Prologue: Demon's Child

The 4 year old girl woke up feeling dizzy. Her hair was red and she felt really uncomfortable. She was lying down on her mother's lap. A white kitten slept at the girl's feet.

"Hello, love." she said. "Mama!" Karin said happily. Then she stopped and looked around. "Where are we? Where's Daddy and everyone else?"

"They are at home, love. It's time for you to grow bigger." The mother emphasised with her hands. "If you further away from us, you will definitely have the chance to grow stronger."

Karin frowned. "So I won't see Mama and Papa anymore?"

Her mother took out a dull beige coloured drawstring bag with two front pockets that resembled eyes and had a zip as a second mouth. It had her Jolly Roger stitched on the back- A smiley with red hair and a black cap. "This is a magical bag from my home, Karin." Her mother said to her. Karin focused her attention on her mother. "It can keep many things inside. It's for you." Karin opened the bag and found an Eternal Pose. Her mother had shown some to her before. It was labelled "Dressrosa". It points to home.

"I won't be gone forever. Eventually, we will meet again. Once you're stronger, you will definitely find us again. This log pose will point to home."

The woman kissed her forehead before disappearing into a cloud of purple dust. Some of the vapour entered the child's body.

The child lost consciousness.
