New Nakama More Action

Hello everyone! First fan fiction so I'm a little worried but give me your honest opinion to help improve myself for future stories. And I'm sorry to all who liked this story but I accidentally deleted it but it's back with a few improvements.

Disclaimer: This is a One Piece Fan fic. One Piece is owned by Funimation, Toei Animation, Fuji TV, Shueisha, Shonnan Jump Manga, and Eiichiro Oda and I do not own One Piece but I do own my OC and any reference to other shows are not mine. Don't like then don't read it I am not going to force you...or am I ?

Summary: There will be another member among the crew with his own thoughts, feelings and ambitions which he will try to achieve with the crew and this will take place from the beginning of the adventure to its (Hopefully) continuing adventure.

Rating: T for language used at times and the blood/violence.

Before I begin I feel the need to explain my OC so he will be a main character and will have a good amount of attention but I will try to keep the attention on Luffy. This story will basically be a rewrite of the series but with my OC in it.

My OC is called Senichi D. Mark, (a little mix of English and Japanese) and was a part of Shanks pirate crew until he met Luffy and the two developed a sibling relationship. He was 19 years old when he first met Luffy at age 7 and they got very close very quick due to reasons explained later and they will leave with Mark age 29 and Luffy as always 17. His dream was to be the first pirate since Gol D. Roger to set foot on Raftel so when he told Luffy he was ecstatic so the proclaimed that he should join his crew because he would be the king of the pirates. He saw something in Luffy that said he could do it so he decided to join and keep his brother safe. He will strong be in the beginning(around Luffy's strength at 17) and like all other Straw hats he will become stronger over the course of the story but will not be over powered. and I will pair him up with Robin because I feel they complement each other.

So No wa kore ga hajimemashou! (By the way that was let's get this started in Japanese. It will be my thing for all chapters and stories.)

Chapter 1: Romance Dawn

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger had it all. Wealth, Fame and Power, he had all this. His last words were what started the journey for countless souls that wanted his treasure to the seas in hopes of getting it.

"You want my treasure? You can have it. I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it."

These words lured men and women everywhere to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams they would never have had if not for Roger's words. This is the time known forever as the Great Pirate Era!

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We begin in a small harbour village called Foosha Village twenty-two years after Roger's death. About a year ago a pirate ship landed here and as the sky had no clouds and a soft breeze rolled in from the West everything was in a state of complete harmony.

"Oi! Luffy what the hell do you think you are doing with that knife" a random pirate asked a small raven haired boy who was standing on top of a bar stool.

"I've had it with all of you! Now you all will have to take me seriously!" the boy shouted, his name was Monkey D. Luffy. His name was quite fitting as he did act monkey like often as well as bearing a resemblance to one. Luffy was wearing a small white T-shirt with the word 'Anchor' on the front with a pair of blue shorts. He was shakily holding a knife in his hand as he was mentally preparing himself for a very drastic action. "I'll show you how tough I am!"

"Dahaha, go for it kid show me" encouraged Shanks, a pirate with a straw hat, he had no idea what Luffy was planning but thought he could get a laugh out of it.

"Is he going to do something funny again?" questioned a random pirate in the corner.

"Luffy, that is not a good idea," came the voice of an older teen. His name was Senichi D. Mark, he had deep blue eyes with yellow lines pointing out from his eyes and silver hair. He was Luffy's older brother even though they were not blood related they were brothers in every sense and meaning of the word. He watched Luffy with nothing but worry as he held the knife. "Be careful and don't do something stupid."

But Luffy being Luffy didn't listen to him, and to everyone's dismay, he cut himself under his left eye. Shunk!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Luffy screamed.

"I told you that wasn't a good idea Luffy" Mark said as he went over the counter and got the first aid kit.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Later in the pub after Luffy's cut was cleaned and bandaged, Mark and Luffy as well as the pirates celebrated together, "Cheers everyone to Luffy's...Um...err...bravery ...and to our great voyage!"

Everyone was laughing and having fun either drinking or gambling or even both. Luffy sat on a bar stool next to Mark and the pirate with a straw hat talking.

"I didn't feel a thing!" Luffy boasted to everyone who paid him any attention.

