Randomness. Utter randomness. Slightly different devil fruit Luffy.
1. Shanks
Shanks cursed himself, as he rubbed his ears. Luffy... well... Luffy was a loud mouth, but did he have to squack right in his ear, rendering him half deaf?
Then again, it was no surprise that the smaller boy had such an aggressive reaction to it. No being able to swim?! That was huge.
But still, Luffy didn't have the right to leave him deaf.
Shanks froze. That wasn't the Gomu Gomu no Mi like he had originally thought, right?! Though in his defence.. both fruits were similary coloured and shaped.
2. Cobra
Crocodile was a cool and calm person. No one could deny that. For the boy to so easily get under the nerves of that tyrant, Cobra was impressed.
Cobra was even more impressed when Luffy had sent Crocodile flying into the sky from inside the tomb, even though the boy had seemed half dead, bleeding out from the wounds on his stomach, and poison in his blood. The teen's voice alone had disorientated the tyrant, leaving him open to Luffy's finishing blow.
Amazed, Cobra had asked, in the prescnce of Robin, "What are you?"
The teen just grabbed him in one arm and the former Miss All Sunday in the other, and garbled, "I'mma... rubber... chicken... hungry..."
Maybe the boy was derilous? Or maybe he was hungry, like he said?
3. Enel
Enel didn't know what to make of the rubber human. Being immune to his electric attacks was one thing.
But being so loud that it was so damned annoying and making it so hard to think...
Enel grabbes his ears in agony as the rubber boy squacked again, his mantra being stunned for that one second, enough for Luffy to deliver the final blow.
He hated rubber, Enel decided.
4. Lucci
Lucci, for one, was frustrated. His leopard ears were sensitive, dammit. He could hear things that humans couldn't.
He did not need random chew toy sounds in his ear.
Luffy was being so noisy, yelling as he bounced around, and being in an enclosed area was not helping, with ll the echoing.
Lucci knew haki. A bit of it. But whatever haki he was using to detect the boy was being overrode by the pounding in his brain, screaming, "SHUT UP MUGIWARA!"
Lucci had no choice but to cover his ears, lest he burst an eardrum.
Damned that Mugiwara. And how the hell was he immune to his own screaming?!
5. Law
Law were not amused the slightest. It would have been funny seeing the marines cover their ears in agony, but mot when he was also a victim of it.
Thank goodness for the Ope Ope no Mi. Law was able to cure the ringing in his ears with no problems. The same could not be said for the other Supernova though. Kidd was still cursing his lungs out, as he stuck his finger in his ear to try and stop the ringing in it.
"Really, Mugiwara-ya?" Law smirked, puttin up a facade that he wasn't affected by the rubber pirate's infamous screech.
"Meh. It worked." Luffy shrugged, "Rubber chickens are awesome!"
The first part, Law agreed with Luffy. But what was that about rubber chickens?
Before either captain could question Luffy, Nami had already stormed out of the auction house and was currently smacking her captain's head, "You idiot! Are you trying to make us all deaf?!"
Both the Heart Pirates and the Kidd Pirates had no idea how to react to that, instead opting to stare at the weird crew.
6. Marineford
Luffy growled. They were gonna push Ace's execution forward! How dare they!
Luffy leapt into the air, and took a large breath until he was a large round balloon in the air. He hoped that Ace's captain had passed the message.
Ace shivered. That was an attack both he and Sabo had warned Luffy never to use except in an emergency.
The attack was bad enough when Luffy was 7. Now he was 17. Ace had no access to his hands, so in a desperate attempt, Ace pressed one side of his head against the cool metal of the execution platform, and tried to use his shoulders to cover his other ear.
Garp and Sengoku just stared at the Whitebeard Pirate in shock, while Ace just growled, "Cover your ears shitty gramps, unless you wanna go deaf!"
Garp, of course, did what his adoptive grandson had asked him to do.
Sengoku was tempted to follow suite, but he hesitates. Sure, the pirate had a reputation for being quite. loud, but he was quite a distance from the execution platform. Plus, Sengoku wouldn't put it past Whitebeard to use the rookie in some elaborate scheme. Edward Newgate did not survive for so long and gain the title of the strongest man in the world based on brawns.
