Snippet #2477801

Anna gave a tired sigh of relief as her shift came to a close and the last patrons left the bar with happy smiles and drunk waves. Making her way back over to the bar, she gave a smile at Raoul who returned it with his own. The pair had grown closer seeing as they were basically the only people who worked the Gold Roger Bar.

"Turning in for the night than? He asked as she made her way towards the stairs that lead to her apartment, nodding her head at him, she paused half way up the stairs as he continued to talk. "Okay love, I will be heading home than. See you at 9 tomorrow." He said as he got up and grabbed his stuff, making his way towards the door. Sending her one last wave and smile over his shoulder, he was gone.

It was always a mystery why Raoul had never lived above his own bar, but when ever she tried to ask he would always avoid the subject, so she just didn't ask anymore. Entering her room, she quickly changed into her PJs and jumped into bed in hopes of a long, good night sleep before work the next morning.

Screaming... Why was there screaming...?

Anna jumped awake as she heard glass crashing down stairs. Grabbing up her leather gloves, she ran downstairs only to come face to face with five fishmen pirates. "What the fuck do you think you doing!" She yelled as she ran down into the room and took a fighting stance, drawing the pirates attention. "You have 5 seconds to get the fuck out or there will be hell to pay!" She growled out, her sleep clouded mind not really taking in her odds but spitting out threats anyway.

"Oh ya, and who's gonna make us girly? You?" One of the fishmen said, laughing as the rest joined in his taunts. They were beginning to piss her off, there was a reason pirates never attacked the Gold Roger, and that was because of her. She might not kill anyone but more than enough men could testify to the power of her punches and kicks.

"Ya, me." She growled out, moving forward swiftly and delivering a swift upper cut to the fishmans jaw, sending him flying back into the wall and collapsing unconscious. It was one of her swift knock out moves, and she was kind of hoping it would scare away the other guys... But than again these were pirates and they were two things, stupid and defiantly not intimated... Though maybe just a little bit enraged...

The men drew swords than, and Anna realised her chances had just hit rock bottom. She was currently dressed in a set of very flimsy PJs and didn't even have any weapons on her, seeing as she never remembered them... Or even had them anywhere in reach for when she woke up...

There was only one thing to do in this situation... Run! And that's exactly what she did. As the men began descend upon her, she ducked down beneath the legs and shot herself through the open legs, managing to reach the door and pull herself up in time to get a head start before the remaining 4 men noticed her immediate departure.

All around her there was the noise of screaming and fighting as the fishmen attacked the town. Hearing a shout behind her that signalled the men had noticed she had gotten past them, she quickly took off in the direction that sounded the quietest... Or at least had no sound of fighting.

Dodging and weaving through the back alleys of Loguetown, Anna had no doubt she could lose them but she didn't want to run into anyone else looking for a fight while she was completely defenceless. Hearing another shout, she glanced back and noticed she hadn't been able to lose the men, swearing under her breath she picked up speed while still looking over her shoulder... And ran straight into a body.
