Fanfic / Monkey and Butterfly

A crossover between One Piece and Star vs. the Forces of Evil by Emma Iveli.

When Star Butterfly was 6, she stole a pair of dimensional scissors and ended up in what is called the Blue Dimension. There she met a boy named Monkey D. Luffy.

8 years later, Star is sent to earth, however she still goes on adventures with Luffy who is now her sworn brother and her new friend Marco Diaz. Of course things are going to be insane fighting monsters, pirates and other evils of the universe.

This fanfic contains examples of:

• Abhorrent Admirer: Pony Head to Ace, which shouldn't be too surprising.
• Accidental Misnaming: Luffy of course, calling Moon "Queen Mom", one point calling Tom "Shawn", he calls Mina Loveberry "Serena Lovecherry" and "Lita Lovemelon" and calls Tad "Chad".
• Actor Allusion: Luffy thought Tom's name was Shawn.
• Big Brother Instinct: Luffy, Ace and Sabo are very protective of Star and of course will protect her no matter what.
• Blatant Lies: River when he claims that he doesn't know what Sabo's job is to Moon.
• Brick Joke: In chapter 49, Sabo tells Ace that after everything he did to Jimbei, Koala wants to punch him next time she sees him. 6 Chapter later she does so, though she almost forgets to due Star's kidnapping
• The Cameo: Canon!Star briefly appears in Chapter 50 as the chapter takes place during that math class and shows what happened when she got to the universe in the time loop.
• Chekhov's Gun: at the end of chapter 50, Janna asked Glossaryck to teach her a memory erasing spell. This ends up becoming important in chapter 55, where she becomes key in the Star rescue mission by erasing the memories of the Marines and the Celestial Dragon so they don't get in trouble.
• Deadly Euphemism: A downplayed example, it's clear that River wouldn't kill them but rather beat them up when he says that he would give Sabo's parents "A piece of his mind"
• Early-Bird Cameo:
  • Zoro (adept unnamed) appears in chapter 11 thanks to a sneeze cut.
  • Chapter 12 involves Star, Luffy and Marco meeting Law and towards the end of the chapter Bepo.
• Empowered Badass Normal: As a reward for clearing her trial, Hekapoo gives Marco a devil fruit in addition to his dimensional scissors, telling him it's his choice to eat it if he wants. He does so during Ludo's takeover and gains the ability to teleport and make portals.
• Family of Choice: It's not just Star, Luffy, Ace and Sabo becoming siblings, but it's clear that Garp sees Star as his granddaughter while River and Moon sees Luffy, Ace and Sabo as their sons. Sabo and Ace have also accepted Marco as part of the family.
• Everyone Has Standards: After realizing that Sabo is abused, River wants to find Sabo's parents and "give them a piece of his mind". Moon is against it as it might seem like he's going to attack random people, but River points out that they would more likely cheer him on for beating up child abusers. Moon is still against the idea however...
• Foreshadowing:
  • A couple about about River before the reveal about both his knowledge about the Blue Dimension and his hunting trips
    • During the flashback to the events of Romance Dawn, Star mentions her dad is a real man and he does is sit on his throne all day. It cuts back to the present where Star and Luffy are laughing hysterically about what she said.
    • Star lists off her dad as one of the people who tried to teach Luffy that directions don't work the way like he thinks, the next chapter it's revealed that that he's very much aware that the boys aren't from Mewni.
  • There's two instances that hint at Luffy being a blind spot in Glossaryck's future sight
    • Glossaryck states he wasn't expecting Luffy to be locked in Star's closet.
    • Glossaryck is confused at many points during chapter 28 and implies (and later outright confirms) that he foresaw canon events instead of what happens
  • In chapter 56 Ruberiot is strangely upset that Luffy, Ace and Sabo are from the Blue Dimension, even mentioning debts for some reason. It's later revealed that it was popular to bet which dimension they're from.
• Hawaiian-Shirted Tourist: Star disguises Ace and Sabo in the get up when visiting Baterilla.
• Hilarious in Flashback: During Romance Dawn flashback, Star points that her father is a real man despite sitting on his throne all day. While it's not shown until later, Star and Luffy are very much aware of it when retelling the story to Marco.
• Hope Spot: It takes the canon one of Star destroying Marco's cage and makes it worse, as once it regenerates not only is Marco still in the cage, but Luffy entered it when it was destroyed and was still in it when regenerated, meaning Toffee has two hostages instead of one.
• I Always Wanted to Say That: Gregor (a member of the blue freedom pirates) has a list of these. Two of them are "It's quiet... too quiet" and "Go on! I'll hold off this crazy cat army!"
• "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Luffy with the possessed Marco in chapter 41.
• In Spite of a Nail:
  • Rafael and Angie still end up in a hot spring wearing only their fanny packs despite their trip to Mewni being much different than canon.
  • Sabo still joins the revolutionary army and teams up with Koala, though as a pirate captain and much later than canon.
  • Much of what happened to Luffy when visiting Amazon Lily still happens.

