Babysitting Luffy
Chapter 1
Luffy starred at Zoro who was lifting some of his weights in awe, both where currently in the crow's nest aka Zoros training room. Zoro only looked at the boy in irritation as he dropped his weights and sat down on the bench taking a break from his training as he looked out to the open sea. Nami had given the swordsman the first shift of watching Luffy and he would have refused if she hadn't blackmailed him with the debt he still haven't paid.
Luffy on the other side seemed to be entertained enough with having watched Zoro training. The boy even tried himself on some of the lighter weights but failed as his arms kept stretching every time he tried. Zoro wasn't really surprised. He had heard from Luffy before that he ate the Gum gum no mi as child. It was only getting annoying when Luffy tried to lift the heavier weights.
Zoro had already started to answer nearly everything the boy asked him with a 'no' or just kept quiet. Honestly this remembered Zoro way too much of the time he was included in that make shift family in water seven. How comes that people tent to make him watch children?
"Can I try to lift-" Luffy started his hands already on one of Zoro's very heavy weights.
"No."
"But I want to-"
"No."
"What about you he-"
"No."
"So you don't-"
"No"
"You are boring." Luffy stated as he plopped down on the ground before Zoro who was now closing his eyes. The idea of a short nap seemed to be very pleasing. The sword man eyed his captain shortly before he closed his eye again. Yep a very good idea, what can possibly happen here in the crow nest? That's right nothing! At least that was what Zoro thought when he drifted off into slumber.
Luffy only pouted. Staring at the swordsman that had fallen asleep with light snoring being the only thing heard from him. He had thought spending time with a swordsman would be fun. Well at first it was. Luffy was impressed with how much that man could lift and wondered if Shanks was also able to do that but no it was different. All this sword man was doing is sleeping. Even a drunken Woop Slap was more interesting than this one. Luffy giggled at the thought as if that old man was ever going to get drunk when he knew Luffy was near.
Falling back onto the ground Luffy stared up at the ceiling. He still didn't exactly get what was going on. Last he remembered was that he had spent time with Shanks before he once again claimed him an idiot for eating that devils fruit and still refused to take him along on his little trip. But now he was on a ship, a pirate ship on top but it wasn't Shanks.
It was the ship of an unknown captain, though that flag was strangely familiar to little Luffy and all the people on board where strangers to him he still felt like he could trust them with his live. They all briefly introduced themselves to him. It confused Luffy a little that he had seen a few mental images when they introduced themselves or has knowledge about them he couldn't really explain why he knew that.
For an instant he knew without getting told that the orange trees, he had seen while climbing up here, belonged to the navigator named Nami and they were important to her. Also he knew that this ship was built by the cyborg or that this skeleton was a great musician. It was weird how he clearly remembered that he had seen off Shanks just yesterday and yet he had seen mental images of this people as if he knew them for a very long time. Sometimes it even was as if he could remember certain things but then he couldn't pinpoint anything. He guessed the only good thing was that his grandfather wasn't here or he would have to go through one of his training seasons again.
Luffy shook his head, slightly shivering when he remembered how his grandfather dumped him in a jungle but dismissed that thought fast. He was stuck on this strange ship without Makino, Woop Slap or Shanks. AND he was bored right now. Sitting up again, he walked over to the window and looked down to see the deck of the ship. Everyone had gone inside the ship and had left him with that sword man who took him up into the crow nest.
For the first time Luffy really realized how big that ship was. Jumping away from the window he had decided to explorer a bit. He gave one last glance to the sword man that was still asleep and grinned. This was his chance to get away and in a matter of seconds Luffy sneaked over to the hole in the ground and tried to get to the first step of the ladder down. Naturally luck wasn't on Luffy's side and he slipped, falling all the way down to the deck and landing on it face first.
"Ouch… that hurt…" Luffy mumbled, rubbing his sore face while small tears formed in the corner of his eyes. He looked up to see if he had woken up Zorro but when after a few minutes nothing happened he grinned wide and walked over to another hole in the ground.
"It's time to explore!" Luffy laughed happily as he jumped through the hole to disappear under deck.
Meanwhile in the kitchen...
"Chopper did you found out anything?" Nami asked looking over at Chopper who was still leaning over a book that lay open on the table. Robin was also sitting not too far reading through another book. On the table before her was a small pile of books she had already read through.
