. Life and times as a Heart Pirate, in snippets and drabbles .

"Jana!" Shachi turned towards her with a grin looking between her and the newspaper. "You got a Bounty poster!"

Jana choked on her coffee. "What?" she coughed out.

"Look!" he turned the paper around and indeed, there was a picture of Jana. A very ridiculous one, but it was definitely her.

"Does it say what for?" she wiped her mouth. "I'm pretty sure I didn't even breathe ominously." Her picture made her look like a zoo keeper, not a pirate; she even had a smile on her face. Not even a creepy smile.

Penguin snorted. "Probably because you were seen with the rest of us and are wearing the uniform and jolly roger?"

"Ugh" Jana rolled her eyes and returned to her morning drink, it was too early.

"Why Beast Master?" Jana stared at her wanted poster.

"Oh I don’t know, maybe the animals you're so good with?" Penguin employed a 'duh' tone. Her picture spoke a thousand words.

"I guess I'm sort of good with animals-" Jana didn't consider her ability all that great, just because they all listened to her did not make it useful beyond her usual intent checks.

Though the crocodiles did make a difference when they had to cross that river.

"There is no 'sort of' there if you can growl and point and have animals attack!" Shachi interrupted.

"Ha ha," Jana scratched her head. "It’s hardly that easy."

Jana sighed as she looked back at the cake in front of her. They remembered her birthday. Birthday that she offhandedly mentioned way back at he inn. The inn.

"You are all such dorks." she sniffed, smiled at them. "I love you all, thanks for the cake." this brought out a series of laughs and whines about love and friendship.

Jana grinned and simply took the time to look at each of them. Her friends. She had so many friends now. She was so happy she wanted to cry.

"You want me to talk about feelings?"

"Well you're a girl."

"You really don't want me to talk about feelings."

"But you're our only chance!"

"Boys, I laugh at funerals," she drank a bit of her coffee. "You don't want me to talk about feelings."

"We're doomed!"

“Don’t look at me, you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel here.”

Jana stared at Law trying not to crack a rib. Luffy was hugging him heedless of onlookers like a rubber noodle. Law stared right back at her daring her to laugh..

Such a beautiful friendship... she fought a smile, but a grin spread across her face.

"Boys," she addressed the rest of Heart Pirates not taking her eyes off of the two captains, "Captain made a friend."

There was a certain cooing quality that made Law scowl even more.

There was a moment of silence before everybody broke into laughs with wails of 'Captaaaaain' and tear wiping. Law looked embarrassed for a moment, but relented with a mere eye roll.

Jana was happy for him; Luffy is probably exactly what he needed.

"Any pain?" Law asked as he examined Jana's unseeing eyes.

"None." there was silence after that.

"I'll miss reading the most I think." Jana broke it.

"I have a Devil Fruit encyclopedia here."

"I can't-"

"I'll read it." was all he said. "In any case you should rest so lay down."

Law read the passages out loud and allowed his crew-mate to silently cry in grief.

As far as second lives went it wasn't that bad.

"Jana?" mother of this body called. "Could you wash the dishes?"

She called back in affirmative before fishing for a bookmark to mark the page. Jana rushed to the kitchen ruffling the hair of her two younger sisters before getting to work.

When she was young, in her previous life, she loved washing dishes by hand; a silly tradition really and one she hated doing in the winter because back in her previous life there was no hot water in the kitchen. Here there were no such setbacks.

That made her cry sometimes.

The Sable family lived in a small village named Plume; on a Summer Island called Hook Island, Grand Line, Paradise.

First time she learned of this Jana had been torn between laughter and sobbing, not that she could be blamed for that, knowing the dangers of the world she was born in.

Clinking of the plates calmed her, smell of detergent made her focus on her work; but her mind did drift into slight introspection as these were all practiced movements. There was plenty to wash, their family ran an Inn - or rather her grandmother ran an Inn and the rest of the family just happened to live here.

This was one of grandmother’s grumbling complaints, so Jana had little issue lending a hand.

