Pirates of the Grand Line

The Curse of the Thousand Sunny

Chapter 1

By Wakback

A thick fog covered the sea as the marine ship continued to sail on. On the front of the boat was a young girl at the age of nine with Orange hair and was humming one of her favorite songs "Yo ho, yo ho, a Pirates life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and..." She was about to continue here song when a ruff hand placed itself on her shoulder and twirled her around to face an older man with three swords and green hair.

"Quite Miss Kaino, Cursed pirates sail these waters..." Zoro Trailed off.

"That will be all, Mr. Roronoa." Stated a young man of the age of 23 with a long square nose and red hair.

"But she was singing about pirates Lt. It's bad luck you be sing about pirate in this unnatural fog, mark my words Lt." Continued Zoro.

Kaku just smirked at Zoro's silly supernatural belief. "Consider them marked. As you where."

"Aye Lt." Grumbled Zoro as he walked away. It's bad enough luck to have a woman on board, even a miniature one. Mumbled Zoro to himself as he took a swig of his rum.

"I think it would be rather exciting to meet a real Pirate." Stated Orange. Kaku just rolled his eye at her statement.

"Think again, Miss Kaino. Violent, dissolute creatures the lot of them. I intend to make sure anyone that sails under a pirate flag or where's a pirate brand gets what they deserve. A quick drop and a sudden stop." Stated Kaku. Confused by what Kaku said, Orange turned to Zoro for an answer, Zoro answered by pretending to be hung by a rope around the neck. Orange quickly caught on and gasped. At this point, an older man at the age of 40 made himself known.

"My apologies Lt. Kaku, but I'm worried how this information with effect my daughter." Stated Governor Matt Kaino in a worried tone.

"My apologies Governor Kaino." Replied Kaku as he walked away.

"Actually, I find it rather fascinating!" Stated Orange as a smile returned to her young face.

"Yes, that's what worries me." Stated Matt and went after Kaku. Orange decided to look below at the flowing water, hoping to get her mind off the information she received from both Zoro and Kaku.

Her train of thought was redirected to an upside-down umbrella drifting and twirling in the water. Amused by the umbrella, she turned to the direction it came from. What she saw next was a surprise to say the least. A young boy about the age of 10 was on a small plank of wood, Unconscious. "Look, Look! There's a Boy in the Water!" Orange yelled out to Kaku, Zoro, and Matt.

All three rushed over to where she was pointing to, seeing the same as she did. "MAN OVERBOARD!" Kaku yelled to the other men on the ship. "Man the ropes, fetch a hook! Bring him aboard!" Kaku Ordered. When the Boy was brought up and onto the deck of the ship, Kaku checked to see if he was still alive. "He's still breathing, good." Kaku sighed a sigh of relieve as he relaxed.

"...Great god of Asura." Said Zoro as his mouth hung open and looked towards the direction from were the boy came from. Kaku looked to were Zoro was staring at. Behind the boat was what remained of a ship that was now slowly sinking into the ocean and Fire burning whatever was not submerged in water.

"What the devil happened here!" Matt asked out load in a demanding voice to anyone that was listening.

"They were most likely have been heavily armed in gun powder." Stated Kaku, answering. Zoro snorted at the comment, thinking for a more likely possibility.

"Yeah, a lot of good that did them." Zoro sarcastically replied. "Everybody's thinking it, I'm just saying it. ...Pirates."

"P-Pirates?" Said Matt in a worried tone. "T-That's ridiculous! There's no proof of that. It was probably an accident." Stated Matt.

Weather Pirates of not, that was not important at the moment. "Ready a Boat and search for survivors." Kaku Ordered to his men. As men went to ready the boats and rowed towards the wreckage, one of the sailors on board carried the boy to another safer location. This caught Matt's attention, he then turned to Orange.

"Orange, I want you to accompany the boy. He'll be in your charge. Take care of him." Said Matt. Orange nodded and walked over to the boy and studied the boy's features. As she looked over the black haired boy, she was startled by his sudden movement and grabbed her are. She quickly smiled as she he knew something along these lines would have happened.

"It's Ok, you're safe now. I'm Orange Kaino." Orange said with a warm smile.

"U.B. B-Burner..." The boy said while to keep consciousness.

"I'm watching over you now U.B." Said Orange as U.B. Passed out with a small smile on his face. Examining the boy over once more, she noticed a necklace around U.B.'s neck. At the base on of the necklace was an odd looking gold coin; in the middle of the coin was a skull. To anyone that lived on or near the sea knew this could only mean one thing. "Y-You're a Pirate." She said in shock.

"Miss Kaino, has he said anything yet?" Kaku said as he came up behind her. Surprised at Lt. Kaku's appearance, Orange spun around to face him but hid the coin behind her back.

"His name is U.B. Burner sir. That's all I got of him." Orange quickly stated.

With that, Kaku nodded and said to the nearby men to take him below. As they did that, Orange rushed to the empty back of the deck looking at the gold coin with worry and uncertainty. She held the coin up a bit and realized something materializing out of the fog she looked in horror as she took in what she saw. It was a large ship with a Lion at the head of the mass and also black, ripped sails, and above it all was the menacing sight of a black flag with a white dinosaur like skull and a katana sword in the back of the skull. The flag known as the Jolly Roger, a pirate's flag. Orange closed her eyes in hope that ship would just go away.

And then she woke up.
