Title: She's My Friend, Not A Freak

Summary: Sabrina was only a little child when a raging storm carried her throughout the sea. Luckily, Shank's ship was heading towards Windmill Village

and Shanks was able to save her. The children of the island treat her like a complete outcast. But will Luffy and his big brother Ace treat her different?

I got this idea after reading a story that Colhan wrote. I'm sure you'll figure out witch one i mean.

The Terrible Storm

The sea was a dark color. A mix of green and gray. It was violently tossing about any ship that dared sail it. Shanks was no acception. He and his crew had great trouble

trying to secure the ship.

"Cap'n! Get down below with the others where it's safe!" Ben Beckman called out from a doorway.

Rain poured down very hard as the sea continued to rage through the night.

"I have to secure the ship! You go down below! I'll be right there!" Shanks called back.

Sometimes Ben Beckman was a little worried and puzzled about how his captain acted, but he know that Shanks knew what he was doing. So Ben rarely questioned Shank's ways.

Beckman went back down below into the cabin and closed the door behind him.

"Just one last thing to do before I go into the cabin!" Shanks said to himself.

He firmly put his right foot onto the mast of the ship, and pulled on a string. The sails collapsed onto the ship's deck in a wet soggy heap. Shanks knew that if he kept

the sails up, the strong winds would have a greater chance of knocking the ship into the water. So he took them down.

"Ok now to get into the cabin where it's safe!"

Shanks was just about to rush to the cabin, but when he was in the doorway, his eyes caught a glimpse of something being tossed about in the water. He turned around, still

in the doorway, so he could get a better look.

"Crickey!" he said.

What he saw wasn't something he thought we would've seen. What he could make out, which wasn't that much, was a little girl being tossed about violently in the ravaging

ocean. There was only one thing that went through his mind. To save that little girl.

"Don't worry child. I'll save you!" yelled Shanks.

He ran from the cabin's doorway and to the side of the ship. Lucky Rox and Ben Beckman heard their captain's shouts and ran on deck.

"Cap'n! Don't go into the water!" they both yelled.

But Shanks didn't listen to his two mates. He took off his hat and it blew over to his crew mates. Ben caught it and held it. Shanks jumped into the stormy water. It took almost all of his

strength to control where he was going. Shanks kept a look out for the little girl that he saw in the water. In a strong swipe of water, she went right past him. Luckily, Shanks

grabbed her arm before the water carried her away. Shanks swam with all his might to the surface.

"Gasp!"

He gasped her breath once he got there. The little girl's long white hair clung to her neck and right above her ankles because of the water. She wasn't awake. She was unconscious.

"Beckman! Throw down a rope!" Shanks yelled over the thunder.

Ben listened to his captain and lowered a rope into the water. Shanks grabbed onto it. Ben and Rox pulled their captain up onto the deck of the ship.

"Captain! What were you thinking! You could have lost your life out there!" Rox shouted.

Shanks held the girl close to him with one arm.

"I was about to go into the cabin. But I saw this girl in the water. I had to save her I couldn't just leave her in there to die!" he replied.

Rox and Ben both looked at the young girl.

"Do you think she's ok?" Rox asked.

"I don't know! We have to bring her down to the cabin and help her!" Shanks answered.

Rox and Ben helped their captain get up. He was still holding the small child close to him. The three of them rushed into the cabin. Shanks closed the door behind him with the hand

that he wasn't holding the child with.
