Chapter 8


Only one man is the most beautiful of them all, no matter the sea.

If one were to take a gander into a dictionary; they would see his picture for the word bishounen. No! They would need an entire two page spread to convey the beauty that was him. Tall and slender, his looks were androgynous. Skin as pale as alabaster, with a stylish hat to boot. Needed to protect his face from the sun's harmful rays. Raven locks purposely styled, blessed by the god of wind himself.

"The boss… Boss is talking to himself again." A new recruit, a boorish man, piped up.

"Hush!" Said a busty, long haired veteran who has long since learned the signs of one of Alvar-sama's moods. "Alvar-sama needs his me time." Like so many of us.

Women were oh so jealous of his good looks. And even men wanted his body.

"I joined for his body." Those shoulders! "And I joined for the looks." That hair! "When he asked me to join, I thought he was insinuating something quite different.."

"Yeah, don't distract him. What if he does a roll call? Or," God forbid. "Check the shack?" Nobody wanted that.

Ahh~ If only he had a mirror to look into, to ask- Who is the fairest of them all?

Only to have the mirror answer; definitely not you, bitch! With your freckled, sun-wrinkled fat ass!

Alvar-sama then preceded to cry and bite into a handkerchief. Nobody wants you! Everybody needs you! You're beautiful! You're flawed! You need to lose weight!

His crew sighed in unison.. 'Their Captain did not need to lose weight…' It goes without saying that the majority of his crew, especially the female pirates, were jealous. Jealous of the fact that Alvar-sama had a fast metabolism. When they thought about that, it made them want to bite into their own handkerchiefs.

Inspection time! Alvar loved to keep his ship in tip top shape, making sure that it was clean at all times. Although a ship was only as beautiful as it's master! Alvar-sama touched the wood of his ship, his finger slowly gathering up dust. "It's dirty!"

One of the men couldn't quite keep his head out of the gutter, and dumbly agreed. "Yeah..."

"...Yeah?" A tick mark formed on Alvar's pretty little face. "If you knew that the ship was still dirty.. then why not clean ship!?" Alavar whipped out his iron mace, and clubbed the henchman right into next week!


Nightmare

"Luffy! Get it through your thick skull!" Ace was all up in her space. "D4o I really need to spell it out for you..!" She hadn't seen him like this since.. forever. He..

He wasn't joking around, and he wasn't showing off.

He wasn't smiling..

"You can't help someone who doesn't want your help!" This was Ace screaming.

Ace wasn't acting like himself. No. He was acting like himself. His old self. The one that Luffy first met over six months ago! All scowls and no smiles. Angry yet so sorry.. It made tears Luffy prick at the back of her eyes too..!

"He doesn't need..!" Ace didn't trail off, he stopped abruptly. He leaned forward, allowing for hair and shadow to obscure his eyes. What was Ace about to say?

Something better off left unsaid, because the both of them already knew the answer.

"No! He doesn't need our help! He made his choice. But Luffy! Remember our promise. We will meet again one day in the future! It doesn't matter if we're pirates or not! No matter where we'll be! We will always be brothers!"

Luffy woke up in the dark. Alone. It was rare for her dreams to elude her and still affect her this much, but..

Out of sight, out of mind.

Luffy shook the sleep from her mind, it all was not a nightmare.

It was.. She needed- It was-

"Aaaaahhh! What a nice nap that was!" Luffy stretched outta that barrel, barely noticing when her fists connected with something. Or rather someone, two someones actually.

Luffy wondered where she was. It might have been time to accept that maybe she w a lost. She looked down, and finally noticed her state of undress.

"Ah! I'm shirtless!" Luffy's red vest and undershirt hung around her neck, and not in their proper place. When did she...?

"Ah! I'm shirtless!" At those words, and that high pitch..! Coby didn't need to see or even know the gender of the owner of that voice, to feel bashful. His response was immediate. Shutting his eyes, and turning around to face the wall nearly caused him to trip over his own feet.

