Mythical Zoan – Hebi Hebi no Mi: Model: Yamata no Orochi

Mythical Zoan – Snake Snake Fruit: Model: Eight Branched Snake

Monkey D. Luffy smiled as he happily helped Makino with her restocking. The young boy was rather strong for his age, but being the grandson of the Marine Hero, Vice Admiral Garp ‘The Fist’, probably had something to do with that. The currently seven year old, black-haired boy was wearing the shirt that said Anchor on it that Shanks and his crew had bought him the last time they’d docked at Fuusha Village. For his help with the restocking Makino had promised to treat him to one of her delicious steak meals for lunch! That was all the motivation that Luffy needed!

“Huh? What’s wrong with this fruit?” Luffy blinked as he saw an odd looking fruit in the crate. The fruit was violet and seemed to have the features and shape of the other pineapples it was shipped with in the crate. Aside from the weird color it had swirls on the body of the fruit. The leaves on top of the fruit were wrong too. This fruit had eight green stem leaves on top with a round triangular shape on each end.

The curious seven-year-old picked up the fruit and looked it over. It was definitely weird. Was it bad? Had it gone rotten? Luffy sniffed the fruit, but it didn’t stink. He squeezed it gently, as Makino had showed him how to test fruits, but it didn’t feel soft like it was rotting inside. Maybe it wasn’t a pineapple at all? Maybe some other fruit had gotten mixed into the crate before it was shipped to Dawn Island and Fuusha Village? Would Makino care if he ate it?

“It’s a mystery fruit.” Luffy nodded to himself as he held it. “I wonder what it tastes like?” Without hesitation Luffy bit into the strange-looking fruit and tore out a large piece. He chewed it and immediately his face screwed up in revulsion. He forced himself to swallow the chewed fruit in his mouth and tossed the rest of the fruit into the garbage can nearby. “NASTY!” Luffy glared at the garbage can that held the remains of the foul-tasting fruit.

“Luffy? Are you alright?” Makino questioned as she poked her head through the doorway of the storage room. The young, green-haired woman had a look of concern on her gentle face. She was wearing her usual work outfit of a long skirt, a button-up shirt, her apron over that, and a kerchief keeping her hair back.

“I’m fine, Makino!” Luffy smiled back at the woman that was something of a big sister to him. “I took a bite of this weird fruit that was mixed in with the pineapples. It tasted bad so I threw it away.”

“Luffy,” Makino giggled fondly as she shook her head. “Don’t be sneaking snacks before lunch.” Luffy just grinned back.

A few hours later and a bored Luffy was sitting around in Party’s Bar with nothing to do. That would quickly change as a ruckus could be heard from outside. It got louder and Luffy could make out some words. When the name ‘Shanks’ was hollered loud enough for the boy to hear he bolted upright with a wide grin on his face. Makino smiled at how excited Luffy instantly became and set about getting the alcohol ready for the Pirates. The Red Hair Crew always visited Party’s Bar when they came to Fuusha Village. Makino had trouble keeping the alcohol stocked when the crew started partying.

“Makino! We’ve returned! A round of drinks for everyone!” Shanks laughed as he and his crew entered the bar. “Anchor! You’re here too!”

“Shanks!” Luffy bounded over to the Pirate Captain with a grin and started asking all sorts of questions about their latest voyage. Shanks could only laugh harder as Luffy asked another question before he could even try to answer the previous one.

“Hey Shanks, take me with you on your next voyage!” Luffy requested with a smile. “I wanna be a Pirate!”

“You’re too young, Luffy.” Shanks shook his head as he refilled his flagon from the bottle beside him. “Wait ten more years and we’ll talk.”

“Ten years?!” Luffy shook his head side to side rapidly. “I wanna be a Pirate now!”

“You know why we call you Anchor, right?” Shanks pointed at the shirt the boy was wearing. “Being unable to swim is a big weakness for a Pirate, Luffy.”

“If I never fall off the ship then I’ll be fine!” Luffy retorted with the logic of a child.

The door to the bar was suddenly kicked open. The merriment died down as everyone turned to look at the scruffy-looking bunch that was entering the bar. They were clearly outlaws of some kind, judging by their scruffy coats and clothes. Makino let out a muffled sigh of exasperation upon seeing the men. The mountain bandits under Higuma were a rough bunch that liked causing trouble. Everyone in Fuusha Village preferred dealing with the Dadan Clan since they usually paid for everything they got from the village. Sure the money they paid with was almost guaranteed to be stolen, but that wasn’t really the villagers’ problem.

“So these are Pirates, huh?” The leader, Higuma, remarked with a derisive snort. “Look pretty stupid if you ask me.” The rest of the bandits snickered as Higuma made his way to the bar. “We’re not here to cause trouble right now. You sell us ten casks of alcohol at a nice discount and we’ll be on our way.”

“I’m sorry,” Makino gave a short bow with a forced smile on her face. “But they’ve already purchased my entire stock.” She motioned to the large crew of Pirates that all had flagons in hand and four tapped casks already.

“Is that so?” Higuma turned his gaze on Shanks who was finishing off his current flagon without a care.

“Sorry about that, friend.” Shanks apologized with a grin after downing the last of his booze. “Looks like we bought the place dry.”

