Disclaimer: I own all the made-up characters and some other things, but I do not own anything of One Piece.
Prologue
Wealth, fame, and power, Gol D. Roger, the original King of the Pirates, had these and everything else life has to offer. On the day of his execution, his dying words drove countless souls to sea in order to find the legendary treasure: One Piece. His words lured men to the Grand Line, to find it or die trying. Thus, the Great Pirate Era began.
Years pass already, ever since the execution, but none were even got close to acquiring the great treasure One Piece until one rookie pirate change it all. This young pirate was none other than the famous Monkey D. Luffy. Together with his crew, the voyage along the Grand Line, encountering many powerful opponents they must defeat, and many friends and allies as well. Countless of times they have manage to yet shock the world as they overcome many of these powerful enemies and dangers; defeating enemies that threatens the world, and performing incredible feats to save countries. This band of happy-going pirates, whom seem to have been doubted by everyone they encountered, were ones that did it, acquiring Roger's ultimate treasure: One Piece. For now, Monkey D. Luffy, the King of the Pirates, seems to be the unstoppable force, but it did not end the era of the Great Pirates, yet bring forth many in challenging the Pirate King for the throne.
"Destiny, Fate, Dreams…these unstoppable ideas are held deeply in the heart of man. As long as there are people who seek freedom in this world, these things shall not vanish from the earth…" -Gol D. Rogers, The First Pirate King
Chapter 1: The New Era
It was a bright sunny day out in the East Blue. The setting starts in Foosha Village, the town where Luffy began his journey. Everything was normal around town; the villagers were doing what they usually do, and the mayor is currently reading the newspaper; the headlines read "Straw Hats Missing?" The dock was okay as well; a few men fishing and some were loading cargos on boats for selling in other towns.
A medium sized boat arrived at the dock with a Navy sigma on the sail. A young man got off the boat, holding his hand up to his forehead to block the sun from getting into his eyes. He wore a white high-ranked Navy over-coat that hang over his shoulders, a slim black tuxedo, a white silk tie, black shoes, and a pair of goggles on the forehead; on the jacket were three badges in the front and the word "JUSTICE" on the back. He had a familiar pink hair, a cross-shaped scar above his right eye, a rather garish bandanna tied around his forehead with a pair of old glasses over it, looks like in his early thirties (30-33); looks like he still has time to grow and mature. The young marine officers walk through town with barely anyone taking notice. He looked around the place, seeing if there was anything unusual in town. Just as he sighed in relief that nothing happened, he heard glass breaking and a crowd roaring wickedly in the town's old restaurant. A small wrinkly old man was suddenly thrown out of the door and landed in front of a crowd of people.
"Mr. Mayor!" They all cried. They gathered around, trying to help him.
"Heh, stupid old man." A voice laughed. From out of the restaurant, a band of bandits came out; their ringleader was a tall man, wearing blue torn up short jeans, a red sleeveless shirt, a massive brown dirty overcoat, and a straw hat. "Don't know who I am? I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the Pirate King. Show some respect you fool."
The bandits roared wickedly as they pulled out the bartender, Makino, a somewhat middle-aged beautiful lady and was somewhat Luffy's babysitter when he was little, and the ringleader held her by the hair.
"Come on, what's all this? This is the Great Pirate Era, shouldn't there be anyone strong around here?" The self-proclaimed Pirate King asked the crowd. "In this era, there should only be fighters, there's no need for weak people like you. I guess I, Monkey D. Luffy the Pirate King, should set things straight!"
The little mayor struggled to get on kneels. "Please, I'm sorry for what I did. I do anything, but please spare the girl and the people. They have nothing to do with this." He begged weakly.
"Mr. Mayor, please don't!" Makino cried, but was silenced when the ringleader threw her back to his band.
The ringleader approached the mayor and picked him up. "What did I just told you in there? Did you not listen to me?" The ringleader grumbled. He threw the mayor to the ground and stamps his foot on him. "I don't like suck-ups like you. Your kinds of people make me sick, but I'll give your people a chance."
