Mardelna Kora is the daughter of the dangerous Mardelna Akira, the head of the Mardelna Mob. In the past, the Mardelna Mob and the Whitebeard mafia used to actively be at war with each other. But, after some fair agreement, the two mobs have agreed...
"Do I have to go to school today?" I groaned. "I may be against formal education, but ya gotta have education of some sorts." Seline states as she paced the kitchen making god knows what for breakfast. "That makes no sense!" I groan. "Just go to school, you might get yourself a boyfriend..." Seline noticed me slump, "or you had a boyfriend?" "Uh...I'm in an arranged marriage-"
I got a fright when Seline slammed the pot lid down, "What?!" She hissed. "No no no don't worry! It's just..." I averted my eyes, "I'm just gonna give you the short version for now. I have -or we'll had- a best friend named Shanks who's just moved back from Raftel. And as you can probably guess, I sorta did have a thing for him that lasted longer than I wanted. But then Father puts me in an arranged marriage so that he could stop the war going on between him and Whitebeard."
"Well, that explains why Akira wasn't hissing about Whitebeard last night...anyway carry on."
"His names Thatch. But because he also has a thing for this chick who I have no idea how he knows her, we both agreed that we'll just stay mutual friends. But what basically happened was that at this party that we were all invited to, and me and him had an argument because he was pissed about the fact that I went off with this guy to do...you know crazy kid things."
Seline sniggered.
"And then I storm off with Thatch for a bit, and then I decide to go back and apologise. But then when I get back and Shanks is off in bed fucking with the girl that Thatch likes. And then the bitch has the decency to go around with him in front of me and has pretty much been the cause of mine and Shanks's friendship to go down the drain. And all while this is happening..." I let out a tired sigh, "Thatch comes in and just makes it everything alright, ya know? He was there for me when I needed someone. He was even there for me when I found out about Father being diagnosed with the cancers. But somehow he still likes this chick!"
I watched as Seline served me some poached eggs on toast.
"What's this girls name?" Seline asked. "Oh Moonlight D Valkiria, why?" I asked. Seline frowned, "Ah that name sounds familiar...where have I heard it?" Seline groaned as she rubbed her temples. "Well while you're thinking I'm gonna murder this breakfast." I stated before eating it all in one go.

The bell rang cut through me happily listening to music. I let out a tired internal sigh, as I packed up my painting supplies, put my painting for my portfolio in a safe space to dry, and then clean my brushes.
Today I was dreading PE. Not only do I have to face Valkiria, I also have to face Thatch and Shanks. I really didn't want to see either of them right now. I know that seeing Shanks and Thatch will hurt a lot, and seeing Valkiria will only make me mad.
'Now that I think about it, I haven't said a word to her alone.'
An idea popped into my mind.

After getting dressed for PE, I walked into the gym. However, my mood was instantly ruined when I saw that the other PE class was joining us. Which meant that I had to stand Valkiria for a whole hour, whilst dealing with Thatch and Shanks. Jesus, could my day get any worse?
"Right kids, today we're gonna have some sparring matches! We've put you all in pairs, and the list is on this here whiteboard. Now hustle!"
I watched as everyone walked over to the whiteboard. I waited for everyone else to go in front of me so that if the deadly three are here, I won't have to stand in line with them. I bit my lip as I heard Shanks pass me. I averted my gaze from him when he looked at my general direction. I didn't want to see if he was giving me a glare or a pitying look.
"Hey, you all good?" I snapped out of my daydream and saw Ace standing next to me. "Ah, yeah I'm fine." "Don't tell me that you're nervous about having to spar with Valkiria." I raised my eyebrows, a sudden stream of adrenalin flowing through my system, "What?" I asked. "Oh, you haven't seen the board? Then again, I don't think she's here today."
I left Ace, and went over to the board. I scrolled through the list of people, and sure enough, there it was.
Mardelna Kora vs Moonlight D Valkiria
"Oh, so I have to verse you?"
And the devil herself appears. I turn but what I saw was different. Yes, I did see Valkiria standing in front of me. But now...now she has shorter silver hair. What made me mad, was that she made the hair style look really good.

I paid no mind to Ace looking nervously between us. I paid no mind to the silent murmurs. I paid no mind to Thatch staring at us with wide eyes. All I could focus on, was how excited I was to fight this bloody bitch ass.
"Well, don't you go easy on me! I may not look like much, but I'm sure I'll be capable of beating you!" Valkiria grinned. I smirk, "You should've gone to Specsavers because I think you can't see how much of a threat I am to you, darling." "Hey ladies, save that all for the mat. We need to begin the lesson." Ace finally said. "Fine by me." I huffed.

Third pov
There was an intense air in the gym as the anticipation built.
"Are we really going to let this happen?" Thatch whispered to Ace and Marco. "What are you worried about, Kora is strong, and Valkiria said she can handle herself, it'll be fine." Ace assured.
'No, you don't get it. Are we really letting THESE TWO fight? I already know how this is going to end, we need to avoid it!'
"When you're ready." Kira called. Kora cracked her knuckles, then her neck, "I'm more than ready." Kira brought down her arm, "Fig-"
But before the two could fight, the gym door opened. Walking in was Mr Smoker. "Sorry to disrupt, but I urgently need to speak to Ms Moonlight over there." Immediately, Valkiria relaxed. What creeped Kora out, was that Valkiria seemed excited to see the man, even though she always got into trouble with him. "Coming!" Valkiria starts to leave the fighting 'arena', passing by Kora.
But then it happened. Kora mentally snapped upon hearing Valkiria whisper to Kora as she passed.