Coby's eyes were closed, so he hadn't seen anything!

Nothing at all!

Coby's eyes were closed so he didn't see the tan, half-naked girl turn around in her barrel. He didn't see as she turned her undershirt inside out. He didn't see it when she put her legs through it like a skirt. And he didn't see her using the straps of the undershirt like handlebars, to pull it rightside up. Nor did he see it when the red men's vest went over it all, completing the illusion.

Fully dressed, Luffy turned around to face the room, still in her barrel. A pink-haired boy around her age, most likely Coby, was facing the other wall while sweating profusely. The third pirate in the room, however, was ogling her. She might have been momentarily frozen in a state of shock, at the transforming girl.*

Looking around her Luffy noted that she wasn't in some shack in the woods. Did that mean she was on a cruiseship? Did that mean Nami was nearby?

Nami?

"Who are you?" She's not Nami. Inazuma said to always be polite, but maybe they were wrong. Because the pirate didn't look so happy.

"That's my question!" She was already regretting her sloth and gluttony. Why had she wanted to get drunk with those bozos again? Why was she always so sinful?

"Ah! I'm Monkey D. Luffy! Pleased to meet you!" That's right! Luffy had forgotten to introduce herself! So that must be why! Luffy had been rude again. Something abnormal lying one the ground caught her eye.

"Who are they?" Luffy pointed at the men knocked out cold. "They're going to catch a cold like that."

"That's your fault!" What's her fault!? This woman's rude. After seemingly ignoring the pirate, the stranger finally seemed to acknowledge her. "Wait. Were you watching me change? How rude."

"You're the rude one! Why were you sleeping in a barrel anyway!?" This bumpkin was seriously starting to get on her nerves!

"I lost my ship.." Luffy started cleaning her ear with a finger. The conversation just got boring.

"I'm a pirate! I don't need to stand here and take this crap from you!" The smartly dressed pirate ran at Luffy, swords swinging.

Coby who had finally turned around, quickly shut his eyes again. He hated it.

Hated. Hated. Hated. He hated it when the pirates around him were so callous to the lives of people.

But instead of a scream meeting his ears, a dull thud could be heard. Did the girl not scream..?

Coby opened his eyes. Seeing that the last pirate other than him was out cold, and her swords were both broken clearly in half. Coby concluded that the strange girl who dressed like a boy was strong. Like really, really strong.

Coby crushed that small bit of hope that was forming in his heart, though. Hope did nothing for him. It was too dangerous.

It was all excuses with him. Don't needlessly risk your life. Don't anger Alvar-sama. Don't go against him. If you survive another day then maybe you could achieve something.. Coby thought of his makeshift and rickety rowboat back at the island… but at this rate..

He was never going to become a Marine, was he?

It was something impossible.

"Hey, you."

"Ye-yes!"

"I'm hungry."


AN: *The smartly dressed pirate with the dual sword style thinks of Luffy as a pervert. Not as an Okama, a crossdresser. Think.. Instead of a trench coat, she wears men's clothing.

Also a lot of the no name people of One Piece will also be rule 63'd. Which means that some of the people featured aren't the same people as in the show. Since some of their female counterparts wouldn't want to be pirates while some still would. So replace the big guy with a woman that's not him. Also the reason for most of them joining Alvar is entirely different.

Please note: I don't like the cliche anime half naked girl scenes, so after this I'm never doing it again. Probably. And I only did it this time, because I wanted Coby to think about Luffy as a she. And because of later plot details, and running gags. And because this is an SI, Luffy binds, as that is what I want. I'm Agender. She's also pretty flat even without, because even with that genderbent SBS I can't imagine her busty. Also with the way she walks and the gruff way she speaks people will mistake her for a guy.

If anyone wants to know Alvar-sama is speaking English with a southern accent. It's not a thick one either, just barely perceptible. It's not Texan though.
