Kira's POV
"Hurry up Kira, or we'll be late for college!" Ran shouted from the kitchen.
"Ok, ok, one sec" I shouted back from inside my bathroom. I checked myself in the mirror one last time, a short and messy black haired girl with red eyes looked back at me and with a nod I ran downstairs to meet my childhood best friend Ran. His full name is Kodomo Ranmaru, a blond kid with blue eyes.
"Finally. What took you so long?" he asked as he handed me a piece of toast, witch I guess I'll eat on the way.
"I over slept" I simply replied.
"Again?!" he asked in disbelief and we stepped out of our apartment door as I locked it. We live together, in different rooms of course. We're close, but there is absolutely no romance between us, we know it would just ruin our friendship, and its too important to give up. Its just easier to share the rent, besides our colleges are pretty close by. I'm on a mechanic engineering course as he is on a medic course. According to our tutors we are born geniuses, we are both in our final year and half way through it.
"Where'd you wanna go after college today? It is your 19th after all" Ran smiled at me.
"Hmm, remember that place in town centre, that really cool one, we went to it with mom once" I said remembering it.
"Oh that one? Sure thing" we high fived and turned onto separate roads to our colleges.
My day went pretty peacefully, I got a few 'happy birthday's' every now and then, but nothing major.
As my lessons were over I headed to our meeting place to find Ran already there.
"Yo" he greeted me which I returned. "Lets go birthday girl"
"I'd love it if you don't call me that, you know I don't like being fussed over" I smiled and we left for the restaurant.
After our meal we went to a couple of clubs, Ran was determined to get me drunk and he succeeded, in the end he had to carry me home.
As he put me down on the sofa and locked the door, I rolled over and fell off it.
I moaned in pain as I sobered up a little, and he helped me to sit back onto the sofa and sat by me.
"That was an awesome night. Wow did not know you can move that way" he laughed.
"Was I really that bad?" I pouted at him.
"No the opposite actually" he laughed.
"Then why you laughing?" I said as I laid down an his lap.
"Because my dear friend, you never cease to amuse me" he grinned down at me.
"You know what would be the awesome?" I asked with a big smile.
"Haha, what?"
"It would be the best if we could go to the world of One Piece and become pirates!" I exclaimed happily.
"Haha, of course, that'd be great, why don't you make that your birthday wish?" he suggested.
"But the cake's in the fridge and we're here" I complained, too comfy on his lap to move.
"Nope, it's here" he smirked down at me.
"When did you?" I asked as I sat up on my elbows.
"After I put you down, I though you wouldn't want to get up" he said as he lit the candle on it. "Make your wish Kira"
"I wish…" and I blew out the candle.
Soon after that we fell asleep on the couch with a blanket over us.

Ran's POV
I woke up to a horrible feeling of uneasiness. As I opened my eyes I realised why. I was tied up to a pole at who knows where, and a couple of feet away Kira is in the same position on a different pole. 'What the hell is going on here?' I thought to myself trying to keep calm, but when you wake up somewhere you didn't fall asleep and are tied up along with your best friend, keeping calm is not that easy.
I looked around to try and find some way to escape, but it's a little hard as the room or wherever we are is dimly lit, the only light is coming from the semi opened door. I squinted my eyes to try and see, and I have to say this is one weird room, there are several things hanging off the ceiling, a big books shelf, a desk with books and stuff on it that I cant identify, a chair, an old lady by the door, a table with various tools on it… an old lady?
"So your awake child" she said, more of a statement than a question, as she turned on a light and started to walk towards us.
"Who are you, and where are we?" I asked the witch looking lady, no joke she looked like one, the long dark purple dress and witches hat, long nose and very ugly.
"Your in my house child" she replied, now standing in front of me, looking up as she is a head shorter.
"Why?" I glared down at her.
"Mmmm, One Piece will be mine… huh where am I?" Kira asked waking up and looked at us. "Ran. Eh who's this old hag?" 'Way to be blunt Kira' I thought.
"Watch your mouth you little runt!" the witch shouted hitting her upside the head with a rolled up newspaper. 'Where'd that come from?'
"Ow, that hurt!" Kira shouted back and tried to move but realized we're tied up "Let us go" she glared.
"No" she said turning around arms crossed.
"And why not?" Kira whined. 'They're acting like children' I thought sweat dropping.
"My name is Hirala, and I am the witch of Cursed Island" she stated turning back to us.
"Cool, now let us go, I can't feel my arms" Kira whined again.
"Silence child" Hirala hit her upside the head again.
"What do you want from us?" I asked, drawing her attention away from the tied up idiot.
"I'm just getting to that, geese, young people these days are so inpatient" she said the last part to herself unaware that we heard. "You used the last of the wish stones that is only found on this island, and you wasted it. I needed that to…" she started to mumble incoherent things and sob, depressed in the corner.
"What now?" Kira asked confused.
"Wish stone? Where exactly are we?" I asked. Hirala snapped out of it and faced us again.
