Chapter 2: The Lost Jewel
Boom! Crash!
''AHH! HELP ME! HELP ME! I'M BEING ATTACKED!'' Usopp yelled to the top of his lungs with tears falling from his eyes like a water fall.
His cries for help didn't go unnoticed because everyone was in a race towards him. Only to see him flailing around on the deck in a panic.
''Hey Usopp, Is this the enemy you were talking about?'' Zoro said with all three swords ready for action wearing a heavy scowl on his face pointing his blade at an object curled up in Robin's arms.
Usopp stood up brushing himself off to see that this object was just a little white tiger cub. He could only look around at the faces of disapproval at his act of being attacked, The only one not frowning was Luffy who couldn't keep his eyes off of the little cub.
''I'm sorry guy's I guess I got a bit carried away, Hehe.'' Usopp said rubbing the back of his head and hoping that he wouldn't be beat to a pulp.
''It's alright Mr. Snipper, But I wonder where this little one came from. I've never heard of a tiger in a place like this before, I wonder if she is lost?'' Robin said after examining the white tiger cub now purring in bliss in her arms. She could only smile at how cute she was.
''Actually, I am lost. Could you all help me?'' The Tiger Cub said in a calm tone looking straight into Robin's eyes with hope. While everyone else was staring at the little cub in pure astonishment, Including Luffy.
''Did that tiger cub just talk?'' Nami asked with her heart racing ready to run for her life.
''No I don't think so, Let's just go to bed before we start dreaming of other weird stuff.'' Usopp said in a hurry while trembling in fear trying to get everyone back to bed.
''Hey Robin, Put it down for a minute.'' Luffy said while walking towards Robin.
Robin put the cub down and walked back to the stairs with everyone else.
''Yohoho!, Luffy what are you going to do to it? Brook asked.
Luffy sat in front of the little cub staring at it closely to see if the cub really did just talk or not.
''My name is Monkey D. Luffy, I am going to be the Pirate King. What's your name?'' Luffy said in a slow pace to make sure the cub heard everything he said correctly.
Jewel thought for a second. Looking at his crew then back to Luffy. Wondering whether she should really say anything. Finally coming to an agreement with herself. She put on the best smile she could give in her cub form.
''It's very nice to meet you Monkey D. Luffy, My name is Jewel Sandoria.'' Jewel said with a happy smile on her face.
Luffy couldn't contain his happiness once he heard the little cub speak and broke into a dancing fit. While Usopp was shaking at the knees, Robin smiled, and Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Chopper, and Brook had their chins to the floor in disbelief. Luffy stopped dancing and bent down to the cub again to ask.
''Will you join my crew?'' Luffy asked with a very big smile on his face and eyes gleaming in excitement.
''Stop asking weird creatures to join the crew!'' Nami, Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp yelled, All giving him a good whack on the head.
''I'm really not a creature or any kind of animal at all. I was cursed into this form by Evana, And I can't change back fully unless I find a certain crystal in the South Blue. Which is why I asked could you help me.'' Jewel said with a sad look on her face as if she was about to cry.
Nami and Robin noticed this and looked to each other thinking the same thing.
''Well first we need to know a little more about you and what exactly happened to you.'' Robin said.
''Then we might be able to help you, Okay.'' Nami said giving her a smile and look of concern.
''Okay.'' Jewel said taking a seat in the middle of the deck while everybody gathered around her waiting to hear her story.
Author's Note: (It is a very long story)
''Well when my parents were younger in the South Blue there was a woman named Evana who knew my father ever since they were children, She was in love with my father. His name is Hector Sandoria but him being the sniper of a pirate crew and her the daughter of a marine captain who wanted him dead. He apologized and told her it wouldn't work out well because he wanted to stay a pirate and wouldn't lie to his crew members to get them all caught to earn her father's approval. He also said that he already had his eyes set on someone else. So out of rage and jealousy she searched to find who that woman was.
That woman was my mother Jackie Abernathy. My mother was a sword maker and a swordsman, She was also a librarian. My mother also happens to be an Ohara survivor. Unlike Evana, Instead of trying to make my father change his ways she agreed to stand by him. But once news broke of them having me Evana's rage grew even more than in the beginning. Afterwards she went to a woman that lives in the East Blue to buy potions.
One to kill my mother and one to make my father fall in love with her. And she would give me to that woman as a slave. The woman agreed but she asked Evana before letting her leave if that is what she truly wanted because the curse may not be what she expects it to be. She told her that she would be much happier to meet someone that loves her for herself because true love is something that even a potion can't give someone. Evana told her that wasn't what she wanted, She wanted my father and no one else. The woman agreed then told Evana that if she should fail she would suffer a terrible fate, Evana agreed and left without a trace.
When she returned I had been born and my mother hid me so I would be safe from her. When I was 2 months old my father came back for a while to be there with my mother and me. He stayed until I was 6 months. A week from when he was supposed to leave he went out to meet his captain and crew to talk about their voyage and his captain asked him if he was sure he didn't want to stay behind to keep us safe instead. My father said that he had already found somewhere for us to hide until he returned and that we would be fine.
He spent so much time trying to keep us safe he never gave attention to his self. That night someone poisoned his drink but it wasn't Evana, It was her father, He used the potion that was supposed to be given to my mother. My father died before anyone could treat him. Evana vanished once he died. Some months after his funeral my mother took me and went to the North Blue.
My mother had gotten very sick and soon died when I was 9. So my mother's friend who also stayed in the North Blue raised me for her and a year ago when I turned 15 I moved back here alone. Only to run into to Evana and while running from her in my full devil fruit form she knocked me unconscious and I woke up like this in this forest.'' Jewel said almost breaking down while telling her story.
''That's the saddest thing I ever heard!'' Franky said while sobbing.
''Yea don't worry we'll help you!'' Usopp, Sanji, Luffy, Brook, and Chopper said while crying.
''You've been through a lot Jewel, I admire you for how brave you are. Which reminds me if you moved back to the South Blue at 15 you're 16 right?'' Nami said and asked. But before Jewel could answer Robin spoke.
''Full devil fruit form?, Jewel what devil fruit form do you have?'' Robin asked. The question catching everyone's full attention.
''I have the Cat-Cat Fruit, Model Tiger. Since I was running while in the my full form and I've turned into a cub I'm guessing if I was running as my usual self I would be a baby instead, And yes you're right I'm 16 years old.'' Jewel said.
''You're a Zoan type devil fruit user, Can you still change into other forms? Robin asked.
''I can change from an adult tiger to a cub but that's it, So far I've just stayed in my cub form.'' Jewel said.
''Well we'll finish this in the morning. Right now everybody needs to sleep, We have a lot to do in the morning'' Sanji said.
''Yes, Mr. Cook is right so for now it's time to sleep. Jewel you can sleep with me if you like.'' Robin said while giving a big smile.
''Huh?!, So you all are really going to help me.'' Jewel asked taken aback at how easily they were willing to help her even though they don't know her.
While looking at all of them with smiles on their faces shaking their heads in approval she couldn't help but let out all of her tears.
''Thank you all so much for helping me I promise when this is over you will be rewarded greatly, Even though you know nothing about me you're still willing to help! Thank you so very much!'' Jewel yelled as loud as she could so the Straw Hat crew would see just how grateful she was to them.
She slept that night curled up on Robin's bed in the Thousand Sunny sleeping with a happy and relieved smile on her face.
