Characters read Luffy's different Mama AU
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
"Ah Tamago! What have you found out about my grandson?" Big Mom asked looking at the now sweating man a day or two later. Katakuri had gotten back to the Chatue a few hours after they had learned about Luffy's family and immediately began tracking down the Straw Hats when he learned about how Luffy was the nephew he hadn't been able to find.
He was going to track down his nephew and bring him back, if he was fast then he could have the boy back in time for Brulee's birthday. It would be the one thing his sister actually wanted for her birthday for the last nineteen years and he was considered the best big brother in the family for a reason."
"Thank you onii-chan." Brulee said smiling at her older brother who nodded and patted her head.
"Anything for my favorite sister." Katakuri said making a few of his siblings pout but at least the older ones remembered why exactly Brulee was his favorite.
"Well? Tell me!" Brulee said glaring holes in Tamago's head as she stared at him with such intensity that if she had a heat based devil fruit he'd be nothing but ashes."
"I don't doubt that. Remember what happened when one spy was reporting to Oven-nii-san about his sons date but didn't report fast enough?" Hachee asked with a chuckle.
"You accidentally vaporize someone once!"
"Patience Brulee. Tamago was just about to start the reports." Perospero said making his sister take a deep breath and calm herself down so that she wasn't as frantic as she has been for the last day or so. Ever since finding out her son was still alive she had been rather… on edge."
"Can you blame me? I didn't know where he was or anything for the last nineteen years and was fearing that he might be dead only to now hear he's a pirate with a decent sized bounty and who picked a fight with Mama!"
"It seems he was raised in the East Blue…in the Goa Kingdom. Working on the exact Island now." Tamago said making everyone look surprised.
"Such a strong pirate for being from the weakest sea." Cracker said making Big Mom grin.
"He's a Charlotte. Even more he's Brulee's son. Brulee is one of the strongest of you girls." Big Mom said making Brulee blush brightly but smile slightly at the compliment from her mother. Her mother rarely gave out compliments."
"Mama isn't wrong! Sure you aren't a Sweet Commander but you're more of stealth and ambush fighter anyways and you can deadlift like three hundred pounds without training a day in your life!" Smoothie said looking at her older sister who blushed and ducked her head shyly at this. Just because it was true didn't mean her sister had to say it!
"It seems that at the age of seventeen shortly after setting sail he had defeated most all of the major pirates from the East Blue with suffering little to no injury. This list includes Alvida the Iron Mace, Buggy the Clown who is now a warlord, Fold Play Krieg, and…Arlong the Fishman. Without the use of Haki." Tamago said making everyone pause for a moment.
"No matter how you look at it that is a bit impressive. Fishmen are naturally stronger than most humans physically." Cinnamon said a bit impressed at the feat. For New World raised pirates to do so it was only a little impressive, but considering that even though he was born in the New World he was raised in the weakest sea it was incredibly impressive."
"I mean…you aren't wrong." Citron said nodding to her triplet who just shrugged.
"It… also seems that his first mate Pirate Hunter Zoro…has faced Mihawk in battle while in the East Blue and survived a direct attack from the Black Blade." Tamago said next earning an impressed look from Amande who was one of the best sword users out of her siblings.
"To survive a slash from that blade…that's rare." Amande said her hand resting on the hilt of her own famous sword, a present from her Mama for her twentieth birthday after she had bested the kingdoms best swordsman with her practice sword."
"And Amande-nee is still the undefeated swordsmaster of the family! I dabble but she's the best!" Smoothie said looking at her older sister who just tipped her hat a little at that and smirked.
"Look if my daughter could best the best swordsmen in the kingdom at the age of ten with a real sword it was impressive but not enough to get a Meito instead of a Devil Fruit. If she was able to do it with a simple wooden sword while they used real ones? Then that was impressive. And the only reason she waited until she was twenty is because she decided to try out other weapons first before sticking with the sword." Big Mom said and she was very proud of Amande who blushed a bit at the praise and looked away. Zoro grinned. He definitely wanted to have a spar with her later.
"Mamamamama. I'd expect no less from my grandson's First Mate!" Big Mom laughed, impressed herself at the fact that some no name brat from the Weakest Sea had survived Mihawk, even if the Warlord hadn't been fighting seriously.
"The only other thing of note that happened in East Blue would be when the Straw Hats were at Loguetown before entering the Grand Line through the Reverse Mountain." Tamago said looking more nervous than ever now as he glanced warily at Brulee. The Mirror woman was vastly overprotective of her siblings…how protective would she be of her son?"
