' ' Thinking/Thoughts
The day starts out like any other day on Dawn Island. The sky is bright and clear without any trace of clouds. The air around the island is calm and collective flowing with a soft hum.
On this particular island is known for having the Goa Kingdom residing at the island, Mt. Colubo, and Foosha Village.
Somewhere in the forest of Mt. Colubo a black portal opens up somewhat a couple inches off the ground, depositing an unconscious Shelby into this world once again.
Poke. A slight jab to my side.
My eye twitches in irritation. I ignore It.'Who ever is poking me better stop. I want to sleep.'
Poke. Poke. I could hear whispering but I couldn't tell what was being said being partially asleep and all.
Poke. Poke. Poooke. 'Who ever it is won't stop..' I growled to myself opening my eyes.
While sitting up, I slap whatever was poking away from me. "Will you quit poking me!?" I yelled.
I saw a hand jerk back. I followed that hand with my eyes to see none other then Monkey. D. Luffy, Portgas. D. Ace, and Sabo as they look as kids, standing right around me.
I rub my eyes to get the sleep out of them to make sure I'm not dreaming. When I got all of it out I looked up. I was not dreaming. They were still in front of me standing in a threatening manner with their poles in hands Getting ready to strike at me if I make a wrong move towards them.
"Who are you?! And why is a little girl like you in this forest?!" Ace growled at me.
'Wait what? Little girl?' I stare at Ace in confusion. I look down to see my backpack attached to my back and that my body shrunk to the size I was when I was seven years old. I still had the same clothes on when I fought Shanks but they somehow shrunk with me.
I glare at them. "It's rude not to introduce yourself first! And well... Why are YOU in the forest!" I growled back.
I quickly stand up and brush off all the dirt on me. I look at the boys to see them in a circle talking. 'Probably thinking what all they want to say to the strange girl they found in the forest.'
Luffy suddenly rushes over to me. While the other two walked more slowly.
"I'm Monkey. D. Luffy!" He said giving me a huge wide smile.
"Sabo." Sabo said simply.
"Portgas. D. Ace." He growled at me.
'Geez... Dude what is your freaking problem with me?' I thought sadly.
"Whats your name?" Sabo asks trying to keep the peace.
I grin. "My name is Shelby! Nice meeting you guys!"
"Hey Shelby! Why were you sleeping in the forest?" Luffy yelled voicing the other two's own questions.
I stare at all three of them. I could tell they wanted my answer by the looks on their faces.
"I fell out of a portal." I blurted out. I mentally face palm. 'Really?! Why did I say that?... I'm an idiot.'
Two out of three didn't think I was telling the truth. The other one had stars twinkling from his eyes in amazement. Guess who?.. Yup it was Luffy.
"Well anyways you can stay with us! You don't have to tell us what you were really doing in here!" Luffy said jumping in joy.
"Luffy.." Ace and Sabo hissed out.
Luffy turns around to stare at his "friends (haven't become sworn brothers yet)". They start sweating while having a staring contest with Luffy.
I mentally snicker. 'I bet Luffy is giving them the puppy look of doom.'
Ace and Sabo groan. "Fine she can stay with us." Ace muttered.
"Yay!" Luffy yells.
He grabs my arm and drags me to the place that they are staying to show me around. I sweat dropped at him. 'I could of walked by myself.' We went to sleep shortly after we arrived at Dadan's house.
The Next Day.
I tagged along with them to go hunting. They got a bunch of fish from the river. Huge fish.. The size of a full grown shark. Then out of no where the king of the mountain which is a giant Tiger attacked us.
It swiped its claw at Luffy. He was slashed across his chest while Ace and Sabo where panicking and trying to hold their own against the tiger. It just knocked them down.
I glared at the tiger getting extremely mad at it hurting my friends. As it was going to take anger swipe to finish them off, I ran in between them. All they could see was a red blur come between their death.
"Humans! They always get in my way!" The tiger snarled down at me.
"Well WE humans get in your freaking way to stop YOU from eating our friends or family you stupid King of the Mt." I hissed.
"Impossible! How can You? A mere human understand me?" The tiger sneered out.
