"Many people say that their reason to live is a hope, a dream, or a goal; they usually refer to it the pronoun "it". My reason to live is not an "it"; it's a "her". The moment she came into my life, she changed everything. She added a special light in my life, inspiring me to always look at the light at the end of the tunnel, for she would be there, always waiting. If she was to leave, I wouldn't be able to survive, for she would have taken my heart with her. It's funny how one person can walk into your life and change it that drastically, but I have no regrets. She is my love, she is my life, she is my deadly sin." He's a deadly assasin, she's an archaeologist. He needs her presence, she pushes him away. Two halves make a whole, and their fates have been decided...

What if you suddenly woke up in a place you never knew? How about if you were placed on death row? Now, what if a psychopath was tailing you and making your life a living hell by framing you for crimes you never committed? Finally, what if you had a rare gift that should have never been possible, and never even knew you had? These are the questions I have to answer right now. I have no clue what to do and no matter what path I follow I’ll be dead in the end. My only hope is the three people standing in front of me at this moment, the ones that have guarded my life all this time. But now I have to take matters into my own hands and can no longer rely on them; or they’ll die. What do I do? Do I let them die, or take their places by sacrificing myself? These are questions a freshman in high school should never have to answer, let alone think about. If you want to know how I’m going to answer these questions, read these few chapters I’ve scrapped together. As of now… I’m dreaming. Are you?

"Do I deserve to live?" That was what Key, a 15 year-old girl suffering from childhood memories, kept in her mind as she kept on searching for answer for almost a year, trapped in a cage like a bird. Treated like an outcast, a monster, she was taken in by the Master of the forest. Forbidding to go out of the forest and go to the village she was trained to be strongest of the strongest, taught whatever it is that must be taught and learned. But to be what? Thus, the day came. Helping out a man, who turned out to be a pirate- and what's worse, a Shichibukai! Will he be the key for her freedom? Or another pirate who'll just take advantage of her forbidden and cursed power?

WARNING: CURRENTLY UNDER REWRITE!! DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A 'FANFICTION' MADE BY MR. EICHIRO ODA.

Trying to run from the demons of her past, Felicity seeks refuge on a rural summer island in the Grandline. A mysterious cool pirate captain stumbles upon her hideaway and awakens painful memories and opens the wounds she'd tried so hard to mend. The Captain of the Heart Pirates is frustrated with the seemingly innocent girl. There's something familiar about her. Why does he recognize her? How does he know her? When he finds out the truth that they share a past acquaintance what will he do with her? So I started writing this before Law's backstory was revealed (like the whole Cora thing...so it's not gonna make much sense with ya know... the actual story line....but that's what I get for jumping the gun and trying to make up my own backstory on the few hints that were dropped before his backstory was revealed..)... just kinda roll with it, I'll try to make it fit to the best of my ability with what I've written and what's already been revealed, but it's still not going to make sense if you base it only on his revealed back story. So keep in mind this is FAN FICTION and roll with it. [Obviously I don't own One Piece]

On that fateful day the rain was heavy. Asuka was drifting in her small rowboat she stole from a dock on a nearby island. Her burden of carrying a five point five hundred million beli bounty isn't easy, with bounty hunters persistent on collecting it thinking she's an easy kill because she's a woman, only to end up dead in their tracks. She sees a near by ship sailing, sturdy in the thrashing rain. This ship happens to be the Thousand Sunny belonging to the Strawhat pirates. This day decides not only Asuka's fate but the Strawhat pirates as well. Particularly the swordsman of the Strawhats. Roronoa Zoro. [cover done by me, original work credit to the dA artist]

Disclaimer: I do not own Luffy, Shanks or any of the other characters from One Piece. I only own Emiko and any other characters I may create along the way. You don't have to have seen the show to understand the book though it would help. The book is set when Luffy is still a kid and therefore the plot is mostly my own. Enjoy! Shanks decided to docks at a little island with his crew. There he meets a mysterious and intriguing girl who claims she has no name. Despite her protests, the red haired pirate finds himself wanting to get to know more about the girl who he names Emiko. Will he be able to fix the broken girl he is falling for? Will she let him? Will she let him carry some of the burden or continue on carrying it on her shoulders alone?
