My Little Pirates: Luffy's Adventures in Equestria is a story written by Fullmetal Pony that is found on [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/19208/my-little-pirates-luffys-adventures-in-equestria Fimfiction]]. Like its name implies, the story is a crossover between OnePiece and MyLittlePony:FriendshipIsMagic, with the story taking place at some point during Season 3 and what was supposed to be the Amazon Lily arc. The major difference in the crossover is that Boa Hancock and the characters of Amazon Lily do not exist. Instead of that, Equestria takes place as the setting for Amazon Lily and Princess Celestia replaces Hancock as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After Luffy is transported into Equestria, he begins to have many misadventures, which ultimately bring him to Impel Down on a quest to save his brother Ace from being executed.
A small side story featuring Trafalgar Law named [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/191842/my-little-pirates-doctors-orders My Little Pirates: Doctor's Orders]] focuses on his misadventures in Equestria after the Battle of Marineford.
----
!! Tropes include
* ActionGirl: Celestia, Luna, and the Mane Six.
* AdaptedOut: Boa Hancock or any other characters from Amazon Lily never existed in the universe of this story.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Ace suffers this due to the damage he suffered against Akainu.]]
** [[spoiler:Celestia loses a hind leg during a fight with Blackbeard.]]
* {{Animorphism}}: Inverted with Celestia and Chrysalis, who are ponies (or a look alike in Chrysalis' case) that can turn into humans. Their fighting style is similar to all Zoan Devil Fruit users as they can use magic to summon their wings to fly or turn back their limbs to their original equine shape for devastating hits.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: There is a two year TimeSkip that correlates with the one that happens in canon, at which point Luffy reunites with the rest of the Straw Hats [[spoiler:while the Mane Six decide to give piracy a try as the Harmony Pirates.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Shining Armor gets one from Cadance for hurting Twilight, pointing out that it's the second time he's hurt her feelings since the Canterlot Wedding.]]
** PlayedForLaughs when Trixie slaps Buggy and Mr. 3 for abandoning her, Mr. 2, and Luffy in Level 5.5, while Mr. 2 delivers spinning kicks to their faces as well.
** During the Battle of Marineford, Celestia uses magically enhanced versions of this in order to knock out the Whitebeard pirates that were strong enough to survive her Conqueror Haki.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Star Swirl's final spell is more awesome in comparison to its canon counterpart, but it has it's disadvantages.
** Star Swirl created it to use the full power of the Elements of Harmony, except that he didn't embody the virtues of any of them so he was stuck with a useless spell.
** Celestia successfully used the spell after Luna's banishment to use the Elements [[spoiler: against Tirek. However, it cut her connection to the Elements forever and she took years to recuperate from the strain of using it.]]
** Twilight uses it again [[spoiler: during the fight with Tirek. It gives her a SuperMode that temporarily makes her an alicorn and allows her to fight on par with a weakened Tirek. Unfortunately, it has a time limit and the canonical FreakyFridayFlip kicks in as Twilight's friends continue to fight on her stead.]]
* BadassPacifist: Unlike her fellow Warlords, Celestia is appalled by the Battle of Marineford, making it her mission to end the battle as soon as she helps Luffy get Ace safe and sound. At one point, she uses Conqueror Haki to knock out Marines and pirates alike as a way to subdue them without hurting them. However, strong willed pirates and dangerous enemies turn her into...
** MartialPacifist: She uses human martial arts augmented with hooves, magic, and Haki to pummel every opponent that she sees into submission should they prove to be a threat to her.
* BalefulPolymorph: Every human character who travels to Equestria will be turned into a pony, unable to recover their original form until they get out of Equestria's borders. Ponies are not affected when they visit the Grand Line though.
** [[spoiler:Trixie suffers from this thanks to Tirek.]]
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Discord tries this with [[spoiler:Luffy. Subverted in that although Discord held his own and caused Luffy to faint by the end of the fight, he was still defeated due to Luffy having more skill and experience with his powers and as a fighter.]]
* [[spoiler:BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: It wasn't envy at her sister that caused Nightmare Moon to exist. It was Luna's trauma and hatred towards humanity that was induced in her due to her torture by the Celestial Dragons that led to her transformation.]]
* BerserkButton: Celestia is NOT fond of pirates. To a minor extent, she is not fond of Crocodile.
* BigSisterInstinct: Celestia had this when Luna disappeared and she traveled to the Grand Line to save her.
* BornWinner: [[spoiler:Out of the Mane Six, it is revealed that [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] has the most talent in Haki. She already has Observation Haki and her Stare is actually Conqueror Haki...and this is before Luna started her TrainingFromHell.]]
* CombatPragmatist: Not only the pirates of the Grand Line are this, but some of the ponies as well when push comes to shove.
