I'm making another One piece fiction story. I'd like you guys to review on my summaries. I'm not sure if they're all that good, you know? This will be another family fic, just so you know.
Luffy's Origin
Chapter 1
The Stone of Origins
"Alright everyone let's split into groups!" Nami ordered her crew mates. She held out a group of sticks in her hand. "The two shortest will guard the ship, while the rest will go and gather food and supplies. Got that!"
"Yes Nami-Swan!" Sanji swooned while twirling around.
"Don't know why we have to take orders from that girl anyway," Zoro muttered viciously.
"Just deal with it Zoro," whispered Usopp. They all picked sticks. Chopper and Brook got the the Shortest two sticks and stayed on The ship, while the others went to go get supplies, except for Nami and Sanji, who went to go draw a map of the uncharted island
Luffy, Robin, and Franky, who grouped together to find food, were walking deeper and deeper into the unknown with little luck at finding food and supplies. Luffy, as usual, was fooling around more than actually trying to hunt and gather. He was trying to catch a wild squirrel, who easily evaded his rubber pursuer by hiding in a tree making the hunter very annoyed.
"Stupid squirrel," Luffy muttered bitterly.
"Luffy-bro, please stop messing around and help us find food or else Nami-sis will murder us," Franky said, feeling bit irritated at Luffy's antics.
"I am helping," Luffy protested, "I just have to catch that stupid squirrel."
"I don't think sis would want squirrel meat though…." Franky muttered.
"But she wouldn't mind eating deer meat, am I correct," Robin said, as she pointed at a fairly large and meaty deer in the distance. It was wandering around peacefully.
"Deer?" Frank said before seeing the deer. "Hey! You're right, sis!"
"Deer!? Where!?" Luffy bellowed. Then he saw it and ran towards. He quickly killed it.
"Super job, bro," Franky complimented.
"Thanks! This will make a great appetizer," Luffy said happily.
"Appetizer?" Franky said before remembering how large an appetite his captain had. "Guess we need more than just one deer, don't we?"
"Obviously," Luffy said, as if confused at why Franky was saying the obvious.
"Guess we should continue onwards," Robin said helpfully.
"Agreed, sis!"
And so the tree of them went onwards into the wood, with Frank hoisting the deer carcass on his large shoulders. Their luck had improved when they all stumble upon a patchwork of trees with dozens of delicious looking fruits.
"We hit the SUPER jackpot!" Franky exclaimed.
"I want meat," Luffy pouted.
"We can find meat later," Frank said. "Right now, we have to get the fruit."
"But how are we supposed to carry it all?" Robin asked. "My ability isn't very good for carrying multiple things over a long period of time, you know?"
"We don't have to carry all of it. Just enough for the crew, besides I carry all of it in my gut," Franky said, gesturing to his abdominal area.
"Being a cyborg sure does come in handy," Robin said kindly.
"You said it! It's SUPER!" Franky struck his signature pose. "Now let's grab the fruit."
"Okay!" Luffy cheered. They all grabbed a tree's worth of fruit and stored it in Franky metallic belly. Robin looked up at the sky and could tell it would be a few hours till sunset.
"We still have a bit more time, so let's continue on," Robin suggested.
"Okay," they both agreed. The three of them walked and walked until, finally, arriving at a interesting place.
"What is this?" Franky asked.
"Ruins!" Robin declared excitedly. Indeed they were ruins in every sense of the word. A wide area of what appeared to be the remain of an ancient temple or something stood before them. It was mostly filled with broken and weathered architecture, but that didn't dissuade Robin, in fact it encouraged her. Robin fast walked to the old ruins, with an unusually bright smile on her face.
"Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Robin look so excited before," Franky said, feeling a bit shocked.
"Hehehe. Robin gets excited whenever ruins are involved," Luffy said with a smile "It isn't all that surprising, right? She is an archeologist."
"Anyway we should go after her."
Both boys followed the young woman. The ruins were almost as big as a small village, but there wasn't much to see. Just broke old stone debris of what was once here that was no old, weather, and covered in moss. Luffy and Franky found Robin at the center of the ruins, where it seem there was less damage to the structures. Robin was in some kind of temple and was reading something on the wall.
"What are you doing, sis," Franky asked Robin, as he and Luffy approached her.
"This wall is engraved with some kind of ancient language that isn't found nowadays…." Robin said more to herself than to Franky. "I can read it, but it's like one big riddle… hmm I see… is that even possible… if this is true…."
"Sis!" Franky said again. Robin was beginning to creep him out. Robin blinked a couple of times and then turned to Franky.
"Franky? Sorry, I didn't see you there," Robin said with a smile.
"Right… so you seemed really into whatever this is," Franky said, gesturing to the wall, which had some engravings on it. To him, the wall had nothing but a few squiggly lines and gibberish, that was partially faded, but it must have been so much more to Robin. "You seemed like you were in a trance."
