Hi! I am here with an OP fic. This is my first serious story so I hope you like it.
disclaimer: I do not own one piece. All rights go to Oda and Toei animation.
Chapter 1
A new start! The wanderer of East blue.
"Celandine!" I turn my head to see the village elder run towards me.
"Are you really going through with this? Becoming a pirate?"
I nod my head,"Of course! I made that promise to myself didn't I? To become the first woman Pirate King?"
The village elder looks at me worryingly,"Of course I do? But becoming a pirate?"
I look straight at him,"I will not back down. I have sworn to myself to become a pirate. I'll gather a crew and turns this world on its head! I won't let anyone scare me, even if I'm just a girl." I then push my row boat away from the harbour with shouts of farewell from my town.

I groan as I lift me head. I'd run out of water yesterday and needed some sort of sustenance soon.
"Just when I was gonna be I pirate, I didn't pack enough water." I grumble.
"Your just a girl, you'll never be a true pirate!"
"You? A girl? Pirate king? Ha, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!"
"You and your crazy dreams! Comes back when you have a serious dream"
I'll show you, I think to my self.
"Cawww," I see a seagull above. It drops something in my lap.
"Leaves, that means lands close," I scan the horizon and see an island that's quite close by.
I begin to row with all my strength and finally reach the island. The harbour master runs over with a few other people and begin to help me dock my tiny boat.
"Thank you. Now, can you tell me were I can find some water?"
The harbour master, a fat, jolly looking fellow, laughs a good hearty laugh,"There's an inn down the road, but if your so thirsty, I'll give you something now," I thank him as he gives me a glass of water. I gulp it down and hand it back as I pick up my things and head to the inn. As I walk there I hear catcalls and wolf whistles but I ignore them, choosing not to listen to ignorant men.
"Hello, can I get a room here?" I ask as I approach the man at the desk. He looks at me briefly before muttering sure and throwing keys at me then demanding 10,000 beli. I pick up my things and walk up to my room. It was quite nice. Spacious with a vanity desk, queen sized bed and wardrobe. It had an ensuite of to the side. I drop my bags on the bed and go to the en suite. I'm about to go to the shower when I catch my reflection in the mirror. Despite my best efforts I still look... Girly. I have long black hair that is kind of spiky and kind of wavy, and brown eyes that reflect the light. I have curves and a big bust that I wish I didn't. I do have lean muscles and can beat everyone and anyone in my village dojo and anyone who has visited. I just wish I didn't look how every other air headed girl wanted to look like. I take my clothes of and go in to the shower.

I notice everyone is jittery for some reason. As I sit inside a cafe I have found, everyone seems scared and rushing like they have someplace to be. And they all avoided my gaze. It's like I'm a criminal. Which I kind of am 'cos I'm a pirate and- Don't get off track! It must be because I'm here. Just then I hear a klaxon go, a loud, obnoxious sound. Everyone then starts cowering with their eyes closed. What the he'll is going on?
I wait a few minutes before I hear someone come down the street. It's a loud of marine soldiers. Why is everyone scared of these people. Sent they supossed to be good?
"Pay your taxes, pay your taxes!" I look in horror as a man, obviously in charge, leers over a women with a baby clutched in her arms,"where your 50,000 beli?" 50,000! Thats 5x more than the inn. "I don't have any! Please! I have no money for me children and- Aghh!" Shes cut short when she is gripped by the throat and she drops her baby... On its head. She sobs and the mantells his soldiers,"Leave her in the dungeon with all the other women... Incompetent enough to not pay up." he laughs and he tosses the gasping, screaming women to the obeying soldiers. I'd seen enough.
"Hey!" I shout as a storm out of the cafe. He looks over angrily, then, too my horror, leeringly. Like any other man I've met.
"Well, Missy, haven't seen you 'round here much."
"Cos I've only just got here," I say voice dripping with venom,"Now, what do you think you were doing."
"That? Just disposing some trash to a better place." He laughs a laugh that sends a shiver down my spine.
"Why? Your a marine aren't you? Shouldn't you be helping these people?"
"Ha! You've got a lot to learn, Miss. Pirates aren't common in East Blue. It's boring here. But you get to have so much fun! These people have to obey you,'cos you're a marine!"
"What! That's sick!"
His expression darkens,"What did you say? If you say that again, don't think I won't kill you just because you're a girl!"
I smirk,"Thanks for the compliment." Before he can react, I run up and punch him. I see ripples of fat wave away from the contact area before he's flies away into a building.
"What the hell was that!" he shouts spitting up blood.
I smirk,"Just the powers of the Nami Nami no mi. I can control any king of wave. Including air waves to back up my punches," I pull out my collapsable Bo staff and extend it,"Shall we fight?"
He didn't stand a chance.
He tried to upper cut my ribs but I blocked with my Bo staff and sent an air wave at him. I didn't even need my power after that. I just beat him up.
I look around at the awed face before hearing a cheer.
"Thank you, thank you!"
I chuckle a bit,"No problem!" I receive compliments after that and tearful thank you's before hearing a fragile voice.
"Excuse me miss?" I look down to see an old man leaning on his cane,"If it's not too much trouble, but could I ask you something? Only my sons town over in the north has been experiencing troubles recently and seeing your strength, could you help them?" I look down at the poor man before answering almost instantly.
"Of course!"
