~Third Person~

Fisher Tiger lets out a groan and opens his eyes only to shut them once again due to the light streaming in from the window. He opens his eyes again and he blinks a couple of times to get accustomed to the light. He sits up from the bed he's laying on to look around the room he's currently in. The walls are a plain white colour and the floor is hardwood with the only furniture in the room being a night table, desk, desk chair, arm chair, wardrobe, and the queen-sized bed he was laying on. Ti stands up and heads to the door that was closest only to find it opens up into a closet.

Ti closes the door and opens the other door in the room to be greeted by a hallway. He steps out looking to the right first and spots a door a bit farther down. A second door is placed on the end wall and a thud to his left stops any closer inspection as he turns to determine what the noise is only to find a broken table and a black feathered figure laying on top of it.

"Rosi, what the hell did you break?" A female voice resonates through the house.

"Nothing." Rosi says standing up and looking around scared for the owner of the house.

"That didn't sound like nothing." Belle says standing behind Rosi after coming out of the door just behind him since she was setting up the room for when she rescues Otohime.

"Eek." Rosi shouts in surprise before slipping again as Belle rolls her eyes before looking at the broken table.

"Are you ever going to get over your clumsiness?" Belle asks before noticing the extra person and she looks up. "Oh Fisher Tiger, you're awake."

"Who are you?" Ti asks looking suspiciously at the two.

"My name's Belle and this is Donquixote Rosinante. You must be confused about what happened and what you're doing here." Belle says.

"I know I was." Rosi mutters and Ti says silent.

"On Foolshout Island the marines set up an ambush for you and they would've succeeded in killing you if not for my interference. I managed to fake your death and sneak away without letting the marines know but the marines have broadcast your death so the whole world believes you're dead." Belle says and Ti's face gains a worried expression.

"It's not as bad as you're thinking being believed to be dead. It sucks that the one's you care about don't know you're alive." Rosi says turning himself into a depressed mood.

"I know it's not what you would want to happen but I do know a way for you to continue to help fight against the Tenryubito's if you want to continue the fight." Belle says.


-Time Skip – Some Time Later-

~Belle's POV~

"I told you already Grandpa. I'm going to be the Pirate King." Luffy says slapping Garp's leg as he's carried by his cheek.

"Pirate King my foot. Not only did you eat a devil fruit but you have the gall to speak to me that way? Luffy, You, Belle, and Ace are going to become the strongest marines that have ever lived when you grow up." Garp says.

"Ow. Why does this hurt if I'm rubber? Let me go Grandpa." Luffy says.

"It was a mistake for me to leave you here in this lukewarm village." Garp says and I roll my eyes.

"Like a bandit's hut is going to be any better." I mutter under my breath as I follow behind the bickering idiots as we approach the hut.

"Dadan get out here." Garp yells banging on the door.

"Garp; come on, give me a break already. Ace is already ten years old. We won't be able to handle him much longer. Take him back." Dadan says and I watch as Luffy wanders around the clearing.

"Oh he's already that old?" Garp asks

"Luffy don't wander off too far." I say when Luffy goes towards the tree line.

"Eh why not?" Luffy asks wandering back.

"Who're these kids?" Dadan asks and Garp picks up Luffy. He goes to pick me up as well but I dodge him and instead kick him in the shin.

"You little shit." Garp says growling at me and I just stick my tongue out at him. "Anyway take care of these two as well; they're my grandkids. Say hi you two." Garp says.

"Yo," Luffy says raising a hand as he dangles by the back of his shirt and I just wave as I survey the area. I see Ace staring at me with wide eyes and I'm guessing he saw me kick Garp before getting away with it. I stick my tongue out at him and his eyes narrow.

"You want me to take two more and they're your grandkids?" Dadan yells as Garp sets Luffy down and he starts wandering again. I ignore them and sit down on a rock that's in the area and pull a piece of paper out of my pocket. I unfold it and look at the list of things I need to get. I pull out a pencil and add a couple of things to the list that I forgot to put on earlier.

"All right, I'll let you choose. Go to jail or look after them. I've overlooked as many crimes of yours as there are stars in the sky." Garp says.

"Old blackmailing bastard." I say checking the list over once again and pulling a donut out of my bag.

"Where'd you get the donut?" Garp yells not even mentioning what I said.

"From you back at the bar." I say taking a bite out of it.

"You damn brat." Garp says laughing and I shake my head at him. "Your choice Dadan." Garp says tuning back to look at the bandit.

"Well I don't like the idea of getting arrested but sometimes I think a prison cell might be better. We're having a tough enough time with Ace and now you're adding your grandkids. These kids must be some kind of beast right?" Dadan yells.

"I'm not actually his granddaughter, he kinda just adopted me." I say as Luffy gets hit by Ace's spit.

"Geeh, it's spit. That's disgusting. Hey who're you?" Luffy says glaring at Ace.

"Oh, Ace." Garp says looking at Ace who was sitting on a buffalo he just caught. Ace has a bloody pipe in his hands and he's glaring at the two idiots.

"Ace, you came back." Dadan says.

"That's Ace. He's three years older than you Luffy. You'll be living together from now on so you better get along." Garp says hitting Luffy on the head before saying his goodbye and leaving once again.

"Just come inside you idiots." Dadan says walking in the hut with Ace carrying the buffalo in with him.

"Are you coming Belle?" Luffy asks when he notices me not moving.

"Nah I'm going on a supply run." I say standing up.

"See you in a couple of months." Luffy says waving.

"Why do you assume I'm going to be gone for a couple months?" I ask walking towards the path Garp took to get here.

"Cause you're usually gone for a month or two." Luffy says and I pat his back as I walk past him.

"Well anyway I'll see you when I get back. I don't know how long I'll be." I say starting to walk down the path.

"See you and tell Rosi I say hi." Luffy yells waving and I wave over my shoulder before disappearing from his sight.
