Eleven Years

"Wow!" Lami exclaimed as she stared out at the large mangroves they were docked at. Bubbles floated up over the island. "We finally made it!"

"So this is the Sabaody Archipelago," Ika said. "Those trees are so huge! Look at them!"

"You two can be so childish," Fugu said.

"Oh, hush," Lami said. "It's my birthday!"

"It is not," Fugu said. "It's only the day you were found by the captain."

"Same thing," Lami said. "It's not like we know when my actual birthday is."

"Fine," Fugu said. "I don't feel like arguing today."

"Why? You sick?" Lami looked back at the man. She studied his face, trying to determine if he was ill or not. "You're face is still so ugly I can't tell."

"I'm going to ignore that. Besides you're still grounded. It's not like you're going to have a lot of fun anyway," Fugu said. "Captain, if I'm not needed I'm going to go find something to drink."

"Go ahead," Law said. "I'm going to scope out what pirates are here for a while."

"See you later then," Fugu said before heading for the island.

"Can we get some ice cream?" Lami asked.

"After lunch," Law said.

"Okay," Lami said. The pirates climbed down the ladder and headed into the large trees. It didn't take them long to find the town that was close by. Most of the crew took off to fill their time with whatever activity they felt like doing while Penguin, Shachi, and Bepo stayed with her and Law. They entered into a restaurant. She scanned her eyes around the area, seeing who all were pirates and who all were civilians. She also noticed that a lot of the people here were bounty hunters.

"Do not go wondering off here," Law said. "There're far too many troublesome people here. And your powers are still messing up."

"I won't," Lami said. She meant it. After the trouble she got in with the wolves, she didn't want go get grounded again. Nor did she want to end up as some animal's dinner. "I promise."

After eating the group headed back outside to watch the fights going on around the island. One man in particular was one she's heard about. And that was X Drake. He was a man who ate a rare zoan type devil fruit. He noticed them sitting there when her dad asked how many people he's kill.

Lami grew bored after that. "Can we please go do something else?"

"Fine." Law stood up. They headed off to other parts of the island.

Lami's eyes ran all over their surroundings until they landed on the amusement park. "There it is! Come on! Let's have some fun while we're here!"

"You're still grounded," Law said.

"But it's my birthday." Lami pouted at him. "Surely that allows me some fun time."

Law sighed. "Fine. But only for two hours. We're not here for amusement."

"Yeah!" Lami jumped into the air. She then grabbed Penguin's arm and ran towards the park. "Let's go!"

They rode multiple rides and ate several snacks in their two hour fun time limit before Law finally said it was time to go.

"That was so much fun." Lami licked her ice cream cone as they left the park.

"There you are," someone said.

The crew looked up to find a large man standing in their way.

"Who's this guy?" Shachi asked.

"Part of the amusement park probably," Penguin said.

"I don't think so," Bepo said sniffing the air. "He doesn't smell like the park. He smells like damp wood, stones, and…something else. I'm not sure what though."

Lami knitted her eyebrows. Something distantly familiar about this guy entered into her mind. But she wasn't sure why. She knew she had never seen this man before.

"You have no idea how long I have been looking for you," he said.

"Me?" Lami pointed at herself when he looked at her.

"Of course you," the man said. "The name's Hagrid. And I have been searching for you for a long time, Potter."

"Potter? My name is Trafalgar Lami," Lami said.

"That's right," Hagrid said. "Dumbledore informed me of that before I left. Sorry. I'm not use to that name. It might take me awhile to get it right."

"Who are you?" Penguin asked.

"I told you. I'm Hagrid," Hagrid said. "I came here since, uh, Lami didn't seem to get her acceptance letter to Hogwarts."

"Acceptance letter?" Law asked.

"It's a school for magical beings," Hagrid said. "At age eleven kids are invited to come to Hogwarts and learn how to hone their magical skills."

"So that's what that letter was," Lami said. "It was really for me. I thought it was a mistake."

"Letter?" Law looked down at her.

"There was a letter in my room a while ago," Lami said. "It was address to me and some Potter person. I thought it was a mistake so I threw it away."

