Hello everyone and welcome to one of the few spinoffs of my World series where my OC will be creating a New Reaper who will go from world to world setting things right, getting allies and loves, and thrashing anyone who dares stand in his way.
This is my first One Piece fic and I hope I can do the item justice. I know I have in progress stories, but this has been stuck in my head for a while and had the most votes on my next non-Naruto poll and the idea kept coming to the forefront of my mind as I was reading some One Piece fics and ideas kept swimming in my head.
This will be an intelligent, powerful, and OP Luffy, the latter happening as the story goes. While he won't be Yonkou level right off the bat; Buggy, Kuro, and Krieg will not be a threat to him and Arlong would entertain him.
Also, this is a HAREM fic! So if that is not your style, then I apologize but I am doing it this way. If there are any specific women that you want, then feel free to let me know but the ones chosen already are: Nami, Nojiko, Robin, Makino (will be explained), and Hancock, but that is not all that can/will be from this world and his crew will be changing as the fic goes on, no one will leave but new members will be joining the Future Pirate King on his adventure.
Timeline for this chapter maybe a little different then the anime/manga, but the rest will be following Luffy's adventures but not having the exact same outcomes.
Lastly, the man giving Luffy his powers is my primary OC that is the star of my World series, he has not been renamed in that series yet but he will be at some point so all of you who hate self inserts, that item will be changing later on.
Anyway, let's get this wild and crazy show on the road.

CHAPTER 1: A Pirating Reaper
Dawn Island: Forests surrounding Foosha Village.
A young boy with a strawhat was in the woods training to become stronger, his name was Luffy and he wanted to become the King of the Pirates. His grandfather Monkey D. Garp, a famous Marine, had left after 'training' him and his two adopted brothers Ace and Sabo for a while. Right now he was training as he knew that his limits had not been met yet and even if they were, he planned to shatter those limits.
A while later, he was on his back tired as he hadn't stopped since he had started early that morning and was wondering how long before he could set out after his hero, the pirate Red Haired Shanks. His brothers had been better fighters than him, but they were also older and he wanted to show them so badly that he wasn't the weak little brother that they had to protect all the time.
His thoughts were then broken by an apple being hung above his face. He reached and started eating it before he looked to see a man in black and crimson clothes/armor standing there with a hood pulled over his face. Luffy cocked his head to the side, "Do you have more apples?"
He asked and the man chuckled lightly before setting a couple on the ground beside him and watched as Luffy began eating them whole. The man chuckled watching the boy go before the boy turned towards him after eating the last apple and still looked hungry. The man smirked before taking a scroll of all things and unrolled it before a bowl of apples, a tray of fish, and a rack of meat appeared. Luffy drooled on the ground as he looked at the food before the man nodded and Luffy attacked the food, while the man merely chuckled, "You are a very strange kid."
He stated and Luffy stopped eating to look at him with a mouth full of food before he gulped it down, "Yeah, well you're weird too."
Luffy stated before he went back to eating the food while the man just smiled, "You have no idea how right you are kid."
The man thought as he felt his predecessor in his right arm twitch violently while telling him to get on with it. The man sighed and shook his head before looking at the sky, "Tell me kid, what would you do with power that no one else could match?"
The man asked and Luffy stopped eating to think for a minute, "I would beat anyone who was mean and protect my family."
He stated with a large grin and the man smirked slightly, "Oh, and what do you classify as mean and how do you define who is your family?"
The man asked and Luffy tilted his head to the side, "Well, mean is anyone that harms someone for no good reason and family is anyone you are close to and care about."
He stated and the man chuckled at the simplified way he described it while Luffy puffed his cheeks out thinking he was being made fun of, "Interesting view. I view mean as the same, but I also add those who think they are doing the right thing but are doing it the wrong way. Family, I count that as anyone you would die for and would gladly give anything to protect."
