The next day I helped around the house because the boys ran off right away and I felt that I owed Dadan for taking me in. She was happy that there was at least one kid that would do the chores. Once I finished the chores Dadan told me to find the boys because she had diner ready already. When I went to the forest I wasn't sure where to go so I just wandered around calling their names. I was about to call again when they suddenly popped up behind me causing me to jump.

"What are you doing here"? Ace asked

"Dadan told me to get you guys because dinners ready".

"Meat"! Luffy perked up.

"Yah".

On the way back we didn't really say anything. Luffy commented on my eyes which were blue and purple (thank you for the idea itachi) saying that he had only ever seen mismatched eyes on a dog before. Ace and Sabo asked about my past if I remembered anything at all I thought for a moment.

"I don't remember anything other than that I'm seven".

"You can't even remember your name"?

"No"

they paused for a moment and then Luffy exclaimed that they should give you a name. The other two were surprised by that but they agreed.

"We can't just call you "you" all the time"

I thought for a minute and finally agreed to it the boys stood there arguing over names until they finally agreed over one that surprised me.

"Your name should be Moriko it means child of the forest. We found you in the forest. It's perfect"

I stood there for a moment and agreed to it making them smile in delight. I told them again about the food and then we all ran back to the house to eat.


The next day I went outside to see A woman and a old man outside with the boys they turned when they saw me. Luffy ran up and pulled me to the people to introduce me.

"Makino, This is Moriko we found her in the forest and now she lives with us temporarily" Luffy exclaimed wile the other two stood there beside me.

"Why only temporarily"? she asked

"Because Dadan doesn't want to take care of another person"

"Well" She smiled "I could take care of her and she could visit every day"

They all seemed happy about this especially Dadan. She turned to me.

"Would you like to stay with me"? She had a really nice smile.

"If it's ok with you"

"Of course"


We all enjoyed the rest of the day. At dinner the boys told me about pirates and told me that I should be on their crew when they become pirates. Then a big man suddenly wacked them on the heads telling them to be marines not pirates. He turned to me asking who I was. Luffy barged in and answered for me.

"She's Moriko and she's going to be part of our pirate crew"!

The boys face palmed themselves saying how stupid Luffy was. The man gave Luffy another whack on the head saying that they should be marines.

"RUN" Ace and Sabo shouted we all scrambled for the door away from the man only to be chased around all night

I was brought home by Makino who put me to bed right away I thought to myself how lucky I was that I got such good friends right away. In the morning I was woken up by the sound of people in the bar downstairs cheering and I overheard Luffy say something that took me a moment to understand.

"I'm going to be a pirate to Shanks"!
