Equestria

Celestia sat at her throne, listening to the last noble that would attend her day court for that day. After answering his plea and declining it due to it being very questionable, she slumped in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"When there isn't any world threatening monster about everything here is just so dull." Rubbing her temples with her hooves she sighed. "I know that something will happen when I say this but...I just want something exciting to happen around her that isn't just gone with a shot of the elements of harmony."

Little did the sun princess know, there was someone that would make her wish come true.


Ashley's POV, Earth

Hi, my name is Ashley, but my friends usually call me Ash for short. I am 17 years old and I am a huge fan of One Piece. What! You haven't heard of One Piece? How dare you! Allow me to give you a short description.

One Piece is an anime that is based in the days of pirates. It's world has one huge continent called The Red Line that separates the sea into two pars. However there is a great sea that separates the world into four part, this is known as The Grand Line. The four seas of this world, East Blue, West Blue, South Blue and North Blue, all have multiple islands that each bring something new to those who travel the seas. The pirate king, Gold Roger or you can call him by his real name Gol.D.Roger, obtained everything the world had to offer, wealth, fame and power. With his dying words he shook the world. "You want my treasure? You can have it, I left it all in one place, now you just have to find it!" These words drove countless souls to the seas, in search of the one and only, One Piece!

The story takes place twenty two years after Rogers execution, and no one had found the One Piece. A young man named Monkey.D.Luffy dreams of becoming the next pirate king and sets out to explore the bast oceans and along the way he finds extraordinary people to join his hearty crew.

Now this is where things get interesting. You see, in the world of One Piecethere exists a special fruit, the devil fruits. If a person were to even take one crumb of these fruits and eat it, they would be given supernatural powers. Some are useless but some have the power to cause freakin earthquakes with a punch! They exist in three variants, Paramecia (superpower) Zoan (Animal) Logia (Elemental). There is a weakness to these Godlike powers, whoever eats the fruit loses their ability to swim as the ocean turns against them, kinda inconvenient for pirates dontcha think?

You get all that? Good, now we can begin. As I said I am a huge fan of the show and I am also a pegasister. I am a little embarrassed to say this but I am a Fire Fist Ace fan girl, I don't mean that I think he is the best character, I am literally obsessed with him. That's why for this years Comic Con I was going as a gender swapped version of him, although the way the costume is it might cause a few nerds to have a heart attack.

The costume consists of a pair of short black jeans with a large belt around it that held a sheathed knife. A backpack that held nothing as that would hold the stuff I bought at the Con later that day. A large orange hat that had a pair of goggles on the top with one lense having a smiley face while the othe had a frowny face. A red beaded necklace and lastly a white bra...that was it, a bra. I couldn't even find a shirt that could fit the costume so I guess I'll just have to be a piece of eye candy this year.

Anyway, I was in my brothers sports car. His name was Frank and he was, funny enough, going as Franky. "Couldn't you wear something a little less revealing sis?" He was a pretty buff guy, great muscle and smooth skin. He generally attracted a lot of attention from the girls in his collage, although he never strayed away from his girlfriend Samantha, who was waiting for us at the Con dressed as Nico Robin.

"I tried to find something Frank, but I couldn't. I already spent a crapton of money on all this I am not wasting it. Plus it'll be funny to see all the nerds reactions." He groaned and faceplamned.

"What am I going to do with you Ashley?"

"Love me forever, protect me, scare off my boyfriends, go along with my crazy schemes and just follow me wherever I go because you don't trust me." He just remained silent.

We pulled up to the parking lot of the Con and got out of the car. Frank walked to the trunk of the car to put on the rest of his cosplay. He put on large robot arms with spherical shoulder pads. He had a metal nose and some sunglasses. He had a Hawaiian shirt and a blue speedo. He dyed his hair blue and combed it until it looked like a hairstyle from the 80's. "Only you can actually pull off Franky without looking ridiculous bro." He rolled his eyes and locked the car.

"Let's go, I don't wanna keep Samantha waiting. More importantly I don't want any desperate teens hitting on her." I chuckled and skipped along beside him as I imagined what the events that were scheduled would be like. There was a showing of One Piece Film Z later on and I have been dying to see it.

As we walked onto the grounds we immediately heard a familiar voice. "Yoohoo! Frank, Ashley!" We looked over to see Samantha walking towards us. She wore a tight leather dress with stockings and boots. Her hair was dyed black and was straightened, her skin was tanned. "Hello you two."

