Straw Hat luffy

Summary: what if luffy never ate the Gomu Gomu no mi and instead shanks and his crew take him on their ship for 10 years. (Ace is still his older brother and Garp still taught him some things)

Chapter 1: Setting off

A ship approached the shore. It had a black flag with a red haired skull and crossbones design on it marking the ship as one of the red haired pirates' ships. Near the bow stood two men in cloaks both wearing identical straw hats the older and slightly taller one was unmistakably Red Haired shanks one of the four pirate gods the other was one of his favorite crew members Monkey D. Luffy.

Luffy had sailed with the Red Haired pirates for 10 years now but it was finally time to strike out on his own he had prepared a small sail boat for the start of his journey its name was the "Rising sun" it was only a tenth of the size of shank's flag ship but it was big enough for a crew of 2-3 pirates luffy new it was only temporary.

Luffy smiled and looked at Shanks "I'll see you at the one piece" he said jumping onto "the Rising sun" "And thanks for everything. Ja" yelled luffy as he sailed away

"Good by luffy! Yelled shanks waving goodbye 'Next time I see him he could be stronger than me' thought shanks as he saw luffys ship disappear into the distance

"I'm really going to miss that kid" wailed a crying Yassop

"Were going back to the grand line!" yelled shanks there was a roar of approval from his crew.

Luffy sat leaning against the mast of his small boat with his eyes closed sailing along the coast of an island when he heard the sound of flowing water "shit! A whirlpool!" he said to himself

Luffy looked around franticly searching for a way to save his boat seeing none he grabed his trunk and tied it to himself and jumped into the water just as his boat was sucked under by the whirlpool

Luffy floated ashore on his trunk. He set luggage on the ground and opend it to see if his cloths, gun powder and other weapons were dry. Nodding seeing his gear dry he closed the trunk and hoisted it onto his sholder and started walking along the coast hopeing the island wasn't deserted

Luffy walked for hours along the coast when he came across a small grove with a ship in it! He was saved he wouldn't have to float to the next island

It was a small ship from what I could see with hearts on the sails. Luffy didn't know who's ship it was having spent most of his time as an apprentice on the grand line

The ships had a crew of 10 or so from what he could see. Nothing he couldn't take care of and hell maybe they had some tresuare or they could join his crew and if not 'well maybe a few of them have bountys' thought luffy as he reached into his trunk and drew out a small tanto and scabbard, traping it to his back vertically along his spine.

Colby was busy stacking barrels of Sake` that Miss Alvada had taken from a cruse ship that they had recently looted when he saw movement in the bushes

"Hey! Guys I think I saw someone over there" he yelled pointing over at some bushes

"Stop being stupid Colby this island is abandon there's no one hear." Said a crew member

"But-but I saw something" said Colby

"Alright if it will shut you up we'll go check it out" said the same crew member walking into the bushes making the other three pirates and Colby follow him. Into the bushes

Luffy smirked as the pirates walked into the bushes. Luffy leapt down on them from his perch in the tree with his tanto drawn, He sliced the apparent leader from shoulder to hip with one strike taking him out of the fight. Luffy made short work of the other two combatants.

Luffy held his tanto to Colby's throat "not a sound" said luffy "now I'm going to take my sword from your neck and you are going do exactly what I say understood?" seeing the chubby kid nod franticly he sheathed his sword

"Now answer my questions"

"what's your name?" asked luffy

"Colby sir"

"Don't call me sir."

"Whose crew is this?

"Madam alvada the iron bullion"

"What is your dream Colby?" asked a smiling luffy

"To (mumble mumble)"

"What I couldn't hear you."

"To escape madam Alvada and become a marine admiral"

"Good dream kid." Said luffy smirking "I'll even help you on it if you can help me with mine"

"What's your dream…um, um" "luffy" "luffy-san?" asked Colby

"To return to the grand line and beat my former captain to the one piece" answered luffy

"Impossible! The one piece is just a legend it probably doesn't even exist"

"Oh it exist alright I know two people who have seen it. Including my former captain"

"Really that's amazing!" yelled Colby

"So what do you say even though we will be enemy's someday, friends?" asked luffy with an extended hand

"Alright" said Colby shaking his hand

"Now I believe we have a ship to commandeer" said luffy putting on his hat

"Colby! Colby!" said a deep manly voice

"Oh-no she found us!" squeaked Colby

"Ah relax I'll handle it" said luffy standing up and walking towards the voice

"Yo are you Alavda the iron bullion?" asked luffy facing the obese woman

"I am who are you?"

"Oh just a passerby and I was wondering if I could barrow your boat. You see I'm currently stranded on this island."

"Absolutely not, I'm Alavda the most beautiful woman in the sea!" she replied

"You're joking right? I hate to break it to you but your two hundred pounds over weight and your heads shaped like a football."

"What did you say!?!?" yelled Alavda

"I said…"

"aaaarrruuuggg!" roared Alavda swinging her club at luffy

"Pathetic" wisperd luffy as he intercepted her swing barehanded his fingers going in between the spikes on the club. Alavda's eyes widened as he proceeded to crush her club with his bare hand. Luffy delivered a bone crushing punch to Alavda's cheek sending her flying out of sight.

"Colby you can come out now!" yelled luffy into the forest. Colby walked out and followed luffy back to Alavda's ship. After luffy took out the crew they set sail.

"So luffy-san where we are going?" asked Colby

"Rook town, ya said you wanted to be a marine right? There's a marine base there so you can join when we get there." Answered Luffy "besides I hear there is a prisoner there that I'm interested in joining my crew"

"Oh who?"

"His name around here is pirate hunter Zoro"

"That guy, he's a demon that hunts pirates, I would stay away from him" said Colby

"A demon, huh, then I definitely need to meet this guy." Said luffy as he opened "his" ships new sail which he had replaced with a blank white sail so no one would know he was a pirate when they docked at brook town.

"Hey Colby! Do you know where that Alavda lady kept her loot?" asked luffy

"Yes. She kept it down below in the cargo hold."

"I'm going to go take a look at it so can you steer for a while?"

"Sure, but you won't fiend much except cash and that funny fruit down there"

"Funny fruit?"

End chapter 1

This is just an Idea that I recently got when I was trying to get over my writers block from my other story Naruto: the Next god of Shinobi which Dragon6 adopted.

Anyway I'll see if I can update soon
