Just the Start of...

[A/N: Read Author's Note]

Aren watched as his mother slashed another tree down with a flying slash attack from her katana...

*swwwiiIIIISSHHHH*

*crraaAACKKKK*

*THUD*

"That's awesome," he thought. He was standing inside his dark brown baby crib that was on the porch of a 2-floor brick house.

[A/N: Image]

Three months after his father left, his mother had to survive for her child and herself. She, out of all the options she thought of, opted to become a bounty hunter. Not only would it bring in money faster, if she turned in the "bad guy," but she would also help this world out a little.

She knew this side of the red line was way more dangerous than any other, but she was not weak by any means... no, far from it. From a young age, her father, a human, had taught her swordsmanship, something that would help her out a lot later on in her life. Her skill to observe was magnificent, not only was she partially cat mink (from her mother) but mostly because she learned through experience just like almost everyone did. Though, she kept this a secret from her lover... She thought it would be fair since he had lied to her about what he was doing, but then again, she didn't want to be that type of person. She had a child, after all.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Her father used to say, those words stuck with her. Something that she would have to pass on to her son...

* Huff* *Huff* "That should be enough training for today," said a woman.

With a "shing," She sheathed her katana and started walking towards her house...

My beautiful boy, you sure are full of energy, she thought as she saw Aren jumping up and down while holding the railing of the baby crib.

"Oh, she's coming this way!" Thought Aren as he began to jump on his baby crib. "She's very beautiful..."

Indeed she was...

She wore dark blue pants with a white tank top that fit her voluptuous body very well. Her long red hair was in a ponytail which caught the attention of the people whenever she walked through town. Her white porcelain skin that was covered in sweat glistened in the sun. Her soft pink lips accented her face even more along with her fiery red eyes which would dilate depending on the situation. On top of all that, she had small cat ears that she kept hidden due to some people on the island having racial issues...

"Aren~ Ah-ha-ha," she had reached the porch and picked Aren up while cooing his name.

Aren responded with "mama," his first word as a baby. His very first word in this new world he was born in.

"Lady Rias, the food is rea—" Emma called from inside the house but was interrupted by Rias.

"Emma! Aren just said his first word!" Rias yelled excitedly.

*On Earth*

"Well, this is the start of his journey..." said a figure, Terry, now disguised as a human.

Terry had come to earth for his break. He, or "it," was currently lying down on a sofa in his apartment watching Aren's journey unfold...

The Void/factory had given every figure a break from work, a very, very long break...

"Annnnnd, that's sus," Terry suspected the author of—

AHEM! Anyways, let's go back to the main story...

"Yeah, it's best to ignore m—" Terry was about to reply when he heard a knock on the door.

"Oh, that must be the pizza!" Terry was thrilled to eat human food once more. So he ignored the event that just happened and happily skipped towards the door.

*Back in One Piece*

Emma came out the front door to the porch. She leaned against the door frame. "Is that so? He's growing up fast, isn't he?" asked Emma. She had helped deliver Aren, so she knew just how small he was compared to now.

She was a woman that had been rescued by Rias when she was younger and decided to follow her from that day onward, becoming her best friend. However, she addressed her as "Lady Rias" because she felt she owed her her life which she did, but, despite the countless times Rias told her it wasn't necessary, Emma continued doing it.

This situation certainly felt like a comedic environment—no, it was a comedic environment that grew in both Rias's and Emma's lives. Somewhat like Batman and Alfred or Rimuru and Ranga.

Emma dressed just like any maid would, a black dress and a white apron. Her hair was of an emerald green color that she always had down, which reached her shoulders. Her eyes were light brown which, by a single look, you could tell she's a kind person. She had porcelain skin color just like Rias which just made her look much, much more attractive in the maid dress she wore. It also didn't help that she had all the curves and assets in the right places which were also accented by her maid dress.

"I wish I had my own..." she thought as she saw Rias rub her nose against Aren's while holding him up in the air.

"Well, he sure is a big baby. It's probably due to my height though as well as his father's," replied Rias, gritting her teeth at the last part. She was right though. She stood at 8 feet, 3 inches, towering over Emma since she was only six foot seven.

"Oops... Sorry, mom..." Aren apologized in his head. Another thing that he had to get accustomed to was... pooping in a diaper. Yes, he had done it yet again, he had pooped in his diaper.

"Uh-oh, looks like someone has a dirty diaper," Rias said as she then proceeded to go inside the house to change Aren's diaper, Emma waited for them to go inside before she did.

"Emma, it might be a little bit till' I and Aren eat, so could you re-heat the food after I'm done?" Rias asked from Aren's room.

"Of course, Lady Rias," replied Emma.

"Rias! Not 'Lady Rias!'"

"Yes, Lady Rias."

"Oh, for the love of god!"
