First One piece x Game of Thrones fanfic. Might be a bit weird, but its just an idea. Hope you enjoy!
Lyarra Snow was five when she first found the entrance.
Sniffing with tears running down her face, she is told quite harshly why she is called 'Snow' and not 'Stark', like her brother Robb. She's a baster, her father's child, but her mother wasn't Lady Stark. She was a child born of sin and lust, her entire existence a crime.
Now she knew why Lady Stark was always so mean, always glaring, always thinking it was her fault whenever she and Robb were playing. Robb...she wonders if he'll still like her, see her as his sister when he knows the truth about her. Her father she knew loved her, would sometimes glare at his wife when she glared at her, would smile and treat her the same as Robb.
But the harshness is too much, as is the pain of her status, so she runs away blindly. She doesn't know where she's running to, or even where she is, but its getting a bit snowy and she sees a cave, taking shelter within it. Its a small cave, one she would have missed had she not tripped due to being too close to the ground. Its much larger in the inside though.
Wiping away her tears, she looks around and notices that there is a tunnel. The young adventurous part, or Wolf's Blood she sometimes heard her father call it, had her seeking through it. She comes face to face to a large door with a wolf, a direwolf on it as well as a dragon intertwined.
Lyarra places her hand on the wolf, the sigal of House Stark, wishing desperately she was apart of it, when something pricks her hand, drawing blood and she removes her hand. To her astonishment, the door glows brightly and creeks open. The little girl peers inside the room and finds it empty, except the strange symbols on the floor, forming a circle. There are other symbols-writings maybe?-on the walls.
Before she could marvel on them, however, she steps into the circle and is blinded by a flash of bright light. When the light dies down, she looks around and finds herself in the same room-no, it was a different one. The circle she stepped in was still there, as were the writings on the wall, but they were also a bit different. She was observant and had noticed some of them were a bit different.
The biggest difference, however, was the light at the other side of the room.
Standing up, and thankful she wasn't hurt, she leaves the entrance and is amazed. Instead of seeing the snowy North, she sees rays of bright sunlight and what seemed to be a forest. No snow anywhere. Looking at her sides, she notices that she is inside a half covered cave. Careful of the fallen and broken stones, she climbs out and wanders about. She has never seen such greenery in her life and smiles as she feels the sun's heat on her face.
As she continues to wander, she wonders where in Westeros was she? And then wonders if it mattered. She was away from her home, yes, but she was away from Lady Stark as well. From the harsh glares, from the rude comments, from being treated as lesser than dirt. And as much as she loves her father, she believes that it is best if she wasn't near him.
Lyarra spent most of her time in the library, her sanctuary from Lady Stark, and knew that her honorable father had stained his honor, something he held on to, by claiming her. Bastereds weren't treated well. They were hated everywhere, though more tolerant in Dorne. The fact that she received the same of everything like Robb, that she had a roof over her head, food and clothes was never seen.
She was thankful for her father and wished to only make him proud of her, but she didn't want to be a burden to him anymore. She sniffed a bit, not wanting to cry again. She hated crying, it made her feel like a baby and she wasn't.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Whipping her head around, Lyarra was startled when she saw another person standing there. She hadn't even noticed there was someone there. It was a boy, a bit older than her and he had an angry expression on his face.
"I-I" what was she suppose to say? "I found out why Lady Stark doesn't like me." she ended up blurting, something she would never know why, but never regret.
"'Lady?' You're a noble?" he scowled and she flinched.
"No." she wasn't, never was really. "My father is and his wife and my brother, but I'm not." she explained and added after seeing the boy's scowl turn to one of confusion, "I'm a bastered, I child born of lust." she repeated what she had heard.
"My existence is a sin." she whispered.
She must have said something, because the boy paled and looked at her with wide eyes and then the anger was back. Perhaps he hated bastereds too?
"So you're just going to believe what the woman said?" he exclaimed angrily, making her flinch back and then took a softer tone, "She has no right to tell you whether you should exist or not. She's not your mother, right? So don't listen to whatever she says."
He paused.
Lyarra looked at the boy, who still had that angry look but now it seemed like it was directed at Lady Stark and not her.
