Chapter 1 : introducing your sister
Garp stood on the dock eyes fixed on the sea that streched out in front of him, the ship he was waiting for was due to arrive shortly, he read the letter in his hand again, checking the infomation over once more before the ships arrivle, the letter read

trustworthy person to ask, you see im aware

after her where she will not be hunted down by the navy.

S.R
Garp chuckled to him self, he woundered what it was about him that just screamed, I'll look after your children.
his thoughtes where inturepted by the sight of a mast on the horizen marking the nearing arrivle of his new grandaugher.
The ship docked a short time later, an older yet still hansom man with dark brown hair led a young girl off the small ship. "Monkey .D. Garp" the man inquired approching Garp, who simpily nodded at the man, holding his hand out for the bag that evidently belonged to the girl, the man handed the bag over and crouched down facing the young girl "ok, Rade this is your new home and this man will take care of you from now on, i have to leave now so be good ok" the girl nodded making her hair to bounce with the action, the brown haird man stood up and nodded to garp before bording his ship.
The ship left the dock and sailed away, the young girl waved to its crew until they were out of sight, she then turned to Garp looking up at him, she was cute, he couldnt help thinking, she had black ,wavy, sholder length hair , her eyes were a steely grey and her skin was quite tanned, she wore a simple light blue dress and black sandles.
"whats your name?" he asked already aware of the ancwer but he wanted to get the girl talking
"i'm Rade, but you already knew that didn't you?" she ancwered cheerfuly
she's smart, definetly her fathers daughter, Garp thought a smile pulling at he corners of his mouth "ok then, how old are you "
"i'm 6" She ancwered confidently
He had guessed somthing around there.
"well than Rade would you like to meet you new brothers" Rade nodded egerly and Garp scooped her small body up into one of his arms, ruffiling his black suit jacket as he did so "lets get going then" he said walking back towards a small path located amoungst the trees across the beach .
As they where walking throught the trees Rades eyes darted from flower to tree and back to flowers then to the animals that nested amoungst the plants, garp woundered where exactly she had come from considering her intense intrest in anything bright.
They neared the cottage a little over an hour after leaving the dock,since around half the way home Rade had insisted on walking, which slowed the journy somewhat, when they arrived Garp strode straight to the door of the cottage kncking on it continuously until was swung open "STOP IT. DO YOU WANT TO GET KILLED" a large woman shouted trrowing the door open, "its me" Garp said bluntly, the woman froze then staggered back slightly "G-Garp" she stated wide eyed, and at that moment two men, one large ,and one particularly small poked their heads around a sheet that separated the hallway from the rest of the house. All three people stood shocked at garps arivle.
the woman straightend up speaking agian "you gotta give me a break, Ace is 10 now, and Luffy just turned 8, we cant handle them any more", the smaller of the two men, who had now fully emeged from the sheet added "you have to take them back"
"putting that aside" garp said casualy . "DON'T JUST PUT IT ASIDE" all three of the people that had come out of the cottage all protested at once, Garp ignored them, picking up Rade and holding her facing the woman "this is Rade, you're going to look after her too" Rade smiled and waved in greeting, the woman almost fell over in shock and the two men gasped "NOT ANOTHER ONE" they yelled in unison.
Rade looked at the three people proplery, the woman who Garp had introduced Rade to as Curly Dadan, was large with orande hair, she was wearing a white shirt with light green trouses that were hld up by a brown belt, she also wore a long string of red beeds around her neck, the large man called Margra had a brown beard and a tuft of red hair on the top of this head and on his chin that made him look like a rooster, he wore dark green trousers and a dirty white tee-shirt, on top of that he wore a brown jacked lined with light yellow fabric,and around his waist he wore a piece dark yellow fabric that acted as a belt which the tucked a sword under, the small man ,Dogra, was bald, with a white cloth wraped around his head acting as a hat, he wore a faded yellow shirt covered by a pink and purple spotted apron that hid his brown shorts.
Garp introduced them explaining that they where mountain bandits that owed him a favour.
Before any more could be said two boys appeared from the trees, each carrying long metal pipes and the taller one was carrying a large boar, the boys walked over to where Garp stood, the older one dumping the pig he carryed in front of Dada.
"Rade, i would like you to meet Ace and Luffy. boys this your new sister" Garp gestured to the boys who smiled in return then to Rade who waved cheerfuly
"I'm Ace" the older looking boy stepped fowards,he had short messy black hair,and wore a simple red t-shirt paired with dark grey knee-length shorts and brown slipper like shoes, he continued his introduction "i'm 11, and this is my younger brother Luffy" he pointed to the younger boy behind him who had a big dopey smile on his face " He's 8", Luffy had similar messy black hair to Ace, he wore a plain, dark blue t-shirt ,paired with light blue, knee-length shorts with white cuffs, and black sandles.
Rade nodded taking in the infomataion "I'm Rade, i'm 6" she grinned and both boys returned the smile.
"Well, now you've met your brothers we'd better get you settled in" Garp announced.
Rade had very little that needed to be unpacked, just a few simple items of clothing and a pair of shoes. Due to the lack of space in the cottage she shared a room with Ace and Luffy, her bed was in the corner pushed agiansed the walls on the far side of the room, under the window,Lluffys was agiansted the wall in the middle of the room and Aces bed was in the corner on the other side of the room, the beds where seperated with only a few feet inbetween, at the end of each bed was a chest which stored each childs belongings.
By the time it took for Rade to settle in it was dinner time, the two boys, Rade, Garp Dadan, and the moutain bandits, sat down to eat. As soon as the food hit the table the whole group lunged foward to grab their share of the food before Luffy, Rade , not expecting that, was left with an empty plate, Ace passed her a piece of meat smiling warmly "you'll get used to Luffy, he's got quite and appetite" he said glancing at his brother , and when Luffy reached to snach the meat of Rades plate he was throwen across the room by an irratated Ace.
After dinner was finished Garp left explaining he would return in a few days, the children went to their room by the instructions of Dadan,Ace complied imedatly leading Rade with him, Luffy howevwe had made the mistake of arguing saying he wasn't tired, at which point Dadan practically threw him into the room shutting the door with enought force to make the walls shudder.
The three settled into their beds, Luffy rolled over to face Rades bed, "what do you think? Ace isn't annoying you too much, is he?" Luffy asked, "I'm not the annoying one!" Ace protested. Rade giggled, "its nice.." she said smiling softly, "..having a family I mean".
~~~~~~~~X~~~~~~~~
It didn't take long for Rade to settle into the way the brothers lived, she even gave Luffy a run for his money when it came to food, for such a small girl she could eat the same amount, if not more then her brothers. Ace had been very protective of her making sure she was alright, and Rade was thankful to his knidness, Luffy was also protective of her in his own strange ways, and Ace had to admit Rade was the only person Luffy was even vaguely capible of being responasble around.
Rade was a light hearted and fun loving girl, usally play fighting with Luffy, she was also strong for her age and had an almost unhealthy amount of courage, she was headstrong, like her brothers, once her mind was made up no one could talk her out of it. She had a habbit of apparing in unexspected places, in unexpected ways, often suprising the people around her, and often fell asleep at inappropriate times.
She spent most hours of the day with her brothers and even thought not biologically related the three soon became inseprable, telling stories of their future deams and ambitions sailing the seas, and their shared dream, much to Garps dislike, to become famous piraets.
