The Battle

Drabble#1: The Strawhats show the Marines just what kind of monster they are dealing with.

So dhampire712 gave me an epic review and an epic idea: Drabbles! Why not? Just random stories with the Monster Strawhats and stuff? Shim(she/him), already gave a few great ideas so if you have any- please share! I'd love to write what you've got. I've already got plenty for the first 'Hats, but nothing so far for Chopper, Robin, Franky, or Brook so if you could pass a few, that'd be great!

Anyways, shim said: I would LOVE to read about the reactions to Luffy's monster crew! Especially from Ace, Sabo, Marco and Law!

I have a feeling theirs would be the best! Just an idea.

dhampire712! I'll do you justice!... Just not all at once. Don't quote me on my battle, I never saw Marineford, but only cause I didn't want to see Ace-nii and Pops die firsthand…

Devlin Dracul: Devlin asked what kind of monster Robin was and Robin is a monster from her own past. I don't know really how to explain Robin; she feels so many things from her past and so much guilt and regret. You can't really explain Robin's monstrosity, if you will. I made her a monster basically because of her memories. Maybe one day she'll become human like Luffy when she accepts herself. I might do a drabble on that...

Anyways, please enjoy~!

Last Time:~

"When are we going?" Franky asked, a stray bullet hitting him.

Zoro pulled his swords out, accessing his powers to enhance his senses and agility. "No time like the present," he said, then jumped down.

Everyone sighed before jumping into the fray, activating their powers as they went. "LUFFY!" they all shouted.

Luffy gasped and turned before a wide smile spread across his face. "MONSTERS!" he shouted back.

Everyone smirked in reply. Monsters indeed. Luffy's monsters.

Instantly, the Strawhats were in the battlefield, covering one another as they cut down marines and pirates alike while running to reach Luffy. Zoro was leading them, his ears, wolf-like, were flicking wildly while tracking everyone's movements.

"Sanji!" Zoro order, "Get to Luffy!"

"Aye!" Sanji shouted, and grudgingly followed the order.

Sanji flexed his leg muscles once before taking off in breakneck speeds, faster than Luffy in his second gear. In an instant, Sanji was running beside Luffy. Luffy grinned at him.

"Sanji!" he said.

Sanji sighed, kicking away a marine. "You just love almost killing us!" he accused, grinding his teeth on his cigarette.

Luffy's face became serious. "I'm going to save Ace," he said.

"We are yoi."

Luffy and Sanji turned to see Marco, his wings and talons out. "I'm saving Ace!" Luffy argued.

"Go on Captain," Sanji said, turning to face the phoenix. "Save your brother!"

"I'm here Luffy!" Zoro shouted, protecting his captain's back. "Chopper, stick to Sanji!"

"Aye!" Chopper said, turning into his heavy point. "Rahh!"

Luffy and the crew continued, Sanji and Chopper staying behind, blocking Marco's path. Marco glared at them, clearly unhappy.

"We're fighting for the same cause yoi!" Marco growled.

Sanji breathed in, smoking drifting away from him. "Captain said he'd do it," he said dryly, his eyes flashing red in warning.

Chopper nodded. "I trust in my captain," he agreed, clenching his fist.

Marco gritted his teeth, shifting into a lower position. "You're just another obstacle yoi," he said.

Back with the crew, Luffy was running in front, the Strawhats behind him, letting nothing hit him. Zoro was partially transformed now, his legs becoming digitigrade, allowing for more brute force. Nami and Usopp were surrounded by their orange and purple auras respectively, fighting with their given weapons. Robin was using her fruit powers, snapping the necks of marines. Franky was shooting marines with his arm cannon, and Brook was using his swordsmanship.

"Luffy!" Nami called, striking another marine, "Ace is being protected by the Admirals! What you are going to do?!"

"I'll save Ace!" Luffy replied.

"Meaning he's got nothing!" Usopp cried in horror.

"I'll take Aokiji," Robin said. She was afraid of the ice-man but she would give away her useless life to Luffy if need be.

"We both will," Franky said, and the two veered off.

"Kizaru-san won't know what hit him," Brook said, but he knew he couldn't beat the light man though. That was proven mere days ago.

"We're coming too Brook!" Nami said, and she and Usopp followed.

Zoro and Luffy were left, running towards the scaffold, where the last admiral was. "I'm behind you Luffy!" Zoro said.

"We can jump!" Luffy said.

Zoro nodded, and quickly sheathed his swords before he fell on all fours. Zoro's moonstone glowed and his body fully changed form, becoming a large, wolf-man hybrid. Luffy mounted him and W!Zoro took off running, almost as fast as Sanji as he dodged the flying bodies and attacks.

"Luffy! Don't!" Ace called desperately.

