Twenty three year old Monkey D Luffy at upon the figurehead of Sunny blinking at the strange green skin coloured woman floating in front of him, he was sure he had seen her somewhere before; in his hand was a dirt in a jar, or that was what he thought it was.
Tilting his head he continued to blinks some more, the strange woman simply glares at him. Those clothes look familiar as well.
"Not you again!" The woman cries out as she held her floating pink hair that was raised above her moving as if it was under water, "How did you find me again?"
"Find you?" Luffy asks titling his head to the other side, "Have me met?"
"Yes we have!" The woman screams out at him, she looked very angry, "You don't remember me?"
"Really, when was that?" Luffy asks with a frown thinking the odd floating woman in front of him was crazy.
"When you was little! Remember you asked for a hat!" The woman hisses out as her eyes narrows at him, "And those strings of fate that would lead you to people with strong dreams! And my clothes!"
"A hat?" Luffy says with a deeper, "Are you a moron, I already have a hat!"
The woman let out a loud moan as she slapped her palm on her forehead, hard, "I know that, it was for your brother! For ACE! Remember yet?!"
"My brother...Ace..." Luffy says sadly as he glances down, '…...how many years has it been now?' He gazes out at the woman with sad eyes and gave her a small smile, this caught her by surprise, "So you knew Ace? Sorry to tell you, he died many years ago..."
The woman sighs loudly and rubbed her temples both sides, she really did not want to deal with this master again. The young boy she meet had grown into a fine man.
"Sorry to hear that, but if you remember the rules," The woman says a little softer now, "I can't bring someone back from the dead."
"Huh?" Luffy blinks at the woman clearly not understanding.
"Anyway maste- I mean Luffy," She says trying to smile could not bring herself to do so, "Did you even use the strings of fate?"
"Strings of what now?" Luffy asks blinking at the woman, he gave her a little laugh.
"So you never used the wish at all?" The woman asks frowning, "Look at your little finger on your left hand, and think back!"
Luffy did as he was asked and bright his left hand up to his face staring hard at the it. Then it happened, strings of many colours was there; looking behind him he stares them disappearing into the ship. For some reason he knew one of his crew members would be on the other end of it.
"Remember now, master?" The woman stressed the last part out.
"Master? OH! Stardust! Master it's you!" Luffy cries out in joy as he grins boldly at her, "Long time no see! How are you?"
'Master' sighs at her master but she was touched by the honesty in his voice, he seemed truly pleased she was here. Which was strange, anyone who tracked her down screamed and shouted at her because their wish did not turn out like they wanted.
"You have three wishes again," 'Master' explain to Luffy as she stares dully at him, "Every time someone finds me, even if they had been before, they can have another three."
"Wishes? Oh yeah, Master makes wishes. Because you're stardust!" Luffy says firmly as he nods his head, "But I don't want any! You can go home if you want to!"
"That's not how it works..." 'Master' replies as she felt a headache coming on, "Look just think of something, you did it last time."
"Like..." Luffy asks staring at her hoping she had some ideas.
"Like..." 'Master' says trying to think of something the man would like, "Oh! That's it! Did you ever become Pirate King?"
"...noo..." Luffy answers as he bows his head in shame, "Eustass Kid got there before me..."
"You can wish for that!" 'Master presses with her tone, "All you have to say is 'I wish', and then it would be done!"
"No." Luffy replies shaking his head, "Kid did it not me..." he let out a big sigh, "But sometimes I wish I could go back in time, to the point before I met Ace and Sabo and do things differently...Huh? Master what's wrong?"
The woman let out a high pitched laugh as she spread her arms open wide, pure white covered the skies and soon Luffy was floating in the whiteness.
"Master!? What's happening?!" Luffy cries out as he floats about, he blinks as things began to blurred with many different colours forcing him to close his eyes. "Master?" He opens his eyes and blinks as he saw that he was floating above a island and Sunny was no where to be found.
"You said it!" 'Master' cries as she claps her hands, she giggles at him, "Nice way of getting around the 'back from the dead' rule I must say!"
"Huh? Master? What's going on here!" Luffy demands as he glares at her, "Take me back to Sunny!"
"But Sunny is not even thought of yet" 'Master' says with a smirk, "Nor are you and your crew. Now return to your former state!"
Suddenly Luffy was falling down and down, he didn't scream he was made of rubber so he would just bounce back. Luffy blinks through the air that caused his eyes to water, he saw a village coming into view then suddenly he went through a roof and then there was a child.
Their eyes met for a slit second.
Luffy blinks as he stares at the wall of a familiar room, his old bedroom, the one from his grandfather's house.
"Where am I?" Luffy asks himself even though he knew the answer, he was surprised by his own voice, "Huh? What happening?!"
"We are back in time," 'Master' replies as with that same smirk, "Just like you wished for!"
