Chapter 14

The large ship of the Kidd's pirates was something familiar to Rosalie. It was something that was tossed on her desk regularly when she was still a marine. The flag represented the usual grinning skull with Kidd's hair and his goggles. Extra to the skull was the two knives in the background and flames.

The ship itself though, was a work of art. Strange, but still interesting. The ship had a heavy metal theme with a bizarre skull in front, two large spears crossing in front. The flooring was the ship wasn't the normal wooden floor but was purple patterned.

It had one main mast with two sails and a smaller mast at the back with one large sails. Skulls seemed to be one of the main decorations on the ship. Rosalie's thoughts wanted to trailed off for possible reasons, yet they were in another situation that currently occupied her mind.

"Let me get this straight… You wanted to kill this woman, who turned out to be the Red Menace, and then decided to bring her along. Also causing the Navy to come after us and made sure to wreck the town where we were supposed to get supplies" Killer concluded, his tone strained.

Killer stood in front of Kidd and Rosalie as he stared at them from behind his mask. He had his arms crossed over his broad chest, the rest of the crew standing behind them on the ship. To say they were speechless was an understatement.

"Yes, well done stating the obvious" Kidd said and Rosalie imagined veins pulsating out of Killer's face beneath the mask. Killer's grip on his arms tightened and he had a finger tapping on his bicep to show his agitation.

"That's not the point! If we didn't get the supplies we would've had trouble with food! Moreover, what do you think you're doing dragging her with us? She's not part of the crew!" Killer scolded the male and Rosalie sweat dropped. He acted more than the Captain than Kidd was doing.

"Chill already, Killer. You got everything we needed so there's no need to get your panty in a twist." Kidd replied, his purple lips turned down into a frown. "She's coming with us because I said so. I don't see the problem adding a crewmember to my crew"

"Hey! I'm not joining your crew!" Rosalie interrupted their conversation and looked back at the masked male. "This idiot refused to leave me on the island. I have some business in the direction you're going. I promise not to cause any problems and leave as soon as I get there. I'll pay you if you want"

They stared at each other, everyone staring at the scene. Kidd glared at Rosalie at her insult and wanted to say something but Killer held out his hand towards Rosalie. What the hell was his first mate doing? Surely, he wasn't going to do what Kidd thought he was going to do.

"100 000 beli. Sleep, food and travel included" Killer told her and Rosalie paled slightly. That was quite a prize he was giving her. She had money on her but not as much as 100 000 beli. However, two could play the dealing game.

"50 000 beli. Sleep, food and travel included and I'll even cook for the entire crew as well as do chores where I'm needed" Rosalie lowered the prize and watched Killer's mask, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Hey, you two-!"

"75 000 beli. Sleep, food, travel included. We have a cook but you'll do the given chores. Final offer" Killer said and Rosalie bit the inside of her cheek. It couldn't be helped. This guy was good at striking deals.

"Deal" Rosalie put her hand in his and they shook it once, the agreement struck. Rosalie knew that she would have to go do a bit of pirate hunting if she wanted to buy her debt but at least she was on her way to South East. She was one step closer to Law.

"Hey, you two! Who the hell do you think you are striking deals on my ship?! I decide who comes along and who hits the road!" Kidd snapped at them and received blank looks from them. Rosalie rolled her eyes at the male's antics.

"Oh, shut up. It's called business, Goggles" He gave her a baffled look at the nickname. "We both get something out of this. Now, can I see where I'm staying? I have this wound that I need to take care off" Rosalie asked as she looked at Killer.

"I'll take you to your room and to our doctor. He'll be quick to patch that up for you. The rest of you, get ready to set sail!" Killer ordered and they all exclaimed in agreement before scurrying off to set out to sea once again.

"Hey! I give the orders here, Killer!" Kidd snapped at his first mate. Killer and Rosalie glanced back at him as he glared at him. "Get to your damn stations! We're setting sail now!" He ordered and Rosalie resisted the urge to laugh.

"Is he always like that?"

"Pretty much." Killer bluntly replied and Rosalie chuckled. She followed the male inside the ship ignoring the looks she received from the rest of the crew. It was painfully obvious that they didn't trust her at all and the feeling was mutual.

"You can take the stairs on your right to get to the bunker where most of the men sleep. The room at the end of the hall is Kidd's and mine is the second on the left-hand side. You'll be staying across my room." Killer gestured for Rosalie to enter her room and she opened the door.

Blue eyes scanned the room with interest and a smile came onto her lips. It was a medium sized room, wood lining out the roof, walls and floor. There was a bed in the left-hand corner, a wooden desk and there was a cupboard on the opposite side of the room.