The man drew a sword hidden behind the ragged coat. It shined brightly as his band roared wildly. "The Diamond Blade!" They cried. "Boss's sword is made of peer diamond, no one can break it and it's crazy sharp!" He pointed the tip of the blade at the crowd, whom flinched back once they saw it. "Okay, impress me then. If you all want to save your mayor here, come and get him!"
The crowd began to back away, looking at each other nervously. The man grinned wickedly holding the mayor up close, bringing the sword up against the mayor's neck. "See, what did I tell you? You're all just cowards, and I don't like them. They lost their chance. Execution time then, but first let me shed the first blood by getting rid of you first!"
"Mr. Mayor!" The villagers cried.
"No please, don't!" Makino cried as the bandits roared.
"My, cosplay, people still try to dress up like Luffy?" The marine officers grinned just before the ringleader was about to give the final blow. "I don't know whether Luffy is really inspiring to you all, or that you guys really like to play dress up."
Everyone cleared the path for the marine officer as he made eye-to-eye contact with the leader.
"What did you say to me?" The ringleader grumbled. "You're marine right? Do you even know who I am? I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the Pirate King! Marines should play somewhere else."
"Ha, only Luffy would fall for that get-up." The marine officer laughed. "First off, you're too tall to be him, I clearly don't remember Luffy being that tall. To continue, even though you dress like him, but those clothing are way to expensive for Luffy to buy or keep. Your so call straw hat has way too many holes. Luffy is a pirate, so why is he among a bunch of dirty bandits. Your attitude and personality is way off and clearly you're a bandit with that over-coat. Heh, I'm sorry to say but you are the worst bandit disguised as Luffy I ever met. Telling me to leave these people, now where's the justice in that."
"Says you, I'm clearly the real thing." The bandit denied. "If you asking for a fight, then you're getting it!" The bandit held the blade towards the marine, who stared at it. The bandits laughed and cheered on their leader.
"Oh, it's an actual diamond sword. Geez, it's pretty dangerous in your hands." The marine replied with a smile. "Impressive, but if Tashigi was here, she would have said it's a shame that so much diamond and effort went to waste. Even she wouldn't want such a crappy sword."
"Heh, for a marine, you sure talk big." The ringleader grumbled. "Then I'll give you the honor of dying a upon my blade."
The marine chuckled to himself. "Is that so?" He wondered. He pulled out a white glove and put it on his right hand. "Then let's see how mighty powerful is your so call Diamond Blade."
The bandit began to circle around the marine like a lion circling his opponent. The marine smiled and crossed his arms, feeling confident.
"By the way…" The marine began, catching the bandit's attention. "Keep in mind, "Luffy", you're terrible with weapons, don't break them so soon now."
"What, why you little!" The bandit roared as he charge at the marine. "Eat diamond blade you damn marine!"
The bandit swung his sword, aiming to decapitate the marine.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha…fool." The marine laughed. Just as the blade almost touches his head, "Soru…" he vanished from sight and reappeared behind the bandit.
"Oh shit, you ain't getting me!" The bandit yelled as he gave a heavy swing again.
"I'm sorry, but villains' blades like these…" The marine grinned, raising his right hand. With an enormous strength and speed, he unleashed a powerful punch at the bandit and shockingly shattering the blade into pieces and giving a powerful blow into the bandit's left side jaw. "Stands no chance against my justice."
Everyone gasped in shock as they witness the bandit falling across the street, crashing through a building. The marine stood up straight and blew his gloved hand.
"Shows over." He commented.
The crowd cried in shock about the marine's short battle that ended so quickly, the bandits shook in terror.
"Who the hell is this guy?" One of them cried. "Boss has the impenetrable diamond sword, how in the world did it shattered so easily?"
The shattered pieces came crashing down. The marine smiled, "now you only have diamonds."
