Fate Whispered to the warrior 'You cannot withstand the storm' and the warrior whispers back 'I am the storm'

She watched the strange male with narrow eyes. It was suspicious very particular sight to see for many reasons. It had started like any 'normal' day on the strange crew but then it all changed when the ship travelled though sea steam from underwater volcanoes.

Luffy and usopp had been fishing; using the large duck as bait due to luffy eating most of the actual bait.

The ship on the most part had made its way through the smoke/steam/fog unharmed but had somehow gained an extra person.

Dawnya watched with suspicion at the strangely dressed man clinging for dear life to the duck. Luffy and usopp yelled, earning the rest of the crew's attention. "we caught an Okama!"

She furrowed her brows in though, she didn't know what an okama was but it must explain how the man was dressed, with ballet swan like shoes pink cloak with more swans and badly painted makeup. It was a strange combination. Indeed.

The man also couldn't swim so as he let go of the duck and fell in the swelling sea below in panic usopp had to jump in and save the 'okama'.

"To be rescued by pirates I've never met nor heard of... I shall never forget the debt I own to you! Now then, I am a little peckish and a hot bowl of soup right about now would be smashing if you please!" the flamboyant man spoke after safely being hold back onto the ship.

"OH HELL NO!" the gathering crew yelled. Sanji was hidden in the kitchen cooking while vivi stood on the second level watching the scene form above.

"oh my!" the ladyboy smirked, spotting the princess. "such a cute little thing you are, and just my type too! I could just eat you up!" A shiver ran down her spine at the comment. What a gross thing to say... he was one of those people then...

"So, you can't swim huh?" luffy asked innocently.

"Yes, for you see. I've eaten a devil fruit" the statement itself made her tense, a hand drifting towards her sword handle.

"Really which one?" usopp asked curiously.

"Hm? Well, since I do have some time to kill until my crew comes looking for me. Allow me to treat, you daisies, to a show!" the man stood up dramatically.

"Behold my ability!"

Hand crashed into the rubber man head. Slamming the young boy into the wood wall of the ship.

"Luffy!"

The grip tightened on her sword, preparing to attack if needed.

"hold your horses!" a familiar voice sounded, stopping Zoro from unleashing his blades on the stranger "didn't I say I'd treat you to a show?"

"so, stoop! Joking around!" luffy voice called. A luffy dressed in the stranger's attire. It was identical. A twin image of the captain of the ship. Her eyes harden as the situation descended on her. He touches the other crew mates faces, taking on the faces of usopp, Zoro, Chopper and Nami. Showing off his ability to perfectly transform himself into them – voices and body a replicate of the original.

Scars and tattoos included.

She didn't hesitate, bringing her sword up the blade across her chest, inches from the man's out sketched hand and neck. She narrowed her eyes dangerously – blue hues darkening, becoming dull as she stared at the pink cloaked male. The okama gulped not moving an inch as Dawnya shifted on the balls of her bare feet - jumping backwards onto the railing. It wasn't far enough though. She wanted to be higher. Higher away for the stranger that took take on her face if he wanted...

Sheathing her sword, she jumped higher then humanly possible.

Thought this wasn't a normal crew so the others thought nothing of it.

Feeling the wind beneath her as she landed above the crow's nest, balancing lightly on the flag pole as she watched the crew below her. watched as the three idiots being excited over the man ability. Do they not realise what power they have given him? The power to weld their face. To never forget a face at that and wear it whenever?! It made her skin crawl. She never wanted someone to have that power over her.

Down on the deck below zoro watched the female high in the clouds, a thoughtful look on his face while Nami huffed still annoyed at the man showing off her breast without even thinking of paying... "Abit of an overreaction don't you think?"

"Think about it for a moment" Zoro commented closing his eyes while leaning back into his sleeping position.

Nami was quite thinking about all the possibilist of the man's devil fruit. The stone of dread growing in the pit of her stomach. Let's hope he wasn't an enemy..

She glazes flickered out onto the horizon. "Hey there a ship coming this way. could that be your ship?"

Dawnya balancing on the flag pole watched the scene below as the strange man left, learning his name was Mr 2 bon clay and the usefulness of his power finally settles on their shoulders as Vivi confessed to reconsidered her father's face. Dawnya, shifted on the pole siting down on one foot, while her other leg wrapped around the base. Getting comfortable in the position as the breeze danced from her hair – down below her Zoro disused setting up a counter-measure against man's devil fruit abilities.

Time skippy

It was a day ago when the stranger – now enemy appeared on their ship and the crew plus a princess and herself was another step closer to freeing Vivi country. Dawnya was once again balancing on the flag pole – claiming it as her new place to mediation. If she wasn't on the deck or the roof she was up there. She avoided the inside of the ship like the plague.

Dawnya blue hues watched as a creature appeared from the depths of the ocean. The giant sea cat towering over her Pearch as the male crewmates yelled about using the creature for food. For the past few day's food had been becoming scarcer – not that it fully affected her though. Luffy on the other hand. The poor boy seemed to be eating all the time...

She studied the creature – in its appearance the sea cat seemed to have an earring? She cocked her head to the side – how did a sea creature get an earring? A golden hoop at that. On the deck below Vivi began to lecture the 'monster trio' usopp had called them about how sea cats where sacred creatures of Alabasta.

The wind shifted, its breeze dyeing as she glanced towards the horizon. Blue hues narrowing dangerously as she stood up. She let her body fall forwards, completely calm as she free fell to the wooden deck below. Nami spotted the falling girl first began to panic thinking the worse, "Dawnya!"

The other crew members jumped to their feet in panic. Luffy was about to stretch his arms to catch the falling girl only to pause in his movement – his graze focuses on her eyes.

They were glittering with life.

She flipped midlife, as to land bare feet first onto the wooden deck below – oblivious to the reasoning behind the panicking crew below her. Black haired floated behind her weightless as she landed lighting on her feet despite the heigh she fell from. The grin on luffy's face grew.

"you're okay!?" came the collective shout from the gathering crew members.

"why wouldn't I be?" she asked with a tilt of her head. While luffy laughed in the background. "I came to tell you that we have company"

She pointed towards the sea's horizon, as chopper rushed towards her. "Are you okay? How's your feet, legs? Why did you drop that's super dangerous! Your supposed to be resting still" the crews doctors fluttered about her form panicking taking in every inch of her to make sure that she wasn't hiding any damage from him.

"She's right" Zoro commented, "looks like that sight is proof that we have reached Alabasta"

A number of ships line the horizon all heading in the same direction their ship was currently heading in. All with the baroque works logo flying on the sail.
