The Tea Party From Hell

Discovering Long Lost Family

So I wrote this story while watching the Whole Cake Island arc. I will never do something like this again. It took FOREVER to get through the arc and I have a newfound appreciation of those who do memory fanfics. Pausing every few seconds to copy down a line of dialogue was not fun. Though I still enjoyed adding to the story. Ruffy's thinking is sarcastic, I couldn't help it with some of the scenes!

Something weird also happened to me while writing this. Since the point of view is from the Big Mom pirates, I started rooting for the bad guys while watching, even though I knew what was gonna happen! It was trippy. So Ruffy is considered an OC but he's basically an OOC Luffy. Maybe OOC Charlottes behind the scenes, but we'll never know. I haven't finished editing it, as I'm bored with editing, so I have 6 chapters edited. Another 50,000+ word story. Sorry about the long A/N. Enjoy~

Ruffy sat on his bed and looked at the sheet of paper in his hand he'd snatched out of the latest newspaper. The teen held up the wanted poster in confusion, cocking his head to the side. Something was off about this photo. He didn't remember taking this picture. And he never wore that hat either. It was a wanted poster with a photo of Ruffy, only slightly different. If it werent for the small scar on the left cheek of the doppleganger, he would have thought it was him.

The photo had slipped out of the paper, and when Ruffy picked it up, he immediately stuffed it into his shorts before going into his room and locking the door so he wouldn't be interrupted by dad in case he had something to talk to him about.

Why was there someone who looked exactly like him? They even had the same haircut. Was he cloned? And why did his name rhyme with Ruffy's? Monkey D. Luffy, or otherwise known as Straw Hat Luffy. The last name wasn't even close to being the same, though.

Charlotte D. Ruffy didn't sound anything like "Monkey". And that was a pretty funny name. He wished he had a silly last name like that. Then he thought about something. He knew he was adopted, for he'd overheard a conversation from his father, Katakuri, when he was young, and knew he wasn't biologically related to any of his big family.

That's why Big Mom didn't like him much, despite the fact that he was a strong asset to the family. She never invited him to the tea parties, he was only allowed to come because of Katakuri bringing him along. The family still remembered when a four year old Ruffy jumped into the chocolate fountain. That had been a mess, and a nightmare to clean up.

But, even after that, no one was mad at him or hated him, besides Mama and Flampe, who seemed to be jealous of Ruffy being the son of Katakuri.

Anyways, what if Luffy was actually Ruffy's twin? Who's to say Ruffy and Luffy werent separated at birth? Well, he'd find out himself! Clearly, Katakuri had been keeping the wanted posters away, since there was no way 300,000,000 berris was a first time bounty. Ruffy wondered why it was kept from him. There were other wanted posters inside, but Ruffy wasn't interested in them.

Well, he wasn't mad. A bit irritated, but not mad. When Katakuri called his name, Ruffy shoved the paper under his mattress. Ruffy trotted down the tall hallway to the kitchen and gave his father the paper.

Ruffy sat at the desk in his room and wrote a letter to Straw Hat Luffy. He had crumpled papers on the floor around him, trying to find the best letter to send. He already had two photos of himself he'd send along with the letter.

One of them was a normal picture of himself, while the other was him in partial dragon form, where he was still in humanoid form but covered in black and green scales and red irises. He thought he looked cool like that, while some of the kids on the island he lived with Katakuri on were afraid of it.