The bandits stepped back in fear. "Oh shit, it can't be." One of the bandits recognized. "I should have realized it before! He's a Vice Admiral who was under the apprenticeship of the Marine Hero, Garp the Fist!"
"EH~!" The bandits cried. "Garp, you mean the Vice Admiral Garp of Marine Headquarters!"
The marine laughed. "I'm sorry, really. I'm the Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters, Coby."
"Vice Admiral Coby!" They screamed again.
"Yeah that's right." Coby confirmed. "I was under the apprenticeship of Garp, but after seeing Luffy in action, I knew it wasn't enough. So after years of intense training with Garp and the Admirals, I exceed further in my fighting skills. Not as strong as Luffy still, but enough to stand up to him. Back at headquarters now thanks to this, I'm known the Demon Fist of the East."
"The Four Justices!" The crowd gasped. (You all wondering, what are The Four Justices? Well, I'll explain later, but not now).
The bandits screamed and tried to escape. Coby closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "You all have to pay the price for the damages you have done." He sighed. "Enough!" His eyes suddenly flashed opened and with that the retreating bandits suddenly trembled and fell to the ground, collapsing to Coby's ability that he gained: Haoshoku Haki.
A few hours later, more marine soldiers appeared to take the bandits to prison and repairing the damages around town. Coby was talking to the mayor and Makino at the dock.
"So, you're a friend of Luffy's?" Makino asked.
"Yeah, even though I'm a marine and he's a pirate, we're still friends." Coby replied embarrassingly. "He's sort of the person that inspired me to go this far. It's all thanks to him."
"Thanks to that brat, he ruined the village's reputation you mean." The mayor grumbled. "Being the Pirate King now, he's been doing a lot things lately. That brat's reputation is now the cause of pirates and bandits coming here you know."
"Calm yourself Mr. Mayor." Coby calmed him. "Luffy isn't a bad pirate at all. He's not the one to be blamed for this."
The mayor grumbled a bit more as Coby tried his best to convince him.
"So you're going after Luffy now, aren't you Mr. Coby?" Makino asked.
"Well yes, it's been a while since we battled." Coby confessed. "I'm sort of worried too; he hasn't appeared in the news lately. Wonder where's he's at right now?"
"Are you planning in capturing him?"
"Uh, maybe…if I ever beat him. It's more like I want to see if I'm any stronger since the last time we clashed that's all."
"Oh that's good, I hope you a safe journey then."
"Yes, and thank you again for saving the village." The mayor thanked him. "We can't thank you enough."
"No it's okay, really." Coby replied.
A marine soldier ran up to Coby. "Sir, cargo from Headquarters." A treasure chest was brought forth to him. Coby looked at the chest in confusion. "It's your bonus sir."
Coby crouched to examine the chest, finding it big and heavy. "This is…"
"HQ said this was confiscated treasure. As your yearly salary, they gave you this."
Coby examined it again, finding a steel lock over it. Typical, of course they would send me this. This chest isn't that easily to break open, so they wanted me to break it for them. Coby easily smashed the lock to dust and slowly opened the treasure chest. Inside were shining gold and treasure, which awed the marine soldiers. Coby grinned. "Heh, this is too much." He stood up and looked at the marine soldiers. "Get me a small hand bag will you."
One of the marine soldiers returned with a small pocket bag to store money. Coby took three hand scoops of the treasure, scooping up the minor gold coins, and put them in the small bag and sealed it. "I still need to change these to currency but still it will do." He looked back at the marines. "You all get yourselves a handful too, just the gold coins. I don't plan on using it all now." The marines smiled in relief and all lined up to grab their share, with Coby supervising them too. Even then, the chest was still not even close to empty. A lot of gold coins and treasure still rest in the chest untouched.
"Sir," one of the marines approached Coby. "What are you going to do with this load? There's still a lot left, you should take more."
