Disclaimor: Sadly I don't own One Piece and nor will I ever but as depressing as that fact is enjoy!

chapter 1:

It was just an ordinary day on Parot Island. Loud and annoying I thought rolling my eyes, Parrot Island was just another Pirate Paradise, where the only rule was that their were no rules. I watched as an intoxiacated pirate stumbled to the bathroom. But still they were... fun, I thought mentally shrugging, comming to the island with their outlandish stories of treasure and what not. Even the most untalkative pirates could be bribed into talking with a little ale. Except for him I noted dryly.

I watched him through narrow eyes, though I did keep the smile plastered to my face like any other good bar maid, he had only been here a week and came early in the morning and stayed until closing time, and refused to talk to anyone drinking beer after beer. But I had to admit that he held his liqour well. I had tried to talk to him on one ocassion about a couple days a go, and what did I get after I tried to be friendly? He told me to go away and shut up! Grumpy old shit head.

The only bar maid he'd let serve him was my co-worker, Gwen, she'd smile at him bat her eye lashes and laugh at what ever he told her. She was a pretty little thing, as the other pirates said and perferred her over my sour expression any day. She had long blond hair a tiny waist and actually enjoyed wearing our ridiculous uniform.

I sighed, I planned working here until I had enough money to get off of this stinking island. But then something bad would happen with my mother then I'd have to spend all of my money on my mother's medical bills then I'd have to save all over again.

Anyway as I was saying before, Mr. Quiet and Moody, didn't want me even to come near him. But every time I'd turn around I could've sworn he was looking at me. Which is really creepy cuz he had to be like in his early forties and I was only eighteen. Though I had to admit I was preety good looking, I mean not as preety as Qwen, but I had inheireted my mother's looks. Her carrot orange hair, mine dropped to my waist and her big chocolate brown eyes.

I heard a pirate talking about Straw Hat Luffy, the last Pirate King that had been executed by the marines and had started this whole new pirate era by repeating the words of his predacesor Gol D. Roger. 'You want to know where my treasure is? It's right where I left it... You can have it if you want it! You'll just have to search the whole world for it!' "He kept smiling til the end, crazy old man" slurred one pirate I crinkled my nose when the smell of pee and achol hit my nose. I notice that Mr. Grumpy was listening to him through narrowed eyes.

"Then the Straw Hats disbanded and were never heard of again." I recited pouring another glass for the pirate every one knew the story to another table when I heard him grunt and felt him smack my butt.

Kay that really pissed me off! But before I even had the chance to do something about it I heard the pirate give a terrefied shreik and turned back around to see that Mr. Grumpy had grabbed the pirate by the collar and shoved him against the wall.

"Apologize!" Mr. Grumpy said, "Or you'll regret it!" Several pirates stood ready for a fight.

"How dare you" The drunk pirate slurred unafraid. "Do you know who I am!" he asked outraged.

"No I don't , and I don't really care either!" he snarled, "Apologize to her or I'll make you apologize!" he shouted the bar grew silent.
"Tch an old man like you," the pirate smirked "Not likley."

Okay I had to say that was a pretty dumb move, I thought rolling my eyes.

The "old man" punched the lean pirate right in the jaw, and that's when all hell broke lose.

I didnt want to get in the middle of pirate fight so I'm ashamed to say that I hid behind the bar with Gwen, she and I were used to this really it happened just about every other night. "How long do you think this one will last, Lana?" she asked me. I peeked over the bar and ducked down again when one the pirates were thrown over the bar spilling all the achol on the ground and slumping unconcious.

I shrugged "It depends if this racket wakes her up." I said. It was true, boss only came down if a fight started and Boss had a pretty good reputation with these pirates which meant that everyone was terrified of her.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" I flinched with I'm sure every one did too. There she stood raven black hair that went below her waist her lips ruby red, a drees that showed every one of her curves, even though she was way older then Gwen and I she was still beautiful, anger flashing in her blue eyes a snake hissed at the base of her neck. The bar was perfectly quiet in an instant.

"ALL OF YOU GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!" she yelled.

All of the pirates ran to the door not wanting to piss boss of any farther. "You" she said pointing at the older man who had sat back down and began taking a deep swig of his beer. "Come upstairs with me." Gwen and I shared startled gazes Boss never allowed men upstairs it was like a rule.

