Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece, I only own my OC, Sora.
Author's Note:
I will begin by saying that this is my first story and ask that you kindly leave comments below, please and thank you. I will also say that I did take a little creative license with this chapter seeing as nothing specific was ever mentioned about Luffy's mother or if Dragon was ever married or that Dragon ever saw Luffy while he was an infant. This is NOT a self-insert, just an OC that I created a while ago.
Rating: T? I don't really know, it might get changed later, I mean I know that there will probably be swearing when I think it's called for… haha, let's just hope that my mind doesn't trip and land face first in the gutter later.
Chapter One- The Beginning:
I know I died… so why am I now trapped in the body of a baby?! I mean I think that someone would probably remember dying in a horrific car accident via drunk driver. Well maybe they wouldn't but I do. I suppose I should start from the beginning, since I apparently have plenty of time (one does not do much of anything when one is a newborn). My name is (or was) Ashlyn Smith and I am(was) an avid anime fan; Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Ouran High School Host club, and many more, I loved almost all of them (except Attack on Titan, sorry). When I died, I expected to cease existing, being the atheist I was but apparently there is a god out there and he/she has a sadistic sense of humor. Hmm… maybe it's Jashin {Naruto reference, if you don't know and are curious look up Hidan} he would certainly fit the sadistic part, perhaps I'll start swearing by him.
Ah, I'm getting sidetracked.
So when I died I must have passed out, in a sense, because when I was able to consciously think again (however muddled and confused it might have been at the time) I was in a place where it was warm and pitch black, I almost freaked out but the comforting feeling of being here kept that from happening. I felt warm, safe, and comfortable with my surroundings as if I had been there for a while but was not aware at the time. It was a long time before anything of note really happened, before that I would wake and sleep periodically and try to stave off imminent boredom.
Then it happened, I felt something nudge me in the darkness. I thought I had been alone in this place so when I discovered there was something else here with me, I was scared, really scared. I will admit I did freak out for a while as my traitor brain recalled all sorts of dangerous things the something could be. After I had calmed myself down, I checked my surroundings with greater attention and took note that I had a neighbor in the darkness. Apparently I had become aware before my neighbor had, thus they probably only just started moving which is the probable cause of my being unaware of them. I could not sense any malicious intent from my new neighbor, only vague curiosity, so I decided to keep an open mind.
As time wore on, my neighbor and I started to become close, we could predict what the other would do and would often have random wars of poking each other in which neither won because we kept at it until we both fell asleep. I began to harbor sibling-like affection for my neighbor and affectionately started calling them Chris because the name could either be male or female. I didn't know why then, but as time went on in the darkness it started getting smaller and smaller, it was honestly getting a little cramped between Chris and I.
This continued for a while, until a certain day arrived. The day of our birth.
It was both terrifying and traumatizing when I looked back on it. My neighbor and I were having another poke war when suddenly the already cramped darkness became painfully tight as the walls closed in around us. Suddenly, Chris was gone and I was so scared for them, what could have happened? I got my answer only moments later when I got the feeling of being squeezed painfully through a narrow tube. I mourned the loss of the warm and comforting darkness as cold air slapped me roughly across the face. What happened next was a bit of a blur, I suppose I was handed over to a doctor or nurse cleaned and then checked over for any problems. All the while I was screaming at the top of my lungs, as was Chris from what little I could hear. I remember Chris and I were handed to somebody whom was probably our mother, I opened my eyes to get a look at her, I couldn't really see all that well but even I could tell she was stunningly beautiful; she had the most amazing shade of sky blue eyes, and black as pitch hair. I then looked over to my new twin brother, he had the look of a newborn alright, wrinkly and red, with a mop of black hair and dark eyes.
The doctor then started speaking. "Futago no kenzen'na setto wa, 1 shōnen to hitori no on'nanoko wa, karera ga on'nanoko no me no tamede wanai baai dō ichidesu."
"Watashi no otto wa koko ni narimasu toki, karera wa, anata ga ryōhō no utsukushī shitte imasu ka?" asked my mother weakly, "Watashi wa watashi ga sorera ni namae o tsukeru toki ni, kare wa koko ni itaidesu."
