Luna lay tucked in her bed with a damp cloth covering her forehead. She took rapid shallow breaths and grasped at her bed’s covers. Twilight and Fluttershy stood by her while their friends watched nervously.
“Princess, just keep breathing,” said Twilight as her horn lit up. “I”m going to try and reduce your temperature a little.” She glanced up at Fluttershy. “Monitor her, okay? If anything goes wrong, I’ll stop the spell immediately.”
“O-okay,” Fluttershy shook. “T-twilight, I’m worried. I only do this for animals, not ponies. I’m not sure I can—”
“You can!” Twilight asserted. “Fluttershy, we just need to keep her breathing until Princess Celestia finds a cure. I know you can do this!”
“I... I...” Fluttershy stammered.
“I have found the cause!” Celestia exclaimed as she entered the room with Luffy still bound by her fire.
“Princess! What are you doing to him?!” Fluttershy nearly shrieked.
“Isn’t it obvious? He’s the cause of this!” Celestia retorted. She loosened her magic and let Luffy fall to the ground.
“Hot! Hot!” Luffy blew on his smoking legs and then looked up. “What’s going on?”
“Princess Luna... she’s sick,” Twilight explained.
“More like poisoned,” huffed Celestia.
“Hey, wait a minute!” Pinkie yelled. “That’s jumping to conclusions! I told you that was bad!”
“Not now Pinkie Pie,” Celestia said through gritted teeth. “My sister is mortal danger.” She glared at Luffy. “Now tell me how to cure her.”
“Um... why would I know?” Luffy asked.
“Because you’re the reason she’s like this!” Celestia replied. “She has been acting odd ever since you barged into her room two nights ago. She complained of sickness last night, but when I came to check on her this morning she was barely breathing. I’ve done all the spells I can think of to remove toxins from her, but to no avail. My faithful student, you’ve been with her all morning, you know I speak the truth.”
Twilight avoided direct eye contact with her mentor. “I haven’t found anything either... but I don’t think Luffy caused this.” She looked at Luffy with stoic eyes. “No offense, but I don’t believe he could or would want to harm Princess Luna without us noticing. Besides, he has no motive.”
“He’s a pirate!” Celestia yelled. “That’s enough reason right there!”
“It’s not,” came a voice from the bed. Luna pushed herself up and blearily looked at her sister. “It is not.”
“Sister!” Celestia gasped. “Lay back down! You need rest!”
“No,” Luna replied while taking labored breaths. She focused her attention on Luffy. “Straw Hat, can you come over here?”
“Um, I guess,” Luffy replied and trotted over to Luna’s bed.
“Thank you,” Luna weekly replied. “What you said yesterday, was it true?”
Luffy corked his head. “About what?”
“About...” Luna paused and whimpered for a second. She slowly raised her hooves and placed them around the small piece of cloth that wrapped around her neck and undid the knot that held it in place. Celestia withdrew her breath, Twilight and her friends drew closer to see what Luna had revealed, and Luffy just corked hsi head again. “This,” Luna quivered.
Emblazoned on Luna’s chest was a large circle with three triangular points above it and one point below it. “Huh.” Luffy moved in to look a little closer. “What is it?”
Luna drew back and pulled the covers over her chest. “Y-you don’t know? B-but I thought you and the Celestial Dragons and...”
“Oh, those guys,” Luffy grimaced. “Yeah, they were jerks, so I beat them up.” A few tears fell down Luna’s cheeks. “Whoa whoa!” Luffy said as he flailed his front hooves. “Did I say something wrong?”
“No,” Luna cried. “You... you are the bravest creature I know!” She lurched forward and gave him a hug. “Thank you! Thank you!” she sobbed.
“Uh...” Luffy awkwardly turned to the other ponies in the room, all of whom’s mouths were touching the ground.
Celestia left her stupor first and marched over to Luna and Luffy. “Sister, what are you doing? He’s the reason you’re like this.”
“No,” Luna replied as she kept her hold on Luffy. “Sister, he’s done nothing wrong. I’m sure this is just some bad heartburn or bad food.”
“Hey, don’t blame meat,” said Luffy.
“Sister,” Celestia replied with a stern glare, “you are not just a little sick. You nearly died this morning! Furthermore I—” Her eyes went wide. “Did you say heartburn?”
“Yes, it’s just been hurting a little.” Luna raised an eyebrow. “You don’t think I have a heart condition do you?”
“No, but I think you have a poison condition!” She glared at Luffy. “I knew this was your fault!”
“I told you! I didn’t do anything!” Luffy yelled back at Celestia.
“Yes you did!” Celestia turned and started marching back and forth. “I should have known. The fever, the odd behavior, the heart condition.” She pointed a hoof at Luna. “You’ve been smitten by him!”
“What?!” cried everypony save for Luffy.
“You slime!” Celestia yelled. “How dare you seduce my sister!” Her mane caught fire and her eyes glowed bright.
“Sister, stop this!” Luna yelled back. “You are being just like me when I... I...” Luna’s eyes filled with fear. “S-sister, have you come into contact with Discord?”
“Of course I have!” Celestia glared down at Luffy again.”I did battle with him to defend Equestria after this monster freed him!”
“Sister,” Luna quivered, “you need to just calm down. This will not go well.”
“I know that!” Celestia roared. “It has not gone well since this pirate— this fiend— showed up! Banishment is not enough! He’s a toxin to this land and everypony in it. He. Should. Burn!” Celestia’s eyes went from glowing write to burning red. Her whole body spasmed and she screamed.
“Everypony!” Luna yelled. “Get down! She’s going to—” Her words were cut off by a wall of fire that sent everypony flying into the walls and took out a good chunk of the castle.
In the smoking remains, everypony laid unconscious. In the center of the mess stood a single figure. Her coat was as white as burning coals, her mane was a dark flame with flecks of blue spouting out at some spots, and her eyes were the deep red of a dying sun. Sharp and horrible golden armor covered her.
She looked around at the bodies of the ponies before her. She snorted and said in a voice that dripped with vengeance, “This kingdom has gone soft with princesses. It is time for a proper queen to rule it. I will purge everything and cauterize the earth’s wounds. I shall be known for the service I do. I am the blaze that will cleanse this land.”

