A Rubber Pony in Equestria

by Lightbuster30

Who is This Guy?

"MEEEAAAT! The word had sent a shiver down the spine of everypony in the room. Without warning the cannibal pony launched itself at Pinky.

"Wait what now?" Pinky barley managed to duck out of the way.

"I can't believe it, we saved some cannibal pony?!" THIS is the guy you're throwing a party for Pinky?!" Rainbow shouted in both panic and rage.

"Get back here meat!" The pony lunged yet again towards Pinky, only to get slammed backwards by a blue blur.

"Alright you ungrateful cannibal, I don't know what your deal is, but if I were you I'd stay down!"

The pony sat straight up and said something. "Man you hit hard, but not hard enough meat!" Rainbow prepared to charge again before noticing the beige pony's expression go flat. It was an look of sudden confusion and contemplation, after for what felt like minutes his expression changed to one of awe. "WHOA COOL! It's a bunch of talking horses! Awesome!"

Everypony was in shock of this sudden change in behavior; first he tries to eat them, now he acts like he has never seen a pony before. Applejack was the first to speak up. "Whoa now, you try and eat us now all of a sudden you're acting all friendly? What's yer game?"

"Yeah but that was before I realized you were a bunch of talking horses! That's so cool!"

Twilight spoke up next. "First off we are not horses we are ponies. Secondly you are too. I can only conclude you have amnesia to not recognize a pony when you see one!"

"Are you dumb or something?" I'm not a pony, I'm a human." This sent an wave of confusion through everypony. 'A pony that thinks he is a mythical human? How ridiculous' they all thought.

"You really must have amnesia, humans are mythological creatures, an old Tall Tale to scare disobedient colts and fillies." Stated Twilight.

"I'm not a pony you idiot! I'm a human. 'Hue-man."

"Oh really Mr. Human? Well why don't you go take a look at yourself?" Rainbow Dash smugly challenged.

Luffy took one good look at himself, and was shocked to discover that he was indeed a pony. "Whoa cool, I'M a pony! But I remember being a human just a few days ago. Maybe that bear jerk did something to me when he sent me flying.

"Are you sure you're a human?" Asked Twilight.

"Yeah and even if you were that doesn't help your case. Humans in stories are evil creatures who enslave or eat ponies." Rainbow added.

"Well I'm not like that! I only beat you up if you mess with my friends!"

"Look." Twilight inturrupted. If you REALLY think you are a human then I might have a way to see if you are delusional or not."

"And just how are you going to do that deary?" Rarity questioned.

"Remember when Discord brainwashed you all l, and I had to use a memory spell to break it? If I can use it on him, I could see into his memories, You can't fake experiences." She turned to the beige pony. "Do you mind?"

"Nah not really. Wait you can do magi..." No sooner than he answered Twilight's question had she placed her horn to his forehead, and Twilight was in his memories.

Twilight was now in the pony's memories. She saw many bits and pieces, such as when he declared war on something called the "World Government," or when he freed an entire kingdom from a tyrannical man with sand powers, all for the sake of his friends. But these weren't what Twilight was looking for, she was looking for recent memories. She finally stumbled onto them. It was an horrible memory. There were 10 figures, 9 she recognised through previous memories, but the 10th she knew nothing of. He was an tall hulking man with a target on his shirt, paws on his hands, and bear ears, "Clearly this must be the 'Bear-Jerk' the pony had mentioned." Twilight thought to herself. One by one the hulking figure hunted down the other 9, seemingly erasing them with Luffy growing more desperate and angry each time, until finally only he was left. He was on his hands and knees smacking the ground with his fist, and he muttered something.

"What the hell is wrong with me? I couldn't save any of them!" His voice was breaking, on the verge tears. Despite the conflict Twilight and her friends had with him, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

The massive figure approached and stopped short of Luffy. "This is where we part. We won't ever see each other again." Luffy shot his face at Kuma's, one full of both hate and fear. *POP* Just like the others he had dissapeared upon touching the paw, and Twilight was forced out of the memories.

"Twilight? You alright there sugarcube?" Twilight had an Tear trinkling down her cheek after seeing the horrible memory.

"What did you see in there Twilight?" Fluttershy had asked.

Rainbow spoke next. "Yeah is this guy a loon of not?"

After a short moment Twilight spoke up. "Everything I saw checks out: His injuries, the Bear creature sending him flying, his human claims. I can safely conclude that he is a human. Why he is a pony I have no clue."

"So he IS a human! In that case tie him up Applejack! " Rainbow had hollered.

"No wait! I know he is a human but I saw dozens of his memories, he doesn't seem like a bad pony er I mean human from what I saw. A bit stupid maybe, but not evil."

"But Twilight!" Rainbow objected. "He is a HUMAN, you know the stories about these guys!"

"And I saw his memories and actions, and he exhibited none of the traits our stories claim!"

"He tried to eat us!" Rainbow shouted.

