"It's been three days how long do we have to wait?" Michael said as he followed Raven around the ship. She was having fun, though like Michael she was getting a slight case of cabin fever. Raven had changed clothing she now wore a pair of black shorts with a blue t-shirt, but they were slighting to big on her. White-beard didn't have too many females living on his main ship most were larger in stature or were more well endowed than her.
"We're waiting for the rest of our crew as soon as they're here we can set sail again, help in the search... for now can't you just enjoy your self after all, how many people actually get to explore White beards ship?" Raven mused, "Judging by his crew size, I'd say a lot." Michael said as Raven climbed up the rigging.
"If your going to be annoying you can just stay there." Raven said, "But-" "Stay!" Raven ordered as if she was talking to a dog.
He crossed his arms annoyed but made no move to follow. Raven smiled and climbed all the way to the crows nest. She sat on the edge of the basket and smiled, she could see for miles from there. There were at least six other ships around White beards. Most were no where as large as the main one, but they weren't small either. There was one that was hiding in the shadows it was barely big enough to be call a ship compared to the others.
"Hey this is my hiding spot." Ace said Raven turned, he was laying in the birds nest pillows and all looking up at the sky, she smiled down at him. 'So this is the famed Fire Fist,' she thought. He had made quite the comfy spot with pillows lining every inch of the floor in the little nest.
"I wasn't here to hide," Raven said. "Then could you leave, I was having such a nice dream." Ace told her, "Why would you want to sleep when there's so much to see?" Raven asked, "Seen it all." Ace waved her off, "Really?" Raven asked, "Yep big ship, but not so impressive." Ace said, "Oh really then wheres yours?" She asked, "The one with my hat on the flag." He told her and she knew he ment the small one she thought was barley big enough to be called a ship.
"The why don't you sleep there?" Raven asked, "I get a better view from here." Ace said, "But your not even looking." She said looking out to the sea again.
"No, your just not looking the right way." He told her and she looked back down at him. "What do you mean?" She asked, he rolled his eyes. "Look up," he said she did and her jaw dropped.
The sky was beautiful the sun changed the clouds to all different colors, they almost seemed to be dancing as they flouted across the sky.
"Wow," she said leaning back further, until she lost her grip on the edge and fell into the basket right on top of Ace. "OW!" He said, they both sat up Raven laughing. "Sorry," she said between giggles. "What ever," he said putting his hat on, and sanding as he said. "I've got to go,"
"Why just because I'm here?" Raven taunted, "No...I've got a mission from the old man that I might as well get to. Since he seems to think I have nothing better to do than his errands." Ace grumbled, "What kind of mission?" Raven asked perking right up. "That's for me to know," he said jumping down and practically running away, Raven smiled.
"And for me to find out," she said she watched as he jumped down to the main deck and talked to Marco. She then climbed down and found Michael fast asleep on deck. She troed waking him but he was out like a light.
"Well I guess I'm leaving without you," she said taking a piece of paper out of her pocket and writing something on it, leaving it on his swords. She made sure Ace was still with Marco and headed to the small ship. 

She knew it was his when she saw the orange hat on the flag. She jumped down to the ship, carefully making her way passed all ten of his crew mates and hide in the captains quarters. She was almost surprised at how easy it was to get on the ship. Barely ten minuets later Ace joined his crew on deck and she watched from the small window as White beards ship became smaller with distance. She wandered around the room, it was fulled with random stuff from all round the world.
"A statue from the east sea... jewels from the west, and some bones from a sea monster?" Raven said out loud, "Half right it was dinner actually, though was my first sea monster in the grand line... Well the calm belt but what's the difference." Ace said, Raven practically jumped then turned slowly to face him. He wasn't smiling as he watched her from the doorway his arms crossed.
"Will you stop doing that," Raven said, "What? I'm not allowed to be in my own quarters?" He asked, "No will you stop appearing out of no where." Raven said crossing her arms but still smiling, "You're the one that keeps appearing out of no where... So why am I not surprised you're on my ship." He asked, she smiled.
"You expected me to stow away?" Raven asked, "No but I knew that wouldn't be the last I saw of you... and speaking of being a stow away... get off my ship." He said in a calm but annoyed voice as he walked towards her.
"No," she said defiantly, "No?" He said raising an eyebrow. "I'm coming along." She said crossing her arms, he was barely a foot away from her now.
"Do you even know where we're going?" He asked, "Nope! And don't really care I was bored on that ship, it was time for something different." Raven said sitting down, on his bed.
"Well I don't want to turn back and drop you off. So how about I give you a row boat and you can head out on an adventure alone." He said heading back to the door, "You wouldn't do that, would you?" She mocked he looked back at her. "I am a pirate," he said, as if that meant something.
"That doesn't answer my question." Raven said putting her bare feet up on the bed as well. Practically sprawled across it now.
"I never said I'd answer your questions." He snapped, "Too bad because I have quite a few." Raven sighed still smirking, "Well your going to have to live without answers?" He said walking over to her. 

