Spawn of the Devil, Daughter of the Sea
This is my first anime fanfiction. Well, that I've actually written down. I have a lot in my head for several different anime that may or may not get written. Anyways, please go easy on me! Please review, but I don't take hate comments! Constructive criticism only please!
Here to say the disclaimer, Roronoa Zoro!
Zoro: You owe me for this.
BL: I know, just shut up and say it. I'll serve grog with your meal.
Zoro: Benihime Linn does not own One Piece, nor any of the characters, except for Akira...Wait!! Where's my grog?!?!?
Chapter 1: The Beginning
"I've had it with you guys! I'm gonna show you just how tough I am!" a boy of seven with black hair said.
"Get it over with! Whatever it is…" the captain of the pirate crew, Red-haired Shanks, replied.
"What's he up to now?!"A young girl, and the protagonist of this story, thought angrily. She was tired of this stupid boy, and his antics to become a pirate. She looked up in time to see him stab himself under the left eye. What the hell is he doing?!
* * *
"That didn't hurt a bit!" Monkey D. Luffy, the crazy, black haired boy exclaimed.
"That was stupid and reckless!" Shanks shouted at him.
"I wanna be a pirate, too!"
"You?! A pirate?! Yeah, right. Maybe in ten years I'll give you a chance," he laughed, eating more meat.
"Why? Akira's only nine! Why does she get to be on your crew?" Luffy whined.
"Wait, what? Since when did I get into this conversation?" Akira said, "I'm really tired about you talkin' 'bout me behind my back. You wanna say that to my face, punk? Want me to beat you again?"
"No," Luffy shied away from the older girl.
"Akira's been with us her whole life. She can also swim which is a really important part of being a pirate. She's adept with a sword, and she can manipulate the elements," the proud captain shined.
"So because I don't have powers, I can't be on your crew? That's not fair!" Okay, let's take a break and explain. Akira manipulates the elements. You know, like Avatar? She also has the pole thing that makes him fly. But, it also has another function. I'll explain the difference later… much, much later, during the Alabasta arc. Anyways, Akira has red hair, black eyes and is nine years old. She's been with Shanks crew since she was a baby.
"I'm sorry. Here, have some milk to feel better." Luffy accepted graciously, and guzzled the entire thing.
"Ha! A pirate would never drink milk!" Shanks laughed.
"You tricked me!"
"It's your fault for being so gullible!" Akira laughed. She loved how Shanks always pranked the poor boy, but she had this ominous feeling that something was going to change, and soon.
"Akira! Wake up!"
* * * * *
Akira was brought back to the present by the incessant shrieking of one Monkey D. Luffy, wannabe Pirate King.
'What do you want?' I sign.
"Why won't you talk? It's been years since I've heard you say even one word," Luffy's usually grinning face went into a frown.
'No. Now what do you want?'
"Today's the day we're setting off! Don't tell me you don't remember?" his smile returns to his face. He's so care-free. It's tiring really.
* * *
'You know you didn't have to punch him that hard.'
"I owed that damn sea monster. He took Shanks arm remember? Oh, look! A whirlpool!"
'What?!'
So, whatcha think?! FYI, when the speech is italicized, that means that Akira is signing. It's a lot easier than saying "she signed" and whatnot. Please review nicely! :)
