So, the time has come.

It shall be revealed who she is.

Enjoy :)

Introducing myself

Sally steps out of the shower and dries herself in the steamed-up room. It really felt good to have a shower after a few days of being chased. Sally never felt so refreshed. She looked refreshed too. Looking through all the cupboards she didn't find a hairdryer. Well, this was a submarine full of men so it didn't surprise her. A quick swing with her hand and the water of her wet hair morphed into the air and drained away in the sink. A glance into the mirror and a nod of approval. After she pulled the big hoodie over herself (which was obviously too big for her), smiling at the mirror, she leaves and walks into the gathering area close by. The room also seemed to have the purpose of a living room and library, all in one. There were sofas and bookshelves, coffee tables and blankets. A cozy room to spend the day in. She has found a new favourite spot. All the members of the Heart Pirates are assembled. She saw men she hadn't seen before although she was surprised to see a familiar face.

"Jean Bart?" the large man turned to the voice. "Is that you?"

"Lady Sally, its good to see you again." he smiles which freaks the rest of the crew out.

"Same here." she smiles back at him.

"Wait, you two know each other?" Shachi points at them.

"Lady Sally has saved my crew and me from a marine ship."

"And they gave me food."

"What kind of payback is that?!" the heart pirate screams.

"I'm glad that you are okay. When I heard that you had been captured it broke my heart. You were so close with your crew members, too. But then I saw that newspaper article a month ago. I'm glad you got away. I never thought that you had joined the heart pirates, though." she gives Law a sceptical look.

"He saved me. I own Trafalgar Law my life. That's why I will follow him." Jean Bart closes his eyes at the memories.

"You should be thankful to the Strawhat, not me. He was the main factor in your escape. I only took your neck chain off." was all Law said.

"Strawhat?" her eyes flashed.

"Monkey D. Ruffy. You must have heard of him. He was the big talk for the last few weeks. Him being the son of the most wanted man in the world really stirred things up." Penguin explaines.

"Yeah, yeah. I know who he is." sadness seems to creep over her face.

Penguin looks at Sally standing in front of them. She seemed to be in deep thought.

"Anyway, who are you exactly?" simple question.

They all look at her. She looks around and points at herself.

"Me? You want me to introduce myself?"

"Since you're gonna be here for awhile why not? It's better for us if we know who we are dealing with."

A Pause.

"Fine." she sighs.

Sally sits down next to Law, the only available seat on the sofa. They all look at her and she takes a deep breath.

"My name is Sally, I'm from the East Blue. I'm a member of the school of secret arts and therefore a martial arts master."

She looks at Bepo and grins. The bear blinks and then seems to blush.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Shachi whispers.

"Sorry." Bepo presses his furry fingers together in embarrassment.

"Although in my current state I obviously can't do much." she continues.

She rubs her bump. A smile. And another question.

"And what's your full name?"

"My full name? Why do you want to know?"

"Because it matters a lot what someone's full name is. I mean, the Strawhat is the son of Dragon. Nobody ever thought of that until their full names were revealed." the other pirates nod.

"You think she is related to this?" Shachi gives Sally a sceptical glance.

"No, but but it doesn't hurt to ask."

Sally laughs.

"I usually don't reveal my full name to strangers." silence and then a smile. "But you guys saved me so I can't hide it."

They all look at her with tension. She made it really unbearable and it made her smile. Telling them her full name would probably spark a lot of problems but then again, she felt as if she could trust them. Somehow anyway. And then it came.

"My name is Monkey D. Sally."

Silence.

"Monkey?" Shachi tilts his head to the right.

"D?" Penguin tilts his head to the left.

"WHAT?!" from everyone.

"Does that mean you ARE related to the Strawhat?!" they all look at her again.

"Are you his cousin?" asks Bepo.

"His aunt?" asks Shachi.

"His sister?" asks Penguin.

With every question the three budge closer to her, faces pressed together. Sally smiles.

"Actually, I'm his older twin."

Everyone is frozen in shock. Another unbelievable relation. So the Revolutionary Dragon had two children? And furthermore, the crazy Strawhat had a twin sister who was,... cute? Well, the only thing the twins seemed to share were the height and face, hair and skin colour. Only she is obviously more feminine. But did she also have the Strawhats monstrous strength? Penguin looks at the Wanted Poster again. That high bounty may not be just for show. Sally grins in shame.

"Is that why your bounty is so high?"

"No, I just destroy every marine ship that crosses my path. The marines don't know who I really am. Except grandad of course, but he is keeping quiet about it."

"But that can't be the only reason!"

"I sank a ship with a Celestial Dragon on it."

Everyone is stunned and then, in the silence, Law bursts out laughing. They all look at him both confused and shocked. That also surprised Sally. Did the crew ever see their Captain laugh? Apparently not.

"You really are Strawhats twin." Law laughs.

"Yeah." she smiles.