That was, until he saw what the other Whitebeards Pirates were doing.
All of them had huddled as far away from the rookie as they possibly could, hands over their ears.
Ivankov was trying to stuff something in her? ears, while Buggy had detached his ears from his body and had stuffed them in his pocket. Hancock was hesitantly covering her ears, her snake coiled around her protectively. Mihawk was standing there, seemingly fine, but did his ears get bigger or were those cross-shaped earplugs in his ears?! Whitebeard had his bisento nestled in the crook of his arm as he covered his own ears. Hell, Jinbe had even dived underwater! Crocodile was glancing at the water,
"Ne, Ossan, if you see me jump into the air and blow up into a balloon, cover your ears." Luffy had stated, before jumping down into the fray.
Marco just stared at the boy in confusion as his captain laughed, before ordering the first division commander to spread the word.
He had already told Hancock what to do, and she grudgingly accepted to pass the word to Mihawk. After all, Luffy was sure Zoro didn't want to fight Hawkeyes deaf.
Smoker and Tashigi, they already had experience with Luffy, and they dreaded what Luffy was gonna do now.
Koby and Helmeppo, let's just say they gulped in fear. They were so screwed.
Seeing as most of his allies and friends were "ready", Luffy let all the air out in one mighty screech, aiming his attack at the marines, "BLEEEERRR-KAWWWWWRRREEE"
Let's just say, it got really bloody.
For starters, anyone who didn't cover their ears beforehand started bleeding heavily from their ears, their eardrums burst from the pressure. The admirals, Smoker, Tashigi, Koby, Helmeppo and Sengoku were the only one's not to bleed, for various reasons.
And most of them were currently deaf, confusion spread as none of them could hear a single sound.
Ace could hear his ears ringing. Damn, Luffy was so much louder than last time.
Garp groaned, and Ace thought he said, "You were right, Ace." He wasn't deaf, per say, just the damn ringing.
A huge panic broke out among the marines. They were deaf! They could no longer take orders!
Sengoku jawdropped at the rookie's attack. Hell, he just took out most of the higher ranking marines with one attack! And probably crippled them for life!
Marco just stared in disbelief at Luffy, who was cheerfully running towards Ace with no one stopping him.
Whitebeard was laughing. That rookie certainly was something, indeed!
7. & 8. Sabaody & Kidd
The inhabitants of Sabaody watched in disbelief as the marine formation crumbled apart. Luckily for them, their speakers had broken down due to the volume of the sound Luffy made, but somewhere, in the direction of Marineford, they could clearly hear the Supernova's voice ringing out.
"Holy crap. That little shit really is loud." Kidd grumbled.
9. The Whitebeard Pirates
"Ne, Luffy, did you really have to do that?!" Ace demanded. His ears were still ringing faintly, dammit, "And how the hell are you fine?!"
"Shishishi! Of course I had to do it, it was an emergency!" Luffy cheerfully replied. Ace resisted the urge to facepalm - he really had to tighten up his definition of "emergency".
"Ne, I've never heard of the Gomu Gomu no Mi doing that!" Marco asked, plopping down next to Ace. Thatch, who somehow managed to survive Teach's death strike, was just staring as Luffy gulped down plate after plate.
"Gomu Gomu no Mi?" Luffy asked in confusion.
"Yeah. That's what the reporters say your fruit is." Marco furrowed his eyebrows.
"Oh. Yeah. Apparently, he didn't eat the Gomu Gomu no Mi, he ate the Gochi Gochi no Mi!" Ace exclaimed.
"Yeah. I'm not a rubber man. I'm a rubber chicken man!" Luffy giggled.
"You know that sounds so stupid right?" Ace retorted.
"Wait wait wait, shit, where did Thatch go?!" Marco searched for the commander, who just popped out behind Marco with a rubber chicken in his hands, "This kind of rubber chicken?"
Before anyone could say anything, Thatch squeezed the toy, "Be-karrr!"
Luffy and Ace nodded in sync as Marco attempted to throttle Thatch, "Yep."
Just a note - Apparently google translate says rubber chicken in japanese is Gomuchikin, so there ya go, a Gochi Gochi no Mi!
