Chapter One: Arijii

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. I do own Arijii Hikara, Mrs. Jain Paiawata, Radii and the Hachi Hachi Fruit.

It was another sunny day in Air Atoll. The wind was light, the sun was shining and everything seemed well.

"Arijii dear! Time for school!" Mrs. Paiawata tried to awake a small girl.

"Five more…minutes…" The girl turned over and ignored her.

"ARIJII! WAKE UP OR YOU WON'T GET ANY DINNER FOR A WEEK!" Mrs. Paiawata screamed.

"Jeezy, okaeeee! You coulda asked nicely!" The eight year old, purple haired girl awoke from her sleep and got out of bed.

Arijii sighed as she pushed Mrs. Paiawata out of her room and got dressed. Arijii slipped on a pink hooded dress with blue pants and put on her black clogs.

Things had gotten worse. Mrs. Paiawata hated her, and she had been eight years old for six months.Although she had learned to control some of her powers, but she wasn't that great with them.

"Now go to school!" Mrs. Paiawata shoved Arijii out the door and slammed the door behind her.

"But I wanted breakfast!" Arijii cried.

Ever since her parents died, she had been put under the care of Mrs. Jain Paiawata, or as the local kids called her, the Devil Woman. It was true. Mrs. Paiawata was nice around kids when the parents were around, but once they left, she would turn evil.

"Arijii! Have you heard? There's supposed to be a ship here! Let's go see it!" Arijii's best friend, Radii, came up to her.

"Radii, we're supposed to be going to school. We don't have time to visit a ship," Arijii said, continuing to walk.

"But Arijii! It's a really cool looking ship! It's got a skull with a straw hat on it!" Radii coaxed.

"I don't know…" Arijii shuddered at the thought of what Mrs. Paiawata would do if she found out.

"It'll only be a second!" Radii pleaded.

Arijii thought for a while and said,

"But not for too long. We don't want Mr.Gata to find out!" Arijii followed her best friend to the pier.

"See! What did I tell ya! Isn't it cool?" Radii said.

Arijii stared at the huge ship. It was very big and it had the flag on it.

"Wow. It's so cool!" Arijii sighed.

"I dare ya to go on it!" Radii said.

"I dunno…I might get in trouble!" Arijii replied.

"Please? I double dog dare ya!"

Arijii sighed and said,

"Hachi Hachi Fly!" Arijii flew onto the deck, not realizing Radii was watching her.

"You…you ate a Devil Fruit! You're a freak!" Radii ran away, forgetting about Arijii.

I hate being an eight year old. At least I'm eighteen inside my mind.

"Some friend," Arijii said and continued searching the ship.

"Well, I got supplies. Now let's go!" Arijii heard voices.

"Oh no!" Arijii looked around for a place to hide. She looked in the galley and saw a barrel.

"Yes!"She barely fit into the old potato barrel and remained still and quiet as she heard voices.

"We wouldn't have to stop every two days if SOMEBODY stopped going for a midnight snack!" A masculine voice said.

"I just wanted meat!" Another voice said.

"Let's just continue sailing. Sooner we get to the Grand Line, sooner I can have some of that treasure!" A female voice excitingly said.

"I'm hungry. I'm going to get a potato," another voice headed to where Arijii was.

I'm toast.

Arijii heard the person come closer and she looked up and saw a face.

"AAAAGH!" Arijii screamed.

"AAAAAGH!" He yelled.
