The start of everything

I felt the wind and the ocean spray against my face as I breathed out slowly.

I looked at the raven haired boy who had been staring in Luffy's direction for awhile now as we set off on our new adventure.

"Ace." I said lightly, trying to get his attention.

He turned towards me. "Ya?"

I smiled gently "He'll be fine. Your staring is starting to worry me." I said.

I pouted and held my hands close to my heart. "Oh Luffy, I miss you so much. I'm just a big giant baby on the inside. I can't last a minute without worrying about you." Afterwards, I was in a fit of giggles.

Ace suddenly hit me on the side of my arm as I burst into fits of laughter. I rubbed my arm and continued to laugh. i laugh at pain. "What was that for?" i asked. Most people Ace never hit. Including Luffy, but apparently I'm the one he'd make an acceptation for.

Ya That's because you're Jasmine. Shut up, go away. I thought.

You see, I have a cursed necklace that holds 2 powerful being's. One is dormant, while the other talks to me inside my head. If I explain it anymore I'd have to remember bad memories of my past.

Ace smiled at me as he went to his zebra stripped sack. He pulled out an apple and tossed it to me. "You know how Luffy is. He's probably in trouble or in some sort of problem already." Ace explained, trying to convince me that his worrying was justifiable.

I thought over his words. It's true that he had an act for getting in to bad situations but then again we all do.

"Ace, calm down. If you worry you'll get sick and I don't need my dumb ass captain getting sick before we officially become pirates." I said, grinning.

I smiled at his 'Ill kill you' face. He sighed and sat down as he took a bite out of his apple. I looked out at the blue, wide ocean, turning the apple in my hand.

"Ace?" I asked. He looked at me, his apple half gone.

" What is it?" He asked, as his eyebrows furrowed.

"Oh! Umm.." I was at a loss for words. He looked so concerned, I didn't mean to do that.

ya. ya did

"I miss him too." I replied as I laughed with a big smile on my face (Ignoring the little voice in my head.)

I then, took a bite out of my apple. Sadly, the truth is I do miss Luffy even though I felt like I shouldn't. I met Ace and Luffy shortly after their brother Sabo had died. Back then there wasn't enough time to form a bond with them like they did with Sabo .

Maybe it was? Ace and Luffy sure acted like it.

Ya, that's because you've have been with them for a long time. Quit being dumb.

I shook 'those' thoughts out of my head.

Ace just smiled and held out his hand in a fist and I held out mine as we did a fist bump. I didn't like people getting to close to me so that was his form of a hug. I laid my head back on his bag because for some reason mine was currently being used as a cushion. I wonder why he took it. And what horrible thing I could do to him later.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

TIME SKIP Some where before the new world ( SO THERES TIME SIKPS HAHAHA)

Jasmine's pov.

The crew didn't exactly cheer when Ace told them they were going to go and 'speak' to Red Haired. In fact, they were all against it and so was I. But, I wasn't going to worry about it.

Ya lies...So what? I can trick myself if I want too. Ya that's called being delusional.

Oh well, I thought as I sat back against the mast and looked up at our flag. We're the Spade Pirates. I smiled as the name just kept running in my head over and over again and each time I smiled bigger.

I am now the first mate to Ace. (It's not what it sounds like i am his first mate as in the pirate way.)

I felt my double sided twin blades poke my back and since we set off months ago Ace and I, have the highest due bounties right now (His being higher of course but only by a little), earning us the title of "Super rookies." What was so super about being a rookie? I don't know.

The funny thing is, I have no idea why mine is almost as high as his. All I did was..Well, I did a lot of things that would make a grown man cringe, but I've forgotten most.

I also learned over these few months that I like throwing knives and swords so Ace found me a guy who made me two specially made swords that come together to form a double sided sword staff. I don't know the real name unfortunately nor do I care to search for the sword staff's real name. I like my sword cause there really effective.

I see everyone walk off the ship in each other's arms as if they won't get blown off by this god damn cold wind. Another thing about me, I hate the cold.

