We've Already Got It Bad Enough Without a Dad [One Piece]

Orla is an orphan.

A bearded man chased her for two days and two nights, then forcibly became her dad.

Her new dad was the famous pirate Gol D. Roger, and Orla suddenly had a noisy big family and two brothers, three years older than her, who argued every day with her stuck between them.

Later, her new dad dropped dead just like that.

Orla flew into a rage and got herself thrown in jail.

☆

Back to wandering, she met a beautiful blonde woman who volunteered to be her mom.

Her new mom was a pregnant single mother named Portgas D. Rouge. As it turned out, her new mom and old dad had actually been married!

Her new mom vanished in an instant, leaving Orla with a little brother who crawled all over the place...

The Marines, those evil bastards, snatched her little brother away.

Thirteen-year-old Orla thought she'd stumbled into a terrifying romance scam and broke down sobbing in despair.

☆

Portgas D. Ace had a peculiar older sister. She often left without a word and came back months later carrying a small mountain of money, scaring the Dadan Family into becoming bandits who excelled in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and all-around development.

Sabo often said his sister might be robbing banks out there. Ace thought that was impossible. Orla must have been working herself to the bone for some rich boss, scrimping and saving every penny she earned. After all, it had always been hard work for his sister to raise him.

To be specific:

1. Orla never dressed up and never bought new clothes or jewelry. She wouldn't change her clothes until they were worn through.

2. When Orla went out to make her way in the world, she couldn't even bring herself to buy a weapon. All she had was an old dagger from her no-good dad, and it was almost rusty.

3. Orla often stared at his face and sighed, saying she wanted to take him to find their mom.

Whenever that happened, Ace would wrap his arms around Orla's neck in a panic, his soft little cheeks rubbing against her as he said, "Sis, don't do anything rash. When I become Pirate King, I'll steal tons and tons of treasure for you!"

☆

To stop his big sister from taking him along when she went to join their dead parents, Ace worked himself to the bone. He often dragged Sabo out to train in the middle of the night, got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs, and occasionally cursed Roger for what he'd done.

When Ace set sail at seventeen, he was astonished to discover that the sea was full of legends about Orla. What did people mean, half the islands in the Grand Line were under her protection?!

Orla: We were already pitiful enough without a dad. I had no choice but to take over the Grand Line to protect my little brother.

The victims: You're just a battle maniac, so stop making excuses for yourself!! None of us who set sail have both our parents around!

A certain red-haired member of the Four Emperors: Orla is so cute~

The victims: ...Never mind, we can't afford to provoke him either.
