Author's Note: Sup, guys here with a new fanfiction and to those who are new readers, welcome! This idea was in my head for the past couple of days because I haven't seen any One Piece fanfic use this and it seemed really interesting to write about. If you guys have seen this idea already used, can you PM the link because it would be cool to read. Also, if some details confuse you, that's because I changed them like Luffy's height because, after all, it is a fanfic. Currently, there's only about 1,000-1,600 words written and that's because it's only a prologue. If I get positive reviews, I'll continue, if not, well... we'll we see! So with that,

Enjoy!

Prologue: The Return

It has been exactly 2 years since the Great War between the White Beard Pirates and the Navy with the Royal Shichibukai ended.

So many things have occurred in those years. Some eventful and some not so eventful, but today would be the day that the whole world would be shaken to the very core.

The scene starts off in an island that contained volcanoes, mushroom- like trees, and mountains.

This island was known as the island of Rusukaina, located northwest of the Island of Women. This island, to those who knew of it, was greatly known for being an incredibly harsh island because of it having 48 seasons that change every week. Along with these harsh seasons, the island contained many several different species of dangerous animals that not even 1000 regular man could defeat. On this day, it was snowing on Rusukaina.

Deep within in the island, one would see what appeared to be a gigantic radish with several rocks around it. On one of those rocks, there was a straw hat with a red sash that had a piece of paper on it that had the words "Rayleigh" resting on the rock.

Soon enough, footsteps could be heard approaching the area. When the sounds of footsteps ceased, a figure was seen standing in front of the rock containing the straw hat.

The figure could not be identified to be either a man or woman because they were currently wearing a black cloak with a hood that shrouded their whole appearance. The only thing you were able to see was their mouth, their height, which was 6'0 even, and a weird bump protruding from their right shoulder within the cloak, that looks like a sheath for a sword or something similar.

The figure just stood their for a couple seconds staring at the straw hat until they was broken from their trance by a feminine shout.

"Luffy! Are you ready?!"

The figure, who was now known as Luffy, replied back in a deep, but not too deep, masculine voice, which easily identified them as a man.

"Yeah! I'll be there in a second."

Luffy reached over with his right hand and picked up the hat. Bringing it back so that it was near his chest, he turned the hat so that the bottom of it where you put your head in was facing him.

Luffy cracked a small smile as he stared at the hat in his right hand.

"I can't believe 2 years have already passed. Time sure does fly."

Moving the hat to his left hand, Luffy turned back over to the top and patted away some snow that was still on the hat.

After he was finished, Luffy started walking towards the direction of the voice.

It didn't take long before he reached what seemed to be a campsite and he looked at the scene in front of him.

A gigantic blue gorilla was fighting over a piece of meat with an equally gigantic alligator in the back while another gigantic animal, a lion, was roaring threateningly at a blond haired woman, who currently had an arrow pointed at the beast.

The blond haired woman was 5'8 and was wearing revealing bikini top and miniskirt that was brown, which seemed to be made out of animal skin, with a Marine like cape over it.

Seeing the danger, Luffy decided to intervene as he walked to the group.

"Hey!"

This made the blond haired woman gasp slightly in surprise before she calmed down while the lion as well as the gorilla and alligator tensed up and looked at his figure in fear.

"What's wrong with you guys? Look at her. You can she that she's my friend."

As soon as he was standing next to the woman, Luffy raised his head and slightly narrowed his eyes at them, causing said animals to look even more fearful.

"Stand down."

The Lion immediately backed away so that it was side by side with the gorilla and alligator, who both, despite the words not being aimed at them, stopped arguing over the piece of meat.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Luffy with gratitude, who turned to her and seemed to look at her curiously.

"Are you alright, Marguerite?"

The woman now identified as Marguerite nodded.

"Yes, I am. Thank you, Luffy. Anyways, the ship is ready to depart. We can set sail any time you want."

Luffy looked down at Marguerite and nodded his head.

"Ok. Thanks."

While this was happening, off to the side, there were several different women all wearing similar clothing to Marguerite except for 2 people.

The first person was a small old women at a height of somewhere around 3'5 wearing a pink causal top with a bluish purple snake in her right hand.

The other person was tall, slender black haired woman, a height of 6'3 to be exact, where her hair passes her waist and some locks of hair framing her face. She has dark blue eyes with incredibly long lashes, J-Cup breasts, high forehead, and a narrow waist. She was wearing a revealing red blouse with the green symbol of the Kuja adorned on it, along with a white cape like the rest of the women around.

These were the Kuja Pirates, Elder Nyon:Former Empress of the Kuja, and Boa Hancock: Current Empress of the Kuja respectively.

Hancock giggled slightly as she commented,

"Incredible."

A tall green haired woman beside her, which was Sandersonia, one of her sisters, smiled as she added her own two cents.

"He's comes so far. He's now known as the boss of this island."

Luffy looked away from Marguerite and approached the 3 beasts.

The 3 animals, sensing that Luffy wasn't angry at them anymore, smiled as he approached.

Deciding to mess with the animals, Luffy smirked slightly under the hood, which wasn't seen by anyone.

"Aw man. Since I made you guys my friends and not my lunch, I don't get to eat you guys at all."

The 3 animals smiles got smaller as they gained nervous looks.

Seeing this, Luffy's smirk grew bigger.

"What a waste. You looked so tasty, too."

That was it for the animals and they brought their head down in depression as a miniature storm cloud appeared over each of their heads, causing Luffy to chuckle.

Not knowing that Luffy was just joking, Hancock decided to reassure Luffy as she cupped her cheek with her right hand.

"You don't have to worry, Luffy. All of your favorite foods are waiting on the ship. Maybe after you realize how thoughtful I am, you might believe I'll be a fine wife for you."

Luffy kind of sweat dropped at her reply, but turned to her and thanked her anyway.

"Hehe, thanks Hancock. I think."

Hancock immediately gained a small blush an brought her head back as she moaned a little.

"I love how charming and smooth you are with your words."

Here, Luffy's sweat drop grew bigger.

"How was that smooth and charming?"

Shaking his head, he turned back to looking at the 3 animals in front of him and listened to the others words.

Sandersonia decided to get down to business before her sister gets even more ridiculous, which she'll never admit out loud.

"Rayleigh left half a year ago. I'm sure he'll be waiting for you along with your crew on Sabaody."

Luffy grew a fond smile on his face as recalled all the memories of training with Rayleigh and adventures he had with his crew.

"I managed to master Haki within the first 6 months and finish the rest of my training in the remaining time, after all. Now it's time to say goodbye to you guys and this island."

The 3 animals had some tears on the bridge of their eyes. Luffy, though, reassured them that it wouldn't be forever and that he would come back to visit when he was the Pirate King, which immediately cheered them up.

Luffy turned around to face the Kuja Pirates and he placed the Straw Hat on the top of his head within the hood as he gave a grin that showed a little more of his face, which wasn't much as it only showed a scar on the bottom of his left eye.

"TIME TO GO!"