Kishishishi! OOC you say? Whatever do you mean?
Let's see Luffy's Haki handle her before he becomes burnt rubber!

I think Luffy is going to need help from his crew this time.
Hmm, gotta come up with a name for evil Celestia, umm Searing Sun, err Queen Meanie, OOH, Sunspot, Raging Sunspot *MMMNPHMNPH*
Damn cupcakes.
If no one stops her, then they better get some butter because they're about to be toast.
And who will praise you, Celestia? The corpses of you subjects?
LUFFY PUNCH HER PUNCH HER IT THE FACE
Luna fell for Luffy. Now prepare yourselves as she then spends the rest of her life chasing the most clueless guy who's not interested in relationships ever!
1262224 She just said her name was blaze.
My reaction to what the Mark of the Dragon is doing on Luna: SONS OF BITCHES GONNA DIE! BRONIES AND PEGASISTERS... ASSEMBLE!
1262224
I originally thought along the lines of calling her either Solaris or Queen Iblis (referring to the flames of disaster "Iblis")
I bet Luffy's gonna use haki on her.
Burn baby burn disco inferno, burn baby burn..........is all I can see from this that and a great desire to say this to Celestia 'Hey chill out....'
Wait a minute they have enough magical power to move a celestial body, change a creatures species, make an energy shield, teleport, they also posses artifacts capable of sealing the god of chaos away, and they can go back in time but they can't heal a brand?
You poisoned my sister
I'm destroying Equestria
...
SEEMS LEGIT !
1262652
Oc Dust checking in
Also queen blaze. She really needs to simmer down or luffy is gonna beat the heat out of her.
Okay... I have to disagree with everyone saying things that this came out nowhere.
This didn't come out nowhere, there's been foreshadowing. For one thing, it seems odd that Celestia hasn't warmed up to Luffy even after Luffy defeated Discord and making friends with Twilight, not only that but her mane seemed like fire a couple chapters ago before calming down. Then there was Luna's line "S-sister, have you come into contact with Discord?”
I applaud you! This isn't just an awesome fic, but a well written one, I really can't wait to see what happens next! BECAUSE IT GOING TO BE AWESOME!

