(Dawn Island- East Blue)
When Luffy awoke, she was back in the crumbled temple, dawn's first light creeping above the trees and appearing through cracks in the marble. The rags she had worn yesterday were all gone, replaced by finery. In place of her shorts, she now had a loose black sarong around her waist that hung to her left, revealing most of her right leg, a purple cloth sash, with beads and gold coins hung from it, used for a belt to hold the Sarong up. Her sandals were gone, her bare feet touching the floor, though she felt no discomfort from their loss. Luffy's tattered shirt was now also gone, a white long sleeve with a waist clincher that was a deep purple name in colour, graced her torso, snuggly fit.
She looked around, for any sign that what she had seen last night was real, only to lay eyes on the meat that had been held in Slaanesh's hand, now resting on the pedestal that had held her fruit, along with the same pair of earrings that Slaanesh had been wearing earlier. Taking the earrings and hanging them on her sash, endeavouring to ask Makino how to pierce her ears later, Luffy grabbed the meat, finding it still quite warm to the touch and proceeded to eat it.
With her belly finally full, Luffy peered out of the hole she had come in, only to find the wolves from last night sleeping in front of the temple. 'Perfect. Damn it… OH, screw Jiji's stupid rules.' As she prepared to attack the wolves unaware, she was caught unaware herself.
"Wait!" The cry of her new Kaachan resounding through Luffy's ears, caused her to comically faceplant mid-leap, landing just before the doorway with a sweatdrop on the back of her head. Those angelic giggles reached her ears again, though they were slightly mocking in tone, like an older sibling tricking their younger sibling into doing something stupid.
"Did I call you at a bad time?" Slaanesh said amusingly. Luffy managed to pull her face out of the dent she left in the floor, thinking about what had just happened. "Slaanesh-Kaachan?" She proceeded to look around the Chamber finding nothing. A quite confused look appeared on the little girl's face 'I thought I heard Slaanesh-Kaachan…' That giggle again. "Who is to say that you didn't, my little Masque?"
'Y…You're in my head again?' An extremely confused Luffy asked. "Indeed, Syrena. Indeed I am. I am using the Mark on the back of your hand to talk to you. Before you ask, you are Syrena. It is…" Realising that Luffy would have no idea what a Daemonic name is, Slaanesh decided to use a different explanation. "… Your name, but one that only a god can tell you. Everyone has a secret name, but only a few get told what theirs is. Remember to keep it a secret, don't want everyone knowing about it do we?" In reply, Luffy started celebrating, shouting "Secret Name! Secret Name!", while dancing around the chamber.
Though Slaanesh found this quite amusing, and a tad cute, she had started talking for a purpose. "Syrena, what if I told you, there was a way for you to beat them without touching them?" Luffy blinked for a couple of seconds before saying, "Are you trying to trick me? How can I beat them up, without beating them up?"
"Hmmmm… a variety of ways. But I said "beat them" not beat them up. You could collapse the building on top of them for example. I need it no longer. It only existed to house the fruit, and since you ate it, it no longer has any use. But I know not how you could bring the building down." Slaanesh's voice became thoughtful at this point."You have no idea how to use the powers I gave you, apart from maybe being able to summon your half-transformation again, or perhaps even summoning select parts of your transformation, like the legs or the claw. IF you don't want to destroy the temple, you could try and trick them. You won't be able to charm them, nor to reason with them, since they are just beasts. I see very few options, little Masque."
'What about the kick-thing?' Luffy's innocent voice supplied with an accompanying shrug. "Kick thing?" 'Yeah, the kick-thing Jiji taught me. It cuts things."
Slaanesh thought about this, cursing the fact that she only had looked at Luffy's personality and mind, trying to learn the best way to deal with her new champion, and didn't think to look at the way she fought. "Imagine it."
'What?" was Luffy's intelligent reply. "Imagine it. Picture it in your head. I want to see what you mean." Slaanesh elaborated, slightly frustrated. Why must her new champion be a child? An idiot child? Oh well… beggars couldn't be choosers.