When she realized where she was, at age of three, she threw herself into reading any book she could reach. She considered herself very lucky to be born as a nobody and far away from the plot as possible; but she knew it might not stay that simple.

What if one of the more horrid pirate crews anchored here? what if pirates attacked her village? what if Marines decided to kill her entire island off?

What if, what if.

There was a myriad of possibilities that could end their peaceful lives here.

Gol D. Roger was executed when she was three, which left her quite some time until plot happened, assuming she didn't die before then, due to whatever. After all the main plot is not all there is.

One thing that she was certain of was that no one could know of the knowledge she possessed. It would place her family in danger, an entire world in danger, should there exist a person whose Devil Fruit could read minds.

Jana wanted to take no chances.

Best way to confuse a mind reader, who probably wouldn't be looking for any information under 'reincarnation' was to hoard huge amounts of knowledge. That was Jana’s take on the issue.

Little bits and pieces that would become credible clues to things she knew from before. Just so that a possible mind reader - and it was quite possible such a Devil Fruit existed - would consider her an investigator rather than an outsider with knowledge of the future.

She unplugged the sink and watched the soapy water drain away. Jana knew her parents were worried that she had no aspirations outside of reading and training her dog.

She smiled as she dried the plates.

How happy they were that she finally had a friend of sorts. Even if it was an animal. Jana had never been able to connect to her older sisters, not in the way sister's might; as she treated all four, both the younger and the older set of twins, as children.

Which they were, but being a young girl in body made it seem weird to others even if Jana was mentally thirty, twenty three years older than her body.

As soon as she was done she called to her grandmother that she was going out and grabbed her book again. "Jana!" her mother called out before she could disappear. "Don't forget to clean your room if you want to go with your father tomorrow!"

"I won't!" a rare grin spread across her face. She loved going with her father to the bigger city. A city that reminded her of her past life with it's tall buildings and numerous roads. No cars unfortunately, but still nostalgic. Jana loved to explore while her father did his work for the building company.

As an architect in a city like that he had no shortage of work; more than in their village of course, as pirates were more prone to anchoring and destroying in bigger cities.

While she did get in trouble sometimes, Jana was usually fast and nimble enough to escape and drunkards and delinquents that wanted to harm her.

After one incident which granted her a cut on her upper arm she made sure to run every morning if only to build up stamina.

This payed off in the busy streets of Lissel City where she learned to weave in and out of crowds with impressive speed, and manage to get back to her father unharmed every time since.

There were some of her father's friends that taught her how to punch properly once she returned with a black eye, courtesy of a fisherman's son who wanted to rip her book (he looked worse).

Her parents might have been worried that she would become a delinquent or a criminal, but her sisters pitched in with evidence that most kids in their nearby school were just jealous of Jana's smarts. After the elder twin's pleading she was left alone about any scrapes she gained, and if her father encouraged her to learn some self-defense and her grandmother looked suspiciously proud that was another matter entirely.

It was after the incident with Marines that her father encouraged her to broaden her physical training.

Jana didn't trust Marines, not by a long shot.

Mostly due to the fact that she was privy to their dirty secrets than anything else. Logically she knew there were good and bad Marines, in relation to civilian populace, just as there were many types of Pirates no matter what World Government said.

It was due to this that she gave Marines she encountered a benefit of doubt.

That was her first mistake.

Honestly, though, she knew there were some brutes out there, but to physically attack a seven year old was over the top. She didn't even bump into them or anything and being addressed as 'Hey you' didn't really clue her in that they were talking to her.

Jana returned home with a broken arm and an angry expression. Her parents panicked in short order, but only looked resigned when she said that it was the Marines.

That was the day she learned that her grandfather had been a pirate.

She also learned that Marines looked for any excuse to bring their family down. Villagers around here didn't like the Marines either, especially since they knew the Sable family and had no issue over long dead pirate relative. It was a small town, a close knit community.

Even if they had issues with each other, they had more beef with the Government.

Marines excused this as prevention. Keeping an eye on them in case any of them decided to turn pirate. Her parents' worry over her injuries looked to gain more weight with every moment.

