Hey readers, if you love One Piece then I recommend that you type into YouTube this video. Personally I think that it is really touching and even though it's in Japanese it sill made my feel like crying. So, type in one piece in 6 minutes (Happy birthday to DNubsPro) It's sooo good. Also very sorry for late update, I have reasons though:

My birthday

X-mas

New Year

Family were over, and I had to baby sit

Re-training my horse :) any of you readers from my other story will know her as the one who bucked me off and made me fracture my wrist.

Please enjoy and review. P.S: Im working in that story for the tenth reviewer, it's going to be a FrankyxUsopp fanfic, by their request.

"When are we gonna reach land anyway?" Zoro asked frustrated.

"Dunno, just sailing on the waves going where they take us." I answered my head hanging over the side of the boat.

"We may not ever reach the land. Nah, I guess we will someday." Luffy added in a dull tone.

Luffy and Zoro then got into a mini argument and Zoro rocked the boat, causing Luffy's hat to go flying. Zoro saved Luffy's hat And handed it back to him. Luffy had a hold of his hat and we both stared into it, remembering.

"Shanks, you have to take me with you! I wanna be a pirate, just like you!" Yelled a small Luffy with a grin too bit for his face.

"Hahaha, like you could ever be a pirate." Shanks answered smugly.

"SHANKS, SHANKS!" yelled a distressed woman with short green hair.

"Makino, what's wrong?"

"Quick, I found a small girl!"

Shanks got up and ran out the door followed by Luffy. They both followed Makino to the beach and there she was, a small girl with black hair and freckles, face down at knee deep in the water. (Knee height for Shanks, that is) She looked extremely de-hydrated and like she had gone without food for at least a week. Shanks picked her up carfully and carried her back to the bar where Makino treated to her.

"She's awake!" I heard someone yell.

"Oi, Luffy don't shout." A man said. I rolled over and opened my eyes, I saw a small boy about the same age as me right in my face. He gave me a really big grin...just like dad had on his execution day. I remember my foster mother telling me. I began to cry.

"Hey, what's wrong sweetie?" A kind lady with green hair asked me.

"D-daddy's execution." I stuttered out. The room went silent.

"Who was your father?" The man with red hair asked.

"G-g-gol D. R-Rodger." I muttered. They all looked at me like I had a tail and wings."My nanni told me about him, because it was Mummies wish for me to know. She also said that I have a brother, and she told me that daddy as executed because he was a b-bad man!"

The woman held a hand to her mouth, the man just stared at me, wide eyes and mouth agape, and the boy looked up at the roof and whispered "Awesome". He looked like he was going to faint in excitment.

After I calmed down, I introduced myself to them all and found out that the woman was called Makino, the man was called Shanks and the boy was Monkey D. Luffy. Shanks was a part of daddy's crew. I stayed with Makino in her house for a week until those bandits came. They trashed the bar and soaked Shanks in boos. That's when Luffy had his outburst, he turned around to eat and then saw the box next to me. He pointed to it and we shared the fruit, Shanks realised what we were eating and picked us up by the feet saying, "SPIT IT OUT, RIGHT NOW!"

That's when our heads stretched and then snapped back into place. "W-what's going on?" We asked. Shanks then told us about the Devil Fruit that we had eaten.

"NO WAY, IT CAN'T!" we exclaimed.

"YOU DUMBASSES!" Shanks said back.

Later that day was when the bandits came back, they started to bad mouth Shank's ad Luffy and I started to yell at them and try to punch them. They stole Luffy and I for standing up for Shanks and then Shanks came after us, but it was too late, the bandit escaped and chucked us into the ocean. Luffy and I were splashing about in the water when a HUGE sea king came out and ate the bandit. But, then it turned its ugly head to us.

The next thing we know an arm is wrapped around us and pulled us to safety. When I look up I notice that it was Shanks and the giant monster had eaten his arm.

"I'm in your debt Luffy, Leah. Makino told me everything about how you stood up for me, against the bandits." At this stage Luffy and I were bawling our eyes out and clinging to his shirt. "You can't cry now. Your both grown ups."

"But Shanks, your arm. YOUR ARM!" we both screamed.

"It's just an arm, I've got another one, I'm just glad your ok."

Later the next day I saw Shanks giving Luffy his straw hat as he went to leave, I smiled at the promise they made. Shanks then turned to me. He reached into his pocket and brought out a small box. He gave it to me and told me that it was my mothers and that daddy had given it to her as a wedding gift, and that dad had told Shanks to take care of it for him. Finally he told Luffy to protect me with his life, because I was his dear captains daughter, therefore he treated me like his own daughter.

Luffy and I were jolted out of the memory when Zoro called his name, saying that he would loose it again if he wasn't careful. Luffy nodded and placed it onto my head. I smiled at him and held my gift in my hand.

"What's that?" Zoro asked me pointing at my necklace.

"I'll... tell you later, after we fight, then I'll explain everything." I answered.

He shrugged, "I'm so hungry it's killing me." Zoro exclaimed.

Luffy then looked up at the sky and noticed a bird flying above us. He nudged me in the side and got me to look at it. He stood up and picked me up over his shoulder, I punched his face and yelled "Why me? WHY NOT GRAB ZORO, WHY IS IT ALLWAYS MEEEEE!" But he jumped not even listening to me. (A/N When does he ever listen, unless it got something to do with food. LOL)

As we got close Luffy's head got stuck in the birds mouth. "HEEEEEEEELP!" I screamed and immediately I saw Zoro working his ass off to row the boat after us. Suddenly there was a large explosion and a cannon ball was shot at the bird. "Ahhh, shit!" I said.

Luffy grabbed my wrist and pulled me close into his chest as we plummeted towards the ground. We crash landed on his back but stood up almost instantly, -duh we are made of rubber. When we stood up Luffy put a hand on my shoulder. "You ok?" He asked. I rolled my eyes but nodded nodded. Then we said in unison, "At least we are ok and, what just happened to us was awesome." And laughed at the now very old joke. 'TWINS!' I though in my head.

Hehehehe, I hope you all enjoy this story and don't kill me because it's late. I am working on two other stories so hahaha. Pleas R&R and feel free to give me ideas for other stories and this one too. I give credit and-oh shit LUFFY!
