She knew she'd seen it.

The Skypiean was sure she'd seen it. Before they'd parted ways she caught a glimpse of the Melusine and she knew at once that this was that ship, and here was that woman - Naga. That event they'd both been a part of in Ilusia had bolstered in her a new kindling light. She was now firmly against the World Government for the atrocities they'd committed and continued to commit. That government cared nothing for the people. It simply sought to survive and grow. The marine presence in certain islands said as much. But why was Naga risking coming so close to it again. She was indeed a fiercesome thing, though. Perhaps she knew that no one this side of the Four Blues would truly be able to cause her any kind of mortal danger.

The girl's wings carried her aloft as she swirled over the small beach where she's seem the woman's crew landing. She kept her ship further out but for good reason. She only needed to reach the beach and Naga before the crew spotted her and caused more mayhem than she needed. The sun shown behind her like beam of fire , silhouetting her womanly fram like that of a descending angel.

"Nagaaaa..." she breathed out as she floated down over the girl.

A yell roared from a distance, spooked her and before she could gently touch down, ruffled her feathers and fell the last few feet right on top of the white haired beauty in her skim, revealing bikini. A loud owwww escaped her lips as she looked down, now straddling the woman.

"Ooohh... hey there missy! Sunbathing, are we? Hmm... this close to Ilusia? You must really like to walk on the wild side huh?" The absentminded girl giggled to her heart was content, completely turning a blinds eye to barrage of men and women with pistols and swords all pointed at her back. The scene must have certainly looked like she was attacking their captain. Rei-Rei stopped giggling, turned a sideeyes glance and spotted the angry and yelling faces of the Uroborus Crew.

"Oops haha! I come in peace," she exclaimed with a continued smirk and a raising of her arms in a show of mock surrender!

Tickled by the thought of all those guns and bows pointed at her fluffy mane of soft, white curls, aimed at her full figured derriere that was currently mounting her new friend, Reinaka couldn't help but let out a big spout of laughter. Their captain had put them at ease for the moment, but she'd still gotten way too close for their comfort. Either out of anger for her sneaking up on them or, perhaps, jealousy at how intimately she was behaving with Zenon-like warrior princess, they scuffed and huffed despite lowering their weapons as Naga had beckoned them.

She turned back to the blushing woman beneath her. As she suspected, proper ladies like Naga were way too bashful for their own good. Even being this close to another person sent them all in shivers and hives and flushed  red cheeks. Reinaka grinned at the response and, against every bone in her body rejected the urge to see just how uncomfrotable she could make peach coloured beauty. But she had purpose today, or rather other interests. Two points of interest in fact! She was dying to ask the woman more about what they'd spoken of before they attacked those ships.

Haaah-kkeeeeyyyy

Or whatever she'd called it. Because ever since that day, she'd been feeling such strange feelings. Tingling sensations, odd disturbances in the air, even! She was jumpy and hyper sensitive and she wanted to know what the jig was -- if it could this haki stuff she'd spokon of. But, first things first, the second point: a few papers long and scribbled up and down with ink that could destroy lives - a new edition of the news!

Reinaka dug into her bra and fished out the folded paper, unfolding it and holding up the Blue Edition out in front of the girl, turning it to the Wanted Section. The images of the Blues top wanted individuals was clear as day: it was her! It was Naga! And not only that, but Melissa was front and center as well, a very flattered but spot on drawing of the girl right above her info and...

"Did you see thissss!!!??? Naga, you and Melissa... you're bounties are..."

And for the first time a worried look fell over the young Skypiean's face, though quickly replaced by a more slackened, blank expression. Who were these girls and how had she gotten mixed up in all of this. Not that she was sorry to have helped, or actually scared that she'd go to prison, but for a commitment-phobe like her, it seemed that the ink on these pages had sealed her fate and destiny. She would never be able to go back to that carefree life she'd lived before she'd met her first crew and since she'd started her ferrying company.

Well, it wasn't much of a life to be honest. It wasn't what she wanted to do - ferrying criminals illegally. But at least it was on her own terms. She rolled off the woman and onto the sand at her side, hold the paper straight up with both hands, eyeing it worriedly before passing it over to Naga. It wasn't just their posters on that edition that startled her... they had her name and description as well! And what's more: she had a bounty now. It wasn't nearly as high as the other girls but still... who would want to pay nearly 2 million beri's to capture her!?

"It's all sort of... exciting, isn't it?"

She feined a smile and air of bewilderment, but she knew it wouldn't have reached her eyes if the woman and been looking her in the face. She needed someone to tell her that she wasn't alone in all of this, because right now she felt desperately so.

Reinaka stared up into the sky, shifting slightly to relieve one of her wings of the pressure of the bulk of her weight. The was not as soft as some of the nicer beaches around the West Blue waters, but it was warm and they were secluded rather nicely from any Navy presence that might be lurking nearby. She'd already surveyed most of the area before she'd gotten close enough and they could pretty much expect to go unbothered for another few hours if they'd liked.

Used to it...

Would she get used to it? She supposed so. Rei-Rei was nothing if not adaptable and bounty or no bounty she would likely do as she placed, wherever she pleased, whenever she pleased. It was the fatal flaw of someone who wanted a simply, unfettered lifestyle; whereas, for someone in her shoes, it was the jolt that would keep her firing burning brightly despite any interference by her enemies. For to lose one's spark in the open waters was to lose one's will to live or ability to keep oneself alive. Rei promised to never lose that ability.

"You know... I'm not actually a pirate. Or at least, I never really intended to be, I don't think. I was only fooling myself if I believed I could be that person. I thought that I wanted to be freer and therefore I had to be a pirate, but... then a guy told me something that I don't think I'm going to forget anytime soon: what good is being free when the whole of the world is still in chains."

She positioned her hands behind her head in a clasped position, resting her scalp on her palms instead of the tough layers of sand. It was Kaldur'ahm that had sparked these kinds of thoughts inside of her. He was awake, he was active and he had a purpose. Reinaka had thought more and more about seeking the Fishman back out, trying to find him and tell him how much she thought of what he said.

"Well... nevermind any of that actually. Its neither here nor there. I had another question for you!"

At this the Skypiean turned and rested on her elbow as well, propping herself up and mirroring the Kuja princess, not that she knew what a Kuja was to be sure. It was a much better question that all the ones sprouting up because of the News Edition. She wanted to know about Haki. Ever since Naga had told her that word, she knew that it was something important. she knew that if such a power was possible, that the Chi Blockers knew of it and someone in the Grandline could tell her how to use it properly. But first... she had to know what the heck it was.

"Haki! You spoke about it earlier. I wanna know more, Naga! I've been having these weird feelings and I just know that this can't be some kinda coincidence. It's hahhkiii, ain't it?! Ohh Miss Naga, please tell me. Tell me what you knw!