She saw us sitting behind the bar when before she went back upstairs, "Lana, Gwen, clean up this mess, then go on home."

"Yes Boss" Gwen and I said in unison we watched curoiusly as she and the drunken old man went up stairs.

When they were gone we both peeked over the bar to see the big ass mess the pirates made and groaned.

"Let's get to it then." I said Gwen nodded weakly and I passed her a broom and started picking up broken bottle and putting them in the trash can. We put tables and chairs back in their perspective places, mopped the floor and cleaned the bar. We had to do this so many times that Gwen and I had it done preety quickly.

Gwen sighed and sat down in one of the chairs and rubbed her eyes. "You'd think by now those pirates would learn better than to piss Hancock off." she said rolling her eyes.

"You can go on home." I said "I'll finish this" I motioned to the trash, "Then tell Boss that we finished." Gwen bit her lip uncertainly as she thought about it but she obvisouly wanted to see her boyfriend to much, so she nodded Thanked me and got the hell out of there before I could change my mind. I sighed and took the trash out to the dump behind the bar. And paused I could seriously use a cigerate, to bad I quit... But it could also be do to the fact that I didnt have enough money to buy a pack, and it was bad for you I thought rolling my eyes.

I came back into the bar and went upstairs to tell Hancock that we were done. I heard murmuring on the other side of the door and stopped I didn't think it would be wise to interupt Hancock repremanding the old guy for starting a fight.

"...heard any thing new?" I heard Hancock say, she sounded hopeful.

The man sighed, "As far as we know he died that twenty years ago." he said, "he told us he didnt want us comming to rescue him"

"I know..." she sounded almost close to tears.

"Hancock..." he said then sighed.

"I don't need your pity Zoro!" she said coldly.

"So is Nami doing any better?" He knew my mother?

I heard Hancock sigh, "No she is always sick and from what the doctors say she will keep getting worse and worse..." she said softly, I stood there rooted to the spot evesdropping.

"Is the only reason you hired her is because she's his daughter?" he asked

"Yes" she said in hushed voice.

"The marines are comming the best you can do is get out of here and take Nami and her daughter with you. Because if they find them they'll kill them just like they killed Luffy's brother."

I stepped back and board creeked. The two fell silent for a second, my heart hammered in my chest. Suddenly the door opened and I was face to face with the man Hancock had called Zoro. "How long have you been there?" he growled eyes narrow.

I stuck my chin out defiantley, "Long enough"

Zoro chuckled, "Can I talk to Hancock now?" I asked wanting him to move.

He stepped aside, "Is it true." I asked calmly even though a torrent of feelings were exploding in me.

Hancock bit her lip. "Yes..."

"Is this why nobody would tell me who my father was." I asked looking at her shaking my head, "The pirate king is my father?" I asked looking at her and Zoro in disbelief.

Hancock looked away not answering but her silence was answer enough for me.

"Tch," I said, "Then being a pirate is in my blood then, no wonder my mother almost had a heart attack when I said I wanted to be one." Zoro looked at me curiosly, Hancock only bit her lip looking at me.

"I'll go home," I said they looked at me with concern, "I'll tell mom to pack some stuff the Hancock can relocate her."

Hancock let out a sigh of relief, "But I'm not going with you." I said looking at both of them.

"But-" Hancock said protesting.

"I've been on this island my entire life, all I've heard stories about adventures that pirates have been on, that my father has been on, I'm 18 why shouldn't I get to experience life, why do I have to cower in fear from the Marines?" I asked looking at her and Zoro.

"Your right." Zoro said after minute.

"I know I'm right." I replied hotly.

"So why don't come with me?" He asked.

"Wait, what" I asked thinking I heard missheard him.

"Just temperarily" he amended, "until you find yourself your own boat." he said, I though about it, and I mean serisouly thought about it, Did I want to go with this drunk ex-pirate even if it was temporary, I bit my lip still thinking. Yeah I guess it would be okay, I think.

"Okay" I said hoping I was making the right choice. Sudenly there was a loud booming outside the building shook.

"What was that!" Hancock exclaimed and walked over to the window peaking through the curtains, "Shit! Zoro it looks like the marines came earlier than you expected."

Zoro cussed, "I've got to go." I said thinking about my mom.I ran out before anyone could stop me.
