A/N. Here's episode 1. I am really glad you guys like it. I've already got five reviews, and a lot of people , by my standards anyway, have either placed this story on their alerts or favorited. Right now, I'm just writing random fanfics, but there is a poll up on my page. I would be really glad if you participated, as I want to know what anime, game, cartoon, or whatever you want me to write a fanfic about next. The choices are only ones that I know of, as I can't write a fanfic about something I have absolutely no knowledge about. Please participate, as I want to know what you guys think. Thank you! Now for the Rview Replies;
To Umbra8191: Thank you for your kind review. Here is the next update you were waiting for. Please tell me what you think afterwards.
To Kitsumi-sama: Yep! This has nothing to do with One Piece: Queen of the Seas though. Thank you for your review by the way. I am happy that you think it is a good idea. This story is not related in any shape or form to the other Fem!Luffy fanfic I have, but you probably already knew that. Now as to your question concerning what Devil Fruit Luffy ate, I will answer that after I have replyed to two others, so please keep reading and you will get your answer along with IndigoButterfly, who also asked a similar question. I feel it is easier to answer them all at once rather then repeat myself, sorry, and please be patient with me, as I am still working out the kinks with the Fruit itself.
To IndigoButterfly: As I stated before, you answer will come after I have finished this sections, as I did not explain the Devil Fruit clearly enough in the last chapter. Please be patient with me as I will try to wrap this up quickly. Thank you for your review by the way, and I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.
To TheBlackSeaReaper: Since this seems to be a common question, I will devote a small to medium sized (hopefully) section of the chapter to explain it before I start the story. Please be patient with me, and thank you for your kind review, and for pointing out the spelling error. Also YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY! 9.9 I didn't do absolutely horrible on it! YAY!
*Ahem* Please continue to read what I like to call "Luffy's Devil Fruit Fun Facts!", a special section deticated to all of you who may have questions concerning Luffy's Devil Fruit abilities and which Devil Fruit she actually ate.
Now you all have a question concerning Luffy's Devil Fruit abilities I'm sure. So in order to sate your curiosity, I came up with this little section to explain things. Hopefully it's not too long and tedious, I will try to keep it as interesting as possible. If you have any questions after reading this please either PM me or place them in a review. Thank you.
IndigoButterfly asked a good question in her/his review, "will Luffy have eaten the gomu gomu no mi or a different one?" First of all Luffy has already eaten the Devil Fruit before she met Ace, Sabo, and the others. She ate it when she was two. Second, to answer your question, no she did not eat the gomu gomu no mi, maily because I wanted to be original when it came to Luffy's Devil Fruit powers, as there are not a whole lot of these out there. So it is a different Devil Fruit.
This is an answer to both TheBlackSeaReaper and to Kitsumi-sama. She ate a Mythical Zoan type. The reason is because of the fact that I have recently discovered that I seem to have a slight obsession with that particular Devil Fruit...Most likely from the fact that Marco is my favorite character. Now as for the type of Mythical Zoan, since they don't seem to have names for these types, and just descriptions for the fruit
Luffy ate a devil fruit that allows her to change into a Storm Bird, a type of Mythical Bird that is unique to legends from Skypeia. Despite it's name, Luffy cannot control the weather or summon storms, as she is actually only able to control the direction of the winds and electricity to some extent. She is as fast as Kizaru in her transformed state, but with her being four years old currently, she cannot perform this level of speed yet. The reason Storm Birds were called what they were called was because in ancient times, they could only be seen during times of fierce storms, flying through high level hurricanes as if it were a clear sunny day. They are currently extinct, with the only one in existence being Luffy, who ate the Devil Fruit that turns you into one. These are NOT all powerful creatures, they are just really, really fast.
The one weakness this Devil Fruit has is Sea Prism Stone, as since the oceans are affected by storms, Luffy is not affected when submerged, and can still swim.
