I have decided to do one letter a day unless I'm feeling really creative or I'm just being lazy you might not get a letter but I'll try to keep my lazyness to a minimum until I'm at least half way thourgh Zoro's alphabet.
Also Luffy and Kidd are OCC in this chapter, letter, thing. I thought I'd make Kidd a little nicer and Luffy less of a spaz for this one.
FOA: I don't own One Piece *sigh*
Robin: It's alright Authoress-san.
FOA: I guess........ But can I at least have some pocky or maybe baccon?
Luffy: You have baccon? Where?!?
FOA: No! I don't have any baccon because my lazy friend couldn't cook food for herself so she stole all of my baccon! You hear or is it read that Fred? It was MY baccon!
Robin: Is your frind's name really Fred?
FOA: No, that's just her nickname.
Different
Monkey D. Luffy was different. He knew and accepted that fact easily now.
But it hadn't always been that way, no. When he was younger in the early years when Shanks had visited, the other children had made it painfully obvious to him that being different wasn't always for the best. Sure he had Ace, Shanks, and Makino back when he was younger but it was the times when they weren't there, the times when the other kids pointed out to him how different, abnormal, and strange he really was. Whispered insults under peoples breathe because of an assortment of things.
"Did you hear? Garp just abandoned him and his brother."
"I know I can understand why he would do that to Luffy, but Ace? I just can't see how those two can be brothers."
"I heard when he was a baby Garp dropped him on his head."
"Well that would explain some things."
His normal childish self had gotten him mocked even before the stuff with Shanks had started but after Shanks had come, after he had eaten the gomu-gomu no mi and gained the ability to stretch, and after Shanks had left him with his straw hat was when the other kids really made a line between him and then. At first before everything they had let him join in on there games once in a while but as time passed and he made friends with Shanks and ate the devil fruit the almost nonexistent line between him and them was solidified forever keeping him away from them.
"What do you want Freak?"
"You can't play with us!"
"You're a monster, beat it!"
Even when he became a pirate he was different, he was more childish then the average person and had gathered together a small but powerful crew of misfits in their own rights; Robin at age eight had became a certified archeologist and had learned in secret to read the outlawed Poneglyphs besides that she had eaten the hana-hana no mi, Chopper was a reindeer who had been cast out of his herd for having eaten the hito-hito no mi and then went on to become a doctor after his adoptive father, Usopp was chased daily in his home town for lying, Zoro was a drifter for a good part of his child hood before he settled at a dojo and trained to beat his best friend, Brook had been alone for the most of fifty years as a skeleton just drifting while playing Bink's Sake, Franky had been raised by the man who had built Gol D. Rogers boat, been run over by the 'Puffing Tom', and had come back as a cyborg, Sanji had been rejected by all until he had met Zeff because of his belief in All Blue, and Nami had worked for Arlong for years to free her village. The Straw-Hats where all different and that's what gave them the ability to see their captain for what he really was, a teenager that acted like a kid that was only trying to keep a promise to his idol.
But yes, Luffy knew he was different and he embraced it now. For if he wasn't then he would have never met his boyfriend Eustass 'Captain' Kidd. So Luffy had accepted being different and was now thankful for it, he had met so many people and had gained such wonderful nakama for it.
"Oi, Luffy you in there?" The red head gently shook his zoned out bouncy 'friend'.
"Shishishi, yeah I'm here Kidd." The straw hat wearer hugged the other captain with a gentle smile on his face. "Yeah, I'm here."
