I gave in to temptation once again and decided to type this fic out first xD I realized that it was kind of difficult for me to write a genderbent fic seeing how often I almost made the mistake of writing their original genders instead of the genderswapped. DX It may come in future chapters (probably even this) without me knowing so I apologize in advance and will appreciate it if you would point it out to me. I sometimes tend to subconsciously skip a few lines no matter how much I re-read. :/
As a request from Bluebird24, I'll explain the change in timeline for this fic! First thing is that this fic is AU so you'd probably expect changes. It's still in the One Piece world but there are major changes (about three quarter) as compared to the anime. The reason why the timeline is different because in order for Marko to meet Sanjiko, it has to change in my fic. And for Marko to become a First Commander prior to the time after she joined until the Strawhat Pirates made their debut. I gave her fourteen years which is really the best I could give. I would've increased the numbers but it wouldn't work out well. On the other hand, this takes place right after the Strawhat Pirates went through Punk Hazard and their age had been increased by one compared to the anime. I hope that clear things up! If it doesn't then feel free to PM me or ask when you review! :D
On the other hand, I've drawn another two pictures for this fic. :D Eventhoughit'skindofbad. (Remove four spaces for both links!)

azab: Thank you! I try my best to make this fic as good as I can! ;D
Maria Rianki: I couldn't either and that's why I updated this today. xD I bet she is a pervert and thinks that it's natural to do so. LOL! But Anne wouldn't be this way around Luffyko... not so obviously, at least. :P I didn't know about the slang but thanks for telling me. Ahahahaha! I can't believe I unintentionally used that. :X Other than the monster trio, the Whitebeard trio would be my second favourite. :P
Miishai: Don't worry, Marko will have her revenge... someday. Thanks for letting me know! I can't believe I made another mistake like that. Dx It's difficult to write genderbent fics when I'm so used to writing their original characters for a month now. :x Or maybe it's just me. You should go and have a listen. It's really adorable and soothing at the same time. :D
Bluebird24: I'm glad that you liked this one as well. I can sort of understand since not many people would give a crack pairing such as this a chance. xD I don't really read stories other than romance so I can sort of understand. And sure! I wasn't sure exactly what kind of explanation you're asking for but I'll explain what it's in my mind anyway. If it's wrong, just let me know and I'll try to explain in the next chapter!
alniyat: Probably quite high seeing how I'm just as a revengeful person as anyone. :D The humor wouldn't be long-lived though since I have something planned ahead already which is quite rare because I usually go by impromptu for my fics. LOL! Hmm, maybe the song will play a part in this but I won't say anything more. :D Great that you loved it! I fell in love with the song too after listening to it for the first time myself.
Two weeks later, the Whitebeard Pirates were awaiting for the arrival of the Strawhat Pirates. They had agreed to rendezvous on a nearby island after exchanging their coordinates with each other. They were supposed to meet a week ago but only after a few days passed, Anne was informed that the Strawhat Pirates had went into Punk Hazard upon Luffyko's orders. It was so like Luffyko.
Meanwhile, Marko and Sachi had a hard time trying to calm Anne down during the day they were initially supposed to meet. The freckled female was sure that something must've happened to Luffyko as she usually never backs down on her word unless something else caught her attention or she was being stopped by the Marines.
The Marines in the New World were completely different from the ones in the other half of the Grand Line. They were complete merciless people who could be worse than the pirates outside the Grand Line. Anne had personally ran into some and escaped before they could carry out their tortures. It was obviously easy enough for Anne to deal with them but she wasn't sure if the Strawhat Pirates were still ready. Even though three years had already passed since Luffyko made her debut as a pirate, Anne could almost guess how would she be loafing around than seeking out to fight people to make herself stronger.
Never did she know, Luffyko was more of a danger magnet than anyone could ever imagine.
Now, the wait was finally over and Anne was waiting in anticipation to meet her little sister. When the Thousand Sunny and it's flag came into view, Anne jumped on her spot like a kid with bundle amount of energy and rushed to it despite her companions' calls.
"Lu-ffy-ko!" Anne shouted and waved her arms madly.
"Anne!" Luffyko called back and returned the gesture. Before the Thousand Sunny neared the shore, Luffyko had already stretched her rubbery arms back to fly over and tackle Anne in a big hug. "It's been a long time!"
"Yeah and who was the one who kept us waiting?" Anne replied playfully and captured Luffyko in a headlock.
Luffyko pouted but made no attempt to escape from her grasp. "I couldn't help it. The island was so near and I thought that I'd take a look at it for a bit. I didn't expect it to take so long."
"Yeah, right."
