Hey bros! How are you doing this fine week? The next chapter will probably take some time, because yah know; I got a project for school I got to do. Mainly cause my group will top the group from last semester that was the best. Our building will definitely be better!

I also just noticed that I stopped placing Merchant Days at the top but oh well I just don't give a (insert curse word here), so yup.

Anyways on with the show!

"Oooooooh! What's out in the ocean! To where I'm going I don't know!" I sang happily as I felt the day just felt better than it usually was. Don't get me wrong here, nothing bad had happened but it just felt more like… bliss. Nothing had really happened lately, even when I went to an island to restock on supplies. It just felt so normal. Nothing happening at all, if I didn't know any better a storm is brewing and I'm going to be near the epicenter of it.

I looked back towards my new boat. I had gotten a new boat a few days ago when I had stopped for my supplies. It was pretty average looking too.

"Hey! Get your boats here at Broadleaf Boat Store!" There was a man who had been shouting and waving a bell over and over. He looked to be about 43 or 44 years old. He was roundish in shape with a grey goatee and was bald except around the edges of his head. He had on old fisherman clothes so that must've meant he was probably a fisherman before.

I started to walk up to him as I analyzed him a bit more to get a good idea of the kind of person he was. While walking towards him, he saw me and got off of the box he was on.

"So, miss you want a boat?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking about getting one lately."

"Well I have a great deal for you!" He had started ranting as he led me toward his boat shop about how I could buy some fishing stuff and I'll get 20% off on the boat. Which was pretty good, since he was selling pretty neat stuff for fishing and boats in general, so I took his deal and went off to look at the boats.

I took my time in checking all the boats making sure they were not damaged or such at first, to make sure the deals weren't good because of problems the boats might have. All the boats had some damage here and there but nothing too life threatening if I were to use it. However, I could never make myself ride something that didn't have a cool story to it unless it's my first boat which is garbage but personal to an extent.

I had gone back to the mister on if some of them had story behind them that would make them stand out. Unfortunately there was nothing about any of them except some washed ashore while others he had rebuilt or made from scratch. If I couldn't find anything I would just pick the coolest boat there was.

Yet when I arrived back I had an urge that I followed as it kept bugging me. I followed out of the shop telling the mister I would be back shortly while walking through the streets. The dirt road wasn't anything amazing but there was something somewhere calling me towards it. I looked at the shops to see if anything was weird but there were only restaurants or smiths here and there littered around.

I kept moving through every nook and cranny looking around for whatever was calling me. Eventually after 30 minutes of looking around I had found nothing. Starting to get angry with the results so far I had taken back to the shop only to find out that he was gone and there was a sign out that said he was at the shore.

Following directions of the townsfolk I had made my way to Wood Shore which took about 20 minutes to reach from the boat shop, as there was a pretty clear path to it for boats that would be bought eventually to be taken out to sea. When reaching my destination my senses were going on and off when seeing the old man next to a wrecked ship.

"Mister! What do you have there?" I asked.

"I was told a few minutes after you left about a shipwreck on shore." He answered.

I went closer to the ship to see just how wrecked it was. It was maybe about 4 times the size of the dingy that I started with, even though I call it a boat. It had a small mast that seemed to go well with its size without harming its capabilities. While checking the rest of it over I had taken in notes of the ship with its small but big enough cargo bay to hold my stuff and it had a little room of sort that was near the back side of the ship that had the steering wheel along with some simple utensils that I could later place in it. There were many things missing in the ship but nothing I couldn't fix or replace. However there was a gashing hole at the underside with a rock that spiked right through the bathroom I presumed along with the storage bay.

No other major damages were found on the ship when I checked it. Finally I noticed the feeling I had earlier was back except it was more of a comfortable feeling when I stared at the ship, at least that's how I felt until the man shook me.

"Miss, you've been staring at this for a while. Do you want me to repair this ship for you?" He asked.

"Yes that would be nice mister." I replied

"You know everyone calls me Katu, just call me by that."

"Alright, Katu."

Evidently he was a nice man, as he had fixed the ship for free and didn't charge me anything except for actually buying the other supplies. It had taken a week for him to fix it, but I had confidence in his skills even though he was quite joking with his looks and such.

"Katu, I have a question?"

"What's up miss?"

"Whenever you build the ships don't you ever miss them or something as they leave?"

"Of course I miss those ships I make! I wouldn't be selling them if I didn't. Mainly because if I don't like them how will anyone else love them just as much as I do."

His answer intrigued me a bit with how much passion was in his voice. Still no need to fret over this talk either as I need to get going soon if I want to travel more. After our little talk both of us along with some others help move my new ship from the shop back onto the beach to place into the water.

Even after fixing it I could still feel a faint feeling every time it passed by me. As though it had been calling me I finally proceeded to get on it after it was placed in the water. Having used wood from the dingy I had left my items in the shop and brought them with me on this day to store in the storage bay of the ship.