Which is ironic cause I am always cold thanks to someone or two someone's…Ya that would have nothing to do with me would it?

Ace must have seen me literally shaking against the mast because he quietly came up behind me and yelled in my ear. "Get off the damn ship. We'll be back." I stared at him, my face impassive.

"One, I don't like the cold. Two, I rather hear the not so fun stories when you get back and three, you yell in my ear again and I will kick you so hard where the sun don't shine." I grinned big, probably scaring a whole bunch of guys as my aura grew dark behind me. He quickly ran away from me and off the ship. I followed behind him, laughing evilly.

You're are a horrible person Jasmine ya… Yes, I know this. It's also your fault so shut up.

I reluctantly walked behind Ace as we set off from our ship and further in to this snowy hell.

As we walked in this stupid fucking snow covered hill. I felt my feet getting wet. My snow boots weren't working apparently. I sighed softly as I crossed my arms over my chest and put my head down.

"Wh-y-y is it s-s-o cold?" I asked, stuttering as I bit my lip and trudged on. Ace, the captain, looked back at me.

"What? You don't like it here." He says sticking out his lip as if to tease me. I shake my head. Of course I would get that from him, he's was always looking for something to pick on me with and me being dumb just gave it to him.

Well, you don't see me arguing that ya.. Wow, okay..

I sighed in defeat. "Yes, I don't like when it's cold so the sooner we see red haired, the sooner we leave this place. How do you even know Shanks wont kill us? He may like Luffy but we're still enemies."

Ace is always stubborn. He's more stubborn if he thinks that he can just walk in, say thank you and leave.

"I have to thank him, Jaz. This is the man who saved Luffy." Ace stated holding his hat closer to his face. I frowned, slightly.

"Couldn't we just send him a note or something? Maybe some candy that I would most likely eat." I asked. Ace barely glanced back. I saw a small smile as he turned back and trudged in silence.

"No then." I sighed as I continued to follow from behind him. I looked around to the men were still trying to persuade their captain. I looked back and told them sternly "Don't waste your breath. You'll need it when..." I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks as I looked up to see a giant cave with a red orange glow coming from within, it looked dangerous and dark like it was ready to gobble us up. So that could only mean one thing.

We were here. Ya No shit, Sherlock..?

I ignored it in my head and followed behind Ace, trying to not look as scared as I was inside. "Alright. Ace are you sure?" I asked him once more time before we entered the cave.

"Jasmine, I have to see him. Red Haired Shanks." He nodded and we walked in.

As we entered the party, everyone seem to drop dead. The musicians had strummed one last note and you could hear a pin drop with this much tension. I could smell the sake from here. "Oi! What are you doing here?"

I walked in, pulling my hood down as I crossed my arms and stopped behind Ace.

I saw a bunch of stares as half smiled at me putting my head down (I only did this because I was cold, but to also look badass.)

Ace stepped up and took off his hat as he bowed.

"Hello, I'm Portgas D. Ace captain of the Spade Pirates." Ace announced cheerfully. I relaxed suddenly from behind him, still looking down at the floor.

"Spade Pirates…?" I heard Shanks murmur.

Oh no, where is this leading? You might want to get ready for battle. Who knows what's bound to happen ya.

I shook my head slightly and tried to stay calm.

"..The Infamous Super Rookie came to say "Hello." to me?" Shanks asked, gripping his sword. I instantly tensed up and reached back, ready to jump at the moment's notice.

Ace sent a look at me. Shanks saw, this and sent a look to Ben causing Ben to also get tense.

Ace slowly put his hands to his sides "It's not what you're thinking."

"It's what I'm thinking.." I mumbled to myself.

"My brother was always talking about you as his lifesaver so I came to say thank you." Ace explained, earning a smile from everyone but Beckman and myself. Beckman's eyes were still looking at me.

He was waiting for me to put my hand down before he put down his. Well, bad news for him I wasn't going to be the first to back down.

"Jasmine." Ace said lightly. I noticed that everyone was now staring at me.

