~Charlotte's POV~

As I looked around the dead end for an opening with my needles in hand there was a sudden lash of thunder *Crack* it seemed to be coming from the town square. Screams of people could be heard which alarmed the marines "WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?! DID THAT COME FROM THE CENTER OF TOWN?!". A voice on the intercom could be heard "Attention all marines! Pirates are on the loose, a boy in a straw hat and his 2 crew members are currently being pursued. Drop everything, we need all hands on deck. I repeat we need all hands on deck". As the Marines looked distracted I quickly make my move and scurried past them undetected.

"Wow, where'd he go?!" One marine said with his eyes popping out.

"We'll worry about him later! There are pirates!" Another marine said as he signal the others to follow him.

As I manage to escape the marines I head towards the docking port. The announcement said there were pirates in this town. That's good I can use that as a distraction to escape undetected! Hopefully, my boat hasn't washed away by these winds, I wonder if I'll be able to sail in these conditions. As I finally reach the dock I get onto my boat trying my best to untie the rope when suddenly I see a wave of water crashing into me. Despite my efforts to hold on, the force of the wave was too strong, and it propelled me far away from my boat, causing it to be destroyed. Despite my attempts to paddle my hands, I was unsuccessful since I never learned how to swim. So is this the end? Is this how I die?

~No One's POV~

As the crew reached where their ship had docked everyone was told to hurry on board. That was until one of the members Sanji, noticed something "There's a person drowning!". He immediately jumped in to rescue the person in distress. Despite the rest of the crew being confused they had to act fast as they were still being chased. The two got on but the ropes could not hold much longer and snapped.

~Back To Charlotte's POV~

As I thought I was facing my end, I felt a hand on my back then an arm holding onto my waist lifted me up from the water. I reached the surface and gasped for air trying to get a hold of myself. I looked at who was the person holding me by the waist "H-Hello, Y-You saved me" I try my best to mutter out.

"Don't thank me yet till we're both safe. Shit! The rope on shore snapped" He said in frustration and in panic.

"Oi Sanji! Hold on!" Suddenly I hear a young boy say as he pulls back AND THROWS HIS ARM TOWARDS US. 

We both get scooped up by this lunatic and you crash onto the ship. Landing myself on top of the blonde man. I quickly get off my savor.

"S-Sorry about that" I say with a blush on my face

"Calm down. Are you hurt?" The blonde did not seem to be fazed just worried.

"I'm fine I just thought I was a goner is all" I spoke.

"What were you doing swimming in the ocean in this weather?" The young boy said as he was poking into one of his ears with a dumbfounded face.

"You idiot! They were obviously not taking a swim!" A red hair girl smacks the back of the boy's head for the stupid comment.

"That aside. Who are you?" A man with three swords says as he intimidatingly approaches me.

I freeze at the sudden change of attitude, I didn't know how to answer. I look at my surroundings it was a sizable-looking ship fit for a small crew. I looked back at the green-haired scary-looking fella "First, Can I ask? Are you guys pirates?".

The group looked hesitant to answer except for the young boy in the straw hat "Yep and I'm the captain. One day I'll be king of the pirates!" The straw hat boy said nonchalantly with a big grin on his face.

Is this boy insane?! How could he say something so ridiculous?! Hold up don't tell me I got rescued by a bunch of weirdos. I couldn't even make a response to that so I just stood there on the ground stunned. 

The boy stood laughing while the rest of his stood there with their hands on their head. He finally stopped his laughter and lowered himself down to my level "So you wanna join my crew?" The ship erupted into chaos at the sudden and ludicrous question.

"What! Luffy you can't just ask anyone to join the crew! What is the reason for it anyways?!" screamed the girl with the red hair.

"Nami's right Luffy we don't even know their name or background! They could be dangerous!" The boy with the long nose nervously screeched.

"What does it matter they ended up on my ship which means- their now a member of my crew"

"What is that logic?!" I chimed in.

"Luffy they're both right we need to be asking this person some questions. They were suddenly brought onto this ship in a rush during the chaos. Now do I need to repeat myself? Who are you? And why were you so close to the dock when it had been announced that pirates were in town trying to escape?".

I stay silent, hoping that I wouldn't have to answer any of his questions.

"Okay then mind explaining this" The green head man grabs the soles of my feet exposing the very clear busted-up cuffs.

Shit! There really isn't much point in avoiding it no more. If I get this man even more mad he might just cut me down right now. But they're all pirates can I really trust them?!

"Oi, that's enough Marino! They're obviously alarmed" The blonde man lights up a cigarette "Listen you don't gotta tell us your life story just what brought you hear is all. We're technically all criminals here and even if you aren't you were treated like you were. We're not bad guys you know that much you should be able to tell" he says gently

Well, he did save my life so- argh! What do I have to lose?! "My name....is Charlotte"

"Charlotte ay...So does that mean you're a woman?~" The blonde said kind of creepily.

"I was wondering that too you're very pretty but you're kind of masculine too" The redhead chimed in.

I know I'm wearing a binding so they can't tell. I only wore it so I could find work at the brothel as a tailor and to hide my true identity. No, it's best not to tell them now besides I'm wanted as Charlotte, not Annabelle. 

"I might look pretty but don't be fooled, I'm a man"

The blond looked down as if he lost some special prize "Dammit and here I thought I caught a pretty mademoiselle" he said with such disappointment.

"Moron is that all you think about" The green-headed fella said with a bored expression.

"What did you say?!" the blond man snapped back at him.

"Uhh listen I know you have your questions but can that wait for now we're heading toward the eye of the storm" I pointed towards the left.

The whole crew jumped in alarm "Stations, everyone!" The redhead yelled out the order.

I followed the orders as instructed and got into position.
