"(Y/N)!" A voice shrieks.

I shoot up in bed, my eyes flying open. I scan the room and my eyes stop at a seething Kid with a venomous look in his eyes. I burst into laughter when I see his hair. It's green.

"Who did this?" He demands.

I smile mischievously. "I'm getting this room, you know."

"How dare you?!" He seethes, marching over to me.

"Oh, I dared!" I shoot back, jumping out of bed as he starts to chase me. I scream in laughter when I abruptly stop and stick out my leg in a lightening flash movement causing him to trip and go sprawling to the floor.

I stand above him as he glares at me menacingly. "I'll kill you soon, (Y/N)!"

I laugh, looming above him, a hand on my hip. "Yeah right. If you really wanted to, you'd already have tried."

"Tried? Don't you mean succeeded?" He smirks, standing up.

I roll my eyes. "Yeah right. Like you could beat me."

"And you chose to do something so cliché with my hair!" He's silent for a moment until he asks. "What's your berri bounty?"

I turn away, crossing my arms. "Not telling."

"Fine." He huffs. "I'll just go and check the school records." He turns to leave. "If you're stronger, I'll definitely beat you. Actually, I'll beat you no matter what."

With that he rushes off, sprinting down the hall. I run after him, still in my yellow pajamas with rubber ducks all over it, my hood with a ducks face pulled over my head. "No!" I shout, bolting after him, not caring if people laugh at my pajamas.

He exits Castle A and rushes towards the Main Castle. But suddenly, metal comes flying out of nowhere and bonks me on the back of my head. I go flying face-first to the ground. I sputter grass from my mouth, surprised. I look up an see Kid with a metal scrap arm, ready to punch a hole in the Main Castle. I smile in glee, getting up quickly.

"Let me help!" I shout. "If we destroy this place, we can escape."

"No." He replies, gruffly. "As much as I'd like to escape and kill you in the process, I need to find out your bounty."

"Why are you so adamant on finding out my bounty?!" I ask in a firm voice, crossing my arms.

He shrugs. "Just curious."

"Curiosity killed a cat." I state bluntly.

"I'm not going to die, little girl." He snorts.

My eyes flicker dangerously. "You better not try to find out my bounty."

He looks at me, confused. "What's it to you?"

"Could ask you the same." I retort.

"Already told you."

"What's your bounty?!"

"Not telling."

"Exactly." I say in an exasperated voice.

In a flash he turns and slams his fist through the stone wall. A loud crash is sounded as debris litters the once pristine grass. I watch in horror as Kid shoots through into the building, leaving me behind.

I scream and chase after him but he already has a head start. My bare feet touch the silky red carpets that adorn the hallways. I see a flash of red up front as Kid quickly rushes into the Main Office and slams the door shut.

I crash into it, face first and fall on the floor. It takes me a moment to recover and stand up again. I bang my fists on the door until I realize I'm wasting my time. I stand back, taking my dagger out of my hair that cascades down, framing my face. I slice the doors open and enter, fury in my eyes.

But I'm too late.

Kid stares in shock down at the paper in his hands. He slowly turns to look up at me, seeing the anger in my eyes. "H-how?" Is all he says.

I glare at him, walking up and swiftly snatching the paper out of his hands. I turn towards the filing cabinet and stuff the paper back in. I turn to leave but Kid grasps my wrist.

"Answer." He demands.

I glance at him with a cold expression. "There's a lot you don't know about me."

Abruptly, his cockiness comes flooding back. "I'll still kill you." He sneers.

"Try all you want." I say nonchalantly, yanking my wrist out of his hand. I leave without looking back at him. As I exit the building, I sigh.

What a way to start off the day.

Drowsiness hits me like a truck as my adrenaline starts to fade. I walk across the large stretch of land in the direction of my dorm.

I've been here for three weeks now. Everyday I eat my meals with the Strawhats and spend the weekends with them at the arcade. They're a fun bunch of people.

What if I did join their pirate crew?

How would my life be?

I think for a moment, trying to find the answer.

Adventurous. I finally decide.

And joyful.

Additionally, Kid and I have been pranking each other mercilessly. Last week I stuffed shards of glass into his shoes which in turn to he did the same but with my food instead.

So far, things are going just great.

Note the sarcasm.

~

I scream, running for my life, an enraged Zoro running at me. He got lost a few times but still managed to catch up. I blame my leg for that. I trip on a tree root and am sent sprawling onto the grass for the second time today.

Once more, I look up and spit grass out of my mouth. I scowl at him as he stands above me, a bored look in his eyes. "I didn't do anything!" I defend myself.

"Then who was it?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

I stand up, crossing my arms. "I'm not saying."

"And why is that?"

I look away, huffing out a breath. "Luffy." I finally admit.

"I thought it was him too. But it's just that you were at the crime scene."

