I'm having to revise all my chapters again, so please bear with me for a moment.

~Foosha Village, East Blue~

I run as fast as I can trying to get as far away from that old man of a marine as I can. He said he brought me here to 'get along' with his grandsons, and to 'keep me safe'. I know this is all just a load of crap because I'm never safe wherever I go, as long as I'm alive it's never safe. As for his grandsons...well I don't see why they would want to be near me; it's Garp's job to kill me, yet he wanted to go all Captain America and try to save me from the marines to try and give me 'a normal life'. I run through the woods and stop at the edge that opens up to a gloomy place that looks like a land fill for things people no longer wanted.

"The Gray Terminal," I whisper to myself as I remember Garp pointing it out and telling me to never go in there. I smirk to myself as I jump down into the Gray Terminal and start to wander around the place.

I greet everyone I pass, and most give me a surprised and confused look. I don't blame them; if I was one of the people living here and I saw a seven year old girl with short golden hair, light sky blue eyes, in a white dress and barefooted, I would probably be surprised and confused also. Though Garp had told me that this place was dangerous and scary, I felt like I belonged here, like I belonged in this place where things that people don't want in their lives go. I can't help but feel homesick already as I reach the edge of the Gray Terminal and run into another cropping of forest, but this one with much larger and taller trees. I start to wander through this forest also, wanting to get away from Garp, but to also see new things. I freeze as voices up ahead start to argue. I creep towards the voices and listen.

"Wow! Look at all the money we have!"

"Yeah! Soon we'll be able to sail out to sea!"

"I wanna be the captain!"

"No I'm going to be the captain!"

"No! I am!"

I can't help but let out a laugh at the immaturity, but stop as they stop talking and try to find where the laugh had come from. They jump down from the tree and I look to see who they are. There are three boys: one who was about my age with short black hair, brown eyes and a scar underneath his left eye, a boy with shaggy black hair, light brown eyes, and freckles, and a boy with buzzed blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tooth missing from his smile. They start to get closer and I take the chance to climb my tree and hop across the branches to theirs.

I open the hatch they had just closed and found money, gold, and jewelry in there. "Wow! You do have a lot of money!"

The three boys dart their sight upwards to where I was and glared as I pulled out a bag of money.

"Hey that's our money!" The boy with the scar said.

"I know; I don't care about it anyway." I say to them. They watch me as I set the money back down into the hatch and close it up. "I was just curious as to how much." I twine my fingers together behind my back and stare down at them.

"Who are you?" The boy with freckles asked.

"That's none of your business," I say with a smile.

"CRYSTAL!" a booming voice yells.

I turn towards the voice and take a step back as Garp charges his way through the forest towards me. I slip off the branch and feel myself falling; I brace for impact but instead feel arms wrap around me and catch me before I can hit solid ground. I look up and see freckles looking down at me with an irritated look.

"You're clumsy," He says as he sets me down.

"Yeah, thanks." I tell him, not knowing what else to say. I smile up at him and a faint blush creeps along his face.

I open my mouth to tell him sorry about being rude, but before I can someone grabs the back of my dress and lifts me up into the air.

"I told you to never go into the Gray Terminal or anywhere away from Foosha Village!" Garp yells into my ear.

"I'm not deaf!" I yell back at him. "Besides, what's so bad about it? If anything I feel like I belong." I say with a pout causing Garp to get a stress mark.

"You're supposed to be here to get to know my grandsons, and be safe." Garp said with a sigh.

"Yeah, well I'll never be safe, and who ever said that your grandsons would even like me?" I say with hate. "They could want to kill me just like everyone else! Now, LET ME GO!"

I swing my leg upward and connect with his jaw and snap his head backwards; I use the momentum of the swing to carry my body up and I pushed on his hand to fling me farther into the air. I land on Garp's face and knock him to the floor as I jump down and onto the ground.

"Wo-hoah! So cool! You took down Oji-san!" Scar said with a smile from ear to ear as he walks around Garp.

"Oji-san?" I say confused.

"Wow! She took down Garp!" Blondie said.

"No way," Freckles says as his eyes widen and his jaw drops in surprise.

"Wait, did you say Oji-san? He's your grandpa? YOU'RE his grandsons?" I say with exasperation.

"Yeah, hey! My name's Monkey D. Luffy!" Scar says as he walks over and hugs me.

Blondie walks over and grabs Luffy off of me and flings him back. "Sabo. Just Sabo."

I nod my head trying to catch up when Freckles walks in front of me and looks me up and down. He did that about five times until he crosses his arms and sighs. "Portgas D. Ace."

"Nice...to...meet...you?" I say slowly still confused.

"How did you do that?" Ace asks as he looks at Garp.

I shrug my shoulders. "I just fought. It's how I've survived all these years." I walk over to Garp and poke his cheek. "I think I hit him too hard though." I smile as I back up and then sprint towards Garp, before I reach him I jump into the air and land hard onto his stomach.

The air rushes out of him as his eyes shoot open and he grabs my ankle and pulls it into the air.

"What is the meaning of this!" he yells angrily.

Everyone freezes as Garp yells; Garp, Luffy, Sabo and Ace redden as my dress is taken over by gravity and falls down past my underwear and stomach. Garp lets my ankle go and I land on the floor onto my feet.

"What's wrong with you guys?" I ask them.

