Kyoko: Ok here is the next chapter of 'A New Beginning'. Oh everything would be told in Zoey's PoV.

Roxas: Kyoko does not own One Piece but she does own us. Which is just wrong you know that Kyoko.

Kyoko: Oh shut up, Roxas. Just deal with it. If it wasn't for me nobody would know about you guys at all.

Roxas: Yeah, yeah, whatever just watch it. If I could I would slice you to pieces.

Kyoko: If you do that then who will tell your story? No stop complaining.

Roxas: Fine, now on with the damn show.

~Zoey's PoV~

It was a gorgeous day. There was not a cloud in the sky. The sound of waves lapping against the dingy. Off in the distance I could hear the sounds of seagulls.

I was laying on my back looking up at the sky. I pull my hat over my eyes, and listened to the sound of the waves pulling me along for the ride.

I placed my arms behind my head, and had a content look on my face.

"I wonder what the others are up too? Roxas, Loki, Levi and Yossup are here in the East Blue. Tory is in the Grandline on Sakura Kingdom, with doctorine. But the question is where are the ones in the East Blue?"

I looked at my supplies Aunt Robin, my Mom and Atoli placed on my dingy. I had a barrel that I had no clue what was inside, and my small backpack. Then I looked back up at the clear blue sky.

Yawn

"I guess I'm tired. That damn dream didn't help me at all. On top of that I was way to excited to fall asleep in the first place last night. I guess I could take a few z's. I'll drift around for a bit then I'll figure out where I am..."

"Ah!" I shot up from my laying position. I looked around frantlcly.

"Wha...the?" I asked half asleep. I turned to the sound that woke me up from my nap.

"Well that explains the noise." I said as I looked to my right.

The sound of rushing and turning water was from a giant and I mean a giant whirlpool. And it was starting to pull my little dingy into it.

"Well this is just great! How am I going to survive this one?" I place my hand under my chin, in a thinking pose.

"I can't swim either. Hmm... in a situation like this there really isn't anything you can do. I'll just end up drowning even if I could swim." I hit my fist in my open hand. Then I grab my backpack and put in on my back.

"YIKES!"

All I could hear was the sound of fast moving water. All I saw was water and what was the remains of my dingy before everything went black.

"Well if it isn't our favorite cabin girl, Amy! Did that big barrel of rum wash up on the beach?"

"H-heh, h-eh...y-yeah. I was just bringing it to the storage, it's pretty heavy. S-so I think that it is a full barrel."

"Well I know what to do with it. I say we drink it."

"If the Captain finds out she'll have our heads."

"She won't find out and little Amy won't tell a sole. Will you Amy?"

Wha the? Huh...I hear voices.

"N-no I don't s-see anything."

I reach my hand up and felt the top of the barrel.

"Let's open her the old fashion way boys!"

Huh...it looks like I'm stuck in here if I don't do something soon I'll run out of oxygen and I'll die from suffocation.

I bend down as far as the barrel would allow me and I raise my hands over my head.

Then as fast as I could I shot up and busted the barrel's top right off. I felt my right fist connect to something that felt like flesh. But I paid it no mind.

"AHHHHH!"

"AHHHHH!"

"THAT WAS A GREAT NAP!"

"What the devil's name!"

"Hmmm...I wonder how the hell I survived that? Oh well I guess I was just lucky...I guess." I said out loud. I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings.

I saw two guys that had a deer in a headlight look to them. Another guy that was on the ground. And finally a girl with black bottle cup glasses and dark pink hair that was cut to about her shoulders. She was wearing a white shirt with blue strips on the sleeves and baggy blue pants.

"Huh, who the hell are you?" I ask the two guys.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GIRLY!" They shout back at me.

What's their problem? Why are they yelling at me?

"Your friend will catch a cold, if he continues to sleep there." I say as a friendly suggestion.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KNOCKED HIM OUT!" They yell at me.

Their yelling is getting on my nerves. And what are they talking about...oh wait I did feel my fist meet flesh when I stretched.

I got out of the barrel and looked back inside the barrel. I reached down and grabbed my backpack that was at the bottom of the barrel.

"Ahh! Look out! Behind you!" The pinked hair girl screamed.

I turned around just as two sabers came down on my shoulders.

The blades snapped and the broken parts flew up into the air.

"Ahh! What the?" the two guys shouted.

"What that matter with you two?" I ask them.

They screamed and took off running out of the storage room, and dragging their friend with them.

"Wow! Those guys are weird." I deadpanned.

"Quick! You got to get out of here! They'll come back with their Captain!" The girl yelled at me.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Who are..." I started to ask but I wasn't able to finish my sentence.

The girl grabbed my arm and started to run out of the storage room and into the forest. She wasn't slowing down at all.

"Woa! Slow down shorty! Where are you taking me?" I ask her.

