THE VOW
Over 25 years ago, in a dangerous sea known as the Grand Line, a young red-haired boy wearing a straw hat raced across the Oro Jackson as a young blond-haired girl with purple eyes and pink crosses as iris', jogged behind him. Another boy with blue hair and a red nose shouted and ran behind them. "Oi! You brats, calm down!" An older man with slicked-back blond hair and a dark beard shouted at them, making them stop in their tracks and look at the First Mate with guilt etched across their faces.
"Sorry, Rayleigh." The pre-teens apologised together, trying to play off as innocent, but were far from it, and most of the crew knew better.
"Come on Shanks, let's go see what food the cook can give us," The girl whispered into the red-haired boy's ear and grabbed him by the hand as they tried getting away from the blue-haired boy. Shanks looked at the girl's hand in his and couldn't help but blush at the feel of her hand. He'd had a crush on the blond girl since her sudden arrival on the Oro Jackson, and when she tried to kill him, he could have sworn he fell deeply in love with those unique eyes.
"Bye Buggy," Shanks waved as the blond-haired girl dragged him away across the ship and down the stairs, leaving the blue-haired boy behind.
"Hey, Anna! Shanks!" Buggy exclaimed as the other two pre-teens ran into the ship to cause more mischief.
"Those three, what are we going to do with them?" Silvers Rayleigh laughed, standing beside his Captain, who grinned.

The years passed, and it came. On the day of Roger's death, the world-famous Pirate King. An older Anna and Shanks watched from the shadows, tears falling down their faces at the man who took them in, raised them with ideals, and helped them become the people they are now. It had been two years since either saw their former Captain, who disbanded the Roger Pirates before getting captured by the Marines. The two teens created their own pirate crew, making a name for themselves under their own pirate flag.
Dark rain clouds gathered above Loguetown, and Anna wiped away her fallen tears as she grabbed Shanks' hand, pulling him away from the alleyway and into their new adventures. Roger took his last breath and ignited a new era. Shanks tried hiding his tears, covering them with his straw hat. Still, Anna could see them as she took his hand, pulling him down the street away from the crowd and into this untested new era as people sailed around the seas and ventured out to the treacherous Grand Line, where many would lose their lives.
Anna placed a hand over her barely showing pregnant belly, hoping that she could show her and Shanks's unborn child the way of a good and true pirate and assassin.

A year after the birth of Anna and Shanks' child, the beautiful baby girl had hair like her father's and eyes similar to her mother's. Dakota Le Roux was the apple of her parents' eyes. Shanks proposed a month later, and now the blond-haired teen stood in a small room; her palms felt clammy, and her nerves were getting to her, with her stomach fluttering on the most important day of her life. Anna had been an assassin since she could walk, but this was an even bigger day. She looked at herself in the full-body mirror as one of her most trusted crew members came into the room behind her. "You look beautiful, Anna," Benn commented, entering the room and making her look back at their first mate in the mirror.
