Just want everyone know after chapter 20 is when the chapters get slightly longer and the pacing kicks up a bit.

Also the story progression is similar to One Piece so expect me to take my time when it comes to the juicer stuff.

Other that I hope you all enjoy!

Third Person POV

Walking on the shores of Elegia was a twelve-year-old girl.

Her name was Uta.

She did this regularly after several hours of practicing her passion for singing. She'd go for long walks on the seaside and get lost in her thoughts.

She'd think about random things like fashion, what songs to write, and how Luffy was doing, but most of the time, her mind would wander to Shanks.

It had been a year since he'd abandoned her on the island, and her blood boiled hotly thinking about him. However, her rage soon turned to sadness.

Despite leaving her behind, she still missed him dearly, as he and his crew were the only family she had.

Gordon was a kind-hearted man and cared for her deeply, but he could never compare to her previous family or fill the emptiness in her little heart.

Many negative emotions were going through the young diva, and she felt like she could explode.

However, before she could do that, she noticed something, no, someone unconscious and bloody a few meters away.

Concerned, she quickly made her way toward the body and couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

It was a handsome brown-skinned boy that looked around her age, maybe slightly older. He had spiky black hair with red highlights that went past his shoulders. He had sharp features and a lean yet muscular build. However, what stood out about him was a pair of large black wings with red-tipped at the ends.

Most of his body was covered in cuts, bruises, and puncture wounds, and his left wing was broken.

Uta was about to see if the boy was still alive but stopped as she heard him groan in pain and open his eyes, revealing his red orbs.

"F-Fuck," he hissed as he slowly sat up.

"Um, hi..." Uta wanted to ask if he was ok but quickly realized that was a stupid question. Of course, he wasn't ok!

The winged boy turned his head toward her direction, making her slightly nervous, and said. "W-Where I a-am?"

"E-Elegia."

The boy's eyes widened, and he looked away from her. "H-How t-the fuck did I end up here?" he asked himself lowly.

He couldn't remember much, but he knew he was nowhere near Paradise. He tried to recollect his memories, but everything was coming blank.

The boy couldn't remember if he had friends, family, his origins, how he got injured, and, most importantly, he couldn't remember his name.

Noticing the dread in his eyes and looking like he was about to have a panic attack, Uta placed a hand on his shoulder, and he looked up at her.

"Do you think you can stand up?"

"Y-Yeah."

"Then follow me."

(Timeskip)

Once the winged teen was patched up, he was questioned by Gordon.

"I see...this is very troubling," Gordon replied grimly after the winged boy explained his situation.

"What's going to happen with him?" Uta asked worriedly.

He thought for a moment, and an idea popped into his mind. "He'll be staying with us," he replied, making Uta's and the winged boys' eyes widen in shock.

"Really?!" Uta asked excitedly, as she didn't have anyone around her age to hang out with and was looking forward to making a new friend.

"A-Are you sure? I w-wouldn't want to be a bother," the boy said softly.

Gordon gave the boy a warm smile. "Nonsense, you wouldn't be a bother at all. However, before we can get you settled, we need to give you a temporary name. Got any ideas, Uta?"

The bi-colored-haired girl placed a hand under her chin and thought momentarily. "How about...Crow?" unoriginal, it may be, but it was the best she could come up with.

Plus, it made the most sense to call him that due to his black wings.

The boy smiled. "I like it."

"Well then, Crow, let's get you settled in."

End.
