Right the first chap of my long awaited One Piece story. Please let me know what you think of it. ENJOY!
Chapter One – Fushigi Onna no ko
She woke up in a small room. There was a wardrobe in one corner and door next to it which was open showing a small bathroom with a toilet and a sink. The room was plan and made of wood and the bed she was lying in was warm and comfortable and a nice white colour.
But she didn't recognise any of it.
She got up off the bed and found herself wearing an orange skirt and a white shirt with blue strips (Nami has given her some of her old clothes). She didn't like the skirt as she thought it was too short so she looked in the wardrobe. However almost everything in there was a skirt or a short top. So she gave up and went outside.
She found herself in a corridor with about 6 doors, three on each side. She picked the door two doors down on her left. She emerged in a very untidy room with plates all over the floor as well as clothes. She climbed over the rubbish being sure not to step on anything with her bare feet; she hadn't put on shoes because the wardrobe back in the room she had just left only had heels and she didn't like them either. She eventually got to the wardrobe and found a few clothes hanging up and amongst them she picked out some sort blue jeans that only covered her knees.
She looked over the messy floor and decided the easiest way out was after she tidied it up a bit.
10 minutes later
She looked over the room once more and was pleased with it. The bones and crumbs of food where in a small bin that was by the side of the bed, the plates were stacked in a corner of the room after she had washed them in the bathroom and the clothes were all back in the wardrobe hanging up nicely except for the jeans she was wearing. She picked up the skirt and went back to the first room and put it in the wardrobe.
She went back into the hallway and thought about where to go next and she realised she hadn't been outside yet. So she followed the light coming from the left, past the room that she had just tidied and came to the end of the corridor. She looked around and found that further down on her right seemed to be the exit. So she followed the second part of the corridor and stepped outside. She looked around. She was over-looking the deck of a ship which was made from grass. There was a huge mast just to her right and some stairs right in front of her leading to the deck. She followed them down and saw that opposite the mast was another door with two trees on either side, one of which had a swing. She moved to sit down on the swing noticing that there was another floor above the door with stair leading up to it on either side of the two trees. As she turned to sit down on the swing she saw that the mast had a small bench around it and that the room she had entered had been at the front of the ship with more stairs next to it leading up to the prow. The sea was rocking the boat gently and the sky was a clear blue with a few clouds scattered about.
She sat down on the swing and took another look around. The mast had a huge sail and what looked to her like a mushroom at the top. Above that was a small flag with a skull and crossbones on it, she noticed that the skull had a straw hat on it. She looked down at the grassy floor and noticed that her lap was a bit wet. She moved her hand from the rope of the swing to her face and noticed she was crying.
She didn't recognize any of it. Not the ship, the sea, the sky, or the flag.
She held her head in her hands and cried. Why? Why couldn't she remember anything?
"Why?" she said out loud, and cried some more as she didn't even recognize the sound of her own voice.
She raised her head suddenly as she felt a hand on her back. She jumped off the swing and backed away to the mast never taking her eyes off the boy. He had black eyes and hair, a scar underneath his left eye and was wearing blue jeans that went up to just above his knees, a red top and a straw hat.
She looked at him, but she didn't know him, or did she, she didn't know.
"Who are you?" she asked him in a voice that sounded as if it hadn't been used in a while, "Where am I? Please do you know who... who I am?"
The boy stared at her for a bit and moved forward towards her. He stopped a few feet away and smiled. "I'm Luffy, we're on my ship Thousand Sunny and I've only just met you." He answered.
"I see" she said her legs collapsing from under her as she knelt down on the grass. She looked down and couldn't help but cry some more. "Oi," said the boy as he moved closer and crouched down "Don't cry."
She looked up at the boy again, he smiled at her and she blushed slightly. He was being nice to her even though he didn't know her. She wiped away her tears and nodded at him. His smiled widened and he asked her "So you don't know who you are?" She shook her head. "Don't worry our doctor will know what to do. OI CHOPPER!" he called.
A small animal walking on two legs appeared out of the corner of her eye. She turned to look at him. He was defiantly some kind of animal, as he had brown fur and two horns sticking out of its head in-between a pink hat with a white cross on it, it was also wearing dark pink shorts. It had a small blue nose and its eyes were brown and they were looking at her with suspicion as it came closer to her.
She said the first thing that was on her mind, "Kawaii". The animal stopped as a small blush came to its face. "Even if you say I'm cute I won't be happy Kono yaro." It said with a grin on its face as it danced slightly.
The boy, Luffy, laughed at this and she giggled slightly at the sight before her. After they had stopped the animal, Chopper, took her hand and tried to drag her along. "Huh?" was all she could say as she was confused and she didn't even stand up causing her to fall on her face in the grass. Luffy laughed some more before standing up and helping her up "Your funny. I like you." He said with a grin on his face. She blushed some more and wasn't sure if she should thank him or not. Chopper took her hand again and said to her "I'm going to take you to my room so I can give you a check up." She nodded at this and followed him up the stairs that were next to the tree with the swing.
