Jora and Law were eating breakfast, when Jora suddenly asked: "Do you want to be a pirate?"
Law just looked at her bewildered.
"I may not look like it but I've been a pirate for most of my life."
"Really? How so?" Law didn't seem to believe her.
"Well then let me tell you a story:
It was about 13 years ago. I was a young girl around your age. I had been a slave ever since I was 5 and had already given up. But one day a group of pirates crashed a slave auction and gave me a chance to escape. At the time I didn't know what to do with myself so I decided to join the pirates who saved me. I went up to their ship, held a knife to my neck and screamed: 'Let me join your crew or I'd kill myself!' I would have gone through with it if the captain hadn't said, he would let me join his crew only if I wouldn't just throw my life away like that ever again. That man was Glod Roger."
With a surprised look in his eyes Law asked: "You're joking right?"
"No, I'm not!", she said a little offended, "You never heard of 'Jora the Oceans Fang'?"
"That's you?"
She chuckled and nodded.
"Let me show you something." She stood up and went over to closet and took out a photograph. "What's that?" 
"An old picture of me and my best friends, Shanks and Buggy."
She handed him the photo.
"I never told them how much they both mean to me. I hope I get to meet them again before I die."
Law looked at the photo. In the middle was a younger Jora smiling into the camera, her arms swung around two men. At her right a red-head, on the left a guy with blue hair and clown makeup.
Jora suddenly asked: "So would you become a pirate?"
After thinking about it and staring at the photo a little more he answered: "I guess..."
"Well can you fight?"
"A little bit..."
"Would you like me to teach you?"
Law shook his head.
"Come on~. I'm not that bad of a teacher."
"What do you want to teach me?"
"I want to show you how to use a sword."
Law seemed interested now. Jora smirked and took out her sword.
"Then let's start right now!"
"Wait what?!"
Jora grabbed him and pulled him outside.
