I had a bit of a problem, I did know where to go. So I chose a random direction. 'I do need to find an island, I need a log post. Can't really travel here without it.'
I had been traveling for a while when suddenly a post bird flew next to me, it seemed a bit shaken, probably because I was flying but I took a paper from it and handed some belis too. Flying and reading should not go together but I don't really care.
There was an article about the government, then one about the shichibukai. But then there was an article discussing my identity. 'They would not find anything about me in any records, I literally should not exist here. But hey! I am here so who cares really. So, what lies are they sprouting in this news?' The article mentioned me being from somewhere in the New World and I am supposed to be of noble blood. 'Me a noble! That's hilarious!'
I was so absorbed in the ridiculous article that I did not see the ships mast ahead of me. So I made my not so graceful meeting with it. That's when I was embraced by the blackness of not being conscious.
I woke up to men yelling. Opening my eyes I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. "I see you have woken up, you gave us quite a scare when you fell on our deck," said a voice from my left. There was a woman in a nurses outfit. "Yeah, sorry about that, I wasn't really looking where I was going," I apologized. "So, can I ask where I am?" I asked. "Well, try not to freak out but you are on the White Beard pirates ship," she said while looking like she waited for me to scream. "Oh, that's nice, how long was I out," I asked. She was taken back by my casual manner. "Well, you have been sleeping for two days." "I really need to pay more attention to my surroundings, and I have to remind my self not to read while I am flying, also I had to be flying at great speeds to knock myself out for that long," I spoke. The woman had a weird expression, "You talk a lot." I blushed, "Yeah, sorry, It's a habit." She chuckled. "You seem healthy enough, so you can go meet the crew, you don't seem to be afraid of pirates," she smiled at me.
The crew seemed just like I would imagine pirates to be like - loud. A person ran towards me smiling. He had a hat and pants, but no shirt. 'Wow, those are some nice abs, Airisu snap out of it.' "Hey, are you okay, you fell from very high up," he asked. "Yes, I am well, nothing to worry about," I answered with a smile. 'He really is a lot like Luffy.' "That's good to hear, by the way, I am..." I cut him off. "Ace, I heard about you from Luffy." I lied, I didn't want to explain how I knew him, but I could have just said I read newspapers. I complicated the situation a bit. I sighed. His eyes seemed to sparkle, "You know Luffy? How is he?" he asked eagerly. "Yes I met him not long ago, with the time count of me being knocked out probably four or five days ago, he looked happy, he had a small crew," I told him. He smiled. "You clearly know me, but I know nothing about you, tell me something?" he required. "There is not much to tell," I lied, knowing fully well that my life was interesting and eventful. "My name is Ryuu D. Airisu and I am not from around here," I told him. "There must be something more than meets the eyes about you, the way you arrived here is the sole proof about that," he said with a sly smirk. "I won't demand you to tell me, but I would like to know." he said kindly, "Let's go meet gramps!" he said dragging me somewhere.
