"Oi Scarlett! Wake up!" A voice echoed into my head as a pair of strong hands were holding my shoulders and were shaking them furiously. At that my eyes opened very fast and the reflexes hit me. I got up from my sitting position at the corner I had rested and tackled down the person in front of me. The person was still as the sharp edge of my boot knife was pressed lightly against his neck.

"Who are you and what do you w-" I said, my voice above a whisper. But I stopped my sentence when I saw emerald green eyes staring at me. Great! The Madman. "Sorry Kirkland." I said taking off my knife from his neck and getting off of him. "I thought you were someone else, trying to kill me." I continued and gave him my hand to get up.

"Don't worry love. I think I deserve it for my previous actions." He said taking my hand and sitting up. "I believe you will take some time to forgive me right?" He said dusting himself and continued without giving me a chance of replying. "You are welcome to sleep here, at my bed. Or if you don't feel like it you can go and sleep with the others down deck. Your choice, love." Arthur said and looked at me.

"Thank you Kirkland. I will take your offer of sleeping here. And don't worry. I forgive you. Because I opened my mouth a little more than I should have." I said stretched my limbs as they became sore from sitting and sleeping at the floor for a little time.

"Wonderful then!" He said uniting his hands for a little. "Well, I thought you wouldn't and you would still be angry for you know, 'kidnapping' you." He continued scratching his back of his head and chuckled nervously.

"Who said that I forgive you for making me be here." I said glancing at him as I put my knife back to my left boot. "Where are we heading exactly Kirkland?" I said and walked at a map he had at his desk.

"To Singapore. Your friend, Timothy, told me about there. And there you have more friends than enemies." Arthur pointed Singapore at the map.

"I know where Singapore is, moror!" I said and punche his arm slightly. "Sorry." I muttered soon after looking down at the floor.

"Don't be. It didn't hurt." He said again kinda nervously. We remained silence until he started a new conversation. "Do you have any nickname?" I looked at him kind of confused. "You know, as you and the Spanish are not friends. To me they have given the nickname of 'The Madman'."

"Yeah, I know about your nickname. It happened after you and your fleet sank some of Carriedo's allies fleet. And couldn't they find something more stupid? They always give stupid nicknames."

"Yeah, I know! They are always stupid. I've heard about a woman, they have given her the name of siren or in their language 'La Sirena'. They tell that she is beautiful like any siren, she wraps the men around her fingers with her beauty."

"And do you believe in that story captain~"

"Nay. It's just an ordinary woman who just passed by at a pirate ship. What about you?"

"I know her, as you do too."

"Really? Who is she?" He asked kind of amused and surpised.

My one hand went to my hip, the other one from the one side of my head went back of my head, revealing my neck and making my hair to get shorten for a little. Then my eyes closed a little and gave the most seductive smile and pose. At this, Arthur only blinked and tried to say something but he couldn't accomplise that, as the only thing that went off of his mouth was some soundless words. "She is in front of you Artie." I said softly and he just blinked again. At that I just laughed and he shook his head angrily.

"I should have seen it coming." He was murming at himself angrily with his eyes closed and his head at his hand.

"Yeah you should. I fucking threw you from my ship without you noticing it and see it coming."
