Somewhere in the Grand Line lays a spring island by the name of Kolori. It was surprisingly close to ordinary, save the fact half the population were Devil Fruit users. This was rare for Devil Fruit were so hard to come by, but not on this island. In the middle of the island grows a tree that produces fifteen Devil Fruit every year. The island has managed to keep it's secret from the World Government, until today.
Seventeen-years ago...
"Pirates! Pirates are here!" Sometime around midday an elderly man bursted in the East Village. The people on the streets froze upon hearing this news.
The chief of the East Village was young and well-built, he was known for his wisdom even at such a youthful age. He stepped forward clutching a spear, "Pirates?"
The elderly man turned towards the chief in a panic, "Yes! I saw a ship approaching! It bore the mark of the Whitebeard pirates!"
The villagers tensed and inched backwards. Seeing this the chief raised his voice and shouted, "Don't worry! We have more than enough power to fight them off!"
"Where's Scarlett?" An aged voice spoke out of nowhere, disrupting the tension. The chief turned his head to see his mother, the healer in this village, looking at him through half-closed eyes. The chief's eyes widened slightly realizing the danger his sister could be in.
"I'll be back!" The chief shouted over his shoulder as he began to run towards the shore, "Have the men prepare for battle!" His sister, Scarlett, had ate the Future-Future Fruit. After much practice this allowed her to see into the future at will. Her power helped with predicting attacks on the island. But the so few pirates who had learned about this Devil Fruit wanted it for themselves and eventually learned how to outsmart us. Scarlett had a too close to death encounter a year ago that left her with a weak heart because of a damn pirate. If those Whitebeard pirates are after her...they'll leave empty handed.
But what he couldn't understand is that if Scarlett had seen the future why didn't she warn us?
His sister was the priestess of the island. She prayed to our Gods for peaceful times, rain, good luck in battle. She was an important figure that everyone valued, he more than most. He increased his speed to help break himself out of the thick forest greens. His feet skidded as they landed on the sand, but he quickly regained his balance and snapped his head up to scan the shore.
A figure sat on her knees in the distance. It was a woman, she was praying, her hands clasped and face turned towards the sky. Her long, fiery red hair blew out behind her as small gusts of wind blew. The chief knew who the woman was right away; his sister Scarlett. His brows furrowed and he threw a quick glance at the ocean; he could just make out the outline of a ship on the horizon.
Hastily he made his way towards his sister. As he did he shouted, "Scarlett! Pirates are coming! You must head towards the Great Tree!"
Scarlett paused in mumbling her prayers, she cracked open her honey colored eyes and faced her brother slightly irritated. "How many times have I told you not to bother me when I'm praying Yahir?"
Yahir opened his mouth to remind her of the urgency of the situation but he found himself at a loss of words. His older sister could always do that, she was stubborn and seemingly cleared the air around her. Perhaps she was blessed by the gods. Scarlett's gaze lingered on him for a few more moments, her slitted eyes waiting for him to say something. Seeing that he wasn't going to she then sighed and turned back around to continue her work.
He cursed in frustration at the woman's display of carelessness. A question popped into mind seconds later and he laid a hand on Scarlett's shoulder asking in an angered tone, "Why didn't you warn the village of the pirates coming? You must have foresaw their arrival. The ones coming are the Whitebeard pirates. That crew is feared among the seas...if Whitebeard himself makes an appearance...our village won't fare so-"
Scarlett abruptly stood, in doing so cutting him off and knocking him back slightly. During his time speaking he hadn't noticed her facial expression, it was currently furious. He brushed himself off and watched curiously at his sister's actions. It wasn't like her to act like this, she normally had a cool head and it took a lot for her temper even to show.
Scarlett turned her head to face her brother. "You don't know what you're talking about! The Whitebeard pirates aren't here to attack us they're here to offer us protection! We'll fly their flag as a sign that this island is under the protection of Whitebeard. We won't have to worry about any more attacks from pirates."
Yahir leaned back, his eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. Pirates offering them protection?! The chief swallowed hard, looking over his shoulder to see the pirate ship that was very much closer. In a confused tone he asked, "If it that's just what they want how come you didn't tell me sooner? The panic could have been averted if you did."
Scarlett cast an uneasy glance towards the sandy ground, placing a hand on her stomach as she did. "Because...I was worried of how you'd react."
He tilted his head to the side, even more puzzled than he had been before. "React...About what?"
His sister chuckled lightly, the little laughed seemed to be full of both nervousness and joy. Scarlett laid a delicate hand on his cheek, he winced slightly at the touch. He wasn't used to feeling something that soft. His own hands are calloused and rough from fighting to keep the village safe. After what seemed forever she finally answered his question. "I'm going to have a child. The father will be a member of Whitebeard's crew, that's partially why I didn't tell you that they were coming. I know you have questions, brother, but please hold them. For now, just know the name of the father; Portgas D. Ace."
Hello everyone! This was a little idea that popped into my mind a few days ago. The Devil Fruit it mentions that Scarlett has [Future-Future] I think one of the Gorosei or someone up at Mariejois has it already. So that's a bit AU right there but forget that little detail in the upcoming chapters. Will try to update this soon. I'm not that good at OC fanfics so don't be afraid to give criticism! I'll try to fix anything you guys think it needs best I can. Thanks for reading, until next time!
