Disclaimer: I don't know One Piece.


Once upon a time, there was a great pirate, his name was "Gol D Roger". He had conquered every single treasure that existed. His last words before his execution have inspired pirates around the world.

"Want my ultimate treasure? It's possible… I will give them to those who can find them. I have gathered everything in this world and already hidden them in "That" place."

After that speech the crowds of people started to embrace the call of the sea and thus

The World Has Entered the Pirate Era.


In the peaceful village of Foosha

A 7-year-old child with short spiky hair wearing a tank top with a picture of an anchor on it was standing on a pirate ship's figurehead with a knife in his hand.

"Oi! What are you doing Luffy?" asked Shanks the captain of the ship.

"Shanks! Take me out to sea with you!" Luffy screamed.

"Stop joking around and get down from there" Shanks laughed.

"I'm not joking this time! I've had enough! I'll prove it for you all to see!" screamed Luffy annoyed that the pirate crew wasn't taking him seriously.

"Hahaha! Go for it! Let's see what you are gonna do!" shouted Shanks still laughing.

"Luffy is going to do something funny again" commented an amused crew member smiling.

Luffy suddenly stabbed himself under his left eye.

"What!" the whole crew screamed in shock.

"I..Id…Idiot what the hell do you think you are doing?!" screamed Shanks as he rushed to Luffy who was screaming in pain "Ouch!"


Later in a bar in the village

"Let's drink up and celebrate Luffy's craziness!" Shanks screamed. The bar was lively, the crew drinking, eating and brawling and have a good time.

"Ah it didn't hurt one bit" said Luffy with tears in his eyes.

"Liar! Don't do something so stupid again!" screamed Shanks.

"I'm not afraid of pain! Next time take me out to sea! I want to be a pirate too!" declared Luffy smiling a D shaped smile.

"You can't handle being a pirate! You don't know how to swim and not being able to swim is a pirate's greatest weakness!" Shanks replied laughing.

"I'll be fine if I stay on the ship besides I've trained so much. My punch is as strong as a pistol!" Luffy declared proudly punching the air.

"Pistol? Wow…really?" Shanks asked in a bored tone.

"What's with that tone!?" Luffy screamed.

The crew tried to cheer Luffy. "Be happy Luffy!" "Yeah! A pirate's life is great!" "The sea is so wide. You can go on adventures!" and more comments came from members of the crew.

Luffy started to glow with enthusiasm.

"Oi! Don't give him dumb ideas, guys!" Shanks said exhausted.

"Come on captain, why don't we take him with us? It's not a big deal!" a crew member asked.

"Well, then one of you guys can stay here and let him take your place." Shanks answered.

"Back to drinking!" the crew cheered.

"Traitors!" Luffy screamed angrily.

"Luffy, the most important thing is that you are still too young, wait at least another 10 years or more and maybe then I'll take out you out to sea" Shanks said.

"Darn it Shanks! I'm not a kid anymore!" Luffy shouted angrily.

"Don't be mad. Here, drink some juice" Shanks said pushing the juice to Luffy.

"Ok! Thanks" Luffy said as he gulped down the juice.

"You really are a kid! How funny!" Shanks screamed as he laughed.

"What a dirt trick!" Luffy screamed after he realized he had been tricked.

"I'll tell you what Luffy show me your pistol punch and we'll see if you can come along with us, deal!" Shanks asked trying to calm down the anger 7-year-old.

"Ok! I'll show you my punch and you'll have to take me with you" Luffy said excited.

He faced the bar counter and got into his stance, by this point he had the whole crew's attention. He started to remember all the events of the days and how much he wanted to go to sea and put everything he had into the punch and he punched.

The crew looked in silence as Luffy punched the counter before erupting in laughter as Luffy failed.

"Ahh" Luffy cried out in pain holding his hand.

"Are you okay?" Makino the bartender asked Luffy with concern.

Just then the door was kicked open by a thuggish man. He walked into the bar and eyed the pirates and made a comment about how weak pirates are to himself before walking to the counter.

"We are mountain bandits. Don't wet yourselves. We are not here to cause any trouble. We just wanna buy 10 barrels of sake" he declared cockily.

"I'm so sorry but we are out of sake." Makino replied calmly.

"Oh?" the bandit leader said.

He pointed at the pirates "That's strange, then what are they drinking? Is it water?" He questioned slightly annoyed.

"It's sake but I'm afraid that's all we had" Makino replied still calm.

"I'm sorry" Shanks said entering the conversation

"Looks like we finished all the sake here. Sorry about that" Shanks laughed "Here if you don't mind take the last bottle" holding out the bottle.

The bandit leader took the bottle but he suddenly then smashed it on Shanks head covering him in sake shocking Makino and Luffy while Shanks's crew just observed quietly.