"What would you do if the Pirate King had a son?" he asked finally. Lyarra looked at him in confusion.
"What's a Pirate King?" she asked, and he looked at her in shock and confusion, and then added, "My name is Lyarra."
"Ace." he said shortly, "Where did you come from?" he asked.
"Oh. From a cave, but...before I entered it, it was snowy but now its not." she explained awkwardly knowing it made no sense.
"Snowy?" the boy, Ace, asked, "Show it to me."
Thankfully, she knew her way back to the place. While on their way, they talk about different things and quickly noticed that many things didn't add up. It was like Lyarra was in a whole different world!
"Here it is." she pointed to the cave and they carefully slid in. "This is the circle I stood in-"
Just as her feet went inside said circle, the blinding light from before had blinded her. When it died down again, she looked around and couldn't find Ace. She rushed back to the entrance of the cave and was surprised to see the snowy North again.
Confused, Lyarra went back in and carefully stood in the circle. Once again, a blinding light had surrounded her and she heard a sharp gasp. Looking up, she saw Ace's stunned face.
"You disappeared!" was the first thing that came out of his mouth.
"I went back to my home." she said and stepped away from the circle.
Both children looked at it and then each other, in silence, wondering what the hell was going on.
"Maybe you really are from another wolrd." Ace broke the silence, only for Lyarra's stomach to growl. She blushed, embarrassed. She had forgotten breakfast.
"Come on. I'll teach you how to hunt." he said and she followed,
"Hunt?"
Only for the freckled boy to grin.
When Lyarra reappeared back in Winterfell, she had made a new friend, learned how to hunt and a fierce determination to not let Lady Stark rule her life.
...
Lyarra would return back to the cave, to Ace, almost everyday, until her father began getting suspicious. Ace had told her to come sometimes so as to not draw attention and she agreed. He taught her how to not only hunt, but fight as well and shrugged her shoulders when he told her he was the son of the Pirate King. Ace was Ace, her best friend, someone who accepted her wholly and someone she looked up to like an older brother.
Then she was introduced to Sabo and they both bonded over their love for books. When she had first met him, Lyarra didn't mean to out him as a noble, but because she lived with people from a Great House, she knew their body language and how they carried themselves. The blonde did that, even if it was extremely dulled. No one cared of course, just as they didn't care about her background or Ace's father.
The brunette had also met the bandits. They seemed to be afraid of Ace and the leader Dadan liked screaming a lot, but whenever she could, she helped around, making her Dadan's favorite. Ace told her that she didn't have to do anything, but she wanted to.
The Grey Terminal was a place that the boys went to often for treasure, having a treasure fund for their piracy. Lyarra had joined them when they had deemed her ready to fight of grown men. Though she struggled at first, she became better over time.
Although she liked the freedom in the forest and their raids, Lyarra wanted to go visit the small village nearby to buy things. She had learned everything she could about this world from Sabo and books and was absolutely amazed at how different their worlds were. In return, she told them everything she knew about her own and what she was learning.
The village was called Fuusha and it was a typical village, with people and businesses about. The three went from store to store, with Lyarra buying whatever she had liked from her own shares of the treasure she had gotten from the Grey Terminal. She hadn't decided about being a pirate yet because of her family and decided to wait.
After their tour around the village, they were making their way back to the forest, as she simply kept all her stuff from this world in Ace's room, when they came across a crowd of children yelling and throwing things at a little raven haired boy.
"Freak!"
"Monster!"
"Go away!"
"No one likes you!"
Lyarra clench her fist, a dark look on her face. The children were much older than the boy, who was about the same age as her and it made her angry at what they were doing. Ace and Sabo seemed to feel the same way as they all walked over to the group.
"Leave him alone." she said strongly, making them look at them. The boy was still crying, but seemed a bit shocked that people were standing up for him.
"Shut up! This little monster deserves it."
And then they attacked. The other children didn't stand a chance of course and although she didn't have Ace's strength or Sabo's fast thinking, she was agile, fast and adaptable. Between the three of them, there were none of the bullies standing. Lyarra walked over to the boy and smiled as she stuck out her hand.
"Hello. My name is Lyarra and these are Ace and Sabo." she said and he took it, standing up. "What's yours?"