"Crystal you have no sense of embarrassment. I told you there's a difference between boys and girls." Garp says as he covers his face with his hand.

"Yeah I know, girls have vagina's and boys have dicks." I say simply.

The boys fall over as I said it and Garp slowly gets back up. "This is another reason why I'm leaving you with the boys. Hopefully they'll somehow get the difference into your head about privacy." Garp says. "Now let's go, I still have to introduce you to DanDan."

I shrug my shoulders and follow after Garp. A while later we make it to a little house up on the hill overlooking Foosha Village.

A big woman with orange hair, brown eyes and short legs walks out with a cigarette in her mouth and a glare in her eyes.

"She's the girl?" She asks.

"Crystal this is DanDan, she'll be watching you." Garp says.

"Does she know who I am?" I ask him.

DanDan squints her eyes and looks at Garp. "What does she mean by that?"

"He didn't tell you? Oh well, I guess I'll have to." I say with a glint in my eyes.

"Crystal don't te-" Garp starts to say.

"My name is Crystal Hijiri. Daughter of the infamous Hijiri family."

DanDan drops her cigarette as the shock and fear overtakes her and jumps back. "No, no, no, no, no, NO! Garp I am NOT taking care of her! She's a monster! She's a child of the devil! She deserves to die! She shouldn't be alive!" She yells to Garp.

I grip my dress and look down with sad eyes, knowing she would say such a thing, but still feeling the sting anyway. The boys had taken a step back, but as DanDan said that both Ace and Luffy got mad. Luffy because he doesn't like people saying others need to die and Ace because DanDan had said the same thing about him when he arrived. It triggered both of them as they saw me grip my dress and saw the look on my face.

"Hey take that back! That wasn't nice!" Luffy yells as he walks up to DanDan.

Ace glowers as he steps in front of me and shields me from DanDan.

"You don't understand what this child's parents have done to the world!" DanDan yells in anger.

"Exactly her PARENTS not Her." Garp says getting angry. "She hasn't done a thing."

"YET!" DanDan argues.

"Crystal hasn't done anything! Just leave her alone!" Luffy yells.

I clench my jaw and walk around Ace to Luffy. I touch Luffy's arm and shake my head. "It's okay. You don't need to defend me, she won't listen."

"But-" Luffy argues.

I shake my head at him again. "Really, it's okay. I'm used to it. I'm used to people hating me and wanting me dead." I look at DanDan and take a step towards her and she reacts by stepping backwards again. I stop and bow to her. "I'm sorry I've already caused so much trouble. I won't be a bother any longer." I straighten up and smile at Luffy and Ace. "Thanks."

Ace and Luffy knew that smile was one with major sadness in it as I walked away from everybody. I walked into the forest and just started to travel not really knowing where I was going.

~3rd person P.O.V.~

"DanDan," Garp says to her in a voice that said 'How could you do that?'.

"She's a monster Garp!" DanDan argues.

"No, she's not. Her parents are. And because of what her parents have done, everyone takes it out on her. I brought her here to try and give her a new life." Garp started. "You see, her parents hate her and want her dead, because unlike them being pure darkness, she's somehow pure light. Her parents abandoned her when she wasn't even a year old, nobody would take her in because of who she was. That little time she was with her family she started to change her siblings, they changed from dark to light because they were around her. So her two older brothers, her twin sister and later her younger brother lived with her and they took care of each other. But no matter where they went they were always hated, so they moved away from everything else." Garp got a grave expression on his face as everyone drew closer to listen. "Her parents didn't like that she took all their children to her side. They decided that she shouldn't have anyone with her, and if their children wanted her side more than theirs then they would have to die."

Many of the people gasped in realization to what was going to happen.

"They sent some people after her and her siblings and killed the only people she had. She watched as her siblings were murdered and left to lie in their own blood. She was four years old then and since then she's been wandering around alone and scared. But everywhere she went people gave her the same look you did with hatred and fear, and said to her the same things you did, along with much worse things." Garp rubbed the back of his head in remembrance. "It probably didn't help that all pirates and marines are after her because of her power. But though all this has happened to her, most people would have given up and killed themselves or gone into a dark state and eventually died, she's different, she still smiles through it all. Not once have I ever seen that girl cry, as long as she's been with me, which is two years, she has never cried."

DanDan looks down guiltily and rubs the back of her neck. "Damn, now I feel bad."

"She only wants to be accepted, heck not even that, she just wants someone to smile at her and show her kindness. There's only one person who's done that, the one who took her in when her parents threw her out. She calls him her father, but he's just someone who took her in. Took me forever to get her away from him. It was his idea to take her somewhere safe, before she gets hurt." Garp said.

"I'm going to look for her!" Luffy announced.

Ace nodded and him, Luffy and Sabo took off to search for Crystal.

~Crystal's P.O.V.~

I sigh as I try to get the events out of my head.

"Hey little girl," A deep voice says behind me.

I whip around and face a huge man with flame red hair and green eyes.

"What's a princess like you doing walking out here?" He said as he walked closer. "I saw that marine escort you into this island. You must be very precious."

I clench my jaw and take off running, but he was faster as he grabbed my arm and pulled me up. He gripped his arm around me and tightened till I couldn't breathe anymore. I black out as my lungs are deprived from air and last I heard was him saying. "Captain Blue Jam will like you."