** Celestia does not hesitate to approach her enemies silently with stealth or pacific behavior [[spoiler: before shifting her human leg into her pony leg and kick them when they are not expecting it, as Crocodile and a random Whitebeard pirate can assure. She also did not hesitate to give Chrysalis a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown when she was distracted in the middle of their fight.]]
** The Mane Six don't hesitate to [[spoiler:use the Elements of Harmony on Discord and Blaze once they were beaten by Luffy.]]
** As expected from Chrysalis, she won't hesitate to attack [[spoiler:Celestia while she is distracted, use her VampiricDraining in random fighters to power up every time Celestia has her on the ropes, or send her Changeling soldiers to gang up on Celestia.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Celestia has [[spoiler:seastone cuffs to prevent Ace from using his powers, knowing that he is going to try to leave Equestria to reunite with the Whitebeard Pirates.]]
* CurbstompBattle: Discord delivered hundreds of these to Celestia and Luna before they finally returned the favor with the Elements of Harmony.
* DarkActionGirl: Chrysalis
* DeathGlare: Fluttershy's Stare. [[spoiler:It is revealed that she is releasing Conqueror Haki when she uses it, hence why she can intimidate dangerous enemies in spite of her shy nature.]]
* TheDreaded: Discord is this to Celestia, even mentioning that she never hit him in her entire life. [[spoiler:Tirek is much worse after he escapes Tartarus.]]
* DreamWeaver: Luna can still do this as per canon. It becomes a focal point in [[spoiler:the Mane Six (sans Twilight)'s TrainingFromHell since Luna's control allows her to summarize [[YearInsideHourOutside years of training in a few hours of sleep. Thanks to that, the girls learn Haki just in time to defend Equestrian from Tirek.]]]]
* FacePalmOfDoom: Celestia uses an enhanced version of this attack with ThePowerOfTheSun [[spoiler:twice on Chrysalis. It doesn't kill her but it hurts her a lot.]]
* [[spoiler:FakingTheDead: Ace manages to get saved at Marineford but Celestia has to deceive everyone there by making it seem like she killed him with her magic.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: In the past, Celestia was the responsible sibling decided to rule Equestria after Discord's defeat. Meanwhile, Luna was the foolish sibling as she [[spoiler:decided to travel to the Grand Line to be a pirate. Deconstructed as Luna was eventually captured and turned into a slave for the Celestial Dragons, who tortured her. The trauma was enough to turn her into Nightmare Moon shortly after being rescued.]]
* GlamourFailure: Both Celestia and Chrysalis partially revert to their original forms every time their human forms take damage. By the time [[spoiler:Celestia is winning her fight, she is literally beating the human form out of Chrysalis.]]
* TheHeart: Out of the Warlords, Celestia is the ONLY one who disapproves of the execution and the imminent fight with Whitebeard due to the repercussions the war was going to cause as well as the only one who is apalled with the battle, being visually disgusted when her fellow Warlords enjoy it a little too much. She makes it her mission to stop the fight once she [[spoiler: manages to help Luffy save Ace. She nearly threw away her plan to discreetly save Ace and was about to stop the execution herself out of sheer disgust upon finding out that Ace's sin was just being born as Rogers's son.]]
* TheHeavy: Celestia is this to Luffy during the Battle if Marineford, [[spoiler:as she was not only the one who got Luffy in Impel Down in the first place, but it was her victory over Chrysalis that led to the Changeling Queen and Trixie to help Ace escape. She also destroyed a Pacifista with one kick before it had the chance of attacking Luffy. And it was her FakingTheDead of Ace that ultimately made the mission a success.]]
* HeroicSecondWind: Celestia gets one during the Battle of Marineford [[spoiler:after Chrysalis had her Changelings drain her of her love. Once she recovers, she delivers a brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Chrysalis, finally defeating her.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Law is the protagonist of the side story.
** The Set Adrift chapters, which are non-canon stories that detail what would have happened in Equestria if ANY of the other Straw Hat crew members had arrived there instead of Luffy. Out of all of them, Sanji is the one who has his only RecursiveFanfiction.
* IdiotHero: Luffy, as always.
* [[spoiler:InSpiteOfANail]]: [[spoiler: Ace dies in Equestria by the hands (er... hooves) of Doflamingo]]
* KiAttacks: Haki is introduced and properly explained earlier than in the original anime. Celestia and Luna both learned all three forms of Haki during their travels in the Grand Line. The Mane Six also showed potential to learn it [[spoiler: and they get a chance when both princesses decide to give them a TrainingFromHell to prepare them against Tirek.]]
** Celestia's mastery of Haki is shown many times in the story. She has Twilight attack her with magic blasts that she immediately dodged with Observation Haki, used Conqueror Haki to knock out Marines and Pirates alike without hurting them [[spoiler:and it is hinted that she used Armament Haki in order to kick [[IntangibleMan Crocodile]] and knock him out in one blow despite his Devil Fruit powers.]]
