Just another morning

In the East Blue, the sun was shining, no clouds in the sky, and the sea was calm.

Only a small boat drifted on it. After half a day, the sun was getting low; it was discovered in the middle of the ocean by a pirate ship. They saw it as easy prey. So they didn't waste any time to reach it.

The small boat got pulled and nobody wanted to go. It didn't look like there was anything useful in it. So the new member got the task to look at it thoroughly. Everyone went through those simple scout tasks, when they got hired.

He ranted a bit about wanting to do something more worthwhile, he wanted to prove himself as fast as possible, but he still descended into the boat cabin to do his job.

It didn't take long before he surfaced again to report. His crew grows surprised. They all thought it would be a waste of time and unrewarding.

He told them about a person and scrolls with weird symbols on it. He did not find any food or other valuables.

The second news caught the interest of the Capitan. He thought it could be encrypted treasure maps. He ordered him to check if the castaway was still alive. Maybe He could have useful information regarding the map and its danger.

The newbie was reluctant to obey the order but still gave in with disgust written all over his face. He saw his Capitan slowly getting mad at him for disobeying his authority.

He took a deep breath before he slowly removed the blanket covering the person.

His disgust changed to surprise. In front of him was a woman. She was dangerously thin, he couldn't tell if she was alive or not.

He stared for a while until his nose got attacked once more by a terrible smell.

He wiped her up in the blanket and tried to carry her up like a princess, but he realized his mistake very fast. The smell assaulted his nose with more force than ever before. He nearly poked, letting the girl fall on the ground.

The Cardet couldn't take it and lifted her up on her legs covered in the blanket instead. She wasn't heavy so he didn't have any problem with it. Holding her up as far away from himself than he possibly could.

He tried once more and slowly went upstairs again.

While he didn't have to fight himself, to not puke his guts out. His balance got terrible. Once one of her arms slided out of the blanket and hit the stairs. He lost his balance completely.

The pirate knocked her head on one of the edges before he found his inner center again. He checked once again if she woke up this time, but he couldn't find any changes. She looked near death anyway.

If he would have waited a little bit longer, he would have noticed that her eyebrow twitched a little bit.

When he got back on the boat deck, his Capitan wanted to check the loot himself. After he saw her face, he remembered seeing her somehow, but he couldn't remember where. So he decided to bring her to the ship doctor.

Later on he inspected the rolls but was bound to be disappointed because he couldn't figure out their use.

They found out that she was near starvation, the obvious, but otherwise she was fine. she just didn't have water and food for a long time.

The Doctor fed her with water and porridge then she had to rest for a while. He was sure that it wouldn't take long for her to get her consciousness back. To make sure she could sleep, they got her to the Captain's bed.

After a long shower. Otherwise, She would make the bed unusable with her smell. Still this task was fought over.

She wasn't gorgeous, covered in all the filth, her curves weren't in the right place either, her chest wasn't declared mountains, but it didn't matter because she was a woman. Something they hadn't touched in years.

While they fought for the honor, the Captain searched all of his newspapers until he found what he was searching for, the reason he knew the girl.

He didn't want his crew to know, so he made use of the distraction and kept them away from the cabin afterwards. They started a party. They thought they would celebrate a new woman on board or plaything would be more accurately and she was beautiful. The shower worked wonders on her.

The lucky winner was stunned when he first saw it. Her beautiful snow white skin, full dark red hair going down to her wrist.

If only she wasn't that malnourished to the point where he was nearly scared to rub off the dirt because she would break. She would be drop dead gorgeous to the point of ruining countries just with her looks.

Everyone was waiting for her to wake up. They thought she needed days or a week to recover given the stat she was in.

One the same night, the girl woke up.

My head hurts like a sledgehammer was working on it. My stomach turned itself over and over again, but I didn't feel empty anymore. I saw only blurry.

Time went by, and I could slowly observe my whereabouts much more clearly. Beside me was a plate of porridge. I started to eat slowly, so I would not throw up the food again. This porridge worked wonders.

I still felt like shit, but I could at least feel my body generate energy to move once again. There weren't many noises besides snoring, loud annoying snoring.

It was good this way. It gave me the opportunity to search the room.

In order to make it stay that way I operated as quiet as I could. I didn't want to push my luck.

I quickly found my seals and some clothes to wear. I couldn't run around with just a blanket, could I?

It didn't fit me at all. Everything was several sizes too big. I looked like at mess, but it was fairly clean at least.

The decorations in the cabin told me I'm on a pirate ship, so I didn't have scruples to steal property because it was stolen anyway.

However, they saved me. Of course, with the intention to sell me or bring me to the Marine to get their reward. Otherwise, they would not drag up a newspaper about me.

I packed all the stuff in one of my seals before I checked the window. It was way too rusty and squeaked at the smallest movement.

I tried the door next. It wasn't noisy, but before it was a person. He or She slept deep.

This damn porthole was too loud. It would awaken everyone and the door is blocked but it still was safer. I had to go through the door. I pushed it open very slowly. So the person wouldn't wake him up.

At first, I just wanted to escape, but I didn't want to risk fainting again. I didn't want to rely on luck, but in this case, I had too. Most of them were still in a deep sleep from their party. Those few who were awake, I was able to bypass successfully.

I only took food, which was the most durable. I had taken their nautical chart with me, but I wanted to make sure that I arrived safely at the nearest island. They couldn't chase me, if I broke their rudder so I did before cutting off my boat.

Some quickly discovered something was wrong as I cut off my small vessel. When the first scream came from their boat. Everyone woke up, but they realized something was wrong with their ship just as quickly.

They started to curse out loud, but I didn't care about them any longer. Even though I was grateful for the rescue, it was as it was. I didn't set them on fire, which was my first idea. So I called it even.

It didn't take long to reach the next island. The first step was to get fitted clothes. My hilarious outfit would just make me stand out a lot.

Luckily I packed some of their treasures too. So I could pay for clothes and some extra for my journey. I even bought different sizes, so I wouldn't have a problem once I gained weight again.

The shop owner was shocked but quickly got all smiles once he saw money. He even gave me a big discount because I bought so much.

Nevertheless, only clothes were not enough for me. I was also worried about my appearance.

After they bathed me, even emaciated, I was quite stunning if I may say so and even more recognizable. To avoid problems I disguised myself as male and bandaged my breasts tightly.

As a final step, I bought makeup to give myself manly facial characteristics before I could relax.

I was tired of the dried food I stole from those pirates. It was time for a decent meal.

It felt heavenly to eat proper food. My body took all of the nutrients it could get to regenerate again. It was odd because it was way too fast to be normal. Thank god, I bought clothes of different sizes.

The waitress was surprised and I had to do my makeup again because it was off once my face got filled with life once more.

After I finished my business, the pub's daughter ran into me with a small package on her chest on my way out. I could secure her items, which turned out to be rice balls. She told me about Zoro, the pirate hunter and how he saved her. Zoro was one of the most infamous persons in the east blue at the time but I only heard stories about him being a monster. So it was kind of a surprise to me.

Out of boredom and curiosity, I decided to follow her. However, when she used a ladder to get past two teens and went on the execution field, I got a terrible feeling. Something terrible was about to happen.
