Romance Dawn! A Pirate Arrive To Ponyville!

Wealth

Fame

Power

Gol D. Roger the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else Equestria had to offer, and his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

Gol D Roger: My treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in that one place!

These words lured men to the grand line in pursuit of dreams greater than they ever dared to imagine. This may have started the greatest era of pirates for Equestria but for some is well be known as the great Age of Friendship!

In a small town called Ponyville, It a place that was founded by a race of people called earthborns but now home to skyborns and magicborns. It also the home of six special groups of friends, one is name Twilight Sparkle a magicborn who dreams of learning everything about friendship. Applejack a hard-working earthborn who was born and raised in an apple farm. Another earthborn named Pinkie Pie a party girl who knows when it's time to have fun. A skyborn named Rainbow Dash who love flying and taking on any challenges. Fluttershy is another skyborn who naive and shy but has a big heart. Last is Rarity a magicborn like Twilight who has a sense of fashion. These 6 girls are more than just friends they're the bearers of the most powerful artifacts, The Elements of Harmony. They use them to free a princess from great darkness and now the six girls live peacefully in Ponyville, until one day.

In the Sugarcube Corner, a build that likes to be made of dessert, a sound of a ratchet was coming from the inside.

"PINKIE!" Twilight cries out as she continues to dodge and use her magic to catch some throwing ice cream.

Rainbow was flying high up to avoid more ice cream and Fluttershy kept running around dodge to avoid the ice cream too. "Oh, dear. Oh my," she said in fear.

"Pinkie! are you almost done yet?" Applejack asks as she uses an umbrella to protect herself and Rarity who is hiding behind her from the rest of the ice cream.

"Please say yes." Rarity asks as she docks behind back to Applejack before an ice cream hits her, "And please watch the hair."

"Ok ladies, I just did it," Pinkie says as she places the last of whipping cream and sprinkles. She then jumped very high and landed on top of a giant ice cream sundae, with a mix of different kinds of flavors and topping. "May I present Pinkie special, The gigantamax sundae special!" Her friends all look in amazement and Pinkie jumps down and yell, "Whoa!" But the noise of Pinkie yell causes the sundae to collapse and the ice cream cover whole inside of the Sugarcube Corner. "Ow, sorry." Pinkie apologizes as she and her friend's head pop out and then do not look happy.

Later on Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight cleared up all the ice cream. Pinkie was getting out 6 normal size sundae, "I really sorry girls." She apologized again.

"It's fine, I guess." Twilight said as she and everyone else sat down to enjoy some ice cream, "But, did you need to make that ice cream really big?"

"Of course," Pinkie answered in a happy tone. "To celebrate the anniversary of Twilight coming into all our lives."

"Pinkie it has only been 3 weeks since Twi moved here," Applejack added.

"Yeah, I know but I'm still so happy that she's here," Pinkie says as she hugs Twilight.

Twilight gently moved Pinky off of her, "And I'm glad that you all took me in, even though I didn't want anything to do with friendship." she said in ashamed knowing how she acted towards the girls.

"That all right Twi," Rainbow says as she moves closer to Twilight. "We all still love you, even if you're an egghead.” Twilight got annoyed by the last part but smiled none the less.

All the girls agreed and continued eating their sundaes when suddenly the doors burst out. Coming from the doors was three young girls and a baby purple dragon. One is a earthborn with red hair and a pink bow, the other one is a skyborn that has short purple hair, and the last is a magicborn with light violet hair in a curly. The dragon then cried out, "Twilight, we got trouble!"

"Big sis, big sis!" the young earthborn ran toward Applejack to hug her.

"It's all right, It's all right." Applejack said to try to calm her "Now what wrong, sugarcube?"

"Rarity this bad, really really bad." the young magicborn said to Rarity in her high voice.

The skyborn kid grabs onto Rainbow Dash's arm and tries to move her, "Come on Rainbow, We need you to kick their ass."

"Whoa whoa, kid, who butt you want me to kick?" Rainbow asked as she made the young girl let go of her arm.

Twilight got up and asked, "Spike, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle. Will, you guys calm down and tell me what's going on?" She finishes as she places her hands on the baby dragon named Spike's shoulders.

The dragon spoke with panic in his eyes, "We are under attack!"

His words had everyone in the room up on their feet with a shocked look on their face. "F-F-F From who?" Fluttershy asked in fear.

The three girls and Spike scream, "PIRATES!"

Outside The town on the shoreline there was a ship, it was a huge violet color ship with two sails and a snakehead on its front. Everyone from town gathers outside to see the ship and they were in a panic.

"Everyone please settle down." An elder earthborn woman says, trying to get everyone's attention, "Look, the best thing for us all is to take our belongings and evacuate the town until the pirates leave."

"That's your plan? To let them plunder us and hope they will leave?" One person said.

"I know it is not the most idealistic plan but keeping you all safe is my top priority." The earthborn woman said.

"Mayor Mare!" A voice called out to her, the voice came from Twilight as she and the rest of the girls came toward her. "We heard what is going on, How can we help?" Twilight said as she and the girls look ready from anything.

"Right now I want you all to help hide with the rest of the town people, I stay and see if I can pay them to leave."

"What?" Rainbow shouted, "No way are we letting some pirates plunder our home."

"Rainbow Dash, fighting them is not the best option right now. Look at their jolly roger." The mayor pointed at the black flag on the ship. It looks to be a skull with a crescent moon behind it. "That belongs to Crescent-Moon Gally, one of the most dangerous pirates in the sea."

"So what if he is a dangerous pirate, I say we fight for our home," Rainbow said.

"For once I agree with Rainbow," Applejack stated as Rainbow gave her a nasty glare. "I hear of this Gally fellow, and if we let him do whatever he wants there be nothing left of Ponyville."

"Please mayor, there got to be a way to stop him?" Twilight pleaded to the woman, "Maybe I can use some spell to drive them away or I can write to Princess Celestia and ask her for help."

"Twilight I don't think that will work, one thing most pirate ships are makers of a special kind of wood that negate magic so no magicborn can sink them. and I don't think princess or any of her forces can get here on time." The Mayor told her.

Rarity asks the mayor, "Please miss mayor I know you don't want to make things worst but if we don't do anything, Ponyville will be in ruin."

"Miss Rarity, builds can always be replaced but lives can't." The mayor said to Rarity and then turned to everyone else, "The few of you who are older and toughest can stay if you want but remain hidden. the rest must evacuate, I'll stay to try to talk to them."

"They're here!" One person said as the ship is now closer to the shore. Everyone ran away to hide, even the main 6 reluctantly listened to the mayor and took their sister to hide too. When the ship arrived stranded on top of it with something unexpected. It was an earthborn that looked to be the main 6 ages, he was wearing a red vest, a straw hat, and a scar under his left eye.

"Aw, man... I couldn't get any food after all." The straw hat boy said feeling disappointed. "Well, there must be a cafe here somewhere. I'll just go get something to eat while I'm here." he hopes as he looks toward the town.

"Hey, you!" A voice called out to him, the voice came from an earthborn who looked to be in his middle-aged. He wears a typical pirate captain's attire and has a black crescent-shaped mustache with an orange beard that looks to be crescent moon shaped too. "I won't let you get away with this! Who the hell do you think I am!? I'm the great Gally of the Crescent Moon!" He claims but unfortunately he and the rest of his men are beaten up and tied up. "I only dropped my guard for a second! That's why I lost!" he told the straw hat boy.

The straw hat boy looks annoyed and replies. "Hey, I didn't want to fight. I was just wondering if you guys had some food to share. you guys attacked me first!" He then did something with his hands that looked like Gally's mustache. "As soon as I said your mustache looked weird..." Gally had a shocked look on his face hearing the boy making fun of his mustache.

Gally then responds in a sinister tone. "Too bad. you just picked with the wrong opponent. You've angered the last man in the whole of Equestria, and even if you take me down I have a first mate who is one of the most powerful sorcerer in all of..." He then realizes mid-sentence that the straw hat boy left. "I'm going to kill him."

The straw hat boy landed on the sand looking around until he spotted Mayor Mare. "Hey, old lady." He says to the Mayor as he walks toward her, "Do you know anywhere I can eat?" The mayor still in shock could only point in the opposite direction. "Thanks." He said and then took off toward town yelling. "Food!"

Everyone who hid was shocked by the straw hat boy appearance, including the main 6, their sisters, and spike. "Is that really Crescent-Moon Pirate Gally?" Twilight asked.

"I thought he be more like Nightmare Moon, you know because of the Crescent-Moon name." Apple bloom thought out loud but quickly pulled back by Applejack.

"He doesn't look too scary," Fluttershy said quietly.

"Yeah, He looks kind of funny." Pinkie giggled as she pops out right next to Fluttershy, making the shy girl scream a little.

"I was expected to be more muscular." Applejack stated, "That fellow is thin as a toothpick."

Rarity look almost repulsed, "Look at the outfit he's wearing and that straw hat."

Rainbow dash with the determination in her eyes ran toward the same direction as the straw hat boy. "Rainbow what are you doing?" Twilight asks her.

"Come on you guys, you all saw him right, we can take him and if we let him run around he will destroy Ponyville," Rainbow says as she takes off.

"Rainbow, you heard the mayor we can't fight him." Applejack calls out to her as she follows.

"We coming too." Pinkie said as she grabs on to Fluttershy's arm.

"We are?" The shy girl asks as she, Pinkie, and Rarity follow too.

Twilight looks at the three young girls and the baby dragon. "Spike I need you and the girls to stay here until it's safe, and also..." She took out a scroll and quill, "I need you to write to Princess Celestia. Even if she can't get here on time, we will keep him busy long enough for her to get here."

The dragon had a worried look in his eyes and looked to Twilight. The girl gave him a reassuring smile making the dragon nod and said, "Ok, just be careful." She nodded and took off in the same direction the others did.

The straw hat boy sniffed around until he stopped and cheered. "Finally I found it," He was standing in front of Sugarcube Corner. "Man it smells good in there, I wonder if I can eat the building too?" He salivated.

"Not so fast!" Rainbow called out to the straw hat boy as She ran toward him. She jumps up and delivers a flying kick to him but he quickly dodges it.

Rainbow Dash landed on her feet and glared at the boy. "Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Rainbow Dash!" She declared, "The girl who is going to kick your flank out of here." She ran up to him and started throwing punches and kicks at him, but he kept dodging them until he grabbed her arms and tossed her to another building.

"Stop right there!" Applejack calls out as she, Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy finally catch up. "I don't know who you think you are, but no one tosses my friends like that and gets away with it." Applejack then tries to use a swift kick on him but he just backs off a bit.

He now just blankly stares at the five girls and then sighs. "Man what with everyone picking a fight with me today?" He then got into a fighting pose, "Alright, Let’s go!"

Rainbow Dash got back up as Applejack and herself immediately attacked him again. Rainbow was using punches and Applejack was kicking but couldn't hit him and the straw hat boy wasn't going to just dodge anymore. He hit Applejack in the gut and kicked Rainbow Dash in the face and knocked her down. Before the straw hat boy could do anything, a diamond shield appeared in front of him, the shield came from Rarity. "That is it, you ruffian I will not let you hurt my friends, anymore." The boy, however, was not paying attention as he was looking in amazed at the diamond shield, Rarity frowned and said. "Very well, take this!" She threw another diamond shield at him.

The shield hit him also knock his hat off and landed on Fluttershy feet. "Girls!" Calling out to them was Twilight who finally caught up with them and almost out of breath, "Is... Everything... Okay?...." She asks as she tries to catch her breath.

"Twilight!" Pinkie beams to her, "It was amazing at first Dashie and Applejack try to fight that Gally guy on their own but he beat them but luckily Rarity stops him by using her diamond shield over there." She pointed.

Twilight, who was able to breathe again, looked at the direction Pinkie was pointing out and had terror on her face. The others were confused until they all looked at the straw hat boy to see his head was gone.

All the girls were screaming thinking they just killed a man, The one of them who was the most shocked was Rarity who did the deal. "I cut his head off! I didn't think my attack would be that powerful." A few of the hairs on Rarity’s head went crooked, "W-What Should I do!?"

Twilight tries to comfort Rarity, "It ok Rarity, We can say it was self-defense."

"I CAN NEVER LOOK AT SWEETIE BELLE THE SAME WAY AGAIN!" She cried out.

"One option, we hide the body," Rainbow suggests to the others.

Suddenly the straw hat boy's head popped back up, "AHH! He alive!" The girls all scream.

"Seriously what wrong with you guys? Someone could get hurt," he yelled to them.

"You're a monster!" The girls scream back to him.

"How rude." He replied.

Twilight steps right in front of the others and spoke, "Listen, Gally, we are not backing down and I already wrote to the princess she is on her way here. So leave now!" The others stand with Twilight on that.

"Gally? Who is that?" He asks leaving the main 6 all confused.

"What, you're not Gally?" Twilight asked the boy and he shook his head. "So we got the wrong guy. But weren't you out on that ship?" she pointed back to the beach.

The boy turned around to look at the ship that he came on. "So that was a pirate ship, huh." He said as he taps his head but noticed that something was gone. "Ahhh! My Hat!" he then looks toward the main 6, "Hey, what you stupid girls did to my hat?"

All the girls felt insulted by what the straw hat boy said to them. "Who you call stupid?" Rainbow says to him, filled with rage. "Going crazy over a dumb hat!"

He got into her face. "That hat is my treasure, and anyone who so much touches it is going to get a beating." he threaded.

"Ahem..." A voice calls out and everyone turns toward Fluttershy who was holding the straw hat. "Your hat just fells on me and I just wanted to give it back to you. So please don't hurt us." She begged. The boy just smiles and quickly grabs on to his hat also Fluttershy's hands, making the girl blush.

"My Hat! Thank you so much!" He shook Fluttershy's hands and took back the hat. "I guess you're not as bad as the others."

The girls all were confused and had a thought on the behavior of the straw hat boy except for Pinkie. 'What is wrong with him?'

Twilight then spoke up. "Excuse me, but if you're not Gally or one of his crewmates, then who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm going to become king of the pirates."

Author's Note

Hope you all like this story so far, what if the ponies characters are going to be humanoid with some pony parts. Skyborns are going to have wings, the Magicborns are going to have horns or gems on their foreheads if you like, and last Earthborns will just look like normal humans.

The scene of Pinkie making the giant ice cream is similar to the first scene of Pony Life episode 1.

This story will be based on the One Piece: Romance Dawn, Version 1 one-shot, and One Piece: Romance Dawn Story Special OVA.

And you're wondering what place it takes in the timeline, This is in season 1 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and Before Luffy met Coby on Alvida ship in Episode 1 or Chapter 2 of One Pirate.

The Boy Fill With Dreams! The Main 6 Vs The Crescent-Moon Pirates!

The girls were all in shock to hear what this boy named Monkey D. Luffy said. "Did you just say you're going to be King of the Pirates?" a shocked Twilight asked as Luffy nodded. "So that means, you're going after Gold Roger's treasure?"

"Yep!" Luffy answered with a wide grin. Then Rainbow Dash walks right next to Luffy.

"So in other words you're a pirate, right?" She asked him

"Yea," Luffy said, still smiling. Rainbow Dash then raced toward him to attack but was stopped by a violet aura that wrapped around her. The violet aura came from Twilight using her horn.

"Twilight?! Let go of me!" Rainbow shouted to her as she struggled to get out of her aura to no avail. "You heard what this jerk said, he’s a pirate and if we don't stop him, he’s gonna destroy Ponyville!"

"But Rainbow..." Twilight was about to protest but was stopped by Applejack with a tap on her shoulder.

"I’m afraid I had to agree with RD on this." Applejack stated, "All pirates are known to plunder everything and torch towns to the ground."

The group looked back at Luffy, who was just picking his nose, which disgusted Rarity. "I don't know, he doesn't seem that bad," Twilight said.

"He threatened us over a dumb hat!" Rainbow shouted.

"And he was beating up Rainbow and Applejack." Rarity commented.

"Well," Fluttershy suddenly spoke up getting everyone's attention. "He didn't try to hurt me when I gave his hat back to him."

"Alright look, until we know more about this guy, let's just keep an eye on him for now," Twilight suggested it to the others and they all nodded except for one of them who was missing. "Where Pinkie?" Twilight questioned.

The girls then heard Pinkie and Luffy voices coming from Sugarcube Corner, the rest of the group just signed and responded with. "Pinkie..."

The girls walked into Sugarcube Corner to find them and what they saw shocked all of them. On the table was a huge stack of cakes and Luffy was eating all of these cakes whole, one by one. Pinkie was sitting right next to him and giggling at some of the stories Luffy was telling her. "So you really punched a sea king?" She asked, which got the other's attention.

"Yep," Luffy responded as he was stuffing his mouth with more cakes.

The others looked dumbfounded at all the cakes Luffy was currently eating. "How is he not choking right now?" Twilight wondered.

"And how is he still so thin?" Rarity asked, looking at Luffy's belly, almost feeling jealous.

Rainbow went over to Pinkie, "Pinkie! What is he doing here?" She pointed at Luffy who was still eating.

"Oh, Luffy said that he was feeling hungry, so I brought him here and he said he’s not going to plunder Ponyville." Pinkie answers.

"Pinkie!" Applejack calls out to her, "We don't know if we can trust him yet."

"Yeah, for all we know he could be lying," Rainbow suggested.

The two continue trying to get Pinkie to think otherwise of the straw hat pirate but then Twilight sits down opposite of Luffy. "Ok Luffy, can you tell us why you came to our town?"

Luffy, still stuffing his face, told her. "I ran out of food and I was really hungry."

"Ok, so why were you on Gally's ship?" Twilight asked him.

But Luffy didn't answer as he was looking outside the window. "I wonder if the captain was on that ship?"

Twilight was annoyed and angry when Luffy ignored her. "Pay attention when someone is talking to you!" She shouted as her face turned red, everyone was silent from Twilight's sudden outburst.

But Luffy was just laughing at it, making Twilight blush in embarrassment, "You're pretty funny...." Luffy then realized, "what's your name again?"

"We never told you our names, but I guess we can start with that." Twilight calmed down and stood up. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and you kind of already met Pinkie and Rainbow Dash." Twilight introduces her friends

Luffy just laughed again and said, "You all have very funny names!" All the girls except for Pinkie felt insulted again from Luffy making fun of them.

"Hey, Luffy isn't that great of a name either." Rainbow claimed as she got up to Luffy's face. "And stop playing dumb! You’re really here to destroy our town, also what was that about a Sea King?" She asked.

Pinkie raises up her hand to answer. "Oh, Oh, Oh, can I answer? Please?" Pinkie kept at it until Rainbow allowed her to explain. "When Luffy first left his home village, a Sea King popped out of nowhere and Luffy punched it." She finished.

"What, no way! You actually punched a Sea King?!" Rainbow shouted to Luffy.

Luffy shot back at her, "Yeah I did, I punched the Sea King to prove that I was strong enough and I didn't need Shanks to save me this time." He states proudly.

"Who’s Shanks?" Fluttershy asked.

Luffy blankly looked at her giving her a wide smile and took off his hat. "He’s a pirate who came to my village when I was a kid." Luffy then sees an image of a red hair magicborn with three scars on his left eye.

"He’s the one who gave me this straw hat and asked me to return it when I become a great pirate someday." He said as he looked at his hat, smiling in nostalgia, remembering his time with Shanks, both the good and the bad. The girls sensed something about Luffy. Something that made them think he was someone that could be trusted.

"So you’re really planning on becoming the next King of the Pirates?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yep!" He answered with a toothy grin.

"Right, you really sure about this Luffy?" Applejack asked him, "Roger's treasure is in some place called the Grand Line and what Ah heard about that place is it’s really dangerous, you might even die."

Luffy just simply said, "If that happens, then I die. If I give it my all, then I will have no regrets." He put his hat back on. Everyone was astonished at Luffy's declaration to follow his dream no matter what. Luffy then got up and headed for the door.

"Thanks for the food, bye!" He was almost out the door until Twilight snapped out of it and called to the straw hat boy.

"Wait!" She got up and followed him. "You still haven't answered my question. Why were you on Gally’s ship?" Both of them got outside and the rest came out too.

"Gally?" Luffy said and Twilight nodded, "That's a really weird name!" Luffy burst out laughing which made the girls, mostly Twilight, really annoyed.