** Luna was chose to teach Haki to [[spoiler:the Mane Six sans Twilight. She demonstrated Conqueror Haki when training Fluttershy and it is obvious that her mastery is legitimate given how the girls are progressing with their Haki development.]]
* LetsGetDangerous: Twilight decides to do this when she is [[spoiler:the last one of her friends to remain in the fight with Tirek. She uses the Elements of Harmony and Star Swirl's spell to become an alicorn and engage Tirek in a final fight.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Ace doesn't know that Whitebeard is dead. Similarly, besides Marco, none of the Whitebeard Pirates knows that Ace is alive. Celestia pretty much starts this loop to prevent the world from finding out about her role in saving Ace's life, which will endanger Equestria if the World Government finds out about it.]]
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Celestia and Chrysalis fit this trope during the Battle of Marineford.
** ElementalPunch: Both of them use solar or green fire in some of their physical attacks. [[spoiler:Celestia even incorporates this into an ArmorPiercingSlap to knock out Whitebeard pirates that were strong enough to take on her Conqueror Haki and not faint.]]
** FullContactMagic: Excluding their transformations to their true forms, Celestia and Chrysalis can use magic with hand gestures and physical strikes. Celestia has also used this for MundaneUtility, such as gathering moisture in the air to turn it into drinking water.
** KungFuWizard: Both of them fight with hand to hand combat as much as they use their magic. Celestia justifies this as she found the fighting approach as suitable for distractions while preparing Ace's rescue.
** MagicKnight: They are both skilled with swords, even channeling some spells with their blades.
** PartialTransformation: when fighting hand-to-hand, they transform their limbs back into their original equine shapes to increase striking damage.
** WingedHumanoid: Both of them have the ability to recover their wings in order to fly in human form.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Luffy defeats Discord with one of these, knocking him out long enough for the Mane Six to arrive with the Elements and turn him to stone.]]
** [[spoiler:At the Battle of Marineford, Celestia and Chrysalis exchange this at different points in their fight. By the end of the fight, Celestia delivers a second one powerful enough to defeat Chrysalis.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike Discord, Celestia does not mess around, preferring to go all out and being a CombatPragmatist. Back in Equestria, [[spoiler:when she becomes Blaze, she fares better against Luffy than Discord did, in spite of being weaker than him. It takes the combined efforts of Luffy AND Luna before she gets purified by the Mane Six.]] Similarly, in Marineford, [[spoiler:Celestia went all-out on Chrysalis, engaging her in a brutal fight, even giving her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown when she got distracted in the middle of their fight. When she defeats Crocodile, she does it by taking him by surprise, approaching him without killing intent until she was close enough to take him out.]]
* NonSequiturThud: Happens to Twilight after Luffy shatters her magic shield in chapter 2.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Celestia is capable of creating magic stars of plasma [[spoiler:during her fight with Chrysalis.]]
* PragmaticAdaptation: To make up for Hancock and Amazon Lily's abscence, Celestia was given Hancock's role in the story as a Warlord and as an ally to Luffy in rescuing Ace from his execution. [[spoiler:Hancock's crush on Luffy is given to Luna though.]]
* SequelHook: Luffy reunites with the Straw Hats and promises to meet the Mane Six again [[spoiler:now that they are all pirates that will go on adventures and will very likely meet him very soon. Meanwhile, Doflamingo is in possession of Ace's Flare Flare Fruit and has Sunset Shimmer as a member of his crew, who now has a grudge against the Harmony Pirates. Meanwhile, Chrysalis and Crocodile are still at large and probably carrying a grudge against Celestia for their encounter in Marineford.]]
* SitcomArchnemesis: Celestia is not on good terms with Crocodile, getting angry upon seeing that he escaped Impel Down and was fighting at the Battle of Marineford. [[spoiler:She even goes as far as to attack him by surprise with little to no provocation from his part. Given that Crocodile is now partnered with Chrysalis, it can be assumed that he is probably waiting for a chance to pay her back.]]
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation: Ace survives the incident in Marineford thanks to Chrysalis stopping Akainu from killing him and Celestia FakingTheDead for him. Subverted in that he dies in the next story arc after Tirek's defeat when Doflamingo puts him into a SadisticChoice that involves him sacrificing his life to protect Luffy from him.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Nightmare Moon was this to Luna [[spoiler:just as much as Blaze became this to Celestia due to Luffy's presence hurting Luna due to her trauma with pirates.]]
