Chapter 1 : They call him StrawHat Luffy
Time is elusive. Has ten years really gone by so quickly?
Ten years ago, Shanks entrusted his Strawhat to him, making a promise to meet up again he became a great pirate. Ever since that day, he had been training until he coughed out blood, just for this moment.
"IT'S TIME TO RULE THE SEAS!" He yelled out, throwing both of his hands up in a Banzai cheer. He set off under the cheers of his fellow villagers. Makino, and even the Mayor was there to send him off. All he had at the moment was a small dinghy and a barrel of provisions but it was a start. It was time to keep his promise to Ace, to Sabo.
"Here comes the future ruler of the seas! StrawHat Luffy!"
Perched on his head, was his greatest treasure, his pride and his promise.
Luffy tilted his frayed Straw hat, blocking the bountiful rays of sun. It was a good day to set out to sea. He had already waited ten long years, Ace beat him by three years and sailed off earlier. The last he heard of him, He was captain of his own Pirate crew, The Spade pirates. Now it was his turn to form his own crew. About ten people seemed right.
He ticked off his fingers. "Let's see... hmmm."
"We need a cook, a musician, another cook, another singer, a first-mate cook?, a dancer, uh..."
He took a look at the giant whirlpool that was threatened to dragged him and his small dinghy to the depths.
"Maybe I should add in a navigator too ... nah, another Cook."
To most people, a giant whirlpool would've sent them into a panic and even the calmest monk would break a sweat. However, Luffy wasn't concerned at all.
And why?
Because it was time for a nap.
Crazy people have crazy luck.
There were times when life play funny tricks on you.
Coby liked to call it karma. It had to be. He must have done something horrible in his past life in order to warrant such a fate. How else would he have been cursed to become a cabin boy for the fattest and ugliest woman in the world? His sad story began two years ago when he jumped onto a ship to go fishing. Much to his horror, the ship belong to Lady Alvida, the "fairest" throughout all the seas. Which brings us back to the present with Coby polishing her shoes.
Lady Alvida can be described in three words.
Crazy Fat Hoe.
Crazy? Apparently, she had the notion that she had the perfect figure, her face devoid of pimples, and her skin flawless. In reality, She looked like a miniature killer whale with too many spots on her face. There was another reason why the world Hoe had been added in. The Crazy fat hoe carried around a fricken' huge iron mace. One wrong look, one wrong comment, one speck of dust on her ship, and say hello to Mr. Mace. Coby liked to believe that he had survived two years due to his cunning and fast thinking brain, But the harsh truth was he was a coward who lick the dirt of her shoe if she asked.
It was a day like any other for Coby. But wait! Could it be? YES IT WAS!
A FLOATING BARREL!
Floating barrels are good, Coby learned that through experience. Usually most barrels that float signify that the container was sealed properly. Chances were, the barrel contained some provisions that were washed overboard, maybe some dried meat jerky or even sake! A/N: Japanese alcoholic beverage made from rice. Sake and Grog will have the same meaning.
Alvida gave but the smallest of scraps to him, meaning it was enough to keep him alive but his body was severely lacking in any proper protein and vitamins. The only reason why his teeth weren't falling out from scurvy like the rest of the crew was because he sold whatever he could find in the barrels and used that money to buy limes. Also whenever Alvida attacked a merchant ship or any other sailing vessel, Coby would rush to find the kitchen so he could steal some food and get his intake of lime juice. Stealing treasure or money was too noticeable and Alvida made no one looted anything beside's her.
Coby rolled the heavy barrel into the storage shack, it was pretty heavy. A snide voice spoke up, "Why Coby, What have you got there? Is that a Barrel of Rum I've see you found?"
Coby gulped and turned to see the three stooges. They were the rough and ugly type, despicable cut throat pirates. Rumor was, those three got the title of the three stooges by somehow ... well ... What word would describe the bravery and the amount of disgust it took to actually bang a mini-killer whale? Coby flinched and drew back when they surrounded him. "Yo. Coby. You ain't see nothing right?" Their putrid breathe washed over him. He sincerely hoped that their breathe was naturally that bad and not the scent of Alvida's P$$^y. Coby barfed a little in the back of his throat at the thought.
Weakly, he said, "I didn't see nothing."
A double negative.
Of course the dumb Neanderthals didn't catch it. Much to all of their surprise, the barrel lid sprang open and a young teen popped out. "What a great nap!"
WHAT THE DEVIL?
