Saké POV

When I got into the main part of town on that island, I "borrowed" some money from a lot of people without them knowing I did. I also got a better feel for where I was in the timeline. We were right before the whole thing at Water 7.

I got on the sea train and rode it until the train station that Granny Kokoro was at. As I got off, I met the woman and the little girl name Chimney, as well as their cat. They are nice people, even though Ms. Kokoro was drunk.

"Why are you still here?" Ms. Kokoro asked me just after the train left. "You could have gotten on that train."

I looked at her with a smile and told her. "I'm not really sure to be honest. I'm just waiting for something." I held a piece of my hair and started to mess with the color.

We heard a loud crash coming from outside. I look outside and my eye went as big as they could. I was seeing the real Going Merry for the first time; it was a lot bigger than I thought I was going to be.

Chimney and the Ms. Kokoro went outside and talked to the Straw Hats about the sea train and where they were going to next. She just finished when I finally walked outside.

"Hey Ms. Kokoro, what do you think - red hair or blue?" as I swapped it between the colors. And looked up and pretended to surprise at the Straw Hats being there. "So that what that loud crash was?" I asked, still flipping my hair color

The Straw Hats looked at with shocked face at my hair. "Red looks best on you, Saké-san," Ms. Kokoro told me

"Really? I thinking pale green." I made my hair color the same as Zoro's. The whole time, the Straw Hats where trying to figure out what to make of my hair and how I was doing what I was doing.

"HOW ARE YOU MAKING YOUR HAIR DO THAT?" Luffy yelled at me.

Damn, he is loud. I mean, I knew that, but damn.

"It's my ability. I can turn into anything I want to," I told them with a grin. I then turned to Luffy. "I can't copy, though. This is as far as I can go." I then turned into Chopper. "I haven't found anything I can't turn into." I then turned into a tiny Going Merry and then back to myself. I had red hair again.

Luffy had those big, shiny eyes whenever he saw something cool.

"Oh, can you guys give me a ride to Water 7? I can pay if you want me to. I kind of missed the train," I told them. Ms. Kokoro gave me a weird looked because of what I told her earlier.

"SURE!" Luffy yelled.

"Thanks," I said, and I walked over to them, since most of them were still on the Going Merry. "By the way, my name is Saké." I smiled softly at them.

"Like the alcohol?" Nami asked.

"Yes, like the alcohol," I answered her with a small laugh.

"Who names their kid after alcohol?" she seemed to ask herself

"I have been asking myself that for years, and I still don't have the answer," I replied good-naturedly.

"Well, my name is Nami. I am the navigator of this ship," she told me and she held out her hand for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you." I shook her hand. I let go and started heading onto the ship. After I climbed up and got onto the deck, I looked around. The Going Merry was a lot bigger than I thought it was. She was beautiful. I always dreamed of being on the Merry and now that I was, I thought that I might go into shock.

"My name is Luffy, and I am going to be the King of the Pirates," Luffy told me, introducing himself with a huge grin on his face.

"Nice to meet you. And I have no doubt you will be," I told him as I smiled back. I looked around some more, just thinking about all the things they had done up to this. I was also kind of sad, knowing that the Merry wasn't going to be here much longer.

"I'm Robin, nice to meet you," Robin said as she laid down her book on a table and walked over to me.

"Nice to meet you as well." I smiled. I noticed something and looked down at her feet. I could see Chopper hiding poorly behind her legs. I bent down to his eye level.

"Hello, my name is Saké. What you your name?" I asked with a smile.

"Chopper," he said quietly

"Nice to meet you, Chopper," I said, and he began to blush.

"My name is Usopp. The captain of this ship!" Usopp said as he stood like he was a king or something.

"Nice to meet you, but I doubt you're the captain. You need to find a better place to put that line. Preferably before Luffy says he's going to be the King of the Pirates," I told with a grin on my face. He looked at me miserably and I could hear many of the other Straw Hats laughing in the background.

"That was a good one," Nami said. "Now, about that money, you said you would pay us for taking you to Water 7..."

"Thanks." I smiled at her. "Yup, here you go," I said, handing her the money.

"Saké-san." I heard someone say my name and I went a bit blue. " It's very nice to meet a beautiful woman like yourself. My name is Sanji. I'll cook you anything you will like." He got down on one knee in front me held my hand, giving it a little kiss.

"Nice to meet you, Sanji." I put on a smile on my face. I started to slowly turn my hand into fire. When it got really hot, he let go and blew on it. My hand went back to normal.

"What just happened?" I heard the last Straw Hat on the ship ask.

"I don't know. He just held my hand, telling me what his name is and the next thing is he let go of it," I said, a little disappointed as I looked up at the guy. It was Zoro. I felt myself fangirl a bit in my mind. I had never thought I would actually meet him in person.

