Hello beautiful people. I do not own One Piece nor will I ever. I thank my reviewers and followers and will now start on chapter three.

MILO

Gage was being totally unfair! It was my baby. My idea. My blood that went into her. Long story don't ask. Why would he agree to sell her? And to some guy who couldn't even stop a huge ship from sinking. I grumbled as I walked down main street trying to clear my head. Meow. The cat from the day before drew my attention.

"Hey sweetheart." I said crouching down to pet her. "Was Shachi right? Are you a stray?" I asked as I stroked her head. Meow was the only answer I got. "That's ok. I'm a stray too." I said picking the cat up and stading. Yeah sure Shachi was my brother, but we didn't think by blood. All Gage and Betty knew, or Shachi and I for that matter, was that Shachi and I had arrived at the boatyard on a cold stormy day holding hands. Shachi was six and I was four. Apparently already well versed in techology. The storm had turned the lights out and I had gotten them working again.

I shook my head riding myself of such thoughts. Shachi was my big brother and that was a fact. No question about it. I walked away from the spot the cat had been, the cat still in my arms. I needed to keep my attention and thoughts off and away from strange guys, sinking ships, and older brothers.

"You're strange." A voice said from behind me. I turned to see who exactly was talking to me. It was the polar bear who had been with the guy insisting to buy my sub. I lifted an eyebrow at him.

"Really? How so?" I asked him.

"I don't know. You're just strange. You're not like any human girl I've ever met." He said. I laughed.

"Who said I'm human?" I couldn't resist asking. This seemed to confuse him. "Don't worry. I'm pretty sure I'm human."

"Oh." He said slowly. "Who are you?" He questioned uncertainly.

"I'm Milo. And you?" I countered.

"Bepo. Why won't you sell the sub to captain?" He inquired. I lifted an eyebrow at this.

"That weirdo is captain? As for the sub it's special to me is all." I answered.

Meow! "Ow!" The cat scratched me as she scrambled to get away. I dropped her. As soon as her feet touched the ground she took off like a bat out of hell. Something was wrong. Out of my previl vision I realized Bepo and I were surrounded by marines. Those idiots. I mean seriously what kind of morons tried to stop an unstopable force? Honestly once the pirate era started there was no way to stop it until it played itself out.

"Miss Milo. Please move. We have reason to believe that that bear is a pet of the Heart Pirates." A marine told me. I chuckled.

"Three things you lot should know. One it's Milo. Just Milo. And two I doubt Bepo is just a pet." I told the marines ticking the points off on my fingers.

"And three?" Someone asked as I reached for one of the many pockets that covered my pant leg.

"I'm not letting him go without a fight." I announced pulling out my weapon. It was a special metal staff set up so if I hit a button it sent an electronic pulse.

Of course even with a weapon I lost to the marines. Than again there were over a dozen of them and I was just one little girl fighting with a polar bear who seemed to know karate or something.

"He cohorsed her. Leave her be." Someone shouted it. Well that sucked. They were dragging Bepo away. I muttered curses to the sky as I pushed myself to my feet, collasped my staff, and headed back to the shop.

"Milo! What did you do?" Shachi demaded. He grabeed my chin and examined my face. I had a split lip, but that was about it.

"I got in a fight with a couple of marines." I answered jerking out of his grip.

"If it was just a couple of marines you would have gotten out easy. And without any damage done to yourself." Shachi scolded crossing his arms across his chest. "Tell me what happened. Honestly." He ordered me. I sighed and pushed my hair back away from my face.

"Alright. I was talkin' to the polar bear from wiht that weirdo who wanted to buy my sub." I said. Half truth, but the truth never the less.

"I'm with you so far." Shaci prodded. I shook my head.

"Sorry big brother. My lips are sealed." I replied sitting on a near by table. Than I realized something. "Where did the weirdo go after he left here?" I asked kicking my legs back and forth. Shachi shrugged. Crap! If his bear got captured than more than likely so did he. I sighed. "Alright big brother. We're goig to sneak into a marine base." I announced hoping off the table.

"What? Hell no!" Shachi shouted waving his hands around wildily.

"Why not big brother?" I asked innocently. I didn't bat my eyelashes. I was smarter than that.

"Because it's a marine base!" Shachi shouted loudly.

"So? A customer's been captured." I said grabbing my jacket.

"What are you doing?" Shachi demanded. I didn't answer him. "Where are you going?" He reworded his question. I grinned. I had trained my big brother well.

"To break into a marine base." I answered.

"Come on Milo. Don't be sucidal." Shachi pleaded as he walked beside me not really trying to stop me. Than again I had yet to start heading for the door.

"I'm not. I'm just gonna break into the base's control room and unlock some doors. You forget big brother I built the system they're using." I answered. I grabbed a couple of electronics and my leather gloves. I didn't wear them when dealing with my own electronics, which had led to many of the scars on my hands, but when dealing with other's I wore them to prevent leaving a trail of fingerprints.

Shachi face palmed. "Really Milo? You're going to get yourself killed." He told me.

"I'll be careful." I said sweetly. I almost had him. I slipped my gloves on and put the elcetronics in my pant pockets.

"No. I'm going with you." Shachi said. I surpressed a grin. I had won.

"Ok big brother. Whatever you say." I easily agreed before turnig and walking out of the shop.