"Monkey D. Luffy. T-Thank you." he cried, sniffing and she patted his head.
"Where do you stay? I'll patch you up." she said and he gave her a beaming smile, which she smiled. Sabo gave them a small smile, and Ace scowled, never very good at dealing with emotions.
They went to a bar, Party Bar, where Luffy knew the woman who ran it named Makino. Borrowing her first aid, she gently cleaned his wounds and patched him up. Luffy was a cheerful kid, she saw as he talked animatedly with them and even Ace started to loosen up after hearing that the kid had no one.
The two raven head boys, however, shared a connection in the form of Monkey D. Garp, Luffy's biological grandfather and the one responsible for Ace-even though he as hardly there for both boys. She and Sabo had never met the man, but if he was able to make the fearless Ace pale and shake then the little girl didn't think she wanted to meet him.
Luffy had began tagging along with them and soon the bandits housed the three boys. She didn't sleep over of course, but she did leave her stuff there. Even though he was loud and clueless, Luffy was a great friend, especially as they were the same age. He wanted to go out to sea and have adventures and decided to become a pirate when he heard of the other two boy's dream.
He began insisting that she join his crew but she said she would see as even though she didn't know what she wanted to do in the future, she knew that she didn't want to be a captain or separate from all three boys.
Then they met Garp and Lyarra had symbolized him as the very embodiment of fear. Being a marine was something she put in the 'Never To Do' list.

When Lyarra was seven, she met her first pirate crew.
The ship had docked at the port, Luffy having had told them about it. They were all excited to see it and she wondered if they were the scary kind that grampa-he had insisted for them to all call him that and she felt touch-had always told them about.
Party Bar was in what seemed to be a full scale party by the pirates and seeing Makino at eased, a woman she had began looking up to and spend time with, so she decided they were alright.
Luffy had at once hit it up with the captain 'Red-Hair' Shanks, telling him of the many adventures of his crew, even though he sometimes liked making fun of him.
Ace had also warmed up to him, after the man had recognized him as Gol D. Roger's son, his former captain, and made sure to tell him a more accurate description of the man. Although Ace wouldn't take his name or like him immediately, he didn't right away see the man as an evil person.
She and Sabo had gotten along with the first mate Ben Beckman as he told them the more technical parts of the ship like navigation and transponder snails-something that fascinated her in this world.
Of course, Luffy being Luffy had eaten a Devil Fruit, a mystery fruit with powers, turning him rubber man. Ace being Ace made fun of his powers, making the rubber boy vow to make it the most coolest powers ever.
Bandits had to come down and mess things up, which ended up with Luffy being kidnapped and the pirate crew saving him. Shanks unfortunately lost his arm and he and Luffy made a promise to met when he was a famous pirate and gave him his hat. Lyarra never though she would admire anyone more than him.
Ace had gotten a dagger, Sabo had books on navigation and she received a pistol and hostler. Waving at the pirates, Lyarra had made her decision.
"Luffy, is the offer to join your crew still there?"
She wanted to be free, to have adventures, to meet new people. To do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. To be her own person. The Red-Hair pirates simply showed her that being a pirate wasn't all that bad.
...
Everything settles back to their routine after the pirates leave. Except every one is much more determined to get stronger. Pirates like Shanks are real pirates, ones they want to be. No needless killing, or hurting innocents, just being free and doing whatever you want.
They all want to be free. Its a dream they share, that's bonded them. Ace gets the idea to share a cup of sake, sake that he stole from Dadan, and become brothers and sisters. To become a family, one that would not break even if they were on separate ships.
They're happy and content with the people around them for they are loved despite their differences, despite their backgrounds or blood in their bodies. They have each other, a family that would never leave them, abandon them like what the world seems to have done.
And then Sabo's father finds them.
Forcing the blonde to come with him to protect them. Sabo sacrificing his freedom for them, for they are much more important and Lyarra can't stop the tears that flow. This wasn't suppose to happen. They were happy and content, but now? They were broken. Ace is angriest. He's the eldest and she knows he feels like he's failing them, but she knows he isn't.
Bluejam offers them a job. She cannot accept as she has to head back, but Ace accepts for himself and Luffy. She gives them both a strong hug, whispering everything will be alright and then leaves.
