Chapter 17

"That's the last item on the list. We should head back to the ship now" Heat said as he paid for the last item they bought before stuffing it into a leather bag that Wire slung over his shoulder. Rosalie nodded and they exited the store.

"Aw, already? Aren't we going to have some fun first?" Wire asked and received disapproving looks from both Rosalie and Heat, his statement defeated before he could even argue. His head dropped and he reluctantly followed.

"As much as I also want to have some fun and relax, we can't afford you guys being spotted. You have bounties and the marines are actually after you. I, however, am free of being hunted for now" Rosalie said, holding her head high, a smirk plastered on her lips.

"Yeah, yeah, only cowards and ass suckers belong to the government" Wire lay on the ground in a flash, already regretting his words. Heat let out a chuckle and helped the male up while Rosalie walked on her own.

"You should really stop saying things to piss her off. She'll break your arm one day or even worse" Heat warned and Wire groaned as he snapped his shoulder back into place. He didn't want to go through the pain of Virus doing it again.

"Whatever. She's much too cocky for her own good! It won't be long until the government kicks 'em in the ass." Wire said but Heat shrugged, not caring much. They managed to catch up with Rosalie, finding that she was standing still in the middle of the road.

They were about to ask her what she was doing. Their words died down in their throats when they saw a marine soldier beat up a civilian. They looked at the scene with a blank expression despite the cruelty of the act.

"Didn't I tell you to pay us? We don't protect you folk just for free! You should be kissing my boots in gratitude!" The marine captain kicked the male. Rosalie could feel her anger flaring, the justice symbol on the male's back fuelling the flames.

The other civilians were quick to scatter on the scene, not going to help the male at all. They were filled with fear and selfishness. They didn't want to get into trouble. As soon as she saw the male spit up blood, she snapped.

The marine was tapped on his shoulder, a growl escaping his throat as he looked back right into an armament fist. He cried out as he was sent flying into the wall of one of the nearly buildings. The people yelled in distress and looked at the crashing zone.

The male who was kicked glanced up at Rosalie, her face hidden beneath the shadow of her hat but her heavy breathing was visible. He looked at her arm, the armament fading but the veins visible pulsing out from under her skin.

"What do you think you're doing?" Rosalie asked, her voice barely audible. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HITTING AN INNOCENT MAN?!" Her voice made the male come back to consciousness, coughing as he tried to climb out of the rubble.

He wiped the blood that ran from his nose and looked up at the female who hit him. He spat blood out to the side and walked towards her, his own temper rising. He had bruises from the crashing and he could feel his back paining as well.

He grabbed her collar, his dark ebony eyes glaring into her hidden blue orbs. "Do you know who you just hit, woman? I'll let you rot in Impel Down for this!" He coughed up blood when she slammed her knee into his stomach, his form crumbling to the ground.

She ripped his justice jacket off his back and clenched the material tightly. "The one who should go to jail, is you. You have no right to wear this symbol" She snapped at him, her grip on the piece of clothing tightening, wrinkling the calligraphy.

The townsfolk could only stare at the scene in disbelief and somewhat horror. Some of them recognized the two males standing behind the disguised female. Their bounties were well known around these parts.

"You're going to pay for this! Mark my words!" The male threatened as he stumbled over his feet before walking away in a rush. He couldn't run because of the pain that rocketed through his body but it didn't matter. The higher ups were going to hear about this.

Rosalie let out a sigh and held her hand out towards the male who was beaten up. He hesitated. Rosalie couldn't blame him. The entire situation should be the other way around! Marine saving him from pirate.

"T-Thank you" He shakily reached out and Rosalie managed to help him up. "I-I have to go" He quickly said before Rosalie could even ask him anything. She frowned, retracting her hand and resisted to go after him.

"Now, we have trouble. Well done, now we have to find Captain and tell him you were the one to get the marines all fired up. They'll be on our asses in no time" Wire sneered at Rosalie who looked back at him with a conflicting look in her eyes.

"You saw what that marine was doing to that man! He would've beaten him to death if I didn't do anything! The worst thing is that he dared to wear this" Rosalie growled out as he looked at the white jacket in her hand.

"The worst thing is that you went and interfered" Heat told her and Rosalie's brows furrowed. "We have no business with anyone's problems. No one wanted to help him. You saw it yourself. These people don't care" Rosalie looked at him with a face filled with disbelief.

