(IMAGE IS NOT MINE!!)

It's been a few days after Thriller Bark and getting Brook to join our crew!

I was usually in my workshop but Luffy dragged my out and forced me to play with him and Usopp. Chopper couldn't join us because he had some herbs to sort out with Sky's help.

"Your it Luffy!" I said to my captain as I tagged him and ran away from him chasing me.

"Come back here (Y/N)!" Laughed out Luffy as he chased me down and tackled me on the ground.

"No~ You got me! Hahahaha!" I giggled as I looked up at him since I'm pinned to the ground by him.

He was starring for a while so I got nervous, "Something worng cap'?"

"Hm..........."

"Oh yeah! (Y/N), what's that necklace to you? I've seen you get very sensitive when someone tried to touch it or even look at it." Asked Luffy as he looked down at your chest that had the necklace.

I got a bit taken aback by his question but still maintained my smile, "My mother gave it to me, I don't remmebr a lot since I never really met her. It's just a memento of her, and I get very angsty when someone tries to get close to it since I care about it a whole lot." I explained to my captain as he looked serious while listening carefully at what I'm saying.

"Oh. Well I hope you meet you mother soon!" Smiled Luffy as he hugged you and jumped off you and helping you up.

I smiled but frowned since my mother is probably not here anymore...

But I quickly hid my frown.

"Hey guys there's a weird animal on the railing! I think it wants to tell us something!" Said Usopp as he called out everyone to him so we could investigate.

As I walked up to everyone already looking in awe at the creature I started sweating when I saw that the animal was in fact from my country. "It's a pixie!"

"A pixie? Like Lucy?" Asked Nami as she looked at me curiously.

"No, there the real pixie you humans draw and imagine they have wings and they're the first kind of fairies."

I walked up to the pixie as I it bowed down at me and started talking, "(Y/N)-sama, it's nice to see your okay after all these years. You need to come back to (K/N) immediately."

"What does it mean you have to go back?" Said Luffy rather seriously as he walked closer.

"You must be the captain right? Well, I'm sorry to disapoint you all but your not suited to be aquainted to (Y/N)-sama, she's a royal and your all but weak humans."

"Weak humans?! To point out, we had defeated MANY people way stronger than us!" Cried out some of the crew mates.

"Your highness, I'll give you 2-3 hours to pack up-"

"WAIT!"

The pixie stopped talking and everyone looked at me a bit worried at my expression, "I don't want to go now, can I go home when I'm ready?"

"No. You need to come with us immediately." Said the pixie as it disappeared into thin air.

"(Y/N), better explain now!" Usopp cried out as he looked like he's blowing off his head.

"Let's go to the dining room, please...." I said as I walked in front of everyone.

~~~

"So what's going on?" Asked Usopp as he was the one that broke the silence.

I sighed in defeat and started talking, "I'm a princess from the (K/N) in the Grande Line. I left my country at 6 years old because our worst enemies called 'Nightmares' had attacked my country because of me. But I don't know why they wanted me. I'm sure thy want me back at my kingdom since they don't approve that I became a pirate, I wanted to tell you all this a long time ago but..... I COULDN'T! I'm sorry."

Everyone couldn't say a word as they all gave me some looks. But I still continued, "Robin, you asked me why am I a person that the marines and other pirates are so cautious me. It's because we are sworn criminals by the government! Just like you, I'm a person everybody wants dead. They killed so many of our kind during the generations....And it's probably because of me.....And there is a topic we magicians will never forget, it's called the
'Dark Age'."

Everyone tilted their heads in confusion but Robin was very shocked about what you said, "You s-said Dark Age...?"

"Yes, and I know only a bit of it but I can tell you guys since it's part of my past and my past ancestors' past."

"It all started when-" I got cut off when I heard an explosion.

We all hurried out of the dining room to only find out that we we're surrounded by my country's guards.

"Straw Hat Pirates! Give back (Y/N)-sama unharmed and we'll leave you unharmed!" Said a soldier as they all readied their magic weapons.

"Never! She's staying with me and my crew until I die!" Shouted out Luffy as he and the monster trio prepared to attack them.

"Alright then, you asked for it!"

They used their magic to create lassos to imobilize them.

"Dammit! These binds are strong!" Said Zoro as he tried to cut them up but I stopped him.

"Zoro don't! Those lassos can take away your energy, if you struggle too much your gonna lose more of your strength!" I said to him as they all said 'What?!'

"(Y/N) get back! We'll get Luffy and the others free!" said Nami as she ran to Luffy but got struck from behind and fell.

"NAMI!!"

Usopp then got pinned by some wood from someone's magic staff.

Everyone around me was being beaten so easily by them and I didn't do anything!

"(Y/N)! Stay back! Your staying with us no matter what!" Cried out Luffy as he gasped in pain as they gripped the lasso on him tighter.

"Luffy! No stop it!" I shouted making everything freeze.

I looked around and remebered what happened back at Water 7.

'So your back...!'

'I told you should've went back home your highness, now look at you've done. All your friends will be seriously injuired and it's proabably your own-'

'SHut UP! I KNOW! I'll go, I don't want to see them kill themselves for a liar like me.'

'Very good choice princess, I'll leave now and let you handle this.'

As the figure left. Everything came back to normal speed and timeline as it continued of Luffy still threatening the guards to not get close to me.

"If you touch her, I'll come and punch you all myself!" Cried out Luffy as he still struggled in his binds until he stopped since I put a hand on his shoulder.

"Ah! (Y/N)! Tell them to get us out of these binds-"

"Luffy, I can't let you do this. Please just let me handle this alone." I weakly smiled at him.

His eyes widened in shock and he sttutered, "(Y-Y/N) your not gonna....."

I hugged him as I started saying goodbye to everyone, "Thank you all for still trusting me even though you knew nothing of my past. Please don't think that I'm leaving you all for good. I'll be back! I promise, and Luffy thank you for giving me a place that I can act like the person I wanted to be." I smiled at all of them as they cried out to me,
"(Y/N)!!!"

"DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!! (Y/N) STOP LYING! YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO STAY RIGHT?! SO FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM! DO IT JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH ROBIN BACK AT ENIES LOBBY!" Cried out Luffy as he looked so broken.

"I'm sorry, but I can't fight my fate..."

"(Y/N)!!!!"