When she returns days later and makes her way to the bandit hut, she has a gut feeling. A feeling telling her to go to town first. She doesn't know why, but she does and she's glad she did.
A noble is on a ship and seems to be firing at a small boat. Looking closer, the boat belongs to Sabo who is trying to put out the flames. Without thinking, she jumps into the water and in record time swims up to him, pulling him away before they are hit head on by another shot.
Holding the unconscious blonde, having hit his head on a piece of wood, Lyarra swims with all her might and manages to pull them out on land. Far, far away from the docks. Breathing slightly, she is never more so glad of the swimming lessons the eldest two had taught her.
Looking down at her brother, she winces when she sees the burnt marks, probably from the first shot. Although she doesn't have any bandages, she uses his coat to patch him up as best as she could and then hauling him on her back makes it back to the bandits.
Its a long way up and takes almost the entire day. People will get worried back in Winterfell she knows, but Sabo is much more important. She can deal with them later. She arrives at an unexpected sight: Ace tied to a tree cursing and Luffy besides him crying.
Lyarra is tired and hungry but she smiles at their gaping faces. Sabo is taken and patched up properly and she explains to them what had happened. She doesn't want to leave, but must and in her tired state go back.
Her father is worried and asks her where she was and simply told him in the forest training and lost track of time and apologizes for worrying him. He accepts and that is when she gets an explanation about her gut feeling.
A Wolf's Instinct.

Lyarra Snow is ten when she feels real hatred.
Although Lyarra spends a lot of time with her bonded brothers, she never neglected her siblings. Robb and her were still close even when he learned of her bastered status. Little Sansa tries to imitate her mother and is adorably cute when she smiles at her, asking to braid flowers in her hair like a princess.
But its Arya that steals her heart. Little Arya that follows her everywhere, whose first word was 'Lya' and excited babble. Her father smiles happily giving them both a hug, while Lady Stark face is cold as ice, anger itched everywhere.
Lyarra has stopped caring a long time ago about the woman, completely ignoring her. It infuriates the red head she knows and it makes her happy. Of course the woman wants to try other ways to send her off but seems to hold back, but Lyarra doesn't care and is quite content in ignoring her entire existence.
Until she falls ill.
She is much stronger due to being in different environment most of the time and her training, so she drifts in and out of conscious. Lady Starks seems to be besides her, taking care of her and she is suspicious. Why does this woman all of a sudden care?
Her answer is horrifying. The woman is praying for her death. Lady Stark is a pious woman and if she is praying then its something she believes will be true. She knows the woman hates her, but to this extent?
Her father comes in and cries at the state she is in. Maester Luwin says that she might not live and she wants to cry. She didn't even do all the things she wanted to do yet. She wasn't free! So she prays tot he Old Gods for her health. She prays and prays and surprisingly the next time she hears the woman-for she doesn't deserve to be called Lady Stark-she too is praying for her health.
She gets better and her father spoils her a bit. So does Robb, with Arya and Bran keeping her company whenever they can, Arya a bit more successful. Unfortunately Sansa is a lot more like her mother than in looks and begins keeping her distance when she is told what a bastered is. She is heart broken, still seeing the little girl that asked her about princes and princess and beautiful crown flowers.
She might have lost Sansa, but she had Robb, Arya, Bran and her father as well as her other three brothers. She is quite happy.
The woman doesn't see her, but when their eyes meet Lyarra snarls in hatred and the red head backs away in fear and pales. The woman knows she knows.
That's good.
...
The four siblings grow close after the Fire of Grey Terminal and Sabo's near death. They stay away from the upper town and simply hunt in the forest or the newly repopulated Grey Terminal. If they wanted anything they'd go to Fuusha village.
Makino tells her everything she needs to know about a growing girl. The clothes she wears in this world and the ones she wears back home are different. These ones are more open, more comfortable, ones that wouldn't be seen as appropriate back at home, but she doesn't care.
They have decided to set sail when they are seventeen. To live life to the fullest without any regrets. She believes this is the reason why she brings Arya to this world with her.
They had long since experimented with the circle and writings. Some she understood as High Valyrian, others not so much. The circle was runes after she had looked through an old book in the library. It had got her thinking. If it was runes, and it used magic did it mean that she could warg as well?