While the three stooges wondered where the rum went, Coby was wondering how anyone could have survived being tossed around in the boundless ocean in an airtight container.
"SLACKING OFF YOU SCURVY DOGS?" The tell tale sign of a shrill banshee and the sound of a spinning club set off all four of their ingrained survival instincts. Out of habit more than anything, they all dropped to the floor, allowing the spinning club to smash the shacks into wooden debris and sent the new arrival rolling down the hill. Coby gathered his wits and ran after the barrel.
It was safer that way.
He raised his hands in the typical Luffy greeting. "My name's Luffy! Where am I?"
Coby stuttered, not knowing what to make of the new arrival. "You're on an island Iron mace Alvida uses as a hideout. I'm Coby, her cabin-boy."
Luffy nodded sagely. "I see ... well none of that matters to me."
Coby didn't what to say. The young teen before him was oddly dressed, a red vest and blue shorts that frayed at the knee. The straw hat on his head added to the country look but the bracer he had on was totally out of place. It was a hard to describe his bracer. It was a big blue glass circle that covered the back of the hand. It glowed a deep sea blue, shining and pulsating, as if it were alive.
"Do you happen to have a dinghy? Mine got crushed by the giant whirlpool."
Coby gaped.
What crazy luck ...
"I have one. Um... Kinda. Follow me."
Coby led Luffy deeper into the forest where his masterpiece was. It took him two years of hard work and many saved up barrels but it was worth it, It was his own dinghy.
Luffy looked at what appeared to be planks of woods held together by nails. "Huh? What is this? A coffin?"
Coby cried weakly,"No ... it's my escape boat, it took me two years to build."
Luffy was straight forward. "It took you two years to build an escape boat and you didn't escape yet?"
"I WISH I COULD! JUST THINKING ABOUT ALVIDA MAKES MY BLADDER GO WEAK AND I WANT TO PUKE." Coby shouted. "I went fishing one day and got on the wrong ship, now I'm Alvida's cabin boy!"
Luffy laughed, "Wow, you are dumb. You must've done something bad in your past life. it's conned ya you know."
Coby sweat dropped. "You mean karma?"
Luffy picked his nose. "No, My gramps say if you do something bad, conned ya will get you cause life is going to play a trick on you."
"So how did you end up floating in a barrel anyway?" Coby questioned. Luffy smiled widely, all his teeth showing. "Heeeheehe, I'm going to be Pirate King!"
"A..a..c..Ack. P...P ... Pirate King?" Coby choked out, jaw dropping at the thought of it.
"Uh-huh. Pirate King"
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
"So Luffy-san is a pirate?"
"Ah."
"Your Nakama?"
"Don't have any yet. Do you sing?"
Coby stumbled over the sudden question. "uh... no? Why?"
"Cause I need a musician. Pirate sing and have fun right? Got to get one." Coby choked at the sight of Luffy's laid back attitude. Did he seriously think he could become the Pirate King without any crewmates, or ship?
Coby shook his head in denial. "No way." Luffy frowned, "Why not?" he said. "Because the Pirate King is someone who has everything in the world. Wealth Fame, and Power consolidated into one person. Meaning you're after the 'One Piece' in the golden age of piracy! It's sucidal, every Pirate in the world is out looking for it!" Luffy cut in with a pout. "Well, so am I."
"It can't be done, you'll die before you find it." Coby mumbled in a low voice.
Luffy grabbed both of Coby's shivering shoulders and looked him in the eye. "Coby. A man is not a man without a dream. Even if I die trying, It's better than not following my dream. Everyone has a dream, all you need is the grit, the ambition to realize it. Don't you have a dream?"
Coby was awed by Luffy's passionate speech. There was nothing but determination and ambition etched into Luffy's eye. Inside his guts, Coby felt it, he actually believed Luffy could become the Pirate King. Licking his dry lips, he stuttered, "I-I do have a d-dream..."
"Louder Coby! Where's your willpower? Show me some guts and shout it to the world." Luffy encouraged.
Coby opened his mouth side and shouted on the top of his lungs. "I WANT TO BE A MARINE AND TO UPHOLD 'JUSTICE'!"
Luffy slapped him proudly on the back. "There you go, Now follow your dream. You took the first step and realized that this is what you want!"
Coby found a new strength within. "I can do it, I'm going to join the Marine or die trying, then I'll arrest Alvida and-"
A Iron Mace smashed down in front of his face, destroying his dinghy, two years of hard work. "Just who are you going to arrest Coby?", Alivda growled. Coby felt his bladder weaken before bringing up the memory of his dream. Almost immediately Coby felt his resolve settle. Luffy being Luffy, pointed at Alvida and asked, "Who is this tough looking old biddy?"
