PLEASE REVIEW!

Luscious pink hair decorated her beautiful fair hairline as the cascaded down evenly to her back where they curled gently and elegantly. Her every movement excluded elegance and beauty, her every action deceivingly gentle. Her grey eyes were smoky and when she smiled, it was as though all the sky smiled with her. Her pink hair greatly contrasted to her fair and flawless skin as her every movement revealed excluded an aura of brilliance and grace. Of course, she was not as pretty as the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, but she was still a great beauty. Her name? Her name was Hina, the self proclaimed Marine Empress, and what you are about to read, is her beloved diary which starts of how she found herself becoming a marine, and then her struggles later in life.

Dear Diary,

Hina is essentially lost. Yes, Hina knows her map-reading is horrible, but she spent three months studying this darn map for Roger s sake! Every line, every curve on this map, she knows it like the back of her hand! So how can it be that I, Hina, can actually be lost in the middle of nowhere?

According to Hina's map, she should be somewhere near a winter island. But she was in the middle of the wide open seas! There was not a single island in sight! Totally frustrated, she crumpled the already-crumpled map and threw it into the boat, burying her head into her palms in sheer frustration.

"I guess it s my turn to look at the map then." A gruff voice was heard. Hina nodded, head still buried in her hands. Five seconds later, the voice had an answer. "Are you retarded, Hina? You were holding the map upside down!" the voice bellowed. Not long later, there was a loud swatting sound and a motherly voice, "Smoker! How could you be so blunt to poor Hina! You re such a jerk!" followed by one more satisfying (to Hina anyway) whack and Smoker's shouting. "Stop it Tashigi! It hurts!STOP! WATCH OUT! The map! It s getting swallowed in the waves!" Hina's head shot up as she, Smoker and Tashigi all crowded around the small boat watching their one and only map sink to the bottom of the sea before it got swallowed up by a massive sea monster. Hina screamed. "Give it back! We need that map! "Hina screeched as she snatched up an oar and started jabbing the unfortunate sea monster with all her strength, "Spit it out!" .

Although Hina s hitting seemed to have little or no effect on the huge, massive dolphin like creature, the combination of Hina s frantic screaming with Smoker s angry curses seemed to catch it s attention. Slowly, it turned around and opened it s mouth wide open. Oh Roger they were all going to die. "Run for your lives!" Tashigi's shriek brought Hina out of her horrified fascination as Taschigi and Smoker each grabbed an oar and started rowing the boat as quickly away from the sea monster as they could.

Hina, left without an oar (Smoker snatched it from her in a bid to calm the seething sea mammal), had nothing else to do but to write in her (empty) diary.

So diary, where was I? Oh yes, Hina is lost, and Hina is not happy about it. But Hina is a city-girl, so it is understandable for Hina to be easily lost. Poor Hina. But how did Hina end up in this horrible situation anyway? When Hina gets back home, Hina will surely complain to that stupid boat company I tell you! So, let Hina tell you exactly what happened.

Hina was on a Five Star Luxury Cruise that was supposed to set sail from Logue Town to the Grand Line and back again. However, Hina was too pretty for the boat. The boat cannot stand in the way of Hina s beauty and so the boat sank. No, Hina is joking. Pirates hijacked the ship. Even though the Five Star Luxury Cruise was said to be equipped with State of the Art fighting devices such as machine guns, artilleries, rifles, pistols and of course, marine officers, the marine officers were the first to run and hide when they saw the pirates. Yes dear diary, Hina is not kidding. The marine officers who were supposed to help save the people ran away first to save themselves. Hina is disgusted. So of course, without the marine officers , we lost the battle (and thus the ship). How can people expect someone like Hina to handle a rifle? I think I successfully impaled someone with a saber though, too bad he was on our side. *sweatdrops* Oh alright, I am a horrible fighter! But like Hina said, Hina has absolutely zero experience in fighting! So, what happened later was that the pirates took over the ship and chased all the civilians (marines included) off the ship into this small dingy boat. (Hina's rambling continues...)

Two hours later

Splash

Hina lifted up her head and frowned. Where did that sound come from?

Splash Splash THUD!

Now, Hina knew that the sound she just heard was NOT normal. Eyes wide awake, she opened her eyes to see a huge towering figure standing over her and blocking out the sun.

Rubbing her sore eyes, she tried to pry her sleepy eyes open to see the person who intruded into her land of sleep. Her eyebrows creased in concentration as she tried to figure out who he was under the bright glare of the sun.

"Men! Bring these three weaklings into the ship at once! Start their marine training when they have recovered! Make sure that they do not interfere with the absolute justice!" the man above her bellowed, nearly blowing her ears off in the process. Wait what, MARINE TRAINING?

"Yes, Sakazuki Sir!" the men from the ship that she did not see before called, before they hopped easily onto the small boat and started rowing the small boat to their larger ship with much ease. Hina s eyes widened as her mind (finally) realized what was being said. "SAKAZUKI?" she screamed, before turning beet red when she realized that everyone was staring at her. "S-sorry," she muttered, her face burning bright red in embarrassment.
