I'M BAAAAACK! I took a break for the holidays but now I am ready to take on chapter 3! So this is the chapter we get to see how Jenny has changed over the years. Also I'm going to try to write in 3rd person from now on. (3 reviews, WOO!)

Chapter 3: Enter Jenny

"Corona C. Jenny."

"Wait," Nami said, "As in the daughter of Vice Admiral Fief?"

"Fief?" Luffy questioned.

"Supposedly he's one of the greatest pirate hunters the marines have," Nami explained, looking at the cliff nervously, "If that's his daughter we shouldn't be here. Considering she attacked us I would suggest we don't go anywhere near her house."

"I'm gonna go see her," Zoro said suddenly, walking off.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR A WORD I JUST SAID!?" Nami yelled, growing shark teeth.

"Wait up Zoro, I'm coming too," Luffy said, jogging after him.

"WHY ARE YOU EVEN GOING TO SEE HER?!" Usopp yelled.

"She's a blacksmith right? I want her to look at my swords, those cat brothers did a number on them," Zoro said without stopping.

As they walked away, leaving Nami and Usopp alone on the dock, Nami began to wonder just how she had gotten into this mess of a crew in the first place.

Jenny's house, 1 hour later

Zoro looked over the small house with a critical eye. It looked simple enough, he could plainly see the large chimney was connected to the forge inside, and he could hear the sound of metal pounding metal. Luffy, clearly unfazed by the assassination this woman had attempted earlier, went right up to the door and pounded on it a few times. The sound of the forge immediately stopped, and within a few seconds the door swung open.

Zoro was unimpressed, the girl who had attacked them was not as intimidating as he had expected. She was short, around Luffy's height, and she had long brown hair that turned wavy at the end tied in a pony tail that reached down to the center of her back. She was wearing a blacksmith's apron over a pair of jeans and a simple long sleeve top. Something was odd about her left leg; it seemed to have a strange shape compared to the other leg. She had boots and a pair of darkened goggles just above her electric blue eyes. She had a pretty face, currently casting a critical look on the two boys, and Zoro had trouble steering his eyes away from her, ahem, sizable chest.

"What do you want?" she said, taking a cigarette from her pocket and lighting it.

"I'd like you to take a look at my swords, I think they need fixing," Zoro responded, holding up the blades.

She took another drag on her cigarette before saying, "Alright then come on in." She took the swords from him and led the way into the house. The place was stifling due to the forge in the side wall, which looked like it also doubled as a kitchen. There was a small sitting area with a bookshelf sitting nearby and a bed in the back corner. There were schematics of different weapons as well as weapons actually mounted on the walls. Jenny walked over to the work table next to the forge and drew one of the swords.

"Not bad workman ship, but something did a number on this one," she drew the other black sword and swung the two in what looked like to Zoro as practiced and experienced movements. She then took a look at the second blade. "This one too? What, did you get in a bad fight with an oversized cat?" she asked incredulously.

"That's more accurate than you think," Zoro replied.

Jenny nodded as she put those swords down before picking up the final blade. Her eyes visibly widened when she drew it. "Where did you get a sword like this?" she asked quietly, staring at it in amazement.

"From a friend," Zoro answered shortly. She stared at him with an odd look in her eyes, almost as if she was listening to something.

"Her name was Kuina wasn't it?"

Marine Ship, approaching Jenny's home town

A single marine rushed from the helm of the ship to the captain's quarters. He was alone because he had drawn the shortest straw that morning, meaning he had to be the one to take messages to the captain that day. Everyone one the ship feared and hated the captain, almost as badly as the marines in Shells Town hated Axe-hand Morgan. The marine stopped and took a deep breath before knocking on the door to the captain's cabin.

"ENTER!" came the reply. The lone marine opened the door to reveal a lush looking office. Sitting at the desk was an enormous man. His long black hair looked greasy and clipped on, and his head seemed too big for his body. "WHAT IS IT?!" he said in his, surprisingly, normal voice.

The marine tried his hardest not to cower in fear of this man's voice. He summoned what courage he had and said, "We are nearing the island where…He, is supposedly located, sir."

"EXCELENT!" the larger man boomed, grinning wider that his face should have allowed, "SOON HE WILL BE IN MY GRASP AND NEVER ESCAPE AGAIN. OR MY NAME ISN'T CAPTAIN GREAT FIST CARRIOL!" He ran outside and shouted to the skies for what he said next, "DO YOU HERE ME?! IRON HEART DAEDALUS?!"

Back on the island

"HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THAT?!" Zoro roared.

Jenny smiled, "I just do, I tend to just know things. For instance," she drew a pistol seemingly out of nowhere and took a shot towards Luffy, "you shouldn't touch those."

Sure enough, Luffy had been reaching for a special rack of weapons. Two cutlasses, a revolver, and a long barrel sniper rifle rested on the wall above an impressive set of gun modifications and ammunition.

Zoro gaped at this girl, ready to chew her head off for attacking his captain when she suddenly took a look out the window. He followed her gaze, and saw a huge marine ship heading towards the port. Her eyes visibly widened when she realized what this meant. She grabbed the cutlasses from the wall next to Luffy and strapped one to her back and the other to her waist, throwing off her apron at the same time.

As she rushed out the door, Zoro grabbing his swords and running after her with Luffy, Zoro called out, "Where the hell are you going?!"

"No time to explain!" she called back, "They're going to kill Teacher!"

Dun Dun Duuuun. Looks like Daedalus has a past we don't know about? Well thanks for reading, I'll try and get the next chapter up ASAP. Review if you want, favorite if you can.