"You got to get out of here! Those pirates are going to tell their Captain about you and then they'll kill you. You can use my dingy to get away. Oh and my name is Amy." Amy said as she stopped in front of something.

It looked like a coffin.

"I'm Zoey. What's that a coffin?" I ask Amy with all seriousness.

"N-no it's the dingy that I was telling you about. I built it, it took my three years to make." Amy said nervously.

"Wow your shipwright skills suck! But seriously you don't want it?" I ask her. I was inspecting the 'dingy'.

I wouldn't sail in this thing. It'll be my coffin.

"I built it to escape this place, but I'm to scared to actually do it. I'll just be a cabin girl for pirates the rest of my life. But I had another dream, once." Amy said, sweat covered her face.

"Why don't you just leave if you hate it here so much?" I ask her. I took in her reaction to my words.

"What no way! I can't do that! Just thinking about leaving makes my stomach flip. Do you have any idea what the Captain will do to me if she caught me?" Amy said shaking her head furiously back and forth.

"It happened on that faithful day three years ago. I decided I could go out fishing, but the boat I was using belonged to a pirate crew." Amy said, shaking like no tomorrow.

Wow! This girl is...is...

"Wow! You're a coward and a moron. I hate people like you!" I said laughing at her.

She had tears pouring out of her eyes.

"You don't have to be so honest about it." Amy said sadly. "But you're right, I'm a coward, I don't even have the guts to go out and achieve my real dream. Or sail around in a barrel like you did, Zoey."

Amy was looking down at the ground, she was still shaking a bit but not as much.

I was leaning up against Amy's 'dingy'. I shuffled my bag on my back then I looked up at the sky.

"Hmm... Zoey what made you go out to sea?" Amy asked me.

I turned to Amy, with a confused look on my face.

"Huh? Oh ya see I'm going to be the Queen of the Pirates!" I smiled ear to ear.

My smile fluttered a bit when I saw Amy shaking like a made man...er...woman.

"Q-queen of the P-pirates!" Amy spatted out. "Then you're a pirate too?"

"Yep!"

"You're c-crew?"

"Don't have one yet. I'm looking for them. I know just who I'm searching for also."

Huh? Is she frozen?

I waved my hand in front of Amy's face. Her mouth was hanging wide open. If she kept it open any longer a bug would fly into it.

Suddenly Amy shot up.

"Do you have any idea what you're saying! What you're searching for is the treasure of wealth, fame and power. The treasure you seek is the illusive One Piece! No way, no way, no way! There is absolutely no way you can do it! There are pirates a lot bigger and stronger than you are. Besides there is no proof where the former King of the Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy left the One Piece. You could be searching for..."

WHAM!

"OW! Why'd you hit me?" Amy asked while holding her head.

"Because, I felt like it." I replied.

Amy sat up and rubbed her head.

"It's ok, I'm use to it. My crew members always push me around." Amy said nervously.

"I'm not afraid to die." I state while pulling my straw-hat off of my head.

"Huh?"

"I decided long ago that I would form a crew and find the greatest treasure in the world. If I die trying then I die." I say looking longly at my hat.

"I never thought of it that way. Do you think...do you think I could achieve my dream?" Amy asked.

"And that would be?" I asked, not really caring.

"I want to join the Marines. All I've ever wanted to do was catch bad guys. That's all I've ever wanted to do since I was a little girl." Amy said, with tears lingering in her eyes.

"How should I know? If you put you're mind and heart to it anything can happen. Oh but ambition would probably be a good thing also." I said with a hand under my chin thinking.

"Then I'll do it! I'll join the marines! And once I become a marine I'll come back here and capture this pirate captain first!" Amy shouted.

I heard rustling in the bushes and I looked that way.

Just then this big blur came out of the bushes.

"Who are you going to capture first, runt?" The Captain yelled, as she smashed her weapon down on ground where Amy use to be.

The captain was a blob to put it simply. She was fat, with beady little eyes and greasy brown hair.

"You little sneak! Did you really expect to escape from me?" The Captain yelled.

Amy was shaking in fear, but I just stood there, staring blankly at the scene before me.

"Is this little runt the bounty hunter you hired? Well she's defiantly not 'Silent Demon' Roxas, the bounty hunter that's for sure." The Captain stated.

Her voice is annoying me.

"Amy! I'll give you one chance to repent. Who is the fairest of all the seas?" The Captain commanded.

Huh? Fairest of all the seas? Well it's defiantly not her, that's for sure.

"Hey, Amy. Who's the fat bimbo?" I ask with pure honesty as I put my hat back on my head.

I looked at the captain and back to Amy. If it was possible the ground froze over.

"Zoey! Take it back before she kills you! And you can't start your pirate crew!" Amy shouted, shaking me back and forth.

"Throughout all the seas, she's...she's" Amy stopped her rant when she looked me dead in the face.

