Two days later! Taiga's POV!
"Taiga-chan! Wake up.", a familiar female voice says, shaking my shoulder to rouse me. My eyes flutter open then almost immediately close again from the bright light coming from my window as I shift over to face away from the light.
"Taiga-chan! We hit an island.", Ikkaku-San says, waking me up this time since captain said that the next island we'd get a gun for me.
"I'm u-p! W-woah!", I shout, falling off the bed in my excitement.
"You okay? You must be excited, heeheehee.", she says, helping me sit up and stand up.
"Y-yeah I'm r-really e-excited! L-law s-said h-e w-would b-buy m-me a g-gun!", I exclaim, holding myself up against my bed.
"Wonderful, if you need any help I'm right outside just call if you need me.", she says, closing the door behind her as I walk over to my closet and study the many clothes in it. I grab out a nice outfit which was a black pants that I had to roll up slightly, a heart pirates Jolly Roger handkerchief I had gotten from Uni-San, and a nice red striped purple shirt Law had bought me, add my black shoes with grey socks and I headed out with a slight limp to my step but otherwise okay.
"Good, Taiga-ya is awake. Todays breakfast is pancakes.", Law-San greets warmly, pulling me up to my chair as my plate is set in front of me.
"Th-thank y-ou!", I chirp happily, taking up the fork and taking a bite of the pancake.
"Ground rules, be at the human auction at three. Try to get provisions and be careful, celestial dragons will kill but don't bother them, listen to anything they ask of you or you could end up dead.", Law-San says, we nod and continue eating. Five minutes later we were out and about, looking at all the things around me they were almost overwhelming. My eyes wandered and wandered, never staying on one spot for long as another amazing thing happened around me. Even the library was interesting with all its books and the people in it, I had bought a few books there as well, a journal and a big packet of post it notes. It was when we hit the fountain that something happened.
"B-Bepo-San I'm g-getting h-hungry...", I trail, rubbing my empty belly which growled loudly.
"Okay, I'll come with you and grab some Takoyaki.", he says, setting me down on the ground. We find a Takoyaki shop nearby and buy three boats for captain and the few others who tagged along. Heading back, we heard the clashing of two people nearby, very powerful people now that I could hear clearer. Hearing this, we rush back to check on captain, protectively surrounding him as some scary looking guys walk up near us.
"Drake! Just how many people have you killed?", Law-San asks, that must have been that guys name. He was scary looking with an X like scar on his chin and a dark cape, I felt shivers run down my back as he stared at me.
"Is that?," he asks, looking to Law for answers.
"She's a new member.", he says plainly, munching on a piece of Takoyaki Bepo had handed him. Drake stares at me for a few minutes before walking off, I unfreeze from my scared pose and run back to Law who was sitting down on a box near the fountain.
"S-scary...", I trail, munching on my own boat of Takoyaki.
"It's alright, I'm sure we'll meet him soon, then you can show him how strong you'll be.", Law-San says reassuringly, petting my hair to calm me down.
"R-really? I'll s-show t-that m-meanie!", I exclaim proudly, puffing up my cheeks to look tough. Law chuckles lowly before squishing my cheeks together, deflating them before standing up, taking me with him and settling me on his hip.
"Sometimes you're too adorable...", he says softly, one hand holding his sword and the other holding me.
"I k-know.", I retort snarkily, smiling brightly as we come across a weapons shop.
"Found one, let's head in.", he says, setting me down inside the store before talking to the cashier guy behind the counter.
"I think I have the perfect thing, try this.", the guy says, handing over a large scoped gun with a long barrel to Law who hands it to me.
"It's h-heavy...", I trail, adjusting the weight onto my shoulder and looking through the scope.
"C-cool!", I exclaim, finding a bright white handgun across the store, a blue knife, and a bag of something next to it.
"W-what a-re th-these?", I ask, walking up to the items and trying to reach them.
"You gave a gun to a little girl?!?", the shop keeper exclaims loudly, making me almost drop the gun.
"Yes, is that a problem?", Law says, his tone was scary but I still reached for the bag.