"Liar!" the pirate with a straw hat screeched at him, "Don't ever do anything like that again Luffy!" Mark shouted.

"Pain is nothing to me!" said Luffy, "Take me with you and Mark on your next adventure! I want to be a pirate too!"

"Dahahahahaha! You can't be a pirate! Said Shanks. He was wearing a long black coat. With a white button up shirt, grey pants and a red sash on his hip. He had three vertical scars going down his left eye, he also had dark red hair which was shown by his nickname

'Red Haired' Shanks. He was captain of the Red Haired pirates and was Mark's captain. "Luffy, how can you be a pirate if you can't even swim?! That's the reason we call you 'Anchor', a pirates biggest weakness is not being able to swim!"

"Then I won't fall over board, problem solved," Luffy countered, "It doesn't matter if I'm an anchor as long as I'm a strong fighter! Mark has been training me and now my punches are as strong as pistols!"

"A pistol, really?" Shanks questioned not really paying him any attention.

"What kind of tone is that?" Luffy exclaimed.

"Take a deep breath Luffy, calm down and try to enjoy yourself." Mark said trying to stop Luffy from hurting himself.

"Yeah, we pirates always have fun," added Lucky Roux, a fat pirate wearing green and white striped clothes with a pair of goggles on his head. He was eating a large piece of meat as always. "The sea has loads of different islands filled with adventure!"

"And most of all we have complete freedom!" a random pirate chimed in.

"Awesome!" Luffy exclaimed listening to the pirates.

"Stop telling Luffy that you idiots!" Shanks shouted.

"Captain, let's take Luffy with us just once." Lucky Roux suggested.

"Yeah!" Luffy cheered from his stool.

"Alright," Shanks conceded, "but one of you guys will have to stay behind."

"Hahaha, sorry lad, looks like you're staying," the pirates laughed before shouting, "Let's party!"

"I thought you guys had my back and Mark why didn't you help?" Luffy whined.

"After so many tries I eventually gave up trying to persuade him." Mark said calmly from his seat beside Luffy.

"You're still too young to become a pirate," Shanks told Luffy, "Maybe in ten years I'll give you a chance."

"Darn it Shanks!" Luffy shouted, "I'm not a little kid anymore!"

"Don't get upset Luffy," Shanks said, "Here have some juice and calm down."

Luffy took it and drank the glass which caused Shanks to start laughing, "Dahahahahahahaha! Told you!" Shanks laughed, "only little kids drink juice!"

"That was a dirty trick Shanks!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Humph, I'm tired of this!" Luffy complained to himself as he looked over to Mark who was reading a book through the whole exchange.

"What's the matter Luffy?" Mark said finally looking up from his book.

"I've had it with Shanks!" Luffy replied. "He always treats me like I'm a little kid. I stabbed myself today and he still won't take me!"

"You know that wasn't a very good idea to prove yourself." Mark pointed out to him.

"Luffy, you know the captain is only trying to keep you safe," said a pirate with long black hair kept in a ponytail, as he smoked a cigarette. He was Benn Beckman and was Shanks first mate. "Shanks only wants what is best for you."

"How do you figure that?" Luffy asked as he and Mark faced him.

"The safety of the whole crew rest on his shoulders all the time," Benn explained, "being a pirate is hard and leaves you in constant danger, it isn't all fun and games. Do you get it now? He doesn't tease your ambition to become a pirate on purpose."

"That's not true, Shanks just likes to make me look like an idiot!"

"Hey, Anchor!" Shanks shouted from across the bar. "Dahahahahahahaha!"

"See." Luffy whined.

"Captain, you seem happy as always," Makino commented, she was the owner of the bar and entered the room with large barrel of grog. She had dark green hair with a yellow kerchief, an orange blouse with black sleeves and a long light blue skirt.

"Dahahahahaha! I love making fun of this kid!" Shanks laughed as Luffy glared at him while Mark returned to his book.

"Luffy, would you like something to eat?" Makino asked.

"Sure, I'll pay it with my treasure tab!" Luffy assured her as Mark sighed, he always had to pay for Luffy's eating habits which was burning a hole in his money.

"Treasure tab?" Shanks questioned, "Look Luffy, I don't want you taking advantage of this lady!"