“I’m sure you wouldn’t mind parting with some of it, right friend?” Higuma glared at Shanks heavily, the bandit’s hand resting on his sword.

“Sure, sure,” Shank waved off with a lackadaisical smile. “Roll over five casks for them guys.”

“I said ten casks.” Higuma gripped his sword and unsheathed the first bit of blade.

“You’ll get four.” Shanks replied while also lowering the number. The two engaged in a stare down and Higuma near instantly backed down. The gaze of the Pirate spoke of inner strength, of seeing things that Higuma couldn’t dream of and surviving.

“Fine…” Higuma acquiesced to Shanks’ offer and four casks of booze were rolled over to him and his bandits by the Pirate Crew. With his pride sufficiently wounded, Higuma and his bandits took their booze and left without another word.

“That was awesome!” Luffy exclaimed with sparkles in his eyes.

The exclamation snapped the tense atmosphere and all of the Pirates laughed. The party mood was quickly restored and merriment reined again. Shanks chuckled at Luffy as the boy looked at him as if he was the coolest thing he’d ever seen. Makino ruffled Luffy’s hair fondly before moving to take orders to tables again.

“Liked that, did you?” Shanks chortled as he opened up another bottle and poured himself a drink.

“You scared him off without even throwing a punch!” Luffy still had sparkles in his eyes as he looked at Shanks. “That was so cool!”

“A lot of people like to talk big on the sea, Luffy.” Shanks grinned at the boy. “But quite a few of them aren’t capable of backing it up. When you stare a man in the eye, you can quickly find out if they’re all talk.”

“Pirates are the coolest!” Luffy declared making all of the Pirates in the bar laugh and cheer.

-Several Weeks Later-

“Bored…” Luffy grumbled as he laid his head on the bar top.

“They said they’d be back around this time, Luffy.” Makino reminded the boy as she cleaned a glass behind the bar. “You just have to be patient.”

The door was roughly thrown open and Higuma and his men marched into the bar like they owned it. The bandit sat at the tables and started shouting for drinks. Makino sighed but hurried to start filling orders. The faster the bandits got their fill, the sooner they’d stumble back to their hideout in the forested mountains.

“No Pirates today, huh?” Higuma sneered as he grabbed his booze from Makino roughly. “The place smells better at least.”

Luffy sat alone at the end of the bar watching Makino work. He hated these guys. They were annoying, said nasty things to Makino, and worst of all they terrorized Fuusha Village whenever they thought they could get away with it. Right now he was clenching his small fists as the bandits started bad-mouthing Shanks and his crew. Naturally, Luffy didn’t have a very long fuse when it came to people insulting his friends.

“Shut your mouth!” Luffy roared at Higuma while rushing the bandit. A crash rang out as the boy punched the bandit leader out of his chair.

“Mayor! It’s Luffy! The bandits came back!” Makino yelled to the old mayor of Fuusha Village several minutes later as she ran down the street towards his home.

“What?!” Woopslap started as he stood to his feet so quickly he almost knocked his chair over. “I’m coming! Let’s hope we’re not too late!” The old mayor grabbed his cane and the two of them rushed down the street to try and save Luffy.

“Stupid jerk!” Luffy growled at the bandit leader as his head was stepped on.

“Boy, you’ve really pissed me off, you know that?” Higuma ground his boot against Luffy’s head. Around them the bandits laughed at the boy on the ground.

“Please, release the boy!” Woopslap marched onto the scene with Makino. The old man bowed to the bandits in apology. “We have no intention of fighting you, we’ll even pay you, just let the boy go!”

“Trust the elders to know how the world works.” Higuma chuckled darkly. “But that’s not going to work. This punk sucker-punched me while I was drinking. I’m too pissed off to accept anything but his life as compensation.” The bandit leader drew his sword while his men watched on and the villagers all cried out in shock and fear.

“I wondered why no one came to greet us at the docks.” Shanks spoke up from behind the large group. The Pirate Captain was wearing his normal straw hat, white button-up shirt, brown pants, and sandals. Over the man’s shoulders was a black, long-sleeved coat. “Seems you got yourself into some trouble, Luffy.”

“I’m fine!” Luffy denied as he clawed at Higuma’s boot.

“Where’s that punch you claimed was as strong as a pistol?” Shanks teased the boy who only growled back at him in response.

“Take one more step and you’re dead, pirate.” A bandit held Shanks at gunpoint.

“You willing to risk your life on that?” Shanks looked the bandit in the eyes. “Guns aren’t for threats, they’re for actions. Now that you’ve drawn your gun, are you prepared to risk your life on it?”

“The hell are you talking-” The bandit was cut off by a bang as a bullet passed through his head. Lucky Roo calmly bit off a chunk of meat from the large drumstick he was holding. In the rotund pirate’s other hand was the smoking pistol that had ended the bandit’s life.

“What the hell?!” The other bandits demanded at seeing one of their own die.

“That was dirty!” One of the bandits claimed.

“Dirty?” Benn Beckmann, the First Mate of the Red Hair Pirates, questioned. “Who do you think you’re fighting? Saints?”

“We’re Pirates, there’s no such thing as dirty.” Shanks glared at Higuma. “You can insult me, spit on me, even throw food on me and I’ll just laugh that off. But the minute you threaten a friend of mine you’re going to pay for it!”

