Chapter 1: Breathe into Life

This story begins in an experiment lab on a winter island with scientists dressed in pale cyan lab coats indulged in studying a particular case. A group of 5 scientists, including Dr. Vegapunk, stood in front of a large tank filled with puce-colored water as they discussed about the powers they've found of their case subject.

"Sentomaru is here to pick me to update about our new experiment, 082, to the World Government," says Dr. Vegapunk. "I expect all procedures to be carried out with more precision and care. Understood?"

The other 4 scientists nodded in unison. "We won't disappoint you doctor."

After shutting his briefcase Vegapunk finally made his way towards the door. "Very well," with his last words he left the lab.

The remaining scientists resume working as a few approached the experiment tank in one of the restricted stations – also known as station 82.

"I heard she used to be in the marine…"

"Shhh… do you want to be demoted only after being promoted to handle this restricted case?"

"Sorry, but I'm so confused, isn't she his daughter?"

"Will you be quiet about all this irrelevant chitter-chatter?!"

Their voices resounded back into the experiment tank through the glass wall. 'Wh-what is this?'

Experiment 082, indeed, is a girl. She has long dark purple hair that reached her waist and her bangs cupped her forehead. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, revealing her glowing lavender eyes. Bubbled formed at brim of her lips and submerged to the surface, as did many other bubbles. The water was light and didn't pressure her like one would expect when underwater. In the puce-colored water, she was able to breathe.

The purple head turned her face side by side to see that she was chained all over. Her two hands were chained; her neck was chained; her feet here chained too. She floated in the water, shocked and frightened.

"She's awake!" yelled a confused scientist when he tried to steal a glimpse of her face.

The glass wall of the tank facing her viewers started to crack as she face turned into one that of anger.

Other scientists who weren't allowed in this restricted station also ran in to aid the private experiment 082 scientists. "What do we do?! This is one of Dr. Vegapunk's most avid experiment!"

Finally she broke free of her prison and landed lightly in the empty tank as the water washed out with the broken pieces of glass. Her wet hair landed on her back. She dons a gray nylon whole-body suit. She brought her hands close to her stomach and instinctually she was able to break free of the chains.

The scientists stood frozen and watched her helpless and amazedly. None of them knew what to do.

She took a few steps to the border, outside of the tank and before hopping out of it she looked at what was written on it – Experiment 082.

"Ha-ha-ni," she tried to enunciate it. Then her attention went back to the scientists that watched her without moving an inch. Her confused stare turn into a deathly glare and a tornado engulfed her body. Only then the scientists began to run away.

The tornado began to grow larger and it whirled the scientists to the center then thrust them towards the wall. She didn't stop and continued on outside the restricted section. Her wind broke every experiment tank that was in her way and the collision of the mess of this storm created explosions. Her wind only made it worse and the fire grew larger and larger. She stopped in her track and looked for an escape out of the mess she's made. She looked above and raised her left arm and her tornado flew up and created an opening in the ceiling. The tornado carried her up and out of the lab.

'Why am I crying…?'

She jumped off the roof and ran to an open field. Under the bright lunar moon she ran and ran as far as her legs would carry. She closed her eyes as tears leaked out of her closed eyelids. She was frightened. She ran and ran but didn't know where she was running to and didn't have anywhere to run to too.

She didn't know how long it has been since she escaped from the lab but she hasn't stop running at all. Suddenly her feet felt cold as she reached to the shores and she was running towards the waves. Only when the water came up to her thighs did she realize the effect of the ocean on her.

She opened her eyes and find the ocean to be there to greet her. She was so scared she didn't dare to make a sound but her frustration washed over her and she started to scream out towards the empty sky.

The purple haired girl closed her eyes again as her eyes burn and more tears streaked down her cheeks. Suddenly she felt a pair of hands yank her towards a warm and hard surface.

"Miss, sorry but can you please stop crying?"

Her face was in his chest when she opened her eyes so she pushed herself away from him and lifted her gaze to meet his. He was wearing an orange hat with dark brown pants and a scarlet bead embracing his neck. She looked at him curiously.

"You don't have to wake the whole ocean up," he kidded. "The rest of us could only sleep at this time of the night."

"…" She didn't know what to say and she doesn't remember the last time she was in a conversation with anyone.

