chapter 1

New World—East Region: Fuusha Village

The people of Fuusha Village are happily going about their daily lives. In the forest to the north of the village two men are fighting. One of them has black hair, black eyes, a scar under his left eye. He is wearing a red vest, blue jeans like shorts, and sandals with a straw hat on his head. He is using his bare hands to fight while the other one has green hair, is wearing a plain white shirt and black pants, and has three swords to fight. After a long fight they stopped fighting.

"You are good, Zoro." The black haired one said, breathing heavily.

"You are not bad yourself, Luffy." Zoro said, also breathing heavily.

"So is it time?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah, it is."

Luffy stood up and shouted, "World here we come!"

"Keep it down Luffy, it's not like the world's gonna hear you." Zoro said

"Yeah I know, but I'm just saying…"

Zoro stood up. "Let's go, Luffy." He started walking away.

"Yeah. Coming!" Luffy said and followed him.

After walking for a while they ended up in the same place they had left earlier.

"Isn't this the place we were training in?" Luffy asked, looking around.

"No, why would you say that?" Zoro said.

"But this is where we always train." Luffy walked past Zoro, heading in a new direction. "Follow me!" Zoro whined, saying he wasn't lost, but followed Luffy anyway.

After a short time they reached the village and went to the party bar. Upon entering, Luffy shouted, "Makino, food!"

"Coming right now!" Makino shouted back. Then she went and brought some food for Luffy and some booze for Zoro.

"Thanks, Makino." Luffy said and started eating.

"Thanks." Zoro said, drinking his booze.

"Whee woul liib tomowo mowing." Luffy said with a full mouth, spitting some on Zoro.

"Don't speak when you are eating, damn it!" Zoro shouted.

"Here, clean yourself up." Makino said, giving him clean clothing.

"Thanks." Zoro said while wiping the food off himself. "Yeah, we will leave tomorrow morning so be ready, and don't oversleep."

"I won't!" Luffy exclaimed, slapping his hand on the table for more food.

Makino brought him more food and said, "So you guys gonna leave tomorrow, hah?"

"Yeah, we decided this today." Zoro said.

"You guys should be careful. I've heard rumors about bandits terrorizing the travelers in the area." Makino said.

"Don't worry, if they show up we will just kick their ass. Right, Zoro?" Luffy said excitedly.

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to it." Zoro said.

"Okay, good luck, then." Makino smiled at them indulgently.

Zoro stood. "Well, I'm going, then. See you tomorrow morning, Luffy." Zoro walked out of the bar.

"See ya!" Luffy replied, still eating.

Early the next morning, the people of Fuusha Village were waking up to start their daily routine. Luffy woke up and rubbed his eyes. Sitting in bed, he gazed at his hat and smiled.

"Today is the day."

Then he walked downstairs. Makino saw him and smiled.

"Good morning, Luffy." Luffy grinned back at her.

"Good morning, Makino!" Then sat down at a table. Makino placed some food in front of him. Luffy thanked her and started eating his breakfast.

After eating Luffy packed his things, said goodbye to Makino, and headed out. While walking through the village, Luffy looked at the people's houses for the last time.

When he reached the edge of the village he saw Zoro there, already waiting for him.

"Yo, Zoro! Been waiting long?"

"Nah, just got here."

"Then shall we go?"

"Yeah."

And thus they headed out on their journey to get to the capital to join the army to spread their names throughout the nation as great warriors.

New World Kingdom—Capital City: Raftil

Early morning in the Castle, a beautiful orange-haired, brown-eyed girl woke up.

"Good morning, Princess." A black-haired girl said.

"Good morning, Robin. And please, call me Nami."

"Sorry, Princess, but it's hard for me to say your name." Robin apologized while helping Nami get dressed.

"Hey, Robin, I wanna go outside today."

"But Princess, it's dangerous! What if someone recognizes you?" Robin said and brushed her hair.

Nami moved away from the mirror to the window to look outside over the city. "I wanna see my people; walk among them and understand them better…"

"I'm sure they are happy to have a princess like you."

"You think so?"

"I'm sure, Princess."

It'd been two days since Luffy and Zoro had left Fuusha Village and now they are walking through a thick forest. Suddenly three men jumped out of the brush, each holding a sword

"Stop right there!" One of the men said.

"Give us all your money and belongings, or you die!" Another man said.

"And don't try anything funny! It won't work on us cuz we are part of The Buggy Bandits!" The third man said.

Luffy tilted his head in confusion. "Buggy?"

"Yes! Buggy the Clown!" The first man said.

"Do you now this 'Buggy' guy, Zoro?"

"Nah, never heard of him."

"Whaaaat?!" The three men exclaimed in unison.

"Then we will show you the power of The Buggy Bandits!" Another man said then all three attacked at once.

In mere seconds they were all cut down.

"Hey Zoro, that's not fair! I wanted to have fun too!" Luffy whined.

"Too bad they were too weak to stand against my three-sword style." Zoro said, putting his swords away.

After that they continued walking on their way, talking about what had happened and laughing about it.

"Are those the bandits that people fear?" Luffy said, laughing while wiping away a tear. "And you went all serious on them with three-sword style. Maaaaaan, you should have only used one sword instead of three!"

"Shut up, I love using three-sword." Zoro said irritatedly.

As they were walking, Zoro happed to look up and shouted, "Watch out!" He jumped to the left while Luffy jumped to the right. An arrow hit the ground where they had been standing.
