Prologue
No One's POV
"GET BACK HERE, KID!"
"TRY TO CATCH ME FIRST!"
A girl ran away laughing from the angered Marines who were staying at their post right outside of town.
The villagers didn't even stare since it was already a daily routine, the girl kept pranking those Marines every morning, not even a day passed without her doing it. This time, she drew flowers, sparkles, and other things on the wanted posters when they weren't looking...
"Tch! She got away again!" A marine said with an anime vein on his head. "Chill... It's just a child's prank..." Another marine said. "On the wanted posters?! Are you kidding me?!" The other marine yelled. "She got us good though..." A larger marine laughed merrily.
The girl giggled as she watched them from behind a giant tree and started to walk away. "Ah~ Today's prank is a big success~ Time to go- HOME?!"
TRIP
"Ouwieeeeee..." The girl whined as she held her head. "What did I just trip..?" She looked at the ground and saw something kind of round and swirly. "What the? What in the world is this thing?" she asked to herself before looking around. "I don't see anyone who might have dropped it..." Shrugging, she brought the thing home.
The little girl walked into an orphanage and she was greeted by a group of children.
"Welcome back, sis!" A smaller girl exclaimed happily. "I'm back, everyone!" she replied, smiling.
"Ng? What's that?" A little boy asked, staring at the round thing in her hand. "Um... I dunno, either... I was thinking that Philly-san might know. Speaking of that, where is she anyway?" she asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, she said that she would be at the library." A teenage girl answered.
"Really? Thanks, Amelia!" The girl thanked her. The girl who answered just smiled in reply.
Before going to the library, however, the girl was quite curious on how the fruit tastes, so she went to the kitchen, cut a piece, and ate it. In an instant, her face turned pale.
"Ugh... I think this thing's a type of herbal medicine... It's freaking bitter..." she muttered. Along with the bitter taste came another feeling. "Hm? Cool! My body seems to be lighter!" she cheered happily. 'THEN IT REALLY WAS MEDICINE?!' she thought in panic.
The little girl walked to the library hurriedly, on the way, however, she passed by a child her age who was wearing a hood. "Hm? I've never seen him or her before... I wonder if he or she's new..." she spoke to herself before entering the library.
"Philly-san! I was wondering if-" The girl widened her eyes in shock.
A horrifying scene was right before the little girl's eyes. The motherly figure of the orphanage was left there on the cold floor, full of blood. Right beside her was a book about the devil fruits, part of the book was covered with blood.
"PHILLY-SAN!" she screamed in horror.
Hearing her cry, the other children rushed to the library and froze right after they saw the woman.
"No..." One of them muttered.
A few seconds later, crying was heard throughout the orphanage.
Outside the building, the child the girl just met before was leaning on the wall, crossing his/her arms. "You knew too much..." he/she muttered in a cold way before walking away.
The next day, a funeral was held for the woman in the small village.
"*sniff* *sniff* Why did Philly-san had to die..?" A little girl asked, wiping her tears away.
"Because someone killed her..." An older girl answered with bitterness in her voice. "Why? She didn't do anything wrong!" The little girl cried out.
"That's how the world goes, even if you didn't do anything, someone would still hurt you..." The oldest child of the orphanage said.
After the funeral, a general approached the girl who founded the corpse first.
"Excuse me, but is your name Annabeth?" The general asked. The girl blinked. "Um, no. Annabeth-san left the orphanage around 2 years ago." she replied. "I see. We found this at the table in the library. This letter seems to be indicated for her, but since she's not here, I'll leave it in your care then." he said before leaving with the other Marines.
"A letter for Annabeth-san?" The girl knew that she shouldn't pry, but due to curiosity, she read the letter anyway.
.
Dear, Annabeth
Long time no see, my dear friend. It's me, Phillia. I know that it's been a long time since I've written you a letter, but this might be the final letter I would be writing for you.
I know you're dead curious to why by now, but you see... when you have read this, I might have already be long gone.
A few weeks(or a long time ago, ha ha!) ago, I met a strange child at the park when I was giving the kids a stroll. All of a sudden, the child gave me a strange fruit and said that the child's mother wanted to give it for the orphanage. Of course, I accepted, but I didn't know what that was back then ; I thought that it was just a new type of fruit species, but then I was wrong.
Right when we got back, I felt something strange about the fruit and went to the library to search about it from some books, and that was when I found fearful news. The fruit wasn't just a normal fruit, it was called a devil fruit.
In the book that I was just reading, it said that the fruit would give someone who ate the fruit incredible powers in exchange that the person wouldn't be able to swim forever, because the sea had rejected them. However, if this fruit were to fall at evil hands... I don't even know what would happen...
The fruit the child just gave seems to be the kaze kaze no mi. It would give wind powers for the one who eats it.
I have 2 questions from this, though... Why exactly did the child give me this fruit when he/she had probably known what it was? Or does he/she not know, yet his/her mother never taught him/her to not give strange things to strangers? I don't think the second choice seems to be it, since it seems that this type of fruit was already known worldwide, but why?
Does he/she want me to give it to someone in the orphanage? But... That's just not right! Most of the criminals in the wanted posters seems to have eaten this, the reason for their strange power, but... to give such a fate to the children... I couldn't even bear that thought... People would stay away from them and treat them as outcasts.
The second question is... Why her? Why is there her name in a piece of paper along with the strange fruit? What does all of this mean? I don't understand...
Do you think... Do you think that the fruit was given to her?
Annabeth... Please help her...
Help Leia...
From your best friend,
Phillia
Note: - (Unreadable since it was covered with blood)

After reading the few last words in the letter, the girl widened her eyes. "N-No way..."
She let go of the letter and ran away.
A little girl blinked when she saw her. "Sis?" she said.
"What's with her?" A smaller boy asked. "Hey, look! Who might've dropped this?" An older girl said.
"Who cares? It's just an empty piece of paper anyway!" A boy exclaimed.
Leia was walking around the beach, kicking rocks, with a pout on her face.
'So that's why that weird thing tasted freaking bitter...' she thought. "But..." The girl sat down on a nearby rock. "The power to control wind, huh? That seems quite... interesting, actually." she commented.
Then she stared at her hands. "Hm... Should I try it..? The fruit's probably fake though..." She did a twirl with her fingers and in front of her was a mini cyclone. "Eh?!" She stood up instantly, eyes wide open in disbelief.
Leia gasped. 'I-I... D-Did that actually happen..?'
Still not believing it, she rubbed her eyes. The cyclone already disappeared, however.
"I-I wasn't hallucinating, was I..?" she said to no one in particular before sighing. "What's done is done, I guess... I'll try practicing this back home..." With that, she walked back home.
Watching from behind, the hooded child from before smirked. 'We shall meet again, Leia...' he/she thought before walking away.