"Hey babe, looking gorgeous as ever." Frank hugged her and they kissed, causing me to gag. "So, you ready to go in?" She nodded and we began walking up to the entrance, them walking hand in hand. We decided to split up as they both wanted to look at the Marvel and DC Universe stalls. I however went straight to the anime panels, Eiichiro Oda the creator of One Piece was supposed to be here at a QnA along with the FUNimation and Japanese voice actors for the show.

On my way I accidentally bumped into someone, causing us both to fall over. "Oh my goodness I am so sorry!" The person got up and dusted himself off before holding out his hand to help me up.

"It's quite alright, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, to busy admiring this beauty." This boy was dressed as Trafalgar Law. He reached into his coat and pulled out a piece of fruit, but not just any fruit, it was the Mera Mera No Mi, or the Flare-Flare fruit for those who don't know. Fire Fist Ace's devil fruit.

"How did you get that?"

He looked at me confused. "Oh, I bought it from this really creepy dude a few panels back, gave it to me for just thirty bucks, sucker." He looked me over, but not the way you'd expect, he was looking over the costume. "Hey, nice gender swap cosplay."

"Thanks, I like your Trafy costume." He looked to the fruit then back to me.

"Hey, tell you what. I'll give you the fruit if I can get a picture with you."

"Done!" I don't care what this go was going to do with the picture but I needed that fruit for some reason. He smiled and pulled out a camera. He stood beside me and we leaned against each other.

"Say, Equestria!"

"Equest- Wait what?" He took the picture and handed me the fruit.

"Pleasure doing business with you..." His black eyes turned purple, "...Portgas.D.Ashley." My vision became blurry, soon becoming completely black. "See you soon." With that I passed out.


Equestria

I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by a soft ray of sunlight that managed to pierce through the leaves of a tree. Slowly siting up I took in my surroundings, I was on a hill in a field of grassy hills with a large tree giving me shelter from the sunlight. The grass flowed in waves as the soft breeze blew across the tiny plants. The field seemed to go on for a long way, but I saw a forest near the horizon.

Rubbing my face I stood up. I then looked at my hands and froze. My fingers were slimmer that they were before. Looking over my body I noticed I had a killer figure. My waist was small and my hips were a little wide, my legs were longer and slimmer, as were my arms. My skin was silky smooth. Seeing a puddle nearby I walked over and looked at my reflection. My face was smoother and I had adorable little freckles under my eyes. My hair was short and black, consisting of spikes that went down rather than up. My eyes were also turned grey and they were noticeably bigger.

I then realised I was still in my Ace costume. Looking at my arm I noticed a tattoo that was no there before. It was the letters A, C, a crossed out S and an E. It was official, I was the actual gender bent Ace. "This cannot be real."

"Oh it's real alright." Turning back I saw a young man standing there in a purple trench coat and long grey hair, his underclothes were grey and his eyes...wait those are the eyes of that Trafy guy. "Now now, let's not get angry at anyone."

I just stared at him. "Who are you?" He chuckled and leaned against the tree.

"The name is Symbol, and I'm your displacer." That sentence right there, that was when I realised what the hell was going on.

"YOU DISPLACED ME?!?!" I yelled causing him to flinch.

"Um, yeah that's what I just told you." I slowly approached him with a stern expression. He had his back against the tree as I was right up in his face, he was only few inches taller than me. I then brought him into a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you!"

"Huh...you are taking this remarkably well." He just smiled as I hugged him. Then I realised something which caused me to set him down and slap him.

"You displaced me in skimpy clothes you jerk!" I covered my chest and huffed.

"Hey, I don't control what you wear when you get displaced. If you had just asked I would have given you a shirt or something." He snapped his fingers and a yellow shirt appeared.

"Actually, I think I'll stay this way, gives me more freedom and allows my skin to breathe." He just shrugged and the shirt vanished.

"Anyway, I don't think I have to explain to you where you are, so I'll just be leaving, Canterlot is that way, Ponyville is that way." He was about to disappear when I placed a finger to his...well built chest.

"Oh no you don't, you got me into this and you are gonna help me control my new fire powers." I grabbed his hand and began leading him in the direction of Ponyville.

"Hey! I have important stuff to do!"

"Yeah well I don't care, you're staying with me during this!" He shut up and just had a dumbfounded look on his face as I dragged him.

Author's Notes:

Frank and Samantha will get their own story at some point. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this so far, feel free to comment and suggest a situation you want Symbol and Ashley to get into.

Also, this is basically what Ashley looks like
