Chapter 1
(Female Luffy P.O.V.)
The sea battered the ship on the bright sunny day, music swelled throughout the air surrounding it. People smiled brightly as men and women danced together to the sound of violins and pianos. Just a little way away, high above the ship a voice cried out that soon created a panic throughout its patrons. There just a short distance from the cruise ship was a large wooden boat, decorated with canons and the cries of men waving their swords around.
People ran wildly, bumping into each other and clawing for a way to escape.
"Here they come!" One of the crew attendants cried out as the pirates swung onto the ship. They planted onto the wooden deck with a loud thud as their footsteps wreaked havoc above.
Waking abruptly from my nap, I stretch out forgetting that I stowed away inside a barrel after my recent boat sink. Taking a quick deep breath, I burst through the barrel with arms outstretched and eyes closed shut to adjust to the sudden light change. Extending my arms into the open air, I awoke loud and boisterous as ever.
"Can't you guys keep it down?" I cry out fighting back a yawn throughout the whole sentence
Opening my eyes, I soon realize there were people surrounding me. Two men gawked at me slightly terrified- most likely because I just yelled as I awoke up from a short nap in a barrel. One guy was tan and had long black hair just passed his neck and a wavy blue tattoo over his eye and two S's atop each other on his bicep to match. He wore a dark purple tank top with red wrist bands and lightly tanned shorts with black shoes. The other guy was a blonde with a dark green headband to keep his long hair out of his face. He wore an orange shirt with black jeans and a blue sash wrapped around his waist with black shoes upon his feet as well. One guy, who was quite big, wore a blue and white striped shirt with jeans and black shoes seemed to be asleep on the wooden ground, good choice too- my nap was quite incredible.
There also was a young boy with them, his face had tear streaks going down his cheeks and his eyes were slightly red and puffy. He had pink hair that parted down the side of his left and right sides of his head. He wore large round dark blue glasses and a white button up shirt with blue streaks that lined the shoulder and neck collar. He had white sneakers with red lines going up and down the top of the shoe with black pants as he sat upon the floor trembling slightly and practically crying.
"Um… Hey." I started slowly while the three looked at me confused as I wave at them, "You know where some food is?"
Adjusting my hat, I waited for a response from at least one of them but they seemed to be studying my appearance. I dusted my short blue jeans off. I wore a red bikini top with a red vest over it lined with gold buttons. I had short blue jeans cut by scissors and flip flops upon my feet. I pulled up my straw hat with a red ribbon wrapped around it and set it on top of my head, covering my long black wavy hair that was pulled back into a ponytail.
All of them looked at me dumbfounded as the two older guys started to scold me.
"How dare you take out our crew mate!" The tan guy exclaimed as he raised a sword to me.
"I think we should take her to the captain and let her sort her out." The blonde replied raising his sword as well.
Completely ignoring them, I turn to the small pink haired kid and asked if he knew where any food was hidden.
"DON'T JUST IGNORE US!" The two exclaimed in unison as the pink haired kid gestured behind me to a door.
"It's probably in there, we are in the kitchen after all."
"DAMMIT COBY. WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAYS?!" The tan guy yelled, raising his sword up to strike Coby.
"Don't worry," The blonde haired guy reassured, "we can report him to the captain. Right now we have to deal with this female."
Both of them rushed at the same time towards me, swords raised ready to strike me down. I glared at the two men and timed it just right so I could hit the side of their swords with the back of my hand. As the blades broke in two and stabbed the wooden floor, the two crew mates stopped dead in their tracks and quickly grabbed their fallen comrade and scurried out the kitchen. Rubbing my hands together, I make my way into the pantry and find a heavenly array of food.
In between bites, I started to question this guy, Coby.
"So where am I?" I ask, mouth full with food.
"You're on a cruise ship, but it's currently being raided by Alvida and her pirate crew!" He exclaimed but quickly cover his mouth and lowered his voice, "Those pirate guys could be back any moment too, with reinforcements this time."
"Is there no meat on this ship? What kind of ship has no meat?!" I cry out in anger and despair as Coby tries to quiet me down.
"Did you not just hear a word I said?" He hissed through his teeth, "Alvida is here."
"So?" I reply pouting as I scour the area for more food.
"So she'll hear you!" Coby yelled while immediately covering his own mouth once more.
"I'll just beat her up then." I state as I open up a bag to find it filled with apples to the brim. Taking one, I bite a huge chunk out of it.
"Why are you here anyway. A ship with no meat wouldn't be a ship I'd like to raid." I say with a mouthful of apples.
"It's a stupid story…" The pink haired kid started bitterly, "I was fishing but got into the wrong boat and ended up as Alvida's cabin boy to survive…"
I laughed to the point I rolled onto my stomach and couldn't eat another bite.