"W-what a-re th-these?", I ask once again, finally grasping the bag and looking into it.
"Those are not for you little girl!!", the guy says, running up and taking them.
"I w-wanna see!!!", I shout, latching onto his leg before he ran off with them.
"These aren't for you!", he shouts trying to shake me off.
"I WANNA SEE!!!", I shout back, biting the guys leg in retaliation.
"Owch!! That hurts you bitch!", he says, shaking his leg harder.
"She won't let go unless you give her the bag.", Law says calmly, smirking mischievously.
"These are explosives! She gets one and drops it we're dead!", shopkeeper guy says, standing still now so I could stop.
"Who said she's going to do that?", Law asks, a frown on his face instead of the smirk.
"She's a kid!", he says indignantly, I just bite down harder.
"She's pretty smart for her age, right Taiga-ya?", Law asks, making me let go of his leg to answer.
"Y-Yeah I am!!", I answer happily, slinging the gun around my shoulders and behind my back.
"Only if you hold onto it for now.", the shop keep guy says, handing Law the bag.
"L-Law-San, c-can I h-have t-the o-ther g-gun and k-knife?", I ask, pointing to the other stuff in that shelf.
"Sure, they don't look too pricey.", he says with a smile, reaching to grab the knife and gun on the shelf near me before handing them to me.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Handing weapons to a kid... that'll be 2,500 beries for the bullets, fifty clips for both and the holster for that knife.", the shop keep says exasperatedly, staring at me as if I could kill.
"Thank you, see you in the newspaper when she gets a bounty on her head.", Law says, paying for the weapons as I find somewhere to hold them before heading out.
"What kind of gun did you get?", Satchi-San asks as we headed out to the auction.
"I g-got m-more t-than o-ne, s-see?", I answer, holding up the rather big hand gun with a full clip and showcasing the large sniper rifle on my back.
"Holy crap I didn't think captain would let you get two guns.", he says shocked, captain just smiles somewhat before he passes me the bag from earlier.
"What's in the bag captain?", Penguin-San asks curiously.
"Just some explosives.", Law answers simply as I look into the bag, finding it was full of small pellets with a small button on them all facing upwards via the plastic stem connecting them together loosely.
"C-cool, p-press b-button, a-and k-kaboom!", I explain softly, giggling to myself as the others glance over to me before turning back to whatever they were doing. We quickly find a seat, I getting to sit in Bepo's lap as he held Law's sword casually. The thing starts but not long after, the doors open loudly and some chatter rings out. I wasn't paying much attention until an octopus fish man showed up in front of everyone, most people showed disgust but I've never seen a fish man nor a mermaid.
"C-cool, a f-fish m-man and m-mermaid...", I trail softly, looking in awe at the beautiful mermaid in the tank and the awesome looking fish man on the stairs as the straw hat wearing guy runs down yelling 'caime' loudly.
"W-What's h-appening?", I ask, slightly confused due to spacing out.
"Straw hats crazy schemes.", Law answers softly, some gunshots ring out and suddenly one of the odd bubble wearing people gets punched into the wall and chaos ensues. The straw hats fighting the security guys who looked like knights but instead of being awesome and gallant, these guys were the exact opposite. People who had bid earlier were running and I could hear the mermaid shout in her pretty voice, everything was chaotic but I didn't mind.
"The marines are already here, straw hat. The marines have been here since the auction started. They've surrounded the auction house. After all, they have a head quarters right here on this archipelago. I don't know who they wanted to catch, but I'm sure they never dreamed that someone would actually attack a celestial dragon. Heh heh, you've shown me something interesting strawhats.", Law says, the straw hat wearing guy stops and questions about Bepo-San and me of course, I was a kid with the pirate crew.
"L-Law-San, l-look!", I exclaim, spotting the bubble wearing woman aiming a gun at the mermaid before passing out. A giant sticks his head out after an old guy walks out of the newly made hole. Okay too much info, this is giving me a headache. A wave of energy rushes by, my headache worsening until I black out, unable to take the pulsating pain...
