~ Prologue ~
A five year old girl with bright green eyes and flame red hair stared at the sea with a look of longing. Her relatives had been forced to bring her with them on their spring trip. The ocean, she decided, was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. Her blood sang with want of the sea.

"OI, freak, get back inside girl." She heard her Uncle yell.

She sighed and took one last longing look. 'Freedom, that's what this feeling is, freedom. I will capture that feeling.' She thought determinedly.

A now eight year old looked down at her opponent with a grin. She relaxed her poise and helped the older man up.

He laughed with her, "You truly are a prodigy in armed and unarmed combat, aren't you Flare?" He stated.

Flare Gale Potter nodded excitedly. Her mentor, Justice McClow grinned at her and handed her a thick book. "I think you'll enjoy this book." The title was The Grand Line: A Pirates Tale by Gol D Roger, The Pirate King.

Flare squealed in excitement and hugged her mentor/father figure. Two years ago he had saved her from the Dursleys and taken her in as a student, and saw her as the daughter he could never have. "Where did you get it?" She asked excitedly.

Justice smiled, thinking of his days in the world of pirates. He had fallen through a void and wound up in a world without pirates. "Through the Veil Firecracker."

Flare hugged him and rushed to her room to read. She read about the World of Pirates and the World Government. But what she learned most of was the Grand Line and a treasure called One Piece. It was at this moment that she decided. With a powerful glow of determination in her eyes she spoke clearly, "I am going to be a Pirate!"

As Flare led her 'crew' through the Ministry she was glad she had forced Sirius to remain at Grimmauld. She knew it was a trap but she had set up her own.

Years had passed and she was stronger than even Voldemort with how her father had trained her. With a layer of Armament Haki surrounding her body, spells would slide off or rebound, and Observation Haki was the best considering she had awareness of who was around her at all times.

Her crew consisted of Neville Longbottom, who she had drug out of his shell and forced him to be the brave lion he was and he was their cook, Luna Lovegood, who she loved like a little sister was their navigator, Hermione Granger, who once they broke through her bookworm layer was a skilled shot and could talk Flare out of her insane plans she was there marksman, Fred and George Weasley, who were geniuses of pure talent in traps and had studied with Madame Pomfrey to learn healing for the past five and were obviously her doctors.

And the last was Draco Malfoy, who was Flare's best friend and first mate. He was a skilled swordsman and always strived to be better.

When Flare entered the Veil room her father's voice rang in her head, 'Through the Veil Firecracker, through the Veil.' Along the sides of the watery like Veil were ruins she recognized from her book. She moved closer and heard the shouts of orders and random attacks through it.

She grinned hugely before joining the one-sided fight that they were winning. Hermione was blasting her opponents away with Haki filled shots of her dual pistols, her usually bushy hair braided. Luna was taking out her quarry with well-placed strikes of her staff while Neville hit his enemies with hand to hand deadly strikes. Fred and George were taking out Death Eaters with scalpels and well placed traps. Draco was in a very one sided dual with his father, in his favor.

Flare herself was in combat with Lestrange and had just taken her out when she felt Voldemort arrive. She grinned, now she could finish this. She leapt at him with her dual rapiers and didn't give him a chance to defend himself.

She smirked at him, the image of four men behind her. One was the oldest and had black hair and eyes, another was younger and had red hair and dark green eyes, the last two were teenagers with black hair and eyes, one looked a lot like the first man.

She grinned fully at him and sped towards him, "Two Sword Style: Gale Decapitating Strike." The wind buffeted her back and she struck him, landing in a crunch before straightening and sheaving her swords as Voldemort fell to his knees, his head falling from his shoulders and rolling to stop in front of the minster Fudge.

Flare looked at him in disdain, "You're welcome Minister." She stated before raising her voice to her comrades, who had finished in time to see her fight, "Meet me at the bank" She stated before vanishing.

"Pops! We need to go now!" She shouted, grabbing Justice and dragging him behind her. "Whoa there Firecracker, what's the rush?" He asked. "I found the Veil, I found the way to the Pirate World!" Justice gaped at her.
