I had the sudden urge to write a Luffy one-shot. Though I guess it's not a one-shot if it's more then one chapter. . . I honestly do not know what came over me. But let me warn you, due to the fact that Luffy doesn't have a single romantic bone or piece of romantic tissue in him he's gonna be a bit out of character when the romance comes in. Oda-sensei owns Luffy, and the crew and well . . . The one-piece world. I own one puny character and that is Leila. So read, enjoy and R and R.

Leila opened the paper only to see a certain someone smiling back at her, eyes closed, large smile as something blew up in the foreground with a few people behind him, his crew she presumed because they were destroying something too.

She didn't need to read their names or the article to know that the smiling boy was Monkey D Luffy, and that one of the boys in the background was Roronoa Zoro, though which one was him she didn't know. With a smile of her own she folded the paper up, put it down and walked out of the coffee shop, heading for the beach and the docks.

"Monkey D. Luffy, are you up there?" She shouted up towards the deck, studying the figurehead. It had to be a sunflower with the face of a cat, or maybe it was a sun? She cocked her head to the side, pondering what it could possibly be as she waited for a response. But getting bored rather quickly she climbed up onto the deck, surprised to feel grass below her feet, the lawn that created the deck was completed with a slide from the second level. She had the urge to run up to the top and then side down it. Bud didn't get the chance to put her thoughts into actions because a group of people piled onto the ship, the whole town on the beach, or so it appeared.

Wow, a real live, angry mob. She thought with a smile before she shouted "Luffy!" tackling the boy straight off of his feet and out of his hat she was so excited to see his still childish face.

Two people reached for their weapons, one tightened their grip on theirs, one person jumped, startled by the girls outburst, four people tensed but every prepared to attack as they watched their captain was attacked by a blur of black.

Luffy saw his crew prepare to attack the girl who was squeezing the life out of him and laughed, calling them off by saying "It's ok guys. She's a friend."

Pulling back, the girl narrowed her light jade green eyes and asked "Just a friend? I am more then just a friend, I'm your brother."

Someone laughed from behind her and said, "You're a girl."

"So? As a six year old, it didn't matter." She sat up, still on top of Luffy, who sat up too. "So," She brought her arms up and rested her forearms on his shoulders. ", anything interesting happen lately?"

"No." Luffy said. The crew behind Leila began shouting at him about how they had just barely gotten their shadows back and away from Thriller Bark. "Sanji, prepare a feast." Luffy ordered, paying no attention to their protests and shouts.

"With lost of MEAT!" She shouted, jumping up.

"YEAH!" Luffy cheered, springing to his feet too.

"May I see your panties?" a skeleton with an afro, in a suit asked getting in Leila's face.

"I'm not wearing any." Leila giggled as both the skeleton and the blonde suit-wearing boy collapsed. A river of scarlet was flowing from the blonde's nose, staining the grass.

Luffy cocked his head to the side and asked "Why aren't you wearing panties?"

She burst out laughing at both his expression and his words. "Oh Luffy." She gasped, trying to breathe, using his shoulder as a support to hold herself up. "Don't worry your pretty little head about my undergarments." Leila ruffled his already messy hair tenderly before heading for the kitchen. The crew watched as she went into the kitchen, and then emerged with two big bones of meat, one in each hand. They were amazed that she had even known where the kitchen was; let alone where things were in it. "Here ya go." She held one out to Luffy and nudged the blonde with her foot, looking skeptically down at him, ripping a chunk out of the meat. Looking up she said "I don't believe we'll be having that feast you asked for tonight." Luffy's face fell despite him eating meat. But she continued, "But I'm sure I can whip something up. Come on Monkey D!" She grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the kitchen.

"She'd just like him." Nami muttered staring after them. Their attire was even similar; she wore long dark form fitting jeans, a tank top and sandals.

"Is that good or bad?" Usopp asked aloud as something in the kitchen crashed, following an exploding sound, leaving the horrors of what they were doing in the kitchen to be imagined by the crew.

They all watched the kitchen door, But Zoro looked down at the chef and laughed "I can't wait to see what he has to say about whatever their doing to his kitchen."

"Sh-sh-should we stop them?" O-o-or check out what their doing?" When Usopp asked that, everyone looked and walked away. Franky whistling, Nami pulling out a bag and counting beries, Chopper heading for the sickbay, Sanji was still unconscious, Rubin pulled out a book, Zoro sat down for a nap and Usopp stood there, knees shaking as she imagined what the kitchen now looked like. Black smoke billowed out form around the door.
