Anecdotes of Lucie Preparing Breakfast:
I grab a sharp knife and set down a basket full of red, yellow, and green apples to make tarts.
I begin slicing thin apple pieces to create rosettes. I pick up a green apple, the last one in the basket. Setting the knife down to cut it in half, it slips, falling from my hands. I catch it, glaring, and try again, but the apple slips once more, rolling away on the floor.
Me: You want to fight...?
I advance on the apple as it keeps rolling. I pursue it through the kitchen, not noticing the door open.
The apple stops in a corner of the room.
Me: Ha! Gotcha!
I grab it, laughing like a lunatic, when a hand lands on my shoulder. I jump, dropping the apple, which resumes rolling.
Me: NOOOOOOO!

LUCIE'S POV
I lay on my stomach at the front of the ship, arms crossed beneath my head, gazing at the sea. My thoughts drift to my family.
To my parents, who often bought me sushi, and to my brother, who owned the next part of the manga...which I'd never get to finish reading! Then again, what could be better than actually living it?
Taro: Lucie?! Lucie?!
Me: I'm here!
Taro: Ah, there you are! Rogers wants to see you.
Me: Why? Is something wrong?
Taro: I have no idea, go see him and find out.
Me: Okay!
Watching him walk off, I get up, leaving the sight of the sea behind. I can't dwell on the past; I need to move forward.
I walk quietly to the captain's office and knock on the door.
Roger: Come in, come in!
I open the door and see him seated, looking at me with a big smile.
Roger: Lucie! There you are!
Me: Is something wrong?
Roger: Not at all. I wanted to let you know that tonight we'll be docking on an island to test your skills.
Me: Sure! How and with whom?
Roger: It'll be a surprise!
Me: Alright... I'll see when the time comes.
~~~~~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~~~~
I follow the others, disembarking. They seem excited to watch me fight for the first time.
Rayleigh: Lucie, follow me!
I follow him into the island's forest. We walk for a while until we reach a wide, flat green plain.
Roger: Ah! Here you are!
Me: So, who am I fighting today?
Roger: Our little Shanks.
Me: Oh...really?
Shanks: Problem? Afraid of getting beaten?
Me: No, just afraid I'll mess up that pretty face of yours.
He raises an eyebrow, a smirk forming.
Shanks: Pretty face?
I roll my eyes with a sigh.
Me: Let's get started.
Rayleigh: Face each other!
I stand facing Shanks, several meters away.
Rayleigh: Ready?!
We nod, eyes locked.
Rayleigh: Go!
He steps back, giving us room.
We size each other up, each waiting for the other to make the first move. Finally, he charges toward me.
