Somewhere on the grand line - Whitebeards ship

Marco looked around, ears twitching. "Can anyone hear that?"

Aces paused listening intensely, "sounds like screaming..." he looked about trying to find the source of the high pitch noise.

"Wrong way my sons, look up" whitebeard commented; head upturned to the sky, listening as the sounds turned to voices.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!" a female voice screamed.

"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE GROUND WASNT UNDERNETH US?" a male voice shirked.

"WERE IN THE SKY!" the female yelled, "YOU LIVE ON A SKYISLAND...SKY! IT'S A BIG FUCKING GIVE AWAY FUCKFACE!"

"WERE GOING TOO DIED! IM TOO YOUNG TO SMART TO DIE!"

"WE ARE NOT GOING TO DIE YOU JACKASS!" the women yelled over the male man's screaming. "LOOK THEIRS A BOAT!"

"GREAT! ITSTEAD OF DYING BY THE FORCE OF INPACT AGAINST THE SEA AND DROWNING, IM GOING TO BE CRUSHED AGAINST A BOAT. MY BODY SLATTERED AGAINST THE WOODWO-"

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" the women yelled again trying to stop the blathering man.

The crew below looked up in astonishment, they could make out two dark blobs quickly descending towards them. However, the pairs was still too far to make out any features. "You want me to stop them?" Marco muttered eyeing the pair.

"Let's see what happens first" whitebeard responded watching the pair with a slight smirk on his face from amusement.

The male was screaming while the women was yelling profanities at him, "SEASOUSLY DUDE, WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS SITUATION IF YOU HADNT BE SO FUCKING STUPID, AND GOT RID OF THE CLOUDS UNDER OUR BLOODY FEET. NOW I HAVE TO GET US OUT OF THIS. SINKING .SITUATION!" the blobs seemed to merge before one shot down towards the boat, most likely defining every logic of science to do so.

The boat rocked violently. Waves pushing against the hull as a sudden impact collided with the decking, dust rose and fell. "Ooh sturdy boat this" a Voice from within called along with the tapping foot on the wooden decking, "last time I did that the boat broke…"

The crew stared in shock as a figure came into view, it was the female, 5 foot 6 in height. Black skinny leathers and combats boats, those closest caught a glimpse of dark hair before a hood was pulled over her head, shadows hiding the upper half of her face, leaving the bottom of her nose and mouth visible.

The hood was attached to a cloak that danced around her thighs in the wind. The cloak was did up till her midriff, parting to relevel four wicked looking blades. Two attached in an X cross on her backside- the handles poking out besides her hips. The other two attached to her thighs.

She looked around, taking in the information of the crew around her. She had landed on whitebeards ship…. Internally sighing, she shifted her head upwards towards the swearing male. "He really needs to shut the fuck up..." the female muttered. Before taking two steps to the right, arms out stretch just in time to chance the falling male.

"IM GOING TO DIE!" he screamed not noticing the lack of falling, "MY LIFE TOO SHORT! I STILL HAVN'T MADE ANY DISCOVERIES" he screamed again.

The female frowned, before scowling. "Will you," she grumbled head tilting backwards, "shut the fuck up!" she yelled. Head-butting the screaming figure.

The male stopped screaming, he blinked, before the female dropped him to the ground, he groaned sitting up. "Oh god," he froze, "were on a pirate ship" he whisper to the female who face palmed.

She sighed again, watching the pirates surround them. She had a few options...

"Yo, sorry for dropping in" she commented causally, eyes flicking about, putting names to faces from wanted posters. While the crew around the pair sweat-dropped at her casualness – acting like she hadn't just dropped out of the sky and landed on their boat.

"No problem," a male spoke. She eyed him a blonde Mohawk rested on this head, "Marco" said male offered his name.

"Nice to meet ya," she nodded, before continuing, "maybe you be able to help me with answering some questions?"

"You're not gonna introduce yourself?" another male stated, this male had an open shirt, with an orange hat. He had dark curly hair and a light sprinkle of freckles across his face which was currently giving her a suspicious look. She cocked her head towards the speaking male. Fire fist Ace.

She sighed, placing a hand on her hip, "well, I have many names haven't chosen one that fits just yet"

"Don't agitate them, they'll kill us" the male pleaded, still sat on the floor.

"So my questi-" she started.

"Nope, name first" Ace interrupted.

She frowned, arms crossing over her chest, "Elvira Raven, though during work time it's just raven."

"White death interesting…" grumbled a large man, with a long white moustache. Her eyes unseen by the crew darted towards the captain with interest. Not many new the meaning behind her name. Though it seemed most of the crew was oblivious to their captain's comment.

"I see," the freckled male grinned, "I'm ace, those questions?"