"Gally is the captain of the Crescent-Moon Pirates! That was his ship that you came on!" Twilight shouted.

"Was he really not there? Because if he really is here, then our town will be... "

"You little insect collector!"

Everyone turned to see a huge group of pirates holding weapons and right in the center was the man who wore the pirate captain's attire with the crescent-shaped mustache.

"I won't stand for this!" he yelled, "My name is weird?! Not even my own parents ever told me such a thing!" he pulled out a sword, "You've got some nerve mocking me, the great Crescent-Moon Pirate Gally!"

"That Gally!?" The girls all replied.

Luffy just said, "So he managed to untie his ropes..."

PInkie got one good look at Gally and started to giggle. "Pinkie what y'all laughing about?" Applejack asked her.

"Him!" Pinkie pointed to Gally, "He looks so funny!" Pinkie continued to laugh and cover her mouth, but this only made Gally even more angry.

"Enough! I was just going to kill this guy and take every last bit of this town's money but now I’m gonna to burn this town to the ground!" Gally declare.

Everyone minus Luffy looking at Pinkie with an angry glare. "Oopsie, sorry." She said.

"Geez, you're a jerk." Luffy said to Gally.

He shouted back, “Shut up! This is all your fault! Damn, you really pissed me off! I swear I'm going to kill you!”

Twilight whispered to Luffy to ask him. "Luffy, what did you do to make him so mad with you?"

"Hey, he was the one who started all of this by bringing me on his ship." Luffy replied, "All I did was say his mustache looked weird..."

"You said it again!" Gally shouted again, not liking Luffy making fun of him. "Who do you think you are? Thinking just because you got lucky, you were able to beat us and then tied us up!"

“Wait, you're telling me you all got beaten up by this guy?" Rainbow asked, pointing to Luffy. With no replies from the pirates, it was Rainbow's turn to burst out laughing.

"A bunch of dangerous pirates losing to a goofy kid? How lame!" She continued laughing.

"I don't know Dashie, you and Applejack already got beat by Luffy." Pinkie said to her. Rainbow Dash stopped laughing and then both she and Applejack glared at their pink friend.

Rarity quickly covered Pinkie's mouth, "Pinkie dear, we will always love you but please be quiet before you make the situation any worse."

"Too late. Men, attack!" Gally ordered his crew and they all charged at the group. Fluttershy got behind Rarity and Pinkie, Rainbow Dash was getting ready to fight them with Applejack by her side, and lastly Twilight was charging her horn to prepare to cast a spell, but then Luffy just ran through the mob of pirates heading straight for Gally. Gally tried to swing his sword but Luffy proceeded to dodge, punch Gally in the gut, and finally kick him into the side of a building. The enemy pirates all looked in horror at what just happened to their captain. On the other hand, the girls watched in amazement.

Luffy charged back to the group of pirates and started to beat them all down. Many tried to hit him, but Luffy just dodged each of their attacks and then knocked them out with one hit. One almost hit Luffy’s head with his sword but Luffy was saved when his wrist was tied up by a lasso. The lasso was from Applejack who yanked the lasso back sending the pirate flying toward her, greeting him with a good kick to his face. Then another pirate popped up to attack Luffy, but Rainbow Dash kicked him aside, "Look straw hat, I still don’t trust you, but you, me, and Applejack can work together, for now to take down these pirates. Okay?"

Luffy looked back at Rainbow with a smile, "Alright!" The three fighters stood together and continued the fight. Each one got a hit on many pirates and they each protected the others’ blind spots. They were fighting like a real team.

The rest of the girls just stood in pure amazement at their friends. "I can't believe how synchronized those three are. To think, a few minutes ago they were fighting each other," Twilight stated.

"Oh! I want to help too!" Pinkie brought out a colorful cannon out of nowhere and headed to the fight.

"I will help as well." Rarity said.

Fluttershy, still cowering in fear, looked back at seeing two of her friends walking toward the battle, "Really, but I... " She raised her hand but it was grabbed by Twilight who gave the shy girl a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry Fluttershy. I am going to help too, you just stay behind the doors for now, okay?" Fluttershy nodded as she moved to the door and Twilight followed along with the others.

The whole group minus Fluttershy charged into the battle. Pinkie used her cannon on the pirates but it only fired balloons, party streamers and presents, much to the pirates' confusion. Luckily it was a good distraction for Applejack as she kicked down the confused pirates and then Pinkie finished it off by throwing cupcakes at them. Rainbow flew up to look for a good hit but a few pirates drew their pistols and took aim at Rainbow. They fired but their bullets were stopped by a diamond-shaped shield. The pirates looked around to see that the shield came from Rarity who merely smirked at them. Before they could do anything, Rainbow came crashing down on top of them. She thanked Rarity with a big thumbs up. Luffy was surrounded by the last of Gally's crew who each held different weapons. Twilight cast a spell and turned all their weapons into random harmless objects and Luffy finished them off. Gally finally recovered to see almost his whole crew knocked out and defeated, making the Crescent-Moon Pirate furious.

As the fighting ended, the group turned to one another and smiled.

"We did it!" The girls cheered for their victory over the Crescent-Moon Pirates. Luffy then turned to the group with the biggest grin on his face.

"That was so cool! All that stuff you guys did!" Luffy cheered as his eyes turned into stars. "I take it back, you girls are awesome!"

Rainbow rubs her nose and says, "Well thanks Luffy, you weren't half bad yourself." Everyone nodded and shared the same sentiment except for Applejack who just turned her head. Fluttershy glanced at her friends and felt shame since she didn't do anything to help them.

Suddenly two of Gally’s crewmates came from behind and caught Twilight off-guard. One of them, an obese man, grabbed her horn and the other man held her at gunpoint. "Twilight!" the group yelled seeing their friend in danger. Most of them wanted to move to save her but...

"Stop!" said the pirate holding the gun. "If you guys value her life, don't move a muscle."

The group had no choice but to comply. "You damn cowards..." Applejack growled.

"That goes for you too," the obese man said to Twilight using his other arm to wrap around her. "Don't even think about using magic. One false move and I’ll break your horn." He tightened his hold on her horn and used his other hand to grope her chest, "wish you had bigger boobs." He sighed in disappointment. This made the rest of the girls mostly Twilight glare at him.

"HaHaHaHaHa!" Everyone turned towards Gally’s arrogant laughing, "This is what happens when you get too cocky you brats!" He pointed towards Luffy and yelled, "Men, kill that boy!" Suddenly, six more pirates appeared brandishing guns and fired at Luffy. The shots caught Luffy by surprise and he was riddled with bullets. Each of the girls was horrified about what happened to their new friend.

"Luffy!" Twilight shouted.

"No!" Applejack yelled.

"It can't be?" Rainbow denial.

"NoNoNoNo" Pinkie cried out.

"Poor Luffy..." Rarity covered her mouth in tears.

And Fluttershy screamed in terror.

"See, this is what happens when you mess with me!" said Gally as he laughed up a storm.

But Luffy was still standing. Instead of killing him, the bullets went through his skin and they bounced back, hitting random places and most of Gally’s crew. "No way!" Gally screamed out in shock. Luffy shot him back a determined grin. But it wasn't just Gally who was surprised. Everyone was shocked about what just happened to Luffy.

Luffy turned back to the two who had captured Twilight and he looked pissed, "D-D-Don't do it! W-W-We will kill her! said the man with the gun. But like with the obese man, they were too afraid to move. Then Luffy's arm suddenly stretched out hitting the pirates, knocking them to the ground. Twilight fell to her knees as Luffy's arm stretched back. Everyone was even more shocked at what Luffy just did.

Rarity tried to ask him, "Luffy. How-How....?" But she lost her nerve.

"Your arm!" Pinkie shouted, "Your arm stretched out!"

Rainbow got closer to Luffy and asked him, "How did you do that with your body?"

Twilight just stared at Luffy wondering how he did all that crazy stretching stuff. He was an earthborn so he couldn’t use any magic, unless…

"Luffy!" She called out to him, gaining everyone's attention. "By any chance did you eat something called a Devil Fruit?"

"Devil what?" Applejack asked.

"What!?" Gally shouted, "He is a Devil Fruit user!?"

Luffy laughed and said, "Yeah, I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit. It turns my entire body into rubber and now I'm a rubber man. Pretty cool, huh?" He finishes by pulling his cheek and stretching it out.

One of Gally's crewmates dragged himself to Gally. "Captain, these people are too strong for us. We need to head back and get Spiel."

But Gally was frozen in fear at the straw hat boy powers. He even struggled to grab hold of his own pistol trying to aim at Luffy again but instead going for Rainbow Dash who was standing next to him. Everyone was so distracted by what just happened no one was paying attention to Gally as he took aim at one of them. Except for Fluttershy who was still hiding at the door. She saw who Gally was aiming for. With enough focus Gally had his pistol at Rainbow and yelled, "DIE!" Before anyone could respond the pistol fired but his target disappeared. Fluttershy tackled Rainbow to the ground, saving her but she also got hit in the shoulder. "What!? Where did that one come from?!" Gally asked in shock.

Luffy saw what Gally had done to his new friends and he was angered. "That's it you stupid weird mustache man! I’ve had it! You messed with my friends, now I want you gone!" Luffy pulled back his arm and stretched it back for an attack.

"Gum-Gum Pistol!"

The blow hit Gally in the gut sending him flying all the way to the shoreline. Gally's crewmates who had recovered saw what happened to their captain. They decided to retreat back to the ship carrying or dragging some of their crew members who were still unconscious.

After they left Luffy held his hand to Twilight and helped her back up.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Luffy asked. She replied with a nod and the group turned their attention to their skyborn friends on the ground.

Rainbow finally looked up and saw Fluttershy on top of her. She then looked at Fluttershy's arm and worried about her being shot but before she could say anything Fluttershy was sobbing on her, "Rainbow, are you okay? You didn’t get hit anywhere?" She asked with tears and snot running down her face.

Fluttershy hugged Rainbow tighter as Rainbow tried to get Fluttershy off her, "I’m fine Shy, now let go." Fluttershy finally released her and they both got up, "But never mind me. What about you? Are you ok? You got shot."

Fluttershy looked at her injured arm and said. "Don't worry it just grazed me. I barely feel it." She assured her friends.

Applejack took a look, "Well it still looks bad. We better take care of this."

The group smile knowing their friends are all alright but then Luffy realizes something, "My boat!" he yelled.

"What!" the girls reacted with.

“My dinghy is still on their ship. I have to get it back. Gotta hurry!" Luffy then took off to where Crescent-Moon Pirates ship was docked.

Unfortunately, the ship had already left. Luffy looked around but didn't see it anywhere. "Oh man my boat, how can I sail now?" Luffy then saw two large men in front of him. One of them who had orange hair, wearing red asked him.

"Excuse me, but are you a pirate?”

Luffy answers with a grin "I sure am!"

The other guy shouted, "Alright! Everyone now!" The whole town got out of their hiding places and holding wooden sticks and other things, they all charged toward Luffy and managed to tie him up. The townspeople cheered on their victory over the pirate until the mayor showed up.

"Everyone, what are you doing?" She asked.

One of the two large men told her. "We took action and caught Gally!" He shows the tied-up Luffy. "You had us worried over nothing."

"He's right! You would have let him destroy our whole town but we saved it without you." One of the people said and most of them agreed, making the mayor feel hurt that her town didn’t want or need her anymore.

The other large men with the orange hair spoke up, "Alright, everyone that’s enough. We’d better find a good place to hold Gally until the authorities arrive." He then lifts up Luffy but drops him when he suddenly hears

"Big Macintosh, put him down!" It came from Applejack as she and the rest of the main 6 showed up. Most of them were out of breath. Spike along with the three crusaders came out of the crowd; they saw the main 6 and ran to their respective sisters.

"Applejack! I'm so happy ya'll are ok." Apple Bloom said looking up to her sister, "And we caught Gally."

“Uh, actually that’s not Gally." Applejack said not just to Apple Bloom but to the rest of the town.

"Yeah, he's our new super cool rubber pirate friend, Luffy!" Pinkie stated as Twilight uses her magic to untie him.

One of the town folk pointed, "But he's still a pirate! We should lock him up."

"Don't worry, Luffy’s not a bad pirate," Rainbow Dash told them. "In fact, Luffy and us, but mostly me, helped kick Gally and his sorry crew out of town."

"He did?" Everyone asked.

"Yeah, I mean you guys can see that Gally's ship is gone, right?" She pointed at the now empty dock.

"Wait, if he got rid of Gally, then that means... "

The folks soon gathered around Luffy and started tossing Luffy up in the air, "He’s a hero!" They all cheered, enjoying the fact that Luffy had saved their town.

"I am not a hero!" Luffy yelled back at them.

Ok, the next three chapters will be focus on the main 6 developing their bond with Luffy and I will like to hear ideas from you guys.

Luffy's Request! Life in Ponyville is Going to Get Interesting!

Later in the afternoon, the people of Ponyville were having a party for their hero Monkey D. Luffy who kept screaming at them to not call him a hero but everyone just ignored him and enjoyed the banquet. The party was filled with all kinds of foods and everyone was having a great time, especially Luffy who was mostly enjoying the food. Luffy was using his stretching arms to take some of the food from everyone else, anyone who wasn't in shock of Luffy's ability yelled at him to stop stealing their food.

Rarity was clearly disgusted at Luffy's behavior, "Luffy! Would it kill you to have some manners?" She asks him. But Luffy’s answers were muffled by his overstuffed mouth.

Twilight looks at Luffy using his stretching powers and wonders. "Wow, I can't believe I'm meeting a devil fruit user." She said in wonder.

"Hey Twi," Applejack called to her. "What are these devil fruits y'all keep talking about?"

Twilight began to speak and tell her friends what devil fruits are, How they can give people special powers by eating them. She explains how they are rare and hard to find as they are not navy to this part of Equestria and in fact, they can pay to sell for a high price. After she finished explaining, her friends were all left amazed.

"Wow, so these fruits can really make me a super stretchy person like Luffy?" Pinkie beams in joy, "Oh I want one."

"I won't recommend it, Pinkie." Twilight counter, "It said that each devil fruit comes with a terrible curse."

"Yeah, plus they taste like crap," Luffy stated.

"By the way Luffy, How did you get a devil fruit anyway?" Twilight asked.

Luffy answers her blankly. "From Sharks. I ate one by accident when I was angry at him."

"Really Luffy? Why were you mad at him?" Fluttershy inquired.

"It doesn't matter anymore," Luffy replied.

"Hey Twilight, How do you know so much about these devil fruits?" Rainbow Dash asked, looking at her magicborn friend.

"Oh well, an old friend told me about them once and I was able to find some books on it," Twilight said with some hidden sadness.

No one notices Twilight's sad look as their attention was on Luffy who was almost finishing the banquet, Pinkie calls out to him. "Hey, Luffy! What are you gonna do now?"

"I don't know, My boat is gone so I'm stuck here until I can get another one," Luffy said.

"Don't worry Luffy, we can find someone to build you a new boat for you," Twilight exclaimed.

"Really!" Luffy cheer. "Alright let's go!"

Luffy began to run out of the party but was stopped by a magic aura from Twilight. "Not so fast, it's late already. We can check in the morning."

"Arrh... fine." Luffy grumbles, but then looks toward Twilight and her friends, "Hey Twilight, can I ask you and everyone something?"

Twilight looked at her friends who all nodded. "Sure thing Luffy, what do you want to ask us?"

Luffy gave a wide grin, "Would you guys like to join my crew?"

"Join your crew!?" They all said in unison.

"Yeah, I'm putting together an awesome pirate crew to sail the sea with," Luffy told them.

The whole table except for Luffy were all silent in shock at Luffy's request for them. Rarity was the only one to respond to him back. "Luffy Darling, we are honored that you would ask, but why us?"

"Why not, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are really good at fighting, Pinkie is a lot of fun, you and Twi can do really cool magic stuff and Fluttershy is crazy brave!" He stated.

Everyone looks unsure about Luffy's request. "Sorry Luffy but, we all have lives and dreams here. We can't just drop everything and go to sea." Twilight told him.

"But... " Luffy was about to protest again...

"No Mean No Luffy!" Applejack shouted as she smashed her fist on the table, which got everyone surprised. Applejack looked at everyone's reactions to her outbursts and quickly sat back down. "Ah sorry, ya'll." She apologized.

"Hey, Twilight!" Then Spike calls out to her as he walk-in with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Each of them went over to their big sister and sat with them. Spike starts to stare at Luffy. "So, is this the pirate guy who helped you guys beat Gally?" Spike asked, pointing at Luffy.

Luffy went closer to Spike and asked. "Hey, Twilight, Who is this weird talking lizard?"

Spike heard what Luffy called him and was insulted at what Luffy said. "Hey, first off I am not a lizard, I'm a ferocious fire-breathing dragon!" He then continued, "And secondly, My name is Spike the Dragon, Twilight’s number one assistant." Spike stated, proudly.

Luffy's eyes turned into stars as he said. "Really? That's so cool!" Luffy grabs the baby dragon and raises him up high, "Can you breathe fire?! Can you fly?! Can you poop?!" Luffy kept asking him questions and staking the baby dragon until Twilight used her magic to free Spike. She floats him back to her side.

Scootaloo looks puzzled at Luffy's actions, "Is this really the guy who helped you guys beat those other pirates?" She asks Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, I know it's hard to believe." Rainbow answers, "But this guy really did take down Gally and the rest of his crew. But me and the girls but mostly me did all the hard work."

Applebloom then talks to Luffy, "Said Mr. Luffy if ya'll really are a pirate, how many other places have you been to?"

"Just this place for now. I just left my hometown a few days ago to start my dream." Luffy said.

"Really? What is it?"

Luffy got a wide grin on his face and shouted. "To be the King of the Pirates!"

The whole room went silent, as everyone stopped and turned toward Luffy. They all stare at what Luffy just said and all the mane 6 facepalm. "Did he just say that he was going to be king of the pirates?" One of the town folk said.

Before anyone could say anything else, Twilight grabbed Luffy's arm and asked him a question. "Luffy, you don't have any idea where you're going to stay, don't you?" Luffy shook his head in response, "Great, you can stay with me and Spike, for now, In fact, let's take you there, Now!" Twilight quickly rushed away from the banquet with Luffy in one hand and Spike in an energetic aura.

As Twilight, Luffy, and Spike make their way to her place, she turns to Luffy, "Luffy! You can't just say stuff like that out loud!" She scolded him.

"But why? It's true, I'm going to find the One Piece." Luffy stated.

"Wait, you were being serious back there?" Spike asked the straw hat boy, "You're really going to be King of the Pirates?"

"Yep!"

"Luffy, listen," Twilight said, getting both Luffy and Spike's attention. "The reason we don't want you saying that stuff out loud is, Gold Roger may have accomplished a lot of things in his time but to the rest of the world, he was one of the worst criminals in all of Equestria. What you said back there, means you're telling everyone that you're going to be the next worst criminal. This is why you need to...

Luffy was not listening again as he was ready at the front of her door. "Hey, Twilight! This treehouse is where you live? It's pretty awesome!” He laughed.

This caused Twilight to fall over and groaned, "This guy is going to be the death of me."

Twilight was looking deep inside Spike's mouth. "Are you sure you sent the letter?" She asked the baby dragon.

"Yeah, I did the writing, the flame sending part, all that stuff," Spike said.

Twilight was deep in thought. "Why hasn't the princess responded to my message? Was she really too busy to read it or... Ow!" Twilight was broken out of her thoughts when a book hit her on top of her head.

It was Luffy who was jumping from bookshelf to bookshelf grabbing some books and tossing them aside. "Luffy! What are you doing with my books?!" Twilight scolded him and moved to collect her drop books.

"Looking for a book with pictures to read, but all of these are boring," Luffy claims as he tosses another book which was caught by Twilight's magic.

"Well of course. The books I have are all about important information about Equestria, Magic and also... OW!" Twilight was interrupted when a book fell on her head, thanks to Luffy.

Luffy grabs another book and gets a good look at it. his eyes began to sparkle, He jumped down to Twilight and showed her the book. "Twilight! You have a book on the Grand Line!?"

