I'm loving the way my other amnesiac (fem)Luffy story is going, it's interesting writing about someone with no memories, so here's another one where Luffy loses her memories, only with a more extreme case of amnesia. Enjoy!
Ace, Sabo and Luffy were fending off the pirates at the burning Grey Terminal. The three were badly hurt and the place was surround by red flames that threatened to swallow them whole. The captain, Bluejam, had a large club made of sea stone, giving Luffy a disadvantage.
"Lu-chan! Look out!" Sabo pushed his sister away from a sword. Rubber heated up fast, Luffy felt hot and sluggish. Ace used his pipe to fend off Bluejam. Luffy started fighting again, knocking two pirates aside. Ace's pole was knocked from his grip, when he turned to pick it up, Sabo was sent flying into him by another pirate. Blue jam was about to come down on them with his club.
"Ah! Ace! Sabo!" Luffy jumped in front of them, the sea stone club hit her dead in the middle of her head.
"Luffy!" Ace and Sabo yelled, but Luffy fell forward, unconscious.
Ace angrily attacked Bluejam. But, the club was swung again, it hit Ace's side and he went flying. He too, was out cold. That left only Sabo, who's first instinct was to get his younger sister and older brother and run. He went to pick up Luffy and run, when he was hit. He staggered up, arm probably broken.
"Damn it!" He yelled, spitting out a piece of his tooth. Then he was hit again, everything went black. The pirates laughed at the unconscious kids.
"So what now?" One asked.
"We can still make it back to our ship." Bluejam said. Then, his eyes fell on Luffy. "Wait, that girl. She's rubber right?" he asked, on pirate stretched her arm.
"Yeah, captain, I think I know what you're thinking."
"Who wouldn't pay big for a live, rubber, toy?" Blue jam laughed.
Ace groaned, he was slowly regaining his consciousness. He pushed himself up and saw the pirates surrounding Luffy. He was fully awake now.
"Stay away from her!" Ace coughed. The pirates looked at him
"The brats awake." a pirate said.
"Leave him, it's not like he can stop us." Bluejam laughed, then he picked up Luffy and held her for Ace to see. "This belongs to us now!" He smirked.
"This? Luffy's not a 'this'! Give her back!" Ace stood up and tried to walk. The pirate laughed at him.
"I'm sure enough people would love a rubber toy to play with." Blue jam laughed and walked away. Ace coughed, his consciousness was fading again.
"Luffy! Damn! Damn!" Then, he fell, unconscious again.
Luffy woke up a week later.
Luffy's POV
I woke up in a strange place. In a strange cage, surrounded by very strange people. I sat up, where was I? Even better question... who was I?
"Oh, that brats awake." Some one said.
"Um, who are you? Why does my head hurt?" I asked. The men looked at each other. Then they looked back at me.
"We're the Bluejam pirates!" they smirked. I sat in the cage.
"Oh, sorry. Doesn't ring a bell." I shrugged. They were about to tell me something else when the boat was rocked. Someone burst through the door.
"Marines!" he yelled. The pirates went into a panic.
"Um, what are marines?" I asked, but I got an answer when the door was forced open. Some men in uniforms claimed that the Bluejam pirates were under arrest.
I watched in disgust as the marines brutally beat and captured the pirates. I don't know why I was here, but I felt like I wanted to be on the pirates side. The men looked over at my cage, they came over to me.
"It's a kid. Are you okay little girl? What's your name?" One asked.
"I don't know." I shrugged.
"What do you mean you don't know? Where are from?"
"I don't know what I don't know. And I don't know." I said. They helped me out of the cage and put a hand on my head. "Ow! Don't touch me there! It hurts!" I screeched. The marine moved the straw hat that was sitting on my head.
"Whoa, that's a nasty bump. You seem to have memory loss." He told me. I pulled the straw hat back on my head, it held some sort of importance, I wanted to keep it. "You'll have to come with us." The marine said, he grabbed my hand and brought me outside.
For the first time I saw we were on the ocean. I saw an island in the distance. The man lead me onto a large ship and we sailed to the island. The other ship that looked the same was sailing in the opposite direction, I was sure those pirates were on it.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"A place called Shells town." a different marine told me. I sighed. I wanted to know who I was, and how I got all the out way here.
I leaned against a wall and closed my eyes, I was tired. But, when I started drifting off, voices roared in my ear, raging through my head.
I heard the cracking of fire, the metal sound of sword hitting sword. Was this a battle? Finally, someone said something, It sounded like me.
"Ace! Sabo!" This voice was defiantly my own, the pain in my head throbbed.