~~~

"Let me go! I'm gonna get her!" Cried out Igneel as he tried to break free from Shadow's dark magic. "Igneel stop. You don't wanna bring more pain to
(Y/N)-sama do you?"

He stopped almost immediately hearing your name. "..."

"Those binds made us so weak, I didn't know her country has such strong artillery. But before we do anything else Luffy, we need to know more about the 'Dark Age.'" Said Robin as she mentioned the 'Dark Age' and Luffy stopped walking out of the dining room so he could listen to more of your past, he wanted to understand and know more about you.

"Don't you know anything? Isn't it in books or something?" Asked Zoro to Robin as he crossed his arms.

Robin could only shake her head, "The 'Dark Age' is something only marine admirals and (Y/N)'s kind know everything about. I only know that it was a war between magicians and marines. But I never knew (Y/N) knew about it since she was probably just a baby or just a child." Said Robin.

"I remember (Y/N) talking about her being worried about meeting certain admirals and she got really angry when Aokiji mentioned her mother. She also said that her mother died in 'that' war." Said Usopp as Nami also nodded and added that she heard you saying that maybe Aokiji was there too.

"Not really, it was maybe a war according to some books but it was more of a rescue mission than a war to us magic users. But I guess the government has a good way of hiding the truth."

"Aqua!" Exclaimed the others.

"Sorry I sensed something going on with (Y/N)'s aura so I came to see you guys with Goku but I guess we we're too late." Said the water dragon as he sat down next to Luffy who was grumpy and sad.

"Please tell us everything...." Asked Luffy as his hat was shadowing his eyes.

"Alright cap'"

"It was about 1 decade and a few years ago, we magicians and spirits we're just normal people in this world. Until the humans found out that we can produce magic that can make humanity stronger. Some magicians joined the marines, but it turned hectic when a certain person wanted to have evrything in his grasp. His name was Qrow the King of the Underworld. He was known as the most famous magic user. But when he got his hands on some crystals that can boost his magic power it soon consumed his sanity and he decided to destroy everything and rebuild this world."

"So a guy turned into a psychopath and is trying to rebuild the planet?" Asked Igneel out of the blue as Aqua nodded.

(The reason Igneel is asking is that he didn't know about the war since he was in another planet with dragons. Celestia, Sky and Shadow were also absent since they we're in the spirit world. It was before Celestia or even Igneel became your spirits.)

"Yep. And when he found out that a stone that is the first source of magic can make someone the most powerful being in the world he then searched high and low for it. And eventually found out it was situated in (Y/N)'s kingdom. Because of Qrow's acts we magic users became a threat to all the humans just because we have magic. Even innocent children and woman we're killed just because they're magic users. Some we're used as experiments so the humans can take their magic for weapons. The marines didn't think it was bad to kill innocent people or expirement on them so everytime they meet a magician they pretend like they died from an accident and even tried to do a Buster Call at (Y/N)'s kingdom."

"They did that?!" Cried out Robin as she stood up shock. Aqua nodded and hanged his head low in what about he was to say.

"And they basically tortured children and mothers?!" Said in shock Nami as everyone else got a bit taken aback by that certain part.

"After trying to exterminate they're kind. (Y/N)'s Kingdom decided to end their suffering and tried to rescue the people that we're being experimented on. That's when the 'Dark Age' stared. It was initially a mission to get back their family memebers back home safe and sound but the marines thought it was a war of revenge so they used the weapons that had the power of those who have been tortured against them. It was utterly disgusting. I was in the war with Goku but we we're about 1300 years old." Said Aqua as he looked down when saying his last phrase.

"Aqua...." Said Chopper as he hugged Aqua which he smiled weakly and returned the hug from the tiny doctor.

"Aright this is th finaly part of it. After getting owned by our own magic and our family's aura, Qrow came in and said the truth to those who survived the war. And me, Goku and (Y/N)'s family which we're her father and older brother we're the only ones still standing. She has a sister but she was in a safety chamber with (Y/N)'s twin brother. Qrow then said he will go to the location of the stone that we named the 'Heart of Magic' at (Y/N)'s kingdom! Luffy, Qrow knows (Y/N) is destined to get that magic power since she was chosen to be the next vessel without her knowing! So her going back to her country was a bad idea! We have to do something!"

"Aqua. Where is her country situated?" Asked the captain.

"Wel it's between these two islands. And if we continue this path we'll get there the fastest." He said as he took out his lacrima and made a hollagram to show the crew where is your country.

"Alright, guys we're getting her back. I'm sorry that we're postponing our journey to Fish-Man Island again." Apologized Luffy as he acutally looked sorry for once.

"Don't worry captain! After knowing her past I already wanted to get (Y/N)! And plus we did save Robin from the government so what else could we not face." Laughed Nami as she ans the others nodded at her statement.

"And plus even if you guys we're gonna go to
Fish-Man Island I would leave this crew in order to get (Y/N) back." Said calmly Igneel as he then got hit by Usop, Chopper and Nami.

"YOUR SO RUDE! AT LEAST BE MORE NICE TO US!!"

"Alright! Time to save (Y/N)!!!"

"Aye aye!"