"I'm not!" Luffy exclaimed, "I'm going to be a pirate, and then I'll pay her back with my treasure."

"Heh, ha I'll be waiting." Makino agreed.

"For your information Luffy you will have to remember to pay me back as well for all the money I've used to buy you food." Mark added.

"Sure, don't worry about it I'll pay you back" Luffy told him.

Makino shook her head at the boys and went to refill the pirate's drinks with the barrel of grog.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A little later the pirates were still having fun but nearly all of the grog was gone. Shanks sat on a stool at the counter near Mark who was reading his book again with a box in front of him as Luffy sat in-between the two eating a steak.

"Shanks..." Luffy began to say before taking a bite out of the steak.

"Yeah, Luffy?"

"How much longer will you and Mark staying here?" Luffy asked.

"Let me think," Shanks pondered, "We've been here for about a year. After a few more trips I plan to go north."

"A few more huh?" Luffy thought out loud as he finished his steak and glanced towards Mark. "I'll learn to swim by then."

Kreek! The doors of the bar swung open as a large group of people entered. "Make way for the scourge of the mountains!" shouted the man at the head of the group. He wore a big brown coat, long black hair in a bun with a black beard and a sword at his hip.

"So you call yourselves pirates?" the leader questioned as he made his way to the counter. "You lot are the first pirates I've seen and you aren't much"

Everyone watched the man carefully except Luffy who paid him no attention, "Hey Mark what's in that box?"

"Something very valuable so you don't need to know." Mark said to Luffy.

Luffy looked into the box in front of Mark. "You idiot is just a weird fruit," Luffy told him. "I bet it tastes great though, why else would Shanks have it?" Luffy reached into the chest to grab the fruit.

WHAP! Mark slapped the fruit out of his hand and put it back into the chest.

"What was that for?" Luffy yelped as he held his hand.

Mark looked at Luffy directly and said,"No Luffy, you don't want to eat this. I've had one myself and you don't want to try it."

"But Mark, I'm hungry!" Luffy complained.

"Then I'll get you something, but make sure you tell Shanks before you try to eat it." Mark said as he walked to the kitchen.

As this was going on the bandits were still talking to the other pirates, "Were bandits," said Higuma 'the Bear' who was the leader of the bandits, "We don't want to start trouble so give us ten barrels of grog and we'll be on our way."

"Sorry," Makino said, "But we don't have any more liquor.

"Oh?" Higuma questioned, "Then what are these pirates drinking? Water?"

"Its grog," Makino admitted, "But that's the last amount I have stored up.

During this distraction Luffy was able to eat the fruit with no one seeing him. CHOMP! MUNCH! GULP!

"I'm sorry gentlemen," said Shanks,"But it looks like my friends drank this place dry," Shanks then grabbed an unopened bottle of grog. "Why don't you have this one? It's still unopened."

SMASH! Higuma took the bottle and smashed it on Shanks' head, soaking him. Everyone stood up and Mark left the kitchen as Luffy stopped eating the fruit to see what Shanks would do. But he just sat there with grog dripping off his straw hat.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Higuma demanded. "One bottle is not enough!"

"You see this?" said Higuma as he placed a wanted poster on the counter. "I've got an eight million berry bounty on my head. I've killed fifty-nine people before, and most were bastards like you!"

"Just perfect," Shanks complained from the floor, "Now the floor is wet."

"Watch yourself if you like breathing," Higuma threatened, "After all mountain bandits and pirates don't mix well together."

"I'm sorry Makino, give me a rag and I'll clean up this mess." Said Shanks who isn't paying attention to Higuma.

CRASH! SMASH! Higuma knocked plates off a table near him and into Shanks. "So you like cleaning?" Taunted Higuma, "That should be a big enough mess for you." And with that he left shouting, "Goodbye, cowards!"

"Are you alright captain?" Makino asked as she used a rag to dry Shanks, "Are you hurt?"

"No I'm fine," said Shanks. "Phew." Which caused everyone including Mark to laugh.

"Hohoho! He got you good captain." Laughed Lucky Roux.

"Hehehehe, did you see him?" chuckled Mark, "He looked ready to burst like a balloon!"

