"Luffy? You ok?" Zoro asked as Luffy walked over to the group with a grin on his face, Luffy laughed softly in response to the question.

"Where's Asha?" Sanji asked as he started to look around in search of the named girl.

"She wanted to draw some more plants." Luffy smiled

"Dont get hurt kid." Asha heard someone say as she quickly turned around to see a familiar face standing in the distance.

"Marco? What are you doing here?" Asha asked as she stood up and slowly approached the man.

"I'm here on behalf of your mother. Follow me." Marco stated as he started to walk away. Asha stood up silently and followed Marco for several minutes.

"Hello Asha." Asha heard a soft voice say as a tall blond came into her line of vision. "You've grown so much." The women's eyes started to water as she reached out her arms and came closer to Asha who moved further backwards at her approach. "Sorry I shouldn't have tried to hug you."

"Asha this is your mother." Marco stared blankly

"Why are you here?" Asha asked as she looked curiously at the women in front of her.

"You need to come with me Asha." She replied bluntly

"Thats a command not an answer to my question."

"Black beard he will find you soon."

"So?"

"Come with me. It will protect both you and Luffy."

"Going with you will keep Luffy safe?"

"At the moment black beard is more interested in you. So in theory it will keep Luffy safe."

Asha looked down at her hands fiddling with her fingers as she wondered what the right thing to do was. She wanted Luffy to be safe but didn't want to leave him after just finding him once more. 'If I stay I put him in danger.. I have to go.' Asha said to her self as she came to a decision.

"I'll go with you." Asha stated quitly as she looked up from her hands slightly.

"Get your things quickly no time to say goodbye." Serenade stated "My ship is just there" She said pointing to her ship you could see through the trees. Asha nodded in response as she began to walk back to where luffy and his crew are.

"Ashaaaaaa! Do you want some food!" Sanji swooned as she came closer to the group. Luffy smiled brightly up at her but she said nothing and looked quickly away.

"You ok red?" Zoro asked with concern.

Asha jumped on the ship quickly grabbing her bag and putting it over her shoulder before picking up her swords. "Sorry Luffy I can't be part of your crew I don't belong here, goodbye." She stated as she quickly walked back in to the forest towards her mother's ship.

Luffy got up quickly in aim to follow her but she was already out of sight.

"ASHA!" Luffy yelled as he ran aimlessly through the forest trying to locate the red haired girl.

Asha wiped a tear that had fallen from her tear filled eyes as she heard Luffy calling her name.

"I know it's hard but it will be ok." Serenade stated as she tried to put her arm around her daughter.

"Don't touch me. I don't know you, stop acting like you know me!" Asha stated abruptly before wondering around the ship to find Marco.
