One Piece: Los Lumos

Chapter 2: The Alliance

The tension is growing between Fe and the Straw Hat pirates, confessions are made, and challenge is issued. There's few more chapters covering Fe's interactions with the Straw Hats later on. I'm tuning out now~!

Chapter 2 - The Alliance

The waves gently crashed against the ship. Thousand Sunny-Go floats proudly, hardly rocking from the impact.

Instead of worrying about the unpredictable weather Grand Line, the Straw Hat crews are more concerned with the unexpected arrival of a girl claiming to be an assassin of some sort organisation.

If looks could kill, then Zoro had murdered the quiet girl a thousand time. Yet she still carries that indifference air, to his dismay. He really would have loved seeing the mask forcibly taken off her.

"Why are you here?" Zoro asked gruffly, his arms crossed as his face held wariness. He looms over the sitting girl, who is calmly sipping her cup of tea, - the ero-cook said it's a common courtesy towards guest.

Fe sets down her tea in the small plate that comes with the cup on her lap. She lifts her gaze to meet the grumpy one's. "I told you. I'm here to make an alliance. Need I spell it out for you, Mister Mosshead? A-l-l-i-a-n-c-e. Alliance." she emphasised the word, fully aware of how she annoys the guy.

The swordsman snapped at that. She just got to have the guts to speak to him with that tone! If it's not for his Captain, he would have thrown her overboard the moment she stepped into Sunny. However, a small portion of his mind is reminding him how sharp his usually-silly Captain at times like this one.

While Luffy is a happy-go-lucky, carefree and reckless boy that really makes people doubt his authority as a Captain, the Straw Hat crews certainly know the refined qualities the boy possessed, enough for them to entrust their lives and dreams with.

"Let me rephrase that." Nami stepped in, having enough of Zoro's idiotic, meaningless questions. Her sharp glare clashed with the girl's uncaring ones. "Why are you interested in making alliance with us? Why now of all times?"

Fe almost blinked at that, almost. Finally, someone asked her a question that gets them going forward. "The Enies Lobby incident." she replied through one eye. "That one incident is huge enough for Los Lumos to notice your group." she sipped her tea. "You guys have made enemies of the World Government, haven't you?"

Nami face faulted. That's right. They have officially declared war against the World Government in the process of rescuing Robin, well, Luffy did anyway. No, she doesn't regret it one bit. Although, maybe Luffy could have done it better, so she wouldn't have a bounty on her head.

"Are you claiming that we share mutual enemies then?" Robin assumed logically. "The World Government is your enemies." it wasn't a question, but a statement.

The girl plays with her cup, swirling it slightly that the tea in the cup makes a hole in the middle. "Personally, I don't have that huge of a resentment. Call it a second-hand revenge, if you would." Fe answered as honest as she could, her gaze not leaving her cup.

"..a second-hand...revenge?" Chopper muttered quietly, keeping his safe distance from the girl while hiding himself in a wrong direction, with his body out in the view instead of hidden away. He is 'hiding' behind the slide, close enough to hear bits and bits of the conversation.
