A/N: OracionMist here with a whole new story! I'm bouncing from chapter to chapter for all my other stories and have been busy, but I'll be updating soon! Enjoy the chapter!

Disclaimer: I only own my OC's and cover page, not One Piece!

Chapter 1

"Hey Kasumi, now that I'm a pirate and you're my crew's wolf, we need more members." Luffy said as he sat in his boat with a small husky with blue eyes and a collar with gun charms hanging around its neck.

The boy had set sail not long ago in order to become Pirate King and find the One Piece with a crew at his side. The dog had been his childhood friend, and just like Luffy, was just as odd. "Ah... I'm so hungry..." Kasumi gave a whine in agreement before perking up and leaping into a barrel.

"Huh? What is it?" The straw hat asked as he spotted why the husky went to hide. "A Whirlpool?! Kasumi, made some room!"

As the boat inevitably was sucked up into the whirlpool, the two braced for impact and waited until they could get out.

"Hold on, boys. I'll open it the old fashioned way." A voice from outside of the barrel said as it woke up Kasumi.

As such, she realized they were still stuck inside with Luffy still asleep. The solution? Kick him with her back leg.

That got the reaction Kasumi wanted as Luffy straightened himself and shattered open the lid with a stretch and a big yawn, also happening to hit someone along the way. "Ah~ I slept so great!"

"Arf!" Kasumi barked as she hung onto the barrel's rim. She glanced down at the man that her captain knocked out and gave a doggy snicker.

"What's so funny?" Luffy asked as he looked over to see the unconscious pirate and looked over to who he was guessing were comrades of the unconscious guy. "Who's that? Your friend will catch a cold sleeping like that."

"You're the one who knocked him out!" The two pirates yelled as Luffy climbed out of the barrel along with the husky, ignoring them even with a sword in hand, as he talked to a pink haired boy standing nearby in shock.

"I'm starving, you got any food?" The straw hat asked with Kasumi barking in agreement for food as well.

The pirates didn't take well to being ignored as they attacked the straw hat and his dog with their swords raised in the air, but it was easily broken by Luffy as he asked, "What is wrong with you two?"

"Wh-who are you?" One of the pirates stammered.

"Me? My name's Monkey D. Luffy. And this is Luna D. Kasumi." The raven haired boy smiled with his crewmate giving a bark as a greeting.

To their confusion, the two pirates took their friend and ran off screaming. The pink haired boy wondered what had happened before yelling, "You have to run! If they come back with their buddies, they'll kill you on the spot!"

"I don't care about that; I'm hungry." Luffy replied with a bark from Kasumi.

The two didn't really care as they smelled the scent of food and started to follow it, not noticing that the pink haired boy was trying-and failing- to keep Luffy from going anywhere.

When they made it into the storage room, the straw hat and his dog made quick work of eating the apples and raw meat they could find.

"Um, my name is Coby. Your Luffy and that's your dog Kasumi, Right?"

"So where are we? A pirate's ship?" Luffy asked the boy through a full mouth.

"No, this is a passenger ship being raided by the lady pirate Alvida."

"A passenger ship huh? Who cares. You think they have a spare boat?"

"Why would you need that?"

"My boat got wrecked by the whirlpool."

Coby gaped in surprise, "You mean the one outside?! No one could've survived that!"

"Yeah, it was a big surprise! Right, Kasumi?" Luffy laughed with the husky barking a yes. "So which one are you? Pirate or passenger?"

Kasumi glanced over as Coby began to tell his story of getting spotted by Alvida and her crew while accidentally coming across their boat and being forced as a cabin boy in return for living.

"You're pretty stupid." Luffy said with the blue eyed dog nodding.

"You two are brutally honest." The boy said dejectedly. Even a dog thought he was stupid.

"If you hate it, then leave."

When Coby said that he was too scared to even thinking such a thing, the straw hat laughed as he called him a coward and a wimp and that he hate people like that.

"But you're right. If I did have the courage to leave on a boat, I'd be able to accomplish my dreams." Coby smiled wistfully, "What about you, Luffy? What was it that got you to set sail?"

Luffy grinned, "I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"

The pink haired boy gaped, "King?!"

"Yup."

"Are you serious?!"

"Yup."

"That would mean you're a pirate!"

"Sure am."

"Your crew?!"

"Just me and Kasumi right now, but I'm looking for more."

"You're looking for the One Piece?! The thing that pirates all over the world are searching for?!" Coby yelled as he shook his head. "That's impossible! There's no way you and a dog could reach the pinnacle in this great pirate age!"

He only stopped when Luffy hit him in the back of the head. "It's not about if I can, I'm doing this because I want to. I decided long ago that I would be King of the Pirates, and if I die fighting for that, it's fine!"

"Don't forget I'm with you to see how this goes, Luffy." A medium pitched female voice said, making Coby freeze to turn and stare at the husky in shock.

"D-did that dog just t-talk?"

"Yes I did. And I'm no dog." Kasumi said as Luffy picked her up.

"Alright, we filled our bellies, so let's find a boat!"

The straw hat stopped when the cabin boy uttered, "If I leave, would I be able to become a marine? It's been my dream since I was a child! Do you think I can?"

"I don't know." Luffy stated.