• Ironic Echo: A rather interesting variation, when Star finds out Ludo found her he replies "Wouldn't you like to know." with Star replying "Yeah, that's why I asked." the conversation repeated later in the chapter this time with Ludo asking about Ace's new powers.
• Literal Metaphor: Sabo's explanation on Mewberty
  Sabo: You see Marco Mewberty is a time in a Princess of Mewni's life where she temporally transforms into a boy crazy monster.
  Marco: Is that a...
  Sabo: It's not a metaphor.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Chapter 56 reveals that Queen Moon was one of the few people in Mewni to not know or figure out that Luffy, Ace and Sabo were not from Mewni.
• Mama Bear: After discovering that Sabo's mother fretted over another boy while her own son was injured, Moon is okay with River giving Sabo's parents "A piece of his mind".
• Mythology Gag: In chapter 14 Star creates a map showing the marines as red dots and an unknown faction as yellow dots referencing One Piece: Pirate Warriors
• No Sense of Direction: Played with, as with canon Luffy thinks that it will get colder if you go north however despite this, he somehow knows his way around Quest Buy to the extent that Star knows to call him if they're going to make a trip.
• Must Have Caffeine: The Blue Freedom Pirates loses its coffee supply and the majority of the crew mutinies over it, though a small group remaining loyal to Sabo does put a stop to it, four of them thankfully avert this trope.

  • The Blue Freedom Pirates once faced off against a crazy cat army...
• "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer:
  • One about Glossaryck paraphrasing Charles Manson.
  • One about Meat Cakes being a thing (A meat loaf like cake cake over mashed potato frosting)
• Not So Above It All: Lekemt of all uh... goats, betted on which dimension Luffy, Sabo and Ace were from.
• Odd Friendship: Between Luffy and the Quest Buy Sloths. Whenever one sees Luffy they always greet him with a "Hey Luffy!" which he responds with a "Hey!". They also know if he gets into a fight with someone to always bill the other guy. Luffy also pays for any food he takes from the store.

  • As revealed in Chapter 25, thanks to Star saving Ace and Luffy from Blue Jam before the fire, they're able to make sure that Sabo never loses his memory instead coming to live with Star in the palace for nearly a year. This allows him to become a pirate when he grows up.

  • Ace gets one in chapter 22:
  Ace: All right, let's get inside and save Marco from his beard. (Beat) Which is not the weirdest thing I said this week…
  • Gregor (a member of the Blue Freedom Pirates) not only said "Go on! I'll hold off this crazy cat army!" but it was on a list of things he always wanted to say.

• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Played for Drama, Star becomes this after her kidnapping, while she doesn't say the S or F words she does engage in what the other characters call "Casual Swearing". Before then she only swore when she was extremely upset so it's clear that she's dealing with the trauma of her kidnapping.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: River and Garp have a Comically Lopsided Rivalry. River takes umbrage with Garp's so-called "parenting" while Garp resents the fact that his grandkids like River more than they do him. The reason it's lopsided is because even on his day, River is no physical match for Garp.