“Kill them!” Higuma roared and his bandits rushed towards the pirates with swords drawn.

“I’ll deal with them.” Benn waved at the rest of the crew to stand down. The large, black-haired man flipped his rifle around and held it like a bat. The first bandit that rushed him swung his sword. Benn leaned back, the sword missing by mere centimeters, before grabbing his lit cigarette with his left hand and putting it out in the bandit’s eye.

“Argh!” The bandit went down screaming while clutching his face. Benn kicked him in the head and silenced his screaming. Everyone watched on as the First Mate proceeded to beat every other bandit that came at him into a pulp with his rifle. In less than a minute nearly twenty-five bandits lay on the dirt road beaten, broken, and perhaps dead.

“If you want to fight us,” Benn pointed his rifle at Higuma. “You better bring a battleship.”

“The brat started it!” Higuma yelled at the pirates, his eyes showed his fear.

“That doesn’t matter.” Shanks looked Higuma dead in the eye. “You’re fighting Pirates, we don’t care who started it.”

“Damnit!” Higuma threw four black spheres onto the ground as hard as he could. The balls exploded into a thick, black smokescreen that obscured everyone’s view. When the smoke cleared, Higuma and Luffy were nowhere in sight.

“Shit! He took Luffy with him!” Shanks exclaimed as he and the crew looked in every direction.

“That way!” Benn, Yasopp, Roo, and Shanks all declared at the same time while looking towards the docks.

“Hahaha! They’ll never think to look for a mountain bandit on the sea!” Higuma chuckled as the small dinghy he’d stolen sailed further away from the shore. “You were way more trouble than I’d have ever thought, you little shit!” Higuma kicked Luffy again. “I’m going to throw you overboard and watch you drown. That seems like some penance for you ruining everything.”

“Skreeeee!” A loud, screeching roared exploded from behind Higuma as the eel-like Sea King, known to the locals as ‘The Lord of the Coast’, breached the surface and gazed at the two humans in the small boat.

“What the hell?!” Higuma screamed only to disappear, at least to Luffy’s eyes, as the Sea King snatched him up, nearly biting the bandit in half, and swallowed the dead man whole.

“Uh…” Luffy’s eyes met the Sea King’s as he sat in the little dinghy. The Lord of the Coast lunged forward to snap Luffy up as well. In that instance time seemed to slow down for the boy. He saw the wide open jaws of the beast, saw the large fangs, it was getting closer. “Stop!” Luffy demanded and unbeknownst to him, his eyes turned red and gained a vertical slit pupil.

Shanks could only brace himself as out of nowhere a massive something displaced a large amount of the seawater he was swimming through. He’d been close enough to see the Sea King lunge towards Luffy, he was about to knock the giant eel-like beast unconscious with Conqueror’s Haki. Then this thing appeared out of nowhere and now a large wave was carrying him almost all the way back to shore. When the waves died down enough for Shanks to see again, he could only gape in shock.

All of the villagers and pirates gazed up at the towering monster that was now in the bay. Or at least a small part of it was in the bay, the rest of the long body was on dry land on the opposite side of the bay! It was an immense beast, mind-boggling in its size and terrifying in its looks. It was an eight-headed snake! Each of its heads had burning red eyes, horns flaring out backwards from where head met neck, and jaws full of vicious-looking fangs. Each head had an individual neck that was long enough to put The Lord of the Coast to shame! At most, maybe a tenth of the beast was in the water. The pirates and villagers could see the long body curling around across the bay. The long body could’ve been kilometers long from their best estimates. It even ended in eight tails that flicked to and fro.

“What the hell…?” Woopslap gaped as he craned his neck to look up at the titanic creature.

“It’s eating The Lord of the Coast…” One villager muttered as he pointed upwards.

Indeed, the massive eight-headed and eight-tailed snake was swallowing down the dead Sea King like a noodle. One head was all it took to kill and then eat the eel-like monster. The other seven heads where looking this way and that, as if they were trying to gain their bearings. No one expected what happened next.

“Why am I so high up?” One of the heads spoke!

“Why is everything so small?” A different head asked.

“This Sea King is gross!” The head that had just swallowed The Lord of the Coast complained.

“What just happened?” Another head questioned.

“LUFFY?!” Everyone watching cried out in alarm at realizing Luffy was the massive beast.

“Why’re you guys so small?” One of the heads questioned curiously as all eight of the snake heads looked down at the villagers and pirates.

“We’re not small, Luffy, you just got really big!” Shanks yelled up to the transformed boy. The Pirate Captain was still dripping wet from his swim, but he needed to keep Luffy from freaking out and accidentally destroying the village with his new massive size.

“Shanks?! You’re so tiny!” All eight heads exclaimed in shock.

“You’re just big right now Luffy.” Shanks assured the boy. “Can you pull yourself back onto land and then think about being normal? That should help.”

“Um, I think I can?” Luffy seemed to have trouble figuring out how to move his new form. He wiggled around a bit at first, not really moving in any direction, before he seemed to get the general idea and slithered the portion of his body that was in the bay onto dry land.

“Good job, Luffy!” Shanks praised the boy. All eight heads appeared to smile, or at least a snake-version of a smile, at the praise. “Now just think about being human, being you, you should change back that way.”

