Hello, I would just like to inform you that this story had two parts one in my point of view and the other from my friend's point of view. My friends will be on her account which is One Piece Fan Forever I would appreciate it if you would check her's but you won't miss anything if you don't.
My best friend and I were at my Grandparent's house having a sleepover. We were laughing and having a good time acting like idiots. In the background we had our favorite anime, One Piece, playing. We stopped laughing to catch our breath.
"What if we lived in the One Piece world?" Christa suggested, I laughed.
"Do you realize how quickly one of us would die? Knowing you, you'd somehow get someone pissed off at us, I don't feel like dying thank you very much!" She laughed
"Yeah, and if we lived with Ace, Sabo, and Luffy you'd be Ace's twin!" She commented.
"And you'd be Luffy's twin, you'd follow him around like a lost puppy, even as he'd be eaten by a crocodile, and I don't have anger issues like him, I'm more like Sabo." We laughed.
Soon we both fell asleep as it was 2 am and we had been playing around since Christa had gotten to my house. At around 3 a large storm blew in causing the power to go out. Lighting hit the internet box causing something strange to happen.
I woke up to the sound of glass shattering and what sounded like metal clashing. Opening my eyes the first thing I noticed was that I could see clearly without my glasses. the second thing I noticed was that the air smelled a lot like alcohol, the last thing I noticed was that when I tried to move it was as if I had fifty-pound weights strapped to my limbs. Looking around I caught a glimpse of my arms and the person next to me I started cursing. The only thing that came out though was incoherent babbling and then screaming.
Why was I screaming? Well, I was in the body of a two-year-old and I was laying next to another two-year-old who soon woke up to my screaming and started screaming herself.
Through our combined screaming I didn't hear the door open. I didn't know someone had come in until I heard a soft voice coming from above me. Looking up I came face to face with Shakky from One Piece. I stopped my screaming for a moment, and then I started screaming even louder. Soon a man with graying hair and round glasses came to stand next to Shakky, it was Rayleigh he was smiling. Suddenly a gentle wave of power came over me and I stopped screaming. For some strange reason I felt like laughing but what came out was some sort of gurgle that developed into a giggle, the other girl was doing the same.
"How are you able to do that every time, I swear you're a baby whisperer to Iris and Ivy, Rayleigh." Shakky turned to Rayleigh giving him a kiss.
He laughed," I guess I'm just a ladies man," Shakky gave him a playful hit.
"Oh, go do something useful and clean the bar." She pushed him and he raised his hands in defeat leaving the room.
Shakky shook her head. Turning back to the two of us she picked us up and carried us to a large play pin before leaving.
I sat there for a moment staring at the other girl who stared back. But it was only for a moment before as the girl started playing with some of the blocks on the floor. I decided to do the same as I had nothing else to do.
I kept an eye on the other girl and after a while, she started to remind me of Christa and since I think this is a dream it wouldn't hurt to try.
I threw a block at her to gain her attention and once she turned to me I tried my best to speak coherent words.
"You, Chriss... Chriss taa?" I cringed at how bad it sounded.
She looked surprised as she nodded her head.
"Maarii?" It was drawn out and a little awkward but it was my name.
I nodded happily throwing my hands in the air.
Five Days Later
It was the fifth night, Rayleigh had gone to gamble that day and Shakky had put the two down for the night and went to bed herself. In their time there they learned their given names Christa's was Iris and Mary was Ivy. On this night, however, something sinister was happening just outside the Rip Off Bar. Two men dressed in all black snuck into the home and went straight for the two children sleeping peacefully in their shared bed.
I woke up to someone lifting me out of bed. It was still dark but I knew that the person holding me wasn't Shakky or Rayleigh. I was about to cry out when the person holding me out a piece of cloth in my mouth and quickly left. I could see them carrying Christa who was still sleeping soundly. I squirmed as much as I could all the way to what looked to be the auction house. I felt my blood run cold as we were carried into the back room and forced into one cage. As they locked the cage Christa woke up, she looked around confused at first but it slowly turned to fear.
"Well, since both of you are awake I might as well tell you, you're going to be slaves in two days time so I would behave yourselves." The man who spoke walked away laughing.
Seven in the morning at the Rip Off Bar
Shakky woke up and got out of bed she was about to go and check on the girls when she noticed the window was open when it hadn't been the night before. She ran into the girls' room and almost let out a scream when she didn't see her two girls in bed. She went on a mad search around the house but found nothing of the two. She got dressed as quickly as she could and left the bar. She slammed the door shut causing the closed sign to fall on the ground.
Shakky ran through the grove heading as fast as she could to the closest casino knowing Rayleigh would be there. Once the casino was in sight she slowed down, composing herself before she entered. As soon as she walked in she headed to Rayleigh who was at the slot machines again. He noticed she was there and he most likely could tell that she was panicked.
"We've got a big problem. The girls' are missing." Shakky whispered in Rayleigh's ear her voice shaky from panic.
Nine hours earlier with the girls
I was staring at the floor shaking, I was panicking but then again who wouldn't I mean it's not every day you get kidnapped to be sold as a slave and I'm like two so it gives the excuse. But I'm mentally fifteen I need to pull myself together I'm Silvers Rayleigh's kid for fuck's sake. I took a deep breath in and let it out slowly, I looked up and saw that Christa wasn't faring much better than myself. She had tears running down her cheeks and she was hugging herself while rocking back and forth, she looked up at me and I saw the raw fear in her eyes. I scooted over to her and hugged her rubbing circles on her back.
"W-will Ray-Ray c-come?" She tried to ask through her sobs.
I honestly didn't know I didn't want to lie to her though," I don know bu I not sittin around until ten," I told her still not great at speaking since I didn't really try to.
I let go of her and began looking around the cage, to my luck I found a small pin on the ground a few inches away from the cage. I stuck my hand through the bars and grabbed the pin. I didn't know how to pick a lock but I'd be damned if I didn't try, moving over to the front of the cage I was about to start trying to pick the lock when I felt Christa tap on my shoulder.
"What are you doing?" She asked sniffling.
"I'm going to try and pick the lock," I muttered sticking my tongue out in concentration as I fiddled with the lock.
After a few minutes of struggling Christa spoke up," Do you even know how to pick a lock?" She moved closer to me trying to see what I was doing.
"Nope." I told her 'popping' the P childishly.
Just as she was about to say something the lock let out a satisfying click as it opened. I removed the lock and opened the cage door and crawled out. Christa came after and started following me as I made my way down the hall.
"Do you know where you're going?" She whispered nervously.
"No, but if we can find the stage then we can get out." My voice was shaky and so was my body but I somehow managed to walk quietly," Keep a look out behind us I don't want someone to sneak up on us." I whispered to her and she nodded.
We walked along the wall occasionally we would see a slave hunter bringing in more people thankfully they were too preoccupied to notice us. After a few close calls, I could see the stage through a door but luck was not on our side right now.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Two escapees huh, we can't have that now can we." We both froze at the sound of the sound of the bastard's voice who had locked us up in the first place," Bart, give them two lashes and locked them up with cuffs this time." A large came up from behind us a large black whip in his hands.
"Sure thing."