Well you're cornered now aren't ya?

I grunted and put my hand down as it slowly became a fist and then let go, back and forth.

"Your Luffy's brother? I didn't know that he had a brother." Exclaimed Shanks, ignoring what just happened.

I saw a bead of sweat come from Ace's head and I smiled to myself. "That asshole was nervous. I knew it." I silently laughed to myself.

"Great, I'm glad to meet you!" Exclaimed Shanks. He leaned forward as if to get closer.

"Tell me all about yourself." He stated smiling.

I sighed and mumbled "I swear, he's just like Luffy."

"Let's have a banquet!" He yelled his voice booming through the walls, causing my ears to hurt.

Ok, so something small you should know due to the little Asshole's (What I call a friend whatever, I will change what I call them.) in my head I have the following:

1) Really good sense's

2) Killer migraines

3) Three ideas in my head at a time… Well, right now two. mine and a companion's. the third that's yet to be heard.

Lets keep it that way alright?Yeah, of course.. Just me and you alone ya.~ (insert perverted smile) Nope, you're being ignored.

Ace held out his hand and motioned for me to sit as everyone got drinks and Sake and the others beverage and food that I will not eat or drink before Ace does just in case it's poisoned.

Yeah, always make your captain go first ya.

"Alright, Ace you've said thank you. Can we go now?" I asked in front of Shanks, not wanting to sit down.

"Jasmine, don't be rude now. Sit down and try to enjoy yourself?" Ace said or asked? It was funny because the last part sounded like a question more than a command.

"Meh, do I have to?" I asked while sticking out my tongue.

Ace grabbed my hand and yanked me down.

"Yes! You do." He smiled. I grunted as I hit the floor.

"damn…" was all I said. I propped my left knee up and crossed my right underneath, leaning on the left.

I looked around as Ace and Shank's started talking. I saw a lot of guys just mingling and having fun letting their guard down. I still wasn't going to let mine down though.

"So Ace, tell me how did you two meet?" asked Shanks. I looked over at him, giving him a confused look.

Why would he want to know ya?
I don't know, how about you ask him yourself? Oh wait, you can't. (I literally thought it could but I'm wrong) I'll ask him later then.

Ace smiled. "She washed up on shore and Luffy liked her so we had no choice but to keep her." I tilted my head and blew air out of my mouth.

"You're talking about me like I'm some wounded puppy that you found on your doorstep! what the hell?" I asked. Ace laughed.

"I didn't mean it like that. You could have told him yourself if you wanted to." He replied.

I thought about it and then sighed "You're right, sorry." He nudged my shoulder with his arm, causing me to feel increasingly warm and flustered. Shanks looked at me smiling.

"Well then how did you get stuck with two goofs such as those guys?" he asked, pointing at Ace, I smiled wide.

"That's about it, Luffy wouldn't let me leave and Ace wanted me to leave so I figured might as well stay and make one happy and torture the other."

I explained as Ace rolled his eyes. We both remembered the little girl with purple, wavy hair who tried multiple times to fight Ace and Luffy. I would have won most the time if I hadn't lost so much.

Shank's and his friends laughed. "That sounds like a good reason then!" As he burst out laughing all over again, I don't know what was so funny but I couldn't help but smile as they laughed.

But then, as if some force was saying ' ha ha ha Screw you,.' A cool breeze came in and wrapped around me, shaking me to the core. In that moment, I stopped smiling all together and wrapped my arms around myself.

"Damn it, it's too cold. Why couldn't y'all have chosen a tropical island or something." I asked to myself.

Ace shook his head and held out his arms and said, smiling. "Come here."

I thought about this normally. I wouldn't not have come close to him because I don't like touching people but in the end he was Ace. Hell, I've slept with him before.

YOU'VE SLEPT WITH ACE?!Umm, yes. We were kids. Granted, I was 13 but still.. Ya, that shouldn't be happening. Oh well, screw you too!I thought angrily.