It was the city dwellers who helped her once they heard her scream out from the pain; they escorted her back home after filing a complaint against the Marines. Her parents thanked them, but didn't expect it to go though, these things never did they said.

It was the first time they inflicted a serious bodily injury to a member of the family and her father worried that it might escalate.

That was the reason he introduced a broader training routine into Jana's schedule. Her elder sisters used to have their own when they were her age, but they were also less prone to getting in trouble.

Jana thought that this was the issue of her mental and physical age difference because she tended to mis-estimate danger.

It happened many times, but it was this time that she didn't manage to escape. Not that Jana made any mention of those previous times, not wanting to worry anyone, but it was this time that such an error was brought to her attention violently.

Three months passed since then. During the first month Jana shied away from people more than ever and her family fretted that her trust in people was broken irreparably.

What they didn't realize that it was her trust in herself that had been broken.

Jana grew more and more uncertain of her own knowledge of people, interactions and emotions.

Because, why couldn't she read the situation that time-why couldn't she see?!

It was Luca, her dog, who saved her. It was him who really saved her. Her family saw him bring her out of her shell, but they didn't see the whole picture.

Jana learned quickly that Luca was a good judge of character, he could smell it, sense it, whatever it was that he could do; he could definitely tell people's intentions. Jana let him take the wheel.

Everywhere she went Luca followed and Jana took cues from him.

From his slanted ears, bristling fur, bared teeth or low growls. She attuned herself and her observations according to him and pulled through.

Jana only allowed her shock to last for a moment. Heart Pirates were in their foyer.

She glanced at Coco, the resident mutt, he wasn't growling.

In fact he looked quite happy to see them, his beady eyes on Bepo. The polar bear looked embarrassed at such a reception.

Jana looked them over in silence before sighing. "Welcome to the Sable inn,” she nodded and shifted the groceries in her arms. "Did grandma bring you here?"

Before the captain could answer, and he had been eyeing Jana as well, grandma Iris chimed in from the kitchen. "I sure did dear."

Jana wanted to sigh, this just meant more trouble from the Marines later, but she supposed it would happen anyways; they all had their routines.

This way at least the reasons for harassment would be justified - in a way. There was no law prohibiting them to house pirates, but Marines would swoop down the first chance they got. Things had gotten more hectic since Van and Sara moved further away, but Jana was not about to leave her aging grandmother alone to their mercies.

She wanted to resort to sarcasm, but settled for sending a look in the direction of the kitchens and turned back to the whispering pirates.

"Have you already settled on the rooms?"

"We've settled on the number, five double rooms, but not on which ones." Trafalgar Law spoke, his eyes were calculating. "Would you mind telling us where we could get supplies?"

Jana nodded and went to place the groceries in the kitchen before continuing. "You might want to wait until tomorrow though."

"Why is that?" there was no infliction in his voice despite the slight smirk.

"Marine patrol." chatter broke out among the pirates.

"Are they likely to come here?" Law went straight to the point.

"Unfortunately for you these guys have issues with us," she motioned between herself and the kitchen where her grandmother was working. "but," she added when they looked worried. "They can't search here without an actual warrant."

Jana also had Van’s number in case they tried.

"So-so they'll definitely come?" Bepo spoke with a paw to his mouth and Jana looked to him surprised, despite knowing he spoke it was still amazing to see.

"Sorry." Bapo apologized taking her awe negatively. "What are you apologizing for?!" some of the crew yelled at him and Jana almost laughed.

"They always do." she gave grimace. "They have patrols elsewhere tomorrow, also the Log Pose sets in seven days in case grandma didn't tell you."

"Of course I told them dear." Iris tutted. "I'm not that senile yet."

"Um," Shachi started. "Why exactly do the Marines have it out you?"

Jana blinked for a second, considering how to put it, before nonchalantly motioning to Iris. "It's all grandma’s fault."

Iris chuckled with a leer. "Grandfather was a pirate so we'll be suspicious for a few more generations yet." Jana rolled her eyes; logic of child paying for parent's sins was so backwards she didn't know where to start.