** [[spoiler: Flutterbat is this to Fluttershy, given Tirek more damage than Celestial and Luna gave him during the fight at Canterlot.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Celestia, Jinbei, and Kuma. Celestia is this in account of being TheHeart of the Warlords, Jinbei is this for sacrificing his title of Warlord to protect Ace, which led to his imprisonment. [[spoiler:Similarly, Kuma sent Luffy to Equestria to make him stronger, even delivering a message to Celestia during their meeting to apologize for sending Luffy there as well as instructions to send him with Rayleigh if she didn't want Luffy in her domain.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: The Mane Six decide to learn Haki from Celestia and Luna. [[spoiler:It shows during the fight with Tirek, particularly with Fluttershy, who displays the most progress. Twilight initially displays the least amount of leveling up...at least until she becomes the last one standing between the Mane Six and a weakened yet still determined Tirek, at which point she uses Star Swirl's spell and the Elements of Harmony to turn into an alicorn.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Luffy still loves meat, even as a pony. Twilight mentioning this in a letter is what alerts Celestia of his true identity, as well as Luna when he meets him, [[spoiler:leading to her having a panic attack upon remembering her time with the humans.]]
* TrainingFromHell: The Mane Six are forced to take this [[spoiler:after Celestia informs them about Tirek's escape.]]
** [[spoiler: Luna takes Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie to an abandoned island filled with dangerous beasts in order to help them develop their Haki. It pays off well once they use it to protect Canterlot from an invasion by Tirek and his monsters. They even managed to do better than Twilight, who spent days training with Celestia.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Discord's first defeat was caused by him underestimating Celestia and Luna when they confronted him with the Elements of Harmony. [[spoiler:It later leads to Luffy defeating him in spite of Discord being much more powerful than him. By the time he wakes up, the Mane Six immediately petrify him.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: Discord is insanely strong, to the point on which Celestia and Luna were never able to beat him together until they obtained the Elements of Harmony. However, [[spoiler:in comparison to them in skill, he is a lousy fighter as Luffy was able to defeat him. The fact that Celestia did better than him in a fight against Luffy AND Luna during her brief time as Blaze and her ability to defeat Luffy's biggest threats in one blow (a Pacifista and Crocodile) shows that if it weren't for Discord's power and the Elements being his only weakness, Celestia would have defeated him on her own very easily.]]
* VampiricDraining: Chrysalis and her Changelings do this for feeding. [[spoiler:Chrysalis uses this in battle to power herself up against Celestia, each time the Warlord is getting the upper hand on her.]]
* [[spoiler: VillainsWantMercy: Chrysalis is quick to beg mercy once Celestia finally defeats her at the Battle of Marineford. She gets spared as long as she takes Luffy's form to distract Garp long enough for Trixie to release him.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Ponies are incapable of taking human form when they leave Equestria. As such, they need to use magic to adopt a human form. Celestia uses her magic to take on a human appearance during her time at Marineford. She can actually undo her transformation when she punches or kicks to increase the damage of her attacks or recover her wings to fly.
** Being a Changeling, Chrysalis not only has this abily by default but she can also use it to take human form.
* WomanInWhite: Celestia when she has human form.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Celestia held back against Chrysalis in her previous fight with her to avoid hurting her subjects. Now in Marineford, Celestia is more than happy to go all out this time.
* [[spoiler: WorfEffect: Celestia and Luna suffer this in order to highlight that even they can be beaten. Luna was somehow captured in spite of her powers as an alicorn and possibly knowing Haki at the time while Celestia is forced to joining the Warlords after an Admiral defeats her in combat.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Luffy had no doubts in nearly getting into a fight with Celestia due to her initial hostility to him, [[spoiler:and he does hit her repeatedly once she turns into Blaze and fights him. He later punches Chrysalis during the Battle of Marineford to protect Celestia from her.]]
** Other cases include [[spoiler:Jinbei knocking out Chrysalis to protect Ace, Crocodile threatening her and cutting her with his hook, Vista slashing (albeit with no damage) Celestia, and Ace trying to fight her in his attempt to leave Equestria.]]
* [[spoiler:YearInsideHourOutside: This is pretty much the basis of Luna's TrainingFromHell for the girls. Since Haki is a spiritual rather than a physical technique, she pretty much has the girl surviving an island full of dangerous creatures for a year in order to develop Haki when in reality they're just sleeping for a few hours. She and Celestia used this method of training to fight Discord, albeit unsuccessfully. Fortunately, it works perfectly for the girls when fending off Tirek's monsters.]]

Meanwhile, Doflamingo is in possession of Ace's Flare Flare Fruit and has Sunset Shimmer as a member of his crew, who now has a grudge against the Harmony Pirates. Meanwhile, Chrysalis and Crocodile are still at large and probably carrying a grudge against Celestia for their encounter in Marineford.]]
* SitcomArchnemesis: Celestia is not on good terms with Crocodile, getting angry upon seeing that he escaped Impel Down and was fighting at the Battle of Marineford. [[spoiler:She even goes as far as to attack him by surprise with little to no provocation from his part. Given that Crocodile is now partnered with Chrysalis, it can be assumed that he is probably waiting for a chance to pay her back.]]
