The Scarlet Pirate (One Piece Live Action)

"Dude, why would you say that?" Raena slaps the straw hat's arm a few times to make her point. "Not helpful!"

"That was amazing. Admit it. We do make a pretty good team."

"We are not a team." Raena and Nami say in sync, moving down the hall.

"Whatever you say. Now all we have to do is figure out a way to get into Axe-Man's office."

Nami flashes us Axe-Hand's keys and Raena shakes her head.

"Are those his key's? How'd you do that?"

"I'm a thief." Nami admits to him, an annoyed look on her face.

"You know, you're really good at thieving and a good talker too. You should think about joining my pirate crew." Nami grabs the straw hat by the shoulders and shoves him into the wall.

"Let's get one thing straight. I am never joining anything with you. I hate pirates. Hate them!" Raena winces a little bit, kinda harsh Nami. However this guy does not let anything get to him as he continues smiling.

"That's because you don't know me yet." The boy glances to his side where Raena walks beside him. "What about you? Will you join my pirate crew?"

Raena stops in her place, if only she had the luxury of getting a choice in what she does. "I would love to, if I could." The boy frowns at her statement as they continue walking to Axe-Hand's office.

"Of course, you can! Everyone gets a choice in what they want to do."

Nami glances back at the two, shaking her head. This guy seriously knows nothing about them and yet he rambles on about luxuries that neither of them have. Neither of them got a choice with anything that was given to them.

Raena rubs the back of her neck, where the implant was inserted, giving the straw hat sight of the number tattooed on her wrist.

"What's that mean?" He questions Raena, pointing at her wrist.

"I-It's my identification number."

The boy nods along like he understands. "Identification number for what?"

Raena attempts to curl in on herself by bringing her shoulders more inward. She wants to do anything possible to forget about what happened in Hydra. Even working for Arlong is much better than being there. At least with Arlong, or more specifically the time she spends with Nami, she gets a glimpse of what free will looks like. She feels more herself when she is not under the watchful eye of her master and even more so because she is in the company of someone she believes to be a friend. Even if it is only for a little while.

"Hey! Don't ask her that-" Nami starts to defend Raena but Raena places her hand on her shoulder.

"It's ok, he's just curious." Raena looks at the straw hat. "Maybe I'll tell you one day but not now, okay?"

Raena hurries her pace and stops when she is in front of the grand office doors. She cranes her neck up to look at the top, these doors are enormous.

The three step into Axe-Hand's office glancing around at the extravagant decor.

"Who even needs an office this big?" Raena questions, hopping up the stairs and spinning in the desk chair.

"This guy really likes himself." Straw hat comments, resulting in a soft, "Preach it!" from Raena.

"I'm going to find the map. Pretend you're not here. Scarlet, you wanna help?"

Raena sighs standing up from the chair and shuffling the stuff around on the desk.
