I lay in bed, staring at an unfamiliar setting. This was not my room. This was not my bed. Ugh, where the hell am I?

I sat up and yawned. It took me a while to figure out the reason. I had been thrown - again - in the anime world. Only this time One Piece.

"Oh, you're finally awake!"

I turned and was met by a pair of eyes looking straight at me, less than a foot away. I screamed and backed off into the inconveniently placed wall. I cursed silently as I rubbing my bumped head.

"A-are you okay? Sorry I didn't mean to scare you."

I looked back at Shanks, who was now scratching his cheek as he laughed nervously. I pouted and start to pinched his cheeks with my now small hands. Hard.

"Owowowowow, it hurts! Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" he screamed. Satisfied, I let go and jumped off the bed. I hissed as the cold floor touched my bare feet. I started to walk around, you know, to get used to the temperature, and finally left the room. I heard footsteps trailing behind me; I turned and looked up. It was Shanks. I guess I should thank him for saving me.

"Umm, Shanks-san?" he hummed and crouched down so we were eye to eye. "T-thank you. . . for saving me. . ." I blushed and looked down. The red-haired pirate chuckled in amusement and ruffled my hair. I felt my face getting hotter. Man this is embarrassing! Not to mention I was a huge Shanks fan. It's not that I liked him, I just respected him.

"Come on, I want to introduce you to someone. He's two years older than you, I think. . . How old are you anyway, ojou-chan?" crap. I knew it he would ask that. Shiiiiiitt...

"I-I'm five." Shit, my voice changed too!My hair still bore the same length, despite my smaller body and higher voice. But by the way my bangs hung over my eyes, I was seriously debating cutting it.

"I was right! Well, let's go then." Shanks smiled and held his hand down for me hold. I took it and started walking in a direction unbeknownst to me. Or was it?

We walked slowly, some people greeting Shanks. Sometimes they smiled and greeted me, but I cowered behind Shanks, still holding his hand. Shanks only laughed and ruffled my hair. Again. I pouted and pinched his hand because my hair become tangled because of him. He just grinned. I made him hiss by pinching him. It became a routine.

Then we stopped at a bar, I what I thought looked like a bar. I had never gone to a bar before, and never will, so I wouldn't know. The bar was full of men with scary looking appearances. Shanks greeted them and they greeted back with smiles; I guessed they were part of Shanks' crew, or at least kind people. I didn't know. We kept walking until arriving in front of a long counter thing with several tall stools.

And guess what? On one of the stools was the main character of One Piece, looking at me with his all-too familiar D-sized grin.

Yup. The soon-to-be infamous Monkey D. Luffy. . .

Luffy had a strange way of greeting me. He jumped down from the stool and landed in front of me. I swear, his soul-invading stares were creepy, making me feel uncomfortable. He just kept on staring, as if he was looking for something. Apparently he found it, because he started grinning again. Luffy pointed to himself with his thumb.

"I'm Luffy! What's your name?" he asked. Damn, what name I should use? I panicked, thinking quickly. I think I'll change my last name, because my last name is a weird one. My middle name was fine, but Luffy had a one-letter name, so I decided to copy him and use the first letter of my name. I smirked. And, of course, never forget to turn the last and first name!