Marko and Sachi took this time to interrupt their reunion while the other pirates, including Whitebeard remained a few distance away.
"So this is the little sister that Anne had been talking our ears off about," Sachi commented and bent her body towards Luffyko. "She is kind of cute as you described, Anne. Although, you didn't really use any words other than that."
"I'm not cute! I'm going to be the Pirate King!"
"See? I told you that she's cute," Anne said.
"I'm not!"
"She does seem to have a lot of potential even though you always refer her as an air-head," Marko mused. "But I'm surprised that the both of you are related. Your sister grows a lot more than you in terms of what you've always been going for from me."
Anne blinked at her in confusion and looked below Luffyko's chin to finally get what she was talking about. Her eyes immediately widened and she suddenly let go of Luffyko so that she could place her hands on Luffyko's chest to check if what she was seeing was real. Despite praying in her head that it wasn't, she came to realize that it was instead.
"How could this happen?! It has only been five years, Lu! Five years! Do you have a monstrous growth spurt or something? Why do you have C cup chest? And it's almost D-cup in fact!"
"Eh? It is? I never knew," Luffyko replied while being oblivious.
"This can't be happening to me!" Anne cried.
"Ignoring your perverted and batshit crazy sister, where are the rest of your crew, yoi?" Marko asked.
"Oh! Now that you mentioned it." Luffyko turned her head just in time to see the Thousand Sunny docking at the shore. When the crew members got off the ship together, the girl waved her arm at them. "Guys! Over here!"
"We can see you, dumbass!" Zoroko yelled back before grumbling. "Tch, that girl."
When the Strawhat Pirates were closer, the Whitebeard Pirates were finally able to see Anne's little sister's crew. At first, they were surprised at the majority of them being females while there were only two males in the party. Afterwards, all of them with the exception of Whitebeard, jumped back in shock when they saw the tallest member in their crew. Anne, Marko and Sachi were also taken aback.
With a shaky finger, Anne pointed at the member.
"Luffyko... I think there is something that is not supposed to be in your crew."
"Huh? What are you talking about? All of them are my friends!"
"Anne! I thought you said you were lying when you told us your sister would eat humans when she gets hungry!" Sachi exclaimed.
The freckled teen held up her hands in defense while her eyes were still wide. "I was! Luffyko would never resort to eating a human... or would she?" Anne faced Luffyko and looked at her warily. "You know, you might want to try keeping your friends as long as you can. I understand that you don't like it when you're hungry but you can't eat someone till their skeleton! Hell, I thought you hated meat!"
"I do," Luffyko replied, still not getting what Anne was talking about.
"If you're referring to Brooko, she's already like this when we first met her," Sanjiko informed.
Anne, Marko and Sachi let out a sigh of relief but their guard still wasn't down. There was a skeleton right in front of them. How would anyone be able to stay calm? It definitely isn't what you get to see everyday.
"Yohohoho! Sanjiko is right. I'm Brooko and the reason why I'm like this is because... of a very long story."
"No it isn't. You died, ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi and was revived by its powers," Namizou said impatiently and shook his head. Then, he went ahead to introduce the crew seeing how Luffyko wasn't going to do so. "My name is Namizou and I'm from the East Blue. The green-haired swordsman is Zoroko and the blonde beside her is Sanjiko."
"Don't introduced us like we're a set!" Zoroko snapped.
"Don't talk back to Namizou-sama like this!" Sanjiko growled.
Ignoring them, Namizou continued on with the list. "The other guy is Robizou while the long-nosed girl is Usoko. Franko is the tall robot-"
"I'm a cyborg!"
"-and lastly, we have Cherry the reindeer."
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Cherry greeted cheerfully.
The three Whitebeard Commanders looked down at Cherry then back at Luffyko.
"A cyborg, a talking reindeer and a skeleton," Anne listed them off while looking at Luffyko with an indescribable expression. "I have to say that you have a very... varied crew. I bet you weren't thinking much when you recruited them like always, right?"
"But don't they crack you up?" Luffyko asked and snickered.
Anne shook her head in exasperation and gave her a wry grin as though she had already expected this sort of thing coming from Luffyko. She had always thought that Luffyko would have a very unique crew but this was way above her expectations. Well, Luffyko had always been unpredictable and surprised many people around her although it usually ended up having them face-palming at her antics. She could bet that Luffyko didn't even have a recruitment condition for those who wanted to join.
Did they even have a choice in the first place?
"But to be able to get this far, the crew must be just as impressive," Marko pointed out in amusement.
"What do you guys do?" Sachi asked.
"I cut with my swords," Zoroko replied.