Yes, yes she could.
Unless she is holding on to them, then the other person can't crossover. The first time the boys went over to her world, they had fallen in love with the snow. They don't go too far but do decided that once in the future that they would come to her world and travel to places unknown.
Arya asks her where she keeps disappearing to, where she learns how to fight, for she teaches her sister that is so similar to her how to fight in secret. The boys agree with bringing her over and she is delighted that they get along.
Her little sister is in awe at everything she sees, never once doubting her when she tells her that they are in a different world. They spend the entire day there and little Arya is quite happy and content and so is she.
Now she has someone to talk about these things to and its none other than her favorite sister. Not only does she teach her how to fight though, but also trains her on an academic level. Arya is wild and carefree like her, but she listens to her and her father shows surprise that his wild youngest actually sits and reads.
Women in her world are treated horribly and she can't bear to see her little sister in such a state, her wild personality chained, so she teaches her everything she can, wanting her to be independent for when she is gone and Arya knows this, for there are no secrets in between the two.
So when little Bran becomes lonely, they decided to include his as well. She and Robb are not that close anymore after he used her bastered status against her when they were playing with the other children. She had never felt more betrayed and although he apologized, she could never love him as the amazing older brother she had before.
...
Her closeness with her two youngest siblings is probably why she discovers something shocking.
They hunt in their own forest, their father allowing them when he saw in amazement how well they hunted. They sit around the little fire they had made, roasting the meat they had caught and telling stories, mostly her telling them about her exploits around Grey Terminal.
It is these peaceful times that she loves, away from Winterfell and around those she loves. Arya and Bran are wild and free, both strong and powerful. Bran himself could actually warg in to multiple animals at once inventing a spy game. They caught a lot of spies around the castle.
Both being wild and free it wasn't surprising that they would tackle her in a hug, one that she would gladly return, but she was always prepared for them. She had very good observation skills and they got better over the years. This time she was distracted by looking over the meat, whether it was ready or not.
Falling into the fire was probably frighting, giving their screams, but even more so when she never felt anything. Her sleeve caught on fire and practically burn her arm as she was wear a thin fabric. But she didn't feel any thing.
"What are you doing?" Arya exclaimed, seeing her older sister stick her hand into the fire.
"I-I don't feel anything." she said in surprise, taking her hand out and showing it to them.
There was nothing. No burnt marks, no scotches, or even heat. The three children looked at one another and then the youngest two grabbed her arm and stuck it in the fire and then pulling it back out. Repeatedly.
"Why am I not burning?!" she had every right to freak out. She wasn't burning! She didn't even feel the heat. She just felt warm.
"A dragon does not burn." Bran whispered and the girl's look at him with wide eyes. That was impossible. That would mean she was a Targaryen, that her father bedded with one and there were no female Targaryen besides Queen Rhaella.
They keep silent about what they discover but all three could always be found in the library or asking Maester Luwin questions about the war. They learn new things like the banner men weren't call for their Aunt Lyanna's abduction but because the Mad King wanted their father's head as well as Robert Baratheon's. Jon Arryn wasn't going to hand over is foster children.
Their aunt was simply integrated along the way. They also learn that she was brought back from Dorne by her father with the remains of his sister. It began making a picture that she didn't want to be true, but the final nail was when the Maester told them that Prince Rhaegar had named their aunt Queen of Love and Beauty. That was when Lyarra knew she had to stop lying to herself, because the truth was right there.
She was never a Stark, but a Targaryen.
Lyarra Snow was the daughter of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.
...
Learning that she could possibly be a child born of rape was not a very settling news. Her siblings from both worlds had done everything to cheer her up and even suggested that it might not be the case.
But what else could it be? Rhaegar was a married man for God's sake! A grown married man that couldn't control his lust towards a young girl. She wondered why her father-no uncle even brought her here, his sister's greatest shame.
Even as she walked to the Heart's tree, she felt like she was violating the place. But she also felt so connected her, so at peace, a sense of tranquility. Arya and Bran wouldn't leave her alone and even though she loved that they were worried about her, she needed some time to herself.