"Ahahahaha, what a loser!" Yasopp laughed.

"Dahahahaha,!" Laughed Shanks with the rest of his crew.

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?!" Demanded Luffy causing everyone to stop laughing and look at him. "What's so funny? Shanks should have beat that guy up, if you just laugh then your no pirate!"

"Look Luffy, I know how you feel," Shanks began as he put his hat back on, "But that was nothing to get worked up over, it was only some booze. Maybe when you're older your understand."

Luffy still didn't understand but he didn't care so he turned to leave until Shanks grabbed his arm to stop him. "Hey, where are you going?"

"To find a real role modal!" Luffy shouted as he kept walking. But Shanks didn't let go of his arm. Everyone was shocked when Luffy's arm stretched as he walked.

"His arm...It's stretching!" Shanks exclaimed. "Does this mean..."

"Luffy you didn't!" Mark exclaimed realising what happened.

"What's wrong with me?" Luffy said in a frightened tone.

"IT'S GONE!" Lucky Roux yelled. "The Gum Gum Fruit we took from that enemy ship is gone!"

"Luffy, you didn't eat that fruit did you?" Mark asked hoping his assumption was wrong.

"Yes..." Luffy admitted, "I thought it would taste nice but it tasted like old socks."

"That's the Gum Gum Fruit!" Shanks shouted as he shook Luffy, "It's one of the devil fruits, a secretr treasure of the sea! Whoever eats it turns into a rubber man, and you will never be able to swim!"

Shanks then grabbed Luffy's ankles and shook hit saying, "Spit it out!" He shook him a bit longer until Luffy's neck stretched and his head hit the floor. The fruit wasn't going to come out now so Luffy would live as a rubber man for the rest of his life.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A few days later the pirates left and Luffy was in Makino's Bar drinking some juice whilst Makino cleaned some dishes.

"They've been gone awhile now." Luffy said in a depressed tone. He always got this way when Mark left.

"Do you miss them Luffy?" Makino asked.

"No!" Luffy exclaimed, "After the way those mountain bandits humiliated them? Not even a bit! I thought more of Shanks. And Mark just stood there doing nothing."

"Luffy, sometimes it takes more courage to not fight " Makino suggested.

"You don't understand," Luffy insisted, "A real man would have fought back!"

KREK! The doors to the bar swung open as a familiar voice filled the room, "We're back!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A while later Makino came sprinting into the Mayor's house shouting, "Mayor come quick! Something has happened!"

"Makino, what happened?" the Mayor asked.

"Luffy was taken by the bandits!" Makino exclaimed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Near a well the mountain bandits were beating up Luffy, "This kid is fun to beat up" Higuma commented, "no matter how much I hit him he doesn't get hurt."

"DAMN IT! YOU GUYS BETTER SAY YOUR SORRY NOW OR ELSE!" Luffy roared from his place on the ground.

"Hahahaha, if we sell this kid to the circus we could be rich!" Higuma laughed not even taking an interest in what Luffy was saying.

Luffy then got to his feet and charged at Higuma who retaliated by stomping his head into the ground with his boot SQUASH!

"We were just drinking and having a good time," Higuma commented, "did we offend you?"

"YES YOU DID! NOW MOVE YOUR BIG FOOT YOU HAIRY MOUNTAIN THUG!" Luffy shouted from under his boot.

FLASHBACK

"Remember the faces those pirates had the other day," Higuma laughed with his bandit buddies in the bar, "he didn't even move after he got hit. What a coward, he makes me sick."

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Luffy shouted as Makino attempted to stop him from doing something rash, "DON'T MAKE FUN OF SHANKS! HE'S NOT A COWARD SO DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT HIM"

END FLASHBACK

"LET HIM GO!" the Mayor Woop Slap yelled as he and Makino arrived onto the scene where he began to bow to the bandits, "Please, I don't know what Luffy did but I'll happily pay you if you let him go."

"Mayor!" Luffy managed to say from under Higuma's boot.

"As always, it's the elders who know how to deal with a situation," Higuma commented, "But it's too late for you to help, this rubber freak attacked me and mad fun of me! This kid is dead!"

"It's your fault you stinky hairy ape!" Luffy countered.