"I cook for the crew," Sanjiko said.
"I navigate and create maps," Namizou said.
"I am an archeologist," Robizou simply said.
"I'm a doctor," Cherry informed happily.
"I'm the shipwright and also the one who created Thousand Sunny," Franko said proudly.
"I'm a skeleton who plays the violin," Brooko said.
"I'm the great Captain Usoko!"
Zoroko, Sanjiko, Cherry, Franko and Namizou stared at him while Robizou chuckled in amusement.
"...I make weapons," Usoko corrected meekly.
"And she also lies! Shishishishi!"
"Oi!"
Anne laughed. "Your crew is definitely unique, alright," she commented. "Oh, and I almost forgot. The one with the banana haircut and inhumane boobs is Marko. The other one with the pompous haircut is Sachi."
"Yours just aren't growing, yoi."
"That was a lame introduction! And my haircut isn't weird," Sachi retorted.
"The rest of the people, sitting over there, are part of the Whitebeard Crew. It's quite troublesome to introduce all of them here so you can get to know them later on. The huge captain there is Whitebeard, naturally. He's the greatest pirate I've ever known," Anne said with a proud grin.
"S-So this i-is Whitebeard," Usoko stuttered in fright in the presence of the strong.
"May I see your-"
Namizou knocked Brooko out with her weapon before she could finish her sentence. They definitely do not need her to ask stupid questions right now and in front of such an important person. He tends to value his life too even though her crew, with the exception of Usoko and Cherry, seemed to doesn't half the time.
"Hmm? What was that?" Whitebeard asked.
"Nothing! Nothing at all," Namizou quickly replied nervously. "Pleased to meet you... um, Captain Whitebeard."
"Gurararara! Just Whitebeard will do. You're our Anne's little sister's crew so we can skip the formalities. I can sense that your crew is different from many others," Whitebeard remarked.
"So you're Anne's captain," Luffyko said from her position beside him.
"When did that idiot get there?" Zoroko asked while one of her eyebrows twitched in irritation. She knew that Luffyko was nothing but trouble when it comes to her needing to behave herself.
"Since Anne likes you then you must be a good person," Luffyko remarked with a firm nod as though she had just discovered a mysterious kind of shit. "But no matter what, /I/ will be the one to be the Pirate King!"
At that moment, everyone with the exception of the Strawhat Pirates and Anne thought that Luffyko had gone mad. The rest already knew that she was crazy. Whitebeard stared down at the girl without smiling while Luffyko looked back at him defiantly and didn't back down an inch. She was brave, very brave but stupid, the Whitebeard pirates thought. Usoko was trembling and fearing for Luffyko's life for standing up to and challenging the world's greatest pirate.
Instead, Whitebeard laughed and grinned. "What an amusing brat. Good luck on your quest," Whitebeard said simply.
"I will!" Luffyko answered in determination.
Usoko and Cherry gave a sigh of relief when Whitebeard didn't react like how they imagined. They were actually worried for Luffyko out there. Zoroko and Sanjiko weren't concerned though. If they had to fight, they will fight no matter who the enemy was. Namizou wanted to hit Luffyko for being reckless again while Robizou was just as amused as his captain's antics as usual. Brooko laughed along merrily and obviously didn't understand much of what had happened. Frankie... well, she was just in between of everything.
"You really have an odd little sister, yoi," Marko commented afterwards.
"I told you so, didn't I?" Anne grinned at her.
"Challenging pops like that. This girl really have lots of guts," Sachi mused while looking in Luffyko's direction. "But she is definitely your little sister, alright. We can't forget about the time you tried to take down pops yourself."
Anne gave her a pout. "That was a long time ago."
"You still did try, yoi."
"I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore!"
"Hey, Marko. Want to bet how long it will last? I bet she will start crying to us within a minute."
"No way. You already got the best bet, yoi."
"Demons, the lot of you!" Anne cried out and threw her arms up in defeat.
Marko and Sachi grinned back at her while mentally praising each other for their work. Who said that Marko had to be the one being teased all the time? It was fun seeing either Anne or Sachi getting pissed off sometimes. The first Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates understood why the both of them liked making her blow her top half the time. That doesn't mean she was going to remain that way for the rest of her lives. Maybe it's about time she started grasping their tactics of making other people mad.
"Luffyko! You can't eat those leaves!" Anne cried out from the distance.
Anne would be spared for the time being.
Once again, take a look at the pictures I've drawn for this fic! One of them contains a small little spoiler (Seriously nothing big) and no, I'm not turning Sanjiko into a mermaid. XD Remove four spaces and you're good to go!