It had occurred to me many times that the ship was calling me, but I had ignored it till the ship was done being fixed so that I could bask in its glory once it was done and over with. With the boat finally complete I left, but not without leaving a note for the man along with my name. So that someday if I come back I can enjoy some more of his ridiculous stories that he had told about, while I had helped him with removing wood off of my old dingy. Never did I think many of his stories were honestly true but each and every one had some sort of knowledge that I could recall later on if I needed to.

Those people were really nice people I had decided, but anyways I need to figure out what I need to do now. I was sitting on my bed after walking back inside to check my map on where to go next. While I was quite quant with my current travels I could only hope for something bad not to happen soon.

"Hey everyone on the boat, come on out now!"

And, I spoke to soon. There was a shout outside the room probably from a boat nearby. I had opened the doorway out of my room and climbed up the ladder onto my deck. I looked on to see a pirate ship; I guessed by the jolly roger that was connected to their mast. I had looked up to see a group of pirates, I supposedly thought, as they were ranting to me.

"Only a woman, hah this will be an easy ship to loot!" They cheered together.

I just looked on as they started to prepare to board shouting out that they were the Cross Pirates and that their captain Rose Cross had a 2 million bounty on his head. Surprisingly they thought that was a good bounty for a pirate. What kind of garbage have I stumbled upon on accident? They kept on climbing down till half their crew of 12 got onto my boat.

I felt quite angered that they thought they could just storm onto my ship as I released some killing intent against them. The six on my ship freezed immediately with my killing intent, I then slowly talked to all of them. With my eyes slowly darkening as I pulled my salmon cowboy hat to cover my eyes.

"If you get any more of your filthy selves onto my ship I will rip your body parts to shreds and feed you to the sharks. Or if you prefer I can cut pieces of your body off till there is a point that you feel no more pain. Would that be good?"

My threat took effect as the 6 crew members on my ship stumbled, but surely ran back onto the boat. Just when I thought I could leave their captain had to screw their lives up.

"What do you think you're doing she is only a teenager probably. There's nothing she can do, now go on and attack her already."

Slowly coming back they tried to attack with their cutlasses but I dodged all their weapons. As each of them tried to hit me I fluidly like the wind jumped between people making them hit each other. While they didn't notice I had started to build up on wind power, so that I could destroy their ship along with them being pirates at all.

Their slashing came slowly as I bent my head left and did a backflip while they tried to slash my upper torso along with my calves. After swiftly moving about I grabbed the 6 pirates heads and shoved them towards their ship till they were on the edge of my ship. With them finally on the edge of falling off I finally attacked back.

"Holy Wind Blow"

With my words spoken I had opened my right hand into my palm facing perpendicular to their ship and shot out the attack at the ship for it to completely strip its side of its wooden base along with pushing it very far till I couldn't see it any more.

Yeah that's right who the hell did those pirates think they were? All high and mighty with their bounties, if anything I could probably take anybody down in all the blues. I hardily laughed with my thoughts and proceeded to go back to my quarter only for another ship to come by except it was a marine ship. Their officer came onto my ship and asked me about any pirates nearby.

"Miss, sorry to interrupt your day but have you seen any pirates that have come by lately?"

I could only grin as I answered, "Sorry sir, but I haven't seen any hooligans come by." For extra measure I used my innocent voice along with a girly air to make him believe me, which worked as he blushed and excused himself from my ship. I continued to sail in the opposite direction of them as I couldn't hold my laugh anymore.

"Hahahaha! Hooligans what is wrong with them! Stupid marine couldn't even help himself from blushing!" I kept telling myself.

Who knew that they would believe my frail girly act? Funny at how they didn't question me about being the only passenger on the ship but who cares, because I definitely don't! Ah, might as well continue on my journey. Hopefully I don't run into any troubles for the rest of today. With the time being about 5pm, I went back into my boat's interior and shut my door.

However, not without putting a little sign on the door that said "When did I care?" I'm definitely going to get some guests on the boat for this to actually make since. I happily told myself when I removed the bed sheets to the point that I could slide under it and get some sleep before the morning comes.

Yeah that's right she be a thug with when she can sleep! But anyways it never occurred to me that I change how I type up things every time I put something out. Since I just went back to see my style it completely switches after chapter 2. Funny as how I actually forgot how I started typing up this story. Also along with the fact that I'm probably going to be changing how I type a good amount of times as I grow as a writer. Possibly in the near future I actually might be able to type up more detail in fights in stuff but at my current level alas I am not able to give you good fights. Then again there are not going to be any real fights probably until I hit the Grand Line. Which will probably be I don't know 10-50 chapters. Yeah I don't know myself but I know for sure I want the amount of chapters to be in this range. For now I stick to petty thugs and marines who can't really do anything as she(Rogue) usually steers clear of people so she doesn't waste her time.

Still however I may, as I said at the beginning, take some time during the next few weeks for school but I don't know too much as of yet but eventually I'll be back.

Anyways with the boring talk thanks to Black Night Wolf for beta'ing and as always stay Quackful!