"You married a pirate?" Penguin gaped at Iris and Jana just shook her head as she served the drinks around to those who hadn't already grabbed them.

"Psh, marry him? I'd have never married him," Iris grinned. "Just had a child by him." She chuckled at his expression. "It's not my fault folks around here got no sense of anything much less adventure." She turned to Jana and continued. "Like that Martin boy, from a line of idiots I told him."

Jana froze. Martin? "You didn't say that to his face?" Jana frowned at her grandmother, ignoring the pirates watching the display.

"Of course I did," Iris waved it off like nothing. "I'm old; I'm due some old age rudeness."

Jana pinched the bridge of her nose. "You don't say that to a man whose son recently harpooned himself by accident."

"That must have been the reason he was glaring.” she muttered before continuing. “Well, there goes my proof, natural selection." Iris grinned unrepentant.

Exasperated sigh escaped Jana's mouth and she looked over the pirates stopping her gaze on Law. "If you don't mind I'm going to go and apologize to the man," she glanced at Iris. "Try not to insult our customers too."

"It was that ridiculous boy, Matt something or other." Iris waves her hand.

"One of the reasons he's always disgruntled when doing searches here is probably because you mangle his name grandma." Jana sighs.

"I'll be telling his mother how rude he is."

"You always do," Jana puts the glasses to dry. "you know she despises you."

"Of course," Iris looks insulted for a moment before breaking out in a grin. "It's a mutual loathing, needs reaffirmation every week."

Jana shakes her head with a chuckle. "I can only hope to have as much venom as you do when I'm your age."

"Aim higher dearie."

Natural Instinct - scene

Jana is twenty years old in body the first time she kills another human being.

She was doing errands in the city on the day which, unfortunately for all involved, the town happened to be attacked by pirates.

Jana didn't think, only reacted.

Twisted out of men's holds and picked a knife off of their belts.

She slit their throats and buried the weapons in their heads. Marines arrived just as she saved lives of a couple of merchants and children. This improved her standing in eyes of some Marines which was a welcome reprieve.

Natural Instinct - scene

"Remember," Van reminded her again like a mother hen. "Do not use these unless your life is in danger."

They've all been babying her since mother died; it was probably because she hadn't cried, preferring to mourn in silence and occupy herself with work.

Or maybe it was because ever since her death their father had been falling deeper and deeper into depression, leaving their grandmother to care for those who were not yet of age.

It had been two years already, but things weren't looking up. His immune system kept failing and he kept getting sicker and sicker.

"I know." she sighed as she saw him to the door, he wouldn't be checking in for a while. "I don't want to get you in trouble."

She doesn't believe things will get any worse. She's wrong.

Three days later, their father commits suicide.

"I'm not too concerned with fighting itself," Jana spoke haltingly. "If I can avoid fighting I will, so I need to be quick enough not to get caught."

She looked up at Van imploringly. Jana knew what she was aiming for, Rokushiki Technique: Soru, but Van didn't. He certainly seemed contemplative.

"Why are you asking me?" he might have suspicions, but he couldn't provide a viable reason of Jana having any knowledge of Rokushiki.

Jana gave him a look that made her face a picture of teenage frustration. Exactly what she was aiming for.

"You are the only person with formal training that I know?" he winced slightly and gave her a sheepish smile.

"Right." he scratched his neck before giving her a considering look.

Jana tried not to squirm through the long minutes of silence and keep her mouth shut aside from giving him some impressive raised eyebrows.

"Well," he started with a frown and a sigh. "There is something I can try to teach you, but it will take a lot of time and dedication."

Jana shrugged when he seemed to be looking for a reply. "It's not like I'm busy."

Van merely looked to the ceiling trying very hard not to roll his eyes. "You're seventeen I know you're not busy," he licked his lips, but to his credit he avoided a patronizing tone.

"I mean that it would be terribly difficult and that you might not even manage to do it due to your body's limitations."

