So first chapter of the rewrite, I hope you guys like it. Pairing wise I'm probably going to make Luffy more of a brother than a love interest so sorry for that guys :\ but officially I don't have a clue who I want her to end up with.

So yea, I'm currently half way through the 3rd chapter and it a pain and I'm dreading the fourth cuz the dialogue and battle scenes are a pain to rewrite but I'm getting there... 2nd chapter should be up in an hr or so and there'll be a bit of a delay for the 3rd... 4th I have no idea when that'll be up but it should be done in a few hours if I just sit down and get it done...

But yea, Enjoy :)


Ahh, I love weekends… Love the sleeping in, the no school, and no need to wake up before noon… Can it get any better? Sweet sweet sleep. How blissful you are. Cuddling my blanket closer I sigh as I relax to go back to sleep…

…. Wasn't it Wednesday yesterday…. Jerking up right and looking sharply to my left I groan as one, kink my neck and two, notice it isn't the weekend. Rubbing my neck to ease the pain, I lay back down to mentally prepare myself for the torment that's going to occur by going to school today. Going to school is such a hassle when you're me. My name is Vivien De Haven, I'm 17 and I'm one of the 'not cool kids'. Not really anyone of importance to the rest of school. I'm probably the most average person in the school. Which that in itself is rather surprising if you thought about it. Out of thousands of kids I'm the most average. The only good thing is that it really easy to blend into crowds and to get away from people.

Sighing in reluctance and acceptance that I have to get out of bed, I stretch out my legs and arms… Well, I try to stretch out my legs. It seems that a Battleship as positioned themselves in between my knees.

Sitting up slowly and slouching over, I drag Battleship towards me and cuddle the heebeegeebee's outta him. Such a cute kitty, such a shame that he weights a bloody tonne, otherwise I'd wear him like a scarf. Chuckling at his expense, Battleship glares at me before going back to lay down from where I took him. Chucking the blankets over him and getting a slight "Mrow!" in protest I stand up a stretch and finally look over at the clock on the wall. What's the time mister wolf? 8 o'clock.

8 O'CLOCK?! Shyt. Running around the room, quickly pulling on a pair of jeans and a hoodie I curse at myself for being late. "MOM! I NEEED FOOOOOOOD!" I rush down the stairs, almost tripping over the Battleship that decided to cross my path. "Damnit cat! Outta the way!" Storming into the kitchen I see mom calmly cutting up food to eat later in the day. "Mooommmm… Feeeeeeeddd meeeeeeee." I slouch over the counter and stare up at her with puppy eyes.

"You're not Audrey the Second Vivien. Have some of the watermelon" Watermelon? We didn't have any watermelon here yesterday, otherwise it'd be gone already into mah tummy.

"Watermelon?" I open the fridge and stop the so called 'watermelon'.

"Yea, the old lady across the road." Mother dearest, this 'watermelon' aint green and it has blue swirls all over it.

I deadpan pulling the watermelon out and cutting it into pieces, "You mean the creepy old lady that sits on her rocking chair all day and stars through our window? That creepy lady?" Mom wacks me over the head and shakes her head at my attics. Taking a large bite of the juicy fruit I – Oh god why me, oh god it so disgusting. Gagging at the taste, I accidentally swallow some before trying to wash the taste out of my mouth with some orange juice. "Oh god why. Mom, never, and I mean NEVER, eat any of the fruit from the creepy old lady from across the road." I poke my tongue out in disgust of the taste before taking a bite of an apple.

"You know those apples are from her as well." What.

"NO! She has infected my precious apples" I despair over the fruits and mom sighs and ushers me out the door.

"You better get going, it's already 8:15 and you can't be late to school again and I'll get another call from administration." Handing me my bag, mom just shoo's me away. Grabbing my bag and waving goodbye, also avoiding looking at the creepy lady and headed down the road towards school. Holding my tummy when it started to make funny noises. I swear, if that old lady poisoned me, I'm gonna haunt the shit outta her. Looking around me, I look at all the average houses, it's kinda scary actually. Reminds me of Harry Potter and the suburb of Surrey. It's really creepy how alike all those houses were… As I approach the school I notice my friend Helen standing outside the gates looking at her watch. Smirking as I approach, she didn't notice me until I was right in front of her.

