"Maris! I explored around yesterday and found some weird kid! He didn't notice me but he was looking all mean and didn't respond when I tried to talk to him!" Luffy complained, I was continuing on working on the concentration effect of my Haki, it appeared that the sudden boost from yesterday greatly improved... the Domain.

The Domain is directly proportionate to my Haki, by that I mean the stronger my Haki is, the easier it will be to train in here and in turn the stronger I'll be able to make my concentration effect whenever I use Busoshoku Haki. It's a win-win situation! Luffy also trains faster as well!

"A kid? Was he carrying a pipe?" I questioned Luffy, I had finished improving the concentration effect for the day, my Busoshoku is... well let's just say I don't think Garp stands a chance at this point.

"Yeah! He ignored me!" I suppose Luffy encountered Ace, which is beneficial. I can finally get started on progressing the story more!

"Don't worry, Luffy! Leave it to your sister to deal with them!" Why... why did I say such an embarrassing thing? I know my emotions somehow unlocked upon discovering I was born again as Maris instead of Luffy, but I think I accepted being apart of the family too easily. I know the only memories I have aren't that detailed on my life, but this is still moving on from those too quickly!

"Maris!" I spoke my name with the thought of leaving the Domain.

----------------------------------------

It's time to begin the hunt! Considering the fact that Luffy would usually be chasing after Ace at this point, I think I changed the story dramatically, also considering the fact that I've been training with Garp for three months, I do think I've considerably improved and even Luffy got a lot of experience, well when he chose to watch instead of train. I've even managed to formulate a style based entirely on Haki, thanks to all the focus on it I've gotten used to controlling it and even using different methods with it.

Now, if I focus on Kenbunshoku Haki... there! I've managed to locate Ace's presence, it's easily distinguishable due to the Haoshoku Haki. I suppose I've got to head to where he is!

I traversed through the forest, it wasn't long until I ended back at the path where Garp was dragging me to head to Dadan before I interrupted and ended up being personally trained by him. It wasn't that long of a run and compared to using amounts of Haki which make you faint within a few minutes, it wasn't even tiring. After making my way deeper into the forest, I eventually came across the little hut where the so called Dadan and other bandits lived. Right now, they were not important, so I could leave them out of the entire thing.

Behind me, higher from my current placement was where the presence of where Ace was located. I took the path which was set out, there wasn't much danger apart from the odd animal, this would've been more difficult if I had not attacked Garp. The reason is simple, Luffy tried to follow Ace multiple times and Ace repeatedly destroyed the path leading up to the area known as the 'Grey Terminal' and took more secret and difficult routes to get to the top.

The Grey Terminal itself isn't a nice place, it's supposed to smell horrible and is a lawless place where the outlaws of the Goa Kingdom live. A lot goes on there and it eventually is burnt down, however it still persists after that and the lawless terminal still stays as it is.

After I had managed to reach the top, I see that it truly was not a pleasant place to live. The smell was like rotting corpses, it looked like an entire amusement park of absolute rubbish! Ah well, I suppose that the random shouts of someone being murdered and theft or something else which was criminal are irrelevant. I need to find Ace!

From the use of Kenbunshoku Haki I followed along the the heaps of trash and made my way into yet... another forest. I suppose the Grey Terminal is just an excavated area where the nobles do dump trash, so it's reasonable.

I had made my into the forest, the presence of Ace was definitely growing stronger and eventually, I did find him!

"It's been five years since we started saving, it's been tough going!" The voice definitely matched that of Sabo, the eventual chief of staff for the revolutionary army. "I wonder how much it takes to buy a ship!"

I had just entered the area, but even so I could see their little hatch for saving money without Haki. Seriously, that's a terrible place to hide it.

"Ten million, maybe a hundred million, we still have a long way to go." And that is Ace! I managed to get under the tree and get a look at their appearances. Sabo definitely looked abnormal in terms of people in the Grey Terminal, however Ace looked... cute. Wait, did I just say cute? What? Why did that word come to my head? Is it hormones? No, it shouldn't be! Is it because I'm just a child? Is this what someone would call a child's crush? Damn it, I completely muddled up my thoughts. "Shut it, someone might see."

"Hey, are you guys going to buy a pirate ship? You're going to become pirates? So am I" Well, even if they have no idea who I am, I might as well try to forward the story! In the end, I had to let myself be tied up. It's simply the action they took, however I ended up with similar yet different questions.

"Who are you?" Sabo questioned me, he held a pipe in a threatening way.

"I'm Luffy!" Well, I'm in Luffy's body, so in some way it's right. However, when the next question was posed, that was the issue.

"What are you doing here?" It was asked by Ace this time, upon hearing his voice it was like the child inside of me just screamed themselves into submission. I don't know how this is happening, or why it's happening. Actually, considering the situation, I am going to prevent the brother bonding rite!

...

Did I really just say that because I wanted to end up with Ace and not make it weird? I don't even have a physical body and I'm sure Luffy wants some say in his body's use.

What the hell is wrong with me? This entire thing has thrown me off course, I have got to respond!

"I stumbled in here. Oh, will you join my crew? I want to be a pirate as well!" Well, I've got to get my head back into the game, this random episode of emotions really has thrown me off.

"Well, he knows our secret, if we leave him alone he'll tell someone." Oh, this is where Sabo and Ace...

"Let's kill him." Ace suggested.

"Yeah, let's do it." Sabo agreed.

"HEY! THAT'S RUDE!" I shouted at them, although I don't think manners are their priority at this moment. Well, the actual reason I shouted was to attract the attention of the lucky passerby!

"I heard voices from the forest... sounds like kids!" There we go! It appears that the pirates from whom Ace has stolen treasure from are finally arriving!

"Crap, someone's coming!" Sabo pointed out.

"Quick, let's get away!" Wait, they're not untying me, why is that? Aren't they suppose to untie me so that I can hide along with them? I suppose I've got to actually fill in the gaps that were caused by my fight with Garp.

"Hey, what about me? If you leave me here I might just tell them about your treasure..." a little bit of extortion never hurt anyone.

"Fine! Untie him!" After they had unwillingly untied me, we had to hide behind some bushes, meanwhile the legendary... actually the pretty ordinary pirate who tortures Luffy! Porshemi! I for some reason have a real big urge to beat him up... such a thing hasn't happened.

I suppose this is what I was lacking originally... personality. I'm slowly re-developing a personality upon discovering that I was born as Maris is my current theory. It explains the sudden surge of emotions, like the infatuation with Ace and the sudden desire to beat up Porshemi... perhaps that's just because I'm Luffy's sister and knowledge that he's been beaten up by him is pissing off. By that I guess I have kind of the protective attitude in my prior life.

"Hey, you two... I have a slight request." We all were hiding below the bushes, waiting for the pirates to distract themselves. I suppose I could progress the story how Luffy did, but that doesn't suit my personality whatsoever, so I'm going to try and cut corners here. "Can I hang around you two if I beat up those guys? You see... I am currently being busied by my Grandpa and I currently have no one who I can hang around, my Grandpa always ends up leaving me alone in some dangerous place and I end up being all alone. So... could I maybe hang around you guys?"

They did respond with funny looks.

"If you can go up and beat all of them right now, then we'll let you be our friend!" Sabo mockingly said, however I take that upon me as a challenge! It's time to attack! I stood up and discretely walked out of the bushes, both Ace and Sabo did think of me as insane, however I have something I want to try out!

"Busoshoku: Kōtetsu-shin(Colour of Armaments: Steel God)!" Although it looked like nothing has happened, in reality I have some invisible Busoshoku on my entire body while my skeletal system is also covered in some invisible Busoshoku Haki. I would try hardening one of them, but it becomes too exhausting! So, I settled for just invisible Haki on both, it is essentially my version of Gear Third. It may seem odd to just jump to Gear Third, but that's simply because the entire concept of Steel God is similar to Gear Third. I have already made plans for the Gear Second of my style and trust me, even if it takes after the second one, it's probably the most powerful one at this point... similarly I can't use it easily because the entire concept is too difficult for my stamina. I would faint on using it. "HEY! GUY WHO HAS NO CHIN! OVER HERE!"

I beckoned to him and Porshemi looked at me as if he wanted to kill me, so I requited! I ran over towards him and I began leaving clear footprints in the dirt, it didn't take long before I jumped up and raised my foot, kicking him into the dirt floor below. Funnily enough, it was a one-hit K.O.

"Porshemi!" I supposed even if I didn't use Steel God, this fight wouldn't be so exhausting and would go by much quicker. However, I persisted to use it to get accustomed to the fatigue. Although, there was something that I had gathered evidence for, it's another theory I have about myself and my Haki.

I'm sure that whenever I enter a serious fight that if I get physically exhausted, I will never reach the point where I can't do anything, simply because my willpower just keeps me hanging on. It's a useful trait, I can admit to that!

I began my focus on the final three there were, I dropped to the ground and thanks to the increased strength of Steel God I was able to move faster! I made my way to the next pirate, I put my foot into the ground and used it to pivot myself as I raised my other foot while turning towards the pirate's pelvis. I knocked them down into another one of them, leaving only one left. I didn't hesitate to jump up and completely forgot about the fact I was a rubber man, so I ended up jumping higher than expected. To make use of it, I simply landed on the pirate's back and left him in the ground as well.

Well, that was a good job! I think I dealt with them swiftly and got the better half of the deal in terms of story progression! And... oh shit, none of these guys have a presence anymore... their strength is gone! Damn it! I didn't mean to do it!

I killed them!
