"What kind of adventure?" said the young Aiko giving out a confused expression.

"Hmm... I'm not sure actually!" The small boy exclaims, "but that's the best part! It's a mystery, and a good one too!"

Aiko looks at him in awe, "let's go on one!" She suggests, excitedly lifting herself up. "We can't..." he replies, "well at least, I can't".

"I don't think mommy would allow it either" she pouts taking a seat again with her arms crossed.He let out a soft chuckle before his voice switches to a sad tone "it's a little... different, in my case".

"Whattya mean?" She asks, getting a little curious. She may have known him for a long time, but he never seemed to reveal much about his family or anything personal to Aiko.

"Never mind that!" He suddenly shouts, causing Aiko to jump a little, "when we're bigger and stronger let's sail out to sea together! Right, Aiko?!"

"Do you think she's alive?"

"Maybe she's just sleeping".

"No way, she's dead. For sure".

"That's a lil' sad, her breasts are great!".

The annoying chatters of these strange voices caused Aiko to snap awake. As her eyes adjusted to the bright light and her surroundings, she let out a shocked scream.

Pirates?! This can't be! she thought to herself as she made an attempt to move, only to find that her arms had been tied tightly behind her back with a thick rope. She groaned at her aching back, "what am I doing here?!" She cries, "let me go at once!"

Although, her angry screams and shouts only seemed to amuse the small crowed of pirates that stood before her, "should we get the captain first, or Killer?" One of them asks, "Killer said to keep an eye on her till she wakes up" one of the men reply.

"Well I'm awake, am I not?! Let me speak to your captain!" Aiko shouts, blowing her long fringe out of her eyes. The crew laughed at what she had just said, "you want to speak to the captain?!" They laugh as I she throws them a scowl.

"I don't think you know what you're in for..." a voice emerges from behind the small crowed, they all step back as they made way for a tall man, his face couldn't be seen as a striped blue and white mask covered his entire face. "You..." Aiko whispers, realizing it was the same person who had knocked her out. "Why am I here?" She asks, her voice lowers as the man brings himself closer to her.

"You'd be useful" he says, Aiko could feel him smirking behind that mask of his. "Let me go! You filthy pirate!" She barks, attempting to stretch her legs and kick him. "We'll let the captain decide" he calmly says, dodging the kick. Killer then clicks his fingers, signaling one of the men to call the captain over.

Eustass Kid, the infamous pirate and one of the 11 Supernovas, even with his head worth 315,000,000 beli it's almost common sense for a bounty hunter to know that going after Kid is practically suicide.

"Killer, what's this?" A gruff voice comes from behind the masked man, "captain" Killer begins, "I found her wandering in the woods" he explains.

Aiko's anger had completely been wiped out inside of her as fear replaced it, she struggled to keep her breathing under control as she saw the captain step in front of her. "So, what do we need with this piece of shit" he scoffs. She then lifts her head up to face him, she gasped to herself in surprise. He was so young! He had flaming, spiky red hair, his skin was extremely pale but he was covered in muscles. And despite his strange attire, Aiko couldn't help but find the pirate handsome. But these were just his looks, from what she had just heard this guy was a complete asshole.

"Piece of shit...?" Aiko says, slowly raising her voice, "how dare you! Like you're one to talk pirate!"

Before Kid could shout back Killer quickly interrupts, "Captain, judging from her outfit she looks like she belongs in that mansion we raided last night".

"That's not true! I don't belong in such a place!" She argues, "then explain the expensive dagger found in that bag of yours" Killer says, pulling out her dagger causing her to clench her teeth together in frustration, "I doubt just any normal civilian would be carrying such a jewel".

"Killer! This doesn't explain why we need her aboard the ship" Kid says, starting to get annoyed. "Imagine how much those wealthy people and filthy World Nobels would pay for her as a slave, not to mention her looks are a bonus" Killer replies, as Aiko gulps in fear.

Kid looks back down to her with an evil smirk, "I suppose we'll keep her until we get to Sabaody". 

"Wait!" Aiko shouts, she could feel tears well in her eyes, but she refused to let them out. "You can't do this!" Her breathing suddenly became heavy as she panicked, no... I don't want to be a slave for the rest of my life.

"Too late" Kid says not feeling the least bit sorry for her. "Lock her up" he signals as Killer grabs her arm and pulls her up her feet. She couldn't quite walk properly with her numbs legs, "quickly" Killer says giving her rope a tug.

He then opens a door to a dark room located at the bottom of the ship, he pushes her into it as her face fell flat on the ground. He quickly unties the rope as Aiko slowly lifts herself up the filthy, cold floor. She curses under her breath as soon as she heard the metal door shut behind her, "try not to die" she heard Killers voice from outside.

She waited till his footsteps were faint enough till she couldn't hear them. As soon as they were gone she huddles up to the small corner of the room, she felt as if she had given up all hope. She sighs to herself as she felt hot tears roll down her pale cheeks, the dark room reminded her of a the punishment her parents would always use on her, she would get locked inside a pitch black room for hours until she had reflected on what she had done wrong. But this time Aiko felt as if she did nothing wrong, she didn't regret leaving the mansion even if she was captured by pirates. Just as long as he ambition burned strongly inside of her, although she repeating one question to herself.

What am I going to do?
