Summary: She was a mage that ate a fruit when she was 10. She lost her faith in humanity when she was 6, but due to meeting Monkey D. Luffy it was restored and she was forever loyal to him. He saw her in a bar on some island. He had heard rumors of her while she worked with the group known simply as the Thirteen, so he thought it would be a good idea to get her to join his crew. Funnily enough he didn't expect her ties to her adoptive family and just who was protective of her.

Summary will be reworked, but that's it for now. Here's the chapter. Please Review! Tell me what you think of the P.O.V change between Law and Kaileara? Do you like how one chapter is mostly Kaileara and then another that's Law?

Chapter Seven: Talking about the past during lunch

I settled into a seat between Law and Shachi after getting the simple chicken soup with rice on the side my clone had made for lunch. Law spoke after a few moments, "So how exactly are you structuring meals?"

"Breakfast will be medium-slightly heavy," I answer as I took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Lunches are meant to be light while Dinners will be heavy, so no one will have to get up to get a midnight snack," He looked intrigued and I continued, "It's actually the system I had my crew use after we spent about 100,000,000 beli on food once," I ignored the shocked looks, "It actually saves money,"

"How much did you usually get?" He asked as he looked over the schedule, "These meals look fine by the way,"

I took the schedule I had made back as I answered his question, "Before the system was enacted, we usually bought around 700 crates of fruit, 600 crates of vegetables, 900 barrels of drinks, 400 crates of bread, and perhaps 902 things of protein," I saw many wide eyes at that, "I however didn't add in the mass amount of candy we bought, so don't worry about it."

"And with the system?" Law asked causing me to give a sheepish smile.

"Due to leftovers, we ended up only having to buy around 200 of each thing with protein, fruits, and Vegetables taking about 400 crates," I scratched the back of my head, "We used seals and stuff to keep things fresh and it saved us a lot of money as well," I hum softly as I took out a book and handed it to Law, "That would be the records of what we bought, where we bought it, the condition it was it, who we bought it from, and all that good stuff,"

"Hey Kaileara?" Penguin asked causing me to look at him, "How many island have you been to?"

"A lot," I answer while mentally wincing at how that sounded, "I stopped counting after the 100th island,"

"How many seas have you been to?" Shachi asked causing me to grin.

"All of them except for the All Blue," I say which gained me many a curious look, "What have you never heard of the All Blue?"

"No," Law answered as he shut the book, "Can you tell us about it?"

"Sure, but I don't really know all that much about it," I answer causing raised eyebrows to be given, "The best person to ask your questions to are people like Red-Leg Zeff," Whispers broke out, but I ignore it, "The All Blue is a sea for cooks. It's viewed as a fairytale because it's almost impossible for such an ocean to exist, but I know it's out there," My mind went back to the old chef that taught me how to cook and his perverted side kick, "It's an ocean that all fish from every blue swims together," A smile twitched onto my face as I remembered things I had forgotten, "The old man searched almost all of his life to find that damn ocean, but never found it," A soft chuckle left me as Yukina bumped her head against my arm and I looked down at her, "I got lost in my memories again didn't I?"

"Yup," She said with a soft look in her eyes.

I shook my head and gave the group a wry smile, "I apologize. I get lost in my memories sometimes."

"You know Red-Leg?" Shachi breathed causing me to nod.

"He even taught me to cook a little when I needed a place to crash," I chuckle softly, "I ended up staying there for about two months before I set out for the Grandline again,"

"Why did you go to the east blue?" Penguin asked causing me to shrug.

"Memories I guess," My fingers curled around my left arm as my arm burned, "I also had to return something..." Kiyo's paw touched my arm causing me to look into her concerned blue eyes, "Other than that, I wanted to drop by for the Pup's last birthday,"

"Makino was happy to have you back even if it was only for a little while," Yukina pipped up causing me to nod as a soft smile appeared on my face.

"Yeah," I shook my head lightly, "We're definitely going to swing back there to see her again,"

Kiyo nodded and Shachi asked, "Who's Makino?"

"The person I see as a second mother...hell she is the one that raised me," I gave a wry smile as I remember everything that happened, "She was the only person that could keep my brothers and I in line,"

"Which Dedan could never do," Yukina added causing me to chuckle.

"Who's Dedan?" Penguin asked.

"Dedan is the woman Lu's grandfather stuck us on," I chuckle as I remember her, "She's a woman with a nasty temper and only did it so she wouldn't have to deal with the marines. She smoked all day and made me help her cook most of the time," I grimace at the reminder of the many bad things that happened, "She and the other bandits-"

"BANDITS?" Someone yelled causing me to nod.

"You," Law said slowly causing me to turn to him, "Lived with bandits after running away from home?"