"Yeah, a friend gave it to me a long time ago." Twilight took the book. "She taught me everything I wanted to know about the world beyond Equestria. All the islands, the different people, and also the tree where the devil fruit comes from." Twilight sign in nostalgia at the memories. "I've always wondered what is out there."

Spike looked up toward Twilight and said. "Wow Twilight, it's been a while since I heard you talk about the grand line like that."

"Well, I've been way too busy to think about it. But I would like to go there someday."

"Then it settles, Twilight can join my pirate crew so she can see the grand line itself instead of reading some boring book," Luffy suggested.

"Wait! You mean it, Luffy?" The baby dragon asked. "Then, Can I go with you guys too? After all, I am still Twilight's number one assistant and she will need me for assist stuff."

Twilight was about to protest, "Wait, Spike, I never said anything about joining... "

But she was cut off by Luffy who answered Spike with a smile, "Sure it, Spike you can join too. It would be awesome to have a dragon as a member of my crew."

"Alright!" Spike cheer.

"Wait, guys I... " Twilight tries to get their attention but they just ignore her and talk about pirate stuff. Twilight was getting frustrated and scream, "Will You Guys Let Me Talk For One Minute?!" The two finally stop and turn toward Twilight, who calms down and speak. "I am not going to join your crew or become a pirate."

"Aarrgh why not?" Luffy and Spike both complained.

"You know why Spike." Twilight stated, "I have a very important mission here in Ponyville by the princess herself. So I can't just wander off playing pirate somewhere." She then turned back to the straw hat pirate. "Look Luffy, it's been a long day, me and the girls will help you find a new boat but for now, let's just go to sleep."

Luffy stares at her blankly until he says, "OK," He then falls on his back and starts snoring with a nose bubble coming out of him.

Twilight and Spike were dumbfounded at Luffy's action. "Did he just fall asleep?" Spike questions.

Twilight just sighs and looks toward her number one assistant. "Come on Spike, Let's grab Luffy and head to bed." Spike nodded and got to work. Twilight looks back at Luffy with a smile and thinks to herself. 'Geez Luffy, you're quite the handful. I feel sorry for the first person who is dumb enough to join your crew."

Suddenly Somewhere in the world, a man tied up on a wooden cross just sneezed.

Twilight was finally resting on her own bed with Spike sleeping in his bedding and Luffy sleeping on a self-made bed. As Twilight looks upon her ceiling, she thinks to herself. "I wonder how you are doing or do you even still remember me?" She slowly closes her eyes. "Robin."

The next morning in Ponyville, everyone was going about their usual business, and Applejack was walking in town with a wagon full of apples. She stops at a food market and talks to the market owner. "Howdy mister." She greets as she pulls out a basket of apples from her wagon and hands it to the owner. "Here ya'll order of fresh apples." The owner gave Applejack a couple of gol bits, "Thanks. Have a nice day." She took her wagon and left.

She continued her delivery until she spotted Twilight, Spike, and Luffy. The three in turn spotted her too and each greeted her.

"Morning Applejack." Twilight said.

"Morning Applejack." Spike said.

"Hey Applejack!" Luffy said nonchalantly.

"Morning to you too, Twilight and Spike." She then turns to Luffy. "And you too Luffy." Luffy just waved to her back. "So, what ya up to this morning?" She asked them.

Twilight answered, "Oh well, I thought it might be a good idea for the first thing we should do is to go to the shipyard to make Luffy a new boat."

"Yeah, the sooner the better!" Luffy replied as he was eating an apple.

"Hey, where did you get that apple?" Spike asked the straw hat pirate.

Applejack's eyes go wide in realization and fury as she turns to her wagon and that almost half of her apples were eaten, she then turns back to Luffy in rage. "Luffy, Did you just eat meh apples?!"

"Eeyup." He answered, nonchalantly. Then Applejack ran toward Luffy and did a double flying kick on his face. The hit thrashing Luffy toward a nearby building and making a hole in it.

After Applejack calms down her face turns into horror as she realizes what she just did. She turned to Twilight and Spike who had a shocked look on their faces than the rest of the town folks who saw that. She ran toward where Luffy landed and helped pick him up. "Ah so sorry Luffy, are you ok?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. OW!" Luffy said but the blood coming out from his head betrayed that claim.

"Luffy!" Twilight called out to him as she runs toward him and Applejack with Spike following her. "Are you sure? you're bleeding." She pointed.

Luffy checks his head and sees that blood was on his hand. "That's weird, I normally don't get that hurt from attacks like that."

"Well anyway, we should probably go to the doctors to have that check out," Twilight stated as she was looking closer at Luffy's injury.

Applejack was blushing in embarrassment, she tipped down her hat and walked away from the others. "Sorry ya'll but Ah really need to get those deliveries done and now need to go back to meh farm to get more apples." She grabbed her wagon and took off. 'What's wrong with ya girl? Just because he is a pirate doesn't give you the right to treat him like that, for cryin' out loud he saved us from a bunch of other no-good pirates!' She thought to herself.

The three just stare in the direction where Applejack left, Spike was the first of them to speak. "Wow, I have never seen Applejack hit someone like that for just making her mad. Not even Rainbow Dash."

"I know, that was very strange of her. But then and... " Twilight turns her attention to Luffy, "It's still your fault Luffy! It was wrong of you to just eat all of Applejack's apples like that, especially without her permission!" She yells at him.

"Hehehe, Sorry!" Luffy replies in a goofy smile.

"Seriously man, how can you still be eating? between the banquet and the fact that you ate 300 pancakes this morning. Including some of mine that had gems in the mix." Spike stated.

Luffy just gave out a chuckle, Twilight shook her head and said. "Come on guys, Let's get Luffy's head patch up and then go to the shipyard." They all agree and make their way to the hospital. Yes, today is going to be interesting.

Author's Note

If you guys are wondering why Applejack's kick hurt Luffy this bad, try to just what strong enough to hurt a devil fruit user beside sea stones.

Ok you guys I still thinking are how Luffy should hang out with the rest of the mane 6.

A Rubber Experiment! Rainbow Race to the Finish!

Somewhere on an island, the pirate ship of Crescent-Moon Pirate Galley can be seen docked there. And the pirate captain himself along with the rest of his crew are walking through the island's jungle. Galley was using his sword to cut through the leaves, vines, and thick vegetation on his trek deeper into the island.

"Where is he?" Galley asked as he sliced another vine.

One of Galley's crewmates walked right next to him. "Captain, are you sure getting Spiel to help is a good idea?" He asked.

Galley turned to his crewmate with a menacing glare. "Do I have to remind you it was your idea to get him?!" Galley yells at him. "I'm going to make that rubber brat and those six girls pay for making a fool out of me."

Suddenly, an explosion can be heard coming from deeper within the jungle. Galley and his crew move toward the sound. Through some bushes, Galley spotted a tall, lanky man who was a magicborn with a sallow-face, his hair tied into six short ponytails with rainbow colors, arranged in a hexagonal manner, and two of which stuck out of his tricorne. He wears a striped shirt, black shorts, a pirate belt, a tricorne, and an open vest. He was holding up a broomstick and was surrounded by wooden boxes.

"Please Spiel, Mercy!" That voice came from an earthborn male who was floating up high in a blue energy aura. "You already took everything from me, what more do you want?!" begged the man.

The pirate with the broomstick used his blue aura to hold the man up. "What I want... is to hear you scream." He chuckled as his aura began to crush the earthborn male as he screamed in pain.

Spiel continued torturing his victim until a voice called out to him. "Spiel!" He then dropped him and then turned to see it was Galley who called to him. Galley began to move toward Spiel, "Well, I see you're still a sick son of a bitch." He then offered him his hand and gave a wide smile, "It's great to see you again, first mate." Galley said.

Spiel took his hand and shook it, "You too, Captain." He said with a sinister grin.

The earthborn man quickly tries to crawl away as the rest of Galley's crew emerge from the bushes. "So, how was your mission?" The captain of the Crescent-Moon Pirates asked, He then looked over the crawling man. "Who is that?" He pointed.

"Oh, nothing, just a remainder from the village." Spiel answered, "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get that Panda-bird, It floated away with a blue-hair skyborn girl."

"Listen Spiel, we need you to come with us." Galley exclaimed, "Some no-good straw hat boy and his six annoying girlfriends make fools of us, we need you to come back with us to make them pay."

Spiel then turned away from his crew, "No thanks." He said, "I really need to get that Panda-bird back, and besides, you're telling me, my own captain and his brave crew can't handle a bunch of kids? You know what, I'm almost ashamed to still call you that after what I’ve heard."

"Come on Spiel, you can't say that!" Galley cried.

"Hey, it's not our fault that kid and those girls from Ponyville were tougher than we thought." The obese crewmate said.

Spiel stopped and replied, "Ponyville, you said?" He then looked toward the rest of the crew. "Tell me, those girls from Ponyville, what did they look like?"

Galley stuttered and said, "Well, those were two earthborns, one was a blonde-haired cowgirl and the other one was a pink-haired crazy girl."

"And then there were two magicborns, both had purple-hairs, the one with the white horn was really beautiful and the one with a purple horn was kind of nerdy with very flat chest." The obese crewmate finishes with a disappointed sigh.

Another crewmate said, "Also the last two were skyborns, one had rainbow color hair with cyan color-wings and another had light pink-hair with yellow wings."

"Ha, so it's them." Spiel replied with a sinister smile, "Very well, I will come with you to Ponyville. Not just to take care of those girls, but the straw hat boy as well." He began walking toward the same direction the Crescent-Moon Pirates came from.

As the crawling man was almost about to get away from the pirates, he turned back and yelled to Spiel, "You're going to pay for what you did! You freaking ugly pirate!"

Galley and the rest of his crew stood frozen in fear as they turned back to Spiel. A dark aura surrounded Spiel's body as he creepily turned to the man. "Did you just call me a freaking ugly pirate?" The little courage the man had left quickly dropped as Spiel glared at him. Spiel tosses up the broomstick he was holding and in a puff of smoke, it turns into two flintlocks. He grabs them and fires two bullets at the man. The bullets ignited and set him ablaze. Spiel continues walking in the same direction his crew comes from but then looks at them, "Are we leaving or not?" He asked them.

Everyone was just frozen as they watched the burning man screaming in pain, "Yeah, let's go." Galley said snapping out of his stupor, the rest of the crew followed them, leaving the poor man to burn to death.

Luffy, Twilight, and Spike make it to the shipyard. Twilight was talking to the owner of the place about making Luffy a new boat. "So, what do you think?" She asked the man.

"Well, just give me a few days and I will have something for you kid." He answered, pointing to Luffy.

"Thank you very much, mister." Twilight thanked him, and the owner returned inside the shipyard, "Alright, now that is taking care of, all we have to do is wait." She stated.

"Aarrgh...really? More waiting?" Luffy complained, "Fine, I'm going to do something fun."

Luffy was about to leave until Twilight grabbed onto his hand, stopping him. "Wait, Luffy!" She got Luffy's attention, "I was hoping that now we have some free time, I wanted to do some experiments on your Devil Fruit abilities."

"I don't know...it sounds kind of like nerdy, boring stuff."

"If you agree to help me, I will cook whatever you want." Twilight bargain.

"Deal!" Luffy agreed, licking his lips.

Spike looks at Twilight with disappointment, "Really Twilight? You're above using bribery."

"Sorry Spike, but I always wanted to learn more about the Devil Fruits and the effects they have on the people who eat them. And thanks to Luffy, now I have the chance." Twilight stated as she dragged Luffy by the arm back to her Golden Oak Library.

Underneath the library, in Twilight's personal laboratory, she was currently locking Luffy's limbs to the brackets on the metallic table. "Twilight, are you sure this is okay?" He asked his sister. Something in Spike's gut told him this wasn't going to end well...

Twilight picks up her notepad and answers him. "Don't worry Spike. Luffy's body is like rubber, it won't hurt him. But just in case..." Before Twilight could start she turned to the earthborn. "Luffy, let me know immediately if you feel any discomfort or pain."

"Kay," Luffy replied.

Twilight then activated the machine. It began pulling Luffy's arms and legs like a torture table. It kept on stretching out Luffy's limbs until Twilight turned it off. Twilight picks up a tweezer and uses it to pull some of his skin, "Interesting, your skin has the same fundamentals of rubber... " She placed a finger on it, "And it still feels like normal skin." She quickly wrote this down on her notepad. "Ok, let's check the rest of you." She starts to pull out a strand of Luffy's hair, "Hmm, doesn't seem like your hair has the same rubber abilities." She then uses the same tweezer on one of his teeth. "Or your teeth. Let's see about the rest of your bones."

She then brought out an X-ray scanner and used it over Luffy's body. When she turns it on, the screen shows her how Luffy's bones stretched along with the rest of his body. "Incredible! Even your skeleton is stretched out too! I wonder if we fill it up with enough air we can... "

"Hey, Twilight?" Luffy called to her, "This is getting boring, can we stop now?" He asked her.

"Yeah, me too." Spike voices out, "It's really getting uncomfortable watching you going all mad scientist on Luffy."

"I'm not going, mad scientist!" She stated, "But fine." She uses her magic to undo all the locks on Luffy and his limbs snapped back together. "We can move on to the next step."

"This is not better!" Spike shouted, as Twilight had Luffy tied to a seat and placed a metal helmet device with multiple colorful beeping lights on it. Twilight took off Luffy's hat and placed it on a table for safety. "What even is this?!"

"This helmet will send a shockwave of electricity from Luffy's head all the way down to his toes. Since rubber can insulate electricity I am going to see how it will affect Luffy." Twilight explained.

"Hey Twilight, what is this wired helmet for?" Luffy asked as he was picking around with it.

"Luffy, were you paying attention!? I just told Spike that the helmet will electrocute you!" Twilight screamed in outrage but then quickly calmed herself down and said. "Let's just begin."

Twilight activated the helmet and a stream of electricity surged through Luffy's body. "Okay Luffy, the helmet is at 100 volts. How do you feel?" Twilight asked.

Luffy shrugged, "Don't feel anything."

"Really? That's great!" Twilight said, excitedly, "Okay, let's try 200 volts, or 300?" She began to raise the volts of the helmet, She almost looked like a madwoman. "Amazing! You're alright at 1100 volts! You're really made of rubber! Let's see if we can go up another... "

"Twilight," Spike stops Twilight madness to point at Luffy's helmet. "The helmet is starting to break apart!" Spike stated in fear.

And he was right as the helmet was beginning to crack. "Is it supposed to do that?" Luffy asked, not too worried about what was happening.

"No worry guys, I just need to turn this off before it... " Twilight was about to turn it off until the helmet finally blew up, leaving a mess of soot around the three. "Explodes... "

Luffy just laughed the whole thing off, "Well, I guess that was fun!"

"Maybe it's time to take a break," Twilight said, still in shock.

"Alright!" Luffy said as he jumped off his seat. "I'm going to look for something fun!" He then took off but used his gum gum power to retrieve his hat.

Spike looks up at the shocked Twilight, "I guess I'll go get the broom." He left the messy lab and Twilight finally collapsed.

Luffy was walking around throughout Ponyville looking for anything to do for fun. Most of the townsfolk that Luffy walked past waved and smiled at him but Luffy didn't really pay any attention to them. Luffy kept wondering until he spotted Rainbow Dash sleeping on a cloud. He started waving and calling, "Rainbow!"

Hearing her name being called, Rainbow looks down from her cloud and sees Luffy waving to her. She growled at him then asked, "What do you want?"

"I am trying to find something fun to do. Hey, can I play with you until my boat is done?" Luffy asked.

"Why would I want to play with you?"

"Well, for one thing, you're a member of my crew!" Luffy shot back.

"WHAT?!" She shouted back to him, "In case you forget what Applejack told you, none of us are joining you! So just leave me and my friends alone, Straw Hat!" She turned back and tried to return to sleep but Luffy wasn't going to give up. Luffy stretched out both his arms on two buildings to do one of his techniques.

"Gum-Gum Rocket!"

He launched himself toward Rainbow, luckily she woke up on time to see what he was doing and moved out of the way before he could hit her but her cloud got destroyed in the process. "Oops, I missed," Luffy said as he stretched his arm out again.

"WHAT THE TARTARUS DID YOU DO THAT FOR, STRAW HAT!" Rainbow shouted at him but then Luffy stretched out his hand to grab onto her leg, "HEY! What are you doing?!" She asked him.

"Come on Rainbow Dash. I know you have adventure in your blood, why don't you want to join?" Luffy asked, still holding on to Rainbow's leg.

She answered, "Because I have plans way bigger than being a pirate. I'm going to join the Wonderbolts! They are the best aerial acrobatics team in all of Equestria, trained to perform death-defying stunts and since most of them are part of the Equestrian Army, I can't have a pirate reputation on my record." She stated, "Now, get off of me!" She tries to get Luffy off of her by flying around really fast.

Luffy, however, was still holding on to her leg as she zoomed around the skies. It was then that Luffy had an idea... "Hey Rainbow, how about we play this, and if I win then you have to join my crew. Sounds fun, right?" Luffy suggested.

"What?! You must be crazy if you think that this will get me to join your pirate crew." Rainbow stated but then got a wide smirk, "But, lucky for you, I never back down from a challenge!" She began to fly all around Ponyville to get Luffy off from her.

Luffy laughed as she increased her speed, "Now this is exciting!"

Meanwhile back with Twilight and Spike, after they get done with cleaning up the lab, they went outside to look for Luffy. "Come on Twilight, are you sure we should be looking for Luffy?" Spike question.

"Yes! You know the kind of person he is. He will probably find a way to get into trouble, we need to make sure that doesn't happen." Twilight explained.

"You know, you almost sound like you are his mom," Spike stated, barely holding a chuckle

"That's not funny, Spike," Twilight said as she continued looking around until she spotted the mayor holding forms of papers. "Is that the mayor?" She asked.

Mayor Mare was walking throughout the town until she bumped into a female magicborn. She accidentally dropped all the papers she was holding and crouched down to pick them all up. She looked up to the magicborn she bumped into earlier and called out, "Sorry about that miss."

The magicborn girl only replies with, "Pathetic mayor," And coldly walks away from her, leaving the mayor on the floor trying to get her papers reorganized in a sad and defeated state until a voice calls out to her.

"Mayor Mare, it is you." She looked up to see the voice came from Twilight Sparkle as she bent down to help pick up all her scattered papers.

"Oh, Twilight. I've been looking for you and your friends." The mayor told her.

"Really, what do you need me and the girls for?" Twilight asked as she gave back the papers the mayor dropped, she then asked another question, "Also, by any chance have you seen Luffy anywhere?"

The mayor looks almost disappointed and replies with, "Oh, mister Monkey D. Luffy," She turned away from Twilight and Spike to sit in a corner.

Twilight and Spike looked at one another in understanding, then approached the mayor. "Miss Mayor, what's troubling you?" Twilight asked her.

"Well, ever since the Galley incident, everybody has been giving me the cold shoulder because they think I'm a terrible mayor." She said, almost on the verge of tears.

"What?!" Twilight shouted. "Why would people think that?"

"Because of how I handled everything. I told everyone to abandon Ponyville and Galley would have let his crew destroy everything we have if it wasn't for you, your friends, and mister Monkey D. Luffy. I feel like an absolute coward."

Twilight placed a comforting hand on the mayor's shoulder, "You did what you thought was best at the time." She said reassuringly.

"Yes, I didn't want anyone to get hurt and as a leader, I always knew I will have to make choices that not everyone will like. But sometimes I feel like I could never be good enough for this town."

"No one could handle the kind of pressure you have to go through, I certainly can't," Twilight told her.

"But I think you can someday, Twilight." The mayor said. "In fact, one of the reasons I was looking for you and the other bearers is because I owe you all an apology for underestimating your abilities. You all had what it took to stop those dangerous pirates."

"Yes, but I assure you it wasn't easy for us and it was thanks to Luffy we were able to repel Galley and his crew. Mayor Mare, listen to me. Give the people of Ponyville some time to process what happened and they will come to realize you are a great mayor."

"Thank you, Twilight," She thanked her, "And I hope you're right because the last thing I need to hear is everyone wanting to elect mister Monkey D. Luffy as their mayor."

Twilight laughed and said, "Yeah, that's true..." Suddenly loud voices can be heard, the three look up to see Rainbow Dash flying around like crazy with Luffy clinging to her leg.

