Life in the Wano Kingdom was great. I loved it there. I spend my days in the dojo honing my samurai skills. Yes that's right, a female samurai. I am top of my class. All the men here envy me. Although, there are few people who can actually beat me.

I walk into the dojo for morning training and mannerism. We start off sparring after learning the tea ritual. I spar with one of my mates, Teja.

"Don't hold back on me just because i'm a woman, Teja" I tease.

"I would never stand a chance if I held back" He replies.

We start in the starting stance then draw our swords up. It goes back and forth for what seems forever at almost mock speed. Teja was one of the few in this dojo that actually made me try. The fight continues and my hands start to sweat. The damn practice katanas have no grip tape so it's awful when your hands get sweaty. I realize i'm almost out of time. In one swift and serious movement i disarm him. He falls back onto the floor and i point the end of my katana at him.

"I win. That makes 85-64 me" I smile.

"Whatever" Teja scoffs.

I help him up and pay my respects to him. I step outside for some air. I love to watch the ocean. I hurry down to the beach so i'm not gone for too long. I take off my shoes and feel the wind flow through my kimono. I take a deep breath in and close my eyes. I feel a disturbance and quickly open my eyes and take up a fighting stance. I close my eyes and use my Haki to try and find the enemy.

I can sense them, just where are they?!

I finally find them and I sense them charging right at me. I dodge and jump back. I draw my blade and take up a fighting stance again. I look around and there's nobody. I let my guard down for a split moment and that's when everything goes black. The last thing I felt was a strong jab in the back of my neck.

Everything is so foggy when i regain consciousness. I slowly open my eyes and hear the delicate ocean waves. I see the night sky above me. I get my barrings and realize i'm on a raft. I slowly sit up and look around.

"WHAT?!" I scream.

Nothing but ocean for miles and miles. I slump back in defeat. My stomach growls.

How long was i out for?

I start mourning over the fact this is probably how i'm going to die. I know samurai shouldn't show emotion, but who's here to see. NO ONE. I start to panic and hyperventilate, i sob and sob and sob. I'm alone. I'm stranded. Who did this to me? Why did i deserve this? I spend the little energy i have left crying and hyperventilating. I eventually pass out from lack of water and food. It hasn't been long...right? I'm able to go without food for days so i have no clue why i'm so hungry and dehydrated. I'm in big trouble.

I thought I would never wake up. When I do I see a bright white light. I can't help but blink till my eyes adjust. I try to lift my arm up to block it out but i can't. It's held down by something. I'm too weak to fight it. I try and move my head a bit to look around. I seem to be in a bed and in a doctors office. I can feel the rock of the room so i assume i'm on a ship. I see a brown blob. I rub my eyes with my free hand and see it's some sort of raccoon.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I scream with what little energy I have left.

"AH!" The raccoon says and runs away crying.

What was he doing?

I close my eyes again and hear the door open back up. I open them again and see a raven haired women approach me.

"Hello samurai-sama" she says, "May i introduce myself?"

I nod warily.

"My name is Nico Robin and the animal you saw earlier was Chopper, our doctor! He was taking care of you and you scared him a bit," she giggles,"C'mon in Chopper she won't bite."

A little raccoon with antlers shyly walks in.

"I-I'm Chopper" He says.

"Where am I?!" I ask.

"You're on the Sunny! We'll give you more information once you're better. Please be kind to our Doctor here. He's only going to help you" Robin says as she leaves.

Chopper jumps up on the stool next to me.

"I'm going to take off your bandages now" He says.

I've had a million thoughts running my mind I didn't even realize the state I was in. My whole body is wrapped in bandages. It aches. I have to remember i'm a samurai. I shouldn't accept help from these strangers.

"No" I sternly say.

I sit up and the pain is like the knife. I don't wince or react. I shift myself and get off the bed. I nearly fall over but get my composure.

"I need to get going now" I say as I make my way to the door using whatever I can as a crutch.

"NO! You need to rest stop it! Your wounds might open back up! Please lay back down samurai-sama" Chopper orders.

"I am a samurai, I do not need help from others" I say clutching my chest as I step through the door.

I get a first glance at the ship i'm on. There's beautiful grass on the deck, chairs, and even a tree. This ship looks very nice. It's night out and the stars illuminate the people sitting out on the deck. I see the raven haired woman from before. I also see a new guy, he has green hair and the stars illuminate his swords. He's cleaning them while his back is against the mast. I weakly but firmly make my way down the stairs. I use the railing as a crutch and make my way to the bottom. I let go of the railing and gain my balance. I take steps towards Robin, who is past the green haired man. I start to make my way and the green haired man takes notice to me. He quickly steps in front of me and has the tip of his katana to my neck. I feel blood trickle down my neck. I keep a stone face even though my wounds are close to opening. The pain is almost unbearable. I stay firm and stand my ground.

"Who are you and why are you on our ship" He barks at me.

"I'm wondering the same thing" I reply.

I try to step back but I feel the cold metal of another blade against my side.

"Answer me" He orders.

"I don't know why i'm here!" I yell.

Unfortunately with that I could feel the gash on my chest open and start to spill blood. I grab at my chest and see my hand is soaked in blood. I feel the swordsman draw back his blades.

"Hmpf" I let out quietly and calmly then fall towards the green haired man.

I regain consciousness quickly and I notice the green haired man is holding me bridal style while he argues with someone.

"Zoro what happened!" I hear Chopper cry.

"I don't know I was just asking her questions then she clutched her chest and fell over!" The swordsman replies.

"I'm...okay" I whisper.

"Shut up! You're not!" the swordsman barks at me.

"I- I am..." I pass out again.

When i wake up this time it's daytime. I notice i am now tied to this bed.

"What the fuck!" I squirm.

"Stop moving you bitch!" A man says pinning me down.

"LET ME GO!" I scream.

"STOP IT. IF YOU KEEP MOVING YOU'LL OPEN YOUR WOUNDS."

"I don't need your help!"

"Shut up woman"

All this does is make me angrier. I try to resist his pinning but I just can't fight back. He's so strong. I finally give up and he lets me go. He sits back down on the bench attached to the wall. The three of his swords rest next to him against the wall.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"Tell me who you are first" He orders.

"I'm a samurai from the Wano Kingdom. My name is L/N F/N"

"I'm Roronoa Zoro. I'm a swordsman"

That name sounds so familiar.
