The morning sun shines off the vase blue sea, the smell of the sea hung heavy in the air.

The usually loud crew was dead silent as they mourned the death of there fallen brothers, especially the death of their captain and second division Commander.

Silent tears fell down some of the men's faces as they sat there looking at the deck of the ship. It had been four weeks since the paramount war.
The weeks had been nothing but running from the marines.

"Guys you need to stop moping around, do you think Pops would have wanted us to act like this?" The voice of the former first division Commander sounded out through the deck of the ship.

" But marco-"

" No buts we need to get ourselves together, we all need to move on moping won't bring them back" macro said in a strong voice.

" Where's Rin? Has anyone seen her?" Marco question the Crew.

" She still in her room, she hasn't come out for afew days" one of the men responded.

Marco sighed he stood up and made his way to the girl's bedroom. Once he got there he knocked twice but there was no reply.

" Rin it's Marco I'm coming in" Marco opened the door of the bedroom and made his way in. He sat on the edge of the bed where there was a lump of blankets.

" Sis I know it's hard but you have to be strong they wouldn't want to see you like this" Marco said as he rubbed the girls back that was covered in blankets.

There was no response, Marco let out another sigh before saying " at least come out and eat with us sis we all miss you" again no response.

Marco got up and left the bedroom were the girl laid, but not before looking back one more time before shutting the door.

{Rin POV}

I laid there as I listened to big brother Marco try and talk to me. But in all honesty it didn't help me, I just keep replaying their deaths in my head.

The voice in the back of my head kept telling me how I couldn't protect them , how I should of listen to dad and made Ace stop looking for Black Beard.

How selfish I was for acting like this and making my brother's worry about me. But I couldn't help it my brain didn't want to get up it just want to stay in bed all day.

But my body says different as my stomach growls again like it has for the past few days. I decided to get up and eat something even though it took me awhile to gather the will power to do so.

The only time I've been out of bed was to use the bathroom, so I go and take a long shower.

As I just stand under the shower head my thoughts drifted to the day I meet my father for the first time.

(Flashback)

I was four and I had been living as a slave to one of the world nobles, they liked me because of my horns that I got from my mom.

I was taken from my mom at a early age when a world noble came to our island in the east blue. My mom tried to protect me from them but they killed her and kidnapped me.

I still remember the feeling of the hot branding iron press against my back. And the screams of the other new slaves who were also getting branded.

The day I meet my biological father for the first time was the most happiest day of my life, I remember being in sabaody grove 27 that's were I first made eye contact with my Father.

The moment our eyes connected I could see the emotions that were behind them. I thought he was just another hallucination of the man in the photo that mom said was my father.

So I just looked back down and kept following the man who was going to auction me off to a new owner. But something in the back of my mind kept hoping that the man was not just another one of my hallucinations.

As the auction moved forward and it was finally my turn to be auctioned off I see in the back of the stadium was the man who was supposedly my father standing there next to him were a young man who looked to have a pineapple like hair on his head.

But I once again convinced myself it was just my mind playing tricks on me, as the auctioneer started the bidding the stadium became a loud mess off people shouting numbers.

As the auctioneer was about to sell me to some noble the supposed hallucination shouted out the biggest number that was 10x  more then the original guy had.

Everything was dead silent before people started freaking out about the man and how he was one of the four yanko of the sea. People started to run out the doors even the auctioneer had fled so that had left me tied to the ground with two men that started to make their way towards me.

As the got to a arms lengths away they stopped, the tall man bended down to my head level and reached out his hand.

I first flinched away from his hand but as it set down on my tiny head I realized he wasn't going to hurt me. This was the first time I had received a affectionate touch by anyone but my mom.

I didn't realize the tears pouring down my face as he lightly brushed them away with his finger that was bigger than my head.

"Shush little one I'm not going to hurt you, I'm sorry I was so late on finding you" the tall man's voice sounded out of the stadium in a whisper.

The other man who was with him had came behind me and kneeled down to were the chains were.

"Pops the chains are made out of sea prison stone, I can't break them" the man said.

" I'll do it" said a unfamiliar voice.

" Rayleigh what are you doing here?" Questioned the tall blonde man.

" Just trying to lay low, I find I kinda of strange that you would cause a commotion for a single child, but she does look like Yuki" the man named Rayleigh said.

" I'm guessing she's your's and yuki's huh?"

" Yes your correct"

" I never picture you having your own kid white Beard"

"......."

" Well I'll get these off of her and head out before the navy shows up" Rayleigh came behind me and kneeled down.

All of a sudden I feel this huge pressure from behind hind me, the weight of my cuffs and collar are lifted off of me before I had lost consciousness.

(Present)

I finished my shower before getting dressed and heading out, on deck my brothers were waiting for me around plates of food.

"Hey guys" I said I a sleepy voice, their eyes raised off of the deck and onto me.

They all started to cheer up and started eating, we talked about random things. And tried to keep each other cheerful and not think of the events that happened last week.
