Chapter One - Lonely no more

Kai had fallen asleep against the mast of her little boat out of sheer boredom. She hadn't seen another ship for days and food supplies were running low. As the spray of the sea splatted against her face, she woke up, yawning and stretching. It was then she noticed a flag in the distance depicting a skull wearing a straw hat, which reminded her of a time when she lived with her parents.

------------------

"C'mon, let me try one more time!" Kai whined, "I know I can if I try again."

Shanks laughed and ruffled her hair, "Alright, but this is the last time."

She just grinned, taking a run up before leaping up to grab his straw hat. He blocked with his arms, but Kai used this to swing over the top of his head and grab the hat on her way to the ground.

"See?" she said, still grinning, "I told you I could get your hat!"

He returned the grin, "I knew you could. With a little more practice, you'll make a fine pirate one day."

"I promise I will." she smiled, "I'll be the greatest pirate to sail the seas!"

------------------

Kai snapped back to reality as she heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Hello?" the stranger waved a hand infront of her face, "Anyone in there?"

"Oh, gomenasai!"she looked up. The stranger seemed quite ordinary. Black hair, red vest, blue shorts, straw hat...straw hat?

"So, who're you?" he asked with a cheezy grin.

She stood up, "I'm Kai, soon to be pirate Queen once I've reached the Grand Line and found One Piece."

"Not if I find it first." he said, still grinning.

"I doubt it. I'm the fastest pirate on the sea!" her grin was identical to his, "And besides, I made a promsie that I'd become the greatest pirate to sail the seas."

"Fastest?" he mulled over something for a moment, "Tell you what, how about you join my crew? Then we'll both find One Piece."

Kai thought about this offer for a moment, "Ok, I was getting kinda lonely anyway. So, what's your name?"

"Monkey D. Luffy." he grinned.

"NANI?! THE Monkey D. Luffy woth one hundred million belli?!" she almost gasped, "Now you have to let me join!"
