Mavis had laid asleep, tired from all the eventful fights and such, although she had to admit the Davy Back Challenge was pretty fun she even got to show off her sharpshooting skills. Mavis caught in her dreams mumbling out loud about how she's the number one sniper in all the seas. Siwsune would be proud of her for getting this far on her own, although Mavis had always been able to get far on her own, maybe using other people for transportation but she was got to where she wanted to go. Ty. That was all she could think of her dreams took a dark turn as she screamed for Ty in the dreamworld.

-Mavis' Dreams-

"Ty..." Mavis whispered defeated.

Ty was being held up in the air for displayed, burnt. beat and had cuts down to the bone. A logia Devil-Fruit user known for using his swamp swamp fruit had him held in the air by gunk, much like the stuff you would find at the bottom of the swampy floors, such as twigs, moss, mud, minerals and more. Mavis could only cry as her gun had been absorbed by the swamp-man. Second also known as Sero, Ty's first-mate had been rendered useless.

"Mavis..." Ty whispered, "Cheer up- ... it's been fun traveling with you." Ty would smile towards the end.

Mavis began to scream out, "Ty!- Ty... TY!!" The tears would roll down her tender cheeks, "Ty... please, you have to do something... fight back. Please."

"Sero. Take care of Mavis okay?" Ty would tell his swordsman.

Sero had only nodded, confirming the order. As Mavis looked up smoke filled the area and everything began to shake, everything went to hell in the woman's eye. It all happened in a blink of an eye.

-End of Mavis' Dream-

Mavis had been woken up to her crew arguing about some conversation topic, by the looks of their faces she could confirm it was most likely Marine trouble. She had seen the look in their eyes all to much before, every pirate had a look in their eyes that they were either going to engage with Marines or run from them. She stood up stretching looking at them all, feeling a bit like a tease at the moment she would wink at Caprice.

"Guessing we have to get out of here?" Mavis asked, although she already knew the answer to her question.

Mavis really felt like they should just take out these Marine-scum. It'd be a lot faster and easier for them than just running off knowing that they would be hunted down.

"Guys. I have an idea, we should take down the Marines, free Holly. Cause we all know they're just gonna give Holly the worst years of her life and never leave her be, as well as they won't stop chasing us to our destination." She nodded agreeing with her own statements. "So we should just take down two problems with one stone."

Mavis stood looking around the room for any looks of denial in her broad plan.

ulla

Mavis was disappointed in Caprice seeing how quickly he was to turn against Holly, the woman who was kind enough to provide for them, just as the captain had striked him she felt sorrow for the child. It was only because he knew of one kind of Marine. So did Jade and Charlotte they all did, however Mavis knew of the good marines. Reina was a damn good marine she helped Mavis take down the slavers that haunted her and attacked the citizens of water seven. However just cause the kid felt a different way for the justice-system didn't mean to strike them all down with no emotion, with how little grasp he had over his emotions showed how much growing he had in store for himself.

"He doesn't know much beyond his past, that much is clear." Mavis informed them, "That's probably why he picked up the skill to pick-pocket to make a quick buck was so he could survive in this everyday cold."

She smirked, "Some of us approach in a more subtle way, such as begging for help and appearing as innocent and helpless."

Mavis had nothing against the child but he really was an immature fool. However it was fine they all had to grow at some point in time. As they approached the final steps to leaving Jaya, Charlotte seemed to think that Junbei was too harsh on Caprice. Mavis was about to blow a casket on these people. Did they just see every marine as a threat? Was that the case with everybody?

"Look guys, chill it. Marines can be much like Pirates, hostile or friendly." She sighed, "Agree'd?"

As Junbei rushed out the door Mavis was quick to rush out with him. Running up to her first precious victim. Mavis quickly rammed the tip of her right leg's combat boot up his crotch. Then spinning she fired two bullets into the skulls of the Marines.


"You had a chance... to let us leave peacefully, we all can agree to that." Mavis began talking to herself as she fired yet three more bullets, giving more Marine grunts the same fate.

The Marksman in her prime quickly ran at one of the marines, they would parry. The tip of her barrel and his sword's blade, they would meet each other again and again.


"You're chance at taking us away from our dreams is over!" Mavis declared, "Now that we have all met and made connections we're stronger than ever and even better unstoppable together!"

