Chapter 1. The Lonely Girl and the Fruit

"Mommy, Daddy! What's that weird looking apple on the table?"

A little girl with long black hair and orange eyes asked her parents one day.

Her mom looked over at the table and back at her daughter, "That's called a Devil-Fruit, Minako, it's very bad, if you eat it you'll never be able to swim."

Minako looked at her mom. "But Mommy, if it's bad, why do we have it?"

Her mother smiled at her, "We're going to give it away for money so we can buy you more food, honey."

Her father looked at her sternly, "So don't touch it, okay?"

Minako nodded and went to play outside. "Hey guys!" She shouted gleefully, "Guess what!" Minako's best friend, Ninima, looked at her and waved. "What happened? Did you get a sheep like you wanted?" Minako shook her head, "My mom and dad bought a Debil-Fwoot and they're going to give it to someone for money!"

"Wait, did you say Devil-Fruit?" An older boy asked Minako. She nodded, "It's really funny looking and it's yellow with swirls on it!" The boy stared at her.

"You've got to eat it."

Minako looked surprised. "Why?"

The older boy laughed "If you do, you'll get super powers and you'll be really strong!"

Minako looked at Ninima, "But Momma told me not to."

"Who cares! You'll be a superhero or something like that!" Minako looked excited at that.

"Minako! Dinner!" The girl's mother called from her house.

Minako looked at them and smiled, "Bye, I'll eat it after dinner!"

Minako stared at the fruit, it looked so cool.

"Minako, your mom and I are going to the bar, okay?"

"Okay Daddy!"

"Remember…do not touch the fruit!"

Minako nodded, and crossed her fingers behind her back.

Then they left.

Quickly she took the apple and ate it. The girl grimaced as she chewed and swallowed. "EW!" She squealed, then fell asleep on the couch.

"MINAKO!" The girl was up in a flash.

"Mommy?"

"Did you eat the fruit!" Her mother screamed.

"Mhmm, it didn't taste good though." Minako frowned.

Her father looked horrified while her mother fainted.

"Mommy? What's wrong?" Minako cried, seeing their fear.

"Minako, have you….gone to the bathroom yet?"

Minako nodded, shaking.

"Oh no."

"Daddy, what's going-" Before she could finish she heard banging on the door.

"Open up! Do you have the fruit?"A voice from outside the door shouted. Her mother screamed after she woke up and heard them.

"Minako, hurry, go to your room and don't answer the door until we tell you to." Her father said with shaky breath.

Minako looked at her father and ran to her room and peeked through the crack in her door.

When the young girl went to her bedroom, her father (we're gonna call him Bob for now) opened the door, an older man with a comical scrappy beard came in. "Good morning, Konat." Bob said, bowing a little.

"Do you have the fruit?" The man asked, without a greeting in return. "Of course, right this way." Bob said, leading him into the kitchen. "Here you go." He said, handing Konat the fruit, making sure the bitten part was on the opposite side of him.

The man snatched it from him and examined it. His eyes went wide. "Someone bit into already! What kind of fool do you take me for!" The man then grabbed Bob by his collar and fiercely shouted, "WHO ATE IT!" Minako gasped.

Unfortunately, Konati heard her. Minako eyes grew wide and tried to run but the man snatched her before she could get away.

"You wouldn't happen to know who ate this delicious fruit would you?" He asked with false sweetness. Minako tried to say something but the words wouldn't come. This man was scary to her. Instead, with irony, she burped.

The man glared at her. "You ate it didn't you! You rotton little-" Before the man could finish Bob came running to him and shouted "I ate it!"

Konati glared at him, "I'm not pleased by this…" He said very slowly. "I told you the punishment if anything were to happen to it, am I wrong?" Bob shook his head, "No sir, I will accept it."

Bob and his wife looked at their child, Bob looked at her and kneeled in front of her like a knight would a princess, and said "Minako, this may be the last time we'll see you, just remember, we love you no matter what happens, you're going to grow up and become a beautiful woman with a strong will, someday you'll find someone that knows that, cherish that person, protect them no matter what happens and they'll do the same to you, we're going to miss you." And with that Bob kissed his daughter on the head and her mother gave her one on a cheek and they both gave her a big hug.

Still not understanding what was happening, Minako began to cry and hugged them back. "Why? Where are you going? Please take me with you!" Bob just smiled sadly at her, "We're going somewhere far away, and fortunately, it's not yet your time to come."

And with that Bob took his daughter and threw her threw the window where a garden was. Surprisingly though, Minako landed on all fours. "Huh? How did I-" But before she could finish, she looked up…

…to see her house burning in flames.

Dunh-dunh-DUUUUNH!
