Chapter 3: Wanted To Be Known For Something Else

Third Person

"Time's up, Trafalgar!" the vice admiral yells. "Do you surrender or not?!" After a few seconds, the Surgeon of Death steps out of the hut without his nodachi. The Squadron moves in to arrest the pirate, having no idea what he has up his sleeves.

"Room," Law whispers, a blue dome enlarging itself until it encases a medium sized boulder that was behind the squadron.

"Get him before he does something!" the officer screeches, fully aware of the power of the Ope Ope No Mi. But the other officers tackle Law too late as he switches the boulder for a blue tiger that has a long rope in her mouth.

She waits until Law switches himself for the same boulder that she replaced before. When he does, she pounces on the officer's back, making him get a face full of sand before running circles around the officers that surround the boulder.

When she finishes, Yue is laughing internally as she gives the rope a great yank. This causes the squadron to be bounded to the boulder. However, the vice admiral recognizes the blue tiger from the previous night when he raises his head to see what the misfit cat has done.

"MIKAMIIIII!!!" the officer roars at Yue, making her turn around to face him. He pulls his pistol out, only to be pounced on once more. He looks up to see the total anger in the tiger's eyes, making him sweat slightly. She then opens her mouth, as if to crush the vice admiral's skull, only for a roar, possibly loud enough for the all people of Hala Island to hear, to erupt from the tiger's throat. After five seconds, the roar ceases. When Yue looks to see vice admiral passed out, she gives a satisfied snort before getting off the Marine. But before she goes back to the hut, she takes up the pistol and slices it in two with her powerful claws.

"Oi, oi!" one of the bounded officers hollers at the cat when she passes the boulder. "You do realize that you're going to be arrested for assisting a criminal?!" Yue then rears up to put her front paws on the officer that was now shaking out of fear. The tiger then shifts from the powerful cat to the violet haired, fourteen year old girl that's smiling like a kid.

"Why should I worry?" Yue chuckles. "After all, even if I didn't help out Mr. Trafalgar, I was still gonna be arrested for stealing 'World Government Property'. That's unless I get a pardon for doing that, but I highly doubt that . So, if my life is destined to be a pirate's life, so be it."

And with that, Yue walks proudly back into the hut to see the Surgeon of Death impressed with the young pirate's skills on handling the Marines.

"Not what I expecting, but that was original," Law comments. "But one thing I want to know: How come you didn't kill that vice admiral when you had the chance?"

"Because I don't want to be known as a killer," was Yue's reply. "If someone doesn't do anything to me or my friends, I won't do anything to them. And if I'm dragged into something that I can't get out of, then I have no choice but to fight whoever I have to fight.

"I don't leave anyone behind for them to fight alone or to die, regardless of who they are. If I have to, I'll fight their fights for them if they need my help the most.

"I don't want be known as some ruthless criminal with a lousy bounty for killing a Marine in cold blood. I want to be known as a person that pirates such as yourself can depend on. And if anyone says anything different, I'll make sure they're corrected on facts.

"So to put it short," Yue lifts her head to look at Law straight in the eye. "I want to be the Top Cat of the world, and I'm going to let World Government know that I'm gonna do everything in my power to reach that goal." When she finishes, Yue goes into the hut to pack what she can, leaving the elder pirate in surprise on what he just heard from the young teen. But he remembers that she has the "D" in her name, meaning that she can be a total threat to the World Government.

"Mikami D. Yue, you're really going have the world upside down when the time comes for it to know you as a powerful young woman," Law could only think and say with a smile as he follows the violette to give her an offer that she can either accept or turn down.
