"Come on Luffy Shanks is here!" I called my brother as I ran out of the house and to the docks.
"Wait Kiyo you are to fast!" Luffy called as he chased after me.
"Are you saying I'm faster than you, oh great pirate king?" I taunted with a giggle as he started to run faster.
"As if!" He shouted and passed me huffing and I ran to a where a couple of crates were and ran up them and jumped off rolling on the ground in front of my brother where I stood up and beat him to the dock where Shanks was standing waiting for us.
"HaHa! Looks like I win again Luffy." I laughed as I stop in front of Shanks waiting for my older brother.
"No fair! You cheated!" Luffy screeched while pointing at me accusingly.
"Did not, I just used my resources to beat you," I said as I stuck my tongue out at him.
"HaHa! She's right Luffy she beat you fair and square." Shanks laughed as he ruffled our hair and lead us onto his ship. I grinned and Luffy pouted before he grinned and ran off. I tilted my head confused before I saw him climb up onto the figurehead of the ship.
"Luffy what are you doing up there!" I called to him.
"Hmph, I'm not joking this time! I've had enough! I'll prove it to you all to see!" Luffy yelled holding up a knife as I looked at him worried.
HaHaHa, go for it! Let's see what you're going to do!" Shanks encouraged him.
"Luffy is going to do something funny again!" Someone yelled and suddenly Luffy stabbed himself under his left eye.
"LUFFY!" I yelled as Shanks was quick to grab him and patch him up and we all walked into the Party's Bar where Shanks' crew likes to go. "Luffy why would you do that?" I asked him confused.
"To prove I can be a pirate." He said and I stared at him with a blank look.
"That's the dumbest thing you've ever said," I told him bluntly and he blanched.
"To Luffy"s craziness!" Lucky Roo cheered.
"Ah, it didn't hurt one bit." Luffy lied with tears in his eyes.
"Liar! Don't do anything so stupid again!" Shanks and I yelled at him as I crossed my arms.
"I'm not afraid of pain at all, next time take me out to sea! I want to be a pirate too!" Luffy yelled out and I smiled.
"What about you Kiyomi? What do you want to do?" Shanks asked me.
"I going to be a marine admiral and surpass my grandpa," I told him with a grin and he ruffled my hair.
"Hopefully you will be a little lenient to your friends when you do become an admiral," Shanks said with hope in his eyes as he stared at me.
"Don't worry Shanks I'm not going to be a mean marine like the ones I see when grandpa takes me to HQ with him. I will only arrest those who are bad pirates." I told him with a close eyed smile and he breathed a sigh of relief as he turned to Luffy.
"You can't handle being a pirate Luffy not being able to swim is a pirates biggest weakness. At least little Kiyomi can swim." Shanks laughed at him.
"As long as I stay on board the ship I'll be fine. Kiyomi can rescue me if I fall into the water. Besides my fighting is pretty good." Luffy argued as Makino handed me some apple juice.
"Luffy I won't always be around to save you if you fall in the water if I'm out being a marine," I told him as I sipped my juice.
"I've trained rigorously. My punch is like pistol fire. And with Kiyomi by my side, we will be unstoppable. She's really fast and can distract the enemy while I attack." Luffy told Shanks as he ignored what I said and I huffed as Shanks rolled his eyes.
"Pistol? Wow really?" Shanks asked him bored and I giggled at how he riled up my brother.
"But Luffy and I have really trained hard although I think I still need to improve, maybe learn to use a weapon," I said and trailed off thinking of what weapon to use.
"See Luffy Kiyo knows she still needs to improve." Shanks laughed as Luffy growled at him.
"A pirates life is so great!" The crew encouraged and Luffy grinned excitedly.
"Don't give them dumb ideas you guys," Shanks told them and they looked confused.
"Captain, why don't you take them with us this time?" Roo asked.
"Yeah, it's not a big deal." Another guy said.
"Well, the next time two of you get off and let them take your place," Shanks told them.
"No need I already said I would wait a while longer before leaving the island so I can train and besides I already said I am going to be a marine admiral," I told them with a grin.
"Aww, little Kiyomi is so cute with how dedicated she is to being a marine." The crew cued at me making me blush bright red and cover my face.
"S-shut up!" I shouted causing them to laugh.
"Too bad she doesn't want to be a pirate she would get a high bounty for sure once she got out to sea." The crew complained but also complimented.
"Yeah, Luffy how about you train more before becoming a pirate." They told him.
"Traitors!" Luffy yelled at them as they went back to drinking.
"The most important thing is that you are still a kid. Wait another ten years before I consider taking you out to sea, ok Luffy?" Shanks asked Luffy and I nodded agreeing with Shanks.
"Darn it, Shanks, I am not a kid anymore!" Luffy told him and Shanks handed him a glass of apple juice like mine.
"Thanks, Shanks!" Luffy yelled as he took a sip.
"HaHa! You are too a kid drinking juice like Kiyo!" Shanks laughed while I drank my Juice happily.