"JESUS CHRIST! Damn it Vivien! You have got to stop doing that! And you're almost late! You've been cutting it really close lately." Giggling slightly I just nod and gesture towards the gates.

"Well then, we should probably check into home room then." After giving me a look that practically scream 'I really REALLY want to strangle you sometimes', we walk inside the building and head towards class.

"So why were you so late today?"

"Couldn't sleep. Kept thinking about that creepy old lady across the street, sitting in her rocking chair as she just stares blankly into the windows. Gives me nightmares man." I exaggerate a shiver which causes Helen to laugh. "I'll see you later Helen, I gotta tell you about this fruit she gave mom this morning." Waving Helen off as the bell rings I head towards home room.

Quietly walking into my home room to avoid a lecture from my teacher Mr Winter about being late and the problems it causes, I sit down in my normal sit at the back of the room in the corner. Sitting down I wrap my arm around my stomach as it churns, I stare out the window and space out. Zoning back in when the bell rings for first period, I get the feeling that today is going to be a really long day.

When I finally get to my locker to pick up my books for my next class, I feel like my stomach is about to burst. The churning that has been happening all morning has just been getting worse and worse as the day goes on. Makes me wonder if mom tried it or is going to try it…. Doubtful, she probably was using me as a guinea pig this morning to see it if was edible. Sighing at the vengeful thoughts at pay back towards my mother, I head towards my next class, swiftly avoiding the big jocks of the school.

Sitting down softly in my chair to try and ease my stomach, I pull at my art book that has all my personal drawings in it. Flipping through the pages I see a history of all the fan art I had drawn for things that I had been obsessed with in the past. Animes and TV series are all in here. Things like Trigun, Pandora Hearts to Gantz. And my personal favourite, One Piece. Like man, the amount of sexiness that that show has? It's ridiculous. Like daaayyyuuummmm sooonnn, have you seen Law when he isn't wearing a skirt and his hat? Like Hawt Dayum!

Giggling softly to myself at my antics, I groan suddenly when a sharp pain comes from my stomach. "Are you alright Vivien? You don't look too good." That's my art teacher, Ms Vellar. She is such a sweet heart. Makes me doubt that she's been teaching for so long 'cause she's so nice. Definitely my favourite teacher I've ever had. Well… Besides my first year teacher that let me sleep on the inflatable penguin we had in class…

"I ate an inedible watermelon that came from the crazy old lady across the road from my house. I think she is trying to kill me."

"Vivien! That's not a nice thing to say about old ladies. They're just getting on in age and you just have to accept that some of them aren't… all there anymore." Definitely 'not all there anymore', that's for sure. She's probably some sociopath that no one realises. "Why don't you go take a nap over in the sickbay. I'm sure that Miss Hewitt wouldn't mind." You Ms, are the best.

"Thanks Ms, I owe you one." Taking the sick bay slip from her, I quickly pack up my stuff and head towards the other end of the school to get to bloody sick bay. Rubbing my forehead, I feel like I've gotten a migraine. This is extrememly unpleasant. I actually think that the fruit may have been really really bad decision to eat this morning. Who knew it would make me feel so unwell. I mean, I never get sick! Dropping my bag on the ground I tilt over slight to lean against the wall to right and stabilize myself, I just keep falling. Curling up slightly, wrapping my arms around my head, I wait for the moment of impact with the ground. Because there has to be a ground… Right?...

A soft breeze rushes around me and it make me realise that I'm not wearing clothes anymore. My body sudden starts aching all over and I cry out slightly as if it feels like my whole body is rebuilding itself. I just want the pain to stop. I feel tears run down my cheeks when I suddenly feel what seems like a fingertip press against my forehead. The last thing I hear before I black out is one word.

"Remember."


Groaning, I feel like my chest is being compressed under a tonne of weight. Slowly opening my eyes, I can't see anything. Groaning again, I rub my eyes when I suddenly take notice of the blacked out shape above me. Blinking a few times, the shape finally comes into focus and I feel that my heart has stopped. I have to be dreaming. This can't be real. I've died and gone to heaven.

