AngelicType: This is for times when I don't feel like drafting out long chapters. (When I feel lazy) Still, there's no reason not to update my stories just because I'm not in the mood to sit, think and write. I'll use this fanfiction series as my excuse! (Greatest Idea Ever) Credits to the my Greatest Muse - The Tortured Poet :D
Disclaimer: I do not own this style of writing. I don't own the story. Although I kinda wished I owned both of these.
They'd laughed at me. But no matter, for I will become the Pirate King.
A purple fruit flew across the chaos of the party and was about to hit my face. The Red Hair Pirates guffawed. Unanticipatedly, I opened my mouth to swallow the fruit whole. Hah, this time they couldn't ridicule me.
My idol walked over to me. Red-Haired Shanks was livid, but I didn't know why. "Luffy, did you just eat that purple fruit?" His serious tone seemed to silence his nakama (crewmates).
"Hai (yes), sir!" I responded quickly and seriously, saluting him in respect.
"Then, you'll never be the Pirate King. That was the devil's fruit. People with the devil's powers (after they ingested a devil's fruit) can't swim."
I was stunned. My dream was taken, just like that.
But as I grew up, the devil's ability was useful as it allowed me to fight. It didn't matter whether I couldn't swim or not, as long as I had good swimmers for nakama. Teehee! *Grin*