She looked up and saw more people standing on the balcony on the above floor looking at her. Closest to her was a girl with red hair who seemed to be sizing her up, next to her was a boy with a long noise who seemed to be unable to look at her and had a small blush on his face, she wondered why for a second before moving on. (Hehe we know why) Next to him was an older boy with green hair and three katana on his belt he was given her a similar look to the one the red haired girl was giving her but it was much more threatening. Then was another girl with longish black hair and blue eyes, she noticed that she was looking and smiled at her. She seemed friendlier than the others; at least she thought so until she saw the boy next to her. He was tall with blond hair and she couldn't see what colour is eyes were because they seemed to be made of hearts.
She was grateful when Chopper didn't turn to meet them but kept going forward past the small building on the top on the stairs and to the back of the ship where she saw another mushroom house which was much bigger than the one on the mast. He led her inside the small building on the top of the stairs and she found herself in a small doctor's office.
Chopper led her to the chair next to the bed and she sat down. Chopper went over to his desk in front of her and looked through his equipment. As he began his check up she noticed movement thought the window showing what appeared to be a dining room. All the people she had just seen had sat down on the table and seemed to be discussing something but she couldn't hear what.
She focused back on Chopper who had finished examining her and was writing notes at his desk occasionally looking though a book. She was about to ask him if he could help when the door to the dining room burst open and Luffy appeared. "Hey Chopper is everything ok?" He asked the doctor. "Hmm, I need a bit more time to research." He replied. She was going to try asking him again if he had any ideas yet but there was a strange growl stopping her in her tracks. She paused and wondered what it was before it happened again and she realised it was her stomach. She was hungry. Luffy laughed at this and took her hand leading her into the dining room.
It was a huge room. Another mast went though the centre just in-front of the kitchen. There was large table in front of her with each of the people she had just seen sitting around out except for the blond one who was in the kitchen preparing something.
"Oi Sanji! We're hungry" He called. The blond man responded to Luffy with a quick glare but then moved over to her with the hearts appearing in his eyes again. "Oh my Lovely-Chan, what would you like to eat?" She backed away slightly as the blond man approached her. However he was soon hit over the head by the red haired girl "BAKA! Can't you see your scaring her! Gomen Sanji is always like this but he is a really good cook. I'm Nami." The red head smiled at her and she nodded back. Luffy, still holding her hand, pulled her to the table and they both sat down whilst Nami ordered Sanji about "Hurry and get those two something to eat". "HAI! NAMI-SAN!" said the blond haired cook making a miraculous recovery and moving to the kitchen on the other side of the room
Chopper entered the room and sat down next to her. She looked around the table nervously at the people she didn't know. "Well" said Nami "Let's introduce ourselves, that idiot in the kitchen is Sanji and you already know my name." She smiled at her again but she was still a bit nervous. Chopper seemed to sense it and took hold over her other hand. She looked down and him, he had a small blush on his face which he tried to cover up by looking down but she saw it and smiled. He was very sweet perhaps he was just nervous around new people.
She looked at the girl sitting next to Nami who also smiled at her. "My name is Robin it's nice to meet you." Next to Robin was the scary green haired boy with the katana. He was resting his head in his hand with his elbow on the table. He looked at her and simply said "Zoro" before looking away again. This defiantly scared her but she tried not to show it. She looked at the end of the row where she was sitting to see the long nosed boy sitting next to Chopper. "And I am the great Usopp-sama" he cried pointing at himself with his thumb "I am well known as the greatest and the bravest in all the seas of the world!" She gasped and her eyes began to shine as she looked at Usopp and said "SUGOI" This cried was echoed by Chopper and Luffy whilst the Nami waved her hand saying "Uso".
Then the door opened and another person entered the room. He was quite tall with blue hair and very large arms with blue stars on them. He was wearing sunglasses, a Hawaiian top and Speedos. "I've just made the repairs on the sub" He said, "It seems as if the ice did more damage than I thought." He stopped and looked at her. "Well it's seems she's finally woken up, I'm Franky the SUPER shipwright of this crew." She nodded but was still overcome but his appearance to speak and he moved to sit at the end of the table next to Zoro and Usopp. Sanji then emerged from the kitchen and presented her with her food. With a cry of "Here you are lovely-Chan!" This was again silenced by Nami.
After she had eaten Sanji's food, which she had to agree with Nami was really good; Chopper proceeded to ask her questions about what she had forgotten. She explained how she know nothing about this world, the continents or the seas, where she was or anything about herself, where she came from, what her name was.
