The Straw Hats were resting on Sabody relaxing and chatting with the new friends they'd made.
They were at the bar Hachi had taken them too.
The door pushed open and the Straw Hats looked over at the new visitor.
It was a woman with long pale green hair and sharp golden eyes. The bottom half of her face was covered by a mask. She wore a white half shirt with long flowing sleeves, a lace collar and a deep cut showing off cleavage, and a pair of black shorts with six golden buttons.
She walked in slowly, focused on her target. The bar had gone quiet with her entrance and all were watching her curiously and cautiously, or in Sanji's case enthralled and dreamily.
Her steps echoed in the now silent bar.
She walked up to their captain fearlessly.
Luffy watched her curiously. He'd been drinking and dancing with Usopp.
She stood in front of Luffy dangerously close. Her face was inches from his. He stared into her eyes wondering what she wanted with him.
"Monkey D. Luffy?" she asked lowly and sweetly.
"That's me" he said almost unfazed by her.
"It has been a very long time Luffy" she mused.
He tilt his head to the side. "Do I know you?"
She chuckled. "No I supposed you wouldn't remember me. I was hoping you would though."
"Who are you?"
She took a step back. "Sorry, Luffy. You've got to figure that out on your own."
She began her way out, leaving just as soon as she'd entered.
"Wait-" Luffy called.
She looked back over her shoulder and gave him a closed eyed smile. "If you remember Lulu just call my name. I'll be there."
The old nickname struck him and it felt nostalgic and familiar.
The door slowly closed behind her.
"Did you know her Luffy?" Usopp asked.
Luffy nodded. "But I can remember. I know I know her.... but I can't...."Days later at the auction Luffy was fighting along side two other captains and it was weird.
Kid smashed his giant metal Han down and marines went flying. One went in a tree and screamed out for help.
Then he remembered something.Flashback~~
Back when he was a child under Dadan's care he was playing in the woods when a wolf chased him up into a tree. Luffy cried and called for help. "HELP ME!! SOMEONE PLEASE! DADAN!! ACE!! MANZA!!"
"Luffy!!" came the distant answer to his calls.
"MANZA!" he shouted. Tears poured from his eyes as he was terrified by the wolf below him circling his tree and scratching at the bark.Minutes later the wolf whimpered and ran away.
"Lulu?" called her sweet voice.
He opened his eyes, with tears still pouring out, and blurrily saw Manza standing at the ground staring up looking worried and with her arms outstretched. "Manza" he wailed as he dropped from the tree.
She caught the younger boy with ease, hugging him close, one hand on top of his head trying to soothe the crying boy.
"Lulu, are you alright?" she asked with her gentle voice.
He peeked up at her sweet golden eyes and cried. He was terrified of the wolf catching him and gobbling him up.
"That wolf tried to eat me" Luffy sobbed.
Manza chuckled lightly. "You must have been so scared. But no wolf is ever gonna eat you. Do you know why?"
"Why?" he asked calming down from his awful crying.
"Because I'll always be there to protect you."
"You promise?" he asked.
"I promise." She held out her pinky and lift was quick to link his with hers. "You just have to call my name and I'll be there to protect you." She leaned forward and connected her forehead to his. She rubbed and giggled as the young boy did.
"If you're going to get into so much trouble I better start teaching you how to fight."
She began making her way towards Dadan's hut.
"You're not that much stronger than me Manza-chan" Luffy protested. "You're only two years older than me."
She chuckled and wiped a stray tear from his cheek. "Yeah but I'm still stronger than you squirt. I'll always be stronger. No matter how big and tough you get I'll always be able to beat your butt."
~~~end flashbackLuffy gasped from the memory. He stood in the middle of a fight gasping.
"Mugiwara?!" Law called to him.
Luffy snapped from his trance. "Manza!" he yelled.
The girl jumped down from the top of the auction houses. She landed gracefully on her feet and smirked.
"Manza! Ma-"
"I'm here Lulu" she cooed.
Luffy spun around and saw her standing there.
Remembering now he wondered how he hadn't realize it was her. Back then, when they were kids, her green hair was much shorter, it now down to her butt. Her figure had shaped from its once flat shape. She also filled out in places she never had last time he saw her.
She pulled down her mask and slowly walked over to him. She smiled happily that he remembered her.
He ran to her and hugged her tightly, burying his face in her neck.
"Manza?" he questioned like he couldn't believe she was really there.
"I told you Luffy. You just had to call my name and I would come to protect you."
