell!" Nami cheered Kid on after she stopped and turned around before she and the rest of the Straw hats and Ace walked away.

The group walked composedly away (except for Zoro and Ace, who were still jerking Sanji and Luffy with them) while Chopper and Usopp pulled and pushed the carriage away. When they came to a cross road and they were sure they weren't fallowed they took the right road, as soon as they were out of sight of Kid and the strangers they left the carriage behind and started to run while explaining the plan to Luffy and Sanji.

Luffy still was upset about the fact that he couldn't fight but Sanji seemed a bit relieved by the fact that Kid would get some backup. When the group saw some gestalts on top of a roof waiting for their boss to give them instructions, Luffy stretched his arms and griped one of them only to smash him into four others of them. Before the others on the roof could even turn around Zoro, Sanji and Ace jumped on the roof and sliced, kicked and burned them. Luffy meanwhile gripped Nami, Usopp and Chopper and catapulted himself and them to the chimney on the roof. Nami, Usopp and Chopper who had closed their eyes while they flew through the air now clung to the chimney their eyes still closed in fear. "Shoot we are too late!" Luffy complained what caused Sanji to run up to him in worries.

"No way, Kid can't be gone!" Sanji said when he reached Luffy, Nami and Usopp.

Sanji eyed to the street in front of them and saw that Kid already defeated all enemies except their boss.

When Kid looked up to the boss she said: "stop letting your minions fight your battles!"

"Don't you think you should not be too confident, Kitty-Kid!" said the boss while he took of his cloak of and revealed almost a dozen weapons. He almost had everything on him from two sais (stabbing weapons, which look a bit like a trident, they are used in certain asian fight styles) to some shuriken (ninja misiles), he even had a ferric-chain with a knife at the end strapped on his chest.

Kid didn't seem to be impressed at all when the boss took out the two sais and ran towards. When one of the other men stood up too and started to ran towards Kid as well Sanji run downwards the roof, he wanted to be the brave rescuer who jumped right in front of his beloved to saver her. But just when Sanji jumped down from the roof gutter Kid bent forward and pushed herself with her Hands from the ground to twist herself around. The two opponents fell both to the ground, because they were hit by Kids legs and Kid kicked Sanji back to the roof while she jumped back on her feet. "How often should I tell you, that I'm fighting my own battles, SO STAY OUT OF THEM!" Kid shouted, after she turned around upwards while Chopper went concerned to Sanji who landed on top of the roof.

While the other man was knocked out the Boss jumped up to his feet and ran with risen sais, ready to stab Kid, who still didn't face him. When the sais spear through Kids shoulders Kid started to smile pugnaciously and she said in her dangerous calm way: "Thank you very much!"

"For what are you thanking me?" the boss asked arrogantly.

Suddenly everything went quickly, Kid ran towards the house wall and run it two big steps upwards before she jumped behind him. She gripped his arms from below and twisted them around, before she made him stab himself through the neck (the sais where crossing each other like an X).

"Therefore that you did exactly what I wanted and let me kill you without hesitation." Kid whispered to the boss who looked totally shocked, before she cut through his neck by pulling the sais away from her.

Blood splashed out of the wound before the boss sunk to the ground. When the straw hats and Ace came down from the roof Nami and Usopp shrieked because they saw the blood on the wall and on the ground around the boss.

Kid walked to the boss and turned him around to check that he was definitely dead she kneed down and closed his eyes before she took away his ferric-chain.

"What are you doing, aren't you ashamed?" Ace asked when he saw Kid putting the ferric-chain around herself.

"I only defended myself!" Kid answered calm.

"That's not the point!" Ace said harshly, "you are stealing from a dead man; I thought you have your principles!"

"I paid him respect; therefore I take something from him." Kid explained like it was totally obvious for her, before she said to the others "We'd better go, it won't last long till the police arrive."

"W…what is with the rest of them? D… did you kill them as well?" Chopper wanted to know even when he was afraid to hear the answer.

"If you want to you can check but they are just unconscious." Kid said calm when she stood up and walked towards the others.

"Really?" Chopper asked confused.

"Yes, they are." Kid said plain, "Let's go back to the house!" Kid added while she passed the group.

Luffy started following Kid without hesitation but then somebody grabbed his ankle. Luffy stopped and turned around looking down one of the defeated men who seemed to be in pain.

"You are pirates aren't you?" the man pressed the words out.

"Yes, we are and I'm gonna be King of the pirates!" Luffy introduced his goal.

"you probably won't if you follow that evil demon." The man panted as he coughed in pain, "she's a crazy killer; she killed dozens of pirates at the age of 15 !"

As Usopp and Chopper clutched in fear at each other Nami looked worried in Robins direction while Zoro, Sanji and Ace stared down to the man "So take my advice and run off as long as you can."

Suddenly Luffy leaned forward with an earnest face, he grabbed the man's head and sad imitating Kids terrifying calm voice. "I don't care about some ones past, she's a friend of mine and that's all I have to know, so you better watch your words."

