This is my first story, so please enjoy. This is basically a prologue to explain your character and how you join the straw-hat crew and find nakama, a thought that you had never thought possible. Warning: there are spoilers in the up-coming chapters.
Your running through the forest, the villagers not to far behind you. "Why does this always happen?!" You think to yourself as you gain more speed. It has been like this for the past fourteen years, ever since that incident when you were only six-years-old. That fateful day, a group of people from the government had come with a strange fruit, and with that, everything in your life would change for the worst.
Flashback to fourteen years ago...
You wake up to bright sunshine flooding into your room as you hear your mom call out to you to come and eat breakfast. Your little sister and brother were already downstairs when you entered the room. You still couldn't get over how cute your twin siblings were. Hana, your sister, had stunning blue eyes just like you and your mom with bright blonde hair put up in pigtails. On the other hand your brother, Ryou, had dark-gray eyes just like your dad with a blue hat on, covering his spikey, light brown hair.
You quickly ate breakfast and raced out the door. You were so excited you could hardly wait. Today was the day that the famous Marines came and you wanted to meet them. You ran into the tavern and found that not only were they a lot taller than you, but they also scared you. One of them was carrying a box and laughing, obviously drunk, and saying how amazing he was for finding such an amazing treasure. You slowly forgot about your fear as you listened to him talk about the strange object inside the box, but when he lifted it out, all you saw was a strange looking fruit.
Not fully convinced of what the strange man said, you took about a third of the fruit and ate it...Nothing. Absolutely nothing. As you start to turn and leave, you jump as you hear the man yell "HEY! Did you eat this?!" he shouted, looking right at you. You slowly nodded, your fear returning as he got up and lunged for you, all the while yelling "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT WAS LITTLE GIRL!? THAT WAS A PIECE OF THE WOLF-WOLF DEVIL FRUIT THAT YOU ATE!"
You had heard of how devil fruits gave you certain powers and took your ability to swim away, but you never thought it would end up in you hands. You panicked as the man stopped so he could shove what was left of the strange fruit into his mouth, but you were out of the tavern and halfway down the street when he finished. You ran as fast as you could home, but you were to late. They had somehow gotten there before you and the whole house was in flames, along with your family.
When a marine spotted you and shouted something, you quickly turned and ran into the forest, so scared that you didn't even notice that you had turned into a beautiful wolf. Your eyes had changed from sky-blue to emerald-green. Your body was now covered with silver fur, sparkling like the stars that you would stare at in awe each night. Your paws barely touched the ground as you ran to a hideout that you decided would be your home. Once there, reality hit you. You were a wolf, your family and home had been burned to the ground, and above all, you were deeply and utterly, alone.
You somehow managed to turn back into a human and collapsed on the floor of the cave you were in. You started crying your heart out, not knowing what to do, when a sparrow came up and asked in a light voice "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" You were so shocked that the bird talked that you stopped and looked at it, dumb-struck. "A-are you talking to me?" you asked in a shaky voice. When the bird answered yes, you felt a bit of hope in your heart, maybe you wouldn't be alone after all.
You explained to the bird your situation and it gave a sorrowful chirp. The bird then hopped over to you and said, "Well, if you want, I'll be your friend and keep you company. My name is Sparrow, what's yours?". You decided that since your family had died, it would be best if people thought you were dead as well, so you answered, "You can call me Luna" and that was the beginning of your new life. It was going pretty well until an unfortunate villager caught you in the woods in the middle of transforming a few years later. That's when they started calling you a monster, and you started to believe them, but that's why you were running for your life at this very moment.
End of flashback...
As you snap back to reality, you realized that the villagers had driven you near the coast. Your paws thundered against the ground as you raced along the shore, and that's when you saw it, a strange ship with a pirate flag and a sheep head. Little did you know that the ship happened to be called The Going Merry and held the Straw-hat pirates, so you didn't realize the life changing decision you had made when you leapt onto the ship, only to come face-to-face with the crew.
