Odyssey of the Will of 'D'
Chapter 1
A God's Whim
"So spacious!" Luffy shouted in wonder as he beheld the interior of the cave he had taken refuge in. A few hours ago after leaving Dadan and the other mountain bandits in search of his brother Ace, the young six year old had lost his way in mountains when suddenly it began to pour heavily. Not willing to further lose himself in the heavy rain Luffy found refuge in one of the many natural caves of the mountains. Seeing as the rain was not going to let up soon, Luffy had decided instead to explore the cave, his young mind equating it to an adventure.
He now found himself deep into the cave gazing in wonder at the beautiful natural formations of stalagmites, stalactites and columns that jutted out from the floor and roof of the cave. Despite being so far into the cave, there were many skylights that allowed what little light there was to bleed into the cave. The rain as well was an unwelcome guest that followed the weak light, though they were deposited into the pools of waiting water beneath those skylights. What was ever more beautiful was that there was signs of plant life, as many different types of flowers bloomed near the pools.
All in all, this was probably the most awe inspiring place Luffy had seen yet in his young life.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Luffy shouted in fright, jumping up nearly half a meter in the air. The voice freaked Luffy out horribly on account of two things.
One: the young child had no idea someone else was in the cave with him.
Two: it sounded like two different voices speaking at the same time.
"W-Who's there?" Luffy asked slowly, never before feeling frightened as he was now. He had not noticed it before, but there was this ominous feeling in the air that seemed to choke him the moment the owner of that weird voice spoke up. "I'm warning you!" he shouted in faux bravery. "I have a punch that's as strong as a pistol!" Time seemed to pass as the heavy feeling in the air became even more unbearable to the point Luffy felt he was going to suffocate.
"Bwahahahaha!" the mismatched voice suddenly guffawed, the air losing its foreboding nature immediately after that allowing Luffy to breathe properly. "As strong as a pistol! Ahah! You're a riot kid!" Suddenly a fire appeared in the darkened edge of the cave revealing a small tent, three small crates, two large barrels and a cloaked figure that was shaking due to laughter. "I like you kid, grab a seat!" When Luffy owlishly blinked at the figure, the cloaked person also owlishly blinked back, though Luffy did not see this.
"I was just about to eat-"
"Do you have meat?!" Luffy shouted excitedly as he somehow teleported to one of the small crates, staring in anticipation at the figure.
"Do I?" the figure guffawed. "Meat's the best!" The person then grabbed hold of one of the large barrels and pulled it close. A gloved hand then appeared and popped the lead off before pulling out a massive hunk of meat on a metal spit soaked in honey. "Wait a little while this cooks okay kid?"
"Okay!" the young body acquiesced immediately, staring at the hunk of meat as it slowly rotated on a spit over the fire. "Mine name's Monkey D Luffy by the way! Future Pirate King!" the Straw HatTM wearing boy introduced himself with exuberance, sticking out his hand to as gesture of greeting
"My name is Ivbleyuv, Luffy!" the figure replied, its voice finally settling on that of a males. "One of the Thirteen Guardians of Arcadia!"
"Guardian?" Luffy asked with a tilt of his head. "What's that? Is it something you can eat?"
"Eat?" The Guardian now adopted a thinking pose. "Well I mean all living things are edible so technically? But I mean you wouldn't eat yourself would you?" Luffy shook his head in response. "You're still meat though, so is every other person."
"I'm made of meat?!" Luffy shouted as he looked down at himself in shock.
"Well yeah. Didn't you know that?"
"NO!" the young boy shouted as tears fell down his face and a snot dribble appeared. He was then slapped back in forth to snap him out of it. "OW! What was that for?!"
"Feel better?"
"Kinda," Luffy muttered with puffed out cheeks.
"Anyway," Ivbleyuv waved off as he reached up and removed the hood of his cloak, revealing a rather young looking face with a cross shaped scar over his left eye and crescent moon shaped scar on right have of his lips. "A Guardian is technically what you would call a god."
"You're a god!" Luffy shouted with stars in his eyes. "That is so cool! Can you show me some cool tricks."
"I usually get babbling morons groveling at my feet for their impetuousness or impassive people not caring that they're talking to a person that can reduce them to ashes with a stray thought," Ivbleyuv told Luffy with a smirk as he gazed at the young boy with his right brown eye. "It's nice having youthful innocence to talk to, even though that phrase makes me want to wash my mouth with soup." A soap bar then materialized from thin air and was roughly shoved in his mouth back and forth.
"That is so cool!" Luffy shouted, clapping his hands in excitement. Ivbleyuv spat the offending soap bar out which suddenly transformed into a mikan. "Do more!" Luffy demanded, loving the neat tricks this god was showing him.
Ivbleyuv hummed a merry tune, the notes actually appearing in air before applying themselves to a sheet of music paper, while peeling the mikan revealing a skinless apple on the inside. The uninterrupted peeled skin turned into a snake that hissed viciously before the apple was promptly shoved into it face, knocking the snake out, swirls appearing over its eyes and tiny apples dancing around its head.