Mavis cursed under her breathe thinking back on the deal with her mother. Yet she heard no screams yet so had her mother approved of this fight? Maybe she was asleep, could spirits sleep? What ever the reason may be Mavis was thankful for her mother's choice of action because she really didn't need her mind to be fucked up right now. Not at a time with such importance.

ulla

Mavis was a bundle of emotions at her past would come rushing back, the night she fought with Ty and the Chain Pirates. Unlike the last time this memory flooded her head she fully remembered every scene and every piece of it too. The memories of her dreams were completed.

-Flashback-

Mavis took a step forward, clenching the gun's handle, holding it tight to her body. This was war. Fools, thought they could take on the Chain Pirates. Mavis had ran across the wet grass, as the storm only continued to get worse, she looked over at her captain.


"Captain..." Mavis whispered over. 

Her captain was a tan man, with a blue vest and spiked black hair.

"Mavis, keep it down." Mavis glared at him, as if she was ever really loud.

"Idiot... Captain Ty..." Ty smiled at her, Mavis managed to smile back.

Mavis had ran over to Ty's tree standing by him. "Captain...-"

A bullet came straight for them.

"Watch out!" She grabbed him ducking, the bullet piercing through the tree's bark, snapping the tree down on them. 

Quick on her feet she jumped out of the way, forgetting Ty she yank out a special bullet from her pocket and inserting it into the gun's socket. "Nooow! Fire!"

She aimed for the heart of her enemy, firing it pierced the pirates heart. As the pirate fell his body burned from the inside out.

Ty had slowly applaud her. "Nice job, Mavis-chan."

She gritted her teeth as two more pirates grabbed her captain. "You idiot!!"

She dashed at them and slammed her gun onto their arms, cracking their bones.

Ty broke into uncontrollable laughter. "You worry too much! Sero, has us covered! Remember he's the best swordsman in my crew!"

Mavis sighed, annoyed at everything. "You realize, you decided to challenge a thirty-man crew, with three logia users." Slapping Ty she forced him to look at her with her left hand. "We're a six-man crew!!"

Ty chuckled quietly. "I like our odds!" 

Mavis sighed. She knew the marines would surely come soon, this was the war of the Anubis Pirates and the Chain Pirates. Her crew surely wasn't the quiet type they caused so much trouble lately it wasn't even funny, although they didn't senselessly kill, they killed in defense, which was why there bounties were so high.

"Captain... we need to leave now!" She grabbed his hand, only for him to yank his hand back.

"We're staying, Mavis. If you don't want to take the ship and leave." Ty gave her a cold stare.

She gritted her teeth. "No, I'll stay, I'll stay until death... rips me away from you."

Surely enough, a logia-pirate showed up behind the two, holding Sero the "swordsman," in his hands, his white mask now gone only to reveal his shaggy sapphire blue hair, that clung to his dark chocolate skin. He had vines wrap around Sero's body, hanging him.


"Sero!!" Mavis had filled her gun with "seastone" bullets.

Ty had jumped back behind Mavis, waiting for the right time. Mavis fired two bullets at the logia's arms, one bullet for each arm, causing him to drop Sero.

His booming laughter filled the air. "Mavis Lockheart, number one sniper. Best pirate with a gun."

She kept up a tough act, giving him a cold stare. "So you've heard of me? Who are you, if you don't mind me asking."

He smiled slyly. "I am Muma Nurai, the swamp swamp devil fruit user. So little girl, do you know what the rumors, I've heard, tell me about you?"

She shook her head no.

"They say you've got bullets for every situation. They say you've taken down a hundred devil-fruit users." He cackled.

 She gritted her teeth as she ran up at Muma, screaming. "You'll be one-hundred and one!!"

Muma had sank into the ground, evading her attacks, up close. She looked around for Muma, her eyes like hawks, trying to scan the area for him.


"Kehehehe... look out girly!" His hand grabbed her ankle and slammed her face first into the mud.

He began to suffocate her with a sphere of gunk around her head. She grabbed for her neck trying to free herself from the grasp. Mavis began to stop struggling, as she fell to the ground. She could only heard voices outside her slumber, it sounded like Muma struggling. 

