NOTE: This takes place in no time in particular in the One Piece anime, but the Straw Hat Pirates only consists of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper. Also they are in the Grand line.

On one fateful day, a man named Greg showed Rebekah the world of pirates. Filled with curiosity, she gives it a chance, unaware that it would change her life forever. "It may be a long road ahead, but I'm willing to walk it. A great treasure lies ahead, I can feel it. No matter what may come, I will keep on sailing." With those words, a wish was granted, sending her to the vast world of pirates. This is the start of a brand new adventure!

Come aboard and bring along all of your hopes and dreams! Together we will find everything that we're looking for! One Piece! Yeah, yeah, you know the drill, right? So...as you read, someone shared One Piece with me and now I'm in that world. Am I gonna regret it? Read for yourself to find out!

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Crash! There, I land on a pile of gold coins along with various kinds of gems and jewelry. Even though this pile broke my fall, it still hurt. Heck, I didn't know I landed on gold. "Arrg! Who gave you the right to come in and steal our treasure?" asked a pirate holding a kutless to my neck. I was still dazed from the fall, but when I realized, I panicked.

"I'm so sorry!" I said getting away from their "treasure". "I'm not here to steal anything, I just-"

"Fell from the sky? Like I can believe that, let's cut her boys!" the pirate said raising his sword.

His crew yelled, creating a loud echo in the cave. However, just before they can have fun cutting me to pieces, a man made of rubber swings into action, literally. His name is Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy to be exact. Behind him were his friends Zoro and Nami, the rest of the crew was on board his ship. Why are they here? Well, it seems I made a beacon of light when I fell and that caught their attention.

Luffy sent these bozos flying out of the hole I fell through. Looks like we'll never see them again, I hope. I was still in shock from the instant action, but Luffy was a kind soul: he helped me up from the ground, smiling like always.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"You were attacked by pirates." Luffy answered, being the simple-minded guy he is.

"I know that, but...I can't remember how I got here."

"My guess is you're the one who created that beam of light and fell through that hole."

I looked up and there I saw, a hole letting the moonlight shine through. Seeing the moon and stars made me remember something important: that gem that always takes me places. It must have brought me here!

"I remember now!" I gasped. "I got here using this!" I pulled out the white gem shaped like a Chaos Emerald, glowing with radiance. The gang was in awe, seeing such beauty with their own eyes, especially Nami who seems to have an eye for treasure when she sees it. Zoro was in disbelief, thinking that a rock can teleport me to other worlds. Luffy? He was still wearing that same smile from before.

"Where did you get that?" Nami asked.

"In my backyard, it fell from the sky and landed there." I explained.

"But how did it bring you here?" Zoro asked.

"You know how we wish upon stars? Imagine, from the beginning of time, up to the time I was born, all of those wishes were merged into one star and that is this right here. It must have resonated with my current desires, again."

"Again?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah, this happens when I become overly passionate. But, I don't know why I'm here."

It occurred to me that I haven't got a clue as to why I'm here. Not to mention I don't have any special kind of powers like I did in the ninja world. This sucks! I don't want to eat a devil fruit and lose my ability to swim. So what can I do? I have no muscle tone, no experience with pirates, very little emotional strength...I'm dead! There's no way I can survive...or is there? With Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, I should be safe. I just need to keep my cool. I've met all kinds of awesome people and that excitement you get when you meet them never ceases to fade away.

"Why don't you come with us?" Luffy suggested.

"Me? You crazy!" I yelled in utter panic.

Suddenly, Luffy's stomach began to growl. I forgot, he's a typical anime protagonist. "Heh, heh, heh. Looks like I can go for some good meat." he giggled. The rubber man had an idea, he swiped the gem from my hand without asking. "Hey! What are you doing?!" It actually resonated with Luffy and gave him fresh, cooked meat on a bone. "Wow! I didn't know it can grant wishes too!" He dug into the tender meat that made me hungry, but it also made me wonder.

"Maybe this gem is more than what I made it out to be?" I thought. "Perhaps it grants wishes from the pure of heart, hence why it's pure white."

"Good point!" Luffy agreed with a mouth full of meat.

"Really? Then give me that!" Nami said taking it out of my hand.

"Next time, ask nicely!"

Nami focused her gaze on the gem, but it only lost its glow.

"Huh? Why isn't it working?" she asked.

"Maybe it doesn't like you?" Luffy thought, with his mouth still full.

"Oh, shut up! I'm surprised it granted your silly wish!"

"What were you wishing for?" I asked.

"Oh...it's nothing important. Come on, we have to get moving!"

Luffy finishes his food and throws the bone away. What was it that Nami was wishing for? I'm curious!

"Wait! What about this treasure?" I asked.

"We're gonna have the crew help us with that." Nami answered.

"Is it really necessary?" Zoro asked.

"Yes, how else can we afford things?"

In the pile, I find an odd looking book with no cover art. It was black, dusty and kind of wet. I decide to take it along with a knife. Out of instinct, I follow them back to the ship. I'm so used to following a crowd of people because I've never truly been on my own.

"Looks like you decided to come with us." Luffy said happily.

"Oh, I just follow people out of instinct, a habit I guess." I said feeling timid.

"Or maybe this is why you're here."

"It's possible."

As we got closer to the ship, I can smell the salt water bringing a nostalgic feel. Anyone who has been to the beach would know what I'm talking about. However, it brought sheer terror because I almost died at sea before along with my brother and mother. It was a good thing God was the lifeguard on duty. Don't believe me? Fine, let's get on with the story.