“I’ll try.” All eight heads looked as if they were trying to scrunch up their faces and think. After a minute of waiting, Luffy’s massive Full Beast Form started to rapidly shrink down. There was a slight breeze from such a large beast suddenly becoming smaller so quickly, but other than that nothing crazy happened. Luffy, in his normal seven-year-old body, stood before the villagers and pirates looking confused. “Hey, you all aren’t tiny anymore.”

Almost everyone face-faulted at the boy’s words.

-That Night-

“I can’t believe it.” Shanks ran his hand down his face.

“I don’t think we have a choice, Captain.” Lucky Roo shook his head.

Shanks, Benn, Roo, and Yasopp were all sitting around a table in Party’s Bar sharing a strong drink. After getting over the shock of Luffy having a Devil Fruit, somehow, the Red Hair Pirates had done everything they could to assure the villagers that everything was going to be fine. Now, hours later, the four of them were sitting around discussing the issue while Luffy was already asleep in Makino’s care.

“What kind of Zoan is he though?” Benn questioned as he lit his sixth cigarette of the day, his fifth since Luffy’s transformation. “It’s clearly a Mythical Model of the Hebi Hebi no Mi.”

“Yamata no Orochi…” Shanks exhaled heavily before tossing back his shot of hard liquor.

“What?” Roo looked at his Captain funny.

“It’s a Legend from Wano Country in the New World.” Shanks informed his top three nakama. “Oden told it to me when I was a Cabin Boy on the Oro Jackson. It’s a massive eight-headed and eight-tailed snake monster that was so massive it spanned eight valleys and eight hills.”

“Whoa, wait a minute, eight valleys and eight hills? Even just going on averages and low-balling it; that would mean the thing would be almost twelve kilometers long!” Yasopp looked shaken by the sheer size of the Legendary Monster. The gunman quickly tossed back his own shot.

“That’s not even the worst of it.” Shanks shook his head as he poured himself another shot and refilled Yasopp’s as well. “The story Oden told me stated that the Yamata no Orochi ate seven of the eight daughters of two minor Deities. Its’ venom was so potent it could kill Gods, it could breathe fire, and a miasma so toxic it killed everything it touched.”

“Fucking hell…” Roo breathed out as he also downed his shot and pushed his glass over to Shanks for another. “You think Luffy’s Fruit has all of those abilities?”

“We’ve all seen what Marco from Whitebeard’s crew can do with his Mythical Zoan Fruit.” Benn spoke up as he also took a shot. “I wouldn’t put it past the Devil Fruits to match the Legend.”

“Luffy looks like he might already be a few kilometers long in Full Beast Form.” Yasopp rubbed his temples. “We’ve all seen Kaidō’s Dragon Form too. I’d estimate that Kaidō is about five-hundred meters long fully transformed. Luffy already dwarfs that and he’s probably only going to get bigger as he grows up.”

“What do we do about this, Captain?” Benn asked Shanks as the red-haired man knocked back another shot.

“Get me the Transponder Snail,” Shanks exhaled heavily. “I’ll make a call.”

“To who?” Roo asked as he stood up to go get the Snail.

“To Garp, of course, Luffy is his grandson. He needs to know about this and we weren’t planning to stay in the East Blue much longer anyway.” Shanks shook his head with an uneasy look on his face.

The call went about as well as the four of them expected; with a mountain of yelling, cursing, and threats of violence against the Red Hair Pirates and Shanks personally. Garp was already on his way to Dawn Island before the call even finished. Shanks had at least passed on everything they knew about the Legend the Fruit was based on. Garp had taken it all in but still told them he’d bring the whole crew in if he ran across them on his way to Fuusha Village.

On the day of the Red Hair Pirates departure Luffy was holding back tears as he said goodbye to Shanks. Shanks smiled at the boy and decided to try and cheer him up a bit. A smirk made its way onto the Captain’s face before he spoke.

“Come on, Luffy, men aren’t supposed to cry at partings.” Shanks chuckled at the boy. Predictably the black-haired boy wiped his eyes and stared up at Shanks defiantly.

“I’m not crying!” Luffy retorted, even though his eyes were definitely red from tears.

“Sure~” Shanks teased and Luffy swatted at the man. The Captain laughed as he dodged the blows.

“Just you wait, Shanks!” Luffy clenched his fists as he looked up at the man. “When I’m older, I’m going to head out to sea and be a Pirate! I’m going to find Treasures, have Adventures, and my Crew is going to be even better than yours is! I’ll be the King of the Pirates and find the One Piece!” He loudly declared and all of the Pirates stopped to look at the boy.

“Hahaha, you’re gonna be the Pirate King, huh?” Shanks laughed at the young boy. “You’re going to be better than us?”

“I will!” Luffy stomped his foot. “I’ll be the Pirate King, just you wait and see!”

“Well then,” Shanks smiled at Luffy as he pulled his Straw Hat off his head. “Once you make it big as a Pirate, why don’t you return this hat to me then?” The man then placed his prized Straw Hat on Luffy’s head. Hidden under the wide brim of the hat, tears poured down Luffy’s cheeks. “It’s a promise between men, alright Luffy?”

“Yes!” Luffy agreed as his tear-filled eyes locked with Shanks’ eyes. “I’ll return it when I’m the Pirate King! It’s a promise!” Shanks smiled at Luffy and gave him a firm nod.

