Natsu POV:
Observing the attacker cautiously, I whipped out my long sword to undaunt him for a battle between us. He hissed at me and pulled out his sword relentlessly. A fancy sword huh? The ones who made his first move would lose.
We, pirates not only searched for treasures or battled with other pirates. We also took job request from the board to earn moneys for our daily needs and supplies.
And this was what I'm doing right now. I had to captive this theif and brought him to the jail. So that the major of this town would give my rewards.
Lucy POV:
"Hey Mira, why can't girls wield a sword?" I shot her a questioning look.
"Not really, they can't. Erza has a sword." Mirajane wiped the plates and said.
"That is right. Those peoples who wield swords have to learn basic sword fighting skills. What is the point having a sword when you don't have how to use it?" A red-haired girl entered the bar and sat beside me. She was the one that having a conversation with the weird tattoo boy.
"And you are?" I asked her as Mirajane gave her a cup of tea.
"I'm Erza Scarlet. Address me as Erza. You must be Lucy." She drank her drink silently.
"Welcome back, Erza." Mirajane greeted her.
"How you kno-." I was cut off by her.
"Natsu told me. Is that an issue?" Her stern-looking eyes stared into mine as I freaked out.
"No, it's not." I shook my head trembling.
"Erza, you are scaring our newbie." A dark brown-haired girl who sitting in a disrespectful manner, holding a big bucket which labelled 'beer' and proceeded to drink.
"That is Cana. She is our fortune-teller here." Mirajane whispered to me.
"Cana, how dare you drink in a shameful manner." She glanced at Cana as Cana sat up quickly.
"So she in charge of discipline here?" I asked Mirajane.
"You can say that." I sighed at her reply.
Natsu POV:
Finally, I managed to send that cheeky thief to jail who tried to cheat me by saying there was a unicorn in the sky. Hey, if dragons existed so did unicorn. You could not blame me for that.
It was an accomplished job if you did not include the propertys that I ruined by accident. Accidents happened unexpectedly.
Now, I'm walking down the street as a stroll until a white stray dog appeared and hugged my leg.

Preview of Chapter 20:
"Don't estimate these cards. They are magic items. If you do so, the cards made sure that you will sleep eternal forever." Cana said in a serious tone and waved the cards in my face as I swallowed in terror.