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation: Ace survives the incident in Marineford thanks to Chrysalis stopping Akainu from killing him and Celestia FakingTheDead for him. Subverted in that he dies in the next story arc after Tirek's defeat when Doflamingo puts him into a SadisticChoice that involves him sacrificing his life to protect Luffy from him.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Nightmare Moon was this to Luna [[spoiler:just as much as Blaze became this to Celestia due to Luffy's presence hurting Luna due to her trauma with pirates.]]
** [[spoiler: Flutterbat is this to Fluttershy, given Tirek more damage than Celestial and Luna gave him during the fight at Canterlot.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Celestia, Jinbei, and Kuma. Celestia is this in account of being TheHeart of the Warlords, Jinbei is this for sacrificing his title of Warlord to protect Ace, which led to his imprisonment. [[spoiler:Similarly, Kuma sent Luffy to Equestria to make him stronger, even delivering a message to Celestia during their meeting to apologize for sending Luffy there as well as instructions to send him with Rayleigh if she didn't want Luffy in her domain.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: The Mane Six decide to learn Haki from Celestia and Luna. [[spoiler:It shows during the fight with Tirek, particularly with Fluttershy, who displays the most progress. Twilight initially displays the least amount of leveling up...at least until she becomes the last one standing between the Mane Six and a weakened yet still determined Tirek, at which point she uses Star Swirl's spell and the Elements of Harmony to turn into an alicorn.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Luffy still loves meat, even as a pony. Twilight mentioning this in a letter is what alerts Celestia of his true identity, as well as Luna when he meets him, [[spoiler:leading to her having a panic attack upon remembering her time with the humans.]]
* TrainingFromHell: The Mane Six are forced to take this [[spoiler:after Celestia informs them about Tirek's escape.]]
** [[spoiler: Luna takes Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie to an abandoned island filled with dangerous beasts in order to help them develop their Haki. It pays off well once they use it to protect Canterlot from an invasion by Tirek and his monsters. They even managed to do better than Twilight, who spent days training with Celestia.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Discord's first defeat was caused by him underestimating Celestia and Luna when they confronted him with the Elements of Harmony. [[spoiler:It later leads to Luffy defeating him in spite of Discord being much more powerful than him. By the time he wakes up, the Mane Six immediately petrify him.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: Discord is insanely strong, to the point on which Celestia and Luna were never able to beat him together until they obtained the Elements of Harmony. However, [[spoiler:in comparison to them in skill, he is a lousy fighter as Luffy was able to defeat him. The fact that Celestia did better than him in a fight against Luffy AND Luna during her brief time as Blaze and her ability to defeat Luffy's biggest threats in one blow (a Pacifista and Crocodile) shows that if it weren't for Discord's power and the Elements being his only weakness, Celestia would have defeated him on her own very easily.]]
* VampiricDraining: Chrysalis and her Changelings do this for feeding. [[spoiler:Chrysalis uses this in battle to power herself up against Celestia, each time the Warlord is getting the upper hand on her.]]
* [[spoiler: VillainsWantMercy: Chrysalis is quick to beg mercy once Celestia finally defeats her at the Battle of Marineford. She gets spared as long as she takes Luffy's form to distract Garp long enough for Trixie to release him.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Ponies are incapable of taking human form when they leave Equestria. As such, they need to use magic to adopt a human form. Celestia uses her magic to take on a human appearance during her time at Marineford. She can actually undo her transformation when she punches or kicks to increase the damage of her attacks or recover her wings to fly.
** Being a Changeling, Chrysalis not only has this abily by default but she can also use it to take human form.
* WomanInWhite: Celestia when she has human form.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Celestia held back against Chrysalis in her previous fight with her to avoid hurting her subjects. Now in Marineford, Celestia is more than happy to go all out this time.
* [[spoiler: WorfEffect: Celestia and Luna suffer this in order to highlight that even they can be beaten. Luna was somehow captured in spite of her powers as an alicorn and possibly knowing Haki at the time while Celestia is forced to joining the Warlords after an Admiral defeats her in combat.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Luffy had no doubts in nearly getting into a fight with Celestia due to her initial hostility to him, [[spoiler:and he does hit her repeatedly once she turns into Blaze and fights him. He later punches Chrysalis during the Battle of Marineford to protect Celestia from her.]]
** Other cases include [[spoiler:Jinbei knocking out Chrysalis to protect Ace, Crocodile threatening her and cutting her with his hook, Vista slashing (albeit with no damage) Celestia, and Ace trying to fight her in his attempt to leave Equestria.]]
* [[spoiler:YearInsideHourOutside: This is pretty much the basis of Luna's TrainingFromHell for the girls. Since Haki is a spiritual rather than a physical technique, she pretty much has the girl surviving an island full of dangerous creatures for a year in order to develop Haki when in reality they're just sleeping for a few hours. She and Celestia used this method of training to fight Discord, albeit unsuccessfully. Fortunately, it works perfectly for the girls when fending off Tirek's monsters.]]

A small side story featuring Trafalgar Law named [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/191842/my-little-pirates-doctors-orders My Little Pirates: Doctor's Orders]] focuses on his misadventures in Equestria after the Battle of Marineford.