A few passing hours Mavis woke up looking around her, the storm had stopped, but the sounds of war hadn't. Looking into the fire in front of her, she knew she had been rescued, but who could've stopped Muma? She saw Sero and Ty approaching her.

"Lazy. Mavis how could you sleep during war!" Sero, nagged her.

She threw her arms in the air and nagged him back. "I'm not the one who got caught by Muma first!- Hey... what happened to Muma..."

Ty stepped in between the duo, smiling. "Lucky for us, the marine admiral showed up, knocking Muma out in some seastone net." He chuckled in between his sentences. "Then I retrieved you both, luckily Sero woke up, we've beaten about half the Anubis so far, all they really have is two logias." His smile became a dumb big grin plastered onto his face. "So they don't pose a big threat like before, so far our crew hasn't been caught by marines or taken down by Anubis."


Mavis looked off the distance seeing three fleets of marines. "Whaa!- CAPTAIN! CAN WE PLEASE LEAVE NOW!!"

Ty shook his head no, with his usual confident smile. "We can win this."

Mavis growled to herself. "What is he trying to prove!"

Sero agree'd quietly.


"Oi? Talking about me, Mavis?" Ty looked behind him, at Sero and Mavis.

Mavis fell over startled and wiggled her body like a worm. "Noo! Not at all!"

Sero ducked for cover. Ty bursted into laughter, at his crew mates. Before the trio could collect their selves, marines had shot nets at them, that sent powerful shocks to their bodies knocking them out. Captured and taken to the marine headquarters to be thrown into prison.

Mavis woke up on a marine galleon, separate from her whole crew.

She sat in front of one of the admirals of the Marines. "Hello. Mavis Lockheart was it?"

She nodded quietly, petrified.


"You know... for quite a young and beautiful girl, you seem to be quite the trouble. Why else would you have a bounty worth One-Hundred Million." He informed her.

She looked down away from the admiral. "I-I don't know..."

He used his thumb to make the girl look him in his emerald green eyes. "Now now. Don't be afraid. I personally think your bounty is a fraud." 

Her eyes widened. "No! It's not..."

He chuckled. "Well then. Maybe pirates have gotten weak then."

She spat in his eyes. "Or maybe the marines have gotten weak! No wonder I'm worth so much."

He yelled. "You...- GRR!" He flicked her forehead sending her overboard. "Let the seakings eat the pathetic worm!" 

Mavis fell back into a slumber, with the last thought of. "Is this it... where's my epic death... being killed in front of a crowd... nobody will know, I died..."

-End of Flashback-

Obviously Mavis' bounty was no where that high and her name had died off long ago, names die quick on these seas. Mavis quickly fired at the marines behind the group. So far she had taken out eight. As they got closer to her goal more and more would drop, she had taken out eleven total. Realizing she needed to restock she quickly broke formation to forage for some bullets. Two marines approached the girl and she quickly slammed the butt of her gun into their skulls knocking them down, making it fourteen. Retrieving the rest of her bullets getting ready to fire again. She got back into formation ready to do as told. 

ulla

Knowing what she had to do, it was quite similar to the book she had read about the Heroine sacrificing everything to save her friends, however hopefully it wouldn't cost Mavis her life. Mavis watched at her friend, Jade was going on a blood-lust frenzy, quite like when Mavis first heard the mortifying scream of her mother's death. She knew his pain, however that didn't give Jade the ability to be a crazed lunatic. Her captain wasn't blood-lustful he was just quick to destroy, and conquer. Mavis however was one to quickly shower down her enemies with bullets and not think another thought about her actions. Knowing it was necessary. 

Mavis had fired down the oncoming new rush of enemies, as her captain was locked in conversating with some random guys who claimed they watched them fight Kipp. Mavis had forgotten about Kipp and his pirates if she was honest, the davy back challenge was way more memorable for her. Probably because that gold freak was there and back from the dead. However hopefully he wouldn't be able to rise back from his defeat again, somehow.

Mavis counting the falling bodies in her head she counted six, before reloading. Her face remained emotionless, professional. As if she was a hired hit-man. Mavis began to knock down targets left and right, each one meeting a bullet to the face, her style of fighting was cruel but swift, a quick death to any of her targets. Eight more had fallen, quickly she pulled out a section of the gun grabbing stored bullets, reloading.

