I will only say this once, so read carefully. I do not own One Piece, the only thing I own are my own characters, for example, Alice. I will not be saying this every chapter for the sake of space. I admit, this is not my main account nor my first story. Some of you may even know the real me. Be as harsh as you want, but don't be stupid (trust me, you know what stupid is) and no flames. Happy readings!

Alice carefully pressed her back onto the tree, her breathing raspy and quiet. Her legs were trembling, definitely from the hours of running. Her ears perked up at the sound of light, heavy and loud footsteps. She sweatdropped. For being predators, they kinda sucked at it. She sucked in a breath. However, seeing as she let herself be cornered like this, she had no right to think that.

"Captain, her scent is lingering around here." a walking bear mumbled, her nose sniffing the area. The bear, which Alice found out weeks ago, was named Bepo. She cringed. She also knew Bepo knew how to throw a punch from hell. She pouted. She too, could throw a mean punch, but the most she could usually do was knock someone out with one hit, if hit in the right places. However, she had to admit, that itself was not too shabby.

Law smirked, "Good job, Bepo. Jean Bart," Law mumbled smoothly. Law's smirk turned sadistic, "Tear this forest down." he ordered calmly, as if ordering a cup of coffee. Alice scowled. How dare this man. Absolutely no respect for nature. Alice shrugged, not saying she herself gave a damn either. Alice was a hypocrite usually, she would always be the first to admit that. She was the worst, scum. She hated people with low self-esteem.

Law smiled as Jean Bart tore down tree by tree with ease, as if they were frail sticks stuck in the ground. Finally, after a month of playing mouse and cat, he had finally tracked the hypocritical girl down. She herself had admitted herself to be a hypocrite. In fact, that was the first thing she told him about herself. He chuckled lightly. She was an interesting girl for sure. He frowned slightly. However, mouse and cat can get boring if overplayed...

Alice scowled, a bead of sweat dripping down her neck. It would only be a matter of time before they find her. She has to act fast. Alice closed her eyes in concentration, debating over her choices. She wasn't physically weak, that was for sure, but she was more of a brute power girl more than anything. She didn't know any cool martial art moves, she didn't have fancy smancy magic known as a devil fruit power, and unless it was a rifle or gun, she doubted she could use weapons.

Alice opened her eyes slowly, however, she was still in the damned forest. The moon was covered tonight, and Alice didn't know whether that was supposed to be a blessing or bad omen. The clouds were moving slowly, occasionally letting a glimpse of light show, but it was always gone before it helped anyone. She smirked. She loved the darkness. For some reason, she could always see perfectly in the darkness. Even in complete darkness.

That is probably the only reason Law and his stupid crew haven't caught her yet. She loved her eyes, their interesting sky blue color always intrigued her. She would often catch herself staring at the mirror, simply admiring her eyes. On the bad side however, they were her most striking facial feature. It was damn easy to spot her in a crowd of people, just from her eye color. She rubbed her temples, no, don't go thinking about your eyes...again... She hated superficial people, but being the hypocrite she was, she herself was superficial in a way as well.

Alice couldn't give a damn what her body looked like, what clothes she wore, the last time she showered; which should've been a week ago, or if she was downright hideous, which she was not. However, Alice admitted that perhaps she was a tad superficial about her eyes. A loud crash brought her out of her conceited thoughts about how amazing and gorgeous her eyes were.

She frowned, her lips pressed together. They're actually intent on tearing this entire forest apart. A sigh brushed past her lips. They left her with no choice. She walked out from the tree she was hiding from, a determined look on her face. Law's lips curved upwards into a smug smirk. "So the coward finally decides to show herself..." he chuckled.

Alice hissed, "I hate cowards!" she yelled. Alice's eyes hardened, a brief glimpse of the moon making her eyes shine for a few seconds. She reached into her backpack, smirking when she found the object she was looking for. Law frowned, "Just come like a good girl and we won't harm you." he ordered. Alice smirked, "Ah, but you would force me..." she mumbled, her smirk slowly faltering. She shrugged, "I actually dunno what you would do, but I'm assuming it's bad." she added.

