A/N: 11 years later...
Previously: "Well, your just a brat, so I wouldn't be talking if I were you." He frowned. Maybe not.
"No." "Why not?" He asked. "Simple, I don't want to be a pirate." "But if I'm going to be the King of Pirates, then I'll need a crew." I looked at him. "Then ask somebody that wants to follow a brat like you." I told him.
I was sitting at the dock trying to enjoy the view, but what can I say? He sure is persistent, that's what. He's been asking me this since I ate this damn Devil's fruit...11 years ago! Not only I don't want to be a pirate, but I sure as hell am not following someone 10 years younger than me. Luffy had been training himself for his devil's fruit powers for like what? 10 years. Me you ask? Why, Shucks! I stopped when I finally got into full force, I didn't even bother with the rest. Hey! It's not as if I'm gonna go around beating up powerful people! Unlike this brat. Although I am saddened to say, I never had things go the way I would have liked.
"Luffy!" A voice that I would come to hate later on, called. Luffy looked at the brat that called his name. At this time my eyes were closed so I didn't know, didn't care in other words to see who this 'brat' was. Big mistake #1. "Uh-oh, Grandpa?"Luffy said uncertainly. I nearly choked on air, "Grandpa?" I repeated. I decided that I might as well see who it was. Big mistake #2. To say I was satisfied with what I saw was an understatement. After all, Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back. But I was not satisfied. Standing in front of me, was Garp The Hero. Oh, I know because of my situation I make sure I know who the top ranking people of the government are. Garp, being a Vice Admiral means that of course I know him. Also he was called 'The hero' which means something. He was pissed off by the looks of it, but I wasn't paying attention to that, just the fact that he was here. I gasped. 'Is he here for me?' I didn't pay attention though, as I got up and ran. 'I'm not going to go back.' I thought. "Good idea, Dia!" Luffy was running next to me. I blinked at him. Why was he running too?
"LUFFY!" Garp yelled after us. "I made a raft to use to escape." Luffy told me as we ran together. All I could think of the moment was to get as far away as possible from Garp. "Whatever, brat." I said. Big mistake #3. Never ever, run away with an idiot. You won't ever enjoy the consequences. I heard footsteps behind us, telling me that Garp was pursuing us. I pushed myself to run faster. As fast as I could manage without making myself fall. Once both Luffy, and I reached the edge of the dock, we jumped. Gracefully, if I do say so myself, we landed into a boat one that didn't seem well crafted. Ignoring the boat's condition, I unfurled the sail, while Luffy was busy trying to paddle away as far as possible.
"LUFFY! YOU BETTER COME BACK HERE!" Garp yelled. I nervously stared into Garp's eyes. "Grandpa! I'm gonna be the pirate King!" Luffy shouted back. "I already have a Nakama too!" he sounded like he got meat. And trust me, that's saying something. Wait... by Nakama... he doesn't mean me does he? I looked around, seeing that it was only Luffy and me, I started panicking. I swear I felt like I was being burned by Garp's hateful and pissed off glare. I gave him a nervous smile. "Heh heh, I can explain this." I squeaked. "YOU BETTER KEEP HIM ALIVE! OR ELSE!" Garp raised his fist at me. I shrunck back. "N-NO PROBLEM!" I said. I really hate my life right now.