She blinked turning her attention back towards Ace, "I know who you are silly, which direction, and how far is the closest populated island to our current position?"

Ace was slightly taken aback by the comment, but thought never the less, though it was Marco who answered first. "2 weeks, southwest"

She nodded, hood shifting as she looked towards her companion before turning south-westward. "Nope," she shook her head, "nope you wouldn't last a day swimming. That opinion goes out the window" she muttered out Loud, bringing a hand to her chin.

"You wanted me to swim?!" the male groaned from the sitting position in distaste.

"Not really, you die too easily. Remember I'm supposed to keep you alive," she countered before turning to Marco. "Can we by any chance hitchhike on your ship till you reach the next populated island?"

"Don't know, you're going to have to ask pops," commented Marco gesturing to the captain.

Raven turned fully facing the giant man, "so can we hitchhike? We will help out if you need"

The giant man chuckled, before going into thought, he nodded, "sure you can…" the man sighed in relived, "…however" the man tensed, while the women cocked her head.

"However?" she questioned.

"You need to prove yourself, Jozu" the giant captain called, a muscular dark skinned male stepped forward towards her, while everyone else stepped back.

Jozu knew why he was chosen, he was something no one could cut – one of the benefits of being diamond. He looked at the petite female in front of him; he could hardly see anything under the hood that hid the majority of her face. However, he should not let his guard down. She HAD just fell from the sky and if their conversation was to be believed fell from a skyland.

The girl, raven, stood in front of him. He blinked and his view was the sky.

Back hitting the wooden deck below, as a cold edge of a blade was pressed against his neck. "Your dead~" a voice purred from the depths of the hood.

The girl, raven sat on top of the male. Her feet stopping his arms from moving while she held one of her wicked looking blades to his neck. The crew around them started to chuckle under their breaths, the other male looked about with a freighted expression on his face, "why are they laughing?"

Raven sighed, her eyes rolling under her hood. Not that anyone could see it. "Devil fruit?" she asked.

"Yes, you won't be able to defeat me that easily"

"Really, now cause where I'm sitting your still dead" she commented dryly.

Silence spread without the crewmembers before some burst out into laughter. "She's a laugh we will give her that" one commented.

Sighing again, she flipped the blade over she passed the handle to the lying male. As soon as his hand touched the handle, he felt the draining of strength, "sea stone" he mutter. On closer inspection the wicked blades were black with blue veins running thought them, clear signs of sea stone.

"Correct, you should really tell your boys not to underestimate me" she nodded, placing the blade back into its thigh sheath before helping jozu to his feet.

Jozu chuckled shaking his head in disbelief, he couldn't believe he got beaten so easily…

"Good, now for you friend her-"

"He's not fighting" raven cut the old man off. Shaking her head as the other male dunked behind her.

"Why is that?" whitebeard asked an amused expression on his face. The girl to say the least was interesting.

"He's a feminism? No that not right, veganism? No," she muttered hand on chin as she thought, "oh he's a pacifist!" she concluded, placing her closed fist in the palm of the other hand.

"A pacifist?"

"What's that?"

The crewmembers about her stated to mumble before turning to her for answers, "he won't fight no matter what, believes that war and violence are unjustifiable and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means. Basically he a wimp that can't fight" she stated bluntly, arms crossing over her chest.

"I have you know that I am a scientist!" the man yelled, stepping out from his cover allowing everyone to get a better look at him.

The male had bright blue hair with matching eyes. A dirty white lab coat over dark trousers and jacket. A pale grey top underneath that. "I'm danzo, I am a pacifist. I not do believe in violence and I will not fight you however, I am first and foremost a scientist! From a young age I studied quantum physics and astrophysics…" danzo stated to talked, sputtering scientific knowledge, while everyone just stared blankly.

"What is he going on about?" asked Marco.

Raven shrugged, "I have no idea, just nod and act like you understand. It's better not to get him to talk 'sciencey' unless you actually like it"

The rest nodded as danzo continued to talk about whose knows what. Raven stepped forward, slapping him lightly across the back of his head, "stop talking nonsense"

"It is not nonsense! With this knowledge we could start to travel the seas without the need of a post log! By using the stars and what Mother Nature provides us. It could change the process of traveling and benefit many! Moreover with the research we coul-"

Raven sighed, rubbing her temples. "I don't think they want to hear that danzo" she muttered before turning to whitebeard, "so can we hitch a ride?"

"Gurarara! Of course" the giant man laughed, "let's have a fest to celebrate!"

"Raven..." danzo muttered, "Why are they having a fest?"

"Pirates love every excuse to drink, you will get used to it while were here. Just don't fall over board okay? I'm not in the mood for a swim"

Danzo gulped, as he was dragged into the swam of parting pirates.