"I don't even know how I got on this ship." She said finally looking around at the crew sitting on the table with her. She blushed slightly at the stares they were giving her, all except Luffy who was still eating, but stopped for a second and said "Oh that's easy I found you in the ba..." but before he could finish Nami had grabbed a piece of meat and shoved it in his mouth. She was slightly confused but Nami proceed to say "In the ocean you were floating on a piece of wood" she made up, Usopp thinking 'she is a fast liar'. Luffy was not happy at being interrupted but he was given more meat so he wasn't complaining and just nodded.
"Souka, ano...was there...did I have anything with me?" She asked, hoping that there might be a clue to who she was. Luffy, having finished the meat, answered "Nope you were completely na..." but another piece of meat was put in his mouth by both Nami and Usopp this time as they both laughed nervously. She looked at them both especially Usopp who had run all the way from the other side to the table to do so. He blushed slightly and quickly looked away whilst going through his bag. "Ah here it is." He said, pulling out a small purse and handing it to her. "We found this when we found you" he told her.
The purse was small and fit nicely in her hand; it was a light purple colour with a slight pattern on the edges. She opened it to find a few coins and some notes that seemed to be in a currency called beri. And on in the inside of a plastic film was a small picture of a young girl with long light brown hair and a small purple dress smiling in a field of flowers, with a blue sky and an oak tree in the background. "Ah" said Luffy looking over her shoulder "It's you." She looked at the picture again more closely this time. But she still couldn't remember anything she didn't even know if that girl was her. She didn't even know what she looked like yet.
Chopper looked at her curiously. "Do you remember?" he asked her. She shook her head. No matter how hard she tried she still didn't know. She put the purse down on the table, and Nami had a big urge to see how much money was in it but before she did Robin had taken it to look at the photo. "Chopper, do you know what's wrong with her yet?" asked Usopp as he sat back down next to him now that Luffy had been silenced. Chopper looked down at the table. "No. I don't understand. There's no damage to the head that could have affected her memory. I've looked to see if there are any poisons that might take away someone's memories but I couldn't find anything their either." He looked up at her "I'm sorry I don't know why your memories are gone."
She was sad but she tried to smile at him "It's ok Chopper you did your best." Chopper looked as if he might cry but Sanji distracted him by asking "Chopper do you know a way to get her memories back?" Chopper looked at Sanji and replied, "There are many possibilities but without knowing the cause I'm not sure which will work." "Then let's try them all!" cried Luffy, finally having finished his meal. He grinned as he looked at her, "If we try them all one of them has got to work. Right, Chopper?" Chopper looked and Luffy and smiled in agreement. "So what are they exactly?"
So Chopper explained, "Well one way is for her to use the 5 senses to recognise something she has seen, tasted, touched, heard or smelt before, but that might not work because looking at the picture didn't provoke a reaction. But we still have a lot of things we could try. For example.." Chopper continued to explain until finally he said "Or we might just have to wait and see if they come back on there own."
"But before that" interrupted Robin "We need to give our new friend a name, don't you think Captain-san?" Luffy nodded his head in agreement, and seemed to be in deep thought before saying "Why don't we use where we found you?" he suggested "Furo..." But Nami quickly punched him into silence "Umi!" she cried "Since we found you in the sea how about Umi?" But Luffy recovered quickly with another idea, "Saifu!" Everyone turned to look at him "Because we found you with a purse!" This reasoning was quickly followed by another hit from Nami and a chorus of 'baka'.
This went on for a bit until Robin interrupted again. "How about Hana, since you're in a field of flowers in this picture." Everyone paused whilst she thought about it. "I like it" said Hana with a big smile on her face. Luffy cheered and cried "To our new nakama, Hana!" There was a load cheer followed swiftly by an "EEHH!" Hana looked at Luffy "Nakama?" Luffy nodded, "I said I liked you didn't I? So I've decided you're our new nakama!" Hana could only look at Luffy and didn't know what to do or say. Then Sanji spoke "When that guy decides on something nothing will change his mind" he said with a grin, quickly followed by more hearts in his eyes and a "Good choice Luffy!" He was for the third time hit by Nami who smiled at her. "You might find someone who recognizes you on our travels" said Usopp, "Yeah you gotta stay" piped up Chopper. Robin smiled at her and Franky grinned, Zoro sighed but quickly grinned as well. Hana turned back to Luffy who was still smiling his biggest smile.
Tears started forming on Hana's eyes but she quickly wiped them away and smiled back. "HAI!" There was another cheer and she found herself linked together, arm in arm with Luffy Chopper and Usopp who started singing 'We got a new nakama and were gonna play like there's no tomorrow.' Hana laughed at her new friends, and hoped she would never forget this.
Well that's the first chapter done. I've still got more hope you didn't get to confused by all the 'she' and 'her' s. And now it's time for Translations:
