chapter one

-

seira followed the ship for a bit. she couldn’t catch up fast enough since she had to make sure he stayed over the water so she trailed to not lose the ship. she saw the boat hit the end of the island harshly stopping it. she moved towards the end of the island where a beach was and pulled him to the sand laying him down. that’s when she really looked at him.

she moved her head to his chest to see if he was breathing. she could feel the water in places it’s not disposed to be with her water powers and moved her hand to his chest. she moved her hand to pull the water out his lungs and he coughed a breath now being able to breathe clearly. she got ready to move back but she saw he didn’t get up up. he was still unconscious. she moved closer and moved the hair out his face. she studied everything about him, the closest she ever got to a human let alone a boy.

she felt too many things. she thought he was beautiful, but she was also envious. he lived above everyday. and angry. the fact that she’ll never be able to know him, know who he was.

she felt her tune move and had to sing her siren song.

“what would i give to live where you are?” she moved her hand down his face singing softly.

“what would i pay to stay here beside you?”

“what would i do to see you smiling at me?” she let out a small smile as his hand moved to his chest, “where would we walk? where would we run? if we could stay all day in the sun, just you and me, and i could be part of your world.”

before she could say goodbye to the man who can’t do the same she heard something coming from the ship. she looked at him one more time before going back to sea.

she saw the people from the ship surround him as they spotted him expressing joy for their friend.

she turned and watched them carry him to their ship with him still unconscious as she sat on a rock to look at them better.

her realizing she had to back she couldn’t help but be excited for her adventure.

“i don't know when, i don't know how. but i know something's starting right now. watch and you'll see, someday i’ll be, part of your world.” she moved up the rock as the wave hit it. she knew now, she couldn’t just live her life the way her dad saw. her life is up here, and she knew just how to get it.

seira swam back to her cave to on a mission. she’s been looking for this recently but she needed it now. when she got back to her cave she saw poki waiting for her. when she saw, her eyes widened and she swam up to her, “oh my! you went to the surface. this is bad! you broke the law!”

seira ignored her and moved to look for something. poki relizing she wasn’t thing heard slowly trailed off, “and what are you doing?”

seira didn’t stop her movements, “when i saw that island the pirates stopped at, it looked familiar.” she got a paper and carefully unraveled it. she figured out paper doesn’t do well in water so she’s carful with all her scrolls. she sat it on a rock surface and her and poki looked at the paper. it was a map, and seira was correct, it was the same island she swam the boy to.

“okay, what so special about the island?” poki asked.

seira grabbed the scroll and her bag and went to move out the cage, “it’s going to give me legs.”

she saw out and poki nodded for second then her eyes widened in realization, “wait- legs?”

she followed her and seira swam quickly back to the island.

“yes, legs.” seira explained, “the island was created by mermaids, back when they used to go to the surface. the map says i have to look for a fruit or a rock. the fruit will give me legs permanently and the rock, if i listen to the conditions, it’ll be temporary. hopefully i find the fruit.”

poki stopped, “wait, your going to the surface world permanently? what about your dad, sisters, what about-what about me?” poki spoke softly.

seira stopped swimming at her voice. she sighed and looked at her, “i’ll miss all of you, i will. but i don’t think i belong here. and if it’s not at all what i thought…i’m willing to take the risk. this is for me.”

seira continued to swim and poki thought about it. of course she wants her friend to happy, and this is all she ever talked about. she sighed and continued following her.

the five mates walked thought the strange island. there was nobody on it but it looked amazing. everything was green, fresh fruits and veggies grew throughout the plants and trees, there was animals around. there was fresh water, basically everything somebody would ever need was on the island but it looked like nobody was on it.

usopp spoke looking around as they all walked, “this island is amazing! why isn’t it on your map though nami?”

nami sighed and spoke, “i don’t know. i never heard of it before. i wish we could find somebody but it looks to be no signs of life’s currently living here. it’s weird considering it looks like the best option lace to live. food and water. you think a pirate would have already discovered this place.” she spoke looking around in suspicion.

“speaking of food, when are we eating?” luffy whined to sanji.

“whenever we get back.”

“zoro got lost at sea, maybe we should rest for another day!”

zoro not paying attention to the convo looked around. he could’ve sworn there was a girl. he heard her voice, and he could never admit but he can’t get it out of his head. could he have imagined it, all the salt water could’ve gotten to him. if there’s nobody living on this island there couldn’t have been a girl.

“zoro!” the crew yelled to get his attention.

he turned to them and usopp asked, “you’ve been out of it since we found you on the beach? what happened?”

zoro sighed and decided to tell them, “somebody saved me.”

nami sighed, “yeah we figured that. but there’s nobody on the island.”

zoro scoffed, “i know that, which is why i’m confused. you guys didn’t see anybody before you got me?”

sanji sighed inhaling his joint, “nope. just you.”

zoro sighed, “whatever, let’s keep moving. you get what you need for the sail then we’ll be out of here!”

seira and poki swam too the island. she didn’t go in surface because the map leads under water, “okay it says there should be an entrance somewhere.”

“okay but an entrance where. you don’t have legs so-" poki got cut off by seira.

“yeah, i know.” she snapped as she continued swimming.

they dodged a few rocks before she saw light on a path. she moved towards there and saw a cave it looks like. she moved under the surface and looked around. she saw poki peak out too.

it was a cave.

and the place she was a a pool right in the middle. it wasn’t empty, either. there was a few chest around the area. and there were two different entrances. the map led her here, she assumed the chest would help with that.

seira looked at everything, “everything is old. this stuff hasn’t been used in years, nobody lives here.”

“how would you know that?” poki asked wondering. all human things looked the same to her.

“i seen pictures of items, used items don’t have dust on them.” seira explained, she could be a little observant, “i need that chest.” she pointed to the one in the middle, “it has the same crest on the map.”

“are you going to crawl over there!” poki asked sarcastically.

seira rolled her eyes then got out her hands and took a breath, “i got this.”

she moved her hand in water motions like it was was explained on something she read back home. she focused on getting water up. slowly but surely a line of water rised from the pool between the two. once she thought it was big enough she focused on moving it towards the chest.

she stuck the end to the chest then pulled it back with the chest moving with it. when it was at the end of the pool she sighed happily and swam towards it.

“how did you do that? you’ve been practicing the water touch?” poki questioned amazed.

“not to much, it feels stronger on the surface.” she shrugged.

she looked at the chest and seen no lock, “there’s no lock?”

“hurry and open it so we can go back down!” poki said scared.

she rolled her eyes funnily and opened it. there were a couple things to skip over but she saw a few blue scroll with silver lining so she assumed they’re important and picked one up.

she opened it to find her home writing from when they used to communicate with the surface, “it’s our writing. finally! something i can read!” she expressed her joy.

they both turned to sounds coming from down one of the entrances.

poki looked to seira, “i thought nobody been here since forever?”

“i think the pirates are snooping.” she turned and grabbed every single blue scroll in the chest. they’re from her home so she knows they’ll survive underwater.

poki pressured, “hurry! let’s go.”

she closed the chest and before the pirates could come in she lifted water quickly and push it full force to move the chest back. as it pushed and she and poki moved underwater as the pirates walked in the cave.

poki let out a sigh, “that was close!”

seira moved towards the edge where they wouldn’t see her and before she turned she got a glimpse of green hair in her reflection. she stared at him not expecting to see him again so soon.

she looked and paused before she turned her tail and swam away, the sooner she gets this done the better.

PART OF YOUR WORLD. - CHAPTER ONE

summary: seira is a mermaid and every since she could, she always dreamed of being on the surface. her father told her all about humans and pirates how they’re horrible and better off under until she gets too close to a pirate ship and is lead by determination to be part of their world.

warnings: none for now i think

note: first post i’m so excited. this takes place in the east blue after they take down the fishmen and nami in with them. had this idea rewatching so now i have too. it’s like a little story in between in showing how seira (my oc) joined the crew. this is the animated series by the way.

—-

seira let out a giggle. pirates and their shipwrecks were sometimes brutal but she got amazing surface items. she looked around at the outside of the ship making sure she didn’t see anything swimming around, she moved to the wrecked ship looking through the opening.

before she could move in she was stopped by voice, “seira!”

she snapped and turned to see her friend poki rushing towards her using all eight legs to rush towards her, “be quiet, poki! we don’t want to attract attention.”

poki scoffed, “yeah, because a mermaid being by a PIRATE ship won’t be attention seeking.”

“how do you know it’s a pirate ship?” poki just glanced right behind d her bordly and seira turned to see their flag which consisted of a pirate hat coincidentally, “oh.”

“you would think the chiefs daughter would know that it’s forbidden to be this close to a ship wreck, let alone a pirate ship. you have to get ready for your sister’s send off.”

“she only moving two sea’s over. i doubt i’ll be missed.” she moved to the boat.

“your dad already thinks i’m the reason you get away with all this. please come so he doesn’t banish me or my mom.” poki complained. her mom is a cook at the palace which is how they both met.

“please, not even my dad would say goodbye to your mom’s food. but sure, i’ll come.”

poki then started leaving and seira took one last look at the ship before turning and following after her.

she never promised she wouldn’t come back later.

seira came back with her bag with all her new findings in it. she had a big smile on her face. she couldn’t help but keep a smile on her face. she entered her rock and stopped when she saw poki in the middle of the room.

“you went back to the ship didn’t you?”

seira just swam past her to the top where there was open space, “hey, i went to her send off. she’s on her way to be queen of whatever. said hi to all the people, i never said i wouldn’t go back.”

“your dad is going to be so angry.” poki whimpered. nobody liked the chief angry.

“my dad isn’t going to find out. and i’m tired of his vendetta with the surface people.” she looked up at the circle lighting up her cave, “there’s a whole world we don’t know up there.”