"Is that Luffy? And Rainbow Dash?" Spike asked.

Twilight nodded, "What are those two doing?"

Rainbow Dash was zooming around buildings, trees, and everything in between to get Luffy loose from her. Luffy avoided everything Rainbow had used to shake him off, all the while enjoying the experience. Rainbow felt the same, but she would never openly admit it. Looking back at Luffy, "Seriously, how are you still holding on?" She bemoaned.

Luffy only answers back with a laugh. "See, This is so much fun!"

"Darn it, there's no way I'm losing to Straw Hat at his own game. Time to pull out the big guns." Rainbow began by flying higher and higher until she dove straight down until she had created a colorful sonic boom, causing her to crash into the ground.

Luffy and Rainbow Dash laid in the crater that they had created. Both of them were exhausted until they began laughing. "Geez Straw Hat, you really are crazy!" Rainbow said as she sat back up.

"Yeah, but that was really fun, especially when you did that crazy rainbow explosion thing!" Luffy shot back up as he said.

"It's called the 'Sonic Rainboom'." Rainbow explained, "It's something that only a few skyborns can do. I've been able to pull it off since I was little."

"Awesome!" Luffy's eyes turn into sparkles, "You will make an awesome crewma... OW!" Luffy cringed in pain as he held his arm.

"You okay?" Rainbow asked in concern.

"Yeah, but I don't get why my arm hurts so much. I'm made of rubber, so why?" Luffy wonders, still holding his arm.

"If you say so," Rainbow said but then realized what Luffy said before, "Hey wait! What did you mean crewmate?! I won the contest!"

"Nah, I was still holding on when we crashed!" Luffy argues.

"Fine, let's do that again, only this time I will win! Let's do this Straw H... I mean Luffy." Rainbow declares but almost looks embarrassed at the last part.

Luffy smiles wide, until... "LUFFY! RAINBOW DASH!" The two look up from the crater to Twilight with half of the townsfolk with her. "What have you done?!" She asked angrily.

"Are we in trouble?" Luffy asked. Rainbow Dash silently nodded in response.

I first want to thanks Hotspot the 626th for giving me the ideas on how Luffy and the main 6 bonds.

Spiel is from One Piece: Romance Dawn, Version 2 one-shot, and episode 907 of the anime.

And Twilight's part is from another My Little Pony and One Piece crossover story called Luffy in Equestria.

Luffy's Crusaders! A Biggest Pirate Party Bash!(Rewrite)

The next day, After Luffy and Rainbow spend all day yesterday cleaning up after their mess. Luffy woke up pretty late with Twilight and Spike woke up before him. Twilight was working on some paperwork and Spike is cooking some blueberry muffins, "You're finally up, Luffy." Spike said.

"Yeah," Luffy replied as he took the blueberry muffins that Spike made and ate them all.

"Hey! Luffy!" Spike yelled to him. "Don't eat all the food like that! I made them for everyone!"

"Sorry," Luffy said with a goofy grin.

Twilight took a break from what she was working on to talk to Luffy. "By the way Luffy. If you are still recruiting people to your pirate crew, what kind of position do you want from them?"

"That's easy," Luffy was about to explain. "First I need a Navigator so we can know where to go, then I want to get a Cook to make some yummy foods and a Musician so we can play a lot of music and sing some songs."

"Pirate singing," Spike claimed, barely holding a laugh. "Now that's ridiculous."

Twilight looks at Luffy with some annoyance. "Luffy, listen, traveling around the sea is no laughing matter. You need crewmates whose positions will be useful right now. Like you do need a Navigator and Cook but you also need a Doctor to take care of any wounds or sickness you could get. And a Shipwright to build you a real pirate ship also repair it." Twilight said to him.

Luffy gave a shocked look to his face and replied. " That's a good point. Hey Twilight, can any of our friends do any of those positions?"

Twilight thought out loud about it, "Well let's see, I am fairly good with maps and direction so I can probably be the navigator. Applejack is really good at cooking and fixing things but I am not so should on how she does on a ship. Fluttershy as a doctor, maybe not since she's only good at treating animals and not people." She continues mumbling about which position her friends would have with Luffy and Spike standing there watching.

"Great, she's going to be at this for a while," Spike muttered.

"Man, Twilight can be really funny!" Luffy laughing.

"By the way Luffy, when we join your crew can I be the Treasure Hunter?" Spike asked the straw hat pirate.

Luffy grins and raises his fist toward Spike. "Sure thing, just be the best Treasure Hunter ever, the King of the Pirates won't accept anything less."

Spike answered with, "You got it!" And fist bump Luffy.

"Hold on there, I think maybe Treasure Hunter should go to Rarity since she has gem finding ability. Oh, also you should get a Helmsman to sail your ship through some hard weather." Twilight stated as she was still babbled but luckily she was breaking out of it by knocking on her door. "Come in." She said as using her magic to open the door.

The person that was at the door was Rarity who came in. "Hello, Darling."

"Hello Rarity," Twilight greeted her. "What brought you here?" She asked.

"Oh Twilight, I just designed some brand new outfit based on a Pirate theme." Rarity said in joy, "And I need Luffy to model some of them." She points toward Luffy.

"What?! Why Luffy?" Twilight asked her.

"Well, for one thing, he's a pirate, and plus our Mr. Luffy is way overdue for a new look." Rarity stated. She then turned her attention towards Luffy. "Well come along Luffy, we have some outfits for you to try." She grabbed onto Luffy's hand and left with Luffy without getting Twilight's permission.

"You could have waited until I said yes," Twilight said in a dry tone.

"Come on Twilight, you know Luffy doesn't belong to you." Spike reminds her.

"I know Spike but I still have a lot of experiments to try before his boat is ready." Twilight stated, "And besides, Rarity didn't wait for Luffy to say yes before dragging him off."

"Yeah, but she's Rarity," Spike said dreamily as Twilight rolled her eyes at Spike's crush on Rarity.

Suddenly, Pinkie broke down the door as she came in. "Hey, Twilight!" She greeted them and started looking around Twilight's home.

"Pinkie?! what are you doing?!"

Pinkie pops up right in front of Twilight's face upside down, Scary Twilight a bit. "Looking for Luffy." She answered as she quickly left, then popped up right down. "Where is he?" She asked.

Twilight claims down and answers. "He just left with Rarity. Why are you looking for him?"

Pinkie looks back at her with a mischievous look on her face. "Oh, I got something big for him."

A few hours later at the Carousel Boutique, Rarity was putting Luffy in many different pirate outfits of her design. Much of them would be fancier with tiny gems on them. Rarity loves them but Luffy, however, looks more annoyed and bored which Rarity notices. Rarity quickly gets out another outfit she thinks Luffy will like. "Well, what do you think darling?"

Luffy opens his eyes in pure amazement. He was wearing a red classic pirate captain coat with a white long-sleeve shirt and black vest under it. And wearing black jeans with stylish boots on his feet. Luffy had stars in his eyes as he replied with, "SO COOL! I LOOK AMAZING!" Luffy starts to drool and cry at the same time.

"Well, I thought the regular pirate attire would be too dull but if by any chance you want me to add each thing just... " She spotted what Luffy was doing, "Aaaaaahhhh! Luffy Stop! you're going to ruin it!" Rarity screams as she uses her magic to clean up Luffy's face with a handkerchief.

"Sorry Rare but this outfit is way cooler than I thought, thanks for making me a badass!" Luffy said, trying to dry his tears.

"You're getting it on your sleeve!" Rarity screams again in worry, "Anywhere, this really suits you quite well mister Luffy. But, I think it is better if you get rid of this old hat of yours." Rarity reaches for the straw hat only for Luffy to grab on to it and step back from Rarity.

"No Way! Don't you dare touch my hat!" Luffy yells at Rarity.

"But Luffy, I have another hat that will work with your new outfit, and plus it looks better than your old hat." Rarity offers a red pirate hat for Luffy.

"I SAY, NO! Shanks trusted me with his hat and I promised him I would keep it safe." Luffy stated, holding his straw hat closely.

Rarity looks at how closer Luffy is to his hat. "You really love that hat, don't you? Alright, at least let me add something to make your hat look a little... decent." Rarity opened a chest and dug through it. She pulls out a feather and places it on Luffy's hat. "Not much of an improvement but I guess this will do for now."

Luffy around looking at his outfit in pure amazement, "Still this is awesome, Rare. Having you as part of my crew will be fun."

"I'm sorry Luffy, But I'm afraid I have to decline your offer." Rarity stated.

"What?! Why?!" Luffy whines.

"Because I have my own goal. I want to run my own Boutique someday, where I can sell clothes that I design myself." Rarity stated proudly, "But, then again. Explore around the world can inspire all kinds of design. But, I really don't want to spend my whole time stuck on an old dirty ship." Rarity now muttering which made Luffy get bored and tired. Rarity finally notices Luffy and stops her muttering. "Sorry dear, hope I wasn't boring you?

"So, can you join?" Luffy asked.

"As I said before darling, I refuse your offer again." Rarity said to him"

"Aw, Fine I just keep asking until you said yes," Luffy stated.

"My, you’re quite the stubborn man, are you." Rarity replied, "Well, we can get back to that later right now I still have some outfits I want you to try out."

Rarity began to put Luffy in many different outfits. One had him dress like a gangster with a black suit and top hat under his straw hat. The next one was him wearing a long black coat with long black pants and a blue undershirt. Another one is a wieldy orange karate gi with a blue undershirt, belt, and boots. The last one was just a monkey suit that Rarity somehow had much to her confusion and to Luffy’s joy.

After a few more charges they went back to the pirate outfit Rarity made. "Ha Ha Ha! Wow, that was more fun than I thought, Rares." Luffy said.

Rarity weakly got up from a pile of clothes. "Well, I'm glad you enjoy that and I hope you will enjoy your new suit?"

"Those are cool but I want my old clothes back now," Luffy told her.

"WHAT!?" Rarity was dumbfounded at Luffy's refusal. "But why would you prefer more fabulous clothes?" She asks him.

"Nah I'm fine wearing fewer clothes anyway, make it easy for me to move," Luffy said.

Rarity reluctantly gave back Luffy's original vest and shorts. "You're the most immature male I ever met, well second.

Sweetie Belle then enters the room. "Hey Rarity, have you seen my... " Before she could ask, she spotted Luffy charging back into his vest. "Luffy!" She squealed as she rushed over to him.

"Hey... Who are you?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy, this is Sweetie Belle, she my little sister. You met her and her friends at the banquet." Rarity explained to him.

"Oh well, nice to see you again." Luffy offers her his hand.

"Thank you and it's nice to meet you again too, Mr. Pirate." Sweetie bowed to Luffy and shook his hand. "Say Rarity, Is it ok if Luffy comes to play with me and my friends?" She asked her sister.

Rarity thought about it. "Well, I still have some more pirate designs I'm working on, but it's ultimately Mr. Luffy."

"What do you say, Luffy? You want to come?" Sweetie asked the pirate.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Luffy quickly answered.

The two looked to Rarity for her answer. "Alright, I guess there is no harm done. Just be careful you two." The two cheered and left the Boutique. Then suddenly, the door burst open with Pinkie coming in.

"Hey Rarity, is Luffy here?" Pinkie asked.

"Oh, I’m sorry dear, you just missed him. He went off to hang out with Sweetie Belle and her friends." Rarity told her.

"Okay, thanks Rarity." Pinkie was about to leave before exclaiming, "Don't worry Luffy, I get your surprise one way or the other, even 'Eiichiro Oda' will not see it coming." Rarity was left confused about who 'Eiichiro Oda' is.

Luffy follows Sweetie Belle to her friend's treehouse with the rest of her friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo being there already. "Hey girls, look who I brought?" Sweetie Belle pointed at Luffy.

"Hey, Sweetie Belle, and you brought the straw hat pirate guy!" Scootaloo said.

Luffy was looking at the girl's treehouse with pure amazement. "Whoa... Is this your guy's treehouse?"

"Sure is, Ah fixed the place up after Applejack gave it to me," Applebloom stated with pride.

"This is the official Clubhouse of the Crusaders!" Scootaloo said.

"Neat... what a Crusader?" Luffy asked.

"We are!" Applebloom stated with the other two standing by her sides. "Anyways, you want to climb up our Clubhouse."

"Yeah!" Luffy said as he stretched out his arm and launched himself toward the treehouse.

As the rest of the Crusaders got inside the Clubhouse the normal way, Luffy was sitting on top of the roof of the Clubhouse and had a simple smile as he had a memory of three little boys having a treehouse of their own. They all lived in that treehouse and sell their time there playing, eating, and would argue who should be the captain. It was the best of times. Luffy had a simple smile as he gazed over the horizon at the town of Ponyville.

"Hey Luffy, are ya coming in or what?" Applebloom called to him from the window. Luffy jumps off the roof and through the window inside the Clubhouse. "What were ya doing up there?" The young earthborn asked.

Luffy chuckled and said. "Nothing."

The three were clearly confused at that. "This guy is weird," Scootaloo commented as Applebloom and Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement.

Luffy looked around the Clubhouse seeing all the stuff that was inside. "This place is really neat! I like it!"

"Well, thank you, Luffy." Applebloom said, "By the way, we were wondering. Ya still looking for crewmates?"

"Sure am." Luffy claim.

"Well, we would wonder... " Applebloom was about to say until Scootaloo cut her off.

"CAN WE BE YOUR PIRATE CREWS!" She shouted.

"Really?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah, you see. We have been trying to find out what we meant to do with your life." Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"Yeah, everyone already knows what they want to be, and we are still trying to figure out what we want to be," Scootaloo said.

"We want to try pirates to see if it is life for us." Apple Bloom finished.

"Sure it is, being a pirate is the best!" Luffy stated.

"Really?" The three Crusaders asked.

"Yeah! Because when you're a pirate, you're free to live however you want!" Luffy told them which the crusaders liked the idea of freedom.

"Ok Captain Luffy, what are our first orders!" Apple Bloom salute.

Luffy raised his fist and shouted, "Let's have some fun!"

"Yeah!" The three cheer.

Then, Pinkie suddenly popped her head out of the window. "Luffy! finally found you." She cheers as she bounces inside the treehouse and tackles Luffy to the ground. "Hi,"

"Oh hi, um... It's Pinky right?"

"No silly, it's Pinkie with an "IE"." Pinkie stated as she helped Luffy back up. "Now come on, let go!" Pinkie pulls on Luffy's arm which only stretches out a lot.

"Where too?" Luffy asked.

"To Sugarcube Corner, I am throwing you a welcome to Ponyville party!" Pinkie stated.

"Really?" Luffy asked, getting in

"Yeah, and besides you are way overdue for one. except for the banquet, we had for you for beating Gally." Pinkie said, "Come on, it's going to be really fun. We will have games, music, food and... "

"Food!" Luffy jumps at the mention of that word. "OK, I'm in!"

"You're going to love it, Captain Luffy," Scootaloo walked toward him. "Pinkie's parties are always the best! Hey Pinkie, can we come too since we are part of Luffy's crew?"

"Wait? You guys join?" Pinkie asked.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle went to Scootaloo's side to answer. "Yeah, we should have!" They all said beaming.

Pinkie thought about what she heard for a second but shrugged it off and said. "Sure!"

"Alright!"Luffy and The Crusaders' cheer.

"Good, Let's go now. It's going to be a long walk back to Ponyville but if we go now... " Pinkie was about to go through the window again until Luffy stopped her.

"I got a better idea to get there."

At Sugarcube Corner, two people were getting all kinds of food out. One of them was an earthborn woman with dark pink whipped cream hair and a big body figure. The other one was an earthborn too, he was tall, skinny, and had short orange hair. The woman earthborn places a plate of food on the table and looks at the other spread of food in worry. "I think we need more." She stated.

"Don't worry honey, we have enough." The male earthborn assures her.

"Have you not seen the banquet? He literally ate everything, even if we have enough, I am afraid that he still will run us out of business!" The female earthborn panicked.

"Excuse me," The two earthborns weren't the only people here, Pinkie invited a lot of town folks to Luffy's welcome to Ponyville party. The one that spoke to them was a young earthborn with short brown hair and a big brown circle birthmark on his right eye. "Mr. Cake, when will Pinkie get here with the pirate guy?" The boy asked.

The male earthborn now called Mr. Cake patted the boy on his head. "Pinkie will be on her way." As he said that, screaming noise can be heard. Everybody steps outside to search for the source of the scream.

They looked up at the sky and saw Luffy soaring with Pinkie, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo riding on his back. The five were having the time of their life. "This is so much fun! Luffy!" Pinkie Scream in joy.

"Ah know, right!" Apple Bloom agrees.

"This is awesome!" Scootaloo cheered.

"Yeah, I... " Sweetie Belle, although having fun, realized something. "Wait a minute. How are we going to land?"

"Uh... captain, did ya have a plan for us to land safely?" Apple Bloom asked Luffy.

"Sure do!" Luffy began to inhale and held his breath.

"Gum-Gum Balloon!"

Then he inflated like a balloon and he bounced stop on buildings until he stopped close to Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo bounced off his belly and landed safely on the ground.

The five gave a hardy laugh, "That was awesome!" Scootaloo squeed.

Pinkie nodded, "Yeah, This was a great plan! Luffy!" She said to the pirate.

Luffy then deflated, "See, I told you." He chuckled.

Mr. Cake and the rest of the party guests were dumbfounded at what they saw. Mr Cake was the only one to respond, "What kind of strange power the fellow has." He walks up to Luffy and Pinkie. "Hey Pinkie, Me and Mrs Cake have everything ready." He turned to Luffy, "Hi son."

"Good, come on in, Luffy!" Pinkie grabs onto Luffy's shirt and drags him inside with the crusaders following them. When they came inside the place was full of food, balloons, pirate themes, and a banner that had 'Welcome to Ponyville, Luffy!' written on it.

"What do you think? Do you like it, Luffy?" Pinkie asked him but he dashed away from her side. Luffy was at a table full of different kinds of food and ate them all, after he was finished he went off to the next table. "Guess that Luffy way of saying, LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie shouted and everyone else cheered as they got this party started.

The earthborn woman now known as Mrs. Cake, just stares at Luffy, "H-He He ate a whole table... " She then collapsed.

The party was a blast and everyone was having a great time, from playing games like pin the tail on the pony that end with Luffy using his fist and making a hole in the wall. Later Luffy and Pinkie have a hotdog eating contest with Luffy winning in the end. Most of the kids were amazed by Luffy's rubber ability and began using him for fun, from jumping on his balloon belly to using his limbs as jump ropes. The party went on until night.

Everybody left already and the ones left were the cakes, the crusaders, Pinkie and Luffy with the latter already falling asleep. Then Applejack and Rarity came in, "Apple Bloom! Are ya here?" Applejack calls her sister.

"Sweetie, It's me Rarity! Please come out!" Rarity called out too.

The two members of the crusaders ran toward their respective sisters. "Hey, Sis!" Apple Bloom greeted her sister.

"It looks like y'all had a great time." Applejack said, hugging her Apple Bloom.

Rarity hugged Sweetie too, then got out a small towel to clear up her a bit, "Sweetie? How on Equestria did you get this much food on your face? Now just hold still and I will handle this."

"Rarity, stop it, please!" Sweetie Belle said in annoyance.

Rarity looked over at Sweetie Belle and saw Luffy sleeping on the floor. "Oh Luffy, this is where you've been." She then spots her pink friend. "I should have known this is where you will take him, Pinkie."

"Yeah, and it was so much fun. You should have seen how much food Luffy was able to fit in his mouth!" Pinkie said.

"By any chance, did Luffy try to reconsider joining his crew?" Rarity asked her.

"Yeah, and I really want to join him. But I can't leave you girls, Gummy, and the whole town behind, I love you all too much to do that to you." Pinkie exclaimed.

"And we are all glad you made the right choice, darling." Rarity patted Pinkie on her head.

The earthborn woman now calls Mrs. Cake walks toward the girls and asks them a question. "Uhn... Girls.... Could you all please get him out of here?" She pointed at the sleeping Luffy who was still somehow eating the leftover. "He's been eating everything since he got here."

"Well, guess we better get him back to Twi's place." Applejack said.

