Chapter one – I'm Luffy! The Man Who's Gonna Be King Of The Pirates!

'Thud… thud…' a dull thumping noise caught the attention of two sailors aboard a large passenger ship sailing past a giant whirlpool near a small but reasonably, large in height island. One of them is quite large and short with sun tanned skin, while the other is taller and thin as a twig.

The large one rushes off while the other keeps watch. A minute later the he returns with a grappling hook, and for several minutes he fails to catch the barrel… 'Fwish, fwish, fwish… plop.' "Ah, I missed again." His friend wasn't really helping. "Hahahaha strike three pal." The man in the crow's nest was just as helpful as the skinny guy on the deck was, "I would be embarrassed; you suck!"


Finally he was able to hook the barrel and hoisted onto the deck with the help of the skinny man. Grunting the whole way they hefted it aboard. "It's heavier than I thought it'd be, maybe it's filled with beer?"

"Well I think it's our beer now." "Well I'm not sharing my half." The lookout in the crow's nest had nothing to say as he hadn't heard the conversation between the two deckhands; his eyes were wide with fear, unintelligible sounds were coming from his wide open mouth; a cold sweat covering his face.

Out on the sea sailing out from behind the island was a large pink ship, with a swan as the figure head; hearts decorating the sails that unfurled; but what made him terrified was the skull and crossbones flag with a large pink heart in the middle of the skull which faced sideways.

Snapping out of it he leapt into action, his hat falling off in response to his sudden movement, "Ship off the starboard bow," The deckhands' heads snapped up to look at him in shock, "and their flying a pirate flag! We've got a pirate ship in pursuit!" The two deckhands panicked, carelessly dropping their hard won barrel as they took off to tell the Captain, "ENEMY RAID, ENEMY RAID!"


While panic and cannon fire ensued the forgotten barrel rolled down the deck towards an open stairway, bumping down almost every step. Then it proceeded to roll down the hallway and somehow turned, and hit an open door sending it spinning into the room where it came to a stop after crashing into some prepared food and smaller barrels.


After a few minutes a young boy, with an almost grayish complexion an ovalish shaped pudgy head, light pink hair, purple round frame glasses (If your reading this you should know what Coby looks like as I am not finishing his description, and if you don't then watch the first episode already or READ THE MANGA DAMN IT!) poked his head in and called timidly in a small voice, "Uh, hello." He stepped into the room, "I really hope there's no one in here." He gave a sigh, "Ahh that's a relief."

Looking to the side he spotted the barrel, he made his way over to it, "Wow, that's one big barrel. I wonder what's inside it?" Maneuvering behind the barrel he began to roll it to the door, struggling with the weight.

Three of the pirates that were invading the ship stepped through the open doorway (again you should know what they look like. They are minor. That is the only reason I need to give you.), "It's our favorite coward, you trying to hide in here and duck out from all the action again?"

The boy started to get uneasy, and waved his hands in front of himself, "No way! I was just trying to haul this big barrel of beer over to you guys." This successfully caught their attention as they looked at the barrel in interest. "Heheheh, why don't you let us lighten your load."

"I was just startin' to get thirsty." The boy's face took on a look of horror and disbelief. "You can't! Lady Alveda will kill us if she ever found out!" Their eye's turned back to him, all of them wearing matching smirks, "She won't if ya keep your trap shut, right boy?" The boy wasn't about to push it so he backed down, "Yeah right. Heheheh. Okay."

The largest of the men lifted the barrel and righted it. "This suckers heavy." "Hah, perfect." The largest one got ready to break open the top, cracking his knuckles in preparation. "Hold on boys, I'll open it the old fashion way." He pulled back his fist back, aimed and let it fly, when all of a sudden it burst open revealing a thin teenage boy with black hair, a straw hat with a red band around it; he also wore a matching red sleeveless vest, blue shorts and sandals on his feet.

His fists were raised in the air and his eyes which one of them had a small crescent shaped scar underneath were closed in a huge open mouthed grin as he shouted while simultaneously knocking out the guy who was going to break open the barrel, "AHHHHHHHHHH! IIIIIIIIII, SSSSLLLLEEEEPPPPTTTT, SSSSSSOOOOOO, GRRRREEEEAAAATTTT!" He down at the unconscious man, "Who's that?"