'Ooh you stupid tiger.. You are sooo gonna get it..' I glared at him.
"ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE YOU STUPID CAT! SO I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU! I UNDERSTAND ALL ANIMALS! It's one the things I can do! Get off your high horse! You freaking cat!" I snarled.
The tiger starts shaking in fear. I continue to glare him down waiting for him to do anything. He takes a confident step forward to do another swipe.
I let my killing intent lose a tiny bit. "Piss Off!" I hissed out.
He turns around and bolts away from me, being the scaredy cat he is when danger presents itself.
"What.. The.. Hell.. Was.. That?!" I heard behind me.
I freeze in shock forgetting that they were behind me. I hesitantly turn around to see Ace and Sabo with pissed off looks while Luffy was bleeding on the ground.
"Shit." I cursed out loud. I walked very quickly to Luffy's side to check the damage. I looked at the cuts. I sighed in relief. They weren't deep at all. He was very lucky today. I placed my hand on the cuts to heal his wounds.
Sabo comes over to check on my progress with Luffy only to gasp in shock when he discovers that that I still have a red glow around my hand and his wounds are completely gone from the tiger.
"The hell?!" They exclaimed.
But before they could interrogate me I bolted for Dadan's for safety. Fate apparently wasn't on my side since I ended up tripping over a tree branch falling on my face.
I groan in pain. I sit up rubbing my face in pain. When I moved my hands from my face I saw three sets of eyes glaring down at me. I chuckle nervously.
"So what's up?" I asked innocently.
"Whats up?.. WHATS UP?! Why didn't you tell us that you could do that? Why didn't you tell us you had a devil fruit power?" Ace snarled at me while Luffy and Sabo just glared down at me.
"It's not a devil fruit! Ever since I've been little I could talk to animals, heal people, and many others! I thought you wouldn't trust me if I told you straight away! I was telling the truth when I said I actually fell from a portal! It's not my fault you didn't believe me!" I yelled upset.
I jumped to my feet. 'Why.. Can't you see that I didn't want you to not like me or think I'm a freak.'
"It was nice hanging out with you guys while it lasted!" I sadly said.
I walk all the way to Dadan's house. I knock. A big burly orange haired woman opens the door. I push past her just saying a couple words. "Garp. Tab. Stupid three trouble makers. Room by myself." Surprisingly she let me in without a complaint.
~Time Skip~
The next couple of days flew by moping in a room with the Dadan family. They grew tired of taking care of a mopey girl so they kicked me out when they couldn't handle it anymore.
I walked mindlessly around the forest without a care in the world to where I was going. It seemed like an hour had passed by the time I reached a huge looking tree.
I turn to walk away from the tree but suddenly I get knocked to the ground face first by a sudden weight on my back. I get a mouthful of dirt. I left up my head to spit the awful tasting dirt out my mouth.
I look behind me to see the all three of them sitting on my back to keep me from getting up and leaving.
I glared at them. "You can get off me know." I spat at them getting the last bit of dirt out.
They get off me but they kept a firm grip on my arm so I wouldn't take off. They drag me all the way to a cliff. 'Shiit.. Are they going to push me off?!'
"We understand why you didn't tell us anything about your abilities.. We don't care though." Sabo said.
I give them all a heartfelt smile. "Thanks!"
'Hmm.. Oh yea! I can tell Ace what his dad told me... I should tell him that soon.' I thought zoning out.
"Oi!" Luffy yelled breaking me from my thoughts.
I look to see them looking at me waiting for an answer. I blink owlishly at them. "What?" I asked in confusion.
"What do you want to do when you head out?" Luffy asked me.
"I don't know.. I just want to protect the ones I consider my family and friends to the best of my ability.. If I die doing that then I'll be happy with whatever I do. Whether I become a pirate, or not I'm letting fate decide." I shrug nonchalantly.
I zone out again only to get slapped on the back of the head by Ace trying to give me a cup filled with sake. I grab it and stared at him.
"From this point on we are BROTHERS!" Ace cheerfully said.
"Im a girl..." I muttered glumly.