"Luffy!" I heard someone, two people, yell.
I shot forward. Ace? Sabo? Who were they? Who was Luffy? Is that me? I didn't have much time to think. The boat docked. The marines lead me off the boat and onto the island. Whatever they were going to do, I didn't want to be a marine. I felt it in my gut. So I followed my instincts. When I got off the boat, I ran.
"Hey! Kid! Wait!" someone yelled.
"Just let her go, she has amnesia and doesn't look like she had a family." Someone else said. I ignored them and ran into town.
I was walking around. In all honesty. I was scared. I didn't know who I was. And those voices kept popping up in my head. Apparently, I was Luffy. Not a bad name, I actually liked it. I wandered into an empty bar. The lady at the counter looked up at me. I must have looked pretty scared.
"Oh! Hello, are you alright?" The woman came over to me. I shook my head. I wasn't alright. This lady, she seemed familiar... a bar tender. Did I know her? Someone like her? "Well, what's wrong?" She asked when I didn't give her an answer for a while.
"I, lost my memory. I don't know, who I am, where I come from. Or anything." I sat on the ground. "And, I'm scared." I admitted.
"It's okay, it's okay. Do you have a name?" She asked, hand on my shoulder, rubbing my arm. I tried the name from my dream.
"Luffy."
When I said my name out loud, something clicked. It wasn't just Luffy. There was more, what was it? D... Luffy .D.? No... I'm still missing a piece. I know it had something to do with an animal. I got it!
"Monkey D. Luffy." I said. The bar tender lady smiled.
"Well, Luffy. You can stay with me. You can call me Ririka-san." she smiled.
"Okay!" I smiled back.
"Now lets get you cleaned up Luffy." she smiled. I nodded.
I stayed with Ririka-san for the rest of my time. But I started training. I wanted to be a pirate! The King of the Pirates! Ririka supported me, she let me train as I pleased. I got stronger, much stronger.
Ririka-san took me to a doctor a few years later. They said I might not ever get my memory back. They also said I was about 10. Anyway. I'm seventeen now. Still no memories, I know my name though. That's a start. Oh, and I learned I was rubber, and couldn't swim. Great right?
The dreams keep happening. I started seeing fire and some other kids. I think there were two... boys? Ace and Sabo... I really wonder who they were. I can never see there faces. Oh! By the way! Ririka-san had a daughter! Her name's Rika!
It was weird today. The marines arrested this man, Roronoa Zoro, he had protected the bar while I was out one day. He saved Rika and Ririka and he had been arrested? That wasn't right. But, it's also said he was a great swords man, maybe he would join my crew. I was walking along the peer. I looked out, a marine ship was driving off some pirates. Two pirates escaped and were coming over. One was a little pink haired boy, the other a fat looking ugly, lady. They docked and looked at me. The lady swung a club at me. I dodged. She glared and tried again. I moved.
"Damn brat!" She growled. I kept dodging, finally, I stretched back my arms.
"GUM GUM BAZOOKA!" I yelled, slamming her back towards the ocean. The pink haired boy looked at me in awe.
Turns out, the boy's name was Coby. He was just a stupid kid who dreamed of being a marine.
"So you're not a pirate?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No, I got on the ship by accident." he told me. "I-I thought it was a fishing boat." He muttered. I laughed at that.
"Wow, you're pretty stupid Coby!" I snickered. Coby blushed. Then I smiled at him.
"Well, you're in luck! This is the home to a Marine base! I guess I'll help you out for a bit." I told him.
"Really? You'll bring me there? You'll help me?" He asked.
"Yep! But, you need to help me!" I told him.
"You name it Luffy-chan!" he smiled. I smiled.
"Good, now, help me free Roronoa Zoro will ya?" I asked. Coby's face paled.
"R-r-r-oronoa Z-Zoro!? Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" He shook his head in fear and regret. I smiled.
"Nope! It's too late!" I grabbed his arm. "Follow me!"
When I got to the Marine base with Coby, Rika was on the other side of the gate.
"Haaa! Damn it Rika!" I hissed. I looked around. No Marines, just a man tied to a pole, he had a green bandana on, a white shirt, black pants, and a green stomach warmer around his waist. He was looking down. Well, at least it was just him. Rika would be safe. Coby scrambled up after me.
"Luffy-chan! He's not just going to be out in the open!" Coby hissed.
"What do you mean? He's right there isn't he?" I pointed at the tied up man Rika had presented with Onigiri.
"He is right there!?" Coby fell off the gate. I looked down.