"Oh very protective. Especially as I had just learned that he's actually alive." Brulee said with a grin on her face that belied the dark look in her eyes.
"I remember Loguetown." Sanji said with a grimace as he looked at Zoro who grimaced as well and gripped his sword tightly. If that lightning blast was just a single second later…
Zoro reached over and pulled Luffy into his arms without a word, planting his chin on Luffy's head and causing the two overprotective brothers to glare darkly at him while Brulee and the Charlottes eyed him darkly.
"Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like this?" Brulee asked narrowing her eyes at Tamago's worried look.
"I-It seems that while in Loguetown…Buggy and Alvida joined together their crews in an alliance to…execute Straw Hat Luffy. One of our spies was on scene when it happened and he reported that Straw Hat was caught unaware from behind while on the Execution Stand and cuffed with Sea Stone."
"What?!" The Straw Hats that hadn't been there and the two Bro-cons were shocked at hearing this and everyone immediately reached out to touch or grab hold of Luffy somehow.
"They…Were planning to execute him via decapitation in the same spot Gol. D. Roger had been executed." Tamago said backing away slowly and no one could blame him.
"WHAT?!" Brulee demanded with a screech, standing and making the mirrors in the room begin to tremble as they reacted to their mistresses fury.
"Obviously it didn't work Brulee! Calm down and let Tamago finish the report!" Compote barked as she felt her sisters powers begin to activate…and surge. Now most thought that the Mirror Mirror fruit wasn't good for anything but spying and ambush tactics but they forgot something important. A mirror shows a reflection of what's in front of it. Brulee had access to Mirrors around the world and could reflect anyone she wanted to and their powers at a moments notice."
"Only if they're in my range! I can't go across the seas or anything but only around the nearby islands." Brulee said trying to downplay her own abilities and making her siblings look at her in disbelief.
"You can reflect Mama." Daifuku reminded his little sister who blushed a bit embarrassed as she recalled doing that the first time.
"Sister breath." Amande said slowly as she placed a hand on her younger sisters shoulder and gently pushed her back down into the chair while Smoothie quickly forced a glass of grapefruit juice, Brulee's favorite drink of choice, into her sisters hand."
"How would you react if those were your kids he was talking about Amande-nee-chan?" Brulee asked looking at her sister who gripped her sword tightly and she radiated bloodlust for a long moment.
"I sssee your point." Amande said after a few seconds and making the others look wary. Amande rarely ever hissed anymore.
"What happened Tamago? Did his crew get him free?" Big Mom barked the questions at the man who quickly scrambled for the papers.
"A-Actually while our spy reported that Vinsmoke Sanji and Pirate Hunter had arrived on scene and were making their way to try and rescue their captain after he had yelled how he would be the King of Pirates." Tamago said before a low whistle interrupted him.
"Kids' got balls of steel to say something like that in the same spot Roger was executed." Oven said with a small smirk as some of his siblings nodded in agreement."
"Captain is good at doing things that require big balls." Zoro chuckled while Luffy tilted his head curiously.
"Why are they talking about the size of my ba-"
"You are not allowed to say that word ever Luffy. And you don't have to worry about it. It's just something people say, it doesn't really mean anything." Robin hurriedly stopped that with slightly wide eyes while the rest of the crew was tense and alarmed. Nope. Their cute captain wasn't allowed to ever learn about anything like that.
"…they wouldn't have made it in time since they did not know any ranged moves at the time the incident occurred." Tamago said finally and knew it was the wrong thing to say as the mirrors in the room began trembling harder while Brulee was visibly fighting to stay in her seat.
"O-Our spy said that as Buggy was bringing the sword down on Straw Hat…he witnessed something he had only seen once before…and couldn't believe it." Tamago said nervously stepping further away from Brulee."
"Stop dragging it out and just tell us. You're going to send Brulee into a panic attack-peroin." Perospero said shaking his head a bit and glancing at his sister worriedly even though they had already lived through this once before.
"Zoro! Sanji! Usopp! Nami! Sorry but…I'm dead.' Those were Luffy's last words before…he grinned happily." Tamago said making Brulee go ashen white as she nearly went boneless in her seat, her eyes wide. She could have lost him. She could have lost her baby boy before he even entered the Grand Line all because of an arrogant brat and her son's incompetent crew…and her son would have been happy with that."
"We were close to losing him that time. We refuse to ever come that close again." Zoro said with his eye glinting darkly and his arms tightening around Luffy protectively.
