Monkey D Luffy a twenty-eight year old man stuck in a twelve year old girl's body; during the last five years he had carefully hidden this fact from his two brothers, taking septate baths and never changing in front of them, the pirate wanted to meet up with Eva-chan now that 'Master' had returned to her jar never fixing the problem.
Luffy blinks as he stares over the water, sail ships could be seen in the distance; glancing down at her bikini top he looks at his developing chest, she had called up Nami on den dens and asked what to do, Nami sent her a handmade tops which had screwed up strings that could stretch as far as she could, along with bottoms.
Robin explained about women's cycles that happened monthly, Luffy had been not pleased by this news but followed the instructions.
Luffy's final wished had been to bring Thousand Sunny Gou to their new time as well, leaving it with Franky in Water 7.
Zoro saved the life of his friend and rival, yet he still asked for her sword. From what Zoro had told Luffy through den den, he told the girl to raise to his level if she wanted it back.
Sanji was already in the floating restaurant, he had asked the head chef for different routes now and again, visiting Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp's islands. Sanji had been both happy and disgusted by the changed in Luffy.
Usopp's mother was alive and well, after chatting with Chopper over the den den, the doctor told what was needed for a cure. Luffy stolen a lot of money, went to High Town asking for a good doctor who knew how to get what was needed. The medicines needed was costly, but Luffy continued to thief apart from his brother to sent the money which month.
The same for Nami. Luffy kept sending the right amount of money for Nami and her sister to pay off the living cost that Arlong had set, so while the fishman know that there was two children living with the woman, he never had to go and claim anything so never noticed the map making genius that lived there. Nami became just another face in the village.
Robin had travelled into the East Blue, buying Going Merry Gou and docked up where the old man of the coast build his ship; she was very happy living there, Luffy came to see her every day, bringing her whatever she needed or wanted.
Chopper took good care of Doctor, he may not being able to give the man a cure but a long pain free life.
Brook never met up with the Shichibukai, never lost his shadow; Franky meet up with the musician and took him down to the Reverse Mountain, where he was currently living until Luffy set sail.
"Luffy," Robin calls lightly, she was sunbathing on the deck below, "We have guests."
"Huh? Who?" Luffy asks as she turns slightly on Merry's figurehead, staring down at the flowerwoman.
"Your brothers." Robin replies as she turns the pages of her book, she was dressed only in her black and purple bikini.
Luffy grins at that, with a clever plan she had thought up, she saved Sabo from his painful burns. It was strange however, Ace never took lessons so he was growing up in a different way from the first time around. Ace had though, become oddly attached to Luffy. This could have been the same Luffy fussed over the younger Ace, almost in a fatherly way, or motherly depending how one looked in.
"How far have they came?" Luffy asks turning back to the sea, he could hear the sound of Merry's flag on the Crow's Nest flapping in the wind, the Straw Hat skull and crossbones proudly tied there.
"They have seen us, and our ship." Robin answers calmly, then smiling she went on, "And your nakedness. They are too far to hear us, slowly crawling towards the ship as we speak."
"I wearing this thing," Luffy snorts off handedly, he was wearing a red bikini top with black short shorts, it was a hot day and she did not feel wearing clothings, "But this is bad..." she continues with a dull tone, but sounding really worried at the sudden turns of events, "I did not want them to see me like this."
"They will be here soon," Robin says turning another page, which her main eyes never left, "What should we do Captain?"
"See what they do first..." Luffy mumbles as she stares ahead, now using her Observation Will to follow the two fifteen year olds coming their way, "They may just watch first."
"You're right," Robin said with a laugh, "It seems that they have not realized that it is you, they think someone may have stolen your hat. Or though, Sabo-nii has mentioned it could be you, Ace-nii has dismissed this."
Luffy snickers at this, reaching up she held the straw hat closer to her head; it was always funny when Robin addressed them as the names she given them.
Silently the pair waits for the teenages, they crept into the rock mass next to the ship and climb along side the hull. It did not take long before their feet touched the deck. Luffy kept her back to them, playing with the long hair had came over her shoulder.
Luffy had done just as her grandfather asked, now it was in two long long tight braids behind her ears. Robin was the one taking care of it, before she came, it was a mess and knotted together.
Luffy flicks the braid to her back, halting her brothers into their tracks as they recognized the hair.
"Luffy?" Sabo asks no longer keeping silent.
Raising her head she twist her neck fully around, if it had any other person, their neck would have broken.
Blank black eyes stare at them.
"Lu?" Ace asks now, it was almost a beg as he points towards the top, "What is that?"
Grinning Luffy allows her body to follow the head and turns to them, showing them her deforming body. Her womanly shape had started to come through at her sides, her breast had formed into small mounts, the shorts she wore caused her legs to appear longer.
