Wow! A fast update. Le Gasp! Well , reviews make me write faster -hint hint- and I'm done with my difficult Oceanography test-which I failed T-T . Anyway,All of you got what the Omake was about but only one person got it first, 917brat! Congratulations! Also most of you think Ikuto was Shanks. Naw , it was Gender-bent Nami. I thought someone would catch it. Also, the general consensus is to keep everybody in the crew their original gender. If that's what you want then that's what I'll give you. Sorry to those who wantedNamizo. But do not fret, he will appear in the Omakes.
Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers, I make these chapters longer cause you deserve it and Also thanks to ToLayDownMyLife for pointing out that I had misspelled 'Omakes'.
Warning: A bit of innuendo, a perverted 10-year old, and one creepy Cabaji.

Chapter Three : Of Nami's and Naked Ball Bombings.
-Opportunity-
Nami had always been a girl who valued opportunity.
So when she saw one she took it. No questions asked.
Whether it was in the form of some stupid pirates, idiot men, or a girl who had fallen from the sky.
In her line of work it was one for one and all for none , so when her salvation from capture had come in the form of a screaming girl in a red tank and a straw-hat she had not hesitated to direct the ire of her pursuers to the cluelessly blinking girl.
However, as she ran with her map in hand she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. While she was a very capable sailor and cunning trickster (and with who she had as a mother how could she not be) it didn't mean that the girl was. Nami felt her mouth dry at the thought that she had just condemned another to the fate she was so desperately trying to escape.
With a frustrated growl, she cut into a nearby alleyway and circled back around, fully intending to help the girl she had just damned.
oOooooooOoOoOoOoOoOo
Luffy blinked after the rapidly disappearing girl, a look of confusion on her face, before turning to the three guys surrounding her.
"Oh man, she's getting away!" One cried.
"Who cares?" said another." We got her boss right here."
"This scrawny thing is her boss? " the first cried. "Man, if she's employed under someone like this it makes it all the more embarrassing that she was able to one-up us!"
"I don't know." The third one said , a rather questionable leer on his face. "From where I'm standing she's not that scrawny."
The other two paused their lamenting to observe the girl who looked all the more confused. The first huffed and crossed his arms. "Well, I'm sure The Captain can find use for her if we take her to him."
"If she's the big boss, then she's much more valuable than the girl."
The third nodded eagerly. "I think she's more of a prize than some dumb map."
He grabbed Luffy's arm none to gently." Come on girlie, we got someone who loved too-"
The poor guy never finished his sentence, when a weight like an anvil struck his face, and everything went black.
The other two gawked as their comrade was propelled backwards from the force of the girl's punch.
Luffy caught her hat as it floated down from the air after being dislodged when the other pirate had grabbed her. She leveled the other pirates with a hard glare.
"Don't touch the hat."
The two remaining pirates pulled out their swords. "You'll pay for that wrench!"
And they charged.
To say Nami was shocked as she watched the slight girl stream-roll the remaining two pirate would be a vast understatement.
Maybe, she could find some use for this girl.
- Too fast-
Zoro panted as he leaned heavily against the heavy, iron cage, his energy completely spent.
Luffy stared at him with worried brown eyes.
"Is Zoro alright?" She asked timidly, eyeing the alarming amount of blood the swordsman was losing.
If it had been anyone else, Zoro would have snapped that he was not all-fucking-right and you would have to be some kind of idiot not to realize that.
But this was Luffy...
"I'll be fine."
Luffy beamed at him, relieved, before cheerfully taking in their surroundings. She blinked as her eyes landed on a small white dog just inches away from her.
The next two minutes resulted in a very peeved off dog latched to his Captain's failing hand.
Zoro rolled his eyes. He reached over and plucked the dog off his captain before collapsing in a heap. Really, he couldn't leave her alone for a second!
"Oh look it's our navigator." Zoro head snapped up at Luffy's cheery remark. He leveled a hard glaze on the orange-haired girl. He didn't know why, but something about his fellow crewmate …irked him. He pawned it of as being his swordsman's paranoia and when she presented them with the key to free Luffy the bothersome thought was pushed to the dark recesses of his mind.
It would be months and four crewmates later, before he realized that the reason he had been so annoyed was because Luffy had found a new crewmate so fast.
-Be Mindful of Attacks-
Luffy took in the smoldering remains of the building, a grin of vicious triumphant on her face. "That ought to even the odds."
Zoro rolled his eyes in exasperation.
The little brat could've told him what she was planning.
"You made me worry for no-" Zoro immediately chocked as his eyes turned towards his captain. His hands flew to his eyes. "Gah, Luffy!"