"What a dirty trick!" Luffy yelled at him.
"Captain you seem as happy as ever," Makino stated as she handed me a plate of food.
"Thank you Makino-chan." I thanked her and she patted my head.
"Yeah making fun of him is my joy," Shanks told her.
"Shanks you should take it easy on my Onii-chan," I told him while giving him my best puppy eyes.
"Alright, alright Kiyo I'll take it easy on Luffy just stop with the puppy eyes, you are killing me." Shanks relented and looked away making me smile as Makino got Luffy a plate of food. While Shanks was telling us how much longer he would stay Luffy tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hmm?" I asked and he pointed to two chests that had fruits in them. We walked over to them and Luffy grabbed the purple one and I grabbed the red one with blue swirls. I took a bite and blanched. I swallowed the piece and put it down.
"Excuse me!" A new voice called making me look towards the door. "Hehe, so this is what pirates look like, huh? This is the first time I've seen pirates, they look pretty dumb to me." The man said making me frown. He walked up to the bar counter where Shanks was and addressed Makino. "We are Bandits. We are not here to cause any trouble we just wanna buy 10 barrels of sake." He told her.
"I'm so sorry but we are out of sake," Makino told the man.
"Oh, that's strange. Then what are they drinking?" He asked gesturing to the crew.
"It's sake but that's all we have," Makino told him.
"I'm sorry looks like we finished all the sake here. Here if you don't mind. Take the last bottle." Shanks offered the man and suddenly the man smashed it against Shanks getting him all wet.
"Don't take me so lowly one bottle is not enough. My head is worth 8 million berri. I'm one of the prime fugitives here and I've killed 56 people before, you cocky bastard. Later you bunch of chickens." He said as he left.
"Are you alright Shanks?" I asked him as Makino tended to him.
"HaHaHa, our captain looked so silly." The crew and Shanks laughed.
"Why are you laughing?!" Luffy yelled at them. "That was disgraceful! Why didn't you fight him! So what if they have more people?! Who laughs after getting picked on. You're not a man and not a pirate either!" Luffy yelled at Shanks.
Luffy that's not nice." I told him and he was glaring at Shanks.
"Look I know how you feel but it's just a bottle of sake. There is nothing to get so worked up about." Shanks told him.
"I don't want to see you again, coward!" Luffy yelled at him and went to walk off.
"Oh come on don't go Luffy," Shanks said and grabbed his arm but Luffy kept walking and his arm... stretched.
"Luffy!" I yelled in panic and felt my body go cold in shock.
"His arm is stretching!" The crew yelled in shock.
"Kiyomi! You're turning into ice! They yelled and I looked down to see my body being covered in ice.
"Ahh!" I yelled in panic
"They're gone! The Rubber-Rubber fruit and the Half-Half fruit!" Someone yelled.
"Luffy, Kiyomi did you two eat these fruits!?" They asked.
"Yeah, but they tasted really bad!" I screamed. "Shanks what do I do!" I yelled at him as I kept looking at my ice-covered hands.
"Just calm down Kiyomi!" He yelled at me.
"How am I supposed to calm down when I'm covered in ice!" I yelled at him and felt myself becoming hot.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry but please calm down or you're going to burn the bar down!" Shanks told me and I realized I was now on fire.
"Kiyomi if you calm down I'll give you a slice of the strawberry shortcake you love so much." Makino offered and I calmed down instantly.
"Really, Makino-chan?" I asked her with my eyes sparkling.
"Of course." She said and I grinned and realized the flames were gone.
"Kiyomi that was a devil fruit so now you can't swim but you gained the powers of ice and fire," Shanks told me.
"I guess that I will have to train myself to control this now huh," I told him with a giggle and he sighed.
Time-Skip
It's now been some time since Shanks left and I was going to meet Luffy at the bar for something to eat when I saw Makino running.
"Hey Makino where are you going, where's Luffy?" I asked her and she looked at me panicked.
"The bandits took Luffy." She told me and I ran to find him with Makino calling me back. I saw the main bandit who messed with Shanks last time holding Luffy.
"Hey let go of my Onii-chan!" I yelled in anger and the man turned to see me.
"Oh, I remember you. So this loudmouth is your brother? What a shocker." He said and I stomped my foot on the ground and my ice froze the ground where he was standing freezing him to the spot.
"What the hell?!" He yelled and dropped Luffy.
"I told you to let him go," I said with a glare as I distracted him Luffy came up behind and hit him with a stick.
"Strong brat." The man cursed and hit Luffy sending him to the floor where the other bandits held him down. One tried to grab me but I dodged him.
"Let the child go! Please! I don't know what Luffy did and I don't want to argue with you but I'm willing to pay." The mayor said and bowed before the bandit as he was stabbing as the ice trying to free himself.
"It's too late, you cant save the brat now because he makes me angry. But maybe if you give me the ice user I'll call it a fair trade, her little powers could be very useful to us bandits." He tried to bargain.