"Shishishishi! I'm not worried. I've got you all with me and we're all lots stronger than we were before! I know my crew can save me from anything!" Luffy said beaming brightly at his crew who all sighed and smiled warmly but softly at him.
"That's right captain. We're all protect you." Nami said pressing a kiss to his forehead and the rest of the crew covered his forehead in kisses as well, even Jimbe did it with a small smile on his face as Luffy giggled at the fishmans stubble tickling him.
"The blade was just above his neck when…the largest recorded strike of lightning in the area struck the platform and burnt it while also making it collapse to the ground." Tamago said causing Brulee to go even paler. Her son had been struck by lightning?!
"How badly had he been injured?" Citron asked pale as well, seriously was her nephew a trouble magnet or what?"
"Yes!" The Straw Hats and Ace and Sabo agreed immediately.
"Um…that's…where it gets surprising. A-According to our spy…Straw Hat Luffy stood up and laughed completely fine after the platform collapsed. I believe our spy recalled him saying 'I'm still alive…that's nice.' Before he took off away from the scene."
"Yeah that was a shock to me too." Luffy said with a laugh.
"Tamago said making more than a few of the siblings look shocked and gape in disbelief. Even Big Mom was surprised by this.
"How? Most of us would be gravely injured if not killed by such a thing so how did he survive that?" Cinnamon asked staring at Tamago in shock and disbelief."
"Yeah bullets, punches, and sword slices are one thing those are mostly physical and we have tougher than normal bodies thanks to Mama. Lighting means frying the insides usually and we're more durable but not quite that durable." Broye said wincing as she looked at her nephew.
"It…seems he had eaten a Devil Fruit by accident when he was a child. My best guess is that his Devil Fruit renders him immune to lightning." Tamago said quickly flipping through the reports.
"A-According to this he is also immune to blunt damage such as clubs or punches that aren't infused with Haki, as well as any projectiles that aren't bladed or made of sea stone. Regular bullets…quite literally bounce off of him without leaving a mark."
"Yeah Rubber seemed really lame and useless when we were kids and he couldn't even aim his limbs properly but being immune to all that? That's pretty Overpowered." Ace said shaking his head and marveling at how dumb he was as a kid thinking that his brothers power was useless and lame. Being able to take those things, as long as they weren't powered by Haki, and have it literally bounce off of him? Being hit by lightning and unaffected?
That was useful as fuck.
"Tamago said quickly finding that part of the report and making the siblings, except for Brulee who was closing her eyes and trying to calm down her breathing, to exchange wide eyed looks.
"What Devil Fruit did he eat? A Logia of some type?" Big Mom asked just as surprised as her children but doing a much better job of hiding it.
"Um no…he ate a paramecia class fruit." Tamago said making all of them stare at him in disbelief."
"Yeah it's almost unheard of for a Paramecia class fruit to give abilities or immunities like that." Compote said shaking her head and honestly surprised by how useful a devil fruit that was.
"What kind of Paramecia fruit did he eat?" Perospero asked in disbelief even as he handed Brulee some candy for her to munch on, which she did with great aggression.
"He ate the Gum-Gum fruit. The kids body is made of rubber." Bege was the one to say from where he was sitting beside his wife who was holding their son in her arms.
"He's a supernova like me, I kept an eye on the kids abilities in case we ever had to fight." Bege said when everyone looked at him in curiosity on how he knew that."
"I like how Bege just calls him a kid because Luffy's the youngest of the Supernovas." Robin said amused and glancing at the man who scowled.
"He's a kid. A strong one but still a kid. Get used to it boya." Bege said and Luffy didn't look bothered as he smiled brightly at Bege.
"From the Reverse Mountain it seems that he landed on the Bounty Hunter nest Whiskey Peak. We're not exactly sure what happened but…it seems that Pirate Hunter alone took out all one hundred bounty hunters as well as several higher up agents of Crocodile's Baroque Works."
"Yeah that was a good warm up." Zoro said although he frowned a bit as he glanced at Luffy in his arms. After all he and his captain had gotten into a fight and disagreement because of lack of communication. The first and last time that happened.
"An unknown amount of time later it seems that they had landed on the island of Drum seeking medical help for the navigator Cat Burglar Nami." Tamago said quickly hurrying along before Brulee could react to hearing her son had been in the clutches of bounty hunters."
"That's probably for the best." Big Mom agreed glancing at her daughter.