"It seems like this flower had a special kind of poison…" Chopper mumbled as he turned yet another page, reading closely about all the effects it had. "It doesn't seem like it's a permanent state. It's more likely to make the pray of this flower unable to defend itself for a certain amount of time."
"Is there anything you can do Chopper?" Usopp asked, crossing his arms. He was worried about his captain even if Luffy seemed pretty fine, there still could be some after effects left by that poison. "Oi Law!"
Usopp turned to Law remembering something Chopper had told them when they were still at Punk Hazar. "Can't you cut out the poison of Luffy's body?"
Law who had till know leaned against the wall in a far corner of the room lifted his hat a little so he could eye them. He looked over to Chopper shortly who had witnessed him doing that to the children back than and back to Usopp who had asked him this question.
"It's affecting his whole body and mind. There is no point in cutting it out when he is trapped in his child body and memories" Law simply answered, his face partly covered by his hat again as he leaned back. Yep, he still didn't want to get involved into this but seeing how the navigator dragged him along to discuss this matter with them was going against his plan.
"Yohohohohohohohoho! So how long will Luffy-san stay a child then?" Brook asked out the question that was on every one's mind. The room went silent for a few moments before the door suddenly opened and the swordsman was standing there.
"Hey. Have you seen Luffy?" Zoro asked like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"What do you mean Marimo?" Sanji answered annoyed already having a slight idea of what happened.
"Captain. Disappeared. You. Have. Seen?" Zoro said slowly, gesturing with his hands around while glaring back at Sanji.
"You. Lost. Captain. Idiot" Sanji answered in an equal annoyed tune, glaring at the swordsman. "Looks like the idiot here can't even look after a child."
"As if your better ero-cook." Zoro glared back his hands already resting on his swords, knowing what was going to happen any moment.
Sanji in response breathed out a puff of smoke before he attempt to kick Zoro who naturally blocked it with one of his swords. The two were ready to have one of their usual fights until suddenly Nami appeared behind them knocking both of them down with a very pissed of face that made chopper hide behind Usopp.
"We don't have time for this! We have to find Luffy before something could hap-" As if fate was against them a loud crash was heard from underdeck and the whole crew rushed out on deck to find out what happen. Law on the other hand slowly walked out and over to the railing, slightly leaning over it. He had the feeling like he would get a better view from this position.
"What was that?!" Usopp yelled running over to the opening to the underdeck.
"ARE WE GETTING ATTACKED?!" Chopper shouted starting to run in circles on the deck.
"Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
A loud scream echoed through the ship followed by another crash. The straw hats looked at each other before Franky suddenly pushed Usopp to the side to go under deck down to the soldier dock system, mumbling something about the noise coming from there and having a bad feeling. He was promptly followed by Usopp while the others chose to stay on deck.
Yet again another crash was heard as more yelling echoed till suddenly the wall from channel one broke. All the straw hats run over to the railing staring wide eyed down at what was happening. The Shiro Mokuba I was flying out of the hole that just broke open. Broken wood was flying through the air as it dashed over the water, a little boy clinging onto it for dear life and screaming that it hurt in the ears.
"Ah isn't that…" Brook started seeing how the Shiro Mokuba I slowly gained on distance.
"OH NO LUFFY!" Chopper cried out attempting to jump into the water to help his captain but was hold back by Sanji who grabbed his back and lifted the little reindeer over the ground.
"That's Marimo's fault." Sanji stated calmly, breathing out a small cloud of smoke. "He should get our shitty Captain back."
"What did you say ero-cook?" Zoro answered glaring at Sanji.
"Franky will get angry for damaging the Sunny." Robin smiled, watching how the Shiro Mokuba I took a turn in the distance and was now closing to the ship again.
"Even as child he is an idiot that only causes trouble." Nami said as she face palmed not even bothering to keep watching.
Law once again wondered why exactly he was with the straw hat pirates but couldn't help it and smiled a little at the scene. After all it was kind of funny to see how little Luffy tried to gain control over the thing he was riding. It was still a mystery to him how that boy had even managed to break with it through a wooden wall of this ship.
"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNKSSSSSS! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!"
Luffy yelled as he dashed with the Shiro Mokuba I past the sunny. He just wanted to take a look at that thing. He never indented to start its engine and to lose control over it, yet alone to smash trough a ships wall. Now he was trying to make that thing stop but that it didn't work either. Suddenly Luffy lost his hold on it and flew off. He was about to yell something again as a splash was heard.
