Artemis growled. Her father just wouldn't accept that she DIDN'T need any help, she did not need a bodyguard or a protector. But of course he wouldn't listen he was an egotistical male and a group of woman, alone in the wild obviously needed a man to protect them. The idea disgusted Artemis she didn't need any pathetic man and she had told him countless times. So what does he do? He ignores her and summons a boy of all things to be her guardian.

The boy looked to be only nineteen years of age and she had to admit he did not look scary or tough at all. He was scrawny with a little muscle, he was wearing a sleeveless red shirt, jean shorts, sandals and an old strawhat. He had a tattoo with 3D crossed out and 2Y beside it. On his chest was a massive burn scar in the shape of an X and Artemis couldn't help wondering how he had gotten it. But the part that made Artemis know the boy was harmless was the large grin on his face as he just sat there doing nothing. "Probably thinks he'll be waited on hand and foot" Artemis thought scornfully.

"Ah Artemis" Zeus called out cheerfully. "I would like to introduce you to Monkey D. Luffy you're new bodyguard."

Instantly the boy jumped up and ran over to her "Hi i'm Monkey D. Luffy would you like to..."

"No" Artemis said coldly glaring at him.

Luffy pouted "didn't even get to ask" he muttered.

"I won't accept a boy as my guardian" Artemis spat. "I don't need a guardian anyway."

"I'm afraid you have no choice" Zeus said looking a little too happy. "The Fates themselves summoned this boy and said he was to be your guardian and as such we have no choice in the matter."

"What's a fate?" Luffy asked tilting his head to the side confused.

Artemis ignored him "and what if he can't be trusted?" she asked her father.

Zeus shrugged "then you kill him. But the Fates appointed him so he should be more than trustworthy."

"Fine" Artemis growled before turning and storming away. "Boy. Follow" she ordered.

"Where are we going?" Luffy asked excitedly. "Is it fun? Will there be meat? What's your name? Where's the meat?..." he kept shooting off questions though every second seemed to be about meat.

"SHUT UP" Artemis yelled punching him only for him to remain unaffected.

"Meany" he said pouting.

'Grrrrrrr" Artemis grabbed Luffy and flashed them to her camp startling the huntresses.

Everyone stared in shock at the boy with Artemis while Luffy looked around before a look of...lust? flashed on his face. "Great a pervert" she growled internally.

"MEAT" Luffy yelled rushing over to the camp fire and picking up the boar roasting over it eating it in one bite.

Everyone stared the same thought was going through all of their heads. "What the fuck?"

"Ahhh that was good" Luffy burped "do you have any more?"

"Kill Him" one of the huntresses, Phoebe, shouted out. Instantly hundreds of arrows was flying towards the boy from all sides. "Well that solves that."

Not even looking concerned Luffy just casually moved to the side, dodging arrow after arrow with very little effort.

"So no more meat?" he asked when the arrows died down.

"YOU IDIOT!" Artemis yelled punching the boy in the head so hard he fell to the ground. "That was meant to feed ALL of us not just you. Stupid man."

"OWWW Nami don't be so me... oh right" Luffy muttered sadly before turning to look at Artemis "Why don't you just get more?" he asked simply.

Artemis and the huntresses growled "what the hell are you doing here man" one of them spat.

"Don't talk to Lady Artemis you filthy man" another shouted.

Artemis could feel a headache coming along and Gods can't even get headaches. "You ate the food you replace it" she ordered. "The forest is full of wild animals go catch something."

"Ok" Luffy said calmly walking towards the forest without a care.

"Lady Artemis why are you letting that man walk away after talking to you like that?" Phoebe asked in shock.

"Because" Artemis sighed "according to my father that boy has been appointed our guardian and I am not allowed to kill him unless he proves untrustworthy."

All of the huntresses shouted out indignantly at that. They didn't need a pathetic man to protect them.

"Relax" Artemis called out. "The Nemean Lion is prowling in the area he just walked. He won't be coming back alive."

The huntresses began to talk and laugh again at the misfortune that was to befall the man while a small group went out hunting in a different area of the forest. A few hours later the group returned and some dear was placed on the fire to cook.

While the deer was cooking a loud roar came from the camp's edge and everyone saw the Nemean Lion stalking forward ready to attack the huntresses.

Before any of them could react a loud voice bellowed out "SIT" instantly the lion sat as if it was afraid. The source of the voice was Luffy and he was carrying several boars in one arm as if it was nothing. Everyone was shocked, not even Hercules had tamed the Nemean lion.

"Sorry I took so long" Luffy said casually dropping the boars near the fire. "It took me awhile to find some boars and then this guy" here he gestured to the lion "decided to attack me."

Everyone gaped. Luffy then grabbed a nearby knife and calmly started to butcher the boars making sure to throw the entrails to the lion. When he was done he set up a few fires and had the boars cooking away.

"How did you tame the Nemean Lion?" Artemis asked eventually.

"What's a Ne-me-an?" Luffy asked confused.

"The Lion" Artemis growled.

"Animals tend to do as I say especially the runts like him" he said casually.

"Runts?" a huntress asked asked shocked. "He's the size of a bus."

"See runt" Luffy remarked.

Everyone sweat dropped not sure how to respond to that.

"Hmmm What should I name him?" Luffy asked out loud.

"You want to name the Nemean Lion?" Artemis asked.

"Well yeah. He's my friend and he needs a name" he said simply. "I got it! Rover his name is Rover" he grinned like an idiot.

"He named the Nemean Lion after a dog?" everyone thought simutaneously. Even the lion sweat dropped at that.

Deciding to not say anything else about the subject as it was giving Artemis a head ache she decided to move on. "Whatever hurry up and eat then it's off to bed for all of you" she ordered. "Boy." at this Luffy looked up. "You are to sleep outside tonight" he shrugged and went back to his cooking.
