"Who is the most beautiful of all on the sea?"

"You, Lady Alvida!" The pirate ship crew yelled out, as they continued the fire on the cruise ship.

"That's right!" Captain Alvida said with a laugh. She looked at the pirate ship and smirked as she leaned against the heavy spiked club.

One of her men smiled "Looks like we are finally going to get some action."

Captain Alvida nodded cruelly "alright men, take it down." When they finally got close enough to through their grappling hooks, Alvida swung her heavy club "Alright men, let's show them the terror of Iron Club Alvida, Lady Pirate of the sea!"

After the men and Alvida had all boarded the cruise ship and began stealing all of the people's belongings a cabin boy, Coby, forced to join went to the kitchen to try and hide from Alvida and her men. However, knowing he wouldn't be able to hide forever he looked around until he saw a large barrel. "What a large barrel, I wonder what is inside it." He side and began to push it out of the kitchen. "Maybe this will keep them off my back for awhile.

"Well looky here, if it isn't our worthless coward. Hiding from the action again, Coby?"

Coby jumped and looked up at the three pirates, "No, no I was just brining this barrel of beer over for you guys."

The biggest of the three lifted it up "We will just lighten that up for you then."

The tallest grinned, "I was just starting to get thirsty."

Coby shook his head and waved his hands around frantically "You can't! If Alvida finds out she will kill us!"

The last one with a tattoo on his face grabbed Coby "She won't know if you don't tell her."

Coby nodded and the biggest one grinned "Now time to open this the old fashioned way. Watch out boys!"

Right before he punched down on the top of the barrel, the top of the barrel shot open and a fist connected with his jaw, sending him flying back unconscious. "I slept so well!" A girl shouted. She stretched and then looked around and saw the man on the floor, "who is that?" She looked in front of her and saw two dumbstruck men looking at her "Who are you? Your friend is going to catch a cold sleeping there." She said as she climbed out of the barrel.

"You're the one who knocked him out!" they yelled. They looked at the girl and then realized she was actually attractive. They looked her over from her worn sandles, her short jean shorts that showed her long legs, to her button down shirt that showed her stomach and cleavage. She had on a straw hat that covered some of her short black hair that framed her big brown eyes. She also had a scare under her left eye, but it only made her more attractive to them. "Are you messing with us because you know we are vicious pirates?"

The thinner guy grinned, "Maybe you like to be roughed up a little?"

However, the girl had started to ignore them and was now giving her attention to the pink haired cabin boy "Got any food? I'm starving."

"Hey! We are talking to you!" The pirates yelled as they lunged with their swords. Coby closed his eyes with fear and when he opened them he saw the girl still standing there with the two pirates cowering beneath her, both swords broken.

"What is wrong with you two?" The girl asked in confusion.

"Who are you?" one of the pirates asked in terror.

"Who me? Why I am Monkey D. Luffyko." She said with a large smile. "Now to get some food." She said licking her lips as she looked around.

"mo..mo…monster!" They yelled, "It's not a girl! It's a monster that tricks men so that it can eat it!" They yelled as they ran away dragging their fallen comrade.

Luffyko frowned "Weird guys, I wouldn't eat them. They would probably be disgusting. Now where is some food…"

Coby looked at her dumbstruck, "You need to get out of here! They will come back with more guys! There are hundreds of them just waiting for a chance to kill someone! They will kill you on the spot, or worse!"

Luffyko just laughed and brushed it off "I don't care about that, I'm hungry." She looked around then headed to the storage area and grinned "Food!"

Coby sighed and looked out to check if anyone was coming "Maybe they didn't say anything, it would be embarrassing to be beat by a girl." He said to himself and then looked at Luffyko and sighed 'especially one that looks like that.'

Luffyko searched around excitedly, until she found some apples, "apples! I love apples!" She cheered as she began to eat all of the apples she could find.

Coby began to walk over to her as she ate a full apple in one bite and then tossed another one in her mouth, "I'm Coby, your Luffyko right? That was pretty neat how you chased those guys away."

Luffyko continued to eat and shrugged "Oh by the way, is this a pirate ship?"

"No this is a passenger ship being raided by pirates. The captain is Lady Alvvida."

"Who cares, what I really care about is if there are any boats on board."

"Well probably a few." Coby answered as he watched the girl continue to devour the apples she could grab.

"Great! Mine got sucked into a whirlpool."

"The one outside! No way! No one could survive that."

Luffyko turned around and laughed, "Ya, I gotta say it was a surprise!" She turned back to her apples and started eating again "So are you one of the pirates?"

Coby frowned and shook his head "I was captured, so now I am forced to work for them in return for my life. "

"Your pretty stupid."

Coby felt his heart being pierced "Thanks for your honesty." He mumbled

Luffyko sat down beside him, finally finished with her meal "why don't you just run away?"

"No way! I'm much to scared to do that, every time I think about it I start to feel sick!"

Luffyko laughed "So your stupid and a coward! I hate people like you!"

Coby felt his heart being pierced again. "If I had the courage to drift alone in a barrel I would be rid of these pirates. I actually have my own dream I'd like to live out. Say Luffyko what made you set sail?"

Luffyko grinned, "Well I'm going to be King of the Pirates!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yep!"

"But that would mean you are a pirate too!" Coby cried out, suddenly nervous about the tiny girl.

"Right."

"Your crew?"

"Don't have one yet, but I'm looking."

Coby stood up and looked down at the girl. "King of the Pirates is the title given to the person who obtains everything that the world has to offer. Wealth, fame, and power, you are going after the legendary treasure the One Piece!"

Luffyko gave him a big smile "Ya!"

"Ya? That's the treasure that all the pirates in the world are seeking!"

"Ya, so?"