Looking to the front he stared at the two remaining pirates who were freaking out a little after that whole fiasco, "Who the hell are you guys?" They seemed to snap out of it. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" He didn't seem interested to answer.

"Your friend'll catch a cold sleeping like that." He climbed out of the barrel as they got angry, "You're the one who knocked him out!" A blade was pulled out and held out in front of him. "Hold up! Are you messing with us when you know good and well that we're vicious pirates?! Huh!" He wasn't even paying attention, having turned to the boy behind him, "I'm starving, you got any food."

This made the pirates angrier, "I'M TALKING TO YOU!" They raised their swords to attack with a cry, they brought them down as the boy covered his eyes; the teenaged one turned slightly his hat covering the tops of his eyes.

A clang sounded and the broken ends of the swords flew up stabbing into the ceiling. The smaller boy slowly uncovered his eyes to see the teen standing their perfectly fine. The two pirates had fallen back onto their rears, severely freaked out while still holding up their broken swords.

"What is wrong with you two?" The smaller boy sat behind him, stunned to see him unharmed, "Who the hell are you?!" "Me? Oh, my names Monkey D. Luffy, hi." He gave a big goofy grin with a chuckle. For some reason they grabbed their buddy while giving a man's equivalent to a scream, (c'mon guy's we all know you have em).

After they left a small groan came from the barrel, and a head of black hair poked out, a quiet voice spoke, "Brother, your loud." The small boy turned to the barrel as another person stood up in it, he saw a petit teenage girl with long thick black hair, draping down her back in waves her eyes were closed as a small hand rubbed at her right eye, she had a heart shaped face a small pert nose and plump pink lips. She was wrapped in a large blanket.

Luffy sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck as he turned to her, "Sorry, did I wake you?" She didn't answer; she just lifted her arms up and said, "Help me out." He chuckled as he lifted her out and placed her on the ground, as he turned she hopped up onto his back, "What're you doing?" She lifted her face up and sniffed at the air her nose twitching, "Still tired," she then lifted her arm and pointed at the double doors at in front of him, "Food." He started towards the door when the boy grabbed his arm trying to drag him back, "Are you two crazy! If they come back with their buddies then they'll kill you on the spot!"

Luffy turned his head with a carefree grin, "We don't care about that." Remembering the girl the smaller and still unnamed boy turned to her and blushed slightly, 'She's cute…' was the thought that floated through his head, he shook it slightly to focus, "Who are you anyway?!" She shifted to get more comfortable on her brothers back before answering, "I'm Monkey D. Kagome, Luffy's sister…. Luffy food."

"Oh yeah." And he started up his trudge to get to the doors again, the smaller boy still struggling to pull him in the opposite direction. Getting there he opened it up and stepped through before slamming the door on the pink haired boy's neck. They went in the direction Kagome was pointing them in as she sniffed around, finally making it to the food storage room. "Hahaaha!" He hopped down to the majority of the food and looked around in a frenzy as he set his sister on the floor, "It's a goldmine! Food, Food, Food, Food, Food!"

"Who knows maybe we'll be safe in here as long as no one else gets hungry." He turned to see Luffy had gotten into a box of apples with Kagome sitting next to him munching on one waking up more with each bite, her eyes opening to reveal orbs that resembled the finest cut and polished sapphires, she then started to subtly chow down on the same amount as Luffy when the boy spoke up, "Uh hey my name's Coby. You're Luffy is that right? That was pretty neat when you jumped out of that barrel back there."

Luffy and Kagome weren't really paying attention as they steadily devoured the apples. "These are awesome." Coby was now behind them, "So are we on a pirate ship or what?" "No, it's a passenger ship that's being raided by pirates, pirates under the command of Lady Alveda." "Who?" Kagome whispered to her brother, he just shrugged, "Ahh, who cares anyway, what I wanta' know is if there are any boats onboard."