The man stated and Luffy looked at him as he remembered what Shanks did for him, "Shanks, he thought of me as family?!" Luffy thought as he looked at the man, "I think I get it."
Luffy stated and the man smirked and patted his head, "Not yet you don't, but you will one day."
The man stated with a grin that Luffy mimicked, he didn't know why but he liked this guy. They were broken from their thoughts when they heard duel cries of, "LUFFY."
Luffy jumped up, "Over here Ace, Sabo." He called and the man stood, took his scroll, and began to walk away as the two named Ace and Sabo came over as Luffy looked at the man, "Hey! Where are you going?"
He asked and the man turned and smiled, "Just a walk, I'll see you again Luffy, don't worry."
He stated as he walked farther into the forest while Ace and Sabo looked confusedly, "What's your name?"
Luffy called out and the man smirked, "Damon A. Corvus, Damon is my first name."
The now named Damon stated and Luffy grinned, "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, I go by Luffy. It was nice to meet you."
Luffy called back and the man waved before disappearing, while Ace, a boy a few years older than Luffy with black hair and freckles, looked at his surrogate little brother, "Luffy, who was that guy?"
He asked and Sabo, a boy with blonde hair and a top hat, nodded and Luffy grinned, "A guy that gave me food and told me what he thought family and mean people were."
Luffy stated with a grin while the two just wondered what was their little brother getting into.
A week later
Luffy and Damon had met each day and talked, while Luffy was starting to grow attached to the guy and had even introduced him to Ace and Sabo, who both took a liking to the guy. This trust only increased when he had saved Sabo when the royalty of the island attempted to burn Grey Terminal to make it look better for a visiting world noble. Damon had not only got Sabo out of their but a large portion of people too and they had taken up residence in Foosha Village. The few who didn't either went back to Grey Terminal after the world noble left or joined the 'bandit' group of the Dadan family, who were the unofficial caretakers of Luffy, Sabo, and Ace.
Sabo, Luffy, Ace, and Curly Dadan, the leader of the Dadan family, thanked Damon profusely and he shrugged it off saying that self-entitled windbags had no right to do as they pleased just because their ancestors had done something useful for the world. Though he did mention to Curly that he had a vast vocabulary of words he could have used to describe the world nobles, but none of them were for a child's ears. That comment alone had earned him points with Curly and the two had drinking contests at times with Curly losing, while the three boys took to calling him Niisan.
Here and now though, the three boys and Damon were sitting on a cliff that overlooked the horizon with Damon having his hood down showing battle scars on his face as he had one straight across his face from cheekbone to cheekbone, one straight scar down his right eye from his forehead to his jaw, and a diagonal scar across his left eye that went from the left side of his forehead down and across to his lips just under the middle of his nose. Damon looked at Luffy and knew the kid would be great and had met requirements that he had been searching for, "Luffy."
He stated and said boy turned to his older brother figure, "Would you want the power to protect those that matter to you, even if that same power could scare and harm others if you weren't careful?"
Damon asked and Luffy frowned before looking like he was thinking, "Could I choose whether it scares someone or not?"
Luffy asked as he didn't like scaring nice people, only mean people, and Damon had to chuckle at the naïve boy next to him, "Perhaps, but know this Luffy; The people of your village view you with kindness because they know you and know you would never harm them. But there are others that if they find out that you have a Devil Fruit power, they will be afraid of you and you may not be able to change that. However, I say that you shouldn't worry if people fear you, only worry about how you view yourself and hope those you count as friends and family view you as a good person."
Damon stated and Luffy frowned before he remembered Shanks didn't care what happened to him until it came to his friends, then he turned into a dangerous person that would fight a monster to protect those he cared about. Luffy looked up at Damon with a fire in his eyes, "Yes, I would take it and I would protect everyone."
He declared and Damon chuckled, "Then, would you like me to give you that power?"
