Fayt woke up that morning to find the island only half the day away. She jumped for joy and ran to the head and sat on it. She couldn't hide her excitement. All kinds of thoughts were running through her head: new crew, adventure, good food, trinket shops; but when the trinket shops crossed her mind she realized, no berries….or gold. She dashed off the dragons head into the gold room. There she found at least half of her mother's store. Her eyes got wide as she dove into the coins. She started to wonder how her mom took this.

"LUFFY!!!!" Nami screamed when she found out half of her money and gold storage was missing. Luffy chuckled.
"Yes Nami?" he asked walking in.
Nami was red in the face with fury.
"Where…is….my…..MONEY!!" Nami said through clenched teeth after before screaming money. She grabbed her shoe and threw it at his head and then threw multiple things at him, he just laughed. She stopped and looked at him confusingly.
"I gave half to Fayt. She'll be needing it." He said smiling wide before laughing. Nami let out a deep sigh.
"Thanks Luffy for letting me know sooner!" she yelled and fell back into the pile of gold she still had.
"I thought someone stole it. Or you used it for meat."
"Nope" he simply replied smiling.

She giggled at the thought. Her stomach started to growl and she pursued her lips.
"Mmmm….." she groaned in hunger holding her stomach. She got up and made her way to the kitchen. She looked around.
"Ok Dad gives me money and no food….he ate it." She said dropping her head on the counter. She trudged back on deck and with each step her stomach growled louder. She reached the deck finally after what felt like hours and fell. She laid there listening to the sound of her stomach. The motion of the rocking ship finally put her into a small light sleep.

She sat up a few hours later and saw that she was closing in on the island.
She let out a yelp and jumped up. She ran to the sails and prepared to dock it. She had become a master at manipulating the sails for the ship to steer. She docked it in smoothly and anchored it. She jumped onto the dock, tied the ship and ran into town. She was now on trader's island.
The town was filled with people, merchants and traders! Fayt stared around wondrously and starry eyed. She was so excited she could barely contain it. She had pocketed some money for food and that's what she intended to get first. She walked in a restaurant and sat at a single table by a window.
"May I get your order?" the waiter asked.
"Yes, just some meat please and a pint." Fayt said looking at the waiter. She hung the straw hat around her neck and looked up at him. "Please." She added.
"Yes ma'am" the waiter said walking away.
A few tables away Dante heard pint and looked over.
"She's cute." he said plainly getting up and going over to her. That's when he saw the straw hat.

"I had a captain once." Zoro said looking at the wanted poster of Luffy. "That straw hat of his. He never let it get lost and if it did be prepared."
"Why was he like that?"
"Because Dante; that was his treasure. He's got a daughter about your age who wears it now."

"Excuse me miss." Dante said walking up to her.
"Yes?" She asked looking up at him. Her eyes grew wide for a split second as she stared at his body. She couldn't help it she was female after all.
"I couldn't help but notice your hat. Did it belong to a Monkey D. Luffy?"
"Yep!" She said smiling as he sat down to join her.
"He's my daddy!!" She said proudly.
"Ah ok because my sensei was his first mate."
"Uncle Zoro!!"
"Haha yep." Dante said. "So where is a lady like you headed?"
"To become the greatest pirate of the new world!" she said as proudly and loudly as her father.
Everyone in the restaurant began to whisper.
"That's Luffy's daughter."
"She's not all that scary looking."
"She's dangerous."
"That was not a smart thing to yell in a marine run restaurant" Dante said grabbing her wrist.
"Hey I haven't eaten!!" She protested as she was pulled up out of her seat and out of the restaurant.
He ran with her behind him until they were out of the sight of the restaurant.
"You're a trouble maker. I'm headed to the new world as well. You miss just got yourself a new crewmate." He said sticking out his hand.
Fayt's eyes got huge as she jumped and hugged him around the neck. She let go and jumped up on the air.
"YOSH!! My very own crew member!!"
"So how many of us are there?"
"Just you and me so far." Fayt said innocently.
"Heh heh" Dante said with a sweat drop going down the side of his face.
"So off to get supplies!!!" Fayt said Marching off.
"Wait we don't even know each other's names" Dante yelled running after her.
"Oh that's easy! I'm Monkey D. Fayt!"
Dante laughed catching up. "Dante"
"Alright Dante first mate of the…ummm…"
"We don't even have a name for our crew?"
"Nor flag! But ah well!" Fayt continued into town.
This is going to be one hell of a ride. Dante thought to himself as he followed his new found captain.

Fayt and Dante were headed back to the ship. Dante of course carrying the stuff anf Fayt marching ahead with a stick leading the way.
Is this how Sensei felt when he traveled with Luffy. He told me that he was an idiot.
"Come on Dante!" Fayt said.
"Coming captain!" Dante yelled back behind the stacks of supplies he was carrying. Fayt squealed she loved being called captain and she knew she would for a long time. They finally reached the ship.
"Well we're here!" Fayt said stopping. Dante, not seeing she stopped, crashed into her dropping some of the supplies. Fayt giggled and pick them up knowing he could not see. She led him on the deck and he gently set the things down.
"Oh wow!" he said. His eyes got wide. "You controlled it all by yourself?!"
"Yep!" Fayt gave a thumbs up. "My mom is Navigator Nami!"
"Ahhhhhh!!" He exclaimed looking up and around.
"Go explore, I'll put things away." Fayt stated laughing, she understood his excitement.
Dante ran down and explored the ship top to bottom. It had an aquarium to keep fish with a small library, an up top workout room, captains room and beside that the bunkers. It had a big storage space and a gunnery room for the cannons and new age weaponry below the rooms.
He ran back up. "This is amazing!" he exclaimed. He ran into the kitchen area where Fayt was preparing food.
"Well then Dante, lets untie her, raise anchor and ship of."
They worked together to untie the ship, raise anchor and Fayt began teaching him the art of sailing.
"This is so amazing!" he said.
"Yes it is" Fayt said giving a had one crew member and knew many more to come once they were shipped off they head towards the open sea and she plotted the next island. Blue Fire Isle.
