In the distant future, mercenary Monkey D. Luffy is given a special package to deliver. But the job becomes a pain in the ass when old friends and rivals show up wanting the package too and fate of the world also becomes part of the job.
Notes before I start: Luffy is MUCH more perverted and kind of a cynical jerk, but when it comes to injustice he is still the Luffy we know and love. He is also quite full of himself but has a right to be and doesn't get too carried away. I know some fans wouldn't like to see a perverted Luffy, but if you've read any of my other work, you know that I can work OOC's really well, or at least that s what some people say, I say I can do a pretty good job.
Chapter ONe: Today is How you Make It
In this future it seems almost Post-Apocalyptic. The world had corrupt it's self almost beyond repair. Australia, South America, and Africa have become nearly uninhabitable, only mutated and tortured souls and wanted criminals dare take refuge in those places. Japan, northern U.S., Quebec, England, and Russia populations have become over 30 million each in a world population of only 200 million. Half of the United States had been sunk from California to partial Texas. However, of course technology has survived, but no longer have people looked for new inventive ways for anything. Diseases seemed to have died when the nukes went off in Kenya, Afghanistan and The Philippines so no one bothered with medicine. However, those areas had become the infestation points of things people claim are "no longer part of this earth". People generally stay with what they have. Food is a plenty as long you can keep it without it being stolen. The people lucky enough to live by today's average standards to not tempt fate and try to discover anything that would advance or 'help' civilization. Most are content with what they have. Due to this, jungles have grown throughout the 'uninhabitable' zones. Cars are run by solar power, but only leaders of gangs and powerful organizations have use of them. The average person couldn't get anyone to help him make one work let alone have one.
It is always natural law that the strong often have the best of life, not by physical strength but by will and brainpower, force is however still needed. In this world, content with its existence and no longer flirting with apocalypse, most would believe this is as good as it needs to be....... almost every one,...... some have ideals that are still VERY dangerous to humanity, regardless if it was in a feeble state or not. To the minds of evil...... it does not matter.

"Has the good doctor in Japan made his way here yet?"
"No sir, he believes it is too dangerous for him and the..... um.... project to come alone. He is planning to come with a Mercenary and then pay him before he reaches our building. He should be here within a day or 2."
"Damn it... That Hirulock. .................. I think he knows."
"..... A-a-Are you sure sir?"
"I'm not a hundred percent yet. Send a team to check on him, make sure he can't tell where the men come from if he somehow figures out they are following him."
"Yes sir."

JaPaN : - HiGhLy PoPuLaTeD GeHtO : -
She walked with such confidence for an extremely attractive and seemingly feeble young woman in the dark parts of the city as she walked into a bar. Short, SHORT and TIGHT blue jean cut skirt, and a just as tight gray button up no sleeve top, however the buttons were undone due to the fact that her UNBELIVABLE bust size was too big for the shirt to contain, you could see well her dark red lace bra. All the ugly, putrid, dirty men in the bar IMEDIATLY set their eyes on her luscious body. "Utterly RAPEABLE!" "God! He must have sent her down the wrong path eh!?" Worse words were uttered in the bar. She shook it all off and went straight to the bar. "Hey," she said sweetly to the bartender. "Um.. could I have a shot of whisky please? I'm oh so thirsty." even her voice sounded sexy and venerable. "Uh.... sure lady." The bartender reluctantly took his eyes off the young woman to get her drink.
"Hey you sexy piece of ass! How much for a quick 20 minutes eh? I'll go as high as 400 to cum in you sexy thing!" The girl tried to not make a degusted face, "Hm, I'm sorry, but I don't sell hun, go back to your drink." The drunk man who seemed to be 'dangerous' did not take kindly to a 'slut' telling him what to do. "Good! I'll just rape you and you won t care because you don't SELL! Ha!" He went to grab her, pin her down, and take her then. She quickly hit the man with a spin kick to the temple,... as she wore pointed heel shoes. Blood came gushing from the drunken bastard.
"Tch. You fuckers make me sick." the girl went back to her whisky that was now in front of her, "Nasty bastards." Now all the men were scared, "Th-That wasn't normal for a REGULAR woman..... She.... She must be a mercenary!"
"Damn! How deceitful! That sexy and having the power to kill you! No man is safe!"