"You're stupid Coby." I sighed. Then, I looked back at Zoro. There were Marines there now, they were bullying Rika. I wish I could hear what they were saying. But, then, Rika was literally THROWN OUT of the base!
"Rika-chan!" I jumped up and caught her, slamming into the ground next to Coby.
"L-Luffy-chan! Are you okay?" Coby asked.
"Yeah, I'm rubber. Nothing like this can hurt me. Right Rika-chan!" I smiled at her in my arms. She smiled back.
"Right! Thanks! Luffy-Onee chan!"
"No problem, now, get going. You gotta go home now." I told her. She nodded and ran off. So, I climbed back up the fence at looked around until I found Zoro again. Coby came up too. He was shivering next to me.
"W-what if he s-see's us?" Coby stuttered.
"He's not gonna see us. Calm down." I told him. But Then, Zoro looked right at us.
Zoro'sPOV
So freaking loud, those two. They were climbing up and down the fence. After that stupid marine son left I looked over at them. One seemed to freeze in place. The other just sat there. I couldn't make out what they looked like. It was too far. For all I knew, they weren't there at all and I was hallucinating from hunger. I haven't eaten in days. I was going to eat that Onigiri... but I can't reach it now. I kept my eyes on the two at the fence. One hopped over, the other fell over. As the people got closer, I could tell it wasn't a mirage.
One was a timid looking boy, he was round looking with pink hair. The other one... all I can say is wow. It was a girl, she was slightly tanned with dark black hair which was cut short, she had big brown eyes and was wearing a red vest which covered her chest that was generously large. And she had blues shorts and a straw hat. I wondered why she was here, So I asked.
"What do you want?" I asked coldly. The girl sat.
"I'm here to set you free!" She smiled. I looked at her curiously, was she like, the angle of death or something? I looked at the boy who stood a long distance away, behind this girl.
"I don't need saving." I told her. She looked at me like I was crazy.
"But, aren't you hungry at all?" She asked.
That was her reasoning? To save me because I was hungry?
"If you're so concerned then hand me that Onigiri." I told her.
"The one on the ground?"
"No, the one in the sky, YES THE ONE ON THE GROUND."
"Okay okay, no need to get pushy." She muttered, this girl was cute, but incredibly stupid. She held up the Onigiri. "Say 'ahhh'!" She laughed. I glared at her. Then, my face went red when I opened my mouth and she fed me the food.
"Thanks, now beat it." I told her. She sighed and stood up.
"I'll stick around, I still want you on my crew!" She pointed.
"Thats nice." I yawned. She walked away.
"Come on Coby. See you tomorrow! Zoro!" She called, then she climbed over the fence and she was gone.
Coby's POV
Luffy was scary. Scary, but, pretty and nice. Maybe not so scary after all. But that Zoro guy. I don't know what she saw in him. Why let him join her crew? I swear, Luffy's impossible. She dragged me to the gate, now she's dragging me away. She opened the door to a bar and waved at the bar tender.
"Oh! Luffy! Rika told me you would be back!" the woman smiled.
"Hiya Ririka-san!" Luffy waved, then she sat us down.
We sat in silence for a moment.
"Um, Luffy-chan?" I asked. She looked at me from a meal she was eating.
"Whats up?" She asked after swallowing her food.
"Why save Zoro?" I asked. Luffy looked at me like I was crazy.
"We went through this Coby. I want Zoro on my crew." she said plainly. Then, The door burst open.
A man surrounded by marines was riding a large, rabid wolf. The people in the bar kept there heads down. Except Luffy, of course... The man looked at her.
"Luffy! I thought you were out!" He smiled. Luffy glared at him.
"Well, Helemeppo, I was. Nice job attacking the place while I was gone. Not like you got far." Luffy taunted. "What marine imprisons someone who saves the town people?" Luffy glared. The marine on the wolf looked her over.
"Aw, don't be like that Lu-chan!" he whined.
"Get out. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow. I hope not though." Luffy said coldly. Helemeppo's face turned a bit angry.
"Oh yeah, I saw you talking with that Zoro guy earlier." he glared. "But don't worry, He'll be dead tomorrow." Helemeppo laughed.
Luffy looked up.
"What? You gave him a month!" Luffy shouted.
"You expect me to keep my word? Honestly Luffy, how long have we know each other?" Helemeppo laughed. Luffy stood I tried to grab her arm.
"Wait Luffy-chan! Don't-" But Luffy had already cracked Helemeppo in the face. Luffy proceeded to throw them out. Then, she turned to me.