"Wow, eyebrow, you were mean to a girl for once." He looked at Sanji.

"No I wasn't, moss head! Her hand got really hot for some odd reason," he almost yelled a Zoro.

"There is nothing wrong with my hand, see?" I held it up.

"Yeah, I can see that," he muttered.

"Everyone here's told me their name but you. What is it?" I asked, looking up to him as I smiled.

"Zoro," he said as he walked way. Most likely to lay down and sleep.

"Nice to meet you," I replied as I watched him walk away.

"Well, let's get going, everyone," Nami yelled to the crew.

I watched and they set sail again. It was amazing how everyone worked together to get everything done and to get back to sailing. Right before we had gone too far from the track, I ran to the rail and said good bye to Ms. Kokoro. And then we were gone.

It had been awhile since we began sailing. I'd been walking around the Merry, looking at all the rooms. I knew the Merry wasn't going to be around much longer and I wanted to see everything.

"SAKÉ!" I head someone yell my name as I was walking out of the kitchen.

I looked over and saw Luffy, Usopp and Chopper running over to me. "What's up?" I asked.

"Can you show us more of your ability?" Luffy asked like he was looking at something awesome. I started to laugh.

"Sure, but let's to it on the main deck," I suggested as I walked that way.

When we got on to the deck, I turned and then asked, "Is there anything you want to me to turn into?" I looked at them.

"Meat!" Luffy said.

I laughed a little. "I can't turn into meat, sorry." I could, but I wasn't in the mood to be bitten. "Okay, here are the rules to me shifting. I can only do one thing at a time. Like, I can turn into a person but my clothes will stay, or I can change the outfit I am wearing into anything I want. I can only turn into things that are no bigger than twice my size or as small as a house cat. However, as long as it's within those rules, I should be able to do it," I told them, and for the next few hours, I was turning from one thing to the next. It was fun. I couldn't reminder the last time I had this much fun.

Back home with Rum, it was more about work and school. That was all. I mean, Rum and I always went out and did things together and have a great time, but it was rare. Even here, and even though I haven't been here for more than a few hours, I already was having a great time. I really hoped I could stay with them.

It had been a few hours and I had stopped shifting a while back. I had never did that much in a such a short amount of time before, so I was kinda tried. Sanji brought me something nice and cold to drink. I was very grateful for that.

"Hey, Saké." I looked up and saw Nami standing next to where I was sitting, which wasn't too far from a sleeping Zoro. "May I join you?" she asked.

"Sure," I told her. She sat down.

"Can I ask you something?" she inquired.

"You just did ,but go ahead," I answered, a small laugh escaping my lips.

"What are you plans once we get to Water 7?" she asked. I looked up towards the sky, thinking.

Then I said, "To be honest, I'm not sure yet. I have to do a few things. So, once I am done with them, then I'll decide what I should do." I look over at her with a smile.

"What kind of things are you doing?" She looked a little down for some odd reason.

"Well, I have to go a get some weapons. I can't do much longer without any. I also need to get back into practice with them. Um I also need to look into some other things, but I'm sorry to say I'm not sure what I'm looking for."

"Weapons? What kinds do you use?" she asked, looking a little surprised.

"Yeah. I can use almost anything, but I prefer fans. They're the best," I said with a grin.

"I see." She looked at me before getting up and looking around. The next thing she did was running to the rail and calling everyone over. We went over, and there was Water 7. It was so cool and big. I loved the way it looked. I never thought I would see this place. I wondered if I could meet Iceburg. I always thought he was a...cool guy.

"Wow, it's huge!" I said out loud.

For the next couple of hours, we docked Merry so we could go into town. Once we were docked and everything was set, I grabbed my bag and walked over to the group.

"Thank you very much for the ride. I had a great time," I said with a smile. "I hope to see you guys in the future." I turned to get off the Merry. I hadn't even gotten very far when I head Luffy call out to me, and I turned to see him.

"SAKÉ!" Luffy yelled out.

"Yes, Luffy, I'm not that far yet you don't need to yell," I said with a giggle.

"Join us!" he said with his big grin, and it was more of a demand than a question.

"Hmm, let me think about it. I will meet you with you guys right before you guys leave to give you my answer. I have a few things to do. Is that okay with you?" I asked him with a smile.

"Sure, but it better be a yes," he told me

I stated to laugh. "Whatever you say, Luffy." I smiled and waved as I left to go into town.

(Rum POV)

Saké was now well on her way to meet up with the Straw Hats. Hopefully she'll be able to join their crew, which with Luffy's personality, she should be able to. I grinned to myself. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. Hell, this had got to be one of the best things to happen to me. Well, us. I was settling into the spot in one of the engine rooms where I was hiding.
