Thread: One Piece: Exploring The New World (LadyAthene & Silverknight)

Captain Tashigi The bread was quickly consumed and soon after, Tashigi felt herself beginning to nearly drift off. Numerous flashbacks - good, bad, or otherwise - flooded her mind as her eyes stayed closed, her muscles steadily relaxing with each second that ticked away. Punk Hazard -- that isle had been full of many adventures and memories. There were an equal amount of those she wanted to forget and those that she wanted to remember. One that fell under the latter had been saving the children whom had been enslaved, manipulated, basically brain washed. ... Why did you feel so obligated, anyway? As an only child whom hadn't been raised by the best of parents, Tashigi very likely came off as the last person whom would bother helping out children. The easiest answer came in the form of her morale compass, which had screamed for her to help them out. Deep down though, she knew that wasn't it. ... Do you ... want some of your own? The rhetorical inquiry made her blush slightly. Maybe. It wasn't an impossible thought. Actually being able to do that, however, was a very different story, more so now that she was a captain with the Marines. There were just too many chores and obligations to worry about and not enough time to focus on herself, let alone finding anyone who would want to start a family as well. Besides .... That was as far as she got before a familiar voice made her eyes quickly shoot open. What the hell are you doing here, No ... Sure enough though, there he was. In the doorway - with his own blade drawn - was none other than Law himself. A frustrated growl passed her lips as she stood up and unsheathed Shigure. Rather than moving forward though, she took a step back. His range with his ROOM technique was ... insane. She'd already learned that first hand once she had no intentions of seeing if he had worked on that or not. Me?! she repeated, rolling her eyes as she kept her own sword held out in front of her, That ... fine! It doesn't matter but if you really must know, I'm here on Marine business. What of you, hm?! What the the hell are you doing?! Her eyes narrowed as Law continued to bombard her with questions. Apparently, just the simple 'why are you here?' wasn't good enough for him. Where is your unit and your superior right now, I don't have to answer to you, she spat back. I gave you one freebie already. That's all you're getting from --- Then, of course, he found the perfect inquiry to toss over to her. It was the only thing she would even consider replying to. The kids were you able to get them to help, Yes, Tashigi answered quickly. The faintest of smiles - a very proud one, at that rate - began to spread over her face. Yes, I did. They're alright now. I made sure no situations like the one we got them out of will ever happen again. Her head shook as the captain's mind made her remember whom she was talking to. She waited silently for his answer. But before Law could explain himself, a new noise made Tashigi's head turn. A violent crash of lightning and thunder landed on the island. Her brows furrowed as she watched the light flash through the sky before sighing and turning back to Law. We may as well call it a truce for now. There's no way you're going to create enough ROOMs out there and avoid getting struck. Besides, this may be the only shelter on the island. It was the first I found anyway. Either way, I'm not risking ruining this shelter by fighting you in it. Fair?
