New chapter i don't own one piece!

please enjoy and R&R

I don't know why, but when I'm with Luffy I seem to let go and relax more, as if his smile is contagious. I also found out that I've become more trustworthy and open with others around me. I have an attitude that Dadan says will get me into a lot of trouble, and it's only been a month living with these bandits and boys. I have a dream now, it's to become a pirate and help Luffy to the best of my abilities. It's been hard this last month. The bandits and even Garp have all started to treat me like a boy. Once I over heard Garp and Dadan talking...

"How is she?" Garp asked.
"Those boy, I swear there is some sort of magic that they hold, especially Luffy. She has opened up, and we treat her the same as the others, those boys have healed her broken heart." Dadan replied with a light chuckle.

Was that what they meant by 'broken'. I'm glad I'm not broken anymore. Even Garp's 'Fist Of Love' hurts less. Right now, were all sitting togethher in our tree house, exchanging stories.

I have learnt that Sabo is a noble, a run away noble that is. Ace's dad is was Gol D. Rodger and his mum was Portgas D. Rouge. And Luffy didn't know his dad or mum. They all looked at me expectantly. I let out a sigh.

"I'll tell you my story, but it isn't that nice, I had just eaten a devil fruit, the All-All fruit, and I had run off to go and tell my friends along with my brother, Kurt and my sister, Hannah. That's when our town was under attack. They lit the town on fire and started to make their way up the hill to where we were. The leader, picked me and by brother up by the throat and had my sister under his foot. " I paused and they leaned in. This was hard to talk about, but for them, I'd do it.

"One of the men picked up Hannah and shot her right in her temple, Kurt and I screamed her name, resulting in the grip around our throats tightening. The man who held us had eaten the Speed-Speed fruit, so before I could blink he had thrown my brother against the wall. His head was open and there was blood everywhere. The next thing I knew there was a sword in my gut. I was thrown to the ground and before I blanked out I could see the bloodshed and flames and hear the desperate screams of the people I loved getting killed." I finished it up and took a deep breath to calm myself. I looked up at them and smiled.

"But, if that hadn't happened then I would never have met you guy's so I'm happy now, don't look so down." I said with a smile on my face. They nodded. Sabo whipped out four sake cups and a bottle of saké.

"We can become a family on sake!" Said Sabo, as he poured the four glasses full of saké. Sabo drank his first.
"I promise to live a life of freedom." He said as he drank.
"I promise to live with no regrets." Ace said as he downed the drink.
"I promise to become King of the Pirates!" Luffy exclaimed as he drank his too.
"I promise, to cherish everything I have." I said as I too drank mine.
"Neka, don't you want to seek revenge?" Sabo asked me.
"No, I know that my family would not like me killing another for selfish reasons like that, beside before I blanked out, on of the cries I heard was 'forgive them!' it wasn't directed at me but everyone. So I shall not hold a grudge. If I do meet them though, I will kick their ass." I answered.

After that we went on trips with Garp and Luffy and I started to train our devil fruits. A while later it came to the day that Sabo would leave. We stood there waving him off but when he got about 50 metres away from the island his boat got shot down by some oncoming cannon balls. The whole boat exploded, leaving nothing behind.

"SABO! YOU CAN'T FUCKING DIE!" I screamed, just like I had with Hannah, and I ran to the water crying, just as I was about to dive in I felt arms wrap around me, stopping me from getting in the water. I struggled as hard as I could against Ace's grip, but it was no use, he was still stronger than me. I stopped struggling against his grip and instead turned around and hugged him tight.

It took a few days to get over Sabo's death, but I refused to become like my old self again. We started to train with Ace. I managed to beat him a few times too. We were a happy family; Ace had become the kind older brother that he tried to hide.

Before I knew it, it was Ace's turn to set sail. Luffy and I were 14 now and it was just going to be us. We waved Ace off and we made a silent promise to meet up again one we had set sail. Training. Thats all we did for the next few years, up in till the day we became 16 and went out to see.

So here we are floating in a boat on the open waters, going where they take us. I changed into my Abyssinian form and curled up in Luffy's lap under the sun; I start to purr as he strokes my fur. There is one thing about my fur though, when I change into a cat I don't have blue hair, it goes orange. My cat senses were tingling, I stood up and went to the bow.
"What is it Neka?" Luffy asked me.
"Whirlpool!" I said to Luffy running back to him. I changed into my human form and got out a barrel.

"Quick! Get in!" I called to him, he jumped in and I turned into my calico form and jumped in too. Luffy pulled the lid on and we waited as the boat started to rip into pieces. I can't say for sure but I think we escaped the whirlpool. All of a sudden we hit the side of a boat or something and by the sound of it, it was big. The next thing we knew we were being pulled up, tossed about, rolling down stairs and spinning out of control.

When we finally stopped I could tell that we had crashed something. I groaned in pain and Luffy did the same. He sat up and patted my head. Some kid came into the room and started rolling us saying we were the sake. Some other guys came in and stood us up, I felt like I was gonna barf from all this spinning and stuff. That's when Luffy burst out of the barrel saying 'I smell food.' I sweat dropped and jumped out of the barrel too. I made my way quickly and quietly to the doors that I smelt food behind. A boy with pink hair followed me in. I sat down and started eating at some apples I found. I ate like a cat thought to avoid freaking him out. He sat down next to me and lent against a wall, I walked over to him and sat in his lap.

"Hey there, what's your name?" He asked me.
"Meow!" I said back to him.
"Ginger?" I shook my head.
"Cleo?" I shook my head again, that's when Luffy burst in.
"NEKA!" He yelled. I trotted over to him and jumped on to his shoulders and curled myself around his neck, rubbing my cheek against his.
"Oh, Neka is a nice name." Coby said.
"Oh yeah, her full name is Domaneke but we all call her Neka for short." Luffy laughed.
"She's really beautiful." Coby said.
"She's even prettier when she's in her normal form."
"What normal form?" Coby said.

"She ate a devil fruit that allowed her to gain other devil fruit users abilities when she touched them, she touched someone with this power. Come on Neka time to change." He said.
I jumped off of his shoulders and on to the ground. I changed back into my human form, it felt amazing to change back, and I love the feeling of my hair growing. My clothes always reappeared when I changed back too. Coby was about to shit himself.
"Luffy there are some apples there." I said pointing to a bunch of apples. He practically leapt at them