"I think there are a few." Kagome smiled brightly, "That's good, we lost ours to some huge whirlpool when it was Luffy's turn to steer." Coby was shocked, that whirlpool out there was absolutely huge, it was amazing that they survived, he told them as much. They both turned to him with matching goofy grins, "Heeheeyeah, I gotta say it was a big surprise."

Kagome then turned to her brother and tapped him on the forehead with her knuckles, grin still in place, "Yeah, considering it was your fault." He snickered, not really bothered by any of it. Coby chuckled weakly, "So are you one of the pirates or one of the passengers?" Luffy questioned.

Coby looked to the floor upset, and proceeded to tell the siblings about the 'fateful day' during which Luffy stopped eating while Kagome took the chance to chomp down a few more apples, while he was distracted. At the end of the story they both looked at him, "Your pretty stupid y'know that?" His head dropped lower, "Gee, thanks for your honesty."

"If you hate it then leave." to Luffy this was the most obvious thing in the world to do, but then again, he fears pretty much nothin'. Coby shook his head side to side, "Are you kidding, I can't do that, no way, nu-uh, not a chance just the thought of Alvida finding me scares me so bad I wanna throw up, then they started laughing, Luffy spoke first, "You're a moron and a coward, hahaha." Kagome finished it off, "We hate people like you. Hahahahaha."

Coby looked to the side crying tears of despair.


"Yeah, you're right, if I had the courage I could drift alone in a barrel and be rid of these pirates, I actually have my own dreams. Someday I would like to live out all of them. So what about you two, what is it that first got you both to set sail on these seas." Kagome let her head fall back as if in thought and spoke as she stared at the ceiling, "I want to see the whole world, and visit places other people haven't for a long time, I wanna see all the good and not so good things it holds, living a life full of exciting adventures, while also helping my brother cause mayhem as he turns the world on its head." she finished off laughing, Luffy right alongside her.

Coby looked confused, "What does she mean?" Luffy turned to him huge grin in place as he answered, "Well I'm gonna be King of the Pirates." The look of shock on Coby's face was priceless. "A King?" he managed to choke out. Luffy and Kagome's smiles didn't fade, "Yep." Coby's look of shock didn't either.

"Are you serious?" this sounded even more forced than before. "Yeah." Still smiling. "But-but that would mean you're a pirate too." "Right, the both of us." Kagome held up two fingers in the universal peace sign. Coby looked back and forth in shock, "Your crew?"

"Don't have one yet, but we're lookin' for em'." Coby's face seemed to have frozen, Luffy waved a hand in front of it and Kagome poked it from the side, 'Is he broken?' He suddenly stood up, "Yaahh, King of the Pirates is the title given to the one who obtains everything this world has to offer. You're talking about seeking the great treasure of wealth, fame and power, the treasure that you seek is the One Piece!"

"Yeah." "Yep." Came their cheerful replies; this however only seemed to make Coby angry as he clenched his fists tighter, "'Yeah', 'Yep', that's it?! Pirates from all over the world are looking for that treasure y'know!"

"Yeah, so?" Coby shook his head back and forth as he spoke in near hysteria, "No way, it's impossible, impossible, impossible, there's no way anyone like you two could ever reach the pinnacle during this great Pirate Age, there's just too many out there that are meaner and badder- umhph." He was cut off by two different fists pounding down onto his head. "Oww, why did you hit me?"

The two stood over him fists still out stretched, Kagome's blanket had fallen away to reveal a well-endowed chest and curves covered by a plain red string strapped tank top, Blue capris and black flat no-heel pumps, her hair was revealed to fall to her mid-back the tips of her thick bangs just falling over her eyebrows; the muscles of her arms and legs were toned, as was her stomach and her skin was just as tanned as her brother's. "Cause we felt like it."

"Oh well I'm use to that stuff, my shipmates smack me around a lot, all the time in fact." Luffy Pulled his hat over his eyes, "It's not about if we can." Kagome crossed her arms under her chest. "We're doing this because we want to."

Coby looked between the two of them, "I decided long ago, I'm gonna be King of the Pirates if I have to die, fighting for that than I die." Kagome chuckled, "and I'm with him every step of the way; have to make sure he doesn't die too soon." Luffy grinned and the two walked toward the door. "Alright now that our bellies are full, we're gonna go get us a brand new boat."

