Opposites Attract

Setting the Stage

Right after the Auctioneer slammed his gavel down, the audience watched in disbelief as multiple Flying Fish crashed into the auction house from the ceiling.

As the debris settled, Zoro and Ina emerged coughing.

The green haired swordsman thought they were going back to the Sunny but Ina ignored his questions to whirl on Luffy beside her- giving him, and the shocked hall, a mouthful about their landing.

"You just had to make an dramatic entrance! What is with you and falling from the sky? I can't feel my legs.." Ina yelled at the distracted Captain but his focus was dead set on the lit stage.

"Look over there its Camie!"

Luffy didn't listen to anything else as he started to run down the steps to the giant tank holding their captured friend.

Taking action as well Zoro spotted the other crew members in the room and walked over towards them leaving Ina alone near the crashed planes.

"Yeah just leave me here, I'm totally fine." Ina said sarcastically and leaned on the wall, not noticing the other Pirate crew in the audience staring at her in intrigue.

After a while she felt a presence staring at her and it drew her gaze away from the commotion Luffy was causing to a tall red haired male that was standing right next to her.

"Hey, you come here often?"

Unfortunately Ina's attention was quickly snatched away and she missed Kid's bewildered face when a single gunshot rang out in the auction house.

Everyone in attendance reacted as a series of events pushed Luffy over the edge.

Something negative must've been said since he drew his fist back and punched a Celestial Dragon clean across the room much to everyone's horror.

Ina suddenly had the energy to cheer her friend on and limped from the wall to do just that.

"Woo, do it again Luffy!! That's my Captain!" The praise was well received by multiple people in the room, the most astonished being Eustass Kid.

'This girl a Straw Hat?'

He observed Ina with a new set of eyes knowing that each crew member of the Straw Hats was a powerhouse in their own right. Yet he had never seen a wanted poster for this girl. Who was she?

Kid watched as the ragtag crew leapt into action, each member attacking a guard but working together like a well oiled machine.

He witnessed more people, one that he recognized as Usopp by his wanted poster, crash into an elder Dragon from above causing more guards to try and gain control of the auction house.

During all of the commotion Kid kept a close eye on the tiny female that caught his eye.

She personally hadn't attacked anyone, merely skipping around the room like a mascot providing words of encouragement to the Straw Hats and fueling the chaotic energy in the hall.

His curiosity spiked when a guard prepared to cut her down yet she somehow sensed his presence and dodged right before Zoro swooped in to knock the attacker out for her.

She said something to the swordsman that irked and caused him blush, but he shook it off and he ran back into the fray to help his crew mates.

Like magnets, fiery colored eyes met a deep brown and Kid realized then, 'She knew I was watching her this entire time.'

Her wink confirmed his thoughts and she waved at him in passing as her crew mates escaped the auction house.

"That confirms it. They're all insane." Kid said while shaking his head.

Not much time has passed when Kid, Law, and Luffy stood outside the auction house arguing over who would take out the Navy men standing in their way.

Each Captain wasted no time showing off their Devil Fruit powers while terrifying the marine officers failing to hold their ground against them.

It was a short standoff but for a split second, Kid's attention was stolen by that mysterious girl.

The Straw Hats were running towards the awaiting Flying Fishes when Kid repelled the surrounding area. pulling all nearby metals to his hand.

Ina's feet lost traction sending her airborne until Robin's quick thinking and blooming hands dragged Ina back and away from the random magnetic pull.

Kid was stumped as to what he just witnessed.

'Is she?... I didn't see any weapons on her. So why was she drawn to my magnetism?' Kid wondered to himself.

It was another head scratcher to add to his growing list. He'd think about it later, right now his crew needed to leave.

Somehow an Admiral decided to intervene and Kid knew when to pick him battles.

As he prepared to flee he almost missed the eerie voice that entered and echoed inside of his head. It startled him at first since he didn't know if his mind was playing tricks on him until he recognized the voice from earlier.

"I can't wait to see you in the New World."

He only heard it briefly today but the voice was distinct enough for him to recognize it's owner.

Kid locked eyes with the elusive female who winked at him from the back of a motorboat, before it rounded a tree out of his sight.

Yes, the Straw Hat crew were all insane, but that girl.. she was something else entirely.