"Kay!" Came the exuberant return. Images flashed by and random words. It wasn't as precise as Slaanesh would have liked it but it did its job. Images of Garp talking about a group of Techniques called The Rokushiki, or The Six Powers flashed by, and his demonstrations as well; Garp forcing one of his fingers through a foot of steel, Garp jumping in mid-air, Garp tensing his body, taking a cannon ball to the torso with no damage, Garp dodging attacks by swaying like a leaf, Garp moving faster than a Daemonette, Garp kicking the air in front of him, a blade of air appearing, cutting down a section of a forest. More happened after that, but Slaanesh had seen all she needed to see at the moment, she could examine the rest later.
This plane was even more impressive than she thought. Creating Psyker-like abilities just by physically training the body to extreme levels? Incredible.
"Rankyaku. Am I correct, Syrena?" Tempest Kick. An apt name. 'Ummmm… I think so. Sound about right. Jiji taught me how to do the paper-thing, the finger-thing, and the kick-thing.'
Rankyaku. Tempest Kick. The ability to kick fast and hard enough to create slicing winds.
Shigan. Finger Pistol. The ability to pierce the human body like a bullet, using only a finger.
Kami-e. Paper Art. The ability to move like paper in the wind, dodging all attacks thrown at you.
An impressive repertoire of skill. One that could be greatly evolved if give the proper training, by the proper tutor. "Syrena…" Slaanesh's voice was such a dangerous purr in her head; that Luffy shivered from the tone, in fear or in excitement, she wasn't sure. The promise it held was subtle, but it was immense, though whether it was promise of reward or pain was unsure. "… When is your Grandfather coming back to get you?"
Luffy thought about this for a couple of minutes before answering. "Ummmm… I think in about a month or two. He said um… ummm… He would be back in two months… that was… sun went up… sun went down…" This devolved into rambled mumbling. "almost two weeks ago… I think… I don't have a Calendar…" Luffy's response ended with an embarrassed smile and her scratching the back of her head.
'Forty-eight days, give or take.' Thought Slaanesh, smirking the whole while. 'This actually advances my plans beautifully. I was going to wait until she was next thrown into the jungle, but this is a brilliant opportunity.'
"Syrena, walk toward the pedestal. Place your right hand upon it. I'm going to bring you back to My Realm, for some training. I will bring you back, before your Grandfather shows up, I promise." With a shrug, Luffy touched the pedestal, and in a flash of Pink, Purple and Black light, she was gone.
(Slaanesh's Palace- The Warp)
A flash of glaring light materialised in the middle of the Throne room, sending the daemonettes serving Slaanesh personally, combing her white hair, feeding her delicacies, giving her massages up and down her body, feel to the floor, blinded, screaming in either pain or ecstasy. Slaanesh sighed, before giggling. 'Why did I forget that would happen?' "Whoops…" Slaanesh said with too little sincerity, before Luffy stepped out of the light.
"Now where is Slaanesh-Kaachan…?" Luffy said, looking around confusedly, searching for the same woman from yesterday.
"Syrena dear…" Slaanesh said alluringly, causing Luffy to turn her head wildly until she saw a quite disturbing but beautiful woman on her Kaachan's throne.
"Who are you to call me that?! Only Kaachan gets to call me that! Where's my Kaachan and what are you doing in her chair!?" Luffy yelled at "The New Woman"
Slaanesh giggled. She had forgotten how simple her new Masque could be at times. On the plus side, that gamble to create an emotional attachment really paid off, devotion and protectiveness was coming off the little girl in droves. "Like this you mean?" As she shifted back into the form she was wearing during their last visit, before changing back. This gained a "Sugoi!" from Luffy, before she went and sat down on Slaanesh's lap, hugging her Kaachan's midriff.
Chuckling at how easily impressed her Champion was, Slaanesh decided to explain some things. "Little one…" eliciting a curious look "This is what I actually look like. The way I looked before is what you will look like when you are in your late teens."