----
!! Tropes include
* ActionGirl: Celestia, Luna, and the Mane Six.
* AdaptedOut: Boa Hancock or any other characters from Amazon Lily never existed in the universe of this story.
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Ace suffers this due to the damage he suffered against Akainu.]]
** [[spoiler:Celestia loses a hind leg during a fight with Blackbeard.]]
* {{Animorphism}}: Inverted with Celestia and Chrysalis, who are ponies (or a look alike in Chrysalis' case) that can turn into humans. Their fighting style is similar to all Zoan Devil Fruit users as they can use magic to summon their wings to fly or turn back their limbs to their original equine shape for devastating hits.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: There is a two year TimeSkip that correlates with the one that happens in canon, at which point Luffy reunites with the rest of the Straw Hats [[spoiler:while the Mane Six decide to give piracy a try as the Harmony Pirates.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Shining Armor gets one from Cadance for hurting Twilight, pointing out that it's the second time he's hurt her feelings since the Canterlot Wedding.]]
** PlayedForLaughs when Trixie slaps Buggy and Mr. 3 for abandoning her, Mr. 2, and Luffy in Level 5.5, while Mr. 2 delivers spinning kicks to their faces as well.
** During the Battle of Marineford, Celestia uses magically enhanced versions of this in order to knock out the Whitebeard pirates that were strong enough to survive her Conqueror Haki.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Star Swirl's final spell is more awesome in comparison to its canon counterpart, but it has it's disadvantages.
** Star Swirl created it to use the full power of the Elements of Harmony, except that he didn't embody the virtues of any of them so he was stuck with a useless spell.
** Celestia successfully used the spell after Luna's banishment to use the Elements [[spoiler: against Tirek. However, it cut her connection to the Elements forever and she took years to recuperate from the strain of using it.]]
** Twilight uses it again [[spoiler: during the fight with Tirek. It gives her a SuperMode that temporarily makes her an alicorn and allows her to fight on par with a weakened Tirek. Unfortunately, it has a time limit and the canonical FreakyFridayFlip kicks in as Twilight's friends continue to fight on her stead.]]
* BadassPacifist: Unlike her fellow Warlords, Celestia is appalled by the Battle of Marineford, making it her mission to end the battle as soon as she helps Luffy get Ace safe and sound. At one point, she uses Conqueror Haki to knock out Marines and pirates alike as a way to subdue them without hurting them. However, strong willed pirates and dangerous enemies turn her into...
** MartialPacifist: She uses human martial arts augmented with hooves, magic, and Haki to pummel every opponent that she sees into submission should they prove to be a threat to her.
* BalefulPolymorph: Every human character who travels to Equestria will be turned into a pony, unable to recover their original form until they get out of Equestria's borders. Ponies are not affected when they visit the Grand Line though.
** [[spoiler:Trixie suffers from this thanks to Tirek.]]
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Discord tries this with [[spoiler:Luffy. Subverted in that although Discord held his own and caused Luffy to faint by the end of the fight, he was still defeated due to Luffy having more skill and experience with his powers and as a fighter.]]
* [[spoiler:BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: It wasn't envy at her sister that caused Nightmare Moon to exist. It was Luna's trauma and hatred towards humanity that was induced in her due to her torture by the Celestial Dragons that led to her transformation.]]
* BerserkButton: Celestia is NOT fond of pirates. To a minor extent, she is not fond of Crocodile.
* BigSisterInstinct: Celestia had this when Luna disappeared and she traveled to the Grand Line to save her.
* BornWinner: [[spoiler:Out of the Mane Six, it is revealed that [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] has the most talent in Haki. She already has Observation Haki and her Stare is actually Conqueror Haki...and this is before Luna started her TrainingFromHell.]]
* CombatPragmatist: Not only the pirates of the Grand Line are this, but some of the ponies as well when push comes to shove.
** Celestia does not hesitate to approach her enemies silently with stealth or pacific behavior [[spoiler: before shifting her human leg into her pony leg and kick them when they are not expecting it, as Crocodile and a random Whitebeard pirate can assure. She also did not hesitate to give Chrysalis a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown when she was distracted in the middle of their fight.]]
** The Mane Six don't hesitate to [[spoiler:use the Elements of Harmony on Discord and Blaze once they were beaten by Luffy.]]
** As expected from Chrysalis, she won't hesitate to attack [[spoiler:Celestia while she is distracted, use her VampiricDraining in random fighters to power up every time Celestia has her on the ropes, or send her Changeling soldiers to gang up on Celestia.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Celestia has [[spoiler:seastone cuffs to prevent Ace from using his powers, knowing that he is going to try to leave Equestria to reunite with the Whitebeard Pirates.]]
* CurbstompBattle: Discord delivered hundreds of these to Celestia and Luna before they finally returned the favor with the Elements of Harmony.
