(This all takes place in the fictional world of one piece)

[My Pov]

You could tell that today was gonna be a crazy day, at my uncles bar people came and ordered drinks one after thee other until it surely became a bar fight. I was only 18 so I couldn't do much to stop it

"S-sir please no fighting in the bar" I tried to stop the two men from fighting but only got harshly pushed back into the bar while they both continued to fight.

I heard the bell at the door ring meaning a customer had just walked in

"Hey fella's why don't ya quit your fighting, from the looks of it your giving this Young woman a hard time, so why don't you stop acting like animals And straighten yourselves out" suddenly a voice said but when I looked to where the voice was coming from I was shocked to see a raven haired man standing in the doorway of the bar.

The men still continued to fight, causing a devious smirk to come to the males lips

"Well looks like we'll have to do this the hard way" suddenly a blaze of fire attacked the first mans back and he fell over rolling on the ground attempting to put out the fire he was attacked with

As for the man he was so surprised his jaw hung low but he quickly reacted in fear realizing the man he was up against and ran out of the bar, soon after the other male followed.

"Heh good riddance" Ace smirked, before gazing around "hm? Where'd that woman go?" He asked looking around; I had hid behind the bar and hoped he wouldn't find me, I had realized who he was when that flame flew into the man's back.

"Ah there you are" he peaked behind the bar finding me hiding "Don't worry I won't hurt ya, well, as long as you don't pick a fight that is" he said squatting down beside me, I froze in fear and some of my short brown hair was hanging in my face covering one of my eyes.

"Huh? You got a little something there" he pushed the few locks of hair away from my eye and his eyes widened slightly

My eye was black and purple, also a bit swollen. Apparently when trying to stop the fight before he came in, I had got hit when I was pushed back.

"Man that doesn't look so good... here let me help you" he grabbed one of my hands and pulled me up to my feet

"You should really see a doctor for that, he could give you something for the swollen bit" he recommended before pulling me out of the bar

"Wait! But I can't leave yet the bar!" I looked back "don't worry about it I flipped the sign to closed before we walked out, I'd be more concerned about your eye if I were you" he said bluntly; I did soften a bit when he said he switched the sign over but still I was worried!

Shortly we we're at the doctors or so I assumed but when I looked in front of us I saw a pirate ship!

"T-this isn't the doctors..." I muttered in which he heard me

"There's some nurses on the ship that I'm sure would be plenty of help so don't panic, I'm not kidnapping you or anything" he chuckled in amusement, to actually think I thought he might've been doing such things, what an interesting reaction.

[time skip; Ace's pov]

Once I had gotten her to the nurses they had took her to get her fixed up, in the meantime I waited outside the door leaning against the wall

"Hey!" I heard Thatch call out to me "I didn't know you showed interest in kidnapping pretty woman Ace" he chuckled teasingly with a smirk

I huffed and crossed my arms with a frustrated 'Tch' while blushing darkly "I wouldn't do no such thing Thatch, I was simply trying to help her. though, she seemed a bit scared of me. Who can blame her" I spoke looking up at the tall male puffing out my cheeks

"Righttt whatever you say" he shook his head with his arms crossed chuckling before walking off to the kitchen to attend to his duty's as the chef of this ship.

Letting out a sigh, I couldn't say I was entirely sure why I helped her, I mean I'm a pirate not to mention the son of the pirate king Gol D. Roger. But the question that I asked myself is, if she trusted me enough to follow me could she be someone... that would stay?; could she be different from most people who see a pirate? What if this is some sort of fate that we met? I know it's odd to assume of that now but I just got this feeling that I can't seem to get rid of.

I just wanna know, if I asked her to stay, would she?

(End of chapter 1 ^^ sorry if it's crappy or a bit short I was sorta just writing off the top of my head and making things up as I go (it's easier for me) but I think This wasn't so bad but I hope I can improve throughout the story ^v^ have a good day/night)