“A promise it is then.” Shanks agreed and the two parted ways, Shanks walked up the gangplank of his ship and waved as the Red Hair Pirates set sail. Luffy waved until the ship disappeared over the horizon. Makino took him into her arms with a smile as she led him back to the bar. Luffy could stay with her until his sadness passed.

-Later-

“Luffy!” Garp roared as soon as he set foot in Fuusha Village. The Vice Admiral’s voice carried far and wide and could be heard from anywhere in the Village. Luffy and Makino walked out of Party’s Bar to meet the old Marine.

“Grandpa.” Luffy greeted with a nonchalant grin.

“Luffy! What have you done to yourself? Eating a Devil Fruit? You can never swim now, you know that right?” Garp questioned his grandson.

“I’ll just be a Pirate that never falls off the ship.” Luffy shrugged.

“PIRATE?!” Garp bellowed at the seven-year-old. “No grandson of mine is going to become a criminal! You’re going to be a Marine and like it!” Garp pointed at Luffy with a stern glare.

“I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!” Luffy yelled back and Garp felt a vein start pulsing on his forehead.

“Like hell you are!” Garp and Luffy continued to bicker, much to Makino’s exasperation with the two, as Garp picked Luffy up by the scruff of his neck and carried him off.

A few hours later and Luffy was dropped onto the sand of a mostly barren island just off the coast of Dawn Island. Looking around at the mostly rocky island, Luffy blinked before turning to face his grandpa. The old man nodded as he looked at the lack of people or structures on the island.

“Why are we here grandpa?” Luffy questioned curiously.

“To train your Devil Fruit.” Garp answered quickly. “We can’t change the fact that you have these powers, but we can teach you how to control them and use them. From the Legend that your Fruit is based on I know the general gist of your powers. Unfortunately, that means we’ll have to do most of our training here so you don’t accidentally kill anybody when you transform.”

“I wouldn’t do that!” Luffy denied vehemently, shaking his head side to side.

“You wouldn’t mean to, but it’s a simple fact that your Devil Fruit is incredibly dangerous.” Garp informed his grandson. “Your Full Transformation is so large that you’d crush any ship you were on, kill everyone sailing with you, and then drown in the ocean. Do you want that?”

“No!” Luffy shouted back, his dark eyes wide at the thought.

“Then listen to me for once and learn to control it!” Garp looked Luffy dead in the eye until the boy nodded. “Good! Now, to start we’ll get you used to transitioning between forms. After you have a handle on that, then we’ll work on the abilities your Mythical Zoan Fruit has. You’re going to focus on partial transformations so that you don’t accidentally kill anyone. Mythical Zoans are odd in that regard compared to normal Zoan Devil Fruits. There’s always some part of the powers and abilities that the User can manifest, even when they don’t transform. Like that damn Phoenix brat.” He muttered out the last part, thinking of Marco the Phoenix from Whitebeard’s Crew.

From that day on, Luffy was put through hellish training by Garp. He was made to strengthen his body while also learning to fully control his Devil Fruit. Anytime Garp had to attend to his Marine duties, Luffy was left in the care of Curly Dadan and her bandit gang. It was here that Luffy met Ace and eventually Sabo, the two that would become his sworn brothers. The three would go on to collect a large hoard of treasures to become Pirates when they grew up.

Sabo and Ace left Dawn Island when they turned seventeen. Ace would go on to become an infamous Pirate. Sabo seemingly disappeared until both of his brothers received mail from him. Sabo had joined up with the Revolutionary Army shortly after he’d left Dawn Island. This was probably always the blonde’s intention ever since the burning of Grey Terminal by the Nobles of the Goa Kingdom.

-Present Day ~ Enies Lobby-

Luffy stood atop the tower over-looking the massive chasm that separated the Tower of Justice from the rest of Enies Lobby. He’d launched himself off the Rocketman Sea Train when they’d still been a good way off from the island. His crew had their orders though. Wait until he’d gotten Robin back and then they’d sail back to Water Seven. Luffy was rarely as angry as he was right now, but after Robin was kidnapped by these CP9 guys he’d been enraged. Then the Franky Family had come along claiming that the covert World Government operatives had kidnapped their ‘Big Bro’ and taken him off to Enies Lobby too. That was why the whole of the Franky Family, including their large King Yagara Bulls, Sodom and Gomorrah.

‘There!’ Luffy finally saw Robin in one of the windows near the top of the tower. With a partial transformation, only for a brief instant, one of his tails formed and rocketed him over the length of the chasm. He reversed the transformation and slammed through the window in a shower of glass.

“Luffy!” Robin’s eyes widened and he saw the joy in them. He graced her with a warm smile before his face became a rictus of cold fury as he gazed upon her kidnappers.

“How did you get here?!” Spandam questioned in shock and fear.

Luffy didn’t answer, he was already moving. Robin was picked up and held in one arm gently. Franky was grabbed and held like luggage in one Luffy’s left hand. The ship dismantler was vocal in his displeasure at being handled like an object. The pigeon bastard, as Luffy thought of him, made to attack him and blurred forward. Luffy simply repeated his partial transformation and launched himself back across the chasm, while also destroying the room that they were just in.

“Luffy.” Robin laid her head on his shoulder with a smile on her face. She made sure to keep the Seastone cuffs on her wrists away from his body. “I warned them that you’d come.”

