I've always wanted to write a One Piece Fic....so here goes...

Day 1

I'm writing this because I'm bored and have nothing to do in my free time. I found this old beat up diary in the kitchens and since no one seems to want it, I might as well put to some use.

I'm Edward Newgate. I'm eighteen and I'm a pirate. I'm the cabin boy of the Nautica Pirates. Our ship is the Free Willy and our captain is Davy Jones. Apparently that's his real name. He's got a bounty of eighty-nine million berri on his head and apparently has some sort of Devil Fruit power which I don't know about and the others won't tell me.

Anyway, I ran away from home some eight months ago. My parents were fighting and it got really bad. I couldn't take it anymore and did something I shouldn't have. Anyway, I had to get out of there before the marines could get me.

I stole a fisherman's boat and sailed east. There were plenty of fish on the boat so I ate well for the first few days until some of them began to go bad. I had to fish for myself from that point onward and I did alright until I nabbed a damn Sea King. Smashed up my boat real bad and got me pretty good too. I managed to kill it by pure luck when I swung the boat's mast right through its throat.

Anyway, I spend the next few days drifting until I ran into the Nautica Pirates. They took me in and made me their cabin boy. Huh, beats dying.

They call me old kid 'cause I got a short white moustache. I just don't get that. The colour's way off from my hair and makes me a lot older than I am and it doesn't help that I'm bigger than most of the other guys.

But for pirates, they were real nice, except when they boss me around on deck. But I owe them my life, so it's a small thing.

I guess that's all I'll right for now, 'cause I just couldn't think what else to write other than the fact that I'm a pirate now and that there's no turning back for me.

Oh yeah, even though I listed this entry as Day 1, I've actually been on this ship for nearly three weeks. I wonder if I'll ever bother to write Day 2.

So what you guys think?