This is so AWESOME! I applaud you. This is an amazing fic, and you derserve a lot of praise. I'm very excited to see what happens next, and I know it's going to be more AWESOME WIN!

Ok, Im sorry I ranted...
The thing is that it was looking a little like bashing, something I don't like in fanfiction, but you handled it well and I did not see that coming, I hope you keep writing this awesome story.
You forgot an n at the end
1262652 Crazy Something (no, not Crazy What), sometimes unknown as That Which Exists at the Edge of Infinity, Who Spits in the Face of What is Possible and is Generally Unkind to Sanity and the Concept of Logic, reporting in (there needs to be a "HOW DARE YOU!" emoticon for Fluttershy, is inadequate for the current circumstances)
AWww shiat
Princess Celestia V.S. Strawhat Luffy!
Oh, this is going to be a good fight!~
This whole chapter in general... bad. Total MFW moment here,
[img] https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBWne8J0DQ0---N2YdYulIDLqmxz7MTguZdNDDrOGHV_1YRBSa[/img]
thank you Rainbow Dash. That is exactly what I was going for here.
No. Luna needs a Luffy and Story needs a Editor. Nobody involved needs rest.... well except for Luffy.
1262652 I concur, we must find away to reverse death!... Huh? What do you mean why? So we can bring them back after we kill them and kill them some more. Duh.
I wonder if Luffy is going to team up with Twilight to fight Celestia. Luna seems indisposed and Twilight is the only one technically powerful enough to fight Celestia. Then Luffy has Twilight join his crew and then no one can screw with them because now he has most powerful unicorn in the world as part of his crew. eh eh
So the bitch pony gets bitchier.
*sighs*
Time to call in the cavalry. Pirates. We need more pirates. Who troll Celestia.
1357438 i doubt she could beat that shark person
that luffy beat up
but if it's more pirates you want
then you should call for that 1 guy with the 50 ship fleet
I love how you replaced the Woman's island and Equestroa
so luna = boa hancock. i wonder if luna will ask luffy to marry her
1262652
*rides in on a giant red blue and yellow dragon*
Me: me and Susano are here to help!!!
this will fit perfectly!
1264015>>1262224 Let's just call her Solar Flare shall we?
oooooh, Celestia has either
A) Became 'discorded' by discord himself , or
B) Embraced her 'Nightmare' embodiment (pretty much nightmare moon, Celestia version).
1262652
*takes out flameberge and raises it into the air dramatically* FOR EQUESTRIA!!!$
2238952
...YES!!!!
1262943
I always thought Solar Flare sounded cool.
1262058Fosfosfos! Our little process has a few hitches in it, but she will become an obedient slave soon enough. Everyone's will can only last for so long before they are consumed with the desire to serve their rightful master!
OH NO DAY TERROR WILL SHROUD US IN ETERNAL DAY THE SUN IT BURNS US
... im hungry
I think this music is more suitable for Solar Flare's appearance, we wan't to keep it One Piece themed don't we?
So have Kizaru's theme for corrupted Celestia:
Oh and here the related picture:

1262075 BOO that was a terrible joke
3712277 Oh come on, I had to make that joke
*looks at the date of my previous comment* Man, my comment is old
PRINCESS! What has Discord done to you?! Okay, no need to panic! Who's panicking?! I'm not panicking! All we need is the Elements of Harmony, Luffy, Luna, plenty of Fire Trucks, Tanks, and an army of Water Elementals!
Rise of SOLAR FLARE
I'm just gonna lock my refrigerator, until this all blows over.
o heeeelllllllllllllll yah Luffy Is going to kick some flance
I know this may be a bit late, but when did Luffy ever mention Luna having a Celestial Dragon brand? I only bring it up because I'm confused. Luna talks to Luffy as if he's seen it on her before.
Well... there goes the NEIGHborhood
Love is always a HURRICANE!!!!
