Luffy's 9, Jimbei's 36, Belle's 14

"Excuse me," I say as I make my way through the crowd of merfolk and soon enough I find myself in front of everyone. I keep my Haki open for when the shot's about to be fired and a second later the petition box catches fire. I sense the moment Hody pulls the trigger and pull out my dagger as I rush forward towards the Queen. I hear people cry out in alarm probably thinking that I was going to assassinate their beloved Queen. I weave through the soldiers that try to stop me and skid to a stop near Otohime but facing away. I swing my dagger and hit the bullet that was aimed at Otohime.

"Grab them." The head soldier says and next thing I know I have six soldiers piled on top of me. I let out a wheeze from the new weight and the Queen stops forward.

"Let them up." Otohime says and the soldiers look surprise.

"He was aiming to assassinate you though my Queen." The minister of the right says but the queen shakes her head.

"That wasn't the case now was it. Your heart holds no evil intent towards me and if I'm not mistaken then you also cut this bullet in half." Otohime says holding up half the bullet.

"I actually managed to slice it in half?" I ask and Otohime nods. "Oh yeah, I've been working on that forever. I never thought I'd actually get that down."

"Let the child up will you." Otohime asks and the soldiers blink in surprise before letting me up.

"I can breathe again." I say taking in a deep breath as I sit up and cross my legs.

"Sorry about that. Can you take off your hood?" Otohime asks sitting down in front of me and I lower the hood of my cloak.

"How old are you girl?" The minister of the right asks.

"I'm fourteen at the moment." I say shocking most people there.

"Where are your parents?" Otohime asks.

"They're dead." I say shrugging and itching my leg which gives everyone there a clear view of my human body.

"You're human." Prince Fukaboshi says in slight surprise and I nod.

"Yeah I'm human." I say picking up my dagger from where it had fallen and putting it away before standing up.

"What's your name child?" Otohime asks.

"My name's Belle." I say and Otohime stands up as well.

"Thank you for saving my life Belle." Otohime says and I nod my head towards her.

"You're welcome and I apologize for this in advance." I say and she tilts her head slightly in confusion.

"What are you apologizing in advance for?" Otohime asks.

"For kidnapping you." I say grabbing her arm and tossing her over my shoulder. I jump unto a nearby roof and turn to face everyone who was gathered.

"Let go of the Queen, what do you want?" The minister of the right yells.

"Mother," The three princes and Shirahoshi yell. My face softens and I look at the four children.

"I'm sorry but I must do this. I'll bring her back in ten years; I apologize for taking your mother from you and Shirahoshi," I look at the Princess who now has her brothers surrounding her, "You may wish to keep your voice in check, it is a powerful one." I say confusing everyone except Otohime and I head towards the spot I have my boat docked. This one has a temporary sail hooked up so I can ride the currents needed to reach Fishman Island and I had it coated again as soon as I reached Fishman Island knowing that I would have to leave quickly I enter the cabin and set Otohime down in the spare bedroom.

"Why are you doing this?" Otohime asks.

"I need things to not change too much or else I won't be able to save the ones I wish to." I say before walking out of the cabin and locking the deck door from the outside. I quickly set sail and after an hour I surface in paradise.

~Third Person~

"Jimbei," Vista welcomes the fishman as he climbs aboard the Moby.

"Vista, may I speak with Whitebeard?" Jimbei asks and Vista nods before leading the way to Whitebeard's chair where he was sitting.

"Jimbei, my son. What can I do for you?" Whitebeard asks.

"Whitebeard, Fishman Island needs your help." Jimbei says and everyone falls silent.

"What has happened son?" Whitebeard asks.

"Queen Otohime was kidnapped." Jimbei says and everyone lets out gasps of surprise.

"Someone kidnapped the Queen yoi?" Marco asks and Jimbei nods solemnly.

"Yes, after saving the Queen's life from a bullet she kidnapped her." Jimbei says.

"Do you have anything to go by so we can start looking?" Thatch asks.

"I do but I still can't fully believe it myself. Her name is Belle and she's only thirteen-years-old. She has black hair that goes to about the middle of her back with dark blue highlights and dark grey almost black eyes." Jimbei says and everyone's silent in surprise.

"You don't think it's her, do you?" Namur asks.

"That description matches her to a t but I don't know why she'd kidnap Queen Otohime yoi." Marco says before turning to another crew member. "Get Shanks on a snail. He might know how to get in contact with her."

