Ok guys, here is a new chapter of the story I hope you enjoy.
R&R
I woke to find a sword still in my gut, and I knew that this experience would change my life forever. I heard noises coming from the pathway leading to our house. I shut my eyes as the sun pelted down on my skin and made me want to go crawl under a rock. The noise became louder.
"Shanks are you sure you don't want to leave this island, there are no survivors here." One man said as they walked towards me.
"No worries Roo, I'm just checking for any signs of what could have happened." The man I guessed was Shanks answered. They were walking right past me.
"Now that is just sad." Another man said.
"Look at the poor blue haired girl." Another said.
As they passed I grabbed on to the red-haired man's ankle. "H-help me." I managed to say. My throat was sore and dry and I don't think the sword helped much. He bent down to me. "Hey guys, this ones alive." He said as he smiled a huge smile. "Okay, this is going to hurt... a lot." He said to me, I nodded and clenched my fists. He grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out. A scream filled the air, that scream belonged to me.
The man, Shanks picked me up and carried me down to the docks where we boarded his boat. The man took me into a room below deck and told me to sleep; I didn't need to be twice as I let my consciousness slip away. As the blackness filled me from the inside I saw a light. I started to run towards the light as it became bigger and bigger and brighter and brighter. It was a warm light and it brought me happiness. There was a hand reaching out from the light, I took it and caught a glimpse of orange hair before I opened my eyes and realised this wasn't where I had fallen asleep.
I could hear the sea but it wasn't close, I could hear birds and trees rustling I also saw a small boy and a straw hat man. I opened my eyes and my hand went to my head as it started to spin.
"Whoa there little girl, easy, just take your time." The red-haired man said. I sat up and leaned against the wall facing them both. The door opened as a beautiful woman came in. "You're awake, thank goodness." She said as she took a seat next to the man.
"I'm Makino, I own the bar here in Fuchsia village." The woman said.
"I'm Shanks, I'm the one who found you on that island." The red-haired man said.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy! And I'm gonna be king of the pirates." A boy, looking around the same age as me said. I nodded the recited their names back to them pointing at each one as I went.
"I'm Crescent D. Domaneke, but you all can just call me Neka. Thank you very much for taking care of me. How long have I been asleep for?" I asked timidly.
Makino told me I had been asleep for about two days. I thanked them again and looked down at my wound. It was healing fast, I guess that is because I absorbed that devil fruit. Shanks told Luffy to keep and eye on me as he went to go tell the crew about my awakening and Makino had already left to go help some customers.
"I ate a devil fruit." Luffy suddenly said after a few moments of awkward silence. My eyes lit up. "What type?" I asked excitedly.
"I ate the Gum-Gum fruit, I'm a rubber man." He said stretching his cheeks out. I laughed at him, he was funny and cute.
"Can I touch you?" I asked him.
"Yeah, but why?" He said as I touched his hand gently and felt myself become more relaxed and…bouncy.
"I ate a devil fruit too, the All-All fruit. I can gain the abilities of any other devil fruit user I touch." I said as I too stretched my cheek. Luffy got stars in his eyes.
I moved my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I wobbled a bit but Luffy helped me by wrapping my arm around his neck. We walked down the stairs and I had only a slight limp. Shank's crew looked at me, they all cheered and made a toast on my well-being.
I spent the next week with Shanks and Makino. Luffy and I had to share a room but I didn't mind much, except for the falling off of the bed stuff. My wound was fully healed now and I could move around freely. I had only opened up to Luffy. I had told Shanks and Makino a few things, though the first thing I had done when I spoke about it was cry.
It was my second week with Makino and Shanks had left, that's when a really big guy walked in to the bar. "LUFFY~!" He yelled. I saw Luffy cringe and start to sweat, badly. I looked from him to the old man and started to get scared. I was visibly shaking in my seat, this was another side effect, I don't trust people who look scary or mean. You could hear my whimpering as I held my head and shut my eyes tight.
"Garp-san, please don't, you're scaring Neka!" Makino scolded him. The man looked at me, as I had tears rimming my eyes. His look softened as he knelt to my eye level and patted my head. "Luffy, you're coming with me!" He said as he stood up and grabbed Luffy. "Wait, please!" I whimpered, he turned to look at me. "Luffy is the only person who I fully trust. Please don't take him." I begged Garp.
"Who are your parents kid?" He asked me.
"T-they d-died." I said sadly as Luffy struggled to comfort me.
"You'll be my new granddaughter!" He laughed. I looked at him as he held out his hand and I took it as I smiled. We walked out of the bar and into the forest and I had managed to convince Garp to let Luffy down.
"Don't worry kid, I'm going to toughen you up. And then you can become a Marine." He laughed.
"I DON'T WANNA!" Luffy yelled. I stayed quiet. Garp hit Luffy over the head as he yelled out 'Fist Of Love'. A few hours later we arrived at a cottage where a big and ugly woman was at. She had curly orange hair and a smoke coming out of her mouth. Garp and her conversed some and I found out that her name was Dadan.
"Luffy, Neka, say hello." Garp said.
"YO~!" Luffy called out to her.
"Hello." I said shyly as I stood behind Luffy.
"Garp, what's up with the girl?" Dadan said.
"She's broken." Garp said as he explained to her what he knew. "Call Ace would you." Garp said to Dadan.
"ACE! ACE Get your but out here!" She called.
After a few minutes a boy who looked a lot like Luffy came out from the shadows. He had freckles across his face and he had to be at least two years older than Luffy and I.
"What do you want crazy woman, I was hunting dinner." Ace said rudely to Dadan.
"This is Luffy and Neka, say hello." Dadan instructed. Ace rolled his eyes and muffled a hello. He looked kind of like Kurt and it hurt seeing him, I had to figure him out or else I wouldn't be able to stand being around him.
After a week of being there Luffy and I started to follow Ace to Grey Terminal where he met up with a boy called Sabo, that's where they stashed their money. I had become stronger living with the bandits and was starting to gain an attitude, there is a rule, an unspoken one but a rule everyone learns nether the less, that rule is: You either stick up or shove off, as Ace had put it. He was quite cruel to Luffy, but was lighter on me as he was told by Dadan that I was broken. I don't really get what they mean by that. One day when we were following them, as we hid in a bush they heard us. Ace pushed us to the ground and I slid near Sabo, who glared at me.
"Oi brats, now you know where we keep our money we are going to have to kill you." Sabo said looking from Luffy to me with a glare.
"Why did you follow us?" Ace asked harshly.
"Ace, we should slit their throats or something eh?!" Said Sabo as he laughed, he was joking but it still scared the ** out of me, as memories and flashbacks of that night came into play. I ran to Ace and buried myself in his arms as I cried. He seemed shocked. "No, no, please don't kill us, I can't lose anyone important again, please!" I begged him. He put a hand on my shoulder and pushed me away gently.
"Sabo, apologise, now!" Ace said to the top hatted guy.
"What, why?" Sabo asked.
"She's broken!" Ace hissed and Sabo was quite. He walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder and whipped my tears, "Hey, I'm sorry, I was only joking to scare you into not following us, because it could be dangerous." He said to me. I nodded but Ace still tied Luffy to a tree and left him there. That's when the bandits came.
They took Luffy and we went after them. When we got there were three people guarding the door. We took on one each. I saw one was a woman who had cat ears so I touched her hand and felt my body grow more agile and cunning. She must have eaten the Neko-Neko fruit. My first Zoan type. We all barged in to the room and saw Luffy tied up. I used my speed powers and ran to him and untied the ropes fast, as I did that Sabo and Ace knocked out all the guys.
