I do not own One Piece and I never will.
It was a beautiful party. Elegant, classy, and sophisticated everything a girl like me would want. I took a swallow of my champagne, letting the bubbles tickle my throat. I attempted to take in a breath and got a quarter of the amount of oxygen that I actually needed. This damn corset, its killing me. I wasn't getting the oxygen that I needed and I was battling lightheadedness. Of course at these fancy ass parties there is never anywhere to sit. I fanned my face delicately with my fan. Giving smiles to all the passerby like what was expected of me. I looked around and saw that I was alone. I leaned against a tree gasping for air like I really needed to. "Everyone, please gather around it is time for the main event." I straightened up and walked over to the main event, where the charity ball was taking place.
My boyfriend was the host of this party. He was holding an auction for charity, but in reality he was just trying to schmooze up to everyone here. I stood next to him at my designated position. My fan tip resting delicately on my chin, I had a coy look on my face. My arm rested gracefully on Edgar's. He smirked down at me. "Everyone please go around, there are some lovely items up for bid today. As always the person with the highest bid on the item gets the item. Please enjoy." He took my arm and lead me around the items up for auction. We gossiped and lied, we acted like we cared what the other people had to say. I had to act like I cared what Edgar had to say too.
When the bidding was over and we all announced who won each item, Edgar pulled me to his side on the main stage. "Now ladies and gentleman I ask that you indulge me a few moments of your time. I want all the people that I care about to witness this." He got down on one knee. I could feel my shock show on my face, by accident I let out a ton of my precious air. "Aria, my sweet and pleasant, Aria. I want you to be my one and only. I want you to be by my side forever more. Will you be my wife?" At this moment one of the items up for bid, a rare toucan from West Africa escaped his cage. He flew right at Edgar's head making this awful sound. He dive bombed at Edgar's head causing him to push me back and run away. I landed on my butt with an oomph. I rolled on to my hands and knees and got back up to my feet. I needed to find a quiet place and just breath. I had no oxygen left and my vision was blurring.
I grabbed onto a tree, gasping trying in vain to get some air. I fell to my knees then I saw a black spot in my line of vision. I thought it was just because of my lack of air. I felt like I was being sucked into the black hole. My eyes closed when I reopened them I was falling, the only thing around me was blue sky. I screamed and continued to scream as I fell. I saw water fast approaching it was a large expansive body of water. I saw a ship, small from my height but quickly growing in size as I got closer to the water. I felt my body hit the water knocking the remaining air, which wasn't much. I struggled in the water. The weight of my dress was dragging me down. I used all strength to try and kick myself up to the surface. My dress was getting heavier and I was sinking my kicks weren't doing anything. I tried to pull the dress off. The material soaked up water and it was making it impossible to tear. The zipper wasn't coming down.
My vision was getting dark. Was this the end? I felt my eyes close. Then it seemed like I was moving through the water. I had arms wrapped around my body and I was being lifted up, but it was like that part of me was moving me further and further away from my body. It was an out of body experience, I could hear voices from far away. "She isn't breathing! What do we do? Where is the doctor?" I heard another voice answer him saying "you are the doctor!" I felt another presence above me and I tried in vain to open my eyes. I felt some cold steel in between my breasts. Then there was air, sweet wonderful amazing air. I gasped it in and coughed up some water. I opened my eyes and looked up into some dark steely grey ones. "Thank you" I said still gasping. He gave me a smirk that reminded me of Edgar. He held out a hand helping me to sit up. I held my dress to my chest so that my boobs didn't fall out. When I was sitting up I saw the strangest sight of all, there were 10 different people all around. One who was a blonde man who was on the floor of the deck he was bleeding profusely out of his nose. There was a man with green hair and a scar over one eye. He was dripping wet and leaning against the cabin wall of the ship. There was a beautiful woman with dark brown hair she was sitting next to a woman with long red hair. They were watching me with concern on their faces. There was a little reindeer with a top hot on his head. He was super cute. There was a man who was hiding behind the mast he had a large nose, that was one of the only things that I could see. There was a man, robot thing? Who was striking a pose and saying "super awesome, she is awake!" Next to him there was a skeleton with an afro. He was laughing an odd laugh Yo ho ho "may I see your panties?" He asked me. Then a man with a huge smile and a straw hat on his head knocked the skeleton guy over and said "I'm Luffy, I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"
I clutched my dress tighter to my body, there were two options. I was either dead or I was dreaming, because for some odd reason I landed smack dab in the middle of One Piece. Nami came over and put her arm around my shoulders. "Come on let's go get you changed. Wow is that real?" She grabbed my hand that was holding my dress shut and pulled my wrist to her eyes. She was examining my gold and sapphire bracelet. Her taking away my hand made my dress fall open, which exposed a large part of my breasts. Sanji had more blood rush from his nose. I blushed and closed my dress with my other hand. The one that Law used to help me up. "Oh sorry, well come on." Nami said while dragging me away.
