I noticed while surfing FF that Bonney and Luffy were a rare pairing, so I decided to take on the challenge of writing what would happen if she was his first crewmate. And who knows, some of the other supernovas might make it in as surprise crewmates as well. Unfortunately, Robin won't be a part of the crew because Bonney already has wanted by the WG covered. Anyways, this was my first story and I just wanted to try a hand at this, so give me your feedback.

Chapter 1: Unexpected King of the Pirates?

It was a beautiful day out in the East Blue, birds were flying along, the weather was nice and the water was beautiful. All standards were met for a wonderful day for everyone, except Jewelry Bonney.

Growl. "Shut up, I know." The new rookie was in the worst predicament of her life, all the food on her tiny boat – ship – she corrected, had run out.

"Dammit, I really should've brought another 6 months' worth of food with me." She muttered, laying against the side of her boat and looking out into the horizon. Bonney's sulking was interrupted by a crate that floated it's way next to her boat.

She blinked. "Must've been cargo from one poor bastard caught in that whirlpool." Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Bonney grinned and reached over to grab it. She wasted no time and almost tore it apart.

She stared at it's contents. Sake. Not food. But sake. Bonney silently threw the now useless box back into the water before going back to her sulking. "What did I do to deserve this?! I just wanted a pizza… Or three… Actually, maybe four." But she had no time to keep count of how much food she wanted before she noticed a ship on the horizon coming towards her. Huh. A savior at last. Grinning to herself, she started to put her plan into action.

"I hope everything is in order for my trip, Petty Officer."

The officer bit her lip in response, feeling the emphasis on the word 'Petty', before forcing a smile and replying, "Please don't worry yourself, we will do our best to adequately serve you."

There was a knock on the door to the cabin they were in, and a flippant gesture from the other party for her to get out to get it.

Moving to the door, she opened it and was greeted by a saluting marine in her face. "Officer Tashigi, do you know where Captain Smoker is? There's a child who looks to be unconscious on a small boat and we need help deciding whether or not to take her in."

Tashigi blinks at the onslaught of information before nodding and giving her reply, "I'll give him this information, thank you." The marine saluted again before going back to his duty.

It was a small walk over to the bow of the ship where she found the aptly named Captain Smoker, smoking while looking out to the horizon. She approached him and cleared her throat, "Captain, we found a small girl on a boat that looks to be adrift."

The captain appears to give it little thought before saying, "I'm sure that damn Celestial Dragon won't like this, but we can't leave this girl. Bring her up!"

Back on Bonney's boat, she feels it being pulled up by the much larger ship. 'Jackpot.', she thought to herself. All she had to do was just use her devil fruit to turn her appearance into a small child and they'd all eat it up, she grinned to herself, 'I'm a hell of a genius.'

When the boat got close enough to the railing, Tashigi grabbed the small girl and dragged her onto the ship. She then splashed some water on Bonney's face to wake her up, causing her to spring up while sputtering. "Sorry about that, I just didn't know how to wake you up." Tashigi smiled sheepishly.

Bonney bit back a scathing reply and settled for smiling, "Oh, it's alright. I was just surprised, but um… Where are w-…" Bonney was halted in the middle of her speech as she saw a scene she would've never imagined seeing.

A human was walking on all four of his limbs, with a collar around his neck while another person was riding on their back. She realized that she was looking at an actual human slave, Bonney slowly took in the appearance of the heartless bastard enslaving the human.

The man was wearing a full-body, thick white suit with a bubble coming out of it surrounding his head. She's brought out of taking in his appearance when he speaks, "What's this commotion? And who's this?"

Bonney, not quite sure she was able to form a reply to him, was saved by Tashigi answering in her stead, "We found her unconscious on this boat and we decided to bring her up."

"I see, I see… Well, I want her as my slave!" He exclaimed, looking at her with a depraved grin. Bonney froze, with only one word lingering in her mind: Slave. Slave. Slave.

She would be subjected to the horrors that the person beneath him was facing, she would be forced to do whatever he asked of her and worst of all, it's possible she would never be able to escape.

A million thoughts racing through her head, she almost missed his command for the marines to grab her. Acting quickly, she slapped both of them with her hands. The two marines stared at her as they thought she was becoming larger, "Is it just me or is she getting bigger?" While the other marines stared on as the two men standing before them, had turned back into small boys.

