this is my first try at this, im a little scared lol. its a diffrent kind of story i hope you like let me know if i shioud keep posting.
I look up to the sky letting the rain that was falling hide my tears.
"What will you do now?" said gruff voice that belongs to my grandpa. I looked down to where they were baring the women that raised me and taught me everything I knew about my magic. My grandfather put me with her when he found out I was a witch. He knew she could teach me what I need to about my powers and she did but at a cost. He had to separate me from my twin brother which has been torcher. This whole time it has felt like half of my soul is missing.
"Yeah I know what I'm going to do" I said looking at my grandpa.
"You're still too young to travel" he said and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.
"I'm old enough to do what I want I'm 17. And travel is what I'm going to do I'm going to go out and find Luffy" I said and watched in amazement as the redness spread over my grandpa's face.
"Oh no you don't you can come with me to the marine base but you are not going with Luffy. That Red Haired Shanks has spoiled and corrupted his mind and he's off to become a pirate. I don't want you anywhere near that." A smile moved across my face. That my little bro (by 2 minutes but I'm still older) he always dreamed of becoming a pirate I'm glad he went out. He always claimed that he was going to be the next pirate king and I would love to not only help him get it but be there when he does so its final no matter how much my grandpa throws his tantrum I'm going.
"Ok grandpa I'll stick around here in tell I find out what I want to do. I'll let you know" I lied putting on my charming smile and batting my bright green eyes. I watch my grandpa melts in front of me I always have that effect in him. I lean in and give him a hug and kiss on his white scruffy cheek.
"Bye grandpa Garp I love you" I say and walk towards the house I grew up in. what my grandpa didn't know was that I was going to pack light and meet a friend who might get me started on my search for my Brother. The butterfly's started in my stomach on the thought of adventure. The one of many things me and Luffy have in common was the fact that we both cravrd adventure.
"Good buy Phoenix" my Grandpa says from behind me.
I shove my backpack with some cloths and things I need to get by and move to the door. I take a long sweep of the house with my eyes remember the good and bad things that happen in here. My Mentor Shelly was a good woman, strict, mean sometimes but good to me. She taught me a lot about being a witch. On how to control it when I could and use it in battle if I needed. She always seen me going to be part of something big maybe she saw me with Luffy.
I shut off the lights locked the door and move down the road towards the Harbor. The rain had stopped and the sun was shining brightly. The small island I was on was not too far from Dawn Island the island Luffy and I was Born on. Granted it felt like it was worlds away from my brother in reality it wasn't. I probably could see it from the harbor on a good day. I know Luffy was not on that island anymore and I had no reason to go there, but I also have no idea where he is, but I have a feeling on where I could start. Loguetown the island Gol D. Roger the Pirate king was born and executed on. It's also the last island before you hit the reverse mountain to enter Grand Line. I figured if I can make it there I can ask around to see if anyone seen Luffy or if not wait around in till he stops by. Because knowing my Brother he's going to want to see the execution platform where Gol D. Roger said his famous last words.
I made it to the harbor and walked to a medium size ship painted a maroon and black color. It looked new and the sails which up at the time gleamed bright white in the sun.
"Lily!" I yelled over the hustle and bustle of the harbor.
"Phi" she yelled back coming in to view on the bow of her new ship "beautiful isn't she! The New Day I called her because I'm hoping she will help me find out something new every day." No my friend Lily was not a pirate actually she hates pirates seeing they sank her parents ship with them still on it. She was an explorer, she always looking to find something new. The flag that flew clearly showed that fact to making sure no one mistakes her ship with a pirate ship.
"I have a big favor to ask you Lily" I said looking up and shielding my eyes from the midday sun.
"Here come on up and talk" she said tossing over a rope ladder. I scaled it like I was made to do it; I have been working out trying to keep my body fit. When you live in the pirate era you never know when you have to fight so it's good to keep fighting experience under your belt. I followed her across the deck and looked around at all the new shiny things on board. Her crew moved about like a well-oiled machine prepping the ship for sail.
"I'm sorry about Shelly" Lily said sitting at a table in the mess room.
"It's sad I know but I'm glad I had the time I did with her."
"What was your favor sweetie?" Lily asked she was in her mid-30's but she looked younger. The funny thing was she talked a lot older. It might have been all the knowledge crammed in that head of hers.