Then to her surprise he picked her up off the bed like she was a rag doll and threw her over his shoulder. Raven was to stunned that at first when he picked her up that she didn't start kicking and yelling at him until they were already through the door and on deck. He crew watched stunned as he dropped her in the row boat the sat on the deck.
"Have fun getting back," he said turning away as she quickly stood. Climbing out of the row boat as he walked away, "No I'm staying and you can't stop me," Raven told him sternly, "Fine stay in the brig," he said turning back to face her and as if on queue two of his crew members tried grabbing her arms.
They missed when she jumped up rather high in the air. She landed on there shoulders pushing them together making their heads hit one another, effectively knocking them out.
"You're going to have to do better than that to get rid of me."  Raven taunted and Ace smirked waving his hand and the rest of his crew moved to get her.
One after another none of them could even touch Raven,  it was almost like she had force field around her. They each were getting more frustrated by the second. Ace however seemed to find the whole ordeal amusing. Raven got bored fast, and after beating the crew she ran strait at Ace who didn't move.
Raven had always been fast but to most of the crew it must have looked as if she had disappeared, and reappeared behind Ace with is hat safely resting on her head. She had stolen his hat as she passed him and sat on the railing behind him, leaning there taunting him.
"This is your crew no wonder you lost to Pops." Raven taunted, althought that only seemed to anger his crew. Ace however just smiled and walked over to her, he leaned in. His face barely an inch from hers. Each hand on the railing at sides making it impossible for her to get away. She didn't try though, only glared at him as he smiled. Something about him seemed to just annoyed her.
"Nice moves, you can stay but I'm going to need my hat back. Oh and no interfering." He said then he slowly standing strait as his took his hat back, but before it was even on his head she felt the air get heavy and looked up.
"Even now?" Raven asked, he looked at her confused.
In an instant the weather turned, she held on tight to the railing as the ship rocked back and forth. The clouds gathered and a storm raged around them. She watched as they scrambled to keep the boat afloat, holding tightly to the railing she climbed the stairs to the wheel. Ace was struggling to keep the ship strait, she stood by and watched.
"Sure you don't need any help?" Raven yelled, "No!" Ace shouted as they ran around trying to keep the ship together. She sat down and held on to the railing, almost seemed to enjoy the storm raging around them. When it finally stopped everyone was soaked. Raven watched as they tried to get the boat back on track. Ace may seem lazy but she watched as he was right there with his crew cleaning up and getting the sails down.

Raven got bored around lunch time and wondered around the ship until finally finding the kitchen. It was small even for this kind of ship, she went strait to the fridge and found a very heavy duty lock on it.
"If you're hungry you're going to need this," someone said behind her. She turned, to find one of Aces crew holding the key. "Why is it locked?" Raven asked, "If we don't lock up the food Ace would eat it all before we made port." He told her, "Well I promise not to eat it all." Raven said innocently, "Can you cook?" He asked, "Do you think I'd be in here if I couldn't?" Raven said, "The rest the of the crew is hungry too." He told her, "What you want me to cook for them too?" Raven asked, "If you can, but I doubt it." He told her, and she liked the sound of a challenge in his voice.

"I'm the cook, doctor, and captain of my crew so just hand those over." Raven said snatching the keys from him before he could blink. "Want help?" He asked, "Think you can keep up," Raven taunted, "I do love a challenge." He said rolling up his sleeves and washing his hands as she opened the fridge.
