The Princess and The Swordsman (ZoroxOC)

Chapter 23

"But which one?" Nami asked as Ms. All Sunday chuckled, "There's no need to get excited. All of you can calm down; I haven't been given any orders to follow here. I haven't no reason to fight you." She said and took Luffy's hat.

"So you're the captain. I've heard so much about you...Monkey D. Luffy." She remarked as Shae glared at her vehemently. Luffy began shouting about getting his hat back as I sheathed my sword, still staring at Ms. All Sunday. I wasn't taking my eyes off of her for a second.

Long nose appeared behind Luffy, "You are a bad person! I demand you leave this instant!" He shouted as Ms. All Sunday put Luffy's hat on, "Bad luck, picking up the princesses who Baroque Works has already made up their mind to see eliminated. Protected by a mere handful of pirates." She insulted.

"But your luck gets even worse, because of the direction your log pose is indicating. You see...the name of the next island is Little Garden. We won't even need to lift a finger. You will all be dead long before you reach Alabasta." She warned. Luffy demanded his hat back and long nose hid behind the mast, "I told you to leave now evil...doer." he forced out, fear lacing his tone. Zoro looked at him, "Evil doer? Seriously?" Zoro asked.

Ms. All Sunday ignored the pirates, "You don't think it's a little foolish, allowing yourselves to be wiped out?" She asked as she threw something to me. I caught it in my left hand and Vivi looked over my shoulder, "Eternal Pose." Vivi murmured in my ear.

"Using that, you can just skip right past Little Garden without stopping. Straight to an island near Alabasta. The pose points to a place known as Nanimoniashima. None of our agents know that course, so you won't be followed." She said.

I scoffed, "Please." I mumbled rolling my eyes, "Why are you giving this to us?!" I demanded as Zoro glared at Ms. All Sunday, "Its gotta be a trap." Zoro remarked. Ms. All Sunday met the swordsman's eyes, "Oh, does it?" She challenged as Luffy walked up beside me and took the pose from me.

"Forget your thingies! We don't need it." He growled and shattered the pose, earning a kick from Nami, "You jerk! She just went out of her way to show us an easier course to follow! Maybe she actually is trying to help us get away!" Nami shouted. Luffy looked at Ms. All Sunday again, "You aren't the one who decides where this ship goes." He challenged.

Ms. All Sunday didn't break eye contact with the captain, "Well, that's too bad." She said. Luffy looked at Nami, "She blew up those guys who were nice to us, so now I hate her!" He said. Ms. All Sunday walked away, "I'm sorry to hear that. And I'm sorry you didn't accept my offer. If you survive, I hope that we will meet again." She said offering a smile to Luffy who declined. Ms. All Sunday chuckled, before jumping off the ship and onto her turtle, before riding away from us.

"Oh wow! It's huge!" Luffy exclaimed. Vivi sighed and collapsed to her knees, "Vivi!" I cried and knelt in front of my twin as I placed my hands on her upper arms softly.