"I'll do it! I'll get out here, become a marine, and capture Alvida myself!"

Kasumi and the straw hat glanced at each other as the dog said. "You're really a good motivator."

It seemed that the pirate that Coby was talking came on cue as she destroyed the cieling of the storage room as she came crashing down.

"Who did you say you were going to capture? Do you think this twig and his scrawny pup can help you? Well?! Answer me!"

Luffy let Kasumi down as he and Alvida stared as the large woman smirked, "It seems you're not the pirate hunter Zoro."

Alvida turned back to Coby, "Tell me! Who is the most beautiful of all on this sea?"

The pink haired boy stammered, "U-uh..."

"Hey Coby, who's the fat lady?" Luffy asked, gaining gaping jaws and a laughing dog.

The straw hat and his dog leapt away and pulled Coby along when the large woman swung down her club in a rage as Luffy jumped up.

As Alvida's men attacked, both Luffy and Kasumi had an easy time evading the attacks and retaliating with bites and punches before running as they were ganged up on. "It's not fair to gang up on a guy."

As Luffy ran past the mast with his arm stretching while he still ran, Kasumi held her ground as she said, "No need to stay like this for right now." Standing up on her hind legs, rapid succession of cracking bones could be heard as the dog turned into a woman that wasted no time in shooting with her guns to make the men stop as the straw hat snapped back and slammed into them with a "Gum Gum Rocket!"

As Luffy got up with the woman walking up to him, Coby was shocked at the sight of Luffy stretching and the dog turning into a human. Taking a closer look at the former dog, she stood at 5'3" with fairly tanned skin and short black hair with red ends tied in low pigtails. She wore a black beret with a Yin magatama and blue rimmed glasses that didn't obscure the crescent moon birthmark that reached from under her left eye to just above her cheek. With a blue spiked choker that had a crescent moon and bullet charm to complete her outfit of a white tank top with bat wings designs on the back, purple skirt with three overlapping belts that each held a gun, black leggings, and red stilettos. Over all, not a bad thing to look at .

"L-Luffy... Kasumi... What are you?"

Luffy grinned as he pulled his cheek wide. "I'm a rubber man!"

"I'm a demon! The wolf kind to be kind of exact!" Kasumi said with a wide smirk to show her fangs.

"So you two have eaten of the devil fruits." Alvida concluded.

"I ate the Gum Gum fruit, but she's a real demon." Luffy answered.

"Are you two bounty hunters?"

"We're pirates! I'm the captain and she the wolf."

The large woman laughed, "All by yourselves?"

"I'll start looking tomorrow, maybe next week! I need... nine more crewmen sounds good!"

"So... Seeing as we're both pirates, but not under the same flag, that would make us enemies."

Coby wasn't liking the sound of that as he tried to get the two to leave, but realized that now was the time to fight back for his dream. "Alvida! You're the most ugliest thing on the sea!"

Both Luffy and Kasumi bursted out laughing while Coby admitted his dreams and intentions with the large woman infuriated and ready to crush him.

"Well said!" Luffy said as he pushed the boy out of the way to take the brunt of the hit with Coby watching in shock and Kasumi stealing one of the boats and turning back into a husky when she succeeded in scaring anyone away from stopping her.

"Hurry it up, Luffy. I'm smelling marines!"

"Right." After straw hat sent Alvida flying, he turned to the boy before running to the boat. "There's your chance, just say you want to join!"

"I can't join like this!" Coby yelled and got in as well as they dropped into the water and sailed away.

Luffy laughed, "That was fun!"

"I wanted more fights, but maybe later..." The husky sighed.

"If you're really looking for the One Piece, then you'll have to go the Grand Line. I've heard that it's known as a pirate graveyard." Coby informed.

"That's why I'll need a strong crew." Luffy said before wondering. "You guys mentioned a pirate hunter, what's he like?"

"You mean Zoro? Last I heard, he was held prisoner at some marine base."

"So he's weak then..." The straw hat commented with disappointment, to which Coby denied.

"You're so wrong! He's as violent as a demon and three times as horrifying! Plus he even has an evil spirit that always sits his shoulder and attacks when provoked in the slightest! It even warns him of attacks and protects him with weird powers!" Coby paused. "Wait, why are you asking about him anyway?"

Luffy grinned, "I just thought if he's good enough, I'll make him join my crew! What do you think Kasumi?"

"It sounds fun! And I want to meet that "evil spirit"." Kasumi replied with a slight wag in her tail.

"That settles it! Full sails ahead to that marine base!"

Meanwhile

"You've really gotten yourself into such a mess." A cold woman's voice said to a man tied to a post.

The man groaned. "Shut up. I'll get back to business after this, so just wait, will you?"

The woman sighed. "What a foolish human I chose to follow." She smirked as her red eyes shined. "At least you're amusing."

A/N: And that's chapter one! A pretty good start if I say so myself; an explanation of how Kasumi met Luffy will be in the next chapter, but we did learn a bit about this gun toting demon wolf. Her abilities at the moment are simply her skills in guns, her inhuman strength, and being able to manipulate water and plants to a small extent. I'll be sure not to over power my OC's, but most of the straw hat crew are pretty strong, so they fit in.

In any case, the next chapter is coming soon and the other story updates will be soon!

Til next time!
