I'm back with a new story. This one is not happening in the world of One Piece, but in our world.

I know characters may seem OOC, but I don't give a damn about it (sorry for the language).

I will try to upload frequently (which means at least once a week), but if I don't, please forgive me.

Well, enough of me blabbering. On with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, only my OC.

She was sitting upstairs and listened to all of it. For some weeks her parents had been arguing a lot. She couldn't hear exactly about what, but she could hear their angry voices and she could feel the tension, even though she was only 6 years old. It hurt her to hear her parents like this and how they acted around each other. As she heard them nearing the stairs, she ran into her room and lied on her bed. Then her father came in and kissed her forehead lightly.

A few days later her father came into her room. He sat on her bed, while she was painting. He didn't say anything, just watched her. As she had finished she ran over to him and showed it to him. It was full of dark and sad colors, even though she had just got new crayons.

"You seem to be sad, Lutricia," he said as she climbed onto his lab.

"I can hear you arguing," she said in a low and sad voice.

"Your mother and I have some trouble right now," he said, running his fingers through her red hair.

"Is it my fault?" she looked at him with her dark green eyes.

"No my little princess. Mother and I just don't get along anymore. But we still love you," he said.

She hugged him and he sighed. He saw her mother standing in the door, waiting for him to finish, so their precious daughter could get ready for bed. It was the hardest thing he ever had to do and it almost broke his heart, but he knew it was for the best. She might be sad and upset, but she would get through it. After all she was a bright and strong little girl.

"Lutricia. Your mother and I have decided to not live together longer. We are hurting each other, but mostly you. I'm moving out," he said.

She didn't break the hug, but her shoulders started to tremble. "I don't want that," she cried.

"I know princess, but we can't stop arguing, so we have to do so. I won't forget you, and we will see each other again. I promise," he said.

"Where are you going?" she asked, now looking at him.

"I'm going to live in another town. I got a good job and I have some friends there. I won't be alone," he said.

"I don't want you to leave me daddy," she cried and buried her head on his chest.

"Now, now princess. I might not live with you, but I will always think about you," he said.

She cried and held him close. He sighed and embraced her, gently rocking her. Her mother stood there, looking at the heart-breaking scene. A single tear leaving her eye. When she met him 8 years ago, she had thought for sure it was true love and that they would be together for always. As he asked her to marry her, she had been happy, but the day she gave birth to their daughter was the happiest day in her live. Now, 6 years later, the happiness had crumbled and their family was breaking up. But there wasn't any love left. They had tried to find the spark for a year now, but it wasn't there. And lately they had just been arguing. So for their own and Lutricia's sake, it would be better to get a divorce.

She was 10 years old as she first visited her father in his home. He had kept his promise and visited her once a month, but always at her home. Now she was going to spend two whole weeks in his home. Her mother had to go on a business trip. Lutricia was travelling on her own with the train of course with the help of an employee from the train station.

"My little princess," her father smiled.

She spotted him right away. His bright red hair was giving him away. She ran into his arms and he laughed. Then the employee gave her father her bags and they were leaving the train station. He drove through the town, while she looked outside the window. It was a big town and there were so many people around.

"Daddy. There's a park," she said happily.

"I know princess. I thought we could have a picnic there tomorrow if the weather is good," he smiled.

"I would love that," she smiled back.

Happiness turned into tragedy. She was almost 16 years old now. Her mother had falling in love and got married, but on their way back from their honeymoon the plane crashed and no had survived. She lied on her bed in her father's house and cried. She had been with him while they were on their honeymoon.

The funeral was small and in her hometown. Afterwards she packed all her stuff. She was going to live with her father. She looked outside the window feeling empty. Her life was now changing drastic. Just as it had done almost 10 years ago, when her father had left them. He however just moved and she saw him as often as possible. But now … her mother wouldn't be coming back and her stepfather either. She had to leave this life behind.

She was a lonely child. Not many liked her and she only hang out with some other from her class, because her mother had been worried. The only thing she had been doing had been reading and writing. So she wasn't sad to leave town, only sad that her mother wasn't around anymore. One last gaze at her old room, before she walked out, leaving her old life behind.

It's a little short, I know, but it's just like a prologue and the childhood rushed, but I wanted to get to her teen year and not describe too much of her life before she came to live with her father. Later you'll see a little more of her childhood.

Please let me know if you like it.