"Oh. I'm sorry. I just get excited when it comes to ruins and things like this, Robin explained. "I am an archaeologist after all."
"Yeah, I get it, but we should probably get back to the others."
"You're right," Robin nodded. "But where is Luffy."
"What?" Franky looked to his side and noticed Luffy wasn't there any more. "He was with me just a minute ago."
Robin thought for a moment. "We should find him quickly, or else things might get complicated for us all."
"What do you mean, Robin," Franky asked.
"No time to explain," Robin said urgently, "We have to go."
Robin went deeper into the ruins to search for her captain and was followed by Franky. It didn't take long to find Luffy in a huge room standing in front of a large shiny black stone the size of a bolder. Robin's eyes widened at the sight.
"This looks like it would be worth a lot," Luffy noted as he gazed at the shiny stone. He reached out to touch it. "If I bring this along maybe Nami will finally get over me spending that 100 million berries at Water 7."
"Luffy! No! Touching that stone could lead to severe consequences for us all!" Robin shouted dramatically.
Guess what? Luffy still touched it.
"What did you say Robin?" Luffy said the second after he touched it. The next second the black stone lit up like a flash of lightning and the stone generated a pillar of light as tall as the knock up stream. Pretty soon the entire island was engulfed in the bright white light. Luffy jumped back. "What is this?!"
At the center of the island Nami and Sanji, who until now were mapping the Island, saw the pillar of light.
"What is that?!" Nami screamed.
"I don't know, but I'm willing to bet that our idiot captain is at the center of all this," Sanji surmised. The next moment they were engulfed by the light.
While looking for food, Zoro and Usopp gawked in awe at the tower of light.
"It's the end of the world!" Usopp screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Would you shut up!" Zoro snapped. Next thing they knew, they were both sucked in by the light.
At the shore where the Thousand Sunny was docked.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Brook and Chopper screamed until, finally, they too were absorbed by the light.
After another minute, the light disappeared, but not just the light, but everyone on the island. minus Luffy and one other person, had disappeared into thin air.
In a certain bar, in a certain village, on a certain island in East blue, a huge orb of white light had appeared out of nowhere, startling the customers and making the beautiful green haired bartender drop a glass in shock.
"Oh my…." Makino whispered.
"What the hell is that?!" One man shouted.
"I don't know!" Another man shouted.
After another second the light disappeared and in it's place were 8 peculiar, but familiar looking people, standing shoulder to shoulder with each other. It took a minute for everyone in the bar to process who the mysterious people were.
"Aren't they…?"
"But shouldn't they be in…?"
"What in the world is happening here?"
That summarized the 8 Straw Hats mindset perfectly. "G-guys, where are we?" Usopp asked nervously.
"Not sure…." Nami replied hesitantly. She was creeped out by all the stares directed at them, but it seemed like all the people were just as confused as they were. "One moment I was charting an island and Sanji and I were engulfed in a weird light and ended up here. Is that the same with you guys?"
They all nodded.
"So, is this some kind of trap?" Zoro asked as he gripped the hilt of his swords.
"No, we were not sent here on purpose," Robin began, grabbing her crewmates attention. "It is most likely the power of-"
"Excuse me, but are you people apart of Luffy's crew?" Makino asked, interrupting Robin's explanation.
"Yes we are," Robin answered her, because everyone else was too dumbfounded by the situation to think properly. When Sanji noticed the green haired beauty, hearts popped in his eyes.
"Oh, what a heavenly angel that was no doubt born from the light!" Sanji proclaimed with his dramatically, as he went to her feet.
"Umm... are you a part of Luffy's crew as well?" Makino asked awkwardly.
"Luffy, who?"
"Your captain, dumba**!" Nami snapped, as she smacked Sanji over the head. Then she looked at Makino. "Excuse me, miss, but could you tell us where we are or and also who you are and how you know Luffy?"
"You're in the Party's Bar in Foosha Village, on Dawn Island, in the East Blue. I'm Makino, the barmaid here, I used to help take care of Luffy when he was a just small boy, but more importantly, is Luffy with you?" Makino pressed. It was clear that only thing on her mind right now was Luffy, but when hearing where they were, everyone's minds just burst.
"We're where?!" All of them, minus Robin, screamed in shock, as their minds attempted to process the information.
"Actually, if you don't mind my asking, how did you all arrive here?" Makino asked curiously, putting aside her desire to see Luffy for a moment. "I mean last we heard, you're crew should still be in the Grand Line, correct?"
"You are correct," Robin answered, because the rest of the crew were too shaken up by situation to think about anything else. "I believe we were transported here by the power of the Stone of Origins."
"Stone of origins? What's that," Nami asked, as everyone listened intently.
