A party, a question and a confession

I brought my purchases on board and entered Law's cabin. "You are finally back ... It's already evening!" "I'm sorry ... We probably forgot the time, but at least I have everything I need now. If you don't mind, I would like to take a shower before we go Go on. "" Go on ?! What are you going to do now, Bel? "" Oh right! We haven't told you that yet! Well I promised Bepo, Penguin and Shachi to buy them a drink and they have Made the suggestion that we then all go to a bar and celebrate my entry. ”“ Shouldn't you ask the captain first before you decide something like that ?! ”I hung my head. He was right and I knew it. "But I don't think that's a bad idea! So let's go then!" I raised my head and smiled. "That's great! So I'll have a quick shower and put on something else. Then I'll come." I grabbed a shopping bag and went into the bathroom. I took off my clothes, got into the shower and let the warm water run over my body. 'That feels good! You forget the stress of yesterday! 'I hurried up and put on a black miniskirt, a red, tight-fitting top and black ballerinas. 'So! We can start now! 'I stepped out of the bathroom in Law's cabin. When I noticed that it was empty, I went on deck. The whole team was waiting for me there. "Ahh ... Bel finally you are there! So we can start now." "Sure guys! Let's go!" As so often everyone started to laugh. 'The team is just amazing! I think Law is lucky to have such a crew! 'We walked into town and soon found a typical pirate pub. We spent the whole evening there and held many a drinking contest. 'The boys really know how to party! Thank god I can cope with a lot ... 'Again and again the boys challenged me and again and again I won. “You are good, Bel!” “Thank you!” “But you have no chance against our captain!” “I accept the challenge!” Now I looked at Law. "What is? Are you going to participate?" "If it has to ..." "So yes! Well! Who can do more ..." I tried hard and downed one beer after the other, but in the end Law won. "What a bummer! I admit defeat!" "Hah! We said you have no chance against Law! Well done, Captain ..." In the meantime Law was in a better mood, which was probably due to the 15 beers. We continued celebrating and got along really well until we went back to the ship at around 3 a.m. “Hey guys!” “What's up Bel?” I heard that most of them had had a little too much to drink. "You really know how to party!" "Haha! Thank you, but you also got involved!" "Well ... I can take a lot!" "We saw that!" After a while we came to the " Death ". "Man I'm done! I'll go to sleep in a minute. Night boys!" "Night Bel!" I went into Law's cabin and grabbed my black hot pants and a white top. With that, I disappeared into the bathroom and changed. When I came out again, Law was standing in front of me. "Oh god! Law ... don't scare me like that!"A cheeky grin crossed his face but he didn't say anything. I walked past him to my mattress and lay down. Law went into the bathroom. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. After 15 minutes Law came out of the bathroom. He only had a towel tied around his waist and stood in front of his wardrobe. "Argh ... Damn! What is he doing ?! He can see that I'm not sleeping yet!" I immediately closed my eyes and turned around. I heard Law laugh, "Have you never seen a naked man ?!" "" So first of all you're half-naked and second of all ... of course! It's just that I'm not used to seeing my captain ... half-naked. "Law kept laughing." You can open your eyes again, I'm under the covers. "" Okey ... "When I opened my eyes the cabin was already dark." Law? "He just growled" Mhm ... "" May I ask you something? " "What? "" Why ... did you ... take me in? "

'Hrgh! I didn't expect this question to come up so early ... 'I answered her question almost honestly. "I saw you fight and was impressed. I also noticed that you don't like Eustass ... Well .. I hate him too." I heard Mirabel laugh. "And you have no problem with it?" "What should I have a problem with?" "So that I have a higher bounty than you. You know ... I've sailed with a lot of pirates and I always heard the same thing. As long as I did as I didn't fight and acted like a helpless girl, everything was fine ... If you can call it that. The men tried again and again to use me as a personal toy and called me "little one". That is also the reason why I hate that word so much. They couldn't live with the fact that I was stronger than I pretended to be, stronger than them. That might seem stupid to you, but that's exactly why I'm the way I am now ... "At first I was amazed that she had told me something about her past so honestly but then I started to laugh. “I knew it, that you think that's ridiculous!” “Right! I think it's ridiculous and how these men behaved and why you minded!” “What ... do you mean that ?!” “It There are many men who feel intimidated by the strength of a woman, but that you worry so much about it ... Both of these are ridiculous! Why do you care what others think of you? It doesn't matter! It depends what you think of yourself! "

A few tears ran softly down my cheeks. I wiped them away with the back of my hand. “You're the first to see it that way.” “There's a first time for everything and everyone.” “Thank you, Captain ...” “You don't have to say thank you.” I slowly fell asleep. "I see it differently ..." Law started to smile. "Sleep well Mirabel." "Likewise ... Law."