"How many times do I have to tell you? In my house, on Cursed Island, in the East Blue" she shouted.
"East Blue?!" Kira and I shouted in disbelief at the very familiar place.
"Wait just a sec, we're in East Blue as in one of the four Blues before the Grand Line?" I asked trying to process this.
"We're in One Piece, my wish worked, I'll become a pirate, we'll find cool nakama and go on awesome adventures~" Kira sang cheerfully.
"Kira, its not the time to be singing now" I growled at her.
"But my wish worked" she said with a huge grin on her face.
"Yes, your wish worked, I don't know how you managed it, but it looks like you travelled from your world to this one curtsey of the wish stone, how did you activate it from there?" Hirala asked Kira glaring.
"I have no clue, I just made my wish over a candle as it was my birthday" she answered, and received a death glare from the witch.
"Do you know how important that stone was? Now I have no way of getting my granddaughter back from those horrible Marines!" she shouted at us.
We looked at each other and Kira smirked 'oh no, she has an idea, that will most likely kill us' I thought with a sweat drop.
"We can help you get her back. If you untie and tell us everything." Kira suggested.
"But they have guns and everything" Hirala said.
"We'll figure something out"
"Ok, fine" with that she untied us and told us the whole story.
Flashback
"Junko dear, don't go too far" Hirala shouted after a little girl with pansy purple hair and pink eyes. The little girl turned around and smiled at her grandmother.
"I'm only going to the library gran, I'll get that book on weather and navigation, return the old ones and I'll be right back" she shouted happily gesturing to the big books in her tiny arms, then ran into the town witch is at the bottom of the hill that their house is on top of.
"Good morning Junko-chan" an old man greeted her as she stepped into the local library and put the books on a nearby table.
"Morning Nero-san" Junko greeted the librarian happily. "Have the new books on weather and navigation come yet?" she asked looking up at him.
"Let me see" the old man said as he stood, picked up the books Junko brought back and walked over to one of the many bookshelves with her following. He put the books back to their rightful place and started looking to the said new ones.
"Here we go, two new books on weather pattern and three on navigation" he said and handed the five books to Junko who happily took them.
"I'll return them next week" the little girl happily said and ran out the door.
"I'm home" Junko cheerfully greeted her gran.
"You find what you were looking for?" Hirala asked from the kitchen.
"Yup" she smiled and went to her room to study them.
'Ah, that girl never changes' Hirala thought as she prepared lunch.
Junko was always interested in the weather ever since she was tiny. When her mother went out to sea to become the navigator of a pirate ship, the little girl wouldn't stop talking about how she wanted to be just like her mother. She studies navigation very eagerly, and has a natural talent for it too, a born genius that girl.
A few months later a pirate ship docked at the bay and Junko was eager to meet them and ask about what life on the sea is like, but Hirala forbid her from going into town until the pirates leave, as she deems then dangerous.
Junko being the curious little girl she is, she sneaked out at night and went to the bar the pirates were drinking at.
"You're the pirate crew that docked here a few days ago right?" Junko asked the huge man that looked like the captain.
"That's right what of it brat?" he glared down at her. Junko unfazed started asking a lot of questions about sailing and managing the ship after she found the navigator.
But he was more interested in a random whore, so to make her go away he shoved a weird apple in her hand and shooed her away.
Junko left disappointed and went home, but quite intrigued by the strange apple, as it was light blue in colour with a silver swirl pattern on it. She went to bed thinking about the strange apple the pirate gave her.
The next morning the pirates left and her gran left her be thinking the danger was over, what she didn't know, and nor did Junko, that she possessed a Devil Fruit.
After breakfast Junko grabbed her latest book on navigation, the strange apple, shoved them in her bag and went to her favourite hiding place, a giant tree a little ways away from their house in the forest. When she got there she climbed up to the highest branch, from where she could see most of their little island, and started reading her book.
Forgetting about time, her stomach rumbling bought her back to reality. Not having bought any food with her except the strange apple she debated weather she should eat that or not. She was really hungry, as it was the early afternoon and the last time she ate was in the morning, plus she wanted to finish reading her book. She looked at the fruit warily, but with a shrug she bit into it. She nearly chocked on it but managed to swallow it. She had never in her life tasted anything so gross, it was seriously horrible. With a frown she threw the gross tasting fruit away and went back to reading.
A few days later, Hirala confronted her a bout disobeying her and going to see those pirates, so they started to argue.
"Shut up! I'm old enough to look after myself!" Junko shouted. But instead of an angry reply there was silence. She stared up at her grandmother with wide eyes as she tried to say something but she couldn't open her mouth.
"Gran? What's wrong?" Junko asked concerned. 'Did I do that?' she asked herself 'But how?'
"Speak" she simply said, and just as if a spell was broken Hirala could speak again.
"What was that?" she asked her.
"Um, I'd love to tell you but I don't know, let me try something" not waiting for a reply Junko made her grandmother do a dance, then a hand stand, but after all that she felt really drained of energy.
