Half an hour had past, and despite her effort, the cage bars didn't budge. 'The hell kinda rock is this!? I can break rocks no problem! I can't even chip this one!' She tried one more strike before finally just falling to the floor. Her hands were red. She sighed in defeat. "God I'm hungry..." she said out loud. Nearby, someone who heard this approached the door. She looked over, seeing the mink from earlier. "Hmph... here to gloat?" He pulled out some exotic fruit from his bag. "Well... I got this thing?" She stared at him in confusion. "Wait... aren't you pirates supposed to be evil? All princess kidnappy?"
"My name is Minx. I'm not here of my own free will... cuz that Blackmail... he has..." He stopped, clutching his fist, before a gentle look returns to his face as he tries handing her the fruit again. "Please though, have this. I've been procrastinating eating it since I found it." She smiled and grabbed it by the stem, pulling it through the bars. It just barely fit. "What is it?" she asked as she inspected it. The fruit had various patterned 'scales' that populated the skin. Each had a distinct color and look, like some were flat, others protruded. Minx responded to her question with a shrug. "Some island just had that thing on a tree. I've been scared cuz like... what if it's gross?" She glared at him. "So you're just using the prisoner as a test for your lil' fruit thing?" He stuttered, "W-wait no! I can try it first!" She chomped into it, jokingly saying "choo laeh- (too late)" but almost choked. She forced the bite down. "Ohh... yea it nasty... when did you find that?" Minx rubbed his black messy hair, and shyly responded, "Like 3 months ago..." Harmony face palmed. "It's definitely expired... ew... Thanks though."
"So... what happened to you?" Harmony asked after throwing the fruit into the bucket that's included in the cell. Minx pulled up a nearby crate, and hopped up onto it. "Me and my sister Lucky, we were just playing in the forest when... the Blackmail pirates came and took her. They heard about me... and my skills..." Harmony nodded. "It was cool how you cut that sword with daggers." He blushed, rubbing his head. "Hehe yea~ It was kinda cool~" He continued, "They said if I didn't join the crew, he'd hurt her..." He clutched the poofy fabric of his overalls. "I haven't seen my sister in three years..." Harmony's face turned to a rather determined look. She got up, and clutched her fist. 'I got this... He would've...' She started striking the stone, now with determination to escape, and save this mink's sister! She made contact and-
For some reason, now the stone sapped her strength. She fell back to the floor after just one attack. Minx tilted his head. "That's weird. Only reason that would happen is if you somehow ate a Devil Fruit while we... were..." Minx turned to the bucket, and Harmony, still unaware of the stones purpose, just looked confused. "Wait Devil Fruit?" Her eyes lit up, and a big smile appeared on her face. "Wait but the only thing I ate was..."
Minx put his head in his hands. "I coulda ate that and defeated Blackmail myself..." Harmony was trying to do whatever she just got. "Ok... Devil Fruits give various powers, and they always say the name in your head when you eat them- I heard omni..." Minx scratched his chin, trying to think. "Omni... like all? All what?" Harmony did a palm strike in the air. Nothing happened. "Well I don't know anything so it's not all knowing." Suddenly Minx had a lil' relevation. "Wait, how do you know so much about them but didn't recognize one?" She chuckled. "Well uh... I've never actually seen one, I heard about them from the best pirate." She almost looked sad. "Too bad his visit... came with complications..."
13 years ago, a young Harmony and her mother were playing in the grass, laughing joyously as her father watched from a distance, smiling at his joy. Both of her parents were crimson red haired, "Mommy?" Harmony rolled over to look at her. "Why can't me an daddy go with you..?" The queen stood, and picked her up, booping her nose causing the princess to giggle. "Who's gonna watch the kingdom? Heh, relax my melody, it's a diplomatic summon-" she leaned close to her ear. "it's a girls night~" They both giggled. The king came down, still beaming with just how happy he was. "Marie~" The queen turned to the king, and they kissed, causing Harmony to go "Ew-" and try to squirm out of her arms. They both laughed and Marie put her down. "I'll be back in a week. Be nice to her Gio~" He coughs, "Huh me? I'm always a good father." Harmony stuck her tongue out with a bored face. Marie smiles, waved, and headed to the dock.