"Who do you think I am? Don't take me so lightly" The bandit leader said "What good is on bottle. Look at this, I'm Higuma, I have a bounty of 8 million beri on my head" he pulled out a poster with his face. "Stupid pirates! Now that you know how I am, don't mess with us again" He looked at Shanks one last time before leaving.

After all the bandits left, Shank's crew started to laugh "Hahaha they got you good captain" "You looked so silly! Ahh". Shanks joined in and started laughing too.

But they didn't notice the angry looking 7-year-old.

"What is wrong with you guys!?" Luffy screamed "That was disgraceful! Why didn't you fight him?! Who laughs after getting picked on? You are a coward."

Shanks looked at his little friend and knew he was upset "Calm down Luffy, It's just a bottle of sake. There is nothing to be upset about".

Luffy just started to walk away "I don't want to see you again, coward"

Shanks grabbed Luffy's hand "Oh c'mon. Don't be angry Luffy besides you didn't impress me with your punch".

Luffy forgetting his anger screamed "It will be like a pistol okay".

Shanks smiled at Luffy's simplistic nature as he sat in front of the counter "Well I guess you will have train harder huh?"

Luffy smiled and nodded before walking to the bar counter before noticing a small box in the corner. Luffy turned to ask about the box but saw the crew was to busy having fun so he just opened the box. The box contained a white fruit that looked like an apple with weird spiral patterns inside it.

Luffy took the fruit and decided to eat it. As he took a bite he almost spat it out due to its horrible taste but managed to swallow it, deciding not to waste he finished the rest of the fruit begrudgingly.

As Luffy finished he heard Shanks call for him "Oi! Luffy where did ya go?"

"I am here Shanks"

Shanks who had been talking to Makino looked at Luffy and screamed in shock which snapped his crew out of their jolly state "Luffy! Did you get the fruit that was in that box!"

"I did! It tasted horrible but I managed to eat it regardless. I kinda feel weird after eating it. What was it?" Luffy answered surprisingly eloquent.

Shanks ignored Luffy sudden change in speaking "Luffy, that was a devil fruit! It gives you a special ability but it takes away your ability to swim."

"Oh, really so what ability do I get then?" Luffy asked calmly.

"How can you be so calm?" Shanks and the crew screamed.

"I don't know. I just feel more aware more… I don't know how to describe it." Luffy said slightly confused.

"Well, you just ate the mythical zoan devil fruit, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zeus!" Shanks explained "The weird feeling you are experiencing might be the enlightenment that humans are said to experience when eating a human fruit"

"Zoan devil fruit?! What does this fruit do?" Luffy asked confused.

"Zoan devil fruits are fruits that allow to the eater to transform into a full or hybrid version of the animal the fruit represents. Devil fruits are quite rare but what you ate is called a mythical zoan devil fruit. It is among the rarest of devil fruits and allows transformations into mythical creatures of legend" Benn Beckman answered.

"So according to what you said, because I ate the human fruit I am enlightened and I can transform into a mythical human creature known as Zeus" Luffy questioned.

"Yes… Don't ask what you can do or how you can transform. You will learn it eventually. Just don't try swimming or anything like that, you will just sink to the bottom" Shanks sighed.

"Captain, what are we gonna do? It took us quite a bit to get that fruit." A crew member asked Shanks.

Before Shanks could reply "I am sorry I ate the fruit, it is quite rare and worth a lot I am sure." Luffy said with regret.

Shanks looked at Luffy before smiling "What can ya do. It is fine this just means that we can't take Luffy out to sea anymore" Shanks said laughing.

His crew looked at him before joining in "That is true." "You can't swim anymore Luffy" "Hi, At least Luffy is smart now thanks to the fruit" The crew continued to laugh at Luffy's expense.

Luffy just smiled at the crew behavior.


A few days later

"Hello, Mr Fish monger could I buy some fish?" Luffy asked politely with a smile.

"Hello Luffy! You seem like you are in a good mood!" The Fish monger said "The pirates set sail with you, didn't they? And you aren't able to swim anymore."

"They are only gone for a while and besides I will just have to make sure that I don't fall overboard." Luffy replied "Once I learn how to transform and my powers, I will think of something."

"For heaven's sake! I won't allow you to become a pirate Luffy. It will make the village look bad. Now, the captain isn't a bag fellow but you stay away from those pirates you hear!" A man screamed at Luffy.

"Good morning to you too, Mr Mayor!" Luffy answered the screaming man before walking to the bar.

When he got there, he heard loud noise inside the bar, He smiled thinking his friends were back he walked into the bar but he saw the mountain bandits instead.

Makino slammed open the mayor's door.

"Mayor, we have a problem!" Makino screamed with urgency.

"What is wrong Makino!" The Mayor asked putting his tea down.

"Luffy is in trouble with the mountain bandits!" Makino screamed.


Else where

"You are a strange boy! No matter how much we beat you, you still get up" Higuma said as he kicked Luffy.