"Really!? I'm gonna be that pretty and tall?" Luffy said, stars sparkling in her eyes as her excitement overcame her. Slaanesh started laughing again. "Shehehehehehehe… No, Syrena… Shehehehehehe… ha, that was funny…" Luffy crossed her arms and started to pout at this point. "No, you will look that pretty. But you won't be that tall, my dear." Luffy's eyes were sparkling again.
"Now Syrena… I would like you to do something for me." Luffy's eyes stopped sparkling and took on a curious look. "Yes Kaachan? Whatcha want me ta do?" Luffy had forgotten how beautiful her Kaachan's smiles could be, and they seemed even prettier when she looked like this.
"Silva!" One of the loincloth bearing, demon women from yesterday, showed up before her kaachan's throne. "I would like you to spar with Syrena here" Slaanesh commanded, before leaning into Luffy's ear and whispering, "This is a Daemonette. One of my warriors. She doesn't get to be called my Daughter, only you do." This made Luffy bristle with pride. "She is Jealous of you. And she will try and kill you, so you must fight to kill her. Do you understand, Musume?"
Luffy's face took on a visage so serious it caused Slaanesh to wonder if this was a completely different child. "I understand perfectly, Kaasama." Luffy said as she hopped off of Slaanesh's lap to fight the Demon woman in front of her. 'KaaSAMA? This may be a bit more interesting than I thought…' Slaanesh thought deviously.
'Try and take me away from Kaasama, will she?' Luffy cracked her neck. 'We'll see about that…' and she took a stance in front of the offender.
Luffy's stance was light-footed, obviously designed for speed. She was on the balls of her feet, her left leg bent in front of her, her right leg stretched straight out toward the back. Her left arm was held in front of her as if to ward off attacks, while her right was held out behind her, straight but hanging loosely. Luffy nodded, signalling the fight to start.
The daemonette moved at fast human speeds, intending to finish the usurper quickly with a decapitation from a claw clothesline. Luffy however, who easily saw it coming, leaped up into a one-handed handstand on the woman's claw, kicking her back of the head, and sending her into one of the surrounding walls, making it crumble on top of her. Landing lightly on her feet, Luffy worried for a second. 'Will Kaasama be mad I broke her wall?' Only to watch fascinated as the wall righted itself, leaving not even a crack, the daemonette nursing her bruised cheek and bloody lip.
"You'll need to move faster than that, worm." Where usually Luffy's eyes that practically sparkled with love and life rested, were to chips of ice, cold and dead. "My grandfather and I can move much faster than that. Try again."
Angered, the daemonette took off as fast as she could, looking to pierce Luffy through the chest, but only managed to land a glancing, but substantial cut on her right shoulder, due to her reaction time. "So you're faster than me but not as fast as Jiji…" Luffy muttered as she managed to dodge the returning blow. Silva was infuriated. A cut got Luffy on the cheek, a paper cut more than anything. She was one of the fastest daemonettes outside of the Heralds! Luffy barely managed to dodge a kick that was aiming to take of her head, a few stray hair cut because of Silva's talons. How dare this insignificant upstart do this!? A piercing jab with her claw was turned by Luffy into a Judo flip, landing her on her back, cracking the floor beneath. How dare this little girl even look at her with those dead eyes?! Even angrier than she was before, Silva jumped to her feet, her slashes and kicks growing more wild, faster but sloppier.
"Syrena!" The voice of Slaanesh upon high. Her eyes were shadowed, and she seem to blot out the sky with her presence. "Surely you can do more than dodge, musume?" Slaanesh's voice was sickly sweet, like an annoyed partner.
"Hai, Slaanesh-Kaasama." Came the monotone reply, before Luffy retook her stance. Silva, enraged by the fact that she was being ignored by her lord, charged the toddler in front of her, jumping and spinning like a top, her extended claw turning her into a whirlwind of death. As Silva came close to her, screaming, determined to end her life once and for all, Luffy's only response was a muttered, "Shigan."
