It had only been a week since Ceres had 'found' a rather particular fruit. She, like most other pirates she knew, had only heard of it in legends. A devil fruit, said to grant you the power of the devil, yet at the same time curse you so you couldn't swim any more. The woman was sneaking around in some rich guy's mansion at that time though, so it probably hadn't been the best time or place to try just a tiny bite. What self-respecting pirate could resist the power of the devil after all, right? And all she would have to do was to not fall into the sea or some river.

Regretfully, the fruit tasted so incredibly disgusting that Ceres accidentally raised her voice in disgust. Two guards came rushing to her location only moments later, spotting her as she was running away. A wanted poster had been put up around town the next morning. [i]"Wanted alive, 10 gold reward. Name unknown."[/i] It took several days before they managed to find her. It was a new city to her after all, so she didn't know any good spots to lay low. Plus, they completely cheated and ambushed her while she was drunk, so there was that. Luckily in these situations Ceres had a trick up her sleeve. Her appearance. She looked like she was 18, maybe 20 at most, which was far from the truth. So she was only sentenced to 1 year in a regular jail. And while she was being escorted to a regular holding cell until she could be taken to a navy base, they had only put regular cuffs on her.

"Thieves like you are scum! I hope they forget about you in jail so you can rot away in there!" The prison guard spouted as he threw Ceres into her cell. The 'girl' whimpered, crawling to the bed and kind-of hiding behind it as the cell door was closed again. The prison guard grinned smugly and turned away to get back to his post again. Then, as soon as the door closed the 'girl' smirked. "Some people really don't know how to treat a lady." She mused, the tone of her voice sounding rather...mature for someone 'her age'. A moment later Ceres stood, calmly dusted herself off as best as she could with handcuffs around her wrists, and sat on the bed. After a quick glance around she only saw one other person in there with her at the moment. Though she would have preferred it if there was no one around. "Oh! Someone else is in here too?" She spoke, suddenly sounding exactly like what you'd expect a 19 something girl to sound like. "Uhm...hello?"