She led me into a very nice room with two beds in it. She sat me down on one of the beds. She was looking through her closet, she would pull out an outfit and look at it then look at me. She then would end up putting the outfit back into the closet. She finally pulled out some shorts and a cute red tank top. She pulled out a bra too and from the size of her breasts it was an old bra, as it was much too small for her. She handed me the clothes and sat on the other bed and waited while I got dressed. I slipped my corset off and Nami took it from me and looked at it. "What is this thing?" She asked holding it upside down. "It's a corset, also known as a torture device that constricts your breathing, and it pushes your boobs up to your chin. It also makes you appear slimmer." Nami was looking at it with distaste. "Why did you wear it then?" I adjusted the shorts and the shirt. "It was a special occasion, and my boy" I paused looking at the ring on my left hand. "Um my fiancé, asked me to."
Nami led me back out to the main deck. Brooke was up on his feet again as was Sanji. Sanji ran over to me and grabbed both of my hands pulling them to his mouth. He kissed them, "my angel who fell from heaven above. My dearest, most darling beauty." I felt my cheeks turn pink. Brooke rushed forward. "May I see your panties?" I laughed at him "well since this is a dream" I pulled the shorts down a little bit on the side. I pulled my panties above the line of my shorts. I let Brooke see a generous amount of my black lacy panties. Which caused him to faint. It also caused Sanji to bleed profusely out of his nose again. Chopper rushed forward to check on him. Luffy laughed and rushed over putting an arm around my shoulders. "Your funny, what's your name?" The entire crew besides Zoro was crowding around me. I was thrown off base and was a little uncomfortable with all the attention. "My name is Aria." I replied to his question. "Why were you falling out of the sky?" Zoro was asking. "I don't really know" I responded meeting his eyes. "One minute I was having difficulty breathing, I was at some stupid party. Then I was falling through the air. Thinking that I was going to die. Then I landed in the water where I was convinced I was going to die. Who saved me from the water?" Zoro raised his hand indicating that he was the one responsible. "Thank you, I appreciate it." He shrugged it off. Luffy laughed again and picked me up and carried me to the front of the boat. The action was so shocking that I grabbed his head in response as I was afraid that he would drop me. His face was pushed into my chest. I pushed him away from me and he was a little red looking. He set me down on my feet. "That's Zorro, Nami, Robin, Franky, Chopper, Usopp, and Sanji. Oh ya and that Tra guy." With each name he gestured to the person as he said their names. I waved at them all in turn, of course I already knew all their names. I was an avid fan of the show, I wasn't able to watch it as much as I liked because Edgar and my parents disliked it.
I was going to do something that I have always wanted to do, since this was a dream and all. I walked over to Luffy and I grabbed his cheek and pulled it out, it was amazing really. I watched it stretch out the length of my arm and when I released it, it snapped back into its original position. Causing Luffy to yell "hey" at me. I giggled "sorry I have always wanted to do that." Law stepped forward, "you have always wanted to do that? How did you even know that he is a rubber man?" I gave him a Law like smirk. "I know a lot of about everyone here, thanks to the awesome show One Piece. I know that Luffy wants to be the King of the Pirates, and that the hat that he is wearing was bequeathed to him by red haired Shanks. I know that Nami is the best navigator ever, and that her dream is to make a map of the world. Zoro wants to be the best swordsman and has been training under Hawk-eye Mihawk for the past two years. Robin is an archeologist and she has the hana hana no mi fruit. I know about Cyborg Franky and is SUPER need for cola, and his SUPER shipbuilding abilities. Usopp is a sniper and a liar. Chopper is a great doctor with a love for cotton candy. Sanji is a fantastic cook, and legs of steel."
I winked at Sanji who blushed and fell to the ground in a blood puddle. "Brooke is the musician of the straw hats with a panty obsession. Law is the captain of the Heart pirates and his first mate is an outrageously cute polar bear named Bepo." Law glared at me and I felt my body freeze, wow this dream was turning into a nightmare very quickly. I squealed as Law had his throat around my throat, "have you been spying on me and my crew?" I shook my head unable to talk, I was really worried now though because the pressure that Law was applying hurt, so that means that it isn't a dream. It's not a dream and I just pissed off one of the most powerful characters in the entire show. I was going to die. All the sudden Law let me go and jumped back.