Nami lowered her arms from her face at the swordsman's shout and immediately jerked her head toward Luffy, fearing the worst. A hot blush lit up her face, as soon as her eyes contacted with the other girl.
With deliberate calmness she stomped up to Luffy, who was staring at her first mate in startled bewilderment, and jerked her tank close.
"In the future you might want to be more mindful of that attack." she said in a voice of forced calm, her finger deftly fastening Luffy buttons. 'Especially if you're going to keep wearing button-up tanks'.
Luffy blinked and tilted her head to the side. "Why?"
Nami glared at her. "Because I said so, that why."
Luffy only looked more confused, but nodded nonetheless, prompting Nami to let out a relieved sigh.
Zoro cautiously lowered his hands form his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. It would not do good for his heart should this turn out to be a regular occurrence. 'Maybe having that girl on our team won't be such a bad thing.'
"If you think that's enough to finish me off you're horribly mistaken."
The menacing growl had all three heads jerking toward the ruins of Buggy's hide-out.
Buggy emerged from the rubble clutching two of his men as shields ,a man beside him, clad in a long scarf, repeating the action with the Giant Lion from before.
Nami felt anger bubble within her. 'Just like a pirate to value their own twisted lives above all else.'
"Hey, you're still alive." Luffy said, frowning. Buggy's face flushed with rage.
"Of course I am you stupid girl!" he shouted , furious. "I'm Captain Buggy!"
Luffy stared at the Clown, utterly unimpressed. "And I'm Captain Luffy."
Buggy's furious retort was cut off as the white form of his first mate went sailing past him in a screaming blur. Cabaji sneered as he straighten the font of his shirt, where the animal idiot had wrinkled it. With a smirk he watched as the fluffy idiot sailed towards the direction of the other pirates.
"Don't think so Lion guy!" Luffy shouted, kicking Mohji into a nearby wall. Cabaji's visible eye widened in surprise.
"Now down to business Straw-hat, "Buggy growled, glaring menacingly at the rag-tag team. " I had considered giving you a quick and painless death, but as you have acquired my ire–"
"Captain."
Buggy faltered, surprised, and threw an inquiring glace at his second mate. The acrobat was staring intently at Luffy, a rather hungry look in his eye.
"The girl. I want her."
Buggy favored the other with a droll look. "Didn't know she was your type."
"She's a fighter. I like that."
Buggy brought a hand to his chin thoughtfully. " Hmm, well I was planning on killing her, but letting you have her might be a worse punishment. What the hell? She's all yours."
Cabaji smirked, and mounted his unicycle, and charged straight towards the straw-hatted girl.
His smirk fell, however, as a flash of sliver flew through the air. In an instant, the acrobat had his swords out, and the sharp sound of steel clashing echoed across the square.
Blade meet Blade as Cabaji found himself face-to-face with one very pissed off first mate.
"If you're looking for a swordfight, I suggest you take it up with me." Zoro bit out, his eyes narrowed into furious slits. He'd heard quite well what the Other had just discussed with his Captain. There was no way in hell he was letting this freaky pirate anywhere near his captain.
A large spray of blood spurt out of his wound from his tense posture, but Zoro barely acknowledged it. Nami however, noticed it immediately.
"Oi, Zoro !" She shouted furiously. "What are you thinking? You shouldn't be fighting!"
"Yeah Zoro!" Luffy said, eyeing Zoro's wound. "Let me handle this. Don't worry, I can take him!"
Cabaji flashed the straw-hatted girl a rather eerie smile. "Oh contra Miss, it is I who will be taking you." Luffy blinked in confusion.
Zoro's eyes flashed. A second later, Cabaji found himself shoved a good foot and half back. The green-haired swordsman shot the other a ferocious glare.
Far from being rattled, Cabaji favored Zoro with an amused smirk.
"I don't think your guard dog likes me too much." Though his words were directed towards Luffy, the acrobat never moved his eyes from Zoro's.
Zoro's glared intensified. Wordlessly, he placed his sword in his mouth and took up his stance. Cabaji smirked widened, but he followed suit.
Later, Zoro would deny exactly how good it had felt to have Cabaji's blood coat his sword.
-Other than a normal nose-
Buggy glared at the girl who fought him with such ferocious vigor. All because he had insulted Shanks.
What was so great about that Red-haired asshole anyway? What made the girl fight so fiercely for him?
'Does she have a crush on him or something?'
"What's a crush?" Asked a bewildered Luffy. Buggy blinked.
Had he said that out loud?
"It's when you like someone." He said absentmindly. What a minute… Buggy glared at the girl.
