New story~ And my first time writing a fanfiction in the universe of One Piece. I discovered the anime and manga a month or two ago and was completely thrilled with the plot. When I saw Trafalgar Law appear for the first time, I felt like writing a story about his crew and their adventures on the Grand Line.

I don't have a beta-reader for this story yet, so there might me grammar, spelling and probably a few plot holes. If someone wants to help me, please PM me!

Anyways, on with the story! I hope you'll enjoy the first chapter~

Do it with a DON!

"Do what you love with a DON! Be proud of your work with a DON! Kick your enemy's ass with a DON. But, you cook with delicacy. That's how life works."

"...You could at least clean the kitchen with a DON once you're done."

"Do people fall in love with a DON too?"

Chapter 1:

Yo there!

Got a coin to spare?

"Let the drums play, let the rhythm take you. Hmhm~"

Kazeko strolled down the street, moving her hips and feet in a particular rhythm while humming a song. Her long dark red hair that was attached in two pigtails on the front with pearls and one low ponytail in her back with a bigger pearl, bounced on her shoulders and on her back, her straw hat was swaying along. Her many small chains with golden coins attached to them jingled and a huge grin was on the face of the girl, showing a recent victory against some street boys. Her long slender and brown legs, were full of recent scars and wounds, showing off her wild character.

She tripped over her sandal and fell from the stone stairs she was going down. A few ladies who were passing by watched the body land painfully on the face and rest there for a few seconds, the butt in the air. The girl jumped back on her feet, her face now also dirty but with the huge grin still on the face.

"Keep up the rhythm. Yoyoyooo~!"

And the strange character went off again, still swinging and humming, leaving a startled and bewildered public behind. Slowly, when the figure disappeared out of sight, disapproving grunts could be heard and the people dispersed again.

This was Kirikokokaze town. Kazeko's hometown and beloved island. The place where she grew up and never ever something happened. People had that sad habit in that place to resemble each other too much and always disapprove silently, but heavily, about everything that was different. Like Kaze made any difference about it. She happily went on being different. Heck, she had eaten the Bling-Bling fruit, which was already making her at least hundred times different from those people. And her strange habit of humming and singing almost everything she said was also not something to neglect as major difference. Though, it was only after her parents death that she decided to wear strange clothes; baggy guy shorts, a simple bikini top, a straw hat held by a string, chains with golden coins she had collected attached to it, a knife on her left hip, tattooed "Kaze" on her right arm along with a triangle band and a sun, and in the end, with the help of her abilities, made a range of small pearls and a diamond appear on her forehead. And most of the time, she was or barefoot or had sandals on.

The mothers of the city made their children look elsewhere when she passed and the men laughed at her openly, but if a stranger asked them who that cheery girl was, they'd always answer that she was the pride of the village. Ironic, but true. She was a hard worker and extremely strong thanks to her fruit's abilities. Plus, she had one of the best eyes when it came to choosing merchandise.

Kirikokokaze was in the middle of the North Blue, and a city known for its soft climate, and its great fruit and vegetables market. Kaze worked there almost every day of the year as carrier of heavy weights. Ships, restaurants came there to get the best food they needed and the prices were surely high for those people. You'd wonder if people would be able to survive in such a pricey place. Be reassured, it was common to have it's own garden and to exchange your products with your neighbour.

"Sadly, I dun have a garden or a neighbour. Thus I work hard." would Kaze say, while grinning and showing her biceps. "I'm doing my stuff with a DON and win my life. Hmhm~"

And on that, she'd walk off delivering anything she'd have in her hands.

The docks would be one of the places she'd deliver very often. And most of the time, she'd have a nice chit chat with the sailors of the boats, recognizing some of them from time to time.

Though, the ones she liked the most were those of the great restaurant Baratie, the greatest of East Blue, held by Zeff, the bloody leg. The stories she got to hear about their youngest member who had left to find the All Blue amazed her and she often dreamed about it.

In the evening, she'd cook with in a restaurant for a few hundred beli a week. Then, at two in the morning, she'd be home in her small appartement. The place was tidy and well kept. Everything was in place, as if she was on board of a ship. In fact, everything in it reminded the visitor of a ship. And on the wall in front of her bed, "All Blue" and "Cooking pawns" were painted with some red paint, along with a few wanted posters of a few well known pirates of the Grande Line. Fire Fist Ace, Trafalgar Law, Eustass "Captain" Kidd were the ones who had the best place, above all the others. Each time, before sleeping, she'd give them a victory pose, then plop on her bed and fall asleep.

Kazeko's life was maybe monotonous and boring by times, but she couldn't say she was unhappy to live in Kirikokokaze. But her wildest dreams were on the sea and yet to come.

That was what she told herself. She had no idea when she'd be able to leave on a journey of piracy yet.

"But that day will come! And then I'd be a pirate who'd do things with a DON!"

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Yo, hmhm~ Here I come with the drums~!"

Kaze was walking down the streets towards her work, again humming a random made up song, when she saw a man appear at the end of the lower part of the street she never thought she'd ever see in her life. Immediately, she sped up her pace, slipped and rolled down the stairs, only to land in front of a strange bunch of people. This time, she was still grinning, but her cheeks were flushed, a feeling of being ridiculous coming over her for the first time in her life. She had been clumsy in front of her hero! Her hat slipped on her nose, hiding her eyes.

"...Wow."

The voice sounded nasal and muffled by something. Kaze opened one eye and saw a big, white bear in front of her nose. Someone crouched down in front of her and with one hand took her hat off. She blew off a red lock out of her eyes and grinned sheepishly at the man. He had dark eyes, with slight shadows under them. Two black sideburns at the sides of his face and a polar styled hat on his head.

"Yo." she greeted him. "Got a coin to spare for me?"

The man raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the unusual request and the fact she didn't flee like most people would do. He was still a rookie as pirate, but his name had already spread enough to make every sane person walk as quickly as possible away from his path. But that random red haired person had landed right in front of his and his men's noses and then had the nerve to ask them if she had a coin to spare for her. What was she? A beggar? He had hard times to imagine that with her clothing; it was maybe simple, but in a good state and she was clean, mostly. And she had jewels on her front, expensive jewels. That was a detail that interested him in that girl. She had money for sure and the coin part was probably a simple joke.

Meanwhile, the girl had stood up and was busy dusting herself off and placed her hat back on her head.

"Trafalgar Law, Bounty of 30 thousand Beli after only sailing for less than a week on the Northern part of the North Blue." she began. "He has eaten the Baba Baba no Mi, giving him the power to change objects, lives in a specific space. He carries a nodachi and one of his most noticeable companions is a polar bear who can speak."

She stopped there, staring for a moment at the group and suddenly bowed at them.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Caliko D. Kazeko. Please take me in your crew!"