Law smiled, "We've been needing a helper, and someone with such brute strength, I'm sure would make a lovely asset." he answered calmly. Alice frowned, "But I don't want to join you. Why do you think I've been running away this whole time?" Alice asked sighingly. Law's smirk didn't falter. A month ago, her words would've aggravated him, thinking she was purposely trying to provoke him. However, now he knows she's just stupid. He was a man with a large vocab, but stupid always seemed to fit her best.

However, Law's smirk did falter slightly when a thought came into mind. She was indeed stupid, even ditzy sometimes, but the girl was surprisingly strategic and smart if the situation turned serious. Sure, he hasn't seen that side too many times, but if he was anyone else, she would've been a girl to fear once someone got on her dark side. Law chuckled, he himself however, was not going to fear some stupid teen girl.

Alice frowned, "You're insulting me, I know it." she answered bluntly. Law had to resist a chuckle. She was also blunt. Terribly blunt. She was so lucky she managed to escape those times she was too blunt. Alice sighed as she started pulling her arm out of her backpack. Law smirked. Let's see what she's thinking of this time.

Alice sighed. This was a stupid idea, something she preferred not to do, but they really have left her with no choice. She was a perfectionist when it came to strategizing, and this plan reeks of failure. She hates failure. Another thing to be hypocritical about since she's about to become one. She strolled towards Bepo, who instantly got into a defensive position. Alice's eyes narrowed, "You're a bear, why the hell do you walk like an idiot?" she scowled. She smirked in delight when he instantly started apologizing. So far so good. She frowned. The last two would be harder by far.

Law frowned. What a disappointment. Here he was expecting something good. Not tonight, he supposed. Alice turned to glare at him next. Law's eyes barely widened when she charged at him, her hands behind her back. Law sighed. She had failed his expectations. Big time. His hat shadowed his eyes. She's useless if she thinks she can defeat them like this.

Alice smirked when Law frowned, as if in disappointment, which he probably was. She clenched the long object behind her back, causing to crunch lightly. Her eyes flashed when she swung it.

Law's eyes widened. So does she have a plan after all? He swung his nodachi, cutting whatever she was holding in half. He didn't manage to catch a glimpse of what it actually was, since the girl was using her immense strength to move the object at high speeds. He frowned. Let down. Again. He should really just take her and get this over with.

Alice smirked, "Disappointed?" she teased knowingly. Law frowned, and there was a silent yes in his eyes. Alice grinned, "Think again." she mumbled. Barely had those words left her mouth before she whacked Law's face with the object. She smirked in amusement. It was a baguette. Everything was silent for a moment when everyone stood still, some trying to comprehend the situation.

Law's eyes narrowed as he averted his eyes to the girl, "Are you serious, Alice-ya?" he muttered, irritation more than anything evident in his voice. She smirked, "I've always known how much you loved bread so I've been meaning to give this to you." she answered happily. She took a few steps back, a pleased smile on her face.

Alice smirked when she reached into her bra, and pulled a gun out. Oh how she hated shameless people, always strutting their stuff. Alice wasn't shameless, pulling stuff out of her bra was perfectly normal. She tilted her head as she cocked the gun at Law, who was still staring at her boredly.

Law smirked, "Do you plan on shooting me, Alice-ya? It won't work." he chuckled. The whole situation was meaningless and pointless. He shouldn't have wasted his time and caught her when he had the chance. However, curiosity killed the cat, and he couldn't resist a possibly entertaining show.

Alice smiled dangerously, "Maybe." she cooed, her eyes sneakily following the sulking bear who was wandering away from the group with every apology. She aimed and shot, the bullet whizzing past Law's head, who didn't even flinch. "Give up. You lost-" Law sighed, rubbing his temples.

Both our eyes widened when a loud explosion resounded through the forest, a powerful wind whirling. The only difference was his eyes were widened in shock. Mine were widened in satisfaction. I suppose I really am a perfect strategist.
