Prologue: Father

"I have to thank both of you for delivering my precious hummingbird back to me." The man moved his fingers intricately, strings emerged from his fingertips, surrounding Tori. The strings began caging her in, forcing her to emerge from her hiding spot. The worst of her nightmares were beginning to come alive.

It was only a matter of time. I knew that. I always knew that.

"TORI?" the goofy voice of the straw hat captain echoed deafeningly in her ears.

Looking up, her eyes met Law's. She didn't miss the shaking in his hand, too small for anyone to notice. Anyone but her.

Her gaze shifted to the left, taking in the sight of the yellow straw hat she has grown to find comfort in seeing. A rare hint of anger hidden behind Luffy's eyes appeared the moment her safety was compromised.

"I see that your crafty fingers obtained a Devil fruit. To think that I did not recognize you at Marineford." 

They know. They had to have figured it out by now.

"How very cruel of this world to deprive a father of the chance to see his only child grow up." Doffy beamed as Tori's widen eyes snapped towards him, horrified at what he had managed to slip. Doffy's signature grin plastered on his face grew as both Luffy and Law's jaw dropped with disbelief at the piece of information fed to them.

"Father?" Law questioned with an edge in his voice she has never heard before. Something she never wanted to hear ever again. Biting her lip, Tori's eyes began to feel hot. I deserve this.

"Oh? You didn't you know?" Tori's stomach dropped. "Fufufufufu! Well then! Let me introduce my little girl," Slumping her shoulders, her knees gave way. There was no stopping the tears now.

"Donquixote Tori."

hi this is my first time writing a fanfic :) looking for any feedback on how i can improve my writing and story telling!

"So what if you do share his blood?" "You're still Tori, our nakama." Forever bound by these strings, will she ever soar in the skies built for her? Tori has never hoped for a taste of freedom, she has only hoped to provide it, for she carries his blood. Who knew that the Surgeon of Death and a certain straw hat crew would help her find it within herself?