"During this it seems that the King of the Island, Wapol, had tried to take his kingdom back even though he had deserted it earlier due to a pirate attacking it." Tamago said causing most of the Charlotte siblings to scowl in disgust, even the younger ones.
"He sounds like a coward." Duece and Dulgee said making the older ones nod."
"He was." The Straw Hats that had been there had agreed with that with small scowls on their faces.
"That filth had always been a coward." Vivi said scowling a bit as well.
"During the ensuing fight, Straw Hat protected a flag that meant a lot to a friend he had made at the time. A doctor from the reports. Straw Hat also ended up dethroning Wapol for good as well as punching a World Government acknowledged King."
"Unfortunately he didn't stay away forever. He was there at the Reverie after all but thankfully Dalton and Doctrine were keeping him in line." Vivi said crossing her arms and Chopper lit up.
"You saw Doctrine!?" Chopper demanded and Vivi smiled at him.
"I did, as well as met some new friends who you guys know. She was looking well Chopper and she's very proud of you." Vivi said and Chopper went teary eyes and cried happily as he clung onto Vivi who just chuckled and rubbed his back.
"When they left the island it was in the company of their pet Cotton Candy Lover Chopper. It says they left with a doctor joining their crew as well but if they did then they've managed to keep the doctor away from all fights and from all marines." Tamago said making Big Mom frown slightly."
"I'm not a pet!" Chopper said glaring at the Big Mom pirates.
"Yeah Chopper is the best doctor ever!" Luffy agreed and Chopper blushed and did his wiggly dance.
"That doesn't make me happy at all you bastard."
"Look just cause I hate Dragon now and am giving up on men romantically doesn't make Luffy a bastard. Dragon and I were married when he was born."
"Don't worry about that Brulee-san. Chopper calls everyone bastards when he's happy or embarrassed." Usopp said with a small smile towards the doctor.
"There's something more to that pet than meets the eye I'm sure. Perhaps they the crew are training it to be a last line of defense Guard for their captain?" Daifuku was thinking along the same lines as his mother, earning a helpless shrug from Tamago.
"There are rumors of it being a monster but there has been no way for our spies to verify it for sure yet."
"Chopper's not a monster." Luffy said frowning slightly but Chopper shook his head with a smile.
"If it's for my crew then I'll be a monster!" Chopper proudly declared and the crew all gave him soft smiles or passed him around for hugs.
"Moving on from there, it seems that the crew then made it's way to Alabasta with Princess Vivi in their company and reported to being in great debt to Luffy and his crew."
"I am. I owe the Straw Hats a debt I can never repay." Vivi said smiling fondly at Luffy and the crew and earning nods from Shirahoshi, Viola, and Rebecca.
"You don't owe us anything Vivi! After all we're nakama!" Luffy said beaming at her and she smiled brightly at him with happy tears in her eyes.
"According to our contacts in the kingdom…that was where Luffy met up with his elder brother for the first time since the brother had set off to become a pirate three years before Luffy had." Tamago said making Brulee jerk slightly in her seat as she glared darkly.
"Luffy was an only child I would know. Does that mean that Dragon had-" Tamago quickly cut off Brulee before she could get too worked up over it."
"Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he did have more children out there in the world." Brulee said but she scowled a bit.
"Reports say that the 'brother' in question is Portagues D. Ace, otherwise known as Gol D. Ace,"
"That's not my name! I'm Portagues through and through!"
"and had been raised as Luffy's adopted brother. He was the one they had been trying to execute at the War of Best two years ago." Tamago reported making everyone pause for a moment before most of the siblings began paling or looking horrified."
The Straw Hats and those from the future looked solemn or gloomy as they all looked at the confused Ace and the frozen Luffy.
"But…Straw Hat had been there…and if I remember right then not only did Whitebeard die at the War…but so did Ace himself."
"Shit. I broke my promise." Ace said glaring at the ground darkly and hating that his Pops had died alongside him. And that wasn't even counting however many of his ship brothers had died as well.
"You died taking a blast of magma through the back in order to protect Luffy." Robin informed him quietly, her eyes firmly locked onto her captain who had closed his eyes and then reopened them and smiled, one hand latching out onto Ace's arm.
"Saving my brother huh? Then I probably died smiling." Ace said with a small wince although he smiled as he looked at Luffy.
"You did." Luffy said quietly with a soft smile in return and there were tears in his eyes but they didn't fall as he kept a firm grip on his brother.
"Monte-d'Or said making the few that hadn't look horrified or pale to look that way now.
