Hello

I'm back. My exams are over and now I have a six-week break. To get back in the swing of things, this is a short chapter that I wanted to add to a chapter, but it didn't seem right. This seemed like the perfect way to add it. This chapter is more or less, the inner workings of Cara.

Now that, that is out of the way,

Enjoy the short chapter

It is night time. Everyone is settled in asleep, except for Cara. Her room is dimly lit by a lantern she had lit to let her see. At the moment, she was polishing and cleaning her spear with loving care. As she polished her spear she was remembering the events of today. She and the others took down a duke and fought some strong opponents. She was getting stronger; she could feel it and that earlier today proved it. This all wouldn't have happened had she not left with Jaune.

She thought about the events of today, Jaune seems to have gotten some notoriety now and will probably get a bounty soon. She still doesn't know why he is so drawn to the name of Leviathan. It's sounds lame.

They got a new crewmate and he seems like a good person. Things were really looking up. She could say that she is happy to be on this adventure with her friends. That word still sounded weird to her. Friends. It made her feel happy. She never really had friends, only playmates that would visit the palace when she still lived there. Out of all of her playmates there was only one that she remembered. She wondered how they were doing right now.

'I'll probably never see them again,' she thought. She then thought back to the people on this ship. It seemed weird. It was almost like they were meant to come along and join this crew, like fate wanted for this to happen. This world is one that is mysterious and doesn't make any sense whatsoever, and it wouldn't get any better on the Grandline, if what Finn said is true. It made her somewhat nervous. She stopped her cleaning due to worry taking her mind, but that worry went away as fast as it came.

She wasn't alone. She had Finn, Maria, Flint, and Jaune with her. She also has her trusty weapon with her. She looked down at the spear in her hand. This spear was something else. She obtained this weapon only several months ago and it already felt like it was a part of her.

She thought back to the opponents that she has defeated with her weapon and what she was able to do. When used correctly, it was like a raging storm that was let loose upon those unfortunate to cross its path. It was like this spear was meant for her hands only. As she looked at the spear in her lap, she realized that she still hasn't done something really important.

She hasn't given it a name yet.

Thankfully, she already had a name in mind. "I'll name you Factus. In my native language, it means storm. How does that sound to you?" She said. She knew that she wouldn't get a response, but it never hurt to try. She stood up with the newly Dubbed Factus and set it somewhere where it wouldn't fall. She picked up her lantern and blew out the flame. She set it down and walked to her bed.

"Good night Factus. See you in the morning," she said before slowly started to fall asleep. What she failed to notice was the spear began to vibrate ecstatically.

And that is the end of the short chapter

I'm sorry about this chapter being short. In the next chapter the Arc pirates are headed to Louge town, the town of the beginning and the end. There they will meet an ambitious boy and his crew headed for the Grandline as well.

I'm sorry about how short the chapter is, but this was something I needed to write to get back in the groove of things and because it was important to the story. I don't know how frequent the updates will be, but I will try to post between one – two weeks. If you have questions, then PM me. If there is anything that I could do better at, tell me. I will try to answer back as fast as I can, although today will be a problem since I have to get my wisdom teeth removed. That's all.

See you in the next chapter.