Well that is all for now concerning Luffy's Devil Fruit abilities. Again, if you have ANY questions, please either review or PM me. I do not mind. Thank you and enjoy the story.
Episode Summary: It has been a week since White Beard placed Dawn Island under his protection. The citizens that are still living there have all become used to White Beard and his crews prescence, quickly establishing White Beard as the Hero of the Island, and a kind man. That is all except the trio of children known as Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. Though the pirates did save Sabo's life, the children aren't about to go trusting a bunch of strangers, especially Ace and Sabo. And they make this little fact well known to the group of pirates as they cause mayhem among the ranks. Can Marco convince the kids to accept the man that he considers a father?
Please read, the summary may suck, but the story's hopefully better then it sounds in the summary. Eheheheh...
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE! ODA-SENSEI DOES!
Episode 1: Making Peace on Rocky Waters!
Makino's Tavern-
Whitebeard and his 13 commanders were currently partying, having had not an ounce of trouble from anyone during their stay on the island. In fact, they were regarded as heros among all of the inhabitants-
CRASH!
Except for the three troublemaking siblings, of course. They were sweet kids, perfectly fine, considering the fact that just one of them could bring down one a fully grown man three times their size all on their own. And that was just the four year old little sister. According to Makino, the kids names, from oldest to youngest, were Sabo, Ace, and Luffia, though she preferred it if you called her Luffy. Appearantly there was a rumor that had been going about. Supposedly all three of them had eaten a Devil Fruit, and so as a result, the trio were known as the Devil Siblings, though the name fit regardless of whether or not they had Devil Fruit powers. For instance, right now.
At some point during the party, Ace had snuck in and smashed a bottle of alcohol on top of Thatch's head. Of course the boy quickly got away to avoid suspicion from the others. Despite being seen by Marco, Jozu, and Whitebeard himself, all chaos reigned supreme as a bar fight started up, when Thatch, in his drunkenness, hit the nearest person to him, blaming him for it. The trio of siblings sat off to the side, in rapt amusement, as the majority of the Whitebeard Pirates began beating each other to a pulp. Their entertainment ended though, when Whitebeard finally intervened, deciding that despite how funny it was that just one little brat could get all of them fighting each other, it was a bad idea to let them wreck Makino's bar.
They all finally settled own, and when Whitebeard turned to the children, they were long gone. The old pirate captain heaved a sigh as once again, the children had proven quite clearly, that they did not welcome the Whitebeard Pirates. He began to wonder about what he should do to get the kids to stop causing so much trouble. Marco seeing his captain's little dilema, decided to make the man's job easier, and left in search of the Troublesome Trio, which was a nickname that the whole crew had come up with one day after another one of their little incidents, and see if he could get them to at least stop causing so much havoc around town and with the crew.
He didn't have to search long, as it appeared that Luffy had either stayed or been left behind, most likely by accident if the latter was the case. The four year old was napping on a crate, curled in what had to be the tightest ball he had ever seen. He gave a gentle smile as he bent down to wake up the little girl. She stirred slightly, before finally opening her eyes, grinning when she saw Marco, who according to Ace, seemed to have aa similar Devil Fruit ability to hers. She immediately sat up, completely attentive as she gave the man a cheerful grin. Marco returned it with a friendly one, and decided that if he wanted answers, he should probably ask her.
"Hey there, you're Luffia, ri-" he didn't get to finish as an irritated Luffy hit him on the head, before correcting him vehemently,
"It's Luffy, Lou-ffie! Call me Luffy, not Luffia!" she said determinedly. Marco laughed a little as he rubbed the top of his head, nodding in understanding as he spoke up again,
"Yeah, yeah okay. Luffy-" she beamed at him in approval, "-Why is it that your brothers keep causing so much trouble for us? I know that they're not too fond of us, but seriously, if they keep it up, there's gonna be a problem." he asked her inqeuisitively. Luffy looked at him in shock, before shaking her head in disagreement.
