✧Koby Mermaid AU✧

✧Koby Mermaid AU✧

Koby was a merman on Fish-Man Island (possibly one of the princes?) who was kidnapped as a child and was going to be sold as a slave, but an unexpected storm caused the boat he was on to overturn, and Koby managed to escape. He followed a shoal of fish to the calmer sea (East Blue), where he met Luffy (saved him from drowning). Luffy removed his handcuffs and since then, they both have a crush on each other until the time-skip (when they finally start dating). Koby is the 'guy that saves Luffy when he falls into the water' of the crew.

Additionally:

- Sabo grows up with his brothers because Coby was nearby when the accident with the Celestial Dragon happened and saved him.

- Even better if Coby is mute and can only communicate accurately with Luffy (because they invented their own sign language, and no one else understands it).
