*Crash*
"Dammit! Someone shoot her down, now!" A marine captain yelled sending many of the marines into a panic.
A small lithe woman narrowed her eyes at the man before two massive black feathery wings appeared from her back. With the flap of her wings, she shot off a lightning bolt at them and the sky darkened with storm clouds.
A terrified marine ran up to the captain, "Captain! We can't stay here-!" He was cut off by the angry captain who glared at him.
"She's weak, there's no way she could cause a cyclone in her state." The captain muttered.
The woman closed her eyes before spreading out her arms, "Sai…" She began as the winds picked up even more.
The marines gained a terrified look upon hearing this, "She's gonna sink us!" They yelled.
"Kuron!" She finished as the wind literally blew the ship away. She sighed and looked into the distance, "What am I going to do…" She trailed off as she flew away.
It was a rather slow day with the Straws Hats as Luffy complained about how bored he was. That is until he saw a massive black bird land on the railing of the ship.
The bird stared back at him while a grin settled on his face, "You're one huge bird, y'know." He said.
The bird glared at his hungry look before flapping it's wings, thunder sounded and the sky filled with dark clouds.
His eyes widened when the bird morphed into a small winged woman with massive black wings. Electricity crackled around her as she held her glare.
"You ate a devil fruit?! Sorry! I didn't know you were a human!" Luffy yelled with a sheepish look.
The woman faltered, "Are you not with the marines?" Her voice was soft but it carried on the wind to his ears.
"Shishishi! Nope, I'm Monkey. D Luffy, and I'm gonna be the Pirate King!" He yelled with a loud laugh.
The rest of the crew gathered on the deck after hearing the thunder, "What is that?!" Nami yelled.
Luffy grinned, "I thought she was food, but she ended up being a human!" He yelled while pointing wildly at the woman that was seemingly hovering.
"Mellorine! What a beautiful woman!" Sanji yelled with hearts in his eyes.
The woman blushed, "R-Really?" She whispered before it reached their ears due to the wind.
He did his noodle dance causing them to sweatdrop.
The woman floated down to ship and the storm subsided, causing many of them to jaw drop.
"Did you cause the storm?!" Nami asked.
The woman nodded, "Yes. I am a Thunderbird."
Robin tilted her head in interest, "The mythological one that supposedly ruled the skies?" At the woman's nod, Robin smiled, "So a single flap of your wings can cause a storm, how deadly." She said scaring Usopp at how happy she seemed.
The woman sighed before falling to her knees, Chopper ran over to her in worry, "Are you okay?!"
"I'm okay, I've just been flying around for a couple of days, and I ran into the marines a few hours ago." She admitted while rubbing her eyes. Her wings folded against her back as she pushed herself up, only to fall again.
"Mellorine~Allow me to help you~!" Sanji swooned before helping the woman up and supporting her when her legs began shaking.
The woman blushed, "T-Thanks." She said with a small smile, "I really don't wanna trouble you guys."
"Why would you be troubling us?" Zoro asked with a suspicious look.
"I...um escaped from a marine vessel three days ago." She mumbled while hiding her face using her wings.
Silence rang through the air until Luffy's laughter pierced it, "And here I was thinking you may have been a marine!" He laughed.
Her vibrant purple eyes sparkled before tucking her wings away, "So...you aren't gonna turn me in despite my bounty?" She asked.
They froze at her words, "You...never mentioned a bounty." Robin said in interest while her smile never faded.
The woman blinked, "You've never seen it?" She reached into a pocket before pulling out a bounty, "Here."
On the cover was a beautiful young woman in a wedding dress. Her eyes were empty purple orbs and her long black hair was tied into a braided bun. In her hands was a bouquet of pure white roses. Resting on top of her head was a large crown decorated in thousands of gems.
Wanted 'Alive'
Crown Princess Thea
100,000,000
The now named Thea, squirmed nervously under their gazes. "I um...ran away when they were beginning the vows."
Robin gained a thoughtful look, "A runaway princess...with that high of a bounty?"
Thea smiled nervously, "Ahm...That's because I'm pretty important...Whoever I'm betrothed to gets my kingdom's riches." She explained while fiddling with her fingers. "They put that up so that I would be found faster."
Her eyelids fell, "I...I just didn't want to marry him!" Her outburst startled the pirates as she covered her eyes, "I'm only 18! Isn't that when you're supposed to be having fun?!"
The girls personality did another flip as she began smiling, "So, you'll hide me, right?!"
"No way!" They yelled, but Luffy began laughing.
"You won't sink us?" He asked and the woman blinked before nodding.
"I will not summon a cyclone to rip apart your ship, Luffy-sama!" She announced with a bow causing the crew to jawdrop.
"You were planning on summoning a cyclone?!" They asked while Luffy only continued laughing.
She blinked innocently, "Maybe. After he wanted to make me into his next meal." Thea said with a blush.
"Luffy!" Sanji yelled, "How dare you try to eat such a beautiful woman, one that happens to be a princess!" He kicked the boy into the mast while still holding the princess. "He didn't hurt you...did he?!"
"Ah...no he didn't." Thea said with a prominent blush and a nervous laugh.
"I already said sorry!" Luffy yelled through the mast.
Sanji didn't accept this, however, and kicked the boy on the head, Thea blinked at this before grabbing the chef's leg with one of her massive wings, "It's not his fault, Curly-kun! He was hungry and I looked good, it was just a common mistake!" She said and failed to notice the growing blush on the chef's face.
Curly-kun? She doesn't even know me and she's giving me a nickname!~ Sanji thought as hearts floated around him.
"Is Curly-kun okay?" Thea asked nervously to the two other women on the ship.
"Yep, don't worry about him." Nami said with a tick mark while Robin merely laughed at the girl's expression.
"Oh, okay!" Thea nodded and looked at Luffy who was bored beyond words.
"Luffy-sama, mind if I ask where you are going?" She asked hesitantly as if she would explode if she said the wrong thing.
He blinked before grinning, "We're heading to Fishman Island!"
Thea blinked several times before she let out a shrill shriek, "But, Luffy-sama, to go to Fishman Island, you would have to get something for this ship! I read it in a book and the only place near to that is Sabaody!"
While the woman continued to freak out, Luffy tilted his head and looked at a man with blue hair and massive arms, "Eh, is what she saying true, Franky?"
The man gained a thoughtful look, "It depends what the object is."
Thea stumbled into a faceplant, "Just trust me on this one, Luffy-sama! I may be a princess but even I know you have to have something to go to Fishman Island." She said while twirling her hair nervously.
"Then we'll figure it out when the time comes." Nami said while putting her hands on her hips.
Thea flapped her wings to lift herself up before sighing, "To think I would end up on the ship of an upcoming pirate crew…Sounds like the making of a novel." She said in a wistful manner before promptly falling on her face again much to the amusement of the pirates.
Thea pried herself off of the deck with an embarrassed blush, Why do I keep doing that?! She thought as she cried crocodile tears causing all, minus Sanji, to sweatdrop.
Sanji quickly helped the klutzy princess up, "Are you okay, Thea-chwan?!"
Thea shook her head before smiling in embarrassment, "Yes I am, Curly-kun."
I'm such a klutz! Thea thought and blushed brightly as she tried to keep her balance.
It was safe to say that the runway princess was indeed a clumsy one.