"Coby. Lets go get Zoro." She said.
"Wha-" But I stopped, she was already angry. And considering what happened to that Helemeppo guy, I should stay on her good side.
Luffy dragged us back up and over the gate. She walked up to Zoro. Zoro looked up at her.
"We need to go now." Luffy smiled. Zoro turned away from her.
"I told you, I don't need your saving." he growled.
"Actually you do." Luffy sighed.
"What?" Zoro had a confused look on his face. Luffy started at his ropes. "Hey!" Zoro yelled. Luffy shushed him.
"They're gonna kill you tomorrow." Luffy told him. Zoro was silent.
Zoro's POV
What? Did I hear what I think I just heard? Kill me? TOMORROW!? Luffy was trying to untie me.
"Hey." She said after a while.
"What?" I asked
"If I save you, you have to join my crew!" Luffy smiled.
"Sure, why not." I mumbled. "But, I'm not much of a swords man without my swords." I told her.
"Well, that's no problem!" Luffy smiled. "They're in the base right?" Luffy looked at the Marine base. I nodded. "Right! Coby! Untie Zoro! I'll be back!" Then, Luffy was off. The boy, Coby, started untying me.
"Luffy-chan! Other way!" Coby called.
"Oh!" Luffy's reply came. "Gum Gum Rocket!" Luffy launched herself past us. I stood in awe.
"Did she just..." Coby looked up at me.
"Yeah, Luffy-chan's a rubber human." he told me.
I waited for Luffy to get back, that's when a large shout rang out.
"ZOOROOO! COOBYYY!" Luffy yelled. She was running, being followed by Marines. My eyes widened.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" I yelled. Luffy rushed over to me.
"Zoro! I didn't know what sword was yours so I took them all!" Luffy smiled, presenting me with three swords.
"They're all mine I use three swords." I said. Luffy smiled.
"Even better!" She cheered. Then she saw I was still tied up.
"Coby! Why is he still tied up?" Luffy yelled. Coby shrunk back and started stuttering.
"W-well, you s-see... the ropes... they're r-really t-tight." He muttered. Luffy sighed, she put my swords on the ground and started pulling at the ropes. The marines were pointing there guns at us.
"Luffy my swords!" I turned to her
"Ow ow! The knot got tighter!" Luffy whined, pulling her finger free.
"Luffy! Quit screwing around! My swords!" I yelled. She looked over at me, then shoved the swords at me. She ran forward and jumped in front of the bullets that were flying at us. The Marines took out swords now, Luffy backed up some. So u can cut rubber... But the Marines attacked her. I cut myself free to defend her.
Luffy's POV
I really thought I was done for. But Zoro had sliced the marines away from me.
"Thanks!" I smiled.
"No problem, but we have bigger problem on our hands." Zoro motioned to a large man with an axe for a hand. I grinned.
"That won't be much of an issue!" I smiled.
After a short fight, the man who I learned was 'Axe hand Morgan' was defeated. Me, Zoro, and Coby left and headed to the restaurant where Zoro and me ate our fill. Zoro didn't eat much though... maybe he wasn't that hungry after all... I shrugged and continued eating, when Zoro asked me.
"So, how many people in this crew of yours?" I looked up.
"Oh, I don't have a crew, just you. But I would like about eight people!" I said.
"So wait, it's just you and me?" He said with a confused look.
"Yep. That's right."
"And your ship? Where's your ship? I didn't see it at the harbor." He said. I looked out the window, I saw the boat that Ririka gave me.
"What are you talking about? It's right there." I said. Zoro looked out the window.
"That little thing!?" He laughed. I pouted.
"Well! I'm going to get a big one! A really big huge one!" I daydreamed about how wonderful my ship would be.
But, Zoro kept laughing.
Zoro's POV
I couldn't stop laughing. I don't remember laughing like this! Ever! Her boat, it was so small compared to the pirate ships I've seen! She seemed a bit angry. But it was just so damn funny. I sat down as some marines came into the bar. I kept low, as did Luffy. We exchanged looks. A look that said 'This could mean trouble'
Coby's POV
The marines came in while Luffy's friend was sitting down. I was honestly scared. Had they come to arrest us? Arrest Luffy and Zoro? I glanced out of the side of my seat, only to be pulled back in by Luffy.
"Coby." She hissed. "I'm leaving you here. On this island." She told me. I looked over at her, shocked.
"What?" I whispered back. "I thought you would make me a marine, like you promised." Luffy put a finger to her lips.