"You're so cool!" the future Pirate King exclaimed with stars in his eyes once more.
"I am aren't I?" the god boasted as his nose appeared to lengthen before the boys very eyes. He smirked at the boy before turning to tend to the meat on the spit. "So tell me about yourself Luffy. Why do you want to be the Pirate King, let alone a pirate?" he asked over his shoulder.
"Because the man I idolize was a pirate and he was awesome and taught me so much!" the Straw HatTM touting young boy told him with a grin. "And I promised him that I would become an even better pirate than him, that I would find One Piece and become Pirate King!"
"Well I'd say you're on the right track. You have the middle initial D and Roger's old hat," the god pointed out as he wiped his sweaty forehead and slicked his short black hair along with it.
Luffy immediately pulled off the Straw HatTM and looked at it in awe. "Shanks had the Pirate King's hat!" he shouted with glee.
"Yep!" the heterochromatic god replied as he served up two plates of steaming hot meat kabobs. "Shanks was actually a cabin boy of Roger's ship. Had it on his head his entire tenure as crewmember of the Roger Pirates!" Meat was ripped off the wooden spit with gusto and swallowed with delight followed by a sigh of content.
"Ah, that boy Ace, your brother?" this drew Luffy's attention, though he did not question how the god knew who Ace was or what his relation to Luffy was since he was a god. "He's Gol D. Roger's son." Luffy's eyes widened at that. "Yep. Hey? Did you know that after Roger died the World Government went on a eugenics hunt, killing any recently born child and mother because they were believed to be Roger's?" The boy's eyes widened at that, and his face turned green at the mere thought of innocent mothers and babies being slaughtered simply on the grounds of being related to the Pirate King.
"Rouge held Ace in her womb for twenty months you know. She killed herself protecting both the child she loved with all of her heart and the memory of the man she loved dearly." Luffy's eyes were now teary as he held the hat to his chest thinking about the sorrow in Ace's own heart. He was a really great big brother, always putting on a tough face even though his was more than likely crying his eyes out on the inside.
"You know, there are a ton of people living harsh lives out there because of the callous attitude and hypocrisy of the World Government. But the Marines can't do a thing because they are nothing more than dogs of the government who must obey their masters' commands," Ivbleyuv told the boy with a shrug as he bit into his kabob. "And people can't rely on pirates, the only truly free people since they are branded as criminals even if all they did was raise the flag, for fear of being punished for associating with them.
"But what can you do? This is just how the world works, the weak are crushed under the feet of the strong and those pure of heart can do nothing as they see all they care about laid to waster before them."
"I'll be change it all," Luffy muttered quietly, his bangs shadowing his eyes. Ivbleyuv raised an eyebrow in interest while a tiny smirked found its way to his lips.
"I'LL CHANGE ALL OF IT WHEN I BECOME THE NEXT PIRATE KING AND HAVE MORE FREEDOM THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD! I'LL BE THE NEXT ONE TO USHER IN A NEW AGE WHERE THE TENRYŪBITO AND OTHER CORRUPT NOBLES CAN'T HIDE BEHIND A CORRUPT WORLD GOVERNMENT! I'LL MAKE IT SO THAT NO ONE ELSE HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH HEARTACHE!"
"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" the god laughed as he launched a palm at the young boy so quickly that he had no time to react. One second later he was one the cave floor blinking up at the ceiling before pulling himself and gazing around the cave. There was no sign of the crates, fire, tent, barrels or god, not that Luffy even remembered that there ever was anything in this cave. He had simply wandered into the cave, somehow fallen asleep and woke up from a weird dream. Not that he had felt that any time had passed. He soon found his way back to the entrance to the cave and saw that it was sunny out, not that it was raining at all before since nothing seemed moist at all.
"Weird," Luffy muttered to himself as he looked back at the cave before sprinting off to find his brother as if nothing had happened before.
"Now what other person's fate should I alter?" Ivbleyuv wondered, scratching his gray beard on his now old face while floating over Earth MCXIV. He grinned wildly as he looked down and spied five souls spread across time and space, four about to die and another to be condemned to be a monster. The god then simply vanished to create new threads that would create the tapestry that would make the next age of this world.
AN: I'm gonna get a deluge of flak aren't I?
It's not as bad as you might think it would be. The romance is very, very light mainly focusing on Nami and Luffy. The [Nami, Monkey D. Luffy, Alvida] tag is only to show it is a harem and not purely LuNa. Think along the lines of Luffy's Renewed Adventures level of harem, but more focul on Nami and Luffy. There are some really funny moments, like the Garp scenes.
To clear something up, Luffy x Nami will be the main pairing with a side of harem, as in there will be romance between Luffy and other women, as well as Sanji x harem and Zoro x harem, but it will be mainly focused on Luffy and Nami as they will have the greatest synergy between them. Sure other girls will love him, and he them, but Nami will always be number one (tied by meat, nakama and being the Pirate King of course).
I really hope you'll give this story a chance. If not… well… you could always wait for one of the really good ones to update?
