String of Fate (One Piece)

Chapter 1: Devil Fruit?

'Ring Ring Ring' the alarm rang from the phone.

"Ughh" the young woman groaned in the morning.  "5 more...10 more minutes....zzz" she said as she pushed snooze on her phone.  She pushed snooze the third time this morning.  

This time the alarm went off again and she grabbed her phone to check the time.  Her eyes widened.  '8:45!!!!!'  with that she fell out of the bed.  

"Holy Crap! I'm late!!!"  she screamed at herself as she placed the phone back on the night stand and rushed to the bathroom.  She hurridly washed her face and did her normal routine while she was brushing her teeth she ran back in her room to start putting on her clothes.  

With that she rushed back into the bathroom and rinsed her mouth.  Rushing back out to her kitchen and saw some fruits on the table, that her mother had brought her.  Along with the fruits stood an unusual fruit which looked similar to a fruit on her favorite show that she was watching last night.  

While rushing to grab her phone, bag, documents, along with a fruit she picked up the unusual fruit without even noticing which fruit she grabbed.  

With that she rushed out her front door and locked it while fast walking to the train station.  "I'm going to be late!! I'm going to be late!  Hurry!!!"  she chanted to herself over and over again while racing through the streets.  While taking out the fruit in her hand and munching on it, though it tasted sour and strange she didn't have time to worry about the fruit.  She had to worry about that later.  

"Excuse me, sorry!"  she would say each time she bumped into a stranger.  And dumped the rest of the fruit that was left in a plastic bag and napkins she had in her work bag to finish or throw away.    

She huffed once she reached the building, her destination.  She stopped for a moment outside to catch her breath and quickly walked inside while clocking in.  Just being 20 minutes late off the clock being 9:20.  She huffed in frustration at herself and walked to her desk.  Slumping in her chair while starting her work, knowing that she will be reprimanded for being late.  

Soon enough the manager of her office came by her desk telling her off for being late to work, for she could only apologize and nod her head.  After that she rested her head against the table on top of the new stacks of files and paper work that she needed to finish and more to do since she was late.  

The young woman could only complain and curse herself for being stupid for staying up late.  

~Time Skip~

The clock finally hit noon where fellow office workers would go take their lunch break including the young woman.  She stacked her finished files and paper work off the side and organized stuff before she went off to lunch. 

"Hey (Y/N), ready to head off to lunch and tell me why you're late?"  a voice said and snickered after their comment.  The young woman named (Y/N) turned around and grabbed her bag to look at her fellow office mate.  She sighed at the comment and spoke "Sure Marie."  

With that the two women walked out of the office to a nearby cafe that they often visited to get lunch and drinks.  "So, how's that file going for you?"  Marie asked the person next to her. 

"Fine, I should be finished with it soon.  I just have more files and work to do today..." (Y/N) sighed remembering all of her unfinished work that she has to get done.  "I might have to do overtime today."  

Marie chuckled next to her.  "Well tell me more inside and why you're late."  she said to her friend as they walked into the cafe and took their orders.
