reunited

a new pirate

I saw all my friends here in front of my eyes. I grew angry. When I went into attack, bartholomew Kuma poofed me away too. I teared up thinking I'd never see my crew again. I landed on a ship, but don't know what ship. I tried moving , but was in toouch pain. I passed out.

We got back to the ship. I felt frustrated, but also glad. I was livid because Ebony was gone. Or do I thought. When we got to the ship, my skin started glowing again. She was close. "Boss". "Yes heat"? "Your skin is glowing. She's on the ship somewhere". "So let's split and find her". They nodded. Right as we turned around, We almost tripped on something. I looked down. She was alright. Killer saw her shivering and felt her head. "Captain". "Yes killer"? "She's burning up. She needs a Drs help". I felt her. She was. Trafalgar is a doctor. He knows what to do. Unfortunately that meant me swallowing every last bit of pride to ask his dumbass to help. "You know she needs his help". I grimace at the fact he has to help. Before he left, he cleaned and dressed her wounds. I got her in clean clothes because I'll be damned if he does it. "Let her rest. Change her rag on her head every so often to help keep her bottom temperature from rising. She should be good soon". I nod. He left. For the next week, she was out. I could barely eat, sleep, or even speak. After a week, I went down to the kitchen party of the ship for what felt like the first time in months. I hate to leave her, but I need my strength. "Still not up yet" asked killer. "What the hell do you think? If she was, she'd be right here awake, in front of you". "You know, Kid, she'd hate to see what you've become. She'd nag you for not taking care of yourself". I know he's right. I eat some steak and vegetables. After a few minutes, I heard footsteps, and the shower running. I smirk, knowing she's awake. "Don't tell ebony how I've been. I don't want her thinking I'm weak and worried". They nodded.

I woke up in a different place. I looked around. I figured my team was around here. They weren't. I started searching this unknown ship. I couldn't find my friends. My eyes teared up, thinking they're dead. As I passed the bathroom, I decided a shower might be good. I went to get some clothes and went to shower. While showering in the hot water, all I could think of was the straw hats. They did so much for me and I felt like I couldn't save them.
After I showered and got dressed,I smelt something good. I followed that scent to a kitchen. I felt giddy, them disappointed once I saw the straw hats weren't there. I was relieved to see Kid and his crew were okay. "Nice to see your awake, Little sis". I give a weak smile. "How long have I been out"? ""A week. Kid didn't leave your side". I was surprised. Kid glared at Heat. I saw a plate being set in front of me. I give killer a thankful look. After staying at the plate for a few minutes, Killer spoke up. "You need to eat to get back to your full self". I nodded then slowly ate. All I could think of was my last moments with the Strawhats. Even though we spent little time together, they are the closest thing I had to family.
I don't know why, but I started to talk about my crew. "They're gone, aren't they"? "Most likely". "You know, when I first met them, it wasn't pleasant. I actually met them from taking food". They all looked surprised. "Well, my nerd bird has a thievous heart after all". I rolled my eyes, but continued on. I told them about Luffy leave on a huge sea serpent and knocking it out, and him and the other Strawhats helping save me from Controllers mind powers. (I'll put in a prequel story for how her and Shira joined the Strawhats). We all laughed at the stories I told.
I knew I was weak. I needed to get stronger before I saw my friends again, hopefully. "I just want to know they're alive". Killer responded "wait you got poofed and you're still alive. There may be a small possibility that straw hats are also alive". That thought relieved me. I gave killer a hug. After a few minutes of quiet, I broke the silence.
"Eustass,.. I want you to train me". "Why"? "So I can get stronger". "Why do you want to get stronger? Who are you trying to impress"? I figured he'd be, more supportive of me wanting to be stronger. "I have a demon and Angel to try and control. I can't always rely on you guys to save my ass every little time. I need to be able to fight back, to be worthy enough to maybe fight on your crew, temporarily". He shook his head. I huffed and walked away. "You know Captain maybe it isn't a bad idea"said heat. Eustass growled. "I mean, if she's going to be a part of this group, she's going to have to know how to fight better. We could help her control her Angel and demon. She's got so much potential. It will also bring you two closer together and make her feel more comfortable around us. Just think about it" said heat. Eustass knew he was right. He was too stubborn. Since he wouldn't train me, and I doubt he got the others train me, I guess I'll have to do it myself.
Every morning for the past 3 months, like really early in the morning, I would train myself to be faster, stronger, and more wise with my weapons and fighting. I lifted weights to make my arms stronger. I also did mind exercises and worked on building a bond with my angel and my demon side. I work so hard to get to the point where now all I have to think good about is letting them out. We are all equal parts now. After a whole 3 months, finally had complete control of my demon and angel. We coexisted together and fought as one. I was able to make them stronger, more resilient. I was able to use my attack moves and make them stronger. I can let up my angel and demon whenever I like instead of having to feel pain to let them out.
Since the whole team trained in the afternoon, I was usually exhausted from early morning training. I thought I was alone, but my whole crew knew, without my knowledge, I was training to be stronger. Today I'll finally get to put my skills to the test.