"Okay okay! From this point on we are SIBLINGS!" Ace cheerfully corrected himself.
A/N: I was thinking of ending it here and torture you guys. But then I decided not to.
So we became sworn siblings. I was staring out at the ocean thinking. 'Awesome! This is the best day of my life.. Well one of them anyways.. There is still fighting with Shanks before he became one of the four emperors in the New World, fighting and hanging out with Gold Roger and Rayleigh.'
"Shelby!"
I snapped out of my thoughts. I turned around to see my new sworn brothers staring at me.
"What?"
"How old are you?!"
'Did I forget to tell them how old I am? Wait.. I can't tell them that I am actually eighteen. I look like I am seven years old. Hmm.. Yup I'll just go with being seven.' I thought quickly.
"What is today's date?" I curiously asked.
"It's November 30th. Why?" Sabo answered.
'Hmm..' "I just turned seven. My birthday was October 13th."
"So I'm older then you! I get to be your big brother! My birthday is May 5th." Luffy said poking fun at me.
I glared at him. "Only by a couple months." I muttered darkly.
"Ace we have to look after them since they are our little brother and sister." Sabo whispered to Ace trying to not be heard.
'I can hear you.. '
"Yea yea. I hear you Sabo. But for all we know Shelby can be a boy in disguise by the way she acts." Ace said talking normal.
My eye twitches in irritation. I glare at them making sure that they wouldn't say anything else about me being a boy. Ace just kept on talking.
"Ace... I don't like being mistaken as a boy." I venomously said while the air around me darkened reacting towards my sudden mood change.
He takes off before I could punch him in the face for calling me a boy. I chase after him yelling profanities, what all I was going to do to him. It didn't sound very pretty. Trust me by the time I would be done with him you wouldn't of recognized him at all.
~Don't you like Time Skips? I do..~
A couple weeks went by. A lot of things happened. One it's winter and there is snow on the ground. Yay. I considered them my brothers. Two.. I made myself vanish for an hour or two when Garp visited the boys. I didn't want him to see me again quite yet. We are now living in a tree house. And three. The boys made a bet to see if one of them can beat the Tiger Lord then that person will become the Captain. I think there was something else to it but Ace or Sabo won't tell me.
So thanks to my brothers' idiocy we are being chased by a freaking huge bear that has a scar over one of its eyes. When out of no where some old guy hits it with a hammer then when it came towards him. The old guy used Haki to chase the bear away.
The next thing I know is that we are sitting around him waiting for our fish to cook while he told us he used to be a pirate captain. He then started talking about how he battled Gold Roger and how he let him live.
While he was talking about his battle, Ace got up and headed to the tree house. I quickly got up and ran after him without hearing Sabos explanation at all. I already knew what Sabo was gonna tell Luffy and the old guy anyways.
When I got inside the tree house I saw that he was staring out the side of it, looking at the sky. I walked over to lean against the railing so I could talk to him.
"You know... Back home.. I used to have a good relationship with my dad. But then he did things to tear the family apart. I wanted to punch him in the face so many times. But I didn't. But now I don't even talk to him anymore." I said opening up painful memories to him while staring at the sky.
"Ace.. You shouldn't listen to people say bad things about your dad even if he was the former Pirate King." That got his attention. He whipped around to start yelling at me.
I raised my hand to stop him from yelling at me. "No one told me at all incase you were wondering. I knew for awhile. I honestly don't care if Gold Roger is your dad. Or what people say about him being the devil or that his kids shouldn't of been born. That's all a bunch of lies that the stupid marines made up... I spat out in anger. You won't believe me when I tell you that I actually meet him, talked with him, actually fought against him for training. I may look like I am seven years old but really I am eighteen years old. I just look like this because of the portals I'm able to make like to piss me off."
I looked at his face to see if he was still mad. I couldn't tell if he was still upset or just confused.
"Do.. You want to hear a message he left me?" I hesitantly asked him.
He stares at me for a bit in thought. He nods after a minute. I motion for him to stand closer to me. He comes over in arms length away from me.
I placed my hand on his forehead. "Close your eyes." I ordered.