Now Jana was certain now that he was talking about Rokushiki.

"Won't know unless I try." she smiled at him. "When do we start?"

This was how Jana learned Soru.

Natural Instinct - scene

Things didn’t get better for years, but Jana's improved mobility granted her a reprieve of broken bones. She mostly evaded attacks, not bothering to throw punches that did not carry a lot of weight behind them.

She was quick and slippery, silent and observing.

Most of her enjoyment came from playing big sister for the younger set of twins both of whom loved to listen to her read. She enjoyed their wide-eyed expressions at some of the more ridiculous Lore she uneathed.

When she entered puberty for the second time at thirteen was when she finally caught a break.

One of the elder twins was involved in a serious relationship.

This wouldn't have been so groundbreaking if this particular man had not been a Marine. It was due to this relation that scrutiny on Jana let up. It bothered her something fierce that she had to become 'another Marine's turf' to be left alone.

Van, her sister Sara's boyfriend, was the kind of a man who gave people faith in the system. He was a good man and a good Marine, which was unfortunately an achievement.

Jana was relieved that he was the one dating her sister. Van was also the one most bothered by the fact that Jana was picked on so much.

After witnessing an altercation himself he made it his personal duty to teach her how to fight. This was how Jana learned Marine combat style.

Mostly submission holds, trips and pressure points, but something which made her really smug the next time a Marine decided to grab her.

Natural Instinct - scene

Staring at the ceiling of her room blankly, book on her stomach, Jana thought that perhaps this world was not so different from her previous one, but the previous one had a better illusion of equality.

Jana herself had been among the privileged section through her previous race and middle class station.

Here World Government barely maintained a picture of a just society.

Execution of Gol D. Roger only served to shake up that fragile balance.

In this world Jana had both the privilege and the curse of knowing too much. Should someone learn of the knowledge she possessed her family would be in grave danger.

From all sides.

She swore to herself to never tell anybody and hoped fervently that if mind reading Devil Fruit existed (and chances were high) that the user had no business on their summer island.

She looked a lot like her previous self, straw hair, brown eyes, only face shape differed a little, but otherwise she was very much herself.

Unlike her sisters who were closer to black haired in both sets of twins with dark eyes to match.

Her grandmother told her she looked a lot like grandfather, which made her parents uneasy as grandfather ha d been a pirate. Jana wondered who looked like whom in this case, but didn't protest when grandmother wanted her to use the only gift grandfather left to her, a violin, as that was something of a wish in her previous life as well.

Natural Instinct - scene

Before any of this happened, she was quite unremarkable.

Not to say that her mere entrance into this place had any effect on her competence or anything; everything she earned in this new world was through hard work and diligence.

Plus a whole bucket of luck and an ocean of fear.

Before her soul was marooned in another world she had never quite fit in. Not because she was anything special, but maybe because she was prone to overthinking.

She would fret about social interactions, friendships and various unimportant deadlines. This drove people away because they couldn't understand her high investment in 'unimportant things' and in turn made her shy away from them.

What is the point in trying your best when you always come off as too much and or too little.

She couldn't win.

Her life, up until her death, was spent mostly in her head. Vastly eloquent on paper, but not in real life; and always, always alone.

It was a cycle of depressions and high points that didn't last all too long; so to say that she wasn't overly bothered by dying would be right on the dot.

She was more bothered that she woke up.

Natural Instinct - overview

...

Posts . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . 10 . 11 . 12 .

...

Jana Sable (SIOC) and the premise of her story.

Realizes pretty soon what kind of world she’s in (when she's three and Roger is Executed). Wants to stay far away from plot, pirates and marines. Jana knows too much about future events and is terrified of anybody finding out.

It doesn't matter to her if it’s pirates or marines, her new family and entire world may be in danger depending on who gets their hands on her memories.

Mostly she fears a mind reader - in the world of one piece that is a possibility so to prevent any such from discovering her origins she reads and learns a lot so that any mind reader would find justifications for things she knows in her head and not immediately connect it to her knowing the future and being from another world.

