The Copyist (One Piece & OC)

Chapter 2: My New Life

(Save the videos for later in the chapter)

***Amaya's POV***

It's been three years since Garp found me. I've been with him ever since on his ship and being carted around with him wherever he went. Sometimes he would forget about me, so Chi and I would just chill in his cabin.

During one of the times that he left alone, I was able to get out the leather bound journal that was in my basket. It took forever to get my chubby fingers to loosen the string that tied it together.

I was only able to read the first page, but it explained to me what my devil fruit power was. It was called the copy copy fruit. I was able to copy any devil fruit powers of other devil fruit users I've contacted, but there was a catch. I had to get a kiss from them, luckily the journal said that even a kiss on the hand would make it work too. Otherwise that would just be too embarrassing!

Once I've copied the power from someone, I would be able to call upon it at any time as long as that person is still alive. There was also a second use for my power, and that was copying knowledge.

Apparently I could copy the knowledge of a single subject from the person who would have to kiss me in some way. I could only use my power once per person. So if I ran into someone like Law I would only be able to copy his medical knowledge or his devil fruit power. I couldn't take both.

I've already copied my first devil fruit, and it's a logia type! One day Garp decided not to take me with him to a short so he left a babysitter with me. It was Smoker. Can you believe it?! He looked so young too. It must have been before he became a Captain like in the series.

He had already acquired his Smoke Smoke fruit, and he only smoked a single cigar at the time. Smoker had to watch me for a week. I would get bored easily, so he was forced to entertain me. He read me books from stories, and if it got complicated he would show the story through puffs of smoke.

He would create smoke versions of the characters and make them move like they did in the story. It was so cool to watch, and it was surprising to see a softer side of his usually hard exterior.

The day Garp came back to get me Smoker gave me a short kiss on the top of my head in a brotherly manner before leaving. That was how I acquired the Smoke Smoke fruit.

The next week when I was hanging out with Garp. I tried to make the smoke images that Smoker did with the stories. I made a small cloud fox and moved it around for Chi to play with.

Chi had grown in these past three years. She was twice the size she was when I first met her, but she was only half the size of the cloud fox that I saw on the Skypiea episode in my last life. I guess cloud foxes grow super slow. I'm not sure.

She would make cute noises that sounded similar to her name, while she was playing with the smoke fox I made.

Garp was shocked when he turned around from his desk and saw Chi playing with the smoke fox I made. His eyes practically bugged out of his head.

I laughed a childish laugh, since it was fitting for my age. "Garp funny," I said with slight difficulty.

Even though I knew how to talk, I didn't want to start with complete sentences. Besides Garp would be curious where I learned it, since I'm usually with him and not other people.

***Time Skip- 1 Year***

It's now been four years since Garp found me in the river. He's taking me to an island and told me that he was going to leave me with some people there. I wonder if it will be Dadan and her crew in the mountains. That would be fun-ish.
