One Piece

A Love Developed through Time

Chapter One

Birth of Gol. D. Katharine

30 years ago before Monkey D. Luffy's adventure even began and before Gol. D. Roger became known as Pirate King.

A child was born that would become the key to the One Piece.

30 years ago in Loguetown, the sister of Gol. D. Roger, just gave birth to her only child. A baby girl.

It was a dark and stormy day.

~Loguetown~

"Where is she?" the man said as he ran into the house, soaking wet from the rain. An elderly woman stood up from her chair and said "Your sister is upstairs with the baby."

"Thank You." he said and was about to go upstairs, when the old woman yelled "Wait, Roger!"

He looked at her annoyed "What?"

The elderly woman took in a deep breath and said "Your sister won't survive through the night. What will you do with the baby?"

Roger looked at the elderly woman and said "I'll take the baby with me."

The elderly woman laughed and said "You really are a stupid boy! How can you take care of a baby, when you're out there being a pirate?"

"I promised my sister if anything happened to her. I would protect and watch over her child." he said. Then, he went upstairs to talk with his elder sister before it was to late.

Roger opened the door to his sister's room. In the room a young woman by in her bed cradling her new born daughter.

"Hey, sis. How ya feelin'?" he smiled at her sitting in the chair next to the bed.

"I'm fine, but she is a handful. She won't go to sleep." she said closing her lime-green eyes as she spoke. She handed her daughter to her brother and laid back on the bed. Roger looked down at the baby and noticed the baby girl has her mother's eyes. Beautiful bright lime-green eyes.

"She has your eyes." Roger said. He looked at his sister who was laying in the bed. She seemed to be sleeping.

"Trinity?" calling his sisters name. She opened her eyes slowly and smiled and said "Katharine"

He looked at her confused "huh?"

She laughed and then coughed up blood and said "Her name is Katharine. Please take care of her." Then, she closed her eyes again and breathed in and out.

The baby flew asleep in her uncle's arms. He looked at the baby and then, looked at his sister. She was no longer breathing. Roger got up from his chair and took the baby girl with him down stairs. The elderly woman from last night got up from her chair noticing Roger coming down the stairs.

"Did she go peacefully?" The elderly woman asked.

Roger laughed and said "Yes, with her bright smile on her face."

The old woman looked at the baby in his arms and asked "Are you taking her with you?"

"Of Course." Roger said and walked out of the house, taking with him, Gol. D. Katharine.
