The King of Pirates

Chapter (I) : The fateful encounter of two children who were called Demons.

A group of kids were running into the woods, seemingly looking for something or someone. The forest doesn't seem that deep or wild since it was close to a town. An island town named Ohara, famous for its 5000 year old tree which was also the biggest library in the world; and for it's scholars and archeologists. The kids kept on running till they reached an open ground like area in the middle of the forest. "Look! We found the monster girl!" A bald kid wearing glasses among the group exclaims at the calm girl who was reading a book in the middle of that ground, sitting on a stump. "Look there is Robin! Let her have what she deserves!" His little sister adds to his sentence. The calm little girl had all attention to her book, she didn't even realize that someone was there, till she felt a sticky pulp on her face. It took her seconds to realize someone threw a tomato at her. "Mon-ster! Mon-ster! Mon-ster!" hearing the chirping she looks up and finds a bunch of kids trying to tease her. The bald kid, who threw the tomato, stuck his out tongue while pulling his eyelids down a bit making a face-taunt at Robin while the others burst into laughing when she looks up at them. Feeling it was enough Robin raises up her arm at them and soon an arm grows from her palm, in the same process a numerous arms grows till it was enough to reach the wicked kids allowing her to smack the kid on his forehead. Right after the hit, his laughter turns into cry then rage. "The monster girl hit me!" The boy cries out in pain and childish rage. "You'll pay for this you CREEP!" The kid threw a tantrum as the group ran away. The arms she grew they already disappeared, turning into flower petals. She wipes off the pulp from her face and starts reading the book again. Robin seemed so calm that after a few moments later a bird flew in and sat on his shoulder, as if she was a statue. Soon a flock of birds gathered around her while she kept on reading on silence.

Suddenly the birds fly away with the presence of an angry woman who rushed in the scene. She stood right in front Robin with her hands on her waist and looked down at Robin, Robin was acting as if she was the only one there,

"YOU! Mischievous girl! How dare you hit my children for nothing?! HUH! They come home to me crying and say you hit them for nothing! You better stay away from my children! Do you understand? Are you even listening to what I am saying?" She burst out in rage as her face was slightly red from the anger and she was breathing loudly to cope up with the blood circulation for her rage.

Robin stayed silent as she looked at her back and finds the bald kid and her sister from earlier making faces at her.

"God, you really are a creep, aren't you? Are you gonna even say anything..." the woman was about to continue with her yelling but Robin closed her book loudly and without giving her anymore chances to talk, she ran away from the place, with tears forming in her eyes.

Robin often comes to the beach to spend some time when she is upset. Today was no exception. The sun was setting, which gave the blue water of the ocean a touch of golden starch making the waves even more fascinating to see. Robin was hipping hopping down the shore with the book wrapped around her chest with her arms. She suddenly heard a voice, not harsh that she is used listening to. Rather soft like a child, and the words were as if flowing in a rhythm. Someone was singing from the woods near the sea beach. Being curious she started to look for the person who was singing.

The little boy who was singing stopped singing and opened up his eyes feeling the presence of someone in front of him. He was leaning against a tree while sitting on the ground, from the shock he sat up straight and looked at the beautiful little girl that was standing in front of him. The girl had green eyes which were seeming to him like they were created only to match her tan complexion and black hair that reached to her shoulders. The purple frock she was wearing was old enough to enough to fade out its original purple color and turn into more of a faded purple. They kept on staring at each other in silence for a few moments. "U-uh Hi! Howdy?" The boy broke the silence with a nervous smile. But the girl is still quiet. The boy was getting embarrassed as the black shirt and trouser he was wearing were dirty from the sands and was torn apart in some parts. He started to sweat slightly from the nervousness, as he makes it even more visible trying to shove his long wavy hairs to the back of his head nervously. His eyes got narrowed from the fake smile he was trying to pull up to cope up with awkwardness he was feeling. The girl only tilted her head to the right and was still staring at him in silence. The boy nervously itches his cheek while trying to keep the awkward smile on his face.