Rarity looked outside at one of the windows and saw that it was almost sunset. "The sun is almost down, I'm afraid by the time we get Luffy back to Twilight it will be too dark for the girls." She pointed at the crusaders.

Applebloom then got an idea. "Ah know, Luffy can stay at our place, sis." She suggested.

"WHAT!" Applejack shouted in surprise.

"Come on sis, It's just for one night." Apple Bloom pleading to her sister. "Please, for me."

Applejack reluctantly agreed, "Fine, we take the runt."

"YEA!" The rest of the Crusaders cheered, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo then ran over to Apple Bloom.

"Don't girls Ah make sure Luffy stays safe tonight." Apple Bloom promised her friends.

"We are courting you, Bloom," Scootaloo tells her.

"See you tomorrow!" Sweetie said.

Rarity however realized something. "Wait, who's going to take dear little Scootaloo home?"

Mr. Cake walks over to the young skyborn. "Don't worry girls, I take this one back to her aunts."

"Well, that's that!" Apple Bloom said as she grabbed onto one of Luffy's legs, "Come on sis, let's get Luffy back to our place."

"Man, I really wanted to hang out with Luffy more." Pinkie whines, "Oh, can Luffy stay a little longer? We can have a sleepover!"

"NO!" Mrs. Cake shouted in worry. Which causes everyone expert for Mrs. Cake and Pinkie to laugh at.

A few minutes later, Applejack and Apple Bloom were dragging Luffy's unconscious body to their home at Sweet Apple Acres. "How in the world can someone who eats like a pig, sleep like a log be so strong!" Applejack grumbled, "It took me a lot of hard work to get as strong as Ah am."

"Yeah, is he amazin'!" Apple Bloom said.

Applejack looked at her sister with some curiosity. "Geez Bloom, since when did ya become a Luffy fan?"

"Oh, since he became meh captain." Apple Bloom just stated.

Applejack was taken aback at what Apple Bloom just said. "What!?"

"Yeah, Ah and the girls decided to be pirates and join Luffy's crew."

Applejack drops one of Luffy's legs and looks down at Apple Bloom. "Please tell me ya jokin' because this not funny!"

"It's no joke, we're going to sail the sea with Luffy!" Apple Bloom declares.

"NO YA NOT! Apple Bloom, a pirate life is no joke! They are always hunted down by bounty hunters, marines, and other pirates! Add, pirates are not it but thieves, liars, and killers!" Applejack stated in a strict tone!

Apple Bloom was a little discouraged after hearing that and then looked back at Luffy. "But, Luffy isn't anything like that."

Applejack sighs and talks to her sister in a soft voice. "Ah know. honesty, Luffy is the nicer bummer of them all, but we can't be sure other pirates. Ya know our family had a nasty run-in with pirates for a long time." Applejack grabs onto Apple Bloom's shoulders, "Please Bloom, ya can't really believe that this is y'all destiny. Look, just think it over and talk about it with your friends. Ok."

"Ok." Apple Bloom said in sadness.

"Good. Now come on, Let's get back." Applejack picked up one of Luffy's legs and Apple Bloom did the same to Luffy's other leg then they continued the trip home but it was now quiet.

Applejack and Apple Bloom finally make it to their home 'Sweet Apple Acres'. It was an avenging farmhouse with fields of apple trees. Applejack opened the front door, then she, Apple Bloom, and the sleeping Luffy came in "We're home y'all!" She shouted.

Two people came out of the other room. One of them was the same huge orange-haired man that Luffy met when the rest of the town folks tied him up. and the other one was a elder earthborn lady. She has a yellow scarf with little apples on it and has her gray hair tied up in a bun. The elder woman walked up to the two. "Applejack and Apple Bloom, where have you two been?" She asked sternly, then noticed the unconscious guest and his straw hat. "And who is this?"

"Sorry Granny Smith, we were carrying a guest for tonight." Applejack pointed at Luffy, "This is Luffy, the pirate guy. Can he sleep here, just for tonight? Please, Granny?"

Applejack's grandmother looked down at Luffy, her face was stern until she took another look at Luffy's hat then her stern face turned into one of a smile. "Sure."

"Really Granny?" Applejack asks in surprise.

"Really Granny?!" Apple Bloom asks with more excitement.

"Mm-hm," She then turned toward the big earthborn, "Big Mac, would you mind taking this one to the guest room." She asked.

"Yup," Big Mac grabbed Luffy and carried him to the other room.

Applejack looked back at her grandmother. "Geez Granny, Ah never thought you would be okay with this."

"Well, let's just say, Ah do own a favor to the original owner of that straw hat." Granny Smith replied.

"Wait, are y'all talkin’ about Shanks? The pirate that gave Luffy his hat? You need to know who he is?" Applejack asked.

"Shanks? You talkin' about his cabin boy?" Granny Smith questions.

"Cabin boy?" asked Apple Bloom.

"Did Ah hear that right? Cabin boy?!" Applejack asked again.

"Eeyup, he was the ship's cabin boy last Ah check and his captain used to own the hat that boy is wearing." Granny Smith claimed.

"Really, how do you know about them, Granny?" Apple Bloom asked.

Granny Smith's chuckled and answer. "Well, it's a story Ah really rather not talk about it." She said in a happy but sad tone in her voice.

"Please Granny, as Luffy's crewmate Ah needs to know details about meh captain." Apple Bloom begged.

Granny Smith's eyes went wide in surprise as she turned toward Apple Bloom. "As his crewmate? Apple Bloom are ya tellin' me that you're joinin' his pirate crew?

Applejack quickly moves Apple Bloom away from Granny Smith, "Bloom! We talk about this." She then turns to her grandmother, "Granny Look, it's just a silly idea from Bloom and her friends but don't worry Ah already talkin' her out of out of this nonsense." She tried to assure her grandmother in worry.

Granny Smith just sigh. "Well Ah hope so, Ah don't want Bloom to get hurt or the other Apples givin' me grief for letting another apple become a criminal."

Applejack and Apple Bloom looked at her in confusion, "Another?" They both said.

Granny Smith then realized what she just said. "Shoot, Ah can't believe let that spill." She walked over to a chair and sat on it. "Ah guess it time Ah tell ya two this story."

Applejack still had that confused look on her face, "Granny, what yall talking' about? What story?"

Granny Smith replies back with a smile. "You two still what to know why Ah know Shanks's captain?" She asked and the two nodded, "Well that's because he was meh captain too."

Granny Smith's Unexpected Past! Bonds Beyond time!

Many years ago, a still old but much younger Granny Smith was picking some apples from an apple tree and with her was a young earthborn male. He has red hair, and green eyes and is wearing a brown cowboy hat. He was helping Granny Smith collect apples by carrying the apples she picked in the basket. She picks one more apple and drops it into the basket, "That's the last of them." She said as she climbed down.

The young man helps her on the way. "Okay Ma, Ah take those to the town." He said, putting the baskets of apples in a wagon.

"Alright, Bright Mac," The young Granny Smith said, dusting herself off. "But Ah go with you to make sure things go right, ya hear?" She said to the young man.

The young man now called Bright Mac nodded and said. "Sure thing, Ma." They then left the farm with the wagon of apples.

In the town, Granny Smith and Bright Mac were handed barrels of different apple products to folks. Bright Mac then noticed that Granny Smith was looking up at the sky and walked over to her. "You okay, ma?"

Granny Smith snapped out of her trance and turned to her son. "Oh, sorry it just," Her gaze returned to the sky, "Ah’ve been living in this place meh whole life and never knowin’ what else is out there."

"What do you mean?" Bright Mac asked.

"Don't worry, Ah not saying Ah want to leave this place. Ah just want to see more out there." She exclaimed.

Bright Mac smiled at her and patted her on the shoulder. "Ah sure you will get your chance someday." He said, assuring her and returning to their duty. Everything was going well until a giant explosion happened in the middle of town. The explosions came from a cannonball that came from a ship but not just any ship, a pirate ship. Five pirate ships appear on the sea and make landed.

The pirates start attacking the town by plundering anything they can get their hands on and attacking anyone they see. The town folks try to run from them especially Bright Mac and Granny Smith who tries to escape with the crowd. "Come on, ma! We have to get out of here!" Bright Mac said as they ran with him, holding Granny Smith's hand.

But then, Granny Smith's hand started to slip from Bright Mac's. "Ah try, but meh hand it slipping!" And to make it worst, the crowd keeps pushing Bright Mac and Granny Smith until their hands finally pull apart from each other, and Granny Smith rolls out of the crowd.

Bright Mac noticed and tried to move back to get her but the crowd kept pushing him away from her. Granny Smith looked up and saw Bright Mac was gone with the huge crowd. "Bright Mac!? Where are y'all!" She shouted, looking for him. but instead seeing the town getting destroyed by the pirates. She got up and fled from the scene but two pirates spotted her and went after her. She moves fast to get away from the pirates, she then turns a corner into an alleyway but reaches a dead-end wall. She tried to turn around but the pirates caught up with her.

"Well, Well, what do we have here?" One of the pirates asked, with sarcasm. "A beautiful earthborn lady all alone."

"Stay back! Ah don't have any money for y'all, So get!" She uttered.

"Oh, we don't need your money." The other pirate placed his hand on her face. "You do just fine."

She then understood what he meant and slapped his hand away from her face. "No way you varmint! Get away from me!" She yells as she tries to swing at them but one of them dodges her and the other one uses the back end of his sword to hit her on the head, "Ouch!" knocking her to the ground, and she blackouts.

When she came through, she found herself in a ship cabin that was full of gold, treasures, and other goods. She tried to move but found out that she was tied up by ropes. This was bad, she was in an unknown place and quiet until someone came in. He was a huge gray ogre man with large hair that was bald on top and wearing a brown vest, long black pants, and brown boots. "Well, Well. We gain a good find here." He mockingly stated as he walked toward her and took a seat in front of her.

Granny Smith looked up at the ogre pirate in anger. "You dirty Pirate! Where am Ah!? What have yer done to meh Bright Mac!?" She growled at him.

The ogre pirate smirks at her and starts to laugh. "No clue, we took everything from that stupid town and left it to burn to the ground." His words left Granny Smith both mad and crying. "But don't worry, we are taking you to some special people that will make a fine bout of you. As a slave." He stated which scared Granny Smith with the fact that she going to be sold as a slave. Then a huge explosion could be heard outside and it caused the ship to shake a bit. The ogre pirate fell off his seat, "What in the world is going on!" He shouted as he walked back to the entrance doors but turned back to face Granny Smith, "You better pay enough for ship repair." His final words to her before he took off.

Now alone, Granny Smith tries in vain to break free as the battle outside goes on. She could hear all the cannons fired, slashes, and bodies dropping coming outside. It went on for hours until everything when silence and a huge cheer followed suit. After a few minutes, someone was trying to get the door of the cabin open. Hearing this, Granny Smith quickly hides in one of the treasures as the door finally opens. Then, two people walked into the chain and spotted the treasures. "Look at all that gold." one of them said.

"Yeah, let's get these back to the ship." The other said. And the two began to carry the treasures out of the cabin and as one of them lifted the last one he noticed the tied-up Granny Smith. "Hey Boss, we got someone." He said to the other.

And the other one was an earthborn male with slicked back hair and wearing glasses. He walks toward the two and stares down at Granny Smith. "Well, this is a problem." He stated while stroking his own chin.

Outside up deck, a bunch of men dress as pirates were walking back to another pirate ship while a few are beat up and knocked to the ground. The two pirates step out of the chain into the upper deck and make their way toward a male magicborn with black hair that is covering his eyes and wearing a straw hat. "Captain." The earthborn with the slicked back hair called to him.

The straw hat magicborn turned to them with a huge grin on his face. "Oi, took you guys long enough. So, what did you find?" He asked. The pirate with slicked back hair earthborn shows him the tied up Granny Smith. "Who's this?"

"We don't know, we found her around the crew's treasures." The slicked back hair earthborn told him.

"I see," The straw hat magicborn answer as looks at Granny Smith who is staring dagger at him.

"What goin' on!? Why are some of yer on the ground!? What game are ya playin'!?" She shouted at the straw hat magicborn.

Then, he explained to her. "Oh, we are not with the guys who did that to you. We just fought these guys and just taking their stuff."

"You still pirates, are ya." Granny Smith asked, coldly.

"Yeah, guess you're right on that." The captain said, he looked at her carefully while she still looked at him with anger. He then smiled and said this to her. "Hey, how about I take you too?"

"Huh?"

Later on, The other pirates make it on board their ship with the original crews' treasures and Granny Smith. On the ship, Granny Smith was standing face-to-face with the captain and the rest of the crew surrounding them. "Stay away from me!" Granny Smith shouted at him.

The straw hat magicborn holds out his hands in defense. "Whoa, calm down missy."

The rest of the crew were laughing at the scene. "Man, this woman is a riot!" One said, chuckling.

Granny Smith rushed toward the straw hat captain, trying to punch him but he dodge at the last second and fall to the ground. "Hey, what was that for?" He asked in a friendly tone.

"That ya think?! You took me like Ah you're darn prize!" She stated, bitterly as she got back up.

"Well, you didn't want to stay with these guys that were about to sell you as a slave. I thought it would be better for you to be part of our crew." He told her.

"You're still pirates! You're no better, Yer probably going to do the same! Plus, Ah would never join ya!" Granny Smith said.

The magicborn captain rubs his chin, "Hum. Well, if that's how you feel, then we can just send you back to your hometown." He suggests, "Tell us where you're from?"

"What!? No way! Meh home has already been attacked by pirates, ya probably would do the same." Granny Smith stated.

"Come on,"

"NO!" She shouted out loud, "Ah don't trust any of you!"

Seeing her stubborn attitude, the straw hat magicborn turns around and walks away from her. "Do as you wish." He said to her.

Granny Smith was angry at his action and ran toward him for another attack but like before he moved out of the way at the last second and Granny Smith ended up falling on the floor. The rest of the crew laugh at that, "Yup, this woman is going to be fun." One of them chuckled.

And it went on like that for a few days. Every time the captain walked around the ship or the pure sight of him, Granny Smith would try to attack him. Like when he was walking on deck she comes from behind and tries to hit him but he dodge again and she end up hitting the floor. The next time, The captain was resting on a wall, Granny Smith climbed on top of the wall and jumped down to attack him but ended up getting tossed aside. And next, he opens a door and runs at him with a sword but he knocks it away from her. It went on like this for days.

The next morning, Granny Smith was sitting down, covered in some dirt, and bruises, and with exhausted expressions. She was seated with her arms wrapped around her knees and head down. "Man, this is a sorry sight." A voice said to her, Granny Smith lifted her head up to see where the voice came from. The person was a young earthborn boy with light blue hair and a huge red nose. "I wonder how many failures you can take until you finally break?" He mocks her while Granny Smith looks at him angrily.

Then the red nose earthborn got hit in the back of the head and the person who did it was a young magicborn boy around the earthborn boy age with red hair. "Come on Buggy, don't be mean to our guest." The boy scolded him and then turn to Granny Smith, "Sorry about him, he always likes to act like a mean pirate." Granny Smith just glared at him. "My name is Shanks and this dummy is Buggy." He introduces himself and the earthborn next to him.

Then the earthborn now called Buggy pulled on Shanks' cheeks. "What the Hell, Shanks!? W did you hit me and who are you calling a dummy!?" The two start fighting while Granny Smith watches on miserable.

Then someone else appeared with a plate of food in his hand. "Alright boys, that's enough." He said to the young pirates which their do so, the person is the male earthborn with the slicked back hair and glasses. He walked toward and knee down to Granny Smith and handed her the food. "Morning, breakfast from the chief." Granny Smith turns away from him and the earthborn face turns serious. " Look, as much fun as your actions are, what exactly is your endgame? It's clear that you don't want to be here but you're not planning on telling us where you live, so how are you going to get back? Even if you can kill the captain, there are still the rest of us that are ready to avenge him. And even if you can beat us, you have no idea where in Equestria you are or how to sail this ship." As she listens to him, she realizes that her actions until now are pointless. "Look, it's okay for you to have this hatred toward pirates after what you experienced, but there are times you have to swallow that hatred and foolish pride to do what is best for yourself and the people around you." He got up and turned to leave, "If you really want to escape without our help, you can wait until we reach an island to seek off. You might find someone there that can help you get back. Do whatever you want, just make sure it's the right choice." That was the last thing he said before taking off.

Granny Smith, Shanks and Buggy were left stunned at what the earthborn said but buggy quickly recovered and said to Granny Smith, arrogant. "Yeah, Rayleigh is right. Quit being an idiot and do the right thing." He then walks off with Shanks following him.

"He he he, sometimes I think he just likes hearing himself talk." Shanks jokes.

Granny Smith was alone again to think about what the earthborn said. She stares at the food he left, picks up and takes a bite from it. "Eww, disgusting. What we originally had before the apples was much better." She put down the food and looked up in sadness.

Then out of nowhere, a cannonball almost hit the ship, making a huge splash as it hit the water. The cannonball came from an enemy ship and not just any enemy ship. "A vessel is coming from the northeast!" One of the crew that was on lookout callout. Granny Smith rushed to the rails to see the enemy ship, she looked over the horizon and spotted the ship but her eyes went wide once she saw that the enemy ship was the same one that attacked her home town and kidnapped her.

"No way," Granny Smith was now trembling in fear. "Why are they back? How did they find me?" She began to step back away from the rails in fear until the captain and the earthborn with the slicked-back hair placed their hands on her back, stopping her.

They both look over at the enemy ship coming toward them. "Wow, I don't know whether I should be impressed that they find us so soon or that they recover so quickly." The magicborn captain stated, proudly.

"Don't compliment them, you idiot!" The earthborn yells at the captain while hitting him on the head. "It looks like they'll come back for revenge or to get their treasure?" He then turned back to Granny Smith. "All their treasure."

The captain stepped forward. "Well, it looks like we need to teach them another lesson." He then turns to face the rest of his crew. "Alright men, let's give them hell!" He shouted and the rest of the crew cheered with their weapons in hand.

The captain ran toward the fight but before the earthborn with slicked-back hair could follow, he pulled Granny Smith aside to talk to her. "Look, it's better for you to hide for now. Those guys may want all their treasures back, including you." Before he can go off, "Or, with all of us focused on the battle, you can escape without any side's notice. Your choice." Then he leaves.

As soon as the ships were close to each other, "Attack!" All the crews start fighting each other. As all the pirates continued to punch and slash at each other, Granny Smith was hiding around making sure she was not noticed by any of the pirates. Then, she noticed a dinghy boat out in the open. Seeing this as her chance to escape, she takes it.

She quickly moves around to avoid any of the pirates and heads to the boat. She pushes off the ship into the sea and jumps right into it. "Ok, time to gets goin'." She grabs a paddle, getting ready to leave but realizes it. "Wait, where will Ah be goin'?" She questions herself, remembering the earthborn's words about her really not knowing where she is. "Maybe Ah can really find a island soon that can help." She said to herself, "Anywhere is better than here."

Then, someone else jumped into the same dinghy boat that Granny Smith was in. When Granny Smith looked up, she saw the person that was on the boat with her, was the ogre pirate who smiled down at her, wicked. "Found you." As he said that, Granny Smith’s blood ran cold. "Those idiot pirates probably spent most of our treasures. But with you, I make a ton more back by selling you to some rich asshole from the black empire!" As he kept talking, Granny Smith's face went from shock to enrage.

She starts using the paddle to hit the ogre on the face. "This is all yer fault!" She continued to swing the paddle at him, making him dodge it, easily. "You took everything from me! Meh home, meh family, give it back!" Then the ogre breaks the paddle apart with his sword, Then grabs Granny Smith by the throat and slams her to the floor.

"Enough of this foolish game. Now, behave yourself or I might have to break you a bit." He threatened but then Granny Smith threw a rock in his eye, making him scream in pain. "You little... " He shouted and was about to stab her with his sword.

But, the sword never went through her. She opened her eyes and saw something unbelievable, the straw hat magicborn captain appeared on the boat and took the stab for her, the sword went through his back to his left chest with blood coming out.

Both Granny Smith and the ogre pirate were shocked at the action of the magicborn captain. Before anyone could do anything, the straw hat captain back fist the ogre out of the boat. Then, he removed the sword and turned to face Granny Smith. "You okay?" He asked her while smiling and covering his wound with his hand.

