"YOU BASTARD" White Beard yells, as a beam of light passes through the heart of Marco the Phoenix. I could hear the rage... The sadness in Whitebeard's voice as he watched his precious son take his last breath. Blinded by his rage he starts running into the battlefield slaughtering the Marines. at an attempt to get to the Admiral that had killed his son in cold blood. He has the feeling of a parent watching his children die in front of him. Wait there are tears running down his face. Almost as if he actually does see them as family. I was always told Pirates care about no one. Could it be that Pirate crews are like a family.
I've never really had a family. The Marines were always there, they are all I ever had. When I was young my parents died and I left on the streets. Then he found me and he took me in and raised me. He always felt cold but he had a warm heart. When I turned 18 he said that I should join the marines. So I did. But this... This is inhumane pointless slaughtering. This is not what I signed up for. And all this over one Pirate. How far will the World government take this. I am too weak for this battle. I begin to run... I make it to the kitchen where there is a barrel... that's shaking wait is someone hiding in it.
"Um, excuse me is everything ok" I say to the shaking Barrel.
A stocky green haired man climbs out he is wearing a marines outfit.
"I am HHHH-hinding because this battle scares me. They say it will determine the fate of the world as we know it" says The Marine.
"Well they already slaughtered more than half the Whitebeard Pirates. Including Marco The Phoenix,'' I say.
"I hear there is a Pirate fighting down there. They call him Straw Hat Luffy. Some people believe he is Roger's reincarnation. That has to be true. Because he is fighting so hard and so Awesome like. I want to be just like him. Fuck the Marines I am becoming a pirate" says The Marine.
I am hungry... What is that strange Blue fruit could it be a devil fruit. No it Can't be there is this... Only one way to find out. I take a bite. What the fuck his fruit tastes like shit. I lost my appetite just now. Ah I wonder what power I got. Well it sounds like the fighting has stopped.
"Asahina there you are, how could you think of food at a time like this. Well the battle is finally over. There were heavy casualties on both sides, so I really wouldn't say either side won. If it weren't for that young Colby lad this could very well have been the end of the Marines, possibly the end of the pirate as well" says a familiar voice. I turn to see Kuzan.
"Uncle Kuzan I am so glad you're ok. I am sorry I ran this war seemed pointless and... I wanted no part in it. And lately I've been realizing that the Marines seem corrupt. I don't know what to do. I want leave and never look back" I say
"Asahina you have been like a daughter to me. So I will always give you the best advice. However you only think I can tell you now is listen to your heart" Says Kuzan.
Listen to my Heart" I say.
"Yes! However The consequences for deserting the Marines Are punishable by death. Your best bet is to break into Impel Down. Don't worry the secretary there is still reconvening so it should be an easy task" says Kuzan. Then I grab my transponder snail and call my Lieutenant. " Ellie Report the the ship Immediately I have some things I need to discuss with you" I say
"Yes right away captain. should I gather the crew. Or are we staying land locked for a bit" says Ellie.
"No we can't trust anyone just you and only you" I say.

"Ok! Captain we can't sail a ship without a crew" says Ellie.
"Ok so you don't have to come with me if you don't want to. I AM LEAVING THE MARINES. I am becoming a Pirate" I say
"Captain I would follow you to the end of the world and back, regardless of if we are marines or pirates. You're my only family. I have nowhere else I rather be than by your side" says Ellie.
"Good we don't have much time here is the plan. We are breaking into Impel Down. We are going to get crewmates. Just enough to pilot a ship for now. So that me you and at least 4 more" I say.
Ok so let's do this thing" says Ellie.
We walk in to impel down and the prison riots are still going on. The Warden is nowhere to be found. There's a giant hole in the floor. I say we jump directly down to it and make our way to level5. I walk up a Cell there is a man Standing around a bunch of frozen corpses.
" What are 2 beautiful ladies like you doing in a freezing place like this. The name's Senji. Let me guess you are deserting the Marines. Trying to recruit us prisoners as crewmates. Well the pick of the crop is already been taken By Blackbeard. However I been here long enough and should be a tell you who's good well that's left that is. If you let me out and let me join your crew all show a whose worth recruiting down here" says Senji.
Unintentionally when trying to fiddle with the lock I activate my new devil fruit. A blue flame melts the lock and at that point I realized the fruit I had eaten was the Tori Tori No Mi Phoenix Model.
" Oh I must have been here a long time if that fruit has been chosen as its next Host. Last I remember, that fruit belonged to Marco the Phoenix. Well I guess it's yours now. I to Possess a devil fruit in the Tori Tori no mi category however mine Is Raven model. The guards will be here a moment. I know a place where we can talk and follow me. I am taking you to level 5.5 The only safe haven in this hell hole. Of course I hear emporio Ivankov left with Strawhat. Let me see your several secret entrances. Now I wonder which entrance is closest?" says Senji.
"Hello Crow Boy I see you got yourself 2 pretty little ladies do ya,"says a voice.
When we turn to look behind us there is a man covered in bandages with torn clothes. He has a certain presence about him Kind of like an Okama feel. Senji seems mad all of the sudden.
"Bon you Crossdressing Bastard I told you not to call me that" says Senji.
"Oh Crow Boy You don't know how happy I am to see you. Come with me to The New Okama kingdom" says Mr. 2
"Asahina is it just me or are you totally confused right now?" says Ellie.
Before I could answer, Senji says "New Okama Kingdom and or level 5.5. Ok Bon take us there. I swear if you try anything funny I'll kill you" says Senji.
We walk over a giant air vent Mr2 knocks and a voice says," Password."
"New Okama Kingdom for life" says Mr. 2.
The door then opens and to a small room with a spiral Staircase. " Down we go to the New Okama Kingdom," says Mr. 2.
At the bottom of the staircase there is another door. A very hairy man wearing a dress opens it.
"Now there is one person I can think of that will be a great addition to our crew.
She can turn into a cottonmouth snake. How many people were you thinking need 5 to pilot a marine ship? Do Asahina think that sounds good" says senji.
"Yes that sounds perfect. Who is this Snake girl you were talking about" I say
"Ah yes her name is Viper. She right over there"says Senji
"Senji, are you bragging again? Did he forget to mention that I kicked his ass multiple times. No he probably didn't. Hello there beautiful I am Viper this is my big brother Kanda. What is a beautiful woman like yourself doing here in Hell'' says Viper.
"I am recruiting members for my crew. And Senji suggested you. Are you up for joining me" I say.
"Yes but my brother comes too. He may not have eaten a Devil Fruit but he is with a crossbow. He can hit a fly on the wall from 100 feet away" says Viper.
"Oh sis you flatter me. She is always exaggerating my skill" says Kanda.
"Pururururu"
"Asahina I have a way to get you out. There is a ship that will take you to the South Blue. There you should be able to reinvent yourself. Also get a ship. Please meet me outside in 1 hour. I have something for you."

[Outside Impel Down]
"Uncle Kuzan, why are you helping me? You could get in trouble" I say
"Asahina you have been like a daughter. The only family I have and I will protect you no matter what.Take this and go before they catch you " says Kuzan as he throws me on a ship. All my new crewmates quickly jump on and we begin our new Journey.
