In another reality, where Luffy and Misaki do not get together and Misaki finds herself exploring her options a little more freely.
>.> it's a thing I'm trying. This can be read as a reader x character. These are one shots OR short stories based on...
There is an arc in the original story between these two characters. This can cross over into very mild spoilers for those who haven't read the other book. Read the other one first. It's better haha. This is an alternate reality to the main reality. I will be writing an extended chapter with no spoilers. This chapter simply builds on the chemistry they had in the previous book.
"Where are we?" I said, turning on my butt to face the towering man beside me.
"Dunno. Some random beach, I guess." He said, picking at his ear.
"Any idea how to get out?" I said, huffing a little.
"Yeah, well... my crew mates have my vivre card. Only a matter of time for me. You?"
"I umm..." I didn't know how much I could say. It's not like the straw hats were buddies with these guys. They were enemies, rivals. And they had no way to find me. Finally, I just shrugged. He glared at me.
"What the Hell do you mean?" He mimicked my shrug in a mocking manner. "Do you have anywhere to go?!"
"Course I do!" I snapped, standing up to wag my finger at him. "It's just none of your business!"
Kid stood up, scowling at me. "Do you know who I am, little chicky?"

"I do! You're Captain Eustace Kidd!" I said quickly and confidently, straightening up and jutting out my hand for a hand shake. "And I'm Misaki!"
He continued to glare at me as my hand stayed in the open air, waiting for his. As time passed, it became increasingly apparent that he had no intention of shaking my hand. I sneered, absentmindedly snatching his ear and yanking him down to eye level.
"When someone offers you their hand, you return the favor!" I sneered.
Jaggy's eyes narrowed at me, and I suddenly didn't feel so confident anymore. Regardless, I held my ground, putting my other hand out just as before, still holding his ear with the other.
"I'm. Misaki." I snapped.
Silence grew between us before a small smirk pricked at the edge of his lips. He took my hand in his, enveloping it completely. Seriously, what massive hands. "You have moxy, I'll give you that, woman."
I did my best to tighten my grip against his as I stepped into him, letting my nose press against his. "It's. Misaki."
He let go of my hand and laughed, batting away the other hand that was hanging on his ear. "Fine, fine! You win, Misaki. I get it."
"Brute." I teased, making him laugh.
"I would think you'd be scared of a brute like me!" He teased, pushing my shoulder and gesturing to his mechanical arm.
"Nah." I shrugged. I've got bigger monsters on my ship, after all. Though, I know that he is definitely dangerous.
"Just 'nah'?!" He said. I shrugged again, trying to be nonchalant.