"Mavis, when did killing become such a norm for you?" Her mother, Liliana, told her disappointed.

Mavis sighed, however even if her mother disagree'd with her actions she couldn't stop fighting just cause she didn't approve. She had to make the Captain proud of her. Her Mother was angered, when Mavis, had fired another bullet at one of the Marine's knee caps.


"ALRIGHT. ENOUGH, MAVIS!" Liliana shrieked. "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

Mavis dropped her gun, screaming falling to her knees.

Marines would quickly encircle the woman, smirking they finally had her.

"No... mother... father why." Mavis whispered to herself.

Mavis curled in a ball crying to herself, sobbing. The marines however didn't care after watching the dangerously capable woman mercilessly knock their friends down one by one. For them this was justice finally paying off for them. Mavis might've costed Jade, Caprice and Charlotte their lives by breaking the formation. Allowing the others to get trapped by the marines.

"I told you to stop, Mavis my dear." Liliana told her daughter.

Mavis would appear to be screaming at someone but to anyone around her it looked like nobody in reality, "What! I- I just needed to protect my friends... what the FUCK!" 

Mavis quickly grabbed the gun firing out two more bullets at on coming marines, tears quickly rushing down her cheeks as the screams of her mother's death continued to play in her head. However she did this to show she was still capable of doing damage if need be. Falling to her knees she held her gun close to her chest, looking around at the circle of marines she was in.

ulla

Mavis knew the formation was breaking she knew it was due to her mistake. She saw Charlotte, the concern in her eyes but for some reason words were flowing from Charlotte but she mentally was ignoring her for some reason, it just sounded like a mash of words. Mavis knew what she had to do though, getting up she would lean against Charlotte, hugging her taking a deep breathe.


"I'm sorry for my moment of weakness." She apologized, grabbing her gun and clutching it in her left hand.


"Beg for Mercy." Mavis would sternly tell the marines her eyes hidden by her bangs.

Mavis began to let out a rapid fire on the Marines taking the circling group out. All nine marines fell to their feet, each grabbing their chest as the bullet pierced their heart. She smiled falling backwards, not physically exhausted but mentally. Staring at the sky the woman would began to daydream. 

-Flashback-

Rankyu spat on her. "Shut it!"

Liliana nodded in fear. The man that had captured her was her husband, Rankyu. Rankyu had changed over the years, Liliana, could no longer handle him and decided to escape him. However he tracked her down and was angry at her for running from him. He had many slave camps underground of Alabasta, which was where he was now taking his wife.


"Couldn't of just been a good girl, you had to go cause a delay in my plans!" Rankyu kicked her onto his ship. 

Liliana glared at the man with piercing eyes. "Rankyu, you're no longer my husband! My husband would not act so vulgar!"

Rankyu and Liliana had soon arrived at Alabasta, Rankyu's personal guards escorted them to his underground slave camp.

"Maybe this will change your attitude. Who knows maybe if your a good girl later on, I'll free you." Rankyu smirked as he chuckled walking off.

However Rankyu had lied, he used her for his own lustful needs. Over the next nine months she would work as a slave till her water broke, and she was in need to deliver their child. Rankyu however, wasn't light on her, even through birth he had threatened to kill their child if she didn't work. He gave her a knife so she could carve in her bed bows and arrows. Liliana had delivered her baby, on the verge of exhaustion and death.

"Pick it up slave!" Rankyu kicked Liliana onto the ground.

Liliana had only a day to rest after birth, she had dropped her pickax, far to weak to mine.

Rankyu spat on her. "Your daughter will replace you."

Liliana had weakly grabbed his ankle, in anger. "D-Don't you dare touch Mavis..."

He began to grind his right black loafer into her head. Liliana screamed in pain as his loafer was grinded into her head in the cold ground. 

Pulling out Liliana's gun he had taken from her days before he pointed it at her head. -

All that was heard that night was a woman screaming and a fire, the night became silent. Only to be disturbed by the cries of a baby in need of her mother's tender love.

-End of Flashback-

Mavis watched at three marines ran full speed at Jade, she smiled she knew he could handle this. She stood up by Charlotte, using her as assistance to stand, not trusting her own feet to carry her by themselves.