He asked and Luffy tilted his head to the side again and Damon chuckled again, "Luffy, I am the most powerful man in the world and I have been looking for someone to pass my powers and knowledge onto that wouldn't abuse it. I can't stay in this world, but I can ensure that someone that can will be able to change things for the better. However, taking the power will hurt and permanently change you and it will never be reversed so you have to think carefully and make sure you understand. So I ask again, would you like me to give you that power?"
He asked and Sabo and Ace were surprised that their little brother could be that strong, they were jealous that he was being picked but they also remembered Luffy would do anything for someone he viewed as a friend or nice person. Heck, he almost died to protect Sabo and Ace's treasure trove from a pirate even after the two of them had threatened to kill him for knowing where it was. With those thoughts in mind, they let it go and were just happy for their little brother.
Luffy thought for a minute before he looked up with a grin and nodded, "I'll take the power Niisan, and I'll show the world my power and protect anyone that becomes family or friends with me as well as those who can't defend themselves."
He stated with a grin and his brothers smirked at him while Damon smiled, "Alright then Luffy, tomorrow you will inherit my powers and abilities."
He stated and Luffy nodded with his trademark grin in place.
The next day: Clearing in the forest
Luffy stood in the middle of the clearing with his shirt off and Damon in front of him while Ace, Sabo, Curly and her family, Mayor Woop Slap, and Makino, who was holding Luffy's hat, stood off to the side. Damon knelt in front of Luffy and palmed the top of his head, "Last chance Luffy, after this there is no going back."
He stated and Luffy grinned and nodded, which made Damon smile, "Alright, know that you may appear older than you actually are after this. My power will be altering your body to a point that it can handle what will happen. You will still grow naturally when you are as old as your body appears, but will be the same mental level you were with the added benefits of my own intelligence. Needless to say, there is going to be quite a bit of discomfort for you ahead, are you ready?"
He informed then asked and the people around were shocked at that information while Luffy nodded. Damon nodded back and took a breath before he gently pushed his hand into Luffy's chest and everyone was shocked as the hand went through Luffy's skin and went inside. Damon closed his eyes in concentration before his body began to glow and then the glow started pouring into Luffy who grit his teeth as the unfamiliar feeling came in and his body started hurting. Then he glowed brightly and everyone covered their eyes.
When they opened their eyes, they were surprised as Luffy now looked like he was 10-12 years old, he had a six pack of abs, his arms were muscular but not bulky, his hair reached his shoulders and seemed wilder, and he had tattoos of a Shark, Eagle, and Bear on his left arm, a raptor on his back, and a grey ring on his right arm at the wrist with what looked like a snout of something in it.
The others were surprised by this, while Makino thought he looked really cute and would be very handsome in the future, with that latter thought making her blush slightly. Luffy shook his head slightly as he gazed up at Damon, who was smiling, "Congrats Luffy, you're a Reaper."
10 years later: Dock of Foosha Village
Luffy stood on the docks thinking about how Shanks had left a little over a decade ago and how Ace had left 3 years ago to the day. He stood with his treasured hat on his head, a crimson wife beater, black padded pants with crimson stripes going down the side of the legs, black boots with metal souls, and a black long jacket that fit his form perfectly with his jolly roger on the back, which was a grinning skull and crossbones with a strawhat on top and the skull had a scar down its right eye and a diagonal scar down the left eye. On his wrists he wore bracers, on his legs he wore greaves, and on his waist was a belt that had an attached piece of leather that covered part of his stomach. He also had a sword handle sticking out of the top of his coat, a pair of pistols attached to his belt, and a long battle knife at the back of his waist.
Luffy had grown, naturally, in the past ten years; he was over 6' 6" and his body was lean and muscular similar to that of a professional runner, his face had become free of baby fat and made him look more mature and he had a small ponytail to the base of his neck from his wild hair. The most notable difference was the scar down his right eye and the scar diagonally across his left, mementos of his older brother/father figure as he had approached Damon about looking cooler and feeling a connection.
