My legs began to ache, I had been running for the past 4 hours, something my bodies constitution made possible to do. I had been on the close to death just a few days ago, and a merchant had helped me recover after I escaped my home island (Not without injury) which effectively made me survive my injuries. The reason I was running however was because I had stolen a devil fruit from him, which was a greedy thing to do of course, but I was a greedy person.
The chase had tired me out, and I lost the merchant who was running after me. I quickly sat down against a wall in the alley to regain my stamina. I was a child who was expelled from my homeland of Totto Land by my own mom, Charlotte Linlin. This happened when I was 14, which was 3 years ago. The only reason I escaped alive was due to big brother Katakuri and sister Brulee. Brulee had the mirror fruit, which let her travel through mirrors.
When Mama ordered my punishment, it was originally execution but Brulee used her fruit to send me to a island she visited to collect candy a long time ago, and big brother Katakuri who made sure I could defend myself after giving me a booklet on a thing called Haki, he told me it would be essential to survive in the Grand Line. I've been practicing it for a while but I can barely use it efficiently.
Anyway, let's check the devil fruit. It's appearance was gross, and I mean gross. It had 100 stems shaped like small arms, and it was a puke greenish color. I closed my eyes tight and bit into it, the taste was miserable as I swallow every piece of it. Information enters my head, this fruit was the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Hecatoncheires. It was a giant, the size reaching 600 feet. I could choose the height though, which made me sigh in relief. The minimum was still 60 feet tall, but that was much, much better than 600 feet.
I sat in the alleyway a bit longer before heading out into the streets. Now you also may be question why I ran from the merchant instead of killing him after taking the devil fruit, and that was because while I could kill everyone on this island easily since it's the East Blue, I didn't want to become a wanted man until I was strong enough for the real threats as I would be targeted due to being Big Moms kid, and one of her unknown ones at that, which was a rarity. I began walking through the street, blending into the crowd of people as I made my way to the port.
"There he is! That's the thief!" I heard the voice of the merchant shout, and I saw marines running towards me. There were around 20 of them since I had eaten a devil fruit and was now considered a potential threat. "You are being apprehended by the Marines, do not resist or we will use lethal force to apprehend you!" I gave them a glance, before complying with them. I didn't want to be hunted for being Mamas son, then it hit me. How would they know I was?
Me and her had nothing in common except our bright pink hair and height, with me being 15 feet tall which wasn't really that rare in the grand line.
After running through the scenario in my head, I decided the best scenario is to get captured by the marines. "I didn't even get the devil fruit, someone else snatched it from me and ran off." I bluffed, trying to avoid sea stone which was something I knew about. "Ha! That's what you get, dirty little rat!" The merchant said, which was ironic considering he was only 6 feet tall and had to look up to see me.
The marines visibly relaxed once I said I didn't eat the devil fruit, putting regular cuffs on me instead of seastone, which I doubt they had. As the East Blue is known to be quiet weak. The marines dragged me onto a ship and threw me in a cell, which worked in my favor as we may go to the island I've been meaning to go too.
The island of the beginning and end, Loguetown.
3 days passed by, and we arrived at our destination. "Hands behind your back and lean up against the cell." the marine said, I complied and we began to leave the docks and walk through the streets, and eventually we got to another jail where I was locked up again. I sat in this cell, and a week later I was let out of the cell and was met with a commotion in the town square. A boy with a straw hat was on the execution platform, even from far away I could hear his words as a clown with a big nose raised a sword over his head.
The kid had a smile on his face, "Sorry Zoro, Sanji, I'm dead." The grin stayed on his face as the sword came down.
*BOOM!!!*
A lightning bolt struck the platform, bringing it down. Instead of the kid being charred, he stood up unscathed. 'That wasn't natural weather, someone's protecting this kid.' I thought with narrow eyes as he began to run towards the port. Being chased by a man I had seen while locked up, he seemed to have a smoke devil fruit. I followed after them and see a boat departing from the island.
I see the smoke guy try to pin the straw hat pirate down, as if being drawn to him by an unknown force, I charge towards the marine and deliver an axe kick to his head as it connects due to him being unaware of it coming which brings him down. "Thanks!" the pirate says as he begins to run to the ship.
I followed him, he launched himself by stretching his arms and flew to his ship. I followed suit and prepared my legs as I jumped on the ship with him. My head went straight through the deck, as I pulled it out, I saw everyone looking at me on guard.
"Sorry 'bout the deck, that ones my bad."