SIOC has only read up until the end of Dressrosa, has not read Luffy winning and so does not know of Pudding’s powers, but suspects such things exist.

Most of the time, due to her being of mental age she feels as if she can judge situations and people fairly easily. She is only right half the time.

She draws from what she knows of the world, which tells her to be wary of everybody, but as this is tiring her vigilance wanes, or rather, she doesn't want to be so paranoid and distrustful of people.

She decides to give people benefit of doubt.

This is a mistake as she starts to lose security in her own insight after her estimations of people's characters are proven wrong at either her expense, or expense of people close to her.

Leading her to being even more paranoid and even more reclusive than she was before.

Marines hold a grudge against her family because her grandmother had a pirates child and refused to be ashamed of that.

So they keep an eye on them and harass them to ‘prevent them form becoming criminals’.

Her family worries about her continued paranoia and isolation, this changes when she gets a dog named Luca who can discern people's intentions.

It is with him that she starts to go out again.

Luca is rather perceptive for a dog, perceptive of people's nature. Jana notices and takes her cues from him. While Jana did know how to fight a little from what her father's builder co-workers taught her (so that she can navigate the larger city and stay safe) she mostly concentrates on speed and evasion.

This didn't help her when Marines actually caught her and broke her arm, but it did make her father give her some more self-defense training.

When Jana is 13, her sister Sara gets into a serious relationship with a Marine Van Gillian who is both a good man, and good Marine. Disappointed in his fellow Marines and dismayed at not being able to do much; he teaches Jana Marine martial arts, submission holds and pressure points that he himself learned.

In his mind this was for her defense and he was the one to bring Sara (then his wife) news of Jana missing and then later becoming a pirate. His marriage with Sara protects the remaining Sable family, who no longer hold the name.

Jana's mother dies when she's 16, in an accident while visiting their architect father. It is a building accident in which a part of the building collapses, a building that her father built.

It is a little before this tragedy that Jana nudged Van into teaching her Rokushiki, her desire to learn is amplified with the incident and she manages to gain some capability in both Soru and Geppou by the time she's 18

Her mother’s death sends her father into depression which results in him merely going with the motions until in two years (when Jana is 18) he dies from an illness and wasting away.

Her older sisters are 22 at the time and already working as a jewelry maker and a cook, living in the city, her younger sisters are 16 and still living with them (one studying mechanics, apprenticed to a mechanic in the city; another apprenticed under a seamstress)

All of them spend as much of time as they can away from the inn, it brings bad memories. Jana stays to take care of their grandmother and the inn, with their grandmother taking over the business.

Sisters mostly talk over DenDen mushi, their relationship much easier on Jana now that they're all a bit older.

During the next 7 years Jana stays and works with her grandmother and endures Marine patrols that come by every three days or so.

Her grandmother and her routinely house pirates, even if just to spite the Marines who can never prove it.

These pirates are not all that famous; and while some are worse and some are better Jana can usually tell. This is in fact how she trains up her Observation Haki and intuition; with Luca as standby to check her hunches and a myriad of pirates and marines visiting.

When Jana is 20, there is a pirate attack in the larger city while she is there.

Jana uses her hard acquired skills to defend herself and civilians. Marines come in the aftermath where she's killed a couple of pirates, and protected a few kids and merchants, this makes them let up on her.

Marine harassment lessens and their patrols become more laid back.

They are even more lax if they're Van's friends; those marines are usually nice and only do these checks because they're supposed to. They also try to do something about those marines who like to harass them (these are usually ultimate justice types or marines who don't like Van).

Jana gets to know a handful of Marines this way, but nobody plot-important

Van and Sara married during this time, after 7 years of dating and living together (married when Jana was 20 and Sara 24)

They have a son a year after Jana joins Heart Pirates (when Jana is 26 and Sara 30)

Selena married when she was 25 (Sara 25 and Jana 21) to a fellow cook in a shotgun wedding in an after-party haze; but the two had been in love for years having a bit of a rivalry through their respective mentor cooks, though it leaned more and more towards love as years went by.