"And I will. Just follow my lead." She smirked. I sighed. When the marines called the pirates out, Luffy forced me to stand with her and Zoro.
"You two, your under arrest." He looked pointedly at Luffy and Zoro. I noticed the firm grip Luffy had on the back of my shirt. Like I was her hostage. I glanced at Zoro, he was simply playing along with his new captain.
I had no clue what was going on. Luffy went back and fourth, arguing with the marine that Morgan was abusing his power. How he arrested Zoro for protecting lives. But then the Marine looked at me.
"Who's he?" he asked.
"This? Just some kid. He keeps babbling about being a marine." Zoro gave my arm a push as he spoke.
"Does he have any connection with you or any pirate?" The marine asked. I forced my smile away. If Luffy and Zoro both said no, then I would be home free! I could be a marine! But, Luffy smiled.
"Actually, I met Coby a little while ago." Luffy started. I looked up at her, shocked again. Was she going to say it? How I was enslaved by Alvida? "The only reason He was obligated to help me was because when we met he was-" I couldn't take it anymore. If That got out... I couldn't be a marine! My dream! It would be ruined! Why would Luffy...
I let my anger get the best of me. I pulled away from Luffy and punched her as hard as I could. When I registered what had happened, I took a step back. Luffy was fearsome, especially when she was angry... and I could see she was mad. She pulled back to return the punch. Which was sure to send me flying. When Zoro grabbed her arm and the marine yelled at us.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" He shouted. "It's clear this boy has no connection with either if you. Leave this island peacefully!" Zoro and Luffy walked out. I looked to the side, ashamed. I had hurt Luffy, after she saved me... but she was going to- wait.. what's that? I picked a piece of paper from the table when the marines followed Luffy. It was a note. It had childish handwriting, no doubt it was from Luffy.
Dear Coby-
Look, if you're reading this, me and Zoro are
long gone. I'm sorry if I went a bit to far. If we
had just said 'no' they would have been
suspicious. We had to show, show that you
really had no connection other than a helpless
captive. So, this is goodbye. Or rather, See you
later!
-Luffy & Zoro
I crumpled the letter and shoved it in my pocket. Then, I ran out to the port where Luffy and Zoro were already sailing.
"Thank you." I muttered.
"Those are some great friends you have." The marine smiled down at me.
"Wha- how did you?" But he cut me off.
"Men! Salute!" He yelled. All the marines saluted. Then he looked at me. "You too." He smirked. I smiled.
"Yes sir!" I saluted and watched Luffy and Zoro sail off.
Luffy's POV
I sat with Zoro on the ship. It had been about a day since we left. Zoro was napping. I looked up when a gust of wind blew the hat off my head. Like I said, that hat, it hold importance. I reached for it.
"Zoro! Catch it!" I yelled. I reached but almost fell, Zoro gripped me around my waist and reached out, since her was taller, he grabbed it no problem.
"Here." he plopped it back on my head. "Whats so special about your hat anyway?" Zoro yawned.
"I don't know." I sighed, pulling it tight on my head.
"What?" He said, confused.
"You see, when I was little, I woke up in a cage on a pirate ship. I had no memories of my life before then. But this hat. It feels important ya know?" I smiled, then yawned it was late. Zoro sighed.
"Memory loss huh? Must be hard. Not knowing where you come from and all." He yawned. I shrugged.
"You get use to it. Plus, now I can make new memories." I smiled, then we started off to sleep.
That night, I had a dream.
I was younger, sitting in a bar. I couldn't see anyone;s face, but I could tell, this was a party. Everyone was cheering and laughing. The only person I could see, was a man with red hair. He was sitting next to me on a stool.
"So Shanks, you're really leaving?" I said sadly. Shanks? This man? Who's Shanks? Well, the man shrugged.
"I guess I am. But, I want you to have something." he smiled at me.
"Really! What is it!" I cheered. Then, something plopped on my head. It was the straw hat. I pulled it down. "Your hat?" I said.
"It hold so many memories. I want you to take it. Your sure to have many great adventures." he smiled. I smiled back.
"Wow! Thanks Shanks!" I smiled widely.
I woke up. Shanks... this is all I can remember of him. Nothing more.. he must have been special to me. I should keep this hat. I smiled. Though, I do wish I could remember my time with this Shanks person. I looked over at Zoro, he was fast asleep.
"I should get back to sleep too." I yawned. Then I went off into a dreamless sleep.
That's the beginning! What do you think? I love amnesia! Well, not like that... its fun to write about it. Well, you know what I mean. Anyway, this is going to be fun! And interesting! Well, until next time! Later!
