Garp arrived at the beach while still holding onto Luffy. On the beach you could see a bunch of balloons tied to a big stake in the ground, while a couple of the balloons were already popped.

"See Luffy for your training today, you're going to learn how to survive in the sky because you never know what might happen when you're a marine." Garp started saying as he finally looked down to Luffy who was in his hold. Then his face went red as he punched Luffy. "How dare you fall asleep on me when I'm talking to you, don't you know how to be respectful to your elders!"

"Ahhhh Grandpa that hurt!" Luffy yelled with tears in his eyes as Garp dropped him to the ground.

"Well that's what happens when you're being disrespectful to your elders." Garp replied with an annoyed look in his eye."Now as I was saying, it's time to start your training for today even though we're already off to a late start."

"Grandpa why do I have to train? None of the other kids in town do it." Luffy said while still rubbing his head.

"Well none of the other kids in town are going to become a great marine like you will be," he replied.

"But Grandpa, I don't wanna be a marine, they're so boring. I want to go on adventures and have fun when I grow up." Luffy pouted.

"You brat! Marines aren't boring, they have a very important job to protect people from scum like pirates and bandits. Don't disrespect them!" He yelled while punching Luffy over the head again.

"Waaaa Grandpa stop that!" He cried out while nursing his head again.

"You can never stop the fist of love!" Garp yelled back while walking away from Luffy and towards the stake in the ground that had a bunch of balloons tied to it. Then he grabbed the stake out of the ground and ripped all of the balloons off the stake. He tossed the stake to the side while he was holding onto all of the balloons by their string. After that he started walking towards Luffy, who was trying to back away from him.

"Grandpa what's with all those balloons?" Luffy spoke up with a scared look in his eyes.

"This here is for you're training today. Which you would know if you were listening earlier!" Garp yelled with an annoyed look in his eye, while he stalked towards Luffy the way a lion would stalk his prey before it goes in for a kill.

"What training?" Luffy gulped.

"Sky training of course." Garp looked at him with an almost sadistic look in his eye.

After he said that he grabbed held of Luffy while tying all of the balloons onto him. He tied some of them to his arms while others to his chest.

"Remember Luffy try to stay away from seagulls, sharp things, and anything you think of that could possibly pop a balloon." He said as he finished tying all of the balloons onto Luffy.

"Ahhh Grandpa no, please stop!" Luffy screamed as Garp let him go.

"Also those balloons only have about eight hours of air left in them. You would have had more time if you hadn't tried to run away earlier but oh well!" Garp shouted at Luffy who was about twelve feet in the air now.

"Somebody please help me I don't wanna die!" Luffy shouted as he was still going up higher and higher into the sky.

"I feel like there was something I forgot to tell him." Garp mumbled to himself while staring at Luffy who was almost so far up now that he looked like a speck. "Oh yeah I forgot to tell him to try to stay near the island, so when the air decompresses out of those balloons he can kick his legs back and forth so he can eventually land. Ah I'm sure it's fine and he'll figure something out since he's my grandson after all Bwahahaha" Garp laughed out.

"Ah I might as well go back to the bar and see if Makino has any donuts or rice crackers since it's going to be awhile." Garp said with a grin on his face as he walked back to town. Not knowing that this would be the last time he saw his grandson for quite awhile.

Meanwhile with Luffy who was still in the air screaming and crying, heard a loud pop noise. Luffy looked up to see a seagull on the balloons, who was glancing at the other balloons with curiosity shining in his eyes. Then the seagull moved and pecked at one of the balloons which caused another loud pop noise, and also made Luffy drop down lower.

"No you stupid bird! Stop that and go away!" Luffy shouted with tears streaming down his eyes.

Unfortunately that seemed to egg the bird on even more, so it started popping more balloons and then even more birds showed up and started popping balloons too.

"No please I don't wanna die yet! Please, please stop it!" Luffy screamed while sobbing now.

Luffy was dropping down pretty fast now and sadly he wasn't above the island anymore. He was above the ocean now and he didn't know how to swim at all, so if he did drop he would drown for sure.

He only had about 15 balloons left now before he would completely fall but there was nothing he could do to stop the birds. Luffy knew he would most likely die by drowning out here all alone. So he did the only thing he could do, he kept sobbing and screaming hoping it would actually make a difference.

Then Luffy started counting the pops to know when he would fall.

Pop! So thats nine left!

Pop! Eight!

Pop! Seven!

Pop! Pop! Pop! Four!

Pop! Three.

Pop! Pop! One!

Luffy held his breath as he could already fill the wind rushing through his clothes as he fell from about ten feet in the sky.

Pop! Zero!

Then he hit something hard and passed out.

Author's note time ;). Also I don't own One Piece or anything in the franchise.