"Whoa whoa, what's wrong?" asked Ace, astonished by her tear-stained face and when she looked like she wanted to say something but nothing came out. "…Can you speak?" But that couldn't be it, he thought to himself. She was shouting perfectly fine before he interrupted.

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything," he tried again with his hands still on her shoulders.

Still, not a single word escaped her lips.

Then in one single swoosh she collapsed and fell into his arms. Within a swift moment he caught her. With his own confused look, he had no idea where to send her.

…

The next thing she knew she was on a soft object. She felt warmth on her eyes and she slowly opened them. Her eyes squinted to adjust to the bright sunlight to the best of its ability. She graced a sincere smile as her body lifted itself to feel the sun wash her body. It felt as if it had been 1000 years since she had felt and met sunlight.

She gazed around the room with a curious look pasted on her face and her eyes stopped on the figure of the man she met last night. He was asleep next to her and she had been using his naked back as a pillow. Her face heated up for a slight moment and she started to stare at him sleep.

She enjoyed the look of his pure carefree, joyful sleep. She wishes that one day she'd be able to sleep as light as he can right now.

His body shifted and his chest faced up and his back now lies against the ground. Suddenly his eyes darted open and the first thing he saw was her big lavender eyes close to his face. The two gawked at each other with their eyes inches apart until they both jump back a meter. "Ah!" Both of them yelled.

"Sorry to startle you," being the gentleman he's always been Ace apologized softly. "Good to see you're awake and lively," he said as he wiped his face to clear away the drowsiness.

She nodded, feeling a little intimidated.

"I know it's very awkward to wake up with a stranger next to you on a beach but I'm a pirate so either this or my tiny boat."

Only when he said it she noticed where they had been sleeping the whole time. Both of them were on big dried banana leaves surrounded by huge boulders. She heard the waves crash the shore and it sounded different from last night. The waves from last night sounded hard and heavy whereas the waves she's hearing right now sounded like harmonious and peaceful.

"I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last night, my name is Ace," he stared straight into her eyes which she stared back.

She blinks.

He blinks.

"You don't need to tell me." He reached into his pocket and took out a cake in multiple layers of wrapping. "Want some? It's honeycomb cake."

"Hani."

He looked at her confusedly.

"Ha-ni." She told him.

"Are you trying to tell me your name is Honey?"

She nodded enthusiastically, biting her smiling lower lip.

"It's a nice name." He said with a smile. "Say, where do you want me to drop you off?" He asked casually and her happy face abruptly looked horrified.

"What's wrong?" He exclaimed worriedly.

She shook her head. "I… duh..ohn… have."

"What was that?"

"I don't have." She grabbed his hands. "Don't leave me!" She said naturally as if these were the only words she knew.

He scratched the back of his neck. "I suppose you could say with me until you find a place of your own."

Her face brightened up and she jumped on him and hugged around his neck.

"In these cases, you say thank you."

"I know, thank you." She started to remember how to talk properly again.

"Let's go into town and get breakfast," he stood up and gave her a hand. She took it with a curious look on her face and stood up next to him.

…

While walking down the streets, Honey tugged along side Ace, never letting go of his arm. Everyone that passed them stared at her and whispered to each other. The crowd got bigger as they were into the flea market.

"Hey, could that be…?" "I heard ….explode…" "Mommy mommy, she looks weird." "That tattoo!" "A pirate…" "Weird purple hair… looks familiar…" "Is she a pirate too?"

First Ace thought they were reacting the way they were because of his reputation as a Whitebeard pirate. It's only been a while since he had officially joined them so he wasn't used to flashing his tattoo around yet. But he is damn proud to wear it out loud.

They passed a man selling many mirrors and saw that a few girls were pointing at Honey's weird fashion. He stopped abruptly, causing a flustered Honey to bump face first into his back. She looked up at him confusedly with a slightly frightened face. She wasn't used to being around a crowd yet.

"We need to get you a pair of new clothes," he told her and grabbed the nearest clothes he found in the first shop he sees in the flea market.

After paying a few beri for it he took her into an alley and made sure nobody was in there. He stood watch at the entrance of the one-way and alley. Without turning back he said, "Change into them."

Honey looked at him, baffled. Then she remembers seeing girls try on jackets in the flea market.