She stares at him in confusement, this man who she saw as no better than the pirates who kidnapped her, the same man she herself has been trying to kill ever since she met him. Just got himself seriously hurt to save her. "W-wh... Wha.. Why?" She stuttered to come up with the words.

Then out of nowhere, a huge shark appears and it swims toward the three with its jaw open. "Oi! Time to move!" The magicborn captain then carries her in his arms(bridal style) and jumps them back to the ship. The ogre pirate tried to escape by swimming but the shark caught up with him and ate him along with the dinghy boat. Granny Smith and the captain saw the scene with their own eyes. Granny Smith covers her mouth in shock while the captain tips down his hat. "That a shame, the sea can be unforgiving place for anyone included pirates." He stated.

Then, the crew gather with the two after defeating the rest of the enemy pirates. "Wow, that was crazy! You okay?" One of the crewmates asked them.

"Yeah we both fine." The captain answers, not mentioning his stab wound which shocks Granny Smith.

"What! No, he’s lying! That ogre stabbed him through his back!" She told everyone.

"What!?" The rest of the crews shouted.

"Let me see it!" The slicked-back hair earthborn rushed over to him and checked for himself.

"Relax, it's not that bad." The captain said, trying to brush it off.

But once the earthborn got a good look at the stab wound. "Are you kidding me!? I can almost see right through it!" He shouted, then he and a few other crewmates grabbed the captain. "Come on, we are taking you to get medical treatment!" He stated as they take the captain away, much to his protest and Granny Smith was left to process all of this.

Late into the afternoon, Granny Smith was sitting in a corner waiting for news about the captain. With her was Shanks and Buggy, while the latter was walking around in a panic, the former was just hanging down his head. Then, the earthborn with the slicked-back hair stepped out from the door and the three ran over to him. "How is he?" Shanks asked.

"Please tell us he's going to make it?" Buggy asked, almost to the verge of tears.

He gave them a soft smile and said, "He’s going to make it but we need to take him to a real doctor soon."

The boys exhale in relief. "Ha, I knew the captain would pull through." Buggy said, trying to hide his tears.

"Come on, let's see him." Shanks said as he and Buggy tried to see the captain but the earthborn stopped them by grabbing their heads.

"No way, the captain needs to rest and it’s hard to make him do so even without you two." The earthborn told them and turned them away. Then Granny Smith walked up to the earthborn. "Ha, guess it's too bad for you he survived." He playfully jokes.

Granny Smith had her head low but spoke to him. "Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why did he do that for me!? After all Ah said about you guys and all the times Ah tried to kill him. Why would he save me!?" She asks, breaking down into tears.

"Well, that's just the person he is. He always was a man of impulse, started fights out of nowhere, said some unpredictable things and he even started this pirate crew because he found me when I used to own a house boat." The earthborn explain.

'Geez, this man sounds like he would be a pain to deal with.' Granny Smith thought.

He continued, "But, he’s somehow a man you can rely on and can make the impossible possible. That's why me and the rest of the crew are going to follow him until he reaches his goal."

Granny Smith still felt ashamed about everything that happened and then faced the earthborn. "Can Ah see him? Ah promise not to hurt him anymore." The earthborn nodded giving her his permission and then she moved to the door to the captain.

She walks down the stairs and enters the room where the straw hat magicborn is. He had bandages wrapped around his chest and right shoulder, he was seated on a bed with a bottle in his hand. "Oh, There you are. What, you want another shot?" He jokingly asked. "Well you probably might hit me this time." He then laughed.

Granny Smith didn't answer or reply to anything he said but after a few seconds, she finally said something. "Maria Ann Sherwood"

"What?"

"Meh name, it's Maria Ann Sherwood and Ah from a place called Ponyville."

After she finally told the captain where she came from, She, the captain, and the slicked-back hair earthborn were at a roundtable looking at a map. "Let's see here, Ponyville." The earthborn drew his finger around the map, looking for Ponyville. "Oh,"

"You found it?" The captain asked.

"Yeah but, the island where this Ponyville is on is too far away. It would take us months to get there. Plus if we do go, it will knock us off course to our original destination." The earthborn explain.

"Can we still get there?" The magicborn asked.

"Yes." The earthborn reply.

"Then it's settled, We changing course and headed to Ponyville." The captain decided.

But the earthborn and Granny Smith were taking a back at the captain's decision, Granny Smith then talked to him. "Are you really sure about this? Just simply changing your direction for someone like me?" She asked and the captain nodded with a smile. Then, Granny Smith gained a serious look on her face. "Well if that's the case, then I have an offer for you."

The next morning, The whole crew gathered around the captain and Granny Smith. The captain steps forward to face his crew and make an announcement. "Alright, everyone listen up. I'm afraid we are going to change our original course!" The rest of the crew gasped and had confused looks on their faces. Then, the captain pulled Granny Smith to his side and continued. "We are headed to a place called Ponyville, that is where our special guest is from and where we are going to return her. But in exchange for us delivering her home, Smithy here offered to work as our temporary cook." He said, placing a hand on Granny Smith's shoulders, smiled at her and she did the same. Half of the crew were unsure about this decision but the other half included the earthborn and Shanks were more into it. After a few more times, the rest of the crew were now on board with it and gave a loud cheer to confirm it. "Glad that's settled! Welcome to the crew, Smithy!" The captain patted her really hard on her back.

Then, the rest of the crew walk over to congratulate her. "Welcome on board, lady." One of them said, joyfully.

"Yeah, it's gonna be fun having you around!" Shanks stated, happily.

Buggy just scoffed. "Yeah right. Whatever, she can stay."

The earthborn walks over to Granny Smith and places a hand on her shoulder. "Looks like you made a great choice."

"Yeah." She simply said with a grateful smile.

"And that was it. For months Ah traveled throughout the east blue with them. It was a lot of fun, Ah mainly served as the cook and made meh apple recipes for the crewmates. We visited many different islands and met strange things. Some were fun, others were insanely dangerous. But it was those places where Ah learns different recipes that help me improve on meh our apple recipes. We got into a lot of trouble with the navy and other pirates, Ah did meh best to stay out of many of them but Ah did pitch in at times. Even if most of the time it was dangerous, honestly, the time spent with them was the best time of meh life, but it had to end."

After many adventures, the ship has finally reached Ponyville and the town looks good as new, almost like it wasn't attacked by pirates a couple of months ago. Granny Smith looked over to the horizon at her home town. "This is it, Ah finally home." She said with a tearful smile.

The ship moved closer and dock when it got near to the land, Granny Smith was holding her bag then turned to face the rest of the crew. The straw hat magicborn walks up to her. "Well, I guess this is it. It was nice having you, Smith." He patted her head.

Then Shanks walked up to her. "Are you sure you have to leave? Can you stay a little longer?" He asks, a little bit sad.

"Sorry, but meh place is there with meh family." She said to the young man but gave him a soft hug.

Buggy turned away from her with his arm crossed. "Ha, guess we should have known you wouldn't be cut out for the life of a pirate. Fine, just go back to your boring life, see if we care.”

Granny Smith went over to him and gave him a soft hug too. "Ah miss you too, Buggy." She said, making him blush.

"Smith," The straw hat magicborn spoke to her, "Ready to go?"

"Yes captain." She grabs her bag and walks over to him.

"Hey Smith!" Then, the earthborn with the slicked-back hair called out to her. "Take care." He simply said.

"Got it." She replies toward him then she and the captain jump off the ship and into the land. “Goodbye ya!” She waved the rest of the crew off And the crew did the same with most of them crying her goodbye. She waves them off and follows the captain to the town.

Granny Smith and the captain were walking for an hour and when they reached the town, they saw the town folks pointing pitchforks and other objects at them. "Get out of our town, pirates." One of them told the two.

"That right, get out of here!" Another one said.

One more step forward to them. "We’re not gonna' let y'all take anymore from us!" As he said that, his voice sounded familiar to Granny Smith. She looked up and saw a young earthborn but not just each earthborn, her own son.

"Bright Macintosh?" Granny Smith said with bright eyes.

The earthborn looked more closely at the two but noticed Granny Smith. Once he did, he dropped his pitchfork and started to tear up. "Ma?" He softly asked and Granny Smith nodded in response. He ran over toward them and gave Granny Smith a huge hug. "You're back, you really back!" He said while crying. Granny Smith cries too and returns the hug with her own. Then Bright Mac turned back to the crowd. "Hey fam, get over here! Ma is back!" He called out.

Then a few earthborns appear out of the crowd and once they notice Granny Smith, they each start to cry. They ran over to her and start hugging her too. "Goldie Delicious! Auntie Applesauce! Apple Rose! Everyone!" Granny Smith calls each of them. It's soon revealed that the group of earthborns were all of Granny Smith's relatives, her family.

It was a happy reunion. With a smile on his face, the magicborn turned and left. Back with the family, an older earthborn just releases Granny Smith from his hug and looks at her with a tearful smile. "It's so good to see you again. But, how did you get back?" He asks her.

"Oh, it was thanks to..." She turned around to answer but saw the magicborn walking away. "Captain? Where are ya goin'!?" She shouted but he didn't reply. But Granny Smith just smiled and waved at him, "Thanks for everythin'! Good luck on yer journey!" She shouted, At that, the captain finally responded by raising his arm and waving goodbye to her too.

Back in present day

Applejack and Apple Bloom mouths were open wide after Granny Smith finished her story. "Y-you really join a pirate crew?" Apple Bloom asked, still in shock.

"Yup. It's strange, it happened years ago but Ah still remember it like it was yesterday." Granny Smith said.

"Ah don't believe it, How come we just hearin' about this right now?" Applejack question.

"Well, When Ah told everybody what happen to me on those ships, most of them were in shock when Ah told them by the fact Ah was about to be sold as a slave and in disbelieve that the pirate crew Ah travel with was good people. So, they mostly kept quiet about it to help me get over it.” Granny Smith explained.

“Oh, Ah sorry that happened to you, granny.” Applejack said to her grandmother.

“Don’t be. Honestly, thanks to the time Ah spent with them Ah was able to forget that Ah was far from home and Ah was about to be sell as a slave.” Granny Smith stated, joyfully but her granddaughters faces went pale after hearing the word “slave”.

Bloom recovers and asks a question. “So, if you were part of a pirate crew then does that mean Ah can be a part of Luffy's crew?” She asked, hopefully.

“No!” Both Applejack and Granny Smith said but Applejack shouted a bit.

“But, Granny you were…” Apple Bloom was about to point out.

“Only join to get back home. Leaving Ponyville wasn't my choice in the first place but having a way to get back was.” Granny Smith explained to her. “And besides Bloom, You are too young to be traveling in the dangerous sea.”

"Ya hear that Bloom, this is the last Ah want to hear about this pirate business. Got it?" Applejack asked her sister.

“Okay,” Apple Bloom answers with a grumble. “Ah’m going to bed. Night Y'all.” Apple Bloom got off her seat and went to her room.

Applejack sighs. "Well, Ah'm glad that's over. Ah better send a message to Twilight to tell her where Luffy is." She got up from her seat.

But then, "Applejack," Her grandma called to her. "Tell me, what do you think about that straw hat boy?" She asked.

"Oh well, Ah mean for a pirate he's not really a bad person." Applejack tries to explain.

But Granny Smith stops her. "Ah'm not asking what you think of him as a pirate, Ah'm asking what you think of him as a person."

"Oh, well, honestly Ah don't know how to feel about that guy. Ah mean he's annoying, rude, and can be crazier than Pinkie Pie and he can make me so mad at him Ah just want to punch him. But for some reason Ah can't find myself hating him."

Granny Smith smiled a bit. “So, he's looking to recruit you and your friends into his crew?”

“Yeah but don’t worry Granny, we all said no. We are just letting him stay until he gets his new boat.” Applejack explained. Granny Smith nodded and smiled at her response. “Well, Ah better get started on that message. Night Granny.” She was about to leave but stopped to ask Granny Smith a question. "Umm Granny, it's a bit late to ask, but why did you tell us that story?"

"Oh, it's just, seeing that straw hat again just makes me feel a little nostalgic, that's all." Applejack nodded and then left. Granny Smith was now alone with her thoughts. "So that boy inherited your hat from your old cabin boy, he must had a good reason to do that. From what Ah heard so far this boy reminds me a lot of you. Will he be the one to find that same thing you did? Roger?"

Author's Note

You guys have no idea how much work I put into this chapter. I had to rewrite the draft for this chapter so many times, I had to change the idea. Originally, I had it to Applejack's father Bright Mac to join Roger's crew but it might interfere with his relationship with Pear Butter. Then, it was Granny Smith but I couldn't find any good ideas that she would willingly leave her family including her own son.

And I try to be as vain as possible with the ages of Bright Mac, Shanks, and Buggy. And the crew because I'm not sure about the timeline on both One Piece and MLP but I want to be around Roger's early year, way before Crocus joins the crew.

And Granny Smith's name in this. I wanted to use her real name in this since it can't have always been Granny Smith. I look online and found Maria Ann Sherwood.

An Apple and Straw Hat Tussle! Find Your Courage, Fluttershy!

The next morning, Luffy just woke up, and stretched his arms. When he was doing that, he noticed that he was in an unfamiliar place. "Where am I?" He questions.

Then, Big Mac appears in front of him. "Morning, you." He greets the straw hat pirate.

Luffy looked at him in confusion, "Who are you?" He asked Big Mac.

"My name is Big Macintosh or Big Mac, we met before when you first came here."

Luffy looked closer at him and after a few seconds, he finally recognized him. "Oh yeah, you were that big guy that tied me up!" Luffy pointed out.

Big Mac looked down in shame, "Yeah, sorry about that." He apologized while rubbing the back of his head.

Luffy was still confused about his new location. "So, where am I?" Luffy asked.

"Oh, you're at meh family house. Meh sisters took you in after you fell asleep from the party." He explained.

"Sisters?"

"Eeyup, Applejack, and Apple Bloom are meh little sisters." Big Mac answered him.

"Wait!? Really!? You're really their brother!?" Luffy asked while shouting, then he started sniffing around. "Is that pancakes?" He asked while drooling.

"Yeah, Ah think Applejack is makin' a few... " But before Big Mac could finish, Luffy already got out of bed and jump out of a nearby open window, "pancakes." He finally finishes as he watches Luffy's action.

Luffy landed on the ground and rushed toward the smell of the food. He makes his way to the kitchen and sees Applejack making breakfast. She was stacking a huge platter of pancakes and putting them on the table. And seated on the table was Apple Bloom and Granny Smith with other food on the table. Apple Bloom notices Luffy entering the kitchen, sniffing the breakfast. "Mornin’ Luffy, sleep well?" She greeted him.

Luffy smiled at her, "Morning AppleBloom and Applejack!" He then noticed Granny Smith, "Hey, who’s the old lady?" He asked bluntly.

Then, Applejack ran behind him and smacked him in the back of his head. "Don't be so rude, Luffy! That meh grandmother "Granny Smith", now apologize, ya hear!" Applejack yells at him.

Granny Smith just laughed it off, "Don't worry about it, dear. It's very nice to finally meet you son." She greet him then she pointed at Luffy's hat, "That hat you're wearin', you got it from Shanks?"

"Yeah, he gave it to me a long time ago," Luffy took off his hat and smiled at it. "Wait, you know Shanks!?" Luffy asked in shock.

Granny Smith nodded, "Yup, he was an old friend of meh. Tell me, how is Shanks doing now of days."

"I don't know, I haven't seen Shanks since he left my hometown," Luffy smiles at his hat, "but I know he's doing just fine."

Granny Smith nodded while smiling. "Yeah, that hat you're holding is very important. I hope ya know that."

"Yeah, I know it's my most important treasure. And I promised him that I would give it back to him once I become king of the pirates." Luffy answers while putting his hat back on and smiles.

The two Apples smile and laugh at Luffy, while Applejack looks annoyed. "Ok, enough pirate talk," Applejack placed the last stack of pancakes on the table. "Let dig in, y'all,"

"Alright! You too Luffy, take a seat!" Apple Bloom cheer.

"Yeah!" Luffy took his seat and everyone began eating by taking a stack of pancakes and biting down on it.

"Luffy, don't eat too much, save some for the rest of us." Applejack scolded Luffy as she was trying to eat. Then, Big Mac entered the kitchen.

He then spotted Luffy, "I see he found his way here." Big Mac stated. "So, what are today's menu?" He asked to turn toward Applejack.

Applejack swallows and answers, "Same as usual, Ah'm on apple buckin' and you on delivery." She stated.

"Oh, can Ah come with Big Mac? Ah can help." Apple Bloom asked, exciting.

"Eh, sure, why not?" Big Mac answered her, then later he looked toward Applejack for her answer.

"Alright, just make sure Apple bloom doesn't get into any trouble." Applejack said to them.

"You got it, sis!" Apple Bloom agrees.

"Eeyup," Big Mac added.

Granny Smith smiled at that then towards Applejack, "Hey Applejack, why not have Luffy joined you?"

"What?! Why?" Applejack questions her grandmother.

"Why not? It would be good for the boy to help you out a little since yer be buckin' apple alone." Granny Smith stated.

"Ah don't know, Granny. The fella should be gettin' back to Twilight, and Ah don't feel like takin' advantage of him... '' Applejack explained but then noticed something and the other three apples turned to see it. All the breakfast foods were gone and the person responsible was Luffy with his full belly.

"Ah! He ate everythin'!" The whole Apple family all said in unison and Luffy's only response was a belch.

Applejack stares daggers at Luffy, "Never mind, Ah puttin' him to work."

Out in the apple fields, Applejack drags Luffy there and stops at a tree with a bucket. "Wow, you guys have so many apples. Can I eat them?" Luffy asked with saliva coming out of his mouth.

"Pay attention Luffy!" Applejack shouted, then she walked next to the tree. "Ah'm gonna show you how to do our job." Applejack demonstrates by holding up her leg and kicking the tree with enough force that the apples fall from the tree and into the bucket.

"Whoa! So cool!" Luffy was amazed by Applejack's demonstration.

"Okay, now it's yer turn, Luffy." Luffy nodded and walk toward the tree, "Remember, just enough to knock down the apples."

Luffy nodded again and began pushing back his leg but he then stretched it far back. Applejack's eyes go wide in horror as she knows how this will end.

"Gum-Gum Apple Buck Kick!" Luffy shouted as his leg stretched back as he kicked the tree with a lot of force. The tree breaks off from its roots and sends flying into the sky. "Oops, sorry." Luffy apologizes.

"Damn it, Luffy! Ah told you not to put that much force into it!" Applejack yells but then covers her face and lets out a sigh. "Never mind, just help me collect the apples that fall off."

"Okay." Luffy said.

Applejack sighs and just collects the apples that fall earlier. "Just make sure, you don't eat them." She handed them to Luffy and moved toward the next tree.

Applejack has been doing her apple bucking for a few hours and turning around to make sure Luffy didn't eat any of them, he tries to sneak one bite but Applejack quickly catches him before he does. "How much longer do we have to do this?" Luffy asked, seated next to the apple buckets.

"Probably for a few more hours. We only cover half of the fled." Applejack started looking around the apple field.

"This is boring, let's do something fun now!" Luffy suggested.

"No way, we still have a lot of apples to buck." Applejack explained.

"Man, you're boring." Luffy blunt stated.

This however, set off Applejack as her face turned red. "Well excuse me for not wanting to be a lazy pirate like y'all!" She shouted. Seeing her reaction Luffy burst out laughing. "Why the hay are ya'll laughin' at?!"

"Your face, it's really funny!" Luffy answers while still laughing. Applejack was getting annoyed and turned away from the laughing Luffy. "Man, wish Ace was here, he knows how to make this." Luffy said as he stopped laughing.

"Ace, who's Ace?" Applejack turned and asked.

"He's my big brother. He left our home island two years ago to become a pirate too. When we were together he knew how to make everyday fun." Luffy stated in nostalgia.

Seeing Luffy reminisce, Applejack asks. "Said Luffy, why are you so gunged ho to become the pirate king?"

"I want to see the whole world and I want to be free."

"Free?"

"Yeah, Pirates are the most free people in the world. We can go anywhere we want and do anywhere we want! Does that sound awesome or what?" Luffy turns back to Applejack and asks.

"Ah... Guess," Applejack answered, awkwardly.