He closed his eyes. I concentrate my energy to link us together. When I felt that my energy was flowing smoothly around us. I closed my eyes to suddenly have us disappear but only to appear in a room with a bunch of doors going to different areas.
He looks around in confusion. "Where are we?"
"Oh.. Well.. We are in my mindscape." I cheerfully said
I look around at the doors reading the titles on them trying to find the right door to go in. I walk to the last door in the right. 'Whoo! I found the door I was looking for..'
"Hey Ace! Come here!" I yelled at him only to startle him, which caused him to jump up in the air in fright like a cat.
He stops looking at a door that said "Memories in Kingdom Hearts". He walks up to me only to be pushed through the door.
The area fades to darkness for a split second only to have a jail area to shimmer into view. We walk over to my "older self", Garp, and his dad to have him listen to the message.
I push him right next to my "older self" so he could stare at his dad. He stares at them in confusion.
"Okay so you won't actually hear them talk. But instead you will see and hear it from my point of view." I whispered to Ace.
"Sup!" I asked cheerfully.
"How did you get in here?!" Garp blurted out being confused and all.
"Garp. Remember that kid I told you about? The one being from another world?" Roger teased him.
"Wha.. What?! And this is her?" Garp spouted out.
"Hey... Why did you tell him? Did you tell him everything about me?" I pouted at them.
"I just told him about you having abilities that isn't connected to a devil fruit, from another world where this is a manga/anime. That's pretty much it." Roger said honestly.
I glare at them for a few seconds then I sigh. "Well you did me a favor then. I was going to tell him anyways after I talked to you about something." I turned towards Garp. "This is for your ears only. I know what all is going to happen 22 years from now. I won't tell you any of the details that's all I am going to give you. Oh and don't think this is the last you will see of me. I will be back sometime soon." I lectured the marine.
"Roger... Is there a message you want me to give to anyone about anything?" I solemnly asked.
"Yea." He nodded. "When you meet my son, I know you will.. Tell him to live how he wants to live. I'm sorry that I won't be in his life at all once he is born. I wanted to soo much but I am dying. So I gave myself up to the marines. There are people that will like you for you but there will be people that won't just because you are my kid. Kids like you that are born from criminal parents are innocent. That's why I asked Garp to take care of you for me. I love you and your mother."
I grin at him sadly. "Why do you think that I am going to meet your son?"
He rolls his eyes at me. "By the stories you told me about your adventures to other worlds that are anime/manga in yours. I just know... So I heard something from Shanks.."
I curiously look at him. "What?"
He smirks at me. "He wants you to join his crew when he sets out. I think he likes you."
My eye twitches. I glare at him. "I've told you a million times I don't like him like that!" I snapped at him.
"Alright alright!" He said trying to calm me down.
The scene fades as we head out the door. Ace was pretty quiet as we walked to the exit in my mindscape. We exit without talking or looking at each other.
By the time we exited my mindscape it was pretty dark outside. He goes back into his spot when I first started talking to him. I quickly go hide behind a door far away from Ace. When I was completely hidden, Sabo and Luffy finally come in only to make Ace angry. 'Idoits' I rolled my eyes at the sound of their fighting.
I came out of my hiding spot to see the tree house in a wreck. All the furniture was smashed to pieces. The blankets were ripped. And the pillows were completely destroyed with their feathers falling out.
I walk over to where they were laying on the ground in exhaustion. I crouch down and stare at them in amusement.
"Luffy, Sabo, Ace.. Did you have to break everything in your fight?" I teased them.
"Where were you?" They asked.
"Hiding behind a door so I wouldn't get punched or get dragged into the fight." I said smirking.
A loud buzzing sound echoes through the tree house behind me. We all look behind me to see my portal swirling around. I stare at it for a couple seconds. I sigh. I look at them in sadness.
"I gotta go.. I will see you guys again real soon." I waved at them in goodbye as I walk into the portal.
Surprisingly it didn't force me out at all. 'Ill be seeing you guys again very soon'
A/N: Now it's the end of the chapter! Please review! So about what you read about the part about entering the mindscape how there was a door for Kingdom Hearts? It's another self- insert story. It will be up eventually..