Luffy jabbed her right index finger into the whirlwind, stopping the move in its tracks, and causing the Daemonette to cough up black blood. Silva looked down to see the little twerp with her finger buried deep in her stomach, not noticing the cruelly smirking Slaanesh on her throne, behind her. Coughing up more steaming ichor onto the floor, Silva fell to her hands and knees ichor leaking from in-between her clenched teeth and from the hole in her stomach, that little girl with the dead eyes, looking down on her.
Silva then heard six words that froze her gaze to the floor, until she somehow found the will power to drag it to her Lord's visage. "Kaasama, should she live or die?" Slaanesh's eyes were still shadowed, her thin mouth giving off no emotions. Slaanesh raised her right hand in a fist, her thumb pointed out to the side. The congregated daemonettes, Luffy and the downed Silva all recognised the significance. Life and Death all held in the tilt of a hand.
Nobody in the room expected their lord to be merciful, nor where they disappointed when Slaanesh's thumb went toward the floor. Silva was devastated. She had planned on killing the little brat when she wasn't expecting it, but her own creator had stopped her, damning her to death after what she had thought was an easy win. Was this Slaanesh's plans all along? Or did she truly count the child among her favourite servants and warriors?
Luffy turned toward the fallen daemon, thinking of how best to end the pitiful thing in front of her that would impress her Kaasama. She thought deep and hard, about what she had seen from her Kaasama's reactions. Slaanesh-Kaasama had like it when she had started hurting the woman in front of her, and if her Kaasama wanted a daemon in pain, she would give her a daemon in pain. Luffy began to focus on her left arm, staring at it intensely, thinking of yesterday, willing anything sort of change to happen. Unbeknownst to Luffy, her blood began to change to a deep, almost black shade of red.
Luffy watched as her arm took on that lavender-like hue, and her forearm went an even deeper purple. Her thumb travelled down to just above her elbow, elongating and hardening into part of a claw. The rest of her fingers elongated and merged, sharpening as well as serrating, till it became a claw part that looked not unlike the unholy love child of a saw and a rapier.
Because she was more focused on her stomach bleeding out, Silva barely noticed she had been cut, until the tearing pain shot down her back, the wound emerging in a spray of ebon ichor. The force of the blow turned her over, sending her a few feet up into the air. While she was still in the air, Silva saw the brat on her knees as if she'd just finished a fast slide, her left elbow held in her right arm, claw pointed up in the air, and still dripping with her ichor. Silva landed on her back hard, eliciting another scream from the broken woman. "On your feet, "Warrior"." Came the venomous, mocking voice of the five year old that was killing her.
Silva struggled and struggled as she stood, her arms hanging down loosely down in front of her, and her legs shaking badly. She saw Luffy start running toward her, the girl moving faster than she ever had before, seemingly appearing behind Silva, and another cut appeared on her stomach just below the stab wound in her gut, sending her flying back, hitting the wall harshly. Two more cuts graced Silva's body, the first hitting her side knocking her out of the wall, but back onto her feet. The second cut her bowling to the ground, the backs of her knees wet with ichor.
A slash straight up her chest sent her into the air, and blinding pain embraced her as Silva was cut four more times while still flying, the last sending her careening, head first into the marble floor below. Silva crawled to her knees, her whole body, except for the top half of her face dyed a mixture of purple, deep brown and black, due to the ichor she was, her eyes blank, like she was unconscious from the obvious amounts of pain she was in.
"You have insulted Kaasama twice. Once by Conspiring against me and thinking your lord fool enough not to know what you were doing. Secondly by Disrespecting me, proving that you think your lord chose her champion and daughter poorly, showing that you have little faith in your lord. I will not allow you to insult Kaasama a third time." In a burst of speed, almost like she had teleported, Luffy appeared behind the doomed woman.
In twin great arterial sprays of black ichor, Silva's head disconnected from her neck, as her body split itself from brow to groin. Breathing quite heavily due to her exertion, Luffy dropped to one knee, getting a quick flash of worry to cross Slaanesh's face, which she quickly schooled, before smiling a dazzling smile in her Kaachan's direction and asking, "Did I do well, Kaachan?"