"Hey, you're finally awake" The face above me grins that smile that just makes your heart want to stop. Still in doubt of the situation and that this is actual reality, I just blush lightly and smile at the figure above me.

"Shishishishishi… What you doing in the middle of the ocean?" Sweet mother of Jesus, I thank thee Lord that I was able to hear that laugh in person. Finally registering that I should probably reply, I finally speak to the cutie above me.

"Um.. I- I don't actually know how I got here…" I pause in my praising of the Lord, I finally try and remember how I got here. So I ate an icky fruit, got sick, got sent to sickbay, didn't make it to sick bay when I passed out and fell through the wall, and the aching and the nakedness and one word… Remember… Wait, nakedness?!

Looking down, I'm relieved to find that I'm fully clothed in new clothes that I had never owned before. Despite being wet, I notice that I'm wearing a plain blank dark grey tank top, with blood red short shorts on as well as a pair of boots that have straps wrapped around them that come up to my knees. Seeing a sword handle besides me I glance over and see a beautiful sword next to my left hand which makes me recoil slightly in shock. I didn't have a tattoo before I came here. Where did it come from… Noticing that to goes from my shoulder to my hand, I try to see if I can remember anything new. Not having any idea where to start, nothing new comes up beside a few glimpse of different people from One Piece.

"My name's Monkey D. Luffy. What's yours?" Luffy, you are like the most adorable person ever.

"Um, my name's Haven De Vivien, it's a pleasure to meet you Luffy." Thank god I remembered to reverse my name, god that would've been awkward if he started called me Haven… Luffy reaches down and grabs my hand and pulls me up. Ahh whaatttt! I'm shorter than him?! But I'm older…. I pout in protest to this.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm shorter than you" I continue to pout up at him. Luckily it isn't that much of a difference. Only an inch or two. But still! Unfair.

"Shishishishishishi… So, you don't know why you're out here?" I shake my head and look around. Sea, sea, sea, more sea, whirlpool, sea, sea, sea… wait. Whirl pool… Well… this is about to get interesting.

"Oi, Vivien, what's the matter?"

"Umm… Would you protest to the demolition of this boat because we are about to get sucked into a whirlpool."

"Shishishishishi. Don't worry, we'll be fine"

"Bu- Luffy! It's a bloody whirlpool! What are we going to do?!"

"Shishishishishishishi You're so funny. I have this barrel that we can use" Ah, the legendary barrel scene… This is going to be interesting with two people…

"So… How is this going to work? There's only one barrel but there's two of us. How are we both going to fit?"

"I'll sit down first and you can sit in my lap shishishishishi" Ahhh Luffy you are such a cutey pie. Boa is going to be soooo jealous of me, cue internal evil grin.

After watching Luffy climb into the barrel, I slowly slid into it after him before finally closing the lid above the two of us. My thought process throughout this? Oh my god, oh my god, what am I doing, oh my god, is this reality?

"Hey, hold still for a sec, let's see if I can get us more comfortable" He smiles at me, making me stop squirming and he rearranges us so that he is sitting against the side of the barrel and I'm sitting across his lap sideways, leaning into his chest. His warm body is slowly making me sleepy, the rocking of the barrel easily sending both of us slowly to sleep.

"Vivien"

"Yea?"

"Join my crew" yea su- Wait what. But, huh what.

"But, you've only just meet me, why do you want me in your crew?"

"I like you and you seem like a good person" Wait WHAT… I guess I should, I mean, it's Luffy and he is so adorable….

"Um but Luffy! This is very sudden and we've only just met…"

"Yep!" Oh Luffy, you're a darlin'. So adorable.

"I… I guess..? I feel like this all too sudden and you don't even know me!"

"I'm captain. My rules."….. Damn it Luffy.

"I guess I have no choice then Cap'ain…"

"Good."

I slowly shake my head before putting it back on Luffy's shoulder.

"Hey, Luffy…"

"Yea?.."

"You smell like the ocean…" I yawn before snuggling closer to Luffy as I slowly drift off to the land of the sheep. "I'm going to take a nap…"

"Shishishishi… A nap sounds like a good idea.." Luffy agrees as he loosely wraps his arms around my body as we both slowly fall asleep to the sound of the waves outside the barrel.


Bang!