The girl took down another shot. "Shit,... I hope my next job doesn't take me to meet my client in a place like this!"
Across the bar, just out of the Female Mercenary s eye sight, a meeting between a 'fellow' mercenary she knew quite well and HIS client was about to take place. And it could be as important as the fate of the world.
-
"*BUUUUURRP*"
Black jean cut shorts, red sleeveless button up shirt, sandals, and most famous of him, a straw hat. "Damn that's good beer!" World famous mercenary: "StrawHat" Monkey D. Luffy.
Luffy put the large beer mug down and looked around the bar, "Hmmmm, where is this client of mine? I was at a strip club when I got the call to meet here in 20 damn minutes and he's not here! Man I'm so pissed....."
"Ahem, are you Monkey D. Luffy?"
Luffy looked behind him to see an odd looking man in a top hat, black-tailed coat and odd pants. Behind the man was a strange looking creature hiding behind him in fear. "Yeah.... You the guy who called me?"
The strange man sat down and the weird creature sat next to him, trying to cover himself for whatever reason. "Yes, I am Dr. Hirulock. This is........ uh,.. my... son Tony Tony Chopper." The Dr. pointed at the creature, Luffy had a strange feeling that the thing looked awfully close to a reindeer, bud he had a blue nose which was also weird. "Son huh?" he look at Tony, then Hirulock, "Ok, so what am I suppose to do for ya?" Hirulock took a deep breath, "I need you to escort me and my 'son' to England, and we need to be there at least by Thursday." Luffy looked at the man as if he was crazy, "Thursday? You know what today is right old man? It's Tuesday! You expect me to get you guys to England from Japan in TWO DAYS!?? What are you, on crack old man?" Hirulock laughed oddly, "I assure you I have not taken any drugs...... today." then he got very serious, "You must listen my friend. I need this to happen now. It is of the UT-MOST importance I and my son get to the Capital of London, England as soon as possible. I will pay you handsomely I swear!" Luffy took a bite of a piece of meat on his plate laid before him, "Sh. You better old man. I only allow to be paid in 3 ways, Cash, Sex, and Awesome. People seem to be short on awesome these days and there is NO WAY in hell I'd fuck you man,... mostly cause you're dude not a chick........... um... I take that back, that's EXACTLY the reason why." Hirulock laughed nervously, "What humor you have, but please, once we get to England, you will be paid in WHATEVER way you desire."
Luffy's eyes lighted up, "ANY way?" "Yes" A thought bubble appeared in Luffy's subconscious of a long line of sexy women in bikinis, ("Large, luscious women s' boobs!!! That, dare I say, is good payment! Hehahahaha!") Luffy had a childish look as he had his hand over his mouth trying not to giggle pervertedly. He quickly became serious, "Yes I'm sure we can work something out...."
Flash.
A small one, but it was there, and for a Professional Mercenary like Luffy, it was like pointing a giant neon arrow to you saying, "OVER HERE! LOOK, I'M AN ASSHOLE THAT CAN'T HIDE MYSELF WORTH A SHIT." The rather large man truly wasn't hiding himself that well to begin with.
Luffy backed up slightly, not enough for anyone to suspect anything wrong or think something was about to happen, but just enough for him to hole his gun from his pocket to an angle were he could pull it out and shoot efficiently enough if needed. Hirulock noticed Luffy's intense facial expression, "Is something wrong?"
Luffy's head tilted downward so you could barely see his face as he took a quiet, deep sigh, and having what looked like an annoyed smile on his face "Tch. You being followed?" Hirulock raised an eye brow then too notices the many shifting shadows. "I hoped we would have been gone by the time they sent someone after us." his smiled look liked one a man wore when he knew he would die soon, Tony grabbed him tightly, "Father,... are we going to be ok?" Hirulock never took his eyes off Luffy, "That depends, Chopper, in what our StrawHat friend here says."
Luffy's smile got bigger, no long seeming agitated, more excited.
He lifted his head to reveal an eager look upon his face, "If you told me this was going to happen first, I would have excepted,... no questions asked, but now,... heh, I expect to be paid double." Hirulock's smile shifted from knowing he'd die, to knowing he'd live.
