~(Y/N)'s POV

My eyes shot open and I began coughing up a storm which in reality was water. Where am I? Why is it so dark in here? What happened? I don't remember anything? Am I dead? My mind began to wonder all of the place as my breathing became uneven and tears began to pour from my eyes in fear. I'm scared, someone help me! I then fell back to sleep as tears continued to pour down my face. 

I woke up to my body being jerked around, I looked around me but, I still couldn't see anything. It felt like the whole world around me was shaking. I was then thrown into the air and fell back onto the ground with a thud. "Look we caught a big one!" I heard a voice say, "Move aside let's cut it open!" Another man said. Moments later light began to envelop in the place I was laying in. I looked around and I realized I was inside a Sea king and my wrists were handcuffed with sea prism hand cuffs. How?! How am I in a Sea King? How did I get in here anyway? I know I can't swim so why would I want to go into the ocean?  And how did these hand cuffs get on me?

"Captain! You need to see this!" a man yelled as he was staring at me from inside the fish. Minutes later another man came and peered into the fish to see me, I honestly didn't know what to do so I just pushed myself into a corner further inside the fish's body. "Why is she in there? And why is she hand cuffed?" The supposed captain asked his crew mate, while he just shrugged. The caption then looked back to me with a big smile which relaxed my nerves. Probably because I was twelve years old and just realized I have been stuck in a fish for who knows who long so, his nice expression calmed me a bit. 

"It's alright, no need to be afraid of us, we want to help you," the captain said reaching out his hand. I then hesitantly grabbed his hand and after he pulled me out slime dripped from my clothes. Making half the crew turn away and gag which I just looked down in shame for I already was a burden to them. "Can you tell us why you were in there? And why you're handcuffed?" The captain asked. 

I shook my head, "I don't remember," I mumbled out, I do remember important memories from the past. Like the time where I freed all the slaves and escaped from two admirals. I also remember something about cooking at the Bara-. I don't even remember the restaurant's name. "Captain! Isn't she that slave freer, everyone was talking about a couple years ago! People say she was just only nine years old!" A crew member said with a happy expression. "Seven," I mumbled out quietly, "What?" The captain asked hearing me say something. "I wasn't nine, I was seven," I said a little louder. 

The crew froze realizing that the great "Slave Freer" appeared from a sea king and now stood in front of them hand cuffed. "Do you think you could get these off?" I asked looking at the captain.  "Yes but, first what's your name?" he asked me kneeling down to my level. "Tell me yours first," I said looking away, this action of mine made the man chuckle. While his crew stood there astonished for I didn't know the man's name in front of me. 

"My name's Shanks," he said after he stopped laughing, "(Y/N)," I said quietly. "So the "Slave Freer's" name is (Y/N)," Shanks said with a smile, "Don't call me that," I commanded not liking all the attention I was getting. "Alright, (Y/N)-chan then," he said with a smile, "Not that either," I said making him laugh again. "Just call me (Y/N)," I said messing with that hand cuffs that I wanted to be off of me already. 

~Time skip

"Do you have any clue on how you got into a Sea King?" He asked half jokingly and half serious. I thought to myself for a moment knowing that I wasn't dumb enough to jump into the sea out of my own free will. And knowing that I have hand cuffs on I believe someone must have pushed me into the ocean. "Because I have these on and I'm not an idiot who would jump into the ocean, I'd say I was pushed into the ocean by someone else's hand," I said watching as he finally unlocked the hand cuffs. 

I rubbed my red wrists as a tiny unconscious smile appeared on my face, "She finally smiled!" Shanks said happily. His words caught me off guard and my face flushed pink in embarrassment, "Did not! You're delusional!" I shouted storming out of the room with a laughing pirate behind me. I then walked to a secluded part of the deck and watched as waves crashed over each other. 

"(Y/N)! NO DON'T JUMP!" A young blonde boy shouted as he was restrained and being held back by navy soldiers. Was that some sort of flash back? Who was that boy? And why was the navy restraining him? And did I actually choose to jump on my own? I looked at the ocean while I tried to find answers but, none come only making me frustrated. Just what am I forgetting?