“Then they shouldn’t have any complaints about what I’m going to do next.” Luffy had a damn near evil look on his face. “Stay on top, both of you, I promised your friends I’d bring you back too Franky.”

“What? Why’re you helping me?” Franky questioned the straw-hatted young man.

“Later, they’re coming.” Luffy replied and sure enough the entirety of the CP9 was using their techniques to dash across the air towards them from the Tower of Justice.

“I believe this will actually be the first time any of us have seen you go all out, Luffy.” Robin smiled at her Captain and Lover.

“Yeah, I’m really angry right now.” Luffy hissed out as his eyes turned red and slitted.

“What the hell?!” Fukurou of the CP9 exclaimed as the three criminals were suddenly replaced by the massive form of a monster.

The said monster continued to grow and grow, larger and larger, longer and longer. One head on a long neck, then two, then four, and finally eight! The gate that Luffy had been standing on collapsed under the ever-increasing weight of his Full Beast Form. His serpentine body lengthened and smashed through a chunk of Enies Lobby to the screams of the Marines and Government workers that were there. His tail split into eight lengthy appendages which he swung through the island, scattering buildings like a child scattered their blocks. When the transformation was finished the CP9 agents stood before a twelve kilometer long, eight-head, and eight-tailed Beast of Legend.

“Shhhrrrraaaaarrrrggghhhhh!” Luffy’s eight heads let out a roaring hiss that shook the air. Without wasting a second seven of the heads opened their jaws and unleashed a thick purple miasma at the flying agents. It was such a massive and widespread attack that only four of the nine escaped it. The entirety of the Tower of Justice was covered and filled with the toxic cloud. Every single person within the tower was dead in a matter of seconds.

“Oh my, Luffy had told us about his form, but to see it firsthand is something else entirely.” Robin mused from her and Franky’s position atop the head that wasn’t exhaling the instant death miasma.

“What the hell is this guy?!” Franky yelled as he realized how high up they were and glanced backwards to see the massive snake body that was wrecking all of Enies Lobby just by moving slightly!

“How the hell do we fight this thing?” Blueno asked his surviving CP9 agents. Of the original number only Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra had been fast enough to escape the toxic cloud. Blueno wouldn’t have made it without his Devil Fruit ability.

“Can we even fight this thing?” Kaku corrected as they watched the eight heads of the giant snake monster move about. Eight heads were looking in every direction to spot them. The monster had no real blind spots to exploit.

“The Tower of Justice is lost and so is a large chunk of the island.” Jabra’s eyes were wide as he took in the devastation that had already been wrought on Enies Lobby.

“He’s doing something.” Lucci narrowed his eyes as seven of the heads reared back before facing in different directions.

“Oh shit!” Kaku couldn’t stop the exclamation as each of the heads unleashed a massive torrent of flames onto the island. The entirety of the inner island of Enies Lobby, the island that hung over the vast hole in the ocean, was set ablaze all at once.

“Shhhrrrraaaaarrrrggghhhhh!” Luffy roared again as his massive form turned to face the Main Island Gate. Just the movement of his massive body flattened the burning buildings or tossed the burning rubble into the air at speed. The screams that rose up could barely be heard over the roaring flames.

“There,” Lucci pointed at the one head that had remained stationary throughout the attacks. “Nico Robin and Cutty Flam are on top of that head.”

“So what?” Jabra questioned Lucci as if he was stupid. “You think we can get there fast enough to not be noticed by one of the heads? I don’t know about you, but I’m not eager to test my luck at dodging that miasma or the giant flames at close range!”

“We will see Justice carried out.” Lucci stared Jabra down. The two often didn’t see eye to eye and this would be another case of that.

“I can get us close with my Air Door.” Blueno mentioned with a sharp nod. “We can emerge right on top of Nico Robin and Cutty Flam, grab them both, and drag them inside before we’re noticed.”

“Alright, so we have a plan.” Kaku nodded even as Jabra looked between the three of them with wide eyes.

“Are you three stupid?” Jabra demanded of them. “That thing has already decimated a large portion of Enies Lobby in less than three minutes! The island is lost! We should report what we’ve seen to the higher-ups and let them give us our next orders!”

“Are you disobeying an order, Jabra?” Lucci questioned as his form began to bulk up.

“I’m following Standard Protocol; you three are the ones going off on your own.” Jabra growled back as his form began to bulk up as well.

“We don’t have time for this!” Kaku played the mediator to prevent a pointless fight from breaking out. “We need to decide if we’re doing this or not.”

-Main Island Gate-

“Oimo, Kashii, stop that thing!” One of the Guard Captains demanded as the eight-headed snake approached the Gate.

The two Giants looked at each other and then back up at the massive beast.

“It’s like Jörmungandr from the legends.” Oimo claimed as both giants craned their necks to see the beast’s multiple heads moving this way and that way, occasionally spewing the thick miasma or another torrent of flames into the already destroyed Enies Lobby.

“Jörmungandr didn’t have eight heads.” Kashii shook his head as the snake got closer to the Main Island Gate. “I never expected we’d die while doing this Gate Guard job to free the Captains.”

“We can’t just run and leave them to rot in prison.” Oimo denied as they both readied their weapons. “It was an honor fighting beside you, Kashii.”