"That's it!" Higuma roared, "I'm going to kill this kid!"

"I was wondering why the bar was empty on such a fine day." came Shanks voice from behind the Mayor and Makino, "So it was the mountain bandits huh?"

"Captain Shanks!" Makino cheered feeling a sense of relief.

"Luffy, didn't you say your punches were as strong as pistols?" Shanks taunted Luffy.

"Shut your mouth!" Luffy shouted.

"Pirates huh?" Higuma questioned, "Well if you value your life you'll leave, wouldn't want something bad to happen."

"You take another step and I'll blow you head off." A bandit said as he aimed his gun at Shanks head.

"Now that you've drawn your pistol can you use it?" Shanks said calmly, "Guns aren't for threats their for action."

KA-BOOM! Lucky Roux suddenly shot the bandit in the head whilst eating a piece of meat.

"You bastards!" a random bandit commented, "That was dirty!"

"Dirty?" came the voice of Benn Beckman, "You're dealing with pirates not saints."

"Shut up!" a random bandit said, "We only want the boy!"

"Listen up!" Shanks began, "Whether I'm sprayed with alcohol or doused with food, hell even if I'm spit on I'll just laugh it off. BUT IF YOU HARM A FRIEND OF MINE YOU'LL PAY FOR IT REGARDLESS THE REASON!"

"Hahahahaha, so we're going to pay?" Higuma laughed, "LOUSY PIRATES! KILL THEM ALL MEN!"

"I'll take care of this if you don't mind Shanks." Mark said standing in front of him as the bandits charged at him.

Mark lifted up his right arm as violet waves began to surge around it, then Mark slammed his fist into the ground shouting, "Mystic Pulse!"SMASH!

The attack sent a violet wave through the ground hitting all of the bandits, knocking them out cold.

"If you wanted to fight us a warship would have done you much better" Benn said from behind Mark.

"Wow!" Luffy said as Higuma removed his boot from Luffy's face as be began to take a step back.

"Wait a minute, it was the kid who attacked us" Higuma said in a scared tone.

"It doesn't matter," Shanks said, "you're a wanted man."

FWOOOOSH! Higuma thrown a smoke bomb on the ground to escape, "SMOKESCREEN" Shanks shouted.

As the smoke cleared Higuma was gone and so was Luffy, "Luffy!" Both Shanks and Mark exclaimed.

"Oh no! We let him get away with Luffy! What are we going to do?!" Shanks shouted.

"Calm down captain we'll find him in no time." Lucky Roux said trying to calm him down.

"What a guy..." Benn said as he watched Shanks worry.

'If I was a mountain bandit where would I run to?' Mark thought, "OF COURSE"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hehehehe, looks like I made a clean escape," Higuma chuckled, "No one would expect a mountain bandit to escape out to the sea."

"Let go of me you dumb as idiot!" Luffy shouted Higuma merely laughed and threw Luffy into the water.

"Damn it!" Luffy said as he flailed in the water while Higuma laughed at him.

Suddenly a figure rose from the water behind Higuma with blood red eyes and long sharp teeth, "Wh-what is that thing?!" Higuma screeched.

CHOMP! The sea monster lunged at Higuma and swallowed him and his boat whole and turned to face Luffy as it noticed his thrashing.

The sea monster then leaped forward to eat Luffy, CHOMP!

But before Luffy could get eaten he was shoved out of the way by someone. When Luffy looked to see who it was he shouted, "SHANKS!"

"Get lost" Shanks said without his straw hat but held a glare that sent the sea monster who was fifty times his size swimming away.

"Thanks Luffy," Shanks said, "Makino told me everything, how you stood up for us." But Luffy was too busy sobbing into Shanks shirt.

"You can't cry now Luffy," Shanks said, "you're a man now."

"But...Shanks.." Luffy sobbed, "YOUR ARM! YOUR ARRRRRMMMM!"

"It's okay Luffy it's just an arm I've got another one, I'm just glad your okay." Shanks said.

Luffy then realized how great of a man Shanks was and vowed to be just like him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So you guys are leaving?" Luffy asked Shanks and Mark as they stood on the pier getting ready to leave for good.

"Yeah," Shanks said, "We've had a nice extended vacation but it's time to go. Will you miss us?"

