Forgiven, and off to an Adventure! Anime Shrink Interactive chapter 11 by copier · original author: tinylelouch

It was almost as if a mental conflict was playing out within the confines of Hancock's mind. Ever since her long past days as a slave Hancock and practically killed and/or petrified any living creature that so much as plucked a flawless hair from her head, but this was Luffy...her love, her future husband, the future Pirate King. It was a short battle between a fierce anger and an equally powerful love; love won in no time whatsoever. Her lips curling into a love-filled smile Hancock gently brushed Luffy with one of her toes, one of the few still unharmed by Luffy's pummeling. " Even if the result was a tad....different than expected you meant quite well. Of course I forgive you dear." A faint blush arose at the usage of a pet name at the pet-sized Strawhat, this was nothing but bold steps for her today!

Of course, ever dimly Luffy didn't grasp any hint of romance in Hancock's words and just grinned like he always did. "Thanks a ton Hancock!" The rubberman began to walk a couple of steps to give Hancock a nice hug for being so kind, a hug of friendship and not love mind you; but somehow the Captain found a way to mess that up. As if on cue a sharp jolt struck Luffy from within, a result of Gear Second no doubt; it wasn't a long usage of it so it didn't even really hurt, but it was enough to make Luffy stumble. And as fate would have it, by stumbling Luffy's lips somehow found their way to Hancock's sole. Albeit accidental Luffy had just kissed Hancock's foot. Naturally the two had very different reactions about this.Practically swooning in happiness Hancock's cheeks rose to a pure red as she began to mentally yelp in happiness. " He did it! He kissed my foot! He loves me so much he doesn't care if his lips touch a dirty sweaty foot! I knew he was the one!! " Her lovey-dovey feelings for the captain made all injuries Hancock had seem to just go away...heck even the bruises on her poor feet somehow found a way to heal right away. Of course this was far from the truth but Luffy didn't correct her, or even notice her basically fangirling over him. He was too busy gagging in overexaggerated disgust. Luffy was disgusted and Hancock was love-filled, neither one so much as hinting at noticing the other's very different feelings.

After a couple of minutes the drama did die down though, and once again Luffy found himself in Hancock's slender hand staring the giantess in the eye. She was eyeing him with more love than Sanji showed most women (Which was quite a lot) but it fell on deaf ears or rather, blind eyes in Luffy's case. "What're we gonna do now Hancock? Should I see Chopper about this?"

It was for an instant but Hancock's face showed pure dismay at the idea. Showing Luffy to the crew would essentially mean losing this perfect chance to be with her beloved. And there was no telling what any of them would do to him too, Chopper and maybe Brook were alright and safe but the rest of the crew....there was no telling. Zoro and Sanji tended to lack gentleness when needed, Usopp was a klutz, Nico Robin...there was no telling but she was a dark person, and Nami was all for self pleasure at others expense. Most of the crew was basically a danger to the captain. A selfish and a selfless reason....two very different types of reasons that agreed on one thing; Luffy wasn't going anywhere. But Hancock...could she handle lying right to Luffy's innocent if not dim face? She had no choice, "Well...you see...the crew went out. We....landed! Yeah, we landed on an island and they went for supplies!" Nervous sweat was on Hancock's brow, would Strawhat buy her lie?

He let out a childish laugh, "Hehehehehe! Alright! Adventure time then! Let's head to the island!"

Hancock was dismayed. Not just at how easily her lie was accepted, but how Luffy now wanted to adventure on this fake island. Hancock had gotten herself into quite a corner. "I really don't think that's a good idea Luffy! I mean, you are shrunken you know!"

"I'll be fine! After all I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"

So fearless, so adventuring, so...dim; but it was precisely why Hancock loved the little captain. She didn't even realize the words as they escaped her mouth, "Okay, but I'm going with you." She gasped as soon as she realized what she just did.

Luffy grinned widely, "Alrighty! It's a date!" He meant it more like a turn of phrase, a joke really; but boy Luffy used the wrong word there. Hancock's face turned redder than her revealing outfit, " He wants to go there on a date! WITH ME!! But the island doesn't exist!! What do I do? I can't just say no...it' a date!! " Panicking Hancock had only one idea, a very bad idea...but with Luffy it just might work....

"I...have a condition..."

Luffy showed hardly any interest, "Whatcha need?"

Hancock blushed further,"Well...to keep you safe...I'll need to put you... somewhere. "

Luffy was....asleep again!? Thankfully in an instant he woke up, not a care in the world. "No prob Hancock! Do what ya need!! Where you gonna put me?" He was thinking hair or ear...not the case.

Hancock blushed, "Well...I can't have you fall out or anything so it needs to be...secure. And I know a place that could work..."

"Where?" Luffy was NOT catching the hints.

"Well....I should just show you." Closing her hand around the captain Hancock placed him in...something...something soft. Once he was released Luffy saw he was in some...large black surface. It was soft...but that was all he could grasp with his rather questionable observational skills. "Where am I?" No concern was in his voice, just a regular ol question.

Hancock sighed. "My...