{Flashback: 5 years ago}
Luffy was relaxing on the ground as his Niisan had been training him nonstop in his new abilities while helping him to unlock more as his body was able to handle it. He turned his head to look at said man, "Niisan, can I ask you something?"
He asked and the man looked at him and nodded, "Some of the townspeople commented that we seemed like a father and son, could I call you dad?"
He asked and Damon raised an eyebrow before smiling and nodded, "Alright, you can if you want."
He stated and Luffy grinned before sitting up, "Do you think you could give me cool scars like yours? I want something to remember everything you've done and to show we are connected to each other."
He asked and Damon sweatdropped as he wondered why young people always wanted scars, but he also figured a pirate needed some form of scar to show off to enemies. With that thought Damon nodded and placed his hand on Luffy's head before his arm glowed again and Luffy grit his teeth in pain as the two scars formed on his face. Luffy traced his finger over the two scars before he grinned and hugged Damon, "Thanks dad."
He said with the grin still present and Damon chuckled before returning the hug.
{End Flashback}
Luffy broke from his thoughts when he felt arms wrap around him and he smiled as he turned and had Makino in his arms with her having ten pouches on her waist and a bow and crossbow on her back while wearing shorts that reached her mid thighs, a tank top, and heeled shoes with her yellow bandanna in her hair. Luffy smiled at his girlfriend of over a year which she returned as her thoughts of him being cute and him going to be handsome were correct and a certain conversation made her forget her fears about being older than him.
{Flashback: 4 years ago}
Luffy and Damon were sitting the tavern drinking their respective drinks, juice and grog respectfully, while Makino was there tending as she always does though the bar was mostly empty nowadays. Luffy had hit a growth spurt due to some abilities and was already pushing 6' at the age of 13. Damon of course had noticed Luffy would look at Makino every once in a while and blush, which was natural due to his hormones kicking in, before Damon nudged him and he took a breath, "Makino."
He stated and she turned towards him and he was still blushing, "Would you, would you go on a date with me?"
He asked and Makino widened her eyes with a blush while smiling and fidgeting slightly, "Luffy, I think I am too old for you, otherwise I would love to."
She stated with a frown while looking down before Damon's voice broke through the tense air, "Oh, you don't need to worry about that." He stated before taking a drink while both looked at him, "You see, one of the things I gave him keeps him from aging past his full maturity and he can mark either his allies or his loves with that same ability. So it really doesn't matter if you are older than him since you both can live extended lives until Luffy dies in some way."
He stated with a smile and Makino's eyes lit up before she grabbed Luffy's face, while inwardly finding him cute as his face squished slightly, and kissed him full on the lips causing Luffy to widen his eyes before Makino pulled back and smiled, "When you are 16 Luffy, then I will be happy to go on a date with you."
She stated and Luffy grinned and nodded while Damon smirked thinking about how they would react to the difference on how exactly Luffy would mark his loves and his allies. His allies could be marked the same way he gave Luffy the powers he was going to wield, while his loves could be done that way or he could mark them during sex. Damon chuckled lightly deciding he would tell Luffy in a few years that way he would get a few years without blushing and possibly getting a nosebleed every time he saw Makino.
He also idly wondered when they would notice he said loves and not love.
{Flashback end}
Needless to say, the two noticed shortly after and had imitated tomatoes while Daman had subtly pointed out to Makino, as Luffy would not understand, that Luffy was a stamina freak and his new abilities were only going to reinforce that and the fact that Luffy was so caring and friendly meant that there would probably be a few girls/women that would fall for him. Luffy, somewhat getting it, simply stated that he wouldn't do it if Makino said no and that he wouldn't be like nobles that he saw who treated their women as possessions, any women that got his affections would be treated equally as that is what they deserved.
That statement had earned him another kiss from Makino and she told him that she wasn't saying no, but she wasn't saying yes either. Just that she needed time and to see if she would share or not.
Breaking out of their reminiscing, Makino kissed his cheek and smiled, "What are you thinking about Luffy?"