"Yeah, but this time is different because I'm going to become a pirate myself." Luffy said.

"I wouldn't take you with me anyway" Shanks taunted.

"I will become a pirate!" Luffy shouted, "I will gather a crew way better than yours and I'm going to find the greatest treasure in the world...THEN I'M GOING TO BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES!"

"Oh, your going to surpass us?" Shanks said, "Well then I'll leave this hat to you." he said taking his straw hat and putting it on Luffy's head, "This hat means more to me than anything so you better take care of it and return it to me as a great pirate."

Luffy then begun to cry until Mark spoke up, " Well looks like this is where we part Shanks."

"Huh?" was Luffy's response, "What are you talking about Mark?"

"Luffy remember when you asked me to join your crew?" Mark asked.

FLASHBACK

"Hey Mark?" Luffy said as they sat in Makino's bar a few years back.

"What is it Luffy?" Mark asked looking up from his book.

"Join my crew!" Luffy shouted, "Come on Mark we're already brothers so why not?"

"Heh-heh, Luffy I will only join your crew when you show me you can be a good captain." Mark said staring directly at Luffy.

END FLASHBACK

"You will?" Luffy asked feeling estatic at this news.

"Yes." was all Mark said before he was globbed by Luffy crying tears of joy.

"So this is where we part Mark," Shanks said shaking his head at the brotherly hug.

"Yeah, looks like it" Mark said finally getting Luffy to calm down.

"Well then there is something I want you to have." Shanks said before taking out a large claymore. The blade is a long, very wide, double-edged form of a longsword. The crossguard consists of a small red gem at the center and two straight ornate arms. The handle is almost the same length as the blade. "I think it's called the Shusenronsha (Warmonger) and it is a very strong blade so I want you to have it."

"Really?" Mark asked disbelieving what he was doing.

"Yeah, I know how you broke your old sword on our last adventure so I thought you'd like this one." Shanks then said.

"Wow, thanks Shanks." Mark said, "I will take good care of it don't worry."

"Good, well then we'll be going now." and with that they all boarded their ship and left but Luffy and Mark's journey was going to begin ten years later.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ten years later at ages 17 and 29, Luffy and Mark set off for their journey in a small row boat. Luffy was wearing a red vest, a pair of blue shorts that end just before his knees, sandals and Shanks' straw hat on his head. Mark was wearing a white tunic with blue jeans, black boots, a closed black vest with a brown strap going diagonally across his chest. He wore black fingerless gloves with a metal plate on the back and on his back was Shusenronsha inside a black sheathe. The journey of 'Straw Hat' Luffy and 'Mystic Lord' Mark was about to begin.

"Their finally heading out," Makino said as she, the Mayor and a few villagers came to see them off, "I'm going to miss them."

"Their going to ruin the reputation of the town!"complained the Mayor.

On the harbor on a small boat a happy 17 year old Luffy and a 29 year old Mark ready to begin their journey. "Wow, the weather is great today!" Luffy commented as he looked at the plain sky.

"Yeah, It's perfect weather to start our journey." Mark said.

Then something rose from the water which was shown to be the sea monster from ten years ago.

"I've been waiting for you sea monster!" Luffy said with a smile, " I'm going to show you what I've learned over these years."

The sea monster lunged at The boat intent to eat the boat, Luffy and Mark whole. But Luffy simply stood up and brought his arm back, "GUM...GUM...PISTOL" Luffy shouted, POW! Luffy's rubber arm shot out as fast as a pistol smashing into the side of the monster's face knocking him out. SPLASH! The eel like monster fell into the water. "Like that you stupid fish!"

"Good hit Luffy. All that training is paying off." Mark commented before returning to the bokk he keeps in his pocket.

"Thanks. Now first things first, we'll need a crew, I'm thinking about ten will be enough." Luffy said thinking out loud, "Then we'll need a pirate flag. LOOK OUT WORLD BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES!"

"That's right Luffy cause we're going to find Raftel." Mark added.

The ship then sails on into the horizon and even though the journey has just begun there will be many adventure ahead.

That's the first chapter. And it took me ages to write this in such detail but I will try to keep the updates to once a week so for now Peace!