"No, no, no!" she replied, confusing Marco. He wondered what she meant, but quickly resolved that feeling as she explained it to him,
"It's not that we're not fond of you, in fact, we're really glad you're here! The thing is, we wanted to test ya!" she said, hoping down from the crater and grabbing his hand. "We wanted to see what you guys were like, it was Ace's idea!"she would have continued if Ace himself, hadn't come up and grabbed his sister's wrist, before tugging her away from the first division commander. Ace looked back at the man, giving him a nod of what seemed like slight approval, before leaving down a dark alleyway, Luffy herself, not far behind. The girl paused to wave good-bye to the man, before continueing after her brother. Marco had to sigh at this new bought of information. So they were just testing them, huh? It already seemed like he had already won some of their approval, but he'd need to get them to approve of the whole crew to get them to stop causing trouble most likely. He had a lot of work ahead of him.
Later that week-
Luffy was busy playing at the cliffs, bored out of her mind though. It was been awhile since they had pranked the Whitebeard Crew, as Ace had decided to give them all a break after she told them what Marco had said to her. This had left some the town and crew unsettled, as the three kids hadn't even shown up in town, save Luffy who went to do some minor shopping, and she never stayed long, getting what she needed and left immediately afterwards. At least it was quiet, though some of them were missing the children's mischievous prescence slightly.
Luffy was playing tightrope walker, a game Dadan used to have her play so that she'd stop tripping all over herself. She had been quite clumsy in the past, and as a result, often dropped things. This had gotten on her caretakers last nerve, so the game was invented to fix that a bit. It worked. Now she did it for fun, instead of correcting clumsiness.
She was teetering a bit too close to the edge of the cliff, and by extension, a very deadly drop, and it didn't help when Ace and Sabo came in suddenly, scaring the girl and causing her to jump over the edge by accident. The two borthers panicked as they rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Their sister was clinging precariously to the side of the cliff, it was obvious that she couldn't hold on for long. And if she fell, she could die, as that was a very big drop intot he ocean for a four year old. Sabo attempted to figure out a solution, which he did quite quickly, and immediately began instructing Ace on what to do.
"Ace! You stay here and make sure Luffy doesn't panick any, got it?" he demanded as he made his way to leave. Ace looked back at his older brother and asked,
"yeah, but what are you gonna do?" he looked extremely worried, Sabo gave a grimace before speaking,
"Getting help. There's no way we'll be able to get to her, we need somebody to help!" Ace nodded in understanding. If Sabo idn't hurrry, they could lose their little sister forever. Sabo took off at a sprint, only speeding up as Luffy called out, her voice overflowing with fear,
"ACE! SABO! HELP ME!" she sounded close to tears, and Luffy rarely cried, or was scared.
On the Moby Dick-
Marco was relaxing on the deck of the ship, when he saw a rather frantic looking Sabo running through town, most likely looking for was about to go see what the problem was, when he haulted, feeling Pops prescence behind him. He looked back at that man shortly, before continueing his small descent to the docks. Whitebeard followed shortly after him. Marco ran up to the panickiing boy woh immediately looked at least somewhat relieved at the sight of him, even more so when he spotted Whitebeard.
"What's the matter with you? You look like something bad happ-" he didn't get to finish as Sabo grabbed hold of his arm and began tugging violently to get him to come with him.
"It's Luffy! She was playing near the cliffs and fell, she needs help!" he said in a panicked voice, as he continued to tug. Marco's and Whitebeard's eyes widened at this, and quickly took off, Marco grabbing hold of Sabo as they headed in the direction of the cliffs. Hopefully they would make it in time.
