Pineapple Flip Flops – a one piece modern AU – Chapter One

notes – HERE IT IS! I am working pretty hard on this series and it is running around in my head all feral like LMFAO I don't know if I have a schedule for this series yet, but I know I want it to come out pretty often?? But with school starting, we'll see! I'm working on chapter 2 right now and the story is coming together. For now, enjoy chapter one! <3 word count – 865 summary – Luffy lost his favorite pair of pineapple flip flops and we get to see an introduction to his usual life ft. his brothers.

Luffy stared at a rack of hanging flip flops, sipping on a drink he hadn't paid for yet.

Which ones do I not have? he thought. And which ones will Ace laugh the hardest at?

He hummed in deep thought and pressed the can to his lips. The cold was helping a cut on his lip he had gotten the day prior.

“Luffy.” An employee sighed, walking up to the boy.

“What’s up?” He was pulled from his thoughts as he turned to the employee.

“Please put on some shoes. You know the rule.” They pointed to his feet, which were completely bare on the cold linoleum floor.

“What does it look like I'm doing?” Luffy pointed to the rack of flip flops and the employee sighed again before getting back to work.

Luffy wanted to go on a long bike ride to enjoy the day out instead of staying inside and ended up having a nasty fall which made his flip flops fly into a river. He fell, of course, because he got distracted by a squirrel. He tried to chase after the shoes, but the river was too fast and the flip flops were never seen again. So, he pensively walked his bike to the nearest Dollar Tree, mourning the loss of his favorite pineapple flip flops.

And he couldn't just replace his favorite pair with the exact design because it just didn't feel the same; it didn't have the same value. He needed something new. Something that was calling his name.

Which was how he ended up grabbing a light blue pair covered in rubber ducks.

“I'd like to get these, please!” Luffy smiled at the same employee that scolded him earlier, taking a long sip out of his drink. “And this!” He burped loudly as he set the empty can down, which earned him an unamused stare.

“Luffy,” they sighed. “How many times do I have to explain to you that you need to drink your soda after you pay for it?”

“It's not hurtin’ anybody!” He stared at a bag of chips and then slammed them down on the conveyor belt. “Plus, I'm paying for it either way, right?”

The employee heavily sighed again and told Luffy his total. He then pulled out a couple of crumpled up bills, handing them over.

“Have a good day, okay, worker person?”

“You too, Luffy.”

The moment he stepped out of the door, he broke off the tag on his new flip flops, slipping them right on. He wiggled his toes in excitement and grabbed his bike. After throwing his chips in the basket, he took right off.

“Ace is gonna love these.” he giggled as he rode his bike with no hands, eating some of his chips.

It was nice out. Not too hot and not too cold. Perfect bike riding weather. What was even nicer though was being able to bike everywhere. He lived so close to everything that he got the opportunity to take his bike – The Merry – out wherever he went. What was even cooler though was how close everything was to his, Ace's, and Sabo's apartment. He could go anywhere he wanted with ease and always have fun doing it.

Luffy had to avoid being led to any nearby restaurants due to the smell. Especially the Baratie, a super nice restaurant in town. He only made so much mowing lawns, and though food was tempting, helping out his brothers meant more to him.

So he booked it home, smiling when he saw his building in view. He locked up his bike and grabbed everything from the basket. As he stumbled up the stairs, neighbors rolled their eyes, already used to his shenanigans even though Luffy and his brothers just recently moved in.

Luffy unlocked his door like his life depended on it and fell inside their apartment. “ACE, LOOK!” He stood proudly, only to find that the apartment was pitch black and empty. He pouted. “Ace, what the heck?”

He slumped down on the couch. Sabo had been out for a couple weeks because of some internship opportunity, so Luffy was already used to him being out. But Ace should’ve been home.

“Acccceeeeeee, what the heeeeeeckkkk?!” He crossed his arms and pulled out his phone.

He sulked at the response and turned on the TV as background noise. Quickly, he found himself absorbed in some kids' shows.

But that was quickly pulled away when he heard his phone go off.

Ace worked as a camp counselor over summers, but since school was starting for the elementary schoolers, he had to start doing after school activities with them, which changed his whole schedule. He didn't make much doing that, but thanks to Sabo’s savings and his job, the three boys were able to get something together. They really wanted to feel more independent and didn't want Garp up their asses about being Marines anymore. They didn't mind if it was a shitty place. Together, it felt like home.

Luffy brought his attention back to the show and yawned. A quick nap wouldn't hurt before Ace showed up.
