(Starrk's POV)
I got my ass beat.
Yup. Nothing more to it. I almost died fighting Kizaru. Although I think he's going by Borsalino by this time.
I swung at him a couple times and he blasted me with lasers. Its a miracle I'm still alive. And here I thought this body would give me some sort of edge.
I was being held captive in one of the Navy Warships. These damn marines had me chained up in the deck of the ship for everyone to see. Which I don't understand why. Shouldn't they just take me to a prison cell or something?
They did take my sword though. Which sucks. Just when I got it and was told not to lose it.
The Marines had left the island and were sailing in the sea. I overheard some of them talking and how they were gonna take me to one of their bases.
I merely knelt down in the floor, chained up.
I was looking down at as I felt blood trickle down my cheek.
What the hell did I do to deserve this? I never did anything to anyone. All I wanted was to live a quiet an peaceful life while studying and trying to get a good career. I wanted to write..
Now I'm in this world and I'm in this stupid warship held prisoner.
I looked up at the sky, the blue sky. It's been a while since I've actually taken a good look at it. It was pretty. It was soothing for some reason.
I felt the salty breeze hit my face. Somehow, it felt serene being there, despite the situation.
I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of the waves hitting the side of the ship. Ignoring the noises of the bitch ass marines, it was quite peaceful.
I then heard footsteps approach me.
"You seem calm for someone being held prisoner." I opened my eyes to see a young woman looking at me
She was wearing the navy uniform, a white shirt and blue pants. She had her white cap too. She didn't seem like an officer since she didn't have the coat.
I looked at her face, she was pretty. She had green eyes and blonde hair. Not even gonna lie, her body was kinda nice too.
She merely looked at me as she crossed her arms.
I blinked, "And you are?"
"Hmph." She said, "As if I am gonna answer to a criminal!"
I sighed, "I'm not a criminal…" i said, "This is all a misunderstanding.."
She scoffed, "You attacked an officer of the navy!" She exclaimed, "How does that not make you a criminal?"
I scowled, "It was self defense!" I said, "He attacked me unprovoked! Is that what you marines do?! Attack civilians unprovoked?! No wonder Pirates fucking hate you lot. A bunch of assholes!"
She bent over and glared at me, "You're not a civilian!" She growled, "You're a criminal! You don't have a proper bounty poster or anything, but we had information about you!"
"What Kinda information?" I asked
"Apparently you have ties to one of the Yonko!" She said, "To Whitebeard!"
Whitebard? What the fuck was she talking about?! Whitebeard is dead! Wait. No. This isn't in the current storyline. This is before it even started. So Whitebeard had to be alive by this time.
"Me? Affiliated with Edward Newgate?" I said, "Give me a break! I don't know the man!"
That also tells me that the higher ups in the marines didn't tell the lower ranked ones, which i assume this girl is a low ranked one, about the rumor about me. Unsurprising. The letter did mention Imu. Which obviously is a secret to everyone else.
But not to me….
The girl looked at me and straightened up.
"What's your name?" She asked
I frowned, "What's it to you?"
She shrugged, "I don't know." She said, "I have a soft spot for idiots like you."
I scowled, "Who're you calling idiot, stupid!" I growled
Before she said anything else, I saw as Borsalino stepped up next to her. She saw him and immediately saluted him.
"Sir!" She said as she trembled slightly
"Hmm..?" He said as he looked at her, "Anne.. have you finished your chores?"
"Yessir!" She said
"Okay." He said, "Leave me be with the prisoner. I have some questions to ask him."
She nodded and walked away.
Good. She was getting on my nerves.
I then looked up at Borsalino who looked at me with amusement.
"You look well." He said, "Seems your wounds have healed."
He was right. I didn't feel like shit.
"Yea, and?" I said
"Let me ask you a few questions." He said,
"About Whitebeard."
