This is my first story! Hooray! Warning! I haven't shown this story to anyone, so this may be boring to read. Please review and let me know if there is anything I can do better or change. I also tried to use the best grammar I know but I'm still in school...

I don't own One Piece. One Piece (c) Eiichiro Oda.

Chapter 1 - Enslaved part 1 - The Beginning of It All

It was nightfall on the Grand Line. The moon was full in the horizon, and it was cold everywhere. You were on the island of Great Forest, an island close to the Red Line, but not too far from Raftel, the island that is said to hold One Piece.

You stopped running to take a short break. You were breathing deeply, and as you pushed your long, black hair that was in front of your face behind your ear, you thought on how you could escape those horrible hunters trying to enslave you along with the other 100 they catch every year.

You heard them coming, and you quickly got up and ran as fast as you could. But you knew you had to do something or they would catch you. You thought quickly, and came up with a plan.

You spun around, and took out your two katana to fight. Two men with guns came at you, and aimed to shoot you, but you sliced their guns out of their hands and cut through their bodies as if they were practicing dummies. Then you ran again, passing trees, until you came to a field.

As you ran up a hill, you could just see something in the distance, but you didn't know what it was. It looked like a swarm of bugs, but then you recognized what it was. It was not a swarm of bugs, but a swarm of enemies. They were coming at you from all sides, and they surrounded you. You had nowhere to go, and you couldn't escape. You were on the edge of panic, and then you were in shock. You felt something touching the side of your head, and you turned to look at what it was. It was a man, and he was pointing a gun at your head.

" I'm afraid you have to come with us," he said with a smile on his face. He knew that his mission was accomplished.

More men walked up to where you were. One took your two katana, and another hand cuffed you with sea-stone cuffs, which you recognized from witnessing arrests of pirates.

Then they led you to a big horse drawn carriage with a big cage where the people usually sit when they ride a carriage. One man opened the door of the cage, and another pushed you in.

After awhile you were traveling back to the city of Great Forest. There the slave catchers would sell you to the owner of the auction house, and they would sell you in the slave auction today, and you would be forced to work for the person that "bought" you. You hated the sound of being sold. It just didn't feel right.

Once the carriage stopped at the city, two men came up to the door of the cage. One unlocked the door to the cage, and the other grabbed your arm and led you out of the cage into a building that had a big sign near the top. It said "MARIENES" in big blue letters.

Once inside the building, you saw a marine at a desk looking at some papers. He looked up once the marines escorting you stopped, and you stopped too.

"Ah, you brought another one. She will make a fine piece for the auction tonight," said the marine at the desk. "Put her…" He looked down at a piece of paper. "Put her in cell 108," he continued.

"Yes sir!" said the other two marines. Then they led you to a stairway that led into a basement.

When you got to the bottom stair, you saw it wasn't a regular basement. The whole place was filled with jail cells. You stood there in awe, at least until once of the guards pushed you to tell you to move.

It felt like the world was in slow motion as you walked to your cell. Other prisoners looked at you as you passed them, but you only looked forward. Once you came to cell 108, one marine unlocked and opened the door while the other one held your arm to make sure you don't escape. The door slowly opened, and then the marines pushed you in the cell, and quickly closed the door and locked it. Then they left you.
