After the funeral for Going Merry, all of you headed back to Water 7, you went after Zoro, your best friend you haven't for seen in a long while. When he was walking off with the others, you turned into a bolt and zig zagged to appear in front of him.

"Oi, Roronoa Zoro." he looked back,  you smirked.

" I challenge you to a duel." You wanting your meeting again to be easily remembered and also to get the exciting feels of the good old times. Since it's been a while, your looks and attitude has changed, he surely can not recognize you so what's the harm. On your back is your precious sword Wuxian. You named it a different language, the meaning was deep for you and a reminder to look ahead, charge forward. You like sword fighting and testing your strength, you didnt know if he recognizes you but the fight probably will.

You both charge against each other, with him using his two-sword style. But he did a three-sword style before. You still didnt know how he still used that technique though. He charged at you, with an Onigiri move, you chuckled. Still holding the hilt of your sword, waiting for the precise moment. As the sword was about to pierce your skin, only traces of bolts were left sparkling at you previous standing point. You stood right behind him, slapping his back while adding a tiny bit of electricity to paralyze him.

He tried to move but couldn't, as Sanji was about to stand in, Luffy threw his hand in front of the blond.

"This is his fight." Straw hat said.

"Much appreciated Straw hat but this match is over." You put your hand on his back, retracting and sending electricity to make his spine function again. He stood up straight, turning around.

"Just who are you?" He said, making a clear face.

"And here I thought you had grown stronger after all these years." Being nosy and observative, a detail popped a question/

" Aren't you a three sword user, where's your third one?" you asked 

"Gone." he said before charging at you again. Using your handle, hitting his back, making sure you didn't make his injuries worse. He panted as you backed away, although you didn't get to use Wuxian then. You'd have a sooner or later anyway, but still felt disappointed that you couldn't use it him.

" You tired, Seaweed?" He was shocked, no one ever called him Seaweed, not with that cocky face in this situation unless. He put his swords back, smirking and spoke.

" Yo (Y/n), haven't seen your cocky face in a while." he looked back at you. You smiled back, releived that he realized that it was you, his crew was in awe. 

"(Y/N)!!!!" Everyone said in unison, no one knew you had connections to the swordsman.

"That's me" you said before running over and giving him a hug before releasing him to say hello to his crew. But a little stare caught your eye when you were hugging that green headed bro of yours. Despite that, you paid no mind.

"Thanks for taking care of Zoro, he's quite the handful with his directions" You snickered, his face growing red from embarrassment. His head cooled off after a while

"What brings you here anyway, I saw you but didn't think it was actually you." he asked while looking at you with a confused face, well your clothings of choice had changed and your hair grew longer as well as you height so not surprised. 

"Time changes us, you could say. But hey, leave the talk for the way back." you said , needing to check back  on Berg and Paulie on the way.

"I want to talk to your captain too." You told while walking towards his crew. You looked at Luffy, who looked beat up and tired and unconscious for the moment. 

You walked back to their room and caught up with Zoro while Nami asked about answers about Zoro's past, which you did not answer, saving his moments for another time. You still stayed witht he company but occasionally stopped by on to see if Luffy had awoken or not. Getting Zoro to be a pirate is one thing but having him stay this long is something more. A captain that has capabilities and a free spirit unlike the other crews you've been with so far, now that was a thing to look forward to. On the second day, Luffy woke up and ate like the world depended on it. Heck, even your stomach will so too much. You were even asking Zoro if his stomach was a bottomless pit at some point.

Being visited by Monkey. D Garp also made (y/n) worry. Luckily, he wasn't there to catch Luffy but dropped by to say hi. They were related too, which was one of the not so surprising things to you. They act almost the same like peas of a pod. Sleeping randomly and does things that are atrocious.

Before the Straw Hats set sailed, you asked something that you have had doubts for a while to join Luffy's crew. You simply told Luffy you also had a dream, not like Zoro or Kuina but something more and told him that you think that you could accomplish it with his crew. He agreed, whih you felt like that was way too easy. You didn't think it was that easy, to be honest. Because Merry was gone, they didn't know how they'd get a ship until Franky built the ship called Sunny Go for the Straw Hat pirates, cause of their 'persuasive' ways, Franky also joined the crew.  As you travelled with Straw Hat, your experiences with the crew were unforgettable. 

At first you had trouble fitting in, so you'd stick with Zoro for safety and occasionally stopping by Franky's , then Luffy would ask you to play along with, the long nose man, Usopp and, the talking reindeer, Chopper. After a few days with the crew, you got used to Nami and Robin, being the girl you were, you asked Luffy to duel you since he wanted to know what abilities you had.

Zoro of course never knew you used devil fruit but now was the time to show your new friends what you could do. Taking out Wuxian, the aura around you started to build up with an electrified shape. The sword of yours showing sparks of blue electricity, which you never knew why.

"Come at me Luffy." you shouted as he started to strike you with his Gomu Gomu powers. (Y/n) devil fruit allows her to enhance her normal abilities such as hearing or sensing but doing many senses at once is difficult since concentrating her energy in three or more places takes a tole on her body. This is due to her using her electricity throughout her body to heighten her senses. With both at her advantage, she was pretty sure she could manage a fight. 

Luffy stretch his arm back shouting out a move.

"Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol" His fist going at top speed, closing your eyes. You let your instinct get to work. Turning into electricity, you course around his hand to his shoulders. Giving him a nice shock, you smirk, thinking he was finished.The others weren't worried at all which worried ya. And that's when his laugh scared you.

"Shishishi, that wont work on me." He said with an angelic smile. You backed off, smiling to yourself. What a hard nut to beat. He charged at you again, this time running towards you.He clung himself on you, using his hand as strings. Wanting to get out of there, you zapped out of there, next to the seaweed Zoro.

In the middle of the fight, Sanji called out lunch time, that made Luffy spring to the kitchen in less than 5 seconds. Bringing your sword back, you walked alongside Zoro . When you got in the kitchen, he cooked (Fav/food) for you. You haven't eaten this in a while, your eyes sparkling from the scent of the heavenly food, you chowed down after giving your thanks. Taking Wuxian off next to you, enjoying your meal.After lunch was over,Luffy and the other left except for Zoro, you and Sanji.

Thanking Sanji for the food once again, you left the room. As you got down to the grassy terrain of Sunny Go, you felt the disappearance of Wuxian. Walking to the kitchen when you walked up to the stairs. In the window, you could see Zoro wrapping his arms around Sanji's waist as he does the dishes. You grow red as youquickly made way for the bathroom to wash your face.

  You saw something you never saw coming