Luffy's ship was huge, big enough to fit at least twenty people. Okay, maybe I'm over exaggerating, but it's big. This ship is called "Going Merry", given to them by someone named Meri who looks after Kaya. They're a rich bunch, hence why Luffy has this ship.

On board were Usopp who was on guard, Sanji was cooking dinner, and Chopper was somewhere on this ship. Luffy had to help me get on board the ship because I was having troubles getting on. Usopp was still on guard, but when he saw me he jumped.

"Who's she?" he asked.

"Our new nakama, her name is…" Luffy didn't get my name so he was lost.

"My apologies! My name is Rebekah, I got lost so it looks like I'm staying here." I said trying not to lose my cool.

"I think it'd be nice if everyone met Rebekah before we continue through the Grand Line." Nami suggested.

"Everyone! Get your butts out here now!" Zoro yelled.

Sanji and Chopper rushed out of the ship. When Sanji saw me, he began to hit on me. "Cut it out!" I yelled hitting him on the head. Boy, that felt good! I see why Nami does that to him.

"Heh, heh, heh! Sorry about that!" I giggled. "My name is Rebekah, I'm the newest member here."

"What are you good at?" Luffy asked.

"I..uh...I can be a decoy?"

"What about that gem you have?" Nami asked.

"Oh yeah! Since I'm its master, I can do supernatural things."

"What kind of 'supernatural' things?" Sanji asked.

"I..uh haven't gotten that far yet."

The crew dropped their jaws and/or face palmed. I haven't learned the gem's true power, other than teleporting to other worlds/reality. Luffy managed to get fresh cooked meat, but how? He's not the gem's master. It seems I was right when I said it can only be used by the pure of heart.

"Luffy, you managed to get meat from this gem, but how?" I asked.

"I don't know, I just desired it and I got it." he answered.

"Maybe that's how it works, and I didn't know this whole time? Boy am I stupid!"

"Try wishing for something now." Nami suggested.

I think of something simple, like a plush toy of Nami. A ball of light emerges from the gem, then creates the desired item for its master. "It worked!" I cheered. Sanji took the doll from my hands, loving on it like crazy. "So cute!" he said melting in his love for Nami. "There, you can sleep well tonight." I said about to laugh. Luffy's stomach growls again, reminding us that we haven't had dinner yet.

Sanji leads us to the kitchen where our meal is prepared. All kinds of food was laid out on the table such as meat (duh), some veggies, fruit, and dessert for later. We all gathered around, got ourselves a drink (mine is nonalcoholic since I told Sanji I don't do alcohol) and toasted to me for joining the Straw Hat Pirates. "Kanpai!" we all said clinking our drinks together. Luffy was hogging the meat, but I managed to get some before he ate it all along with some fruit. Nami sat across from me so I was stuck next to Luffy and Usopp. Sanji was thankfully two seats down.

After we finished eating, all of us including Nami because I was helping too and she didn't want to be left out hauling the treasure in. There was a lot to take in, mostly coins (Beli/Beri) and maybe a few pieces of jewelry. One treasure we found was a Log Pose which Nami gave to me as a gift for joining.

"Are you sure you don't want to sell or keep it?" I asked.

"I'm sure. Besides, I don't want you getting lost." she said smiling.

I may not know how to use it, but I will learn eventually. If I remember correctly, if the red arrow is pointing, say north then I'm facing north and so on. Also these adapt to the magnetic fields here in the Grand Line (in a certain amount of time). So now I have a random old book, a knife with belt and scabbard, and a Log Pose. Not a bad start! I'll have to show the book to Nami later, but right now I need to focus on hauling the treasure into Going Merry.

We must have hauled in at least fifteen bags of money alone. Zoro made it quicker by carrying four bags at a time. One thing is certain, we'll be good if we had to buy something and if Nami fined any of us.

"Whew! That's the last of em!" I said relieved.

"Yeah, we'll have to stay the night here for the Log Pose to adapt." Nami announced.

"Sounds good to me." Luffy yawned.

"Where do I sleep?"

Nami led me to where she sleeps, it was probably the best room in the whole ship. I felt at home here. Only thing is, it looks like I'll be sleeping on the floor which is okay. I'm just not used to that. Besides, I'm right with Nami, what can be better?

"You'll be sleeping here." she said preparing the sheets.

"Thanks, I hope I won't be too much trouble." I said trying to smile.

"As long as you don't snore like Luffy, you will be fine."

"Don't worry, I don't snore."

"Good."

"Also, what were you wishing for?"

Nami looked around for anyone listening.

"Can you keep it a secret?" she asked.

"You're trusting me even after we just met?" I asked, rather surprised.

"You have a level head unlike them."

"I wouldn't say that, but sure I can keep a secret."

"I was wishing to see my real parents. I never knew them."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, Bellemere took care of me. But I still wish I knew what my real parents were like."

"I see. It seems this Bellemere took real good care of you. You know, being the kind and beautiful soul you are."

This brought Nami to tears, no one has ever told her that. "You're the best nakama on board!" she said still crying tears of joy while hugging my neck. Jeez! I didn't think I'd make her feel this happy. "Thanks." I simply said.

I try to get comfortable on my new bed, which is basically a mattress. Due to an unfortunate event that happened in the real world, I can adapt to this. Yes, there is no fan (I sleep with a fan on), but the roaring seas makes a nice substitute.

"Tomorrow I can get you a change of clothes, you probably feel filthy in those." Nami said tucking herself in.

"Yeah, good night." I said closing my eyes.

"Good night."

Well, I guess it's a official. I'm part of the Straw Hat Pirates!
