So, I had this idea way back when I saw Luffy using his Gear 3RD at Enies Lobby. Luffy can shrink? Interesting. And I was looking forward to writing something that was original and hadn't been done before. But then I saw One Piece Movie Z.

And I thought, OH!

:(

They stole my idea!

But then they did make the movie, and although it was over all to soon I like the idea of someone in the crew loosing their years or gaining them. So I went back to this, and Actually started writing it. Yay for Nami and Luffy.

Luffy, Always Bounces Back: Shrunken.

Chapter 1

.

.

Somewhere on the Grand Line off the shore of some island, there was a pirate ship. It was basking in the wake its own glory as it rode the choppy waves that came crashing into it. It's Pirate's Jolly Roger flying in the sea breeze whipping back and forth proudly, while all other sails and fabrics had been tied down to protect them from the strong winds.

Now, it was morning in this location, and the crew of the pirate ship were awakening, feeling the need to be filled with a massive breakfast as per usual. It wouldn't come as much as a surprise to anyone reading that these pirates were not really morning people so they didn't really pay attention to one another when waking up. So, it's no little surprise that the guys didn't notice anything unusual when stumbling out of their quarters, because their only thought was to get up on deck and to the kitchen. No one noticed there was something incredibly quire about a certain boy.

.

Luffy woke up. He was used to sleeping on the floor, so when he woke up in a sort of bed hammock thingy he grinned and swung it side to side enjoying the tickly feeling it gave his stomach. That was until he fell out of his hammock. His head flatterned on the floor, with a loud bang, and then sprung back into its natural shape and place above his neck. And this is when Luffy realized he didn't know where he was.

"GA! What the heck! Where am I?" Luffy looked down at his cloths and saw they were far too large for him. He tied himself up as best as he could with a rope he found in the corner to stop his blue pants from falling down, and then started to panic. "My hat!" his stomach rumbled loudly. "My tummy hurts. NEED FOOD." he looked up above him and saw his hat sitting proudly next to his hammock now if he could just reach it. It took him about three arm throws to get it right, and then he pulled it down onto his head.

He grinned, "Now time to eat!" He charged out the door of the room and outside onto a deck. "Ohhhhhh!" Shock hit him as he looked around. "So cool!" He shook with excitement the need of food temporarily forgotten as his sense of adventure took over.

He ran down the stairs onto the grassy lawn, and immediately started rolling on it. "Wow, grass on a ship!" He stretched his hand's palms outwards as if praising the skies. "Best Ship Ever!" The wind whipped away the sound of his voice as he lay on the grassy deck. He then noticed how much fun the mast looked, and decided to climb it.

"Up, and Up, and up. I Go!" Luffy started singing to himself. "Ace is fat and Sabo's Slow!" He almost reached the top when he heard yelling down below.

"Oi! Luffy!" Luffy looked down, a person with blond hair who he had never seen before was calling for him.

"Huh? What a weirdo?" Luffy spoke to himself, and then loosing his firm grip to the mast he fell.

"Luffy you had better hurry up or..." The cook Sanji stopped as heard Luffy falling from his high place on the mast. And ran over to kick him for scaring him. But what he saw only held him steadfastly where he stood.

"What in blazers name...? Luffy!?" The blond-haired chef picked up an eight year old Luffy.

Luffy didn't know who this man was, but he was not going to be called Blazers. "Yeah! Who the Hell are you!?

Sanji snatched the miniature pirate and tucked him under his arm, and ran as quick as he could to the kitchen. "Guys, I think we have a big, or I mean a little problem on our hands." He held up the tiny Luffy and the rest of the crew gasped at what they saw. Their Captain, the one who leads them on this journey, was kicking and screaming for Sanji to let him go struggling to set himself free from the cooks grasp.

"Let go of me BAKA!" He tried to kick him as he wiggled. "Let go! Let Go!" and then in a breath of oxygen his brain registered the presence of food. He stopped kicking, and turned his head in the direction of the smell, and saw a table laden with food with some more funny looking people round it. His mouth began to water and he reached out for the heavenly delights. "KA... GIVE ME FOOD."

Sanji turned him around and looked into his small child's face, "Now, what do you say."

"Sorry I kicked you." Luffy's eyes still looking in the direction of his new love.

"And."

"I love food."

"AND!"

"I need food, give me some, Greedy gob!" At that Sanji kicked him on the back of his head and allowed him to crash into the floor at the other side of the room.

At this, when the small boy had sat up he began to cry. "Your so mean... huuuh!... I'm only hungry. … huuuh!" He started with a small whimper and then began to wail.

"Oh! Sanji! Look what you did! Can't you see his just a little kid!" The girl with long copper coloured hair approached the child on the floor, and picked him up.

"Who are you!" Luffy asked again, it suddenly dawned on him he didn't recognize any of the people here. "Where am I!? Where is Ace!? Where is Sabo!?"

The woman took him in her arms and stroked his back up and down. "Don't worry, it's okay you're safe. It's okay." she stroked his black hair, kissed his forehead, and picked up his hat and put it firmly on his head. She then stood back up and brought him to the table in her arms. "Why don't you sit with me, Luffy, we can have Breakfast together." She sat him down on her lap because he would hardly be able to reach the table by himself.

Luffy looked out hungrily at everything before him. 'all I need to do is stretch and get that.' Nami grabbed his hand before he was able to stretch it. "Now, Luffy what would you like?"

Luffy smiled up at her, he wasn't used to being asked that, "Everything!" he replied with a gleeful cheerfulness that only comes from ignorance.

"We'll give you some of it." she started pulling a few plates closer to him. "Now, I had better introduce you to everyone." She pointed to the chef first, "Over there is Sanji our chef, the man who found you and who cooked you this delicious meal." Luffy didn't understand the threatening glare coming off Sanji he just gave him a smile 'He makes food'. Next she pointed to the swordsman, "and here is Zoro our swordsman, next is archaeologist Robin," she pointed to the dark haired woman, "and here is our musician Brook," and Luffy's eyes bulged as he saw this person didn't have any, "and here our Shipwrite Franky, and this is Usopp..."

"Do not worry my young little lad!" Usopp said in a loud performing voice. "For you are a brave member of the USOPP PIRATES!"

"Wow! Really!" Luffy exclaimed with delight. It was then that he noticed a Reindeer sitting at the table next the sniper guy. "That raccoon dog looks tasty!"

"I'M NOT A RACCOON DOG! I'M A REINDEER! BAKA!" Chopper yelled. "And you can't eat me!"

"It talks!" Luffy yelled with surprise, and leapt across the table to embrace it. "I never met a talking animal before." He grinned at the reindeer. "You have too Join my future Pirate Crew!" at his words everyone round the table dropped from their seats. Their Captain really hadn't changed at all.

"Luffy?" Nami Started.

He gripped his hat firmly onto his head, and glanced at the girl who had been talking to him. "What's your name? And what do you do?" he asked her.

"My name is Nami." She said with a smile. "I'm the navigator for this pirate ship. Welcome!"