"First you take that suit off first," he told her over his shoulders before feeling a tap on his arms. He turn to face her and found that she's already changed into it and had her old suit in her arm.

The white shirt with a black spade on it was too small for her and showed her curves too much. And her body was petite and curvaceous so he worries they're going to attract attention again.

"Hold this higher up to here," he lifted his arm and bent them in 90 degrees into his chest. She did the same and her suit covered her chest area perfectly. "There." He smiled and placed a protective arm over her shoulder and went into a diner.

She pulled on her black shorts after settling in their seats. He noticed that it was too tight and short again. At least the boots fit her well, he thought to himself.

After eating mountain full of food, Ace took her hand in his and within a flash ran out of the diner. They had already capture attention in the diner for being the two with the most weird eating habit and the most ordered table. The waitresses were already worried if they could pay or not and now they 'dine and dash'.

It didn't take a while to cut loose of the angry diner owner and waitresses chasing after them. They hid on top of the diner's own rooftop until the chasers calmed and went back.

"I think it's time to say goodbye," Ace said after getting further away from the diner and the town. "I have to go back."

Honey shook her head with tear filled eyes. "I don't have anyone but you." She bit her lips as she tried to hold her tears back.

Ace didn't know what to do. "I'm a pirate. You know what that means?"

She shook her head again.

"It's not safe to be with me. Besides I don't really have any reason to take you with me."

Her grasp on his arm tightened. "I don't want to be alone."

"You know most normal pirates would just sell you off."

She still didn't let to.

"And my boat is fit only for one person."

"It's okay I can fly." First Ace thought she was kidding until she let go of him and used her powers to keep herself afloat in midair.

"You're a logia-eater." Honey didn't know what he meant but just stared at him persistently.

He raised his hands in defeat. "Okay you got me. I can't guarantee anything but I'll take you to the ship."

Honey's face finally lit up again as she jumped in celebration. They walked back to the beach and towards Ace's fire-powered boat. He carried her bridal-style and hopped in it. He fixed her arms around his neck and tucks her nylon suit between their bodies so it doesn't fly off.

The Moby Dick was far from where they were so he easily found it with the help of a vivre card of Thatch.

…

"Oi! Ace on starboard!" Thatch yelled as he jumped off the railings. "And he's brought back a gal."

Ace climbed up the ladder his nakamas dropped along with teaching Honey to do the same.

"Ace did you bring back home a lady? You old tramp!" teased Thatch.

"And I thought you had purple extensions!" Vista joined in chortled.

"So who's the chick?" Marco chimed in.

"Haha guys, very funny." Ace replied sarcastically. "I met her on the way back. Her name is Honey and she is lost… and I think she got out of a really bad accident." He paused to see all of their reactions. Seeing they're all very absorbed in the current situation he went on. "So be nice to her and don't scare her off with your personalities. I'm going to go to Pops." Ace left hurriedly.

"What do you mean scare her off with our personalities?!" Vista asked in a joking angry voice.

Marco was the first to approach her. She was looking around the ship so interestedly. "So how long will you be staying with us?" Startled by his approach she jumped off an inch behind.

"Stop scaring her," Haruta walked up the stairs to where they were. "Ace was right."

"Yeah, leave her to me," Kori jumped down from the railings where she and Thatch had been sitting together. "She can easily squeeze into the room Rhoda and I share."

Honey smiled at the ladies of the crew. "Honey," Kori said trying to be sweet and sisterly, without knowing her name is honey. "My name is Kori and this is Haruta. That pineapple head is my commander, Marco," Kori said shifting her body and pointed towards at Marco. "That one is Vista and that is Thatch."

"We'll introduce you to the rest of the crew by lunch," Haruta placed an assuring hand on her shoulders.

…

Kori took her into her room and introduced her to Rhoda - her roommate. Then lunchtime rolls by and the whole crew went up to the decks to each together. Kori and Rhoda introduced her to everyone present at the decks. Honey had a hard time remembering them at first but later got used to all of them in the years to come.

"So you are Honey," Whitebeard said when Ace took her to where his father sits with his pink nurses. The old captain lift her up smiled. "A new addition to our family."

Honey smiled at his kind words that she shed tears of joy. Whitebeard started to laugh happily and honey cry-laughed and soon the whole shipping was laughing along with them.