"How can you control me like this?" Hirala asked. "maybe it's the power of a Devil Fruit, but that cant be, you never came in contact with one" she mused.
"What are Devil Fruits" the little girl asked curious.
"Devil Fruits are …" as she explains what it is and its drawbacks, Junko gets a sickly taste in the back of her throat as she realises it was a Devil Fruit she ate.
"Um, I think this is it, the blue apple with swirls on it that I ate a couple of days ago" Junko said uneasy.
"And where did you get if from, may I ask" the witch asked in a sinister voice.
"Um, that pirate crew's navigator gave it to me" she said looking at her feet.
"What did I say about accepting stuff from strangers?"
"But he wasn't a stranger, I've been talking to him for half an hour" she said as an excuse.
"I seriously doubt your logic sometime, you may be a smart kid but are an idiot sometimes. Having talked to someone for half an hour doesn't make them any less of a stranger. Now lets go find out which Devil Fruit you ate. Your lucky I have a book with most types in it." Hirala said as they went into her room.
"Ok, so you say it was a blue apple?" she asked flipping through the pages.
"Yup, with silver swirls" Junko confirmed.
"This one?"
"Yes that's the one. Heh? it's a Paramecia, and it's called the Control-Control Fruit, it grants the eater the ability to control all living and inanimate beings with just a word or a thought" she read out loud what the book said.
"That is a very powerful fruit indeed. Junko dear, listen, you cannot tell anyone about this, or use it in public, do you understand?" Hirala asked in a serious tone.
"But why?" she asked confused.
"Because people are tend to be afraid of Fruit users and with one as powerful as yours they might even go as far as attacking you."
With that warning Junko promised to keep it a secret and only practised at home with Hirala.
A month later as Junko was in town to return another book, she noticed that there were more Marines than usual.
"What's going on?" she asked the old man Nero.
"A noble is here so they are there to make sure everything goes as planned" he said looking out the window at a Marine soldier.
"I don't get what all the big fuss is about, they're just as human as we are" Junko pouted.
"You better keep that opinion to yourself Junko-chan, it will get you in big trouble. Oh, here, I almost forgot, I had a new book come in yesterday" Nero said handing her a book on thunder storms.
"Thanks Nero-san" she smiled and left.
On her way home she saw the noble. Dressed up in fancy expensive clothes with a lot of jewellery on and surrounded by bodyguards and Marines. "Che" Junko frowned at the sight, but just as she was about to turn away, a little boy, no more than five, ran into him by accident getting ice crème over the noble's suit trousers. He looked really mad as the little boy looked up at him terrified and backed away, but tripped on a rock and fell on his but. The noble pulled out a gun, as his men tried to convince him that the boy was not worth wasting his bullet on, he didn't listen but aimed his gun at the poor shivering kid.
"No, don't shoot!" Junko shouted as she ran and stood over the little kid protectively.
"What's the meaning of this? Why cant I move my arm? What did you do to me witch?" the noble demanded.
Junko just glared back at him as the kid ran away crying. She released his arm and he dropped the gun.
"Arrest her, and torture her until she begs for death!" the noble ordered his men and they did as told.
The Marines tried to carry out the orders but Junko stopped them from touching her, and made them turn on each other instead.
"You're a devil fruit user I see" the commander of the marines came into her cell, and she instantly stood up.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to harm you" he said.
"Then what do you want?" she asked.
"Let me make you a deal" he said with an evil smirk. For lack of reply he continued. "Your grandmother, is this island's witch" he started as she glared at him "I will leave her alone, if you agree to help me control some men, but if you refuse I'll give the order to kill her. What do you say?"
"Do I even have a choice?" she asked in a dark tone giving him death glares.
"No you don't" he said in a sinister voice.
After she agreed, she was forced to live with the commander on the other side of the island, near the Marine Base.
She has been forced to work under him for a year now, and with the threat of her grandmother's life she is not able to escape.
End of flashback
Kira's POV
"That sun of a bitch" I said pissed off, after hearing the story.
"So what's your plan Kira? Clearly you want to beat that guy to a bloody pulp, and I don't blame you, but he has a whole fleet of Marines backing him up including Junko, who he will most than likely send against us" Ran asked, stating facts.
"True, but we can just knock Junko out, and deal with the Marines after that" I said 'Those bastards will pay' I thought.
"But you wont be able to beat them how you are now" Hirala said concerned.
"Who said?" I asked annoyed. Geese, if she asked us to save her granddaughter the least she could do is believe in us, but its true, we're up against guns, and I don't think we are bullet-proof.
"I have something for you guys though" she said and we looked at her with interest. "I'm a witch so I can grant you power but you have to give something up in exchange" she explained as we went back to the room we woke up in. Somehow this place gives me the chills.
"Kira, you will have to give up the ability to swim and the ability to make your mechanic things that you design" I nodded, it's a big price but if we want to stay alive in this world we have to make these sacrifices. "Ranmaru, you will have to give up all your medical ability and knowledge" Ran nodded as well and the witch granted our new powers.