Luffy slowly got up and took one more bite of meat, and one more gulp of beer. "Huhhhh Ah," he then pointed to a strange man a few yards away in a panda suit....
"HEY!!!" everyone looked at Luffy then and the 'Panda Man' he was pointing at, "THAT BASTARD STOLE MY GOLD BAR I FOUND." A huge sweat drop appeared over the Pandaman, "W-W-W-What???" every greedy, moralless, evil minded man in that bar turned a dastardly grin and chuckled menacingly. "Hey old man," Luffy looked at Hirulock and Chopper, "Heheheh, I'd get down if I were you, shit's about to hit the fan with a bang."
*BANG!* (See)
Guns blazing and being shot off, men charging and hitting one another as they try to get the Man Panda who allegedly has a gold bar in possession. "I tell you! I have no gold bar!!! AH!! Why does this happen to me!??!"
-
-
The female mercenary s ears twitched as her client continued talking about a job she was no longer interested in, "Wait.... hmmm.... did someone say gold bar?"
-
"AAHHHHHHHH!!!" the rampage of shameless men continued and grew bigger.
"Shit! I think the Strawhat Kid knew we were here!" the seemingly Leader of the undercover followers announced to his fellow men through calm link, "How!?" the second in command questioned.
3rd command: "Maybe it was Jeff's fat ass, he was like so out there and kept staring WAY too hard."
2nd command: "Yeah Jeff, why didn't you just have a big neon arrow pointing at you saying "OVER HERE! LOOK, I'M AN ASSHOLE THAT CAN'T HIDE MYSELF WORTH A SHIT."
Jeff: "Hey you guys shut up! I have a weight disorder and can't hide that well! And I have to have an eye on him don't I!?!"
2nd command: "Weight DISORDER!?!? You're fat, loose the fucking weight."
3rd Command: "As for keeping an EYE on him, since when does staring at a guy like you're trying to set him on fire with your mind JUST keeping an eye on him."
Jeff: "SHUT UP!!!"
Leader: "If you ladies are done bitching about Jeff's Pillsbury-Dough-Boy Disorder and his need for bifocals, let's NOT lose the Merc and the targets. Or I'll see you all get shot in this gun battle!"
All: "YES SIR!!!"
All of 'The Followers' started to shoot into the bar, not caring who they hit, "Don't hit the weird kid and the Dr! Kill everyone else if you have too!" Ok, ALMOST not caring who they hit.
"Come on old man if you want to live! Hahaha!!" Luffy ran for the main bar and Hirulock, with Chopper clinging to his arm tightly in fear, followed right behind him. Luffy jumped into behind the bar for fire cover as did Hirulock and Chopper. Bullets riddled the front of the bar, scaring the female mercenary who was just a few yards from the gunfire's mark.
"Damn it! What the hell!?!" She turned to see inflaming riot taking place, "Damn pigs! What the hell is going on!?" The she saw a Straw hat peer just over the edge of the un bullet covered side of the bar. "Wait a minu-..... YOU SON OF BITCH!!! I'm gonna kill him- HEY! GET YOUR FITHY HANDS OF ME YOU FUCKER!!" As she went to attack the hat and its wearer, a drunken and 'CORAGIOUS' man grabbed the woman tried to tow her out of the bar, "You son of a bitch! Let me go or I'll kill you! Hm........ You know what..... I KILL YOU ANYWAYS!!!"
*TLTLTLTLTLTLTLTLTLTLTLTL!!!!* The guns went off.
*BANG**BANG**BANG* And continued.
"What do we do now Strawhat Mercenary-san?" Hirulock looked with MUCH intrigue at the man his life and his son's were now in the hands of. But,... Luffy just sat there, gun in hand,... just staring at... nothing in particular, just, forward. "WHAT IS HE DOING!?!? WE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED!!" Tony was frantic and babbling in outrageous fear, "Quite, Chopper! I believe he is up to something."
Luffy continued to do absolutely nothing. "Or.... Maybe I'm wrong." Hirulock was very scrupled, "WE'ER ALL GONNA DIEEEE!!!!!!" Chopper's eyes seemed to pop out of his head at this point. Luffy then shot straight up and turned to the men firing.