It's nice and plain. Rosalie pulled off her traveling bag from her back and put it down onto her bed. She travelled light with only the necessaries. Clothing, medical aid and money. She would buy food if she needed to as well as anything else.

"If you're done I'll go introduce you to the rest of the crew and take you to our doctor" Killer's voice brought her out of her thoughts and Rosalie grunted. She exited the room and followed the male deeper into the ship, looking around to satisfy her curiosity.

She felt a bit unsettled at the idea of going to their doctor but kept her thoughts to herself. The only doctor she went to was Law and it still made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't like doctors and that was never going to change.

"This is the dining room" Killer brought her out of her thoughts and Rosalie's eyes widened at the size of the place. It was huge! There were large tables that stood back to back in about four or five rows with wooden chairs.

"We come here to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. This way is the kitchen" Killer told her and led her into the kitchen which was also much bigger than she expected. They had what seemed to be very expensive kitchen equipment and a large stove that made her fingers prickle.

They sure have it all, don't they?

"Hey, Killer, you're back already? I heard the Captain was causing trouble again!" A gruff male voice spoke up and a large male came into view. His bald head matched his hairless face and he wore black chefs clothing, knives attached to his belt. "Oh, who's this?" He asked and Rosalie smiled.

"I'm Rosalie. I'll be traveling with you lot for a while. Nice to meet you" She introduced herself. The male blinked a few times before he looked at Killer and received a nod. He grunted and gave her a grin, revealing a few golden teeth between white ones.

"Well, nice to meet'cha! I'm the cook of this Jolly Roger. You can call me Poison, little lady. If you need something to eat, just come to me" Poison stated and Rosalie paled. They had a cook named Poison. That sure was reassuring. Was everyone on this ship abnormal?

"Thanks, I would like to see what type of dishes you serve and hopefully get a few tips. I've been cooking for a while now but I'm running out of ideas. Men are so picky these days" Rosalie mused as she thought about Law's pickiness on what he wanted to eat.

Poison burst out laughing and gave Rosalie a hard slam on her back, her oxygen levels instantly falling. "Then you've come to the right place! Here you either eat what you're given or you starve!" Poison pointed out and Killer grunted.

"We're in the New World. Either you eat what you're given or you'll starve. Poison here can cook the best food though so we never complain. There's no luxury here of being picky" Killer said and Rosalie huffed.

Tell that to Law.

"Anyway, we're off. I still have to introduce her to the rest of the crew" Killer waved off the male and Rosalie joined him. She was short on his heels, not wanting to get lost on the large ship. Hopefully, that wouldn't happen to her.

"You guys have a strange crew" Rosalie thought aloud and received a look from Killer that made her regret her words instantly. "Not in a bad way! You have all kind of people on board and they look like they can have a great time together." Killer grunted in reply and Rosalie sighed.

He seemed to be the quiet type. Only saying what needed to be said. She was going to have to keep herself busy the next few weeks. After all, she didn't want to get too close with the crewmates of the Kidd Pirates. She was merely using their resources to get to Law.

"Heat! Wire!" Killer called the males as they arrived onto the deck and Rosalie glanced up at two familiar faces. "This is Heat and Wire, they'll tell you your chores." He gestured towards the two males and saw them stare down at her.

Was everyone taller than her?

"Heh? I didn't think the Red Menace would be this short" Wire put a hand on Rosalie's head and received a disapproving look from her. "Don't worry, we'll put you to good use on the ship. You won't have time to be bored" He gave her a smirk that immediately made her blue eyes darken.

He yelped when his arm was grabbed and in seconds, he lay on the ground with a dislocated shoulder. Rosalie dusted off her hands and gave him a glare, her blue eyes threatening. He swallowed thickly at the shivers she sent down his spine.

"Let's get something straight. I'm not going to help you get off. You either handle me with respect, or you'll lose your arm next time" Rosalie warned him and he nodded silently. Heat chuckled as he shook his head.

"You know what kind of bounty she has on her head and you still mess with her. You're stupid" Heat shook his head at the male. Killer could only let out a heavy sigh at the scene. The male should've known better.

"Shut up, Heat! Help me up already!"

"Well, now we have two people to take to the doctor. I would mind it if you don't take on the entire crew" Killer said and Rosalie shrugged. She crossed her arms over her chest and threw her hair back as it came into her eyes.

"It's not my fault the crew disrespects woman. You should blame your Captain. Besides, it'll keep me busy" Rosalie gave him a smirk and Killer let out a chuckle. She was an interesting person. Rosalie blinked in surprise but soon grinned. He did have a sense of humour.