"No way will you take my sister!" Luffy yelled at them.
"I was wondering why no one welcomed us at the port. So this is why?" A voice I recognized spoke and I turned to see Shanks.
"Shanks!" I yelled in joy.
"Hello little Kiyomi, I see you learned how to control your ice." He pointed out and I grinned and nodded. "And Luffy I thought your punch was like pistol fire?" Shanks asked him.
"Shut up!" Luffy yelled at him.
"I suggest you leave right now, you get any closer and I'll shoot you."
Your life is at stake here, I'd quit pointing that gun at me." Shanks warned.
"Huh, what did you say?" The bandit asked.
"I said don't use this to scare people," Shanks told him before the man was suddenly shot by Shanks crew member Lucky Roo.
"Now you've done it you bastards! That was dirty!" A bandit yelled.
"Dirty? Don't make us laugh. We ain't saints." Benn told him.
"The people standing in front of you are pirates," Shanks told them. "Listen, well bandits, you can pour drinks on me, you can throw food at me or even spit on me I can laugh it off but, I DON'T CARE WHAT REASONS YOU HAVE! I WON'T FORGIVE ANYONE WHO MESSES WITH MY FRIENDS!" Shanks yelled at them.
"HaHaHa, you won't forgive me? You bunch of pirates who float on a ship all day want to challenge us? We will destroy you!" The bandit leader yelled and his group of bandits ran to attack Shanks. And Shanks crew member beat them all.
"Don't underestimate us, bandits. If you want to beat us you better be backed up by marines."
"Wait, wait this brat messed with us first." The bandit leader argued as I smirked at him with my arms crossed.
"It doesn't matter, after all, there's a bounty on your head," Shanks told him causing him to panic and throw a smoke bomb down and grabbed me and Luffy.
"Hey let me go!" I yelled at him as I squirmed trying to get free.
"Shut up, little brat!" He shouted as he tossed us into a small boat. "Looks like we got away, who would have thought a bandit would escape by boat!?" He laughed.
"Shanks is going to save us!" I yelled.
"You know I only took you both as hostages to get away but now I don't need you. Your powers would come in hand little missy but you fight back to much." He told us as he kicked us into the water.
"Luffy!"
"Kiyomi!" We hit the water and I couldn't form any ice as the seawater weakened me. I looked over and my eyes widened as I saw a sea king surface behind the bandit before it swallowed him and turned its gaze to us.
"Somebody help us!" Luffy yelled as it swam towards us ready to take a bite. I felt someone grab me as the monster snapped its jaws shut.
"Get lost," Shanks told the sea king with a glare making it scurry off.
"Shanks!" I cried as I clung to him with Luffy.
"Thanks, Luffy, Makino told me all about how you defended me. And Kiyomi you are so brave jumping in to help your brother in a fight." Shanks told us with a smile as we continued to cry.
"Oh come you're safe now there is no need to cry."
"But Shanks," I muttered.
"Your Arm!" Luffy yelled as the sea king had taken Shanks' arm when he saved us.
"It's nothing, just an arm, as long as you both are safe," Shanks said as he pats our heads. When we get back to shore Shanks' crew patched him up and Luffy and I got dried. The next day he was ready to leave.
"I won't force you to take me anymore Shanks I'm gonna become a pirate by myself," Luffy said and I nodded along with what he was saying.
"Heh, I wouldn't take you even if you begged me, you don't have what it takes to become a pirate." Shanks laughed at Luffy.
"I do too!" Luffy screamed.
"Kiyomi has a better chance then you!" Shanks argued.
"Then you will be glad to know that I will be joining Luffy as his Vice-Captain," I told Shanks with a smirk as I placed my hands on my hips.
"You are going to be a pirate? But what about surpassing your grandpa in the marines?" Shanks asked in surprise.
"I decided I can't ever leave Luffy alone without worrying about him so I'll just surpass grandpa in strength instead of in rank," I told Shanks as Luffy hugged me.
"Yeah we will find a crew as strong as yours one day and then we'll find the world's biggest treasure!" Luffy told him and I nodded agreeing.
"I'll be the king of the pirates with Kiyomi to help me!" Luffy yelled out.
"Oh, so you two want to be bigger than us huh?" Shanks asked, "well then this hat is my gift to you Luffy and Kiyomi you wanted to find a weapon so these twin daggers are for you." Shanks told us and he placed his hat on Luffy's head and handed me two brand new daggers. "You are fast so the daggers will work in your favor. Luffy that is my favorite hat so when you become a great pirate in the future you'll return that hat to me." Shanks told him and he turned around and walked back to his crew.
"Those kids are going to be big," Benn told Shanks.
"I know." Shanks agreed. "They remind me of my early years."
"Pull up the anchor!"
"Set sail!"
After Shanks set sail Luffy and I trained in preparation for our journey as pirates and we finally left home after 10 long years.
