A Father's Love
Third person pov
It's been about a week since her first day on the ship and you'd think it'd get boring seeing as you see the same people everyday but it wasn't. Sometimes she would train with Zolo or relax with Nami or read a book with Robin and sometimes she'd have fun running around chasing Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp. Each day was different, that's how she liked it, the day was never boring and Franky had set up a small sound stage so every night after dinner she would sing for the crew with a big grin on her face.
She was relaxing with Nami when Usopp called from the crows nest, "Land Ho!"
Luffy stood up on his spot, "YAY!MEAT!"
Nami smiled looking over the railing at the small island, "Hey Lina, it's your island. I didn't know it was a spring island."
"Yeah." she said with a small smile, she was kind of disappointed she didn't want her adventure to end and she wasn't sure what her father would say about the crew and there different ways.
Robin was the only one to notice the sad look on the younger girl's face, she knew what she was thinking knowing this could all go wrong.
Robin pulled Luffy aside before the docked in the harbor, "Captain-san I fear for singer-san she has to make a big decision and she may not have the strength for it alone. You two have grown close, she'll need you there with her, don't let her do this alone, ok?"
Luffy grinned knowingly, "She's our Nakama she'll never have to do anything alone again. We'll always be there."
Robin smiled as he walked away, he may act like and idiot and sometimes was but he had brains when it counted and the biggest heart she ever seen. She felt better about going to the island now.
As they docked Zolo dropped the anchor and Sanji put the walk way to the dock and tying the ship to one of the poles. That's when the mayor of the town (no it's not her dad) walked up to the ship, "You there, where's the captain of this vessel?"
That's when Lina looked over the railing and grinned, "Vladimir!" she ran down the walkway and hugged the older man who smiled.
"Young Miss Lina! Your ok. Once we heard the ship went down we surely thought the worst. Your father's beside himself with grief." He grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back to look her over as if making sure she was unharmed, "My how in the world did you survive, and are these the pirates that attacked the ship?"
She smiled, "Oh of course not these people saved me from some other pirates and before I tell you how I survived I have to speak with father."
"Oh of course, we must tell him the great news. Your friends can come to if they like."
Luffy jumped over the railing, grinning and scaring the poor man almost to death, Lina smiled, "Oh Vladimir, this is the captain Luffy. Luffy this is the mayor Vladimir."
They get introductions out of the way and Lina leads the way to her house and at the gate she see at tall woman with dark brown hair standing with a tall dark haired man and a small 3 year old boy holding the man's hand.
The woman turns to them seeing the mayor and smiles then she looks at Lina and tears well in her eyes, "Lina!"
Lina grins, "Sophie!" and runs to give the older woman a hug.
Sophie had tears running down her face, "Lina my baby sister, Oh once I heard the news I cried for a week or more I lost count. Anyway that doesn't mater now your back. Oh father will be so relived, we feared we'd have to plan another funeral." she said hysterically. Lina had tears in her eyes but didn't cry she had to be strong if she was going to face father.
Lina pulls her sister off her and leads everyone thought the gate and in to the big double doors that open to a big room with winding stairs on either side. Everyone stares around in awe at the entrance room, "Wow you live here?" says Nami her mouth agape as she stares at the ceiling.
Lina giggles at the crews reaction to the huge house as the house maid comes walking down the stairs hugging Lina and leading them to a big library, Lina and her mother's favorite room. Three walls were lined with books and the room was two stories tall, one wall was basically a giant window letting the suns light poor it to the room. Sitting in a chair by the widow was a elderly man that looked in his early 50's with his face in his hands, on a table in front of him sat a untouched plate of food that looked stone cold and he looked like he hadn't eaten in days.
There was another younger man with jet blonde hair sitting across from him in his early 20s looking angry neither one noticed they had company, "Now I understand your grief but I was promised something for my money and I know there's know way can pay me back. I was promised a bride and now that she's dead you have no choice but to give me this house to pay off your debt."
Lina looked at her father, "Father, what debt is he talking about?"
The two men jump at her voice her father looking at her like he seen a ghost, tears start running down his face, "Lina? Is that really you? are you really here?"
She nods as he rushes over and hugs her tightly, "Yes father it's me but what debt is he talking about?"
He sighs, "A long time ago I barrow a large sum from Gins father and the only thing I could promise was you or this house and his father picked you."
Lina pulled away from her father, "You sold me for a debt, I'm not a piece of furniture, dad. I know its tradition for arranged marriages from birth but to pay off a debt that's just wrong. Plus I don't want to get married, I want to sail the world."
"What! Lina you know it's not lad like to sail unless being escorted somewhere."
Lina stepped back farther from her father, "I don't care about traditions. All they are is things made up by people so they can control what other people do. Have you ever thought about what I might want or what Sophie would have wanted?" You could see anger on her face.
"Lina…." he reached for her but she step back further.
"No! You never asked cause you never care all I was to you was a prize for some asshole in a suit who would most likely beat me when he got the chance. Well I'm making my own choices now and I'm gonna be a pirate."
"Lina, do you really think I would want to give you up for a debt. I've dreaded this day for years knowing one day he would send for you and if I didn't give you up to them they kill all of us. I did this to protect you, your sister and her young child. Please believe me Lina I would never give you up given the choice I would give up my left and right hands for you and this family, to protect us."
She had calmed down and thought for a minute, "Yes, I guess you would, I believe you."
"Oh thank you my baby girl." he hugged her again.