* DarkActionGirl: Chrysalis
* DeathGlare: Fluttershy's Stare. [[spoiler:It is revealed that she is releasing Conqueror Haki when she uses it, hence why she can intimidate dangerous enemies in spite of her shy nature.]]
* TheDreaded: Discord is this to Celestia, even mentioning that she never hit him in her entire life. [[spoiler:Tirek is much worse after he escapes Tartarus.]]
* DreamWeaver: Luna can still do this as per canon. It becomes a focal point in [[spoiler:the Mane Six (sans Twilight)'s TrainingFromHell since Luna's control allows her to summarize [[YearInsideHourOutside years of training in a few hours of sleep. Thanks to that, the girls learn Haki just in time to defend Equestrian from Tirek.]]]]
* FacePalmOfDoom: Celestia uses an enhanced version of this attack with ThePowerOfTheSun [[spoiler:twice on Chrysalis. It doesn't kill her but it hurts her a lot.]]
* [[spoiler:FakingTheDead: Ace manages to get saved at Marineford but Celestia has to deceive everyone there by making it seem like she killed him with her magic.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: In the past, Celestia was the responsible sibling decided to rule Equestria after Discord's defeat. Meanwhile, Luna was the foolish sibling as she [[spoiler:decided to travel to the Grand Line to be a pirate. Deconstructed as Luna was eventually captured and turned into a slave for the Celestial Dragons, who tortured her. The trauma was enough to turn her into Nightmare Moon shortly after being rescued.]]
* GlamourFailure: Both Celestia and Chrysalis partially revert to their original forms every time their human forms take damage. By the time [[spoiler:Celestia is winning her fight, she is literally beating the human form out of Chrysalis.]]
* TheHeart: Out of the Warlords, Celestia is the ONLY one who disapproves of the execution and the imminent fight with Whitebeard due to the repercussions the war was going to cause as well as the only one who is apalled with the battle, being visually disgusted when her fellow Warlords enjoy it a little too much. She makes it her mission to stop the fight once she [[spoiler: manages to help Luffy save Ace. She nearly threw away her plan to discreetly save Ace and was about to stop the execution herself out of sheer disgust upon finding out that Ace's sin was just being born as Rogers's son.]]
* TheHeavy: Celestia is this to Luffy during the Battle if Marineford, [[spoiler:as she was not only the one who got Luffy in Impel Down in the first place, but it was her victory over Chrysalis that led to the Changeling Queen and Trixie to help Ace escape. She also destroyed a Pacifista with one kick before it had the chance of attacking Luffy. And it was her FakingTheDead of Ace that ultimately made the mission a success.]]
* HeroicSecondWind: Celestia gets one during the Battle of Marineford [[spoiler:after Chrysalis had her Changelings drain her of her love. Once she recovers, she delivers a brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Chrysalis, finally defeating her.]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Law is the protagonist of the side story.
** The Set Adrift chapters, which are non-canon stories that detail what would have happened in Equestria if ANY of the other Straw Hat crew members had arrived there instead of Luffy. Out of all of them, Sanji is the one who has his only RecursiveFanfiction.
* IdiotHero: Luffy, as always.
* [[spoiler:InSpiteOfANail]]: [[spoiler: Ace dies in Equestria by the hands (er... hooves) of Doflamingo]]
* KiAttacks: Haki is introduced and properly explained earlier than in the original anime. Celestia and Luna both learned all three forms of Haki during their travels in the Grand Line. The Mane Six also showed potential to learn it [[spoiler: and they get a chance when both princesses decide to give them a TrainingFromHell to prepare them against Tirek.]]
** Celestia's mastery of Haki is shown many times in the story. She has Twilight attack her with magic blasts that she immediately dodged with Observation Haki, used Conqueror Haki to knock out Marines and Pirates alike without hurting them [[spoiler:and it is hinted that she used Armament Haki in order to kick [[IntangibleMan Crocodile]] and knock him out in one blow despite his Devil Fruit powers.]]
** Luna was chose to teach Haki to [[spoiler:the Mane Six sans Twilight. She demonstrated Conqueror Haki when training Fluttershy and it is obvious that her mastery is legitimate given how the girls are progressing with their Haki development.]]
* LetsGetDangerous: Twilight decides to do this when she is [[spoiler:the last one of her friends to remain in the fight with Tirek. She uses the Elements of Harmony and Star Swirl's spell to become an alicorn and engage Tirek in a final fight.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Ace doesn't know that Whitebeard is dead. Similarly, besides Marco, none of the Whitebeard Pirates knows that Ace is alive. Celestia pretty much starts this loop to prevent the world from finding out about her role in saving Ace's life, which will endanger Equestria if the World Government finds out about it.]]
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Celestia and Chrysalis fit this trope during the Battle of Marineford.
