1: Luffy

Luna was dead, and then she wasn't anymore. Small hands pulled (platinum)black locks from (pale)dark blue eyes. Thoughts grew a bit blurry at the edges between Now and Then. Sometimes, it was so hard to stay grounded.

Not that she tried very hard. Flying was so much better, anyway.

She missed Xeno-daddy. This Now's daddy was a dragon, or so Grandpa Garp told her between boisterous laughs and bear hugs. If his black eyes felt sad and blue and pained, she never mentioned it.

"I don't think One Piece is something as mundane as gold."

"Oh?" Shanks intoned, amused.

"I do wonder what it is, though." Determination shone in her eyes. "Ah, then I just have to find it!"

"You want to be the Pirate King?" The man tried to contain a snort.

"No, not really. Say, mister Shanks, do you want to be pirate king?"

"I suppose it wouldn't be that bad."

"Then it's settled! After I find it, you can be king and I'll just continue being Luffy."

"That's not how it works."

"Well, a king can always abdicate, right?"

After that, whenever Shanks thought she wasn't paying attention, he'd look at her contemplatively.

"Mister Shanks, your crown! You already gave me your arm, and that's a lot," Luna hiccupped.

"Consider this my investment. Return this hat after you find One Piece."

"I still think your arm is more important than some treasure at the end of the world."

The pirate smiled warmly, "but an arm for your life is a bargain."