"Anymore and my bag will rip." Coby chuckled. He closed the chest and slides the chest over to the mayor and Makino. "I think it's best to share it among the villagers"
"Eh," Makino and the mayor jumped.
"This village probably needs it more than I do. Mr. Mayor, please allow us to distribute the remaining treasure to this village."
"Are you sure, we already are in your debt for what you've done for us." The mayor replied.
"You're not indebt sir." Coby ensured him. "I was just doing my part as a marine officer."
"Well if you put it that way…" The mayor shrugged. "I thank you then."
A few minutes later, Coby happily watched as the villagers yet again gathered together as the marines equally distribute the remaining gold coins to them. The major big gold crowns and stuff were given to the mayor so he could use it to rebuild and refine the village.
"This is what I dreamt and longed to see. This is my sense of justice and the duty of the marines." Coby told himself.
A little girl ran up to him and tugged on his coat, grabbing his attention. He squatted down to her as she gave him a rice ball. He smiled and patted her head, accepting her gift. "You're lucky today kid." He chuckled. He got one of the gold crowns and gave it to her. She didn't accepted at first, but after Coby gave her a few nudges with the crown, she shyly accepted. "Go on, take it home to your family. My gift to you little lady." The little girl nodded and pranced off happily, trying to wear the crown but it was too big for her. Coby stood up and looked at the rice ball, showing it to the other officers.
"Hmmm…speaking of rice balls." Coby mumbled to himself. "Reminds me of her now."
A marine soldier ran up for a report. "I have urgent message from the Head Chef sir." The officer handed a letter to Coby who read it immediately:
Where are you? You never come by anymore. You come home immediately! I'll have a new dish you could try when you come home, so get moving!
-Rika, Head Chef of Marine Headquarters
P.S.: Please come home dear, I love you!
Coby stared at the letter miserably and embarrassingly, hearing the other officers snickering in the back. Why you wrote that at the end? It's impossible for me to forget that. Are you trying to embarrass me in front of the other marines? Coby thought, as he turned red; in the back, the other marines gave thumbs up and continue giggling. "Shut up, get back to work!" Coby ordered them with his face all red, snapping them all back to work.
The young Vice Admiral waved good-bye to the cheering crowd and the giggling marines as he headed back to his boat. Just as he was about to set out, the snail-phone rang.
"This Vice Admiral Coby. Go ahead." Coby reported.
"Yo, Coby. It's me." A voice replied.
"Oh, Helmeppo!" Coby greeted him happily. "Where were you? I haven't seen you since my promotion. We were suppose to set sail together, where you head off to."
"Ah, I didn't want to get in your way." His friend replied. "I needed to catch up too so I went under some intense training. It's the only way I'll get better, since Garp taught you Haki."
"I see."
"Yeah, but listen this is very urgent." Helmeppo reported.
"More urgent than Rika's wrath when none of us are around?" Coby asked nervously.
"Well…no, but that's not the point." His friend grumbled. "I heard report say that Straw Hat, Monkey D. Luffy, was sighted near the village you're at!"
"What!" Coby yelled. "Are you sure, was this confirmed? Luffy hasn't appeared for almost 17 years from now. Why all of the sudden…"
"There's no time!" Helmeppo quickly interrupted. "You must go and check for yourself. The Cage Limb of the South is already there with her two subordinates! If it's true, you're going to miss your chance to fight him again!"
Coby hanged up and sailed off to his target destination, hoping that if Luffy were there that he would get his chance again to see his old friend again.
Meanwhile somewhere not so far from Coby, the marines gave chase, a hot pursuit of Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy.
"Quickly, don't let him escape out to sea!" One of them cried. "Arrest the Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy!"
The marines roared as they continued their chase after who they presume to be the Pirate King. From up front, two familiar faces appeared. You all know them as Fullbody and Jango, the duo marine officers under Hina.
"Stop right there you monkey!" Fullbody ordered.
"With this, you will go into a deep sleep now." Jango began. He held out his hypnotizing stringed chakram. "When I count to three, you will fall to a deep sleep and be captured. One…Two…Jango!"