"How dare you trick me into giving a romantic explanation!" He screamed flying at the girl. "DIE!"
Luffy dodged the attacked and leveled the clown with a glare. "I don't know what you're talking about but you're the one who started this fight when you insulted Shanks!" Unconsciously she filed that definition down for later.
Buggy's glare deepened. Damn that Shanks. He got everything!
Prestige.
Power.
Cute Fangirls.
What did Shanks have that he didn't, beside from a normal nose? His stupid crew didn't even have a theme!
"I can insult that bilge-rat if I want to especially after what he did to me!" Buggy snarled.
Luffy brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" Buggy grinned.
'Let see how Shanks feels after I steal his beloved fangirl away by telling her how he ruined my life.' He thought viciously before launching into his depressing tale.
Of course, in the end the girl had only picked up the fact that Shanks had saved his life and Buggy's hope was shattered.
Meanwhile, on some indiscernible island, a red-haired pirate smirked as an unknown feeling of smug satisfaction washed over him.
-Kind-hearted fools-
Nami released the failing girls' head with a huff. Luffy fell back heavily on the deck of her boat , where Zoro was laughing his head off , and sent her new navigator a wounded pout.
"5 million berries," she whispered bitterly. "5 million berries, 5 million berries." That was 5 million berries closer to her goal. Gone! And all because of the work of some kind-heated fool.
She sent a scathing glare toward the small dinghy that held her new 'comrades'. Luffy was now pouting at the still laughing Zoro, abesentmindly fingering the slash holes in her hat.
Grumbling , Nami leaned over and snatch the battered hat out the other girls hands.
"Shut up." She snapped, as the girl opened her mouth to protest." I'm just gonna fix it."
Luffy's eyes lit up like the sun. "Really! Thanks Nami!"
And just like that Nami felt every ounce of anger leave her in the wake of that smile.
Sighing, the navigator set to work repairing her captain's hat as the girl hummed happily.
Zoro gave the two girls an amused glance before turning to the sky with a smile.
"Well,for better or worse it looks like we got a navigator on our journey."
Of Protective Brothers : Book Beginnings.
(This is a result of a joke my friend showed me. Blame it on him.)
Ace glared at the disgusting sight taking place before him.
His sister. HIS sister, laughing and playing. With a someone who wasn't him!
His eyes narrowed, as a dark aura began to emit from his body.
Sabo batted away the dark clouds flowing around their hiding spot, and rolled his eyes at his fuming brother. He frowned as practically sharp twig poked his ass. Today was laundry day, which basically meant they dumped all their underwear at Dadans's and suffered a day without them. It made sitting in this twiggy bush hell.
"Ace," Sabo started slowly, inwardly cursing his lack of extra protection." You know she is allowed to play with people other than us, right?"
The freckled boy opened his mouth furiously, looking like he was about to refute that, but a happy giggle floated across their hiding place, prompting his indignant face to melt into one of absolute loathing. With a dark glare, the freckled boy turned back to the 'disgusting sight'.
"I don't trust him."
"Of course you don't."
"He's up to something."
"I'm sure he is."
"I'm perfectly alright with her playing with other kids."
"Sure you are."
"But this guy is not one of them. This will turn out badly."
"Of course it will."
Ace turned and glared at him. "Will you stop that!I'm being serious!"
Sabo favored his fuming brother with an unimpressed look. " You're being serious when you fume for over three hours and accuse a ten year old of an insidious plot."
"YES!"
Sabo rolled his eyes. "I think you're jealous."
Ace's eye twitched.
"I'm not jealous." He spat indignantly. Sabo smirked . This gave him an idea.
"Would you prefer manically over-protective?"
"Sabo," Ace began in a dangerous voice. "I'm warning you."
Sabo smirk widened. This was too easy. "How about insanely paranoid? Does that work?"
"How about I show you how my fists work?"
"If you can catch me!"
And with that Sabo dashed into the woods, leaving Luffy alone with her new friend, a fuming Ace on his tail.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Ace was very unhappy when he found out what Sabo had been planning.
"I can't believe you!" he raged . "They could be anywhere now! How am I supposed to protect her ?"
Sabo sighed , and tighten his hold on the back of Ace's shirt. "Ace, calm down ."
"I will not calm down!" Ace snarled, rounding on his brother. "How are you calm? That little jerk could be-"
"Playing with our sister and not doing anything wrong?"