“The honor was mine, Oimo.” Kashii chuckled as they felt the ground shake from the movement of the great serpent.

“What’s it doing?” Oimo questioned as they watched the snake stop and seven of its heads whip around to face the stationary eighth head.

-Above Luffy-

“Air Door.” Blueno intoned as the air rippled and took on a vaguely oval shape just slightly above the head height of the sitting Robin and Franky. Lucci and Kaku were ready to reach out and grab their targets the second the Air Door opened. Jabra was behind them; the reluctant agent was only there to help restrain Cutty Flam and had made his objections known to this spontaneous operation.

All four had made a very simple, if dangerous, mistake with their plan. The Yamata no Orochi was a God-fighting, Deity-devouring, Mythological viper. It had pit organs that let it detect changes in heat. The Air Door was like a bright blue spot in a myriad of reds, oranges, and yellows to said pit organs. This was simply due to the fact that when Blueno had formed the Air Door, it had been in an area that wasn’t on fire. The air he’d brought with him through his Devil Fruit power was much cooler than the air surrounding Luffy from the flames that were burning Enies Lobby.

Blueno opened the Air Door, Lucci and Kaku lunged forward, they were met with the inside of one of Luffy’s striking jaws. The miasma in the maw of the serpent filled the pocket dimension of the Air Door near instantly. The four agents were dead before they realized anything had gone wrong. The striking speed of a Legendary Snake Monster wasn’t something they’d planned for. The head that was filled with four dead agents and miasma whipped around and spat the contents into the flaming wreck of Enies Lobby. For good measure, five more heads blasted the area they’d landed in with massive torrents of fire.

“For the Giant Warrior Pirates!” Oimo and Kashii roared as they leapt towards the massive serpent with their weapons raised. The two swung with all their might and landed blows against the scales of the beast. Kashii’s axe shattered and Oimo’s club bounced off the scales. The two Giant Warriors stared at their useless weapons even as one of the massive heads came at them.

“Did you say Giant Warrior Pirates?” The massive snake head questioned, it’s burning red eyes nearly paralyzing the Giants with its gaze. “Like Dorry and Broggy?”

“Y-You know our Captains?” Kashii blinked at the monster.

“How?” Oimo questioned the great beast.

“They’re having their Divine Duel on Little Garden. We met them on our journey through the Grand Line.” The snake head hissed back at them.

“Our Captains aren’t in prison?” Oimo questioned a look of anger taking over his face.

“No, they’re on Little Garden, I just said that.” The snake head hissed back, even with a confused look on its face it was still terrifying.

“You bastards lied to us?!” Kashii roared as the two Giants turned to face the cowering Marines and World Government agents.

“Run!” One of the Marines yelled as they all began to flee from the massive snake monster and the two pissed Giants. The Main Island Gate was smashed apart into rubble without issue.

“One more thing,” Luffy spoke with the head that Robin and Franky were sitting on. With a fierce swing of his eight tails the Tower of Justice was rubble falling into the massive hole in the ocean. As Luffy made his way onto the part of the island that wasn’t hanging over the void he slammed his eight tails into the small land bridge that supported the main island. The rock gave way to the sheer force and the whole of Enies Lobby, barring the small patch that sat outside of the Waterfall Ring, fell into the deep never to be seen again. “Now I’m done.”

“We’re not!” Kashii and Oimo raged as they stomped and bludgeoned their way through the Marines and Government agents that hadn’t been able to get on one of the ships to escape.

When the destruction stopped, the Rocketman slowly puffed its way into Day Station under the sixteen eyes of Luffy’s Full Beast Form. Lowering the head that Robin and Franky were on to let them down both people were swarmed by their respective families.

“Robin!” Nami cried out as she wrapped her arms around the older woman. This was followed by two more women, a bluenette and a pinkette also wrapping their arms around the Archaeologist.

“We’re glad you’re back, Robin.” Reiju whispered into the ravenette’s ear.

“I was so worried.” Vivi mumbled into Robin’s shoulder.

“ROBIN!” Chopper hugged the woman’s leg while bawling his eyes out. The Reindeer Doctor had felt responsible for her kidnapping as she’d been taken while they’d been visiting shops in Water Seven together.

The massive form of the eight-headed snake began to shrink down as Luffy returned to his regular form. Oimo and Kashii watched on with stunned faces as the behemoth of a snake turned into a regular man again. Luffy was approached by Zoro who tossed him a bottle of Sake. Ever since Luffy had first tasted Sake when he’d become sworn brothers with Ace and Sabo, he’d had a liking for it. It was something he blamed on his Devil Fruit. But he and Zoro drank together and compared Sake brands fairly often. Luffy popped the bottle open and drained it in one long pull.

“Let me get these off you, Robin.” Nami smiled as she pulled out her lock-picking kit and started working on the Seastone cuffs that were on Robin’s wrists.

“Thank you, Nami.” Robin smiled at the orangette. She was very tempted to kiss the younger woman, along with Reiju and Vivi, but held herself back. There would be time tonight for such celebrations. Robin looked over at their Lover and couldn’t help but wonder if he’d stop at eight women. Luffy had a rather strong desire for beautiful women, while still being picky about choosing. Being under the aegis of the strongest Rookie Pirate of the Age had been wonderful. After his defeat of Crocodile, Robin had joined Luffy’s Crew without hesitation. Luffy’s immense Bounty spoke for itself and she was quite certain that after wiping Enies Lobby from existence his Bounty would only increase.