When Jana is 23 and Vana and Julie 21, the two have a double marriage. Its a marriage of twins marrying twins. Julie, a mechanic, marrying a florist (Johan Devitt) and Vana, a seamstress, marrying his twin a painter (Eugene Devitt).

Jana in the meantime forms a friendship with a local butcher's daughter who is her listening ear and a gentle friend. Her name is Marie.

Luca the dog dies when Jana is 24, at 20 years of age. Passes away painlessly in his sleep. Jana had been expecting it for years so she manages to stave off depression.

Jana had been amassing animal friends from all over the island.Little birds, cats, stray dogs all tend to stop by the inn for a quick meal, tail wag, petting, but none stay for long.

It is this that makes her spend even more time with her grandmother because she feels that once the woman passes away that she will have no direction.

Her connection to Marie is the only thing grounding her in some sort of a routine and purpose. She is slightly unsettled, but still very protective of her sisters who now have their own lives and don't call as much as they used to.

She doesn't want to risk anybody finding anything out from her and threatening her family and considers moving away to a remote house/apartment/hut once her grandmother passes away-thinks of selling the inn and just leaving for somewhere she won't be bothered.

It is not long afterwards, when she's 25, that Heart Pirates show up.

Jana isn't quite sure what to think of them, uncertain if her information and impressions are useful at all. So when they reach the inn she looks to nearby cats and dogs first. And relaxes.

These animals are well attuned to human intent, that is enough for a first impression.

Her paranoia and age make her a master of observation of gestures, subtle movements, tics, voice intonation. All of this is done mostly unconsciously and she is always uncertain if she is correct. She needs her beta check, her dog.

Heart Pirates have to stay for a week, so the Log Pose can set and in that time each of them gains a place in her heart.Jana finds that she fits well in with them. They seem to like her, consider her somewhat of a friend.

Heart Pirates are pretty unhappy with the way Marines treat her and her grandmother, but can do nothing lest they cause more trouble for the two. Jana and her grandmother brush their concerns off, this Marine behavior is not unusual.

Jana doesn't expect to like the Heart Pirates as much as she does. She liked them as characters, they were interesting, funny and somewhat mysterious.

Now, meeting them as people, both sides are surprised at how well they just click.

Some Heart Pirates are not okay with the thought of just leaving her in her situation with the Marines and are planning to ask the captain to extend an invitation to her.

Then the incident Happens (on the last day of Heart Pirates stay)

Somehow Marines learn that pirates were there while Jana is out actually helping the pirates find shops they were looking for. She hears from a neighbor that ran to find her that the inn was actually being burnt down.

Jana runs back immediately. After a brief contemplation Heart Pirates follow. By the time they arrive Jana is already in a life or death battle with a Marine; some of the stray dogs are attacking other Marines with viciousness they haven’t displayed before.

Marines end up being incapacitated or dead and Jana is quietly devastated at her grandmother's death and the burned down inn.

She doesn't cry, she hasn't cried in a long time.

She is just tired.

Jana asks the pirates if they mind helping her dig a grave, they agree without any prompting from Law. After all is done and she's trying to see if something can be salvaged from the fire, he asks her about her plans.

His crew is immediately all ears, they have a feeling as to where this is going.

Law was given a good look into Jana's intuitive abilities, seen her get a measure of people with nary a glance; he has a feeling there is something there and feels like betting on it.

Jana says she'll probably go to one of her sisters and live with them; she has no idea what she'll do as she always planned to continue holding the inn.

And, as an even older woman than she appears, she feels guilty mooching off even if the situation cannot be helped. She's feeling a bit hopeless about her future. (Her sisters all married to lose the family name)

Then Law says that she could come with them if she liked.

Jana is actually surprised, tries to dissuade him, because really is she honestly pirate material?

Law counters that by saying he doesn't know, (which startles her because she thought him prideful, but realizes that she hasn't seen it and that that was a preconception) asks her if she wants to find out.

And because she can see something there, some opportunity for something, maybe discovering herself, her own motivations.

