Hammer
by Chibimono Akuno
Once, Luffy stared at the lapping waves along the edge of the town's port. He was quite frustrated by his newly acquired ability of rubber and his equally acquired disability to sink like a hammer in sea water. He frowned unhappily at his rippling reflection and even stuck out tongue his at it.
His curiosity was held, however, when his image changed on the water's flowing surface. His reflection was no longer his own, but that of a girl's. He reached downward, his fingers skimming the sea to find the source of this new face looking at him.
The girl's face became wild and her hand caught his. Then down he went, into the water and toward the ocean floor. Her hand was on his chest, forcing him down. He could not breathe, could not move, and only sunk further underneath her. And he watched her angry face as he lost himself to the sea, not understanding why...? Why did she hate him so?
He was lucky that Ace had seen him tumble in.
-----
Oceanids, the sailors called them. Spirits of the Ocean. They had been known to help many sailors during storms. But to those who have taken the first bite of the Akuma no Mi, they were the reason you became a hammer.
They were spirits, beings beyond human, and they refuse to accept a mere human that gained powers equal to them. And so they sink them, using their control of the Sea to tap into the godly power that was stolen with one bite into the Devil's Fruit.
The Ocean, Luffy learned in his travels, is a jealous creature.
