Hi!

Welcome to my first story here on FanFiction! Now since this is my first story i would appreciate all reviews and tips for the story i can get. I also want to say that English is not my main language so don't expect perfect grammar or spelling, but feel free to correct me.

I DO NOT OWN ONE PIECE.

Now onto the story!

In Fuschia village we find a bar filled with Pirates, though those that stood out more from the others was a kid that was currently holding his stomach in pain, this kid was Monkey D. Luffy. The man next to him was the Yonko, Red-hair Shanks.

Finally Shanks had enough of Luffy moaning in pain and asked ''Anchor would you atleast tell me why you are holding your stomach in pain and moaning like crazy?''

''Sorry it's just i ate a really disgusting fruit'' Luffy said and went back to holding his stomach in pain

''ah okey tha...wait where did you get this fruit?'' Shanks asked really nervous for some reason.
Though before Luffy could answer a crewmate of Shanks interrupted and Yelled''Captain! It's not there the Fruit its gone!'' Every pirate in the room tensed.

''Luffy did you happen to eat the fruit in that chest over there?'' Red-hair asked, everyone in the room was nervous fearing his answer.

''Yeah Shanks it tasted so bad. Why are you asking?'' Everyone paled

Then Shanks started screaming ''LUFFY YOU IDIOT! THAT WAS AN AKUMA NO MI! WHEN YOU EAT ONE YOU CAN NEVER SWIM AGAIN!''.

''WHA...wait i couldn't even swim from the beginning but still now i can never learn to swim'' luffy said while pouting.

''Yes although you can't swim anymore, this fruit is very powerful its almost the same as The 'mera-mera no Mi though this uses flames from hell. I even heard there was a boy 3 years older then you in the forest that ate the original fruit, perhaps you could become friends with him?'' Shanks said and grinned(in my story Ace ate the fruit earlier so expect him and luffy to have a lot of same abilities).

''Yeah and Shanks i have a question.'' Luffy asked though this was a little more shy and queit then the usual Loud and Careless Luffy.

''If it's about joining our crew, sorry anchor the answer is still no'' Shanks said while grinning.

''No! That's not my question..''Shanks was a little suprised but kept listening, then luffy continued''You see when i was in the forest yesterday a huge tiger tried to eat, since i knew i wasn't strong enough i just waited for it to eat me, but then right there i remembered that i couldn't die here, so i just felt that i couldn't die here so i yelled at it to stop and it felt like an invisible force came out of me like, but that's not the weird part the weird part is that it got knocked unconscious right after i felt the force disappear.'' He was met with silence

...

''WHAT?!'' Everyone yelled, some of them started muttering with a suprised expression that a kid might have 'Haoshoku Haki'. When everyone calmed down Shanks took his chance to speak with Luffy again. ''Luffy that invisible force you called it it's real name is Haki there are 3 types of it and you unlocked the rarest of them only 1 in a million is supposed to have it and if what you say is true then you could very well become one of the strongest pirates in the world. With your fruit and haki by your side your gonna become scary'' He said while grinning at the last part.

''Really?!'' The dark haired boy asked with stars in the eyes. Shanks replied with'' Yes! Well not stronger then me''. Luffys face fell and everyone laughed, Luffy started laughing with them after he got out of his depression of being weaker then Shanks.

Then the yonko asked ''Well Luffy i want to give you a proposition'' ''Sure go ahead and tell me what it is'' ''Okey i want to give you some basic training in Haki, since we have to leave in a month i'll give you pointers so you can continue on your own. I will tell you what you have to do for me when the month is over if you accept?'' Red-hair said while smiling.

''I accept Shanks! When do we start?!''

Shanks got a crazy grin on his face and said in a dark tone''Now!'' Luffy paled when he saw this.

TIMESKIP

1 month later...

''Hey Shanks are you leaving now?! Luffy yelled with a sad expression on his face. The month was finally over it was really tough training with shanks, he got many cuts and bumps on his head and body from training in Kenbunshoku Haki. Shanks didn't help luffy in his devil fruit power since he wanted Luffy to create his own ideas like fighting style and techniques. Red-hair also made his 'student' realize he have to be prepared for the pirate life, so he made him read books when they weren't physically training, to increase his intellect, like simple first aid etc.

''Yeah kiddo, we gotta go back to paradise now, well are you ready to hear your part of the deal for training you?'' shanks asked while grinning, it made 'Anchor' a little nervous of what it was going to be.

''I'm ready to hear it Shanks i'll try do honor it as best as i can'' Said Luffy.

''Okey all i want you to do is keep training and reading, and one more thing'' the black flame user sees that he reaches up to his straw-hat and places it on top of Luffys head, he hears Shanks nakama gasp in the background. That made Monkey realize that this hat was very precious to Shanks
''Luffy i want you to give me back this once you reached your goal in life and now i want you to shout it out so every one can hear!'' The yonko said while grinning like a madman and a nodding Luffy mirroring it so the Mera user took a big breath and screamed

''IM GOING TO FIND ONE PIECE AND BECOME THE STRONGEST PIRATE IN THE WORLD!''