She placed her hand on the tree and wishing so much to know what really happened. Why would the gentle prince, for apparently Rhaegar was a beloved prince, do such a terrible thing. Why would her uncle claim her as his own? Why, why, why? She had so many question and no answers.
And then her world spins and she finds herself in what seemed to be in front of a Sept. Two people were there, dressed a beautiful clothes. A wedding perhaps.
"Perhaps I could help shed some light young one."
She meets the Bloodraven and he shows her what really happened, her real origins, of the promise that was made between two siblings.
Lyarra feels like she should be happy, relieved that she isn't a rape child, or a bastered at all. But she feels anger. At her father who so selfishly put aside his wife and children for someone else and watched his Kingdom burn, at her mother, who didn't even bother to leave a note and had caused the death of her brother and father.
But on top of that she felt sorrow. Sorrow for the man who gave up the most. Robert Baratheon might have married a woman he didn't want, but he became King. Jon Arryn had become the King's Hand. But her father?
Eddard Stark was forced to marry a woman when he had already promised himself to another, was forced to become Warden of the North something he had no training in, forced to take care of his selfish sister's child as her dying breath, and forced to stain his honor to keep that promise. To risk his life to hide a Targaryen.
But even so he loved her. He loved her as his own child, that she already knew and had seen again. It might have started off as a promise, but she knew he would go to war to protect her. So she wept, and cried over the sacrifices her father, for Eddard Stark would always be her father, and promised to never do the same.
She was still going to set sail with Luffy and become a pirate, but her father deserved to know and she would tell him.
When she wakes up, she is slumped against the tree with something licking her face. Looking closer, she notices that its a white wolf. A direwolf to be exact. She smiles at Bloodraven's gift and names him Ghost. Raising her head up high, her posture proud, she walks out to find her siblings knowing who she was.
Visenya Targaryen, trueborn daughter of Rhaegar and Lyanna, died in the Tower of Joy. She was Lyarra Snow, bastered daughter to the honorable Eddard Stark and damn proud of it.
And if Eddard Stark receives more hugs from his eldest daughter, he simple smiles and hugs back tightly.

Everyone has a breaking point. Lyarra reaches hers when she is fourteen.
She is beautiful, she knows it and doesn't hide it. The Beauty of Winterfell is what she is called. Far more Stark than most of the trueborn children. The woman doesn't like it, but holds her tongue.
Arya is made fun of by Sansa and her friends and she sticks up for her. They are afraid of her she knows and doesn't care. Her little sister is insecure about her looks and Lyarra doesn't know why. They're both said to look like their aunt Lyanna and she tells her such. She's still young, but when she grows she'll have boys lusting after her as they are doing to her now.
The boys don't approach her though. If its because of her father's stern face or her own battle prowess she doesn't know. Although she has taken to using a using daggers instead of a pipe, she is still proficient in using a sword and none of the boys can beat her and it infuriates them. Not Robb and not Theon, the Greyjoy hostage.
Ser Rodrick is amazed and her father proud, she knows that he is seeing his sister in her and smiles.
She continues to train Arya and Bran but makes sure to spend time with Rickon, the newest Stark. He is as wild as the other two and once he escapes the watchful eyes of his mother always runs to her.
Although she trains Bran outside, her training of Arya is a secret. Their father knows and lets them go with an amused smiled. Her mother doesn't know for the woman has a set way on how woman are suppose to be. Fighting was not one of them.
They were never caught over the years which was probably why she had become laxed. Someone had seen them and when they had returned, the woman was there, her face as red as her hair. She began yelling things at her but Lyarra had this bored expression and just ignored what the woman was saying. Until she said something she shouldn't have.
"...just like your mother. A useless whore that aims too high, spreading her legs."
The entire area was silent, many looking at the woman is shock and disbelief. Lyarra stared at her in anger because although she didn't quite like Lyanna Stark, she wouldn't let people bad mouth her. The woman didn't seem to register the danger she was in for she raised her hand to slap her. She caught it easily and only then saw the fury on her face, if the paling was anything to go by.
Everyone had a breaking point, this was hers.
"You fucking bitch."
People tried to get her off the woman, but none succeed and she kept cussing with every punch. Only her father had, after forcefully picking her up and removing her. The woman was completely covered in blood. She is satisfied and others quickly take her to the maester.