She asked while keeping her smile and Luffy smiled before kissing her nose, which caused her to giggle, "Just thinking about dad."
He stated with a bit of disappointment and Makino nodded sadly as Damon left 6 months ago stating that everything else Luffy had to learn were things he would have to learn by himself, but if Luffy ever called for his help, then he would come in a heartbeat. Makino had felt bad for Luffy, but she also understood since a parental figure couldn't hover over the child forever or the child would never grow to their best potential. She even owed the man as he taught her to shoot a bow very well and she became the most skilled archer on the island, "I'm sure you'll see him soon. He did promise to be here to see you off."
She stated as she rubbed his scar under his left eye and he nodded, "Yeah, you're right. Everything ready?"
He stated and asked with a grin while Makino giggled at her boyfriend's switch like attitudes, "Almost, Sabo is 'repurposing' some valuables from the nobles and will be here shortly."
She stated and Luffy nodded as Sabo had put off leaving early like he planned, so that he could train under Damon in Sai fighting which Damon told him were excellent for an agile, fast, and flexible fighter like him. The Sais were permanently made into his weapon when he ate a devil fruit called the Speed Speed Fruit, which allowed him to burst with incredible speed, but with a time delay between uses depending on the distance and speed used. He became very adept at using quick hit and run tactics which were perfect for Sai combat. It also gave him the expertise of master pickpockets and thieves as he could speed down a busy street and get 20+ wallets without anyone even noticing they had been robbed or that someone had even passed them.
Naturally, he and Luffy stated that they weren't stealing, they were 'repurposing' and had used parts of that to get a small trade ship for them to use for a small amount, and Luffy naturally used some money to buy Makino gifts, which made her less upset and then the memory of the Grey Terminal incident made her completely fine with what they were doing. Especially when Celestial Dragons visited and they repurposed their wallets, jewels, and weapons.
Their musings were interrupted by the timely arrival of Sabo. He still kept his short hair and his top hat, but had upgraded to a full black business suit with rose red accents and dress boots with his Sais being in his jacket. The suit was form fitting, but showed that it could adjust for his movements. The odd thing was that he had bells attached to his hat ring, small wind chime like trinkets as his cufflinks, and spur like items on the heels of his boots. Sabo used these as his training regimen as he could use his Speed Speed Fruit to get by dozens of people and go large distances over different terrains without making any noises from his noise making items. Even now as he walked towards them, he kept his body in such a position that the items couldn't make any noises.
Sabo walked up with a bag and grinned, "One last repurposing mission before we start getting attention."
He stated and Luffy grinned and chuckled while Makino giggled at her friend's attitude before they boarded the ship and loosed the sails while the Dadan Family, Mayor, and the townspeople waved them off while Luffy noticed someone on one of the rooftops waving while he stood next to a flag with Luffy's Jolly Roger on it as Foosha village had officially made itself the first territory of the future Pirate King and Reaper of the High Seas. Luffy grinned and returned the waves while focusing more on the man than anyone else
The man on the rooftop stood and watched as his surrogate son set sail for his dream and destiny, "Good luck Luffy, may God guide you and may you never face the horrors that I have."
The man thought before disappearing in a burst of black fire that didn't even damage the building he was on. However, he missed Luffy punching the stupid creature that took Shanks' arm over a decade ago right out of the water with an aggravated glint to his eyes.
On the boat with Luffy and company: A short while later
Luffy stood against the mast of the ship watching the waves hit the ship as it went while Sabo steered and Makino was hugging Luffy from behind, "So Luffy, where to first?"
Sabo asked and Luffy thought for a second, "I honestly don't know at the moment, but I feel a few potential crew members are in this sea and we shouldn't leave without them."
He stated and his two crewmates nodded as, since Luffy became what Damon called a Reaper, Luffy had had weird feelings every now and again and they were always correct. So, if he said he felt they had crewmates in this ocean and shouldn't leave without them, then they were gonna sail this sea for as long as they had to until they found them, "Alright, any particular direction?"
