"You are the most beautiful, Ca-captain Alvida!" a pink haired boy bowed down, lying through his own teeth. His teeth chattered in fear from the big woman in front of him, he didn't know if he can even call her a woman. She had the power of many men. He bowed down relentlessly, until she smirked and left but not before saying "Of course, I am, I am Captain Alvida! Who do you think I am?!"

She left him shivering in fear, she ordered her men to lock him up in the barrel storage. He was thrown by chuckling crewmen, he fell on his head and blinked.. He couldn't see much in the dark storage room but he felt a warm presence. He tried touching the air and found a very.. piece of rubbery skin, and then he heard a soft laugh.

"Shi shi shi." As the boy went near to the dark presence, his heart was pounding, just a li-

"BOO!" she laughed outloud at the little boy reaction, gasping for air she stopped laughing and wiped the tears of her eyes.

"W-who are you?" Asked the pink haired boy to the girl, though he saw her as a boy, her sleeveless vest was buttoned up, the buttons were yellow while the vest itself was read, what a matching colour. She wore cut off and rolled up denims and plain sandals, they looked a little bruised.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy," she paused just to see his expression, he looked confused. Very confused, she felt a little hurt no one knew her. Oh wait, she changed back to her original surname. Her stepfather made her mother change her surname. It became Edward Stephen Luffy. With no D, and no will. She played with her hair as if she was going to explain something, but he looked at her confused once again.

"Why are you playing with the.. air?" it was her turn to be confused, "Huh..?" she replied and noticed that her long fluffy hair was gone and now there was a badly cut hair with a strawhat on top of it.

"Oh, ah, haha. Anyway, what's your name?" she asked him, "I'm Coby." he said, she smiled at him and chattered with him for a little while, talked about Alvida, the captain and how he was so scared to try and tell her she's ugly. He told Luffy that he wanted to become a navy solider, and that's when the grinning, the laughing, and the chattering stopped.

"What're you gonna be in the future, Luffy?" he asked. She hid her eyes behind her straw hat and then looked up to him and told him.

"I'm gonna be the pirate king! And you won't stop me you prissy navy solider wannabe!" she yelled at him, he was shocked. Wait, what? Pirate King! That means he'll become my enemy!

Before he could utter another word she left to open the door, not knowing where it was she landed on the stairs because of the darkness lidding the room. It was very dim, then she heard footsteps running to her.

"Are you okay? Why do you want to go out anyways, if Alvida find you, she'll kill you! Or maybe feed you to sharks.. or worse.. make you her servant for lifetime!" he said in fear, warning her of the 'so-called' Alvida, who was very uh.. 'scary'. She looked at him and sighed,

"Fine," she paused and rubbed the back of her hair, "that means I'll help you defeat her, then?" she continued, he looked at her bewildered, and then laughed at pointed his finger at her.

"Y-you? You are too skinny to be strong to defeat Alvida, you'd pass as a girl if you maybe put on a little of this.. a-and that, hahaha!~" he laughed loudly, too loud that the crewmen came into the room with a lantern, they told Coby to come and clean the dock. He obeyed while looking at the ground, Luffy hid behind the barrel.
