This is my second fanfiction ever but my first one for One Piece. Sorry if I don't get everyone's personality right and by the way I don't own any of the characters besides Miki.

Some things you may want to know-

Miki means beautiful.

Miki's POV-

It was raining the night I meant the strange little boy with the straw hat. I had just arrived in Foosha Village all alone, I had gotten a free ride from the ship after I slipped on it without anyone seeing me. For being seven years old I was quite and didn't have much friends after all I had run away from my home town. I jumped on to the dock and ran into the town as fast as I could.

I stop into an ally way to catch my breath wondering if any one saw me. I started to walk down the street cold and hungry wondering what I should do now. It was hard to believe that just a couple of days ago I was in a safe house with my family but it was all gone now. I notice I had a tore in my dark red tank top and my brown shorts were looking beaten up too. I see some hair tie's out side a store and steal one when the woman wasn't looking. I but my long black hair into a pony tail.

I look down at my shoes and notice the bottom of one of my shoes was gone. I frown and take them off throwing them into a nearby trash can. Most of the lights were off in the small town but luckily the street lights were on. My mint green eyes look forward and I was at the edge of the town, I keep walking. There was nothing in this town for me to stay for.

I kept walking forward not sure were I was going but I didn't know where to go. I lost sight of my dream I couldn't even remember what I wanted anymore. The rain turned into snow and I was even colder.

I walk through the white forest and started to stumble a little, my vision even got blurry. Soon I couldn't walk any more and I fell to my knees.

I look at my hands and take the sliver locket I had on my neck off and look at the picture in it. I started to fall asleep the last thing I heard was a little straw hat boy running towards me yelling, "Oi! Are you alright!?"

The next day

"When is she going to wake up?" Someone asked.

"Maybe she's dead." There was a loud crash.

"Don't say that Ace!" The person yelled.

I blink my eyes open and sit up quickly. Colliding my head with that straw hat kid.

"Ow!" We both yell in pain and we both fall on are backs.

I sit up slower this time looking around and look at the straw hat kid, "S-sorry." I said holding the part of my head that collided with the kid around my age.

"Never mind that." The older kid with freckles said, "Who are you?" he asked.

"Ace don't you care!?" The straw hat yells seeming to recover instantly.

"Miki." I said looking down and they looked at me confused, "M-my name is Miki." I said glancing at them.

"Well Miki can you tell me why my eight year old brother dragged you in here during the middle of the night?" Ace asked and I look at the straw hat.

"Ace I already told you she collapsed in the snow and she looked hurt." Straw hat yelled but Ace paid no attention.

"I did collapsed but I don't remember him bring me here." I said feeling guilty for some reason.

"What were you doing out in the snow in a tank top and shorts walking bare foot in the forest?" Ace asked and looked at me like I'm mad.

"Ace let's stop with the questions and show her around I'm bored!" Straw hat complained pulling on Ace's shirt.

"Luffy stop it!" Ace yelled hitting him on the head and Luffy frowned.

I giggled their actions reminded me of my little brother, "If you don't mind could you show me around. I need to find a place to stay." I said and look at my hand finding my locket still there. I put the sliver chain that carries my locket around my neck again.

Ace sighs, "Fine but I would change clothes." He says walking away.

I look down, "I don't have anything." I said and Luffy runs off somewhere and returned in seconds.

I smile, "Thanks Luffy." I said and go into the bathroom to change into the blue t-shirt and jeans.

After they showed me where the city, village, and their place were I asked them if I could stay with them. Ace didn't like it but Luffy begged him in till he gave in. I stayed with them and I would live with them in till Luffy turns 17.

6 months later

"Oi! Miki over here!" Luffy yelled and I turn around smiling as the straw hat waved me over. It's been 6 months since Luffy saved me and I moved in with them. I told them about what I want and that was to go out to the sea. They let me hunt with them, eat with them, and even train with them. But I don't use my hands or a sword; I use guns as my weapon. But for training I don't use real bullets.

"Ya Luffy what is it?" I ask and Luffy gets a huge grin on his face.

"Help me find Ace." I couldn't help but smile, those two were truly brothers. Luffy always chased after Ace no matter what Ace did to him.

"Alright where did you last see him?" I ask looking around.

"I don't know." Luffy said smiling.

I sigh, "Let's walk around then." I said walking in a random direction with Luffy following me.

It started to get let so we take a break under a tree. I yawn and look at Luffy who was staring out into space. I study at his face, his hair, the scar, his hat.

"Luffy can you tell me about how you got that scar again?" I ask pointing at the scar under his eye.

He gets a wide grin yet again and begins. I smile because I like this stories, I like how he knows what he wants to do with out thinking. I notice I start to space out again but wake up again as Luffy speaks.

"Miki what do you want to be when your older?" Luffy asks looking right at me.

"What do you mean?" I said confused I had told him already I want to go out to the sea.

"I'm meaning what do you want to do? I'm gonna be the pirate king, so what do you want?" Luffy asks putting on his straw hat.

"I'm not sure yet…" I said but trailed off and then Luffy spoke again.

"If you join my crew I can help you find you dream." Luffy said holding out his hand.

I laugh, "How about this, you get at least two people to join your crew then I'll join. Meet me at Loguetown; it's a town you'll have to stop by before you go to the grand line." I said and he smiles.

I take his hand, "Deal." He says and we shake on it.

9 Years later

I wait at the deck, for Luffy who was late. I watch the waves of the sea hit the side of the deck, "Where is he?" I ask myself and play with my locket with fingers.

"Miki!" I turn around and watch Luffy hold on to his hat on top of his head as he ran towards me.

"What took you so long?" I ask walking the rest of the way to him as a crowed starts to from around them.

"Just saying good-bye to some friends." Luffy says rubbing the back of he's head and had that wide grin on his face.

"Well I guess this is good-bye for now." I said kind of sad, "Don't forget about our deal." I warn him and smile.

"Of course not." Luffy says getting into a row-boat and other people start to wave him good-bye.

I watch him row away and smile when the sea-king shows up and Luffy beats it with on hit, "Don't forget Loguetown!" I yell the name of the town, 'Please don't forget.'

Luffy just waves at me and even though I can't see his face from here I knew he was smiling.

Loguetown

I made my way into town after I got off the ship. I wonder how long it will take Luffy to get here. I shake my head and do what I planed. 'One is to buy weapons, two is to find a place to stay until Luffy gets here, and three wait for Luffy.' And that's what I did; I bought two ordinary guns. I also bought some clothes, like the shirt I'm wearing now. Which is a green t-shirt with a bird on it with jeans; I also had new pair of shoes.

I hope it doesn't take Luffy too long but I'll wait no matter how long it takes. I wait at the deck everyday waiting for the straw hat boy.
