One Piece-Tale of Two Brothers, Luffy&Drago

Prologue…

7 year old Monkey D. Luffy walked drearily through the streets of Fusha Village. Shank's straw hat on his head, the memory of Shank's arm being ripped off by a Sea Beast was in his head and he couldn't help hide the tears in his eyes. Damn it, I shouldn't have been so helpless. Damn Shank's, I could've won.

Luffy nonetheless entered the tavern of Fusha Village where he, Shank's and the rest of Shank's pirate crew use to have fun in. Luffy expected it to be empty since Shank's departure. However, soon as Luffy opened the door's to the tavern, he saw another boy socialising with his green-haired adult friend Makino who was also the bartender.

The boy was the same age as Luffy; seven years old, he wore a yellow shirt and green cotton shorts, blonde, and had a small scar on the back of his head.

"Here you go, hottie," Makino said cheerfully while handing a cup of milk over to the boy. " You know, give yourself a couple of years, and you'll be an attractive young man. Maybe cute enough for someone to fall in love with?"

" Er, thanks for the milk, Ms. Makino," The small boy said; he fiddled in his pockets for beli. " Sorry, how much do I ow—"

"Oh, keep it. Think of it as a welcome present, hon."

" Er, thanks for the glass, Ms. Makino."

" Makino?" Luffy said. Luffy soon walked up to the counter of Makino's store and glanced at the boy, noticed his purple eyes. " Makino, who's he?"

The boy humbly recognised Luffy, bowed his head, and then put his glass on Makino's counter where it was quickly grabbed, wiped by Makino. " You wouldn't happen to be Monkey D. Luffy, would you?"

" Yes, I'm Luffy. Who exactly are you?"

The boy smiled broadly, then held his hand out so he would shake it, said, " My name is Drago M. Claw. I'm your half-brother."

10 years later…

A group of pirates had reached the dock of Fusha Village. Dozens—maybe even hundreds of swashbuckling pirates—all sharing the same goal: pillage.

" YAY!" All the pirates shouted in unison, raised their swords up high. " YAY!"

Each pirate prepared to attack, pillage the town, and rob it of all its riches. However, two teenage boy's appeared, both were seventeen years old, thin, and were blocking the pirate's paths. One of the boy had a strawhat, short black hair, slightly tanned skin, short blue trousers, along with sandals, a sleeveless red vest, also a scar with two stiches under his right eye. The boy beside him was a bit tall, but not lanky as he has some muscle on him. He has brown eyes and long, yellowish blonde hair that's a bit curly and unkempt. One of his eyes (the left eye) looks like it got clawed out. He wears a worn brown leather jacket over a faded black t-shirt, torn up jeans, and dirty brown boots. He had a katana strapped to his left hip.

" These guys aren't very smart, right, Drago!" The strawhat pirate laughed.

" Yeah," The blonde haired boy replied slowly. " They're even dumber than you."

" Ack! Why do you always compare me to everyone?"

"It's because it's fun."

" Hey, you runts get out of the way!" One of the pirates shouted.

" You wanna get cut!?" Another one of the pirates shouted.

" This is why I hate kids!" A pirate in the front shouted.

" AHHHHH!" All pirates shouted in unison, raised their swords up high, ran towards both teens.

" Mind if I take care of these fools, Luffy," Drago said.

" Sure, you can take'em!" Luffy laughed.

" Good. Ryu-Ryu no Mi: Hybrid!"

Drago's body began to change as the dozens; hundreds of pirates came closer to him. He gained a tail and wings along with two horns on his head and green scales covered his arms starting from his hands and ending at his elbows.

" Hiyaa!"

Drago lashed his tail at the dozens; hundreds of pirates and they all fell to the ground. All of them were groaning, their eyes were white, and their eyes closed, unconscious. When they were all down Dragon morphed back into his human form.

" Hehehehe!" Luffy laughed. " You've gotten pretty strong, Drago! Sure, you aren't as strong as me, but you're still one of the strongest guy's I know!"

" I feel so pathetic," Drago retorted. " I know being here is part of your training Luffy, but I really think you've mastered your Devil Fruit enough. I think it's time you and me sailed the world together, and hopefully make you King of the Pirates."

" Okay."

10 minutes later

Luffy and Drago were both on the docks of Fushia Village. Makino and a few of the other villagers were greeting the two brothers as they prepared to sail off in a small rowboat.

" You take care now," Makino said and put her arms on Drago's shoulders. " Drago, you take good care of Luffy. He may be a dimwit, but he's still like a son to me."

" Don't you worry," Drago said. " We may not have the same mother's, but we're still brother's. If he dies…then I'll die with him."

Makino smiled, quickly pecked Drago's forehead, then pulled her head away. "I know you'll do well."

5 minutes later

Luffy and Drago waved their hands good-bye as most of the villager's also waved their hands good-bye. However, their excitement mellowed down and the two went to their routines: Drago stared at the back of the rowboat, and Luffy sat on the front of the rowboat.

" Hey Luffy, what position am I given in your crew?"

Luffy spun around, glanced at Drago, stared into his eyes, said, " Co-Captain."

" Co-Captain? Well…I like it."

The rushing, slushing of water was heard in the ocean. Luffy and Drago spun their heads around to where the noise was coming from. Luffy and Drago soon learned the creature was nothing to be afraid of, a simple long brown Sea King with red eyes as it rushed closer to their boat.

" Mind if I take this one, Drago?"

" Sure. After all, you do have business with it."

" Yay! Gum Gum Pistol!"

Luffy's left arm was pulled back, pushed forward, and stretched nearly 3 feet as he walloped the Sea Beast in its face. However, Drago stared unamused as the Sea Beast sank into the ocean.

" He may be strong, but can he really become King of the Pirates?" Drago smiled, shaked his head. " Luffy, you dork, you continue to surprise me. I know if we work together… we'll do great."

AN: Well, I was wondering whether or not I should use the characters from the original One Piece story or make my own characters. Well, I'll have to speak it up with my generous author. Any suggestions would be good.
