Author's Note: Hello everyone, this is my very first One Piece fanfic so please be kind. I know Zolo's name should be Zorro but I have only read a few of the manga's and usually just watch the show on cartoon network. My story time lines make no sense considering the fact that neither Vivi or Robin are in the story but Chopper is but I don't know enough about Robin to add her and Vivi isn't a part of their crew (just a friend). So yes if you see anything that needs to be corrected please jest politely tell me thank you-

p.s this is a three part fanfic. So it will have three sequels kinda. This is the first book. Now enjoy.

Never Had a Dream Come True

Book One:

Blind Ambition

Chapter One:

"Scream"

"STOP!" Rika screamed as she ran the stone streets stumbling in the dirt. "HELP!" she cried desperately to an empty gray sky hoping that God would finally end this and take her life. She just couldn't let herself be killed by him. No, that would be a fate worse than death. She couldn't stand this life anymore she had to run anyway. To forget everything, even the good times just to forget what he had done. Her steps slowed down as she turned a corner into an old abandoned house. The house was very poorly made and the ceiling was leaking with rain. But it didn't matter as long as it shielded her from him.

Rika tried to catch her breath and slumped down in the muddy dirt that acted as a floor for the house. She finally began to clam down and lifted her blue-green eyes to see her surroundings. The house had a woodened table in one corner along with a stove sitting next to that and a bed on the other side of the room. Everything was caked with dust and the smell of blood and tears mixed in with the moldy odor in the one room home.

Closing her eyes she leaned back against the wall.

"Hello honey!" her mom called.

"Hi mommy" the little girl smiled. Her bright orange hair twirling behind her as she ran across the lush green grass to her mother's arms. "Is daddy coming home soon?" she asked as her mother scooped her up into a hug. "Any day now Rika" her mother answered. "I'm gonna give him the biggest hug ever when he does" Rika smiled with her eyes shiny with happiness.

"Me too" her mother said.

Just then a man with the same blue-green eyes came walking towards them. He held what looked like a treasure chest in his right hand. He wore black pants with a blood red shirt and a black bandana with a skull on it. He stopped in front of the girl and smiled. "DADDY!" Rika cried. "My little Rika" he laughed. "How's the pirate life dear? We missed you" the woman called.

He kissed her on the cheek and set the chest down. "What do you got Daddy?" Rika asked walking over towards the treasure chest.

Without warning the man grabbed the chest knocking her to the ground. She looked startled at first and then started to cry.

The woman frowned and picked up her daughter. "What is wrong with you?" she asked angrily. "Sorry" he whispered still looking at the chest. "You're mean daddy" the little girl wined. The man looked up and gave her an evil smile. "You think so?" he asked running towards her. His eyes were now fuming with malice and his smile was that of the devil. A scream filled the summer evening and tears drown the day.

Rika's eyes shot opened and shook that memory from her mind. Suddenly that same scream she had heard many years ago

filled the air once more and the house that stood as her protector was blasted into a million pieces. She had gotten out just in time and was on the ground covering her ears. Her eyes widened with fear, hatred, and tears as she stood up and turned to face the direction in which the sound had came. She forced herself to stay put. She had to face him, if not she just couldn't live with herself. She had to avenge the people he killed; she killed because he forced her. She was weak then but now maybe she could finally kill him. Her body trembled and her dirty orange hair hung over her face. This was it

Time seemed to slow as he came towards her. His feet crushing the remains of what once was a home. The man wore an evil smile and then opened his mouth. He was now 10 feet away, and didn't come any closer. Rika covered her ears again and ran at

him preparing to attack the same way he was. She was just like him now, oh how many times he had told her that. "You and I are the exactly the same we share the same power, the same blood" she could hear him taunting her with that phrase over and over again. "NO MORE" she screamed opening her mouth and releasing a blast of sonic energy. The sound of a screeching bird lingered in the air and smoke rose from the dead ground. She strained her eyes to see if she had won.

The dust cleared and 2 cm from her face she saw the same blue-green eyes as her own looking at her. She had failed. Her mouth opening but not a word came to her lips and shell feel on her knees. He smiled and bent down to stroke the side of her face with his black gloved hand. "You were my favorite warrior" he snickered. "My favorite daughter." Those words struck her harder than any whip could. Rage built up inside her but without the strength to scream she swung her arm and slapped his face. The man's smile grew and he touched the raw skin on his cheek.

"Now why would you do that to your own daddy? It looks like you're going to have to be punished" he laughed standing up.

She gritted her teeth and watched him back away a few feet.

"I love you honey" he said sweetly as he opened his mouth to release the sonic energy. "Go to Hell" she spat. His eyes glistened with amusement and he let go of his power. Rika screamed and fell to the ground as she was engulfed in a wave of sound.