"You did well indeed, musume." Slaanesh said as Luffy fell to the floor, her small but significant cuts finally causing her to pass out. "Well indeed…" Were her muttered continuing's as she picked Luffy up in her arms, carrying her back until she was sleeping soundly in her lap. Cleaning the blood from her arms and face, Slaanesh saw that Luffy's cuts had already healed, the area's which had been cut were as perfect and unblemished as ever, brought a fresh smirk to Slaanesh's face. 'Healing properties due to the fruit? You keep getting more and more interesting, Syrena…'
When Luffy woke up she felt well rested, like she had slept for a substantial amount of time, in Slaanesh-Kaachan's lap, who was twirling a Staff, around her size, between her giant thumb and index finger. "Are you awake now, little Masque?" Slaanesh questioned amusedly, getting a tight hug around her midriff and a nod for her answer. "Since you won your battle, I have a little gift for you, dear."
Luffy looked curiously at her Kaachan, before she was handed the staff that Slaanesh had been twirling in her hand. It was black in colour, polished to an almost mirror finish, with a mask on each end, one of a gold happy, laughing face and the other of a silver sad, crying face. "What's this Kaachan?" Questioned Luffy curiously.
"It was your predecessors, the last Masque's that is, Staff of Office. It's called the Staff of Masks, and is proof that the Masque is who she said she is, as well as a great weapon in battle. You can extend the size of the staff to that of a Bo staff and back if you wish when you get older. For now just use that like it is, ok?" A nod.
Stroking Luffy's hair with a content smile, Slaanesh stared down at the little limpet of a mortal, clinging to her stomach like a lifeline, rubbing her face back and forth against her firm waist. "Syrena… We're gonna go on a trip soon, ok? It's going to be lots of fun." Slaanesh smiled down at her Masque.
"What kind of trip, Kaachan?" Luffy looked up curiously at her mother-figure.
"Did you know that this isn't the only place I own?" A tilt of the head was her only answer. "I own a whole realm out there. It's divided into six parts, we're going to tour all of them, and while we do, I'm going to teach you how to fight, how to dance and how to use the powers I have given you." Slaanesh hugged Luffy closer to her, her delicate hand stroking Luffy's cheek. "It's going to be fun, Syrena. I'll make sure of it." Luffy's Dazzling smile brought a similar one to her own face.
A while later, after what felt like hours to Luffy, her and her Kaachan had walk out the front entrance of the Palace, ready to be on their way. "Where are we going first Kaachan?" was Luffy's question.
Slaanesh was silent for a minute, before saying, "There are six circles that surround the palace, not unlike the rings around bullseye. They are called The Ring of Avarice, The Ring of Gluttony, The Ring of Carnality, The Ring of Paramountcy, The Ring of Vainglory, and the Ring of Indolence. The Ring of Indolence is the closest to us at the moment, but we don't want to start our adventure at the end do we, little one?" A negative shake of the head was Luffy's reply. "No. No we don't. So, little Masque, we are going to be taking my own personal chariot for this, ok?"
The Chariot that Luffy saw, was large and elegant, but definitely built to cause pain. It was looked like it was designed to have her Kaachan on it, by herself, with little room for anything else, but there was enough room so others the size of her daemonettes could probably fit. A replica of her throne sat in the chariot, graceful and woven of satin, all gold and silver thread down the edges, while the chariot itself was open, a deep purple, and a sparse, artful guard at the front. It was bladed and spiked, each blade having a multitude of barbed hooks hung off of them, everything look ready and willing to rip and tear mortal and daemonic flesh alike. The wheels weren't wheels at all, but weirdly shaped buzz saws, curved inwards, made to catch onto flesh and body, and tear it asunder with its fast turning motions. The 12 creatures that pulled the Chariot were not horses. They looked like snakes with two legs, reptilian and sleek, designed for speed. Luffy went to pat one on its anteater like head, only for it to give her a lick up the side of her face when she did so, giving her a really happy feeling, causing her to laugh.
