Chapter 3

With warm food and drinks in their tummies, the crew and the girl got friendly and start lots of merry making.

"Hahaha" laugh the girl as she watch Luffy, Chopper and Usopp do stupid stuffs like putting chopsticks up their nose.

Zoro pick up his beer and sit down beside the girl.

"So who did you learn your Eitōryū from?"

"Eitōryū? You mean dual blades? Quite a number of people actually but I think my best teacher would be Zuko (YES! LIKE IN AVATAR! Not the blue monkeys mind you)."

"Zuko? Never heard of him. Where do he live? I like to pay him a visit."

"Erm I think that would be impossible as he is not from this world (As in not in this dimension)."

"Oh I am sorry. (Zoro thought he died)" Zoro sit there sipping on his beer quietly as he do not know what to say anymore.

"Ano ne"

"Yes Chopper?"

"Erm…it had been bothering me for awhile." fiddle fingers" Erm…..erm…why your scent is so strange?"

"Strange?"

"Yea not like human."

"Well that is because I am not." The girl said with a smiley face.

All crew jaws drop open.

"You are not HUMAN? Then what are you?"

"Hmmmmm well I am a mix blood so I think me and my brothers are one of a kind. Don't think we have a term for our race yet."

"Mix?"

"My mother is a 1000 years old snow rabbit." With that the girl took off her hat. The crew thought she is just wearing a rabbit shape hat but actually underneath is rabbit ears.

"No wonder you smell like an animal….." muttered Chopper under his breath.

"As for my dad…I don't know. I am finding for my roots now."

"1000 years old?!" Nami that finally swallowed all the information and finally found her voice to shriek out.

"Yea, it is pretty normal for my mother's race. They can live till 3000 years and still look like 20. Even though I look like this, I am already 356 years old."

"356?!" Jaws not only drop eyes start popping out too.

"SUGOI!" Luffy eyes start to sparkle. "So you are actually an OBAACHAN?"

Luffy got kicked in the head by Sanji. "This is not the way you should speak to a lady. Especially such a pretty lady." Sanji seaweed dance strikes again "Even if you are 356 years old I will still LOVE YOU!"

Sweat drop.

"Grand Line really have a lot of weird things. We shouldn't be so surprise. " As expected Robin is the first one to calm down. "Erm…(Thinking of what to call her and then realize she don't know the girl's name or occupation) your name?"

"Ah? Ahahahahaha I forgot to introduce myself? My name is Xylia. Now on a journey to find my father's origin."

"How are you going to that? You know the country's name?"

"Nope, but I have this." Xylia took out her blades. The blades are white as snow and bit transparent. It look as fragile as glass but Zoro knows it is harder than it looks. " These blades are made from a metal only found in my father's world. So as long as I can find the metal I will find my home."

"Would you like to join our crew?"

"LUFFY!"

"Why not Nami? She is strong and I like her." Luffy turn back and look at Xylia. "So would you?"

"Okay, you all seems like a pretty fun company. Not bad for a journey with no destination."

"You sure? We are pirates you know?"

"So? I was once a mafia. To me no matter what do you do as long you do what you think its right it doesn't matter what the society label you as."

"Okay I definitely want you in our crew now!JOIN US!"

"Aye aye captain."
