Asha unknown to Luffy was at marine ford she saw Ace die, she saw Luffy break down. She also lost someone she loved because of that battle. Her grandfather, Edward Newgate. She had only met the man a few times in her lifetime and was always told not to tell anyone who her grandfather is. A man she had seen on her grandfather's ship once had killed the very man he served under. Before she could run towards the man who had just killed her grandfather a hand was placed on her shoulder "Darling you're not strong enough to take him on. I can't lose you!" Shanks stated looking at his daughter his eyes begging for her not to fight black beard.
"Dad." Asha said quietly as she hugged her father.
Asha watched as Luffy was thrown to a white bear that was standing on the deck of a submarine that belonged to a man named Trafalgar Law. The man had said he would take Luffy and Jimbie to a safe place and help them as he was a doctor. Asha didn't know what to make of the random appearance of this man but he was thankful that he would save Luffy. Asha bent down to pick up the very straw hat Gold D Roger, her father and Luffy wore. Her father took the hat from his daughter's hands and told Buggy to give it to Luffy.
Asha stood as she looked at a stone slab with her grandfather's name on it Edward Newgate, next to it was Luffy's brothers name Portgas D Ace.
Ever since Asha was born she took her grandmothers name Ari D it was her grandmother's way of protecting Asha from the government if they knew she was the granddaughter of whitebeard and the daughter of Shanks Le Roux and Serenade Newgate and the niece of Dracule Mi Hawk they would hunt her down and execute her for who her family is. Her grandmother had two children a boy who is ten years older than her daughter her son was named Dracule Mi Hawk whom was the son of a man she married but he later left the family shortly after Mi Hawk was born. She later secretly married Edward Newgate and gave birth to their Daughter Serenade while he was at sea. Her grandmother died when Asha was five years old her father had heard about her death and since he was close he came to get his young daughter, which was his first time seeing his daughter since she was born. It was decided that Shanks would give his daughter to Mi Hawk to keep on his island to keep safe. Asha stayed with Shanks for a year and a few month until her uncle raised her. Before Mi Hawk her father taught her how to fight with a sword Asha always chose to fight with two swords and to this day still does she was trained for ten years by her uncle Mi Hawk he trained her everyday he was at the island when he wasn't she was trained everyday by the monkeys. Her mother is the most famous female pirate she made it possible for female pirates to get recognition. Asha doesn't know too much about her mother but according to her uncle she has an all female crew. Whilst living on the island with her uncle she had her grandfathers, mothers, uncles and fathers wanted posters on her wall and when she saw Luffy had a wanted poster she added it to her collection.
Asha knew if her grandmother hadn't died she would have had a chance at a normal life. But her life has been far from normal since her death she was a pirate for a year. She lives on an island where she's trained to sword fight everyday as her uncle and father both know that if her lineage is found out she will be hunted and wanted by the government. There was not much to do she could leave the island and live a normal life now she was old enough to understand or she could follow her dream and find Luffy.
