As I aproached the gates to re-join civilization, one of the guards calls out to me, he was dressed like sailors but with light leather armor over their uniforms and what I guess is this city's logo. I didn't know there were guards stationed at the gates, they were never showed in the anime do I have to pay to enter... Hope mr. Guard accept some produce instead...
"I said halt, come here and show your face to see if you are a wanted pirate and don't try anything funny." The guard yells at me and some other guards and some marines are looking at me with judgemental eyes...
I walk toward the guard and was about to greet him but he stopped and looked at me, then at my clothes, I think he is staring way to much at me. Then after what felt like an hour he start looking at some of the wanted posters.
"You are clear, move along... and get some clothes, you look like a hermit raised in the woods." said mr. Guard with clear disdain in his voice. Atleast he didn't insulted me directly and this clothes are temporary anyways... Better get moving either way, need some information and some place to rest.
The first thing I noticed when I entered is that the roards are made of stone, feels horrible to stand on it. I missed the soft soil... I'm really thinking about soil... guess I really am turning into plant lady. The buildings are not that high either, maybe two or three stories tall, mainly white with red tiles on the roofs. Need to get to the market to sell some produce to buy some proper clothing. Now that I look properly, mr. Guard was really short for a man... Odd those kids are all staring at me and the look so tiny... how tall am I exacly...
At least my leaves robe, hide some of my curves and my twins... I can see some men looking at me with lecherous eyes guess the haven't seen a woman as hot as me in their lives... hope they would stop thouhg, I think I heard a slap or two in the background.
What a bunch of wonderfull smells, guess I need to look at the quisine of this world... except I have no money... What is that child sitting in the corner of that alleyway there doing... I think she is asking for money or food... Well I can give her some food since I can make a lot of it. Walking closer to the girl, I can see her better, she has light pink hair bellow her brown cloack. Her eyes are a darker shade of pink, maybe purple, she looked like a 9 years old, and its bear footed like me. Wait a minute... is that Bonney?
O crap it is no wonder they are so many marines in here. Guess this is the timeline were she just escaped from the world goverment's hand and it's trying to gather resources to get her own crew, maybe. She could have her crew already for all I know. Wait does she have her fruit here too or does she ate it after she scapes... Maybe she can help me grow the Adam tree... I might be able to protect her a little until she gets stronger, maybe get her out of the island. Is that her original age in this timeline or is she using her powers... I can't just ask that to her face she would think I'm stalking her, even if it is true, I can't give her a bad first impretion, she looks adorable.
After I aproach her she asks for some spare food, but then look at me that have even less clothes than her and looks at the ground, how rude. I present my hand to her and once she looks at it I made an apple bloon directly on top of it, offering her the best smile I can muster. She looks at the apple full curiosity and wariness. I offer her the apple and look as she just eats it in one bite an looks at me with exited eyes.
"So, what is your name cute little child?" I asked her expecting that she would fake her name. And she starts to shiver a little and backs away. Great job idiot I scared her away. "It's okay, usually one has to introduce ourself but I haven't a clue on what to call myself yet, so I can't give you a proper answer in return if you ask for mine." I said to her in hope to calm her down a little since I don't want her to turn me into a baby.
She must be weak from hunger if she can't even use her powers to get away from me. Maybe she still doesn't know how to control her powers yet. "Are you ok little girl you are shivering." I ask trying to sond like I don't want to cause her harm. "I'm Bon... Bones" and I'm not a little girl, I'm just like this to preserve energy, since little children eat less and I don't have a stable food supply." Ok she is talking to me atleast but she is so adorable that... "It's ok to act like a kid." I said while patting her head and playing dumb. She was about to say something when I presented her a mango with my free hand, maybe she likes mangoes. I know she doesn't like carrots and that she loves pizza.
What to do about her circumstances, I also need her help to accelerate the growth of my Adam tree, so that I can use my Dryad form. I don't want to fuse with any normal tree since there could be a limit to the amount of trees I can fuse with and I already have the seed to grow one. I also need to set a name from my self maybe an alias for now "You can call me Green Sage if you want" I said to the girl while offering her a peach, which ate in one bite like apple. "Want to come with me, I will feed you, protect you and shelter you from the world if you want to." I can't believe I said something so crige worthy. She looks at me and looks at the floor thinking then she looks at me.
My maternal instincts are tingling and before she could answer I hug the tiny girl. I can feel her struggling to part with my bear hug in vain, I can see her powers activating and I glow pink but nothing happens. I look at her an see her shivering... now I feel sorry about her. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you... I guess a part of me just wanted to hug and... that isn't helping." Think stupid she probably think I'm a pedo or something... "Please don't hand me over to the marines..." She said crying... "Why would I hand you over. I just really need your help growing a tree with your powers." She looked at me with wide eyes, and I just realize that she hadn't telled me about her powers yet...
I sigh and tell her that I know her and that I really need her help. "I'll get you off the island somehow if you help me age an Adam tree for 5,000 years worth using both of our powers. I'll shelter you and we can be friends too, I can help you get stronger if you want." I said with the most apolegetic face I can muster, then I realize that I'm still hugging the girl while she is sitting on my lap. "Will you really help me get stronger and cover my food expenses." She asked me while looking at me over her shoulders smiling. "I can only make fruits, vegetables, roots, some herbs and spices. I can't make cheese to make the pizza you love so much." I answer her and she gets surprised again and then laugh.