"I never wished for this! I was just a little sad that all, everybody wishes for things they don't mean at the time!" Luffy hisses out as he glares hard at the woman, she frowns but truthfully she was fearful of the child's glare. "Sent me back! I wish to be sent back!"
"Sorry!" 'Master' says oddly happy at his tone, "But I can't do that! Any wish you take back with another wish is null. Why do you think many others try to find me again, because unless they find me after they can wish for something else, but due to reasons those wishes can not be undone."
"My crew? What about my crew?" Luffy asks right away.
"Sorry they're not here at this time," 'Master' says laughing a little, "But you can find them again using the strings!"
"No." Luffy says firmly, glaring at the woman.
"No?" 'Master' asks as she floats over to him, and tips up his straw hat.
"I want my crew..." Luffy began closing his eyes thinking of the right words, "I want my crew here with me in this time, the same thing you done to me do to them."
"Huh? Why? You could build a much stronger one if you follow your memory," 'Master' said with a little laugh, "How about that Kid fellow, with him on your side you could be Pirate King!"
"No." Luffy says again just as firmly, his dark eyes narrowed darkly, "I wish for the same. You understand what I mean Master."
"I do." 'Master' says sighing aloud at the man now boy, she closes her eyes and power spilled out of her it lasted a lot longer than when she done it with him but soon she opens them once again and smiles at him, "There done. Your crew is where every their younger selves was at this time."
"Really?" Luffy asks hopefully, just time the woman gave him a true smile.
"Yes, they are here." 'Master smiles, "And you can find them remember, with the spring, don't forget this time."
"Shishishis. I won't!" Luffy answers with a smile as he glances around and then looks down at himself, "Huh? Why am I naked?"
"That just happened?" 'Master' says with a laugh, she held up her jar with it she could made her own changes; it was actually a little bit of revenge on her part from the last time they met.
"Where are my family jewels?" Luffy asks as he holds his stomach and looks between his legs, "...am I a girl?" he asks as he continues to stare, "..."
"Any way I should visit your crew and explain whats happening to them them!" 'Master' says as she laughs and flies through the wall, she stuck her head out staring at him for a moment. "I'll be back for your last wish!"
"..." Luffy had frozen staring down, his whole face had gone completely grey with shock and horror at his discovery. He opens his mouth sucking in air and screams his lungs out.
"Luffy!" Garp voice came, he ran into the room searching for his grandson. "..." He stares down at the boy no girl, "Huh? Luffy how did this happen?"
"Stardust or wait, the woman calls herself a genie!" Luffy cries out as he stares tearful eyed at his grandfather, "What should I do?!"
"What? A genie!" Garp cries out as he grabs his grandson...granddaughter and sat the seven year on the bed, he then wraps the blanket around her, "How many wishes did you make?!"
"Just two." Luffy answers as tears continue to form.
"What did you wish for?" Garp asks with a frown, as he knee down.
"Not this, she said it just happened!" Luffy says as she tightens the blanket around herself, 'I am a twenty three old man in a seven year girl's body!' Luffy knew a girl body when he sees one, while he had no desire for the opposite gender he had seen on before. "My manhood..." Luffy whines out.
Suddenly Garp threw his head back and began laughing while pointing at the girl.
"Grandpa! It's not funny!" Luffy screams out as she tries to stand, her straw hat falls over her eyes and letting one of the blanket with one hand, she pushed it back out. Just as quick as Garp started to laugh he stopped and stare fully at Luffy's chest, he frowns deeply.
"Luffy where did you get that scar?" Garp asks as he points at her chest that was seen from the half fallen blanket.
"Scar?" Luffy asks as she looks down again, on her chest was a large 'x' scar, nothing wrong with that it was always there since- Luffy blinks, 'No that wasn't be there, I'm seven now! Wait have I met Shanks?'
"Another thing with the genie?" Garp questions softy, "Where is the genie now?"
"Don't know!" Luffy answers and stares at the old man, she had black hair on the top of her head but was grey around the sides, "About Shanks, hav-"
"Shanks! Shanks! That redheaded moron who brainwashed you!" Garp says enraged, "I don't care about this matter right now! Tomorrow I'm taking you out of the village and to a place where you're learn about the world! No more non sense about becoming the pirate king! Understand?"
"...but Grandpa..." Luffy says opening and closing her mouth, she was about to tell the old man that Kid was already King, but stopped. She was on the day before she went to Dadan, before she met Ace and three months away from meeting Sabo.
"No buts, off to bed. We need to be up at sunrise we have a lot of hiking to do." Garp said as he stood and walks to the door, "Don't worry about your gender for now, I know someone who knows someone that can fixed that if the genie can't."
'Eva-chan.' Luffy thinks as she settles down under the covers and puts her head on the pillow closing her eyes. 'That's right, I can find Eva-chan."