"They might give us one we ask for it nice enough, don't cha' think Luffy." "Yeah you're right maybe their generous people." Meanwhile Coby remained kneeling on the ground, staring at it in thought before speaking, "I guess I never thought of it like that. If I put my mind to it, if I'm prepared to die for it could I do something like that." "Like what?"

"Do you think, do you think I could ever join the marines?" "The Marines?" Luffy questioned. Coby shot off the floor and spoke with conviction, "Yes! Catching bad guys is the only thing I've ever wanted to do, it's been my dream since I was a child, do you think I could do it?!"

Kagome crossed her arms behind her head and turned to him with a smile, "How should we know, you're the only one who can work towards that dream." "Then I'm gonna do it! I'm not gonna be stuck here as a cabin boy for the rest of my life! I'll break out then I'll turn right around and catch Alvida myself!" Suddenly the ceiling started to collapse filling the room with dust.

As the dust slowly settled a large silhouette could be seen and a voice could be heard, "Who is that you plan on catching Coby? And you actually expect this twig and weak little girl, to help you? Well?" Coby was now cowering, terrified of the silhouette. "Answer me!" The dust was now effectively settled to reveal a very fat and ugly woman with holding a giant meatal spiked mace. Suddenly five swords stuck through the door and wall, surrounding the siblings'.

Alveda looked up at the two as they stared back, she smirked, "My guess is that you're not Zoro the pirate hunter, boy." "Zoro?" She turned her attention back to Coby which made him freak out again. "Who is the most beautiful of all in these Seas'." "U-uh, we-well I-I um, give me a sec, I know this."

"Hey Coby, who's the fat lady." All the pirates' jaws dropped while Kagome turned away and snickered. Angry tick marks appeared on her face as she grit her teeth and growled, her hat shadowing her eyes. "YOOOUUU RUUUNNNTT!" She brought her club up and slammed the club down on the empty space where Luffy and Kagome were standing just seconds ago. Landing in front of Coby Luffy grabbed him, "Lets' go."

Alveda looked up to see the Two black haired teens leap up to the deck, Coby clinging to the boys, hand as he's pulled up with him. Landing on the deck the two teens smirked at the pirates standing near them when one of them came at Luffy with his sword, Luffy dodged and slammed his forehead while Kagome watched his back slamming her fist into the face of another. A group of them tried to bring their swords down on them, but they jumped back out of the way.

Another pirate jumped down on them from above, but they moved to the side before the sword could attack them and Luffy grabbed his head, "It's not fair to attack from behind." And slung him into the group of pirates in front of them. Kagome felt a chill go down her spine and turned her head slightly to see the crowd of pissed off pirates behind them, and gave a nervous chuckle as she and Luffy ran down the deck. "This is even more unfair!" "I don't think they care Luffy!"

As he ran past the mast Luffy's hand caught on the mast and started to stretch while Kagome kept pace and stopped while Luffy ran in place, the pirates freaking, frozen with shock. Luffy turned back with a grin, "Gotcha." The pirates abandoned their weapons and tried to flee, "Gum, Gum…" He grabbed onto Kagome, "ROCKET!" Luffy launched them at the fleeing pirates taking them all out at once using their shoulders to ram them while Alveda and Coby looked on in shock.

Kagome stretched out her arms above her head as Coby stepped up, "Luffy… what are you?" "Oh." He hooked a finger to the inside of his cheek and stretched it out, "I'm a rubber man." Coby didn't know what to make of this development, his mouth hanging in disbelief, "So you're… made of rubber? I, oh!" He finally noticed Alveda was right behind him. And hid behind the black haired teens. She took this opportunity to speak. "So, you've eaten of the Devil Fruits." He let go and his cheeks popped back into place. "Yeah, I ate the Gum Gum one."

"Aha, I've heard rumors they existed, but I've never seen any evidence of them before today. You're both more skilled than the average deck swabber, are you bounty hunters?" "We're pirates." "Pirates, HAH! All by yourselves on these waters?" "Today it's just us, but we'll find our crew tomorrow, or next week or something. We need like ten more, yeah ten."