A magenta spiral beam came out, but was easily dodged by hopping over. On the other hand, Jango's hypnosis backfired, putting both Fullbody and Jango to a snoring defeat, sleeping away without realizing their commander were standing over them.
"Useless idiots." Their commander Hina, also now known as The Cage Limb of the South, grumbled. She looks somewhat still look the same, but of course the only things that changed is her age and her strength in combat. "Hina is upset."
The pirate was still airborne from Jango's attack after evading it. Hina stepped in and quickly jumped in front of him. Surprisingly to her, the pirate shrieked and fell backwards, crashing down in to the ground. She quickly secured him, using her devil fruit powers: the Ore-Ore no Mi, sealing the pirate's hands and legs in iron rings. The marines awed as the 'Pirate King' was easily captured.
"That was too easy." Hina commented. "Hina is quite disappointed in the Pirate King. After for so long, did Monkey D. Luffy don't remember how to fight?"
She flipped the pirate face up, trying to look at him carefully. She grinned, but disappointed. "You're not him."
"Well what do you expect?" An immature voice mocked her. "Did you really think the greatest man of the sea, Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of Straw Hat Pirates would show up in a place like this?"
When looking down at him, Hina could tell that this was definitely not Luffy. It was just a teenage boy dressed almost like Luffy, with some major difference in clothing. He wore dark blue trouser shorts with compact pockets on each side, a yellow sash tied around his waist, and a black belt that is sloppy worn over it for fashion, an unbuttoned sleeveless red cardigan with the Straw Hat Jolly Roger printed on the back. He wore fancy wristbands; a red bandanna tied around his forehead, and has a Straw Hat Jolly Roger Tattoo on his right shoulder. She could easily see that under his shirt on his back, there were a few more tattoos, but she couldn't see it clearly. The teenage kid was definitely shorter than Luffy, and bares no scars on his chest or under his eyelid. What really surprised her was that the straw hat, almost look exactly like the original. Hina chuckled and picked up the hat.
"Tell me kid, why are you running around like a Straw Hat fan?" She questioned him, examining the hat. "You know in the past if you were to do this, you would be executed."
The kid looked at her, from toe to head, up and down. Eventually irritating her since he keep staring at her boobs, she gave him a kick in the head.
"Answer me boy." She ordered. "My boys back here don't like it when other stares at Hina. I could have them take care of you."
The kid looked behind her, staring at the grumbling marines.
"Well, is there a reason why I can't really?" He casually asked her. "I mean there's no sign that says I can't now is there?"
Hina chuckled. "You are one smart-mouth naughty boy." She swirl the hat around her fingers and stood over him. "Are you planning on joining the Straw Hats then?"
Yet again, the kid's eyes diverted from her eyes, looking at her again from head to toe, then at the other marines and around the place. "Lady, if I were to join the Straw Hat Pirates, I would have already done so." He carelessly answered.
"I see, but seeing how you have the necessities of the Straw Hats, you support them." Hina asked him sharply.
The kid chuckled. "Naturally, after all I am getting ready to set sail on my own adventure."
"So you're a pirate?"
"Actually, I haven't started, so not yet." He plainly pointed out. "Say, may I ask if that ring on your hand is to fend off suitors and your men or to leave a bruise mark on someone on purpose? Or is it that you're already married?"
Hina looked annoyed, but didn't lose her cool. "Get up." She ordered.
The kid laughed and shook his head. "Can't when my legs won't get me up!"
Hina snapped her fingers; just like that Fullbody and Jango responded and picked the kid up to his feet. "Oh, what gentlemen they are. Are they your suitors?" The kid joked.
"Shut up!" The two marines barked.
A marine soldier ran up to Hina, presenting her a black belt and other things.
"Oh those are mine." The kid laughed. "Whoops, almost forgot about it. Ha, no wonder I felt so wimpy and lightheaded today. You marines scared the crap out of me that I forgot to get it before my escape."