"You're not serious…"

"We are. At least we're honest about who and what we are. These people are all hypocrites. They act all nice but then stab you in the back. The same with the Navy. They're supposed to be the saviours but they're just as corrupt as us." Wire stated and Rosalie gritted her teeth.

She looked at the jacket in her grasp, wanting to burn it or even shred it to pieces. Simultaneously, she wanted to take it with her. She missed the feeling of the white material on her back, having justice on her side.

Then again, everything she knew was a lie. There was no one else that knew more about the corruption than she did. After all, she was one of the victims. She was poisoned, cast aside and her crew was killed. How hypocrite was that?

"We should probably get Boss and tell him what happened." Heat spoke up again and Rosalie silently nodded. She followed them, folding the piece of clothing and holding it in her right hand. She wasn't going to let go of it now.

"Did Boss say where he was going to scavenger hunt? 'Cuz if he did, I didn't listen" Wire said and received a shake of Heat's head. He didn't know either. They glanced back at Rosalie and she let out a deep sigh.

"I'll sense him out" She briefly closed her blue eyes and everything around her blackened. Presences of people started to pop up all around her, her mind looking for one in particular. A wild, untameable spirit that was quite large as well.

"I found it." She said as she opened her eyes and started walking, the other two letting her take the lead. She wasn't surprised when she stopped in front of a large building with the title 'Fun House' and entered without a second thought.

"H-Hey, Rosalie, you should probably wait until Boss comes out before you barge in there. He doesn't like it when people disturb him while he's…busy. We'll wait outside for him" Wire warned but Rosalie wasn't having any of that.

"You wanted him. I'll bring him out. It's my fault anyway so I'll deal with him" Their eyes widened and they tried to stop her with all their might. However, Rosalie stepped inside the 'Fun House' ignoring the smell of alcohol, smoke and pure sex.

It was nauseating but she swallowed her pride and continued to walk inside, avoiding half naked females as well as men. She dodged some men who wanted to approach her, the only thing she wanted to do was get Kidd.

She reached a door, his presence behind it and she let out a sigh. Prepare yourself, Rosalie. You know that he's probably busy. She shook off most of her common sense and opened the door without further ado.

"Hey, Goggles. We've got to get back to the ship. The Navy's pissed off and coming for us. We're waiting for you outside" Rosalie spoke up, her facial expression emotionless despite the scene she had stepped in.

She then closed the door, Kidd's shocked expression as well as the female beneath him briefly haunting her thoughts. She did what had to be done, nothing else. She exited the large building the two males looking at her with wide eyes.

"Please don't tell me you just went in there and interrupted him…" Rosalie gave him a blank expression and they paled. "Are you insane?! You know what happens to people who bothers him when he's busy letting off steam?!" Wire exclaimed and Rosalie shrugged.

"I'm heading back to the ship. I believe that you know which way it is. Don't bother me" Rosalie walked off, her red hair whipping behind her as she walking. She had a lot on her mind and she needed a bit of alone time.

"T-That woman has guts…and a lot of it" Wire murmured, feeling his blood run cold when he heard screaming inside the large building. "This is not going to be good. Boss is going to kill her." Heat nodded, also finding himself speechless at her reckless acts.

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

Kidd stormed out of the building, metal flying everywhere around him as his anger flared, his mouth pulled into a dangerous sneer. His eyes bore into his two crewmates' eyes and they unconsciously took a retreating step back.

"She went back to the ship, Boss" Heat answered and Kidd grunted before he went to walk off. "Wait! We have some Navy problems that we have to check out first. They're probably going to come after us after Rosalie angered them"

"That woman is just making my day. You're going to tell me what the hell she did before I go off and kill her. She's pushed it too far this time" Kidd growled dangerously and his two comrades paled at his words.

She was doomed.

In Rosalie's room…

A marine jacket lay on the wooden floor she sat on, the justice calligraphy being the only thing she looked at. She felt conflicted. Why? She didn't know the answer. She could only hope to find it in her swirling thoughts.

This world they lived in felt twisted. Nothing she ever knew was black and white anymore. She could now only see grey. Ever since she was betrayed and joined Law's crew, she could only see the darkness of this world.

There were good things that happened. There was a positive side to everything but she couldn't currently see any of that. What use was it that the Navy was under new management if nothing truly changed?

It angered her to no ends.

What were they supposed to do after they're allied with the World Government? Should they just stand by and watch as the people suffered? No, she couldn't do that. It was one thing that she couldn't stand and she refused to.