"Hey! We gotta go help Luffy!" a townsman said from behind a window.

"Are you crazy! If we try to help those bandits will kill us! Besides, Luffy is the one that started the fight!" Another townsman replied.

"Damn you!" Luffy screamed in anger as he rushed Higuma "Take back what you said!"

"Brat!" Higuma said as he kicked Luffy and stomped on his face "I was drinking and talking to my men. How on earth did I offend you."

"Get you filthy feet of me. You mountain ape!" Luffy screamed as anger boiled in him.

"Please let the boy go!" The Mayor screamed before getting on his knees "I don't know what Luffy did… I have no intention of fighting you people. Please we will give you money just don't hurt the boy!"

"Nice try old man! You know how the world works but I am afraid it is too late. This boy not only attacked me, he called me names. I won't stand for that. I will just kill this brat!" Higuma said as he drew his sword.

On hearing that Luffy's anger reached its limit, he felt his instinct take over and his body change.

Higuma raised his sword but before he could bring it down on Luffy he fell on the floor.

Luffy slowly stood up with his body starting to change, he grew as tall and much more muscular additionally his hair grew to shoulder length and turned white. His eyes turned piercing light blue as he turned to stare at Higuma. On instinct he held is hand out and a lightening bolt started to form in his hand.

Luffy looked at his body and the bolt in his hand before throwing the bolt at the bandits. The bolt struck the bandits traveling from one to another electrocuting them before returning to Luffy's hand.

Higuma stood up looking at his men lying on the floor before turning to run.

"Don't you ever insult my friends again!" Luffy screamed as he threw the bolt at Higuma who got struck in the back before he fell.

Luffy then shrink back his normal self.

"Hi, what is going on here?" Shanks asked as he appeared behind the Mayor and Makino who were standing in shock "Nobody came to greet us at the harbor…Luffy?"

"Shanks?" Luffy tiredly asked as he collapsed.


Later that day

Luffy woke up feeling extremely tired, looking around he saw he was in the bar.

"So, you up Luffy?" Shanks called out.

"What happened?" Luffy asked.

"You beat the crap out of those bandits! Good job Luffy!" Lucky Roo explained with a smile.

"Yeah, you managed to transform into your Zoan form from what we heard" Yasopp said as he finished his drink.

"Really, why do I feel so tired?" Luffy asked as he stood up.

"You are tired cause you transformed and used a lot of energy on your first try" Shanks said "You will get more used to it as you learn your powers"

"Alright" Luffy said tiredly

"By the way Luffy, Makino told us what happened… Thanks for defending us" Shanks said with a smile.

"Yeah Luffy!" "You are pretty brave huh?" "Let's celebrate!" The crew members screamed one after then other.

Luffy smiled at all the praises he was receiving.


A few weeks later

"You are really leaving this time?" Luffy questioned.

"Yep, we have stayed here long enough. It's about time we move on. Are you upset?" Shanks asked looking at the boy he and his crew had befriended in the last few weeks.

"Yes... but I won't force you to take me along anymore. I'll become a pirate by myself" Luffy said with a smile.

"Hehe, I wouldn't take you even if you begged me." Shanks said sticking his tongue out. "You don't have what it takes to be a pirate just yet" Shanks said with a smile.

"Careful Shanks, I might just prove you wrong!" Luffy declared with a D-shaped smile "One day, I'll find myself a crew that is as strong as yours! I'll train and work hard and become the King of Pirates!"

"Ohhh! So, you want to be bigger than us, huh?" Shanks exclaimed "…. Well then this hat is a gift to you" Shanks said as he put his straw hat on Luffy's head.

"It's my favorite hat, you know. When you become a great pirate in the future, find and return that hat to me." Shanks said as he walked onto his ship.

Luffy held on to the hat and pulled it down to cover his crying face as he was overwhelmed by emotions. "Thank you, guys, for everything" Luffy screamed as tears continued to flow. The crew just smiled at their little friend.

"Set Sail!" Shanks screamed.

"His going to be big" Benn Beckman said smiling to his captain.

Shanks looked at sky with a smile "Yeah! I know".


10 years later

A young man in a black suit with a maroon shirt and black tie wearing a straw hat, over his suit he wore a black captain's coat, he also wore sandals which slightly ruined his formal appearance. (Luffy looks like he did at the end of Strong World but he doesn't have a gun).

"I will be going now! Take care of the village and yourselves!" Luffy called out as he stepped onto a small raft that he had bought. The villagers of Foosha who had gathered cheered as Luffy set off on his journey.

As Luffy was sailing, suddenly a large Sea king appeared in the distance with its jaws open as it charged at Luffy.

"Stupid beast! You dare stand in my way" Luffy asked amused before swiping his hand.

The beast's charge suddenly came to a halt as it's heads slowly slid of and fell into the sea.

"Now then, my journey begins!" Luffy declared.