"Failed escape you mean." Hina corrected him. She looked at the kid's accessories that he claimed to be his. "Hina think you're a joke. You want to be a pirate with such ridiculous gear. Ha, don't push your luck."
She picked up a compass and looked at it. "A compass, that gone haywire; doesn't even have the direction North on it." After, she picked up a small backpack that hangs off the belt, examining what's inside. "Nothing but roasted meat, seems like you more into food than being a pirate." Then she picked up a bag that seem quite heavy. "What's this now?" She peeked inside. "A bag…full of flat smooth stones. Are you going to use it pay for air now?" Finally, she went over to the more interesting pile of belongings. "Oh my, Tashigi would love this." Hina smiled, taking a look at a katana. "Sadly it's quite dull to even cut anything." She picked up a well-designed wooden spear. However, the blade tip fell off as soon as she holds it. "This should be a staff since the blade tip is not even on it."
The marines laughed and sneered at the kid, who bobbled his head as they laughed at him.
"Honestly, you're the worst wanna-be pirate Hina ever heard of then." Hina sighed.
"But you heard of me now." The kid commented, pissing Hina off. "So are you done mocking me?"
"Heh, sad that even though your journey is about to begin, and yet you're already captured by the Marines, how sad." Hina teased him. "What do you even plan to do once you become a pirate anyways?"
"Well, first off," The kid answered the rhetoric question. "I'm gonna gather a crew, beat the Pirate King, and then inherit the throne after his reign. After the reign of Luffy, I will be the next King of The Pirates! That's what every pirate would say and want to do right?"
There was a short pause of silence. Then the marines burst out laughing. Even Hina couldn't hold herself and quietly laughed at him.
"Quite an ambition I see…" She chuckled. She looked back at him. "But unfortunately…"
Hina suddenly felt a breeze pass by, stopped and was shocked. The kid disappeared out of sight. "What the impossible!" She gasped. "Where is he?"
Everyone snapped out of laughter and just realized that through the laughing, the prisoner escaped right under their noses.
"Hina ma'am, the pirate's things are gone!" One of the marines cried.
Everyone looked around. Hina smacked Jango and Fullbody. "You dorks, how could you let a brat escape so easily?"
"We're sorry ma'am!" They both apologized.
"I don't want your sorry, I want him captured!" Hina ordered. "Argh, Hina messed up big time!"
"Indeed you did." A voice laughed from above. The marines looked up as Hina's iron chain rings fell down to the concrete with a big crash. "Here, you could have them back. I don't need them."
"It's the kid!" One of the marines cried.
"How he escaped Vice Admiral Hina's devil fruit power?" Another asked.
The kid laughed from above. He looked down at Hina and smiled. "By the way, I left the bags of rocks for you. I finally have cash now. Thank you all for your charity. Oh here are you guys' wallets."
All the marines search their belongings and realized they been had. "My money!" One of them cried. "He took my bonus!" Another yelped. "There goes my salary!" Jango and Fullbody whined.
The kid laughed triumphantly over the marines. "Oh don't worry Vice Admiral Hina." He ensured her. "I got yours too. I have to say though, getting them out of your boobs was…somewhat entertaining and somewhat hard to get. Maybe next time you should hide in a purse or your pocket or something."
Hina flinched bright red, hearing the humiliation. She cuddled up as the other marines' eyes widen and their mouths dropped. "EH~ VICE ADMIRAL'S BOOBS HAVE BEEN GRABBED~!" They all gasped loudly.
Embarrassed, Hina beat the crap out of her subordinates senselessly, silencing them.
"Shishi, man you guys are fun to play around with." The kid snickered. "I didn't know playing with one of The Four Justices would be this fun. Well, hope to see you out of sea!" The kid waved good-bye and dashed off.