"No," I say with a cheshire grin, "I only lived with them when I turned 10 and a half," He gave me a look that shouted explain, "I spent the years in between running around the forest and mountains on Dawn. I spent those years training my body and surviving off what I could. I often ended up fighting with the giant wild animals or the bandits to get what I needed to survive," I hum softly, "I also stole a lot of shit as well," Yukina snorted, "The only thing that changed when I lived with Makino and the Dedan bandits was the food, water, and shelter. I still stole shit and trained. I just got help from my brothers and Luffy's Grandfather,"

"How big were the animals?" Law asked, "I remember my grandfather bringing bear claws and a few tiger fangs home, but not much else,"

"Oh they're huge," I answer with a chuckle, "I think the biggest one we encountered was a puma. It was about 2 times the size of the sub,"

"WHAT?!" Was shouted by many people causing me to give them a fanged grin.

"What kind of messed up island was that?" Someone asked causing me to shrug.

"It was Dawn," I answer, "It's was home. Now though, the ocean is my home,"

"Wait Dawn is in the East Blue?" Shachi asked causing me to nod, "I can't imagine what the kind of islands lie in the rest of the ocean,"

"What you've probably gone through during your time in Paradise is nothing like what you'll experience in the New World," A smirk appeared on my face, "I can name quite a few islands that make absolutely no fucking sense. I can name a few that would make you piss your pants," I gave them a fanged grin, "I can name more places than you can count that will make you want to go crying to your mommies," I then chuckle, "If you think Paradise is bad now, then I suggest you start training because the New World is much worse,"

I saw many of them shiver and almost chuckle again before looking at Law. A smile weaved its way upon my face at the fire that exploded in his eyes. It seems the adventurous fire, the need to prove himself hadn't died with his home island. I almost frown at the memory of the news coo coming with that news paper. Flevance was a rather sore point for me even if I had locked away those memories for a time. It was actually that day they all unlocked themselves and well...the forest suffered badly. I shook myself from my thoughts as Law asked, "How did you travel around?"

"Other than with the thirteen?" Upon seeing the nod, I replied, "On the Red Force with Shanks, On Mihawks boat sometimes, and The Moby Dick," I shrug upon seeing their surprised looks, "Shanks and Mihawk are like my adoptive fathers while Whitebeard is like my Grandfather,"

Law gave me a raised eyebrow and asked, "Who exactly do you have as an adoptive family?"

"Well," I tap my chin, "There's Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, Sabo, Le Roux Shanks, Dracule Mihawk, Whitebeard, and Makino," I blink before adding, "I also have a few Marines and a few revolutionaries that I consider family," I could feel the incredulous looks I was being given intensify, "Anubis, Bastet, and a few other island rulers/Divin beings," I look at Kiyo and Yukina, "Anyone I miss?"

"None that I can think of," Yukina said as Kiyo nodded.

I nod to myself before looking at my new crewmates, "So a lot of powerful people."

I could see the calculative look in Law's eyes, but ignore it for now. He would end up finding out what having me as a part of his crew will cause. I lean back into my seat as Shachi asked, "Can you tell us some stuff that you did with your family?"

"Sure," I agree with a smile, "One time on Dawn..."

Law P.O.V

I watched as Kaileara interacted with my crew and felt a smirk work it's way onto my face. It was going to be interesting with her here and her knowledge of the sea will help out a lot. Her connections would help as well, but her experience with her devil fruit would be the best. From what I had seen, she held more experience than I did and could probably help me discover new uses for mine. She'll definitely help me get revenge on Doflamingo for what he did. My eyes focus on her as she laughed at something Shachi had said. She seemed lighter than before, so perhaps her adoptive family had gotten through to her defences. Even after my siblings and I had gotten her to laugh and smile, she always seemed to keep us away from her. I always spotted a darkness within her eyes that lurked around the edges like a sickness. It would shrink, but it was still there at the end of the day. Mom and Dad didn't truly spot it, but my siblings and I could. Lami was almost clueless, but she almost always made the darkness almost totally disappear. I felt a hand on my shoulder and jerk away from my thoughts as Shachi looked at me in concern. I gave him a raised eyebrow and ask, "What?"

"We wanted to ask you a question, but you couldn't seem to hear us," Penguin answered, "Are you alright Captain?"

"I'm fine," I assure them, "I was just lost in my thoughts,"

"Oh," Shachi said before asking, "So what's your history with Kaileara?"

"Our History?" I restate causing him to nod, "She lived with my family and I for a year while her Sire was off doing business,"

"So you're old friends?" Shachi asked causing me to nod, "Awesome!"

Shouts of agreement rang through the air and Kaileara chuckled. She looked at me with a smile as Penguin asked, "What was Captain like as a kid?"

Kaileara gave them a grin, "Now why should I tell you? You should figure that out for yourselves," She looked at me and stage-whispered, "Not very bright are they? Asking questions like that in the presence of their oh so amazing captain."

"WHAT? WE'RE SMART!" They protest causing Kaileara to snicker at them.

"Yeah right!" She argued with a cheshire smile directed towards them, "You just asked about your captains personal life without his approval right in front of him,"

They all pause and look at each other before looking at me before shouting, "SORRY CAPTAIN!"

I snort as Kaileara laughed at them, "Idiots!"

They argue playfully for a while causing me to shake my head. Yeah Kaileara being here will make things interesting.

Short Chapter, but I wanted to add some humor and bonding time between the Hearts Pirates and Kaileara. Review!