"Well you see, Franky, Luffy, and I had stumbled upon some ruins, so I did some investigating and found an old text about something called the Stone of Origins."
"Stone of… Origins?" Brook repeated.
"What's that?" Chopper asked curiously.
"Have I drank too much or did that reindeer just talk?!" One of the customers said shocked.
"Forget the reindeer, is that a talking skeleton?!" Another asked, feeling shocked.
Robin ignored the other people. There really was no right or wrong way to handle this situation. "How do I explain it? Well for starters when it is touched it transports everyone in the area to said person's "origins" except for the person who actually touched it."
"So you're saying…." Nami was beginning to put the pieces together.
"Yes. Luffy touched the stone and now we have been brought to his "origins" of sorts," Robin clarified. "Which means we've been taken to East Blue, thousands of miles away from where we were."
Nami sat down in the nearest chair dejectedly, followed by the others, "Luffy, what have you gotten us into this time?"
"In his defense, he didn't know what he was touching," Robin said.
"I'm not sure I understand what's going on, but can I ask a question?" Makino spoke up, then she pointed at Brook. "Is he a real talking skeleton?"
Brook perked up, got up from his chair, and walked to Makino. "My lady, I am not only an actual talking skeleton, but I am a gentleman. So I must ask," Brook placed his bony hand on Makino's shoulder, "may I see your panties?"
Makino went red. "Excuse me?!"
"That's a pervert not a gentleman!" Nami shouted as she smacked Brook over the head. Although she wasn't happy by the means, she did appreciate someone lightening the mood a bit. Nami turned to Makino. "Sorry about him. It was Makino, right?"
"That's right. And you're Nami, correct? The green haired man is Zoro, the cute reindeer is Chopper, the dark haired woman is Robin, and the big man with the blue hair is Franky. Am I right?"
Nami and the others blinked with surprise. "You're right, but how do you-" Nami noticed that all of the crews wanted posters, minus Brook's, who was the newest member, were pinned against the wall.
"But I'm afraid I don't know who you three are," Makino said as she gazed at Usopp, Sanji, and Brook. "Do you not have bounties?"
"What are you saying, beautiful Makino, of course I-" Sanji saw all their bounties on the wall, including his…. "No! My greatest shame has been seen by one of the most beautiful women ever!"
Makino followed his line of sight to Sanji's poster, then gasped in realization. "Oh! You're Sanji! I'm so sorry! I should've realized immediately ."
Sanji waved his hand dismissively. "No, no, Makino, it isn't your fault. It's the government's," Sanji added a growl. "So don't bother with it."
"Oh. Okay." Makino shifted her gaze to Usopp, then she noticed his long nose. "I get it. You're Sniper King behind the mask, right? Sorry for not recognizing you before."
"Sniper King?" Brook said while looking at Usopp, who started sweating beads.
"Usopp isn't Sniper King," Chopper claimed. "Sniper King is a hero of justice and mystery the."
"That's right! I am the gray Captain Usopp!" Usopp declared loudly and proudly, earning several awkward glances from Makino and the other customers.
"Ignore him. The whole Sniper King thing is a long story," Nami whispered to Makino. Nami gestured to Brook. "The perverted skeleton's name is Brook. But don't worry, he's harmless."
"Hello again, my dear Makino. May I see your-"
"Do you ever learn your lesson?!" Nami screamed, as she punched Brook right in the face. Nami sighed, "I guess "harmless" isn't the right word."
Makino actually laughed at the antics. Who ever this woman was, she sure could roll with the punches, but then again, she did say she took care of Luffy. She must be totally used to insanity.
"So… you took care of Luffy, right?"
"For part of his life at least," Makino explained. "But unfortunately it sounds like he isn' here. Are you guys trying to say you were brought here by a magic rock?"
"I don't know myself." Nami and the others turned to Robin. "Was it "magic" that got us here, Robin?"
"I don't if it's magic that the Stone of Origins use," Robin explained. "But I'm almost positive that it is responsible for bringing us here."
"So we're stuck here?" Frankly asked.
"No. Part of the text was faded and I didn't get a chance to read everything, but I did catch that the power would wear off on the night of the full moon and we'll all be taken back to where we were."
"But the last full moon was last night!" Nami almost felt like panicking.
"So it will be a full month before the "spell" is broken, which, more or less, mean it would be a waste of time to try to sail back to that island."
"So, basically, we just have to be patient and wait out this so call spell," Zoro surmised. "It's a dull plan, but I don't hate it, but what about the guy who touched the stone?"
"Luffy!" They all said in unison.
"That's right, he's alone on the island, isn't he," Makino said with worry. Her expression was comparable to a mother worried for her child.
"Hey, don't worry about Luffy," Nami comforted, "he a resourceful guy."