Gin clapped a few times, "Touching reunion but this still doesn't solve your debt now will I be getting a bride or should I take this lovely house." he smirked knowing he'd win either way.
Her father turned to look at him, "I lost my daughter once I'm not letting her go again you can have the house."
Thinking fast Lina came up with a plan, "No I'll go with you." everyone was surprised at her.
Her father speaking first "No he can have the house, not you."
She looked at him and smiled giving him a small wink telling him she knew what she was doing, "You can take me I'll be your bride."
Gin gave a creepy smirk, "Perfect. Shall we go then my little princess."
"I must speak with my father and Luffy first, you know final farewells."
He nodded lightly, "Very well I will wait by the front door don't take to long now my little princess."
She shivered as he walked by and out the door, then she turned to everyone, "Please I must speak to Luffy and my father alone can you all wait at the front door to?"
They all nodded and left except Luffy and her father who was now walking around the room. When the door shut he exploded, "What are you thinking giving your self to that selfish bastard he…"
She cut him off by putting a finger on his lips and sitting him down in the chair motioning Luffy to the empty one across from him, after he sat down ahw told them her plan.
After she got done explaining they nodded and began to leave but as her father walked out she turned to Luffy giving him full on the mouth kiss, he was so stunned he didn't know what to do.
As she pulled away from him and stepped back she smiled ,"Sorry but I didn't want to give that bastard my first kiss, so I gave it to you."
She walked out the room leaving a stunted Luffy, after a few seconds he shook out of his stupor and followed her out the door to the front door. She gave everyone a small smile and Gin led her out the door, giving a small wave.
After there out the door and a ways down the street him leading her, he leans in to her ear, "You chose right. Had you let me have the house, I would have burned the village to the ground but your sacrifice will save the entire village, but of course there are no guarantees for no one can ever really control a band of ruthless pirates."
"You let them touch that village and I will kill you."
"Ooh I like them fiery."
She was quiet the rest of the way to his ship which was a pirate ship she crossed her arms and held her head high walking on bored. She could see the hungry looks the crew gave her but she ignored then knowing in a few minutes what would happen if the plan worked.
As soon as she was on bored she was thrown in to the food storage and locked in there as Gin ordered the to destroy the village. She sat Indian style on the floor and waited till all was quiet the she stood and looked through the key hole in the door seeing know one she cut the lock and kicked the door as hard as she could breaking the door down.
As she walked out she looked around and was confronted with an angry looking Gin and his two strongest subordinates.
"Now my little princess how did you do that? Are you a devil fruit user?"
She smiled, "Now what made you think that? I'm just a sweet innocent little girl."
She watched as he walked up to her and slapped her as hard as he could causing her to fall then he kicked her hard in the stomach knocking the breath out of her.
"You think you can beat me little girl, you stand no chance against me, my devil fruit made my skin harder than steel, anything you throw at me will have no effect on me." he kicked her once more and smiled.
She started coughing as Zolo, Sanji, and, Luffy came running up the plank, all of the guys looked mad but Luffy was pissed and his anger only increased once he saw her laying on the floor a bruise on her face and holding her stomach.
With out waiting to talk Luffy attacked Gin with a punch so fierce that knock him through the wood and on to the beach near the tree line flying a ways. Zolo and Sanji were attacked by his two friends as Luffy rockets to Gin kicking him in the stomach and slamming him in to a tree Luffy ran up to him and did a Gatling gun punching him a million times into and through the tree's trunk.
Zolo fought a guy that had two sword and was faring really well, Sanji who was fighting a guy who was an expert on the human body's pressure points(think Tylee from Avatar or Neji from Naruto)and he was struggling a little. He was able to dodge just fine but so did the other guy.
Luffy picked up Gin by his shirt throwing him in to another tree, "How dare you touch her, you have no right to even be near her, your gonna pay for hurting her."
Gin kicked Luffy in the chest sending him a few feet across the beach and rolling a little in the water a bit getting Luffy all wet.
Gin smirked, "You to think you can beat me all your punches did nothing but tickle. Your all pathetic. I'll burn down the village once I kill you and your crew and then when everyone's dead I'll take Miss Lina as my crew's whore."
Gin tried to walk toward Luffy as he was getting up but couldn't move his feet, he looked down to see his feet covered in a thick block of ice that was slowly working its way up his legs. That's when he saw Lina barley standing off to the side controlling the water from the ocean to freeze him in place she stopped it at his hips.
He smirked, "What's wrong little girl to weak to finish me?"
She smiled softly, "Yes I can't finish you but the water of the mother ocean is ruthless to evil men like you. Go to hell you asshole."
She unfroze him as Luffy stretched his arm back grabbing Gin and sling shoot him as far as he could in to the ocean knowing he would sink.
She fell to her knees and almost on her face but Luffy caught her before she hit the ground, he rolled her over and grinned at her, "Can we get some lunch now I'm starving?"
She smiled up at him and passes out, so he picks her up bridal style and carries her back toward town.
Zolo sheathed his swords just as he saw Luffy walking back toward Lina's House carrying her so he followed, Sanji had just finished off his opponent, and fallowed Luffy and Zolo. The other crew members along with the entire town were standing inside the gate of the mansion. They parted like the red sea as Luffy carried Lina up the walk way, in the crowd there was a lot of whispers like, "Is she ok?" or "Is she dead?"
He carried her all the way up to where her father and the mayor was, "Where is her bed room?" The maid told him to follow her and Luffy called for Chopper to follow to who was with the rest of the crew and ran to catch up.