"He's not innocent I tell you, he's up to something-"
Sabo suddenly grabbed his brother by his arms, effectively shutting him up. "Ace, Luffy will never replace us. No listen!" He snapped, when Ace opened his mouth. "Someday we will grow up and get our own crews, when that time comes we will make new bonds, deep bonds with our crewmates. You'll make new bonds, I'll make new bonds, Luffy will make new bonds, but one thing that will never change is the bond we share as siblings." He stared intently into Ace's eyes. "Nothing can ever break that. So instead of worrying yourself into a frenzy, just take this experience as one you'll have to face in the future."
Ace shoulders sagged as Sabo released him. " You're right Sabo , I have been acting a little crazy-"
"A little?" Sabo said , incredulously.
Ace rolled his eyes. "Okay, a lot. But that'll change from now on I-"
"Saboooo, Aceeeee!" Ace snapped around, and flashed his sister a beaming smile, a move copied by Sabo.
"Luffy , wel-c-come back?" Sabo faltered, his smile slipping off his face as his sister neared.
"Luffy, What are you wearing?" Ace said blankly as his sister skidded to a halt in front of them.
Luffy blinked and looked down at her attire. Finding nothing out of the ordinary she looked back up at her brothers, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Clothes." She said simply. Ace twitched.
"No, Luffy he meant why are you wearing that." Sabo said patently, gesturing towards the baby blue dress she was wearing. She looked absolutely adorable in it, yes , and he was in no way opposed to her wearing it but it just didn't add up. Luffy hated dresses. He vividly remembered her shredding the one Garp-san had sent her for her birthday. Why would she be wearing one now? She defiantly hadn't left in it.
"Oh, Dante gave it to me!" she said brightly. Ace twitched again, and this time Sabo couldn't blame him. Did she like that kid so much that she was willing to dress in something she hated cause he gave it to her?
He'd thought the kid was just a fiend. Had she developed a crush on him? Was she finally growing into womanhood. Would the tomboy Luffy they knew and loved fade away? Sabo bit his lip. Why did the mere thought of that hurt so much?
"That was nice of him." Ace bit out. Sabo noticed his hand was twitching, as if itching to wrap around someone, preferable a certain town boy, throat. "But I thought you hated dresses."
Luffy face scrunched up in distaste. "I do!"
Ace and Sabo blinked. "Then why are you-"
"Because , Dante accidentally pushed me in some muggy mud(My own creation , i.e. really sticky mud.), and after that I had to take a shower to get it off , and he said my clothes were all ruined , so I couldn't wear them and all he had in my size was this dress. But it was fine cause I was bout to go but he asked me if I wanted to have a cartwheel contest, so I stayed, and I did 15 whole cartwheels while he watched from his treehouse but he could only do three when it was his turn, so I won and he gave me 200 berries!" Luffy babbled happily. She proudly presented them the 200 berry bill, good for at least 10 meals this week.
Ace's twitch had grown more severe throughout Luffy's tale while Sabo's eyes had gotten narrower. Something didn't add up.
"Luffy." Sabo asked patently. "Does Dante have a sister?"
"Nope."
Hmm.
So where did he get the dress?
"And he pushed you into some muggy mud, you say. Why were so close to that in the first place"
"Cause he said he saw something cool over there!"
Hmmm.
So they had been close to the mud because of him.
"And he asked you to do cartwheels. While he watched."
"Yep!"
Sabo closed his eyes, willing the last vestiges of his control not to leave him.
"And so you did cartwheels in a dress. While he watched."
"Yeah. And I got 200 berries. "
Ace was unable to contain himself.
"Luffy, you idiot!" He knew it. He just knew it! That kid ! When he got his hands on him he'd—"The reason that little shit gave you that dress and asked you to do cartwheel was so that he could see your underwear! He probably pushed you in the mud on purpose!" I wouldn't be surprised if the little bastard had planning this from the get-go!
Luffy's eyes narrowed in confusion." Why would he want to do a stupid thing like that?"
Ace stopped mid-rant , flushing. Sabo pinched the bridge of his nose. They were not about to have this talk with their ten-year-old sister.
"Because, um, because, uh, ah," Ace stuttered.
"He was trying to play a prank on you?" Sabo blurted.
"Yeah," Ace said, immediately catching on. "Obviously a prank."
Luffy eyes narrowed. "So he was making fun of me!"
Ace, who Sabo noted looked entirely too pleased at his sister's developing anger towards the boy, nodded vigorously.
"Yep," he said brightly. "He sure was!"
"Well, I don't want to play with someone stupid like that! Next time I see that jerk I'm gonna punch him the face!"
'Not before me.' Sabo and Ace thought viciously, just now remembering what the little creep had pulled. Surely he must have known he wasn't gonna get away with it.
"The jokes on him anyway." Luffy said smugly, crossing her arms." He didn't get to see my underwear at all!"