"Oh, I know. He survived his grandfather's strict training, so I know he is experienced with surviving in a jungle, but a woman can worry, can't she?"
'"Grandfather's training", huh…?" Someof the crew though as they went blue in the face at the thought of Garp's "training."
"But whatever happens happens, right?" Makino said, cheering up. "Besides, there's no point busting our heads over this. In fact this is your chance to learn to learn more about Luffy and our chance to learn more about you,"
The Straw Hats became unnerved at how fast Makino rebounded.
"Makino is right, as always, this is our chance to learn more about the friends of our friend Luffy,"one of the men said as he got out of his chair, getting over the shock of 8 weird looking people appearing out of nowhere from a flash of light.
"Yeah, we've all been itching to meet you guys for awhile," said another man as he got out of his chair. Pretty soon, all the men got up and surrounded… Nami and Robin, perverted looks in their eyes.
"So, you ladies are on Luffy's crew, hug?"
"You know Luffy's always been like family to us."
"I'm surprised Luffy was lucky enough to get such beautiful women on his crew."
"It sounds like you ladies need a place to stay. If you want, you two are more than welcome to stay at my place."
Nami sighed in annoyance and Robin just smiled. Normally it Sanji would be on this kind of situation like orange on a flame, but it was Makino who came to the rescue,
"Oh, boys, please stop sexually harassing Luffy's friends or else I'll have to tell your wives," Makino said with a sadistic smile. That made all the married men back off without question, but the single men still needed more convincing. "And for all of you single guys, I think I'll have to ban you from the bar."
"H-hey, Makino let's not be hasty."
"Yeah, we need our afternoon sake."
"We'll back off, promise." They went back to their seats.
"Wow, you're pretty good at handling the men here," Nami said, feeling genuinely impressed.
"You certainly are assertive," Robin complimented. The Straw Hat men sweat dropped at Makino's scary display
"Oh, that's just something I picked up from someone I had admired when I was a little girl," Makino said bashfully.
"Didn't expect such a kind looking woman to be so intimidating," Usopp whispered to Chopper.
"I guess all women are scary," Chopper whispered back, earning a nod from the other four men.
"Anyway, if you wouldn't mind coming with me, there's someone I want to introduce you guys too," Makino said.
"Introduce us to who?" Franky asked.
"That's a surprise," Makino winked. "But I'm sure she'll love to meet you."
Sanji jumped when Makino said "she'll." "It's a girl! Let's go right away!"
"Just a moment, please," Zoro said seriously. "This is a bar, right?"
"Then get me a round over here," Zoro ordered, as he sat down at a bar stool.
"Don't be rude to her, Moss Head!" Sanji shouted, before Nami clobbered Zoro.
Makino laughed hysterically, "you people are hilarious! You certainly mesh well with a crew Luffy would make."
None of them were sure how to respond to that.
"But seriously, come with me. I really want you all to meet."
The Pirates shrugged, knowing they had nothing else to do, followed her out the bar after she told her customers to leave.
"It's kind of a long walk , but please bear with it." As they walked the pirates noted how plain looking the village was and it reminded some of them of their own villages, especially the ones from East Blue. The stranger looking Straw Hats earned some prolonged stares from the people they had passed. Other people noted how much they looked like the pirates from Luffy's crews wanted posters. After 15 minutes they had arrived at their destination: a brick house near the edge of the village. It was simple, but nice looking house that was painted white and blue and looked to be about two stories tall.
"Here we are," Makino said once they had arrived.
"Someone lives here I assume," Zoro guessed.
"Yes, someone very important to Luffy, and to me as well, I might add."
"Important to Luffy…?" Nami wondered out loud. "Who?"
"Let's knock on the door and see, shall we?" Makino knocked on the door. After a moment someone answered.
"Who is it?" A girl's voice asked from behind the closed.
"Riruka, it's me, Makino," she answered.
"Makino!" The voice of Riruka squealed happily. The wooden door opened to reveal a young, well-endowed, good-looking girl, who looked a bit younger than Luffy. She had short, neck length dark hair and pale white skin, which pronounced her dark eyes wore a plain white t-shirt and a thigh length black skirt. "What's up?"
"Nothing much, but there are people I want you to meet," Makino said.
"Who? Them?" Riruka tilted her head to see past Makino. Her eyes widened as she processed their faces. "No way… are they…?
"Yes, they are your big brother's crew," Makino said solemnly.
"Big brother…?" Nami repeated strangely.
Makino turned to them. "Straw Hat Pirates, this is Luffy's little sister, Monkey D. Riruka."
A moment, which felt like a lifetime, later.
"WHAT?!" They all, minus Robin, of course, screamed, feeling beyond shocked.
Do I write awesome stories or what? Seriously, do I? Do I deliver decent bombshells. Do I capture the right actions for each and every character?
Please review.