"Luffy had to watch as the one he viewed as his older brother was killed right in front of him." Amande was the one to say what they were all thinking while Burlee was visibly being restrained by Compote to keep from running to the nearest Mirror to find her son."
"Damn right I did. Losing a sibling…having that brother die in his arms…I had to see for myself that my son was okay." Brulee said staring at her son who gave her a small smile but it was noticeably duller than normal.
"After refusing to join the WhiteBeard Pirates when Ace offered him to, it's reported that Luffy's crew proceeded to defeat Crocodile's top officers…with Luffy himself fighting Crocodile a total of three times. It's said that Luffy lost twice and was saved from death by someone else, although we're unsure who at the moment,"
"Ah that was me." Robin said and she earned grins from the rest of the crew.
"Not even joining us officially yet and you're already protecting and saving the captain." Nami said shaking her head fondly. It was like Robin was always destined to be one of them, and who knows maybe she was.
"before he finally defeated Crocodile the third time just in time to stop the war and save the country's King." Tamago said making Brulee struggle harder to get out of Compote's hold while Galette moved to use her powers to help restrain her sister."
"I was hearing about how my son had nearly died fighting a warlord! Of course I was trying to go check on him!"
"Let me go! I'll track Crocodile down and kill him myself!" Brulee shouted at her siblings as a near maniac glint appeared in her eyes. How dare that man try and kill her son?!
"From there it seems that they left the kingdom with a new crewmember and as allies of the Alabasta Royal Family and Kingdom in general."
"While we can't fly your flag publicly yet you're always going to be the Friends and Saviors of Alabasta!" Vivi said grinning at her crew.
"From what some of our spies in various places managed to gather…Devil's Child Nico Robin had joined the crew after they beat her former boss Crocodile…one spy said that Sanji was heard gripping in a bar a few islands over about how she had said, and I quote, 'what he (meaning Luffy) had done to her was unbearable and he should take responsibility.'"
"Ah. I see how my phrasing there would have caused some confusion and misunderstanding. Fufufufu." Robin said with a small laugh while those who hadn't heard of that before looked stunned or confused.
"I don't get it." Luffy said tilting his head curiously, Zoro moving enough to allow the action but still holding his captain tightly.
"Don't worry Luffy. It's just another thing some people say, it doesn't mean anything other than you saved my life when I told you not to." Robin said smiling at him fondly again and then glancing up to glare everyone else into silence.
Her eyes practically screamed 'Tell him and I show you why I'm a Devil' at them all.
"End Quote." Tamago said making everyone over the age of fifteen pause and all of them to slowly turn to stare at Brulee who had frozen rather comically at that information.
Releasing her hold on her younger sister, Compote had seen the tell-tale signs of her sister about to go apeshit and wisely backed away while covering her ears."
"Brulee has Mama's lugs." Compote said with the upmost seriousness and earning nods from the other older siblings.
"Just in time too, Brulee's screech was heard clear to Nuts Island.
"WHAT!? MY BABY BOY IS ALREADY MARRIED?!"
"Eh? I am?" Luffy asked tilting his head a bit at that and making the whole room stare at him in disbelief or wince at the misunderstanding.
"We're married Robin? Why didn't you tell me?" Luffy asked staring at Robin who chuckled.
"Oh no Luffy. We're not married. It's just a misunderstanding." Robin said and Luffy smiled brightly at her.
"Okay! That's good! I wouldn't mind marrying you but Franky likes you lots so I don't want to make him sad!" Luffy said and Robin's eyes widened while she got a small blush on her cheeks at hearing that, everyone looking at the now bright red and flustered cyborg who was stuttering and fumbling with some kind of excuse or another.
"I mean Uh-" Franky was cut off when Robin kissed his nose for a second, causing his hair to go nuts.
"That wasn't three seconds Franky." Luffy said staring at his shipwright confused, that was the first time Franky's hair had done that before three seconds was up.
Most of the crew fell out laughing and half of the Charlottes did as well while Franky blushed brighter and stumbled and stammered.
"You're lucky you're cute." Robin said smirking at him as she gave him a quick kiss on the lips. Franky fell silent with wide eyes and a bright red face and you could almost hear the error message in his brain.
Franky .exe. has stopped working.
"He's being weird." Luffy said blinking at the cyborg who gaped wordlessly.
"I think you broke him Robin." Nami said amused and the archaeologist smiled wider.
"Oops." She however did not look or sound the least bit apologetic.