Ace smile widened at this , but Sabo felt a twinge of apprehension. "You mean you wore your shorts underneath?" Ace said happily. "Smart move sis."
Luffy tilted her head. " No , that's not what I meant."
"Then what did you-".
Ace suddenly broke off, paling.
Today had been laundry day.
And that had meant….
Ace turn horrified eyes on his now equally pale brother.
And so it came to pass that the citizens of Gray Terminal were wrought by a terrible rampage . It should be noted that one Dante Bloomer disappeared for three days after the rampage and returned, battered, bruised, and traumatized. The very next day after Dante's reappearance Ace and Sabo bought a journal, and wrote down the first of what would be many rules.
"Rule number one: Luffy is to ALWAYS wear underwear despite it being laundry day." (1)
"I told you that brat was no good." Ace said smugly.
Sabo shut the book with a snap and glared at his brother.
"Shut up."
Omake 2: A feudal fairy tale: The demon lord and his ward. Written for 917brat.
Blue eyes narrowed in derision, a sneer on his aristocratic face.
The minor demon hadn't stood a chance against him.
But it was hardly surprising. As if a lower being could hope to best this Hancock.
With a haughtily snort he wiped the excess blood of his hands.
A rustle from a nearby bush had him immediately tensing.
At least until he picked up the familiar scent.
"Master Hancock!"
Hancock's cold demeanor immediately melted at the exuberant cry, a dewy look overtaking his face. 'That's the 11,723th time she's said my name.'
"Yay! You won!" his 17 year- old ward Luffy, yelled happily." You won! Yatta!" She twirled in delight, her red kimono a glowing blur in the night.
Hancock forced the dewy smile that was fighting its way to his face down with minimal effort and favored the child with a cool ,albeit, fond look.
"I told you to take Salome and leave with Nyon until it was safe." He said emotionlessly , favoring the child with a pointed stare.
"I know." she chirped, a cheeky smile on her face. " But I wanted to see you fight milord! You were so cool . The way you stabbed your hand though his head , and broke his neck and-"
Hancock resisted the urge to sigh, something he been prone do quite a bit in these past seven years, and decided his displeasure was better directed at someone who deserved it.
"Nyon!" he barked, his eyes narrowing at a rapidly shaking bush.
With a small 'epp' the frog demon scrambled from behind the bush and stood at attention before his lord.
"Y-y-y-y-y-yes , Master Hancock?"
Hancock favored his vassal with an icy glare. "What part of 'watch Luffy' do you not understand?" Nyon cringed at the harsh tone and turned his gaze towards the ground.
"But I was watching her, Milord, but she ran off and-"
"Do not blame my Luffy for your incompetence !" Hancock snapped. How dare this little imp ever insinuate that his sweet little ward could ever possibly do anything wrong! "I assigned you a task and I expected you to follow it, but instead she was placed in harms way because of your abysmal watching skill. I expected better of you Nyon." The frog demon felt terror seize his heart as Hancock's eyes narrowed into slits. "Perhaps you do not deserve to be in the service of this Hancock." Nyon mouth dropped in horror.
"But it wasn't Master Nyon fault!" Luffy exclaimed, stopping mid-turn to stare pleadingly at her guardian. " I ran off while his back was turned. Please don't fire him."
"Okay."
Nyon face-faulted. Sometimes he wondered if this was really worth it.
Luffy's eyes lit up. "Really!"
Hancock looked to the side." If you do not wish it." He mumbled, a small blush coloring his cheeks.
"Yosh!" exclaimed the 17 –year-old as she threw her arms around the demon lord in a quick embrace, before breaking into another twirl. " Master Hancock is the best!"
Unnoticed by Luffy, Hancock collapsed in a heap. Slowly, he brought his trembling hands up to grasp his forearms in a self-hug.
"This is the 5,456th time she's hugged me." He said tearfully. "Does this mean, divorce?"
Nyon glared at him. "You were never married!"
(1) Yeah I know what you're thinking. "Why didn't they make the bra thing a rule."Well, Luffy has no problem wearing underwear especially after the events of "Luffy :Age 11" But bra's annoy her to no end. Don't worry. I'm only going to capitalize on it a couple more times.
Yeah so Cabaji was a bit of a creeper( Sorry to the Cabaji fans for that ). He won't be the only one tho.I realize now that I made the Omake too easy to identify. You will have a chance to request your own but right now I already got the next two thought out. Hope you enjoyed this chapter .
Next Time: I finally introduce Sanji! I really don't want to do the Kuro Arc, not because I don't like Usopp, but cause I found it kidda boring.