Her father sends her to her room. He's angry, she can tell but she doesn't know at who. Once she cools down in her room, Lyarra realizes that she can no longer stay here. She had caused her father problems, something she had promised to never do. Leaving would be for the best, as it wouldn't force him to do something he'd regret.
Getting some paper, she begins writing a letter. She'll explain to him everything to the best of her abilities and tell him not go looking after her, that she'd be fine. That she knows who she is and apologizes for her selfish parents.
Arya sneaks in with Bran through the window and both don't blame her for her reaction. They both know who she is, her status as a princess and all and she tells them of her plan to leave for good. Ace and Sabo had already left on their adventure and she doesn't like leaving Luffy on his own.
They understanding, being the wonderful little siblings, for they would always be her siblings and not cousins. She hands Bran her note and Arya helps her pack. They arrange that once a week they'd meet in the cave where she'd bring them over and spend the day. Before she is summoned, she and Ghost leave through the secret tunnels and go back to the cave.
Luffy is surprised to see her, but also happy. He hugs her and they sleep in the tree house they had built before, the first time sleeping in this world. They wake up hunt, raid the Grey Terminal, a couple of dine and dashes as well as spars and Lyarra never feels so much more freer than this.
She buys more clothes and finds more daggers in case something happens to the ones she has. She wears a blue flower clip in her hair, one that her brothers had bought her. They each had a hat; Luffy's straw hat, Sabo's top hat and Ace's cowboy hat, but Lyarra didn't want a hat. When she heard about her mother having a flower in her hair, the boys got her a clip with a large blue flower that somewhat looked like the winter rose. She always wore it. It was like their thing.
She also took to wearing black shorts, a purple shoulder-less top that showed a bit of her belly and sandals with laces going up to a bit above her ankles. Her hair was normally tied up in a ponytail with curls and a side bang with her clip. She had her daggers strapped on her as well as the pistol in its hostler the one that Ben Beckman has given her.
Arya and Bran always came over at the designated times. Arya and Luffy always hit it off, both being wild and free and she and Bran would sit quietly and read the books they found. They had told her what had happened after she had left as well.
Their father had read her letter and cried. Arya being Arya began telling him everything her mother had done to her, things she didn't want to bother him with. A missed meal here, low clothes there and her room being in the servant quarters when he had gone off to the Greyjoy rebellion.
The woman had sustained damaged, of course, and was still recovering, but their father showed her no compassion. He didn't have guards look for her, just as she asked and she was thankful. Sansa was being her bitchy self and though she could gang up on Arya now that she wasn't there.
It got her a bloody nose, the message quite clear.

Lyarra was seventeen when she had officially began her journey.
She and Luffy trained intensively during the past three years and believed themselves to be quite ready. Everything was in their small boat, because it was what Ace and Sabo started off with and they wanted to as well. Ghost, having grown massive was also there.
Luffy wore his usual red vest, blue shorts and sandals and she wore the same things as she always did, but now she had a tattoo on her arm, ASLL. It was their initials, for their family. She had it styled so that it had everyone's signature hat on, and hers had a blue rose.
They said good bye to Arya and Bran the day before and were now saying their good bye to the bandits, Makino, the Mayor and the rest of the village they were acquainted with.
"Bye everyone! The nest time you see me I'll be the King of the Pirates!" Luffy exclaimed and she smiled at his conviction. She didn't know why, but she believed him when he said it. When Luffy put his mind to something, she knew he'd do it.
"Goodbye everyone! Thanks for everything!" she waved and then untied the boat.
Of course not everything can go smoothly, as the King of the Coast, the one that took Shank's arm had come out before them. The people gasped, startled, but the siblings shared a grin. Luffy had already declared he would take care of it.
"Gum Gum Pistol."
The Sea King was knocked out and Lyarra thought back to when her brother had declared his punches would be as strong as a pistol. So much time had passed since then and as she stared out to the sea for their new adventure, she couldn't help but be thankful for the cave that brought her her.
Without it, Lyarra Snow wouldn't have lived.
So, how was it? Good, bad? Didn't make sense? Hope you enjoy!