Sabo asked and Luffy nodded and pointed… straight in the direction of a whirlpool. The two sweatdropped as they should have guessed that would happen. Sabo sighed and steered towards it before speeding down and grabbing three barrels which Luffy tied tightly together and Sabo and Makino both jumped in theirs while Luffy took anything on the boat they didn't want lost before he sealed the other two's barrels before he jumped in his and sealed it tight just as the ship got dragged down beneath the water.
Strangely enough, all three found the noise to be relaxing and dozed off while being sucked down by the whirlpool.
Hours later
Luffy awoke to a rocking sensation as he heard two men talking about how they were lucky to find three barrels of grog tied together just floating in the water. Before a cry of pirates echoed out and the men scrambled away. It was only about 10 minutes later that he heard footsteps again before a voice cut through, "Well Coby, did you go and find us three barrels of grog?"
The voice asked and he felt fear from a person in the room and felt someone approach before he burst out of the barrel and punched a guy into the ceiling. Luffy popped his neck a few times before turning to see two pirates and a pinked haired kid. The two appeared to be angry at him before he broke their swords and they ran off.
He then moved over to the barrels and opened them before waking and helping Makino out while Sabo just stretched. Luffy turned to the boy who cringed slightly before he smiled slightly and stuck his hand out, "Hi, I'm Luffy. Do you know where any food is?"
Luffy asked and Coby gulped before shaking his hand, "I'm Coby and I think I know where the storeroom is."
He stated before leading them to the storeroom and Luffy began pigging out while Makino ate at a moderate pace and Sabo just ate like a gentleman while sipping wine, "So what were you three doing in those barrels?"
Coby asked and they all smiled sheepishly, "Our boat got pulled into a whirlpool so we had to get in the barrels to survive."
Luffy stated and Coby was shocked and was about to speak before Luffy held an apple to him and he took it. Luffy looked at Coby and felt he was a strong person, just needed the right touch to bring it out, "Do you have any dreams Coby?"
Luffy asked and Coby paused in his eating before nodding, "Yeah, I want to become a Marine."
He stated and the three looked at each other before chuckling, which Coby took offense to before Luffy held his hand up, "We aren't laughing at your dream, Coby, we're laughing at the irony as we're pirates but my grandfather is a Vice Admiral."
Luffy stated while still chuckling ignoring the shocked look of Coby, "Why would you want to be a pirate?! They're cruel, evil, nasty, and…"
He was cut off by Luffy poking his forehead, "Just because some are, doesn't mean all are. There are good people and bad people in the world Coby. Unfortunately, there are no jobs or professions in the world that only one type works in. Even my grandfather said there were bad Marines that take justice too far because they believe their rank makes them better than others and that the government needs them too badly to stop them from being corrupt."
Luffy stated with serious eyes and Coby found he couldn't refute it, "I-I suppose that is true, I'm sorry."
He stated and Luffy grinned before messing up his hair, "It's ok, you didn't mean anything by it. You were basing your opinions on your previous interactions with pirates and just grew to believe that since the Marines stop pirates that automatically made them the good guys."
Luffy stated and Coby nodded, "Yeah, I've been a slave in all but name to the pirate Iron Mace Alvida for two years now. I accidently got on her boat while being distracted and she wouldn't let me leave."
Luffy quirked an eyebrow as he had learned all the bounties in the East Blue and the world famous ones and she was one of the lowest there were. He honestly believed that she could be as beautiful as she claimed if she tried and stopped being cruel to people.
However, their thoughts were broken as the ceiling broke and showed said woman over them, "Coby, what are you doing with these outsiders?"
She growled out while Luffy cocked his head to the side, "We were eating, would you like to join us?"
Luffy stated and the crew gaped at him for his bluntness while Alvida blinked at the handsome man before her as he didn't look at her in fear or disgust just… disappointment, "Why would I do that?"