*BANG*
Luffy shot EXACTLY 5 times, and EXACTLY 5 'Followers' fell. All ailed with a shot to the head. Chopper and Hirulock's jaw dropped much lower than a normal human can. Luffy, as quickly he sprung up, shot back down and looked at the two stupid sacs of 'hold-n-me back' he now had to protect, "Next time I "Zone Out", don't talk. You will live MUCH longer if you shut up and let me do my thing," he smiled nonchalantly, "K? Great! Let's go bitches." With that he got up and ran for the exit door, the still mystified doctor and..... er.... boy following VERY close behind.
As the fighting continued, some of the 'followers' became worried.
3rd Command: "HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!??!"
2nd Command: "Shit yeah dude. That Strawhat dude like, blew 5 of us away without scouting the targets,... who the fuck man!?"
3rd Command: "Witch ones went down?"
2nd Command: "Um... Let's see," he started to point and name off the corpses (How he does it, I don't know.) "Travis, Tom, Gabriel-"
3rd Command: "Heheh,... GAYbriel"
2nd Command: "..... Yeeeah,... Gabriel, Devon and...... oh shit."
New Guy and 3rd Command: "What?"
2nd Command: ".... Bradley..."
3rd Command: "... ah..... God Damn it."
New Guy: "What, who's Bradley?"
3rd Command: "The Srg.'s son."
Leader/Srg: "BRADELY!! NO!!!! DON'T DIE ON ME YA LIL BASTARD!!"
2nd Command: "Sorry sir, I know he meant a lot to you."
3rd Command: "Knew he'd die before 1 month was up, you owe me a dollar."
2nd Command: "Shut up! We'll talk about that later."
Srg: "*Sniff* It's not that...... *sniff*"
2nd Command: "It's alright sir, you can cry for him, we won t judge you."
The Sergeant got straight up, "Hell no! That little shit was a STEP son! He was baggage from a previous marriage! Came into the army just to annoy me! Probably MENT to get killed cause he knows his damn mother of his will sue me for everything I've got and much more! Clever little prick. .....Ugh... I can't take another money drainage from a gold digging ex-wife again."
3rd Command: "Wow, that sucks.......... so Bobby, about that dollar you owe me."

"WE MADE IT!! HEHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Chopper was jumping around and dancing with joy. "Yes... th-that's good.... *cough* *cough*..." Luffy and Chopper looked at the suddenly ill Dr. Hirulock.
Luffy shook his head, "Damn it old man," he walked over and lifted up the coat, "You got shot,... just what I need right now." Hirulock coughed up some blood, Chopper became spastic, "OH MY GOD!! QUICK! SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR!!! Wait..... dad, you are a Dr. ............... OH NO!! THE DOCTOR NEEDS A DOCTOR!!! QUICK!!!!"
Luffy kneeled next to the DIEING man as he had sunk onto his shins, gasping for life, "Please... Please still take him to England, I promise you will still be paid for your work. *cough*"
Luffy got up, knowing there was nothing they could do in time, the wound was to deep and it pierced his lung. "Yeah.... alright Doc." his smile was quite genuine for a mercenary. "Tch. But I expect to be paid TRIPLE now." he was oddly playful with his smile, the near death doctor laughed slightly, "You got a deal Strawhat." "DAD PLEASE!!!!" Chopper was in tears, "Don't die.... I need you....... Gu... guawahaaa haaaaaa!!!!!!!"
Hirulock was now dead and Chopper stayed crying over his corpse. "Let's go." Luffy said quietly, "WHAT!?!" Chopper was angry under the heavy flow of his tears, "YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BURRY HIM!?!? You ARE heartless. YOU MERCINARY BASTARD!!!"
Luffy now became angry, scary angry, "YOU THINK HE WANTS YOU TO WASTE TIME BURRYING HIM!??!?! HE WANTS YOU TO LIVE AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS A DEAD GUY WHO'S DEATH COULD BE IN VAIN IF YOU DON'T START THINKING FOR YOURSELF!!!! Stupid and confusing? Yes! True!? Even more so. ..........." Chopper stopped crying a little to think of these words. "Today is what you make of it as you live it. And right now you're doing a real shitty job because you've got all bleeding heart and no cold or stone mixed with it, that's not going to help you. Let's go. You can mourn for him when we're safe in damn England."
Luffy started to walk away and reluctantly....... Chopper followed.
