A/N: I just have to say that the first part is a flashback, so yeah. Enjoy yourself is what I want to say.
Previously: Distressed, I laid down on my bed. Not even knowing that I feel asleep.
It was burning. The house was burning. I should be sad, but I... I'm happy? I hadn't meant for it to go this way. I looked at the three girls, all older than me. They nervously stared back. I looked all around us. All of the houses, fire. There were already dead bodies, I had no idea what was going on. All wanted to have was freedom, instead all these lives... no, I don't want to think about it. I didn't want to be weak in front of people who are looking up to me for a way out. A way to freedom. I turned back my attention to the girls, the oldest raised her arms towards me. Her name was "Boa Hancock," I dug into my pockets letting my silver hair cover my blue eyes. Taking out a bunch of keys, I started to unlock their cuffs. It would make it harder to leave if people knew they were slaves.
I woke up, panting and shuddering. I hated it. I hated having memories of my past. It was always a different one, I had it at least 4 times a month. Shaking my head, I got rid of the memories, for now anyways. I glanced at my alarm clock, it was noon time. Yawning, I got off my Purple bed. I then remembered my attitude towards Luffy. I was disappointed in myself, what Shanks told me was true. Luffy was just a kid. I didn't have any reason, not even my excuse from my past would cut it. I decided that I was to apologize to that brat the moment I see him. Nodding to myself, I got ready to go outside.
The scene that I got was one that I really did not wish to see. I was at the docks, watching a scene literally unfold in front of me. A gruesome one at that. Because almost every island that I've ever been to has their own sea monster, the bandit that was on a boat... got swallowed whole by the sea monster of this island. Something, a person maybe fell into the ocean. I just stared, it... it was Luffy! 'He can't swim.' Was all I thought as I prepared to save him. I was going to use my Devil's fruit, "HANG ON, LUFFY! I'M COMING!" I shouted. I wasn't going to make it in time, though. The sea monster. It was going to eat Luffy too. "SHIT!" I yelled. The sea monster attacked Luffy. "Luffy!" I screamed.
The next sight brought a breath of relief to me. Holding Luffy was a red- haired man. There was only one red head I knew in this world. It was Shanks. "Thank god." I mumbled to myself. I smiled and waved at hem as they came closer. But once I could get a better view, I saw Luffy crying. And I could see why. The place where Shanks' left shoulder was supposed to be was just a bloody mess, his arm was gone. It was in the stomach of the sea monster now.
~One week later~
LUFFY POV
I didn't want Shanks to leave. I was standing at the top of the dock steps. not wanting him to forget, "I will be the pirate King and one day I'll have a crew that beat even yours!" There I said it. Shanks smiled. "Then you should keep this until that day," he took off his straw hat placing it onto my black shaggy hair. "Keep it safe, it's my treasure that I'm giving to you." I knew that. I knew how serious Shanks was. I couldn't hold it, I started to cry. Thankfully the hat was covering my face.
NORMAL POV
I completely forgot to apologize to Luffy. I didn't want to interupt their moment though... oh the hell with it. Walking towards Luffy I saw tears slipping off his cheeks, I gave a small smile. "Hey, brat!" Luffy snapped out of his little moment. He managed a glare to give me, ignoring it I kneeled so I was his height. "I just wanted to say, that even though your annoying," He stared at me. "And short may I add," Cue pout. "I'm sorry for the other day, brat." He smiled. "Nah, your just an old lady, you were just angry!" I faultered in my smile, I ended up glaring at him, "I'm not old." I said. Shanks and his crew left laughing their asses off. I hate to admit it, but I just lost to a 6 year old. "Well, your just a brat, so I wouldn't be talking if I were you." He frowned. Maybe not.