Sanji was standing in front of me. "I will never let you hurt a lady." I coughed and cleared my throat. "I am sorry; I promise that I wasn't spying on you. This is going to sound completely crazy but I am from a different world. A world where all of you are characters on a t.v. show. A show that started out as a manga and then became popular all over the world. I think I can prove it", I saw that my purse was on the deck of the ship. It must have fallen on their when I fell in the water. I walked over to it and opened it thankfully my tablet was still inside and it wasn't broken. I had some episodes of One Piece saved on it. I sat on the deck and let the first episode play as everyone gathered around me. When the episode was over everyone was silent for a few moments. Then Luffy summed it up perfectly, as he so often does. "So she's a mystery woman." This caused me to laugh.
The tension was now gone thanks to the stretchy captain. I stood up and let Law have my tablet as he wanted to study the mysterious device. I stood there unsure of what to do know. I looked around and didn't see any islands around us. "What is the next island on route?" I asked Nami. She looked over at Law he nodded his consent. "We are going to Dressrosa, it will still be a few days but once we get there we can drop you off, maybe you can get a boat. Could you go back to where you came from, with a boat?" I shook my head, "I really don't know, but it is worth a try." I said smiling at Nami. "We won't be there for about two weeks." I nodded "thank you for your help, oh and take this." I slipped my bracelet off and handed it to Nami. Her eyes changed right in front of me to Berry signs. "Welcome aboard angel. You must be famished with your traumatizing experience. First falling out of the sky and then being threatened. I am sure that the most traumatizing experience of all was being pulled out of the water by that Marimo." He shook his head at the thought. Zoro rushed over, "what did you say, your shitty cook?" They fought in front of me, the swords and the legs were flying. I took a few steps back.
Chopper, Usopp questioned me about my world as Law, Robin, and Luffy listened in. Luffy clapped his sandaled feet together. "Chopper's it." He yelled and tapped Chopper on the shoulder, he then ran away in the opposite direction. Chopper laughed and tagged Usopp but he turned around and then tapped my shoulder. "Aria's it!" He ran away laughing. I watched as the three ran tripping over themselves. I got up and chased them, when in Rome do as the Romans do. I chased after Usopp knowing that he was the weakest link of the three. He shot something out of his slingshot at me. I ducked it but it was a smoke bomb. I stumbled around through my smoke trying to find a way out. Then I ran straight into someone else. I felt some arms wrap around me as we fell onto the ground. Once the smoke cleared I found myself looking up into Luffy's eyes. His were shocked, I disentangled myself from him, then I tapped him on the shoulder. "Your it Luffy." I got up and wondered back over to Robin and Nami.
They were sitting down sunning themselves. Nami had changed into a swimsuit and some sunglasses. Robin was reading a novel. She had a drink in her hand. I sat next to Nami on the deck. Within seconds Sanji was in front of me and serving me a tropical drink. "Here a drink to cool the hot day for the very hot lady." I blushed at the compliment. I wasn't sure what I should do on board of this ship, I mean I could keep playing with Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp but I felt like I needed to be helpful. Once I finished my drink I went to see if Sanji needed any help in the kitchen. When I opened the door I must have startled Sanji because he almost dropped the plates that he was holding. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I was just coming to see if I could help with anything. I mean you all have been so nice to me. Can I do some dishes; I can't cook anything but I could chop some vegetables." Sanji's mouth had fallen open, his cigarette was dangerously close to falling out of his mouth.
"My angel, I couldn't ever let you lift a finger. You might ruin your precious skin." This answer was really similar to the ones that I received growing up, that it made me a little upset. I took a few steps closer to Sanji. "Please Sanji, I really want to help out around here. I want to be your friend. I want to be everyone's friend. I want to be able to do something to help out to make it a little bit easier for everyone." Sanji came over and patted my shoulder, "of course we will like you. Your already my friend, my angel. Here though I would love some company while I prepare dinner. Sit here and tell me more about yourself." Sanji positioned me at the table, I sat there and listened as Sanji told me about his past, and his dream to see the all blue. I told him about my world in more detail. I left out the personal details though.
Sanji placed some food in front of me and I tasted it for him. It was amazing. "This is the best food that I have ever had. You are an amazing chef." At the moment we could hear the scream of "MEAT" coming from down the hall. The next second Luffy threw himself into the kitchen. "Feed me Sanji!" He sat next to me, he was immediately eyeing the food on the plate in front of me. I offered to share, I slid the plate over to Luffy. His face lit up with joy. HE picked the entire plate up and dumped all the food into his mouth at once and began chewing. It was really similar to the anime but they left out a very important thing. The sounds of him chewing was one of the most disgusting thing I have ever heard. I couldn't help it I started laughing. I was laughing so hard that tears actually coming out of my eyes. Sanji turned around and gave Luffy a death glare. "Don't eat my angel. Aria's food." Luffy gave him a pout. Sanji went to hit Luffy with a ladle. I blocked the ladle with my hand. It left a sharp welt. Sanji fell to the floor, "I hit a lady, I am a disgrace." I rolled my eyes and patted Sanji on the head "my fault, my arm got in the way. I am the one who gave the food to Luffy. Don't be upset either one of you. I patted Luffy on the head too." Then I started giggling at the picture we made. Then Sanji seeing why I was laughing started laughing too. Then Luffy started laughing too.