Coby grinned. "She's the ugliest and fattest bitch throughout the Seas, Killer Whale Alvida."
Luffy burst out laughing, "Killer whale, that's a good one."
Alvida saw red. "I don't care if you're Roronoa Zoro, or Kami himself, Die you little brats!" She swung a 100Kg metal mace down with all her might, intending to crush both Luffy and Coby in one blow. Luffy pushed Coby back and grinned. "You did a good job Coby, I'll take over now." Coby watched in horror as the Mace descended upon them. Luffy was guarding, bending his left hand as if he were guarding his face with an invisible shield.
Silence. Popping eyes. Hanging jaws.
The mace stopped when it made contact with the back of Luffy's hand. Despite the weight difference and the force behind the blow, Luffy's hand was not pushed back a single centimeter. All they could see was his wide smile, his eyes hidden underneath his straw hat. All of the sudden, he didn't look like a country bumpkin anymore. There was a mysterious aura around the teen that sent chills running down their spines.
"W-W-What the h-hells going on?"
"Heeheehe" Luffy grinned. "You can't beat me. Why don't you try your own attack for a size?" Pushing aside the metal club, Luffy drew his hand back and swung his arm out, intending to backhand Alvida in the face. This was the tricky part.
Luffy's Yata no Kagami was tricky to use. Despite it's somewhat misleading name, the Eight Span mirror was more like a shield. According to the legends, The Eight Span mirror was suppose to be capable of reflecting any attack.* This is actually dependent upon the user.
The first time Luffy used the shield to protect himself from the bullets, the shield mirrored the amount of force being applied to the bullet. What happens in the end is the two equal forces cancel each other out and the bullet drops harmlessly to the ground while the shield received no damage. This time Luffy did something differently. Throughout the years of using his mirror, one trick he developed was to only use the core of the shield.
The obsidian black part was somehow retractable and it slid into the blue core. In terms of space, there was no way it could have physically fit.
A mystery shield indeed.
Luffy was using his second trick now. First he would absorb the force behind the attack and then store it into the core of the shield. When he attacks with the shield, he would have to make contact with the enemy, and then release the stored up power. The timing had to be very precise, otherwise the attack would dissipate into thin air.
The attack connected beautifully. His backhand release impacted Alvida right in the face, the force of her own blow threw her back and sent her flying into the air and over the island before falling into the ocean.
Coby gaped in awe, What was this strength that Luffy had? He sent Alvida flying with one blow!
For most people who did not know about his shield's ability, most would come to the conclusion that his backhand had sent Alvida flying. By adding his own power, he can amplify the power stored within the shield which resulted in a devastating attack.
"Oi! Give Coby a dinghy, He's going to join the Marines."
"Yessir!" they shouted as they hurried off to prepare the boat. The rest of the pirate crew was more than glad to part with their dinghy. Luffy jumped in with an easy smile. "C'mon Coby, Lets go." For the first time in a long while, Coby smiled a true smile and ran after Luffy who carried the boat over his head as he ran to the shore.
Friendship is a beautiful thing.
"So you're headed for the grand line? I hear it's a pirates graveyard..." Coby still lacked confidence even though it was a major improvement from the past. Just thinking about the grand line made him break out into goosebumps. Luffy pointed at Coby, "Say, that Roronoa Zoro guy. He's imprisoned at the marine base somewhere?"
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
Luffy shrugged. "He sounds pretty weak to me if he got caught by the marines." Coby gasped, "No way! He's a demonic beast! Luffy-san, you should stay away from him. he's called the 'Pirate Hunter' for a reason. They say he wanders the sea and hunt down fugitives."
"Then he's strong. If he's a good guy. I'll recruit him as my nakama."
"WHAT! NO WAY LUFFY-SAN! It's a bad idea!" Luffy pulled out a dried squid and smacked Coby across the face with it before chewing on it. "Calm down. I'm still deciding whether to let him join or not. If he's a good guy... I'll let him join." Coby rubbed his face, "He's obviously a bad guy if he got arrested!"
Luffy threw back his head and laughed. "Well I'm a pirate, so I'm a bad guy too! Wait! I'm a good guy though! But pirates are 'bad guys'. So I'm a good 'bad guy'? He frowned and massaged his temples. "Ugh my brain hurts from thinking about it. That's it, I'm a mystery guy"
Coby let out a nervous chuckle.
