I only own new powers and possible new characters. I will also say this only once unless I forget, bad memory, all the people on the straw hat pirates will be more focused on all aspects of their trade and its branches for lack of better word after they get something that helps them along and this story is ahead so they can train up

Chapter 2.

The two partners have been sailing for a week carefully looking for the "slipstream whirlpool". It was a whirlpool that was like a tunnel but it was a risk because where you come up is unknown and the chance of death. A couples hours later the whirlpool formed and Void grabbed a reinforced barrel that Luffy had enlarged to fit both of them. While doing this Luffy was steering the boat away as he didn't want the boat to be destroyed and the fact that it could be called back to Luffy.

The boys hopped in to the barrel quickly and fell asleep just as fast because of the chance of the tunnel being so long it took and hour or something. It was thirty minutes later when the barrel was found by a young boy named Kody. The boy was able to get the barrel onto the ship he was on but not before two of the pirates that were on the ship walked up and threatened him. Kody nodded fearfully to their threat and watched as they approached the barrel only to get a jaw full of fists from two yawning males.

Luffy and Void looked around before settling for on Kody and asked one question," Where's the meat?" the pink haired kid looked around before pointing to a box at the other end of the room. The same boy looked in grotesque fascination as they devoured the food faster than a peregrine falcon can dive (if I remember right 200 miles per hour and if I'm wrong please just tell me and not be all snide about it). Luffy and Void looked back a second later and let loose a belch that rocked the ship. Unfortunately, put all the pirates on the ship on guard and rushing towards them.

The two parties met each other at the front of the ship. The pirates stood stiffly before separating to let a small moon through. "Kody I see your fraternizing with the enemy but… if you answer this correctly I'll forgive you… who is the most beautiful in all the seas," said the small moon. The boy started to say something but Luffy said," Who's the lady that makes the basilisk look pretty." It was here that the, now identified, lady got mad and swung here spiked club at the at the ebony haired devil fruit user. Of course the boy dodged with ease. Void took that as a sign to attack and knocked out all the pirates.

He also wrote a letter letting Alvida know about the slip slip fruit with a p.s. that said because you're really really ugly. Luffy took this time to search for his connection to his ship before transporting it on the side of the ship. All the males hopped onto it with Kody a little reluctant. The boys started up a conversation with the younger boy by asking him if he knew any strong people in east blue. It took a while but Kody recalled a bounty hunter name Roronoa Zoro that got that was last seen on some island to the south.

The older kids nodded before setting course in that direction in hopes that this bounty hunter would be their third in command. Then Kody realized why they suddenly changed course and yelled," Wait your going to look for him he'll kill you!" Luffy and Void just smirked while looking forward to seeing if Zoro would be up to their standards to become one of the straw hat pirates.

It didn't take them long to reach the island the infamous bounty hunter was on and even less time to see where he was held. The boy with the straw hat and kid who resembled a sea king (nose, slit pupils, sharp teeth, claws on hands and feet, with green skin and hair with the middle red and spiked up(like a Mohawk)). Almost simultaneously they nodded and hopped the fence only to see a girl hop over too with a bowl of rice balls. They stared at her for a few seconds before shaking their heads and grabbing her as soon as she fed a few rice balls to the tied up bounty hunter.

Not a second later and odd looking guy came into the clearing with two guards and started to harass Zoro. During the few minutes he was mocking the green-haired man they were informed about everything of the guy and his father, who was apparently a ruthless dictator,. A couple hours later we see the ,so far, only members of the straw hat crew chowing down on unidentified meat when the marine captain's son, Helmeppo, walked and stated haughtily that he was going to execute the straw hat candidate in three days, before snootily walking out the bar.

He was turned around, though, and punched by two mad devil fruit users. Everyone stared in shock, except Helmeppo who ran to his 'daddy' to get them executed. They left the bar just a few minutes later to tell Zoro about the dumb sons' treachery. Zoro looked on in shock at the two before him, he knew the son was like metal so impure that the devil wouldn't use it but to go back on your word like that made him angry enough to agree to their request of becoming their third in command. The honorary brothers looked at each other and smirked before they started the one of the only three rokushiki they knew, geppou, to jump up to the top of the tower.

From the force of their last jump they hit a statue and shattered it before quickly spotting Helmeppo and grabbed him, running off. While on the run downstairs they forced him to tell them where Zoro's swords were. He told them they were in his room, down the hall. When they got there they locked him in his closet before they saw three swords against a wall under a shelf with a chest on it. Luffy grabbed the swords and created a portal next to the tied up swordsman and, just to do something, Void grabbed the chest.

It took them no time to be next to Zoro and untied him then gave him his swords. Void then turned all of their attention to the chest before opening it showing a steel gray fruit. Luffy and void stared in shock and smiling before giving it to Zoro saying," Here this is your since we already ate a devil fruit and don't worry about the drowning thing we'll help learn… geppou or as I like to call backup so I won't drown," said Luffy and Void. The sound of feet brought Zoro back to focus before he ate all of the fruit before he reached metal ball like seed before he dropped it in his pocket.

A little way off Luffy and Void smirked to each other because they did the same thing for their fruit seed except they put it in stasis in a pocket dimension. The sea king-like human stood back when they started shooting letting Luffy put a giant hole in front of him while an identical one appeared under Morgan's axe totally wrecking it from all the bullet impacts. At this point the villagers along with Kody appeared all staring awe. The other marines started to laugh before one bashed Morgan over the head with the butt of his gun.

At this everyone started to chortle. They partied for a full week a third of which Zoro was being taught geppou, while not being real good he was able to make one jump before he lost his focus and likewise was able to stand on midair for two seconds, another third was for him to find out his power ironically it was the ability to make metals, jewels, and crystals, but he couldn't make it come out as armor or weapons. the last third was straight partying at the end of that they had to leave because if the higher-ups in the marines knew they were allowed there the marines would lose their job.

They didn't have a compass so they just started drifting around. Eventually they hit an island and set off in search of food. The place was stocked full of fruit and had lots of water. They took a quarter of everything they found putting it in the void.

When they were about to leave they were attacked by a giant monkey like creature what was odd was his size and color. He was nine feet tall and purple. It rushed them swinging an odd shaped stick it looked just like a sword. Zoro signaled that he would fight the monkey and brought out his own swords. Right when it was in place Zoro struck hitting non-lethal places.

The monkey looked in shock before bowing awkwardly to Zoro. The Straw Hats blinked three times before patting the monkey. The monkey was then stood up and walked over to Zoro and held up his bokken and started swinging. In some weird fashion Zoro understood what the monkey wanted… to be trained by Zoro.

Zoro nodded his consent and the monkey started pounding his chest and other monkeys showed up, it was apparent that the purple monkey was the out-of-ordinary monkey because all the other ones were blue. It walked over to an old looking monkey and grunted some things to him. The other monkey nodded sagely. The original monkey opened it arms wide beat the ground in front of him, shaking the island they were on, before digging around and picking out a seed and giving it to Zoro who gave it to Luffy who put it in a pocket dimension.

The monkey looked hurt, because to him it looked like his master gave away his present to someone who threw it away, but Zoro explained what happened. He stilled looked a little hurt but got over it and followed when the Straw Hats walked away. They got back on their ship and left pretty quickly setting out looking for a place that would make them a ship.