Bang! Ouch goddamnit, I feel like my brain just lost a few brain cells. Hearing something murmur in my ear, I turn slightly to see Luffy still napping. The adorable thing. Can't believe he adopted me into his family. Oh my god. I'm in Luffy's family… I'm gonna dieeeeeee.

Bang!

Grumbling, I rub my head where it hit the side of the barrel. Guess we're at the start of the scene when Luffy meets Coby. Makes me wonder if the story is going to follow the anime or the manga.. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Hearing voices above me, I try to listen in to what they're saying.

"Alright…"

"Ahh… Missed again" I guess they're still trying to bring us aboard. Cuddling into Luffy he is like the perfect temperature for this weather.

"Haha, you guys suck"

Finally the hook catches on the outside of the barrel and they begin to lug us up.

"It's really heavy."

"It's a wine barrel… Must have a lot."

"Let's keep it!"

Sighing, I guess the pirates of Alvida crew haven't shown up yet.

"Trouble to starboard! A pirate ship! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Cannon balls fire all around us and I hold onto Luffy tightly as we are rolled down the stairs and into the storeroom of the ship. I soon hear Coby find us and the commotion caused by the three other pirates from Alvida's crew.

"Oi, Luffy. Wake up! I need you to wake up please!" I mutter into his ear as he slowly wakes up. Luffy suddenly stands up, smashing off the lid of the barrel. "What a great naaaap!"

"Who are you guys?" I slowly stand up and stretch to try and unkink my back muscles, sighing at the trouble that Luffy gets into.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

"Oi, shuddup! You're giving me a bloody headache" I glare at the two pirates that a still conscious.

"He'll catch a cold if he sleeps here." Oh Luffy, how I love how clueless you are at times…

"ITS YOUR FAULT!"

"Oi oi oi! Shuddup! I told you, you're giving me a headache!" I rub my forehead at all the shouting the pirates are doing. The two pirates pull out their swords, screaming something about being a pirate as I get out of the barrel.

"I'm really hungry… Got any.."

"LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING!" Jesus Christ, why do they have to yell so loudly...

"YOU BRAT! DIEE!" Deciding to let Luffy deal with them like he did in the series, I glance over to see Coby freaking out. Looking back to Luffy, I see that the swords are now half of what they were with the ends now sticking into the ceiling.

"Who… Who are you?" one of the pirates asks.

"Me? I'm Monkey D. Luffy and this is Haven De Vivien. Nice to meet you!" I nod my head in acknowledgement before going over to Coby as the two pirates drag their pirate buddy away with them.

"Oi, boy. Who are you?" Gotta ask for his name since I shouldn't know it yet hehe.

"My-my-my name is Coby."

"Where's the food? I'm hungry!" Coby sweat drops at Luffy's comment as I just sigh and shake my head at Luffy's antics.

"Hey Luffy, I think its this way" I lead them over to the kitchen's huge food stock. Jumping down, I avoid anything that I don't recognize. Don't want to eat anymore strange that's going to throw me into a different world. Eating the food, I completely ignore the conversation between Luffy and Coby, only paying attention when I know that Alvida was going to smash through the ceiling. Climbing back up and standing in the door to the store room, I turn around just in time to see Alvida smash through the roof.

"Coby, you are such a baby" I say as I lean against the door frame.

"Coby! Who's the most beautiful woman in this ocean?" I snort as Coby cowers in the corner away from Alvida.

"Oi, who's this fat lady" I giggle at Luffy's comment and Alvida's reaction to it.

"Luffy, that isn't nice. Leaving a young lady behind to fend for herself" Luffy laughs at my comment as he wraps his arm around me, picking up Coby and jumps up onto the main deck.

Sitting down on a barrel, I watch everyone's reaction to finding out that Luffy had eaten a Devil Fruit. Quite an amusing scene now that I'm actually in it. Although I wish I had some sort of power so I didn't just sit on the sidelines like a damsel in distress. Sighing, I glance down at my hands, clenching them in thought that I would happily give up swimming if only I could help Luffy reach his goal.

"Viv, we're leaving." Luffy comes over a tilts my head up. I smile and nod at him.

"Aye aye Cap'ain."


Hope you guys enjoyed it
