Prologue

It was a dark and stormy evening, not fit for man nor beast, especially for a crew of pirates sailing on the Grand Line.

The pirate ship, called The Sea Dog that was sailing on the rough waves was huge. The figurehead looked like that of a huge bulldog. The flag's symbol was a dog's head with two crossbones behind it.

On that ship, the crew was struggling to fight the storm, such as securing objects on the deck or keeping the ship steady.

"Captain Jones! I'm having trouble keeping her steady!" shouted the helmsman.

"Just hold on a bit longer!" the captain called back.

The captain was a man about 24 years of age. He had a thin, light brown beard across his chin. Tattooed on his left wrist was the symbol of his pirate flag. It was also tattooed on the right side of his neck.

He had a black shirt that had the word "BIG DOG" in bold, white letters, and a pair of blue slacks that were held up by a belt, which held a flintlock pistol on one hip and a cutlass on the other. Dangling from his shoulders was mahogany captain's coat which flowed like a cape in the harsh wing.

"Captain!"

Jones looked back to see a woman approach him.

She was a slender woman who appeared to be at the age of 22. She had long, flowing blonde hair, blue eyes, crimson lipstick, and tanned skin.

Her attire consisted of a white blouse, revealing a bit of cleavage. Behind her back, she carried a large staff. A halberd, to be more precise. She also were a short skirt and a pair of knee-high boots. Tied around her head was a maroon bandana.

"What is it, now, Fiona?" Jones questioned.

"The map and the Eternal Pose to our current destination is gone!" said Fiona.

"What?"

"Also…the prisoner has escaped. Apparently, Jackie got drunk and fell asleep on the job, again. She grabbed the keys to her handcuffs and ran out while he was still on the floor. I believe she might've stolen the map and the Eternal Pose."

Jones turned away from Fiona.

"Remind me to kill that idiot when this is over," he growled.

"Aye-aye, sir."

"Anyway, we need to find that brat. If she did happen to take that map and the Eternal Pose, we have to get them back…no matter what. That map is crucial to our survival. It leads to a very valuable treasure…the Thousand-Year Flower!"

Somewhere out at sea, away from The Sea Dog, a little girl was paddling away in a rowboat.

The little girl had navy blue hair and sea foam green eyes. She wore a light blue overall skirt and a pair of lavender sandals upon her feet. Lying nearby them was a rolled up map and an Eternal Pose with the name "Jucia" on it.

The little girl had on a determined face as she kept rowing.

Hang on, Mom, she thought. Just a bit longer.

I know I'm in the middle of the Sabaody Arc, right now, but I've had this in my head for a while and I just wanna see how it plays out. Sorry, guys.

Anyway, review, please!
