"Come here butterfye pwease" A little girl with black hair with curls happily said as she chased a butterfly outside a rundown house.

"Ohhh your weally cute. Like weally cute." The girl cooed as the butterfly landed on her arm.

Being careful with the butterfly she tiptoed inside the rundown house and stared at the man who was tinkering with some beakers. The house was pitch black and smelled of rotton food and trash. The man inside wasnt any better, he hadnt looked like he taken a shower in days as his hair was greasy and his clothes were spotted with dirt.

"Hallo Ray wook at the butterfye hims cute huh" She said excitely to the man.

She was smiling at the butterfly still on her arm when she heard footsteps coming her way. She looked up to see Ray walking towards her. Thinking he wanted to see the insect she held her arm for him to fully see. Instead the man grabbed her arm roughly causing the butterfly to fly away in fright. The little girl stared at him instantly scared at the reaction. Ray was pissed off and his eyes were now sending daggers at the girl.

"Listen to me you mistake, I may be your father but Ill be damn if you go walk around this village talking like some ignorant bitch." Ray snarled as he brought her closer to his face. When he continued to speak she was right in front of his face when he screamed "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME"

With that said he pushed her away and walked back to the beakers on the table and their contents. The little girl quickly picked herself up and ran outside with tears down her face. If Ray saw her cry she would get another yelling from him. She ran outside and hid behind a tree and slumped down on the roots. She brought her knees to her chest and hugged them while pressing her forehead against her knees. She sat there silently crying until she felt something on her knee. She looked up to see the butterfly on her knees and couldnt help but smile through her tears. Taking a deep breath she slowly said "Hello...there...buttwa...butter...fly"


"Greycie come out here right now" Zoro yelled from the deck as he ran towards the mens room.

"Zoro calm down Im sure shes just hiding somewhere on the ship." Nami yelled after Zoro.

The crew was tensed and uncomfortable as they finally knew Greycies past. Franky and Brooke finally stopped crying and were now sniffling on the deck. Everyone was a bit restless but Ace was the worst. He kept apologizing to everyone but now after a hundred times only Robin actually gave him a response.

Zoro came back from downstairs and was now storming off the deck.
Nami stopped him by grabbing his arm. She tried to comfort him by saying "Zoro please Im sure shes upset and scared right now please we will find Greycie righ-"

"Shes not on the boat Nami" Zoro snapped as he ripped his arm away from Namis grasp.

"What do you mean" Nami said now worried.

"Her blankets missing, its not here anymore" Zoro explained calmly.

"Which blanket" Sanji asked

"The Marimo blanket, the one I bought for her, the one she sleeps with EVERY NIGHT IS GONE" Zoro now yelled.

The crew didnt say anything at the unexpected reaction from the swordsman but Luffy jumped up and with one hand on his strawhat. He said in a serious voice "Everyone were going to find Greycie right now." Luffy yelled

"I will wait here on the boat in case Greycie shows up it is getting dark quickly. Mabey the darkness will frighten her to go back to the ship" Brooke added

The crew nodded their approval and turned around so they can devise a plan. When they turned around they managed to see Zoro jumping off the railing to the island.

"Oi Zoro we were going to make a plan" Usopp yelled after him.

Either Zoro ignored Usopp or he was to far to hear him the crew couldnt tell. They watched his fading figure and soon moved into action themselves. Before they departed Robin handed each of them a mini den den mushi. "So who ever finds Greycie first can call everyone and please lets not yell her name. We do not want to scare her even more" Robin said as she handed Ace the last den den mushi.

The crew nodded in union and all sprinted in different directions making all their senses on high alert.

"Hello there hun" a young woman called to a little girl.

"Hi Clare" The child answered back excitedly

"I gotcha some bread waiting for you come on inside"

"Really thanks Clare"

The woman laughed and guided the child into the house. She watched the toddler devoured the bread and her smile faded at the childs fast pace at eating. She knew her father never fed her or even cared for the matter. Clare didnt know what would have happened to the child if she wasnt feeding her everytime she walked into town.

"So hun whats been going on" Clare said to try to make conversation

"Umm nothing much Clare" she answered

"You sure are talking better as each day goes by" Clare said in astonishment at the toddler.

"Yeah Ray yelled at me for talking like a child" She answered sadly.

Clare now pouted her lips at what she said in disapproval.
"Remember hun if you need anything you know you can always come here"

"Yeah Clare I know, thank you for the bread it was yummy like really yummy."

Clare laughed but stopped at the sound of yelling turned to see a huge man with curly black hair. He had an ugly face and his body wasnt any better as only wore a black jacket to cover his torso. He was also pants that were coated with dirt. Overall he looked disgusting. When he turned to the side she saw he had a group of men behind him. They were no better than him as they all gave her the creeps.

One looked like a wrestler due to his muscle mass and he was also wearing a wrestling mask. Another one was an older man who was on a horse that looked worse than the man. There was also a man with a gun which she sent daggers at. There was no need for guns in this peaceful village. The last one though made her want to slam the door in anger as a pale thin man with a top hat and crane winked at her and the child that was in her house. Who the hell did they think they were walking into town like this.

"Hun I want to run straight home right now" Clare said as she ran to the counter to wrap some bread so the toddler can have something to eat for dinner. She handed the bread to the child and with an encouraging smile she gently pushed her out."Run home and dont stop nowhere and dont go outside alright. If you do that Ill buy you ice cream again" Clare bribed

"Ice cream really Clare" The little girls eyes shone with happiness.

Clare nodded and gestured her hand for her to go home. She watched as she waved goodbye with an innocent smile and ran home.

Waving back she didnt see the pale man smile behind her at the child running home.


Greycie was alone and trying to stop the memories from flooding her mind. The only comfort was her blanket that smelled like Zoro. She sat there feeling her blanket getting soaked by her tears. She was running in the wilderness jumping over roots and bushes. She was still running when she felt something grab her blanket. She was tugged back and fell to the floor still holding her blanket. She turned to see a long thin hand coming towards her. Terrified she screamed but didnt realize she actually screamed someones name.

Zoro was running not caring about the branches that scratched him or anything at all right now. His mind was only on one person. He was about to turn back and see if maybe Greycie was back on the ship. It was already pitch black in the forest and he was getting worried every second. He was about to move when he heard a scream that sent chills down his spine.

"ZORO HELP"