"I assure you it wasn't a mistake," Hagrid said. "You have some powerful magic. And you need to go to Hogwarts to learn how to control it properly."

"Look, Large Man," Lami said. "I have no idea who you are, but I'm not interested in your school. So just go away."

"That won't do," Hagrid said. "Your magic is started to grow out of control."

"How do you know that?" Law gripped his sword, ready to fight if necessary.

"Have you been following us?!" Penguin demanded. He and the others shifted into defense mode.

"Not at all," Hagrid said. "Dumbledore was the one who located her when her magic reached all the way out to Hogwarts. Because of the amount of magic you have it took months to actually pinpoint your location. And then when you didn't reply to the letter he sent me out to get you."

"I already told you," Lami said. "I'm not going to your dumb school of whatever it is. I'm staying with my family!"

"That won't do at all," Hagrid said. "You have to come."

"You heard her." Law pulled out his sword and aimed it right at Hagrid's throat. "She's not leaving us. And we're going now."

"Come on," Penguin said. Slipping his arm around her shoulders he guided her away from the stranger. The rest followed.

Lami glanced back over her shoulder. The man was gone. "Where did he go?"
"What do you mean?" Bepo asked.

"That guy is gone," Lami said. "How can someone that big just disappear like that?"

"Who cares?" Law said. "He was trying to take you away. He's luck I didn't kill him for that."

Lami faced forward. Her mind spun with the fact that letter was for her and that people were looking for her. But who exactly were they? And how did they even manage to find her in the first place? Could this Hagrid person led her to finding her birth parents? Her heart hammered against her chest. Was it possible her parents were still alive? Did they still want her? Did they send him? Or did they abandon her because they didn't want her? She shook her head. It didn't matter. Law and the crew was her family. Nothing and no one was going to take that away.

…

"Ugh. Do we really have to come here?" Lami said before popping the last of her ice cream cone into her mouth. She stared up at the building they had stopped in front of. It was a human auction house. She was aware of them but had never seen one before, until now. "It's not like we're going to buy anyone. Or we had better not be."

"No, we're just checking the place out," Law said leading them inside. They found a place a few rows down from the top and sat down.

Lami stuck her tongue out at everyone inside. She hated them already for just being here. "Stupid morons."

"So they are," Penguin said.

Lami glanced up at him. He was standing on her left side. Law was sitting on her right side while Bepo and Shachi were sitting behind them. It didn't take much longer before the auction started. She watched in complete boredom and disgust as the auction got going. The other people here cheered when slaves were brought out onto the stage. She had no idea how people could treat others like this. She wanted to free them all. But with her orbs acting up she knew she wouldn't be able to.

Something caused her to glance over her shoulder. Her body shivered when she spotted a familiar looking redhead leaning against the back wall with his crew. "That's Captain Kid of the Kid Pirates."

"Yup," Law said before flipping the other pirate captain off.

"You can be so crude," Lami said.

Law just smiled.

Their attention turned back to the front of the auction house. Boredom was settling in when a sudden panic rushed through the house. Looking over her shoulder she found a couple Celestial Dragons had walked into the room.

"Better look away," Law said.

"I'm not afraid of them." Lami turned back around. "They're stupid cowards anyway."

"True," Law said as the Celestial Dragons walked past them. "But we still have to be careful. I don't want them taking you away."

"That will never happen," Lami said. "I'd kill them before they could even get me away from your side. If I didn't kill them you would."

Law smiled. It was true.

The auction began. Lami sighed. The people that were being paraded out onto the stage looked so miserable. She wished there was something she could do to help them. But there wasn't. There were too many people to fight. Plus the Navy was near. If anyone hurt the Celestial Dragons then, well, she knew the results would be disastrous. A Navy admiral would come. And that wouldn't be good being this close to the New World.

Then a third Celestial Dragon came into the room some time later. Shortly after that was when things really got interesting. The announcer was talking about the next person to buy. He was a pirate captain. And a pirate captain that just bit his tongue to try and get out of the situation he was in. The curtains were pulled. The announcer apologized for the mess by saying the pirate captain got a nosebleed. But the disaster was easily forgotten when they brought out the next item. Everyone gasped then cheered. It was a mermaid.