“we know there’s pirates up there. there’s some down here too if you didn’t remember.”

“it isn’t fair.” she fumed swimming around angrily, “everybody under 18 has never even been to the surface.”

“your dad wants to keep every body safe. a pirate did kill your-“ she stopped not wanting to bring up bad memories for her.

“it’s okay i never knew her." she softly sat down.

“it’s just my dad will never understand. i’m almost 20 and i never seen the sun. felt the heat.” she closed her eyes imagining how it would feel.

“i just don’t see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be so bad.” she said picking up an item. she didn’t know what it was but she loved it.

after seira saw a big ship go pass blocking her sun for a second. her face hardened. this is her one chance. to see the sun. to follow a ship that hasn’t been wrecked. now.

she immediately started swimming. poki looked shocked and yelled, “seira!”

she didn’t listen, she continued. she almost regretted it and stopped but she knew she needed to do this. she saw the light on their ship getting closer. she saw the water start to end she lifted her hand wanted to feel herself leave the sea below. that’s when she felt it. something hitting her face. she opened her eyes to around her where she felt something still on her face. almost like a current but not. she took a breath, it was different than water but she could still breath. this must be what humans call air.

she then remembered why she came to the surface and turned to see the ship started to leave her. she took a breath then moved back underwater to follow it quicker.

she then made it to the ship, she was shocked at how big it was when it was actually in motion. humans do live on them. she almost hesitated when she saw it was a pirate ship but then she heard laughing. she couldn’t help herself but to climb on the small boat attached to the side.

she got on the side as good as she could with her tail and looked on the boat. there wasn’t too many humans but this is a her first time ever seeing one. she looked at everyone of them closely. they were all men minus one woman. they looked so different from one another but she assumed they could be family.

their hair was flowing through the breeze of the air, one was doing something in his mouth. is that fire that she read about? but suddenly her eyes stopped at one person. the green haired boy who was leaning on something with his arms behind his head with his eyes closed. seira looked him over. he had on a blue shirt with his buttons opened. he had a sword next to him which seira assumed were big knives.

he had wraps around his torso, which means he might’ve gotten hurt. seira couldn’t help but notice his arms either. nobody around him had arms as big as those so he had to be the captain of the ship. her dad say’s the biggest pirate is usually the captain.

but this boy doesn’t look nearly as dangerous as her dad say’s. yes they might be pirates, but the group is laughing together, smiling, eating. they might just be friends.

“so nami, now that your officially with us where too exactly?”

“well don’t we need a doctor or musician like you said?”

musician.

so they do have those here. her culture was very rooted by music with all her people having siren songs. but they also sing every chance they get. every event. people on the street. every time somebody’s born and every time somebody dies there’s a song to be sang.

“i guess.” he said unsure.

“great, our captain doesn’t know our next move.” the yellow hair boy who is eating the fire spoke. so fire is safe to eat?

nami sighed, “let’s talk tomorrow. it’s getting too dark. i checked and there’s a island not to far from here. we could get a couple things before running around.”

forgetting their conversation she looked back over at the green hair boy still in his position who didn’t even move at everybody around his him raising his voice.

she was interrupted by the boat moving harshly. she let out a small gasp and usopp who was closest to that part snapped his head right before seira ducked her head to hide. she covered her mouth i. fear in making another noise. usopp looked for a couple seconds before he turned back to his friends.

the boat moved harshly again which caused them to look at where the ship was going and seira couldn’t help but look wide eyed. they were going into a storm.

seira heard them yelling, “nami, you navigated us into a storm!”

“that isn’t supposed to be here.”

“well you were wrong.”

“shut up!” a voice she haven’t heard. she looked at see the green haired boy who was now up, “we just have to get through it, we can’t turn the ship around anymore. get ready!”

seira knew she didn’t know about the storm because her dad made it. not exactly, but he prays to the sea spirits to sink boats who move by their empire, a lot. she knows they listen to him sometimes.

this whole situation became a disaster. when things started flying off the ship she quickly made her leave and jumped off the boat and back into the water.

seira looked at the boat from underwater scared at the end result. she didn't want another boat wreck.

it got worse and worse and seira didn't know how to help. she also had water control powers from her mom, but wasn't the best. and she doubt she would be able to control this much water around a whole ship in the middle of a storm.

zoro on the the surface made sure the crew were safe. in the process he managed to get booted of the surface. the crew yelled for him but were quickly knocked out by the last wave of the storm hitting the ship, slamming them into things effectively knocking them out.

she saw the ship move out of the storm but saw something fall into the water in the process. she saw it slowly fall as the ship left but didn't know what it was but swam towards it anyway. when she saw the green she knew it was the boy. she sped up towards him and grabbed arm and pulled him to the surface. she knew humans couldn't breath underwater.

when she got him there she made sure his mouth and nose were out so he could breath. she looked at his face, never had she been this close to a human. she slowly swam backwards towards the shop still holding him up looking at his face.

he's beautiful, she thought.
