COAST - Luffy x Reader

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Alright, Coast Crew. It's time to set sail. We're finally heading back out onto our adventure!!

Sorry about the long wait, once you come back from vacation, it's a real pain in the ass when you have like two essays due and butt-load of assignments to complete for school LOL. 

Hopefully there's no mistakes, I tried to write this one ASAP so that we could get back onto a rough schedule for posting. Editing may have been a little rough, so feel free to call something out if you notice it. 

That being said, I am starving y'all. If you have any fanfics you would suggest, throw 'em on here; support other creators, especially ones that aren't well known! I'm always down to read other peoples work, it gives my brain a break from writing. If I like 'em a lot, maybe I'll give a shout-out or something cus we love love love a good fanfic.

Thanks a bunch for all of your patience and support while I was gone, you guys are awesome <33

Hope you enjoy! :)

"Stupid dumpling-guy!" Luffy grits at the rounded-man currently attacking him and his crewmates.

Luffy swirls his arm like an old cartoon character, a battle-cry on his lips as he releases it out into a pistol-punch. The priest dodges, grabbing onto Luffy's elongated arm and beginning to swing him in slow circles. Eventually, Luffy's body picks up speed, getting closer and closer to the surrounding trees, before—

Smash!

The plate lies in shattered bits and pieces on the linoleum floor. My little hands drip water, increasing the mess as my mother comes around the corner with a sharp gasp.

"You--" With a sigh, "You can't begin to understand how expensive that was." She huffs, hands on her hips with a glower.

"Well? Make yourself useful and go get a broom and a dustpan. Honestly, can't you do anything right?"

Luffy sends out his fist to charge the priest a second time, and as the priest grabs and tugs him forward as he did before, the Straw Hat Captain attempts to use that as leverage to finally land a punch on this annoying guy. The priest raises an open hand and blasts into Luffy's face with that same strange attack from before. He winces and braces himself for impact.

Flung backwards and flailing, Luffy tries his best to reorient himself against the large stem of the tree he lands on. The priest is faster, though, and bombards Luffy by repeatedly using his ability on the boy's head, effectively planting it inside of the trunk and leaving him immobile. Luffy can hear the man giggling gleefully as he hops away from his restrained self, seething as he tries to fruitlessly yank it back to the surface with his stretchy neck.

"She broke another one today."

"How can one child be so clumsy?"

"She didn't even wash them properly."

"Just... give her something else to do."

"I don't want to have an extra mouth to feed for no reason. I think we should just call the orphanage."

"You know we'll be on their radar if we do that."

"We'll find another orphanage later. Just call them."

Luffy sprints with his mouth hanging open, screeching in pain as his behind is lit with flames due to the massacre of surprise-cloud-balls, scattering like flies all around them. They're rapid-fire and unrelenting, with a frenzy that he and his crew struggle to dodge; a problem due to his own actions, caused when he used his Gum-Gum Gatling in a fit of rage after finally freeing his head from the tree.