I burst out laughing. "Crime scene?"

He holds up his sword that's covered in food. "Yeah. No one else was there except you."

"That's because Ussop grabbed Luffy yelling that you were going to kill him. I had no idea what was going on."

He grins deviously. "Want to get back at them?"

My eyes brighten at the idea. "Sure!" Both of us start towards the Arcademia where the two probably went when we run into Robin and Nami.

"Where are you guys off to?" Nami asks.

"The Arcademia for payback." Zoro and I say simultaneously.

"Mind if we tag along?" Robin smiles.

"You can help or watch. Either one is fine. Luffy got food all over Zoro's sword and Ussop and him ran." I reply.

Nami shakes her head, a sigh escaping her lips. "Luffy's obsessed with food."

"Don't you guys want to escape this place?" I question. "So that you can go back to sea of course."

"We do, but Luffy wants to stay a bit longer so he can enjoy the meat. But that changed recently when they cut down on his food supply, leaving him only enough to keep him going." Robin replies.

Nami sighs. "He only ever thinks about food."

I laugh. "That's pretty obvious." I catch Zoro taking a wrong turn from the corner of my eye and grab his arm, pointing him in the right direction.

"But why are you so eager to leave?" Robin asks. I shake my head.

How many times am I going to have to tell people?

"There's something important I have to do." Is all I say.

Suddenly, we hear a scream. We whip our heads straight towards the Arcademia, our destination. After sharing a glance, we bolt in its direction. I run as fast as I can, though my left leg wobbles.

Nami seems to notice. "Is there something wrong with your leg, (Y/N)?" There's concern laced in her voice.

I shake my head. "Nothing." I say, lying through my teeth.

We make our way though, dodging trees and gnarled roots, losing Zoro somewhere along the way. Finally we stop before the Arcademia. A larger group has already gathered. I push my way to the front and gasp when I see Ussop collapsed on the floor. Luffy kneels beside him, sobbing and holding onto Ussop.

I run over to them, Robin and Nami following. I kneel beside Luffy, taking Ussops head into my lap. I look up at the faces around me. "What happened?" I demand, desperate for an answer.

"We don't know." Someone answers. "He suddenly collapsed."

I glance at Luffy. "He's dead!" Luffy wails. I look back down at Ussop, worry etched on my face. He's still breathing thankfully. That's a relief but then I notice a deep, fatal gash on his side that I was too blind to notice before since I was blinded by fury.

"He's alive, Luffy." I say, consoling him. Immediately the rubber boy stops crying, a dark look crossing his face. He stands, hand on his hat. He swiftly picks up Ussop as I scan the faces around us venomously.

"If any of you are responsible for this, I'll kill you." I say in deadly voice. I quickly follow Luffy who walks back towards the campus, heading for the infirmary.

What exactly happened?

~

I storm, enraged into the Main Office. Doflamingo looks up from his desk, grinning evilly.

"Do you know what happened?!" I demand.

He leans back in his chair and laughs. "Fufufu. What do you speak of?"

I walk up to the desk and slam my fist down, breaking it in half. "One of your students, my friend, was poisoned." I seethe, leaning in close to his face, my anger threatening to take over completely.

He raises an eyebrow. "Explain."

I glower at him. "He was cut by a blade dripped in poison. Someone here is responsible."

"And what exactly do you expect me to do about it?" He inquires, his voice still calm and that stupid smile still on his face.

"What kind of school is this?!" I shriek, completely appalled, taking a few steps back away from the broken desk.

"A school for delinquents." He replies, smoothly, his gaze never wavering.

"And are you going to do anything to find the culprit responsible?" I spit out.

He thinks for a moment. "Did anyone see it happen?"

"No." I say. "The bystanders said he suddenly collapsed without warning."

"Interesting. I may know the reason."

"And what is that?" I scowl, waiting for him to get to the point.

"You know, this school is hundreds of years old." He says, getting up from him chair. I wait for him to continue, losing my patience. "This originally used to be a prison. Hundreds and thousands of criminals were executed here. They had to close it down though." My eyes widen.

What?!

"Just a few years ago, I bought this property though the seller tried to stop me from buying it. But I did. And now it's a school for delinquents like you." He states, walking over to look out the window.

"And what exactly are you getting at?"

"This school probably is haunted by those who were killed here hundreds of years ago." He says, nonchalantly. "Your friend was probably just a victim of their wrath."

"What the hell?!" I screech, slamming my fist into the wall. My eyes begin to flicker dangerously once more. My rage threatens to blind me when suddenly the door flies open.

Luffy runs in screaming, out of breath. His panicked eyes meet mine. "(Y/N)!"

My eyes widen in alarm. "What happened?"

"It's Chopper." He gasps.

That's all he has to say before I'm sprinting out the door with him following behind.

What's wrong with this school?!
