Hana has been apart of the Straw Hat crew since Alabasta, having run into them not long into the country when she was a dancer. She was born in the New World, travelling to the Grand Line for more adventures.

She is the least known Straw Hat, with the lowest bounty for never being seen fighting. She's the official dancer, having tried to fit in. That means not using her jutsu, as she was born in another life in the Hidden Leaf Village.

And then Sabaoby happened.

Hana watched horrified from up in the trees as her friends all disappeared one by one until only Luffy remained. Seeing them all lose against the Warlord was the sole reason she stayed hidden.

But seeing Luffy break down almost made her try to save him, until their gazes locked. Tears streamed down his face, but for a moment he froze. Hana was still there, she would find them all and bring them home.

Until it was just her left hiding from the Marines. Silently, she made her way back to the shack with a new resolve. Find her friends.

With no one to travel with, Hana was stuck. Shakky and Rayleigh offered her a place to stay but ultimately she decided to head out to look for them. Something told her to wait for them, to find a nearby island and wait.

So wait she did, at the closest island she could get too. It wasn't much but she managed to get a job at a local bar, it tipped really well when she danced a bit.

New spread of the imprisonment of Portgas D. Ace, second division commander for the Whitebeard Pirates. Knowing her Captain, Hana was certain he's doing something reckless to save his family. She's done something similar, although it ended in her death.

Hana was stuck again, feeling that dreadful hopelessness set in. She still had no idea where her friends were, or if anyone was still alive. Maybe someone got hurt? Or died?

And then the news of the public execution of Portgas D. Ace came. It sickened Hana how many people were happy, they even had it live on the dundunmushi for the patrons to watch.

Hana was working so she couldn't just ignore it, the entire thing she watched with bated breath. Almost falling over when Luffy appeared. What a reckless thing to do! It almost made her smile, until she realized his predicament.

He was in serious danger. All by himself going up against the strongest in the marines plus the warlords!

A glass shattered under Hana's grip when she watched Luffy fall. Her mark! Scolding herself for forgetting, Hana wasted no time in jumping to his mark she placed on his back a long time ago just in case.

Appearing behind him, she spun and swung her leg under Ace's. He fell and the fist of magma went through the right side of his neck instead of his back. Still seriously wounded though.

As he fell onto Luffy, Hana didn't hesitate to jump in front of the Admiral with a Haki coated fist. Channeling her chakra into that fist, she slammed it into his face.

"CHA!"

With a loud burst, the Admiral went flying backwards and slammed into the wall. Around his body was a giant crater, he won't be moving anytime soon.

Thank you Sakura for teaching her that, Hana sent a brief thanks to her friend.

Turning back to Luffy, blue eyes watched him scream in agony. He's dead? No way. Before she could ask him, he was scooped up by someone and they rushed away.

Hana fell to her knees next to the dark haired brother. He's not dead completely, and like hell she'd let him die. Channeling her chakra she started to stabilize him. Until she can move him, they're stuck here.

She needs to get to a ship and fast. But she didn't have any teleportation kunai on her. Crap she did not think this through.

Spotting a crewmate, she rushed to him and slapped a mark on his back before going back to Ace. Too many eyes on her now, she needs to move him before they find out what she's doing. To everyone he's dead.

In the commotion, Hana was running away with deadweight on her back. Not fun, at all. Someone spotted her running with Ace and came over.

"Get his body to the ship now!" Her tone left little to argue as he nodded grimly. Shouldering the deadman, Hana cringed at how that position was not helping her situation.

Following him she went to the ship with him. No one cared much now that they had Ace, he was technically dead.

Hana instructed the man on where to place Ace as she got to work writing a healing circle on the deck. Something was telling her to make it large, so large she did.

She got a lot of confused looks but most ignored as they attempted not to die. With Ace settled, she worked on stabilizing his wound again. At least it was the neck and upper shoulder and not the heart. Still a pain to heal.

A lot of shouting caught her attention, someone else was wounded. Crap. With Ace stabilized, she placed a mark on him before rushing off to the rail.

Squeezing between someone and grabbing a dagger off another, she stood at the rail among the sobbing Whitebeard Pirates.

With her dagger newly marked, she didn't hesitate to jump off the rail. With a spin, she flung the dagger towards the back of Whitebeard.

Hands tried to grab her, but she disappeared. Latching herself to Whitebeard back using chakra, she stuffed the dagger into her boot.

No one had noticed her besides the Pirates, who all looked confused at what she was doing. Hana leaned down, trying to off balance the giant.

He was dying quickly. Hana didn't have much time. He was resisting any attempt to tip him, stubborn fool. Hands gripped his jacket tightly before the both disappeared.

Gasps rang through the island as they watched him reappear on his ship. "Fall you old man." Hana hissed as she kicked the back on his knees and made him lay down.

"No one in my circle. All of you get out and get us out of here. As far as the marines are concerned they both are dead and we stole their bodies. Now don't bother me."

Sitting down and making a hand sign, Hana got to work. A one man healing circle is going to be rough work but it'll be worth it. She had two lives to save.

And like hell as a medical ninja she'd let them die on her watch.