"Ace! Sabo!" Luffy greets bouncing up from her place and tackled the darker hair teen to the floor. Her newly forming breast pressed against his bare flat chest.
Luffy was thrown up so high that she landed on her feet. Blinking to where Ace was laying she turns to her blonde brother in confusion.
Robin was laughing out laugh at this, trying and failing to find it by covering her hand over mouth.
"Luffy..." Sabo says looking at his younger broth- sister up and down, "You're a girl?"
"For now, yep." Luffy answers with a grin.
"Well that explains a lot." Sabo mumbles, thinking back to their childhood and why their adopted mother never allowed Luffy to bathe with them.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'FOR NOW'?" Ace's voice came from a distance, making the two siblings still together, look around for him.
"Captain. The Crow's Nest." Robin offers in amusement, poking upwards.
Luffy and Sabo glanced at each, then raised their chins up, staring to the top of the mast. Ace was leaning over the edge.
"You have good ears Ace!" Sabo shouts back, a smile widening on his lips.
"SHUT IT!" Ace shout down, even from this far they could see his bright red face.
"Ace!" Luffy calls waving her arms above her head, "Come down!"
Ace simply stared for a moment. Then he jumped. He lands with a loud thump when his feet hit the deck, he was in a kneed position. Standing tall the dark hair brother stares at the youngest of their trio.
"What did you mean 'for now'?" Ace says again, he pokes a finger at her chest "You're cleanly a girl."
"Great observation skills." Sabo commented dully, he turns to Luffy, "But I know what he means. Luffy you always mention you want to be 'king', you can only become 'king' if you are a boy."
"But I'll be a boy one day." Luffy grins knowingly to them, causing the pair.
"Luffy..." Sabo mumbles rubbing his eyes, "Never mind," he says taking his hand away, "I shall explain to you on a later date. For now tell us what this is we are standing on."
"It's a ship." Luffy answers staring at Sabo like he was some kind of moron. Robin laughs lightly, making the two boys to glare at her.
"I think the girl part is a little bit more important. And that woman," Ace said frowning towards the blonde, who silence him with a look that read 'not now'.
"Luffy, I know it's a ship." Sabo says kindly, "Where did you get it from, it had your mark."
Ace was the one to look up, staring wide eyed at the Jolly Roger that danced in the wind.
"You were up there and never saw it?" Sabo asks with a smirk.
"I really going to punch your face through the wall." Ace hisses out darkly.
"Try it!" Sabo said but turns back to Luffy instead of continuing on with the other boy. Luffy had been grinning the pair with a grin on her face the whole time.
"Ace and Sabo are funny." Luffy announces while laughing fully, holding her stomach. Getting over the laughing fit suddenly she turns to look at them blankly, "What were we chatting on about?"
"The fact that you are a woman," Robin spoke up smiling, Luffy looks her way and she went on,"And you never told your brothers. And our ship "
"Oh?" Luffy says grinning, then turning back to the teens, "When I grow up, I'll be a man. Don't worry! I have it all worked out. This ship is my, It called Going Merry Gou! Robin is living on here until we go out to sea!"
Ace and Sabo slowly met each other's eyes.
"You're going to go out to sea?" Ace asks frowning deeply, "You know what forget this!" he threw his arms up into the air and marched towards the side then jumped over the railing.
"What's wrong with Ace?" Luffy asks pouting in confusion, he knew this Ace still had a temper, but it had lessen towards Luffy.
"I think Ace is... a little surprise." Sabo tries to explain smiling kindly to the girl, he looks her up and down, "And to be honest, so am I." with that said he began walking towards the side as well, "Luffy this is something we need to get used to, so please forgive us while we do."
Sabo jumps over the railings, following the same path as Ace.
"Mmm..." Robin hums, "That could have gone better."
"They be fine." Luffy replies grinning boldly towards her, "So, do you think it's time we leave?"
"Oh?" Robin says closing her book and sitting up in her seat, she stares at her captain with interest, "What of your brothers?"
"I think they will stay together." Luffy said smiling, "As long as Sabo is with Ace, then is will be well. If not..."
"The Straw Hat is be ready." Robin informs her captain, giving the now girl a expression of complete confidence.
Luffy grins more, then turns and heads towards the figurehead and leaps upon it. Behind she hears Robin moving behind her, and knew that the flowerwoman was preparing to get in contact with the rest of their crew members.
Blank orbs stare over the beautiful water, the light was hitting off it, making it shine like many crystals.
Luffy places a hand on her stomach, feeling her warm skin. Luffy was twelve now, Luffy was a girl now, it was going to be funny when she took her place in the pirate world like this.