"That," I huffed out the few words with every breath I could muster, "is pretty stupid."
"I didn't want to be a pirate!" Coby snapped as I calmed myself down, "I always dreamed of becoming a marine. Then I can get back at Alvida for making me her cabin boy."
"Then do it." I reply seriously as he looks up at me confused, "Follow your dream, become a marine."
"I-I could never…" The pink haired boy said softly but I could feel the longing in his heart, "So what brought you out here into the sea?"
I stopped eating and stood up straight and tall and marched up the steps to the door as I smirked.
"I'm going to become King of the Pirates."
"What?!" Coby cried out surprised, "B-but you're a female, wouldn't you be a queen?"
I chuckled softly, "Nah, King has a better ring to it don't you think?"
Coby nervously played with his hands as he replied quietly, "Well, yeah but…"
"But what?" I questioned, "I'm going to be King no matter what. No mercy just because I'm female."
The pink haired kid looked up at me with admiration. He was about to say something when a loud crashing and crackling noise rang throughout the small pantry. A hole began to form in the wooden ceiling as a fat lady fell through exclaiming, "Who's the most beautiful on the sea?"
The lady seemed pretty huge, I was surprised that the floor held her up on deck like that for so long. She had long black hair and a pure white hat atop her head with a frilly red feather sticking out of it. She wore a navy blue captain jacket with gold lining around the sides and a pink plaid shirt beneath it with a red necktie thing. She wore white jeans with a purple sash wrapped around her waist to hold her gun up with rings on almost all her fingers as she throws a spiked metal mace over her shoulder.
I stared at her puzzled.
"You are Lady Alvida!" I heard a unison of male voices ring out. As the dust cleared up she stared straight at me, eying me top to bottom.
Slowly processing what had just happened, I slowly raise a finger and point at the weird huge woman.
"Hey Coby…" I start slowly as the room is silent, "Who's this ugly fat sea cow?"
Everyone around me stops and gawks with mouths wide open.
"Ugly?..." The fat lady says slowly as her face darkens
She swings her mace instantly as I jump up out of the way in time as it smashed the wooden floor I had stood upon. Grabbing Coby by the collar of his shirt, I jump out through the hole in the ceiling while also landing on the deck surrounded by a good number of pirates. I smirked with joy as one finally charged at me, I could feel the adrenaline surge through me. I let go of Coby as I duck the below blow of the sword and start backing up. Dodging a good bit, I finally rear up and fight back. Reaching behind me, I grabbed a crew member who tried to sneak up on me and tossed him over to his crew mate, knocking them both out. Quickly turning, I punch the other pirate as six crew members gang up and all attack at once with a sword. Immediately, I jump up to evade while holding onto my hat as some of them get their swords stuck for a moment.
Coby stares at me, sparkles practically in his eyes as I smile widely at him and turn back to get into the fight. While the crew was distracted trying to get their swords out, I swiftly stretch out my leg and knock all of them off their feet. Taking out a whole group now, I sensed another large group behind me. Running about the deck I cried out, "Hey guys, it's unfair to gang up in a huge group like this onto one person!"
Running about I strike up a new plan and run past a mast to hold onto and kept running straight forward. The crew members all paused to gape at my arm length.
"Move men! She had devil fruit powers!" I heard one of them warn as they try to scatter before I use my move.
Smirking once again, I stopped running and flung myself back at them as they attempted to run the opposite way. Laughing hysterically- I always love fighting- I rammed into the crew knocking them all over the place. Coby approached me slowly, mouth opened with surprise.
"Y-you took out Alvida's w-whole crew…" He stammered as I gave him a wide smile.
"Yup." I replied with a thumbs up as I hear a clang hit the wooden deck. Turning my attention towards it, I see the fat woman slowly rising from the whole she made. Her face angrier as ever.
"Coby!" She snapped as the boy flinched behind me, "Who's the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"W-why it's…" The pink haired boy paused for a minute, debating what to say. He looked up at me as if I would give him his answer but instead I gave him a wide, bright smile. His attention turned back to the raven haired woman who rose up out of the hole, her mace swung over her shoulder.
"Not you!" Coby cried out with all his might, "You're the ugliest being on the sea! You're a fat sea king!"
Alvida stood in a daze as some crew members who pretended to be knocked out slowly raised their head yelling, "WHAT?!"
Alvida's face darkened as I chuckled at Coby's bold words. Her hands tightened around the mace as she slowly lifted it over her head. My laughing stopped as I readied for her attack. She swung her mace at me as Coby tried pulling me out of the way for safety. Seeing that I wouldn't move, Coby ducked down in fear as the mace hit me square on my head.
