    Today I walk out of the castle gates and down to the city. It's not a big walk but it has a lot of greenery and landscape in between. Our island isn't big but it isn't small either. Father lately has been on me to marry. But I don't feel fit as a Princess. It's like it's not who I am. Every time I tell him this he gets a hazy look in his eyes along with a sad faraway look. Today I saw some strange men docking in the port from my window. I am so excited to see what type of people they are. I start running to the pub when I reach the boarder of town. Once at the pub I bend down and put my hands on my knees to catch my breath. I fling the door open and say," Charlotte!!"

    She smiles and says," Was expecting you to show up your highness. You always want to buy my homemade brew and scope out the new people. So what'll it be today? Saké or wine?"

    I pull up a still next to a man with a mask and say," Both. You said you were using new fruits from the jungle area for these two brews."

   She laughs and nods and says," Yet nothing is compared to your brews. You have the touch and people from miles around pay good money for it. You still haven't decided what to do with your money yet huh?"

   I sigh and shake my head no as she sets the wine in front of me. I smell it and put a finger in it letting a few drops drip on my tounge. I cough and say," Limes and anything citrus."

     Her face pales as she squeezes the limes and citrus fruit into it. I sip it and say," Better. The fruit you used was bitter and extremely acidic. You need to watch the acidic componates."

   She smiles and says," Did you find out where that birthmark is from cause I told you some family's have certain one's?"

    I sigh and say," No father caught me again looking up on old journals of when I was born. I think he took me in because his mother states he never wed as well as never had any mistresses. She stated she would be happy if he did but he never did. I think I know one person who could be his daughter but I think she knows but rather not get involved in the diplomatic part of things right Charlotte."

   She smiles and ruffles my hair saying," Your smart. Yes I am his actual daughter. From what I remember about when you came, a man in a red jacket like royalty with a black moustache and black hair showed up. He walked up to the castle and asked to talk to the new King. Well father allowed him in to speak and in the end said man left but you were left here and raised. All I remember of said man was his name was D. Rog or something like that."

   "Gol. D. Roger was his name", said a dark voice behind you.

   You shake and say," Father ummm hi. Charlotte and I were..."

    He glares at you both and you flinch as he sits and orders his normal drink. He then says," Charlotte is the one who sent you on to knowing the truth?"

   I flinch and nod as the red haired man with a metal arm and the man with the mask stare at me. Father sighs and says," Where to start? Ah lets start with Charlotte. Charlotte was an accident. Her mother and I were teens a rebellious one that one was. She stole a bottle of her dad's best liquor that night and it happened."

   Charlotte growls and blushes bright red at the embarrassment. I pat her head and she stares at me. Father then says," Now (Y/F/N), your father Gol. D. Roger showed up. You were maybe 3 and a half maybe 4 and a half at oldest. He was sick, he just lost his gal to harsh seas and a deadly sickness. He himself had a sickness and was turning himself into the marines. Now we all don't like marines here, because they're attitudes. But he wanted to make sure his little girl. The child he had fully with a wife would survive. He had another child from an affair called Portgas D. Something. But I never met the man. You have a choice to decide for yourself to stay or go. Things will be different but the marines are digging around for you too. I think it's safer to hit the sails and chose your life."

   I sniffle and nod but say," Even if your not my dad you've taken care of me like any good father so you'll always be my dad."

  He smiles and kisses my forehead as he heads towards the castle again. I sigh and say," Gol. D. Roger huh? I don't know anything about the man!"

   The blonde haired man in the mask rumbles in laughter and says," I know some but not much. Roger was king of the pirates. Was known to be ruthless but I don't know for sure. He had a lot of followers. There is still one around named Rayleigh, Silvers Rayleigh the dark knight. He resides with Shakuyaku another one of Roger's old crew. They are in Sabaody Archipelago from my knowledge. They can tell you more but also I think Shanks,Kaido and Whiteheads can tell you more. The man he was saying Portgas for is Portgas D. Ace, he's a comander on Whitebeards crew."

   I nod and say," So these people will give me some answers?"

   The blonde man nods and I sigh saying," Guess I have my sails in the wind so I need to find some people and ask some questions. I'm going to miss home. I'm going to miss you too Charlotte even though I know your a marine spy. Father knows too that's why he won't let you near the castle and such. But I'll leave you with the Kid's pirate's as I go get ready to go."

   She swallows thickly as I walk out with the blonde man running after me. He says," Join the Kid Pirate's. We can get you to Sabaody Archipelago. We are heading that ways anyway and I doubt Kid would mind because I see your gun, whip and swords on your hip that your trying to hide."

   I pause and look over said man to the red head who nods and smile saying," Alright than! Let me get some things together and most of my money and some fruits to make some alcohol for the ship and to sale between lands so the marines will keep off our tail of pilferaging because if you keep things quiet the marines will stay away."

   Both men nod and smile as Killer walks me back to the castle. Killer talks to dad about Charlotte. I don't know if they killed her or what and I don't want to know. But once done the island was giving us fruits meats and other items for our journey.
