Hello, hope you like the fact I made this earlier than usual
Anyway, I really enjoyed writing this chapter
Anyway, remember to Rate and review
Chapter 7: The Little Demon Grows
It had been almost six years since Luffy had joined the Whitebeard pirates, and her 13th birthday was coming up soon, she had gotten acquainted to all of its members, especially Marco, Thatch and Pops, AKA Whitebeard
She was currently running away from a mob of angry pink pirates, yes, that's right, pink... Luffy had gotten a reputation as best prankster on the Moby, beating Thatch by only a bit, she and Thatch had made a truce as well, which just added to the pirate's misery.
Luffy could fit in small spaces by turning into a fox, or going into her shadow which she had learned to do in the past few years
She had learned how to control her devil fruit almost perfectly now, she could now grow seven tails, Vista had been training her with her sword, and she had been getting training with her haki by Marco, and had mastered observation in a month because of her heightened senses
"Get back here Luffy!" shouted one of the many pink haired pirates
"Nah, I'm fine" she said as she jumped in the air, once she landed, it looked as if she had fallen through the floor, but she had actually just went into her shadow, which was amazingly useful for sneaking around and pranks
Since she had eaten the Ura Ura No Mi, she had gained some traits that were common for the Nine Tailed Fox to have, which included trickery and just downright sneaky
"Look for her shadow before she gets away, and make sure you stand on it" said one of the crewmembers
Her shadow form had a few weaknesses, one of which being that if you were to stand on her shadow, she couldn't move, unless she turned back into her human or fox form
But the pink pirates were too late as Luffy had managed to go under a door which led to the deck, where pops was, she popped out of her shadow form and ran up to Pops before jumping up and sitting on his lap
"Hello Luffy" said the giant man
"Sup pops" said Luffy back with a cheeky grin
"Sounds like quite a commotion down there, what did you do this time?" asked Whitebeard
"Let's just say that some crewmembers are pink, by adding pink paint to their shower gel" said Luffy
"Oi, Luffy, you going to sit up there all day, we're approaching the Goa Kingdom" said Marco as he jumped down from the crow's nest
That was right, after years of training, Luffy now knew that she could control her power almost perfectly now, so she thinks she's ready to see her old family again
"Okay" said Luffy with a bit of a saddened face
"Aren't you happy, you'll be able to see your brothers and this Makino you blabbed on and on about" said Thatch
"Yeah, but... I left 'cause I was scared... scared that I'd lose control, what if they've realised that I'm a monster, a time bomb waiting to explode... I'll probably lose control someday again" said Luffy, almost having tears threatening to come out
"Don't you ever say that again" said Marco, "You are no monster, nor a time bomb –Yoi"
"If you're a monster... then I wonder what we would be" said Thatch with a smirk
"You've trained Luffy, you are a lot stronger than before, just keep safe and have fun, don't worry about the future, or dwell on the past, you're a strong girl Luffy, I'm sure you can keep control" said Whitebeard with a smirk
Luffy's eyes watered a bit, before she launched into full blown tears of happiness, she was so glad that she had found people like this
'I hope when I get my own crew, that we're like this' thought Luffy
'I'm sure they will kit, I'm sure they will's' said Kurama
Later
Ace and Sabo are training, they are launching at each other with their steel pipes in hand, and a tree is engraved with Ace and Sabo, with scores underneath
The two launch at each other, and Ace slams his pipe on Sabo's head, causing him to trip over, but before he fell, he done a handstand before flipping over and landing on his feet in front of Ace before swinging his pipe at the black haired boy
Ace immediately blocked before going in for a punch to Sabo's stomach, winding him and making him stumble backwards, before Ace finally used his pipe to knock him to the ground
"Alright, Alright, you win... again" said Sabo
"What's the score now, 50-48, you're getting slow Sabo" said Ace
"Haha, you wish" said Sabo in return
"50-48, not bad" said a new voice
"Yeah, I guess we're nearly even" said Ace with pride, but soon the feeling of pride went away as he turned around to see a 12 year old girl sitting on a branch with her head supported by her hand, he pointed his cane at the girl before lowering it as did Sabo
On the branch was a 12 year old girl with long black hair that reached her lower back, a scar under her right eye, she wore a red t-shirt with the number '9' on it, blue shorts, sandals, a yellow sash around her waist with a sword tied to it, and to top it off, a straw hat
Ace and Sabo's eyes widened, tears started welling up as they stared at the grinning girl before she said, "Hello, Ace... Sabo"
That had it, in an instant, the two boys leaped at the girl with tears in their eyes as they both embraced her, "LUFFY!" they shouted
"I missed you guys" said Luffy as she too had tears in her eyes
Later
"Don't think I'm crying over your return, I just have something in my eyes" said Dadan as she had a hanky up wiping all her tears and snot away
"I missed you too Dadan" said Luffy with a smile
"Wh-whatever, go to bed you lot, up early to work" said Dadan
"Fi~ine" they all whined
They all walked into a room and fell asleep with Luffy in the middle of the two of them, she was still awake, and was thinking back to her last moments with the whitebeards
FLASHBACK
"We're nearing the island" shouted a crewmember
After around 30 minutes, they finally docked a while away from Fushia village, they couldn't afford to be spotted
"Luffy" said Marco as he looked at the child, he bent down to her level before embracing her, when they let go, Marco turned his right hand to a phoenix wing, before picking a feather of it
He then grabbed a chain from his pocket and attached the two together, he put the chain around Luffy's neck and said, "That was one of my feathers, it will give you good luck, and if you're good, then happiness as well –yoi"
Luffy wiped a few tears from her eyes as she hugged the fellow Mythical Zoan user, "I'm going to miss you" said Luffy
"Me too" said Marco as they separated and Luffy walked over to Thatch and hugged him
"Be safe kid, I'll miss having you to prank with me" said Thatch
"Yeah, do you know who got the last laugh?" asked Luffy
"You" said Luffy as she ran over to pops, leaving a confused Thatch behind
"bye pops" said Luffy as the man had one arm around her in a hug, "Stay healthy, alright"
"Hahaha, you're far too young to be telling me that" said Whitebeard as she walked away
She jumped onto land before looking up at them, smiling, "I'll miss you all" she shouted
"WE'LL MISS YOU TOO" yelled all of the commanders, and some random crewmembers, they had all grown extremely attached to the girl
Luffy grinned as she walked away, but with tears still streaming down her eyes
Back at the Moby, Thatch was crying before he suddenly got kicked on the back, "Oi, why the hell'd you do that!" he shouted with shark-like teeth
"The sign told me to do so" said Izo
"What do you mean" said Thatch as he reached behind his back, before he found a sheet of paper
It read, 'Kick me! PS. Good luck with the tinfoil (Bedroom)'
Thatch's eyes widened, oh no, she did get the last laugh he then ran towards his bedroom, when he opened the door, he was met with tinfoil, EVERYWHERE
Everything was coated in tin foil, from his bed to even his hair gel, "FUUUUU..."
Hope you's all liked the chapter, and the near-Thatch swear at the end, I couldn't help because I was watching a video of someone that actually did the tin foil prank
Anyway, thanks for the move ideas, I'll be sure to use them, and please, review, I would really appreciate criticism of any kind, and it may even help me improve the story
Anyway, bye
