Chapter 1. Seagulls

I don´t own One Piece. It rightfully belongs to the great Oda Eiichiro. I only own my OC´s in the story. There may be a bit of perverted humor and my crazy shipping's. Also please forgive any spelling mistakes, English is not my native language so…Sorry about that. Author is out

"Like the flying seagulls over the sky, I want to go where-ever my heart desires. Only thing keeping me from my dream is my duty as a marine."

That sentence had been in Ren Fray´s head for who knows how long. Her duties as a marine were the primary function of her life, Yet she didn´t want it. Ren´s dream had always been being a pirate, until her mother died... Then Ren realized that pirates were just filth of the oceans. After that she had casted her childhood dream away and went on a different path onto opposite side of law in order to protect the innocent civilians.

Ren´s original Home Island had been on West Blue, but as the fleet which she was in got stronger. Their superiors had transferred them to Grand Line. At first she didn´t like the idea of being sent to Grand Line due to its reputation. Until she heard the sea of his dreams call her…It was a figure of speech of course. Then they were sent to the other half of grand line "New World"

She looked the blue sky where a flock of seagulls were flying around playfully in the gentle sea breeze. As Ren watched the seagulls, she failed to notice his pain in the ass best friend snuck behind her and screaming.

"OI! Earth to Ren !"

"AaarGh! For the holiness of god Oscar!" Ren roared to her fellow marine.

"It´s your fault for spacing out, don´t ya know this is the New World. Anything could happen at any time…Amazon." He said cunningly.

"Oh bite me…Decides is that the right thing to you to say… Slacker"

Brown haired man chuckled and said " touché. "

Amazon had been Ren´s nickname since she was 12. (At her current age of 22 years Ren was 7, 3 feet tall.) Ren hated that nickname as it´s reason had caused her so much awkwardness over her life. Ren remembered when she had met Oscar first time ten years ago Oscar had thought that she was an adult…well that was one heck of a memorable moment and one memorable nickname.

As the sea breeze got stronger Ren tightened her grip on the documents she was supposed to bring to her fleet's leader. Rear admiral Ritius Silveck "the steel foot".

"Did ya hear?"Oscar said after a long pause.

"hm?" short yet present answer was given by Ren.

"There are rumors about Whitebeard going on, Like that he´s you know…getting old..."Oscar half-whispered with a serious tone. Well at least he tried to.

"Come on Oscar. That old man could still kick all of our asses without a single drop of sweat to the moon and decides 63 ain´t that old...I think." Ren chuckled in amusement.

"AND.." Oscar leaned closer to Ren´s left ear as Ren bended down to her friends level and asked "And what?"

"Ya know the first division commander ´the phoenix' Marco…" " Yeah…What about him?" Oscar's face turned more and more serious or in this case more hilarious ."There´s a rumor going on that Whitebeard has a bond of Matelotage with him…" An awkward silence fell over the two until…"Wha-what Ma-matelotage?"Ren muttered as her cheeks flushed red. (If there was something she enjoyed, it was romance novels featuring same sex couples)."It means Gay marriage if you did-"

"I know what it means Oscar! Y-you really shouldn´t believe everything you hear…that is just ridiculous. And I need to deliver these documents to Rear admiral Ritius!"Ren shouted with embarrassment combined with anger and walked towards their superiors office, But her now HUGE pain in the ass friend followed her the whole GODDAMN way to the office and making things even more awkward by saying things like: "There's a hunch that Vice admiral Garp started this rumor" or "How would that even work…If I understand correctly their size difference is huge".

As these kinds of sentences came out from her friend's mouth, Ren prayed that someone would put her out of her misery. She saw her comrades give shocked or amused faces to the two as they passed them by. Oh god this was so embarrassing... Most of them were shocked how Oscar could talk so much bullshit about the mighty emperor and prayed that these rumors would not reach the ears of the strongest man in the world.

Because that would not end well for the mystery man who had started the rumor or anyone who had heard it.

