1 Sailing out to the sea

Yue gazed at the sea from her home island, she looked at the sea as she planned her journey. Just one short year ago her mother has passed away, and before her death, she was informed of her father's name. She looked into the sea, she looked at the waves crashing onto the island's shores. Gazing at it she wondered when she will meet her father. She smiled and mumbled softly, "I wonder what face will you make when I tell you about myself, will you cry for mother? I wonder" She slowly got up and dusted her clothes, getting up from the ground she had a very peaceful expression on her face she didn't blame him for not being at their side.

The current her was in north blue, it was a small and peaceful island the people were nice but her mother had trained her just when she was a child, so Yue was not a weak girl. She was considered strong, even the strongest animals of this island couldn't match her. She used her fists and legs for combat.

She walked towards the shore of the island as she prepared a small rowboat to start her own journey. Just when she stepped onto the small rowboat and wanted to depart, someone came running shouting. "Big sis, big sis," The person that came running and shouting her name, Yue looked at the running boy, she asked him with a gentle expression "What is it, Tommy?"

"Big sister, it's bad, bandits have descended the mountains, they are terrorising the people."

"It is good you found me when you did, sometime later and I would have departed."

Yue left the little boat as she rushed back towards the city, she ran until she finally saw the village. The village was clean, nothing was happening there were no bandits. She turned back and she saw her rowboat it was floating away. Yue looked forwards to the shore, her expression tensed up.

She left the village and headed back to the shore, where she saw the little Tommy. Facing his big sister Yue he smiled happily, "Now you don't have to leave big sister, now you won't become a criminal big sister."

Yue just sighed, she bent down and pulled the cheek of the little boy, "You really a stupid, I will leave and no one can stop me, you only just delayed my journey."

Hearing her words the little boy's eyes teared up he started sobbing, "I don't want the big sister, to become a pirate I don't want that"

"Don't worry, even if I become a pirate, I will always be your elder sister, even though we have no blood relations."

"Then take me to the sea with you," The boy pleaded.

"Can't do that, you are too young little Tommy."

"But, big sister"

"That's enough, I have to build another boat."

"I will help big sister," Tommy said while his head was handed down.

"Thank you, Tommy"

"It's fine, it's my fault in the first place"

"Thank you, Tommy."

They both started working, in another two months the boat was finished but this time Tommy said his goodbyes, she waved one more time and sailed into the sea.

Yue opened the map as she looked in her current location, she knew her father was in grand line, but she didn't dare to sail in such a dangerous sea with a little boat. From her mother's stories, she knew what kind of place was the grand line. She looked at the map and decided on her next destination, she knew what she needed to do first before sailing out of her home waters. She needed a log pose, she needed a proper ship and she also needed Nakama. She didn't want to sail out alone.

The first Island in her path was an Island called Taunville Ait this island was her first destination. With her small boat, she sailed the calm sea.

Yue was really lucky not meeting the storm in her small boat, setting foot on the island. But she frowned when she did so. It was because the town was in the middle of a pirate raid. She furrowed her brows and rushed towards the commotion.

Running she saw as the pirates as they were killing common people and taking whatever they wanted, she frowned. She furrowed her brows as she attacked, punching a pirate right in his face, she proceeded towards the next and the next. Defeating all the pirates she looked at townspeople as she asked, "Are you okay?"

But the man that seemed to be the village elder roared at her instead, "What have you done!"

"These pirates were collecting the taxes."

"But they slaughtered your people" The girl complained,

"We didn't pay in time so we paid the price," Said the man with his head hanged down. He looked really sad, Yue saw another emotion rather than sadness and it was anger she could tell, this man felt hatred towards these pirates.

"Girl, who are you?"

She smirked and announced, "I am Ju D. Yue and I am going to become a queen of pirates!"

The man looked coldly at the girl, "You a pirate?"

But at the next moment, he roared with laughter,"Girl, you look like you haven't shed blood yet, don't do something dangerous as becoming a pirate." The man advised the girl in front of him, he thought it would be a waste for her to become one of those thugs.

Yue just smiled as she asked, "So who is the pirate that terrorizes your people?"

"Why do you want to know that?"

"I will defeat him for you, but in return I expect you to give me a ship."

The man laughed and looked at Yue, "Are you sure? You might get killed"

"It's okay this is the path I chose myself."

These words reverberated within him, "Chose yourself huh. Alright, I will tell you, the man that terrorizes our village is worth 5 million beri and his name is ..."
