I wake to the sun slightly beaming through the floor boards. I stand from the hammock with the thought of my crew mate dying, lingering on my mind.

I stand and get ready for the day. A deep red jumpsuit with a black leather harness over my shoulders to encase my daggers. I rolls the bottoms up and slip my boots on. I push the sleeves up my arms and make my way up.

Luffy is sat up on the goat and I look up to him. "Do you know what he's doing?" He looks to me and gets up, coming down. Luffy nods once. "It's his dream. We talked about it last night." I look to him. "Sorry. I had fallen asleep or I would have helped." I look as Zoro and Ussop step from their areas. "It's okay Mira. Being here is what matters most." I nod once and we step from the ship. Nami isn't present.

I look to see my brother waiting patiently. "Monkey D. Luffy. I'm surprised the marines would require my services for such a small package." I look to Mihawk and he speaks once more. "Though I do like your hat." Zoro interrupts. "Enough. Let's begin." Mihawk takes the small cross from his neck and opens it. That's what he would train me with compared to his sword. "What the hell is that? This is a sword fight."

He tilts his head to the side. "I don't hunt rabbits with a cannon." The two then begin to start their fight. Zoro runs at Mihawk and I look to them as my nerves heighten to drastic measures. Mihawk quickly stops him easily and steps back swiftly with each step and Zoro is forcefully fighting. He is angry and runs towards Mihawk who stabs him in the left shoulder. I pull one dagger from the harness as he repels his small knife from his shoulder. "You're brave. So I'll do you the honor of killing you with Yoru." My breath hitches as I grasp the handle tight, my knuckles whitening. He withdrawals his sword and Zoro withdrawals all three of his. He swings them at him and my brother easily passes by with a swipe of his sword, clashing against Zoros swords.

He's on his knees and his swords clash to the ground in pieces.

"You're defeated. Why do you persist?" My brother speaks and I watch as the two converse. "Wounds on the back are a swordsman's greatest shame." He sheathes his sword and then holds his arms out. "Magnificent."

He nods once and as Dracule swings, I scream out. "Brother!" He slices through Zoros chest. And Zoro falls back onto the ground. "Zoro!" Luffy yells out and runs to him. Dracule looks to me. I hold my dagger out to him and grit my teeth. He just looks to me then moves his head to Luffy. "Monkey D. Luffy, what's your goal?" Luffy speaks up and looks up to him. My ears are ringing as their conversation continues. "I'll be waiting." Is the last thing I catch onto. "And for you, sister, I'm glad you found a new crew of dreamers." He swiftly steps from us and I drop my dagger and feel a hot tear escape my tear line I didn't know was gathering.

I'm still weak. I'm still too weak to save anyone or stand up for my new found family. I look to Nami who is looking at me with disbelief and then to Zoro with disbelief. I didn't even notice that she had showed. I look to Zoro who's losing blood. He holds his sword up. "I'll never lose again!" He drops his sword and passes out.