"What are you doing standing around? I thought you took her to get her wound checked out!" Kidd's obnoxious voice reached Rosalie's ears and she gave him a bored expression. She noticed the bandage on his cheek and let out a snicker making him sneer at her.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing. I just thought how tough you look with that little bandage on your cheek. Did your doctor kiss it better as well?" Rosalie teased the male and the reaction was immediate. His hand was quick to curl around her thin, slender neck, her oxygen cut off.

"You don't know when to stop pissing me off, do you?" Kidd watched as she looked back at him, her blue eyes challenging him. His grip tightened and he watched as her eyes darkened despite her hand wrapping around his wrist. If looks could kill, he knew he would be laying in a pile of his own blood.

He let out a chuckle and released her from his hold making Rosalie cough. She gave him a glare as she rubbed her sore throat and wondered what made his flip switch. Kidd could only grin at her, his interest in the female growing more and more.

"I'm going to have fun with breaking you piece by piece. I can't wait until I see you snap." Kidd told her and Rosalie gave him a confused look. "Killer, take her to get that wound checked. I'll be in my office" He gave Rosalie a wink and he walked off without another word.

"You know, if you keep pissing him off like that you'll end up dead before you reach our destination" Killer told her and Rosalie sighed. She knew that. He wasn't someone she should mess with but she couldn't help it! He just managed to ruffle her feathers.

"Whatever. Let's just go" She silently murmured and Killer grunted. She followed him, leaving a perplexed Heat and Wire behind. They glanced at each other, then followed the two towards the infirmary.

Killer knocked on the infirmary's door, Rosalie not saying much as her thoughts roamed wildly in her mind. The door opened to reveal a dark-haired male, silver piercings the first thing Rosalie noted followed by his half naked body, also pierced.

"Yo, Killer and…" The male blinked a few times at the red-haired female next to him and put his hands on his hips. "Lookie here! Never thought I'd have the little Red Menace at my infirmary! Come on in!" He gestured for them to enter and saw Wire holding his shoulder.

"Idiot got his ass handed to him" Heat explained and the male nodded, understanding the situation instantly. Wire gave Heat a punch but let out a scream of pain when Heat squeezed his dislocated shoulder.

"You two wait outside. Imma help the other two first" The infirmary door closed and the pierced male smirked. "Alright! First thin' is first! I'm the ship's doc', you can call me Virus. Nice to meet'ya, Red Menace" Virus introduced himself and Rosalie paled.

"N-Nice to meet you. You can call me Rosalie" She tried to ignore the fact that their doctor was nicknamed Virus. Something that killed people. What was wrong with them? Moreover, who thinks out these insane names?

"Imma call you Rose" Virus stated and Rosalie could only let her shoulder droop with a nod. It was no use in fighting against it. "Cool! So, Rose, would ya mind taking off that bloodied thing?" Rosalie unstrapped the bloodied piece of cloth and Virus tossed it in a trashcan.

He whistled and Rosalie swallowed tickly. "That's a lot of blood! How come you're still conscious?" He asked as he looked at the bloodied cut. He was quick to pull out a bottle of alcohol and a clean cloth, his hands hidden beneath a pair of medical gloves.

"I guess I'm stubborn?" Her answer sounded uncertain and the truth was she didn't know how she was still awake. She still felt lightheaded but it was better since the bleeding stopped and she didn't engage in fighting.

She winced at the burning sensation the alcohol caused and bit her bottom lip. Don't look. Don't look. Don't you dare look! She told herself and rather took in her surroundings. She noticed the medical cupboards in front of her filled with medication as well as medical supplies.

She saw a large desk on her left-hand side, a bookshelf filled with thick leather covered books next to it. The smell was exactly the same as Law's infirmary. The scent of disinfectant something that she strangely missed from the Captain.

"All clean. Imma wrap it up for you. There's no need for stitches but make sure to keep it clean. Imma give you a check up in two days." Virus brought her out of her thoughts and she silently nodded in reply. He grinned and stood up.

"Great!" He opened the door, Heat and Wire standing outside waiting. "Come in so I can get that shoulder in place. Ya could've just asked Killer to snap it back into place, little pissy" Virus told the male and he growled.

"You're here for a reason!"

"Whatever. You shouldn't make extra work for me, Virus. Anyway, let's go. I still have to show you a few things of the ship" Killer looked back at Rosalie finding that she was deep in thought. He noticed the far off look she had and snapped his fingers, drawing her attention.

"S-Sorry! Let's go!" She quickly answered and he grunted. She left with the male, the door closing behind her followed by a loud scream. She flinched and shivered involuntarily. She still hated doctors. She unconsciously clasped her hand around her hidden necklace.

Law… I'm on my way.