"Stop him! I want him back alive so I could teach him a lesson for perverting Hina!" Hina commanded angrily as the angry mob of Hina's admiring subordinates charged after. Hina clutched her fist. "Worst pirate I ever met. How humiliating to fail to capture a rookie pirate, my reputation: ruined."
Back with Coby again, he finally reached the dock where the rumor began. "This is the place, I wonder if it's Luffy or not." Coby wondered. "In any case, it's been awhile since I saw Vice Admiral Hina. Wonder if she already captured the pirate yet?"
Just then, from out of nowhere, the kid pirate burst out from behind a bunch of barrels as the marines pursued him.
"Oh, it's Vice Admiral Coby!" The marines gasped. "The Demon Fist of the East! With both Justices here, there's no way the pirate could escape now!"
Coby got a glimpse of the kid's face, somewhat familiar with the Straw Hat. Luffy? He thought. No, not the real one, but why does this kid reminds me of him? Is it because of the straw hat?
The rookie pirate jumped back and away from Coby as Hina arrived to the dock.
"Hmph Hina didn't expect to see you here boy." Hina greeted Coby.
"Vice Admiral Hina, I'm glad to see you again. You haven't changed one bit, that's good, it means that you're still strong as usual." Coby greeted her back.
"You flatter me, if only if I was younger." Hina flirted with him. "Now is not the time though."
"Right," Coby chuckled, "but I'm surprised that you haven't caught this guy yet. What happened, sick today?"
Hina paused for a bit, turning bright red and looked away from him. "None of a little boy's business."
Coby tilt his head in confusion. "Uh…Hina…you look mentally hurt."
The kid pirate laughed at their conversation. "So this is what it's like when a honorable Justice meets their humiliated comrade, huh?"
"Shut up you brat!" Hina barked.
"Yosh," The kid pirate sneered as he drew his katana. "Let's have some fun Kentoku!"
The two justices charged at him, clashing each other on impact. Surprisingly, the kid manages to hold out for a bit before he was overpowered. Coby smashed the rookie's face and send him flying across the dock. Hina jump and charge in, trying to seal him up again.
Just before Hina could reach him, the kid pirate held his hands out in front of his chest, reaching forward. "Boobs." He plainly said it.
As a reaction, mid-airborne Hina flinched, turning bright red, and immediately clutched her body, protecting her breasts. However, only to fall into the rookie's arms and caught as he held a sea-stone rock up against her neck with a gloved hand, weakening her at the point where she could barely stand.
"Eh!" Her subordinates cried. "Vice Admiral Hina is captured!"
"Why she flinched when the kid did that?" Coby asked.
Hina struggled. "Curse your cowardly trick, kid!"
The marines slowly approached him, but were stopped when he held the blade of the katana up to her neck. "Oh no, don't come any closer now. Her powers are negated by sea-stone you know. Take another step and I might leave a scar on her. You don't want your Vice Admiral here to look ugly now do you?"
The marines trembled as they watched as the pirate kid taking Hina as hostage back up to the dock. The kid smiled at Coby. "You know this quite fun. Hope to see you guys at sea now."
Coby stepped forward. "I'm sorry to say this but I don't think you have chance to get out at sea. You don't even have a boat."
"Really now, is that so." The kid casually replied. He looked around nervously and puckered his lips.
"You marines, get him a sailboat." Coby ordered.
"Huh, but sir." One of them asked.
"Do it, it's the marines loss today." Coby replied. "We can't afford a lost or an injured Justice now. Besides, she's your guys' commander."
The marine soldiers snapped back and realized that their commander was in danger. So as Coby ordered, a soldier brought a boat to the kid. The kid examined the boat, seeing as if it could leak or break easily.
"Don't worry, we marines play fair." Coby replied. "We don't have to worry so much. We can always capture you again out at sea, but we'll let you off this time. Try not to cause to much trouble now."
"Huh, thanks." The kid thanked him. "You're called the Demon Fist of the East, but you're definitely no demon. You're good."