** ElementalPunch: Both of them use solar or green fire in some of their physical attacks. [[spoiler:Celestia even incorporates this into an ArmorPiercingSlap to knock out Whitebeard pirates that were strong enough to take on her Conqueror Haki and not faint.]]
** FullContactMagic: Excluding their transformations to their true forms, Celestia and Chrysalis can use magic with hand gestures and physical strikes. Celestia has also used this for MundaneUtility, such as gathering moisture in the air to turn it into drinking water.
** KungFuWizard: Both of them fight with hand to hand combat as much as they use their magic. Celestia justifies this as she found the fighting approach as suitable for distractions while preparing Ace's rescue.
** MagicKnight: They are both skilled with swords, even channeling some spells with their blades.
** PartialTransformation: when fighting hand-to-hand, they transform their limbs back into their original equine shapes to increase striking damage.
** WingedHumanoid: Both of them have the ability to recover their wings in order to fly in human form.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Luffy defeats Discord with one of these, knocking him out long enough for the Mane Six to arrive with the Elements and turn him to stone.]]
** [[spoiler:At the Battle of Marineford, Celestia and Chrysalis exchange this at different points in their fight. By the end of the fight, Celestia delivers a second one powerful enough to defeat Chrysalis.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike Discord, Celestia does not mess around, preferring to go all out and being a CombatPragmatist. Back in Equestria, [[spoiler:when she becomes Blaze, she fares better against Luffy than Discord did, in spite of being weaker than him. It takes the combined efforts of Luffy AND Luna before she gets purified by the Mane Six.]] Similarly, in Marineford, [[spoiler:Celestia went all-out on Chrysalis, engaging her in a brutal fight, even giving her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown when she got distracted in the middle of their fight. When she defeats Crocodile, she does it by taking him by surprise, approaching him without killing intent until she was close enough to take him out.]]
* NonSequiturThud: Happens to Twilight after Luffy shatters her magic shield in chapter 2.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Celestia is capable of creating magic stars of plasma [[spoiler:during her fight with Chrysalis.]]
* PragmaticAdaptation: To make up for Hancock and Amazon Lily's abscence, Celestia was given Hancock's role in the story as a Warlord and as an ally to Luffy in rescuing Ace from his execution. [[spoiler:Hancock's crush on Luffy is given to Luna though.]]
* SequelHook: Luffy reunites with the Straw Hats and promises to meet the Mane Six again [[spoiler:now that they are all pirates that will go on adventures and will very likely meet him very soon. Meanwhile, Doflamingo is in possession of Ace's Flare Flare Fruit and has Sunset Shimmer as a member of his crew, who now has a grudge against the Harmony Pirates. Meanwhile, Chrysalis and Crocodile are still at large and probably carrying a grudge against Celestia for their encounter in Marineford.]]
* SitcomArchnemesis: Celestia is not on good terms with Crocodile, getting angry upon seeing that he escaped Impel Down and was fighting at the Battle of Marineford. [[spoiler:She even goes as far as to attack him by surprise with little to no provocation from his part. Given that Crocodile is now partnered with Chrysalis, it can be assumed that he is probably waiting for a chance to pay her back.]]
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation: Ace survives the incident in Marineford thanks to Chrysalis stopping Akainu from killing him and Celestia FakingTheDead for him. Subverted in that he dies in the next story arc after Tirek's defeat when Doflamingo puts him into a SadisticChoice that involves him sacrificing his life to protect Luffy from him.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Nightmare Moon was this to Luna [[spoiler:just as much as Blaze became this to Celestia due to Luffy's presence hurting Luna due to her trauma with pirates.]]
** [[spoiler: Flutterbat is this to Fluttershy, given Tirek more damage than Celestial and Luna gave him during the fight at Canterlot.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Celestia, Jinbei, and Kuma. Celestia is this in account of being TheHeart of the Warlords, Jinbei is this for sacrificing his title of Warlord to protect Ace, which led to his imprisonment. [[spoiler:Similarly, Kuma sent Luffy to Equestria to make him stronger, even delivering a message to Celestia during their meeting to apologize for sending Luffy there as well as instructions to send him with Rayleigh if she didn't want Luffy in her domain.]]

* DreamWeaver: Luna can still do this as per canon. It becomes a focal point in [[spoiler:the Mane Six (sans Twilight)'s TrainingFromHell since Luna's control allows her to summarize [[YearInsideHourOutside years of training in a few hours of sleep. Thanks to that, the girls learn Haki just in time to defend Equestrian from Tirek.]]

* [[spoiler:YearInsideHourOutside: This is pretty much the basis of Luna's TrainingFromHell for the girls. Since Haki is a spiritual rather than a physical technique, she pretty much has the girls survive one year surviving an island full of dangerous creatures for a year in order to develop Haki when in reality they're just sleeping for a few hours. She and Celestia used this method of training to fight Discord, albeit unsuccessfully. Fortunately, it works perfectly for the girls when fending off Tirek's monsters.]]