"See, that's why I want you, Twilight and the others to be a part of my crew."

“Luffy, for the last time I don’t want to join your crew.” Applejack answers in frustration. “Plus, Ah can't think of abandoning meh own family like that!"

"Is that all? That's fine, we can always come back once I find the one piece." Luffy simply stated.

"It's not that simple Luffy! They need me here, if Ah gone the whole farm will fall apart." Applejack stated her reason. “Ah mean, don’t you feel the same?”

“What do you mean?” Luffy question.

“You said yer have a brother, are you worried he will get in some kind of trouble out there? And what about yer parents, what if they get hurt too?” She asked him.

Luffy began ponder at Applejack’s question for a second, “Well, I don’t really have a mom or dad, I have a grandpa but I’m not really worried for them.” He stated which shocked AJ, “Ace and Gramp are way stronger than I am plus, we choose our own path so we can’t really worry about each others.” He said and before Applejack could ask further.

"Applejack!" A voice called out to her and it was coming from Fluttershy who was running toward them.

"Shy?" Applejack said as she caught Fluttershy by her shoulder, "What wrong with you, Sugar?" She asked, worried for her friend.

"My animals, my animals are missing!" She answered with tearing eyes.

"Animals? Did that mean you have meat to share?" Luffy asked with his tongue out.

"NO! They're my friends, not food!" Fluttershy tells him with fear.

"Ahh... Okay." Luffy reply.

Applejack quickly said, "Never mind him Shy, just calm down and tell me what happened?"

Fluttershy took a moment to collect herself and explain to the two. "Okay, I was taking Angel and the others until Angel teased Harry and those two got into a fight. And the animals got scared and started running over."

"Okay, do you know where they wonderin' off too?" Applejack asked.

"Well... "

The three end up next to a creepy looking forest, "The Everfree forest!" Applejack cried out loud, "Of all places, they end up here." She let out a defeated sigh.

Applejack and Fluttershy stare at The Everfree forest with fear. "What are we waiting for?" Luffy asked as he grabbed both of their arms, "Let's go!" Then pull them into the forest.

"Wait Luffy!" Applejack and Fluttershy both said as they tried to stop Luffy. Applejack holds Luffy's arm but the arm ends up getting stretched out, while Fluttershy had her feet dragged by the dirt.

Luffy looks back and sees the two trying not to enter. "Why? What's wrong?" He questions as he stops.

Applejack let go of his arm and it stretched back into him as she explained. "The Everfree forest is a dangerous place."

"She's right, it's full of dangerous creatures, animals that care for themselves, monster plants and other scary things." Fluttershy finished.

"Really?" Luffy responded with an excited expression, "You guys should have told me about this place, it sounds like fun!"

"What?! No! Luffy, that forest is not a playin' place! Me and mah friends almost die everytime we go there." Applejack tries to explain.

Luffy continues pulling Fluttershy into the forest, "Come on Fluttershy, let's get your animals back!" He stated.

"But Luffy, I can't!" Fluttershy protested but Luffy didn't listen and dragged both of them into the forest, worrying for her friends, Applejack fellow after them. The three enter the forest and start searching for Fluttershy's animals. "Angel! Where are you?" Fluttershy cried out but got spooked when she heard some rustling.

Luffy looks at the place in amazement much to Applejack's worry. Luffy walks up to a giant meat eater-plant that almost bites him if Applejack didn't pull him away. "Luffy, be careful!" She warned him but Luffy did not listen to her.

"Man, this place is so cool!" He laughed.

"Seriously, how can you enjoyin' this?" Applejack question.

"Why not? Plus, it reminds me of the place where I grew up." Luffy said in nostalgia.

Fluttershy was skating in fear, she walked up to her friends. "Ah Luffy, Applejack, I don't think I can go any further." She said while trembling.

"Why?" Luffy asked with a blank expression.

"I... I'm just too scared! The Everfree is filled with monsters, I can't go!" She stated, crying.

Applejack walked toward her, to comfort her, "It's okay Shy, we will be with ya’ll all the way."

"But," Fluttershy was about to protest.

"Are you serious?" Luffy bluntly asked, "You said those animals are your friends but you don't want to get them back?" His question shocked Applejack and Fluttershy.

"I Do, I really want to save Angel and the others! But... "

"Then why are you acting like a big baby?" He questions again.

"Luffy! That's going too far!" Applejack warns him.

Luffy stared at Fluttershy but she couldn't respond to Luffy's question and whimpered, Luffy let out a sign, "Forgive about it, I didn't know you were this much of a coward." He stated with a smile. "I don't like you anymore!"

Luffy' word shocked the two and Fluttershy started to cry. Applejack ran up to Luffy and smacked him to the ground, then she pulled him up by his vest, "What the hay is wrong with you!? How could you say ' thin' that heartless!?" She scolded him.

"What? She doesn't want to help her friends just cause she's a scaredy-cat!" Luffy pointed out.

"That doesn't give ya the right to make fun of her!" Applejack argued back, "Apologize to her right now!"

"No." Luffy refuses.

Applejack's anger was boiling over, "Luffy! you... " But she just threw him to the ground. "That's it! if you’re not planning on helping, then just leave!" She said and grabbed Fluttershy's arm. "Come on Fluttershy, we can find them on our own!" Then the two left. Luffy stood back up and picked up his straw hat, then went off in his own direction.

Applejack and Fluttershy continue looking for animals but Applejack was still furious at Luffy while Fluttershy was downcast. "Ah can't believe that punk! Who does he think he is making fun of yer like that?" Applejack huff.

"But he's right you know," Fluttershy stated with a sad smile, "If it wasn't for you, I could never have the courage to come here. No wonder he hates me."

"Don't say that Shy!" Applejack grabs her shoulders, "He doesn't know you. You're the nicer, sweeter person around and Luffy is an idiot for thinking otherwise." She said to cheer her up.

Feeling touched, Fluttershy wiped the last of her tears, "Thanks Applejack, But I wish I could be a little more like him. He always like he could face anything, like against the Crescent Moon Pirates." She said, still feeling depressed.

"Shy you are brave when it counts, like how you face a dragon and that cockatrice. You don't have to be anythin' like him!" Applejack stated, "Now, where are those little fellas."

Fluttershy spotted something from the distance. "Over there!" She points at a big brown bear in a shaking feeble position, she rushes toward it "Harry!" She said to him, The bear looks up to face her and Fluttershy rubs his back, claiming it down.

Applejack ran over toward them. "Good, glad we found one of them. Now, how many more do we have left?" She asked.

"Let's see, there’s Angel, a couple of birds, rabbits, raccoon dogs and two pairs of turtles." Fluttershy explains, then turns to the bear. "Harry, do you know where the others are?" She asked him.

The bear shakes his head, not knowing where they are. Before they could come up with something else, a scary growl could be heard from the distance. Then a huge step shakes the ground, Applejack gets into a fighting stance and Fluttershy covers Harry for protection. And coming out, is a huge blue creature with wings then at roar.

"It's a Dragon!" Applejack and Fluttershy both said in unison.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the Everfree Forest. A few birds, rabbits, raccoon dogs, two turtles and the one leading them is a white rabbit. They were walking around the forest lost, the white rabbit was trying to help find their way out but didn't know, until someone approached them, it was Luffy with a blank expression.

Seeing him, at first the animals try to shatter away and the white rabbit stays behind to fight him but then Luffy calls to them. "Hey, are any of you guys Fluttershy's animals?" He asked. Hearing her name, the animals stop and turn to the straw hat earthborn. Curious, the white rabbit nodded, Luffy gave a wide smile as he bent down to the animals. "This great, Fluttershy been looking for you guys!" He told them.

"Are you a friend of Fluttershy? If you don't mind extending that knowledge?" A woman's voice asked him, Luffy turned and saw a woman in native clothes with black tattoo stripes on her body and a Mohawk hair.

"Wow, a stripe lady!" Luffy pointed at her in amazement.

The woman looks puzzled at Luffy's statement but continues, "You say Fluttershy's name, does that mean you know her?" She asked.

Luffy nodded, "Yeah, she's a friend," He answered with a smile then turned toward the animals. "Those guys are her friends too and she wanted me to find them."

The woman smiles at Luffy's reply, "She is lucky to have a plucky friend like you."

Luffy start laughing at her, "Man, you talk funny lady!"

"I'm known as Zecora." The lady Zecora stated her name, then she took a better look at him. "Strange, I never seen you around before."

"Yeah, I'm Luffy and I'm just standing in Ponyville until my boat is ready." Luffy answer.

"I see," Zecora said but was taking a back at Luffy, "Wait, a boat? Are you a sailor?" She asked.

"No, a pirate," Luffy answered proudly.

"A pirate," Zecora repeated in surprise but before she could say anything else. Luffy and her hear a roar that shakes the ground. "What when that?!"

Then, another scream could be heard. "Applejack!" That scream was Fluttershy.

"Was that, Fluttershy?" Zecora exclaimed but with no hesitation, Luffy ran toward the screams. "Wait, Luffy! What are you doing?" She questioned but Luffy couldn't respond as he was already gone, leaving Zecora with Fluttershy's animals.

The blue dragon was thrashing its claws around trying to hit Applejack, Fluttershy and Harry the bear. Applejack is kicking the claws away while Fluttershy was hugging Harry to protect him and in fear. Unfortunately, Applejack's hits weren't doing anything to it. "Darn, Ah knew from Spike that dragon's scales were tough, but Ah didn't know that would be that hard." Applejack commented while rubbing her sore leg. The Dragon roared at the three and swung another claw toward Fluttershy. Seeing this, Applejack moves to save her. "Fluttershy, move!" She shouted toward her.

But, Fluttershy couldn't hear her as she was holding on to the Harry in fear. No choice, Applejack jumped to the dragon's claw and blocked it with a kick but the dragon hit her with its tail. Which sent her flying to the side and the ground hard. Then, the dragon turns its attention to Fluttershy and takes a deep breath, getting ready to spit out some fire on her. Seeing this, Fluttershy tries to pull her bear friend out of the way of the blast. "Harry get out here, please." But the bear refused to leave her.

The dragon was ready to fire, "Fluttershy! No!" Applejack screams from her friend, but...

"Gum! Gum! Pistol!"

A fist stretches out toward the dragon and hits it in the face. The punch had enough force to knock the dragon down to the ground. The fist stretched back to the person it came from, it was Luffy. Luffy walks toward the two girls and waves to them. "Hey guys, you okay?" He asked.

"Luffy? What are ya'll doin'? How did you get here?" Applejack question.

"I heard that dragon and Fluttershy yelling." He stated as The skyborn looked away in shame. Then, the dragon got back up and looked mad as smoke was coming out of its nose. Luffy turned to the dragon with a serious glare, "Hey dragon! Nobody picks on my friend and gets away with it!" His words surprise Applejack and Fluttershy, the dragon charging toward them.

Luffy ran to the dragon and entered a fight with it. Luffy punches the dragon with enough force to make it stumble back but the dragon regains its bearings and tries to swing at him, Luffy jumps over the dragon's claw.

"Gum! Gum! Gatling!"

Then, Luffy unleashes an array of multiple punches at it and each fist causes real harm to the dragon. Applejack and Fluttershy watch in amazement at Luffy's fight. "Hoo-wee, Ah knew Luffy was tough but Ah didn't think he could stand toe-to-toe with a dragon." Applejack said.

"Yeah, no kidding," Fluttershy added.

The Dragon had enough and used its wing to send Luffy flying, he hit the ground. Then, the dragon spit fire at him. "Luffy!" Applejack shouted as she ran toward him and pushed him out of the way of the attack. "You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, thanks," Luffy thanked her but the dragon hit them both with its tail, making them send them to a nearby giant rock. Fluttershy's eyes went wide in shock seeing her friends getting hurt like that. The dragon stood atop of the down two and was about to attack them until...

"How Dare You!?" A loud voice filled with anger could be heard and it came from Fluttershy. She got in between the two and the dragon, Fluttershy gave the dragon a serious glare, "How dare do that to my friends you meanie!? Look, I know it's wrong to hit people but you start it by attacking Applejack and Luffy was trying to stop you!" Her words cut the dragon deep as it was getting nervous and stepping back a bit. "Stay!" She shouted and the dragon stopped moving, Flutttershy flew up to the dragon's face, "Listening up, don't ever do this to anyone again! Got it?!" She warns the dragon and as she stares at it, a strange force could come out making the dragon because scary and nodded. "Good, now left!" She ordered it and the dragon left. Fluttershy flew back down to her friends. "Luffy, Applejack, are you two okay?" She asked, her expression returning to normal.

Applejack got back up, "Yeah, thanks to you sugarcube." she said to her.

"Oh, that's good," Fluttershy said in relief. But, Luffy got up but didn't answer her, "Luffy?" Luffy then walks to her with his eyes being covered by his hat. Applejack and Fluttershy got worried at Luffy's action, Fluttershy started to panic. "I-I'm sorry if I... G-got... In your way, I was trying to help. I know you hate me b-but I really didn't really mean... " She was cut off when Luffy grabbed her shoulders.

"Fluttershy, this," He started with a serious tone but then, he got a big grin on his face with his eyes turned into stars. "So cool!"

"It was?" Fluttershy reply, confusion.

"Yeah, you just make that dragon run away just by looking at it! How do you do it?!" Luffy asked in awe.

"It's called the stare, I mostly use it on my animals that are misbehaving." Fluttershy answers timidly.

"That's so cool, you think you can teach me?" Luffy asked, getting too close to her.

Applejack gets in-between them and pushes them apart. "Get the girl some space, Luffy."

Then, another person came up to them, it was Zecora walking along with Fluttershy's animals. "Applejack, Fluttershy, my friends, I'm glad you all are fine." She said to the girls.

"Zecora?" fluttershy question but then she spots the animals behind her. "Angel," She pointed to the white rabbit at the center, Fluttershy rushed toward them and hugged them tightly. She turned to Zecora, " Zecora, did you find them all?" She asked with tearing eyes.

"I'm afraid not," Zecora stated then she pointed at Luffy. "Your straw hat friend found them first, but may I ask if he is a devil fruit user?" She asked as she got close to Luffy.

Luffy answered, "Yeah, I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit and now I'm a rubber man." He demonstrates by pulling his cheek and it stretches out.

"Wait Zecora, you know about the devil fruit?" Applejack asked.

"I red many books about them from my homeland." She stated while pulling on Luffy's arm. "But strange, I never heard of one that turns a person into rubber."

"Umm, Luffy," Fluttershy called to him, drawing everyone in. "Um, thanks for saving us and my animals, even if you hate me.”

"What?" Luffy asked, "When did I say I hate you?"

The earth and sky borns were taken back by what Luffy just asked. "Before we enter the forest!" Applejack stated, loud.

"What?! I never said I hated her," He turned toward Fluttershy, "I just said I didn't like you cause you were acting like a scaredy-cat." Luffy said.

"Oh, so do you like me?" Fluttershy asked, blushing.

"Yeah, you're my friend, I like you," He said, which made Fluttershy smile wide. "Even if you're a big baby." But I got depressed when he said that.

Applejack let out a sign as she marched toward Luffy, "It's still wrong of you to say that to her." She stated as she pulled on Luffy's cheek.

"Just being honest," He reply.

"True but that still means ya'll." She exclaimed as she finally let go of his cheek, "But, thanks for finding the animals and saving us." She said, bashfully with rubbing the back of her head. Everyone smiled at her and getting embarrassed, she quickly stated. "Anyways, we better get out of here."

"Ahh, but I want to see more of the forever forest." Luffy worried.

"No way and besides, we still have some more work to do back on the farm." Applejack exclaimed to him.

"Man, that's boring." Luffy responded.

Seeing the two playful argue, Fluttershy let out a small giggle and turned to Zecora. "Guess we’re leaving, thanks Zecora and goodbye." She waved to her and left with her animal friends following her.

Zecora waved them off and said to herself, "A young boy with the power of rubber, accrued still has the dream he has pursued.”

Late into the afternoon, Applejack, Luffy, the rest of the Main 6 and the Apple family were finished all the farm chores. Luffy drops the last of the baskets into the pile and then collapses. "Man, I'm tired." He said out of breath.

Granny Smith came out carrying a plate full of drinks, "Who wants some fresh squeezed apple juices!" She offered.

Everyone rushed over and grabbed each cup, leaving two left. Luffy used his stretched out hands to take the last two and drank them whole. "Luffy! One of them was from Granny Smith!" Twilight

"It's fine dear, after the day you all had I don't blame him." Granny Smith assured her.

"Yeah, I can't you and Luffy fought a dragon on your own!" Pinkie cheer.

"Without me!" Rainbow added, annoyed.

"Yeah, Ah knew he was tough but Ah didn't he be that tough," Applejack stated.

"Yeah girls," Twilight got everyone's attention, "The owner of the shipyard said he has a boat ready for Luffy, tomorrow."

"Really?!" Everyone asked in unison and Twilight nodded.

"That means, Luffy will be leaving tomorrow." Spike stated.

"But, I want to have more fun with him!" Pinkie whines.

Rarity placed a hand on her shoulder, "Dear, I know it’s hard but it's what’s best for him."

"Man, I'm going to miss the guy." Rainbow Dash admits.

Spike giggled a bit, "Wow, a few days ago, you and Applejack were fighting him." The others laugh at that, much to Rainbow Dash's embarrassment.

Then, Apple Bloom turns to her Applejack. "What about you big sis, do ya still not like Luffy around?" She asked her big sister.

Applejack blush at that but then answer, "Well, Ah don't really hate the fella and Ah kinda of gettin' use too him bein' here." She stated while rubbing the back of her neck. "So yeah, Ah think Ah would... " But before she could finish, an eaten apple rolled to her foot. Applejack and the others turn to see Luffy eating the bucket of apples they just finished collecting with 3 more buckets empty next to him. Applejack's red began to turn red in anger, "Luffy!" She scream as she launch toward Luffy and began wrestle with him to stop eating the apples.

Twilight, Rarity, Apple Bloom and Big Mac let out a sigh while the others were laughing at this.

Author's Note

And this is my last Main 6 and Luffy bonding story.

I felt to added Zecora in this cause the other One Piece and MLP crossover stories had her in it and I sorry if Zecora's rhyme wasn't good in this, I'm not good at rhyme myside.

And Fluttershy stare in this one is to foreshadow what other stories had about it.

The Return of The Crescent-Moon Pirates! Spiel The Hexagon's Wicked Powers!

The next day at Golden Oak Library, Twilight and Spike were trying to wake up Luffy who was deep in sleep. "Come on Luffy, wake up!" Twilight yelled while shaking Luffy, then Spike got an idea and left the room. "Spike?! Where are you going?!" Twilight questions the baby dragon's action.

Spike came back with a bowl of cooked ham, "I don't know why we didn't try this sooner?" He stated as he jumped on Luffy and held it near his face. Once Luffy got one good sniff, he woke up and took a big bite out of the ham. "Well, that works." Spike said as Luffy swallowed that bite.

He then looked at the two, "Morning Twi and Spike!" Luffy greets, nonchalantly.

"Luffy, I got some news. The owner is finished with your boat." Twilight told him.

"Really?!" Luffy asked, excited as he jumped out of his sleep place, "That's great, I can finally head to the Grand Line and start my pirate journey!" Luffy walks toward the door until Twilight grabs his arm and it stretches out.

"Luffy, wait!" She called to him and he stopped then turned toward her.

"What?"

Twilight let go of his arm and it stretched back. "Do you really want to leave right away?" She asked him and the straw hat earthborn nodded, "Can you stay here for a few more days?"

Spike spoke next, "Yeah, everyone’s going to miss you!"

"No worries, Once I find the one piece I come back with the rest of my crew." Luffy exclaims as he continues moving to the door.

Twilight looks a bit upset by his answer, As Luffy touches the door handle. "Don't go!" Twilight shouted, which surprised both Spike and Luffy. But before she could say anything else, a huge explosion could be heard that shook the ground. The three went outside then saw a pirate ship sailing toward the town and attacking but not just any pirate ship, it was the ship of the Crescent-Moon Pirates.

Luffy, Twilight and Spike rush toward the dock of the town with the rest of the town folks already being there. The rest of the main 6 were there too and Rainbow Dash spotted the three coming to them. "Twilight, Luffy, good timing!" She said as they made the rest of the group.

