When the rubber girl and future Pirate Queen Luffiko reached age seventeen, she finally set off for her adventure. Before leaving, she shared a heartfelt goodbye to her adoptive mother, Curly Dadan, who was already in tears knowing she was going to be leaving after her brother.
Everyone at the village saw her off. Shortly after she set sail, a monstrous fish emerged. It was the Lord of the Coast. She looked at him.
"Hey, let me through," She pleaded. "I'm going on an adventure!" The Lord of the Coast went for the attack. With diplomacy failing, the rubber woman stretched her arm out.
"Gum-Gum Pistol!" She fired a punch so quick and powerful it beat the sea monster in one hit. "I told you to let me through! Dumb fish!" She gave a then-unknown Tashigiface. "Okay, I'd say I should get a crew next! About ten people, maybe? And then…I'll need a flag!"
Amidst her trip, she got sucked into a whirlpool and hid in the one barrel that lay in her ship. Sometime later on, someone grabbed it, a small, dumpy kid with glasses. When he opened the barrel, out came the rubber woman. Everyone was shocked by her appearance. "Finally, I'm out of that barrel!" She said, looking around. "Where am I?"
"You're…what were you doing there?" The boy asked. "I'm out on an adventure! Hey, can I borrow this ship?" "Get her!" The pirates came after her, but she defeated them effortlessly.
"Wow, you're strong lady!" The dumpy boy said. "Sure I am! My name is Monkey D. Luffiko! But just call me Luffi! And yours?"
"I'm…Coby." He replied meekly. "Coby, huh? You look kinda weak." He sulked. "You're brutally honest, Luffi." "I know! The future Pirate Queen has to be!"
"The…PIRATE QUEEN!?" Coby held his mouth. "That's impossible! You can't possibly do that! It's dangerous, and stupid. No way, uh-uh, not at all, can't happen-" Luffiko hit him. "Why'd you do that?"
"Because." Her stomach started growling. "Got anything to eat?" "The title of Pirate King-I mean Queen is proof you're the greatest pirate of all time!" Coby told her. "You don't even have a ship or a crew!"
"I'm gonna get those," She told him. "But who should I get?" She thought for a moment.
To make a long story short, a crew led by the Pirate Queen would be one to remember. After all, what kind of people wouldn't want such a cute lady as a captain?
"I'm not gonna become a pirate!" Said a man tied to a plank. It was the Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro. "Why not? Is it because I'm a girl?" Luffiko asked. "No, it's not that at all…" Zoro trailed off, looking at the rubber woman making a worrisome expression.
"What is she doing?" Coby said to himself.
Somehow, someway, the rubber woman got the Pirate Hunter on her team. "I guess that kid isn't coming along," Zoro asked. "No, he's gonna be a marine," Luffy said. "A cute little guy like him will be chewed out in a minute." She puffed her face.
"I hate pirates!" Said a young woman, with red hair. "They steal, they destroy, and they kill innocent people…" She glared at the rubber woman. "But you're stealing. That makes you a pirate!"
"Nuh-uh! It's different with me!"
"No it isn't!"
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
"You aren't cute." The redhead told Luffiko, who took offense to the remark. "Am so!"
"Are not!"
"Am too!" Luffiko puffed her face. "I'm not doing this with you. I'll never be a pirate! And I'm not traveling with the likes of you!"
"Wow, you really have that many followers!?" The rubber woman asked. "You dumb broad, he's lying!" From the shrubs, came a scrawny man with a notably long nose. "Ah, so you've caught on to my ruse, have you?"
"You're not so tough," Luffiko said. She charged up a punch, striking the man.
"Wow, who is this lovely lady!?" Said the Bartender with the curly brow. "I'm Luffiko, the woman who'll become the Pirate Queen!" She took off the apron. "Hey, can I leave? I can't stay here for a whole year."
"Sure thing! Go on ahead!"
"And you're a cook, right? I need you, too."
"But of course! I'll happily cook for you, mademoiselle!"
"Look here, fish guy! I may not know how to use swords, or lie, or cook, or even read a map." She looked at Arlong fiercely. "But there IS one thing I can do…" She put her finger on her lip. "I can beg you not to hurt my cute face." Everyone swooned for her, except for Zoro, Usopp, Nami and Arlong, who was actually angered by such said gesture.
"You're a disgrace to the word pirate!" He yelled.
"So that's a no?" Luffiko asked. "Alright, you had your chance, fish guy." After the fight, resulting in Arlong's base being destroyed, the rubber woman surfaced from the wreckage!
"Nami!" She yelled.
"You're my best gal pal!" She winked with a thumbs up. Nami did the same.
With five members, the Straw Hat Pirates finally assembled. They would go on ahead to Lougetown, the site where the Pirate King, Gold Roger was executed. There, they met a Vice Admiral with smoke powers aptly named Smoker. He managed to pin down the rubber woman. However, from the shadows, came a hooded figure.
"…It's you."
"I can't have you doing this, now can I?" A flash of thunder appeared, showing the man's face. "Attacking such a cute girl, you marines have no standards!"