Coby shook his head, trying to get his message through to the girl "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! There is no way a girl like you could every reach the pinnacle during this great pirate age! There are too many out there that are meaner and stronger an-" Luffyko cut him short with a hard hit on the head. "Why did you hit me?"

"Cause I felt like it. Besides it's not if I can do it. I'm doing this because I want to do it. I decided long ago that I was going to be the King of the Pirates, so if I die for my dream I die." She paused and touched her hat then grinned, "Well now that my belly is full, it's time to get me a new boat!"

Coby sat there for a bit and thought "Hey Luffyko, you think if I was prepared to die for something like that, do you think I could do that? Do you really think I could join the marines?"

"Marines?"

"All my life all I have ever wanted was to join the Marines and catch the bad guys! I'm going to go become a marine and the first thing I'm going to do is capture Alvida!"

Suddenly the top of the storeroom collapsed "Coby! Who do you plan on catching? Do you really think this twiggy girl can help you? Well?"

Luffyko looked at the woman when swords came through the door and wall behind her, just missing her face. She looked at them uninterested as she looked back at the large woman before her. Alvida smirked when she saw her "You are no monster, or threat. You are just an ugly little girl. Coby who is the most beautiful one in all the sea?"

Coby started stumbling between wanting to fulfill his dream, and wanting to live made it harder for him to answer before Luffyko blurted out, "Hey Coby, Who is that fat lady?"

Alvida glared at the girl and her crew was terrfied "How dare you! Who do you think you are! I'm Iron Club Alvida, Lady Pirate of the Sea!" She yelled as she lifted her massive club and swung it down at the girl.

Luffyko grinned and easily dodged it grabbing Coby "Let's go!"

Coby couldn't help but scream, as the girl jumped up to the deck of the ship. Coby clung to her waist and wasn't until she landed did he open his eyes and realized where his face was. He quickly let go and moved away, his face bright red, until he saw the men glaring at them. "Luffyko get out of here!"

Luffyko just laughed as she charged one guy ducking under his sword as he charged her and then punching him in the face. She turned around and punched another guy in the face as she continued her graceful onslaught. Coby watched in amazement as she picked up a guy with one hand and threw him into four of his comrades, as if he was nothing. Coby couldn't believe it as he watched her unbelievably high jumps, and strong attacks. "Hey it's unfair to gang up on one girl!" Luffyko yelled as she ran away from a pack of guys. As she ran by the mast she grabbed on and kept running. Everyone stopped and watched as the girls arm stretched farther and farther. Luffyko grinned "Gomu Gomu Rocket!" She cried as she let her body rocket back forcing all of the men off the ship.

Coby started at her in wonder, "What are you?"

Luffyko laughed and pulled on her cheeks "I'm a rubber girl!"

Alvida had finally crawled back on deck "You ate a devil fruit didn't you." She accused glaring at the slim rubber girl.

Luffyko nodded "Yep, I ate the rubber fruit."

"You have some fighting skills. Are you a bounty hunter?"

Luffyko shook her head, "Nope, I'm a pirate."

"Just you?"

Luffyko nodded with a smile, "For now, I'm looking for a crew though. I think ten people should be good."

Alvida laughed at the girl "Ten people! Are you crazy?! Well I'll help you out I'll kill you before you make yourself any more of a fool! You give female pirates a bad name!"

Coby watched as Alvida raised her iron club and quickly tried to push Luffyko away "Quickly Luffyko, run! This person is the number one-" He cut himself off from saying she was the number one opponent there. Luffyko would probably be excited about that. He looked at the thin powerful rubber girl and felt his heart beat. He realized then that he actually had a crush on her. He blinked in surprise, forgetting about Alvida. He had a crush on someone, last time he saw a real girl, Alvida didn't count as a real girl, he thought they had cooties.

Alvida started to glare at him. She knew he had forgotten his fear of her, just because of a little crush with the straw-hat girl. "Coby? Number one what?" She asked coldly.

Coby paniked, how could he forget about Alvida at a time like this! She was going to kill Luffyko! Then he realized it, the way to save Luffyko "You're the number one fattest, ugliest pirate on all the seas!" He yelled as Luffyko began to laugh.

Alvida screamed in rage, "You are dead! There is no saving you now!"

Coby screamed in terror and began repeating in his head 'no regrets no regrets no regrets! Luffyko will be safe now, she can get away-' his thoughts stopped as Alvida began to bring down her club and his face got pushed into something soft. He opened his eyes to once again realize where his face was once again.

"Well said Coby!" Luffyko said as the club was brought down on her head. Coby looked up in horror when he saw the club on top of her head, until he saw her smirk. "Doesn't hurt! I'm rubber!" She laughed out as she backhanded the club away. She started laughing and then pulled her arm back and it continued going back for a long distance "Gomu Gomu Pistol!" She cried as she brought her fist back in a powerful punch, sending Alvida flying off her ship. Her crew watched in shock and horror as their captain vanished over the horizon. "Hey, give Coby a boat. He is going to be a marine." Luffyko said.

Coby looked at her with a surprised face, "Really?"
Luffyko smiled and nodded, "Yep!" She then hugged him really tight pressing his face to her chest "Let's go!" She cried looking around trying to find the boats. When the pirates finally told her where the boats were she realized Coby had stopped moving. "Coby?" She picked him up and shook him lightly, "Coby? Hey Coby what happened?"

Coby's head was spinning from lack of air and excitement, "Wha-"

Luffyko breathed a sigh of relief, "Well that's good, I thought you were dead. Well let's go!" She cried as she jumped into the falling boat with Coby clinging to her waist. When they landed she noticed another boat and made eye contact with a red-headed girl. Luffyko stared for a bit then turned away, "Alright Coby let's go!"