"Wow you have been stalking me haven't you. Guess also found a way to counter my Time fruit's power. Please keep that a secret." She said after laughing. Well she isn't wrong since she was one of my best wifus in the anime back when it was not my reality... though I don't know why her powers don't work on me though. "Wait your fruit was called Time Time fruit? And I really don't know why your powers don't work against me." I answered which got her to stop smiling. "Don't play dumb with me, my fruit is called Age Age fruit it's common knowledge. It allows me to manipulate the age of any living thing around me. I only use it for self defence though so I have never tried on a tree like you want me too."
"It's ok, I finally found a way to make Adam grow, you can train your powers while helping me age him the I'll fuse with it and be out of this Island. You can come with me and join my adventurers party." I said while offering her a pear, which she eats, again in a single bite. "What's an aventurers party? Is that the name of your pirate crew? Or are you with the revolution?" She asked me back and I gave her some grapes while answering her question. "I meant to say pirate crew but I mixed up some words there. You can be my first mate if you want, since you are the only person I have talked to since coming to this place, not counting the rude guard."
She finished her grapes asked me for something spicy so I gave her a jalapeño and handed her my trusty water bottle. Which she takes and drink a whole off not thinking that jalapeños were that spicy. If only she knew about the ghost peppers she would probably cry... I offered her a tangerine and she start pealing and eating with increased vigour. "Want to go with me to the woods? It is a lot easier to keep blooming fruits for you if I'm standing on fertile soil and been inside this alleyway sitting in this hard stone floor is hurting my bum. It's only a matter of time before someone spotted us."
"You want to take me to the woods on the first day of our metting, aren't you a bit too bold" she said while blushing a little...
You could have waited a bit and we could have a funny mother-daugther duo. I also find that bon accepts this way too fast
there is no world building. just because it is a fan-fic doesn't mean you can get away with that.
I added some line to describe a little of the background, you were right I basically asumed that those reading my novel have watched One Piece.
@Ruiso she can make cheese or even a already cooked pizza with plants if she goes to that one island that Ussop landed one at the timeskip as that whole island was a carnivorous plant that had other plants that produced all kind of food even cooked meat, cheese, candy, and other sweets(as the plant island did that to attract prey. It also had all kind of plant that can be used to fight as Ussop uses them
@DragonkingKyo interesting... Might take that idea thanks for reminded me now I need to find and optimal route for it in the later chaperts. Thanks for the idea, might make something op out of it XD
@Ruiso you welcome I said that because I wasn't sure if you remembered or not. I don't remember were if is I think it is in the first half of the grand-line, maybe you can look it up in a wiki if you can't find if there then just make up were it is.
@DragonkingKyo it is in Paradise just before Sabaody, I looked up at the map I got from the web, that is way to convinient XD
Thanks again for the sugestion XD
@Ruiso after looking it up the is called Boin Archipelago which is is a series of flower-shaped islands in the Grand Line. The island Usopp was sent to is home to the swindling forest of Greenstone called Glinston. Also, it is known to have a forest made of food, called the Forest of Gluttony.
The 'islands' hosts a large variety of unique plant species known as Pop Greens. The further one delves into the islands, the greater the variant of Pop Greens one can find
For more the info is on here:[https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Boin_Archipelago] and for some info on Pop Greens here:[https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Pop_Green]
@DragonkingKyo I may try to incorporate the pop greens too since they are so convenient, again thanks for the ideas
@Ruiso your welcome also are you planning on getting Nami and Robin?
@Ruiso Also is the futa tag real?(as plant can have male and female parts)(hope so there are so few futa MC)
@DragonkingKyo
Robin and Nami are at different oceans so getting them at this timeline were they are 12 and 2 years is kind of hard. This story takes place 15 years prior to the begining of the oficial story.
For your other question yes it is real, she is not a pkant, she is a human with a dryad powers thanks to her devil fruit. It started as a joke at first. Like imagine Adam's treasured wood, I didn't make that name by the way, with a straight face XD
@Ruiso I know she isn't a plant but since she has plant power(or more like her powers make her part plant) it makes a good reason why she can be a futa(or at least turn herself into one and then hide it to make herself look like a normal woman) as plants can have male and female flower on the same plant(in the MC's case male and female organs) As for the Nami and Robin thing since it is that far before the original will the MC get them in the future is what I meant?(since I had a feeling that the current timeline was going to be a few years before the original just didn't know how many)
@DragonkingKyo I might add them later after a couple of time skips, even if they are in diferent oceans now since my future boat will be able to pass the calm belt and a bunc of other obstacles. The main problem I think would be their location, I think Nami never moved from her home island and Robin it's always on the run so she could be anywhere.
@Ruiso robin should be in north blue right now.
@Ruiso he can just take the place of luffy when they find princess Vivy(mean get to her before luffy does) and beat Crocodile then get her. Unless you want to get her earlier?
@DragonkingKyo this chat line has ended.
@darkerby ????
@DragonkingKyo I was writing the next chapter so was kind of busy, Vivy is a good girl but she is to close in the story so by the time the main reach Alabasta she would be way too young. I could age her using Bonney's powers but she would still have the memories of a 2 years old. My main like children but not like that XD
She will befriend the king and Vivy but I don't know if mr. Crocodile is there with his sand fruit and all.
@Ruiso no I was talking about if you don't come up with a way to get her sooner as you don't know were Robin is you could wait a little time just before luffy sets off then get Nami go to the grand-line as Vivy will be their trying to get that whale which then the MC can follow the path of the original story a little(or a lot if you want) to get Robin.
An maybe get chopper too since her power can make all kind of medical plants. Hell you might be able to get that doctor woman that is taking care of him by making her younger.(though I judging by her personality she will want to stay behind to keep drum kingdom going)