The kid laid Hina down on the ground, placing a sea-stone on top of her head, covering her eyes. "Okay, she's all yours."
The marines began closing in on him, but Coby stopped them. "We marines have given him our words. We can't go back on it. If we do, we're no better than pirates." Coby reminded them. "Like I said, as long as he still lives in the sea, there's always a chance to catch him."
"Yeah!" The kid agreed loudly and nervously. "What he said."
The soldiers backed off as the pirate got ready to set sail. I wondered. Coby looked back at him. "Hey kid." He said. The kid turned around and meets him eye-to-eye contact. Suddenly, Coby unleashed his Haoshoku Haki, scaring away the sea dwellers and knocking some marines out that were in range. However the kid didn't budge nor fall, standing there quite normal and fine. Interesting. Haki didn't even stun him. "I'm quite curious, why do you want to be a pirate? What you plan to do out at sea anyways?"
"Why of course, I'm in it for the thrill of my life!" The kid responded happily. "Voyaging out at sea, meeting new friends, kicking ass, and finding buried treasure, everything! I want to live a life full of adventures, friends, thrills, and dreams!"
Sounds like someone I know. Coby smiled. He crouched down to Hina, who couldn't budge due to the sea-stone covering her eyes, and was about to take it off.
"And also…" The kid continued, holding his straw hat. "It's about time that I go meet up with him again, it's been so long. Shishi, and what's better way to do it than to do what he did when he was younger!"
A weird sensation went through Coby's body. What's this unease feeling I'm having? Is there a storm coming our way?
"I'm gonna do it!" The kid yelled. "I'm gonna grab me a powerful crew, let the world know me and turn it upside down, and meet up with him at One Piece! That will be the day, when I will officially earn the right to be the next King of The Pirates!"
Coby trembled a bit. Hold on a minute that line! The talk, the crazy ambition, and the thinking! They all match up to Luffy! The kid's boat was about to head away from the dock, as he was about to leave the island. It all makes senses now. The clothes, the tattoos, and even the hat! I should have realized that about the hat. That's not just any straw hat; it's the Straw Hat that Luffy received from Red Haired Shanks, which was passed to him by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger himself! Coby took the sea-stone off of Hina, who snapped back up, gasping for air. Coby yelled out to the kid. "Hey kid, that hat of yours!" The kid turned around and laughed. "That's Luffy's hat isn't it? Why in the world do you have it?"
The kid laughed out loud and stood up in his small dinky boat. "So, Vice Admiral Coby, you realized!"
"What that's the Straw Hat's hat?" Hina questioned Coby.
"It is." Coby said under his breath. He yelled out again. "Hey kid, how are you related to Monkey D. Luffy? Who are you?"
The kid grinned as the sea trembled and a massive sea monster, also known as Sea Kings, that looks a massive sea serpent appeared before the dinky boat. The kid turned to face the great monster, reached and aimed his fist at the creature. "Who am I you asked." He snickered. The sea monster attacked, getting ready to devour his lunch. Just before impact though, the kid countered with an attack that shocked both Hina and Coby. "Gomu-Gomu no…" The kid's fist suddenly hardened up to a maroon rock fist. "Rock Pistol!" Instantly stretched and landed a powerful hard fist right into the sea king's jaw, smashing it with unbelievable force out of the sea and sent it flying over the great blue. "My name is Monkey D. Silver, and I am the pirate that's gonna turn this world upside down!"
The marines' mouths dropped and eyes widened as Silver left them behind and out of sight. Hina gasped in shock of the news and collapsed on her knees while Coby calmly sat down. Instead of having the same reaction as the others, he merely smiled at the news. As Hina ordered her men to head back to her ship to make the call back to HQ, Coby chuckled to himself. "So, that's why you were missing for a long time, huh Luffy? I didn't expect that…instead of finding you…I find your son on his way on being just like you. The Pirate Prince huh, I guess the Great Pirate Era is about to have a new beginning."