Tashigi, who now had went to stand next to Smoker, was confused as to what happened until she heard him ask Bonney, "You're a Devil Fruit user, aren't you?", Bonney wasted no time to reply as she surveyed her situation.

She looked towards her boat, only to see a sea of marines standing between her and the only savior she had in this situation. So, she did the only thing she could do and ran to the opposite side to see if there was something she could do there. Bonney surveyed the sea with her eyes and found the only thing that would save her from this situation: A lone barrel drifting along the sea.

The only downside? If she missed the barrel, she'd drown to death. Though, to her right now, death seemed a lot better than slavery. She took a deep breath and resigned herself to her fate. Seconds later, she jumped and the only thing she could remember after was the wind being knocked out of her as her stomach made contact with the barrel.

Smoker stared at the drifting barrel, sighing in relief as the girl got away before looking back at the Celestial Dragon. 'Tch, I don't like being a lap dog to them but it's still too early for me to change anything.'

The Celestial Dragon in question was seething in anger as he barked, "I want an only alive wanted poster of her. No one escapes from me!"

"B-But we don't even have a picture of her…" One of the previously shrunken marines, who now regained their full sizes, timidly remarked. He fell down in pain as a shot rang out from the Celestial Dragon's pistol. "Well, yoo'll just have to fix that."

Tashigi ran to the marine's side and looked at his wound, she looked over to Smoker who nodded for her to take him. Tashigi motioned for two other marines to come help her carry the wounded marine.

Bonney opened her eyes slowly and found herself staring at stars. Huh. It was night already? She turned her head to the side and saw sand as well as that barrel she escaped on. "Looks like I was lucky and this barrel hit an island, well, stranded is way damn better than dead or enslaved." Bonney mused.

Her attention was brought back to the barrel when she saw it shaking. She blinked, confused if this was real or if she was just hallucinating. It shook again, and now something was pounding inside it. Moments later, the box was nearly shattered as a boy popped out of the box. "Shishishi, I slept great!" was the only exclamation she heard from him, and she couldn't understand how that would bring him into the barrel.

Though what she could do was take in his appearance, from the back all she could see was that he had raven hair and was wearing a red sleeveless vest and shorts. But the most unique thing in his appearance was the straw hat that was resting on his head. Bonney mused that he looked like a fighter, given the scar under his eye… Wait a minute, when did he turn around and start looking at her?

"Why are you laying down like that on the beach and staring at me? You're weird!" Bonney's eye twitched at his remark and barked out a reply before she could stop herself, "You're calling me weird after bursting out of a barrel?!"

"Oh, good point." He laughed and then continued, "So, weird lady, what're you doin' laying down like that on the beach?"

Bonney twitched again. "My name's not "weird lady", it's Jewelry Bonney, dammit! And I'm not laying here for the fun of it, I just jumped on your barrel when I was escaping from the marines and we ended up here!"

"You escaped from the marines?! Awesome!" Bonney blinked at the unexpected excitement towards her earlier escapade, before grinning and replying, "Damn right! It's gotta be awesome if I'm involved."

"Hey, hey, Bonney?" The girl was brought out of her moment of boasting when she heard the male teen up in her face and talking to her. "Haven't you heard of a thing called personal space?!" Bonney shoved him away slightly before continuing "Whaddya want?"

Not being slightly affected, he laughs again and his grin gets even wider if that was possible. "Join my crew!"

…She blinks. Once. Then twice.

"No." She curtly answers.

"Ehhh?! Why not?!" The male teen whines.

"Well for one, I don't even know who the hell you are! And secondly-" She's cut off from making her second point when his voice cuts in. "Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? My name's Monkey D. Luffy and I'm the man who'll be King of the Pirates!"

"I wouldn't be so sure of that if I was you." She starts, given perfect setup to make her second point.

"Eh? Why not?" His confusion is evident on his face, as he stares owlishly at her.

Bonney grins as she gives out her answer, "Because I'll be the one who becomes King of the Pirates."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Well, that was the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. And I hope it wasn't too bad. Also, before anyone thinks of it, no, the "yoo" in the Celestial Dragon's speech is not a typo that's just the way he talks. Kudos to whoever will know who it is, it's pretty obvious though even if I never gave his name.