"You're my brother!" Luffy shouted back, W!Zoro roaring in response.

Akainu smirked. "Pirate scum," he said, and pulled his fist back.

"Zoro!" Luffy called.

W!Zoro got even faster, running towards the magma-man. Everyone looked at them in horror; were they insane?! Just as they met Akainu head on, Luffy stretched his arms and launched himself directly to Ace with a shout of 'Decoy!'. Akainu was left with W!Zoro, who was growling at the man menacingly.

"Aaaaaceee!" Luffy shouted.

"Luffy…" Ace breathed.

"Fire!" Sengoku shouted, too far away to stop the teen.

Everyone watched in trepidation as the marines fired only for the bullets to be stopped by a plume of flames. Sengoku cursed, the Strawhats cheered, and Whitebeard and Garp smirked in victory. The flames opened, revealing the two brothers. The Whitebeard and Strawhats pirates cheered to see the two teens free.

Like they'd never been apart, the two brothers began to work together to get away. Luffy and Ace jumped down from the scaffold; Luffy turned and shooting his hand at W!Zoro. W!Zoro's eyes widened as his scruff was grabbed.

"Come on Zoro!" Luffy called, pulling.

"Wait- Luffy!" W!Zoro barked, and transformed mid-air to land on his face. "I'm going to kill you on day! I swear!"

"Shishishi!" Luffy laughed. "Retreeeeat!"

Zoro instantly ran to his captain's and Ace's sides. "To the sea!" he called, and the Strawhats came to cover them.

Akainu was left seething in the background before smirked. "Running pirate scum? To be expected of the crew of that weak, *Ace's eyes widened* dead, *he grit his teeth* Whitebeard."

Ace growled, suddenly turning and running towards the magma. Luffy turned back in horror. "Ace!" he shouted, trying to stop him but Nami and Usopp dragged him towards the sea.

"Take that back!" Ace shouted, throwing a fire fist.

Zoro turned with a growl. "You idiot!" he shouted, running while unsheathing his swords.

"I'm behind you Zoro!" Sanji shouted, running beside the man.

They reached the two fire-users and Sanji paused. "Smoke," Sanji uttered, blowing out.

Ace and Akainu paused in surprise as their sight was filled with foul-smelling smoke, blocking their views; Ace didn't get a chance to react as his pressure points were struck. Zoro caught the stupid, fire user before turning tail.

"Sanji!" he called, running quickly.

"Ah!" Sanji nodded, falling out the smoke.

Sanji began to run by Zoro when he noticed something behind them. "Look out!" he shouted, pushing the swordsman.

"SANJI!" everyone screamed in horror.

Akainu had fired a stray shot blindly into the smoke; Sanji had been hit, his arm vaporizes in an instant. Sanji screamed in pain and stumbled but didn't stop, holding his cauterized wound as he ran. Luffy couldn't pull his eyes away; beyond traumatized

~On the ships~

"Sanji~!" Chopper cried at the vampire.

The Strawhats were on the Moby Dick, receiving medical attention while waiting for Ace to awake. Sanji had the worse injuries, his arm completely burned off from the elbow down. Sanji wasn't as upset as the Strawhats thought he'd be; after all, he lost one of his precious hands.

Sanji wiped his forehead, sweating from the pain. "I'm ok," he said breathlessly, "I've lost limbs before; I just need to feed."

"Vampire," Marco grumbled, but Sanji ignored him.

"Take mine," Luffy said quietly, offering his wrist.

Sanji chuckled at him. "Thank you captain," he said, "But I fed from you before the incident, and you're injured."

Luffy kept trying to offer it, but Sanji refused, finally Luffy burst into tears. Everyone stopped to look at him in worry.

Sanji tried to reassure him. "It's okay Luffy," he said, "It'll grow back; there's no need to cry."

"..." Luffy mumbled.

The Strawhats leaned in. "What was that?" Zoro asked, ears pitching forward.

"I want to be stronger," Luffy repeated, biting his lip. "I want to get stronger, and stronger, and stronger; I don't want to loose any of you! I don't want you to give anything away for me! I want to protect you!"

The Strawhats looked at each other, knowing the truth. They weren't ready for the New World, or for the enemies it would bring. Kuma and Kizaru had proved that in Sabaody.

"I said we'd meet in three days," Luffy uttered, "I change my mind…"

They all looked at their captain, and Luffy looked up. "We'll meet again in two years…"

End.

The end of the first drabble! I like, it was a little awkward at the war scenes but fights aren't much my style. Some can do it, like write epic smut, while other can't. But, as they say, practice makes perfect! Reminder: Got an idea? Send it my way, but no species change, everyone has a set species, as stated in chapter 1.

Til next time,

Ja ne~!
