It had been almost a week since then, Y/n had managed to survive on her own for the most part. But anytime her abilities activated without her fully knowing, she wanted to just throw herself into the ocean. She learned very quickly the day she ate the devil fruit, that she would no longer be able to swim. If she had never ate that fruit, she would have never had to leave her island, her father. She never knew she could hate something so much. "Stupid devil fruits..." She muttered as she brought her legs close to her chest, hiding her face into her knees. They were horrible in her eyes, not to mention wanted by a certain group of dangerous people. Pirates. Oh how she loathed pirates. Her father thought her all about them. How they would steal from, harm, and even kill innocent people, all for their own selfish greed. Her father had always feared that if pirates were to find out her daughter had devil fruit powers, they would try and take her or pillage the island looking for more. And those fears had gotten to her more.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her stomach rumbling loudly. With a sigh she stood up, and began to look for whatever food she could find. "I suppose one good thing about having this curse is, I know what berries are poisonous or not." She says aloud. While absentmindedly walking, she found herself at the shore. The same shore she was at when she found the cursed devil fruit all those years ago. The peaceful waves that gently brushed the sand put her nerves at ease, she loved it so much that she considered making a little home on the beach. She smiled at the thought, it wouldn't be the same as her old home, but it was a start. Her hope was short lived however, by a truly horrible sight...across the waves, coming closer to the island...was a pirate ship.

"Namiiii! Are we there yet?" Whined the captain to his navigator. "I told you, if you keep asking we won't get there at all!!" Yelled the orange hair woman. The captain sighed and slumped against the railing of the ship. "Hey! I see an island!" Yelled another member of the crew. The captain immediately sprung back up and moved his head left to right frantically, trying to spot the island. The navigator took another look at her map and nod in confirmation. "Yep. We're approaching an island, it isn't the one we were going for but, I suppose we do need to re-stock on food." She glared at the captain at the mentioning of the lack of food they had. The it captain was known for having a bottomless pit for a stomach, and was always looking for a good meal, or just a juicy piece of meat. "Let's go there!!" The captain demanded. The crew all obeyed his orders and steered towards the island.

Soon enough the crew landed on the island. "It doesn't look like there's a town here." Said the crew's sniper. "Eh, I can still make a meal out of whatever this island has to offer." Said the blonde cook. "I wanna explore!" The cheerful captain looks around. "I'll go too." The swordsman yawned. "Just for us to go looking for you when you get lost? Yeah right." The navigator scowls. "What did you say woman?" The swordsman growls at her. "Don't talk to Nami-Swan like that, Moss Head!" The cook tried kicking the green hair man, but he dodged it. "Oh shut it perverted cook!" The swordsman unsheathes his sword, ready to strike. But the navigator intervened before they could start fighting, with a harsh punch in the head for both of them, effectively knocking the two down. "Those idiots, hey Luffy, what should we-and he's gone..." The sniper sulks. "What!?" Their navigator shouts.

"He better not get hurt while he's out there." Sighed a little reindeer.

Y/n hid herself within the trees, as the pirate made his way through the forest. What did he want? To harm the village? To rob the island of its natural resources? Maybe to search for more of those devil fruits? "Well he won't find them here..." She thought. Once she ate the devil fruit that washed up on shore, the villagers searched the island from top to bottom, if any were found, they were to be destroyed immediately. However, none else were found. She turned her attention back to the pirate, where was his crew? She decided to follow after him, if he tried anything funny well...she wouldn't be so against using her cursed powers...

She followed after him for a bit longer, tracking his every move. She readied herself to strike, she figured it would be better to get rid of him now, than never. Just as she went to attack, the pirate's arm stretched to an inhumanly length. "What!?" Y/n gasps, she couldn't get away in time before he grabbed her by her dress collar and dragged her to him. "Ahhhhh!!!" She screamed the entire way. The pirate held her only a few inches away from his face. "You know..." He started, his voice slow as threatening. "You really suck at sneaking up on people!" His voice changed to a more light tone. "H-huh?" She whimpered. Just who the hell was this guy...