"LUFFY-SAN!" Brook shouted drawing everyone's attention to the child captain that was now drowning in the water but soon sunk like an anchor into the deep of the sea. Not wasting any more time Brook jumped into the water wanting to save his captain.
"LUFFFY! BROOK! NOOOO!" Chopper cried freeing himself from Sanji and promptly jumping into the water to save them both.
"YOU CAN'T SWIM EITHER!" Sanji yelled as he also dived into the water after taking of his shoes and jacket. He was annoyed about the fact that he had to save now three devil fruit user from the fate of drowning.
"IDIOTS!" Nami yelled as she leaned over the railing, already hearing another splash when Zoro was also diving down to get back their crew members and the still missing captain. While Robin laughed amused about the chaos breaking lose by Brook and Chopper who jumped into the ocean to save their captain.
"Did these two jump into the ocean again to save Luffy even if they can't swim?" Usopp asked as he came back on deck walking over to the railing waiting for his crew mates to come to the surface again. His face was rather pale now.
"Where is Franky?" Nami asked not bothering to give the obvious answer to the question.
"Still underdeck. He said he was going to repair the damage Luffy did. Better don't bother him he is pretty angry." Usopp answered looking over his shoulder growing a shade paler than he was before while slightly shivering when he remembered Franky's pissed off face and dark eyes. Damaging the ship was never a good idea when Franky was around.
Law shook his head. Straw hat's crew really was crazy. The only people he could claim as normal were probably the swordsman, the navigator and Nico Robin. On second thought, scratch that they were also crazy in their own way. Law really wondered if this kind of thing was normal to the straw hats. After all they didn't seem to make a big deal out of it that two of their devil fruit user jumped into the sea knowing they can't swim either. He let out a sigh, he should get used to this after all they are his alliance. He very well remembered how his own crew freaked out once when he went over board, which doesn't really happen often. They very clearly more shocked than the straw hats right now.
After a few more minutes the missing crew members plus the captain where lying on the ground, two panting heavily debating who was back on deck first and the other three slowly gaining back their consciousness. And as soon as the skeleton and the little reindeer sat up they good knocked on the head by Nami who furiously yelled at them for jumping into the water.
"Yohohohohohoho I thought I was going to die…" Brook started. "Ah! But I…"
"But you are already death." Chopper answered rubbing the bump on his head while looking up at Brook.
"Chopper-san! That was my line!" Brook said depress seemingly staring back at Chopper.
"Idiots." Nami bluntly said before kneeling down next to little Luffy who coughed up some water. But suddenly sat up fast. "I AM NOT AN ANCHOR!"
Nami turned to the others confused but they only shrugged and so she turned back to Luffy. "Luffy you know that was pretty dangerous what you did there?"
Luffy looked up at Nami, tilting his head to the side a little confused but then grinned. "I wasn't scared at all! Being on a pirate ship is awesome!"
The crew sweat dropped at their little captain but then couldn't help but smile. Little Luffy was just too cute to be angry with him. After making sure Luffy was really okay Nami stood up and walked over to Law who still tried not to get noticed but obviously failed.
"Luffy this is Trafalgar Law he will watch after you now that Zoro…" Nami glared shortly over to the swordsman. "…failed to look after you."
"Wait I never agreed to that!" Law complained but was meeting a scarily nice look from Nami that left no room for more arguments. "Fine… but I don't want bread later for dinner!"
Nami smiled at him and turned sharply. "You heard him Sanji!"
"Aye! Nami-swan!" Sanji answered love sick as he followed her like a lost puppy. The rest of the crew gave Law a quick glance before also returning back inside, some of them whispering a small 'good luck'. Law watched how the door slowly closed and then turned to look down at Luffy who was picking his nose.
"Furry hat, who the hell are you again?" Luffy asked as if he didn't nearly drown just minutes ago.
"Trafalgar Law." Law answered shortly eyeing the boy.
"Traffy!" Luffy grinned happily up at Law finally stopping to pick in his nose.
"Trafalgar Law not Traffy." Really how did he get dragged in this?
"I will call you Traffy!" Luffy responded still grinning like an idiot. Law only let out a sigh as he looked back at the boy who suddenly had run of too, leaving Law back slightly panicked. They haven't even left him with the boy for five minutes and he had already disappeared. Law cursed shortly before he started to walk around the ship looking for the Luffy. "Great… if I don't find Straw hat soon… I don't want to image what his crew will do if I don't find him…"
