A/N: Okay, first of all I must thank you for clicking on this fic of mine and (hopefully) reading it.

If you're wondering what this is, it is about a girl named Yumi and her background with pirates. The reason I did this fic, was because I felt that I needed to explain her story more than I did in The Curse of the Oceans Sea.

So, here goes nothing...

Chapter One

It was like any other day on the Thousand sunny, Each Mugiwara no Kaizoku was being their typical selves and doing their typical things. But it all started when Usopp spotted a small rowboat as he was fishing to add to the collection in the aquarium.

"Oi, Chopper! Come here!" he called as they approached the rowboat.

Chopper rushed over, only to see a girl, lying there unconscious. She had cuts and bruises all over her body, but had a large gash on her side and forehead. He ran over to let down the anchor and quickly ran back. "Everyone, come here!" he yelled.

"Hey, get out on front deck," repeated Zoro into the intercom.

Everyone, absentmindedly gazed down at the tiny object that rocked back and forth as the waves moved.

"Hurry! Bring up on deck! She has fatal wounds that need to be treated immediately!" anxiously yelled Chopper.

Sanji swiftly jumped from the deck onto the small boat below, making sure that it didn't tip over. He gently picked her up, being very cautions, and climbed back up to the Thousand Sunny.

"Now, bring her to the sick bay!" Chopper was frantic, but at the same time, excited to have a patient.

"Hey, wait... she dropped this," said Nami as everyone else followed Chopper. She stood there, looking at the locket that had fallen out of the girl's clutched hand. She let out a sigh and put it in her pocket, then followed her nakama into the sick bay.

One by one, each Mugiwara no kaizoku left the sick bay, leaving Chopper being to tend to the girl.

After a few hours time, Chopper finally cam out. "I'm done," he sighed in relief. "She's still asleep, and she'll probably be like that for a while."

"Now, with that said, LET'S EAT!!!!!!!!!" exclaimed Luffy

"I guess that's my cue to start cooking."

when dinner came, it was as crazy as usual. Luffy was constantly reaching across the table, trying to take other peoples food, while occasionally getting his hand hit with a fork, or a kick from under the table.

But through all the chaos that happened earlier in the day, night still came, and the whole ship slowly became quiet, looking ahead to the next day

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

The next morning, the Mugiwara no Kaizoku had a discussion on what to do with the girl, over breakfast. In the end, they voted Nami to talk to her.

Nami walked into the sick bay, thinking of every word that she was going to say. She opened the door, only to see the girl, sitting on the bed, staring at the wall ahead.

"Hi, my name's Nami, what's yours?" she asked, sitting in the chair at the desk.

"M-my name's Yumi," she replied, quiet and slow.

"So..." Nami tried to think of various things to asked her, but one question kept popping into her head; so she decided to ask it. "so, what were you doing on that boat?" she finally asked.

"That's none of you business!" Her reply was very quick, and almost immediate.

"Okay, okay. Geez, what's your problem?" Nami was very surprised by her anger-filled question.

"...All pirates are the same. They do horrible things to get treasure. They'll go to such extremes as to destroy villages and innocent people. They even betray their own nakama for their lives." There was a great tensity in the room.

"Well, not all pirates are like that. Our crew is different. We fight for our naka-"

"I know you think the same. You hate pirates. Don't Try to deny it, it's oblivious." She tried to act as if she knew everything, and every reason.

"You shouldn't say things without thinking them through. If I hate pirates, then why am I one?"

"I said, don't try to deny it; and that means, don't try and cover it up, You should think before you say things."

"Okay, I don't know what's with you, but don't think that you should hate pirates because they ruined your life. You know, you're the only one who's life has been ruined, by pirates. Don't think that you're the only one who lived a hard life."

"This coming from a pirate? Ha! I bet you've lived a perfect life; so you aren't the one to speak."

"Don't just assume things... My mother... actually, my step-mother. She was... a victim to pirates. She was shot, right in front of my eyes. Shot.. by the Fishman pirates..." Nami stared straight at the floor as she spoke.

A silence fell upon the room. Not a word escaped either of their lips. They did nothing; nothing but sit there. It was the kind of silence where no one knew what to say.

Nami stood up and headed towards the door. She turned around before leaving the room, and tossed Yumi her locket. "Here, you dropped this."

She left the room without any further words, and without any glances black.

"Hey Nami," said Usopp, "did she say anything?"

"Her name's Yumi."

"Anything else?"

"N-no."

A/N: Does that seem familiar to anyone? Well, if it does, that's probably because it's the same thing as the first chapter of my fic: The Curse of the Oceans Sea, except with some edits and modifications. But I must tell you, this fic WILL NOT be the same thing. I just needed this (and the second) chapter to introduce it.
