10 Sailing To Red Line

Ira directed the helm in the direction of the red line and they all sailed away, Ira looked up front as she thought about how she was going to the grand line as a part of a pirate crew, she just laughed to herself.

Yue opened her eyes and yawned, she looked around and stood up, she walked up to Ira and inquired, "How far are we from the red line?"

"Good morning Captain, as for distance we should arrive in few weeks time."

Yue nodded her head as she closed her eyes, the wind brushed past her hair, feeling the wind she just smiled. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a bird flapping in front of her face, "Good morning, Naju"

"Good morning, Djuu,"

After greeting the captain bird flew up back to the top of the mast. Yue looked up at the sea that was ahead, she then heard a voice, "Food is ready."

Yue smiled and spoke, "Let's go get some food, Ira"

Ira nodded, she shouted, "Naju! Food!"

The board hearing the shout dived down and flew inside. Together they all started dining.

On the day when they were only a few days away from reaching the red line an explosion rang out, Yue's eyes snapped open, she saw it, their pirate ship was being attacked.

They were attacked by a marine ship when Ira looked at this ship, she was dumbfounded. She exclaimed "Father!"

The man looked at Ira and spoke, "Where do you think you are going!"

Yue smirked and she spoke, "She is coming with me to the grand line as my navigator."

"You are that girl," The man exclaimed.

Yue smiled, and charged at the man, she narrowed her eyes and punched, the attack went forward to the man. Yue smirked and as the punch connected punched few more times, the man that was under attack sneered as he attacked back.

Enko too came to the deck and started fighting against the Marines, she pulled her sword and spoke, "Silent Moon," all the marines that were on the deck, all fell down. They had all died. Now only Yue and marine captain remained. They kept exchanging attacks, but he couldn't use his devil fruit on her.

Ira looked at her father and Yue that were fighting she softly spoke, "Stop it"

But they continued, with each attack they both were taking damage. Ira's eyes teared up she yelled with her lungs "STOP IT, JUST STOP PLEASE!"

To the girl's cry, they both stopped and they looked at Ira, the man looked at his daughter's tears then he looked at Yue, "I lost my daughter it seems, pirate. I will leave her in your hands."

The marine went back to his ship without saying anything. Calm has returned back to the ship. Yue looked at Ira and inquired, "Are you okay?"

Ira stopped crying after few minutes, she looked at Yue and asked, "Where is my dad?"

"He already left," Yue explained everything.

"So, is that his consent?"

Yue nodded her head, "We could think it that way"

Ira nodded then smiled and spoke. "Let's go to the grand line already."

They resumed their journey, in another few days they reached the grand line, the city was very calm at that time, so they sailed in the passage. And the journey through the red line was very calm.

The moment they went down, Yue frowned as she heard a loud cry, she faced the direction of the cry. In front of her, she saw a huge pirate marking, it was very huge and very badly drawn. Yue frowned and commented, "Who made this crappy drawing?"

But she frowned as this was her first time seeing such a big whale, her other crewmates also marvelled at the huge whale.

Their spectating was interrupted by a voice, "Laboon, time for your shot."

The whale cried again, Yue looked at the voice and she saw an old man standing there, she looked at him and inquired, "Who are you?"

"I am Crocus, and who are you?"

Yue smiled, "I am Ju D. Yue, and I am going to become Queen of pirates."

The man slightly laughed, Yue, seeing the man's laugher asked, "What's so funny?"

The old man shook his head, "No, I just met a man who too claimed that he would become the king of pirates, by the way, he was also the one who drew that pirate mark on Laboon."

Yue tilted her head and inquired, "The whale's name is Laboon?"

"That's right,"

"Right, then the old man, we won't disturb you any longer, it is time for us to sail the grand line"

"Do you have a log pose?"

"We do" Yue answered with a smile."

"That's good, I big you a good journey"

"Thank you, Crocus"

Yue looked back at the crew and spoke, "Let's go, Ira from now on, if you fail we will all die"

Ira laughed and said, "That's a lot of pressure captain."

"You can do it, Ira"

"I will do my best captain."

Ira took a look on her log pose, and she directed the helm towards their next island, they didn't know where they were going, but they still went there. This was the start of their journey, sailing the grand line.
