Prologue

Taking a pen from the table a small girl with sea green hair plopped down on her bed. After the chores assigned to her were all accomplished, it was time for her retire back to her chambers. Not to mention it had been a while since she had written in her diary, which she pulled from underneath her bed.

Opening it she began—

' Dear Diary,

I've been aboard Captain Eiwamoto's ship for a year now...and haven't had much time to write. Sorry for that.

You know, I'm used to trading animals and stuff...but I didn't know you could trade people. Papa did, Papa sold me to the Captain, he said it was to keep the family alive. He said that gold was worth more than a couple of children if it meant survival.

I don't understand...before Mom passed away a year ago she said that life was more important than money. I guess people have different outlooks on life. I like Mom's better though.

But I'm doing everything I'm supposed to and Captain said he was proud of my hard work..so I guess I'm doing good. I don't know how he looks at life but I hope I'm not sold to anyone else every again.

Oh...I guess I should stop and go to bed, I have a hard day tomorrow..like everyday but I'm managing.

Momo'

Putting her diary back under her bed she blew out the candle and settled in—pulling the blankets over her head Momo began to cry. No matter how she tried to hide it, she wanted nothing to do with pirates...or her father.

" One day..." whimpered the child." I'll escape...one day..."

Disclaimer! One Piece is not mine but I love it! lol

Not much of a begining but it'll have to do because...well it has to. Momo is 11 in the prologue but when it begins she's 24. She doesn't write in her journal too often so you won't have to suffer through that. lol But she will on occasions!