At the Rear admirals office door Ren sighed with relief as Oscar had FINALLY shut his mouth. This was one of the countless rules of the ship: You must let Rear admiral Ritius work in peace, Only time when you are allowed to interrupt him with noise is if the ship is under attack. If you interrupted him otherwise loudly…there was going to be a human sized hole either on the deck or on the wall. Ritius was a strict man. You needed to wake up exactly 5 o'clock in the morning no buts or other complains, otherwise there would be a hole. You also needed to deliver everything on time, If you had to return a report or other important paperwork and you had to import it in 12 o'clock you could NOT bring it even five minutes later. If you did import it late…You guessed it! There would be a new hole in the ship. But who could blame him.

Ritius had stress and A LOT of it.

Well commanding fleet of fifteen ships had a lot of pressure. If you messed up in one command it could easily lead to countless injuries or deaths. He needed to do mountains of paperwork every week and he had only about a month in a year free time. And then were the 'Brats' aka Oscar, Umiko, Saul and Ren. These four(well mostly the first three of the four)caused a lot of trouble on the ship. Exploding stoves, Women´s showers flooding, Graffiti´s all over geography room and Last but not least the one who made them work…Ren might just be only a participant with the pranks which were planned by her friends but SHE was the one who put detail into them and she was the one who made sure the pranks wouldn´t fail. For crying out loud Ritius himself thought that they had caused his hair to turn grey over the years.

Ren really admired Ritius. Ritius was a man of his own laws and followed his own sense of justice. And Ren owed him so much after what he did for her…

The rear admiral was only one who Ren considered as a true holder of true justice. Ren herself had met the three admirals…Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru. She didn´t understand why, but she got really bad feeling around admiral Akainu… Well maybe it was due to the haki, devil fruit and strength of the fearful admiral Sakazuki.

She also didn't understand how those three could work for celestial dragons. Ren had only heard horrible things about them and if it ever came to that point where she would have to serve them, she would resign from being a marine in that instant.

Ren knocked the door of her superior and waited for a permission to enter.

"You may enter." The voice of Ritius called.

Ren entered the cabin, saluted and said "Sir, These are the documents from marine H.Q. send this morning."

Ren then gave the documents to the rear-admiral, who took them carefully out of Ren´s hands. "Thank you, you are dismissed." With that sentence from her superiors mouth Ren exited the room.

Ritius leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily. What did the H.Q want this time? Last week they had to attack a pirate fleet of ten battle ships… Even thought it was their duty it could get little annoying sometimes.

Taking a sip from his 3rd cup of coffee, he reached towards the envelope which held the documents. Opening it with extreme care, he sighed more when he saw who had written it. The fleet admiral Sengoku himself… Along with world government. Oh the joy. Whatever the report was about, it was not going to be an easy task. Then he opened the folded letter and read it.

From Marine H.Q and World Gov.-Oh god why these always have to be so formal? - Direct order to Rear-Admiral Ritius Silveck's fleet of fifteen battleships Blah… to change your headings Blah… towards Gunner Island. - Gunner Island? Wasn´t that the place where…? – Blah …blah… once there Blah….Your fleet will try taking the island back to Governments control. - Wait what?!- When you´re done send report back to H.Q. Good luck.

Then a loud crash and huge roar of anger made its way out of the Rear-admirals office and was heard in all fifteen battle ships "GOOD LUCK?! MY ASS! I'M GOING TO CALL SENGOKU AND GIVE HIM A PIECE OF MY MIND!"

With those words Ritius made his way past Ren and Oscar who were watching their superior in horror, towards the report room* planning to call the fleet admiral immediately.

….

Ren and Oscar stood in the hallway dumfounded, confused and more importantly horrified more than anything. Looking at their superior who's death glare was darker than night. Both marine soldiers gulped in cold sweat.

The fearful silence was cut down by Ren who suggested: "How about we hit the mess hall early today?" and started going towards the mentioned hall.

"Funny… I was about to suggest the same thing." Oscar said as he followed Ren rather fast towards the mess hall.

'What in the world was that about …' Ren wondered, but let it be for now at least….

(*A/N I don´t know what it´s called. Please somebody tell me. )

Okay that was the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed that. Ren will get more character development more when the story goes further. (And I´m hoping that she will not turn out to be a Mary-sue…because No author wants that to happen to their character.)