"Rainbow, everyone, is that really the Crescent-Moon Pirates?" Twilight questions and panting from running here.

"Yeah, Ah guess that Gally fellas want some payback." Applejack theorized and as she said that, three more cannons fired from the ship and headed to the dock.

Seeing this, everyone on the dock starts to panic but then, Luffy jumps into the air and inhales his breath. "Gum-Gum! Balloon!" Then his body inflated like a huge balloon and the cannons hit his big stomach then they bounced off him. The cannons were sent back to the ship and one of them hit it.

Luffy landed back on the dock and everyone cheered, "Way to go, Luffy! Since when could you do that?" Rainbow asked him while patting his back.

"Mmh, a year ago," Luffy replied, simply.

The mayor rushes over to everyone at the dock, "Everyone!" She starts to address the crowd. "We need to evacuate the town, now!"

"What? You can’t be serious!?" One of the townsfolk shouted to her.

"You want us to abandon our home again?" Another one said, angrily.

Soon, the whole townsfolk start to argue with Mayor Mare, "Everyone, please calm down." She tries to address everyone in worry. "It's dangerous for all of us to be here!" She explained to them.

"No way!" A female townsfolk argued back, "We’re not letting those pirates destroy our town! Plus, we have Luffy!"

"Yeah, you useless mayor!" One yells out. Mayor Mare began to look downcast. Seeing this, Twilight tries reaching toward the mayor but the Crescent-Moon Pirates fire two cannon balls toward the city. Once again, Luffy jumped into the air and used the Gum Gum Balloon, inflated his body again.

Two of the cannons hit his belly and bounced off him again. But before the third cannon can hit him, it gets wrapped up in this purple aura energy and changes its shape into a spear. Luffy saw this and deflated to avoid the cannon spear. It hit one of the houses and Luffy fell face-first to the ground. "Luffy!" The Main 6, Crusaders and Spike called to him in worry and rushed toward him.

Twilight helped Luffy onto his feet. "Sorry guys, any sharp things can't bounce off of me." Luffy informs the group.

"It's fine Luffy," Twilight assures Luffy, then turns to the oncoming Crescent-Moons' ship. "That was magic? When did Gally learn to do magic?" Twilight wondered, then three more cannonballs were fired and like before they transformed into spears. Luffy, The main 6 and the rest of the townsfolk quickly move to avoid them.

They end up hitting a couple more buildings. Seeing this, Twilight shouted to the whole crowd. "Mayor Mare is right! It's dangerous to stay here, all of you need to leave!"

The Townsfolk now seeing the danger, tried to leave but Gally's ship fired five more cannonballs and was getting closer. And like before all of them turned into spears but Luffy ran toward one of them. He stretches his arms to grab one of the cannon spears and use it to knock another away from the town. Then the third one was going to hit Luffy but before it could, it was covered in a purple aura, stopping it. The purple aura came from Twilight as she levitated the spear down, then Applejack jumped in the air and used all her strength to kick the fourth cannon spear into a nearby forest.

The last one was stopped by Rarity as she created seven diamond shields in a single row to slow down its momentum. The spear destroys six of them and stops at the seventh one only leaving a crack on it, it falls down to the ground alongside Rarity who collapses onto her knees, exhausted. "That took a lot out of me." Rarity exclaimed out of breath.

"Thanks Rares," Luffy thanks her then he starts to twist his body around and grab the cannon spare that Rarity just stops while still holding on to the one he caught. Next, Luffy untwists his body and begins spinning around with the spears.

"Gum-Gum! Spear Toss!"

Then he stops and throws both cannon spears with all his force at the pirate ship. The rest of the townspeople saw this would awe in hope. "Way to go Luffy!" Rainbow Dash cheered along with everyone else. But before the spears could hit the ship they were stopped by the same purple auras and dropped to the ocean.

But before the two spears drop, Luffy stretches out his arm to wrap around the third cannon spear that Twilight caught. Then, he stretches back his other arm and pulls in the arm that wraps around the spear. As the two got closer, he then called out.

"Gum-Gum! Cannon Bazooka!"

Luffy uses his hand to hit the spear on the other hand, with enough force that it launches toward the ship at high speed and causes Luffy to bleed a little on the hand he just punched the spear with. "It's moving so fast!" Twilight commit in awe at the sight.

"Yeah, no way those guys can catch this one!" Spike added, hoping this one will work.

But sadly, it didn't as the same purple auras caught inches before it could hit the ship. Then, the purple aura started pulling pressure on the cannon spear until it shattered in an explosion that blew everyone on the dock away. This gave the Crescent-Moon ship enough time to make its way to land and dock there. All the Crescent-Moon pirates make their way off the ship to land and surround everyone as they were getting up. The pirates make room so Gally can enter in with a sinister smile.

"Hello insects," Gally addressed the whole town. "It is I, Crescent-Moon Gally!" Seeing him, Luffy and The Main 6 move toward him with determination. Gally saw them and his grin grew wide. "Well if it isn't the rubber brat and his six girlfriends!" He stated.

All the girls minus Pinkie blush heavily, "We’re not his girlfriends!" All reply angrily except for Fluttershy who said it really quietly.

"What are you doing back here?" Luffy looked at the pirate with a serious glare, "Weird mustache man," He then shot back.

"Stop That!" Gally got mad at that comment and shouted, "And what do you think? Revenge of course!" Gally answered.

"Yeah, well in case you forgot, we kicked you and your crew's ass last time." Rainbow Dash, the rest of The Main 6 and Luffy each took their own fighting stances. "What makes you think this will be different?" She asked seriously.

"Because he has me," A voice came from the Crescent-Moon Pirate's ship and standing on top of it was a tall magicborn holding a broomstick. He then jumps off the ship and walks toward the group with a menacing aura. Even Gally and his crew were getting nervous, "So captain, Are those the kids who humiliate you?" He asked Gally pointed at Luffy and the others.

Gally gave his composed back and answered, "Yes, that straw hat boy and those six girls, let's kill them Spiel!" He said with his fist clenched.

"Wait, Spiel?" Hearing the man's name, Twilight looked at him and began to think where she heard that name. Then she got a shocked look on her face. "It can't be,"

Luffy looked at the man with the broom curiously and tilted his head. Spiel and Gally seeing this, start to taunt him. "What's wrong boy, your fear’s starting to settle in?" Spiel asked him, mockley.

"Ha yeah, finally knowing you mess with the wrong pirates?" Gally added.

Luffy pointing at Spiel, "Who's the guy with the weird head?" He asked bluntly.

Gally and the rest of his crew's faces turn pale and mouths drop at Luffy's comment toward Spiel. Spiel himself was stunned by it. "M-m... M-my head's weird?" He tried to say.

"Luffy, I don't think you shouldn’t have said that to him." Twilight warns him.

"Well, look at his head! it's weird!" Luffy starts to laugh at him.

Pinkie and Rainbow Dash soon follow him laughing at Spiel. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Rainbow Dash said, covering her mouth.

"It's both weird and funny!" Pinkie laughs holding her stomach. Then the whole town started to laugh, Spiel was growing more angry and with a wave of his hand, 10 swords started to appear. They then head toward everyone, Luffy and the others barely manage to avoid them. "That's what you all get for crossing, Six Hones Spiel!" He exclaimed

Twilight's eyes went wide when she heard his name, "No way, you're that Spiel!" Twilight covers her mouth with both hands.

Hearing her, Luffy turned to her, "Twi, you know that guy?" He asked, pointing at Spiel, again.

"No, I only heard rumors about him." Twilight begins to explain, "Spiel is an infamous and cruel sorcerer, The magic he uses are dark and evil. Every town he comes across ends up in ruin."

Spiel starts to clap, "I am so honored that the Twilight Sparkle has heard so much about me." he takes a mock bow.

"Wait, you know about Twilight?" Pinkie asked.

"Of course, who wouldn't know about her? Not only she's the apprentice and Faithful Student of Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria." He pointed at her and the other Main 6. "But you and your so-called friends are the new bearers of the Legendary Elements of Harmony."

All the pirates including Luffy were surprised and shocked by this fact. "What?! You mean to tell me that those girls have the power of the Elements of Harmony but that one has a connection with the princess?" Gally exclaimed, still stunned.

"That's right," Spiel slowly moved toward them, "The main reason I came here, with the power of the Elements at my fingertip, Not only the East Blue will me but all of Equestria will be." He then burst out laughing at his declaration.

Not realizing what he said about himself, Gally started to laugh nervously in agreement. "You're right, with them I can rule all of Equestria and might even become King of the Pirates!" Gally continues laughing while Spiel turns to him, annoyed.

"Not happening," The pirates turned to Luffy as he said that out loud. "I really don't understand what you guys are talking about but I'm the one who’s gonna be King of the Pirates."

Twilight then moves next to him, "And what makes you think we will let you use our elements for evil?!" She questioned him.

Spiel grew a wicked grin, "Because you won't have a choice," He held up his hand, it, his horn and Twilight got covered in a magic aura. Then he uses it to push Twilight into the ground, hard.

"Twilight!" Luffy, Spike and the girls cried to her as the latters rushed toward her in worry. Luffy turns to Spiel in rage. He then stretched out a punch toward him.

"Fool," Spiel quietly said as a wave of his hand, created a magic barrier that reflected Luffy's attack on part of the town, destroying it. Everyone was surprised by that. "So, you really are a devil fruit user, well no matter your powers is no match for mine." He stated while holding a red gem in the back of his pocket.

"Yeah right!" Luffy threw another punch and like before Spiel made another barrier that deflected only it was headed toward the crowd, Everyone including Luffy were shocked by that. "Oh no, stop!" Luffy panic.

Everyone tried to protect themselves from the attack but it hit only one person and that person ran toward the punch to , the person was Mayor Mare. "Mayor!" The townsfolk and The Main 6 shouted in worry as she collapsed from the attack.

The townsfolk rush toward her, "Sorry," Luffy apologizes to her with a sweat drop.

Gally and his crew start to laugh at her action. "I can't believe that woman ran to that hit like an idiot!" Gally goes back to laugh.

Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack got mad at the pirates for mocking their mayor. They both ran toward the pirates but Spiel saw them coming and summoned two swords. The two swords strike them both down, one cutting Applejack's leg and the other cutting Rainbow Dash's shoulder. "Applejack! Rainbow Dash!" Luffy seeing this, grew angry and tried to throw another punch but Spiel caught Luffy's fist in a magic aura. Then use Luffy's stretch arm to wrap around him, and tie him up.

Spiel let out another laugh, "Like I said before, your devil fruit powers are no match for mine magic." He said as pull out a ruby gem from his pocket.

Twilight saw this and looked shocked, But Spiel spotted her, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy then used his magic to bind the four in a magic aura. "Well look at this, all seven down for the count." Spiel mock.

The townsfolk look on in shock seeing Luffy and the Main 6 captured then Gally addresses the whole town, "Now your heroes are no more, we be taking all your wealth and after that, we will burn this town to the ground!" He said, which scared everyone.

They start to panic, "No can't," One of the townsfolk said.

"Please, we don't want to fight you," Another added.

"You can take our money and provisions, then leave this town!" One begs for the pirate's mercy.

But he let out a dark chuckle, "Why should I listen to what an insect asks me to do?!" Galley questions menacingly.

Everyone was getting worried, the Crescent-Moon pirates pulled out their weapons and started raiding the town. Breaking into buildings, stealing anything that started valuable and destroying everything else. The Main 6 and the townsfolk look on in horror at the destruction of their town. "Next, all of you!" Gally pointed at the townsfolk and the pirates aimed their weapons toward them.

"Stop!!!" A voice grabbed everyone's attention, it came from the swollen face Mayor Mare, stumbling to stand up. "P-please, d-don't hurt them..." She said in a quiet and weak voice

"You, you still wanna to fight?" Gally mockingly asked, pointing his sword at her.

"My treasure... "

"Did you say something?" Gally asked

"This town, everyone, they’re my treasure!" Mayor Mare said again in a loud tone, "That's why I won't let you hurt any of them, I will protect them!" Mayor Mare stated with great determination. Her words struck a core with the townsfolk and the Main 6, and they would move to hear about how much the Mayor cared about them, even Luffy smiled seeing the Mayor, But the Mayor collapsed onto her face.

Everyone looked worried for her until they heard a laugh from Gally, "Huh?! What kind of nonsense is that?!" Gally shot out a laugh again, "What are you, stupid? this town and the people are your 'treasure'? Don't be ridiculous! Treasure is shiny stuff like gold and jewels, and the power to survive the Great Age of Pirates." He continues to mock Mayor Mare to her down face, the townsfolk grow angry at Gally for making fun of her and even Luffy grows frustrated. "Things like the great pirate ship I'm sailing on! This town is a treasure?! That's just laughable!" Gally then addresses his whole crew, "Everyone laughs too!"

And Spiel and the rest of the Crescent-Moon Pirates laugh at her, "What a stupid mayor!" One said. The anger grew more and more hearing the pirates laugh at the mayor who was trying her best to protect them.

"DON'T LAUGH AT HER!" Twilight shouted at them. The pirates halt their laughter and all turn to her, even Luffy, the Main 6 and the rest of the townsfolk were surprised at Twilight's outburst.

"Huh?" Gally questions her.

"What do you know about her?! The Mayor may not be the strongest but she always does her best to protect this town long before I came here! She always makes sure we can leave here happy and safe!" Twilight speaks from the heart, her words move the townsfolk and make them realize they been unfair to Mayor Mare who only wanted to keep them safe. "The fact that this town still stands, and the fact that we’re all alive... We all owe it to her! Someone like you, who can't do anything but destroy... Will never understand!" The town cheers at Twilight's words, Gally growls and Luffy gives her a smile.

"That's right! Get out of here, you scumbags!" Spike shouted from the crowd but then, a magical aura suddenly appeared to cover Twilight's mouth, "Twilight!" Spike gasps as does everyone else seeing this.

Spiel used his magic to move Twilight closer toward him and said. "You don't know when to shut up, do you?"

"Spiel, do we need her voice to use those elements?" Gally asked as he walked toward them with his sword in hand. Spiel shakes his head, Gally smiles at that. "Good, then I can cut her throat out!" He raises his sword and swings toward her.

Everyone starts to panic until Luffy screams, "Weird mustache man!" Which stops Gally and gets his attention, Gally turns to him angrily then Luffy stretches out his leg to kick him in the face, which knocks him back to the ground.

Two of Gally's crewmates ran to him in worry and helped him to sit up. "You damn rubber-bastard... " Gally began to yell at him. "Keep your hands out of it?!"

"But I use my foot." Luffy stated blankly.

"Oh alright... no, that's not what I meant!" Gally got more mad, he got up and ran toward him. "I'm not gonna let you get away with this!" He tries to punch him but Luffy dodges it and Luffy's straw hat falls out of him.

"It doesn't hurt even if you punch me. Cause I'm made of rubber." Luffy exclaimed to him.

"You're becoming more annoying by the minute!" Gally said, then turned to Luffy's fallen hat, "Even wearing that ridiculous hat." Luffy's expression changed to shock and worry when Gally said that. Gally noticed this, "Oh my, What this? Your expression suddenly changed! Now why is that!" He moves toward the hat and picks it up.

Before Luffy could scream at him, "Don't touch it!" Fluttershy screamed at Gally in an angry tone, everyone turned to her but she didn't care.

"You stay away from Luffy's hat you damn vermin!" Applejack stated too.

"That's right!" Rainbow Dash added.

"That hat may look ridiculous, but it’s very important to Luffy's heart!" Rarity said.

"Yeah, pirate friend Shanks gave it to him!" Pinkie explains.

Hearing that name, "Pirate, Shanks... You don't mean Red Hair Shanks?" Spiel's eyes go wide as he asks that. Pinkie nodded and all the Crescent-Moon Pirates all started to panic and turned in the direction of the hat."Red Hair Shanks, one of the four great pirates of the sea, so that is his hat."

"Seriously, what with all you nobodies knowing those people!" Gally ranted, then look at the straw hat, "And great pirate my ass, I heard he lost an arm when he traveled here to the east blue!" Gally begins to mock Shanks, "Losing an arm in what's supposed to be the weakest sea in all of Equestria!" He laughs at him and Luffy becomes more mad at Gally for making fun of Shanks, with a little bit of guilt knowing the reason Shanks lost his arm.

Gally drops the hat to the ground with his foot closer to it. "If you step on it, you'll pay!" Luffy warns him. Gally just turned to him with a goofy expression.

"So you don't want me to step on it, hun?" Gally sent the full weight of his foot toward the hat.

"Stop it!" Luffy screamed and ran to stop him but Spiel used his magic to halt Luffy. And Gally stomps on the hat.

Luffy and the Main 6 look on in horror at this action. And Gally begins to rub it on the floor making some of the straws come out, ruining it. "Take that!" Gally yelled.

Luffy’s anger was now at its peak, "Move your foot!" Luffy bark.

"How's this?!" Gally lifts his foot off the hat and then steps on it again, "There! And there! And there!" He stepped on the hat each time he said that. The Main 6 try to move and pull themselves out of Spiel's spell to stop Gally. "And there! And there! And there!" Luffy can only look on in fury seeing his precious hat getting destroyed, "This feels great!" Twilight's horn then starts to glow brighter and brighter until enough magic comes out of her breaking her out of the bind and she quickly teleports herself.

And in a flash, she appears on top of Luffy's hat with Gally's foot on top of her. Everyone was shocked at this. "Twilight," Luffy gasps.

"S-She was able to break free?" Spiel commented in worry while clutching his gem.

"Stop it!" Twilight turns to Gally with determination and holds the ruined straw hat. "This isn't something that a piece of trash like you can just trample for no reason! This is Luffy's precious treasure! Get your filthy foot off of it!" She told the pirate.

Gally looks down at her in anger and picks her off the ground. "What's wrong with you insects, thinking useless junk like this treasure?!" He pointed at the straw hat, "And who do you think you are, talking to me like that?!" He then grabbed the hat, "Give me that!" And push Twilight back down.

"Twilight!" Luffy, Spike and The Main 6 gasp.

Gally turns toward Luffy with an evil smile. "Well Straw hat, time for you and this useless thing to die." He held up the straw hat, "Toss him into the sea!" Gally order.

"The sea?" The rest of main 6 question this.

"Oh you don't know, when a person eats a devil fruit they lose their ability to swim for the rest of their life. Gally explains, then laughs. "Curse by the sea!"

The obese pirate from earlier then grabs Luffy and holds him up in the air. Twilight and The Main 6 now knowing this detail are worried for Luffy. "Let's see, what will land in the water first, you, your dumb hat or both? Or maybe you can catch it before it gets swept away?" Gally wondered, mockingly. And in unison with the obese pirate, they toss both Luffy and the hat into the sea.

"Luffy!" The main 6 cried out in fear.

In the air, Luffy tries to move closer to get his hat before they hit the ocean. Luffy tries grabbing it by his teeth and just before he can get it, the hat gets wrapped in a magic aura and proofs away. And into Spiel's hand back in Ponyville. "Too bad," He gave Luffy a scum grin.

"Oh, what a shame for you little pirate-wannabe" Gally mocks Luffy watching his fate, and then he turns to his crew. "Carry, the treasure onboard! We're setting sail!" He orders them and the Crescent-Moon Pirates move all the valuables to the ship.

The Main 6 eyes shrink over at the ocean in worry for Luffy, Spiel stood over them, "And you six are coming with us." He stated.

Under the ocean, Luffy's arm finally unwraps itself from his body. But, Luffy was unable to move his body at all. The only thing he could do was hold his breath, but he even struggled with that. A few seconds later, Luffy couldn't hold it anymore and began to drown. As he losing consciousness, he could hear a younger version of himself say. "Someday, I'm gonna find the One Piece... and become the Pirate King!" Then, the scene shows a kid Luffy saying that to Shanks while he still has the straw hat on.

Shanks smiles at the kid Luffy. "So you're gonna surpass us, huh?" Shanks asks him, and Luffy starts to cry a little bit. But, Shank took off the straw hat and put it over Luffy's head. "Then I'll give you this. Make sure to return it to me someday after you've become a great pirate." He said to the kid, "That's a promise, Luffy."

Luffy lost consciousness, remembering his words as his body sank deeper and deeper.
