Monkey D. Luffy

"You're tiny!" the straw-hatted pirate responded declaratively. Though evidently lacking tact, there was no edge of mockery to his voice, sounding instead like an enthusiastic observation. "You've gotta be pretty strong if you can use a sword that big when you're so small! You fight kinda like Zoro, d'you know him? What's that weird thing behind you, is that a friend of yours?"

Before he could resume his rapid-fire assault of questions on the poor flustered girl, he overheard Ryu speak, and looked back toward him, standing upright.

"An outlaw, huh?...." he mused. "That's like a pirate without a ship, right? And the son of a prince, too!....Wait....what do you call the son of a prince? A princette?" As he spoke, he absentmindedly reached out at Youma's phantom half in an attempt to touch it out of curiosity.

Luffy wasted no time in pivoting around to apologize to whomever he bumped into.

"Ahh, sorry! My bad! I was-"

When the blue-haired fellow placed a hand on his shoulder, he blinked in mild confusion. "...Eh? What? Crime? Are you guys pirates?" His attention then turned to Youma, just in time to see her deftly defeat a gang of men in the blink of an eye. Getting a good look at her as she came to a stop, his eyes widened, and his jaw sunk.

"...Woah.....Amazing!!"

He eagerly ran up to her, vaulting over the procession of unconscious bodies with ease, and came to a stop right in front of her, crouching down to her eye level.

"You're so short!"

Monkey D. Luffy

A lone barrel sat quietly in the midst of a bustling street...a peculiar sight, as there were no others like it sitting around nearby. More peculiar still were the noises it was making- or rather, the noises of the cargo that lay inside. Long, drawn out, loud snores emanated from within the oaken barrel. What could have been inside it? A captive? A smuggled animal? Bypassing townsfolk were no doubt curious, but none would open the barrel in time, as the snoring was suddenly cut off by a hefty yawn.

Then, the barrel twitched, then twitched again, then lurched a few feet in several directions. Then, all of the sudden, the barrel exploded, sending shrapnel to and fro in many different directions, having been burst open by the strong arms of its wide-mouthed, grinning occupant.

"AAAAAH!!! WHAT A NAP!!!"

Luffy yawned and stretched, enjoying his newfound elbow room after having escaped the confines of his resting place. Why did he even take a nap in that barrel to begin with? He couldn't rightly recall the reason, but it probably didn't matter, anyway. He was starving, and it was time for food! Wondering to himself what he wanted to eat this morning, he opened his eyes, expecting the lush, green, grass-covered deck of his ship, the Thousand Sunny.

"Hey, Sanji! Can I have fried meat for breakfast today-?"

What he saw, however, was a city street.

"....Eh?"

....A very unfamiliar city street.

".....Eh??"

In a completely unfamiliar city.

".....EHHHH!?"

He pivoted all around from where he stood, utterly baffled and confused. This wasn't his ship at all! Had the guys docked here while he was sleeping? He scratched his head, still trying to wrack his brain for the circumstances the night before which led to him being asleep in a barrel in the middle of a town....Eventually, however, he gave up on that endeavor, and decided to simply find where his ship could possibly be docked. Which was easier said and done, given his complete lack of knowledge of where the harbor would be....or which direction anywhere was at all.

No matter! Luffy resolved to simply pick a road and run right down it until he hit a body of water. Where water would be, the Sunny would no doubt be, as well. And so, he ran, racing through the city streets, ducking and dodging out of the way of passerby.

"'Scuse me! Sorry! Comin' through! Pardon m-...WAH- GAH!"

Having been facing the direction of the latest subject of his apologies, Luffy's back was turned completely from the direction he was running in, causing him to crash directly into someone....a blue-haired young man with his eyes closed, in fact.

Rubberman

Name: Monkey D. Luffy

Title: Straw Hat Luffy

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Personality: An endless font of excessive emotion, Luffy explodes with energy at almost all times. When he's happy, he's ecstatic, and when he's mad, he's furious. It's a good thing, then, that getting him seriously angry is almost impossible in most circumstances: Luffy is fun-loving and incredibly friendly to close to everyone he meets, up to and including people trying to kill him. Very little upsets him, save for eating his food, or hurting people he likes. He is fiercely loyal to any person he deems a friend...of which there is a very low baseline to be considered as such. Luffy is also incredibly selfish, doing many of the things he does solely on the grounds that he wants to do them, and making no other excuses for such.

Ideals: Luffy is Anarchy in human form. He seeks a life governed by absolutely no one but himself- a life of total, absolute freedom to go where he pleases and do as he pleases. It is for this reason that he chases the title of Pirate King in his world. He also values companionship and the bonds of comraderie intensely. A "captain" who abuses his "crew" is an enemy of his for life.

Biography: Born and raised on a small island in the middle of a mostly-harmless sea, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to live the life of a pirate when his idol, a pirate by the name of Red-Haired Shanks, saved his life at the cost of his arm. Entrusted with Shanks' straw hat as a memento, he set out for the seas on his own at the age of 18, determined to form a crew and become the legendary Pirate King by finding the fable treasure, the One Piece. In time, he amassed a crew of very powerful pirates and dear friends, and his journey to find the treasure of legend has led to countless adventures and conflicts, earning him a staggering reputation the world over. Once believed to be dead at the end of a bloody war, he reemerged with his crew two years later, ready to cause havoc once again.

