Thanks you guys for reading this before I rewrote it, and I am sorry for not updating it as much as you would have wanted, but at least i'm tring to make it better! Hope you stay with the story and lke the changes I made!

On an island in the East Blue in the town of Orange…

A dirt road was filled with people walking back and forth from the numberus stalls on either side of the road offering food, objects and clothing.

"Hey, you have some pears?" a girl with deep black hairasked one of the stall owners.

"Yea, hold on a min." said the stall keeper.

The girl waiting for her breakfast looked as if she came from the army with her long baggy camo pants and the dark blue skin tight tank top. She had her black hair up in a high pony tail. Her deep forest green eyes darted around her watching the movments of everyone around her. Her hand rested on a black sheathed katana that had a red string wrapped around the hilt, a gift from her late grandfather.

"Here you are, that will be 200 Beri."

"Here you go." She handed him the money from her clentched fist.

"Thanks, you have a good day Ren." The stall keeper said.

She smiled at him and walked up the road to the port to get on the ferry. The boat it's self was practically sinking but it was all she could find in this dead beat town that was heading towards Fushia village.

"Ticket." Said the captain of this hunk of junk boat. He was large and a little intimidating with his beady black eyes and huge hands.

She handed him her ticket she had 'borrowed' earlier from an unsuspecting tourist.

He nodded his head and let her on the boat. She walked over to the bow and sat on the railing.

About an hour after Ren sat the boat started to move towards Fushia village so she could finally see her aunt, they were friends but they couldn't stand each other for long periods of time. Her aunt had snailed her to come help with two kids one of her 'friends' had left in her care.

'Wonder if she's killed the little buggers yet….Nah, her 'friend' might kill her for killing these kids. And if she has snailed me then they must be trouble...' Renna thought having trouble keeping a straight face. She wanted to frown at the prospect of taking care of kids.

Fushia Village port….

'Finally! God, 4 days sitting on the bow is a pain in my ass, literarily.' Ran thought bitterly.

She looked around the port looking for any bars. 'There's one…..Who names a bar Makinos Party Bar? Never mind, I don't care I'm just thirsty.' She walked over and pushed the doors open to reveal a homey feeling bar with two kids sitting at the bar stuffing their faces full of food, and a older looking women smiling and wiping a glass clean, she had a bandana on that covered her dark green hair, she wore a ugly yellow apron that covered the white long sleeved shirt she was wearing that the sleeves where rolled up to the elbow.

"Hello, Do you need something?" The older women asked kindly.

Ren walked over to the bar sitting as far that the bar let her from the two boys. Her eyes darted back to Makino.

"Yea, Can I get a beer?" Ren asked quietly.

"Sure!" said Makino.

Renna glanced at the two boys to find them staring at her.

"Hey! Who are you? I'm Luffy! This is Ace!" Said 'Luffy'. He was shorter than 'Ace' but still probally came up to my chest.

"Hello, Luffy and you too Ace. And I don't think you should know my name, not yet anyways." Renna replied to Luffy and Ace's shocked faces.

"Here you go. So you decided to come back huh?" Makino had come back, 'and it seems she remembered me finally..' Ren thought bitterly.

"Yea, Came to help aunty with two twerps she got from Garp." Ren spoke quietly to her.

"You know gramps?" Both Ace and Luffy yelled in Ren's face. They continued to babble loudly in her face about useless things they wanted to know.

She plugged her ears and waited for them to be calm again, and that took forever and a half with much help from Makino for them to calm down enough for Ren to unplug her ears.

"Yes, me and him have had many run-ins with each other multiple times and my aunt knows him and tried to turn me in a few times for making her mad." Ren spoke in her clam and controlled voice while inside she shivered remembering all the times that man had injured her and the things around her.

"Wait, Who is your aunt?" Ace asked, more like demanded, to know.

'Wow, He seems to be on edge' Ren thought shaking her head. "Dadan." Ren replied.

Both of them were shocked to say the least. Ace had fallen to the ground, and Luffy had sparkles in his eyes. 'Weird kids' Ren thought trying to hide the giggle that threatened to get out and break the calm and collected face she had took so long to put up. But her struggles where in vain when the giggle escaped from her mouth. Ren's hand flew to her mouth and covered it, but it didn't stop the flood gates of the locked up laughter opened and she found herself giggling uncontrollably almost falling off the bar stool.

Makino looked like Christmas had come early when Renna finally stopped giggling. The boys faces where that of confusion.

"Sorry about that." Ren mumbled quietly, blushing a light pink as her face went back under the mask she built over the years, calm and collected. Gotta always keep calm and collected.

"Oh my gosh! Renna, you laughed! I'm so glad!" Exclaimed Makino happily.

Ace looked from Makino to the girl and back, trying to find the connection between them. "Oh, I forgot to tell you boys! Ren here lived here when she was 4, but her and her parents left for the town of Orange not to far away on another island. By the way are they here?" Makino asked Ren kindly.

Ren's face turned bitter at the mention of her parents, "No, They abandoned me in the middle of the forest on that island when I turned 5. I grew up in that very same forest till this day, I came and went from the village to interact with people. I have lived by myself for 17 years. I only came because of Dadan. So here I am, 17 years later to help aunt that found my snail number asking for help with some little brats." Ren took a breath after that long explanation.

"WOW! Will you join my crew?" Luffy exclaimed, rather loudly in Ren's ear.

"No." Was all Ren said as she stood up and walked out leaving Makino to look at the door swinging shut with sad eyes. Luffy stood up and yelled he would get her on his crew and run towards where she walked off to, Ace said thanks for the meal to Makino and chased down his younger brother.

Renna had just reached the forest entrance when she heard two loud "HEY, WAIT UP!" 's from behind her. She turned around just in time to see Luffy and Ace running side by side towards her, yelling.

"Goddamn it!" She cursed quietly. She then turned and ran as fast as she could towards Dadans house that just so happened to be in the densest part in the forest.

Ran could hear the loud noises gain on her little by little in the trees around her. She jumped to avoid a large log but before she touched the ground she felt something circle her waist and squeeze her mid-section tightly.

She panicked and grabbed at it while spinning around above the ground by what felt like a rope, not liking the idea of being caught. "Let me go! Now!" Renna screeched.

"Chihihihi, your funny" sounded a voice above her. One that sounded familiar...

Her eyes widened when she recognized the voice and looked at what was wrapped around her waist to see an arm and a hand there holding her up from the ground. She then turned her eyes up to see Luffy sitting in a tree above her with his arms stretched and attached to the ones around her waist.

She then proceeded to do what she thought was reasonable to do in this situation. To scream REALLY loud and then faint from fear.

A/N: Thanks for reading! I will do the next chapter soon promise!