I showed no emotion what-so-ever, to Amy.

"I'm what?" The captain asked dangerously.

"She's the UGLIEST THING ON THE PLANET!" Amy shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Hahahahahahahaha" I couldn't stop my self from laughing my ass off.

Amy knows how to hit the nail on the head with the hammer

"YOU'RE SO DEAD!" The captain shouted in anger. The Captain raised her weapon above her head and started to bring it down.

"Nice one Amy!" I say as I push Amy behind me. And move in the way of the weapon.

"DIE!" The weapon hit me square on the head.

"ZOEY!"

Under my hat I grinned.

"That won't work on me~" I sang out. "I'm made of rubber!"

"Impossible no one survives the Captain's weapon!" The crew of pirate said in shock.

I pull my arm back and it stretched as far as it could go.

"Gum-Gum Pistol!" I shout as I send my fist forward.

My fist hit the Captain with such force that it sent the Captain flying out into the ocean.

I glare at the pirate.

"Give Amy a dingy! She's leaving to join the Marines. You're not going to stop her." I command.

"Yes Ma'am!" They all shout. They rush off to grab the dingy for Amy.

"Z-zoey...thank you." Amy said gratefully.

I turn around and smile at her.

"No problem." I just happened to look down at my clothes.

Huh? I wonder when that happened?

Some how my clothes were not only dirty but they where trashed.

"Hey, Amy..." I started

"Yes, Zoey"

"Is there a place where I can change my clothes? Somehow mine got ruined." I ask innocently.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask me about that. But you can change your clothes on the ship I guess. I don't think anyone is going to try anything against you." Amy said as she lead the way back to the storage room.

"Aww! It feels good to be out on the open sea again." I say as I raise my hands over my head.

"Yeah...if we stay on this heading we can reach the marine base in no time." Amy said as she was manning the sail.

I had changed my clothes about a half hour ago. I went from having a black tank-top and red shirt (tied in the front) to having just a plan red vest. I also changed from having short shorts that went to about mid thigh to having shorts that went past my knees. I kept my sandals and my hat.

"Really? That's great! You're awesome out here Amy." I say laughing.

"So Zoey if you're going to be Queen of the Pirates, you're going to have to head to the Grandline. You know that place is called the 'Pirates Graveyard'. The rumors that I heard say that no one comes out of that place alive." Amy said.

"I know, but that's not true Amy. My dad came out of the Grandline alive. He even went back to sail it again five more times before he died." I say, with a hand on my hat.

"Huh! Your dad has been to Grandline! He even sailed that cursed sea five more times! That's just crazy!" Amy replied in disbelief.

I waited for her to continue but she didn't say anything else.

I turn around to look at her. When I turned around Amy seemed to snap out of whatever trance she was in.

"Wait does that mean your dad was a pirate or a marine?" She asks.

"He was the best pirate that ever sailed the Grandline along with Gol D. Roger the first pirate king." I say smiling at Amy.

There was that damn silence again. Then Amy shot up like a bullet.

"WHAT! A-are you telling me that...that...your...your dad was...was..." Amy couldn't finish her sentence. She was at a lose for words.

She's way to easily surprised.

"Are you going to finish your sentence or do I have to for you?" I asked with a bored expression on my face.

"Your dad...was...he...Monkey D. Luffy? The second King of the Pirates?" Amy finally managed to ask.

I smile my face splitting smile.

"Yep! My full name is Monkey D. Zoey. I'm Luffy's daughter." I say.

"Then you ate the same devil fruit he did then?" Amy asked.

"Nope, I was born a rubber girl. Some how I inherited my dad's rubber powers. But I'm more curious about something else." I say as I turn back around.

"I..I...can't believe it. But if your dad was Luffy then why are you searching for the One Piece. The location of it was lost when he died 12 years ago on this day." Amy sputtered out.

"It's at the end of the Grandline. In the same location that Gol D. Roger left it when he died." I say off handedly.

"So..." Amy started.

"Can we drop the subject? Talking about my dad is a touchy subject for me. Especially today." I ask Amy.

"Oh, yeah sure." Amy replied.

We sailed in silence for about an hour. There was something about what that bimbo said that I couldn't get out of my head.

"Amy, that fat bimbo said something about a bounty hunter right?" I ask turning my head to face her.

"Yeah, his name is 'Silent Demon' Roxas but his real name is Yuma Roxas. Why are you asking?" Amy asked surprised.

"I was just wondering. What do you know about him?" I ask, looking over my shoulder.

Kyoko: Well there you have it chapter 2 is finished! I've been thinking that I would post everything for this story in a cluster. I would probably type up two chapters then post them. I was planning on posting chapter 2 and 3 but chapter 3 is taking me a lot long to type than i thought it would. But i really wanted to get this chapter out for all of you.
