"Calm,"
The word left your lips and you start toward the ship in silence. The pirates were fast asleep on board. Your shadow smoothly passes over some of them as you go below deck. You silently peer into each room, looking. You eventually found what you were looking for in a windowless room. You werent very thrilled to find the safe in a room with only one exit. Shrugging off your uneasiness you enter the room and shut the door before going to the safe and starting to try combinations.
After a few minutes, you get frustrated and kick the desk next to the safe. You straighten up and light cigarette, something you did when you became annoyed. You watch the smoke drift toward the ceiling for a bit before putting out the cigarette and returning to the safe. Few minutes later you hear people in the hall way and hide under the desk, waiting for them to pass.
"You sure Killer? No one is dumb enough to steal from us," A gruff voice says as they enter the room.
"Yes Kidd, I heard something," Another voice assures. You ready your gun, listening carefully. They walk over to the safe. You peer out carefully, watching the combination they put in. '4-6-4-4-18,' You memorize. They open the safe.
"Nothing's missing," Kidd comments.
"Ah, well I'm still going to check the ship, I can't shake this feeling," Killer says as Kidd closes the safe. They go out the room. You carefully peer at the door before going back to the safe. You got to the second four when you sense something and duck instinctively. A blade grinds against the safe, sending sparks flying. You quickly leap up, headbutting him in the chin and making him stagger back. You swiftly trip him and pin his arms down with your legs as you sit on his chest, gun steadily pointed at his head.
A gun barrel presses into your temple but you barely give the other man a glance. "Looks like you were right Killer," The one pointing a gun at you says.
"I told you," Killer grumbles, you could feel his eyes on you despite the mask.
"Let him go," Kidd tells you.
"Shouldn't have came back in here.... What gave me away?" You ask Killer, not lowering your gun.
"Everyone who smokes, do it on the deck," He replies.
"Nasty habit.... Lower your gun and I'll lower mine," You tell Kidd. Kidd hesitates but does so. You swiftly burst past him, running for the deck. A tall man with shaggy blue hair comes into the hall, opening his mouth. You flip back as flames burst out of his mouth. 'Shit,' You think, turning and running the other way. Killer crashes into you, pinning you to the wall with a blade pressed against your throat.
A dry laugh escapes you as you try to find his eyes within that helmet of his. "You're really troublesome," You huff, raising your chin as if to offer more of your neck to him.
"What should we do with her captain?" He asks, turning his head away from you.
"Just kill her, why do you have to ask?" Kidd snorts. Killer hesitates and you pull out a grenade, hooking the pin with your teeth.
"Go ahead, just know you're coming with... So tired of being alone," You tell him, gripping his shirt collar. There was a long, tense moment as you stared eachother down.
"Don't we need a thief?" Killer asks Kidd suddenly, making you and the captain blink in surprise.
"That's right, what are you getting at? You want her to join us?" Kidd questions.
"She did almost rob us blind," Killer points out, relaxing his blade against your neck. Kidd thinks for a moment, looking at you for a few moments.
"Alright, but you're in charge of her," Kidd sighs, walking away. With that, Killer releases you. You lower the grenade, still in shock.
"What's your name?" Killer asks.
"___,"
"Welcome to the crew ___," He says before walking you to the deck.

'Asleep?' You think, peering into the living room. "Calm," You whisper, putting a hand to your chest briefly. You carefully approach the couch where Killer was snoring softly. You lean over him, chewing on your lip slightly as you reach for the blasted helmet which hid his face in a shadow of mystery. Your fingers glide across the scratched and slightly smooth surface of the helmet, finding a spot to grip his helmet. Before you can start to lift it, voices in the hall catch your ear.
Letting out a silent growl, you flip over the couch and hide behind it. "Hey Killer, wake up! We just reached land," Kidd says, briefly stepping into the room.
"Hm? Oh, yeah, coming captain," Killer yawns sitting up. You stifle a sigh as he goes out. You get up and head out to deck after him, taking off your silent power. Yes, you had eaten the nagi-nagi fruit, which made whatever you want be quiet, whether it be you, or some space. Not the most amazing power, but it suited you.
"Ah! Sleeping Beauty has woken up early today," Kidd comments, spotting you when you come on to deck. You give a slight bow to make him laugh, but only earn a chuckle. It's only been a few days since you joined the crew, but you were already accustom to the crew, and vice versa. "What are you doing moving around this early any way?" He asks. You offer a slight shrug, glancing at the town. It's not like you couldn't talk, you just preferred meaningful conversations. "Well, whatever, here's your cut to spend," He says, tossing you a small sack of beri.
You shake the sack, enjoying the sound it made. Feeling another pair of eyes on you, you look over to see Killer's head turned in your direction. You pat the side of his helmet before jumping off the ship and onto the pier. You walk around town for a while but the only thing to catch your eye was Killer browsing through some books. You walk over and tip the book up to read the title.
"Hm? What's up ___?" He asks.
"I like that one," You comment, tapping the book. Killer pauses in surprise since he hadn't really expected an answer.
"Oh, guess I'll get it then," He muses. You look around the book store and let out a slight sigh. "Something wrong?" He inquires. Your shoulders droop and you hand him your sack of beri. "Can't find anything again huh?" He guesses.
"Nothing here interests me," You sigh. You look back at him, "Well, except for one thing," You add, rubbing your neck.
"What's that?" He asks, tilting his head. You close your mouth and shrug, turning away. ".... And she goes back to being silent," He sighs. You start back toward the ship, Killer falls in step with you. You glance over at him.
"Can I ask you something?" You inquire.
"Sure," He says.
".... Why didnt you kill me?" You murmur. Killer pauses.
"Because you were going to blow up the ship if I did," He replies.
"That's not what I meant...." You sigh. Killer looks at you silently for a few minutes.
"Would you rather be dead?" He asks. You think for a bit before shaking your head.
"No... I'm just trying to understand you... I normally can figure people out by their expression," You admit. You tap the center of his mask. "Pain in the ass thing," You grumble.