Law still giggles to himself and Sally's expression becomes sad. Law becomes quiet when he sees it. Did she know about her brothers current whereabouts? No, of course not. She hasn't seen her brother ever since they both left the village. He went his way and she went hers. She read the newspaper every now and then to see what he was doing. His fights against the World Government often seemed exaggerated. But since the war...she hasn't heard anything. It made her worry.

"I haven't seen him in a year. I wonder how he is. I wish I could have helped him. Has he even survived the war?"

Silence.

"Don't worry about Strawhat." Bepo grins. "We got him out of Marineford a few weeks ago."

"What?" her eyes light up.

"If he rested enough he should be alright. But today's newspaper will tell you more." Law hands her the newspaper.

She looks at the picture on the front page. Luffy, bowing his head, holding his Strawhat against his chest, covered in bandages. Her brother is alive. Her idiot brother is alive. Tears roll down her face.

"You guys, you saved my brother?" she looks over to Law.

Law nods and the rest of the crew smile at her with pride. Sally sinks deep into the sofa and holds her hands in front of her mouth.

"Thank you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart." she sobs.

Sally smiles as she cries. The crew look and feel proud. The cries turn into sobs and soon she was drying her tears.

"So where is he right now?"

"He's on Amazon Lily."

"Amazon Lily? The island where men are not allowed? How?"

"The empress has somehow fallen in love with your brother. I don't understand what she sees in him. He's not even a man he's still a kid." Penguin yawns.

"So I'm a girl in your eyes?" she raises an eyebrow.

"What? No."

"I'm the same age as Luffy. Calling him a kid is like calling me a girl."

"I guess he is a man then." he sighs.

Sally giggles.

"But I still can't believe that Hancock is in love with Luffy? Well, I can think of how it COULD have come to that. What's he doing there?"

"He wanted to train with Silver Rayleigh." Law answers.

Sallys pulls a face.

"Oh. With the old geezer? Well, at least he is save."

"You really know a lot of people." Law points out.

"I get around a lot." she grins.

A weird tingling feeling made Law look away.

"Now that that is settled I want to know something else." Penguin claps his hands together.

"Huh?"

"You're a devil fruit user right? How on earth did you get the marine fleet off our backs?"

"I've eaten the Water Fruit. I can control water." she grins.

"Even sea water?"

"Yes but it takes a lot of energy since seawater weakens devil fruit users. But I've learned how to cope with it and I can even somewhat swim but only when I coat myself with normal water and even then, not for long. Otherwise I sink like a stone."

Now even Law is stunned. A devil fruit user that can 'somewhat' swim? That was unheard of. Why was this never in the newspaper? Or did the marines not know her ability? It all didn't make sense. Unless that Marine hero was serious about keeping her a big secret.

"But that means you're unbeatable."

"Not entirely. Nobody is unbeatable. Right now I'm an easy target."

"Oh yeah, sorry." he drops his head.

"Stop apologising!" Penguin smacks the back of his head.

She gently touches her belly and smiles. She feels vulnerable, too. It was a scary feeling. But with these men, she feels save. Strangly. Suddenly she gets poked in the cheek.

"What are you doing?" a little glare.

Law presses his finger against her cheek.

"You're a Logia type, right? I just wanted to see it in action." he smirks.

Law pulls his finger back and goes to poke her again. This time his finger disappears in water. The heart pirates freak out.

"Happy now?"

Law looks at his finger and starts to push his hand into her face. But he didn't stop there. He puts his whole arm through her head, his hand coming out the other side of her head. The pirates budge together, scared and freaked out. It made a strange squishy sound, too.

"That's really weird." Penguin observes the spectacle.

"That's annoying. Stop it." she sounds annoyed as well.

Law pulls his hand back out. The water texture disappears and her face turns back to normal.

"Logia types really are interesting."

Sally pushes her lips into a pout. Law smiles. It somehow looks...cute? No, no way. Law looks away quickly. He couldn't allow himself to have these feelings. After all, this was the twin sister of the Strawhat. Who knows what she is REALLY like.

"Is there anything I can do for you guys while I'm here? I don't want to be a burden to you all." the young woman looks at the men. They think for a moment and then Penguin steps forward.

"Can you sow?" Penguin asks.

"Yes?" she tilts her head a little.

"Well, that is handy. I have a T-shirt my mother made for me and I don't want to throw it away." he grins.

Law gives him an evil glare. Penguin starts to sweat as he feels the dark aura next to him. Making a patient work for him. Law didn't expect that from his crew. But that thought was quickly forgotten.

"Okay. I'll gladly do it." a big smile appears on her face.

Why would he want to be angry at his crew member if she is more than happy to do the work.

Well, well, well.

Monkey D. Sally. Some of you probably wonder what she looks like. The picture for the story shows Law and Sally after the time skip.

I hope that she is a believable character.

So a question. How would YOU prefer to call the child? Any names?

Let me know. ;)