"Luffy!" Coby cried out as my smirk grew wider.
"That's not gonna work on me." I say as I stretch my arm out and wrap it around the handle of the mace, "You see, I ate the Gum Gum fruit. Now I'm made of rubber so no blunt attacks will affect me."
Yanking the mace from her clutches, I swing it far back over the ocean as everyone's eyes were on me. As soon as I thought it was at a good length, I let it bounce right back. Flying back as fast as a bullet, I let it go at the last second as it planted itself right into Alvida's stomach sending her flying out to sea. Turning back to the crew and Coby I asked, "Anyone else wanna take me on?"
A unison of heads shook right to left vigorously as I laughed in triumph. Reaching over I grabbed one of the conscious crew member's shirt near me and lifted him up in front of me. He grabbed my hands as I asked him, "Would you mind getting me all the meat you have aboard your ship?"
He nodded in agreement as I smiled widely, "Oh and get me and Coby a boat, we'll be heading off soon."
Coby looked up at me surprised, "Heading off?"
"Well yeah," I started as I placed down the guy who scurried off to meet my demands, "you wanted to be a marine right?"
"Yeah but the nearest marine base is Shells Town, and they just captured the pirate hunter swordsman Zoro not too long ago." Coby informed me as I thought about it.
A swordsman is what every pirate crew has, right?…
"A-and you want to be a pirate! You should avoid the marines! A-and someday w-we'll have to fight and I c-could kill you Luffy or vise-versa!"
"Calm down Coby." I say smiling, "We're friends now. Yeah we'll fight from time to time but there's no way you could ever kill me because I'm going to become King of the Pirates!"
"DON'T YOU MEAN QUEEN?!" The fallen crew mates exclaim together as I turn to them shouting and flailing my arms.
"NO. I mean KING. KING!" I cry out as they all scatter apologizing.
I turn my gaze back to Coby as I added, "Unless you want to board one of those marine ships over there," gesturing to a giant ship with white and blue sails not too far off, "I'm sure they would love to have you aboard."
Coby stood wide eyed watching the ship sail closer and closer towards us.
"OF COURSE THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ME RIGHT NOW I LOOK LIKE I'M STILL A PART OF ALVIDA'S CREW!" He said as he shook me by my vest's collar while I cocked my head to the side.
"Huh… Never thought of that." I reply bluntly, "But hey, at least the marines want you, right?"
I smile widely as Coby lets go of me and falls to the ground on his hands and knees, muttering how he'll never be a marine at this rate. I grab him by the neck of his shirt and haul him off to our getaway boat before the marine's ship gets any closer. Hopping into the boat, I smile and wave at all the pirate crew members and cut the line plummeting down to the ocean quite quickly. As we descended, Coby seemed to have gotten over excited and passed out from all the fun as I randomly set course to Shells Town to meet this famous swordsman.
After eating all the pillaged meat, Coby finally woke up as I spun the ship's wheel.
"So where are we now Luffy and how far until we reach Shells Town?" Coby asked as I looked him dead in his eyes, completely serious.
"I have no idea."
"Um… You have no idea how long until we get there or…"
"I have no idea where we are." I reply spinning the wheel again to an unknown location.
Coby gawked at me as he marched up and took over the wheel on the small boat.
"You're a pirate but you have no sense of direction?!" He exclaimed as I pouted.
"We'd get there eventually…"
With Coby now guiding the way to Shells Town we're sure to be there in no time flat! I gotta get a navigator as well as a swordsman... I'll worry about the navigator later for now it's time to get a swordsman!
I pose onto the front of the small boat, one foot propped onto the tip of the front as I extended my arm upwards like a cliché pirate pose people tend to think of. Would this make it not a cliché anymore or…
"Land dead ahead!" Coby cried out as he pointed in the direction. I jump up and down excitedly as he continues, "Seems you were lucky enough to even be headed remotely near to the island. If this even is Shells Island."
"It has to be, look at that giant marine base it has!" I exclaim as I watch Coby's expression burst with excitement.
It was a win-win for both of us, Coby got his dream to be a marine and I get my next crew member! I hope he's as strong as what I heard from the other pirates.
Please review what you guys think, this is my first time ever doing a One Piece story and I was kind of debating whether to post it or not. I always wanted to do a female Luffy story but I saw all the kinds of reviews for this kind of story and everyone seemed very particular about how it should be portrayed as. I don't mind criticism, I'd like to make this story a success but if it seems to similar to the original plot I'll scrap the whole story together. This has been revised over and over so if there is anything that seemed random I'm terribly sorry I'll fix it as soon as possible.
Well please review, every review helps whether it's criticism or just saying it was a good start or something.