She asked and Luffy blinked, "Because you might be hungry and there is plenty for everyone."
He stated before he grabbed Makino and Coby and jumped onto the deck as Alvida's mace came crashing down where he was while Sabo just used his Speed Speed fruit to get away and up to the deck while still sipping his wine.
Luffy moved ahead and stood still in front Alvida while she shouldered her mace and her crew were waiting for orders. None came before she moved forward and slammed her mace down before she was shocked as Luffy caught it with one hand and held it there, "I apologize, but you aren't strong enough to beat me."
He stated and Coby was shocked before he started to feel hope, "Yeah! You tell that ugly hippo, Luffy." He stated to the shock of the crew and annoyance of Alvida before Luffy stretched his arm and bonked him on the head, much to the shock of everyone not with Luffy, while Coby held his head, "OW, why did you hit me Luffy?"
He asked while everyone else, but Makino and Sabo, were curious as well and Luffy sighed, "You don't insult a woman Coby, no matter their actions or whatever your excuse is, you never insult a woman." He stated to the shock of the previously mentioned people before he turned back to Alvida, "I have little doubt she will be as beautiful as she has everyone say she is, if she would only let her beauty out." He stated with a smile, that made Alvida widen her eyes and blush, before he frowned slightly, "I apologize for what I have to do now."
He stated before ramming his fist into her gut causing her to hunch over in pain and gasp for air before she collapsed forward with Luffy's fist still in her gut. Luffy set her down gently onto the deck before he turned and glared at the pirates who were shaking in fear before he frowned, "Get a boat ready for Coby to take, now."
He ordered and they frantically did as they were told, while he looked at Alvida sadly, "Find me if you find your real beauty Alvida. I'll be waiting." He stated before she blacked out as he and the others got on the small boat and found themselves next to another small boat with an orange haired girl on board tying down loot. Luffy smirked and saluted her before using one of his powers and his right arm had an emerald green glow around it before he pushed his hand forward and made a wind come out of nowhere and fill their sail and push them towards the nearest Marine base while the orange haired girl looked on in shock before she tied down her sack of loot and set off while wondering who the heck those people were.
Luffy let the breeze die down before he sat at the back end of the boat while Sabo used his Speed Speed Fruit to make it so he could row quickly while Coby was still in shock that he was free and Luffy beat Alvida in one punch and Makino was sitting in Luffy's lap cuddled up close to him, "So, I've been thinking."
She said softly so the other two wouldn't hear, as Sabo was hearing the water too much and Coby was still stuck, and then sighed in content as Luffy started stroking her hair, "Really? What about?"
He asked and she smiled softly, "Sharing you." She stated and he paused in stroking her hair for a minute to look at her before she continued, "I decided I'll agree to it so long as you agree to three things." She stated and he nodded before looking at her, "You treat us all equally, you make sure we each get time alone with you, and you have to get approval from anyone that is currently with you before you can be with someone new."
She stated and Luffy looked at her for a second before smiling and kissing her nose, "Those were going to be the rules regardless, but I appreciate the confidence." He stated and she rolled her eyes before kissing his cheek and getting comfortable in his arms while he turned to Coby, "So Coby, what's this Marine base we are heading towards like?"
He asked and Coby broke from his reboot to gape like a fish for a second before his eyes watered, "I'M FREE!" He shouted with a laugh while the three pirates chuckled at him before Luffy's question registered in his mind, "Oh! Uh, it's the one at Shells Town and is led by a Captain 'Axe' Morgan, who supposedly caught Kuro of the thousand plans a few years back."
He stated and Luffy nodded, "Anything else?"
He asked and Coby thought for a second before snapping his fingers, "Oh yeah, the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro is supposed to be imprisoned there!"
Coby stated and all three perked up before Luffy smirked, "Looks like we just found our next crewmate."