All I remember thinking was, 'Great, now I have to learn to speak Japanese fluently, thank Jashin I already know basic phrases and words from actually going on a trip there with my friends once. I picked up the words both, beautiful, when, husband, want, him, here, and name from my new mother. Then suddenly the door burst open and I saw a man rush in, he must be our father, looks like Mom wouldn't have to wait long. I tried to take a closer look at my father but he was too far away for me to see clearly, damn newborn eyesight.
"Watashi wa, Natsumi okuremashita mōshiwake arimasen. Watashi wa sore ga I o nogashimasendeshita" Dad said apologetically to Mom. Dad then turned his gaze to Chris and I, "Tsuinzu? Otokonokotoon'nanoko? Kanojo wa Natsumi anata no me o motte imasu. Anata wa karera ni namae o tsuketai nodesu ka?"
Mom smiled as she replied "Ā, dono yō ni watashi wa watashitachi no musuko ni namae o tsukete, anata wa watashitachi no musume no namae ni tsuite? Anata wa, aisuru kanojo o shitai to omoimasu ka?"
Dad then nodded his head and moved closer to us. Mom started shifting me around and I felt large hands grab me. 'Oh she probably asked if Dad wanted to hold me' I honestly had not been paying attention to their conversation as I was too busy having a staring contest with my new twin brother. I looked up at Dad now that he was closer so that I could actually see what he looked like, and I was really, really surprised when I recognized him. Yes, he was younger but I would recognize that face tattoo anywhere, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon. 'Oh, crap. I never really got passed the Sky Island Arc because I hated it with a burning passion. At least I know about Franky and Brooke though, oh and Law can't forget him' I snapped out of my thoughts when Dragon started talking to me.
"U ̄ n, anata no namae, e~tsu? Ā! Shitte imasu!" I didn't really catch that first part but then Dragon started talking slowly to me. "Anata no namae wa monkī· D· Soradesu." he told me, grinning. He said "Your name is Monkey D. Sora".
I heard Mom laugh and say "Monkī· D· Sora, u ̄n. Watashi wa, anata ga tadashī, nazenara kanojo no me no kanojo no sora no namae o suisoku shite imasu ka?" she then spoke slowly to my brother, "Sate, watashi wa anata no monkī· D· rufi namae o tsukemashou!". She said "Well then, I'll name you Monkey D. Luffy". Mom and Dad both smiled at each other, only for Dragon's smile to slip off his face a moment later.
"Natsumi wa, anata wa watashi ga migi no kodomo no koro no ichibu to suru koto ga dekinaku narimasu shitte imasu ka? Jissai ni, karera wa watashi ga dare ni itta koto ga nai yō ni shite kudasai. Watashi wa hitoridake watashi no namae kara kikende sorera matawa anata o oku hitsuyō wa arimasen. Watashi wa kakumei-gun no rīdā ni naru koto o keikaku, sekai seifu o haishi suru hitsuyō ga arimasu. Anata wa ima made anata ga watashinochichi ni renraku shite kudasai nani ga hitsuyōna baai wa, kare wa itsumo anatagasuki de, kare wa mago o motte iru koto o shitte shiawase ni narimasu. Anata wa, watashi wa gozen-chū ni nokoshi suru ni tanomanode, watashi wa kyō dake koko ni kita... Gomen'nasai." Dad seemed pretty serious as he spoke to Mom. Dragon talked to fast for me to understand, but I did catch the words, leave, morning, and sorry near the end.
My guess is that Dad is planning to leave us to protect us, because I remember from the story that Dragon was never mentioned as being there in Luffy's childhood and his mother wasn't ever really mentioned at all… wait does that mean Mom is going to die? Because Mom doesn't seem like the kind of woman who would abandon her children… wasn't Luffy raised by mountain bandits and that's how he met Ace and Sabo, and then later didn't he stay with Makino after Garp trained him to be strong? Ahhh, our childhood is going to be hell! I really hope I survive Garp's training too… this is going to suck.
A/N: So what do you guys think? Is it okay? Please leave comments below, reviews are most welcome. Questions about future story aspects are also welcome, talking and listening to you guys might give me some good ideas, I'll try to credit anyone who gives me said ideas.
No planned pairings as of yet
Also I'm not really going to go very in depth with their childhood next chapter, it'll be more like a brief summary before going into when Luffy and Sora set off for the first time.
I will also tell you that I do plan on giving Sora devil fruit powers, but you will have to wait and see to find out what they are.
-See ya later, Drakon-Flame out! XD