Powers:

Gum-Gum Fruit: Luffy has consumed a Devil Fruit, which is said to grant whomever eats it extraordinary powers. The fruit Luffy ate turned his entire body, inside and out, into rubber. He is able to stretch his body incredible distances in a myriad of ways. However, they will inevitably snap back to his body's original shape, which allows him to use the elastic force of his stretching for powerful attacks. However, there is a drawback to eating the Devil Fruit: Luffy cannot swim. When submerged in any body of water up to his knees, he loses strength very quickly, and shortly becomes unable to move at all. This also applies when touching a very special mineral: Sea Prism Stone.

Gears: Luffy is able to utilize his powers in creative ways to increase his fighting ability.

-Gear Second: Luffy, using his rubber legs as a pump, speeds up the blood flow inside his own body a great deal, which causes it to vaporize his sweat and emanate steam. This increases his speed and power tremendously, to the point that his movement is completely invisible to the naked eye.

-Gear Third: Luffy bites into his thumb down to the bone and breathes air into it, inflating his very bones to humongous size, turning his body parts gigantic for incredibly powerful punches and kicks. He is able to shift the air inside his body to increase the size of different limbs.

-Gear Fourth: Luffy inflates his muscular system, and imbues it with Haki, making his body both incredibly dense and hard, but still rubbery. This makes him much larger, and causes him to bounce, but also enables him to compress his own limbs and fire them out during his attacks, to absolutely devastating effect. When exiting this form, he becomes unable to utilize Haki for ten minutes.

Haki: With training, Luffy has become able to project his own willpower into physical form in several different ways, an art known as Haki.

-Armament Haki: Luffy is able to project his will into a sort of spiritual armor, which makes him more resistant to physical blows and makes his strikes more powerful. It also enables him to touch and strike things that are normally intangible. When applied strongly enough, it coats whatever it is applied to in a jet black sheen, as though it were clad in cold iron.

-Observation Haki: Luffy is able to read the spiritual presence of life around him. This allows him to sense when people are nearby, and predict incoming attacks before they hit him, though this doesn't mean he is able to dodge them.

-Conquerer's Haki: Luffy is able to force his will upon the wills of others, in the form of a large psychic aura or pulse. When focused, he can render weak-willed individuals unconscious by thought alone, and place a mental pressure on his opponent.

Weapons: None

Equipment:

Straw Hat: Luffy's most prized possession, given to him by the pirate Shanks. He does not let other people touch it, and is ready to guard it with his life, or chase whoever steals or damages it to the ends of the earth.

@Yidhra Awesome!

So do I just pick a spot on the map and drop Luffy there?

~Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky~

Avalanche Sandrovich: Turntable

---

With his declaration, Avalanche was promptly shoved to the side by the approaching Elliot, who was at the board and out the door in the blink of an eye. "Oof-!.....Well, a hearty hello to you too, Kid...." He said, rubbing his arm. His ears then perked up at the sound of others making their intent to tackle his mission of choice. He often did these simple jobs by himself, since more help meant further splitting the reward....though, with the nature of this job, he could probably negotiate a big enough pay that it wouldn't matter. Never hurts to have help when the help is cheap!

He turned and looked at his fellow Chasers on the job. There was.....a creepy old guy, and.....a priest....Not exactly his idea of the ideal people for negotiating, but hey, maybe the priest would take a smaller cut! He quickly walked up to the two of them, putting on his million-dollar smile.

"So, looks like we'll be running this job together, huh?" he said to the pair in greeting. "Lemmie get the formalities outta the way. Name's Avalanche Sandrovich! As you can tell by this suit of mine, I'm quite the professional. So rest assured, you're in good hands for this one!"

At the priest's mention of protecting the innocent from the evils of the mansion, Avalanche chuckled and put a friendly arm around his shoulder. "Hey, hey, hey, listen..." He began. "Random urban legends like this start up aaaall the time, and they're usually either a buncha superstition, or misinterpretation o' the facts. I mean, think about it...Youkai's one thing, but a disappearing, kidnapping ghost mansion? That's just WAY outta the realm o' plausibility. So relax, take it easy! All we gotta do is go out, ask around town, get some facts straight, badda-bing, badda-boom, we're paid! So don't go lookin' for a fight or nothin', this kinda stuff's nothin' but conjecture."

No sooner had he finished his spiel that Aria made mention of an extremely dangerous SSS-Class Youkai possibly dwelling within the mansion.

".................NNNNNOTHIN' but conjecture."

Rolling up the mission poster and placing it in his pocket, he strolled out from the mission board and towards the door, stopping on a dime to turn and wink at Dinky. "Have fun while I'm gone, gorgeous! Let's have a real hero's welcome when I get back~..." He kicked off towards the door with a spring in his step and an excited disposition, looking back at his compatriots.

"Alright, boys, let's go out there and bust some myths! This is gonna be great! This is gonna be fantastic!"

---

"This is bullshit."

Avalanche stood at the crossroads, staring out at the not one, but TWO mysterious mansions in the distance. His once cheery demeanor was long gone, and he slumped over in despair so much his face was halfway to the concrete. He slowly turned toward his compatriots with sunken, defeated eyes, and slowly raised up his finger, pointing out towards the buildings.

"....You see that? What the fuck is that? That's two of 'em. Two. TWO real honest-to-God horror mansions. The fuck is this false advertisin'!?"

He pulled the job poster from his pocket and threw it on the ground in frustration, before straightening out and taking deep, sharp breaths.

"Okay...OKAY this is FINE, this is fine. Breathe IN.....breathe OUT.