Wanting not to be tired or scared of living anymore, she agrees.

Unfortunately she has to leave her dogs. While the pirates are getting supplies as quick as they can, she goes to the woman who warned her about the marines and leaves her the four dogs after saying goodbye to them.

The woman is kind and had known her since she was a child, the woman quickly packs her some clothes and necessities realizing that the young woman was leaving.

They part with a hug and goodbye, the older woman later following Jana's career as a pirate, always reading out-loud to the four dogs

Through her time with the Heart Pirates they teach her how to trust herself more and how to speak up when she has a possible solution. How to get involved with people and with the world again.

Some get angry in the beginning at how she amends with 'but I might be wrong about that' at all times, finding it annoying, but her near hysteria when she is wrong stops them from saying anything about it again.

Law tells her later to have more faith in others if she cannot have faith in herself. Telling her that they always know things might go wrong and that if she's wrong the responsibility isn't hers alone.

They will pull through together, that is the point of having and being a part of the crew. He actually knows just what to say.

She is shortest in the crew at 168cm

Her violin, the one given to her grandmother by her grandfather was burned along with the house so once Heart Pirates learn she's a violinist and a musician they buy her a violin for her birthday (it's white and black with the bow being yellow)

In one case there is a point where she has to protect an injured crew-member who tells her to just go and leave him - which she refuses - and manages to get them both out.

Possibly loosing her sight, and wearing a face mask from then onward concentrating her Haki to tell people and places apart, using echolocation as well or something like that.

Jana’s Skills:

eye for detail

speed (due to running away from kids and Marines) and parkour as well as body submission holds (which have been lifted from Marine martial arts), flexibility, but not great power, relies mostly on avoiding hits, hitting pressure points and submission holds

Intuition (can distinguish if a person is lying) (with increasing effectiveness, regardless of how good of a liar they are) (can distinguish if a person means harm to her or those close to her - killing intent), can read body language and facial expressions expertly, good with animals due to intuition.

Observation Haki (intent, direction) - if she loses her sight she can force her Haki into the floor to get an outline of her surroundings and people (a la Toph)

good with makeup and clothes as well as impersonation (this makes a great spy)

has a singing voice (her grandmother liked it when she sang, reminding her of grandfather), play a violin (only thing left of grandfather and another piece grandmpther shared with her)

Jana’s Flaws: insecurity in her own capabilities, paranoia, prone to sarcastic and snide remarks, intentionally miscommunicates

Likes: Books about everything and anything, writing songs from past life, rewriting them to suit this world.

Tropes:

Genre Savwy (knows she's in a 'fictional' world), Jack-of-all-trades (can apply most of her various bits and pieces of knowledge), Weak, but Skilled, Fragile Speedster(all speed, evasion and some self defense tricks), Sneaky Guy (scouts ahead, info gathering), Communications Officer/Mission Control (provides field info and intel), Hit-and-Run Tactics (pressure points and submission holds if necessary, but mostly tripping enemies), Damsel out of Distress (rescues herself in occasions she's captured), Combat Clairvoyance (Observation Haki), Specs of Awesome, Tranquil Fury (when actually pissed off), has a Canine Companion(Luca), True Companions (with Heart Pirates), Platonic Life Partners (with Law), Deadpan Snarker (sometimes when things are 'illogical'), Living Lie Detector (due to combination of Haki, good instincts and desperation), Good is not Soft (does not shy away from outright murder as she has a great division of us vs. them), Humble Goal (at first to just stay in that little village forever, peacefully, then to be unremarkable and forgettable while staying safe and keeping everybody else safe due to knowledge, after meeting Heart Pirates it becomes just staying by their side as long as she lives)

Quote: "Apparently I've been too kind." (to go with Good is not Soft)

Heart Pirates notes:

Everybody knows basic mechanics (just enough to know if something isn't working as it should, if more knowledgeable then also what to do until they can get a mechanic)

Everybody knows basic medicine (at least to patch up minor wounds in a pinch, what to do in case of this or that and some symptom causes)