This was the happiest I had been in a long time. The rest of the crew wondered in to see all three of our smiles. Zoro and Law both raised their eyebrows up at us. Nami and robin gave me some friendly smiles. Franky was yelling super and striking a pose. Brooke was laughing in the Yo ho ho way that he does. Chopper had some chopsticks in his nose. I laughed even harder, Luffy threw an arm over my shoulder and pulled me closer to him and we both laughed. It was the best meal that I have ever had. Nami and Robin's keens eyes were watching how Luffy's arm was still on my shoulder. Nami smirked over at Robin, who gave her a smile in return. After dinner there was some drinking, a lot of drinking on Zoro's part. Luffy and Usopp were dancing together. After a few hours I got up and walked outside taking a deep breath of air. I enjoyed the beautiful sight. This wasn't something that I would be able to see in my world. There was miles and miles of beautiful waves nothing but ocean and sky. The ocean was dark and mysterious but not as dark as the sky. What truly made it beautiful was how brilliantly the stars stood out. Instead of just being able to see some I could see all of them and they were all so bright.
I laid down on the deck just looking up at the beauty that was before me. After a few minutes of star gazing I was joined by Law. He sat down next to me. He didn't bother looking up at the sky like I was. "Did you see if I defeated him?" I didn't have to ask who he was talking about. "I didn't Law; I am behind on the series I wasn't able to watch it as much as I would have liked to. I only saw the first episode of the Dressrosa arc. I'm sorry." He shook his head not saying anything. We just sat in silence for a few moments together. After some more time Luffy came out and sat next to me. He sat on the opposite side that Law did. He laid down on his back like I was. I heard the sounds of everyone else going to bed. I wondered where I was going to sleep, probably with Nami and Robin. I am sure that they would be fine with it, they really were very nice. Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear. Nami approached me and gave me the invitation of sharing her and Robin's room, to which I gladly accepted.
While I was talking to Nami, Law took his leave. Leaving me alone with just Luffy. Luffy was really good company. He was funny and could make you laugh with no problem. He is also good for moments like this. Just sitting and relaxing and enjoying the moment. Luffy turned and looked at me giving me one of his trademark grins. He sat up and handed me something. I took it and to my complete confusion it was a piece of chocolate. "Thanks Luffy. Do you want it?" He shook his head, "no I got it for you." I broke the piece of chocolate in half and handed him part of it. I then ate the other part that he gave me. Humming with satisfaction when the chocolate touched my tongue. Luffy slowly put the chocolate in his mouth. Then he sat back down on his back looking back up at the stars. "Thanks for the chocolate, Luffy. I am going to call it a night. Have a goodnight, and thanks again for letting me stay on the ship with all of you." Luffy nodded at me and then I left walking into the girl's room was exactly the opposite of what I expected. I expected that the girls would already been asleep and I would quietly sneak in and get into the bed. Nami and Robin were not sleeping at all. In fact, they were awake and they were waiting for me. As soon as I walked into the bedroom the door closed seemingly on its own. Then there were arms around me. I was shoved down onto a bed. "Spill it" Nami said. I raised my eyebrow at her, "spill what exactly?" Nami rolled her eyes and Robin laughed. "Spill things that were going on with you and Luffy? He brought you food?! I dint think you realize how much of a big deal this really is." I shrugged "he brought me a piece of chocolate, it was nice of him." Robin released me from her extra limbs. "This is quite extraordinary. Luffy is unyielding when it comes to food. I would be very interested in seeing where this relationship progress to in the next few days." Nami nodded "oh ya, especially with our help." Robin gave her a grin, I frowned at the both of them. "I don't know what you two are talking about. Where am I sleeping exactly?"
I laid down where they pointed, and tried to not think about Luffy, I mean I know that he wasn't attracted to me or anything. I mean this was LUFFY, if a man could be asexual he would be. Then unfortunately Edgar came to my mind. I could just imagine what he was doing right now. He would probably be tearing the world apart trying to find me. I could just picture him yelling at cops, and then at our mutual friends. I hope that he didn't hurt anyone. I knew that he could really be a monster. I sighed and lifted up my left hand and looked at my ring finger. The giant rock on my hand was beautiful, but it seemed cold. I rested my hand on my stomach and let my eyes close. I let my body relax and fall into a deep sleep.