“Zoro, we’re helping these Giants get back to Water Seven so they can get home or something.” Luffy pointed over his shoulder at Oimo and Kashii. “Help me make a raft for the King Bulls to pull behind them.”

“Sure thing, Captain.” Zoro shrugged as he drew one of the swords from his hip. The sword in question had originally been a double-edged, straight blade when Zoro had gotten it from Luffy. It had changed form to suit Zoro, a user of katana, when it had come into his possession.

The sword was named Kusanagi, Luffy had insisted on it, but even the Captain didn’t know why. It had appeared from one of his tails when he’d fully transformed one last time before he’d left Dawn Island. He’d carried it with him planning to give it to whatever swordsman he recruited. Zoro had taken to the blade quickly and discovered it could manipulate the wind into far-reaching cutting blades. It had been on Zoro’s hip ever since and made a good addition to Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu. Even Dracule Mihawk had praise the blade when he’d seen it.

“This should be enough trees, right?” Zoro guessed as he stood in front of a large stand of palm trees that covered one half of the small scrap of island that was left after Luffy’s rampage. The verdette swordsman felt the wind wrap around Kusanagi’s blade and swung the sword horizontally. An arc of wind passed through the stand of trees without slowing down. Zoro sheathed Kusanagi and the click of the sword seemed like a trigger as all of the trees toppled over at once.

-Water Seven ~ That Night-

The party was in full swing and everyone was getting stuffed full of food and booze. Luffy had eaten enough meat and drank enough Sake that he should have been dead, but the Pirate Captain was still going strong. Laughter was in the air and Robin was surrounded be her Lovers/Sisters as they enjoyed themselves. A stray hand here and there had gotten frisky and Robin only smiled as she returned the favor with her Devil Fruit powers. The four women were all a little buzzed; although Reiju’s enhanced constitution would soon see her completely sober again.

“Luffy~” Robin purred out and Luffy’s head immediately snapped over to her. The two locked eyes and the desire in Robin’s gaze was clear. Luffy’s own eyes quickly matched hers and he cleared the distance between his Lovers in an instant.

“Robin, Nami, Reiju, Vivi…” Luffy rumbled low in his throat. The four women quickly led Luffy away from the party and back to the large room that Iceberg had lent them on the Galley-La property. It was time to celebrate Robin’s safe rescue.

-Two Days Later ~ Morning-

“Straw Hat!” Zombai, one of the Franky Family charged into the courtyard of Enies Lobby. “You gotta see this!”

“What?” Luffy poked his head out of the opened window to see what the man was yelling about.

“Have you seen today’s paper? There’s a huge story about what you did at Enies Lobby! They’ve raised your Bounty too!”

“Huh, let me see.” Luffy took the newspaper and looked at the headline.

Enies Lobby Destroyed! Infamous Pirate ‘Straw Hat’ Luffy destroys the Judicial Island! Could this be the emergence of a Fifth Emperor?

“Shishishishi!” Luffy chuckled at the headline. “Emperor, huh? I think I like that!”

“Mmm~ I’d say you’ve more than earned it.” Robin smiled as she pressed herself against his back and kissed his neck.

“Wow~” Nami whistled as she pulled the newspaper from Luffy’s hand and started reading. “Part of an Emperor’s Crew, we’re moving up in the world, huh?” The orangette giggled.

“You said they raised my Bounty?” Luffy looked at Zombai who shakily handed over the Wanted Poster.

“Damn, they tripled it.” Reiju chuckled as she looked over Luffy’s shoulder since Nami had moved over to read the rest of the article.

“Dead or Alive! ‘Straw Hat’ Monkey D. Luffy! With a Bounty of One-Billion-Eight-Hundred-Million!” Luffy had a wide smile on his face. This would surely cause some waves. He wondered what Ace and Sabo would think. Shanks would probably be laughing about it. Grandpa was probably blowing a gasket right now.

“Well, we can’t really do anything until the new ship is finished.” Vivi shook her head gently as she read over Nami’s shoulder. “If they’re going to start considering you an Emperor, we shouldn’t have to worry about Marine attacks as much anymore. Even the Marines don’t go after the Emperors without a lot of planning and a ridiculous amount of force.”

“Straw Hat, could you do us a favor?” Zombai asked as he pulled out a second Wanted Poster. “Could you please take Big Bro with you?” On the Wanted Poster was a picture of Franky and a Bounty of Forty-Four-Million Beri!

“Eh?” Luffy blinked at the sudden request.

And that’s a wrap! I hope you all enjoyed the second of the One Piece Bunnies! The Yamata no Orochi was horribly shafted by who got the Fruit in Canon! It’s an ancient legend with amazing powers and sheer size and what we get is some cowardly weirdo that doesn’t even seem to know how to use it properly? Why?!

I hope you like this change to Canon! Luffy has quite a few lovely ladies on his crew! Robin’s pretty sure he’s going for four more too! Maybe a pair of princesses would be good? A certain Warlord too! Oh, and of course the daughter of a rival Emperor! *Perverted Giggling*

Let me know what you thought with a review!

Until next time, later!