"I was hoping I can go with you. At least in till you either stop at Loguetown or an island close by." I watch as various facial expressions cross her face. Shock, happiness, sadness, back to neutral.
"What's in Loguetown?" she asked moving closer like I was telling her the best story ever.
"I'm going out to look for Luffy; I was hoping to meet him there."
"Your twin, did you tell Garp I bet he's not happy." She said smiling
"I tried telling him until he started to turn bright red so I said I changed my mind and he will have to find out when I'm gone, that I left." I lean back and looked at her wide blue eyes
"You just lied to the Vice Admiral of the marines? Are you crazy?" I laughed at that statement.
"The whole Monkey family is crazy. You can tell that but our last name. Anyone with the name of a spastic high energy animal has the tenacity to be crazy. My grandpa is also included in that. Garp D. Monkey and Luffy D. Monkey are both evidence of craziness me Phoenix D. Monkey are also among them." I had her laughing so hard but the end of my rant I thought she was going to pee herself.
"You my crazy good friend are free to come aboard" she said still giggling. And with my many thank you and hugs I enter in to my new adventure.
We set off not too long after. I was on the bow sitting in a head of an eagle which made up the "A New Day's" figurehead. I was comfortable there being able to look out and see what's coming. I also enjoyed the wind in my face mixed with the sea spray. When Lily found me here she almost had a cow on the deck but now she sat down on the deck right behind me. I told her I was fine I can take care of myself. She finally stopped scolding me and we were now just enjoying each other's company. I had my hair down and it blew behind me like a thick black cape. And when it settled down it fell bunch up behind me. When I stood up my hair was just below my butt in pin straight black silkiness. Same color and texture as my brothers. We also share the same dark skin and shortness. Difference between us is he had big brown eyes and I have green, We don't look like we have strength but we do, but our secret weapon is speed and agility.
"What is Luffy like?" asked Lily from behind me. I smile when I think of my brother.
"We look a lot alike, we have a lot in common but where we differ is my brother is… hum… how to put this. He's kind of clueless about a lot of things. He can be slow on the up take and he always acted younger than his age. But I haven't seen him in like 9 years so I don't know if he changed at all. But I love him, oh god do I love him. I would kill for him and I would die for him. I would do anything for him and it has been complete agony being away from him." I quickly brush a tear the leaked out of the comer of my eye.
"Why?" I turn to look at her "why has it been agony and…umm how do you know he's still alive?" I give her a smile to let her know her questions didn't bother me.
"We are twins, we are connected. But also my witch in me feels my sole is not complete without him near don't know is he feels the same thing never asked so I don't know if it's just the witch thing or a twin thing. That's the same reason why I know he's not dead. Because I would know."
"How come you're a witch and he is not?" Lily asked
"I don't know how that works. I don't know if it's a trait passed down from a parent of its just random. I don't know anything about my parents to know. Luffy has a devil's fruit though" lily gasped. A devils fruit is rear it's a fruit that gives you special ability's.
"What does he have and how the hell did he get it?" she asked breathless.
"He was really young when he ate it. He was with Red Haired Shanks when he did. He got angry with Shanks and shoved it in his mouth. Shanks was furious with Luffy found out soon after he ate the Rubber fruit or Gomu Gomu Fruit. It means his body is now all like rubber."
"What does that mean rubber body? And wait you know Red hair Shanks? he's one of the Emperors." Lily asked mouth falling open.
"Yes I have met him a few times." I said smiling thinking of Shanks he was one of the four emperors him, Kaido, Charlotte, and the most impressive to me White Beard. I would love to meet him one day.
"I think Shanks is so dreamy to bad he's a scuzzy pirate." She said shivering. I keep that Luffy was one and if I met up with him I would probably join his crew if he would have me.
"You have the hots for Shanks" I said smiling to the ocean so she couldn't see me.
"Shut up and answer my question"
"Having the gomu ability is Just as it sounds if you grab his hand and pull it would stretch. And if you dropped a big rock on him he wouldn't get crushed." I looked back out to sea. "When I seen him last he couldn't do much with it, but knowing my brother he probably can do much more now with it."
"Wow! I really look forward to meeting your brother" Lily said smiling
"You want to meet him?" I said surprised.
"yes I figured we are going to need supplies for the trip to grand line so when you go ashore if he's still there I want to meet him" she said happily.
"I would really like the" I said smiling at her.