"Do you know this child?" Jimbei asks.

"We met her about half a year ago. We talked to her for about a day before she left and we haven't seen or heard anything about her after that." Izo says.

"Got Red Hair on the snail." The crew member says coming back with a snail.

"Why you calling Whitebeard?" Shanks asks.

"We need to get in touch with Belle." Whitebeard says.

"Talk to Benn then he knows her best out of the crew. Benn talk." Shanks says before Benn takes of the snail and you can hear Shanks in the background joining in the drinking game.

"Whitebeard, I have a number for her and she also built a house in the Calm Belt but I believe she's booby trapped the water around it whatever that means. With her it probably involves something with explosions so I would say just call her." Benn says before listing off the number. "Good luck with whatever you need."

"Thanks, yoi." Marco says before hanging up and dialing the number Benn gave him.

"Hello," A male voice picks up after a few rings surprising the crew.

"Hi, we need to talk to Belle yoi." Marco says and over at Belle's house Rosi's rubbing his forehead already getting a headache about thinking of going back towards the screaming match being held.

"Okay, give me a second." Rosi says picking up the snail and heading over to the library where the screaming match is going on.

"Bring me home." Otohime yells at Belle.

"I can't, I already promised to bring you back for your kids' birthdays and your anniversary. I can't compromise anymore than that." Belle yells back.

"I said bring me home."

"Stop acting like a child throwing a fucking temper tantrum. I have a fucking reason for kidnapping you and I already fucking said you can go back home in ten fucking years, possibly in eight if things fucking go as planned. I can't let you fucking screw up my planning just because you can't suck it up and fucking live here for a while. I already fucking did things differently because I didn't want your kids to fucking think you were fucking dead and I could do that without having to fucking worry about fucking getting hunted down nonstop for it." Belle yells panting slightly after her little rant.

"Ooh, she snapped." Bellemere says and Belle glares at her before noticing Rosi with a snail.

"Who's on the fucking snail?" Belle asks in a not very polite voice.

"I don't know and I don't think I should let you talk to them until you've calmed down so we don't have to worry about you killing someone." Rosi says.

"Fucking ask who it is then and I won't go fucking murdering them." Belle says.

"I can see why that guy was scared now yoi." Marco says from the snail and Belle blinks in surprise.

"Why the fuck are you guys calling?" Belle asks.

"We got told you kidnapped Queen Otohime and we want to know if we can get her back yoi." Marco says and Otohime looks slightly smug.

"No, you fucking can't have her back. I'll fucking bring her back in ten years and don't even try fucking taking her back because you won't even get within three miles of my house without having the Moby sunk and if you try sending Marco in from the air I won't hesitate to shoot him. You guys may be on my good list but if you fucking try to get in the way of my plans I won't hesitate to injure you. Nothing's fucking getting in my way of saving my family." Belle says before slamming the receiver down, cutting off the call before realizing something and dialing the number back.

"Well that was slightly scary listening to that." Izo says with some crewmates nodding in agreement.

"Try holding that conversation yoi." Marco says and the snail rings in his hand. "Hello yoi."

"Marco give Jimbei this number to give to Otohime's family so they can talk whenever they want." Belle says rattling off a number which Haruta manages to get down on paper before handing it to Jimbei. "Can you stay here with the compromise that I give you your own snail and you can talk to your family whenever you want as well as the five visits a year?"

"I guess I can work with that." Otohime's voice carries through the snail.

"Good cause that's the furthest compromise I can do for now. Oh Jimbei," Belle says catching the whale shark fishman's attention.

"Yes," Jimbei says.

"You remember what I said back in the square to Shirahoshi?" Belle asks.

"Yeah, how could I forget." Jimbei replies.

"Make sure what I said gets to Neptune if it hasn't already." Belle says before turning to look at Otohime. "You want to say anything right now Otohime?"

"Jimbei hurry back quickly. I want to talk to my family." Otohime says.

"I will my Queen." Jimbei says.

"Okay, bye. I've got to dig out that snail now. I think it's between the machine guns and shotguns if I recall correctly." Belle says.

"You just made too many guns." Bellemere says.

"I have not, I've made some un-needed ones though. Still don't know why I built that bazooka but it's built. Okay I'm hanging up now. Talk to you guys sometime." Belle says hanging up the snail.
