Hi there! this is my new One Piece story! just a little idea that came to me, you gotta love the plot bunnies :D
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN OP! Oda Sensei does!
so onto the first chapter!
"Mugiwara! I will take your bounty! The 100 million beri bounty is mine! Nyahahaha!"
The rather chubby, red-faced bounty hunter screamed confidently at the Strawhat pirates. His many followers were already boarding their ship Merry-Go, drawing their weapons.
"Oi, Marimo wanna see who can take down the most hunters?"
Zoro smirked arrogantly at the question
"Only if your up to it Dart-board brow"
The two men easily took out about half of the enemies crew with their attacks, causing the rest of the crew (Nami, Chopper and Usopp) to let out a sigh of relief. Robin continued to sip at her coffee. These enemies were push-over's and their assistance would not be needed in this fight. The only person who wasn't happy was the captain.
"Zoro! Sanji! You meanies! Don't leave me out! I wanna beat them up too!"
"Well hurry up then!" came the reply from the other side of the deck.
"Gomu-Gomu noooo gataling gun!" the energetic captain easily punched several enemies off the side of the ship as he smirked confidently, before a deep voice spoke out from behind him.
"Your open, Mugiwara"
"Luffy! Watch out!"
The bounty hunter leader had taken his opportunity while Luffy was distracted to crawl across the deck, behind Luffy and snap a kairoseki handcuff around one of his ankles.
"Ah! Teme! Gomu-Gomu no….haaaaaahhhhh" The pirate captain dramatically sunk to the floor, quickly being drained of his power.
"That idiot!"
Shocked the whole crew immediately turned to face the bounty hunter, ready to take him on and rescue their captain, but before they could do anything the man placed a glowing hand on Luffy's head making him pass out.
"Kahaha! Now witness the powers of the Toshi-Toshi no Mi! How many years shall he lose?"
"A devil fruit!?"
"Hmmm….How about 4? No, too small… 7? Wait, 10 is a good number. Yeah 10"
"What the hell is he on about?"
"Let go of Luffy!" Zoro growled dangerously before leaping forward slashing his katanas at the man, who was forced to take his hand away from Luffy's head to dodge. Seeing that most of his crew was gone he quickly retreated to the safety of his own ship.
"I will be back one day for your bounty Mugiwara! Mark my words!" He screamed as his ship started to sail away. Sanji, Zoro, Nami and Chopper all ran to the edge of Merry to go after the bounty hunter but were stopped by some of Robin's arms that had barred their way.
"Damn Onna! Let me through!"
"Take that back Moss-head! Robin-chwan is perfect in every way!"
"It seems as though Captain-san is going through some kind of transformation and may be in need of some medical assistance" Robin explained to the crew. Chopper gasped and ran to Luffy's side to examine him before stopping dead in his tracks.
"Guys! Help! Robin was right! We need a doctor!"
"You're a doctor" Usopp kindly pointed out
"But its just kairoseki right?"
"N-no Luffy, he…he's shrinking!"
"What!?"
The crew followed Chopper to their captain's side to see that he was indeed getting smaller. Eventually, when Luffy stopped shrinking he looked like a child and his ankle was small enough to simply slip out of the restraint. He looked very young, probably about 7 years old.
"N-no way…"
"I believe it was our enemies devil fruit powers that he mentioned…how interesting"
"How can you be so calm Robin!?"
"Oh yeah…he said something about 10 years…"
"Luffy looks like he's gotten 10 years younger! That has to be it!"
"So the guy had a devil fruit that can take away years of your life, hmmm, that makes sense"
"S-so, what do we do?"
Zoro gave a heavy sigh, "We can think about that later, but it probably involves finding that Toshi-Toshi guy" He scooped up the tiny Luffy in his arms, surprised at how light he was and let Chopper lead him to the medical bay.
