Chapter 3

Shiro agreed to become a Straw hat pirate. She couldn't wait to set sail into the ocean. Luffy left her alone to go sit on the lion head. The new crew member continued to watch the sea in front of her. Suddenly she felt a small pain and went to the back of the boat where she would be alone. Shiro sat down against the door and a white mist appeared out of her chest. It looked like an owl. "Try not to get beaten to death next time Shiro! And really? A PIRATE?!" the misty owl said.

"Shut up Arc, I was helpless okay? I didn't have strength and mother gave me you so you could protect me! And you know how much I love pirates, plus they helped me!" Shiro whispered angrily at him. The mention of her mother nearly brought her tears.

Arc flew down to the ground and folded it's wings like it had human arms. "Riiight no strength. It's not like I haven't heard that one before!" sigh. "Let's just keep a bit quiet for now okay?" he said and she nodded. The misty owl flew back into her chest and disappeared.

Shiro jumped when she heard Nami come up. "Who are you to Shiro-chan?" she asked. "N-no one...just myself." Shiro said.

Nami shrugged and went back to doing her work. She sighed with relief and walked back to the main deck. The young girl walked up to the lion head and climbed on. "Hi Luffy." she greeted him and sat next to him.

"Hey Shiro!" Luffy greeted back and made more room for her. He leaned back against the mane of the head. Straw hat stared at the sky and thought about his new nakama. Meanwhile Shiro looked down at her hands where a mini Arc popped through her hand. It tilted it's head towards Luffy and went back into her body. She was about to say something until a voice interrupted her.

"How about a song everyone? Yohohohohoho!" a skeleton stood in the middle of the deck and had a violin in hand. He began playing a soothing tune on it. She had recognized the tune that she heard pirates that came here sing. Shiro swayed at the rhyme of the song and hummed the lyrics.

Luffy noticed her humming and smiled. He closed his eyes to relax but opened them when Nami spoke. "Captain! The log post has set to the next island!" she yelled. He pouted and whispered, "Already?"

Straw hat stood up and faced his crew. "YOSH! LET GO!" he yelled excitedly. At that time Nami began giving orders and everyone went to work. The sails fell and the ship began moving. A cool breeze blew into her white hair with the smell of the sea going into her nose. Arc began pecking at her, he was still in his mini form. She got ticked off and slammed her palm on him.

She got up and walked onto the deck and sat down on the bench. Shiro watched as the tall skeleton walked up to her. He placed a hand on his chest and bowed. "Hello, my name is Brook," he stopped and looked at her, he continued. "May I see your panties?"

Sanji was about to kick Brook in the face but Shiro did it first. She jumped in the air and gave him a good kick in the face making him fly and fall into the ground. "IN YOUR DREAMS!" she yelled and landed back on her feet. The cook's eyes turned into hearts.

"Oh she's so fierce!~" he said. The green haired swordsman got up and looked at Sanji.

"Shut up ero-cook." he said and Sanji's heart eyes disappeared and looked at him angrily. "What did you say moss-head?" the cook asked and the two began to argue and fight.

A long nosed man with an Afro walked up beside her. "Those two can just never get along." he said and crossed his arms. He looked at Shiro and smiled. "I guess you haven't met all of the crew. I'm Usopp, the green haired swordsman is Zoro, the cyborg is Franky." he was stopped when Franky did a pose and yelled, 'SUUUUPPPERR!' "The girl with the log post is our navigator Nami, and the woman reading over there is Robin." he finished and everyone smiled at her except for Zoro. It took him a bit before giving her a greeting smile.

Brook got back up, he had a big bump on his head from Shiro's fierce kick. "You're pretty strong for a girl like you." Robin pointed out. Shiro rubbed her neck in embarrassment. "Heh, you really think so?" she said but after she fell back and Chopper quickly ran over to her.

"I told you not too move so much!" he said and Usopp helped her up. Luffy tilted his head jumped off the lion head. "Sorry , I was a bit careless there I guess." she said smiling weakly. Chopper turned into his Heavy point and helped her walk to the infirmary.

Luffy was a bit worried about his new friend, hoping that she was okay. 'Now that I think of it, I've been thinking a lot about Shiro.' he thought and stared at the infirmary door. Meanwhile, Chopper was taking her bandages off and looking at her wounds. He got clean bandages but continued to look at her wounds. "You have reopened one of your wounds. I'll have to clean and bandage it again. I suggest you get some rest when I finish, okay?" Chopper explained and she nodded.

Chopper asked her to lift her shirt up and she did as the doctor said. There was a big scratch going across her stomach. The stitches he had put in while Luffy slept yesterday were loosening. "This is gonna hurt, a lot." Chopper said before cleaning the blood around the would. A hiss came out of her mouth as he restitched it and bandaged it. She put her shirt down and sighed. "Now rest as I said." he then left the room to leave Shiro alone to sleep.

Arc came out of her body and he landed next to her on the bed. The white misty owl looked worried at her. He pressed his forehead against hers so she could hear what the others were saying outside the infirmary. "Chopper is she okay?" asked Luffy. "She's not gonna d-die is she?" the voices of Nami and Usopp said at the same time.

"No, just a wound that she opened up." he explained.

"Reopening a wound? But i didn't see any of the men cut her or anything." Luffy said. "Maybe it happened when you weren't there and she tried to hold strong. Either way she needs rest." Chopper told his captain.

Arc pulled his forehead away from hers and chuckled. "He's really worried about you, I can feel it." he said and Shiro blushed lightly. "Anyway, you heard the raccoon, you need to rest." Arc said and she smacked his head.

"He's not a raccoon you idiot! Chopper is a reindeer!" she said angrily and Arc disappeared. Sighing, Shiro turned to her side and slowly fell asleep.

'It's cold...' she thought as she dreamed. Everything was black but she slowly appeared in a snowy mountain. "Where am I? Arc? Luffy? Chopper? ARC? LUFFY?" she yelled in her dream. A cold gust blew out of nowhere and Shiro was wearing nothing but summer clothes in her dream. Suddenly the coldness melted away and felt something warm her up. It put a smile on her face.

Luffy had walked in on Shiro sleeping. She was shivering like crazy! Being Luffy he kinda panicked on what to do. He quickly laid next to her wrapping his arms around her. Trying to give her warmth and soon, she stopped shivering. A smile appeared on her face as she snuggled closer to Luffy nuzzling her face into his chest. Luffy sighed and smiled. He guessed that he would have to stay there so she didn't freeze again.
