Ch.10: Fate acts with humor.
There was shocked silence until Benn asked for all of them,
"You can swim? I thought that all Devil Fruit users couldn't swim…?" Luffy nodded,
"It's not that they can't swim; it's more like they are weak in water."
"?"
"My zoan form has a special oil that covers it so I can swim. I'm still weak to water and sea-stone when it directly touches me though."
"Oh, I get it. Oil repels water, right?"
"Yup~" Benn extinguished his cigarette and leaned forward,
"So does this work on other DF people?"
"Saa… Who knows? But why?"
"You see… There's this guy that keeps complaining that he used to be a great swimmer. Though I doubt it; I really want him to shut up." Shanks smirked as he realized who his first mate was talking about… (Hint: big red nose) Luffy cocked her head,
"Well, it's not like it's lotion or something. It's like a part of me."
"Ah, is that so?"
"Yah and it'll be troublesome if others could start swimming… That's like cheating." They laughed at the thought of various DF users trying to learn how to swim. Especially the old ones like Whitebeard and Akainu…
With the excitement from seeing her hybrid form over, they went back to partying and talking about random stuff and adventure again. During that time period, two children about nine years old ran in and spotted the chest. Thinking that it was filled with treasure, they stole it and immediately left before anyone noticed.
Well… Luffy noticed, but her narcolepsy took over and she fell asleep. Shanks may have noticed, too, but he was so drunk that he thought that he may have been seeing things. Benn was smoking casually while resting his eyes. Lucky was eating meat and dancing like there's no tomorrow. Yasopp told more and more stories.
Thus, the morning after, there was a bunch of screams that could be heard from the Red-Haired Pirates…
At Night near Dadan's House
"I wonder what's in here…" The strawberry-blond hair girl's eyes sparkled brightly,
"Treasure, treasure, and treasure? Maybe I can eat all those delicious pastries at the bakery~! I love strawberry shortcake!"
"Is that all you can think of, Ann? We need to save up to become pirates! And what pirates don't have a boat?"
"We can just steal a dinghy for that."
"A dinghy's not going to take us to the Grand Line!"
"Let's think about getting enough money later… Strawberry shortcake now!"
"You know, sometimes, I wonder if we're really related… Then, I remember that we're twins…"
"Admit it, Ace; you're thinking about food too~"
She poked her little brother and he picked the lock off. Slowly, they opened the chest to find a… Devil Fruit? Both of them grinned,
"We're rich! Yes! We're ri—"
And at that very moment, they both got a narcoleptic fit and fell asleep. Ann accidentally swallowed the fruit in her dreams,
"Nnngh, tastes so horrible… Need strawberry shortcake…"
A/N: Just a little note: Title changed and will probably stay like that for now on. Godai is the five elements, just to let you know.
And I'd like to note that Luffy's DF is a Zoan, not a Logia or Paramecia, so she CANNOT control water or anything like that. She only has her special animal trait that allows her to swim underwater... Seastone and water still weakens her when it touches her directly like any other DF user in canon. And she can not breathe underwater, but can hold her breath for up to 3 hours like a blue whale or dolphin does. But really, she is a Zoan so she has no control over nature just like the Zoan, Marco, has no control over fire according to Word of God (aka Oda). Plus, a DF user that controls water or is even immune to it is too invincible so just no water-controlling/immunity at all. And if you don't know what a Leviathan is, then I recommend Google.
Anyways, thanks for reading and reviewing~! Reviews really makes this otaku very happy! And flames really makes this otaku think and help her cook cookies~