Luffy will become the Pirate King ... maybe...

The Lottery Lottery Fruit : Kagu Kagu no mi
The Sniff Sniff fruit
The lottery stopped on an abstract fruit, there was an odd purple smoke coming from the porous purple exterior.
Ten years later
Luffy pushed Coby back behind him. "Good job Coby, I'll take it over from here."
Coby looked in horror as the iron mace tore through Luffy's body.
NOOOO!
Luffy's dismembered pieces swirled with blue smoke before reforming his body. He was grinning.
Everyone was shocked, the boy should have been crushed to a pulp but his body turned to smoke and reformed. Alvida swung at his head, leaving him headless. But it reformed with a frown. "Just because I can't die doesn't mean I like it you know."
Alvida growled. "You ate the devil fruit didn't you!"
Luffy grinned widely. "Yup, it's the kagu kagu no mi, Logia type. I'm a Sniff Sniff man!"
Luffy took a horse stance and clapped both hands together, eyes closed in concentration.
Everyone but Alvida ran off, not wanting to see what sort of attack he would come up with.
Luffy let out a primal howl. "SHOCKWAVE FLATULENCE!" There was a hidden flap at the seat of his blue shorts and it was there for a good reason. The following expulsion of gas would have surely blown a hole in his pants.
A vile purple smoke hung heavily in the air.
Luffy stood back up and grinned.
"With my powers, I can create a gas that smells so bad, one sniff would be enough to knock you out. NOW TAKE A SNIFF OF THIS!"
Tendrils of purple gas twisted almost lifelike as they took up the shape of a purple Luffy, evilly laughing. They streamed towards her and went up her nostrils.
Alvida fainted while retching.
Luffy frowned.
Who knew that one could die by choking on their own vomit after being knocked unconscious.
Oh well, He is the Sniff Sniff man, the one who will be Pirate King!
Omake part 1 end.
Sneak Preview :
Luffy eyed Helmeppo and dashed past the crowd of marines with surprising grace. He snagged the youth by the collar and started running. "Hey, where are Zoro's swords?" Helmeppo's head was bumping against the floor with each step Luffy took. "It's in my room a bit back, we just passed it." Luffy kneed Helmeppo in the crotch. "Why didn't you say so sooner?" In the room, there were three Katana's, Luffy didn't know which one it was. Helmeppo wasn't much help seeing that he was sleeping. Well a knee to the crotch tends to do that. When he glanced out of the window, his blood grew hot and heavy.
Coby was lying motionless on the floor, covered in blood while the rest of the marines pointed there rifles at Zoro. It was his turn to act.
He crashed through the window and put himself in front of Zoro with his arms open.
TEKKAI!
A/N: So, I explained a bit of Luffy's power. I decided the shield would be too cumbersome to carry around all the time, not to mention it would be too noticeable. What happened was Luffy discovered that the black obsidian portion of the shield could retract into the blue core. The mirror also has special reflective/repelling property. I don't want the Yata no Kagami to be too strong. Like anything else, it has it's weaknesses.
For those of you who are wondering about what happened in the ten years that transpired, fear not. I will slowly reveal everything you need to know.
Also, some of you might be wondering if there will be any romance in this story. This is mainly an adventure fic but maybe ...
Remember to submit your questions for the SBS corner!
Also I'm writing a mini-series of what it would be like with the Kagu-Kagu no mi! This is a side story much like what Oda-sensei does with he cover pages.
I hope you like it!
SBS CORNER Number One
Q: Fenrir the vicious :Dude luffys basically a god now don't you think he has too much power?
A: Es-Sensei : Nope. Luffy actually has a lot of limitations. He will take Physical damage like any other human being. The Kami Kami no Mi's Power will be revealed in the future. Also the term God would be a bit misleading. The fruit does not make him a god, they just grant him certain attributes.
Q :Majin Hentai X :So how are you going to toughen up Luffy's enemies now that Luffy has this new ability?
A : Es-Sensei : Good question. It's not a matter of making them stronger or not. It's the way they approach Luffy in battle. If you would note, against Arlong, or even Enel, he relied a lot on his Rubber body to survive. Can you imagine what would happen if he weren't immune to physical damage? He'd be dead five times over. Another hint I'll give is, Someone will eat the Gumo Gumo fruit so look forward to that!
So this is the end of the first chapters SBS. Any questions or concerns just leave in the review.
Ciao until the next SBS~