That unfortunately meant that she was going against Law. Then again, there was never a time that she actually agreed with his decisions. Was it her marine blood? Was it her side of justice? She didn't know the answer to either of those questions.

There was a loud slam on her door before Kidd burst through it, the walls cracking slightly from the force. Rosalie's eyes widened and before she could blink, she was pinned against the wall, his hand clenching painfully around her neck.

"You have some guts doing what you did, Sweetheart. No one ever interrupts me when I'm getting laid. Those who did will never live to tell the tale." Kidd snarled and Rosalie gasped for air. She could see the murderous gleam in his eyes, her heart slamming against her chest loudly.

What was this feeling?

Rosalie managed to scrape her strength together and held his wrist, trying to pry it off her throat. However, he completely overpowered her and she hated it. She hated this feeling that washed over her. She couldn't do anything. What was going on with her?

"Sorry that I interrupted you violating a woman, scum! You were the one to say to come and get you!" Rosalie argued with him, gasping soon after when his grip tightened. Black dots were starting to appear in her vision, her eyes starting to brim with tears.

"You never know when to stop, do you? You even messed with the marines despite us wanting to stay undercover. I've had my last bit of patience vanish with you. Get it in your pretty head. There is no such thing as justice in this world! Stop acting like you're a hero. You're a pirate!" He snapped.

"You…re…wrong! J-Justice…exists!"

"To who? To you? To those worthless peasants walking in the streets? To us? To marines? No one cares! They're all too busy caring about themselves than other people. Only fools like you would save selfish worms! And you'll die like a fool. Justice don't exist for monsters like us" Kidd finished.

He watched as Rosalie's eyes widened and his grip loosened slightly. He seemed to have gotten to her. He could see her shell slowly cracking, her eyes showing all the emotions that rushed through her. Hurt, betrayal, uncertainty, anger but mostly fear.

Then something snapped.

Kidd's brows furrowed and he could feel the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. Her blue eyes almost blackened as they became dark, her red hair turning a deep shade of blood red. This was what he saw. The darkness that lurked beneath her carefree smile.

"Kill him"

A sick smirk came onto her lips and Kidd could barely dodge the dark blade that went to slice off his hand. He managed to only get a skin cut but the blood stained the dark blade. He watched as she brought the blade to her face, licking the blood then grinning.

"Die"

Kidd cursed when she appeared in front of him, her dark blade ready to pierce his heart. However, he managed to be quicker and activated his devil's fruit. He shot the dagger back into the wooden wall, her body hitting the wall behind her.

She was about to attack him again, but he pinned her against the wall managing to force the dagger out of her hand. He gritted his teeth when he felt his entire body scream at him to throw the dagger away and tossed it to the side.

"Little shit, you have a cursed dagger? What the hell is wrong with you?!" He didn't want that thing on his ship at all. He cried out when he felt a stinging pain in his arm. His grip tightened and she spat his blood back into his face.

She bit him.

He knew she wasn't in her normal conscious anymore but couldn't help but smirk. It was like he had said before. She was dangerous. She struggled beneath him, her haki shooting against him with every try.

"To think that Trafalgar had you this entire time, not letting your true form free. At least I'll have the decency of taming you, my little monster" He said, smirking before his lips forcefully crashed onto hers, dark blue eyes widening.

She bit him hard on his bottom lip, drawing blood and he flinched. "I'll kill you!" She snarled at him and Kidd let out a laugh. He kissed her harshly once again, this time twisting her wrapped arm to make her gasp out in pain.

He deepened the kiss, the taste of blood filling her mouth and she growled. She couldn't resist him, his strength overwhelming her. How could one mere male make her strength fade? How could he dominate her so?

With her last bit of strength that started to fade, she shot him back. Kidd was shot through the door, crashing into Killer's room. Dark blue eyes glared at him before they shut and Rosalie's body crumbled to the ground, unconscious.

"KIDD!" Killer came rushing with a few other men into the hall, observing the damage that was made by the two. "What exactly happened here? Why the hell do you have bite marks on you?" Killer asked, thrown into complete confusion by the scene in front of him.

Kidd burst out laughing as he stood up and wiped the blood that ran from his bitten lip. "I was just busy taming my little monster. Killer, we're not letting her off this ship. She's staying right here until she's tamed" Kidd said, a devilish smirk forming on his lips.

That's right. She was not going anywhere.