I moved over so I leaned in to him ignoring the stares and small little smiles I got from everyone else. It's not like anything would happen. He was Ace, just Ace. Nothing more, nothing less.

"I have a question for you, Jasmine." Shanks asked. I smiled slightly at him, giving an" I dare you to." smile and picked my head up off of Ace's shoulder which was really hot.

(Only one way as in he is fire)

"What?" I asked my monotone voice startled Ace and a few men causing them to look towards me.

"It's uncommon for female pirates to have such high bounties so I was wondering..."

I cut him off. "How I got my Bounty so high?" I smiled.

Ace frowned and shook his head. "Don't ask her that please. Anything but that". I grinned at his discomfort.

Glad to know my job is being done.Your a bitch ya…So?

"Well." I said moving away from Ace. "A Marine captain made a mistake of calling me Ace's whore and a few other choice words, so I being the wonderful person I am. I relieved him of some..Well, umm..choice things a man needs to kept himself happy." I smiled devilish as I saw realization hit their faces they all groaned and moved their hands. I continued.

"After the crew saw what I did to their captain, they got a little pissed."

I heard an " You think..?" from some of the others.

I continued "And tried to fight me and so they faced the same fate as their Captain. Also, apparently Sea kings like those things." I smiled and stuck my tongue out just a little bit. Ace sweat dropped and said "I told you not to ask."

To be honest, there was more than that to it. I just wanted tell them that part to see there discomfort, am i proud? Meh, not really. Do I care? Nope.

Yasop's eyes got big and his teeth got sharp as he yelled "YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO A MAN. HIS JEWELS ARE HIS PRIDE AND JOY."

Am I the only one who wonders why they do that? I mean, come on. Oh well, continue

"meh they weren't really…."I was cut of when I felt a thud to my head and started rubbing it. "What the fuck! Ace, they asked!" I shouted.

His hand went back to his side. He was uncomfortable, you could tell that much. "To much info Jaz." He stated calmly.

I rolled my eyes and rubbed my arms again. Why is it so cold? I heard Shanks's laughter and smiled lightly. Beckman said "Ace, I wouldn't make her mad if I were you." Ace blushed and his eyes got big as he yelled "Were not a couple." I tilted my head and laughed along with the red haired group.

"You know, Ace if you hadn't have had any idea of that happening then you wouldn't have said anything cause I don't think that's what he meant."

Ace just stared at me "Now you use logic?" he asked me. I smiled and rubbed my arms again.

"I always use logic even if you don't understand." I could see the heat radiate off him and smiled. Hey at least it wasn't cold anymore. Then it was time to run.

The rest of the night was just fun I watched the other men as they drank and drank. Ace passed out eating and scared the hell out of Shanks and the others. I stayed by the fire and laid my head back. I wasn't going to let myself sleep.

Not while there were still men drinking I, myself hadn't touched a bottle of sake in case I need to keep an eye out for someone too drunk. I stayed close to the entrance as well just in case I needed a quick escape. We are pirates after all.

I looked at the cave's entrance. It was a perfect hole. It was a cave after all.

Yeah, dumb ass . It's a cave . It's going look like a cave. Don't call me a dumb ass .I'm trying to focus on dumb men. Ya, no. Dumb, drunk men. You don't like that do you?

Shut up!

Anyway, I can handle Ace which is just dumb. I don't know about dumb, drunk men. But, oh well. To be honest, Ace has his moments.

Ya. Wait? Did you just say that?No, I didn't. Shut up.

"Oi Jasmine?" i heard Shanks call over to me. i looked over at him.

"What?" i asked i wasn't about to go nice on him just because my captain was asleep.

"what is your dream?" he asked. that shocked me. i looked up at the ceiling and smiled softly "That's simple. my dream is to be Free." i said that simply and that was it Shanks gave me nod of approval and i looked back towards the cave opening. i wanted the night to hurry up and end. not because it was bad but just because i wanted it to end.

but Jasmine our days are viable and few in numbers saver them ya...

TBC..