"Humans are omnivores. He likely hasn't eaten for days. That's not malice, that is survival. And from what I've seen he is an massive meat fan. By this point he doesn't look interested in eating us anymore."

"Bu-Oh fine! But don't think this makes us friends. I got my eyes on you."

Suddenly Luffy began to panic. "Oh crap where is it?! Where is my hat?!"

This time Fluttershy spoke up. "Oh um I have it, I took it off so it wouldn't get in the wa-" She was inturrupted by Luffy suddenly snatching it out of her hooves.

"Don't touch my hat! It's my treasure, I don't know what I'd do if it got damaged." Everypony was in shock at his sudden rudeness.

"THAT ugly thing is an treasure? Why it can't be worth more than 2 bits." Rarity questioned.

"It doesn't have to be worth anything. A treasure is something you hold close to your heart. This hat was given to me by an great man named Shanks, he saved my life. I promised him I'd return it when I became a great pirate. So I have to keep it safe until that day."

"Ooh you're a pirate? Do you rob villages and bury treasure? Where's your eyepatch and peg leg Mr. Pirate? Pinky excitedly asked.

"Nah we only rob pirates and bounty hunters. We never attack innocent people. And I'm not just any pirate, I'm gonna be the best!" Luffy suddenly shot up on his hind legs. "My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm gonna be...KING OF THE PIRATES!"

And just who is the pirate king Mr. Luffy? Asked Applejack who was in awe at his boast.

"The Pirate King is the man with more freedom than anyone else. To earn that title you have to find the 'One Piece' left by Gold D. Roger."

"And who is that?"Applejack asked again.

It was Luffy's turn to be shocked. "WHAA? What do you mean who is Roger? He was the first pirate king who, sailed the grandline in an epic adventure before he turned himself in."

"Did he get captured?" Twilight asked.

"Nah I think he was dying anyway, so he had nothing going to lose.

"But that sounds so scary, what if you end up dying?" Fluttershy was worried.

"Then I guess I die. As long as I tried I don't really mind." Everyone was flabbergasted that this man, this pony, was so willing to throw his life away for the sake of his dream. He was either crazy or stupid, possibly both.

"Well" Twilight inturrupted "This has been very interesting but let's introduce ourselves before we go any further. I'mean Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends Applejack Rarity, Pinky Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash." At the mention of her name in Rainbow huffed in annoyance and left.

"What's her problem?" Asked Luffy.

"Oh she is just mad you ruined her stunt. Pinky had stated.

7901090 The bubble could have got caught in some magic rift thing caused by a rouge magic impulse which is the result of a unicorn's (who is not Twilight sparkle. To cliché. Maybe Discord or a dragon.) Magic overload possibly a filly who has been startled into using magic in a similar way to how Twilight got her cutie mark. This rift could have been the sort which stays open until forced closed. This sort of plot would give you leave to add and remove One Piece characters at will as well as diverging from all clichés which I have come to expect from One Piece/Equestria fanfictions. This would also allow you to send Luffy home at the end or not depending on the situation. Of course this would only work if you don't have anything specific in mind or if you don't plan for ponies to have knowledge of the One Piece universe.
Discord's interference is also possible. He could then have sent the bubble's of the whole crew into Equestria to defeat something or another then send them back home, if this is the case power levels need to be taken into consideration as well as Discord's stance with the princesses. Of course if you have the whole thing written or planned all ready don't bother listening to me, I have the bad habit of doing this sort of thing.

[Lightbuster30]

7903353 Nah it's fine. I have most of the story planned out. A couple plot points I have require that Equestria be a part of the One Piece planet, and not an alternate dimension. Like I said, things should fall into place after introductions.

[The Spirits Demise]

7903389 ok welp thanks for actually reading my rambles

[Lightbuster30]

7903418 Hey I tend to ramble myself.

Chapter 3 is currently being made btw. I see too many good stories get shafted, and I have too much free time to let that happen to mine. So expect chapters in fairly quick succession.

[The Spirits Demise]

7903458 I'll wait patiently for the next chapter then! stay awesome!
Although I do have to ask, are you going to have the whole crew or just Luffy?

[Lightbuster30]

7903875 Well TBH the only real thing keeping me from chapter making is my phone charge. I have lots of free time.

Doubt it. After some equestrian adventures, Luffy is gonna do the War Arc. Currently debating with myself whether or not to have the name 6 accompany Luffy, watch him via magic, or off screen the arc . Maybe after the war for some minor adventures, but that's it.

[Lightbuster30]

7903939 There is another option that involves all the straw hats landing in different places in equestria, but that would feel too coincidental, and bad story telling imo.

[The Spirits Demise]

7903950 huh, well what about the countries surrounding equestria? It wouldn't be as coincidental then. Well either way just so long as you enjoy writing it and people enjoy reading it then all is good. I need to stop though after all work doesn't get done itself I'm just lazy though so imma stay in bed reading fanfiction. But yeah I think this is going to go well, best of
luck