As her Kaachan sat down on her throne, Luffy climbed back up on her lap, snuggling herself in until she was comfortable, her mother-figure stroking her hair slowly, and the very landscape around them, blurring a multitude of colours due to the speed they were going. Her mother's soft singing, like the world's most beautiful lullaby, soon had her visiting the realm of Morpheus.
When Luffy woke back up, it was Slaanesh's prompting that did so. As she looked around, through her sleep-induced blurry vision, she saw yellow trees and, a lot of people running around, picking up multicolour rocks from the floor. Rubbing her eyes so she could see properly, she was amazed at what she saw. Gold, Silver, and every precious gem she could imagine as far as the eye could see. That was when her Kaachan's voice broke her out of her reverie. "Welcome, little Masque… To the Ring of Avarice."
Greetings, Thanks and Fanfics: Hey guys. Ex here. Thanks for all the review and stuff during the first chapter, this is my first "Public" Fanfic as it is the one that I thought was worthy enough to be a test run to see how well I would do, posting these online. I plan on taking Fruits all the way to the end of One Piece if I can, and hopefully I'll be able to. At the moment my free time is mostly for this, and a little bit of it is for some other stuff, thankfully I haven't hit writers block yet, but if I do, I'll tell you guys. Who knows? You may even be able to help me. I am also currently working on… 4 other Fanfics at the moment, 3 pure Warhammer and one is an HPxWarhammer. I currently have a small job that takes up some of my day, as well as the fact that half the time I will not be able to post, due to the fact that I live in multiple houses and only one of them has viable internet. So if there are blank areas where I don't post, just bear with me, I should be back eventually.
Notes for future Chapters: In the Future Chapters of Fruits, some techniques as well as some places will be in Japanese, I should have the English translation right beside it, or at the end of the chapter. If it's not a very good translation, I'm sorry. I know very little Japanese, and all of my translations are taken from Wiki sites, Google Translate and any other translation sites I can find. Any help in this regard would be quite beneficial. Oh. I forgot to mention, the name of the fruit Luffy has is the Hasha-Hasha no Mi, Model: Masque and it is a Mythical Zoan, and yes she still has all the usual weaknesses, but I will have her learn Geppou soon, to lessen chances of drowning. I may do something with the claw that make it hurt Logias, like Haki. Not sure. I'll figure it out. Also, Pairings, if any are all unsure. When I see one piece pairings I usually like LuffyxRobin. Any other ideas would be helpful.
Spoilers for Future Chapters (Don't read if you want some major events to be surprises): Ace and Sabo will both still be alive, it will be mostly canon, but I want Sabo back before Marineford, and I want Ace to live, Whitebeard I'm not sure about yet. Blackbeard and Akainu will both be alive until Marineford, but they are in the same boat as Whitebeard, I'm not sure if I want them to survive. Luffy will have another ship before the Going Merry appears, and it will be a Corvette instead of a Caravel. She will have warped it using her powers so it will definitely have a Slaaneshi theme to it. I may have a Yuda on the ship as well, cause of Slaanesh's affiliation with snakes, and because I plan on having Luffy spend some time in the Grandline with her Grandfather and probably some pirates, and maybe the Kuja, before she goes back home, just in time to meet Shanks. While Luffy travels she may meet future crew members, E.g. Ussop, Robin.
As pertains to Warhammer: I'm still not sure if I want to include any of the other Chaos Gods in this fanfic, as in let them play part, but if I do it will be after Romance Dawn and it will most likely be Khorne, as Khorne and Slaanesh hate each other more than they hate the other gods. The only other "Warhammer Themed" things that will be in this fic are the other Hasha-Hasha no Mi if I want the other gods included, you guys can however give me ideas if you so wish, if I reckon they are good and I have your permission, I will use them and add a mention at the bottom of the Chapter the fruit/item/enemy/idea appears in. There will be Luffy using her powers to corrupt things from the real world, e.g. Ships, buildings, cursing objects and there may be some Daemonic summoning, perhaps even she has a pet Seeker. Something like that.
Thanks guys. This is Ex signing off.