That's when the real trouble began. A loud bang happened in the back of the room. Turning around everyone found it was the captain of the Straw Hat pirates. Lami smiled. "Now things are getting good."

"You have a funny definition of good," Bepo said.

Lami shrugged. Sitting back she watched the carnage before her. Straw Hat Luffy ran down to the mermaid, clearly they were friends. Another man with spikey white hair grabbed onto Luffy, trying to stop him. She gasped when more arms came out from underneath the man's jacket. People screamed. He was a fishman. "It's an actual fishman."

A shot rang out into the room.

The fishman dropped to the stairs. He had been shot.

"I shot it! I shot a fishman!" the third Celestial Dragon sang as he danced around.

Lami shivered at the look that Luffy got in his eyes. He was furious as he walked back up the stairs to the Celestial Dragon who had shot the fishman. "What's he doing?"

"Is he serious?" Penguin asked.

"He's going to hit that Celestial Dragon," Shachi said.

"This isn't going to be good," Bepo said.

Then it happened. No one could believe it as Luffy pulled back and punched the Celestial Dragon. The Celestial Dragon when flying back. His body crashed and tore apart several seats in the house. Total pandemonium erupted. People from the auction house ran out. Workers from the auction house started battling against the Straw Hats. Then suddenly the wall on the stage started to crumble, it was caused by a giant. An old man with long white hair and glasses walked out onto the stage.

"Hey, isn't that?" Lami asked looking at the old man. She's seen his bounty poster before.

"Dark King Silvers Rayleigh," Law said.

"Is he a friend of that fishman?" Lami asked as she watched the events unfold. Rayleigh knocked several of the men out with just a look after learning what happened. Then he somehow managed to remove the explosive collar from the mermaid without killing her. The old man let Franky from the Straw Hats carry the mermaid while he attended to his fishman friend.

"We need to get out of here," Chopper said.

"The Navy's going to be coming," Nami said.

"I hate to tell you, Straw Hat," Law said. "But the Navy's already here."

"Who the heck are you?" Luffy asked.

"Ah, you're Trafalgar Law," Robin said. "Hey, Luffy, they're pirates like us."

"Even the bear?" Luffy asked.

"And the guy in back is Eustass Captain Kid," Robin said.

"Hey, come out with your hands up!" a marine said from the outside. "And don't blame us for what happens to you, rookies!"

"So what do we do now?" Lami asked.

"Sorry but I've used my powers enough for the day," Rayleigh said. "I can't help you now."

"I don't need help from a senior citizen, old man," Kid said as he headed for the door. "If you babies can't handle a few marines then sit here. I'll take care of it."

That was something that didn't sit well with her dad or Luffy.

"Does he really have to fight right now?" Lami asked when Law got up and followed after Kid with Luffy. "We're so close to a Navy headquarters. And now we're being treated as accomplices with the Straw Hats."
"He'll be fine," Penguin said. "For now let's get away from his area."

"Fine." Lami stood up. Leaving their seat they headed back up the stairs. But something caught her eyes.

"What is it, Lami?" Shachi asked

"Oh, you are so cute!" Lami said to the little animal on the Straw Hat crew.

"Hey! Don't call me cute, you jerk!" Chopper said wiggling his body. "You can't flatter me like that!"

"He looks flattered to me," Penguin said.

"Yeah." Bepo and Shachi nodded.

Lami laughed when the small animal twisted his body in an odd way and blushed. "And you're so funny. I'm Trafalgar Lami."

"Trafalgar? You're related to Law?" Chopper asked.

"Yeah!" Lami nodded. "He's my dad and captain of the Heart Pirates."

"What?!" Nami gasped. "You're his kid?"
"Adopted, anyway," Lami said. "He found me when I was a baby."

"Oh," Chopper said. "So you're a pirate then."

"Sure am." Lami smiled.

"Hey, Lami," Penguin called. "Get up here with us. We'll be leaving soon."

"Coming! Well, see you later," Lami said with a wave. She ran up to meet the rest of her crew before they all headed outside.

Yes, I'm lazy and didn't write everything in the auction house out. We all know what happens there. And this isn't about that anyway.
