"WOW your teeth are so cool!"
A high pitched voice shouted excited from the side. Katakuri looked to side to see a little boy with black fluffy hair.
"Hi kid what are you doing here?" Katakuri asked curious it was the first time seeing him so he didn't know what to expect.
Before he could his answer a loud thunder came crashing in a tree near them and the little boy vanished to the tree.
"SO COOL! IS THE NOW ASH? HUH!? What is that oh! FOOD!!"
Katakuri went fast after him to see if he was ok. Even thought he shouldn't care about him, something feels about him that smells trouble. "OH GROSS?!!" and yeah he just ate a devil fruit lucky me.
"Hey kid that's a devil fruit" he said and he sweat dropped when he had stars in the eyes.
"Cool! Now I'm Katakuri. Oh! And nii-san do know where Katakuri is mama told he was going to meet me... I don't know where. And my name is Monkey D. Charlotte Luffy nice to meet you"
Katakuri paled and took the boy who grew cat ears and tail fast head over foot to the castle when he was in front the door from the tee party he entered to see his Mother Happy chatting with Airi.
"Oh! Katakuri why are you in such a hurry? And why are you holding a cat?" Airi asked worried staring at Luffy who transformed complete in a cat. The cat jumped at Airi startling her then animals never liked her since she was small. Only to be even more startled when the cat transformed in her nude son.
"Luffy and I thought you wouldn't eat a devil fruit sorry to understimate your trouble magnet. But it could be worse." She whined and sighed when Luffy teleported himself to Katakuri. Yeah what worse can be, is going to be. Her son ate Mythical zoan Devil fruit. And Linlin only laughed "That isn't funny nee-san."
After they visit the whole Charlotte family we're all very protective on Luffy but Luffys favourite cousin is Katakuri since he was the first one he met and Airi told him many story's about him. He found more things out now about his devil fruit like he has now a tricky personality and likes pranks he can teleport be invisible and grow claws and boosted hearing and smell so like strength.
Before they parted Luffy gave all of his cousins a hug and Katakuri a kiss on the cheek. Katakuri could after that feel with his brothers and sister give him envious stares and smoothie even told him to talk after Luffy left. Are they going to kill him?
At home he went to bed and was about to be asleep when he heard a crash in the kitchen he dashed to the kitchen and saw his Mother collapsed on the floor he quickly put her on the couch and ran as fast as he can to the doctor. The doctor was quickly to examine the Woman and came with bad news back she had deathly disease and examine Luffy to in case he has it too. But lucky he doesn't. That night it was diagnosed she has about six years to live and Luffy cried a lot on that day
A week later Garp came home he didn't saw Luffy since he was a one year. But he didn't expect the sunshine from the letters he got from his Daughter in Law to be so Gloomy after he got the information from Makino he was only truly Happy when he was with his Mother he didn't want to the boy to be gloomy so he had a idee. He is going to send him to Ace he heard he is pretty gloomy. He heard that ace hanging out with a run away noble he could train all three then Luffy had never trained him before. He took a glance at the boy and he seems restless
Luffy was restless not only that his mom was grave sick but he started hearing voices he never heard before. He can hear emotions and he has a weird ability to know when someone's coming even his hands are turning black sometimes. He went for a walk in the forest even thought he knew he wasn't supposed to be there cause it's dangerous and he knows that but he can fight Katakuri did teach him and he has a devil fruit. mom gave him sea stone bracelet it wasn't pur sea stone so he didn't feel drained but he has to take it of if he wants to use his powers.
He felt a strong presence and turned around to see his grandpa he didn't remember him from when he was small but Makino showed him a picture of him he felt a bit unsure as why his Grandpa feels proud happy and sad but he knows from moms story's he has to...
Run away. Good try but garp already has him in a tight hug.
"Hello Brat miss me? Of course you do let's go I can't leave you alone this gloomy. I intrude you tot Ace he ist tot very Gloomy."
Luffy kept listening to his Grandpa about this Ace and he thought maybe he could be his friend since he didn't have any. There aren't many kids in the vilage and they all avoided him cause of rumors that he is a devil spawn and his mom is a pirate.
"... So why where you in the forest? And ... Hey are you asleep?" Garp was now worried that he didn't get any replies.
"Nothing Grandpa I'm only sleepy I'm happy if I can be friends with Ac..." further he didn't speak cause he was very tired and the wind sung him a lullaby as he fell asleep. His grandpa took the 3 years old over his shoulder and went to the hut with the Mountain bandits. He knocked on the door like a normal person which caused Dadan to open the door casually and she was terrified when she saw Garp she wanted to shoot at him but was stopped at the sight of the sleeping Luffy the poor boy had shadows under the eyes and she looked at Garp wanting a explaining.
"This is my blood Grandson I didn't see him since two years rumors about his heritage are going around in the village is cause of him being without any friends. He didn't mind it cause he has his Mother but she collapsed a week ago and she has a deathly illness and only 6 years to live."
He said with a regretful voice. Not knowing Luffy could hear him. At that moment Luffy felt hurt it was a hard blow to hear that from the person who never was there for him. He was hold in his crying until he felt asleep again.
"Ok he is going to sleep with Ace and don't forget the bill and Ace is out at the moment"
Dadan brought Luffy in the room and went drinking today unnormally quiet in the house.