Back at the Cliffs-
Luffy was still hanging on to the edge of the cliffside, but barely, as her hands were beginning to slip. She heard Ace's excited voice from above as it seemed Sabo had returned with help. Luffy sighed in relief as she spotted Marco and Whitebeard looking down at her from above. She tried to pull herself farther up, only for the rocks to break. Luffy's eyes widened as everything seemed to go in slow-motion. She thoguht she was about to die, and closed her eyes, preparring for what imght be a very paiinful landing. but she never hit water or ground, as Marco had caught the girl. Her eyes opened in shock as Marco's voice rang out,
"You okay?" he asked as he flew back up, landing near the tree line, and placed Luffy on the ground carefully. The girl was slightly shaking still, out of fear, but was otherwise unharmed. She suddenly glomped onto Marco, much to the shock of both himself and his captain. Luffy was crying, actually sobbing hysterically, into the man's shirt. Marco gently patted the girl's head, trying to reassure her that she was safe, and that everything was fine. Ace and Sabo came up as well, relieved that their little sister was safe, and extremely grateful to Marco for saving her. The two borthers looked back at Whitebeard, content to leaving the calming of the girl to the Phoenix, while they resolved to confront Whitebeard.
"Mmm...Thanks...for helping to save Luffy..." Ace said, obviously not used to having to thank others for helping, as usually he never needed any help from anyone other then his brother and sister. Whitebeard knelt down in front of the two brothers, not at all minding the position, as he knew that children liked it when an adult decided to talk to them at their level, rather then forcing the children to look up to them. Sabo spoke up, deciding that Ace had done enough, as it took a lot of effort for Ace to swallow his pride, and thank someone, let alone apologize. Since Whitebeard seemed to know this as well, Sabo went right on ahead,
"And sorry for all the trouble we caused you and your crew." he said, a lot less hesitant then Ace. Whitebeard gave a fatherly smile to thetwo, before gently patting them on tehir heads, a sign that they were indeed forgiven, and that there was no hard feelings between them. In truth, all three children, though Luffy was still crying slightly, felt as if they had finally found that family they had all been missing, the father figue that they had all wanted. Luffy finally calmed down, with a little help from Marco, and was now sniffling occasionally. She walked up to Whitebeard slowly, Marco not far behind her. She hadn't let go of the man, as she was currently holding his hand, and seemed to not want to let go yet. She stopped infront of Whitebeard, and after some inner-debating, she released ehr grip on Marco, and immediately proceeded to glomp onto Whitebeard's leg. This was to the the shock of her brothers, and amusement to the two pirates, as Luffy rarely did this to people, only ones she truly and unquestioningly trusted.
Whitebeard gently patted the girl on her head, before carefully lifting her up, and placing her on his shoulder, as the man was big enough, that the girl just looked like a tiny doll in comparison. Luffy rubbed any remaining tears out of her eyes, before yawning slightly, tired from the days excitement. Whitebeard decided to scold the girl a bit before letting her sleep, telling her to not play near the cliffs again without adult supervision. The girl nodded, before finally dozing off, followed shortly after by Ace and Sabo, who were both exhausted. The last thing they heard from the three before they all fell asleep, caused the two pirates smile,
"Okay...Pops..." the children had finally accepted them, an now in a way, they were part of the family now. Marco laughed slightly as he realized that he now had two little brothers, and one little sister, and proceeded to head back to town, Ace and Sabo in his arms as he carried them. Marco couldn't help but think as he took the time to watch the sleeping children as they walked, 'Our family just got bigger, and definitely more troublesome.' he had to chuckle at these thoughs.
He couldn't help but notice though, that during their sleep, the children's bodies began to exhibit weird traits. Small fires ran across Ace's skin, though he didn't seem bothered by it, Sabo's body seemed to vanish slighlty, before reappearing, and Luffy was sparking with extremely small amounts of electricity. Marco's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he looked at Whitebeard, who had also noticed. His face, was dead serious now. They would have to question the children on this later, when they were awake.
A/N. So what did you guys think? Please review and tell me what you think, see ya and bye!
Luffy, Ace, & Sabo: Bye-Bye!