"Hah! Tell me. If we're all pirates and we're not under the same flag, then that would make us enemies am I right." Coby was scared, "Uh Luffy, Kagome let's go." This confused the both of them, "But why?"

Coby's cold sweat intensified; didn't these two have a will to live? "You both saw how powerful her club is, and of all villainous cheats in all these waters, she's easily the most…." His voice trailed off, letting the sentence hang when he saw his words had no effect, the two teens staring at him blankly.

He remembered what the two had told him in the storage room. "Go on, tell me." Alveda demanded. The siblings words from earlier gave him the courage to say this, "You're the most ugliest thing on the sea!"

This shocked the rest of the still conscious crew's jaws dropped in shock and disbelief, the little cowardly cabin boy just stood up to the fat, ugly….. eheh I mean Lady Alveda! Now she was royally pissed. Coby shut his eyes little tears visible in the corners, when Kagome and Luffy burst out laughing "What'd you Say?!" Coby stepped up in front of her, "I'm Leaving and I'm gonna join the Marines, then I'm gonna spend the rest of my life beating up dirty pirates like you!"

"Do you have any clue what you're saying to me right now?" All the while the two continued to laugh. "Of course I do! And I gonna do what I want and no one's gonna stop me! And when I join the Marines, I'm gonna join em' (This is actual dialog, not a mistake on my part.) and I'm gonna catch your lousy ass first!" That might have been the last straw as the volcano known as Mt. Alveda erupted in a fiery fury, "You're dead kid, Dieeeeee!" 'No regrets, no regrets; I did it, I said what I wanted to say and I fought for my dream!'

"Well said." Alveda swung her club down only for it to slam down on Kagome's head instead of Coby's. He had a look of horror, Luffy might have been fine, after all he's made of rubber, but Kagome's a normal person, right?

Her face split in a huge grin, "Nice try." Bringing her arm up she knocked the mace off and out of Alveda's hands, "Hey Luffy, target practice!" she flung her arm out extending her pointer and middle fingers which glowed a light pink, that light grew and took form as a glowing whip which extended and wrapped around Alveda. As she lifted her arm up Luffy stretched his out behind him.

Kagome hefted the humongous woman up and started to spin getting faster and faster as she gained momentum, by now Luffy had fully stretched his arm out, "Gum, Gum….." as she rounded back towards him she flicked her wrist and Alveda was released from the whip racing towards Luffy, "AHHHHHHHH!" "PISTOL!" His fist caught her in the gut and she shot off into the distance, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "And she's outta here!" Kagome cheered. "Now for that boat."

"Right." He looked over to Alveda's ship, "HEY YOU!" "Yeah?" Their faces were covered in a cold sweat. "Go find a boat and give it to Coby, he's leaving your ship to join the Marines, and you're not going to stop him." They wore strained smiles as they agreed.

Kagome's ears gave a slight twitch, "Luffy, do you hear that?" He turned to her his head tilted, "Hmm, nu-uh." Suddenly there was a loud whistling noise as cannonballs hit the water surrounding the two ships throwing those onboard off balance.

"Hey, it's the Marines." Kagome hopped over the railing followed by Luffy and Coby, into the boat they gained. When it splashed down she unfurled the sail and got them off and away without catching the Marines eyes.


They managed to get away from the cannon fire and out on to calm ocean waters. It was quiet for the moment….., "We actually managed to get away." Never mind. "I think they were more interested in capturing the pirate ship and the pirates still on the passenger ship than a small dinghy."

"Haaahhh, what fun." "Yeah, been a couple of days, since we got to fight, hasn't it?" "Mmhmm."

So Luffy, Kagome; if you're searching for the elusive One Piece then you have to be headed for the Grandline right?" "Mmhmm." "Yep." "You know the people I've talked to call that place the pirate graveyard." "Right, and that's why we need an extra strong crew."

Kagome suddenly remembered something, "Oh yeah, you that blob lady mentioned some pirate hunter named Zoro, what do ya know about him Coby."


I think that's a good point to stop, will not include last of chapter.

Again I shall repeat, please review.
