It was a nice, warm day in the middle of June. I had just woken up from my beach-side house located on the island of Tescho. My life was kind of dull at the moment. I had no family and was counted as an outcast on the island because of my abnormal traits; a black tail with black cat ears and yellowish eyes. I did my usual morning business. I brushed my hair and tail, and made my ears look nice. Then, I put on my favorite outfit. It was a pair of smooth, black shorts, with a whitish-greyish tank-top. On top of that was a smooth, white, button-down vest. I had my black hair down-as normal-and no shoes. I start to head out by the ocean. I can't go past the sandy beach because of a strange fruit that I ate when I was a child. I was begging for food, and a strange man suddenly bursted out of the shadows, running with what was to be expected stolen goods. As he raced past me, he accidentally dropped this strange fruit. I devoured it all. Ever since then, I have gained abilities, and lost some, too. I can no longer swim. My body sinks like a rock. I decided that it was time to get my head out of the clouds and start my day. As I began to walk away, my eyes noticed noticed a ship comming toward the island. My ears perked up, curious about the new-comers. I decided to wait inside and see if the people aboard tht ship were freindly eough to be around. A few minutes past, and I began to unsheath claws from my finger tips. I heard the sound of voices. The ship had met land not ten yards from my house. There was a strange, black-haired boy whom I knew as the fugitive and pirate, Monkey D. Luffy. With him were all of his crew-mates. The onc epiratye-hunter, Rorahora Zorro. The Navigator, whom had once worked for Arlong, Nami. The most famouse chef across the world, Sanji. Ussopp, the Fibber, and, Chopper, the deer-like being.
"But Zorro, I'm hungry!" Luffy whined.
"Yea, well, we'll see what kind of resturaunts they have in town."
"Yea, and, thanks to Luffy, we need more food, too." Sanji said. I was more relaxed now. I snuck out of my house, and stalked over to them, hiding out. Then, I realized that if they went into town, everyone would recognize them, seeing that there were about a hundred of each of their posters on each wall. So, I hid my ears and tai, and un-did my claws. Nothing I could do about the eyes.
"If you go into town, you'll be slaughtered. Too many people will know who you are." I must have really startled them, because I was beingg stared at by the whole Pirate crew.
"Hey! Just who do you think you are?! Sneaking up on us like that?!" Luffy screamed.
"Sorry...I just thought that you'd like to know that it will be dangerous if you go into town..."
"Who are you?!" Nami asked.
"I'm Jessie. I live in the small house ove there." I pointed to the shack that I called a house. "It's not much, but I call it a home."
"Wait a sec! Why would you want to help us in the first place? I bet, if we stay here, the Navy will be on us in a second!" Nami protested.
"Well then, check me for any Navy devices or suits or anything. I'd never work for them."
"Hey! Do you wanna join our crew?" Luffy hollered. I had to think about that offer. If I did go with them, then I'd get off this mess of an island forever and actually do something with my life.
"Well...I guess I could..." I mean, it's not like I had anyone here worth missing..
"Okay!" Luffy cheered. At that moment, my tail got a little tired and twtched just an inch.
"What the heck?!" Zorro said. I'd knowwn my cover was bolwn, and slowly let my tail unwind, and my ears pop up. My eyes went back to normal, and my nails turned back into claws.
"I guess you could say that I have some weird qualities..."
"Well, yea! it was Ussopp this time. "I mean, how could you forget something like that?! I mean, when I, Capt-"
"Shut up, big nose." Sanji said.
"My nose is not big!" he covered it up with his hands, very offended.
"Well, it looks like you know us all. Welcome to the Straw Hat Crew!"