Luffy stated and his two crewmates chuckled at him while Coby gaped. Normally Coby would be shouting about how he was an evil man and was locked up for a reason, but Luffy's comments on people of the world made him pause and consider, was he really a bad man or was he just viewed that way because he didn't agree with the government's views? Or perhaps he simply found one of the corrupted Marines and simply didn't get out of it that well?
Coby sighed as there were multiple possibilities for why he could be tied up, but Coby hoped that the Marines weren't as corrupt as they now seemed the possibility of being. He did have some hope as Luffy had mentioned that his grandfather was a Vice Admiral and he didn't say it with any spite or disappointment, so maybe he was a good man and one worthy of serving under.
However, his thoughts were broken when he remembered something, "Hey Luffy, what is your dream?"
He asked and Luffy blinked before grinning widely, "To be the King of the Pirates." He stated with enthusiasm while Coby gawked at him, "I know it seems impossible, but a man has the right to follow his dream no matter the obstacles. After all, what good is having a dream if it is easy to obtain? Isn't that what dreams are supposed to be, something you're strive for no matter what?"
He stated and asked and Coby closed his mouth and remained quiet for a few minutes before nodding and smiled sadly, while feeling his respect for Luffy increase, "Yeah, though I am kinda bummed that we will be enemies in the future."
He stated before being poked in the head again while Luffy grinned, "Nah, we won't be enemies Coby. Enemies dislike each other and want the other dead, we can still be friends, it just gets a little complicated if you ever come after me. Heck, from what I learned my grandpa was friends with Gol D. Roger during his reign and my Grandpa was the one who brought him in."
He stated and Coby was shocked at the declaration while happy that he could still keep his friend before a question popped into his mind, "Who is your grandfather?"
He asked as he wondered why he hadn't maybe heard of him and when he saw Luffy chuckle, he got the feeling Luffy was about to drop a bomb on him, "Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp AKA Garp the Fist."
Luffy stated while Coby gaped wondering how such a respected Marine's grandson could become a pirate but decided to drop it for now as talking with Luffy was starting to give him a headache due to the rampaging thoughts he stirred up, "Anyway, I can't wait to meet Zoro. It should be interesting." Luffy stated with a grin as Makino giggled, Sabo smirked, and Coby just chuckled lightly as Luffy's upbeat attitude was infectious.
Shells Town: Marine Base: Courtyard
A muscular man with lightly tanned skin wearing black boots, black pants, a lime green haramaki at his waist, a white t-shirt with the top three buttons undone, three gold earrings that looked like mini Blackjacks on his left ear, and a black bandana on his head stood tied to a cross appearing dead but if one looked in his eyes they would see the will to live burning brightly, it just needed someone to give it a way out. Luckily for him, the very person he needed was on his way right now to recruit him.
DONE!
Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of my new fic and I hope to hear from all of y'all. Naturally, you'll be seeing more of Luffy, Sabo, and Makino's skills as we move but since Luffy had 0 trouble against Alvida in both the anime and the manga so I figured that my Luffy definitely would win easily.
Couple of items: Anyone in particular that you want to see Luffy paired with?
When should Luffy show his full potential or at least exert himself?
Are there any events that you definitely don't want changed? Besides some minor occurrences in the events of course. An example is the Don Krieg incident, it's still gonna occur… Luffy just isn't gonna get hurt and it won't take as long to deal with.
Is there anyone in particular that should die or survive?
Anyone in particular you want to join the crew? I have 7 picked out already, but you all may want to see someone in particular.
Also, if you have an OC, then go ahead and send me details if you want them on the crew.
Do NOT worry about numbers as Luffy will be modifying the Merry Go/Going Merry (depending on your preference for the name) to be better prepared for some of the hazards of the Grand Line.
Also, you will all have to be patient to find out what a Reaper is, at least my definition, or you can read my World 1 story, however it is in first person and the name of the OC needs to be updated.
Let me hear your thoughts, later everyone.
