Prologue: The Big Question.

Little feet pat across the wooden stage with the sound of chains rattling. Terrified glazed eyes stare at the dark audience, wondering who all these people are. Standing center stage he feels chills creep over his skin as they look back, instinctually fearing the crowd. Quickly hides behind a stranger holding his chains leg, peeking slightly.

"Now for our next merchandise is number seventeen. A young boy all the way from the east blue, a shy one at that." A voice calls out to his side. Suddenly the leg moves away instead forceful nudges the boy further forward of the stage. "You may ask why you want a young thing? Well this a special slave, as he is the blood relative of the Marine hero, Garp the fist." Gasps and whispers spread across the room. "Yes, this wonderful boy here is none other than the mans grandson, Monkey D. Luffy."

The auctioneer continues to brag about the boy and how useful he can be as he walks up to the tiny boy and unlocking the collar around his neck. "Not only that, he's extremely durable as he's eaten one of the devil fruits, making him into a rubber man," the man exclaims. Pinching and pulling one of the boys cheeks to demonstrate his point before it snapping back. Clamping the metal back on, he returns to his podium.

"An amazing specimen and of course the slave is in perfect condition, yet to be touched. Now we'll be starting the bidding at 50,000 beri's?" Continuously hands raise with shouts, the number growing higher.

"500,000 beri's!" A deep voice yells, silencing the whole room.

Luffy body trembled as he peered through the audience, at the bidder. Standing out from the rest in his white space suit and large cane raised above him. The holy demon claiming the boy.

Fear is what filled Luffy as he sat on the lit stage, his eyes dry and puffy from crying previously. Multiple questions scattered his brain but one screamed out from the rest.

'What's a Luffy?'

AN: Hey guys! I know it's short but really I think that how I'm going to do this story so it's little an often, hopefully. Anyway after reading so much fan fiction I got interested in Luffy being a slave and came across so many amazing fanfics. Though sadly some has stopped updating. So I've had short story in my head for a while now and thought I should just write and see how it ends. (I'm not telling the idea as it will spoil the next chapters, but have a guess.)

Hope you enjoy it.
