7 Nallas Perspective!! Feelings That Have Arisen (1/2)

Marshal D. Nalla's POV:

”Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

A sensual sigh escaped Nalla's lips as she eased her body into the boiling hot water. After a full on fight like the one she just had, a bath was what she needed to erase all the disgusting sweat and dirt from her figure. Hell, even when she didn't fight she loved a good hot bath as it relaxed her aching muscles and brought her a sense of relief.

Nalla sighed in satisfaction as her thoughts began to shift away from the bath and onto the boy who called himself Mako. She had undoubtedly obtained a crush on him after their sparring match earlier, well a love for his skills and prowess was a more accurate description. Their wasn't any single human on the entire island that had the same potential as he did, it wasn't even fair to compare him to regular people. The fact that he managed to force her into a draw was incredible by itself.

Since birth Nalla had wanted to be strong. So when she was 5 years old, she began training in the ways of karate and had mastered black belt by the age of 13. Of course the age of 13 was when the Arlong pirates showed up, killing both her parents who had tried to resist and leaving her to take care of her 5 year old sister by herself.

After that terrifying incident, Nalla intensified her training, seeking to become stronger, strong enough to completely crush the fishmen entirely. She even began teaching her younger sister the ways of karate though she was a slow learner. Strength was all that mattered to her as it seemed to be the only thing that could free them from their chains that was the fishmen.

Of course, she knew she couldn't take them on alone so she went searching through Cocoyasi and Gosa village, looking for people just as strong as she was. She proclaimed that any man who could defeat her would win her heart and be able to court her if they wished. This had the desired effect of bringing each and every horny male out from their hiding places.

However, no matter how many of them tried, each and every one of them was far too weak to be of any use to her in a fight against the fishmen so she gave up. Though she was strong, she wasn't stupid enough to go in all alone as it was an army versus a single above average female.

Still she held on hope that one day they would be saved. Even if it wasn't by her own hands, she vowed that if she found someone stronger then her, even if it was a female, and he or she could defeat Arlong, then she would follow them. It was something she wanted, something that everyone wanted. To be free, to be rid of the bastard fishmen once and for all.

Then she met Mako D. Carson, a rather odd existence. Possessing fluffy wolf ears and a tail, at first glance he didn't look that strong, just something of an anomaly even though he was rather cute. Her opinion quickly changed when he spoke about being a piratemorphing into one of intrigue and even anticipation. She wanted to test herself against him so badly that it was hard to keep her from acting like a kid and jumping around the room. However she kept her calm and had offered to let her sister fight in her stead.

Initially she had only planned to test his ablities as she figured her sister would either be stronger or evenly matched with him. To her surprise however, Mako managed to push her sister back, forcing her to end the match in favor of Mako before her sister got seriously injured.

Though she was definitely concerned for her sister, she was immensely excited to fight against this mysterious youth. When the fight began, she rushed at him, intending to test the waters and gauge his strength. This of course became impossible to do as no matter how much she kicked and punched him, he never once hit back, just taking everything she dished out.

It was only when she knocked him back towards her sister and he got back onto his feet that things changed and she began to get even more excited. Her hits which had been pretty fast before began to miss more and more to the point where she couldn't even lay a finger on the boy. That's when she began to take it seriously and so did the boy, matching her in her speed and even surpassing her in techniques as he fended off her attacks, something that had never happened before.

By the time her sister had called the match in a draw, she had fallen head over heels for this young boy who couldn't have been older then 16 years. It was strange but she could FEEL that this young man still had yet to even begin to tap into his potential and honestly, the thought excited her. She felt that this wolf boy was the key that Cocoyasi needed to finally be rid of the Arlong Pirates once and for all.