"You're gonna regret it; she's a monster!" the man snarled.

"She's a monster? That's sounds so cool!" Luffy said suddenly thrilled and let go of the man's head as he jumped up on his feet to run after Kid.

"Oi, Oi you really aren't as intimidating as Kid!" Zoro commented on Luffys imitations before he followed his Capitan as well as Sanji, Robin and Ace, "common guys don't be afraid, you know you can't argue with his decisions anyway" he added as he realized that Nami, Usopp and Chopper were still concerned.

"I…I'm not afraid I just wanted to comfort Chopper!" Usopp said trying to overplay his fear.

"If Usopp's not afraid I will follow Kid as well!" Chopper said trying to make a brave face while Luffy caught up with Kid

"Kid I heard you are a monster did you eat a devil fruit as well, comon show me your monster form!" Luffy requested exidetly.

"You wanna know something… Come a little closer so I can tell you a secret…" Kid said surprisingly good-humored showing Luffy with a gesture to come nearer to her. As Luffy approached Kid, she placed a hand on his earlobe and pulled it towards her. "You're such an annoyance!" Kid said loudly and clearly after Luffy howled in pain before she let go of is earlobe so it swung back and Luffy fell to the ground.

As Nami saw how Kid interacted with Luffy she had to giggle a bit before she approached them, Kid wouldn't harm them.

"That wasn't a good secret!" Luffy said a bit sulky.

"Lets keep going otherwise the police will show off!" Kid explaind, "Come on the sooner we go the sooner Sanji can cook supper" Kid added as she saw that Luffy didn't move at all.

`Some how Kid seems to be less strung up then before, maybe she trusts us now.` Nami thought gladly as Luffy get up on his feet to ran ahead.

"Luffy Stop it, you don't know the way!" Nami yelled annoyed, "He's such a ding-dong." She mumbled frustrated as the group ran after Luffy. It didn't took long till Kid caught up with Luffy and stopped him by pulling at his earlobe. Again Luffy howled in pain while the rest closed the gap on them.

Kid took again over the lead and guided the group back to the wall of the city without making a detour. The group remaind silent, but when the group exited the city Usopp finally plucked up the courage to ask the question which was in his mind since the man told them that Kid was a killer: "Kid, did you really kill pirates earlier?"

Kid glared at Usopp and when his legs shook in fear her indifferent answer was: "It's your decision what you want to believe in that matter, I don't want to talk about the past."

"Don't you think it could help you to get over with it, I just think what we heard so far from your father sounds pretty traumatizing." Robin suggested while Kid turned around to continue her way towards the forest.

"Robin I hardly believe that a father could be capable of doing that…" Nami whispered concerned she didn't want Kid to feel again uncomfortable.

Suddenly Kid stopped and punched her fist at the tree next to her. While the tree shook so hard that some leaves fell down to the ground the Straw hats and Ace looked at Kid. "You have no idea what he's capable of…" Kid said her voice trembling with rage.

"Kid… if you want to you can tell us everything…" Nami started hesitantly.

"JUST SHUT UP!" bursted out loudly before she ran off.

Almost immediately everybody followed her, but Ace was the only one who was able to caught up with her after he pushed himself to his limit. As he reached her he grabbed her arm and flung her against a tree and pushed his hand against it to stop her from running away again. "Why can't you just tell us what's wrong?!" Ace yelled at her.

"You just won't get it, it's not your fucking business!" Kid snarled glaring at Ace.

When Luffy caught up with them he took a breath before he said: "I think it's okay if she don't want to tell us about it, I won't mind it anyway."

"Thank you very much!" Kid said wryly, but then Sanji appeared and smacked Luffy at the head.

"How can you say something like this, I'd die to know more about my sweet Kitty-Kid!" Sanji said upset as Zoro approached them as well as Chopper and Robin (she held her hurting side).

When Usopp and Nami reached the group at last they were out of breath. Nami took a few breaths bending forward before she looked to Kid and said: "Kid I thought we are friends, why else should you have returned to us?"

Namis words took Kid by surprise, she didn't know why she cared about those pirates; somehow she felt a bit responsible for them. Kid leaned against the tree and looked for some seconds upwards, how could she let that happen?

When Chopper looked to Kid he realized that she was wounded "Kid your wounded! I thought that was the blood of the man you…!" Chopper started to say but before he could end the sentence he cringed at the thought.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing." Kid said indifferently.

"But you need a doctor… Where is a doctor?!" Chopper started panicking "Oh I'm the doctor!" Chopper said suddenly realizing that he was the one able to help her.

"It's really not a big deal!" Kid insisted that she was okay, "Let's go back to the house." Kid added calmly before she pass walked Ace and the rest.

Luffy and the rest followed Kid to the house in silence.

I know I have sometimes a pretty sickening imagination (but keep in mind it's just a fictive story, especially for later.) next Chapter will come up sooner I promise!
